The public is invited to a free workshop this morning on tips to successfully appeal property taxes and prepare for a hearing. May 31st—this Thursday—is the last day most Texas homeowners can submit an appeal to protest their property taxes. The how-to workshop is being presented by Pat O'Connor of O'Connor and Associates.
"What we want to help people understand, that they can protest their taxes—their property taxes—how to file a property tax protest, how to prepare for and attend the property tax hearing. Average savings are $450 for people who do protest, but only 70 percent of homeowners protest. Seventy-five percent of homeowners who appeal are successful, and the average savings are successful—about $450." Ed: "How do you help people?" "Well, at this function, we're going to show people how they can file their appeal, on market value and unequal appraisal, how to prepare for the hearing, and then what to say at the hearing itself, how to conduct themselves at the hearing. People will walk away with handouts. We're going to have articles on how to handle your property tax appeal, and people will walk away with knowledge on how to file their appeal, when to file it, how to prepare for the hearing and how to conduct themselves at the hearing." Ed: "Okay, are you going to be talking about any legislative stuff that's been going on, the discussion of property taxes?" "We will give an update of some of the changes that have occurred or been propose. Not much is going to happen this legislative session, but the focus will be on how to file a property tax appeal and how to prepare for and attend a hearing."
The workshop is for people considering an appeal of their property taxes, but worry about possible implications, or who don't know how to appeal. O'Connor has created a Web site to address property tax appeals.
"I'm very proud with what we've done with cutmytaxes.com. We have a wealth of free articles and forms that people can access. And it explains, you know, how you file your protest, how to prepare for the hearing and how to attend a hearing. And all the information is free, both the forms and all the articles. We're a property tax consulting firm, and we'll do over a 100,000 property tax appeals this year, so we do appeals for a number of people. But I'm passionate about helping people reduce their property taxes and I feel it's a great service for the community to put information out there—how people can do their own property tax appeal if there's an opportunity to protest your property taxes and reduce your property taxes, that you should. It's your money, not the government's money." Ed: "Okay do you have any idea how many people you're expecting to shop up for this this?" "We expect about a hundred to 200 people, based on what happened last year. A number of people attend and they really appreciate having the insights in terms of how they can file their appeal and prepare for the hearing."
The property tax workshop is at the Sheraton Suites on West Loop South just north of Westheimer. It begins at nine this morning.

The domains of research reflected in this program include restrained eating and dieting, nutritionally-focused interventions for obesity, the role of weight suppression and current dieting in eating disorders, the investigation of "hedonic hunger" and a tool (the Power of Food Scale) to measure it, and the use of various neuroimaging methods to better understand disordered eating and obesity. Dr. Lowe's research lab consists of post-doctoral fellows, several doctoral and masters students, research coordinators and undergraduate co-op students and volunteers. He also collaborates with Drs. Meghan Butryn, Evan Forman and John Kounios on studies of obesity and eating disorders.
Dr. Lowe's research on eating disorders and obesity has been continuously funded by NIH since 1999. He was an associate editor for Journal of Abnormal Psychology and an Executive Editor for Appetite, and he currently serves as an associate editor for Frontiers in Eating Behavior. He has been a consultant to Weight Watchers since 1991 and a member of their Scientific Advisory Board since 1997.

PROVIDENCE – North Smithfield Rep. Brian Newberry branded as "blatant arrogance" what he called the unwillingness of Twin River executives to explain why the state's share of the take from the new table games soon to be installed is limited to 18 percent.
Newberry, the Republican leader in the House of Representatives, was miffed because Twin River representatives who attended a recent hearing declined to speak on a bill he sponsored that would hike the state's share to 20 percent, even when he invited them to testify.
He extended his criticism to include the Democratic heads of the chamber.
Obviously, Twin River refuses to publicly answer questions because they believe they have a backdoor track directly to the House leadership that doesn't require them to answer to anyone else," Newberry said in a written statement. "Rhode Islanders should not stand for this type of inside baseball, particularly when the Democrats are eager to tax working people in order to enrich well connected Twin River executives."
Newberry told The Times, "they cut a deal with leadership last year for 18 percent with the leadership and nobody wants to talk about it."
Under legislation worked out last year, Newberry said, 70 percent of the proceeds from table games would go to expenses and overhead, 18 percent to the state and 12 percent to Twin River for profit.
"The question I have been asking since last year is: Why 18 percent and why 12? Why not 20 and 10, which my bill does? Why not 15 and 15? I don't know, there might be a good reason for it, but no one will publicly answer the question or explain where the figure came from."
Each extra percentage point, Newberry explained, equals about $600,000.
"The Democrats claim they are the party of the working man," he said, "but what they are effectively doing is taxing working people like cab drivers in order to give Twin River's corporate entity more profit."
If the state took a bigger take of the table game profits, he said, there would be no need for the "nickel and dime taxes" like those levied last year on taxi rides and dog grooming. "I don't want to hear about how Democrats care about the little guy after this," Newberry said.
"I don't know what he is talking about," House Speaker Gordon Fox said Thursday. "There is no back door in my office. Back door to the leadership? I don't know what that means."
Fox said the legislation that specifies how the table games take would be divvied "was fully vetted last year. Because of the cost of the table games there is a different rate than there is with the (slot) machines, but there was a full debate on that."
Twin River spokeswoman Patti Doyle said that, while Twin River lobbyists were in the room for the hearing, it is the company's policy that only executives Craig Easton or George Papanier speak at legislative hearings and they were not invited to do so.
"We have complied with every request to either testify before a legislative committee or answer questions but no such invitation was extended to our executive team for this hearing," Doyle said Friday. "Had we been invited, we would have certainly attended."
She said if Newberry wants Twin River to attend a meeting, testify at a hearing or answer questions, "he just has to invite us. We've never turned down an invitation."
As for a back door track to the House leadership, Doyle said, "I don't think that question is worthy to an answer. It looks pretty political to me.
"We participated in an very fair, thorough process last year in defining and refining the tax rate structure, so I have no idea what he is talking about in terms of a back door," Doyle said.

Ilya Bryzgalov anchors Wild in 4-goal shutout of Pittsburgh
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- On a night when two of the biggest stars in the NHL were on the ice, Minnesota's fourth line stepped up to help the Wild continue their surge toward the playoffs.
Cody McCormick had a goal and an assist, and Ilya Bryzgalov stopped all 20 shots he faced in the Wild's 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.
Erik Haula, Mikko Koivu and Stephane Veilleux also scored for the Wild, who have gone 3-0-1 over their past four games. With four games to play, they hold a five-point cushion over Dallas for the seventh playoff spot in the Western Conference.
With Olympic captains Sidney Crosby of Canada playing for the Penguins and Zach Parise of the United States on the ice for the Wild, Minnesota won with huge nights from some of its least-heralded players. The fourth line, centered by McCormick, accounted for two goals and helped keep the Penguins off the board all night.
"When you get contributions from your energy guys like we did tonight with Cody and Veilleux, it goes such a long way for the team," Parise said. "I thought those guys had such a good game tonight when they were out there. They were hitting, they didn't give up anything against, defensively, and they got the big goals."
The Wild jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first period, scoring on three of their first five shots against Pittsburgh rookie goalie Jeff Zatkoff. Haula started the scoring just 1:42 into the game, chipping a backhand shot over Zatkoff's shoulder on the back end of a give-and-go with Matt Moulson.
Haula had spent most of his rookie season on the fourth line, but he's scored twice in two games while filling in for Mikael Granlund, who has missed the past two games with an upper-body injury.
Koivu put Minnesota up 2-0 on its fourth shot of the game, scoring his 11th of the season just under 9 minutes in. Koivu carried the puck across the Penguins' blue line, waited patiently for Parise to crash the net, then flicked a wrist shot past a screened Zatkoff.
Veilleux pushed the lead to 3-0 on a gift goal from Zatkoff. McCormick fed the puck into the slot, where Veilleux corralled it, spun and fired a shot that was headed wide of the net. Zatkoff tried to glove it, but he mishandled the puck and it trickled behind him and into the net.
"They got three goals on six shots in the first period and got out to that lead," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "We were certainly from behind in this game and couldn't generate a lot going the other way."
Bryzgalov posted his second shutout since being acquired by the Wild on March 4. He was steady throughout and made a pair of outstanding saves in the second period to keep the shutout intact.
First he sprawled to his right to rob James Neal with a stick save. A few minutes later, he kicked out his right leg just in time to stuff Lee Stempniak, who was alone at the left post after a rebound off the back boards had bounced out to him.
"We were pretty good defensively, but they had a bit of a push right from the start," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "They had some shots, but he just settled everything right down. He looked so calm and in control and the team definitely feeds off that."
With four games to play, Pittsburgh has all but wrapped up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. So while Saturday's outcome wasn't ideal, Crosby said the Penguins won't overreact to the loss as they prepare for the final week of the season.
"Just play the right way," he said of their approach heading down the stretch. "We know what that is. We've done a pretty good job of it. It's just a matter of making sure we find that urgency here for the last couple."© The Associated Press

Nursing homes during the holiday season tend to see a little more activity than they do during the rest of the year, whether because of families coming to visit loved ones, or local groups or individuals bringing holiday cheer to residents who may not have family living nearby. Taking time to visit with nursing home residents during this time of year can be an immensely rewarding experience for all involved, especially if new or infrequent visitors keep a few simple rules of etiquette in mind:
1. Call the nursing home staff ahead of time to schedule your visit. This not only ensures that you won't be interrupting any previously scheduled mealtimes or activities, it also gives the residents something to look forward to (and prepare for, if necessary.)
2. Be aware of what to expect. Some will have physical disabilities such as trouble with their hearing, eyesight, or ability to move freely. Some residents may have Alzheimer's or dementia and may have trouble remembering people or conversations. If you aren't sure how to respond in certain situations you can ask a member of the nursing staff for advice.
3. Knock before you enter a room. The residents' rooms are their homes and should be treated as their personal and private space. It is polite to ask permission before entering a room or before handling personal objects on display, but residents will likely welcome queries or questions about photos or personal objects, and this is an excellent way to get a conversation started.
4. Be a good listener. Elderly residents have a lot of history and experience to share, and providing a friendly and attentive ear will be gratifying not only to your elderly friend or relative, but will likely be a fascinating experience for you as well.
5. Be aware of your host's energy level. Nursing home residents can often tire quickly and 20-30 minutes may be a tiring visit for them. (On the other hand, if you and your host are in the middle of a conversation or game there is no need to rush through to stick to an arbitrary schedule.)
6. Bring photos, cards, or board games with you. Conversation will not always flow easily and freely, and having a back-up plan such as a deck of cards can dispel awkward silences. You may also consider offering to write or read letters for residents who may have trouble with these activities.
7. Don't promise to visit again unless you truly intend to follow through and can even put it on your calendar right then and there. Nursing home residents may not get many visitors, breaking an appointment can be a heavy disappointment for your friend or relative.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The NFL's lockout remains in place, a federal appeals court ruled Monday. That means the league likely won't get back to business until at least next month — and maybe much longer than that.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the lockout can stay until a full appeal is heard on whether it is legal. That hearing is scheduled for June 3 in St. Louis, before the same panel that issued this 2-1 decision.
The appellate court said it believes the NFL has proven it "likely will suffer some degree of irreparable harm without a stay." The court also cast doubt on the conclusions of U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, who ruled April 25 that the lockout should be lifted to save the players from irreversible damage. The 8th Circuit panel put her decision on hold four days later.
"The league has made a strong showing that it is likely to succeed on the merits," the appellate court majority wrote.
The decision came as NFL owners and players finished their latest round of court-ordered mediation behind closed doors, a session that lasted more than eight hours. This was the fifth day of talks in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, the first since April 20.

Feuding neighbors ready to take dispute to court
ANDERSON - James Garvin, a middle-aged man with a home on Powell Road, says he lives next to "pure evil." His neighbor, an 80-year-old woman who walks with a cane, says she lives next to a man who "acts like a 5-year-old" and has made her life miserable for years.
Garvin and Betty Perry are engaged in a feud that would make the Hatfields and the McCoys blush.
And now, they are taking it to court.
Garvin is seeking $685 to cover medical bills from a June 21 visit to a hospital emergency room. He says Perry sprayed him in the eye with Roundup weed killer and should be charged with assault.
Perry says all Garvin got with that fateful spray was an eyeful of lemon juice and vinegar. She, however, has photos that show scrapes and bruises she got on her arms that day. She says Garvin shook the fence that separates their houses so hard that it knocked her down.
It was the latest incident in a dispute that spans at least four years.
So far, Garvin and Perry have fought over their property lines and the placement of a power pole.
They've fought over water lines that Garvin said caused his property to flood on one side.
They've fought over Perry's security cameras and Garvin's cypress trees.
After her angel trumpet bush mysteriously died a few years ago, Perry put Garvin on trespass notice.
They each think the other has waged a sneaky, secret war against the vegetation in their yards, trying to kill it all.
Perry has lived in her Anderson home since 1963. She lives with, and helps care for, her adult son Derrill and a black dog named Abby. Garvin has lived next to her since the mid-1980s.
They both say their lawyers have advised them to leave each other alone.
And yet, for one reason or another, they can't quite seem to do it.
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office has not filed any charges against Garvin or Perry.
But deputies have responded to a variety of disputes between them over the years, each time filing reports but never finding a judge who would support issuing any warrants.
Garvin says he thinks sheriff's deputies should support his claims against the white-haired Perry, and he makes no apologies for them.
He declined immediate medical treatment the day he was sprayed in the eye, according to a sheriff's deputy's report. But Garvin did seek treatment later, according to a bill from AnMed Health Medical Center.
"I got home at 2:30 or 3 o'clock in the morning after being in the emergency room to get treated," he said. "She's got motion detectors on her house so that when I walk a certain path, her whole house lights up. So after I got home from the hospital that night, I spent the next hour just walking up and down the driveway. I wanted to say: 'Hey, I'm home. I'm all right.'"
Perry has until Aug. 6 to respond to the claim Garvin has filed against her.
She will try to prove that she never sprayed Garvin with Roundup.
She has a faded clipping from the June 22, 2009, issue of "First" magazine that she says she'll use to try to defend herself. Advice on that clipping says that a mixture of lemon juice and vinegar will kill stubborn weeds.
She acknowledges that, at least for a few minutes, the mixture also works on stubborn neighbors.
Perry has a 6-foot fence that separates her home from Garvin's.
But Garvin has done her one better, erecting a 12-foot fence near his driveway that blocks most of the view between his home and hers.
He has also erected a sign that reads: "Bigger Fences Make Better Neighbors."
That may be the only thing on which he and Perry agree.

Easy DIY Patchwork Picnic or Beach Blanket from Fabric Scraps!
Hey friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I spent a good part of it outside, and while enjoying the sun I thought it might be nice to have a cute blanket to lay on... specifically for the beach and picnics. I hurried down to my sewing room and threw this patchwork one together using a bunch of scraps from my scrap fabric basket.
This project is SUPER easy to do and only took me a couple of hours to complete with a sewing machine. It would be a fantastic project for a beginner seamstress or somebody who only feels comfortable sewing straight lines! Which is kind of why I wanted to share it today, because I know a lot of you guys have told me how you don't really know how to sew. If you can sew two pieces of fabric together, you can make this. The best part is, there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to this blanket. I didn't measure anything, and I didn't pre-cut a bunch of fabric. I simply grabbed what I had and started sewing pieces together.
The easiest way to put this together is to just make ROWS of scraps sewn together. Like this:
Lay it out on the floor to get a visual of the size. Once you have all of your rows, just sew them together like so:
When you're done all of your rows, just grab a backing piece (a sheet works well!) or piece together some more fabric scraps and create a square the same size as your finished blanket. Sew the front and back pieces together, good sides IN, and leave about a 12 inch gap at the end. Flip your blanket right-side-in through the gap and sew the gap shut.
That's really all there is to it! If you don't have fabric scraps like I did, you can use old clothes, linens, or t-shirts. The possibilities are endless!
Happy Monday!

This reminds me of my favorite hand sewn patchwork quilt my grandmother made. It was always my go to blanket for picnics or just sitting outside & enjoying the sun.ReplyDelete
Beautiful job!
kelly // apockylypse
I've been wanting to make a patchwork blanket for ages. I think I should sew a few blocks at a time and put them all together when I have enough.ReplyDelete
Such a cute idea :) Really inspired me to get sewing! xxxReplyDelete
My mom makes stuff like this all the time! One day, she just got on a sewing kick and made about four pillowcases and some silverware holders. (For fancier dinners, like at Christmas.) I wish I had enough fabric scraps of my own to make something like this. Granted, the only fabric-like material I have up for grabs right now is felt. I don't think that would be the same...ReplyDelete
I was just about to start a patchwork but was becoming obsessed by measuring & straight lines. I don't care now & I'm looking forward to my project much more now. Thanks :) xReplyDelete

I think I might just have an addiction to Chicken Tortilla Soup recipes. I've posted them a time or two before (you can see my previous recipes HERE or HERE. . . .) But I'm thinking this one might just be my favorite, because it's so incredibly easy! I literally dumped the ingredients in Mrs. Potts in the morning, and eight hours later it was all cooked up for me. (Doesn't that just make you happy?)
It also makes a bunch. My hubby and I enjoyed the leftovers for lunch all week, and I'm thinking I'll still have enough to freeze some more once we're tired of it! So, you'll have dinner tonight, dinner tomorrow night, and dinner in six weeks on a night when you're just too busy to cook. Seriously, what more could you ask for in a recipe?

Fruitport (48-8) won that matchup, and hopes to score another win against East Grand Rapids (42-7) tonight when the two elite programs meet in the Class B state semifinals at Kellogg Arena in Battle Creek.
That match begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by the evening's second Class B semifinal, featuring Marysville (49-9-4) and Tecumseh (54-3-1), which will follow around 7:15.
The winners meet in Saturday's state championship match at 4 p.m.
On Thursday, Rockford advanced to the Class A state final with a convincing win over Temperance Bedford. The Rams will meet Lake Orion, which defeated Clarkston in four games, in Saturday's Class A final.
In Class D action, Wyoming Tri-unity Christian dominated Deckerville to advance to the state finals against Battle Creek St. Philip.
Earlier today, the Class C semifinals feature Monroe St. Mary CC and Delton Kellogg at 2 p.m. and Charlevoix vs. Morley-Stanwood at 3:45.
Coach Nicole Bayle's Trojans are the defending Class B state champions and hope to become the first repeat champs in Class B since Marysville won five straight titles from 2000-2004. Three of those wins came at the expense of Fruitport.
The Trojans have advanced to the state finals six times since 2001, winning state titles in 2005 and 2010.

Pearl mussel conservation in Sweden
Geographical location:
Europe/Middle-East > -Regions- > Baltic Sea
Europe/Middle-East > Northern Europe > Sweden
The freshwater pearl mussel, a protected species in Sweden, has disappeared from almost 40% of the country's rivers as a result of pollution and decline in water quality. As the species is capable of making fine quality pearls, it has historically been exploited.
WWF and its partners are working to improve the health of 21 rivers and streams in southern Sweden in order to conserve the species.
The freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) is a fascinating species that has interested people for centuries. What caught the interest of people at the beginning was its valuable pearls, which led to widespread mussel fishing throughout the country. Today, however, the freshwater pearl mussel is red-listed in Sweden and protected from fishing. The mussel has an exciting biology, with its parasitic stage on brown trout or salmon before it develops into a recognizable mussel. The FPM lives in fresh, running water with clean bottoms, lots of host fish, and protected edge zones of forest along the water. It is a good indicator of clean, living forest water. The biggest reasons behind the mussel's decrease in numbers today include acidification, pollution, inadequate regulation of water flow, and forestry.
Today the FPM is threatened in several regions of the country, and large parts of Europe. Still, Sweden is a core zone for the mussel, which means that we have an international responsibility for the species' long-term survival.
The FPM was selected as a target species as (1) it is a fascinating species (has a parasitic life stage on fish, can live to be 200 years old, can form pearls, can be used as an environmental indicator), (2) the knowledge of the species is good, (3) it has a large distribution within EU and Sweden is a core area for its occurrence within EU, (4) it is an indicator for healthy ecosystems, measures favouring FPM will also favour other species and even terrestrial habitats, (5) it is listed in the Habitat Directive.
Develop and test methods to achieve favourable conservation status for the freshwater pearl mussel (FPM), Margaritifera margaritifera, in Sweden by:
1. Developing planning methods.
2. Taking measures to improve the aquatic and riparian biotopes to improve the conditions for FPM as well as the host fish species.
3. Informing the landowners and other actors within the drainage area.
4. Re-introducing FPM.
5. Summarising the experiences in a manual for conservation of Natura 2000 sites.
WWF, together with 9 partners, will improve the conditions for the freshwater pearl mussel in 21 rivers and streams in southern Sweden. The project is financed to 50% by the EU's LIFE fund. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is co-financier. The 9 partners are the County Administrative Boards in the counties of Västmanland, Örebro, Västra Götaland and Kalmar, the National Forestry Board offices in Värmland-Örebro, Västra Götaland and Östra Götaland, the City of Göteborg, and Karlstad University.
21 Natura 2000 sites were selected by the following criteria: (1) populations of different viability, (2) populations of different sizes, (3) geographical distribution, (4) possibilities for success.
The project includes approx. 500,000 mussels, corresponding to approximately 5% of the Swedish and 3% of the population within EU.

|The Game Story:
|Salisbury, Md - Number one ranked Salisbury jumped to a 10-0 first quarter lead en route to a 16-1 win over
visiting Cabrini in the second round of the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament. Senior Josh Bergey
(4g-2a), sophomore Chris Phillips (3g) and sophomore Justin Smith (2g) each scored twice to fuel SU's opening
run. The Sea Gulls (16-1 overall) advance to Wednesday's national quarterfinals and will host the winner of
Sunday's Lynchburg-Franklin & Marshall game. Cabrini ends its season with a 13-4 mark.
Salisbury, which scored on 10 of its 22 shots in the opening period, pushed its margin to 11-0 in the opening seconds of the second quarter as Phillips added his third of the game, assisted by face off specialist Andy Murray (1g-1a). Murray enjoyed a near perfect day on face offs, winning 18 of his 19 attempts. Salisbury controlled 19 of 21 draws overall.
Cabrini registered its only marker with 1:43 remaining in the second quarter as freshman Matt Grosse scored unassisted. Murray answered that goal by winning the ensuing face off and scoring unassisted just seven seconds later. Salisbury led 12-1 at halftime.
Bergey added his third and fourth goals of the game in the third quarter. The Gulls closed out the game with two more tallies in the final period, including Mike Ricucci's second goal of the contest. Sophomore Joe Tamberrino finished with a team-high three assists.
Cabrini's junior goalie Antonio Masone finished with 18 saves. Salisbury starter Dan Korpon recorded nine saves in 48 minutes. The Sea Gulls finished with a 50-18 advantage in total shots and 67-30 edge in ground balls. The Salisbury defense registered its fourth game of the season in which it allowed one goal or less.

From the department of things that are just too perfect
So says Paul Krugman…
Limited time this morning, so light blogging. But I can't resist posting this. Jonathan Chait finds James K. Glassman, co-author of "Dow 36,000″ — a 1999 book that argued, based on some creative double-counting and other innovations, that 36,000 was the right value of the Dow at the time of publication — claiming that this week's Dow high vindicates his ideas. But that's not what's so perfect.
No, what caught my eye was where Glassman went on the strength of his bold prediction. And the answer is, he's the Founding Executive Director of the George W. Bush Institute.
Cult of digital nothingness
I love "hair shirt" stories like this. Especially if they're about someone living nearby. It's good for a garage sale with everything for free – when they go through this crisis of ownership.
Usually, the dimwit acting out his heroic monkish self-image isn't even bright enough to sell off his creature comforts.
Many have begun trading in CD, DVD, and book collections for digital music, movies, and e-books. But this trend in digital technology is now influencing some to get rid of nearly all of their physical possessions – from photographs to furniture to homes altogether…
Meet Kelly Sutton, a spiky-haired 22-year-old software engineer with thick-rimmed glasses and an empty apartment in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighbourhood – a hotbed for New York's young, early adopters of new technology.
Mr Sutton is the founder of CultofLess.com, a website which has helped him sell or give away his possessions – apart from his laptop, an iPad, an Amazon Kindle, two external hard drives, a "few" articles of clothing and bed sheets for a mattress that was left in his newly rented apartment.
This 21st-Century minimalist says he got rid of much of his clutter because he felt the ever-increasing number of available digital goods have provided adequate replacements for his former physical possessions.
"I think cutting down on physical commodities in general might be a trend of my generation – cutting down on physical commodities that can be replaced by digital counterparts will be a fact," said Mr Sutton…
Mr Sutton sold or gave away most of his assets, apart from his iPad, Kindle, laptop and a few other items
The tech-savvy Los Angeles "transplant" credits his external hard drives and online services like iTunes, Hulu, Flickr, Facebook, Skype and Google Maps for allowing him to lead a minimalist life…
Beaucoup apocrypha fleshes out an article on living the puritan life.
Pretty much tales of folks who think the monastic life brings some sort of liberation. Rather like hitting yourself in the forehead with a ballpeen hammer – "because it feels so good when you stop!"

Unearthing St. Augustine's Colonial Heritage is a National Endowment for the Humanities grant-funded project to digitally preserve a collection of hidden and fragile resources related to colonial St. Augustine, consisting of 10,000 maps, drawings, photographs and documents available freely online. Partnering with the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida (UF) to realize this project are the City of St. Augustine departments of Heritage Tourism and the Archaeology Program, the St. Augustine Historical Society, and Government House, which is managed by UF. The project will be a resource for researchers, historians, archaeologists, architects, and historic preservationists, and will help in telling St. Augustine's unique "story" on a global scale.
The Unearthing St. Augustine materials are scattered among four different repositories which have been previously inaccessible to researchers worldwide. Among the important items to be "unearthed," which date from the 16th century to the present, include archival materials from the following:
- Government House - maps and overlays of the city, architectural drawings of historic structures, and related government documents
- St. Augustine Historical Society - Spanish documents, transcriptions, and English language translations
- City of St. Augustine Archaeology Program - records, photographs, and site summaries for 100 excavations conducted over the past 20 years
- Herschel Shepard Collection at UF - drawings, photos and documents related to Shepard's restoration and reconstruction of the city's colonial buildings

Don't you tell me what to do, you god damn article titles think they own the place?
you know, i might just buy this now
It looks absolutely fantastic!
T_T Have to wait for the PC version ugh.
Its only console gameplay guys, I think because graphics is low
So they couldnt release a pc version because of pirates. T_T people still pirate games for xbox and playstation.
Why post about console games on a PC website.-.
Ask about the same to all the other 100 guys who write console games on a PC website...
Because I'm writing this on a PC website about Grand Theft Auto V is also the reason that GTA 5 will also come to PC, but it has not got a release date yet.

Prophets... seeing God face to face
Posted 26 January 2011 - 08:29 PM
A person has asked me ... how many lds prophets have seen god face to face..? I really just thought of one .. Joseph Smith.
Are there any others that have mentioned this fact. I see a thread similar to this one where the grandaughter states de Lorenzo Snow had seen him face to face.
Second... do we teach that prophets can see god face to face? I mean this like for the training of the missionaries or any doctrine books... as far as I understand it could be a posibility.. but is just another way of how to have revelation.
Any material to study let me know please.

The bolding is mine...
In Doctrine and Covenants 107:23 we read,
�The twelve traveling councilors are called to be the Twelve Apostles, or special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world.� President Boyd K. Packer spoke of the sacred nature of an apostolic witness of Jesus Christ: �Occasionally during the past year I have been asked a question. Usually it comes as a curious, almost an idle, question about the qualifications to stand as a witness for Christ. The question they ask is, �Have you seen Him?� �That is a question that I have never asked of another. I have not asked that question of my brethren in the Quorum, thinking that it would be so sacred and so personal that one would have to have some special inspiration, indeed, some authorization, even to ask it. �There are some things just too sacred to discuss. . . .
�There are those who hear testimonies borne in the Church, by those in high station and by members in the wards and branches, all using the same words��I know that God lives; I know that Jesus is the Christ,� and come to question, �Why cannot it be said in plainer words? Why aren�t they more explicit and more descriptive? Cannot the apostles say more?�
�How like the sacred experience in the temple becomes our personal testimony. It is sacred, and when we are wont to put it into words, we say it in the same way�all using the same words. The apostles declare it in the same phrases with the little Primary or Sunday School youngster. �I know that God lives and I know thatJesus is the Christ.� . . .
�I said there was a question that could not be taken lightly nor answered at all without the prompting of the Spirit. I have not asked that question of others, but I have heard them answer it�but not when they were asked. They have answered it under the prompting of the Spirit, on sacred occasions, when �the Spirit beareth record.� ( D&C 1:39 ) �I have heard one of my brethren declare: �I know from experiences, too sacred to relate, that Jesus is the Christ.� �I have heard another testify: �I know that God lives; I know that the Lord lives. And more than that, I know the Lord.� �It was not their words that held the meaning or the power. It was the Spirit. � . . . for when a man speaketh by the power of the Holy Ghost the power of the Holy Ghost carrieth it unto the hearts of the children of men.� ( 2 Ne. 33:1 )
�I speak upon this subject in humility, with the constant feeling that I am the least in every way of those who are called to this holy office...
�Now, I wonder with you why one such as I should be called to the holy apostleship. There are so many qualifications that I lack. There is so much in my effort to serve that is wanting. As I have pondered on it, I have come to only one single thing, one qualification in which there may be cause, and that is, I have that witness.
�I declare to you that I know that Jesus is the Christ. I know that he lives. He was born in the meridian of time. He taught his gospel, was tried, was crucified. He rose on the third day. He was the first fruits of the resurrection. He has a body of flesh and bone. Of this I bear testimony. Of him I am a witness�
(in Conference Report, Apr. 1971, 123�25; or Ensign, June 1971, 87�88).

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, "Oh crap...he's awake!"
"We're wandering around as strangers looking for things to recognize, and whenever you see something which you know is good, true, and beautiful, that's an act of recognition. And you recognize it as such not by analyzing it, but it comes to your memory, it hits you, 'I've seen that, I know that's right' and so forth." ~ Hugh Nibley

I am one of his witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears.
And now, as pertaining to this perfect atonement, wrought by the shedding of the blood of God�I testify that it took place in Gethsemane and at Golgotha, and as pertaining to Jesus Christ, I testify that he is the Son of the Living God and was crucified for the sins of the world. He is our Lord, our God, and our King. This I know of myself independent of any other person.
But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God�s Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way.

Judges 13
1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2 �And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
3 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
6 �Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
8 �Then Manoah intreated the Lord, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? 13And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
15 �And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
16 And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the Lord. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the Lord.
17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
18 And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
19 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the Lord: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
21 But the angel of the Lord did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the Lord.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
23 But his wife said unto him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
24 �And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol
Isaiah 6
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 �Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

Posted 03 February 2011 - 08:37 PM
See here(and the linked item therein on Brigham Young, which has some similar information). I ran across a letter from Heber J. Grant, when he was Church President in which he stated: "I know of no instance where the Lord has appeared to an individual since His appearance to the Prophet Joseph Smith."
I am wondering if Pres. Grant meant God the Father and not the Son? I know Elder George F. Richards of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles saw Christ and mentioned it in two of his conference addresses, as did Elder David B. Haight in one of his conference addreses from either '88 or '89.

"The fact is, that by the power of God I translated the Book of Mormon from hieroglyphics, the knowledge of which was lost to the world, in which wonderful event I stood alone, an unlearned youth, to combat the worldly wisdom and multiplied ignorance of eighteen centuries, with a new revelation, which (if they would receive the everlasting Gospel,) would open the eyes of [the world], and make 'plain the old paths,' wherein if a man walk in all the ordinances of God blameless, he shall inherit eternal life." Joseph Smith, History of the Church, 6:74.

This is a great (and grave) admission. Most "Evangelicals" discount Joseph Smith's vision as bogus because "no man hath seen God at any time", even though the Bible (contradicting itself on this point, too) clearly shows many men (e.g., Abraham and Moses) have, indeed, seen Him.
Also Abraham spoke face to face with God , a.nd een eat with Him.
This is incomprehensible. There is no "Jesus flesh suit". Either Jesus was resurrected and has His body, as He demonstrated, or He was not, and "we are of all men most miserable."
which I think that God put on His Jesus fleah [sic, flesh(?)] suit over His spirit to come talk with Abraham and walk on earth!

I can't say whether they all saw it though. I know a number of them were also on missions in similiar time periods. Might be something interesting to check on sometime.

I think you're right. I suspect all the Apostles have seen the Savior, but I don't see why they would need to see the Father.
All they need to do is take a picture and then we could all see the face of the Savior. What would be wrong with that?

text: 19th Century Willowbrook Village is a lovely place to spend a day. Visitors feel they have stepped back in time as they visit such places as the school, the blacksmith shop and the general store. A real favorite with kids is the carousel.

Earlier this year, the personal finance blogging community nominated their favorite products, services, and blogs to be considered for a new annual awards ceremony, The Plutus Awards. (The name comes from the relatively unknown ancient Greek god of wealth, Plutus.) These awards are designed to celebrate the best in personal finance.
I've been working on establishing the Plutus Awards for a while. I originally intended to launch this at the end of 2008, but like many projects that simply get away from me, this was postponed one year. Like the Academy Awards, the year's best are awarded during the beginning of the following year, so we are now looking for the best of 2009.
Consumerism Commentary is a finalist in several of the blogging-related categories. There are a number of excellent options in each category, so I don't expect to win any vote of popularity. If Consumerism Commentary does prevail I'll pass the winnings forward to the next-placed site in the category in order to avoid any question of a conflict of interest.
The categories are split between two sections: products/services and blogs. Some of the finalists among the products and services include ING Direct and Ally Bank for Best Overall Bank, TaxCut and TurboTax for Best Tax Filing Software, and many others. You'll find many of your favorite blogs included in the "Plutus 2.0 Awards" section.
Please take a moment or two and vote for those you would like to see win.
