Skip to comments.[Laura Schlessinger] Dr. Laura Renounces Jewish Orthodoxy
Posted on 08/15/2003 5:10:35 PM PDT by Destro
click here to read article
If you meant no venom, I apologize. We Jews do tend to be (understandably) touchy.
Judaism is a complete religion, but you are fully entitled to have another belief system if you wish to. As I stated, Jews are not taught to be arrogant about their religion, merely to practice it. That's why we don't seek to convert.
Never mind that you have no business presuming you can judge the spiritual condition of someone else.
This article was posted to engender debate. It's about religion. As I stated, I found Dr. Laura to be hypocrital and preachy long before this, I am entitled to my opinon. :)
Don't like it, don't read it.
An atheist libertarian (who is also part Jewish) told me that Spinoza said that there can be more than one chosen people, and that even if someone is chosen, they might only be chosen for a specific task at a specific period in history. I thought that was an interesting perspective.
BTW, isn't Lilith the first wife of Adam? Where does that come from? I don't think it's in the Bible.
FWIW, the New Agers take the opposite tact. They say that God is one, in that he is in everything, as in "I am God." So if you were to praise Zeus, or yourself, or the sun, you're really praising God, since he's in everything. Pantheism, I think it's called.
Schlessinger began her program last Tuesday by noting that, prior to each broadcast, she spends an hour reading faxes from fans and listeners. "By and large the faxes from Christians have been very loving, very supportive," she said. "From my own religion, I have either gotten nothing, which is 99% of it, or two of the nastiest letters I have gotten in a long time. I guess that's my point I don't get much back. Not much warmth coming back."
Your interpretation of what she said is different from mine. Unless you're psychic, she's talking about faxes and letters from her fans, saying "[b]y and large the faxes from Christians have been very loving, very supportive" but faxes from members of her own religion are described this way" "I have either gotten nothing, which is 99% of it, or two of the nastiest letters I have gotten in a long time. I guess that's my point I don't get much back. Not much warmth coming back."
Pets!? Pets!? I wasn't thinking of keeping them for pets! Pets are a lot of trouble--you have to feed them, exercise them, take them to the vet, groom them, etc. ad infinitum. Dogs and horses are enough in that department, thanks. No, I was thinking of keeping the Canadians as slaves, for goodness' sake. How do they work out as field hands and house slaves? Any good?
Only if one sets oneself up as a paragon of virtue, which Dr. Laura did, all the while making exceptions for herself regarding rules she imperiously dictated to others. Her religious conversion to Judaism was obviously shallow and made for the wrong reasons, *as will the next one be*, as she searches for something that will bring her the EGO gratification she appears to so desperately require.
"I felt that I was putting out a tremendous amount toward that mission, that end, and not feeling return, not feeling connected, not feeling that inspired. Trust me, I've talked to rabbis, I've read, I've prayed, I've agonized and I came to this place anyway (emphasis mine)..."
Quite a difference from your assumption that she just read a few emails, that and her faith was so shallow, she changed it based on the emails alone. You are making quite an accusation with such flimsy evidence as a tiny snippet from an article.
Do you really think that is fair? I don't.
I pretty much share your take on Dr. Laura. She really did preach a good game, but I'm shocked at the words she chose to defend her disavowal of Judasim. FEELINGS? I mean, really.
Nobody can count the number of hapless callers who began their on-air plea for help w/her, lamenting that they weren't feeling good about such and such, only to be lambasted by her telling them that she wasn't interested in their feelings, as feelings were transitory, and not substantive enough to base a decision on.
And while I don't want to too harshly judger her on the occurrence w/her mother, it is shocking that she could have remained deceased for so long without anyone in the family knowing about it. She has counseled even children who were abused, and whose Mothers enabled the abuse to continue by their living in denial, to make sure that their parents had the basics that were necessary for life. Talk about not passing the smell test!
I remember her saying once that the Torah taught that just because something was true, that was not license to verbalize it. Yet she seemed to take such relish in calling women SLUT! And that's what it was that was always so off-putting about her, she seemed to so enjoy meting out the lashes. That's what made her on-air personality so objectionable to me, and to many others I would guess.
Any historical guilt, as irrational as that concept is, must be born by the heirs to the Roman empire or the Syrian mercenaries if anybody must.
She's actually NOT Jewish. To be Jewish her mother must be Jewish. Her mother is Catholic.
Or something like that.
Including, as I've (unfortunately) seen in photos circulating around the web, strip.
Hardly anyone, other than someone who wants to get married....and my guess is that they cross their fingers when doing it, convert to Judaism. You have a true religion, just not a complete one. Truth is truth.....it's not meant to offend.
So WHO do you think US, and "OUR" meant...as in OUR Likeness? It's Jesus he was talking about.
"With all due respect" what incredible arrogance and bigotry. It's clear you have no idea what Judaism is about. Though Judaism does not seek converts, many people in fact, do convert to Judaism. Without any evangelizing from members of the Jewish faith.
Just one example, though I should not even bother to respond to your absurd post.
Lessons About Judaism Result in Conversion
On June 19, 1998, I converted to Judaism, ending 31 years of spiritual wandering and starting another wonderful journey that will take me the rest of my life to complete, if it ever truly is complete.
The conversion process was wonderful and magical! I had the opportunity to actively open up a whole new world for myself, to explore my thoughts and feelings on many issues and finally find peace with myself. What brought me here? Why did I choose Judaism? Well, read on.
I was born a Protestant Christian. Until about sixth or seventh grade, I believed strongly that Jesus was the Messiah. As I got older, however, I found that I could not accept the divinity of Jesus, or that believing "incorrectly" would send someone to Hell. I had started my break with Christianity. Over time I learned a little about many belief systems, but none fit. I felt lost and lonely and outside. This began to change when I met my fiancee, Ali. My conversion to Judaism was not a condition of our marriage, for which I feel blessed, but she wanted to have a Jewish home and raise Jewish children. Since I didn't have any attachment to a particular faith, I agreed and started to learn something about Judaism so I could be a good husband and father. But I had no intention of converting.
In spring 1997, I spent my first Passover Seder with Ali's family. It was interesting. It impressed me that the emphasis was not completely on the Exodus from Egypt. Resisting oppression and fighting injustice on behalf of all humanity was heavily emphasized.
I thought, "Hey. Now here's a religion that believes in doing something and making a difference!" Later that year, I joined her and her family for High Holy Day services. The High Holy Days are Rosh Hashanah (the New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), a joyous-somber mix in which you celebrate having lived another year, reflect on your conduct in the past year and atone for your misdeeds.
Two things touched me deeply. The first was that I felt completely comfortable and at home in the synagogue from the moment I walked in. This was someplace that was safe, peaceful, warm and welcoming. No church had made me feel this way in a long time. ---snip---
I was deeply impressed that in Judaism we are empowered, with God's help, to overcome our own sins. There is no taint of any "original sin," and we are not inherently evil. Rather, we are inclined to both good and evil, and it is very much up to us which path we choose. We are ultimately responsible for our own actions. We can't put them off on anyone or anything else.
In fact, according to Jewish teaching, God will not forgive you for a sin against another person until you have first sincerely sought forgiveness from the wronged party. Talk about making you mindful of how you treat others!
In late 1997, I started taking formal classes on Judaism. I still had no conscious intent to convert. My only goal was to learn as much as I could for Ali and for our future family. But I quickly realized that I had found my way into a group of people who valued critical intellectual examination. There is no one required belief about God, God's nature or our relationship with God. There is also no one view of, or preoccupation with, what comes after the death of our physical bodies. Jewish tradition supports ideas ranging from a classical heaven, to reincarnation, to anything in between. Suddenly all of my questions about religion, which had been very unappreciated in Christianity, were very much appreciated. In fact, the one who questions is respected far more than the one who just goes along for the ride.
Finally, I was impressed with the Jewish emphasis on making this world a better place, on focusing on our roles and responsibility here and now, in this life known as tikkun olam, "repairing the world." Helping those in need is an obligation. In April 1998, I participated in an event at my synagogue called Mitzvah Day. There was a huge turnout, and we split up into teams to go do various things. Some went to help repair homes for the poor, some worked in a food bank and shelter for the homeless. I helped an older couple with yard and housework. As a Jew, I feel that I am finally able to do concrete, meaningful things to make a positive difference. I never really knew how I could do this before. It wasn't until I was involved with my synagogue that I had help with this.
Whatever path you follow, and wherever it takes you, I pray that you find all the happiness, contentment and peace that I have found with Judaism. B'Shalom go in peace.
This illustrates not only some of the meaning of Judaism, but the utter lack of arrogance with which Jews practice their faith.
However, in modern Feminist literature, she has gone from Demon to heroin.
. http://www.lilitu.com/lilith/
She has also been inspiration for a leftist feminist re-interpretation of the Bible. http://www.lilithinstitute.com/
Individuals killed Christ. It's as irrational to say "the Romans" killed Christ as to say "the Jews" killed Christ. Individuals of various ethnicities participated, but they remained individuals.
I don't think most modern Jews accept that (except when they don't want to consider someone they're ashamed of to be Jewish, like Dr. Laura). I've met any number of Jews in NY and LA, the liberal modern sort, who regard themselves as Jewish or half-Jewish irrespective of which parent is Jewish.
BTW, what reason for this rule? A talk radio caller, after discovering her own Jewish roots, claimed to have studied the issue. She said the rule exists because in ancient and medieval times, rape was common. Tribes and warriors would routinely raid each others' villages. So because rape was so common, it was often impossible to tell who the father was, but if you had a Jewish mother, you were certainly at least part Jewish.
Don't know if it's true, but it's an interesting theory.
So WHO do you think US, and "OUR" meant...as in OUR Likeness? It's Jesus he was talking about.
I've heard various other theories:
(1) God was using the "royal we." Monarchs often refer to themselves in the plural. For instance, speaking solely for herself, a queen might say, "We are not amused."
(2) God was speaking to the animals. Man is made in the image of BOTH God and beast. Man has a beastly nature, but a divine spark which allows him to know it, and choose to rise above it.
(3) God was an ancient astronaut, and was speaking to his fellow UFO flight mates.
It's only been in recent history that Jews have been given the benefit of the doubt in this regard.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, Sabertooth, it's only because you deny history. The Inquisition and the Holocost were justified by attributing Jesus's death to the Jews.
Let's look again at your original statement at #84, as I quoted it...
"She chose Judaism even though most Christians "know" that Jews killed Christ.
The word you chose was "know," which is the present tense.
Here's the greater context of that sentence, in the paragraph in which it originally appeared...Dr. Laura chose the Jewish religion while working in a Christian nation. She chose Judaism even though most Christians "know" that Jews killed Christ. That took moral courage. Her choice of Judism demonstrates that she uses neither political nor monetary considerations in her search for truth.
Clearly, you weren't referring to the Historical errors of various Christian denominations in the past, you were attempting to describe the attitudes of present day Christians, falsely stating that "most Christians "know" that Jews killed Christ," at the time of Dr. Laura's quite recent conversion to Jewish orthodoxy. Your misattribution of anti-Semitism to present-day Christians was offensive.
Can you say H*Y*P*O*C*R*I*T*E?
At this point I have more respect for J-Lo. She never pretended to be religious.
I thought I'd do it for you, since I noticed the omission, and am sure you wouldn't want the taint of plagiarism hanging over one of your posts.
She sure had real deep religious convictions.

HTC Takes to Times Square as Black Friday Nears
When Samsung Electronics launched its Galaxy S4 smartphone in New York in March, HTC had tried to steal a bit of the thunder by promoting its handsets nearby.
Now Samsung's Taiwanese rival is aiming for center stage itself.
HTC has taken its latest marketing campaign to Times Square, where it set up an interactive billboard on Monday as part of a contest to win a free 24-karat gold-plated HTC One, its flagship smartphone. The photos that participants send in will be shown on the big screen, and the two that get the most votes will win the phones, a company spokeswoman said.
The display is part of HTC's efforts to improve its marketing and brand recognition, an area the company has admitted has been a weak spot. HTC also recruited Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr. of Ironman fame for an ad campaign this year. Chief Marketing Officer Ben Ho said earlier this year that the company was investing more in marketing. The company declined to say how much the Times Square display cost.
The gold smartphone promotion coincides with a big Black Friday discount that HTC is giving on its flagship smartphone, the HTC One. In the "doorbuster" sale on Friday and Saturday, customers can get a 32 gigabyte HTC One for $29.99 with a plan from Sprint or Verizon. For the rest of this week and next week, the phone is for sale at a discounted $49.99.
During its peak in 2011, HTC was the leading smartphone maker in the U.S. Since then, the company has seen a steep slide as it lost market share to fast-growing rivals like Samsung and Chinese low-cost smartphone makers. HTC posted its first quarterly loss this fall. The company needs the marketing initiative, especially in the U.S. where it has fallen behind rivals Samsung and Apple.
Other electronics makers are also gearing up for massive sales for Black Friday. Other deals include the iPhone 5S for $189 and the iPhone 5C for $45 with a contract at Wal-Mart, and the Kindle Fire HD 7 for $99 from Best Buy.

By Capt. Orlando Craig, 1-395th Engineer Battalion, 479th Field Artillery Brigade, Division WestApril 29, 2013
FORT HOOD, Texas --Soldiers, Families and friends of 1-395th Engineer Battalion, Viper Battalion, 479th Field Artillery Brigade, Division West, recently gathered at the West Fort Hood Physical Fitness Center to participate in a fun-filled day of physical activity at the unit's first Zumbathon Health Fair and Car Show.
"This is an opportunity for those participating to enhance their physical fitness while doing something fun and challenging," said Lt. Col. Kip Korth, commander of the 1-395th Engineer Battalion.
More than 100 participants from the greater Fort Hood area were instructed by Terry Flemings, who led more than four hours of Zumba routines that were both challenging and engaging.
"Our goal was to make this event educational, beneficial and fun for participates of all ages. Zumba does not discriminate. Any age, race, gender, sex and disability can enjoy Zumba, as there is no necessary dance experience or special skill level required," Flemings said. "By joining this event, people had the chance to experience what we do to obtain an excellent, fun-filled workout that provides fundamental training relating to your health and fitness needs."
During breaks, the Zumbathoners could enjoy looking at more than 20 classic and modern vehicles brought to the car show by members of the Mid-Texas Corvette Club, Central Texas Camaro Coalition and the battalion.
At the health fair, participants could also speak with representatives from Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center about topics such as nutrition, smoking cessation, biofeedback, and physical and occupational therapy.
"This was an excellent opportunity for everyone to have fun while checking their health," said Staff Sgt. Candance Thomas, a medic assigned to 1-395th Engineer Battalion. "The key to fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is finding an activity that fits you and that you enjoy. I have been doing Zumba for a number of years now, and I always see peoples' bodies and minds transform for the better."

Other Notes:
- Average inch loss is 3 to 4" IN TOTAL for people of a size 12 or more, it tends to be about 2" for a Size 8-10, some ladies lose around 6" and two ladies have lost 8". The product continues to work for 72 hrs after your appointment so you an remeasure or try on clothes that were tight before your wrap.
- People with highly sensitive skin on their body will require a patch test 24-48 hrs prior to the treatment.
- If you have psoriasis, eczema etc you will be fine to have the treatment as long as your skin is not cracked and weeping. The oil plus the wrap is like a "hot oil treatment" for your body so is conditioning for the skin.
- People who are on progesterone or thyroid medication may have the treatment but the results may not be as effective
- SOME people who swell up in the heat may TEMPORARILY SWELL due to the heated blanket and the body wrap film. If this happens where time permits we will wait for you to cool down before remeasuring you.
- Avoid bathing or swimming for at least 12 hrs after your treatment

- We encourage you to remeasure at home the morning after your treatment whlst you still have the little pen marks we put on your body. We will also give you a copy of your measurements so that you can check for any further inch loss. You can also choose 1 or 2 items of clothing which you know are tight on you as a way of gauging your inch loss or take before and after photos to monitor results including inch loss and positive changes to your skin tone.
- Any fat lost as a result of the treatment will only be maintained if you either reduce your calorie intake and/or increase the amount of calories you burn by exercising more. It is the same principle as dieting.
- Continue to drink min 2 litres of water for 72 hrs after your body wrap and also light exercise (brisk walking, jogging, swimming etc) is also advisable as this will increase the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled from your body (see below)
- What happens to the Fat Loss? When somebody loses 10 kg of fat (triglyceride), 8.4 kg is exhaled as CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). Lungs are therefore the primary excretory organ for weight loss. The remaining 1.6 kilograms becomes water, which is excreted in urine, faeces, sweat, breath, tears, and other bodily fluids.

Shrinking Violet Body Wraps covers the areas of the body from the bust, if necessary bingo wings down to the tummy, hips, buttocks and thighs. If you want to avoid losing fat on an area (e.g bums, bust) that is fine, the product won't be applied to those areas.
First of all your body will be measured. We will put temporary marker dots on your body so that we and you can remeasure (at home) on exactly the same area. Then your skin will be dry exfoliated to remove any dead skin cells, then the Shrinking Violet Botanical Oil is applied. Then you are then wrapped in body wrap film (like cling film), a cocoon of towels with a heated blanket underneath you (the heat helps to open the pores so that the product can get into your system) afterwhich you can relax for 60 mins whilst the product does its fat burning work! At the end of the treatment you will be remeasured.
Shrinking Violet is a highly popular, revolutionary pain free treatment that actually breaks down fat (lipolysis) in the body resulting in both fat and inch loss. It is suitable for everybody, we have seen equally good results on women of all shapes and sizes with most inch loss around areas where there is most fat, which tends to be tums, hips and thighs.
How Does it work?
The active ingredient is Hydrolysed Lecithin/Lysolecithin (derived from soya) which changes the permeability of the fat cell wall and allows intra-cellular fat to be broken down, released and excreted via the lungs (as carbon dioxide) and water via other excretory mechanisms.
It is a powerful technique that can shrink waistlines by up to 2 inches in one session. It is not a water loss treatment, we actually advise clients to drink more water to aid the treatment process.
The amount of fat reduction varies depending on your build and metabolism but immediate results can be seen. The product continues to work for 72 hrs after your treatment at which point you will see the maximum effect for that particular session.
We encourage customers to remeasure themselves at home so if need be buy a tape measure to enable you to do so. We will give you a copy of your measurements at the end of your treatment of if it's mobile you can write them down.
If you are at the start of your journey to lose body fat and inches we advise a course of 6 weekly treatments combined with a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water and regular exercise.
Shrinking Violet will release fat but will not firm or tone loose muscle which exercise will do. **Once the fat is gone it is gone and will only come back if you make new fat. The treatment will not last very long if you return to previous lifestyle choices e.g consuming excess calories through food or alcohol, not burning enough calories due to a lack of physical activity** If you would like to download a FREE NHS 12 Week Diet and Exercise Plan please click here (external site and PDF Reader required) or vist the NHS Weight Loss pages
For a maintenance plan following a 6 week course we advise a treatment every 3 to 6 months plus healthy, calorie restricted diet including lots of water and regular exercise.
Which ingredients are in the Shrinking Violet product?
Hydrolysed Lecithin (Soya derived), Grapeseed and Jojoba Oils, Cypress, Juniper and Lavender
Summary of Benefits:
- Fat and Inch Loss - a great kick start treatment to use in conjuction with a "new body/new you" healthy reduced calorie diet and exercise program and also great for those who have reached a weight loss plateau
- Great "quick fix" treatment for special outfit events e.g weddings, holidays, pre and post christmas, birthdays and other special occasions
- Purifies and Moisturises the Skin as the product is a botanical oil containing detoxifying essential oils
- Brightens dull skin through the process of exfoliation
- May improve the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, scars and blemishes

Parrish has been sidelined in recent weeks with a thigh problem and will be assessed ahead of the trip to Underhill.
The Shrimps are enjoying a rich vein of form, winning five of their past eight matches, but goalkeeper Barry Roche believes the struggling Bees will provide them with a stern test.
He told Press Association Sport: "It's always tough when you go to Barnet, no matter what position they are in the league, it's always a tough place to go.
"We've seen that over recent years where we've had a couple of really good battles with them.
"They're in desperate need of the points so it's a good game and a game we're all looking forward to."
Forward Jordan Burrow is pushing for inclusion after bagging a brace during Morecambe's 2-0 reserve win over Tranmere in midweek.

My son, Stephen, the swimming instructor sent me this article where I'm featured in this April 2014 Swimming Times 🙂
A link to the document is here
My son, Stephen, the swimming instructor sent me this article where I'm featured in this April 2014 Swimming Times 🙂
A link to the document is here
I seem to be getting more popular! but just look at the folks who are searching for Scarpa boots wearing out and the Silva pedometer are they connected 🙂
Today was an earlish start to get the first ferry across the Megong River which starts after 7 🙂
By the time I had breakfast at The Riverside Guest House Cafe and whinged about Room 1 and it's tap that won't turn off and the shower that is a dribble, I started to run late made worse by the crowded market & the banana seller with yellow ones been stuck in the middle. I finally made it & fortunate to get one with just two huge trucks. The crossing reminded me of my Danube trip although this river is nearly 2 miles wide.
I followed Oliver's instructions & took the dirt road to the right passing the sign that proudly proclaims the new road was made possible with an investment from Steung Treng Mineral Joint Venture Company which begs the question what did they get in exchange..
The new road is deserted and quite bumpy due to its coarse tar & chipping coating plus you can only use half the road as the other half is deep in loose chip pings. Of course the few cars using it are all Top Gear viewers and treat it as a race track. Make sure you look away as you get blasted by high velocity chippings. Closer to Krong it's still under construction so you enter almighty dust clouds.
The wholesale forest destruction is much worse here in fact around 95% of the wood is gone, just endless vistas of burnt out forest. The insanity of just burning standing timber is beyond me, meanwhile folks are building shacks from gorgeous hardwoods. Nothing is been planted in the vast majority of the burnt out mess.
The day was long, over 83 miles, and very hot to Preah Viher I managed to drink well over 4 litres of pop with barely a pee. With the heat I could barely keep awake so found an old workman's shelter and had a snooze.
Later, when trying to read Gaia, I found I had lost my spectacles. I and an army of kids tried to find them but I bet they fell off in my snooze which was 10 miles back. To cap it off my spare set are useless for distance vision
There is plenty of accommodation in Preah Viher but I unfortunately chose the worst The Chea Somoun 🙁 but it's only one night! Venturing out I chose the right restaurant though 🙂 because as I started the usual ordering antics with the waitress, a young women dashed over asked what I wanted in perfect English & proceeded to order my food! Len it turns out is showing a group around the indigenous tribes & obviously well up on the land rights issues as well as schooling, which is markedly less over here witness the kids doing the laundry by the village pump. Whereas, in Vietnam all you see are school kids. Real shame that she had to dash off with her group as it would have been good to learn more.
Tomorrow looks another long hard day to get to Siem Reap for Angkor Wat
I've now been away for 23 days in SE Asia. Cycling for 15 of them and covering, according to Strava, 1.016 miles with an ascent of 33,843 feet and 841.5 hours in the saddle. I've covered about 1/3 of the total distance to Singapore! So I've awarded myself a total rest day here in Stung Treng before taking the ferry across the mighty Mekong River to Angkor Wat, Bangkok and down the peninsula to Singapore. Although quite how I'm going to manage in this heat is anyones guess. Today's puzzles are: how can a bike mechanic stay so immaculately dressed in cream trousers and pale shirt whilst fixing my puncture, I was covered in grease just by watching him at work 🙁 Another puzzle is how the guys running The Riverside restaurant & guesthouse (where I moved to this morning) manage it seemingly with no effort, whereas others guest house owners make it all seem so much work! So with the puncture fixed, pedals sorted, handlebar tape fixed & more tape on the saddle plus a visit hairdressers today for a cut & shave for £1. I'm ready to start again. But must buy more water 🙂

I contacted them the day of the exam and they assured me not to worry about a thing. After the test ended I didnt see the grade posted so I called again. They told me it must just be loading. I contacted them again the next day and they nonchalantly said the tutor must have forgotten to take it and sorry but they have a no refund policy. They told me that they would give me a 20% off coupon for the final. They must be CRAZY!!! These people are sinners!

Texas history buffs can thank a bureaucrat who dared to stretch his authority to the limit for a publication that presents a uniquely clear picture of life in the Lone Star State in the waning years of the 19th century.
The bureaucrat was Lafayette Lumpkin Foster, head of the Department of Agriculture, Insurance, Statistics and History when he brought out the "First Annual Report of the Agricultural Bureau" for the years 1887-1888. Now reprinted by the Texas State Historical Association, the report is called "Forgotten Texas Census: First Annual Report of the Agricultural Bureau." From now on, scholars and appreciators of history will be savoring and profiting by its insight on its times.
An introduction by Barbara J. Rozek, a Ph.D. from Rice University, puts the report in historic context. Out of print for more than 110 years until a delighted historian opened a quaint volume found on a shelf of the North Texas State University Library, the book has been issued by the Texas State Historical Association as part of its Fred H. and Ella Mae Moore series of reprinted editions. At $29.95, it is a bargain that belongs in the libraries of all readers who profess an interest in the Texas past.
These readers can thank Commissioner Foster, later president of Texas A&M, for the foresight and imagination that widened scope of the census to include information on such matters as racial makeup of the population. People counters in Texas also reported on what men and women earned for such jobs as school teaching, as well as the pay for other labor in a largely agricultural economy. The reader can find out how many marriages and divorces occurred in 1887 in Texas counties as well as crop and mineral production and other statistics.
Most Texas Panhandle counties were still unorganized in 1887, and readers in this area will have no trouble finding data of uncommon regional interest. We learn, for example, that Wheeler County recorded 15 marriages and one divorce in 1887 and had a total population of 560, not much more than the count of 512 in 1880. Wheeler, among the three oldest Panhandle counties (the others were Donley and Oldham), had what the report described as "very little farming and that only in connection with stock raising." The population included 20 merchants, five lawyers, and two physicians. There was one private bank, and churches included Methodist (Northern and Southern divisions) and Presbyterian. Improved land in the county sold for prices ranging from $3 to $10 an acre for improved land while unimproved land could be had for $1 to $3 an acre.
The population included 422 "American" and 30 "colored," together with five English, 34 German, 25 Irish, 10 Mexicans, seven Swedes, seven Scots, and 10 "others."
As noted, the Texas census was ahead of its time in taking note of ethnicity, a condition not addressed by the U.S. Census with respect to Hispanics until well into the 20th century.
In addition to the county tallies - some of the information presented in the form of tables - Foster and his small staff also compiled statistics on elections, state institutions, and county and state officials, including a list of governors dating back to 1691.
Most of the economic statistics were compiled from figures gathered by county tax assessors, who probably encountered most of the public opposition to the project from citizens who were reluctant to part with economic information they feared might result in higher taxes.
According to Foster's own "prefatory remarks" introducing the first edition of the census, the state paid $54,370.43 on the project while "counties in the aggregate paid an equal sum, making the total cost to the State and counties $108,740.86." Minuscule by present standards, the expense loomed large in fiscal thinking of the 1880s; and it was not just the amount that drew opposition from the public.
While almost everyone seemed to agree with the proposition that Texas needed more immigrants "from everywhere," there was a wide gap between goals and support for the theory that government should pay to market the state to newcomers. So while the report was admired when it came out and while it undoubtedly helped give many would-be emigrants a realistic picture of conditions in the Lone Star State, publication of similar yearly reports did not become a tradition.
Shortened versions, with much of the material lifted from the first annual report, continued to be published a few years. Then the practice was expressly forbidden by act of the Legislature. Though no mention is made in this book, supporters may have decided to leave publication of such material to the railroads which, by the 1890s, had become major promoters of land sales on the last frontier.
Meanwhile, Texans continue to profit from the devotion and knowledge of an able bureaucrat named Lafayette Lumpkin Foster - a name worth remembering for more than one reason.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
The salesperson made it clear that if I didn't like the results I would simply not have to renew.
Apparently, I was sent a receipt (which I later found in my spam file) that STATED (not asked) that I would be charged for an automatic renewel if I did call to terminate. Of course, I explained to Trulia that had I known anything about this that it would have gone into my calendars so that I would not miss the date. I knew NOTHING of this. The service was not worth a penny, either.
I expressed to the Manager in billing (the 4th person I spoke with) that a "notification of being charged a renewel is not an agreement -- it is simply a one-sided wish and by charging me without my permission or even knowledge they had committed a crime. [continued below]....
I would love to join a class action if one gets started and am glad for a venue to warn Realtors around the country. Can I report a crime? I will now call my credit card company.

(c) Finishing the bulk of the new studio album
(d) All of the above

Some great music news again this spring with a finalist placing in the 2014 Australian Songwriters Association Contest with Every Sunrise (ballad category). Remember to purchase your copy of Every Sunrise online (set your price) with all donations going to cancer research and treatment.
Winter 2014
It's time again to hibernate down south, and I know where I'll be. Sometimes it seems the closer you get to the end (in my case the completed second studio album), the further away it appears, such is the building anticipation. Only one song left to record…plus an A4 sheet full of edits!
May 2014

After a couple of months away from the studio, we're back into it this month picking up from where we left off in November. A bit more mixing, a bit more mastering…and laying down plans for the remaining album tracks.

This month sees a break from the recording studio while Peter Mac is abroad enjoying haggis and French wine (probably not together). Meanwhile, the days start warming up and my spring-summer schedule starts taking shape with inclusion in the Sustainable Living Festival (9 – 10 Nov), Taste of Tasmania (28 Dec – 3 Jan) and Cygnet Folk Festival (10 – 12 Jan). See Show Dates for more info.
August 2013

July 2013
Mid-winter entertainment at MONA continues this month with MoFolk, live & local acoustic folk music every Saturday afternoon from 1-3pm – I'm performing on the 13th in the Void Bar. You beauty.

After 2 years in the making, this month sees the release of 'Step By Step', a song about cultural togetherness and sustainable living.
The music video features stunning footage through all types of terrain – from the vast and endless Kazakh steppe to the relentless heat of the Uzbek summer, to the high altitude mountain passes of Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic, to the frozen wastelands of the Taklamakan desert in winter.
A film by The Amadis Project with footage courtesy of Steppe By Steppe:
April 2013
Work in the recording studio this month sees the near-completion of 'Seedling', a song for my daughter, inspired by those first few weeks of new fatherhood…

Now available for purchase online, 'Every Sunrise' also features renowned jazz / soul / folk musician Mia Palencia (vocals, guitar). Proceeds from sales of the song are being donated to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre: a major centre for cancer treatment, research and education in Australia.

of our UK undergraduate students are in employment or further study within six months of completing their studies
(according to the 2014/15 DLHE survey)
You'll join a friendly community of almost 19,000 staff and students
The UK specialises in attracting visitors through its contemporary creative, heritage and service industries and events are at the heart of this business. A growing number of events globally, including festivals, conferences, sporting events and the 2012 Olympics, have created a demand for qualified events professionals.
The campus is at the centre of this historic, exciting destination and the programme capitalises on the opportunity to link tourism and events in the context of the thriving local arts industry including a newly opened theatre and concert venue, art gallery and museum. In addition to the annual calendar of local conference, sports and cultural events, students have the opportunity to get involved with the month-long Canterbury Festival.
Work experience and volunteering opportunities are offered by a variety of our partners, including Canterbury City Council, the Marlowe Theatre, on campus within our 'Events Crew' team and in the busy Conference and Music and Performing Arts Departments. With approximately 6.3 million visitors a year and an internationally famous cathedral, which has World Heritage status, Canterbury is the ideal place to take an Events Management degree.
Whether students want to plan weddings or organise music festivals, many events are staged in tourism attractions and require managing accommodation and travel, therefore the programme examines the links to tourism. There is no formal placement, but a Vocational Experience module enables students to stage an event for a client. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of the many volunteering opportunities offered by national and local creative industry partners, for example Canterbury Festival, or the Isle of Wight Festival.
In the first year, the emphasis is placed on a broad introductory understanding of the subject including subjects such as the event experience, tourism management, crisis management marketing and finance and the economic and socio-cultural impacts of events.
Year 2 involves the organisation of events, centred on the process of pitching and delivering two student events as part of two core modules, Events Operational Staging and Vocational Experience for Events, while groupwork, project management and policy underpin the development of skills. A guest speaker programme provides valuable insights into event law, outdoor events, events environments and the project lifecycle, including health and safety, risk management, insurance and crowd control issues.
In Year 3, internationalism, events in the developing world, globalisation, and the highly topical discussion of the nature of mega-events, such as the Olympics are highlighted, as are topics such as services management, marketing and heritage and creative industries management.
This degree is highly relevant to the creative industries, including arts, sports, music and conference management, enhancing the range of employment opportunities available to graduates. The degree is delivered alongside tourism, leisure and sports management related programmes to enable students to capitalise on the breadth of expertise and research available.
Our staff have direct experience of staging international events, working in venues such as the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden and have published in fields such as Olympism. Events Management also has close links with the Department of Music and Performing Arts, in particular the Performing Arts degree, and also the Business School.
Connections to national bodies such as the Association for Event Management Education also mean that evolving industry issues such as the transformative effect of the Arts, audience development and sustainability are addressed within the degree. Events graduates have won places on national graduate placement schemes and gone on to jobs working in public and private sector events management in companies and conference venue management; 90% of events graduates have found work or study within six months of graduation.
In addition to the listed humanities combinations, it is possible to study Events Studies with Film, Radio and Television as a Location Management pathway, involving a skillset emphasising place, which prepares students for the particular challenges of managing film sets and staging outdoor events.

Man pleads guilty in Jefferson City murder
Justin Beasley pleaded guilty for the death of Andre Hudson in Jefferson City
One of the men accused of a 2012 Jefferson City murder admits to his role in the killing. Justin Beasley, 21, officially pleaded guilty on Wednesday. He admits he was with Calvin Hutson during an an attempted drug deal back in December.
According to court documents, the two never intended to give Andre Hudson the drugs. Instead, they were going to rob him. Police said they met in Beasley's car and shots were exchanged leaving Andre Hudson dead in the back seat. Police arrested both Beasley and Hutson within 24 hours of the murder.
Prosecutors originally charged Beasley with murder, robbery, and armed criminal action. He faced life in prison. The plea deal he agreed to with the prosecutor means he will spend 10 years behind bars. He has to serve at least 85 percent of it before being eligible for parole.
Beasley was the one behind the wheel when the murder happened. After the shots were exchanged in the back seat of the car, he got out and took off. He turned himself in to police the next day and told them everything that happened inside the car.
There was hardly any talking inside the courtroom about the actual case. Cole County prosecutor Mark Richardson wasn't able to talk about the case much because the pending case against Hutson. He was asked if this plea deal had anything to do with Hutson's case.
"I believe our list of endorsed witnesses is a full set of witnesses. We always end up adding witnesses as cases move closer to trial," Richardson said.
The next court date for Hutson is scheduled for November. He still does not have a trial date scheduled yet.

I smelled of it to see if there was any medication smell and there was none. I tried to call the company for 3 weeks someone told me to hold and never came back. I had high hopes that this product would help me and all it did was make me more depressed. I have read some of the rebuttals from the company and if this was a legitment business it would not write back telling them that there customers were Idiots and Dumb asses that to me shows there otherside.
Then they turn this over to a collection agent the name Monterey Finanicial they called with rude coments and threats. My husband found Rip Off Report.com and the first thing that he saw was this company and the financial company. For these people, the Attorney Generals Office is been contacted,and don't fool around with peoples lives with a bunch of item's that don't work, after all being over weight and giving them hope is a very sick joke.

The Doctor was working on weight distribution and fork settings during the Barcelona and Motorland Aragon tests, and says he can now brake deeper into corners. It may also help with the early-race problems he has been having with a full fuel tank.
"I am very happy about the test in Aragon and I'm looking forward to going to Assen. The settings that we tested were positive and now I feel more feeling with the bike, especially when braking. For me it is an important step and I really want to try the new setup in another track," said Rossi.
"I hope that this improvement will help me also to get a better starting position as it is so important to make the best qualification possible. Assen is a great track, I love it and it brings to mind a lot of good memories. We'll try to leave this good feeling with the track and the bike to improve our results."

Business Travelers Heart Historic Hotels (like The Peabody Memphis)
The travel trend these days for business executives? Checking into historic hotels. After hefty renovations, these hotels have become destinations in and of themselves. And industry experts cite this category as a better-performing niche. Case in point: The Peabody in Memphis, famous for its parade of ducks at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. through the lobby. After a makeover a few years ago, the hotel sports ultra-luxurious rooms, an indoor pool and athletic club, and wireless access in-room-- not an easy feat for many landmark hotels which require rewiring for that 21st century amenity. What's the draw to the historic hotels like The Peabody and Manhattan's legendary Plaza? These hotels are distinctive, luxurious, and offer a sense of place, as explained by a spokesperson for the 210-member Historic Hotels of America.

The Signature at MGM Grand Wins
February 5, 2008
By: Courtney W. May
TripAdvisor.com has officially chosen The Signature at MGM Grand in Las Vegas as the No. 1 "Best Luxury Hotel in the U.S." The TripAdvisor's 2008 Travelers' Choice Awards also recognized The Signature among the "Top 100 Best Luxury Hotels in the World" and the "Best Hotels in the World's 25 Most Popular Destinations." What makes the win so interesting is that the Signature does not offer a casino, is non-smoking only, and all-suites - no standard rooms here. While it is true guests can still use the MGM Grand for gambling and smoking, by booking the Signature, they get to enjoy a gated entrance and suites with balconies.
Note Bene: At 550 square feet, the MGM Signature Junior Suites are big on style and are the most basic, standard room category.
