READ ABOUT THE BACKSTORY TO LEVI'S BIRTH IN PART 1 HERE.
READ ABOUT MY CHOLESTASIS DIAGNOSIS IN PART 2 HERE.
Part two left off with a somber diagnosis. But I want this final part to breathe hope into quick and unwanted changes in birth plans — even inductions. I've yet to meet a woman who is excited to be induced. Even if you're post dates and super done being pregnant, induction usually means more pain, more drugs, more risk and a higher likelihood of the whole ordeal ending in surgery. I remember Googling the phrase "positive induction story" and found virtually nothing that fit the bill. As I write this out at a year postpartum, I'm now able to look back and realize that mine was indeed a positive medical induction, and I believe that my chosen birth team and preparatory steps helped get me there.
We had gotten the call from our midwife about my test results about an hour before our big co-ed baby shower (when I was 35w1d). I had that hour to cry and then put the biggest smile on that I could muster — I'm a slow processor and wasn't ready to make it the topic of the party yet. I somehow had the foresight to ask our midwife about the Strep B test, which I hadn't taken yet. I wanted to avoid antibiotics, and I knew that protocol at the hospital was automatic antibiotics if you haven't been tested, so our midwife offered to test me at the birth center right after the baby shower. In just a few days I found out I was negative. I had been diligent in my preparation for this test as well, so this small victory was welcomed.
The Monday of my 35th week, we saw the one perinatologist in town — the 'high risk' guy. His nurse hooked me up to the fetal heart rate monitor for my first of several nonstress tests (NST). She also checked my fluid levels and found them to be excellent — another win! Throughout that final week of my pregnancy, Levi (who still didn't have an official name at the time) and his heart were doing so well. The focal point of my fears began to move away from thoughts of cholestasis and stillbirth and onto the induction process I had come to dread so deeply.
That same Monday prior to his birth I also had to find a doctor to take me on. Rather than going back to the crowded clinic that did our first prenatal appointment, I opted to explore better options. Our midwives' top suggestion was Dr. Melissa Drake. She graciously squeezed us in last minute that day, and I was so relieved at how comfortable I felt around her — she assured us that our 'birth plan' was right up her alley and that our wishes were all within reach.
Between the perinatologist and our new OB, it was also decided that I would be induced that Friday, the day I was to turn 36 weeks, as opposed to 37 weeks, which we had previously been told. The nationally agreed protocol for cholestasis inductions had apparently just changed from 37 to 36 weeks.
Monday was a big day — following all of the appointments and NSTs, we were told to head to the hospital itself that evening for a much longer monitoring session. My husband and I were wedged into a tiny antepartum room in the Labor & Delivery wing at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, and my belly was strapped with the fetal heart rate monitors.
I had another blood test taken that evening to redo the hepatic function panel and bile acids testing. We briefly chatted with the perinatologist and a few compassionate nurses who all explained that while my new test results were actually quite improved (yay!), you're typically labelled for good with the cholestasis diagnosis once you get it. I had spent the week prior drinking shots of lemon juice and olive oil in the morning, downing detoxifying green juices, supplementing with milk thistle and dandelion root...anything 'pregnancy safe' that might help my liver readjust. And it helped, just not enough. They also checked me that evening, and no one was surprised that my 35w3d cervix was not dilated — even though the monitor was tracking some pretty impressive looking Braxton Hicks (that I wasn't feeling).
The next four days felt very surreal. The bartering phase of my grief was over and I knew we were checking into the hospital that Friday night, like it or not. We met with the student midwife who was with me at almost all my birth center appointments and hired her on to our new birth team as our doula, which brought all sorts of relief. I raced through my 'last month to-do list' in a few days and packed a larger bag for the hospital than I had planned for the birth center. I had bags — BAGS — of food, an army of essential oils, my trusty diffuser, pages of guidance, affirmations, instructions for my husband and nurses (concerning how to use said oils) and a suitcase of comfiness that was going to get me through a potentially lengthy stay at the hospital. [I'll post my packing lists, essential oil guides for birth and hospital food lists in detail soon.] This PinkBlush robe (cheaper on Amazon a the time) was the best decision, as were these comfy sleep/nursing/maternity bras. I also grabbed one of these tiny portable fans in case any waves of sweat and nausea hit during labor at the hospital.
We checked into the Labor & Delivery wing Friday at 8pm, the night I turned 36 weeks. It felt eerily anticlimactic, as I was mildly panicking inside while the nurses and staff we met were going about business as usual, which makes sense because, after all, this is their job and they deal with this every day. The night began by getting my hep-lock set up (the IV catheter threaded into a peripheral vein and capped off for later when it's time for Pitocin). It took multiple tries by multiple nurses to get it in successfully, and of course I started blacking out. The rest of the night's agenda included getting acquainted with the wireless (thank the LORD!) fetal heart monitor and taking an Ambien because, yes, apparently it's fine this late in pregnancy and every doctor, nurse and midwife agreed that I'd need it.
My newly found but already greatly loved OB was a huge fan of letting Mother Nature run its course as much as possible. In my case, the very fact that I was there for an induction meant we were tripping M. Nature up quite a bit already. But the plan was to start slow and do the bare minimum to get this labor started. We were in agreement to skip Cytotec*. Instead, at 10pm we began with one dose of Cervidil (Dinoprostone), which is a gel that can be inserted as a suppository intravaginally. It contains prostaglandins to ripen the cervix and encourage labor to start on its own. I was to start with one dose that evening, try to sleep through the night with the Ambien, and then get checked in the morning before the second dose of Cervidil. If things were still at a standstill, my OB was up for trying an older but drug-free technique called the Foley bulb, a catheter balloon that can be used to mechanically dilate the cervix (a small rubber tubing is placed through the cervix and a balloon inside the tubing is inflated just inside the inner edge of the cervix).
That first night in the hospital was not my favorite. Even with the Ambien, I barely slept. The beds in L&D aren't meant for overnight sleeping like the ones in the Postpartum wing are. My husband was in a sleeping bag on the window seat cushions, and a nurse came to check my blood pressure every hour, while also helping me wobble on Ambien with the rolling IV pole to the bathroom several times (trying not to wake David because I'm such a kind and considerate wife).
I had mild contractions on the Cervidil, but nothing to write home about. They were comparable to the bouts of Braxton Hicks I had had throughout my third trimester. By morning we were all wide awake, and I was ready to be checked again around 10am. I had made it to 1cm dilated overnight (while still not very effaced) and was beginning to feel more mild cramping. Everyone seemed pleased with the (albeit small) progress from the first Cervidil, so we did not put a second one in. I moved around the room, squatting and standing in the shower. I ate as much as I could and rubbed Clary Sage essential oil on my ankles.
By noon I was up to 2cm and feeling more tightening about every 2-3 minutes, but it wasn't outrightly painful. The squiggles on the monitor screen made it look more severe than it was. I was tired and bored and uncomfortable. A nurse had swept my membranes around noon when she checked me and was told I was around 40% effaced. The Foley bulb was decided against since the Cervidil had gotten us this far already. I disliked all the checks but knew it was part of the induction game and a necessary evil in order to decide how to proceed.
Our doula's text to my husband after the first Cervidil was removed: "Thats actually pretty impressive! Smart body!" I smiled feebly.
By 3pm I was at 3cm after a short nap and wandering the halls. My OB popped in later that afternoon and we talked about starting me on a small drip of Pitocin that evening. Contractions were far apart but somewhat consistent at that point — and still very, very mild in my "first time mom" opinion. I was talking through them fine, laughing, and walking around predominantly unaffected. After another blood draw I was checked yet again — still 3cm but more effaced. Baby had dropped a bit and by 8:30pm they labelled his position a -1.
"Her body is doing all the normal early labor stuff. That's great!" — another encouraging text from the best doula ever.
Pitocin was started at 9pm, but at an extremely low dose (0.5 mU/min) — again, hoping Mother Nature would take over quickly! I didn't feel much change, so at 10pm a nurse upped it to 1 mU/min, and then increased it to 2 at 10:45pm, and then 3 later that night. All I remember was Dr. Drake stopping by around midnight, making rounds in a cute black leather jacket, reassuring me that things were going as well as we could have hoped. That night was also not fun, but I was able to stay in bed, propped uncomfortably by hospital pillows and constantly being checked on by nurses who needed blood pressure readings, fetal heart monitor adjustments and my temperature at all hours of the night. By the time the sun was coming up, I was getting nervous that my body would be too fatigued to handle labor well by the time it finally kicked in.
It felt like such a Catch-22 — I was petrified of the Pitocin-induced contractions I knew were coming, but I also knew that they had to get worse in order for the baby to come. I decided to spend Sunday on my feet as much as possible, or at least sitting on a birth ball doing hip rotations. This was my second morning waking up in the hospital, and by this time my chosen OB was out of town so the OB covering her stopped by around 8am to check me and decided to break my water. Everything ran clear so no extra concerns came up. I was still only 3-4cm dilated and 70% effaced. The plan was to take me off Pitocin completely for a few hours to allow me to walk around on the outside veranda at the hospital, eat and rest a bit. I paced and squatted and high-kneed my way all over that hospital wing...but with the Pitocin gone, the contractions simmered down as well. I was frustrated, but thankfully not in any pain.
The on-call OB came back in around noon to assess the situation and restart the Pitocin. His response to my disappointment was the phrase, "This isn't the Labor & Labor wing...it's the Labor & Delivery wing! We've gotta get this baby out!" Not a fan. He started me on 1 mU/min of Pitocin again at 12:30pm and then made a quick jump to 3 at 1:30pm. We spent the afternoon playing cards. I watched a little Felicity on my iPad. I bounced on the ball. I stood in a hot shower and tried to sing the baby down and out. This was the most I had felt contractions so far, but I was still using words like "annoying" and "tight" and "uncomfortable," as opposed to "painful" or "unbearable." A nurse jumped the Pitocin up by 1 every half hour from then on, per protocol.
By 3:45pm I was up to 7 mU/min. The contractions were just starting to feel like what I had imagined contractions to feel like, and according to the monitor, they were up to 2-3 minutes long and less than 4 minutes apart, which surprised the nurse. I was growing weary in my discomfort and focusing a lot more on my breath. Our doula would need a 45-minute heads-up to get to us, and we were told to call her when I felt like it was getting too tough to manage or I was checked and found to be 7cm...whichever came first.
Around 4:30pm we were watching the 90s film The Cutting Edge (I have no idea why and I have zero interest in ever finishing it.) Within seconds I went from nonchalantly bouncing on the ball to grasping at the floor on my hands and knees, reeling in pain so deep I was stricken with silence. David's last text to our doula was, "She's on hands and knees to deal with the pain. Gonna get in the tub soon. Probably would be helpful to have you start making your way here."
Ha, the tub. Before induction became my story, I had grand visions of candlelit baths at the birth center as I peacefully breathed my baby into a world of warm water. So once the contractions brought me to the ground, the nurse on duty began filling up the tub with warm water. I barely noticed. And when I finally did notice, I said a firm "NO," although I'm not sure any sound came out. I was dizzy with pain and worried I was going to throw up.
Our natural birth educator had been all about keeping the mom moving during labor — the dad's role was to get her to sip fluids so she'd have to pee (hydration!), then get her to walk a few feet to the toilet (movement!), and then hang out on the toilet for a while (squatting position!) before repeating it all over again. Well, that's essentially what happened (once) over the next half our before Alissa our doula arrived. The pain was overtaking me on the ground. I felt like everything was happening to me and nothing about the situation felt empowering. I was still wearing disposable underwear from when they had broken my waters that morning. I was hot but couldn't fully take off anything on my upper half because my arm was strapped to the IV pole. I felt like a dog on a leash. I wasn't in control. The peanut ball they had in the room was an awkward shape to try to lay on or lean on or even hold onto when I was on the floor. David tried to help in every possible way he could think of, but the reality was that we were wedged into a corner of the hospital room with the massive IV stand interrupting my every move.
After about 20 minutes of floor time and barely being able to talk or tell David what I needed, I remember muttering something about how I would be okay with looking into an epidural soon. When we were planning on the birth center, I knew epidurals weren't an option, and I was great with that because I knew I could do it (women have done it since the beginning of time) and it would be easier if it just wasn't an option to ask for in the first place. Going into my induction I remember telling David that all the rules of the game had changed. This was already going to be a fairly unnatural labor thanks to the Pit, and I wanted to be gracious with myself as I knew I'd be taking on a much faster and greater volume of pain potentially. My husband knows me well, and although he remembers feeling woozy watching me in such excruciating pain, he knew I was strong and that ultimately I wanted to forgo pain meds. He said Alissa was almost here and we could discuss our options with her. Between that conversation and Alissa's arrival, he helped me hobble into the bathroom, which only further confirmed that there was absolutely no chance I was getting into a tub. So, I sat on the toilet and David squatted facing me.
I truly had over a page of 'things to do to help ease labor pain' printed out, and every, single, one of them was rendered useless in the face of this pain that had gone from 0-60 in a matter of minutes. I only said about three sentences once we were in the bathroom portion of my labor. One of them was, "TURN IT OFF," as soon as my sweet husband started playing soft worship music from his phone (sorry, Kari Jobe, no hard feelings!). The second phrase was something along the lines of, "You need gum." My sense of smell was so powerful throughout labor and anything slightly off started waves of nausea — sorry husband (again, no hard feelings!).
I don't remember ever feeling a distinct 'dropping' sensation, but by the time I was sitting on the toilet, the upper, abdominal-wrapping pain of the initial contractions had focused down lower and was now coming in strong, full-body quakes. I felt helpless as I couldn't figure out whether or not to lean on David, grab his shoulders, wrap my arms around his neck, or get off the toilet altogether. But then the noises started. In past birth stories the primal screams that many women talk about always stood out to me. I was intrigued and a little terrified by them. And now I was feeling these uncontrollable, gut-wrenching sounds roaring out of the deepest parts of my chest cavity. I felt zero control over my own voice — at one point I wondered if I was actually having a seizure. The length of these contracting roars was increasing at the base of each of them I found I was struggling to catch my breath enough before the next one would start. The nurse came in and annoyingly pondered to herself that she had never seen such long contractions back to back like this so fast. Even David, who had obviously never seen a woman in active labor before, witnessed the fact that I could barely breathe in between them.
Alissa arrived (hallelujah!) and became an advocate for getting the Pit turned off since my body was clearly taking over now. The nurse came back in with the blood pressure cuff, which I wouldn't have even noticed had my hand not started to seize mid-contraction. I couldn't move my fingers. I remember David yelling at the nurse to take it off, but once she did, she started wrapping it around my calf because, "I've still got to get a good reading!" I was enraged, but only momentarily because the lion inside me took over again a few seconds later.
At this point no one had checked me since late that morning when I had been 3cm. Alissa (who was fully capable of checking me herself) knew she couldn't because she was technically just my guest in the hospital — but she wanted to. And I wanted her to. Especially after I told them it felt like I was pushing. The nurse was shocked that I already felt like I was pushing, and kind of shoved it aside in a "you're just a first-time mom who doesn't know anything" kind of way. Alissa and David were more concerned that I was indeed pushing, but possibly against a very small cervical dilation, which would be more painful and ultimately futile. The nurse wanted to check me but said she would only do it if I was on the bed, which was a good 15 feet away in the other room (in other words, YEAH RIGHT). Meanwhile, I was still barely able to breathe in between the roaring urges, my whole body shaking with each one.
Alissa brought a wet rag with drops of peppermint oil and draped it over the back of my neck — possibly the only little piece of helpfulness since the contractions had begun. Amidst trying to catch my breath, I finally reached down to see what was actually happening to my body, and I felt something that I was sure was his head. It had all happened so fast, and no one believed I had dilated that much that quickly, but lo and behold I had essentially gone through transition while I was on the toilet without even realizing what stage I was in.
I do not remember walking to the bed. Or getting on it. But they allowed me to lay on my side because I had made it clear previously that I have an old tailbone injury that would make laboring on my back excruciating (thank you, chiropractic doctor Nicole Barry for enlightening me here!). So there we were, my eyes were closed tight while the nurse and doula peered down below and quickly verified that I WAS AT A TEN AND SHOULD PUSH WHEN I FELT LIKE PUSHING!
I still had the nurse from the day trying to get my blood pressure cuff on, while also rubbing the fetal heart monitor over my lower abdomen (yes, as I was pushing) to check on the baby as he exited the birth canal. Alissa was holding one of my legs at one point (bless her). Suddenly there was a bit of franticness as the doctor told me to hold my breath and count as I pushed even though I didn't feel a contraction. [This was something I had NOT wanted to do, and it was in these next moments that I tore some. Later they told me it was because they couldn't find his heartbeat momentarily and the cord was getting wrapped, so they wanted him out faster than I would have liked. I realize this was all for the safety of my baby's life — but I'll always be curious if the outcome would have been even more successful if they had let nature fully take its course.] I remember feeling like I was tearing forward, up toward my stomach, which I had not expected to feel (thankfully I didn't tear that direction at all, but the feeling was powerful and frightening).
And then, after just a few of the instructed pushes, a flush of relief swept over me and he was here and he was well. My first words, post all the screaming, were, "IS HE OKAY?!" Because he was "late preterm" they rushed him to a cart just a few feet away (in my room) to check his lungs and vitals (all with victorious results!). He didn't need any help. Looking back, I'm surprised I wasn't near as sad as I had imagined about not getting that immediate skin-to-skin contact or delayed cord clamping. But those 5-10 minutes following his arrival were so blurred by my intense relief and joy that he was out and he was okay — there were no regrets.
David ended up getting to cut the stump of the cord a little shorter since the doctor had quickly cut it to get his levels checked. David stayed with him all within my line of sight while I remained on the bed and awaited the placenta. My clothes were half-off but trapped on my arm due to the IV tower that still loomed. I was stitched up slowly, but relatively painlessly, and halfway through, Levi was placed on my chest. His eyes were wide open, and his skin was wrinkly. He looked so tiny, but he ended up being over my goal weight! A solid six pounds, three ounces and nineteen inches long. My sweet boy, Levi Caspian Given had arrived.
*Cytotec (generic name: misoprostol) is a drug approved by the FDA for reducing the risk of gastric ulcers, but is often used off-label in pregnancy to induce labor and ripen the cervix despite being classified by the FDA as a Pregnancy Category X drug due to its abortifacient property, meaning the risks of prescribing the drug to pregnant women outweighs the potential benefits (SOURCE).

Beverly Hills is, above all, a small town for the wealthy. Less than six square miles in size, Beverly Hills is strictly a neighborhood of homes and shops. The city has churches, but it has no smokestacks; it has restaurants, but no industry; boutiques, but no billboards; parks, but no eyesores. There's not even a hospital or a cemetery in the city to remind the residents of their mortality. It has been said that, technically, no one is born or dies in Beverly Hills.
Beverly Hills is a place for the fortunate to live in comfort, and to shop and dine at their leisure. It just so happens that many of these fortunate few are celebrities. On the city's tree-lined streets, you'll see more stretch limos, shining Mercedes-Benzes, and sleek Ferraris per square mile than at any other place on earth. Even the fireplugs in Beverly Hills are painted a gleaming silver. The city's first mayor (back in 1926) was a celebrity: actor Will Rogers

Comparing two people's genomes at the same location in the DNA may reveal that the first person has an A, whereas the second person has a G. If the first person is taller than the second, we could conclude that having the A base makes you taller. By comparing thousands of people we can be more precise in exactly how much the A contributes to a difference in height. By looking at every place in the genome there is variation, we can add up the the contributions of height differences into one total value that is called a polygenic risk score. The higher the score, the taller you likely are. However, there are many other factors that contribute to differences in height, such as diet and susceptibility to disease. To make the best prediction we plan on incorporating all of these related features into one model. Using machine learning, we can find any non-obvious interactions between these features and produce the best prediction. However, even with this comprehensive approach there will likely be some people who have a high score yet are still short. To investigate why this is, we plan on carrying out typical analyses comparing each feature to the per person errors, along with quantile regression, which isolates trends within one risk level of the model. Lastly, in order to provide greater utility to these scores we will use Mendelian Randomization, which effectively creates a randomized control trial and determines any causal links between score and clinical factors. Together, this work should help doctors understand which patients are at greatest risk of a disease and should therefore be prescribed a different medication or be checked on more regularly. Similar models already exist, and are just beginning to be used by doctors, yet none of them include the multitude of features proposed here. Each of these added features, such as occupation and medication history, are already taken into consideration on their own – so it would seem rational that they would combine to form more powerful predictions and therefore better patient care.

Hi, i recently adopted a 4 year old galah who. Makes no noise at all! I have not heard a singlesound from him and i have had him for about a month now. I have no background on him prior to when i adopted him as apparently his owner just abandoned him.
He lets me scratch him now and he is getting a little more comfy but still no sound whatsoever. I have another galah who is very talkative and amusing who stays in another cage right next to his although they are both open for about 8 hours a day. They are getting to know each other pretty well now, in the beginning my 1st galah would beak him constantly but now there is no more beaking so it things are going well, my ultimate goal is to have them breed but i am taking it slowly.
Any advice on his lack of sound?
Thanks for the reply Tracie, ill try and look for an avian vet... Although his health seems fine as he eats well, his bowels are fine and he moves around and flies a lot.
It is not normal for a bird to not make any noise at all. It is likely that the bird is ill or has a disease.
Here in the USA most people believe that birds should be seen by an avian vet before bringing them home. This prevents us from bringing home a disease or illness that might kill the rest of the flock or even infect our families.
Because Dr B can not tell if your bird is sick without a physical examination and probably running tests, you need to try to Find an Avian Vet in your country if you can. I suggest you call a really good breeder and ask who they take their birds to.

As part of the Olympic celebrations EDF has created a spectacular nightly lightshow on the London Eye, based on the mood of the nation. An algorithm tracks all positive and negative Olympic tweets from the 10 million UK users to give a positivity percentage, which is translated into illumination on the London icon. Visitors can participate in this interactive campaign through digital and social media activity.
This fascinating project involved Google partnering with Coca-Cola and Art Director Harvey Gabor, to re-imagine his iconic 70's "Hilltop" commercial for today's digital age. The 'I'd like to buy the world a Coke' was turned into a reality using Google's display advertising platform and specially-developed vending machines. In the spirit of the original work, users, via a website or mobile site, could record a message and send it with a Coca-Cola to someone on the other side of the world where it is dispensed from a vending machine along with the message. The lucky recipient can then respond with a text or video message completing the connection. The experiment was used to push the boundaries of how creative idea and technology can work hand-in-hand, and is proof that great ideas really do come first.
Bleacher Report is posting its real-time Team Stream content on digital billboards allowing sports fans to interact with the content and to choose updates on any team they want by tweeting @bleacherreport. The ground-breaking technology leverages localised twitter handles to provide a custom feed. Prepare for the battle of the fans!
One for all of those high-street shoppers, a new offer-based media platform is launching that will offer mobile vouchers in central London via free public Wi-Fi. Users will be given free Wi-Fi access in return for selecting a free promotional offer from one of the brand advertising partners; a genuine win-win situation.
Coca-Cola's Spanish lemonade brand, Limon & Nada, set up vending machines that offer discounts according to how hot the weather is with the cost of a can ranging from 2€ for temperatures up to 25˚C to 1€ at 30˚C plus. A great way of rewarding consumers when they most need it and in doing so creating brand advocates.
There have been several examples of advertisers using vending machines to reward social interaction. One of the latest examples is from Nokia who set up a social machine in the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai that gave gifts in exchange for Foursquare check-ins and NFC interactions. Prizes include sweets, Nokia devices, movie tickets and other goodies, all dispersed when a user shares their check-in.
Is this the Future for Street Art?
Here's a modern take on graffiti… Stiktu, a mobile & social app, encourages people to photograph real-world objects, graffiti them virtually on their smartphone and then share them through social media. The app could be used in the future to encourage interaction with posters or even, for brave advertisers, to allow users to add design to 'blank' canvases.

I have been inspired by a host of artist's both living and dead, whose works made me stop and think about my creative process, or how I might create art a bit differently than I had before. My work at different stages/periods have reflected the influences of artists such as Picasso, Romare Bearden, Francesco Scavullo,…..
As an art instructor, I often hear the lament of students stating that, "I don't have a style," or "My work doesn't look like ME." Though we've all heard it before, the old saying, Don't worry about finding your style, your style will find YOU, is very true. In the beginning, most aspiring painters learn…..

Question: Was William McClellin disappointed in the endowment at the Kirtland Temple?
FAIR Answers Wiki Table of Contents
William McLellin was disappointed in the endowment, because McLellin did not receive what he sought
McLellin was among the first apostles called in this dispensation, on 14 February 1835.[1] McLellin was present for the dedication, but was disappointed with it. He wrote, "We passed through it [the Kirtland endowment]; but I, in all candor say, we were most egregiosly mistaken or disappointed!"[2] McLellin went on to describe the reason for his disappointment:
In a few days I said to Joseph: "I am disappointed! I supposed—yet, I believed that during the endowment, I should get knowledge but I have not."
He said to me, "What do you want?"
I said, "I want to know for myself (italics in original)."[3]
There is no mention here of those who claim to receive knowledge being drunk—we learn only that McLellin did not receive what he sought. This was a recurring theme of McLellin's—he often mentioned the endowment and the fact that it was a disappointment, or did not achieve what was anticipated. For example:
McLellin forms "Church of Christ" with Martin Harris and others. The new Church faults Joseph Smith for "Engineering the 'endowment' at the Kirtland Temple in March and April 1836, which failed to meet expectation because the Lord would not endow His spirit in those who had drifted so far from divine purpose."[4]
"disappointed" because he did not know for himself.[5]
"I told him [Joseph] I wanted knowledge and power from God; that as an Apostle I might go forth to the nationis of the earth, and preach to them in their own lip the pure gospel of the Lord."[6]
"I don't believe, in the attempted endowment in the Temple in Kirtland in 1836. It was an entire failure."[7]
"I do not believe in the authority that dedicated Zion or the Temple in Kirtland. There was no power from God shown forth in those pretended dedications; as was seen and known when Solomon's Temple was dedicated in Jerusalem. If ceremony and nothing but form was seen in Joseph's dedications then we are prepared to say they were not of God; but only manism and nothing more.[8]

Life In Plastic: SNAKE FACE!!!
April 12, 2013 · by ridureyu	· in Columns, Life in Plastic, Toys.	·
Heyo! Snake Face, the latest in Mattel's Masters of the Universe offerings, will be up for sale this Monday! Knowing the way that MattyCollector works, you're going to want to try to buy him as fast as possible. Now, Snake Face isn't the most obscure He-Man character out there, but he's not exactly Skeletor either, ya know? And since we all know how much I like Medusa types (Yeah, we do), this is as good an opportunity as any to brush up on our Snake Face-Ology! Fun little trivia: In Dungeons & Dragons, "Gorgon" is reserved for a type of metal bull (long story), with "medusa" used for the snake-haired female creatures. A male D&D Medusa is called a Maedar. And now you know! Snake Face is technically kindasorta a Maedar! Sort of. Old-school Maedars looked human and could turn stones into meat, while newer Maedars have poisonous hypnotic gazes. Maybe Snake Face has some gender identity issues going on…
Real Name: Cyltho Ssstavvve Originally a minor training officer in the Unnamed One's Serpent Army, Cyltho Ssstavvve drew King Hssss' attention after he was enchanted with the ability to turn his enemies to stone by the Great Black Wizard. Quickly brought into Hssss' inner circle, Snake Face™ often acted as the Viper King's second in command during the Great Wars with Grayskull™. He was trapped with the entire Snake Army in the Void for five millennia, but eventually was called forth by King Hssss™ to do battle once again after their release – this time against new enemies – He-Man® and the Masters of Universe®! Snake Face™ slithers after his enemy, then turns him to stone!
Was there a sale on the letter V? Mattel needs to work on their names – which is funny, since "Cyltho Stave" would have been much less awkward and silly. But that's this guy's story. And in the MOTUC timeline, all the Snake Men died when He-man and Orko cast the "Spell of Separation," which genocided them quite thoroughly. And took out peaceful snake people. Whoops! Okay, that's Snake Face's current spot in everything. Now let's look at his presence in other media.
THE CLASSIC CARTOON
Nope. Nada. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was already off the air by the time Snake Face's toy came out, so he never appeared on-screen. Thus, kids had to rely on the toy and the mini comic.
THE CLASSIC FIGURE
Although Snake Face's original figure looked a little chunky, but had one of those awesome action features where you're not entirely sure how the mechanism worked. The snakes in his eyes and mouth could extend outward, which made him pretty creepy for an early '80s child's toy. You could also fold out some more snakes from the front of his armor, which completed his misplaced Medusa look. I assume that any hair-snakes were hidden inside his helmet. Sure, the action feature meant that he couldn't turn his head, but we were kids. We ate this sort of thing up!
THE MINI-COMICS
Snake Face had a few appearances in the mini-comics! Well, two. He played a pretty big role in Revenge of the Snake-Men, when King Hsss summoned his whole army, and used Snake Face as kind of a tactical nuke. Seriously, the guy stoned almost everybody. It backfired at the end of the comic when He-Man used his shield to reflect Snake Face's gaze back on him, and turn all the Snake Men to stone, though. Snake Face later appeared in the Energy Zoids comic, where he turned Rotor to stone, and he also had a small cameo role in the He-Man comics by Marvel.
THE 200x CARTOON
Unlike in the original, Snake Face had a role in the remake! Snake Face's tenure in the cartoon was actually really similar to the mini-comics. He made his first appearance when King Hsss and all his Snake Men were freed, and distinguished himself by turning SKeletor's Evil Warriors to stone. He also shattered Mer-Man's statue, which sent the online community all in a tizzy. No, really, I remember. Mind you, Skeletor fixed Mer-Man and turned him back, but we didn't know that it was going to be that way.
Snake Face was instrumental in Hsss's assault on Castle Grayskull, since having Medusa powers is a completely broken ability. This lasted until he fought He-Man, who had apparently read the comic and used his shield to reflect Snake Face's stone gaze back on him. The Snake Face statue was kept in the dungeon for the rest of the series, and intermittently showed up in the background. He never got out.
THE 200x TOYLINE
The regular line of action figures died out before they could get around to releasing Snake Face, but he DID show up in one of NECA's "Stactions" – immobile statues that looked for all the world like normal action figures. It had to do with licensing – basically, NECA was allowed to produce statues, but nothing with any articulation. So they got to release product that had been designed for the toy line, but never made it onto shelves. Unfortunately, these things are pretty rare and expensive these days. FUN FACT: With some time, effort, and a dremel, you can totally turn them into articulated action figures!
Snake Face's Staction was a pretty good representation of his look in the 200x cartoon, even though it lacked his face snakes.
So, there you have it! Snake Face's history in the Masters of the Universe universe! Wow, that sounded awkward and redundant. Okay… Snake Face's history in the He-Man universe!
