Skip to comments.Washington, D.C., becoming a 'Mormon stronghold'
Posted on 05/22/2012 8:47:57 AM PDT by greyfoxx39
The stunning expansion of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Washington, D.C., area is profiled in a long, interesting and meticulously accurate CNN story that suggests "the nation's capital has become a Mormon stronghold, with Latter-day Saints playing a big and growing role in the Washington establishment."
"It's hard to point to federal legislation or a White House initiative that bears distinctly Mormon fingerprints," Gilgoff writes, "while it's easy to do the same for other faiths." He cites as an example a recent White House "compromise" on contraception funding, which he says was "mostly a reaction to pressure from Roman Catholic bishops."

Actually, it was perfect.
Proclaiming Mr. Romney ineligible by virtue of his membership in the offending religion
If someone were to follow the teachings of Hugh Hefner, I'd be suspicious too.
you know what stinkers the Osmonds are
Sad to hear about the death of Marie's son.
There was a Christian fellowship church in the 70_80's where the parissioners could not take a vacation or apply for a job without permission. There were these.men at a bible study I attended who believed Christian rock was from the devil.
Thank God I know Christ or I'd.be an athiest if I was to place my views on what people say they believe.
That's the first common sense statement I've read on this thread.
I thought I was agreeing with your point...
Did you not have a point to your post ???
I believe Romney has been able to keep his faith separate from his profession
- - - - -
You may believe that but it isn't the way Mormonism works. Been there, done that and I've pinged other ex-Mormons who know that Mormonism is in no way kept separate.

Oh thats been going on in Mormonism since the beginning...
Willard had to ask permission of his Mormon CEO hierarchy to run for POTUS...
The students at BYU the Mormon college are not allowed to surf websites like FRee Republic etc...
and so on...
Very controlled...
#1...please review Romney's ties to profiteering from the porn industry (see post #287, including the link there)...something Marriott has been in going back to at least 1990...and Romney's been a Marriott board member going back to the latter 90s...tho he went off of it in latter o7...came back on...then went off again upon going into campaign mode...
#2...We can't separate "character" from gullibility to deception. Somebody vulnerable to deception -- in an area he deems to be the most important area of his life -- has "carry over" effects...most gravely (potentially) foreign policy.
"I knew you would understand and not bash the Moslems"
I didn't understand this...did you mean mormons.
I hope we are not judging if a particular mormon, catholic, or a christian soul is going after death.
- - - - - -
Mormons are not Christians. Their theology precludes it. It is not any different than to judge any other non-Christian. Christ is the way and what you believe about Christ does matter and does affect if you are a Christian or not.
Sounds to me like she was just a nasty person and whether she was a mormon, jew, christian, seventh day adventist, shed still be a nasty person.
- - - - — —
She is also typical of most Mormons, even me when I was LDS. It is the LDS attitude of superiority. BTW, the only reason Mormons are nice to 'gentiles' (all non-Mormons even Jews) is because they want to make 'the Church' look good and get you interested in converting.
I can give you a typical conversation of how Mormons lie about their beliefs to outsiders.
If a Jew was on the ballot, and a crisis occurred, I'd at least have confidence that upon such a crisis -- let's say the kind we've seen on the TV show "24" -- that this Jew in the White House could pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Who would be the "god" Romney would call upon?
He'd be a man...a sinner...who rose up and got the "god job" as appointed by what Joseph Smith called a "council of gods."
Do you think that god exists to answer any crises' prayers?
I believe Romney has been able to keep his faith separate from his profession.
Every time Willard gets up to speak in his campaign he preaches Mormonism...
Every time...
There are code words that you may not understand...
but other Mormons and those whho have some expertience with Mormo nism recognize them...
Up to now Willard has not been asked about his strange off beat utterances...
But he will...after the convention...
after the convention should Willard get enough votes and not be rejected by the Conservatives like his father George was when he ran for POTUS in 1964...Goldwater 800+ George 41..
Reporters will not let Willard continue on his easy ride...
He will be expected to explain himself...
There are many Christians who view music as from the devil, unless its in church that is, dancing as well.
I would like to know what church you went to that required permission to apply for a job or go on vacation. I have been to many churches around the US and many different denominations and never have I heard this before.
I didn't know you are once a LSD...interesting. nothing would convert me as I do not belong to a religion. I am a followet of Christ. I am steadfast with that and can appreciate the good in others, because it is not a threat to me.
I did not go there, but I know some who did when my church split. Some went to the cult like side, I stayed with the strict, but normal church. (normal compared to that). It was sad to see half the church split and get caught up in that.
can appreciate the good in others,
There is not one righteous, no not one...Romans 3:10
No dear...
I mean my Moslem friends who are very nice and very kind...
a whole lot kinder than the Mormons Ive met...
Why would you regard one group of non-Christian people and not another ???
God is no respecter of persons...
Are you a bigot ???
You claim to be a follower of Christ yet don't show concern for the souls of others and have spent more time on this thread defending non-Christians than trying to find out why we are so passionate about the subject of Mormonism.
It isn't a threat to MY faith, I know the truth. However, it is a threat to the souls of others, those who think that 'being goood' is good enough.
There is no good in anyone, only Christ is good. Athiests can be 'good' as well, doesn't make them Christians.
Rather than fall for the PR line, you may want to actually do some research, find out why people like me are so opposed to a faith we used to follow.
Christ hates lukewarm people. Remember that.
Plz TN, I understand your post. But, it is this exact thing that drove me away from the church. Picking a scripture. to make a point that doesn't pertain is frustrating. So, let me reaped, I can appreciate others who display fine character and morals to others.
I dunno. I grew up in the suburbs of Denver and there were a fair amount of Mormons in the area, maybe 5-10%, maybe more. I had Mormon neighbors, schoolmates and coworkers growing up. As far as I could tell, they're really just like about every other religion. Some were devout. Some, less so. And then there was the Mormon girl I went to prom with and the Mormon girl I dated in college who (along with their brothers) were sewing some pretty wild oats at the time (just like the rest of us were). I could say the same about the Baptists I grew up with. Some devout, others partied hard.
Yeah, there are some strange aspects of the Mormon religion but they seem to be decent people, good neighbors who are politically conservative, productive, generally successful tax-payers and who just want to raise their kids right.
I really don't get all the Mormon hate present on this forum. When it comes to religions/ideologies I feel threatened by, Mormonism is pretty far down on the list.
Oh for goodness sakes,now were calling names. Wow. I was confused that another religion wad being brought into the conversation and it threw me off. We were discussing Mormons and Christians, right. No problem if you want to open the dialogue to Muslims too. But, I try to stay on topic normally
I went to a church once that split over whether to have carpet or tile, then what color.
Just because people are Christians doesn't mean they also can not be jerks.
There all all kinds of people, some you like and some you don't yet we are to gather with believers on a regular basis, it strengths us all.
My daughter and sonIL went to a Baptist Church were he was the music leader, young guy lots of talent and wanted to liven up the worship. Oh, my goodness you would have thought the world was going to end when he went from hymnals to an over head screen (same songs). He just couldn't stand that people where looking down instead of up.
He got a lot of grief, yet when they lost their twin boys, these same legalistic annoying people were there for weeks and weeks. They cleaned the apartment, brought food, prayed with them for strength, collected money so they could get away for a few days alone and grieve. They were still annoying and still legalistic, yet they came forward to help in a Christ like fashion.
Just because people are annoying is no reason not to go to church and gather with other believers, remember we will be spending eternity with them.
Mormonism is a secretive, media savy cult, and i think it is related to to Romney's lack of openness, and thus his inability to related to others.
Yes, and Catholicism is also about works, but God knows a persons heart and whether there is a personal relationship
the official position:
so do you have a scripture that tells you to side and believe and aid the unGodly against the children of God ???
Is there actually a scripture in the Christian Bible that instructs us to make war on the believers and to champion the unrighteous against those who believe in the LORD Jesus Christ and Him crucified ???
No there is not...
so why do you who have rejected the children of God, His Bride the church persist on persecuting Christians ???
Was it so bad for you ???
Were you hung on a cross ???
Did you hang there and bleed your lifes blood away ???
No you didnt...
But God did for you and for us...
It appears that you have been too long away from assembling yourself together with other believers...
Frankly Holly with me you have zilch credibility...
No group of believers is peaches and cream..
Everyone has problems of some sort...
Ive been going to church for 63 years now...
I havent found a perfect set of people...
Even my beloved FI are not perfect...
although I love and need every last one of them...
and I count it a very humbling joy and privilege to know them ...
and to know we will spend eternity together...
and I will defend them when they are right and corect them when they are wrong or let someone else do it...
But I WILL NOT accept error when it comes to the LORD Jesus Christ or Christianity...
Holly you can be as wrong and in error as you please about the false religion Mormonism...
though your error will be pointed out to you ...
But when you who have rejected the fellowship of the believers in the LORD Jesus Christ try to lecture me and the other believers on what is in the Christian Bible...
I will not sit still for that dear...
I dont know how old you arte...
But you should get yourself into a Bible belieiing church and meet some Christians imperfect as they are...
Youy might find you will lose that shell youve built for yourself and actually enjoy the company...
Im sure youre a very likable girl in person...
Why dont you give some Christians a chance to get to know you ???
A Busy Body Nana Person
I can appreciate others who display fine character and morals to others.
yeah well...
Holly thats just why God says He doesnt do it that way...
He reads the heart...1 Samuel 16:7
Nana unapologetically quoting the Bible she loves...
"Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? " (Acts 15:10)
And those were laws from God, not Mormonic mandates.
However, "You may play half-court basketball."
But how far does "Never be alone" go?
I don't know if you're speaking to me directly, or just chose to click on my name, but I do not feel threatened by Mormons and I certainly don't hate them!
Not agreeing with a religion, finding the beliefs and practices odd, does not equal hate. That's quite a leap.
And I don't know how long you've been here, but over the years there have been some pretty radical and shall we say over zealous postings by Mormons et al that turned off a lot of FReepers.
Let's just say there's a "history"....
His wife's body has yet to be found.
My name is Josh Powell and I am a mormon
Josh Powell Tried to Kill Sons With Hatchet Before Fatal Explosion
I would whole hardily agree radical stuff about mormonism has been posted in the Religion Forum about mormonism.
You are aware this radical stuff comes directly from their (lds) own words and history, are you not?
I certainly didn't mean to imply that. I just noticed that you posted of your experiences with two Mormons; one devout, one not and I thought I'd chime in that my experiences have been the same.
And I dont know how long youve been here, but over the years there have been some pretty radical and shall we say over zealous postings by Mormons et al that turned off a lot of FReepers.
Lets just say theres a history....
I've been here for some time and while I rarely participate on the religion forums, it's my observation on the other forums that the hatred towards Mormonism seems to be one-way, and has grown stronger since Romney has become the presumptive Republican nominee.
Mitt also can't help but show his "superior" side which comes from the ingrained mormon belief that they are better than others because they have the "one and only true church" and others are doomed if they don't convert, whether alive or dead.
You can see it in some FReeper mormons who can't help but condescend.
Yes, display as in producing good fruit. We will know a Christian by their fruit. Maybe some should display the good fruit and not the rotting fruit on the branches.of our life.
Yes, display as in producing good fruit. We will know a Christian by their fruit.
Scripture from the Christian Bible for that please dear...
Thank you TN, but I feel better assembling outside the doors of the church. Yes, it was bad and I called it quits. But thank you for your concern. By the way, I have no problem with Christians as many of my friends are and attend. I don't like judging others spirituality...especially if they claim to love Christ and have displayed the fruits of the spirit. But, once the fingers start pointing, I have a need to remind of the ol speck/beam scripture.
Matthew 7:16
What about "Matthew 7:16" ???
If you learned to read with Dick & Jane, thrilled by the magnificent horse illustrations in the "Black Stallion", remember Elsie the Cow, fell in love with the playful Texaco Dalmatian Pups, or know Elmer, the trademark on Elmer's Glue, then you know of Keith Ward's work.
Ward a renowned impressionist, was the gifted illustrator who painted those enduring images on the American consciousness. Like Norman Rockwell, Keith Ward is part of our "Americana"; illustrating for so many magazines and advertisements, such as "Boy's Life", "Outdoor Life", Phillips 66, Bordon Dairy Co., U.S. Steel (and many others). For more than 50 years Keith Ward has been part of our lives.
Now noted for his impressionistic "easel" paintings of landscapes and portraits, Ward thinks illustration is a good background for the fine artist. "[Illustration] teaches you how to paint in a number of different styles and how to paint different subjects," he noted. Ward's work has indeed covered a great deal of subjects - from paintings of seascapes to still lifes, landscapes to Western motifs.
His latter works were more concerned with the appearance of light on objects then with detail. His mastery of structure and color relationships, his quick and vivid perception of the essence of his subject matter are the touchstones of his success. His own comment about his work, however is simple: "I have fun. There is that inner spark of excitement with each painting. I cannot imagine myself as being bored!"
Ward died in Florida on March 23, 2000.
I feel like we're playing who's on first.
Remember post 385:
"Yes, display as in producing good fruit. We will know a Christian by their fruit.
Scripture from the Christian Bible for that please dear..."
well, to answer your question about what scripture: I answered it with Matthew 7:16.
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
John 15:1-8
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
Helpful material being posted on this thread. Thank God.
The sectarian elitism and devotion to a particular church as if it were almost God, and constant promotion of their One True Church® , and knee-jerk reaction that rejects out of hand anything that impugns it, is not restricted to Mormonism.
And whenever mortals presume supreme authority higher than Scripture then the souls as well as the bodes of men are in danger.
What do you have on the Utah War besides what the censored WP article has?
Mormons are now patriotic, but fighting against the US army was a result of the quest for a "Momonocracy" it seems.
Matthew 7:16
- - - - -
You may want to re-read that. Jesus is talking about FALSE PROPHETS, not the fruit of believers. "By their fruit" you will know false prophets.
And the 'fruit' of Joseph Smith is rotten indeed.
Point out one "hateful" post on this thread...
Elsewise, please reconsider your generic accusations @ all kinds of people.
Shotgun generic accusations is itself a form of slander.
Actually Catholicism is more about Grace than works, in theology.
And at least Catholics believe in the same God and Christ. Mormons do not.
Mormons teach AGAINST a personal relationship with Christ. Did you know that? It is anathema to them. It is stupidity to them. They make fun of Christians who believe that. I can source that using their OWN sources if you would like.
Like I said, rather than defend something you have ZERO clue on, pay attention to those of us who have been there and why we left. Defend non-Christians if you wish, but don't pretend Mormons are Christians because they are not. Their own theology does not allow for it.
Yes, and there are those in the Christian church who will say to Christ they healed in his name, they did everything the bible asked of them ....and Jesus will say go away. I never knew you. This not about JS, LSD, or self proclaimed Christians. This is about knowing Christ. Not you nor I can judge someone's heart relationship with Christ.
Not you nor I can judge someones heart relationship with Christ.
- - - -
I can (and must as a Christian) judge their theology and teachings and if they follow (and preach) a false Christ. And Mormons do.
Again, before you stoop to defending them, you may actually want to learn what I had to find out first hand as a member of the Mormon church.
It is a pack of lies that preys on others and lies to outsiders. Mormonism is demonic to the core. Again, been there done that and PRAISE GOD He saved me out of it.
Can a false Christ save you?
Is this November about electing a soul savior?
Worldview matters and thus religion matters. Mitt's religion teaches him and encourages him to lie to get what he wants.
Mitt and Obama are the same politically and no much different religiously.
I know far too much about Mormonism to ever vote for one. I'm voting Constitution party. It would be contrary to both my conservative beliefs and my faith to vote for Mitt and I hate Obama just as much.
Besides, HT, you have been here long enough to know the the Flying Inmans have been doing this long before Romney. This isn't about Romney at all, this is about the truth about the Mormon cult.

Honors grants available for full-time or part-time unpaid research or internship experiences!
Research and Internships
University Honors students who are engaged in unpaid research or internships can apply for honors grants to support their work. To apply for a grant for your research or internship experience, submit an honors experiential learning project proposal in the appropriate thematic area. In the budget section of the proposal, indicate that the position is unpaid and list the dates and number of hours per week you will be working.
Keep these additional aspects in mind as you complete and submit your proposal:
- Indicate whether it is full-time or part-time. If it is part-time, indicate the number of hours per week.
- Include the dates during which you will be engaging in research or working at the internship.
- Include a statement from the research supervisor or internship provider that indicates you've been accepted and that the work is unpaid.
- Internships must be related to one of the UHP thematic areas.
- Proposals are accepted according to the same deadlines as any honors experiential learning project.
- Students who are receiving academic credit are eligible for grants.
Categories include:
- full-time research
- part-time research (can be throughout the academic year)
- full-time summer internship
- part-time internship (can be throughout the academic year)
Grants will be awarded in amounts ranging from $100 - $2000. The amount awarded will vary, depending on the hours worked and quality of proposal.
It is crucial that you read the information in the "Important Notice about Grant Eligibility, Timing of Grant Awards and Financial Aid" section of the honors grants webpage, to ensure that you are aware of how and when grants are awarded and how your individual financial aid status could impact your eligibility. For example, grants can only be posted to a student's account during a term in which a student is enrolled full time (12 or more credits). This requirement could delay the receipt of grant funds. Please read everything on the honors grants webpage.
If a research or internship experience is paid, students should still submit a proposal for it to count as an honors experience. Paid experiences can be honors experiences (including co-op).

Apparently, what used to be a foundation for a small house is now part of our backyard. The house is long gone, but the concrete foundation has been there for as long as anyone can remember. Is there a species of tree that I can plant on or near the foundation to purposely break it? Time is not a concern.
You could plant a large, broadleaved tree (Oak for instance) near the foundation, but I wouldn't advise planting it on top. Over the years, the roots may, or may not, advance sufficiently to crack the foundation that's there, but equally, they may choose to spread in a different direction. The other consideration is how close the obsolete foundation is to your own, current residence - if it means planting a large tree such as an oak within 50 feet of that, I wouldn't recommend it, for you will be putting the foundations of your own house at risk.

The winners of the 2015 Joe Shuster Awards, which honor Canadian comics creators, were announced Sunday in London Ontario, at the Forest City Comic Con. The awards are named after Superman co-creator Joe Shuster.
The winners are:
Welcome to Store Tour, ROBOT 6's weekly exploration of comics shops, and the people who run them; think of it as the retailer version of Shelf Porn. Each Sunday we feature a different store, and also get to know the person behind the register.

For this week's store, we take our first leave of North America to discover England's Page 45, 9 Market St., in Nottingham. We spoke with co-owner Jonathan Rigby.
Oni Press has revealed Bryan Lee O'Malley's variant cover for the first issue of Kaijumax, the comic by Zander Cannon (Heck) about an island prison for giant monsters.
The acclaimed creator of Scott Pilgrim and Seconds, O'Malley draws some of the island's inmates in a chibi form so adorable you wished the comic had its own line of collectible plush toys. In front is protagonist Electrogor, whose only desire is to escape and return to his hungry and frightened children. On his right is Hellmoth, the tattooed nod to Mothman, who's sure to be a favorite.
[Editor's note: Each Sunday, Robot 6 contributors discuss the best in comics from the last seven days — from news and announcements to a great comic that came out to something cool creators or fans have done.]
ComiXology has a "Leading Ladies" sale this weekend that features some great titles from Oni Press with strong female leads: Anthony Johnson's The Coldest City, a thriller set in Berlin at the end of the Cold War; Spell Checkers, a comedy by Jamie Rich, Nicholas Hitori De, and Joelle Jones, about three teenage witches with attitude; and Ross Campbell's Wet Moon. There's a lot to like but there are two titles in the mix that are real standouts, and you can get them both for less than $10 if you grab them before the sale ends at 11 p.m. Eastern today.
Both are stories that are about teenagers but aren't really for teenagers, because the main action in each of them is the sort of thing that is clearer in retrospect than when you are going through it.
Ivy, by Sarah Oleksyk, describes one of the great disappointments of youth, finding out that someone you care about is not all you imagined him to be. Ivy is a high school student who is chafing at the confines of her small Maine town and her strict single mother, who is determined that Ivy will have a better life than she had. Ivy wants to be an artist, and on a trip to Boston she meets a guy who introduces her to a whole new way of looking at things. Continue Reading »
Sometime today, as is its habit, Mondo will announce the online pre-sale of four limited-edition posters, available exclusively to attendees of the inaugural MondoCon held this weekend in Austin.
The posters, featuring the art of Mike Mignola, Bryan Lee O'Malley, Daniel Danger and Rob Jones/Ken Taylor, will be screen-printed live at the convention by Industry Print Shop. That's two on Saturday (Mignola and Jones/Taylor) and two on Sunday (O'Malley and Danger); only those with the corresponding MondoCon wristband will be permitted to pick up the posters for the day. There will be no refunds or cancellations, and no shipping from the show.
Conventions | Attendance at the second annual Salt Lake Comic Con was estimated at between 120,000 and 130,000, putting it on a par with the big shows like Comic-Con International in San Diego and New York Comic Con. Even better, Stan Lee proclaimed it "the greatest comic con in the world" (but he probably says that to all the shows). [The Salt Lake Tribune]
Conventions | The scale of the first Las Cruces [New Mexico] Comic Con was considerably smaller, with expected attendance of 3,000 to 5,000, but organizers were pleased with the event, which featured a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament, a Comic Strip Burlesque show, and appearances by Jim Steranko, Power Rangers stuntman Jason Ybarra, and the 1966 Batmobile. [Las Cruces Sun-News]
Mondo has announced the complete lineup for the inaugural MondoCon, the Sept. 20-21 event in Austin, Texas, celebrating film, music, art and toys. And it turns out the participation of artists Geof Darrow, Francesco Francavilla, Jock, Mike Mignola and Bernie Wrightson is only the tip of the comics presence.
There's the world premiere of Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD, a documentary celebrating 35 years of the influential comics anthology (watch the trailer below); a "Designing Movies" panel, with Darrow, Jock, Mignola, Wrightson and others discussing their film work; and "Geof Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy," which includes a presentation of eight minutes of never-before-seen animation from an uproduced adaptation of his comic.
Crime | The comics community of Kirkcaldy, Scotland, just north of Edinburgh, has rallied around a local comics shop after thieves broke in two weeks ago and stole cash, a computer, a two-and-a-half-foot-tall Darth Vader figure and a copy of New Mutants #98 (the first appearance of Deadpool), with a total value of more than £500 (about $835 U.S.). It could have been worse: The thieves left some comics boxed up, ready to go, but apparently they were interrupted. But you won't believe what happened next: Kingdom Comics owner Andrew Magee says customers donated their own comics and DVDs to help rebuild his stock, and a number of local artists have donated art to be auctioned off to help the store. [The Courier]
Creators | Bryan Lee O'Malley discusses his new graphic novel Seconds, and how it reflects where he is in his life. [BoingBoing]
Publishing | Seconds, by Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley, had an impressive debut, landing at No. 2 and No. 5 on the BookScan chart of graphic novels sold in the book channel in July. The book had a standard edition and a Barnes & Nobles exclusive. ICv2 reckons if there had been a single edition, Seconds would have topped the list; instead, the No. 1 spot went to the latest volume of Naruto. It was also a good month for DC Comics, which charted seven titles, six of which involve Batman.[ICv2]
Publishing | In an overview of the comics and graphic novel market, ICv2 reports direct market retailers are optimistic despite flat sales in the first half of the year. [ICv2]
Editorial cartoons | The public-relations consultant hired by the city of Murrieta, California, after residents protested the arrival of refugee children to be processed there, told cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz that referring to Murietta as "Hate City USA" was "actionable." "There IS a fine line between your constitutional right to draw cartoons and expressed (sic) your opinions," Hermosillo wrote in a comment on Alcaraz's Facebook page, "and falsely, deliberately, and maliciously labeling and attacking an entire community as racist or as 'Hate City.' You are working overtime to damage Murrieta and such a false premise is actionable. There's a fine line between humor and stupidity. You may have crossed that line at your own peril." Murrieta spokesperson Kim Davidson walked that back, however, saying the city has no plans to sue Alcaraz. [The Press Enterprise]
Publishing | Archie Comics Co-CEO Jon Goldwater responds to Singapore's ban of the third volume of Life With Archie, which features the wedding of Kevin Keller and Clay Walker: "Riverdale will always be about acceptance, equality and safety. I'm sad readers in Singapore will miss out on the chance to read such a pivotal moment in comics." [The Hollywood Reporter]
Business | Devin Leonard looks at the possible effects of a Fox/Time-Warner merger on superhero movies; Time-Warner owns DC Entertainment, and Fox has the movie rights to some Marvel characters. The New York Times offers a broader overview. [Business Week]
Publishing | John Jackson Miller mines the circulation statements provided once a year to put together a 54-year sales history of Archie Comics' flagship title Archie (the publisher is one of the few that still prints annual statements of ownership, allowing the numbers to be traced back, unbroken, to 1960). As he points out, Archie was a big newsstand title, selling almost 600,000 copies in the late 1960s, but it didn't fare well when comics moved to the direct market — although Archie Comics has done well nonetheless with its digests, which far outsell its single-issue comics. [Comichron]
Publishing | Annie Koyama of Koyama Press talks with Dan Berry about how comics publishing works, and how she got into the field. [Make It Then Tell Everybody]
The British Library has debuted a trailer — a "Curators' Introduction" — to promote "Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the U.K.," the largest comics exhibition to date in the United Kingdom.
Opening Friday to the public, "Comics Unmasked" spans the history of British comic books, from the 19th century to the present, exploring how they've addressed such subjects as violence, sexuality and drugs while breaking boundaries. The exhibition kicks off with a screening of the documentary Graphic Novel Man: The Comics of Bryan Talbot, followed by a conversation with Bryan Talbot, Mary Talbot and Kate Charlesworth.
Death, taxes and new comics. Those are just a few things we can expect in the New Year (not YOUR death necessarily, just death in general). Anyway, lots of comics will be published this year. Here are six I'm really looking forward to and that I think you should be excited about as well. Feel free to disagree with me in the comments.
1. Seconds by Bryan Lee O'Malley (Random House). A bit of an obvious choice perhaps. Still, whether you loved Scott Pilgrim or hated it to tiny, tiny pieces, there's little doubt that O'Malley's big follow-up to his uber-successful and much ballyhooed series is going to draw a lot of attention from all corners of comics fandom. There's a lot of people curious about this book, about which little is known other than it takes place in a restaurant. Count me among them.
2. Arsene Schrauwen by Olivier Schrauwen (Fantagraphics). Is Olivier Schrauwen one of the most amazing, inventive and original cartoonists to come along in decades? Well, duh. If you've read The Man Who Grew His Beard, My Boy or perhaps the initial chapter of this (I'm assuming) invented tale of the author's grandfather, you know how creative and fearless he can be. This might well be the book I'm most looking forward to this year.
Following the conclusion this week of Kieron Gillen and Jame McKelvie's run on Young Avengers with Issue 15, the writer turns to his blog to break down the comics that influenced the well-regarded series. And a couple of them may surprise you.
Grant Morrison is well-represented on the list, with We3, Kill Your Boyfriend and The Invisibles, and so is Peter Milligan. But Gillen also gives a shout-out to the 1970s oeuvre of the late Steve Gerber.
"Just have a wander through it. Howard the Duck, obv, but also his Defenders – a parallel I picked up when reading Colin TBTABC talk about it," Gillen writes. "I'm not the biggest 70s connoisseur, so my knowledge is piecemeal, but his approach to superhero comics was something that resonated in the back of my head when writing Young Avengers, in terms of thinking of people who were absolutely mainstream while doing things that I wanted to do. Trollingly calling an arc STYLE > SUBSTANCE could have only been more of a Gerber move if I called it ON THE NOSE or something."
There's more at the blog, including a funny nod to one of Gillen and McKelvie's previous collaborations.

Keep in mind that this is NOT an expansion pack. It's a STUFF pack. This means it's just...well...stuff for your sims. It's funiture and decorations and stuff like that. Also keep in mind, and this is very important, that if you use custom content that you downloaded from fan sites, you might need to check those sites again and see if the stuff you downloaded has UPDATED versions. When I installed this Stuff Pack, it patched the game. So alot of my custom content didn't work and caused glitches for the game. But the stuff pack itself doesn't have any glitches. it had a lot of nice stuff, especially hot tubs. It's new stuff focuses on outdoor activities. If you love sims, then definitely buy this.
The Sims 3 Outdoor Living Stuff is pretty much exactly what you will expect from a "stuff pack". It comes with a few cool features, such as hot tubs and some new fashions that really aren't too bad. I enjoyed looking at the new electronics and the few other basic items available in buy mode. The price is fair considering it's just a stuff pack, but this isn't a must have add on to the game. Being an avid Simmer, I purchased it to round out my collection. Leave no stone unturned, as they say. It's an okay stuff pack, and I would say buy it if you want some flashy things to put in your backyard.
I love the lounge chairs, and the awesome outdoor fridge, I also love the waterfall like hot tub, and I love the outdoor fireplace. The only thing that would make the game better, is if you make the seasons again, that way the outdoor fireplace would look awesome while it's either raining or snowing.
happy with the stuff it included it made a difference in the game
as soon as i go to a house(in the game) it crashes to desktop no warning no nothing.I wasted 20 bucks on this game.my Pc should run this game good its the game not my pc.I dont like paying for something that dont work .
Great game plus it arrived sooner then I thought it would.

spoiler:The dual Spidey/Goblin tag team at the end was AMAZING!!! O_O
spoiler:Venom was everything I had expected. I only wish he had had a bigger part, but then again, all he's good for is web-slinging action, and that would probably get pretty repetitious after a while.
spoiler:I was on the edge of my seat with my mouth open the whole time through about the last 20 minutes, including that bit with the Harry/Spidey duo. I like Harry now that he became friends with Peter again, so it makes me a little mad/sad that he died, but I guess it worked.
spoiler: Harry died at the end. It would have been too Disney/cliched to keep him alive. Topher Grace was good. The sequence with pete getting fat was boring. the movie took a nosedive in fun level after Pete broke it off with mary jane and came back up for air with the venom and bell ringing action
spoiler:I wonder if the director was trying to make Parker look like an emo half-way through...
spoiler:At the beginning I was liking it but when he looked in that reflection and very cheesily made his hair emo from there it went downhill, until the last battle which was amazing. I really thought they could have done more with venom. He was a very short-lived character for probably Spider-man's greatest nemesis in the comics. I thought the Sandman was OK and I was glad to see Harry come to the rescue at the end. Overall when asked what I thought I said "meh" because of how cheesy it was at times. My favorite cheesy part was when Peter started jumping around the diner with Gwen, how bad was that? Something like that would never happen.
spoiler:Yes, I realize that several parts and lines in the movie did seem over the top and cheesy, but for me, it kind of reminded me that these are comic book characters we are dealing with. And I'll admit, I haven't read many of the original Spiderman comics, and those that I did read I read ages ago, but several parts, including the part where Peter brushed his hair down and the Jazz bar dance scene just seemed, for me, to pay homage to the occasionally over-the-top comic book genre. Bug meh, I'm probably the only one who thinks this way...
spoiler: emo parker and also with the collapsing building floor. Why didn't Spider-Man save the other two people sliding off the floor? If you watched carefully you would have noticed two more people sliding off the floor.
spoiler: Dont forget the Professor also still has a sample of the symbiote!
spoiler:Since it was crammed, it felt like the first half of the movie was also very disjointed, jumping from one scene to another and then to another story and then another story. also, why the hell did the butler wait so long to tell Harry the truth? He seems to know a lot about what really goes on, and knew of Harry's hatred for Spider-man because of his father's death. The whole revelation seemed way to random, like he just walks in, goes "Oh yeah, Spider-Man didn't kill your father. cheerio!"
Also, I felt there wasn't enough scenes with Spider-Man in it. There was a lot of Peter, but mainly the only scenes with Spider-Man were for big fights with other villians. He didn't even round up a couple of small-time criminals or anything. Also the ending seemed a bit out of place. Usually they end the spidey movies with Spider-Man swinging through the city, but this one just ended with him dancing with Mary Jane. I was also hoping for a "We are Venom" or something like that from Eddie, but he didn't really say anything like that.
spoiler: The whole movie is bad if you ask me... Too much going on and not well explained enough.
The whole Emo-Peter was weird...
For those that didn't knew Venom still don't know his name cuz he never said it. Harry being Peter friend again?! And that butler scene?!!! man.. I can't believe they did that...
It's really like X-Men 3 again.

We all loved it. I didn't even tell my non-veg husband and kids that it was made with tofu because they would have been suspicious. The taste is like a creamy pink sauce but lighter. I used 1 lb. of silken lite tofu and added a bit more vinegar that called for. Served it over ziti with a nice big salad. Thanks Prose. This is sure to become a staple!!
Maybe not outstanding, IMO, but definitely quite tasty and satisfying. Good way to work a little more protein into your pasta! And my little brother liked it, which is always a plus. Thanks!
Surprisingly good! I tried it because it was so easy and nutritious, but was surprised at how tasty it was. Used low-fat tofu and a Classico marinara in the jar. My immersion blender worked perfectly for blending the tofu mixture. I used the vodka, and penne instead of spaghetti = Penne with Vodka Sauce. Thank you for sharing, Prose!

Proof-theoretical notions and techniques, developed on the basis of sentential/symbolic representations of formal proofs, are applied to Euler diagrams. A translation of an Euler diagrammatic system into a natural deduction system is given, and the soundness and faithfulness of the translation are proved. Some consequences of the translation are discussed in view of the notion of free ride, which is mainly discussed in the literature of cognitive science as an account of inferential efficacy of diagrams. The translation enables us to formalize and analyze free ride in terms of proof theory. The notion of normal form of Euler diagrammatic proofs is investigated, and a normalization theorem is proved. Some consequences of the theorem are further discussed: in particular, an analysis of the structure of normal diagrammatic proofs; a diagrammatic counterpart of the usual subformula property; and a characterization of diagrammatic proofs compared with natural deduction proofs.

You always do beautiful work but this is breath taking! I much prefer a diffused line like this. On me personally I feel the crisp line is aging. I do like the sort of retro-thick winged eyeliner look from time to time, but for everyday looks I find the smudged line to be more casual somehow. There's something so smoldering about this look!

I love smudgy liner but usually take a shortcut by using a very creamy kohl type pencil or just lining with a dense/creamy powder. Maybe going back to fill in any gaps by tightlining and smudging upwards slightly.The Driveller Katehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

In interesting tidbit was revealed in an LA Weekly article on Madlib, suggesting the producer may have beats on Kanye West's Good Ass Job LP. The paragraph reads as follows:
There's no such thing as a casual Madlib fan, with a rabid cult consuming anything he releases. It's not all great, but it's always interesting. And while he may not have as many fans as Kanye West, he has Kanye West for a fan, with the Chicago rapper/producer putting five Madlib beats on hold for his new album. Of course, he won't reveal this unless you accidentally lean into his backless chair and nearly tumble to the floor. Then he will laugh, tell you that "Kanye West did the same thing," and motion to zip his lips before you can ask for elaboration

Again, my mother's cooking prevails. With a culinary education and restaurant experience, sometimes I can get carried away in technique and making complicated foods. Mom makes this wonderful, simple recipe that's always present at our holiday tables. Being the health nut of the family, I keep this dish close to me for seconds. Guests love it too, and are often surprised there is no creamy dressing. You'll have to try it for yourself to see how delicious it is. It's best to make the salad the day before so it can marinate overnight and become really flavorful. Best of all, the salad lasts at least a week because of the vinegar in it, and makes a great snack or topping for fish tacos — it seems to get better as it sits.
Cabbage often is overlooked as a cruciferous vegetable, but it is both delicious and has many health benefits. It has been reported that compounds in cabbage aid in eliminating toxins from the body and assist in protecting it from cancer. That's something to celebrate!

Standard Chartered's Michael Rees Paid as Much as $13.4 Million
Standard Chartered Plc's Mike Rees, head of corporate banking, may be paid as much as $13.4 million for 2011, the highest-compensated director on the board.
The total includes $1.12 million in salary and deferred shares of $6 million, the London-based company said in its annual report published today. The package amounts to a 5 percent drop from his $14.1 million package for 2010.
Rees's division contributes about three-quarters of the lender's profit and includes investment banking activities such as equities, and mergers and advisory services. His variable pay dropped as profit growth for his division "was not as strong as 2010," the bank said.
Standard Chartered, the U.K.'s second-largest bank by market value, said it plans to hire as many as 2,600 employees after posting its eighth straight year of record earnings on growth in corporate and consumer lending. Net income rose to $4.85 billion in 2011 from $4.33 billion a year earlier, the bank said on Feb. 29.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Sands may receive total pay of as much as $8.1 million, up 3.5 percent from 2010, the bank said. The bank's five highest-paid employees got $42.1 million for 2011, the company said.

What is in this article?:
- Tiny wasp could stop stink bug
- Aggressive tracking strategy
- Researchers are looking to a non-pesticide solution for the stink bug threat: a tiny wasp imported from China.
Aggressive tracking strategy
"It's more of a list of what it doesn't eat than what it does feed on," said Vaughn Walton, an entomologist at OSU. "Identifying where the bug is found is an ongoing effort. Unfortunately, it has been detected in many of Oregon's major agricultural areas and the populations are increasing. It looks like it could be a problem soon in some areas based on populations we found in 2012."
OSU researchers are using this field data to plot an even more aggressive tracking strategy for 2013. In the meantime, Oregonians can assist the effort by reporting sightings.
"A lot of the finds we've made the past few seasons are because of the public chipping in," said Nik Wiman, a postdoctoral scientist at OSU's research center in Hermiston, who is studying the insect. "Without it, we would not have as good a picture of how the bug has distributed through the state."
In the winter, the brown marmorated stink bug seeks shelter indoors, often in attics, garages and dark, moist places. It can be confused with other insects, so the OSU Extension Service has published a two-page guide for the public on how to distinguish it from look-alikes at bit.ly/102dyIw. The document is also in Spanish at bit.ly/S9oHbB. More information on the bug is at bit.ly/Va0m7N.
OSU is one of 11 institutions researching the brown marmorated stink bug in an effort funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Oregon Hazelnut Commission and the Oregon Wine Board. OSU graduate student Chris Hedstrom has also contributed to the project.

Garden State is a 2004 film written, directed by and starring Zach Braff, with Natalie Portman, Peter Sarsgaard and co-starring Sir Ian Holm. The film centers on Andrew Largeman (Braff), a 26-year-old actor/waiter who has been living in a catatonic emotional state. Since he was ten, he has been kept on at least one form of the drug lithium. After receiving a phone call from his dad, with whom he has not spoken in a long time, Andrew returns to his hometown in New Jersey upon finding out his paraplegic mother drowned in the bath. Visiting the place where he grew up, he soon meets Sam (Portman), the girl that brings him out of his shell. The title alludes both to the nickname for New Jersey and to lines from Andrew Marvell's poem "The Garden" ("Such was that happy garden-state,/ While man there walked without a mate").It was filmed over 25 days in April and May 2003 and released on July 28, 2004. The main setting and primary shooting location was New Jersey. It was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival. The film won Best First Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards. The film contains many allusions to the similar coming-of-age film The Graduate (1967), most notably the opening airplane scene that both pictures share.Garden State was well received, and is considered a major success for Scrubs actor Zach Braff, as it was his feature film debut as a director. Lacking the publicity machine of most mainstream Hollywood films, it generated a devoted fan base from people who read and responded to Braff's blog on the film's official site. Fans drove hours to see the film and saw it repeatedly in theaters. The film also spawned a popular soundtrack for which Braff, who picked the music himself, won a Grammy award.
This film provides examples of:
- Abusive Parents: Andrew's father tries to destroy his mind with unnecessary psychiatric drugs as punishment for accidentally crippling his mother.
- Alone in a Crowd: Largeman is spaced out on the couch while the rest of the party is a Binge Montage going on all around him.
- Later he and Sam talk to each other at the other end of the pool while everyone else is swimming.
- Apologises a Lot: Sam tends to apologize for her quirks or anything really in fear of freaking Andrew out. He even mocks her for this at one point.
- Bathtub Bonding: Andrew and Sam, albeit without water in the tub.
- Big Damn Kiss
- Black Comedy: Definitely. Some of the darkest, squickiest clips were cut from the theatrical release, but they're available on the DVD.
- Boy Meets Girl
- Candlelit Bath
- Clifftop Caterwauling: One of the most well known scenes of the film has Andrew, Sam and Mark climbing on an abandoned crane and scream into a chasm.
- Cool Bike: Largeman's WWII bike and sidecar.
- Double Meaning Title: It can refer to a popular nickname for New Jersey, or to the emotionless, static state of Large's life since he went on his medication.
- Dream Sequence: Opens with one.
- DVD Commentary
- Dysfunctional Family
- Emotionless Guy: Andrew Largeman. He gradually opens up during the course of the film because he's finally off his psychiatric medications and because he meets Sam.
- Fanservice: The pool scene with multiple girls (including Sam) swimming around in their underwear.
- Follow the Leader: It spawned a lot of terrible and not so terrible imitators, so now when you describe it, it sounds awful. One of the reasons for its severe case of Seinfeld Is Unfunny.
- The Fun in Funeral: A mild example.
- Gilligan Cut: In the rain.
- Inventor of the Mundane: One of Zach Braff's friends invented "silent velcro" and became a multi-millionaire. He now spends his time driving golf-carts around his mansion.
- It Always Rains at Funerals: It was actually raining the day of the shoot, but they had trouble getting the rain to show up on the film.
- Joisey: The title is a nickname.
- Leaving You to Find Myself: Andrew's explanation why he has to leave Sam at the end.
- Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Sam. Certainly not the Ur-Example, but one of the most famous examples.
- Meet Cute: Sam and Andrew at the doctor's office. A dog is humping his leg and Andrew asks what he should do. Sam tells him to kick the dog in the balls.
- Nerds Speak Klingon:Mark is displeased to see that his mother has a new boyfriend, Tim. It doesnt help that he wears knight armour and speaks Klingon. The best part is that Tim was played by Jim Parsons, a.k.a. Sheldon.Mark's Mom: Don't be shy, Tim, tell them what you said to me last night.
Tim: No...
Mark: Tell us what you said to her last night!
Tim: (Speaks Klingon)
Mark: You have got to be kidding me.
Mark's Mom: It means "I like to mate after battle."
Tim: That isn't what I said.
Mark's Mom: Yeah...
Tim: NO, that isn't the one I said! This one means "Kill Kirk".... and also, "hallelujah", depending on the context...
- Nice Guy: Andrew Largeman.
- Redemption in the Rain
- Romantic Comedy
- Rule of Funny: Large's argument with the customer at the restaurant probably wouldn't come up in Real Life. Vietnamese restaurants are actually far more likely to serve bread than most other Asian restaurants; Vietnam was a protectorate of France for over a century, so its cuisine has a very strong French slant, and baguettes are frequently eaten there.
- Shout-Out: To The Graduate, but to plenty of other things as well.
- Spin the Bottle
- Spiritual Successor: If Garden State went one state over, it would be called Adventureland.
- Now Braff is now working on a proper Spiritual Successor called Wish I Was Here
- Tomboyish Name: Sam.
- Wallpaper Camouflage: Andrew's new shirt which has the same pattern as the bathroom wallpaper.
- Wrongfully Attributed: An in-universe half-example, there's a scene where Andrew's friend Jesse mentions Brave New World and attributes it to Aldous Huxtable rather than Huxley.

By Angela Williams, Army Flier Staff WriterApril 18, 2012
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (April 19, 2012) -- The sun was shining and the skies were clear as Disney music played on the loudspeakers and Families waited together for the start of the Pinwheels for Prevention Family Fun Run/Walk. Some parents pushed strollers or held the hand of a toddler in tennis shoes while others led older children in stretches before beginning the run.
More than 200 people participated in the April 14 event that was planned as a way to "celebrate children and the Families while promoting strong Family bonds and raising awareness of child abuse prevention," said Luticia Trimble-Smith, Fort Rucker Family Advocacy Program Manager for Army Community Service.
To further promote that cause, Fort Rucker Elementary School student ambassadors passed out pinwheels -- the symbol of child abuse prevention -- to participants as they crossed the finish line. The school's art class made 100 pinwheels for the event, according to Vicki Gilmer, the school's principal.
Also in attendance was garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Dwaine E. Walters, who awarded medals to all children under the age of 16. Walters, the student ambassadors and other volunteers crowded around the finish line to cheer on the participants they completed a half-mile, 1-mile or 2-mile course.
Parents walked behind some of the younger children, clapping and cheering them on as they crossed the finish line. "It's your first race! Good job!" they said.
Capt. Christopher Kidder and his daughter, Katie Nelson, completed the half-mile run together and were the first across the finish line. The father-daughter team had not run together before, but Kidder said he thought it would be a good way to introduce Katie to running.
Others joined in for the "fun and fitness" and to "support a good cause." Maj. Steve Conrad and his Family were among them. Conrad and his oldest daughter, Nyah, 11, planned to run the 2-mile course together while his wife, Yolanda, and daughter, Stevie Naree, 4, tried the 1-mile.
Marcos Arias, retired military, who registered for the 1-mile course with his daughter, Cristina, and his wife, Marlen, also wanted to support the cause saying, "Protecting children should be our No. 1 priority."
This event "is for Families to do together. This is about prevention. Families who play together stay together," said Twanna Johnson, FAP training specialist, adding that she hoped the run/walk would give Families an activity to take beyond April.

To the Editor.—
The article, "Diuretic Agents: Inciting Factor in Nonocclusive Mesenteric Infarction?" (229: 1451, 1974), by John B. Sharefkin, MD, and William Silen, MD, describes three cases of nonocclusive mesenteric infarctions following diuretic and digitalis therapy and suggests hypovolemia, diuretic-induced, together with vasospasm, possibly digitalis-induced, as the mechanism for the infarction. Although some hypovolemia seems to have occurred, the slight elevation in blood urea nitrogen level of two of the patients renders the hypovolemia theory not too impressive.Another more likely explanation may be the hypothesis forwarded by Alexander Leaf, MD,1,2 suggesting cell swelling as the possible cause of nonocclusive infarcts. The cell swelling is caused by potassium efflux coupled with sodium chloride and water influx across the cellular semipermeable membrane, and thus interference with cell metabolism and possibly impingement on micro-circulation. The current knowledge of the mechanisms of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent active sodium-potassium transport involving the specific

Mod Cup
The Mod Cup is a trophy in the sport of shinty first competed for in 1969, traditionally played for by the two teams who are based closest to the host venue of the Royal National Mod. The current holders are Oban Camanachd.
The Cup is presented by the Aviemore branch of An Comunn Gaidhealach as part of the week-long Mod as a celebration of shinty's links with Scottish Gaelic. The trophy originally had a lid which has been lost. The first running of the cup was in 1969 as the Mod was held in Aviemore and the two closest sides were the sport's historic giants, Kingussie and Newtonmore. Newtonmore won the first running of the cup 5-2[1] and to this day the Mod Cup is perhaps the one trophy that the club is eligible to compete for that Kingussie has never won.
Over the years, the Mod has been held in towns without shinty teams which has resulted in teams being imported (Stornoway Mods in the 1980s, when Beauly Shinty Club and Skye Camanachd or in areas with a plethora of shinty teams, such as the Lochaber Mod 2007 when a select Lochaber East Side played Lochaber West in Ardnamurchan. The expansion of shinty into areas where it had previously not been played for a long time means that there should be teams from that locale competing for the trophy in future. This was the case with the Caithness Mod in 2010[2] and the Western Isles Mod in 2011.
The 2004 fixture was played between Tayforth and Edinburgh East Lothian, at South Inch, Perth. The 2008 fixture was to be competed for between Aberdour Shinty Club and Glasgow Mid-Argyll at Little Kerse, Grangemouth as part of the Mod in Falkirk. However, the fixture was rained off.
The 2009 fixture was played between Lochside Rovers and Oban Celtic at Mossfield Park, Oban on 10 October 2009[3] as part of a normal league fixture which Lochside won. The Cup provides many smaller teams with an opportunity to win national silverware.
The 2010 fixture between Caithness and Sutherland was an historic game as it was the most northerly official shinty game ever played. Caithness won 3-1.[4]
The 2011 final was played in Uist, and was contested between Uist and Lewis, with Lewis gaining revenge over their 2005 conquerors, winning 2-0.
