The Westminster boys golf program uses the game of golf to challenge young men to grow in their relationship with Christ, mature as a person of character, and compete to the best of their abilities.
The golf team has experienced a long history of success including one team state championship (2010), eight final four appearances (1996, 2001–03, 2009–12), and eight district championships (1996, 2001, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013). Kevin Bell (2008) and both Kevin Bell and Kevin Vande Kamp ’12 (tie in 2010) won individual state championships.

Yes, but it is the general intrpretation that those questions are the ones that have either complex or somewhat subjective answers. Not something like "What is traveling in basketball?"
Would you ask "Is watermelon a fruit?" No, because that question could be answered in 10 seconds assuming that is how quickly you can read "Yes." This is completely different from "Explain international economic relations" or "Schrodinger's cat." Does that make sense?

Katawa Shoujo is so much more than a happy ending to a story. Just like a Relationship It's a Journey to be experienced and enjoyed as you go through it. A point that I like to make especially when people mention avoiding bad/neutral endings, is they do miss out on alot of the experience. Mistakes are lessons to be learned from. My thirst of knowledge and experience outweighs my fear of rejection. One of the lasting impacts KS has had on me is that if I agree to do something out of ordinary, that choice can truly change aspects of your life, often for the better. A IRL example was a friend asked me to stick around the college for Oktoberfest. I had no real desire to go, I had unimportant plans and am a cheapskate, but I went against my usual grain and stuck around. To keep things short while dancing I saw a group of foreign exchange students and invited them to the dance floor. For the rest of the year I ate lunch with this group of them every Tuesday and Thursday.

The Tenth and Twelfth Armored are also possibles (actually, it looks like a lot of guys from a lot of units went over to take a looks and grab a souvenir). The Captain died some years ago in a building in which my brother worked. His family threw out all his WWII keepsakes, including 'Hitler's bedroom door' and a small booklet, one of those history of the unit things produced at the end of the war. (That's right, his family junked the lot, photos, SS epaulettes too). The only things I can remember for sure, is that it was an armored unit, and that it wasn't a 'big name' unit. So I'm pretty sure it wasn't the 2nd Armored, as I think that would have clicked with me.
Also, I think my memory is faulty in another regard; it looks like Berchtesgaden wasn't reached until May, not April. The door panel is in my parent's house, I should be there in a few weeks. I will get some photos. The booklet as far as I know has been lost, and the photos too. Pity, one of them had 'two Nazis I grabbed' penciled on the back, and there he is on the front, posing with two forlorn looking German soldiers. It was one of those small WWII era prints, maybe two inches square or a little smaller.

FERC's meeting scheduled for Wednesday, November 7, does not have any RTO dockets on the agenda.
The generic docket "Electricity Market Design and Structure," which is the docket FERC is using for its "RTO Week" proceeding, is included on the agenda, but we do not expect any significant actions in this docket because FERC is still taking comments from the industry on the outcome of RTO Week.
However, this new Commission has surprised us before, so if anything of import happens at next week's meeting, we'll notify you immediately.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

This kid is ungrateful. 200 and an xbox 360! Dont get me wrong im a big ps3 fan and dont like xbox but the games are almost the same across the board now days. Maybe a few exclusives but otherwise. .. I wish he could trade parents with me for christmas when i was 16. The best gift i got that year was some roadside breakdown triangles kit. Other than that i got 30 from my grandma (actually that may have been the best gift) some 1 rasors, old apples off the table, my jewelry out of my jewelry box from a few years earlier, mini chocolate bars, and i think that was it. I was not ungrateful nor complained to them. This kid would probably shoot him self. We were really poor. If i had asked for something like a ps3 it would have been totally out of the question. No way anyone in my family could afford that even if they worked together and it was all i got. Some kids today are just ungrateful for what they get. Like this kid:

Yes, coming up on 3 years living along the Oregon coast. We absolutely love everything about it, weather included.
We left because it became too expensive, austentacious, crowded and snobby. I grew up in the Laguna Beach, my once eclectic, accepting, and beautiful town has changed so much over the years. Growing up there from the mid 60’s to the 80’s, was what dreams are made of. We were a live and let live town, we didn’t have racial issues, people were openly gay, we had hippies on motor cycles that hung out at Taco Bell, we had Hari Krishna’s dancing in the streets, and no one batted an eye.
What’s going on in Southern California now, breaks my heart. The cost of living is off the charts, people are stressed out, the most important thing has become, how wealthy your family is. It’s no longer a place of peace, I no longer recognize it.
We have found our Laguna of old along the central coast of Oregon. Beauty abounds, people are real, I’ve yet to meet anyone with the common ”upgrades” of CA.. Fake boobs, new noses, cheek implants, liposuction, the overuse of Botox, which makes them void of expression, this is just the tip of the list!
I’m back to feeling at peace, and comfortable in my own skin, living my life anew, it’s amazing, my only regret is, I wasn’t brave enough to take the plunge sooner.
This is where I live, with my husband, 7 unwanted dogs out of Ca. that we fostered and never found homes, and 7 cats, that started off as fosters as well.
Our street, and property, purchased for less than 200k, you can’t even buy a piece of land in my old neck of the woods for that price.
My dogs have never been happier, the freedom this area affords them is a huge perk.
I encourage you to explore your options, good luck…

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - Commissioners in St. Johns County voted unanimously to postpone any legislative action against a localized ban of a substance that the DEA has classified as a "drug of concern."
According to a report by the St. Augustine Record, 19 speakers during a Tuesday night commission meeting defended their right to use kratom, speaking about the health benefits they'd recieved while battling fibromyalgia and anxiety. Commissioners agreed to table any action until at least May, after the Legislative session.
ORIGINAL STORY: Could drug with opioid-like properties be banned in St. Johns County?
The FDA has warned people against using kratom, saying it has properties similar to those of opioids. It's legal in the U.S. aside from Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
There are no restrictions on kratom in Florida, expect in Sarasota County, where it's banned.

Fabbris Smallgoods is a leading manufacturer of Australian Pork with produce aimed at the gourmet consumers. They distribute their products nationally and to New Zealand.
Across both of their sites in Victoria they were consuming over 1,572,000 kWh of electricity and spending in excess of $200,000 a year on power.
They were aiming to consolidate their energy suppliers and reduce the demand from the network, resulting in improved operational expenditure and lower running costs.
A blind tender with multiple electricity retailers ensured competitive bidding process which produced some aggressive retail pricing options. By using the economies of scale, total consumption across both sites was considered, resulting in a 50.6% saving for Fabbris Smallgoods.
A detailed analysis of the consumption across both sites indicated that the demand profile, the times at which power was being used, did not match the best tariffs available from the network. By successfully negotiating preferable tariffs, Fabbris Smallgoods were able to save $47,816 per year.

It is with regret that I have to announce that Jeff Skilling is leaving Enron.
Today, the Board of Directors accepted his resignation as President and CEO of Enron.
Jeff is resigning for personal reasons and his decision is voluntary.
I regret his decision, but I accept and understand it.
I have worked closely with Jeff for more than 15 years, including 11 here at Enron, and have had few, if any, professional relationships that I value more.
I am pleased to say that he has agreed to enter into a consulting arrangement with the company to advise me and the Board of Directors.
Now it's time to look forward.
With Jeff leaving, the Board has asked me to resume the responsibilities of President and CEO in addition to my role as Chairman of the Board.
I have agreed.
I want to assure you that I have never felt better about the prospects for the company.
All of you know that our stock price has suffered substantially over the last few months.
One of my top priorities will be to restore a significant amount of the stock value we have lost as soon as possible.
Our performance has never been stronger; our business model has never been more robust; our growth has never been more certain; and most importantly, we have never had a better nor deeper pool of talent throughout the company.
We have the finest organization in American business today.
Together, we will make Enron the world's leading company.
On Thursday at 10:00 a.m. Houston time, we will hold an all employee meeting at the Hyatt.
We will broadcast the meeting to our employees around the world where technically available, and I look forward to seeing many of you there.

I sit at the bar looking around at the same crowd that comes in every night. Different people, same crowd. I twist my black straw around in my drink waiting for the bartender to acknowledge me. He's had a long shift. The asshole next to me has been jawing on and on about all the guns he has at home. Probably to compensate for the small penis he has in his pants.
I sip at the alcohol tinged soda water for a second. Hunched over. I feel nonexistent, while all the classics get the patter. "Long over an hourglass." I think, looking down.
"What do you mean?" The bartender says, as if reading my thoughts or... I just said that aloud. Fantastic. "Nothing," mumbling incoherently, "I mean I um." I blush a beet red. "Could I have another?"
"Sure thing" He smiles, winks and takes my glass.

Farfugium japonicum, formerly known as Ligularia tussilaginea and Ligularia kaempferi, is a clump-forming perennial that is grown in gardens more for its attractive foliage than for its autumn flowers. Native to moist meadows and stream banks in Japan and eastern Asia, the foliage consists of huge, long-stalked, glossy, leathery, kidney-shaped, dark green leaves that form a basal clump to 2’ tall. Leaves are evergreen in warm winter climates, but will die to the ground when temperatures fall to 20 degrees F. Daisy-like, yellow flowers (1-2” across) bloom in loose corymbs in late summer to fall. Var. giganteum has larger leaves(to 18” across).
Winter hardy to USDA Zones 7-10. Foliage will wilt in too much sun.

For me it depends: I often write programs to be used by people very bad at computers, nevermind Excel (one of them referred to a cell as a box thingy). It's easier for some people to understand that they click this and the numbers show up rather than formulas they might questions or accidentally overwrite. Also in my situation, code allows for more longevity in the program. Say they adds new rows, then the formulas aren't already there. a Program can find the last row.

I started with Cable and absolutely love him. Teleport allows you boss farm and do LQs quickly by skipping trash/unrequired objectives. His playstyle involves using multiple powers to stack different DoTs, but is rewarding when you see how much damage he is pumping out. Cable also has an aura that increases you and your party's damage rating by quite a nice chunk. He does seem to have a bit of survivability problems later on, but this could probably be fixed with Lemuria instead of other relics. Of all my characters, Cable is by far the most powerful and most fun to play. Gambit was the character I looked forward to the most, but he is in a bad place right now. His primary ranged attack requires almost precise distance from targets to be anywhere close to effective, and his melee build is hurt by the current dodge mechanics being pretty rough. I'd stay away from him until some more fixes come down (hopefully soon). Jean I've only played for a bit, but I always hear great things about her ability to clear trash faster than any other character. I enjoy the fact that she has an additional resource to track in her Phoenix Force mechanic, and look forward to playing her once I finish up Cyclops, who has been a blast to play so far.

Instruction guide on how to use POW!
Photo of the Week helps to strengthen and maintain skills for speaking, listening, observing, inferring, critical thinking, communication, descriptive language, storytelling, vocabulary and imagination. Each photo is of everyday life events or something that is relatable such as subjects of interest (animals, hobbies, occupations).
There are no right or wrong answers so that the participant can express what they are observing and what they believe will happen next, while using their background knowledge and vocabulary to be as descriptive as possible. You may choose to display each photo on a designated day of the week on a projector or from a computer/tablet for a better view. If you project the image onto a board, you would be able to circle details within the photo as tangible evidence of an idea or observation. As a whole group you may choose to have an open discussion.
Use the included instruction guide for discussions or to lead a writing prompt activity.
This activity can be completed by individuals with a mild to moderate form of dementia, as well as, those who may be deaf, blind, or mute.

I had an interesting conversation with Mark Courtney today, this time about something that doesn't cost us money.
He has gained a good bit of experience on transmission availability in NW New Mexico from the Gallup electric contract negotiation.
His take on transmission constraints is consistent with what Kevin and I had suspected: Alb.
is a load pocket and the prevailing flow is west to east into Alb.
Constraints only affect west to east flows and a generator in Alb.
could always move power to four corners by displacement.
Courtney has worked with an ENA transmission guy named Steve Walton who apparently has more experience with the 230Kv transmission lines that had the problem that led to the recent blackouts in Alb.
If we are not talking to him already, he would be another guy worth talking to.

My husband who is 20 is a redditor and I know that he will probably see this, so I don't want to put all of the details here. Anyone that might be willing to give me some advice. .. .would you message me? We have been together for 3 years and married for less than one. I feel like he has a deeper emotional connection with his best friend who is 30M and who he has known for a year than with me. They text all day everyday and I feel like I have to pull conversation out of him. He needs to carve out regular time to spend with this person alone. They went on a multi-day trip alone together. This person is someone that I feel he is attracted to and it makes me uncomfortable. I don't know what to do. I'm not comfortable bringing it up because he gets furious that I might be jealous. The reality is that I don't feel that the relationship is appropriate. Halp.

It's complicated, and very situational. As I mentioned in my other reply, you had some instances in which factories never produced anything useful, either because of intention (Oskar Schindler) or because the workers were in too poor physical condition (the IG Farben plant at Auschwitz). Other situations, however, were quite productive--Mauthausen, in modern-day Austria, had munitions factories and a quarry, and was apparently quite profitable. In fact, even at less successful camps, private companies were making huge profits by renting slave laborers from the SS at extremely cheap prices. It's pretty clear that as far as private industry goes, the practice was profitable. Now for the German government and/or the SS, it's a more complicated and contentious question. The Nazis did make a great deal of money from the Holocaust, but this included confiscated property as well as slave labor, and my knowledge gets hazier the further into proper economics we get. Perhaps someone else knows more. You also have to take into account that part of the "profit" of slave labor was the eventual death of the laborers from malnutrition or disease exacerbated by overwork. The idea of "extermination through labor" ( Vernichtung durch Arbeit ) was central to the concentration camp system, especially where Jews were concerned, the logic being that if the Germans were going to kill these people anyway, the Reich might as well get something out of it along the way.

A credit score rates people on how trustworthy they are with money. Every time you use a credit card you're borrowing money from the company, then you pay them back when you can. The more you use the card and pay back on time the higher your credit score becomes. The higher your score becomes the more money the credit companies and banks will lend you at a given time.
1. As often as you like
2. As often as they let you
3. Buy everything you can with a credit card, and always pay it back in time.
4. If you can keep track and pay them off on time it's fine, assuming they don't have any yearly/monthly fees.
5. Anything under the limit as long as you can afford it.

Two things:
States' rights:
What states' right was being trammeled in the south? These were the people that had no problem requiring free states to participate in the return of runaway slaves, an action that was directly in conflict with the constitutional wishes of free states. Compare and contrast the alterations of the Confederate Constitution with the US version to get an understanding of how important addressing states' rights was for the south. Also keep an eye out for how the institution of slavery was treated.
Lincoln's statements regarding slavery:
Prior to his election, Lincoln was very consistent in saying that he was only concerned with the institution of slavery in federally administered territories. But the slave holding states were of the opinion that if slavery did not expand then the institution would die out (odd how often these states' rights guys are concerned with non states' rights issues, hmm). The south didn't even wait for Lincoln to assume the office before they started seizing federal property and munitions.
Slavery and honor were the motivations for the civil war, beyond that everything else is wishful thinking.

Quite often in counterinsurgency operations, there might be things that will hit close at home. Most of the SAS soldiers who served in Northern Ireland had previously been active in Oman, Aden and Borneo. In these cases, they often didn't fight in built up areas and the civilians that they saw affected weren't exactly *like them* culturally or physically. While SAS soldiers are known for being very well in handling a civilian population (as SF forces should in a counterinsurgency operation), there will always be that difference between them and you.
You can imagine the shock these people went through in Northern Ireland. Here was their backyard, their people so to speak. When guerrilla warfare really hits the civilian population, it's not a pretty sight at all. You'll see bombs go off, only to have a secondary charge for when the ambulance and medical services arrive. It will be the eternal question of who to trust? How about that old man who passes the check point every Tuesday and Wednesday? Is he responsible for reconnaissance for a mortar attack that happened this Friday?
It has a tremendous psychological impact on you and this mistrust of your own people can be very disturbing at times. Often, writers do not mention it. Some don't mention it because of a political nature (as to not create more controversy) or because it's difficult being neutral about it. However, these are experiences that are not limited to British servicemen in Northern Ireland. These kind of patterns often occur in this type of warfare, albeit as always, Northern Ireland was a different affair for these men.

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to put the foundations in place for an even more successful edition of the Summit in 2017, with even more stadium owners and operators as well as a few new surprises.
The Summit will launch in a few weeks and is taking place at Croke Park, Dublin on 22-23 June.
For the next edition of the Summit, we are pleased to announce that our specialist meetings; Fan Experience Forum and Premium Seat Seminar will now be fully integrated into the main Summit.
We will still cover the same great, focused content for these two meetings, but the good news for you is that you now only need to purchase one pass for access to all our sessions, speakers, tours and networking parties.
And, you only need to take 2 days out of the office now to join the debate on the future of stadiums.
We will, of course, also be hosting the prestigious TheStadiumBusiness Awards 2017 during the Summit on the evening of 22 June (location TBC).
Nominations for the Awards will open at the end of November – Take a look at our 2016 Winners Brochure to see what happened in Madrid.
That’s it for now, more details to follow very soon, we can’t wait to see you all next Summer!
Get in touch if you would like to get involved in the Summit next year.

I'm with you.
I told my wife I thought it would be a 3 touchdown game, but a 49 point margin is unacceptable.
I was at the game and it was as if the Texas coaches got a bunch of guys from the frat houses this week and put together a game plan on Saturday morning before kickoff.
They were out of position, slow, unmotivated, and flat out not prepared to play.
I like Brown and actually think he is a good fit, but at some point you actually have to coach.
I lay this all at his feet.
Obviously the coordinators bear some major responsibility as well.
I really don't know what to expect for the remainder of the season.
They obviously are not as bad as they showed on Saturday.
But the fact remains that they are capable of playing that poorly on any Saturday, and I really did not think that with this defense they could be humiliated.
I was very wrong.
Something has to change.
The fact is they are 3-5 in the last 8 games.
And were favored in all but one.
Lack of talent is no longer an excuse.
I think the entire remainder of the season hinges on this Saturday.
If they play as poorly as they have all season (they have beaten 3 terrible teams, and lost to a bad one) against Colorado, they will lose and I could see them finishing at 6-5 and even 5-6 not out of the question.
For this reason, I think that this could be the biggest game of Brown's tenure at UT.
What do you think?

Greetings Redditors! First time posting and long time lurker. My husband and I adopted a couple of kittens off of Reddit a few months ago. These cats are awesome, but they do a couple of really odd things. .. Circe, the female, will not let me poop in peace! Every time I sit on the toilet, she opens the bathroom door (master pick locker! ) and demands to sit in my lap then crawls her way to sit on my shoulders. If I deny her, she will claw her way to the top of my shoulders! When she gets to the top, she just lies still and becomes a purr monster! Awkward but sweet. Baltar (this is when things get weird) likes to suck his own nipples. Their mom died right after giving birth and I know this is a natural reaction. However, it does not really bother anyone until his sister starts sucking on his nips with him and he. .. well, he. .. .. he cups and grabs his balls while he is doing it. To say the least, my husband gets pissed when he wakes up at 3A. M. to hear the cats doing some Lannister type activities (for all of my fellow Game of Throne nerds).

First, that's a strangely amusing name for a medical condition. Second, I looked it up, sounds like hell. I'm sorry that you have to go through that and I'm glad your therapy is working for you. I was just saying that therapy, and especially medication, should never be the first response to symptoms of a mental illness. Talking to a doctor, or the people close to you, should always be the first step, and seeing a psychiatrist should follow only if it is deemed neccessary by YOU, no one else. Telling someone with a mental illness to "get help" can be taken as an insult as much as it can be meant as helpful advice. However, following a traumatic event or experience, therapy is highly recommended for most (read: most, not all ) people, as in cases like that it can be much more helpful. It is also much more important to seek some kind of help in this case. But when it comes to "coping", literally anything can be a 100 effective and enjoyable coping method, but only the person who may (or may not) need to cope can decide what helps them. It is important to remember that not all people even need to cope with their problems in the first place, as they might view the situation as not a problem at all.

to me it usually feels like, "oh. this is a dream. that's a monster. fuck this shit. peace. " every once in a while, though, i'll be able to mess around with shit. unfortunately, it also comes with the stigma of "well, since i'm dreaming, i'm gonna do this now". which is the same way i hallucinate - i realize that i'm on drugs and that shit isn't really FREAKIN OUT MAN all around me, and everything is cool.

So I lent my brother Michael Chrichton's Jurassic Park a while ago. He really liked it. His birthday is coming up and last night I asked him "hey, what's better: steam or xbox games? Asking for a friend, " thinking I'd get him the new Fallout preorder. He replied, "Steam. But maybe your 'friend' would prefer a book instead. " So I'm definitely getting him a book (or a few) now. I was wondering if anyone can recommend something for him? I want it to be interesting enough to keep his attention and encourage him to read, but advanced enough that it gives him a challenge (he's turning 17, but had never been a big reader before this. ) Something along the lines of Jurassic Park; maybe Stephen King. I was also thinking Ender's Game. So. .. Any recommendations? ââââââââ

Dear Mr Lay, I'm not sure if you remember, but I am the one who came up with the Lay it on the Line slogan.
I am no longer with the company and am currently with General Electric.
Regardless, I still have a stake in Enron.
Besides everything that is going on that we can all read in the press, what concerns me is it seems that some current leaders still don't care.
I was infuriated to learn that Enron (EES in particular) still rented a corporate house on the golf course for the tour championship in Houston and was seen grilling steaks, lobsters and having a great time.
I wouldn't consider it entertaining clients if Managing Directors such as Dan Leff were there with thier kids (rumor has it).
That is a completely irresponsible waste of what little money is left in the company and it shows the arrogance that Enron is perceived to have.
People should be fired for this.
I would hope that Christmas parties, bonues etc will be scaled down this year and to at least make some sort of effort to slash costs and get the company back on track.
I have faith in you as a leader and I hope for a turnaround.
Thank you.

Hello everyone, It was a tough week overall this week with several games going down as upsets.
College games were overall better than the pros this week.
No one correctly picked the Clemson victory over Georgia Tech.
Also no one picked New England over Indy, Cleveland over Jacksonville or Baltimore over Denver.
We have a 3 way tie heading into the Monday night game tonight, with Rick Broussard, Rob Benson and Todd DeCook still alive, all with 5 incorrect picks.
Rick picked San Francisco tonight with 37 total points scored, Rob picked San Fran with 41 points and Todd picked the Jets with 52 total points.
Therefore, it will first come down to who wins the game tonight, as if the Jets win, Todd will win it outright.
If the 49ers win, then it will come down to total points.
If there is 40 or more points scored, Rob will win, 38 or less, Rick will win, 39 there will be a tie.
We had 28 entries this week, therefore the prize is $56.
The following is who played this week with total incorrect picks next to each person's name.
Andy Rick Broussard 5 Rob Benson 5 Todd DeCook 5 Larry Jester 6 Steve Pan 7 Valerie Ramsower 7 Andy Pace 7 Bryce Schneider 7 Joe Brewer 8 Joe Quenet 8 Miguel Garcia 8 Larry Campbell 8 Don Baughman 9 Dave Ryan 9 Pat Hanse 9 Kayne Coulter 9 Daniel Jenkins 9 George Phillips 9 Gautam Gupta 9 Kevin Cline 10 Mark Symms 10 Michele Wilks 11 Jaime Gualy 11 Russell Ballato 11 Paul Broderick 12 Carter Ellis 12 Diana Allen 12 Ryan Williams 13

That's a big fat "it depends".
There is no reason why 1 fertile male and 1 fertile female could not repopulate the species...or even 1 pregnant female. In fact, some scientists have speculate this may have happened with cheetahs, who exhibit very low genetic diversity.
The real question is, will the population be able to survive with diminished genetic diversity. Survival has as much to do with the environment as it does genetics. A population of a million would stand a better chance than ten, but could still be wiped out by plague, famine, or natural disaster.
The magic number you are looking for just doesn't exist.

The basic tenets of Mormonism are that Native Americans are the lost Tribes of Israel, and that Jesus came to America long before the white settlers. Also, that all of this was told to a new 'prophet' names Joseph Smith. The main reasons most Christians think this is crazy is because the believe that the New Testament is the final word on Jesus, God, and all that good stuff. Christians believe in a set number of prophets and apostles, and that the story of Jesus ends with his transcendence into Heaven after he rose from the dead.
Similar to how Jews think that the Old Testament is the original source of their religious info, and don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, lots of people don't believe in the book of Mormon or the authenticity of their prophet.
There is also the 'problem' of how and why Jesus came to America, how the lost tribes of Israel got there, and why God chose to speak to this random guy through magic plates and stuff. The Bible also states somewhere that 'anyone who adds to this book is lying and will go to hell." In effect, Joseph Smith was 'adding' to the Bible, and so Christians don't believe in it.
The main reason mormonism is portrayed as extreme is because of little things the founders believed in, like polygamy (which is culturally unacceptable n America), and gender roles. And, like most misunderstood minorities, they are feared, just like how suburban soccer moms can be afraid of black urban youth, how some tribes in Africa fear albinos, and why we say that gingers dont' have souls.

Anyone who tries to use that books as an example of what people should do should also use real world examples of rapists and extremely abusive relationships, because that's all that book depicts. I mean hell it'd be fine if it was a self-aware piece that fully acknowledged it was a rape fantasy setting, but that's not how it's portrayed at all. It's portrayed as being healthy somehow, despite the fact that the book depicts an abusive rape relationship that teaches "Hey, don't worry! No matter how badly your guy treats you, you can fix him! " I've seen so many people who claim to have a real interest in BDSM around where I live only get into it because they read that book. A coworker I almost got involved with quickly changed my mind once she mentioned that. It's to the point where that sometimes is a dealbreaker for me. Read the book? Support the content? Find it to be an example of a healthy relationship? See ya!

January 29, 2002 Enron lived 'on edge - sex, money, all of it' The rise and fall of Houston decadence Philip Delves Broughton The Daily Telegraph, with files from news services HOUSTON - Enron was a company in love with itself.
Office affairs were rampant, divorce among senior executives an epidemic and stories of couples steaming up glass-walled offices after late-night meetings were the talk of Houston.
"It was insane," says a former energy trader, soothing her financial injuries with a margarita.
"There were no rules for people, even in our personal lives.
Everything was about the company and everything was supposed to be on the edge -- sex, money, all of it."

Not me, but imagine bringing your kids to the movies, to watch an innocent kids show, but instead get an hour and forty minutes of gory horror. In 2005, parents brought their kids to watch The Last Mimsy, but instead were shocked beyond belief, when instead the Hills Have Eyes 2 flashes up on the screen.
The kids were presented with the opening scene of the movie, where a naked woman is chained up while she gives birth to a deformed baby. The parents of the traumatised kids where offered free cinema tickets as an apology. I think the real horror here is that the kids where forced to sit through a terrible movie.

I have a concern about Enron's forward-looking exposure associated with legacy deals (deals that existed during the June 2000 through the May 2001 price shock).
If Edison gets its way, all customers will pay for Edison's under-recovery from June 2000 through January 2001 plus CDWR spot market purchases during 2001.
This would take the form of a surcharge on future bills.
My concern is that Enron will be on the hook for these future charges associated with past under-collections -- even beyond the term of our legacy deals.
For example, if a deal ends in March 2002 we could be on the hook for surcharges that a legacy customer would receive on its bill after that date, provided the surcharge pertained to costs incurred by the utility during the time that the legacy customer was ours.

As we move forward in the planning stages for NETCO we need to identify all systems which need to be moved or copied into the entity.
We have identified the great majority of the systems to be moved but we may not be able to identify particular tools used by your group or you individually.
This would include spreadsheets etc.
Please send lists of systems and software required to Anne Koehler by close of business today.
To be clear we can (subject to the negotiation) move/copy systems and some data however, we CANNOT move either transaction data if counterparty specific or data obtained from a counterparty under a confidentiality agreement.
For Houston traders, Geof Storey is compiling your lists.

Delicate & Whimsical Accessories with a Touch of the Sea's Beauty.
Strings of Pearlescent Pastels Paired with Silver, Gold or Sparkles.
Style: Elegant, Graceful & "Pearl Kissed"
Today you can find trendy jewelry to suit any style, bold, colorful, sparkly, even nerdy. But pieces that are beautifully understated in their elegance can be more of a challenge to come across. Perhaps because it's easy to overdo, but timelessness takes balance and the right materials like those favored by Ellen vanHully-Bronson of Pearl Kissed Jewelry. Most of Ellen's collections are centered around one of Mother Nature's most delicate and classic "gems" - the fresh water pearl. Her necklaces, bracelets and earrings are all handmade and one-of-a-kind, much like each naturally derived pearl. Her designs are meant to convey an air of elegance and romance, from her simpler strings of silver and the occasional pearl bead or crystal to the more intricate signature necklace with woven "branches" that sit gracefully along your neckline. Ellen's pieces make wonderful gifts for moms, daughters, sisters, wives and more. A Pearl Kissed necklace can enhance any outfit, from the more casual to an evening dress. They are that charming and versatile. While Ellen has a handful of self-designed collections, she is happy to discuss custom requests for a piece that's as special as its future wearer. That makes her work very well suited for bridal parties to match the romance you want on your special day! I love how creativity runs in Ellen's family, with this business originally started as a mother - daughter duo. Her daughter then continued to follow her passions to metalwork, but still offers input on design and marketing to help drive success. Ellen is a delight much like her jewelry, a pearl among artists!

Source( I do not think that a rational woman can want to be president. Observe that I did not say she would be unable to do the job; I said that she could not want it. It is not a matter of her ability, but of her values. The issue is primarily psychological. It involves a womanâs fundamental view of life, of herself and of her basic values. For a woman qua woman, the essence of femininity is hero-worship â the desire to look up to man. âTo look upâ does not mean dependence, obedience or anything implying inferiority. It means an intense kind of admiration; and admiration is an emotion that can be experienced only by a person of strong character and independent value-judgments. To act as the superior, the leader, virtually the ruler of all the men she deals with, would be an excruciating psychological torture. It would require a total depersonalization, an utter selflessness, and an incommunicable loneliness; she would have to suppress (or repress) every personal aspect of her own character and attitude; she could not be herself, i. e. , a woman; she would have to function only as a mind, not as a person, i. e. , as a thinker devoid of personal values â a dangerously artificial dichotomy which no one could sustain for long. By the nature of her duties and daily activities, she would become the most unfeminine, sexless, metaphysically inappropriate, and rationally revolting figure of all: a matriarch.

In my entire life I have had only ONE pair of jeans that I can call truly comfortable to wear. They are a slim fit Tommy Hilfiger jeans and sad to say they are now fading and the knees look like they might split soon. I have to find a new pair. I have three pairs of jeans, Tommy Hilfiger, Jack Jones Anti-Fit, and a pair of Levi's. My main problem is a few things put together. I cannot stand a skinny cut but I like the pants to be slimmer/tighter below the knees. I have big thighs and a big ass for a man unfortunately so what ends up happening is either tightness in the upper thighs, tightness in the crotch, or the pants hanging off my ass. I dress business casual and I commonly wear dress shirts or sport shirts that aren't tucked in. I can't have the pants sagging off my ass, it just doesn't make for a good look. I can never find a compromise between these three issues: High rise(sit at waist or at least above the hips somewhat), comfortable space in the groin/crotch area, Not tight around upper thighs. Now, I've always been a bargain shopper and shopped at TJ Maxx outlets and other similar outlets getting my brand name clothing for under 30 but I'm fed up and I'm ready to start buying some shit that actually fits comfortably. Is raw denim my only option? Is it even an option? Also, a major thing I should mention as well is I need the material to not be too thick, I sweat a lot and I cannot stand when my legs get hot underneath my jeans (or any pants for that matter). For the record, I seem to have a similar issue with dress pants and khakis where the pants don't sit high at my waist. Thanks for reading and I hope to get some insight into this. I'm not a fashionable guy, I got the hot girl early on in life and I never really had to worry about my looks. Now I finally make enough money to justify spending on my clothing and I'm actually at the point where I am truly fed up with my constant discomfort with my wardrobe. Thank you!

Okay, so I'm not trying to be a bitch here. I'm genuinely interested to know the reasons. Pretty much all of the engineers I've met at U of I are just so arrogant about it, and no offense, but you guys (as in the r/uiuc community) kinda come off that way too. It's like people who aren't engineers are just worthless. I know we're a great engineering school and all, but face it, the whole world can't be engineers. 1)We would die out because nobody would be getting laid and 2)There are more roles to be filled in society than engineering ones. Sorry for this. Just wanted to hear some other opinions. Also, kinda drunk.

To date, over $12.3 million has been raised and we have several proposals outstanding.
I'm writing to ask your help with Jack Trotter, a trustee of the Vivian L. Smith Foundation.
Earlier this year you indicated that you would be willing to sign a letter to Mr. Trotter on behalf of the Library/Honors building project.
Enclosed is a draft of the letter.
A proposal for $250,000 was submitted to the Foundation in May, the trustees are scheduled to meet on June 15.
Mr. Trotter is a trustee with both the M.D.
Anderson Foundation (which has already committed $1 mil to the library/honors project) and the Vivian L. Smith Foundation.
The Smith Foundation provided a grant of $500k to the KUHT/KUHF Melcher building that opened last fall.
Please let me know if you have any question regarding the enclosed letter.
Also, please fax or e-mail the final letter to me at the address below.
Thank you very much.

I have signed up to the 30 Day Blogging Challenge by Sarah at SarkeMedia.com in the hope that this will help me revitalise my creativity, which has often been coming up blank lately. There are lots of different prompts out there, simply run a search on google and you can opt to do one day or one month worth of challenges.
I find Pinterest a fantastic resource when I am feeling at a loss. Not only can you find more blogging prompts there, but also great resources on how to grow your blog, improve it, refresh old content and tons of other ideas to make your blog stand out. You can pin ideas relating to your hobbies, children and whatever you enjoy in order to fill your boots to the brim with tons of creative ideas.
It's so simple but just getting outside, blasting away the cobwebs and filling your lungs with fresh air can invigorate your senses and your mind and often bring some brilliant ideas to the forefront. If nothing else a dose of Vitamin D is good for us all so don't just stay cooped up inside.
If you write an interiors blog, get an interiors magazine; if you're a parent then something like Gurgle is a great read or maybe you're more political and current affairs so maybe a copy of The Times would help. There's bound to be something within the cover that makes you think and maybe answer some questions that come to mind from an article, or maybe you think you could write about a topic better, or you just want a rant. There's a blog post in there somewhere!
As I would for social media management, Facebook is such a good place to go for blog content. People are sharing things left, right and centre that is relevant and relateable to you and your audience. Just one image could be the start of a whole heap of content that you'd never before considered, and asking questions on your social media is a great way to get conversations flowing and give you great content at the same time.
Don't wait until you sit down to start thinking about what to write. I'm always thinking of blog ideas in the most random of places, so I tend to write a title or jot some points down in a draft post on blogger and go back to it later. If that's not possible then just a pad and pen will do, which I can put into blogger when I get chance. Then when I'm struggling I've got a ready made list of topics I can revisit and find an idea from.
As always, practice makes perfect and the more you write the more you'll want to write and the better you will get. If you have nothing in your mind, just write, you may be surprised what comes out.
Good luck with your writing - let me know what you use to inspire you!

Offended? No. Disappointed? Yes.
After receiving a nasty bite from my last dog, Monty, I knew that I could either re-home him or get help. I chose the latter, and sent him to a two-week stint at Doggy Boot Camp, run by an excellent local trainer. When I picked him up, they gave me a comprehensive lesson on what to do moving forward.
When we got home, he immediately tried to perform a forbidden activity (frankly, I don’t remember what it was), and I corrected him. He looked up at me with clear surprise. His expression was priceless. It said, “so, you mean that I have to continue behaving properly now that I’m home?”
I don’t have a picture of that moment, but this look sort of comes close:

With respect to future Enron guarantees, there are at least three issues to be addressed in addition to the pervasive objective of transitioning out of the parent guarantee: 1.
Excluding the value of major equipment from the guarantee.
I believe this is already being done for new bids.
2.
Carving out at least part of the guarantee as within Enron's/Nepco's discretion to establish performance or other bonding instruments.
3.
Negotiating transferability of the guarantee, i.e.
the guarantee can be assumed by another credit-worthy entity with at least investment grade or, if necessary, at least a rating equal to Enron's at the time of assumption.
Since the substantive financial protection afforded by an Enron parent guarantee to the contract value would not be compromised if these are implemented, Enron's corporate position is very likely to push very hard on these points.
Logically, owners and project lenders should be willing to accept these structures--even though there undoubtedly would be strong initial pushback.
On the other hand, there may be a real question whether to accept contracts that do not provide for these relatively small steps away from the traditional hell or high water parent guarantee that Enron has approved in the past.
Discussion of these issues should be included in the DASH.
In any event, each new contract requiring an Enron guarantee will have to be approved by Rick Buy personally.

I'm running as fast as I can, but it isn't fast enough.
They're coming. I can hear their metal footsteps clanking on the concrete.
I turn a corner and sprint down a deserted alleyway. *FUCK.* It's a dead end.
I spin around, facing my pursuers. One draws a gun, aims with slow mechanical precision.
"This won't hurt a bit," he says, and he shoots.
The gunshot is silent, just a spurt of air pushing a dart forwards. I duck under the projectile and roll forward, and one of them kicks me full-on in the head.
I'm not quite out cold, but I'm seeing stars. I feel it pick me up.
*It.* It's not a person. It feels like cold metal.

Tom Holland's work, while very popular, fills in the details with speculative ideas and dramatizations that should not be construed as historical fact. He is partially motivated by the assumption that there is a conflict between a so-called "western" world and a so-called "eastern" one. His publisher even uses this to market the book via its supposed parallels to the United States' wars in the Islamic world. This is undesirable for a variety of reasons, but most significantly because it creates false parallels between substantially different societies.
The work is very readable and makes for a stimulating introduction to the subject, but I caution anyone against taking his inferences (especially about causation) as historical fact. The amount we know about Achaemenid Persia has dramatically increased in the last forty years, but enormous, striking gaps remain in our understanding.

I think a better way of putting it is there is not evolutionary advantage to having more than one sense receptor.
Multiple receptors are only useful if each on provides slightly different information based on its location. Two eyes can increase field of view, or give depth perception. Two ears or nostrils can give directional information.
My guess is that magnetic fields are so weak and span such a large area, having two receptors on your body doesn't get you anything, apart from a little redundancy. One is cheaper, and that is what evolution selected.

This is my first answer so please forgive me if I mess up a bit.
I was on the way home to Missouri from Indiana last year when I was pulled over in Illinois doing 103 in a 70. The cop told me he could’ve easily arrested me but I had other people in the car including a child so I’d simple receive a ticket. I would be given a fine and have to appear in court. The amount wasn’t disclosed until my actual court date. It was $664. I got it taken care of but I could’ve easily gone to jail or lost my car. I guess it just depends on your circumstances and how the officer is feeling that day.

Computers these days store information in bits- each bit representing either a 1 or a 0. Quantum computing makes use of the idea of superposition to give us the qubit- which can be a 1, a 0, ***or*** a superposition of both 1 and 0. What does that mean? It's kind of tough to get your head around but- imagine I have box, and I tell you that said box either contains a rock or it does not. Now, you can open the box and see there is no rock- call that state 0. You can open the box and see there is a rock- call that state 1. You could also just not look and, oddly enough that too is also a state- a "superstate" of 0 and 1. The idea is that that not checking the state of something is a state in itself.
You don't need to understand the underlying mechanics to understand the benefits- each bit is either a 1 or a 0, so 1 bit has two possibilities, 2 bits have 4, 3 bits have 8, and so on- 2^n bits.. With qubits, you get 3, 9, 27- 3^n where n is the number of qubits. The benefits increase exponentially (literally) as you increase the scale- 100 bits have 10^30 possibiliteis, while 100 qubits have 10^47.... 100 million billion times as many!
[A better, but no less confusing, explanation of superpositions can be found here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0v-cvvyc-M)

This won’t be a very useful answer for anyone else, but it is my favorite solution my friends and I found to the problem.
I went to a conservative Christian college, where alcohol use was prohibited. So, being normal young people, my friends and I broke the rules now and then.
During our senior year, we started collecting our empty bottles because we had the same concern that the asker had. We didn’t want to get caught disposing of the evidence of our crime. The night before our graduation, as we were gleefully creating more empty bottles, we hit on the idea of taking all our empties and covering the Dean of Students’ car with them. We weren’t malicious. We liked her just fine, and she was a family friend of mine. Still, we wanted to make a statement, and under the influence of impending freedom and plentiful alcohol, having our parents show up for graduation and see the evidence of our crime seemed like a great idea.
So, that’s what we did. We went to the parking lot and gently covered every available horizontal surface on her car with bottles.
We never got caught and we never found out what happened as a result of our prank, but it is a glorious (if fuzzy) memory.
Where can I discreetly get rid of wine bottles?

Mother here. Not sure if this really counts as my son I'm talking about is only 18. Anyway. .. It's heartbreaking. He hasn't has a friend over for about 5 years, never mind a girlfriend/boyfriend. He hasn't been out in that time either apart from school either unless I've took him somewhere with me. I tried to take him out a couple of times to play poker with some of my close friends he's known since childhood. He went twice and kicked ass at poker, laughed a little, seemed happy kinda. But for those few hours that he was out, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, he didn't speak much and tripped over his words when he tried. He seemed almost relieved when we left. It made me realise how crippling his social anxiety is. He'll go to the shop for me if I ask him to but I know he'd prefer to stay in the house. Seeing my friends' kids grow up and develop into young adults is bittersweet. I see their FB posts about parties, girlfriends, boyfriends, new jobs etc. I see them complain about hangovers and heartache, crap bosses, driving lessons, and their hopes of moving into their own places. I don't hear any of that from my son. He's polite, funny, sweet, and kind. He's massively intelligent and and has a awesome sense of humour too. All I hear is about League of Legends, maybe a conversation about Homestuck once in a while. How maybe it would be nice to get Starbound as his main Chrismas gift from me. It pains me to see his two younger siblings start their journeys of independence when his seems to have ground to a halt already. I'm kinda scared for his future. I worry about him finding a job as he currently doesn't work and never has. I honestly can't see how he could as he's so introverted. I think even if he got a job interview he would blow it. You see teenagers with their inflated self confidence and preened-to-perfection looks. They'd be employed over my son any day. Love life? Not gonna happen. He talks to no one so how could it? Unless he meets a sweet girl or guy on League of Legends then maybe I suppose. I know he "chats" on LoL to people. He used to on Mibbit too. Usernames that he knows from years of being a loner with only a PC for company. They're his only friends. He stays up late and pulls all-nighters as we're in the UK and ahead of the US time-wise. As a mother, I'm lost. I don't know what to do but I figure he's gonna be living with me for life. I hope I'm mistaken.

When our oldest son was about 2–3 he loved sleeping on the floor. He always wanted to be on the floor. We would lay out a blanket, nice and flat. Place his pillow on it and then lay his ‘unni’ (his baby blanket) on top of him. He often called it a “camp out” and would look forward to his “camp outs” most nights.
For 1 or 2 years he did this nearly every night and then slowly he began to phase out of it. He is nearly 7 now and has slept in his bed every night for the last year.
It doesn't hurt anyone to sleep on the floor. It wasn't until very recently, the last couple hundred years really, that most non-upper class people stopped sleeping on the floor themselves.
You have to think as well, a young child's body is still growing and getting everything in its proper place, laying on something soft is not the most conducive surface for making sure the body is properly aligned.
If there's room for him to sleep on the floor, by all means let him.

"Geological" and "archaeological" time scales are orders of magnitude different. The time it would take for archaeological remains to be irretrievably lost beneath sedimentation is longer than the time our species has existed.
Also, regarding Dark Ages (and yes, there's [more than one](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Dark_Age))... they refer to periods when central authority collapsed, when the political structures that usually allow us to get a clear picture of history (because there's the opportunity for people to write it down and preserve it) don't exist. They're not periods when everything disappears. For people living through them they might not have actually perceived much of a change (it happened too slowly) and, crucially, there's still plenty of physical archaeology laid down.
