Why Most Atheists
Will Never Join
an Atheist Organization
by Jim Versluys
from Positive Atheism; July, 2001
This work may not be posted or reprinted
without written permission from Positive Atheism.
suppose every atheist is bound and determined to have a bad story about their childhood -- some nun that beat them, some crazy Baptist preacher teaching that dancing is sinful, some molesting priest.
I had none of it. I thankfully grew up Catholic, and I have no regrets. Everyone was friendly, intelligent, grounded, and exactly like the Church would have for every member. I sometimes get the idea that either other people are lying about their horror stories or the Church has a conspiracy to keep all the assholes in a few Parishes.
I had no deconversion experience. I never met the ultimate idiot which runs through the stories of most activist atheists. I still to this day squint my eyes when I hear some atheist say a bad experience was what changed them: does this mean the idea wasn't important, only some human's view of it? I heard Einstein was a prick to many people -- somehow that never cast any doubt on e=mc² for me. For some amazing leap of the intellect, I decided that physics might still be true.
I assume now most atheists will be questioning whether or not there is such a thing as an atom now that you know the founder thought black people were not humans -- I expect all atheists who used a human pretext to lose religious belief to write me and tell me what they intend to put in place of physics now that they know the terrible truth that they might not like some physicists. I suggest you look at the giant turtle explanation for the world -- after all, the people who wrote that were well regarded as nice and highly intelligent natives, so they must be right.
I had no deconversion, just a slow and steady de-believing, an outcropping of growing up intellectually and having a natural inclination toward the philosophical questions of life. The inherent inconsistencies of the belief in question simply built up to their natural conclusions. I eschew dogmatism about religion -- it seems like a quaint notion, like someone believing in Santa. Like a Santa for adults, it makes them behave and think good thoughts.
Why should anyone join an "atheist" organization? Simply put -- they don't exist. The very good reason of why most atheists would never dream of joining an atheistic organization is because most atheistic organizations are not atheistic at all, they're shills for ideological commitments other-than-atheism. And when I say other-than-atheism, I of course mean self-described leftist organizations. Humanism, vegetarianism, identity politics, and all sorts of patent nonsense go under the umbrella of atheism, as any jaunt around the net or an appearance at your local atheist organization will show you.
Some people are just atheists. Some of them eschew humanists for Hobbes. Some of them giggle uncontrollably whether they hear Peter Singer or Pat Robertson.
I confess to being unnaturally unbelieving. Perhaps it's a defect in my character, but the rantings of Madalyn Murray O'Hair did more to kill any interest I could have in joining an atheist group than any sit-down with St. Thomas Aquinas ever could. As the illustrious H. L. Mencken noted, every person, no matter how intelligent, has his gaping holes in horse sense. It does not seem to me atheists as groups have any appreciable advantage in the Departmenté del Brains over their Methodist counterparts.
For every belief I find in angels that can cure a broken hip I find an atheist who believes quartz crystals cures herpes. For every Catholic worker who believes they are doing the Lord's Work I find a demsoc who honestly believes in such obviously silly ideas as the true equality of mankind and the moral uprightness of democracy.
So with my defects I am unable to find out why I should join any atheistic organization. I find the simple phrase of Einstein's, "I cannot conceive of a God who would reward or punish his creatures, or who has a will of the kind we experience in ourselves" a perfect encapsulation of sense. I hardly need to carry it past that point.
Toward that end, keeping in mind the limitations of billions of people with IQs in the low range, I have decided that maybe religion is just fine for the masses. The only place I am concerned with inculcating atheism is in thinkers. And let's be clear about that -- not all thinkers, just the few that count, meaning the few that think about what our society looks like. There are many people who get along just fine with a Dungeons and Dragons approach to the meaning of the universe. It doesn't hurt them at all, simply because the belief doesn't get directly in the way of what they do. I don't care if the average fool believes in a Holy Ghost, but I am concerned about the regular people who believe in regular ghosts.
The extent that religion is a set piece of society is the extent that it has made peace with the proper running of things, and is hence more ritualistic than religious. That means the blasé Baptists and the lackadaisical Catholics I grew up with aren't shoving the healing power of shakra down my throat or showing up at my door at three in the afternoon after I've just finished bunny-fucking my girlfriend, asking me if I want the Lord in my life. The Catholic Church I went to consisted of one hour a week in church, forty-five minutes of teaching me to be a good boy in Sunday school and some charity events. That was it. It was like a social club with funny windows. The people with real possibility for trouble are the new religions: scientology; New Age; any religion that goes door to door.
It would be nice if an atheistic organization existed, but as far as I can tell, it does not. I have now met a total of one, count them on your hand, one person in an atheistic organization whom I would care to hold a conversation with, and he is printing this piece that you see right now. As a point of fact, I have found my repulsion for organized atheists grows in direct proportion to my exposure to them.
Maybe one exists. Certainly not in the main organizations on the net, Skeptic magazine, American Atheists or the "Freethought" types. If you find one, drop me a line, I'd like to see it. But you will have to forgive me if I don't believe before I take a good, hard look.

College Hockey:Leveille gets shutout in first appearance as Minnesota thrashes Colgate
MINNEAPOLIS — When a goaltender plays behind somebody regarded as one of the best in the world, opportunities to start may be few and far between.
Freshman Amanda Leveille from Kingston, Ontario, made the most of her chance, turning aside 21 shots on Saturday to record an 11-0 shutout of Colgate in her first appearance for Minnesota.
"I was so excited to play today," Leveille said. "I just couldn't wait to play when I put on the jersey. It was awesome being surrounded by such great people."
Those people generally took care of business as the Gophers (2-0) romped.
"Very pleased with the game tonight and the effort," Minnesota coach Brad Frost said. "We did some video before the game and just talked about a few of the things last night that maybe we were lacking in and made those adjustments, and I thought the team responded really, really well."
Leveille plans to maximize her education this season.
"Noora Räty is the best goaltender in the world, I think," Leveille said. "It's perfect for me because I want to develop as a goaltender. Getting to watch her is just fantastic. I've learned so much so far. She's like a mentor."
At the other end of the ice, Ashlynne Rando did not always receive the best support as she faced 45 shots for the Raiders (0-2).
"The big thing defensively is sometimes we got running around doing other people's jobs," Colgate coach Greg Fargo said. "We've got to simplify our game and trust that everyone is doing their own job, whether it's on the breakout, or defensively, or on the forecheck. We tried getting away with some things that we can't. We learned the hard way. A team like this, they're going to put it on the scoreboard when you make mistakes."
For the weekend, nobody was better at changing the scoreboard than Gophers rookie Hannah Brandt. After originally being credited with her second hat trick in as many days, Brandt had to settle for two goals and four assists after Minnesota's first goal was changed to Amanda Kessel after the game. That added up to a nine-point series for Brandt as she started to validate her choice by the WCHA coaches as the league's preseason rookie of the year.
"She just puts herself in the right spots, and then when she gets it, she's just got a fantastic release, great vision as we've seen in the first two games, and obviously can score some big goals," Frost said.
"I've just gotten to be in the right place at the right time, I guess," Brandt said.
When a player like Brandt constantly seems to wind up in the right place, eventually one has to attribute it to something more than luck.
"I think just playing a lot of hockey, I kind of know where to be," Brandt said. "But at the same time, some of it is lucky. I got set up twice by Rachael Bona today. She made two really nice passes, and I was lucky to be the one that got to put it in."
Bona finished with four assists while Kessel had two goals and three assists and Meghan Lorence scored twice.
Brandt set up classmate Maryanne Menefee for the first of her two goals and seemed to get more of a thrill from that pass than any of her own tallies.
"I love setting up people, and especially it was nice to see Jordyn [Burns] and Maryanne get their goals today," Brandt said. "I love seeing other people get their first goals and the smiles on their faces, so that was awesome."
In addition to Burns, a sophomore transfer from Syracuse, Megan Bozek and Mira Jalosuo had single tallies.
Although overshadowed by Brandt's fast start, Menefee got off well on the weekend, with two goals and two assists in game two after an assist in the opener.
"To get my first official goal as a Gopher is pretty awesome," Menefee said. "Every time we score I just love hearing them play the Minnesota song."
The visitors had far less to celebrate from the opening series.
"It was a learning weekend for us," Fargo said. "Coming into it, we really had no measuring stick as far as where we're at. I think this is a weekend that puts it in perspective for us. We liked some things; we didn't like some things. But we go back, and we'll get back to work on Monday."
Colgate returns home for its next four games, hosting No. 9 Northeastern and New Hampshire before a pair with Connecticut.
"Regardless of who we play, I think we're just going to continue to focus on us in the areas that we need to improve on," Fargo said. "Regardless of our opponent, we're going to approach every game the same way. We'll give it our best shot and try and win those games."
Minnesota expects to have junior forwards Sarah Davis and Kelly Terry back in its lineup as it hosts St. Cloud State for a WCHA series. The duo missed the Colgate series attending a national team camp for Canada.

Matt is determined to make this girl cum at least once for her live show. Cassandra is mounted to a sybian with her legs spread and arms back in a strappado-esque configuration. Her neck is bolted to the floor in front of her. Between the wrists and the neck rope, it will make it difficult for her to move her cunt off of the sybian... she will cum...
Isis layers clothespins along her sides, attaching each with string - creating a zipper. Matt applies suction cups to her nipples. Her moans increase. A tongue clamp is added and the sybian is cranked up.
Matt adds another layer of pain with the cane. She clearly enjoys the sensation. The sybian is cranked even higher. She can't help but start humping the sybian - helpless against her ability to cum. Isis gets behind her, forcing her further down on the sybian. She is incredibly close to cumming. Matt rips off the clothespins and she grinds her hips on the sybian even more.
This slut needs to suck some cock and Matt feeds it to her hungry mouth. You'll have to watch the rest to see what happens when this helpless slut gets off for you in front of the camera.

Chaz Williams Named To Initial Bob Cousy Award Watch List
Oct. 22, 2013
2013-14 Bob Cousy Award Watch List & Announcement
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Massachusetts point guard Chaz Williams has been named to the initial group for the Bob Cousy Award Watch List that was announced by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Tuesday.
Williams is one of 46 Division I players named to the list, which recognizes the top point guard in men's college basketball.
The senior from Brooklyn, N.Y. has averaged 16.2 points and 6.8 assists in two seasons at UMass. His 473 assists rank fifth in school history and are 203 shy of the school record. Additionally, his assist total since arriving on campus from Hofstra is the second-highest nationally among D-I returnees.
This watch list of candidates is fluid with the potential for a student-athlete to be added or removed during the season, but will be narrowed down to a final 20 in early February, then the final five by early March. The Cousy Award winner will be presented the award on Championship Monday in Dallas at the Hall of Fame's Class of 2014 Announcement and Press Conference.

We chased hard and Todd had some outstanding blocking from his teammate Larry. In fact, Larry maybe had the toughest job in the race. Todd timed his attack perfectly and got a big gap right away, such that quite a few people didn't realize he was off the front immediately. Todd is a solid rider despite his sorted past (which I've actually talked to him directly about). I'd probably have the most to beef about here if you look at the placings Bannock was just an all out great race and I'm inspired that Todd was able to pull off that ride. That race is well run, a great course and a super experience every year.

If you're doping at the age of 49, when Todd was caught, no reason to believe he isn't still doping. Once a doper, always a doper in my book. Complete and total loser.

Todd might save kittens from drowning in his free time, but doping to win an amateur masters race is hard to come back from and a stigma he'll have to live with as long as he races. If he's cool with that, I'm cool with my low opinion of the guy.

Thanks for the correction. I also omitted a period. I will say that the doping thing used to bug me more but as a masters guy, it's first and foremost about riding the best race I can do and not about what others may or may not do. Todd's a nice guy. He also stopped and stayed with me after a particularly bad crash last August. I talked with him about the doping issue to his face. I prefer to err on the side of figuring he's not making the same bad choices again and leave it at that. I also prefer not to make anonymous comments about people.

So first of all, I heard a rumor that he was in East Germany for a few months this summer. And you know what they do over there (other than eat their own young)...Nope, wait a second, that would have been really tough. As someone who was in the USADA testing pool (yes, just like Lance), he had to tell them his whereabouts every single day and he had multiple "surprise" tests. And yes you can confirm on the USADA website and you will see that he is one of the most tested athlete (other than a couple of ProTour guys) in Colorado. So what you all must be saying is that the USADA peeps are dunderheads and had mistakenly taken blood and urine from Todd's farm animal instead of him. Yep, I can see how that could happen.
And thanks to Adam and cwals who decided not to post "anonymous". Todd is a good guy who just happens to much faster than most of us. HIs little teammate, not so much. I hear he tried to stab someone with the crankarm off his bike.
Todd and I will be at the upcoming races. Feel free to come up and share your thoughts. We are the only two guys in that particular kit so it is not hard to find us. Todd will tell you what to do with your thoughts and his little teammate will be taking the crankarm off his bike. Have a nice day.

This is ridiculous how this plays out. I do not care what Todd does. What are his results. Whether or not he sucked off a baby calf to get himself busted or nursed off of Lances nips, he paid his price and has moved on. Put this much energy into your own training and maybe you can too win a race. He won 1 race this year. Big f'ing deal.

The Village of Rouses Point is the Northernmost town in the State of New York. It is bordered on the North by Canada, and to the East by the State of Vermont. In some of the photos all three regions can be seen.
All of the photos were taken in a one hour period on Monday, July 5, 2010 by Marc Mero and Brian Seguin, both natives of "RP" , from a seaplane operated out of Alburgh, Vermont.
I Lived on the shores of Lake Champlain for 19 years, and in sunny Miami for 36 years. I'm having fun editing and restoring photos others have taken, and also shooting photos of objects... peoples personal collections. I'm also shooting local events, and local attractions.

Oldnan says Beautiful pics but one flaw with them. Captions were used only for NCCS and the breakwater which leaves the reader wrestling with trying to identify the streets/areas of the village. It's ok if one has seen the village from the air before but for those of us who haven't it's a real chore. Book is quite expensive for the softcover version with no text to go with it.

International Evangelist, Kenny Springer, from McAlester, Oklahoma, comes this week to Ohio to share a message on returning to our faith.
Kenny Springer truly has a heart for souls, to see them saved, healed and made whole. A graduate of Rhema Bible College, he started a ministry in 1998 meeting in a friend's living room. "There was a family with a woman that was raised Catholic and the husband, was really a non-believer. They just had a desire to know more about God and they invited me, a young Bible school college student, to come to their home and hold meetings on Thursday night. It kept growing and growing and growing, and they gave their heart to the Lord. They brought in their grown children, their coworkers, their neighbors. God would just show up in a wonderful way and that continued for nearly three years," says Springer.
Obeying the voice of the Lord, Springer ventured across Oklahoma holding tent revivals. "They're not as popular anymore as they were back then, but we go into some of the farming communities and erect these huge tents and hold meetings for four, five, six weeks. I did that for a number of years and then came to McAlester Oklahoma where I am now and I've been pastoring for 12 years. The Lord has really blessed us here; we see a lot of miracles," says Springer.
Kenny Springer now serves as Senior Pastor at New Beginnings Church in McAllister Oklahoma and Director of Operations for Isaac Television, owned and operated by Springer's good friend, Pastor Anwar Fazall, owner and CEO of Isaac television and pastor of Pakistan's largest Christian church with 30,000 members. Through Isaac television, the Gospel of Jesus Christ spreads through 66 countries and reaches more than 4.3 billion people throughout Asia. "We've been able to minister in countries that don't necessarily let us come physically to minister the gospel. We are able to televise or programs in Iran, Syria, Jordan, Turkey,-a lot of the places where there a little more hostile towards the gospel. We are making plans this year to take a second satellite and that will put us in the United States, Mexico and part of Brazil. We're pretty excited about that! The third phase will cover Europe and Africa within the next three to five years. Our goal is to cover the whole earth with the gospel and were doing our utmost to accomplish that as fast as possible," shares Kenny. When Pastor Springer held an open-air meeting for 20,000 Muslims in Pakistan, he gave an altar call after speaking and 12,000 Muslims stood up and gave their life to Christ.
In his many travels holding evangelistic meetings, Pastor Springer witnessed many phenomenal miracles and healings including blind eyes opened, deaf ears unstopped and physical ailments instantly removed. He still places great emphasis on the Word of God. "We believe the Bible from cover to cover; that's our platform-the whole Bible. We are a spirit-filled, believing in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit through the Word and through the power of God. The Lord has given us a lot of open doors and avenues to minister," Springer states.
Kenny Springer brings the message to return to faith today because he senses a strong stirring to awaken people to faith. In other countries he finds the people's heart turn more to God, believing for greater miracles. "It seems recently that the Lord is sending me to our own people here in the United States because there is just a desperate need in the people. They just don't know where to go; they know about Christianity, but there are so many people that just don't know about a relationship with God, so we are really bringing the word out about the relationship between God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and were seeing a great increase in salvation and people just uniting together under the banner of Jesus Christ," Springer continues.
Springer believes God is setting the stage to bring back an earlier condition when people believed in the miracles of God. One of the main Scriptures he keeps before the people is Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
"The power of God is not diminished even though our society would like to say that it has, and they like to report that the church is suffering, diminishing, and people are walking away from their faith. There are so many people today that are looking for real faith. They're looking to the church to see if the church believes what we're preaching." As a result, Springer believes that is why he is seeing greater manifestations of God's power, glory, and healing evidenced in his ministry.
Come meet Pastor Springer as he shares his message to awaken faith at Marysville Aglow, Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 7 PM, 122 North Court St., Marysville, OH. He is also speaking Friday Saturday Sunday at Carmel Christian Center in Plain City Ohio. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to see this mighty man of God in person. It's one of those events you just will want to miss.

US Files Countersuit Against KBR, Alleging Kickbacks
Updated below
Responding to a lawsuit from Kellogg Brown & Root Services Inc. in federal claims court, the U.S. Justice Department filed a counter-suit against the company, alleging that two managers received kickbacks from a dining facility subcontractor.
The counter-suit claims that from late 2002 through 2003, Terry Hall, who was KBR's regional food services manager for Iraq and Kuwait, and his deputy, Luther Holmes, received more than $45,000 in kickbacks from Mohammad Shabbir Khan, vice president of Tamimi Global Co. in exchange for favorable treatment. During the time the managers received the kickbacks, Justice alleges, KBR awarded Tamimi subcontracts worth more than $400 million.
The subcontracts KBR awarded to Tamimi were under a U.S. Army program given to KBR in 2001, meaning "all of the allegedly improperly awarded subcontracts and KBR's profit on these subcontracts were paid for by U.S. taxpayers," the department said.
"Kickbacks in military subcontracts open the door to wartime profiteering and corrupt the integrity of our government contracting process," said Tony West, assistant attorney general for the Civil Division, in a statement.
"When we learn of such illegal conduct at the expense of taxpayers, we will pursue it," West said.
A KBR spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
UPDATE: "The DOJ's claim that KBR improperly awarded food services subcontracts to Tamimi is not supported by facts or law," the company said in an emailed statement. "We anticipate the DOJ's gross overreaching in the current counterclaim to likewise be rejected. We are disappointed with the DOJ's decision to file this suit and its vague allegations more than six years after the events in question." (KBR's full statement is pasted below.)
The original lawsuit from KBR seeks $41 million it had to forfeit after an audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency audit that found KBR overpaid Tamimi $41 million for dining facility costs from July 2004 to December 2004 compared to what it was paying other contractors during that time period.
UPDATE: KBR's full statement:
KBR in no way condones or tolerates illegal or unethical behavior. Each employee is expected to adhere to the Company's Code of Business Conduct and all applicable laws. When violations come to the attention of the company, immediate and appropriate action is taken.
The DOJ's claim that KBR improperly awarded food services subcontracts to Tamimi is not supported by facts or law. As the DOJ is well aware, when the Army originally requested that KBR provide food services in support of the military in Kuwait, the Army already was using Tamimi for the provision of food services to the troops in both Kuwait and Iraq and directed KBR to use Tamimi as a subcontractor in Kuwait. Tamimi has been a preferred food services provider to the Army for many years. Despite knowledge of various alleged improprieties by Tamimi, the Army continues to contract with Tamimi for such services today.
KBR has had a pending claim against the U.S. Government for $41 million which was improperly withheld on contracts by Tamimi to feed troops in Iraq. After discovery, the Department of Justice (DOJ) abandoned the DCAA audit which was the basis of the original withhold and has now asserted this new defense. The DOJ delayed the pending dispute for more than four months to file the current counterclaim.
As in other recent cases, the DOJ asks in its counterclaim to set aside the entire value of a contract based on some vague allegation of wrongdoing that is not tied to the contract that is in dispute. In recent cases – such as United States ex rel. Vavra v. Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc., et al., No. 1:04-CV-42 (E.D. Tex. Feb. 8, 2011) and United States v. Science Applications Int'l Corp., No. 09-5385 (D.C. Cir. Dec. 3, 2010) in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit – similar claims have been rejected by the courts and dismissed. We anticipate the DOJ's gross overreaching in the current counterclaim to likewise be rejected. We are disappointed with the DOJ's decision to file this suit and its vague allegations more than six years after the events in question.

Spring is less than six weeks away. Seed packets promising a delightful bounty from drool worthy photos in catalogs have been delivered. Planting diagrams are in full sketch. Growing season is upon us.
Along with soil health, soil moisture is critical for plant growth, especially with impending drought conditions. A practice growing in popularity among small and large scale growers is planting cover crops. Organic growers have been using cover crops or green manure for years successfully. Studies in the past couple of years have shown advantages in crop yield, soil moisture and soil health when cover crops are planted. Check out the Cover Crops Survey supported by NCR-SARE (North Central Region - Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education).
Cover crops can help urban growers maximize food production spaces. Especially in urban areas with pockets of contaminated soil, cover crops can help with bioremediation – removing heavy metals and chemicals from the soil. With water being hard to source in many urban areas, cover crops can help retain soil moisture that should lead to improved food production, better yield, and less stress for the plants. Cover crops are usually planted in the fall to prepare the soil for overwintering and planting next spring. But summer cover crops can also provide tremendous benefits.
To learn more from farmers and practicing experts, check out the National Conference on Cover Crops and Soil Health, jointly funded by the USDA-NIFA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program and the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. The conference is hosted in Omaha but all on site registrations have been issued. A great option is to visit a forum featuring a live-streamed broadcast of the conference moderated by educators and farmers throughout the country. Forum attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the session topics and provide feedback on maximizing cover crop. An RSVP is required.
If you cannot get to a forum but want to follow on social media, the twitter hashtag is #CoverCrops2014.

It truly doesn't stretch the imagination too far to accept a very successful Christian evangelist preacher who came from a rather dark background and through "the light" grows into a highly popular religious leader. It also doesn't require a wild imagination to consider that the politically powerful can and if in their mind necessary to be ruthless and brutal toward all who get in their way. So when the religious leader defies the desires of a very powerful Senator, the preacher's life is rapidly turned into a living hell with the intended result being the preacher's ultimate demise. This is the core of the movie "Persecuted" starring James Remar as the preacher, John Luther, Dean Stockwell as Dave Wilson, Raoul Trujillo as Mr. Gray, Bruce Davison as Senator Donald Harrison and Fred Thompson as Dr. Charles Luther.
Writer/Director Daniel Lusko has created a powerful and intriguing action mystery film. The story line is well defined and definitely plausible. The acting is superb throughout as is the cinematography and editing. The only issue I had and it is a small one is that the conclusion is somewhat ambiguous. But even that doesn't detract from the overall quality of the project. We deal often with deeply flawed religious leaders and severely corrupt politicians; those elements are not news. But the story unfolds meticulously and always in a captivating even riveting manor.
"Persecuted" will likely not receive an Academy Award or even a nomination, but it will thoroughly entertain you for one and half hours. One of this film's most endearing aspects is the display of what it means to really be a survivor against all odds. Regardless of anyone's religious or political beliefs the enormous courage and internal power demonstrated by the main character John Luther is priceless. That alone is my mind worth the price of admission but only if you are perceptive enough shall I say – get it. It is a great summer movie that can easily be enjoyed at anytime.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Who wins The Bachelorette 2013, who does Desiree pick on the Bachelorette this season, and is Brooks Forester the winner of Bachelorette 2013 Desiree Hartsock as spoilers are claiming? The mystery over who wins The Bachelorette 2013 was revealed in Bachelorette spoilers by RealitySteve before Desiree Hartsock's episode one. But that was not the case for The Bachelorette spoilers last year this time.
The revelation about who wins The Bachelorette 2013, and the manner in which the Bachelorette spoilers leaked online from RealitySteve, prompted a change from last year. Fans noted a change in how the spoilers came out, have they began to leak initially, and how viewers reacted to the news.
Last year, RealitySteve.com explained to news that the production schedule for The Bachelorette is different than The Bachelor. Episodes for The Bachelorette seasons are filmed closer to season air dates. In the case of The Bachelor, the finale is filmed months before the season even debuts. But in the case of The Bachelorette, a narrow lag between filming and debut makes obtaining spoilers before season premier far harder.
But RealitySteve.com told news recently that this season there was a change. He said that, during filming, he started to hear hints that Brooks Forester was the frontrunner to win the season. He said that, rather than run the initial news, he waited to hear the results from the Bachelorette 2013 winner finale.
And yet, prior to that final episode filming, Steve's source(s) asserted that the chemistry between Desiree and Brooks Forester was overwhelming on set. Despite how production might eventually edit out the chemistry to make it less apparent, Steve's sources claimed that the dynamic between these two was so obvious on set that everyone expected Desiree to pick Brooks Forester in the end. So does she?

Before the Bachelor 2013 season debuted, RealitySteve.com's Bachelorette spoilers claimed that Brooks Forester is the winner, that Desiree picks Brooks. He moreover indicated that Desiree doesn't pull any surprise twists in the finale. In fact, it was very evident to her, Brooks and the production crew that he was going to be her choice.

But how will this play on camera after the show finishes editing for the final weeks? That remains to be seen. But one thing is clear. When the season debuted, there was an enormous rush of viewers seeking answers if Brooks Forester was the winner. In previous season where winners are leaked online before the season debut, there has not been an attention on the winner. In fact for several seasons of the entire franchise, winners and frontrunners rarely gleam the attention of viewers until midseason. So why isBrooks Forester the attention of viewers from the very first episode? That remains to be seen.

For spoilers tonight, RealitySteve claims that the show features two group dates. The first heads to the Americana at Brand. A one-one-date is given to Kasey Stewart, who then gets a rose. And who gets eliminated tonight? Steve tells news "Brandon Andreen, and Dan Cox. Brian Jarosinski eliminated earlier in the episode because, well, his girlfriend showed up."

Anybody who plays for utah will not have a future. Utah is the bottom feeders. The only reason the pac 12 wanted them is to give other teams in the pac 12 a little break from their schedules.

Cletus from Coalville, you WISH that UTAH did not want him. Xavier chose NOT to go to Utah and so far, UCLA is doing so much better in the pac 12 than Utah ever will! Go get them Xav! All of the family will be there watching you tonight!! You guys are hating on someone who is so humble and has worked so hard to help UCLA become the team they are today. Don't hate Utah fans!

Cletus... really? He was nationally recruited, and by a majority of SEC schools
as well.
The truth is, no Utah schools stood a chance in getting him, especially byu. He wanted the chance to start as a freshman and byu (read weber) refused to give him the chance even if he was the best player... because reynolds played left tackle. Xavier has switched from tackle to guard because the NFL wants him to be able to play both positions.
Any school in Utah, and I am assuming in the country would be drooling to have him.
Watch the film from last years game, Xavier was 1 on 1 most of the night with Star and all but shut him down.

Spokane Ute, if you actually read the article, you'll understand why
it's said Xavier won't feel like a visitor in RES. He's played
many games on that field in high school and he could've easily been apart
of the Ute football program if he wanted to. So don't worry, there is no
mistake on that part. Keep it classy!
Cletus from Coalville, If you REALLY knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't say a word about Utah not wanting him. He started getting recruited his sophomore year of high school from big schools all around the country, including Utah! Utah and all the other schools really would've loved to have him. Know your facts before you say anything.

If you really are so certain Utah will win tonight, then if UCLA should win, will you PLEASE commit to not post online for a week... until Utah actually plays again? There are a lot of us that really need and would appreciate the break. We've found out that almost every time we "mark it down" it turns out to be another waste of paper.

Good for X. Would have loved to have him at Utah, but when a young man can find a place that helps him attain his goals he should go there. Hopefully he will leave the stadium a little sadder, but maybe a little wiser. Good luck to him the rest of the season and in life.

Is Crude Oil Ready to Resume Its Rally?
Rod David
The correction from Tuesday night's surge should have ended Friday, unless a new downleg has begun.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
Has crude oil completed its correction from the pre-war surge?
Dollar Basket
Sep Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Extending to fresh highs Friday confirmed Thursday's breakout, putting into play 83.10 so long as 81.85 holds as support.
Sep Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
Extending sharply lower Friday confirmed Thursday's breakout, putting into play 1.304 so long as 1.3265 holds as resistance.
Oct Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Despite 1405.50 having held its test as support Thursday, lower lows overnight and Friday morning tested 1491.50. A reaction up held 1405.50 as resistance, needing to recover it for another probe above 1420.00 to be in play.
Dec Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Wednesday's key reversal had fulfilled its minimum objectives Thursday, but extended down further Friday. Closing back above 24.10 would signal the pullback was resolving up to probe back above 25.00.
30-Year Treasury
Sep Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Friday's ranging held a retest of Thursday's highs. But not yet resuming the decline does keep the door open to extending the interim bounce. Closing back under 132-10 and 131-30 would still resume the decline.
Crude Oil
Oct Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
The pullback extended lower Thursday night to 106.75, which was attacked Friday morning. A probe above 110.65 would be in play back above 108.75.
Natural Gas
Oct Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Thursday's recovery did not extend higher Friday. Neither was it rejected, so any early strength above 3.64 Monday would still be credible for extending higher through the day.

Miami picked back up a 4th round selection when they sent Lorenzo Booker to the Eagles. Booker looked good when he played last year, but consider the talent he was working with. Was he that good? Or was everyone else that bad?
Maybe there was something to this deal about him not playing earlier in the season.
JT is still a Dolphin as I write this. But, there is a chance that he will be traded tomorrow - possibly to the Bucs for 3 picks in next year's draft.

Legal Research and Writing for Paralegals takes students on a step-by-step journey through the intricacies of researching legal issues and creating legal documents. The focus is on critical areas paralegals deal with daily: what law is and how to find it, what role the Internet plays in legal research, how to incorporate legal research into writing, and how to create an array of legal documents. Ethics are integral to the practice of law, and each chapter addresses issues particularly relevant to paralegals. The many practical assignments throughout and at the end of each chapter allow students to put into practice what they are learning about research and writing. The pedagogy of the book focuses on three main goals: Learning outcomes (critical thinking, vocabulary building, skill development, issues analysis, writing practice) Relevance of topics without sacrificing theory (ethical challenges, current law practices, technology application) Practical application (real-world exercises, practical advice, portfolio creation) The Paralegal Supersite Site

Examiner chats with Community Manager at Bandai Namco Games America Joseph "J" Kartje about the upcoming next generation action role-playing game Lords of the Fallen -- developed by CI Games -- slated for release October 28 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Examiner: Explain a little about Lords of the Fallen.
Joseph Kartje: Lords of the Fallen is a next-gen -- current-gen, now -- action RPG, it's coming out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It's developed by a studio out of Poland, they're called CI Games. And they are focused on making a game for gamers, really. Like a challenging, action RPG, that everyone can play but that is challenging and rewarding. There's a lot of focus on one on one combat, picking your weapon, picking your style, moving carefully through the levels.
It's kind of purposefully hard, you can't just walk through and swing everything around you have to kinda know the enemies. When are they going to attack? How are they going to attack? You've got to know your weapons. If you use the big hammer you've got to be careful, if you're using quick daggers you've got to move around really quick.
But if you die, you should know why, and you should be able to learn for next time. We don't want you to be too frustrated, like banging your head against the wall 100 times, we want you to get through it, but it should take a little while.
Ex: And what's the story?
JK: The story. Your main character, his name is Harken, and he is a bad dude. In the time that Harken lives, if you commit a sin, the deadly sins, you have a tattoo on your face. So Harken has all of these tattoos all over his face, because he's committed all these sins, all these crimes. And he's been outcast by society, but when the world's in trouble, and all these evil lords show up, nobody can really stand up to them, so they call Harken. He's the world's last hope, basically.
Ex: What is the inspiration for this game?
JK: The team wanted to make a new IP, something next-gen, something action, something with RPG elements. I think they've never done a game like this before, and they wanted to do something brand-new. I think the biggest focus is on graphics, and the feel, the vibe.
Ex: Aside from graphics, because the game does look great, why next-gen only? Is there a reason?
JK: I think the only reason is that [the developer] wanted something beautiful. Something that takes advantage of everything out there. Like, if you were going to come up with a new game, you probably wouldn't want to develop it on old platforms. I think it's a game for the core community, right? Everybody is looking forward, everybody is ready to throw their PS3s in the trash -- not that anybody does [chuckles].
Everyone is looking forward. The PS4 and Xbox One, the features on there are very attractive, and so, they just wanted to make the most beautiful game possible. I think if you put it on PS3 and 360, as well, you have to kind of normalize it a little bit. Maybe you can't get as pretty graphics, or you can't get a tighter frame rate. I think the choice is just to move on.
Ex: Was last-gen always out of the question?
JK: No. I don't think it was completely out of the question. It's just, when it came time to make the decision, they're like, we're moving forward.
Ex: Explain to us a little more about the combat.
JK: The gameplay is, there's a lot of corridors, the main area is a monastery, so you're kind of in doors. The gameplay is very focused on one on one encounters. You're not going to come across 100 enemies; however, every enemy is a danger, and you have to calculate, 'how am I going to attack this? Should I be blocking or should I just go right for it? What kind of weapon am I using? Do I use my magic? The gameplay is very, I don't want to say slow, but there is a strategic level to it.
Ex: Earlier you said there was a customization aspect to the game?
JK: Yes. So you could pick one of the classes at the beginning. You'll be able to level up and get new stats and spells throughout the game, and you'll be able to pick up new weapons, new armor, and kind of customize your guy and decide how you want to play, whether you want to be quick, whether you want to be magic focused, or whether you want heavy armor and a big two-handed weapon, that's completely up to the player.
Ex: Is there a linear storyline, or depending on the class you choose, it kind of takes you on a separate route?
JK: The storyline is pretty focused, it's pretty straight forward. As an RPG lover myself, one things I love about the genre, is that if you want I play the same game, we might pick different classes, different armor, different weapons, and we'd have a different experience. We would finish the game and have completely different looking characters. And so, I think that adds a layer of replayability. If I finish with a Cleric, I might want to go back and see how the Warrior feels.
