A California teacher has filed a lawsuit against the city of Ceres, Ceres's police department, officer Lorenzo Beltran, and several unnamed individuals in federal court.
According to the teacher, David Cole, a school resource officer visited his home and harassed him after Cole had reported incidents of anti-gay bullying at his school.
From the Modesto Bee:
David Cole made the accusations against school resource officer Lorenzo Beltran in a federal complaint, and last week told The Bee he struggles to feel safe after the incident two years ago. Cole added he has lost 75 pounds while dealing with insomnia and gastrointestinal issues from the distress.
The lawsuit claims Beltran and a plainclothes officer entered Cole's gated community when school was closed for a holiday in February 2019 and ordered Cole to exit his home. Outside, Beltran allegedly questioned Cole about his reports of anti-gay student bullying, repeatedly gestured toward his gun and pressured the teacher to quit his job or go to the closed school with them.
Cole begged Beltran to leave, but the officer allegedly refused. The now 54-year-old teacher eventually ran into his home when his partner of 30 years opened the door after listening to the exchange, the lawsuit claims.

Ceres Unified School District paid Cole a $50,000 settlement in 2020 after firing him in 2019.
The city maintains Beltran only visited Cole as a 'welfare check' at the request of the school saying Cole had missed scheduled meetings.
Cole says he and his partner are now very concerned about their personal well-being when outside their home.
"Now we're scared to even be who we are," Cole said. "That complete turnaround in my life to go from starting Rainbow Generation, the first queer club in the Central Valley at a school, to being terrified and not wanting the police to know it's me or know that I'm gay. That's where I'm at: just terrified of being outside in Ceres and at home."

Georgia Sec Of State: 'The Kraken Cracks Under Pressure'
Attorney Sidney Powell (screen capture)
Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, issued a statement today regarding former legal adviser to Donald Trump Sidney Powell who repeatedly claimed there was election fraud in the Peach State.
Among other things, Powell alleged without evidence that Dominion Voting Systems was part of a massive international communist plot to rig the election. Powell never presented any evidence to back up her claims.
In January, Dominion filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against Powell over her conspiracy theories.
But this week, Powell's legal team filed a statement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia asking for the case to be dismissed saying "no reasonable person would conclude that [her] statements were truly statements of fact."
The statement from Raffensperger, titled 'The Kraken Cracks Under Pressure,' states, "In the face of legal action, Sidney Powell admitted that her effort to make millions lying to the American people had no facts to begin with."
In the court filing, Powell and her lawyers point to Dominion's criticism that Powell's claims were "wild accusations," "outlandish claims," "inherently improbable," or "impossible" as evidence that "reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact but view them only as claims."
Powell and her legal team now say that her claims about voter fraud, stolen elections, or switched votes were merely "her opinions and legal theories."
It's worth noting that Powell's claims in the weeks following the 2020 election helped fuel belief that the election was 'stolen' which led to the violent insurrection of the U.S. Capitol building on January 6. Seven people died as a result of that event as well has dozens seriously injured.
Over 4,000 lawyers have signed an open letter calling for disciplinary action to be taken against Powell for her outrageous behavior following the 2020 election.
I'd like Sidney Powell to tell this to every single one of the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th with intent to hang the Vice President and murder the Speaker of the House.
I'd like her to tell this to the families of the murdered Capitol Police officers. https://t.co/8AIOUvKh42

Lawsuit Against Kathy Griffin By Covington Catholic Students Dismissed
Comedian Kathy Griffin
A lawsuit filed against comedian Kathy Griffin by a group of students from Covington Catholic in Kentucky has been dismissed (again) by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
I'm sure you remember the sad tale of the Covington students who were involved in a standoff with a group of Native Americans in Washington D.C. on January 18, 2019.
Video footage of student Nick Sandmann, wearing a red MAGA hat standing face to face with Native American elder Nathan Phillips, went viral as the young student was viewed by many as being disrespectful to the Native American elder.
Sandmann later said he was trying to "defuse" the situation by standing still and "remaining calm."
In the aftermath, Sandmann and his family sought to cash in on what they believed was his victimhood in the situation calling out media outlets for defaming and vilifying him.
Sandmann sued and eventually settled with CNN and the Washington Post.
The group of students in this case alleged harm by Griffin when she tweeted, "Names please, and stories from people who can identify them and vouch for their identity. Thank you."
"Maybe you should let this fine Catholic school know how you feel about their students (sic) behavior toward the Vietnam veteran, Native American #NathanPhillips," she said in a follow-up tweet.
But the Cincinnati Enquirer reports the 6th U.S. Circuit Court ruled on Tuesday that Covington Catholic students cannot bring harassment claims against Griffin.
You mean ME? They were also charging me with "cyber terrorism" and "cyber terroristic threats".
TWO YEARS these magas were trying to get my money.
Unlike CNN and the Washington Post, I fought it and I won. https://t.co/12BYqSTvth
— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) February 25, 2021
U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman had granted a request from Griffin to dismiss the case but the students appealed that decision to the 6th Circuit.
Bertelsman also dismissed the students' defamation and harassment lawsuits against CNN, the Washington Post and NBC.
A three-judge panel at the 6th Circuit upheld Bertelsman's ruling saying the 'Kentucky longarm statute' being cited in the cases had no jurisdiction regarding Griffin since she hadn't "committed any act 'in [the] Commonwealth' of Kentucky."
Circuit Judge Julia Gibbons wrote in the decision, "To satisfy that provision of the longarm statute, the 'cause of action must arise from defendant's activities' in Kentucky."
Additionally, the panel found, "there is no evidence that the defendants posted the tweets hoping to reach Kentucky specifically as opposed to their Twitter followers generally."
And….done.

Lawsuit Alleges VA Docs Failed To Inform Veteran He Was HIV+ For 20 Years
A Navy veteran living in South Carolina has filed a lawsuit against the Veterans Administration claiming he tested positive for HIV over 20 years ago and his doctors never informed him of the diagnosis.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court this week, alleges the medical staff at the William Jennings Bryan Dorn VA center in Columbia, South Carolina, failed to tell him an HIV test taken in 1995 came back positive. If true, the failure allowed the virus to progress for 20 years.
The veteran is referred to as "John Doe" in the filing to protect his medical privacy.
According to the local Columbia newspaper The State, the lawsuit reads, "The VA had actual knowledge beginning in November 1995 that Mr. Doe was HIV positive and the standard of care required he be informed of the positive test and proper treatment begin in 1995."
"In clear contravention of the standard of care, Mr. Doe was not informed of the positive HIV test until decades later," continues the filing.
The patient's medical records reportedly mention his HIV diagnosis in subsequent visits but there's no apparent record of the patient being informed he was HIV-positive.
'Doe' only learned of his status while seeing a non-VA physician who mentioned the diagnosis in passing during a December 2015 examination.
The doctor wrote in his notes, "I looked at the patient and ask (sic) him who was his infectious disease doctor, and patient states (he) did not have one and (I) ask (sic) him if he knew that his HIV test was positive, and he stated (he) never was told it was positive."
According to reports, the veteran didn't begin receiving antiretroviral treatment until he was admitted to a non-VA hospital in New York in 2018 at which point he had developed full-blown AIDS.
The lawsuit, which requests an unspecified amount for punitive damages, claims the man's health and immune system are permanently affected.
"The treatment he's getting now is effective, but he's had essentially 25 years of wear and tear for having no treatment," said his lawyer, Chad McGowan, told Navy Times.
"He feels extremely guilty about the girlfriends he's had over the last 25 years because he didn't know," McGowan added.
Had 'Doe' had been informed of his status in a timely manner, McGowan says his client "would not have suffered the losses he has suffered, and will continue to suffer in the future, and more likely than not, he would not have developed AIDS."
The medical director of the Dorn VA facility declined to comment due to the pending litigation.
Student Doctor Sues Over Anti-Gay Harassment During NYC Residency
A doctor in New York City has filed a lawsuit alleging he was repeatedly the target of homophobic comments during his first-year residency at The Brooklyn Hospital Center.
The New York Post reports Dr. Chad Jensen, a surgical resident, says among the vulgar jokes made at his expense was a supervisor referring to him as a member of the ATM or 'a** to mouth crew.'
In his lawsuit, filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court, Jensen alleges the surgical residency program director, Dr. Armand Asarian, and Dr. Sandeep Sirsi, the associate director, "regularly made hateful, anti-gay comments about their gay patients and unscientific judgments that these patients' own 'lifestyle' caused their illnesses."
The 32-year-old physician, who left the residency program before his year was up, told the Post he was surprised to experience 'that kind of discrimination' in New York City.
Jensen moved to New York City from California in June 2017 to take the one-year residency. It was during that time he came out as gay.
"It just reinforced all of those fears, essentially putting me back into those 29 years that I was living in fear, feeling like I couldn't be myself," Jensen told the Post.
According to the lawsuit, the Brooklyn Hospital Center did determine after Jensen's departure that he "had been harassed because of his sexual orientation." Asarian was reportedly removed as director of the surgical residency program and Sirsi was forced to resign.
Jensen is now a resident in the Bronx at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln.
He tells the Post he brought the lawsuit because he felt "like he had no voice."
"It made me think of all the other people in this country that are also gay and feel like they have nowhere to go and it leads them down dark paths," Jensen explained to the Post. "So me coming forward, I wanted to let people know that they're not alone."
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and asks for the hospital to institute anti-bias training.

Missouri Cop Told To 'Tone Down Gayness' Agrees To $10M Settlement
Lt. Keith Wildhaber of the St. Louis County Police Department, who was awarded a $20 million judgment in a sexual orientation discrimination lawsuit last October, has agreed to a $10.25 million settlement.
It's believed the county planned on appealing the ruling, and so Wildhaber came to this agreement to avoid a protracted appeals process.
You may recall Wildhaber, who is openly gay, sued St. Louis County after being passed over for promotion 23 times. Wildhaber said he was being discriminated against due to his sexual orientation.
In the lawsuit, Wildhaber alleged a member of the St. Louis County Board of Police Commissioners told him that if he wanted to get promoted, "you should tone down your gayness."
More from ABC News:
According to the settlement papers filed Tuesday morning in a St. Louis County court, Wildhaber is to receive a little more than $6.4 million and his attorneys will get about $3.8 million.
Prior to going to trial last year, Wildhaber and his lawyers offered to settle the case for $850,000 plus an immediate promotion of Wildhaber to lieutenant, according to a timeline of the case released by Page's office. Steve Stenger, the previous St. Louis County Executive, ignored the offer, according to the timeline.
Stenger was later indicted on federal charges in a pay-for-play scandal. He pleaded guilty in August to charges of bribery, mail fraud and depriving citizens of honest services of a public official and sentenced to 46 months in prison.
Following the October jury verdict in Wildhaber's case, Belmar promoted Wildhaber from sergeant to lieutenant. Belmar also created the police department's Diversity and Inclusion Unit and put Wildhaber in charge of it, Page said.
Just hours before the settlement was made public, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar announced he will retire in April. St. Louis County Executive Sam Page said the retirement had nothing to do with the settlement.
Sure, Jan…

The Elizabeth Tower (named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee) stands at the north end of the Houses of Parliament and dates back to 1859. Those with special permission can climb the 399 steps to the Ayrton Light at the very top, while the rest of us can stay ground-level and stick around after the sun sets to see the four clock faces beautifully illuminated.

It's been a truly exciting week for the Hastings Crossing Business Improvement Association. After nearly two years of navigating the intricacies of Vancouver's civic bureaucracy, working with various design consultants and engagement teams, planners and local community groups, Strathcona BIA and Hastings Crossing BIA enjoyed the launch of our joint Urban Tree Nursery project. Dozens of trees are now being incubated in concrete planters along Hastings Street in front of various businesses, who have all agreed to be stewards of the trees along with other community members, until they are mature enough for resale. In attendance with scores of residents and businesses were NDP MLA Jenny Kwan, Vancouver City Councillor and BIA Liaison, Heather Deal, Kelly Lam of TD Bank and Richard Walker from Tree Canada. Representing Hastings Crossing BIA was Chair of the Board of Directors, Heather O'Hara of Potluck Cafe and Catering (soon to be moving on to City Studio, but remaining on the HxBIA Board as an authorized representative). Beautiful traditional welcoming dances from local first nations neighbours opened up the festivities and educatioal presentations from Meg O'Shea and Jon Mackin, who were instrumental in bringing the project into the final stages of its launch, followed after that. There is a lot of excitement about this project, an pilot of sorts, to see if we can reforest the inner-city through entrepreneurial and community led approaches, to compliment the ongoing commitments by Parks Board and other departments at the City of Vancouver. Helping the City reach its goal of 150,000 new trees planted in Vancouver proper by 2020 as per the Greenest City 2020 Action Plan. We know this is a drop in the bucket, but it's the way in which we have tried to monetize and manage these trees that's most exciting, not the scale or volume of foliage itself. That being said, the trees do make an impact on the streetscape and we're proud to see this come to life finally. Big thanks to the team at Strathcona BIA for all their work. We're lucky, and happy, to be associated with this project and with you.

Prison Realignment Causing Changes in Prisoner Profiles
August 16, 2013 by Michael Calvin Holmes
'Counties are incarcerating the vast majority of newly sentenced felons'
Prison realignment is compounding overcrowding at California's county jails, and is causing significant changes in who is incarcerated and for how long.
Those are the major conclusions of a nine-page report issued in 2012 by the Public Policy Institute of California, and independent research organization.
Realignment was Gov. Jerry Brown's response to court orders to reduce prison overcrowding. It was enacted by the Legislature with passage of AB109.
"California has given its counties enormous new responsibilities for corrections— including authority over many new types of felony offenders and parolees. Rather than go to state prison, these offenders now go to county jail or receive an alternative sanction," the report notes.
"In the first few months of realignment, California's jail population increased noticeably— but many jails were already facing capacity concerns. We find that some offenders who would have been incarcerated prior to realignment are now either not locked up or are not spending as much time in jail. Going forward, counties will need to consider a wide variety of approaches for handling their capacity concerns and their expanded offender populations."
The report concludes, "California's county jails faced serious capacity constraints even before realignment began—and in spite of a declining jail population. It now appears that realignment will add substantial pressures and force counties to make some difficult decisions."
"Evidence from the first three months of realignment suggests that, as expected, counties are incarcerating the vast majority of newly sentenced felons. But inmates awaiting or on trial are less likely now than they were before realignment to be incarcerated — or they are being incarcerated for shorter periods of time," the report says. "Parole or PRCS technical violators are also less likely to spend time behind bars—and may even spend no time at all."
"The effect of these changes on public safety in the state will be among the most consequential—and watched—outcomes of realignment," the report adds.
The courts ordered the California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation to reduce its population down to 137.5 percent of designed capacity. The court's decision was based on findings that California state prison's mental and medical health care suffered severely due to the overcrowding of prison inmates, which resulted in violating their constitutional rights.
According to county jail ADP, before AB 109 realignment, county jail population had been on the decline. Since the realignment, county jail's ADP appears to have increased by 4,000 inmates.
Although current data does not provide specific detail on how the shift from prisons to county jails population was achieved, the data does show that in the first three months of realignment, there was a significant decrease of felons in prisons and an increase of offenders in county jails.
Also, it was found that the daily county jail population increases by one inmate for every three felons who are no longer housed in prison.
In 2007, AB 900 earmarked $1.2 billion in state matching funds for county jail expansions. In June of this year, SB1022 made $500 million in state funds (with a county match of 10 percent) available to counties for jail construction. Nevertheless, California county jails are still saying that they are overwhelmed and in need of more funds to accommodate the overflow of inmates.
Options the report suggests to relieve jail crowding include releasing certain pretrial inmates who can not make bail, or release an inmate on his or her own recognizance. Furthermore, counties can also implement alternatives to jail time: such as inmates attending day reporting centers; substance abuse treatment programs; work release or restorative justice programs; or home detention with electronic monitoring.

California's Crime Rates Below National Average
February 12, 2013 by Michael Calvin Holmes
California's crime rates are falling, according to recent reports by Attorney General Kamala Harris and a research group.
The state's crime rates have been declining since 1980 (before the Three Strikes Law) and is now below the national rate, according to a September 2012 report called Crime Trends by the Public Policy Institute of California.
Violent crime increased between 1960 and 1992, but is now on the decline, according to federal criminal justice agencies. Property crime, however, dipped to its lowest since 1960, but is now on the rise.
"Had the state begun considering ways to reduce the prison population years ago, based on the evidence, we wouldn't be where we are today," the report concludes.
Here is a breakdown of California crime rates, as reported by the attorney general:
Motor vehicle theft declined 62.3 percent since peaking in 1989.
The burglary rate went from 1,225.9 per 100,000 population in 1966 to 612.9 per 100,000 populations in 2011.
Arson declined 43.7 percent from 2006 to 2011.
Aggravated assault declined steadily since peaking in 1992.
Violent crime decreased 2.1 percent from 2010 to 2011, reaching its lowest level since 1968.
Homicides decreased 56.2 percent from 1993 to 2011 Here is a breakdown of California arrest rates, according to the AG:
Misdemeanor arrests decreased for a third consecutive year.
Felony arrests decreased for the sixth consecutive year.
Juvenile homicide arrests decreased 25 percent.
Adult homicide arrests decreased 3.6 percent.
Both adult and juvenile total arrest rates decreased 35 percent from 2006 to 2011.
The total arrest rate of 4,092.2 per 100,000 at-risk for 2011 is 10.2 percent lower than the 2010 total.
California made two changes in its laws that affected arrest and crime data:
–The limit of felony theft was raised from $400 to $950, resulting in a decline in felony theft arrests and the increase in misdemeanor theft arrests.
–Some misdemeanor marijuana statutes were re-classified as infractions. This led to a decline in misdemeanor marijuana arrests.
"I find it revealing that research data shows that crime rates have been on the decline since 1980; given the fact that law enforcement and politicians justified the Three Strikes Law by insisting that crime rates were up," said R. Simpson of San Quentin's H-Unit dorm housing.
"I am unaware that crime rates have been on the decline since 1980. I think too many people were sent to prison for minor issues, when the courts could have used alternatives to incarceration," said R. Davenport, a resident of San Quentin's Donner Block.

One Tough "Bird"
Here's a player who spent 11 seasons in baseball, managed for another 11 seasons and was gone way too soon:
Card #9 -- Johnny Oates, Baltimore Orioles
Johnny Oates actually spent 1973 with the Atlanta Braves after being traded after the '72 season was over. However, since he was included in the first series of cards Topps issued, there apparently wasn't any time for them to summon the airbrush artist to give him a new uniform.
With the O's, Braves, Phillies, Dodgers and the Yankees, Oates was primarily a backup catche between 1970 and '81. While regraded an exceptional defensive backstop, he was a lifetime .250 hitter. He was able to make the postseason every season from 1976-'78, playing in two World Series with the Dodgers.
He was also one of the many thinking catchers who went on to become managers. The second career started almost immediately after his retirement; he guided the Yankees' AA Nashville affiliate to the Southern League championship in his first year as their skipper in 1982. The next year, he guided AAA Columbus to a first-place divisional finish. After a stint as coache for the Cubs, he moved to the Baltimore organization and won another league championship before moving to the parent club's staff.
His chance to become a major league skipper came in 1991 when he took over for Frank Robinson to lead the Orioles, the team that gave him his first big league break. In 1995, he took the reigns of the Rangers and won three divisional titles in the six full years he led them. Unfortunately, those teams were promptly trounced by the late-90s Yankee dynasty.
Fired early in the 2001 season, Oates was considering a return to managing but was dealt a cruel hand by fate. His diagnosis: a brain tumor, an agressive type that his doctors said would give him just one year. The old catcher wasn't willing to surrender the plate, though, and fought it for more than three years. He passed away in 2004.

In the center of Jersey City, N.J.'s, emerging financial and art district, the Hyatt House Jersey City offers a glamorous, yet approachable, aesthetic that welcomes guests from all walks of life. The adaptive reuse of the First National Bank of Jersey City has 14 stories, including a rooftop and 258 apartment-style suites equipped with kitchens and living rooms. Although many of the building's original design elements were lost to time, Hyatt House Jersey City plays up its historic elegance with its restored octagonal ceilings. Across the Hudson River, views include the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the Freedom Tower.
The Terrace Bar welcomes relaxation and socialization with original culinary concepts and cocktails, and The Rooftop at Exchange Place has fireplaces and water features facing the Hudson River. A separate glass elevator provides direct street access to Hyatt House Jersey City's lounge and bars for locals and guests. When guests enter the property, they are immediately brought up to the 13th floor reception area. From there, they are taken downstairs to the guestrooms.
Initially, the space was green and gold, but Hyatt House brand standards called for more neutral colors. "We've created something that will last longer. You feel comfortable walking in. It's glamorous, but approachable. It's reminiscent of someone's really nice home," Stagias says.

Race: Jesse Owens Deserves Better
The 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin were Nazi Germany's coming out party. It was Adolf Hitler's moment to prove his Germany was far stronger than the Germany that barely survived World War I. More importantly, it was an opportunity to show the superiority of his "Aryan race." It all came crashing down, however, when an African American track and field athlete from Ohio State won every Olympic Gold he competed for. This man proved Hitler's philosophy false on the largest of international stages.
This man's name was Jesse Owens.
Race Trailer
Race chronicles Jesse Owens' life from the start of his collegiate career to the games themselves. Starring Stephan James as Owens and Jason Sudeikis in his first dramatic role as Owens' coach Larry Snyder, the film focuses on the challenges Owens faces both as a black man in pre-Civil Rights America and as an athlete struggling to balance his training with his personal life.
As someone who did not know anything about Jesse Owens or the 1936 Summer Olympics, I was the ideal viewer for this film. It successfully introduced me to an incredible athlete whose victory could not be more symbolic or cinematic if it tried. And yet, the film fails to match the remarkable nature of the Jesse Owens story. Instead of pushing the limits of what sport films could be, Race disappoints with dialogue that is awkward at its best and cringe worthy at its worst.
Beside dialogue, the film's main weakness is its conflict. From the marketing, we know that Owens will participate in the Olympics. Because of that, I struggle to understand why Race spends so much time dragging out the question of whether or not Owens would attend the Olympics. While I am not saying it needs to be ignored all together, I do believe that the conflict was not worth spending so much time on since we know the outcome and do not feel any tension from his struggle. The film is at its strongest when in Germany. The director, Stephen Hopkins, does well in building Nazi Germany up as the terrifying threat we know it to be. When everyone arrives to Berlin, one cannot help but be wary of the potential dangers the characters might face. It is a shame that the film does not spend more time there.
Race's shortcomings do not detract from Stephan James' solid performance. If only he had been given stronger material and a better costar. Jason Sudeikis is not terrible as Larry Snyder, but his lack of subtlety causes him to overact. Hopefully the growing pains of his transition into drama will lessen with each future project. Carice van Houten threatened to outshine them both as Leni Riefenstahl. Where's her film?
As most biopics do, Race ended with photos of the actual Jesse Owens, his wife and friends, with captions telling the audience of what became of them. Usually, I enjoy these epilogues because it makes what the audience just witnessed all the more real. But I was surprised by the number of characters the montage had left out.
Race is an okay movie, but Jesse Owens deserves an amazing one. If someone wants to learn about him, I would recommend a book rather than this film. Nonetheless, if someone runs across it on a streaming service and has a couple hours to kill, I encourage them to give it a shot.
Race was released on February 19, 2016.

THE YOUNG MESSIAH
cyrus nowrasteh
betsy giffen nowrasteh
ann rice
christ the lord: out of egypt
By Robert F. Smith,
March 12, 2016 in In The News
Robert F. Smith
Today I saw a lovely film, "The Young Messiah," about a seven-year-old Jesus during the year when he and his family returned from Egypt to Nazareth, and then went to Jerusalem for Passover. The script is expertly rendered by Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh, based on the novel by Ann Rice, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. Cyrus Nowrasteh directed it, and Joel Ransom did the beautiful camera work. It was shot in Italy with lots of Italians, but with British actors in the lead (Sean Bean as the centurion, for example), and Satan was played brilliantly by Rory Keenan. I frankly loved it, and was even brought to tears at a couple of points. Parents should take their children.
I kept thinking: Why can't Mormon film makers see that this is the correct approach also to any attempt to film Book of Mormon drama. We need to be true to the times and places. We shouldn't compromise.
VideoGameJunkie
My guess is Sean Beans character dies since he dies in every movie and show he's in.
On 3/11/2016 at 10:54 PM, Robert F. Smith said:
If we could all agree on the place that would help.
We also have a much smaller audience which also sadly means a much smaller budget. Make a film about Christ and a huge percentage of the population of the earth will be interested or at least know what it is talking about. Not so much with the Book of Mormon.
11 hours ago, The Nehor said:
Even with a small budget, a lot of good can be done. Why waste money on poor quality at all? The Book of Mormon does have some huge dramatic possibilities, especially with the theft of jewels and gold by Laban and his subsequent murder by Nephi. The visions in I Nephi could be produced with state of the art digital systems, scenes from Lehi and Jeremiah preaching in Jerusalem could be depicted, and the desert trek in Arabia could be very interesting (recall "Lawrence of Arabia"?). The Liahona alone is enough to conjure up the best of sci fi, or of fantasy adventures with Merlin the Magician.

Careful. You could have said: "divinely mandated execution." There is a difference.
On 3/11/2016 at 9:54 PM, Robert F. Smith said:
Why when they've spent so much money building sets for shots, probably many places in Utah. But agree wholeheartedly. They need actors and scenes to be as authentic as possible.

I'll be honest, I'm always somewhat hesitant about speculative portrayals of the Saviour. They're fun to imagine, fun to discuss and talk about, but especially among some of my Evangelical friends, who disparage my own extra-biblical portrayals of Jesus, these works are often treated as Gospel.
I mean...the most complete work regarding the childhood of Jesus written close to that time period is the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, and I'm almost sure that its portrayal of the Saviour would horrify most Christians.
On 3/15/2016 at 0:48 PM, halconero said:
Yet you should see this one and judge for yourself. It is well done, even though it is based on a book written by Ann Rice, the vampire book lady.
I have! I got invited by my friend, an Evangelica-turned-Mormon-turned-Evangelical-again who I've maintained a relationship with. I'm not one to turn down most invites, so I went. I won't argue that it isn't well made, just that I always get cautious with these types of movies, as well as the reaction to them the Sola Scriptura community has.

My wife and I really enjoyed The Young Messiah. I think the actors who played Joseph and Mary did an incredible job. I was especially impressed with the young boy who played Jesus.

Another Look at Kakegurui, the Newest Anime Series to Air on Fuji TV
Aka "Kakegurui", the fictional town of "Kakegurui" in the manga/anime series, "The Naruto Shippudden" is located on the island of Sumatra in the Andaman Sea. In the anime, it is located in the village of Koma. The town is a small fishing village which produces a significant amount of seafood. It appears to have been founded around 200 years ago during the time of the Meiji Period, and became a major center of commerce and production for fish and seafood. Eventually becoming renowned as a mainstay city in the region, it was often an important stop for traders and other individuals traveling through the area.
The fictional town of Kakegurui in the Naruto Shippudden anime is located on the island of Sumatra in the Andaman Sea. It was originally established as a small fishing village which began producing high-quality seafood. One of the side stories featured in the Naruto Shippudden anime series features Kakegurui as a major hub of trade and shipping between the United States and Japan during the early years of World War II. This became the center of a number of smuggling runs and other activities for those involved in sea shipping, particularly for wealthy individuals who enjoyed traveling to the island and patronizing its delicious seafood. Eventually, however, it became a favorite location for high school students who wanted to learn more about ninjutsu.
In an interesting turn of events, the Kakegurui Arc of the Naruto Shippudden anime has featured a group of high school students who travel to the island to study under the tutelage of the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara. Among this group are two boys named Jyuichiro Uchiha and Kuchiki Byakuya. They are also joined by a third Kakegurui girl named Mumeno Koichi, whom they learn from during their trip.
There are a lot of similarities between this version of the Kakegurui arc and the original one. Most notably, both anime series features a rich cast of characters, including a number of shinigamis (warrior monks) and jinchurikis (robots). The animation also faithfully recreates the weather changes at the island. It is interesting to note that the first episode of the second season features a brief explanation of the four elements (earth, wind, water, and light), as well as the concept of the four "worlds." The premise behind the four elements is that they are responsible for the different phenomena that can be found on Kakegurui. For example, the earth is what makes the sands spread and the wind is what makes the waves move.
The second season of Kakegurui has been drawing a great deal of criticism from many fans of the original work. While the second season has featured a few improvements, the primary complaint seems to be centered around the ending of the original manga, which many people feel strays far from the original story line. In addition, many fans feel that the anime goes overboard with the fan service, including some scenes that are completely unnecessary. Some have even criticized the amount of fanservice in the anime, especially the scene where Mumeno invites Kakegurui to go swimming.
Despite these complaints, it seems that the anime television series, Kakegurui compulsive gambler, will most likely become one of the most popular anime of all time. One of the main reasons for this is the consistent quality of the animation. Most viewers have praised the artistic style and realistic designs of the show, which have led to a large number of artists drawing kakegurui illustrations.

I have worked busted neck that required surgery,cracked bones that I ducted taped to keep going , gout so bad I've cut my boots to get them on , so sick that most people would be in the hospital. Rolling out of bed most days to keep a paycheck coming in. I never missed a day at work not even after my neck surgery.But in June of 2015 after recovering from a busted leg seems like everything hit me at once. My neck pain tripled like all my nerve ending we're on fire. Diabetes set in . High blood pressure. Started getting gout in my knees, wrist, elbows, shoulders, hands, swelling to where it looked like it was going to burst. I have trouble walking I fall a lot. Now my sight comes and goes it might last a few day or a few months. Just got it back in my left side and all sudden my right side went paralyzed with so much pain everywhere thought it was a stroke. ER for that was over 7000.00 it was named bell Poulsie . I have lost my medial assistants at the umc . Many more issues going on. I've lost and sold everything I ever had in my life. Took all my retirement out trying to hold onto and pay my family bills. I haven't worked would love to and why would I want disability if I didn't need it. I made more in two days than I would on my disability in a month....Mrs Porciello everyone is not out for a handout. But I really needed it to keep going to the Dr and all my medications . I know u have a job to do and your very good at your job. I asked for a favorable decision but I guess my case wasn't strong enough. But I will never give up fighting for my rights. God Bless you and your family.
Retired about six months ago.
Why is she a judge? She doesn't listen or consider all the facts. A judge who only approves 19% of their cases is hurting a lot of people. She doesn't have any compassion or good sense. She needs to step down and find another profession. She is there to hurt and hinder people and that is not good.
This Judge and about half the others on the Hattiesburg list are years long gone from Hattiesburg. Recommend updating your list.
1000 pages from doctors and ER visits, documented heavily. clearly shows progression of heart and mental issues. judge dinged me for shaving and dressing appropriately...I did not take my mental meds to be clear headed as I could be for the hearing at the direction of my attorney, that counted against me. My suicidal and severe depression and severe anxiety due to health issues and declining health were ruled mild, even though the psychiatrist rated me severe. He does not see look at your illness and see progression. He called my hematologist a liar because her paperwork said i was disabled. the cardiologist i had last year that was a horrible cardiologist that missed all my heart warning signs, he used his documents over the docs that implanted a pacemaker and that are currently treating me. this judge and several others in the hattiesburg office have the lowest approval; rating IN THE COUNTRY. more claimants need to stand up and try to get these hanging biased judges out of their offices. if you get michael harbart you might as well kill yourself, it will be more humane and quicker than waiting for the slow death they sentence you to.
Valorie Stefanelli is a very nice and straight forward judge.You. better be very clear and prepared when you go in front of her.She asked a lot of questions and you better be honest and truefull cause she will tell if your lying.I don't know the decision of my hearing yet but either way I can't complain,I had a great lawyer and plenty of evidence to prove my disability.But the final decision is is still pending.
Expect a Denial!! It's all about how she feel!!
I found judge Lanier Williams to be a fair judge. He is well prepared he knows the law and had knowledge of my case. And after my attorney explained my medical records back and forth with him for about an hour he approved my case from the bench and I was out of there.
I feel that he was unfair to me. With all my severe illness he still denied me. But it's a God in heaven he does not sleep. May God bless you judge Gregory White.
Is a terrible person,hates disabled American veterans!!!
I just want to say thank you. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be where I'm at now. You seen something in me that made you help me when you didn't have to. I took your advice and got everything straight that I had to. Again Thank you so much. Eric from Gulfport.
He generally gets it right and will award some difficult decisions. However, he does err in his decisions at times and is unwilling to change his erroneous position at those times.
She does play games with the reps and routinely denies strong cases that should be approved. Its more than frustrating to receive a decision it took four months to get back on an extremely strong case for an aged person which should have been easily approved. She knows these bad decisions will be challenged and I suppose it took that long to write a decision adequately in an attempt to survive appeal. Sometimes I feel sorry for the decision writers. Honestly, I don't see how she sleeps at night.
I feel this judge was unfair with my case. I have been dealing with constant chronic pain for 4 years due to an on the job injury. Can't take meds due to severe side affects. Also hbp, diabetes with neuropathy and bilateral carpal tunnel. Problems standing and sitting for long periods. Just this will let you know that I can't obtain gainful employment. Also have a weight limit. Her decision was really wrong. It's almost as if my decision was decided before the hearing.
This judge has to be the slowest judge NM has! Why does it take her soooooo long? I have been waiting since May to hear any decision on my case!
I think this judge is unfair in his decision making and he is going to reap what he sow for denying sick peoples such as myself.... i live in chronic pain the majority of my days but he denied me. All ill say is Lord have a mercy on his retched soul because Gods going to fix all of these big time ALJ denying sickly peoples and giving drug heads a check the system is all wrong!!! All ill say is this Gods gone show him whose the real judge when he die and wake up in Hell for denying slickly people!!!!!
Me and my daughter will continue to pray for you and your trespasses. I watched my daughter struggle from the time she was born with C.P. and now with PTSD because of 5 yrs of sexual abuse that she had before I got custody of her. Her Mother lost her Disability in 2000 of no fault of my daughters at age 7. I carried her til 2011 when I filed for her. We never claimed benefits for my daughter, the social worker did, shortly after she was born. even with a ackilles injury that never healed back in 2010 on top of her C.P. and now with her PTSD that was reported to the appeals council and still denied. Shes now 23 unable to work, been a shut-in the last 9 mos.of other female issues on top of all this. I retired in 2011 early to help her finish school and since lost our house last year and filing bankrupcy . Mr. Ill say this, The Real Judge Is A-coming and your not it. Get out while you can and repent. Did live in Newbern NC.
I think the judge is unfair and prejudiced.
He didn't consider any written documentation from my doctor of over 8 years nor the Psychiatrist statements. He yelled and screamed over the mic as if I was being tried for murder. He makes you feel guilty for having a disability. He should be removed permanently with his horrible bench manners.
HE IS DENYING ALMOST ALL CASES HE HAS NOW AND HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL AND CONDESCENDING TOWARD CLAIMANTS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. I THINK HE IS GOING MENTAL AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM CONTACT WITH THE PUBLIC.
I found this judge to be a very prepared and smart judge. As previously stated be prepared to argue your point and know social security rules and guidelines because he is up on it. I founded him to be a very fair judge!! This was my first time having this judge and after arguing my points, he approved the case. We need more judges like him.
My hearing was under Judge Porciello & I was very happy with her. She was professional, patient, reviewed my file thoroughly & rendered a very fair fully favorable decision on my case. She is a tough judge to get a favorable decision from, but I had 7 years of continuous medical documentation, a very strong case, complete & current medical documentation from my doctor up until a week before my hearing. So, if you have a strong case with all of your medical history, then you have a very good chance for a fully favorable decision.
Don't expect this judge to believe a bunch of wind and BS. Better have the facts. Intense scrutiny and professional standards are the norm in this judge's chambers. I wish that all who qualify will receive, but make sure you have your witnesses and your facts straight if you want to be recognized as disabled. I respect this judge, and I also acknowledge that her job is not easy.
Any One Ever Had a Case with this Judge? Just wanting to know some information on her and how it is during the hearings?
This ALJ will often play games with representatives. For instance, she will solicit favorable VE testimony that would mean a win at step 5, but then deny the case at step 2. All the while with a very fake smile on her face. Doesn't matter how strong the case is either -- I suspect this is because she rarely gets a serious challenge to her rulings. If you get this ALJ, try to get your hearing rescheduled so you can get a new one. Or move to another state. If you get Porciello, you'll likely lose. You're only other option is to find a way to get her to recuse herself. Good luck with that!
Williams is not a fair Judge at all. He was going to hear my case on Sept 29, 2010 and just one day before the hearing I was arrested for things I did not say . After I got out of jail Judge Williams denied my case. I had to file another Claim and the new one was approved but this one with Williams had to go to FED Court and back to the ODAR office. I don't know why he is even a Judge... Very Bad !!!!
This judge is biased against applicants. My wife has nerve damage from chemo as well as degenerative disc disease, she is in bed constantly since she can't sit or stand for long comfortably, she is on pain killers and patches but they don't help much. Despite doctor testimonials and medical evidence he ruled against my wife. He didn't want to believe any of the evidence even though his own witness said she couldn't work at any job 8 hours a day. If you get Gilmer your claim will be denied. Like a previous commenter wrote he should go back to Chicago where he belongs. It is obvious that he has an agenda and hates being in Mississippi, as well as the people that depend on him to fairly judge their disability claim. Despicable person.
I have had a couple of hearings with this ALJ. She is very conservative, but will award very strong cases. Let's rep do opening and initial questioning. If a doctor says the claimant is limited in a serious way, you better have good clinical and diagnositic support for that opinion.
I have had a number of hearings with Judge Williams. They always start with him going down the list of things he has concerns about. He tells you right up front what he considers to be the weaknesses in your case and enjoys having you argue your case and convince him you have the evidence to support your position. He is not inflexible and will come around on a solid argument. You should prepare your client for this little debate and tell them to listen because what he outlines is the stuff you're going to have to address. He demeanor can come across as condescendingly skeptical at times and he does like to challenge claimants on inconsistencies in testimony and statments made to doctors, for example. Credibility is front and center with this judge.
Lowest approval rate among all the ALJS. Nuff said about him.
I have add the judge and abe is completly unfair. Have medical that states herniated disc and other diagnose and she still denied. The so call vocational expert that social security use reads out a book and tell you about different jobs you can do. but cant tell you where to apply for these jobs. How can these people you how much pain your in. Its your money that is paid in.
Aweful and unethical. Judge slipped in evidence on a paper file case on the day of the hearing, well after I had copied the file, used the evidence and failed to provide copies at the hearing.
This judge is 100 percent unfair. I have severe depression and chronic lower back problem that has medical documentation for 8 years. I went bankrupt bacause of my disabilities. This judge lies about medical evidence and turns the meaning of medical evidence upsidedown. I wish could see her face to face and tell to f off. She is a bi-ch. She said my Mri's showed improvment in my back condition which was lie. Thats OK because I will never pay another dime into the system. I just got a high rating from the VA so one way or another I will get my money. As soon I turn 65 I will get my money that I paid in. My wife is on social security disability and she see doctors on almost a daily basis and get tons of medicines, so then again one way or another social secuity will pay. Why are they so dumb by turning down the disabled claims?
This judge denies valid claims, even when two or more treating physicians state that the claimant can't work. Her denial rate supports this assertion.
Generally a fair Judge, but unfortunately he is increasingly beginning to browbeat and belittle the Claimants who appear before him, sometimes to an extent which goes beyond what a Judge should do. It doesn't cost anything to be polite and courteous to Claimants as well as their representatives.
As a Representative, I really think Judge Williams is the fairest Judge we have. You better have your case together and know what you are fighting for. Be prepared to do alot of arguing but trust me he will come around after about an hour... I really like this Judge and he approves most all of my cases. Make sure you know what you are talking about before you walk in the Hearing office.
A fair ALJ, but know your case and be prepared to argue with him to support it.
Nice enough in the hearing room, until you get his decision, then you realize he is just putting on a front. I wish he would go back to Chicago where he came from.

When it comes to learning how to buy a gas barbeque grill there are several good tips to be found online.
We found some excellent advice on buying a gas bbq grill from one grill vendor.
Your first consideration that you should think about is knowing how many you'll be cooking for. While bigger can be better, you also have to consider cost, the amount of fuel you'll need to have on hand, and the space you have to hold and house your gas bbq grill.
Another aspect is knowing how proficient you are in keeping that grill in top notch condition and how much time you want to spend on this. While it's great to have the best and most feature-prevalent grill, the fancier it is the more parts to service, clean and break.
Paying a little bit more for a quality barbecue may be a sound decision if being built to last several years is an important consideration as you think about which one to choose.
Make sure that the gas bbq grill you buy has devices for flame taming that cover the entire burner on your gas grill. This is important because grease is the most damaging ingredient for your grill. You also want the flame tamer to be directly over the gas grill's burner.
The final thing to think about is determining which brand is for you, especially if you are going to buy something simple with hopes of adding on accessories. Some gas grill brands have few accessories, some have many. Some top brands to consider are Weber, Brinkman, and Coleman.

G8 Bible Prophecy
Bible prophecy predicts globalization
The process of globalisation formally began in 1975 when, from 15th to 17th November, the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America met in the first annual economic summit of the world's greatest nations.
This first meeting, the Sommet d'Rambouillet, was arranged by the French President, Val�ry Giscard d'Estaing, and held in the Ch�teau de Rambouillet near Paris, France. "On the agenda were international monetary disorder and the oil crisis."[1]
The G7 group of elite nations was officially founded in 1976, when Canada joined the globalisation club at its second meeting, held in Puerto Rico on 27 and 28 June 1976. Since then, G7 has met each year to discuss the progress of globalisation and decide the next stages of the New World Order. "Each summit is unique and takes the G7 one step further in its evolution. The 1995 summit in Halifax, Canada, led to significant changes in the way in which the World Bank, the IMF and other international organisations operated."
The G7 economic alliance was extended to eight member states when Russia joined in 1998, although the Russians will not host the summit until 2006. According to the official website, the G7 agenda "has now turned to a more structural and global perspective and has added a wide range of political and social issues to its workload".[2]
Students of ancient prophecy should be aware of certain parallels between the establishment of G7 and the signs and events expected to precede the Apocalypse according to Christian scripture. The parable or riddle of the "seven kings" in The Revelation to St John "calls for a mind that has wisdom"[3], and can be interpreted as seven great nations leading the world for a period prior to Judgement day.
The End-Times prophecy in the Bible specifically predicts the reign of the being who the Christians call God being established by twenty-four leaders of the people of Earth. The first globalisation summit was attended by exactly twenty-four delegates - four from each of the six most affluent nations. The numbers may be highly significant, because the relevant text comprises verses 15 to 17 of the eleventh chapter in the Book of Revelation, and either by coincidence or by design G7 was founded between the 15th and the 17th days of the eleventh month.
"Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were
loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world
has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
and he will reign forever and ever.' Then the twenty-four
elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their
faces and worshiped God, singing, 'We give you thanks,
Lord God Almighty, who are and who were, for you
have taken your great power and begun to reign.'"[4]
The G7 elite met in Paris last weekend to address the worsening crisis of global recession.[5] Senior financial ministers and politicians from the world's seven most powerful economies warned the US President that his tax cuts of $695 billion, which are designed to benefit the richest 1% of Americans, will "destabilise a world economy already undermined by threat of war in Iraq".[6]
This prophetic parallel was first recognised by Mr T. V. Acheson in 1999, and this article is the first time that it has ever been documented in the public domain. In the words of Mr Acheson (1999), "You may not believe in gods or prophecy, but among the leaders of nations there are those who do."

First of all, it's his mix of cultures, white, black, Hispanic and Native American. Centuries linked to Colonial America. Matthew––his real name––is Scottish and Portuguese through his mother, and Chumash, African-American and Mexican through his father.
It's also a voice, expressive, like his black grandmother's, a singer in a hip Oxnard club in the 1940s. Music freed her, no longer having to work the land like she did, having been raised in a family of sharecroppers. Oxnard was already L.A.'s countryside at the time, a refuge for the privileged basking on the beaches of fine sand. Only steps away was the cropland that is still being cultivated today, the cradle of Cola Boyy's Chumash ancestors. Chumash, like his hundred-year-old great-grandmother who became fond of the beautiful singer and matched her with her son for marriage. They lived happily, unaware that their descendant would take over the musical reins.
Just like fellow native Oxnard musicians Madlib and Anderson .Paak, Cola Boyy comes from a mixed black and white musical background: an obvious descendant of the Ghetto Brothers, a New York-based militant black and Hispanic band that blended together rock, soul and Latino music, all while trying to bring peace to the city's gang war. He's also greatly inspired by the funk and disco energy of Studio 54 and the Paradise Garage club, as well as the poetry and harmonies of his ultimate idol, Paul McCartney.
