The Decision to Marry and Engagement
The Oddest Couples On Record:
How many of you have seen a couple together and thought, "Now, There's an odd matchup?" Perhaps it was because of the differences in appearance, personality, interests, or backgrounds.
Why people marry whom they do has been an interesting question asked by many. There have certainly been some unusual matchups in recent years.
For example, the youngest marriage on record occurred in 1986 when a 3-month old girl was married to an 11-month old boy to settle a 20-year land feud between two families in Bangladesh.
The longest-lasting marriage was 86 years, It began in 1853 and ended in 1940. It was between Sir Temulji Bhicaji Nariman and Lady Nariman in Bombay, India. They were both five years old when they were married.
The longest engagement was between Octavio Guillen and Adriana Martinez who finally married in Mexico City after being engaged for 67 years.
The oldest newlyweds on record were Harry Stevens and Thelma Lucas, married in 1984 when he was 101 and she was 84.
The greatest age difference on record was Ruth and Kevin Kimber, married in 1990, (she was 93 and he was 24).
The biggest weight difference was in 1978 between Jeanette Minnoch who weighed 110 pounds and her husband, Jon, weighed 1300 pounds. Jon Minnoch was the heaviest human being ever recorded. He weighed 1400 pounds when he died.
The greatest height difference was in 1978 between Nigel Wilkes, who was 6 ft. 7 in. and Beverly Russell, who was 3 ft. 11. in, Their son, Daniel was born by caesarean section and weighed 9 lbs. 5 oz. at his birth in March, 1986.
The shortest (height) marriage on record was between Charles Stratton, known as General Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren in 1863. He was 2 ft. 10 in. and she was 2 ft. 8 in.
The tallest marriage on record was between Martin Van Buren Bates of Whitesbury, Kentucky and Anna Hanen Swan of Nova Scotia. She was 7 ft. 5 ½ in. and he was 7 ft. 2 ½ in. tall.
Revelation and the Marriage Decision
In the last several classes we've looked at prophetic counsel on how to recognize feelings of true love and how to choose an eternal companion. We have considered the counsel of Elder Bruce R. McConkie to use both agency and prayer in choosing a mate and president Kimball's admonition to decide only after careful planning and thinking, fasting and prayer. Agency involves doing our part. Elder McConkie said that "we're expected to use the gifts and talents and abilities, the sense and judgment and agency with which we are endowed" (Agency or Inspiration– Which?" Brigham Young University, Speeches of the Year, 1972-73).
Prayer involves asking God to do His part. Our part is to figure it out and make the choice. God's part is to give us direction and confirmation in that choice.
Elder McConkie said that "we need to strike a balance between these two, if we're going to pursue a course that will give us joy, satisfaction, and peace in this life and lead to eternal reward in our Father's kingdom."
Elder Boyd K. Packer said: "You can be given false spiritual messages… The spiritual part of us and the emotional part of us are so closely linked that it is possible to mistake an emotional impulse for something spiritual. We occasionally find people who receive what they assume to be spiritual promptings from God, when those promptings are either centered in emotions or are from the adversary" ("The Candle of the Lord," Ensign, Jan. 1983, 53).
So, two questions arise:
D&C 93:12"Grace to Grace"
The Greenie Theory!
Why the Word of Wisdom? D&C 89:4
Why Gifts of the Spirit? D&C 46:8
D&C 6:14-16, 22-23It takes revelation to receive a revelation.
God --- Prophet --- Man --- Man must rely on God to fulfill His revelation!(Nephi's three attempts at the plates)
Charles C. Rich was a prominent man in the Church and later settled the Bear Lake area in Utah.
He was a member of the Twelve.
Charles had learned about a family who had a daughter named Sarah Pea. Sarah had been taught by the missionaries and had heard much about Charles Rich.
Three different sets of missionaries told Sara about Charles C. Rich and indicated that she should get to know him and that they would be perfect for each other.
They boldly declared that Charles ought to be her husband. It was through "the missionaries" that they both felt that they should marry each other.
Charles wrote,
"It is a pleasure that I at this time pen a few lines to you, although a perfect stranger to you. I trust that these few lines may be received by you and may be the beginning of a happy acquaintance with you.
I will now let you know the reason for my boldness in writing you is because Elder George M. Hinckle and others have highly recommended you as a Saint of the last days, and as being worthy of my attention.
I think I should be happy to get a good companion, such as one as I could take comfort with through life and such a one as could take comfort with me.
As you have been recommended to me as such, I would be very happy to see you and converse with you on the subject.
I should be happy to see you in Zion in the spring and hope that these lines are received with the same feelings that I write them.
I trust that you will be single and unengaged when I arrive.
When this letter comes to land and after you have read and meditated upon it, I should be glad if you would write me an answer to it. If so, you can direct your letter to Liberty, Clay County, Missouri…. No more at present but I remain yours with the best of respects.
Charles C. Rich
That was his proposal and this was her answer:
To Mr. Charles C. Rich,
"Entreat me not to leave thee or return from following after thee. For whether thou goest, I will go and where thou lodgest, I will lodge, thy people shall be my people and thy God, my God. Where thou diest will I die and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me and more also if ought that death part me and thee. With great respect I remain yours truly Sara Pea."
That was her answer. They eventually met and soon after were married!
(See how easy it is!)
"A Marriage Proposal"
One day Heber came up to Willard Richards and said, "Willard, I just baptized your wife for you."
Her name was Janetta Richards. Willard was certainly interested.
Willard wrote to Janetta and said,
"Dear Janetta Richards, I have always liked the last name Richards and would not want to change it. How do you feel about it?"
She wrote back and said, "I also have always liked the name Richards and I don't think I would ever like to change it."
That was the proposal and the acceptance.
(See, you guys make everything too difficult!)
Ether 2:19-23
"Then the Lord went away and left him alone. It was as though the Lord were saying to him, 'Look, I gave you a mind to think with, and I gave you agency to use it. Now you do all you can to help yourself with this problem; and then, after you've done all you can, I'll step in to help you.' "This is the principle in action. If you want the blessing, don't just kneel down and pray about it. Prepare yourselves in every conceivable way you can in order to make yourselves worthy to receive the blessing you seek" (How to Receive a Blessing from God," Improvement Era, Oct. 1966, 862-63, 896, Harold B. Lee).
D&C 9:7-9. In these verses, the Lord suggests four important elements to personal revelation. First, we must study it out in our minds. HOW DO WE DO THAT IN MAKING THE MARRIAGE DECISION?
We must ask, in prayer, if it is right. By inference, if we are asking if it is right, it means that we have studied it out enough to believe that we have found the right or best answer. We are seeking a confirmation of our decision.
If it is right we will feel that it is right, with a burning in the bosom, a feeling of peace, or by some other way in which the Spirit confirms truth to us.
If our decision is wrong, we will have a stupor of thought.
Revelation is a privilege that must be earned. Our ability to receive revelation on important matters will be related to our personal worthiness, the degree to which we are keeping the bad out of our lives and keeping the good in. The better we live, the more receptive we will be.
Elder Richard G. Scott said:
"Not all our prayers will be answered as we wish. It is not always easy to know the will of the Lord, yet there are some things we can be certain of. He will never ask us to do anything that is not completely in harmony with His teachings. We cannot count on help if we are immoral or otherwise deliberately disobedient unless we sincerely repent. One who prays to know if another is to be the eternal companion while violating in any degree the law of chastity has little hope of receiving confirmation without repentance" (Ensign, November 1991, 85).
The Spirit will never give you permission to do something that is wrong!
Elder Oaks said:
"Each of us is influenced strongly by our own desires and preferences. We may even mistake these influences as the ratification or promptings of the Holy Ghost. It is therefore significant when we feel prompted to do something contrary to our personal preference. That is good evidence of authenticity. Conversely, a feeling that seems to confirm a person in some action he strongly desires should be received with caution and subjected to more than one test of validity" ("I Have A Question," Ensign, June 1983, 27).
What they seem to feel from the spirit differs from their own personal bias. They may resist or be closed-minded to the voice of the Spirit. The prophet, Jacob, gave a warning that is appropriate in such cases.
JACOB 4:10. God is omniscient. We are not. It is not our place to set the terms, to determine the time, the place, and the conditions in which we will meet the right person. Our place is to counsel with the Lord and stay open to the Spirit. Our desire must be to do His will, not ours!
Joseph Smith declared: "I will inform you that it is contrary to the economy of God for any member of the Church, or any one, to receive instruction for those in authority, higher than themselves" (TPJS, 21).
Elder Dallin Oaks said: "Only the president of the Church receives revelation to guide the entire Church. Only the stake president receives revelation for the… stake. The person who receives revelation for the ward is the bishop. For a family, it is the priesthood leadership of the family… When one purports to receive revelation for another person outside his or her own stewardship… you can be sure that such revelations are not from the Lord and you are not bound by it... I have heard of cases where a young man told a young woman she should marry him because he had received a revelation that she was to be his eternal companion. If this is a true revelation, it will be confirmed directly to the woman if she seeks to know. In the meantime, she is under no obligation to heed it. She should seek her own guidance and make up her own mind. A man can receive revelation to guide his own actions, but he cannot properly receive revelation to direct hers. She is outside his stewardship" ("Revelation," 1981-82 BYU Fireside and Devotional Speeches, 25).
Sometimes couples are guilty of trying to force revelation to come according to their timetable, rather than the Lord's. For example, suppose you are graduating and trying to decide where to go to school next year. You have met someone you think might be the right one, but the confirmation has not come yet. If you are not careful, you may be misled if you try to force the Lord to give you the answer by the weekend.
Revelation must come according to the Lord's will, not ours; in His time, not ours; and in his way, not ours. And, it will come only when the Lord is satisfied that we have done our part.
Elder Boyd K. Packer said:
"It is not wise to wrestle with revelation with such insistence as to demand immediate answers to our liking. You cannot force spiritual things… Do not be impatient to gain great spiritual knowledge. Let it grow, help it grow, but do not force it or you will open the way to be misled" ("The Candle of the Lord," Ensign, Jan. 1983, 53).
President Kimball said:
"I believe if one wants revelation enough to crave them beyond [what is appropriate or righteous]…eventually he will get [them]…but they may not come from God. I am sure that there can be many spectacular things performed, because the devil is very responsive…And so he gives strange experiences…and revelations" (Spencer W. Kimball, 458).
Sometimes in making important decisions, a person can become too preoccupied with the decision to the point that he cannot eat, sleep, study, or meet his obligations.
Elder Packer said that the "things of the spirit need not-indeed, should not-require our uninterrupted time and attention. Ordinary work-a-day things occupy most of our attention. And that is as it should be" ("Revelation in a Changing World," Ensign, Nov. 1989, 14).
A fourth purpose of engagement is as a final testing of the relationship. It gives you the chance to be sure that the decision is right. It is a time to watch for possible danger signals including the following:
Frequent quarrels. Any relationship is subject to some misunderstanding and difference of opinion. But, if over a period of time quarrels continue, you should evaluate the relationship. Do the quarrels have a pattern? Do certain events or subjects tend to result in a quarrel? Are certain subjects avoided altogether? If the courtship and engagement is characterized by a lot of conflict, you can bet the marriage will be also.
A pattern of breaking up and making up. It is a danger signal if a couple breaks up and makes up several times during the engagement. The patterns we begin in dating and engagement set the stage for how we will act in marriage.
A strong desire to change the other person!
If you see many things that need to be changed in the other person, you better think twice about this relationship. In my experience I have found it to be often true that women marry believing men will change and men marry believing that women will never change.
Does the relationship really bring out the best in you?
As President Benson noted: "In his [or her] presence, do you think your noblest thoughts, do you aspire to your finest deeds, do you wish you were better than you are?" (Ensign, May 1988, 53). This should be even more true during the engagement period than it was during the dating period.
"How do you choose a wife [or husband]? I've heard a lot of young people say, 'I've got to get a feeling of inspiration. I've got to get some revelation. I've got to fast and pray and get the Lord to manifest to me whom I should marry.'
Well, maybe it will be a little shock to you, but never in my life did I ever ask the Lord whom I ought to marry. It never occurred to me to ask him. I went out and found the girl I wanted…I evaluated and weighed the proposition, and made the decision that seemed right. Now if I had done things perfectly, I'd have done some counseling with the Lord, which I didn't do…A more perfect thing to have done would have been to counsel with him relative to the decision and get a spiritual confirmation that the conclusion, which I by my [own] agency and faculties had arrived at, was the right one…
"You [must] go to work and use the agency and power and ability that God has given you… You make up your own mind, and the, to be sure that you don't error, you counsel with the Lord…And if you get the sweet, surety that comes from the Holy Spirit, you know you've reached the right conclusion; but if there's anxiety and uncertainty in your heart, the you'd better start over, because the Lord's hand is not in it. And you're not getting the ratifying seal that, as a member of this Church who has the gift of the Holy Ghost, you are entitled to receive" (Bruce R. McConkie, the "Agency or Inspiration—Which?" –Speeches of the Year, 1972-73, 111, 115-16).
Elder Oaks said:
"Each of us is influenced strongly by our own desires and preferences. We may even mistake these influences as the ratification or promptings of the Holy Ghost. It is therefore significant when we feel prompted to do something contrary to our personal preference. That is good evidence of authenticity. Conversely, a feeling that seems to confirm a person in some action her strongly desires should be received with caution and subjected to more than one test of validity" ("I Have A Question," Ensign, June 1983, 27).
Elder Richard G. Scott noted:
"It is vitally important to recognize that [besides answering 'yes' or 'no'] the Lord also responds in a third way to prayer by withholding an answer… Why would He do that? He is our perfect Father. He loves us beyond our capacity to understand. He knows what is best for us. He sees the end from the beginning. He wants us to act to gain needed experience. When He answers yes, it is to give us confidence. When He answers no, it is to prevent error. When he withholds an answer, it is to have us grow through faith in Him, obedience to His commandments, and a willingness to act on truth. We are expected to assume accountability by acting on a decision that is consistent with His teachings without prior confirmation. We are not to sit passively waiting for an answer or murmur because the Lord has not spoken. We are to act." (Learning to Recognize Answers to Prayer, Ensign, Nov. 1989, 31-32).
Line Upon Line, Precept Upon Precept
In his devotional message to the students, President Bednar told students that answers to their questions and concerns will come "line upon line, precept upon precept" (2 Nephi 28:30).
He said, "I believe many of us unknowingly accept a faulty assumption about the Lord's pattern. And this faulty assumption then produces erroneous expectations about how we receive spiritual knowledge.
And that faulty assumption and our misinformed expectations ultimately hinder our ability to recognize and respond to the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
"Let me suggest that many typically assume we will receive an answer or a prompting to our earnest prayers and pleadings. And we also frequently expect that such an answer or a prompting will come immediately and all at once. Thus, we tend to believe the Lord will give us the big answer quickly and all at one time. However, the pattern repeatedly described in the scriptures suggest we receive '… line upon line, precept upon precept…,' or in other words, many small answers over a period of time. Recognizing and understanding this pattern is an important key to obtaining inspiration and help from the Holy Ghost."
President Bednar continued:
"Most typically we receive a series of seemingly small and incremental spiritual impressions and nudges, which in totality constitutes the desired confirmation about the correctness of the path which we are pursuing" (Pres. Bednar, Devotional at BYU-Idaho, just days after 9-11).
Now, let's suppose you are trying to make the marriage decision according to these tests. You feel you are doing all you can, yet an answer hasn't come. What might it mean? Consider the following four statements:
First, Elder Dallin Oaks said:
"The spirit of the Lord is not likely to give us revelations on matters that are trivial. I once heard a young woman in a testimony meeting praise the spirituality of her husband, indicating that he submitted every question to the Lord. She told how he accompanied her shopping and would not even choose between different brands of canned vegetables without making his selection a matter of prayer. That strikes me as improper. I believe the Lord expects us to use the intelligence he has given us to make these kinds of choices" (Revelation," BYU Speeches of the Year, 1981, 26).
Second, Elder Oaks said: "I suggest that there is not a right or wrong [answer] to every question. To many questions, there are only two wrong answers or two right answers…No answer is likely to come to a person who seeks guidance in choosing between two alternatives that are equally acceptable to the Lord…Either answer is right" (Revelation," BYU Speeches of the Year, 1981, 26).
Third, Elder Boyd K. Packer said: "Sometimes you may struggle with a problem and not get an answer. What could be wrong? It may be that you are not doing anything wrong. It may be that you have not done the right things long enough. Remember you cannot force spiritual things" (Ensign, Nov. 1979 21).
Revelation is like a traffic light!
Sometimes we get a green light, a definite "yes."
Sometimes we get a red light, a definite "no."
But, many times we seem to get nothing more than a yellow light, as if to say, "O.K. Proceed with caution."
As Elder Scott pointed out, at times like that we should move forward in the best way we know how.
Once the confirmation from the Lord comes, a couple will choose to get engaged. The engagement period is an important one for several reasons:
ADJUSTMENT OR PUBLICITY. All of those who love and care about us are involved in an engagement. Our parents gain a new child, and we acquire a new set of parents. Our brothers and sisters gain and new brother or sister, and our friends acquire a new friend. Engagement can give everyone a chance to adjust, accept the decision, and get to know and love your partner. Formal engagements also let's everyone know that you are both "taken" and no longer available for dates.
PERSONAL GROWTH. Engagements allow couples the opportunity to mature and grow with greater intensity. This occurs through deeper discussions and spending quality time together and should involve all of the areas we have discussed: the spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional, and physical.
Marriage preparation requires a significant amount of preparation and planning. Until a couple becomes engaged, there are many questions, issues, and details that are not discussed. But once the decision is made to marry, the couple must face some of those important decisions.
For example:
1. How long will the engagement be?
2. Where will we live?
3. Will he work?
4. Will she work?
5. How will we budget our money?
6. How will the household responsibilities be divided?
7. Should we have a baby right away?
8. Should we get insurance, and if so, what kind?
9. How often should we visit relatives after we are married?
10. What will we do if the in-laws interfere too much?
11. How much independence from each other should we have? How much independence should we have from parents? Should we accept money or other gifts?
12. Will we need two cars? One car? A bike?
13. What will we do about furniture? Appliances?
14. Should we have a reception? If so, how big? Where should it be held? Who should we invite?
15. What should we do for a honeymoon? Time? Days?

You know what? No.
I won't list a lot of the jokes in "Grown Ups 2" because pathetic cracks about Chia pets and "Droolio Iglesias" speak for themselves. I won't describe all the ways the characters mock unattractive women and objectify beauties while suggesting it's normal to fear your wife. And I'm not having another online debate with a reader who insists lazy, misogynistic, pointless Adam Sandler movies epitomize innocent, stupid fun. Stupid is fine; to mistake crass and hateful for laid-back entertainment is its own, vile brand of dumb.

Roma Gourmet Sausage moved their operation to the current state of the art location in East Baltimore in 2008 after Al Pecora sold his interest in A.V. Imports, a wine and liquor importing company that was the catalyst of producing such wines as Luna di Luna, Aristicratico and many other major brands that are still available in the U.S. market today.
His initial idea of venturing into the sausage business came after visiting his nephew Vincenzo Rota, in La Sila, Calabria, Italy. The production facility, San Vincenzo Salumi, owned by Vincenzo is very modern producing the highest quality sausage, salamis and many other gourmet pork products. San Vincenzo Salumi can be readily found throughout Europe, Russia and Canada. Al imported this vision to the U.S. with the desire to emulate the Calabrese Sausage philosophy.
The mission of Roma Gourmet Foods is to be an industry leader in the production and distribution of premium, hand-crafted sausage products. Roma Gourmet Foods will offer its customers a variety of the finest sausages. We will provide our customers with a superior level of service, utilizing Roma Gourmet Foods' skilled production, management, sales and marketing teams while we strive to exceed our customers' expectations, as we maintain our ongoing commitment to quality, service, and education.
At Roma Gourmet Sausage we never use organ meats or meat by-products in any of our sausage. We receive daily deliveries from our meat purveyor and hand trim all meat before making our sausage. Hand trimming ensures that Roma Gourmet Sausage always exceeds the USDA standard for leanness in our product. All of our herbs and spices are stored in a temperature controlled spice room to guarantee peak flavor. The herbs and spices are blended by hand before marrying with the select cuts of pork. The Roma Gourmet Sausage facility operates under continuous oversight of a resident USDA inspector.

Showing 7 out of 9 products:
ANP acts as an anti-permeability factor by inhibiting the signaling functions of vascular permeability factor (show VEGFA Proteins) and by preserving the endothelial cell tight junctions functional morphology
Atrial natriuretic peptide and vasopressin (show AVP Proteins)-presence in the ciliary body of eye in the pig (sus domesticus).
ANP and BNP gene expression differs considerably between cardiac chambers in the first 72 hours of life in healthy piglets, resembling the transition from fetal to neonate circulation. The cardiac gene expression does not explain plasma concentrations.
Up-regulation of ANP and a reduction in a ratio of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2a and phospholamban (show PLN Proteins) in failing myocardium are observed in a porcine model of tachycardia.
Arial natriuretic factor (ANF (show HESX1 Proteins)) and N-terminal proANF may be better suited than brain natriuretic peptide (show BNP Proteins) as markers of cardiac preload during the development and treatment of acute heart failure.
Stimulation of prepubertal granulosa cells with FSH (show BRD2 Proteins) resulted in a moderate expression of ANP. When FSH (show BRD2 Proteins) treatment was followed by LH, the pronounced expression of ANP was observed in all cells.
These studies support the therapeutic potential of dual inhibition of NEP (show MME Proteins) and ACE (show ACE Proteins) in the prevention of increased arterial ECP (show ECP Proteins) and atherogenesis which may be linked to the ANP/cGMP system.
Diabetes may modify the vascular actions of ANP in isolated rabbit carotid arteries and the mechanisms involved in these actions; ANP induces relaxation of precontracted carotid arteries, which is lower in diabetic than in control rabbits.
The study suggests that Beta1-adrenergic receptor activation decreases atrial natriuretic peptide release via cAMP- and Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+)-dependent mechanisms.
ANP in plasma is increased in horses with heart disease associated with altered left-sided chamber dimensions and/or function.
Cardiac ANP was increased in horses with mitral regurgitation (MR) and cardiac troponin levels were low in healthy and MR affected horses.
Data (including data from studies in knockout mice) suggest expression of ANP/BNP/GC-A (show GUCA1A Proteins) (atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide (show BNP Proteins), and guanylyl cyclase-A (show NPR1 Proteins)) is important in embryonic neovascularization and organogenesis.
Goalpha plays a role in ANF sorting during intracellular vectorial transport and with the presence of a mechanism that preserves the molar relationship between cellular ANF and BNP.
ANP prevents cancer metastasis by inhibiting the adhesion of tumor cells to inflamed endothelial cells
Expression of NPPA splice variants is differentially regulated in the developing mouse heart.
NPPA acts on the NPR1 receptor, is expressed in mouse dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia, and the spinal cord.
Natriuretic peptides buffer renin (show REN Proteins)-dependent hypertension.
Data indicate that the identified stress-responsive enhancer of Nppa and Nppb (show BNP Proteins), the most common markers of heart failure, is a 650-bp fragment within 50 kb of the Nppa and Nppb (show BNP Proteins) loci.
Absence of maternal atrial natriuretic peptide leads to gestational hypertension and adaptive changes fetal cardiac growth and blood pressure regulation.
This study investigated a novel mechanism of vascular barrier protection by ANP via modulation of GEF-H1 (show ARHGEF2 Proteins) function.
Data indicate that NRG-1beta up-regulated the gene expressions of Nkx2.5, GATA4, alpha-actin, MLC-2v, and ANF in a time-dependent regulation of ErbB/ERK1/2 pathways.

Prodipe specialist microphones have landed at AC Audio! We're really excited about these as they offer specific mic placements for various instrument types. Their GL21 acoustic guitar microphone clips on to the guitar via the sound hole without you having to have the 'do I stick anything to my guitar' dilemma. The microphone placement has been carefully thought about and you can tell when looking at how the mics attach to the instuments themselves, in particular the Cello and Violin. At an affordable price (starting at £89.99), the Prodipe instrument microphones make recording and performing so much more simpler and enables you to leave that heavy microphone stand at home! Read more about Prodipe mics.

With what appeared to be a self-inflicted bullet hole just above his left temple and wearing a hospital gown and handcuffs, the man indicted for shooting his wife to death was charged with murder last Thursday night.
Timothy Lee Branson, 48, of 1600 Ballard Road was taken from his hospital bed at the University of Kentucky Medical Center to the Kentucky State Police barracks in Frankfort to be charged with murder and two counts of wanton endangerment.
Branson allegedly shot his wife, Modena Branson, 50, during a March 5 domestic dispute, according to police reports.
Consumers may be ask "where's the beef?" more often after reports surfaced about the use of the meat filler dubbed "pink slime," and its connections to ground beef served and purchased in restaurants, grocery stores and even school lunches.
Following last week's report by ABC News, reports stated that the USDA plans to purchase 7 million pounds of the meat filler known as "pink slime" from vendor Beef Products Inc. to mix with ground meat shipped through the national school lunch program.
The madness is not limited to March. Never has been.
And it certainly was not 44 years ago when Anderson County's two junior high teams met on the basketball court.
That's right, two.
Western and Anderson Junior High.
And Western won. Both times.
Beating what was expected to be a junior high powerhouse might have been the highlight of a stellar season for first-year coach Gary Stinnett.
"I should have quit coaching then," Stinnett says with a laugh.
ESPN qualifier set for Wild Turkey Trace
Who has the best golfing twosome in the area? How does that team stack up against the best from other locales?
The ESPN National Golf Challenge qualifying tournament will be held at Wild Turkey Trace Golf Course on Saturday, June 23. First tee time is set for 1 p.m.
The event is being promoted by ESPN and The Golf Channel.
The tournament is set up for two-somes which can be two women, two men or one man and one woman with an entry fee of $80 per player.
Anderson County High School students recently participated in the Kentucky State Indoor Archery Championships, held at Chickasaw Archery Club in Shepherdsville. Frederick won first place in the Youth Female Freestyle Division and was awarded the Jake and Vi Thompson Award for high overall female youth shooter. She scored a 294 out of a possible 300 points.
Gamble took first place in the Youth Female Bowhunter Division with a score of 260.
Anderson County resident Kenny Nash has been named the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement Officers' Sportsman of the Year for District 6.
The award was voted on by conservation officers from around the 17-county district. It is given to an individual that has stood out during the year, according to a news release. "The individual is someone that purchases hunting and fishing licenses annually, is a landowner, (is) involved in outdoor events and assists conservation officers in their area in any way."
It was only natural for Anderson County girls' basketball players to play the "What if?" game at last week's state tournament in Bowling Green.
After all, the Lady Bearcats defeated Lincoln County, a team that made the Final Four. They also defeated Montgomery County, which advanced to the quarterfinals.
"We had a lot of successes this year," Anderson coach Tony Kays said Monday. "It is natural to compare teams and say, 'We beat this one' or 'We could play with that one.'"
This time, the thrill is Will's.
And it is a big thrill at that.
Anderson County native Will Carlton has been selected as one of the 60 greatest players in the history of the 75-year history of the NAIA. He will be honored at halftime of the association's national championship game in Kansas City, Mo., next Tuesday, March 20.
Do you think your bracket can beat sports editor John Herndon's? If so, be sure to enter The Anderson News' bracket contest. If you do beat John, you will be entered in a drawing where five winners will be announced. See the March 14 edition of The Anderson News for details.
Well now. Looks like Kentucky is human after all.
But really, did it really change anything when the Wildcats lost to Vanderbilt?
I don't think for a minute that UK needed to lose one, nor do I think John Calipari let them lose one. But what he said before the SEC Tournament is right: What happened in New Orleans really didn't matter.

Enjoy views of the Pyrenees, walk on its misty mountains and gorgeous valley, or even visit its ski resorts just 1.5 hour's drive away - in the summer simply go walking in the clean mountain air.
The ancient, unspoilt towns of Sauveterre (5mins) and walled Navarenx (15mins), apart from their historical interest, also provide bases for white water rafting.
WiFi facility for general e-mail and Internet use is available 24 X 7 to guests .

Ideal location and place for a Spring Summer or early Autumn holiday break - Although central heating is installed, Winters can be a bit cold in this stone house.. so December-March is mainly only for the brave!

Some recent quotes from past guests:
"....an exceptional part of France"
"We thought Camu, Sauveterre, Salies and the surrounding area were wonderful. It all felt like the true France"
"many many thanks for what was a really wonderful stay in your Little House in Camu- loved the peace & calm and the garden was perfect for us all"
"I strangely slept perfectly there!...while our boys totally loved the big garden and the river rafting was a massive hit"
"mightly impressed with your restoration work at The Little House and would not hesitate to stay again"

Further details indoors
Fully renovated from 2005 onwards and meticulously converted by the owners, the house now offers a traditional old-style Bearnaise environment for an enchanting and comfortable country based holiday retreat. Ideally suited to one or two week breaks between Spring and Autumn.
A great heavy old door leads onto original Ardoise slate flooring, wood burner fireplace, stone walls and open beams – all help create a traditional but very comfortable setting in the lounge and old Bearnais fireside areas. The house has discrete central heating and all the added modern facilities expected for today- WiFi for e-mail and Internet connection, CD Music player, DVD and TV set to France's TNTsat- but has English News (BBC World News etc;) crucially without spoiling the internal or external traditional 'country style' feel of the inside and outside of the building.
There is a well serviced family kitchen providing all modern comforts- dishwasher, electric hob & oven and low level fridge and freezer. But arranged in a country style with oak worktop, hand made tiling on the floor and a generous French cabinet for storage of food, utensiles and crockery. A wood and charcoal based barbeque is also supplied to eat al fresco in the garden. For your convenience there are always basic supplies provided -we ask guest to use, but please top up or replace on a 'like for like' basis. Thanks.
The main, double bedroom is cosy, very French…. and traditionally simple! With painted wooden floors and open oak beams throughout the upstairs.. The second bedroom has antique bedsteads with new mattresses made to fit - one 3/4 (120cm) size bed and one large single (100cm) making it a flexible and comfy room for either children or guests.
The whole house retains an authentic, rough & country style throughout but with many more modern touches and home comforts than you would perhaps expect! The spectacular, spacious bathroom has wood everywhere as well as a spacious rain shower cubicle, massive bath and stone based sink- covering all tastes and preferences.
Récemment restaurée méticuleusement par les propriétaires, la maison offre maintenant une atmosphère dans le pur style traditionnel béarnais pour un séjour des vacances confortables .
Une grosse porte ancienne conduit par un dallage original en ardoise jusqu'à la cheminée, les murs de pierre et les poutres apparentes créent une ambiance traditionnelle mais confortable dans le séjour et le coin du feu béarnais. La maison a un chauffage central discret et tous les aménagements modernes disponibles aujourd'hui ne changent pas le «style campagnard» traditionnel aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur du bâtiment.
Further details outdoors
There is a large walled garden with a number of trees and 2 terraces (one covered ). Ample parking within grounds and metal gates open onto a small, quiet country lane which leads down to the mountain river. Swimming in the river is braising but wonderful fun! It's a short car ride (or nice walk) to the nearby town (Sauveterre de Bearn 2km).Other nearby towns / cities are Oloron, Pau, Salies de Bearn and Biarritz.
Cycling is a very pleasant and we find popular way for folk to get about locally and to see the area and even get to local shops and restaurants.
So we now have up to 4 (adult sized) very nice new bikes available for guests- stored in the barn- and these can be used on or off roads. But we ask guests to look after them and repair them (if possible) or let us know if they damage anything please!!
If you want to use bikes ask our Manager and if you need more or smaller bikes for those little people- do ask us as we may be able to help there too!
Location description from owner
The Bearn region
There are three major mountain rivers (Gaves) in the area- Gave de Pau, Le Saison and Le Gave d'Oloron. All stem from the ice melting in the Pyrenees Mountains (South) and rise in the Easter to impressive heights and speeds- providing a perfect settings for fisherman and summer season rafters.
Within an hour you can drive to some of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Aquitaine and the South West - here are some suggestions:
Sauveterre -the local town has a 12th C. Church, a famous 11th C. bridge and monastry walls. There are a few basic shops, a helpful tourist office and bank in the square, (Market is Saturday) and a terrific boulangerie - best croissant in the area!. Enjoy the spectacular views from the terrace by the church then follow the steep path down to the riverside, for a splash in the Gave or go across to the little island.
While around 15-20 minutes drive away the medieval spa town of Salies-de-Bearn is an enchanting and memorable visit- it has a Casino, Salt Spa and many interesting local arts and craft shops and events- Market day is Thursday.
The glorious Pyrenees hills and mountains offer walking, skiing and beautiful spots for a simple picnic and are home to unique wildlife including vultures and even a few bears! In the mountains pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostello in Spain are a common sight along with classic Pyreneean Dogs- famous as mountain guides!
Then there is surfing at the spectacular, long beaches of the Landes coast, fashionable Biarritz with it's famous surfing competitions and the charminfg fishing port of St Jean-de Luz - all about 1 hours drive from the house.
Bordeaux is just 2 hours away and offers one of France's most elegant and spirited centres and of course there are vineyards selling 'direct' throughout the region. Try the rosé of Salies-de-Bearn, the wonderful whites of Jurancon near Pau or the deep, rich red of our local Madiran.

"Great place for R&R"
Beautifully restored cottage with all the amenities you could need. Perfection location to get away from it all and enjoy the tranquillity of the French countryside. Large garden is great for sunbathing and games.
"Beautiful house in a serene location."
Wonderful traditional house in a quiet hamlet but near to a larger village for daily croissant trips! The house seams very old but is very comfortable with all mod cons. It has a large private garden with a patio area and is only a few minutes walkl from a lovely river which we enjoyed swimming in and rafting on. Highly recommend.

This is a short piece I wrote for my English AP class meant to describe our favorite thing.
It began with the initial leap.
The opening of the novel
and turning of the pages
that sent me tumbling from reality
into the great unknown.
I plunged deep beneath the surface
of eloquent descriptions and witty dialogue
that were caught between the must and stains
of timeless endeavors.
Suspense pulled me upwards,
so that I could know the solution.
But once the last page was through,
the depths where my thoughts had reigned
seemed more inviting.
This reality seems so jarring,
an unpleasant ray of light.
But my senses adjust,
refreshed by the plunge,
and changed by the journey.

The Debate on Fox Hunting
€ 48,99
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen

Beschreibung?I was interested in fox hunting because it is fascinating how a blood sport could survive till 2005 in a country where the first animal welfare organisation was founded as early as 1824. The thesis examines the social and cultural changes that have taken place in Great Britain, with special regard to the development of sport and the various ideologies about sports. I will illustrate these changes in perception through fox hunting, showing how they led to the debate and finally to a complete ban on this traditional sport.?
Through four chapters I will present the ideologies about sport and the arguments of both the pro- and the anti-hunter side. The last, fifth chapter shows some possible ways by which fox hunting might be brought to an English lesson for foreign students. The thesis can be beneficial to students having special cultural interest and teachers of English language.

Dalbello KR Two Pro I.D. Ski Boots - Men's - 2012/2013 - $699.95
The all-mountain Dalbello KR Two Pro I.D. ski boots offer you the ability to tweak the fit to your exacting, powder-hungry, hard-charging expectations. Completely redesigned boot mold enhances power, precision and comfort by matching 4 critical fit points on your feet. Offering a precise foothold and a progressive forward flex, 3-piece shell optimizes responsiveness for today's relatively short, wide skis. Separate cuff, shell and tongue sections are joined together to create a smooth forward flex with precise side-to-side support. Enhancing side-to-side response and providing a snugger wrap, bi-injected cuffs feature stiff plastic on sides and soft plastic on the strap that wraps around shins. The Dalbello KR Two Pro I.D. ski boots perform especially well with tradionally cambered and modern rockered skis thanks to an upright cant and cuff angle. 2 interchangeable tongues let you choose between stiff and medium flex to fine-tune responsiveness and sensitivity; installed tongue is stiff flex. Anatomically shaped, liners offer a low-volume, performance fit that improves sensitivity and responsiveness. High-density EVA foam is lighter and warmer than standard foams and can be shaped to accommodate specific fit issues. Liners of the Dalbello KR Two Pro I.D. must be custom formed at a specialty ski shop with equipment that works specifically with Dalbello boots. For further information please contact your REI specialty ski shop. Slide-In system places smooth, slick fabric on the inside of the cuffs to allow your feet easy entry and exit. Expanded-volume toe boxes give your toes wiggle room up front. Cable instep buckle on each boot minimizes foot sliding, heel lift and shell distortion while flexing, and a specialized adjustment fine-tunes the cable tension. 3 microadjustable aluminum buckles on each boot create a precision fit; inverted bottom buckles won't come loose from contact with snow. - $699.95

LONDON: British government bond futures rose to a one-week high on Wednesday, as safe-haven assets were supported by fresh concerns about the US fiscal cliff and comments from a Bank of England official.
The December gilt future settled 83 ticks higher at 120.15 after hitting a nine-day high of 120.31 set earlier in the session, and was broadly in line with German Bund futures which settled 72 ticks higher.
Ten-year gilt yields fell 9 basis points to 1.76 percent. Their spread versus Bund yields was 2 basis points tighter at just under 40 basis points.
Investors were largely focused on talks in the United States to avert the "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts due to kick in next year and which could tip the world's biggest economy into recession and depress the global outlook.
"Gilts are significantly higher ... it's partly a move that's in line with other core sovereign bond markets on nerves about the fiscal cliff potentially not being resolved," said John Wraith, fixed income strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research.
Comments from the Bank of England's Charlie Bean also weighed on investors' minds.
In an interview with Bloomberg News, Bean said further quantitative easing gilt purchases could be an effective way to boost the economy in future.
"We haven't closed the door forever on further asset purchases and it would be incorrect to say that we've decided they're ineffective at the current juncture," Bean said.
A Reuters poll published on Wednesday showed economists saw a 40 percent chance of more asset purchases by the BoE, down from 45 percent two weeks earlier, and none expect more asset purchases after next week's policy meeting.
Bean's comments broadly fit the tone of remarks from BoE Governor Mervyn King and other members of the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee who addressed British legislators on Tuesday.
The main domestic focus for investors on Thursday will be October consumer credit figures, as well as the BoE's half-yearly Financial Stability Report and news conference from King.
The BoE released its mortgage approvals data earlier than expected on Wednesday, which showed a rise to 52,982 in October from the previous month's figure of 50,415.
Next week's Autumn Statement from Britain's finance minister George Osborne is also a key point of interest for markets.
"It may result in changes to the fiscal stance which would have a direct impact on the monetary stance and the outlook for gilts," said Wraith. "Also, any revisions to the borrowing numbers change the gilt remit and can have an influence on perceptions about the UK sovereign rating."

Havana, Jun 5: Even though Cuba did not qualify for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2010, Cuban television, for the first time in history, is all set broadcast all the matches of the World Cup live.
"Although the football World Cup has been broadcast fully in Cuba since 1994, this will be the first time that every match is broadcast live. Something which will, by the way, be available for very few nations," the Cuban Communist Party daily said.
When the matches will be played in South Africa, the venue for the World Cup 2010, it will be early morning in Cuba due to the time difference.
Besides football, there are reports that Cuban may be Volleyball World League live. Cuba will be playing in the Volleyball tournament.

Whenever it was that they first took hold of our plume wands,
In thé brush,
The straight green shoots of some lucky one
195 Drawing toward them,
They held them fast.
Holding in our hands
Plume wands ordained for our two fathers,
202 Thus we came to evening.
With the massed cloud robe
Of him who is our grandfather, Male turkey,
205 With eagle's thin cloud wing, With the striped cloud wings
And massed cloud tails
Of all the birds of summer,
210 With these four times wrapping our plume wands
We gave them human form;
With the one who is our grandfather,
Giant yucca,
Even a roughly made thread,
215 Even a dirty thread,
With this four times encircling them,
We tied it about their bodies;
With our mothers,
Black paint woman,
Clay woman,
220 With their flesh four times we clothed our plume wands all over with flesh,
Putting flesh on our plume wands We gave them human form.
Then when yet a little space remained
Ere our sun father went in

Brown Mountain forest
|Brown Mountain
Old growth forest on Brown Mountain
|Highest point
|985 m (3,232 ft)
|Victoria, Australia
|Parent range
|Great Dividing Range
|First ascent
|Easiest route
|Legges Road
The Brown Mountain forest is located in East Gippsland, Victoria (Australia), and is notable for containing large tracts of old growth forest, including over fifty shining gum trees estimated to be over 300 years old.
The eucalypt forest provides key habitat for rare and threatened species such as the powerful owl, the spotted quoll, mainland Australia's largest marsupial carnivore, and the long-footed potoroo. Other animals of note that inhabit the area include: yellow-bellied glider, southern boobook, mountain brushtail possum, sambar deer (introduced), greater glider and sugar glider.[1]
Flora and logging activity[edit]
Trees in Brown Mountain are at least 500 years old, according to a radiocarbon dating carried out by University of Waikato. The test was done on a tree felled in 2009, and is possibly the first test of its kind on an Australian tree. The test results said there was an 84% chance the tree was between 500 and 600 years old. Previously no definitive ages could be placed on the old growth trees of the area. The results may have impacts on the management of the area.[2]
Some parts of Brown Mountain are already protected within the Errinundra National Park, other sections of forest designated as old growth by the Department of Sustainability and Environment between Legges Road and the Errinundra Road are under the control of VicForests, with logging being allowed.
The logging of the forest has been contentious due to the impact on rare and threatened species, the impact on water supplies, the associated carbon emissions.[3] Environmentalists have called for the unprotected Brown Mountain forest area to be incorporated into the National Park reserve system planned to link the Errinundra National Park with the Snowy River National Park.
In 2008, logging recommenced in the Brown Mountain forest, despite Labor Party policy statements during the 2006 Victorian election campaign that they would protect Victoria's last remaining stands of old growth forest available for logging.[4]
Environment Minister Gavin Jennings confirmed that logging the Brown Mountain forest was contentious in his answer to questions in parliament from Greens MP Sue Pennicuik about the logging in progress.
- "Is there activity currently being undertaken in East Gippsland that is a source of contention in relation to the appropriateness of it being allocated for harvesting activity and being subject to protest activity?', I can confirm that that is absolutely happening."[5]
East Gippsland's Eucalyptus nitens forest biomass contains at least 700 (and possibly up to 2000) tonnes carbon per hectare ("green carbon") above ground.[6] Recovery of the carbon debt from clearing intact natural eucalypt forests through afforestation or reforestation takes more than 100 years.[7] Research into the age class structure of Brown Mountain's trees and the forest's carbon capacity is ongoing. 85% of the wood harvested in Victoria's forests is converted to woodchip (mostly for use in paper), sawdust and waste.
A temporary injunction on logging was ordered on September 14, 2009 by Justice Jack Forrest, after the environmental group Environment East Gippsland sued state-owned timber agency VicForests in the Supreme Court, arguing it would be failing its duty to protect native animals if it logged the two remaining coups as planned.[8]

In the Mirror
In those moments between sleep and awake, I see you.
I see you with perfect clarity. And then I hear you.
Your voice rings in my ears, causing my heart to leap.
Your smile tells me a thousand stories, while I sit without a care.
And in those moments, between sleep and awake, I am able to stop and stare.
I see how it began. I see the fall. I see all the time that I gave.
I see it coming. The devastating blow to my heart, shaking my mind.
You didn't love me, nor would you ever. You always thought you could do better.
With a suffocating jolt, I jump into the awake. My mind is racing, my heart in full break.
And then I remember. There is an ending. One more beautiful than I had ever thought.
Crawling to a mirror, I'm able to see. This child you cast out isn't the same as before.
Her heart isn't in pieces, her legs are able to carry her.
Her mind is strong, and her eyes are clear. She sees another person now in the mirror.
This one is different, though not many are able to see it.
She's a warrior, a master of herself. She knows who she is, and couldn't be better.
So who is this man? Who is this captive who led her heart wherever he went?
She will never tell you. You will never know what's in her past.
You will never know, every day she wakes up in a frenzy, with her heart in a fray.
You can't know that she dreads the morning, when she drags out of a beautiful nightmare.
Only to strengthen again and to glow with pride, and look her captor in the eye.
As she stands face to face with a mirror, we come to the realization that her captor was never a man. It was never him who held the key. Now we will see.
Her former self stood in the way, she escapes her every day.
To be a heroic being, she must first conquer herself.

Sugar Survey
Timeless Nutrition Tip
A United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) sugar survey shows that sugar consumption has increased almost every year since 1982.
The sources of most of the sugar ingested came from cane and beet sugar, as well as corn syrup and corn sugar.
A large cause of the increase is due to the consumption of sugared soft drinks. The USDA advises people who eat a 2,000-calorie (per day) healthful diet to try to limit their sugar intake to about ten-teaspoons of added sugar daily. (The average American consumes around 20-teaspoons of added sugars daily, according to the USDA).
Calorie-dense foods, which are typically high in sugar and/or fat, contribute to obesity. Consider:
- Between 1976 and 1980 and 1988 to 1994, over-weight rates in teenage boys rose from 5-percent to 12-percent.
- In teenage girls over-weight rates rose from 7-percent to 11-percent, and in adults from 25-percent to 35-percent.
Sugar Content Variables
Baked Goods. Many baked products, beverages, and sweets are commercially sweetened and vary in amount and type of sugar. A beverage, for example, may contain sucrose or high fructose corn syrup or a combination of the two sweeteners. Thus, different brands of a single product may vary in content of glucose, fructose and sucrose.
Milk and Dairy. Sugar content of naturally aged cheeses may differ from processed cheeses because lactose continues to break down as cheese ages.
Fruits and Vegetables. Sugar content of fruits and vegetables varies depending upon cultivar, maturity, storage conditions and crop year. Total carbohydrate content includes other components such as dietary fiber, starch and other unaccounted for sugars and organic acids.
