Continuous pee-ing
We are very frustrated with house-training Bella, now 5 months old. She pees and poops when we take her out, and we take her out frequently, and always wait until she goes before taking her back in the house, and reward her outside, but she just keeps pee-ing in the house, often only a few minutes after being outside. And then again and again, often less than half an hour later. It really seems like more is coming out than is going in. Someone suggested we take up the newspaper because we had initially been praising her for going on the paper, so we did that, but then she just pees on the tile floor. If we put the paper down again, she pees on the paper. Should we stop putting paper down altogether and shout at her if we catch her pee-ing inside? Also, we aren't shouting at her if we catch her pooping inside, because we're trying to stop her eating her poop (tried everything suggested and nothing worked) and we're afraid if we shout at her, she'll just work faster to "hide" the evidence. But maybe it's time to start reprimanding her for pee-ing and pooping in the house? Any suggestions?

First thing I would do is take a urine sample to the vet if you have not done so yet. It almost sounds like she has a urinary infection. My female beagles tend to get them more than my males did. If she is not sick, then yes, I would pick up the papers and clean that area with a special cleaner just for pet urine. If she still goes there don't make a HUGE deal about it but correct her and take her right out and say "pp outside" or whatever term you use.

If there is no urinary infection you can expect this for awhile longer as puppies have small bladders. I was pretty much at my wits end like you. At 9 months (YES I SAID 9 MONTHS) she suddenly consistently peed only outside. I do have one thing in my favor is that she has free access to the patio and can come and go as needed. She will stop playing and run outsie to pee and poop. It takes a lot of patience but it will happen. The most frustrating thing is when you read "how to house break your puppy in one week"...yaaaah riiiight! I can't tell you how many rolls of paper towels I went through. we had stacks of paper towels in the garage-my husband thought I was nuts and said we have enough for a flood--well he was right...lol
One thing I did was use a clicker each time she peed and pooped outside with a tiny treat..no treat when done inside. make sure you clean the pee scent with something like nature's miracle or vinegar and water (nothing that contains amonia

I agree with Cheryl. A vet check is definitely in order to rule out a UTI. Definitely pick up the newspapers. That is confusing to Bella. I adopted my puppy from a shelter in October. He was about 4 months old. I'd like to say he is housebroken, but every time I think he is, he has an accident. It has been about 2 weeks, since his last accident, so fingers crossed.
"Boh" had been adopted out and returned to the shelter, before I adopted him. Apparently, his previous owner attempted to paper train him. Not knowing that, I put paper in his crate. He would actually go into his crate to pee. OOPS. No more paper.
When I can't watch Boh, he is confined to his crate, which is in the kitchen. When I am sitting here, I leave his crate open and he has access to the tiled kitchen. I have a baby gate blocking access to the rest of the house. He has three bowel movements a day - morning, after breakfast, and after dinner. I keep him on a leash to go potty - even in the yard. He is learning to go in his designated area. I am able to make sure he goes and clean up quickly.
Is Bella being confined to a small area? She should have very limited access inside the home. You can tether her to you, so she is always by your side. If she starts to go potty inside, you can say, "no" and take her outside quickly. When she goes outside....Praise, praise, praise. Reprimanding Belle will only cause harm. She may hold back from eliminating, increase eating her feces, and start submissive urination.

Continuous pee-ing
Wow! You are all a fantastic resource. (And I notice you are the same folks responding to my other post about how much to feed, so thanks again!) Based on your comments, we are going to speak with the vet Monday about getting Bella checked for a UTI. In reply to the question about Bella's space-- she is confined to the kitchen, and has both bed and crate, but the kitchen is big and is unfortunately open to the sitting room, which has no door, just a large archway. I went today to order an extra-wide gate to keep Bella out of the sitting room. It's her favorite place to go pee and poop (and eat it) because I am normally in the kitchen and can't see her in part of the sitting room. So that's a problem. Fortunately, it's all tile. I have started crating her whenever I leave the room, because of the poop eating. She's happy in her crate. I also crate her when we have to leave the house. The longest she's been in during the day was just over three hours, and she stays clean and dry then so I didn't consider a UTI. She stays dry at night for about 6-7 hours. She goes to her crate voluntarily around 9pm, but we take her out of the crate around midnight and put her on a paper to pee, otherwise she wets herself before we wake her at 7am for first walk. But it's really like she's sleepwalking when we wake her to pee; it's so funny and cute, and then she just staggers back into her crate and immediately sleeps. Last night, she wet herself in the crate after only 2 1/2 hours, which was unusual. It's difficult to rush her outside if she starts to go in the house, because we're on the third floor. Also, we're at the base of a mountain on a dead-end street surrounded by forest, and there are rabbits and foxes (fox and hound, haha!), so lots of reasons not to pop down there with Bella at midnight or 3am as I read that some folks are doing with the puppies. There are big balconies we can let her out on, but thus far she's declined to pee or poop on paper on the balcony; much more interested in investigating the potted plants, etc. So, we'll see what the vet says. Meantime, we'll keep up the wildly enthusiastic praise and treats when Bella gets it right outside, and we'll only look disappointedly in her direction when she gets it wrong inside. And I'll look into clicker training. Sure will cut down on the number of healthful home-baked puppy treats we're going through at present. Happy new year to all of you and your hounds!

I feel your pain. I began the thread HOUSEBREAKING BLUES.
My dog is much older, like 2 or 3 and is not housebroken. He, too, goes outside regularly on a schedule and is often very successful. But, we, too, get the random pee in odd places, different places and at odd times.
He can go through the night, from 11 to 6:30. But, he, too, will pee in his crate and on his dog beds and just lay in it. Everyone says dogs won't do that, but they do. My dog does not poop in the house, thank goodness.
One thing funny about Jesse is that he HATES to get up in the morning (although he needs to.) I have to drag him out of bed, and drag him downstairs and outside. Once out, he goes right away, so I know he needs to go. If I let us sleep in, even a little bit, until 7am or so-too late. He pees the bed.
I think housebreaking is much harder and takes much longer than people say. I remember trying to house train my lab years ago. It took months and everyone was surprised. I thought she had a learning disability. Treats worked for her. But treats don't work for Jesse as he refuses them about half the time. Weird, isn't it? A beagle that refuses food!

Sounds like your going though the same insane frustration as me. Fingers crossed they will pick it up soon, Millie also likes to eat her own poop but she is either growing our if it or has gone off it a bit because she doesn't eat the poop outside anymore.

Frustrating isn't it?
My four month old Max pees like ten times a day it seems, poos at least three to four times a day, and only a fraction of those outside. We got him a week ago and thought were making progress, as the frequency of going outside bettered the use of wee wee pads, but since moving him downstairs in the kitchen he started doing his business inside and more frequently. Sometimes we go outside and stay as long as is bearable (cold and he gets bored) and he pees as soon as he runs into the house often to the dumbfounded response: "are you kidding me?"
He seems extremely frustrated with the gates too, whining and pushing on them whenever anyone is in the house which didn't seem to happen upstairs. But he needs to learn that his place will be in the kitchen.
Hopefully it doesn't take too long for him to learn.

Dont jut take her outside to pee, reward her with a walk.
Walk her about 15 mnutes after she pees.
Paper in the house is telling her it's ok to pee in the house. If you want he to pee outside it has to be outside or nothing.
Take her out every 20 minutes around the clock and adjust as needed for no accidents.
If she has time to eat her poop then it's n the ground too long.

We are rewarding her with a walk. Maybe I didn't say that. We go out to her spot, and once she goes there (which happens immediately on the first morning walk at 7:15, both pee and poop) we go for a long walk, at least 20 minutes and often up to 45 or even an hour. She gets to run around in the woods (on her lead), meet other dogs, see birds and people. Usually she will pee another time. Back in the house, no paper on the floor, she will sometimes immediately pee again. After about two hours, we go out again, same routine, but sometimes she will immediately go and sometimes we will be in her spot for 15 minutes or more and she gets progressively more frustrated and stubborn, pulling on the lead to go somewhere else, and she will not pee, so we go on a walk for at least 15 minutes, then back to her spot, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. As for the poop-eating, she only does it in the house now, no longer attempts to eat it outside, so that's progress! Thank goodness she never went for other dogs' poop outside, only her own. As for it being down too long in the house, I am with her nearly continuously, and crate her when I'm not. (She never poops in the crate.) I clean up immediately, but she is very, very fast and eats it the moment it hits the floor. There have been a couple of times that I watched her poop and then just walk away and never look back, and I thought we were making progress, but the next time, she ate it. I can't figure out why she does or doesn't do it. Right now, we're focused on trying to figure out her schedule so we can adjust the walks accordingly.

I need to run a program off of a disk, the program opens but I get a message that says that my firewall is preventing firefox from opening, I disabled my windows firewall, any suggestions? Thanks
How-To Geek Forums / Windows Vista
Firefox on Vista(6 posts)
Hi heyden ,
Welcome to HTG ,
What's the name of the program ?
Also, do you mean Disc ?
Thanks for the quick response.
It is a CD that contains a wealth of programs, D_Slax 1.6 is the title. It is an evaluation program from her employer to see if her laptop can handle their software. There is limited/no IT assistance available.
I opened the CD and it ran the evaluation including replacing her current desktop, the message said that everything was ok except that my firewall was preventing firefox from opening.
This is the part that worries me "...including replacing her current desktop".
Did the New desktop come with FF or did you have to install that separately ?
Have you tried IE browser ? What happens ?
FF is not installed on the computer and IE is working. The CD is supposed to check if her laptop could support these programs. I am going to check it another computer. I will check with her co-workers to see if they have had the same problems.
Thanks for your help
If FF is not installed on the computer then it will not/can not open no matter what.

Installing a CB radio in your Jeep can be a difficult task. If you want to avoid hours of research, trying to figure out which components are best and are compatible, this Jeep CB radio kit is what you need. We have taken all the work out of it for you. No matter which CB radio, CB antenna, and CB antenna mount you choose, we guarantee they will be compatible with each other. You just have to make sure to choose the correct antenna mount for your Jeep model and year.
Below, we have outlined the options for your CB radio, antenna, and mount. In addition to that information, please keep the following in mind:
- If you choose the Cobra 75 WX ST CB radio, you may want an external speaker, as the Cobra 75's small speaker can be hard to hear.
- Be sure to choose the correct antenna mount for your Jeep model and year
- All the antenna mounts include the mount, cable, and stud
- We highly recommend a spring for your antenna, but it is optional
- All the items under the Accessories tab are optional. You can choose "None" to remove them from the configuration.
- You will have the option for free shipping with any configuration of this kit!
Jeep CB Radio
Jeeps and other off road vehicles tend to have less space for mounting a CB radio. Because of this, we typically recommend a small radio for a Jeep. The smaller radios we offer in this package put out the maximum allowed 4 watts just like the bigger radios. If you do find a little more room for a CB in your Jeep, we recommend the BC880.
- Includes weather Channels
- All-in-Handset design makes this our most compact CB Radio
- Instant emergency channels
- Compact radio takes up little space
- Basic feature set, easy to operate
- Optional PA speaker jack
- Larger radio with more features
- Includes Weather Channels
- Illuminated face
Jeep CB Antenna
As with all CB radio antennas, the antenna for your Jeep should be as tall as you can accommodate on your vehicle without becoming dangerous or impractical. A taller CB antenna will mean longer range and better reception. With less stable mounts, such as the fender mounts, you will want to stick with a 3 or 4 foot antenna.
- Heavier antenna
- Tuneable tip
- Several color options
- Stiff antenna, not extremely flexible
- Lighter antenna
- Tuneable tip
- Black only
- More flexible CB antenna
- Lighter CB antenna
- More difficult to tune
- Several color options
- More flexible antenna
- Internal winding make this antenna more durable
Jeep Antenna Mount
We have several options for mounting your Jeep CB antenna. Some antenna mounts will only work with certain Jeep styles and model years. Be sure to double check the CB antenna mount you choose with your Jeep to ensure compatibility. You can always contact us to confirm it will work.
- Universal mount compatible with all Jeeps
- 3 mounting options
- Horizontal post
- Vertical post
- Remove back plate and use as L bracket
- May require drilling new holes
AUC10K ll Hood Mount with Coax Cable
- Universal mount compatible with any Jeep With a hood channel up to 2" deep

All you need to know about elderly care
As people grow old, they need constant physical and mental support. For most elderly, there comes a time when they are unable to manage alone. This is the time when they need someone to assist them and take care of them. A needs assessment is conducted to evaluate the needs of the elderly and ascertain whether they will need care providers at home or if they will have to move into a care home for more specialized care. Following the needs assessment is the financial assessment of the elderly which involves understanding their income and savings to evaluate if they are in a position to pay for their care services. If a person is found to have assets above a certain pre-determined level, then he or she is considered to be responsible for paying for his or her care. With most local authorities changing their eligibility criteria for offering care services, most people are falling under the category in which they are responsible to pay for their specialized long term care services.
Dealing with the expenses involved with long term care:
When it comes to dealing with the expenses that are a part of the long term care, there are limited options available to the elderly primarily because of lack of an active source of income. Most people who require long term care are retired individuals who have no source of regular income. For such people, the two most viable options for bearing the costs of long term care are downsizing and equity release.
Downsizing basically means reducing the assets that you have. People who choose this option opt to release the equity from their property and move into a smaller apartment or home. In some cases, this option cannot be possible if the property needs a good amount of repair or if the value thus realized from it and after making arrangements for a smaller property will not be sufficient to bear the care costs.
Equity Release:
The option of equity release is more popular among the elderly. With this option, people can release some or all of the equity from their property without having to move their home.
How can equity release help in dealing with long term care costs?
Equity release schemes can help a great deal to take care of your long term care expenses. There are a variety of equity release schemes available to choose from depending upon your need and requirement. Elderly people can either opt for a single payment of their equity or request for regular monthly payments. This will ensure that they have money coming in to help them with their long term care costs. Equity release schemes are perfectly designed for the elderly to improve their quality of living by having money to take care of their health issues. Also, as people will continue to stay in their own homes, there will not be a question of poor living conditions to ever affect them.
While equity release option can be highly beneficial, it is always recommended to seek expert advice from an equity release specialist to understand the options available and make the right decision.

Read some of the wonderful feedback that we have received from some of our clients!
When I started getting old, I started getting more and more dependent. That's when I decided to opt for long term care at home. I didn't want this option to spell financial constraint for my children. Equity Release option helped me here and I'm glad I opted for it.

Happy Client
Long term care can get really expensive. I was just settling in my life and already had the responsibility of my child. During this time, my mother was in extreme need of long term care and support. The most feasible option was to opt for equity release scheme. I convinced my mother to do it and she is very well taken care of now. After all, what is worth of a property if it does not serve you in ill health.

Used BMW 6 Series Coupe 03-11No longer on sale
What's the used BMW 6 Series like?
The BMW 6 Series coupe is a relatively rare sight on UK streets, so exclusivity is assured. Plus, it's an impressive grand tourer.
Built to cover long distances, it's lavishly equipped, supple-riding and quick. However, while it's a big car, there's not enough space in the back for adults, and luggage space is barely enough for a week's holiday for two.
It's based on the 5 Series saloon, so it rides and drives with all the polish you'd expect.
The Interior is handsome, but doesn't have the warmth or special feel of some of its more exotic competitors.
Like other BMWs, minor controls are handled through BMW's iDrive system, which employs a single point-and-click dial to control heating, phone, stereo and so on. It's a love-it-or-hate-it device, so spend time with it before you buy.

The Destination
Take a trip back in time to the Gold Rush boom—an era that defines a prosperous period in California's rich history—when you escape to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. In the Gold Rush Region (a short drive from Yosemite National Park), small, walkable mining towns full of historic landmarks and seemingly untouched saloons are balanced by the awe-inspiring and grandiose beauty of the sweeping natural landscape that lies beyond. If you listen to those whistling pines, you can hear the mountains calling.
The Digs
Experience the best of the region at the newly renovated Yosemite Gold Country Lodge, situated just off Highway 49 in the throwback mining town of Coulterville. It's only a 25-minute drive from Yosemite and 15 minutes from Lake McClure, Lake McSwain, and historic Jamestown. Inside, guests
are greeted with cheerfully renovated rooms—think hardwood floors, lodgepole pine furnishings, and marble bathrooms—that are equipped with satellite TV and high-speed Internet. Outside, you'll have access to a hot tub—just the spot for a soothing soak after a brisk day in the park.

Peace Like A River
Poem by: CalsJoy
Status: Finished
Genre: Religion and Spirituality
Sitting by a river on a dock
Watching as the water hits each rock
As wind blows through the flowers and trees
And I feel that calm and gentle breeze
I looked up to see the pretty sky
Saw many birds flying by
Then I looked down to see the ripples in a wave
And I think of the effect of Your love and all that You gave
Whenever life is like a storm
Or when I feel like I'm in a swarm
And when I'm feeling empty and dry
My heart is the thing You satisfy
In the misted of all this, I start praying
Moments later I sense peace and hear Your voice saying
"Like water that drenches you, My love is the same.
My love is deep and I've called you by your name."
Like a river flow
You satisfy my soul
I feel Your love rushing over me
And I feel like I'm running free
It's wonderful to feel Your presence
Having You there to stand at my defense
And that I can forget everything in the misted
Cause I can relax and trust all that You've said

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I had a walmart family mobile account for 3 months from Feb. 2014 to May 2014. In May I got a new phone by a new carrier and I called Family mobile to cancel my service. I was informed by the phone rep that my service had been canceled. I was to understand that this was the end of it.
Fast forward to July 2014, I receive a letter in the mail informing me that my line has been suspended due to an outstanding balance of $87.32.
How could I have an outstanding balance on a cancelled line?
I called customer service, and explained that this line should have been canceled, and that I had called in that request back in May. They stated that they had no record of my call and they informed me that they could not remove the charge, and that I would need to email Customer Relations, I was told that Customer Relations would write off the charge considering that after checking, they see there is no activity on the line.
I email Customer Relations, who wrote back about a day later informing me that they had no record of my call and they could not remove the charge. They referred me back to Customer Service to pay the bill.
I have written back, once again reitterating that I had requested a cancellation, and that due to an error on thier part, my line was not cancelled, apparently, and that I would not be paying for services that I requested be cancelled.
I await a response, but I am already seeing bad signs, especially since I just saw a similar issue posted on this site about them. They're just after your money, and have NO concept of custmer service.

In the National Track and Field Championships 5000 m last month, Yuichiro 'Big Mouth' Ueno's usual stupidity was nowhere to be seen.* Hanging back at the rear of the lead pack, Ueno bided his time before attacking to take his first national title. Watching the race, Hiroshi Tako, Ueno's coach since his early days at Chuo University, commented, "Hmmn, this isn't like him at all." That's how much Ueno wanted to make his first World Championships team.
Three days later came the 1500 m. Right from the first lap Ueno took off at a dash. All the real middle distance runners in the race waited as they followed their carefully-built race plans. On the last lap the leaders tried to run Ueno down, but it was too late. "Man, it's pretty weak that nobody even tried to race me," he said in his post-race interview. Ueno became the first person in 24 years to win the 1500 m and 5000 m double at the National Championships. People across the country laughed in amazement that Big Mouth had finally actually done something.
Ueno's career goal is the marathon. That hasn't changed since he entered high school, when he famously said in an interview, "I'm going to set the world record." He plans to concentrate on speed until he's 29. Currently he trains about 400 km a month. Compared to Olympic gold medalists Naoko Takahashi and Mizuki Noguchi, who trained over 1000 km a month, it seems like Ueno isn't working hard enough.
The reality is different. Ueno missed out on the 2007 World Championships in Osaka and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing because of injuries. "I can't even count the number of times I cried because I couldn't train," he says. "Finally, finally, finally, I did it." Ueno understands that rather than killing himself in training, now it's the time for him to develop himself and flesh out his abilities. He may be a clever runner after all.
Yuichiro Ueno
Born in Saku, Nagano. 183 cm, 58 kg. 23 yrs. old. Runs for Team S&B. While at Saku Chosei High School he broke the 12 year-old 10000 m high school national record. An ekiden star while at Chuo University, he was known as one of the 'Four Princes' of the university ekiden world along with Satoru Kitamura (Team Nissin Shokuhin), Yuki Matsuoka (Team Otsuka Seiyaku) and Hideaki Date (Team Chugoku Denryoku). PBs: 1500 m - 3:42.51 / 5000 m - 13:21.49 / 10000 m - 28:27.39
*Translator's note: Ueno has a long-standing reputation for talking big and blowing up even bigger.

Big Mouth Scores the Big Ticket - Yuichiro Ueno in Berlin

Ueno and another runner wore what looked like black belts. What's it benefit/purpose?
- July 29, 2009 at 12:31 PM
- Brett Larner said...
They're for lower back support. A lot of younger Japanese guys wear them, especially ones who graduated from Saku Chosei High School like Ueno and Yuki Sato. All the Saku guys have similar form, so the belt may counteract some of the strain caused by running that way.

A 3:42 guy should not be able to participate at worlds...I don't know how this guy can be cocky when he is not even world class

Ueno is running the 5000 at Worlds, not the 1500m. The fact that he's cockier than he deserves is kind of what makes him interesting.

The God Makers II
The God Makers II is a documentary-styled film produced by Ed Decker and Jeremiah Films in 1993. The film attempts to be an exposé of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The film is a sequel to Decker's earlier film The God Makers.
- 1 Overview of the film
- 2 Controversy
- 3 Notes
- 4 References
- 5 External links
Overview of the film[edit]
The introductory segment contains the following warning:
Due to the nature of the subject matter, this program is recommended for mature audiences. All the following information pertaining to Mormon theology can be verified using Mormon publications.
A photo of the Salt Lake Temple is shown twisting and distorting. A voiceover by Decker comments on his earlier films The Godmakers and Temple of the Godmakers, stating that the earlier films "caused mayhem" and suggests that his films caused the LDS Church to "modify several so-called unchangeable sacred doctrines" as a result.
Decker introduces himself with the statement that he was an active member of the LDS Church for 19 years.
Financial power of the LDS Church[edit]
The LDS Church is described as a huge business enterprise. John Heinerman, author of "Mormon Corporate Empire" describes various business ventures that the church is involved in. Heinerman states that 25% of the church's holdings are in agribusiness. John L. Smith, Director of Utah Missions, Inc. states that the men at the top of the "Mormon empire" are extremely wealthy and hold a lot of the corporate power in the country.
Decker states that Joseph Smith "actively enjoyed at least 27 other wives" and describes his first plural wife as a "barely pubescent teenaged relative." Decker relates how the cessation of this practice by the church resulted in the formation of many fundamentalist splinter groups who continue the practice today. A series of interviews follows with men and women from some of these fundamentalist groups as they relate their experiences with polygamy.
Thelma Greer, identified as a "Former Mormon" and author of Mormonism, Mama and Me, talks about her great-grandfather John D. Lee.[1]
A man identified only as "Art, Polygamist, Mormon Fundamentalist Prophet and Leader" is interviewed as he stands in front of the LDS Church Office Building in Salt Lake City.[2]
Lillian LeBaron Chynoweth relates her experiences living in a polygamous fundamentalist group. Chynoweth, identified in the film as "Lillian, Former Mormon Fundamentalist," was the daughter of Ervil LeBaron. LeBaron was the leader and prophet of the Church of the Lamb of God, although the name of the church is not identified in the film and is instead referred to by Chynoweth as the "Mormon Church." Chynoweth states that the group was sincere in practicing "all aspects of Mormonism" and describes her father as controlling every aspect of their lives through revelation.
James R. Spencer, identified as a "Former Mormon" and the author of Beyond Mormonism, states that any "horny" Mormon needs to be polygamous.[3]
Blood atonement[edit]
A practice referred to as "blood atonement" is discussed. Decker states that the concept of blood atonement "glorifies the atoning power of the blood of the Mormon sinner," and refers to statements regarding "blood atonement" made by LDS Apostle Bruce R. McConkie in his book Mormon Doctrine, claiming that McConkie contradicts himself on a single page.
Chynoweth relates the account of the murder of her husband, her brother-in-law, and his eight-year-old daughter by her half-brothers. She states that their names were "on the list to be atoned for" because her father believed that they were "traitors to God's cause." At the end of Chynoweth's interview, she states that if anything happens to her that the "Mormon" church will be responsible. Immediately following this statement, a text overlay states that shortly after the interview, Lillian was found dead in her home of a gunshot wound.
Changes to the Book of Mormon[edit]
Decker refers to "4000 changes" in the Book of Mormon since it was first published. In addition, Decker states that LDS Church leaders have "covered up thousands of historical and archeological errors," while contrasting this with the statement that the Bible is "historically and archaeologically" accurate.[4] Interspersed with Decker's comments are statements from David Breese, author of Know the Marks of a Cult.
Spirit wives and "celestial sex"[edit]
The film include segments of the animation video from God Makers, which depicts God the Father surrounded by numerous, blonde, identical "spirit wives" who are caring for "spirit children."
Greer states that Mormon men are promised that they will have "unlimited eternal sex" and that the Mormon woman is promised a life of "eternal pregnancy." Greer also states that if Mormon men do not marry in a Mormon temple that "they will be castrated" and "made eunuchs" as the result of "an operation" that will take place after they reach heaven. Decker later follows up on this theme by stating that the goal of every Mormon man is to "enjoy everlasting, celestial sex with thousands of goddess wives."
BYU Jerusalem Center[edit]
Chuck Sackett, identified as "Former Mormon" and author of What's Going On in There? appears outside of Jerusalem dressed in Mormon temple clothing. Referring to the BYU Jerusalem Center, Sackett states that he wants to warn the Jews about the "deception and misrepresentation that was employed in building this Mormon edifice" and claims that the true purpose of the structure is to proselytize the Jews. Sackett also makes a number of statements that he claims represent Mormon beliefs, including the following:
- a claim that Mormons believe that they are the only "true Jews" on earth today.
- a claim that Mormons believe that they all come from the tribe of Ephraim.[5]
- A statement that, upon baptism, Mormons believe that their blood actually changes to the blood of Israel.[6] The video accompanying this statement does not show a baptism, but instead shows two men in dressed in white, one of whom is making hand motions over the other.
New Age practices[edit]
The film shows what are said to be New Age related practices, which involved filming a woman wearing a pyramid on her head and a man who appears to be having a seizure. During this segment Heinerman states that "people of the new age movement are often more open to the truths of Mormonism."
Goddess wives and the temple[edit]
Decker states that, "The goal of every Mormon man is to become the duplicate of the Mormons' concept of God: to reign over planets and solar systems and enjoy everlasting, celestial sex with thousands of goddess wives."[7] Decker claims that temple attendance is required to achieve this goal, but that 75% of LDS members will never enter a temple. He also suggests that the requirement to wear "sacred temple underwear" places LDS members under bondage.
The occult[edit]
William Schnoebelen, listed as "Author, Former Mormon, Former Satanist," appears in front of the Los Angeles Temple. Schnoebelen states that he was a former "high priest of Satan" who attended the temple, and that he was "ultimately very satisfied by it because [he] thought that this was in fact a profound satanic initiation ceremony." Both Schnoebelen and Decker equate Mormon temple practices with Satanism. Regarding these allegations of satanic practices, Decker states that the "LDS Church has officially acknowledged that we were right," apparently referring to the Pace memorandum.[8]
Decker discusses the Mormon ordinance of baptism for the dead, stating that this is "when the dead are called up to convert to Mormonism," and that the dead will "seek out" those who enter the temple.
Decker claims that Joseph Smith was a sorcerer and fortune teller and that "[i]t is therefore quite natural to surmise that Smith's followers would be involved in the same practices that he advocated." Decker also claims that Smith was convicted of sorcery and "crystal ball gazing or fortune telling" by courts in New York.
Decker states that Smith traveled to the hill Cumorah annually to "conjure up the spirit" of the angel Moroni from the dead. A picture of a decomposed skeletal body in a coffin is shown as Decker suggests that there is "strong evidence" that Smith had to dig up the body of his brother Alvin and bring part of his body to the hill in order to obtain the golden plates.
Decker claims that Smith used "blood sacrifices in his magic rituals" in order to locate treasure. Decker quotes C. R. Stafford, while Stafford quotes earlier critics.[9]
Decker states that Smith was found to be in possession of a "magic talisman" at the time of his death that would bring him "wealth, power and success in seducing women."[10]
Allegations against church leaders[edit]
A dying AIDS patient named Charles Van Damme is interviewed. Van Damme claims that he arranged women and drugs for church leaders (including Gordon B. Hinckley). These comments are interspersed with video of several people carrying protest signs near Temple Square in Salt Lake City. Commenting on the lack of news responding to these allegations, Decker states that the church executed "an extraordinary media blackout" and that they "stopped the hottest story of the '80s." Decker further states that the "Mormon church" has the "ability to control virtually all media programming with their minds."
Responses to the film[edit]
The film The God Makers II provoked a number of responses from both supporters and critics of Mormonism, with both groups claiming severe inaccuracies in the information presented.[11] Says Massimo Introvigne, "the second book and film are worse than the first: they include an explicit call to hatred and intolerance that has been denounced as such by a number of Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish organizations." Among the critics of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that challenged the film were Jerald and Sandra Tanner, despite Sandra Tanner's involvement in the first God Makers film.[12] When Decker was denounced by Jerald and Sandra Tanner, he went so far as to accuse them of being in the pay of the LDS Church and even of being "demonized" themselves. Decker and his associates offered to exorcise the Tanners' demons, and expressed great sadness when they refused.[13]
The film provoked bomb threats against LDS meetinghouses and death threats against members.[14]
BYU Jerusalem Center[edit]
A segment in the film focuses on the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern studies located on Mount Scopus outside the old city of Jerusalem. The center was constructed in 1984, and teaches curriculum concerning Near Eastern history, Hebrew and Arabic language, and the Gospels in the New Testament. Part of the agreement which allowed its construction was that students are forbidden to proselytize. If a student breaks this agreement, he or she is sent home. The center was closed during the period between 2000 and 2006 due to security concerns as the result of the Second Intifada and reopened in 2007.
Blood atonement[edit]
Lillian Chynoweth's description of the "blood atonement" administered by the followers of Ervil LeBaron is briefly described in Jon Krakauer's book Under the Banner of Heaven. Although not explicitly named in the film The God Makers II, the list that Chynoweth referred to was called The Book of the New Covenants, and was written by Ervil LeBaron before his death in prison. The document contained a list of individuals that LeBaron believed deserved to die. Upon receipt of the list by several of his sons, they proceeded to administer this punishment.[15]
With regard to the statement of Lillian Chynoweth's death after the completion of the film, The God Makers II does not make it clear that she committed suicide in 1992, and instead leaves the impression with the viewer that she was murdered as the result of the "blood atonement" threat. The Tanners take issue with the manner in which this is presented in the film, stating, "[t]his statement certainly suggests to all those who see the video, that Lillian Chynoweth was murdered in cold blood. What the producers of The God Makers II fail to tell the viewer is that Lillian took her own life.[12][16] Also, the "Mormon Church" Chynoweth refers to on film is the "Church of the Lamb of God" but the film does not make this clear, so the viewer is left to infer she was speaking about the LDS Church. The Tanners, who do make the claim that the LDS Church practiced "blood atonement" in the 19th century, state, "[u]nfortunately, The God Makers II has presented the material concerning blood atonement in a way that has caused many people to believe that the Mormon (LDS) Church is still involved in the practice".[12]
The LDS Church claims that this doctrine was never practiced in the 19th century church at all, and formally repudiated the allegations of this practice in 1889.[17]
Allegations of sorcery and necromancy[edit]
Joseph Smith was never "convicted" or even tried on charges of sorcery, crystal ball gazing or fortune telling. In 1826 a written complaint was filed against Smith as a "disorderly person." This resulted in what is referred to as the "1826 trial" of Joseph Smith. The charge was "glass looking," in reference to Smith's use of a stone to assist in the search for treasure during the time that he worked for Josiah Stowell. Contradictory accounts of the trial exist, and the outcome is not specified.[18]
The allegation that Joseph Smith dug up and took with him a part of his brother Alvin's body to the hill Cumorah is unconfirmed. Fawn Brodie in her biography of Smith: No Man Knows My History accepts Joseph Smith Sr.'s story on face value where he states that the family, "heard a rumor that Alvin's body had been exhumed and dissected. Fearing it to be true, the elder Smith uncovered the grave on September 25, 1824 and inspected the corpse."[19]
The story of the exhumation of Alvin's remains gained new life with the "discovery" of Mark Hofmann's forged Salamander Letter. The forger is believed to have borrowed heavily from the affidavit of Willard Chase, published in the book Mormonism Unvailed in 1834. Chase states that the angel told Joseph Smith to bring his brother Alvin with him to obtain the plates.[20] Alvin died on November 19, 1823, well before Smith's second visit to the hill on September 22, 1824. Although Chase's statement makes no further comment regarding Alvin, Hofmann's forgery adds a claim that Smith said to the angel, "he is dead shall I bring what remains but the spirit is gone." This statement reintroduced speculation regarding the exhumation of Alvin's body for the purpose of satisfying the requirements for obtaining the plates. Jerald and Sandra Tanner point out that the only known source of such a requirement is the discredited Salamander Letter and suggest that Decker relied upon this letter as the source of his claim.[21]
Author Dan Vogel, in his book Joseph Smith: The Making of a Prophet, speculates that the allegation is in fact true and that Joseph Smith Sr. stated there was a rumor, or even started it himself, merely to create a pretext for the exhumation. Vogel suggests that the family would not have had to dig up Alvin's grave in order to see if it had been tampered with. Further, accepting Chase's testimony in Mormonism Unvailed, Vogel states that the timing of the exhumation (September 25, close to the equinox during which Lucy Mack Smith states Joseph made his visits to Cumorah) further suggests it was part of an attempt to secure the golden plates.[22]

John Abraham, Vidya Balan to pair in Force 2 ?
Since 'Force" has received a positive response, Vipul Shah is keen to go for 'Force 2" quickly. Vipul said, "Yes, we are extremely happy with the success of 'Force" at the Box Office. I am keen to start the sequel with John immediately. The story is a completely new adventure, with a new villain, who John will have to go head-to-head with."
The film is John Abraham's first solo hit. Something new in the movie that has pulled the youth crowd was the model-turned-actor Vidyut Jamwal, the beefy hunk who has made his debut as a villain in the film with amazing acting skills.
Apparently during the making of the action film Kamat had ideated the sequel. When asked if they had signed Vidya for the film, this is what he said, "We are still in the process of getting the final draft of the film. The casting is under process. Yes, we have met a couple of people, but it is too early to name any actors as no one, except John, is on-board yet."

Warning: This story contains spoilers! Do not read on if you haven't reached up to Stunning!
Author's Note: This is a little one-shot on how I think Isaac handled Emily's confession about Violet after she received his text the next morning. This is my first time writing Pretty Little Liars fan fiction, so bear with me, it most likely won't be the best. And I can't help but feel like Emily and Isaac are a little OOC... Plus, Emily isn't even my favorite PLL... In fact, she's my least favorite, but I've liked her more as the books progressed. (And I absolutely adore Isaac and Emily, just as much as I do Aria and Noel!) Anyway, that's up for you to decide. Enjoy!
P.S. This takes place after the eleventh book, Stunning.
Confession Time
By Lady Elena Dawson
Disclaimer: I do not own Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard.
I've thought about things, and I want to talk.
Emily's mind was whirring from all that had happened this picturesque Monday morning. Just a few minutes ago she had seen her baby daughter Violet be securely carried away by the Bakers, and now she had to deal with the father, Isaac. Her stomach knotted up when she remembered Isaac's reaction to her confession last night – shock, disgust, and anger. She couldn't tell if the furious part was from her secret that they had created together, or that he was totally opposed to being an unplanned, unexpected, and very young father.
But he shouldn't worry about that, or even be angry of all things, Emily comforted herself. She had given her up, for God's sake. Her priest knew. The police knew. The only people who she was anxious about telling were her parents and maybe Mrs. Colbert, Isaac's mother… If he was that type of person, but considering he got a tattoo and stood up for her at dinner a few nights ago, telling his mother about his illegitimate daughter was out of limits for a while.
Overall, though, she just hoped that he understood her decision on giving up Violet for adoption. Leaving her on the Bakers' porch was probably the best choice she could've made if Violet were to grow up in a safe, happy environment – after all, how many teen couples actually made their lives with children work out? This wasn't some episode of Secret Life of the American Teenager that Emily used to watch on TV before losing interest with it – that was her life. And to think that she would scoff at that show all the time.
Yet, no one knew that something like a bun in the oven would happen to oh-so-innocent Emily Fields. No, no one would even imagine something as scandalous as that.
She now chewed into her thumb nail, the light pink nail polish she had shakily applied last night as a little pick-me-up from witnessing Gayle's murder flaking off. She was always the type of person to worry away; maybe one day it'll lead her to an ulcer. But after a while she couldn't handle the thought of torturous A murdering her baby, and to soothe the tears that had sloppily tainted her cheeks she needed to occupy herself – and the nail polish was in full view.
She fumbled with her phone as Hanna took a left back home. The house on Chestnut Hill was nothing but a memory in Emily's mind now. Hanna glanced at Emily through the mirror, her plucked eyebrows furrowing. "Is everything all right, Em? Didn't it go well?"
Of course everything had gone well. Using that little superstitious game of hers, the next car that had passed was blue, which meant that Violet would be safe from A's clutches. And she had retold her reunion with choked-back tears to her friends Hanna, Aria, and Spencer. Each girl had a relieved glimmer in their different-colored eyes as she told them how adorable and happy Violet had looked waving good-bye to her.
She swallowed the enormous lump in her throat, her lips parched. "Like I said, guys, I'm fine." Turning her attention to the window, she dug her freshly chipped nails into the case on her phone and bit her lip, thinking about how to respond to Isaac's text. Obviously she cared enough about Violet to meet up with him and explain it all through – but his multiple expressions still haunted her, and she didn't know what to do.
Sighing, she looked at Aria, Spencer, and Hanna, who were all deep in thought about their own lives. With tremulous fingers, Emily unlocked her phone and typed in the text, having to tap the backspace button more than usual.
Meet me at Belissima tonight at six, she texted back. Before she could chicken out, she pressed send – and like that, the tightening in her stomach loosened.
At six o'clock sharp that night, Emily strode into the Italian bistro with as much confidence as she could muster. She had rehearsed how to retell her pregnancy reality to Isaac in the mirror, her hands clenching the edge of the sink so hard her knuckles had turned white. But now she had released all that tension, and she was ready to create peace between her and Isaac.
When they had first dated, everything was blissful. But then his mom hated her guts, and they had gotten in a fight over it – yet, reuniting with him after their break-up a year ago had sparked that energy she had felt around him, something she had only felt with certain girls like her Alison, or Courtney. It felt amazing, almost ecstatic, to have him back in her life, and she didn't want to lose him over something they were both guilty for.
The voice was broken yet soft, and Emily's knees went weak as she turned around, nerves jangling, and met Isaac's troubled gaze. "H-hey," she managed to say, giving him her hand; however, he didn't return her greeting, but just kept staring into her hazel eyes. Her mouth was still open, yet no words came out.
Finally, Isaac cracked and pushed his brown hair aside. "I thought about what you told me last night, about the baby…," he started, but he never finished.
Emily gulped, tears threatening to spill at the back of her eyes. "Yeah, I wanted to tell you the whole story," she went with, hoping her voice didn't sound too desperate or gave away too much.
He nodded and gestured towards the bustling restaurant. "Why don't we sit down and order first?"
Their table was quiet as they waited to be served. Once their menus were taken away, Emily held her hands under the table, sweat prickling her palms. "After we broke up, my friends and I went on a trip to Jamaica for spring break," she began, trying to think of the way she had practiced this moment before leaving the house. "And it started when I couldn't keep down anything, and I'd throw it all back up. So when I went home, I took a pregnancy test and it came back…positive…" She didn't know if she could go on.
Isaac took a prolonged sip of his drink, his eyes looking anywhere but at Emily's. She could see the perspiration sprouting on his forehead; he must've been just as nerve-wracked as she was. "What did you do, um, after that?"
"Well, I finished school, and for the summer I was in Philly with my sister." She blinked away the wetness in her eyes.
"How did she take it?"
"Not well," she confessed. "I don't think Carolyn is going to talk to me for a long time."
Isaac's next words were forgiving and, from Emily's point of view, kind of weepy. "And what about…the baby?"
Emily swallowed hard. Of course he would want to know about his own daughter. "I started searching for couples wanting to adopt. That's when I found the Bakers." She laughed a little, remembering how her heart had melted just reading the couple's words on the website. "They looked so genuinely nice, that I contacted them and gave them the day I was due for my C-section." Isaac's eyes stared blankly into hers. "Violet, she was…breeched."
"Violet?" He repeated the words like they were new on his tongue. "That's her name?"
Emily nodded like it was the hardest thing in the world. "Yeah." Her voice cracked, but she pushed it back; she couldn't cry now.
Isaac's hand traveled across the table and tenderly took her damp palm in his, his thumb smoothing out her soft skin. She was shocked by this sudden, warm gesture. "Did you give her that name?"
She shook her head. "No, the Bakers did… When I learned about that, that was when I really felt like Violet was my daughter…" Her eyes bore into his, and she knew she had to keep Gayle out of this until some other time. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it until now…," she choked out.
And she cried. She was never a loud crier, so no one paid much attention to her scene, but she still couldn't forget how sweet and cute Violet was as Lizzie Baker waved her hand. That could've been her moment, her experience – but she had given that all up when she decided on adoption. She pulled her hand away from his and covered her crumbled face.
"Emily…," Isaac whispered, and it was the sweetest sound she had heard in a long while. "I'm really sorry about my reaction last night. I didn't mean to act disgusted, but if I was, I'm sorry I had to put you through that mess." He paused and sighed. "Listen, I really thought about this... And I don't regret your decision." His voice sounded strained and tight, as though he was holding in his tears too. "And I'm not angry about me being a father… It just makes me wonder what life would've been like if I had been by your side. I mean, a C-section? That must've been awful."
Emily shrugged and evasively wiped her eyes. "My friends were there. For a newborn, she was beautiful." A small smile was able to make its way on her lips.
And Isaac grinned too. He took another gulp of his drink. Now that the ice was broken, he was ready to prance right in. "What does she look like?"
"She has my hair," she explained. "Little tufts of strawberry blonde. She's seven months now… And she has your eyes."
The expression on Isaac's face was utterly unreadable. Emily couldn't tell if he was deep in thought or just heartfelt over the fact that his daughter had his eyes. "That's…something," he finally said, making Emily laugh.
"'That's something'?" she mocked. "Is that all you could say?"
A chuckle escaped Isaac's throat as well. "I just wish I had a picture of her, that's all." Emily's smile faltered and her face fell. He noticed her sudden mood swing and looked away uncomfortably; even Emily didn't have a keepsake of her daughter, except for the scar she had on her stomach from the C-section. He reached out for her hand again. "Or even better, I wish I could meet her." He played around with her fingers, and Emily blushed.
And this whole time you thought he would be angry, she thought, mentally scolding herself.
"Maybe the Bakers will let us visit sometime," Emily said hopefully, but she doubted it. To see Violet grow up without her… She didn't know how she would be able to handle that and keep reminding herself that she wasn't hers anymore, and that right belonged to someone else.
They enjoyed their meal quietly, except for when Isaac would pop up a random question that gave her the impression that he was obsessed with little Violet. And again that mental image of her and Isaac each holding one of Violet's tiny hands flashed in her mind, and she had to push it aside so she wouldn't destroy his spirit.
After paying for the check, they strolled out in the cool night air, Isaac snuck his hand into hers and squeezed her delicate hand tightly. When Emily looked up, there was a contagious smile on his face, the one that made her melt from the first day she met him. "Have you told your parents?"
Emily shook her head uncomfortably. How would she tell them? "No, not yet," she confessed. But she made it quick to add, "But I'm planning to."
Now the supportive boyfriend Emily dreamed he would be and not the nightmarish vision she had last night, he added, "Would it be better if I was there with you?"
She squeezed his hand, a smile creeping on her lips. "I would like that."
They stared into each other's eyes for a moment too long before he pulled her into him, their bodies touching. When he kissed her, it was like magic all over again. They would get through this. And before their embrace had even ended, she whispered, "I forgive you."
Finally, she was at peace with her life: She would tell her parents about last summer with Isaac by her side to back it up. And what was even more comforting for Emily was that she could control something in her life - before A did first.
