Clinton Seventh-day Adventist Church
A Brief History of Clinton, Arkansas
The Work Begins
Some of the first Adventists we know of in the area were Mrs. Eva Robison, living with her daughter in a house on Highway 110, and Alfred and Zona Perry of Clinton, Arkansas, who studied the 20th Century Bible Course and were baptized on August 14, 1954, by Elder W. H. Westermeyer (Record, 1958). In early 1961 Thelma Shands and the Singleterrys moved to the area and together started a branch Sabbath school in Thelma's home south of Clinton in June 1961. Then Colonel Walter E. Deaux and his family moved to the Rushing area and started the Rocky Brook branch Sabbath school, which the Singleterrys began attending when Thelma Shands moved away (McLafferty, 1972).
The Group Grows
In June 1962, the Otis Bennett family moved from California to Dennard, Arkansas, with the purpose of working for God. On November 4, 1962, they arranged for a Sabbath school to meet in the Dennard Community Church with their two Adventist neighbors, June and Linda Willoughby, — their total attendance for the next four months. What a happy surprise it was on a Sabbath in March 1963, when the Galen Watts family of four walked in announcing that they had come to keep the Sabbath! The group had doubled (Schneider, 1967). Their interest started by reading the book, What Jesus Said by H. M. S. Richards. The Watts loaned their book to Sam Davis who, after reading it, joined the group. The Shandleys, Bolenders, Mr. Graham and Gladys German came about that time. Then a little later the McClendon family started attending. By the spring of 1964, there were about fifty people attending this Sabbath school (McLafferty, 1972).
Clinton Company Organized in 1964

In 1964, an evangelistic series was conducted in Clinton by Elder Ernest A. Lemon, assisted by Pastor Carlton Dyer and Fletcher Elliott (Schneider, 1967). During the same year, Elder and Mrs. G. M. McLafferty retired near Clinton. As a result of the initial interest at Dennard combined with the Clinton meetings, a company was organized with twenty members on December 12, 1964.
Clinton Church Organized in 1967
During much of its existence, the company continued meeting in the Dennard Community Church. Later they moved to a log building known as the "Hut." In November of 1965, they moved back to the Dennard Community Church for warmer quarters (McLafferty, 1972).
A New Building in 1967
Cinva-Ram block press
The company began planning a new church, and April 15, 1967, was the first Sabbath the services were held in the first section of the new building, the school section, which was under construction (Schneider, 1967). This first stage of the building was made with home-made building blocks with the use of a Cinva-Ram Block Press from Bogota, Columbia, South America.

The Clinton church was organized as the fifty-first church in our conference (Minutes, 1967) on December 18, 1967, with seventeen members. Elder Ben E. Leach, president of the Southwestern Union Conference, gave the address. Elder Paul I. Nosworthy, the conference treasurer, led out in the act of dedication and Elder E. F. Sherrill, the conference president, offered the dedicatory prayer. The first services held in the new sanctuary part of the project were in May 1969 (McLafferty, 1972).

A New Church in 2016
On Sabbath, October 22, 2016, members and visitors of the Clinton church walked from their old church building, which seated around sixty people, to their new sanctuary, which seats 150. There the congregation held its first worship service in their new sanctuary, which was joined to an existing building on the property (Whitley, 2017).

If you haven't heard, there is a new movement for everything SLOW. It all began with an event that kicked off Slow Food. Slow Food is an organization that started in Italy that was spearheaded by a protest by Carlo Petrini against McDonald's when they opened in Piazza di Spagna, Rome way back in 1986. This public awareness of keeping a high quality of life, which in Italy, of course, has to include food, wine and human relationships, had it's beginning.
It was Carl Honore, in his book, In Praise of Slowness, that the phrase "Slow Movement" was coined. It has inspired people to spread ideas about the value of slowness and it is sprouting up in several venues. A subculture is born.
Perhaps you have heard of "slow cities" that give people a chance to get away from, not only fast pace living, but technology such as cell phones and wifi, which inspires speeding up and keeping up with the latest greatest everything. There are different categories for these slow cities and could be well worth some investigating for the next time you can schedule a tech-free getaway.
There is a lot to be said for slowing down, resting, pausing, taking time away from the habitual. Therefore, the invention of the "vacation." It was working in Europe that opened my eyes to the fact that a large portion of the western world takes a month off from work to travel and enjoy something away from their ordinary schedules. It is an integral part of each year's plan.
Having come from a workaholic family, I am a bit of a late bloomer to the activity of vacationing. I have started exploring the land of Maya in the Yucatan, Old Mexico. What I have found fascinating is when visiting there, the air is thick with cultural ways that are tangibly pulling you into it's ancient relationship with time. As a result, you automatically enter slowdown mode, perfect for the Slow Movement.
It turns out that moving slowly is also a strategy for being able to become more aware and to notice HOW you are doing WHAT you are doing. There is a human phenomenon credited to how our brains work that allows us to interrupt a habitual movement or response. Moshe Feldenkrais and Stanley Keleman, both giants in the world of Somatics, have a lot to say about this.
Similar to the slow motion video at the top of this page making it possible to see things we would never see at normal speed, the process of moving slowly makes it possible to sense things that are going on inside of us that would otherwise go unnoticed. This is at the root of how and why the Feldenkrais Method is so effective. The genius of this method is in its ability to make specific use of the human brain that is designed to evolve and grow awareness with mindfulness.
To pull all of this together, for those willing to take the leap into SLOWNESS, I've designed a 4-day winter retreat in the land of the Maya, Yucatan, Old Mexico. Guided in Awareness Through Movement® lessons, you will be moving slowly, accessing the magic of your uniquely human brain, growing your awareness, evolving towards a greater ability to know and choose what you want. Plan to come the weekend before and stay for the weekend after to visit nearby Mayan ruins, swim in our cenote and check out our Agave plantation. This rich experience will be an investment in your appreciation of the Slow Movement and how you can start bringing it into your daily life. Take a Slow Break, it's about time! To make it happen, see more information and registration about The Journey Inward in Yucatan. Also offered in Santa Fe, NM and Boulder, CO.
Slowing down is itself an interruption of habit these days. And yet, I found myself speed reading your post. I would love to see a video of movement slowed down instead of bullets. After all, only Superman can slow a bullet (or Keanu Reeves), and the destruction of watermelon made me sad….

Andrew Jackson Smith was a Union Army soldier who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Civil War at the Battle of Honey Hill in South Carolina.
Smith was the son of a slave woman and slave owner, Elijah Smith. When the Civil War started, Smith's owner planned to take him along with him to the Confederate military. When Young Andrew heard of the plans, he and another slave ran away from the plantation. They walked 25 miles to join the Union Army.
Smith was later taken in to work as a servant for Major John Warner. If Warner died during the war, Smith's job was to make sure his belongings were returned to his hometown.
Smith was wounded a month later in the Battle of Shiloh. A bullet entered through his left temple and stopped in the middle of his forehead. The army surgeon removed the bullet only leaving a Smith with a scar. He later served as a corporal in the 55th Volunteer Infantry in Massachusetts.
On November 30, 1864, while serving at the Battle of Honey Hill in South Carolina, the units came under fire while crossing a swamp and the color bearer was killed. Smith picked up the flag and carried it the rest of the fight. Although being nominated for the Medal of Honor for his actions in 1916, Smith was not awarded the honor until President Bill Clinton awarded 2001 to several of his descendants. The Army denied the nomination before that for lack of official records for the case.


Knowing the under-5 mortality rate is of limited value if you do not know why the children are dying, because the common causes of death during childhood vary greatly from one country to another.
The common causes of death need to be known before interventions can be planned to lower the mortality rate. It is very important that we learn why children die. This is done at a mortality review.
It is essential to identify the common causes of under-5 mortality in each country, as they are important in planning health care interventions.

The Passion façade: key moments in its history
Last summer, we officially completed the Passion façade, putting the final piece in place on the sculpture group of the Cross of Glory. And with this historical milestone, we've decided to look back on the key moments of a façade that covers the period from death to resurrection, and that Gaudí designed just after an illness that put him at the door of that fateful moment. We know he did several drawings, as photos of his workshop show more than one. Of these, only two have survived, dated 1892 and 1911: the first he used to study the loads and design the inclination of the columns and the full iconography; in the second, he looked in more detail at the overall appearance of the façade. After 1917, he completed this second plan with a drawing to one side of a monument dedicated to Bishop Torras i Bages, his personal friend.
1954: CONSTRUCTION BEGINS
Gaudí wanted construction of the Temple to begin with the Nativity façade, the façade expressing the joy of the Birth, in order to attract attention and donations for the works. So, it wasn't until 1954 when, under Head Architect Francesc Quintana (1939-1966), the foundations were dug for the Passion façade and filled with concrete reinforced with old rails donated by Renfe, the Spanish railway company.
After the post-war economy had rebounded, work began to raise the four towers, led by Isidre Puig Boada, who was head architect through 1974. From 1971, he shared this position with Lluís Bonet Garí. Both had known Gaudí personally and learned from him directly.
1986: ARRIVAL OF SUBIRACHS
Although the architectural work on the Passion façade was completed just two decades after beginning construction, the sculptural and symbolic aspects were yet to be finished. And in this regard, there is one key name: sculptor Josep Maria Subirachs, who was proposed in 1986 by then head architect Jordi Bonet i Armengol. Subirachs, already a renowned sculptor, estructured the scenes chronologically, organising them according to the via crucis.
Subirachs went to live at the Temple, as he wanted to be fully submerged in the works in order to completely soak up the inspirational spirit, just as Gaudí had done. After a year and a half, in 1987 his first sculpture was put in place on the façade: the Flagellation. From this point, more of his sculptures were put in place year after year.
However, his modern, ground-breaking style wasn't welcomed warmly by part of local society and was harshly criticised by those who had not understood Gaudí when he said he wanted this façade to express the total opposite of the Nativity façade, and to be scary. "It is all sharp, extremely simple geometrical shapes, bare of any ornamentation, only stillness and structure. We feel the desolation, the suspension of life and the disruption of nature that accompanied the divine tragedy," he said. Subirachs' own natural style perfectly reflected all of this.
In addition to the sculptural part, Subirachs was also commissioned to create the bronze doors, which were integrated into the chronological discourse of the via crucis. The central doors, of the Gospels, were the last to be put in place, in 2000, and helped consolidate favourable views of his great work. The final sculpture by Subirachs to be put in place, in 2005, was the great resurrected Christ, also done in bronze but covered in gold leaf, hanging from the bridge between the two central bell towers.
2018: FINAL SCULPTURES PUT IN PLACE
In 2001, construction on the façade moved forward, enclosing the central bell towers, building the window of the resurrection and putting in the great elliptical rose window. Between 2014 and 2016, the eighteen columns on the upper narthex were completed.
However, the sculpture groups that crown the pediment had yet to go in: the lion of Judah and the lamb of Abraham, on either side, and in the centre, the Cross of Glory with its angels, all by sculptor Lau Feliu. Plus, the Empty Tomb scene still had to go in inside the upper narthex, with the three Marys and the angel. This group was created by architect and sculptor Francesc Fajula, who was also responsible for the Christ that hangs over the main altar at the Temple.
All of these pieces have gone in over the past year, coinciding with the first year of this blog, and we have been able to share detailed updates here. With these finishing touches, although there will of course be restorations needed as with any heritage work of this type, after 64 years we can now say that the Passion façade is totally finished.

Plague on Both Houses
Bradford Hanson 2015-06-07
Bradford Hanson · 7 June, 2015
This 1976 book review was the first Bob Whitaker (pictured) sighting in the racialist press known to your editor. Bob has become somewhat more radical since then.
THE UNITED STATES is such a remarkable institution that it can undergo a complete change of oligarchy without a change in government. The southern planters, who had done the most to lead the new nation through the revolution and its early years, lost their ascendancy by the 1850s and the Internecine War destroyed them as a group. Industrialists became the new ruling class, but they in turn began to decline around World War I and were overthrown in Roosevelt's bloodless coup of 1933. Under the name of conservatives some of them now form part of the weak and token opposition to the present or third American establishment.
In his new book A Plague on Both Your Houses (Robert B. Luce, Washington, DC, $9.95), Robert W. Whitaker, a young historian, takes pains to describe the new ruling class because it is more diverse and much more broadly based than the two elites which preceded it. He calls it the education-welfare establishment, though it also contains elements of the super-rich, most of the mediacrats and practically all the minority leaders. To a large extent it lives off the tax money and the inflation generated by its endless human betterment programs, which almost always promise one thing and deliver the opposite. This mile-wide discrepancy between goal and fulfillment, instead of justifying their termination, furnishes excuses for the consistent expansion of such programs to the point where they are now getting completely out of hand. If the trend continues, the education-welfare establishment is bound to push the country beyond the breaking point, beyond the point where lower-middleclass whites will no longer have anything to lose. At that time, Whitaker contends, the white working man and the remains of the old conservatives will arise and vote the parasitic liberal politicos, bureaucrats, unioneers and academic types out of office. He does not rule out the possibility of a violent reaction, but hopes the present establishment will give up its power as gracefully as did the industrialists. Whatever the outcome, Whitaker writes "We are now for the third time in our history as an independent nation in the stage of popular rebellion against an elite group."
Whitaker describes the here-again, gone-again Wallace movement as the first manifestation of a born-again American populism. Two young minority members recently wrote a book called The New Populism, which also predicted a rebirth of populism. But their populism was to be a coalition of blacks, chicanos and poor whites. This is by no means the middleclass populism that Whitaker has in mind.
Populism, which provided such an interesting and stormy interlude in American history, was primarily based on rural opposition to the late 19th century New York banking circles and their political and academic minions. One might ask Whitaker, if the basic populist voting base of the smalltime farmer and other dwellers in the boondocks has eroded, how can populism be resurrected? Also it should be remembered that populism foundered in the South, where it should have been most successful because it threatened to divide the white (anti-Negro) vote. Whitaker implies but does not say that the populism he both predicts and urges has a racial tinge. If this is so, we should give it a more accurate name.
There are a few social and economic groups Whitaker neglects in his stimulating analysis. One is the vast new bureaucracy of hired managers, the non-entrepreneurial executives of the multinational corporations. Usually they are more liberal and radical than civil servants, if not so far to the left as academics. On the other hand, small business, the only area where anything resembling free enterprise still functions, is forgotten.
The outlook of Whitaker's book is Marxist in the sense that class struggle is its central theme. This is an excellent strategy in that it turns the liberal establishment's own arguments against itself. The all-important global situation looms up for no more than a few seconds as the result of a passing reference to The Camp of the Saints. Presumably interested in straight thinking, Whitaker occasionally drops off the deep end, especially when he praises a scientific charlatan (and convicted forger) like Erik van Daniken.
In one sense Whitaker's Plague fills in some empty spaces of The Dispossessed Majority, which concentrates on race and culture and devotes much less space to economic and class issues. Perhaps a third book is needed to examine the interaction of race and economics. Richard Swartzbaugh's The Mediator covers the ground very well in an abstract and theoretical manner, but it seems to be beyond the ken of college graduates (let alone the hardhat crowd). We also need a study that probes the warped souls of the Majority renegades whose cooperation has brought the education-welfare establishment into being.
Unfortunately for Whitaker, blue-collar people do not read books, not even ones as lucid as this. The boob-tube is their favorite diversion and we know all too well who is projecting the images there. Conservatives drugged on Birch society fantasies will not be able to benefit from A Plague on Both Your Houses (or from anything else), nor will dyed-in-the-wool libertarians. Nevertheless, Whitaker offers a great deal for serious-minded Majority members to ponder, when he shows that the short-term interests of the incommunicative white working masses represent the only real political power that could be adapted to the Majority cause. Conservatives, he indicates, have always done their very best to keep this power firmly in the leftist camp.
Whitaker declares — and who can dispute him? — that the education-welfare establishment is leading to total ruin, as it expands its voting base to include hordes of immigrants fleeing from the teeming, steaming slums of Latin America and East Asia.
As an optimistic aside to A Plague on Both Your Houses, we note that the publisher, Robert B. Luce, was once the publisher of the liberal-minority propaganda sheet New Republic, and that the book has a foreword by William Rusher, the crown prince of the Buckley empire, who recently distinguished himself by opposing William Shockley in an aborted debate at Yale. If the arch-leftist Luce can publish a book and the arch-equalitarian Rusher can praise a book that is so hostile to their previously touted ideologies, then Majority members have cause for at least a thin smile, if not a stentorian guffaw.

The National Credit Act introduced firms called Payment Distribution Agencies (PDA). These firms help simplify consumer's debt review payments and assist them to make the right payment on the right day to the right accounts. It is often a challenge for consumers to make the correct payment to the right accounts before they enter debt review. Once the process begins the payment arrangements get even more complicated as the amounts paid shift and change over time (due to what is called cascading payments). Many consumers will find managing this to be (1) undesirable hard work and (2) complicated.
PDAs also assist when disputes over payments arise (they often do) as they track all payments and roughly calculate what the balances should be according to the court order. This is something that many consumers find themselves unable to do.
If you are able to handle these however you are able to save a few rand each month on fees to the PDA (you still have to pay normal bank fees to do all the payments, however). What should you keep in mind if you are making payments directly to credit providers?
What does your Court Order say about how you will pay? Does it mention that you will use a PDA or not? It is important that you do not break your court order.
You have to keep proof of payments of each payment you make to your credit providers and supply your debt counsellor with a copy of each (every time). This will help when you later have to fight with credit providers about the balances and fees they have on your accounts.
Just because you are not paying via a PDA does not mean you do not have to pay your Debt Counsellor's monthly aftercare fees. These are also in the court order and will ensure you keep getting help from the Debt Counsellor throughout the process. Do not stop making these small payments. They are normally only a few rand anyway and are well worth it.
If you are in the process and suddenly decide not to make use of your PDA you should speak to your Debt Counsellor about this first. You may feel this will save you some money but you will soon find this is not really the case. You should also be very wary of deciding that just because the debt review is now running you can start to ignore just some of the court order (eg. using the PDA and paying the Debt Counsellor). If you stop paying your Debt Counsellor you should expect that things will eventually fall apart as they will not be helping you (since you are not paying them).
When the time comes for a consumer to get a clearance certificate (when their debts are paid off) they will have to go to their Debt Counsellor and ask for help. The Debt Counsellor will check if all aftercare payments have been made and may (1) ask for any missing payments or (2) may decide to charge a portion of the missing payments to assist the consumer further. Professionals work for fees. This is pretty normal and consumers should not be surprised if this happens.
Can Your Debt Counsellor Take Funds Directly From you?
Something to keep in mind for Debt Counsellors who advise their clients that they can handle the responsibility of doing payments themselves (and not via PDA). These Debt Counsellors should check their terms and conditions of registration to see if they can accept monthly payments of aftercare fees directly from consumers or if they are obliged to make use of a PDA to collect such fees. It is important to stick to the T&Cs of the trade. Note: Some DCs registration conditions differ.


MUNICH — The naming of a German as the infallible father of the Catholic Church was seen nearly four years ago as a remarkable moment in papal history. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger offered a poignant coda to 20th Century memory. A son of Bavaria who grew up under Nazism and recognized the pain of the Holocaust was suddenly transformed into Pope Benedict XVI, the world's most revered Christian.
Now doubts, fueled by a controversy that conjured up the past in his native Germany, are rattling Benedict's reign.
Benedict lifted the excommunications in January of four breakaway bishops who boldly challenged fundamental Church reforms of the 1960s. The 81-year-old pope found out too late that he was redeeming, among others, an unrepentant Holocaust denier.
Last week, he made deep amends to Jewish groups in face-to-face meetings with rabbis and community leaders, the most visible sign that the Vatican realized an error had become a public-relations folly.
Lorenz Wolf, legal counsel for the powerful Munich archdiocese, last week openly sighed when asked to explain the notorious rehabilitation of Bishop Richard Williamson. Wolf had no sure answers for how the pontiff — who also offended Muslims in a 2006 speech with a medieval reference to Islam — was advised before he eased the excommunication.
"There's an assumption that the Holy Father saw this all from the point of doctrine — the issue of excommunication — and didn't see it in any other way," Wolf said. "It is clear he did not know about Williamson" when he signed the order.
Would Wolf, who advises the Catholic Church in Germany on legal administrative church matters, or other advisers have been able to raise alarms about Williamson?
"When I heard about the excommunication order from the media — and that is how we all found out about it, from the media — I felt, immediately, this would be a hot issue," Wolf said carefully.
As clips from Swedish TV — easily found on YouTube — showed Richard Williamson of the ultraconservative Society of the St. Pius X saying, in clear English, that he didn't believe Jews were gassed to death in Nazi-run camps, the Vatican stumbled for days.
Williamson's interview ran on Jan. 21, the same day that Benedict lifted the excommunication order, media reports show. The Vatican made the decision public three days later, apparently unaware of Williamson's open denial of the Holocaust.
By then, recriminations had swelled with particular fury in the pope's homeland. Benedict's move to unify the church — urging extreme-right traditionalists to return — had backfired badly.
Siegfried Wiedenhofer, a retired professor of systematic theology at Goethe University in Frankfurt, was guided for 15 years by Benedict, who was a professor at the time and who oversaw Wiedenhofer's doctoral thesis. Wiedenhofer knows the pope as a theologian who spent a lifetime reading and writing. That cerebral outlook may be a strength and a weakness, Wiedenhofer said.
Williamson became a riveting sideshow to Benedict's deeply serious effort to determine if the clerics and the schismatic sect founded by Marcel Lefebvre were ready to accept decades-old changes of the Second Vatican Council.
That aim of his papacy appears seriously weakened. Others, even within Vatican City, fear that the damage goes deeper.
Italian journalist Marco Politi, who has written books on Benedict and on his popular predecessor John Paul II, sees a stark difference between the papacies. "John Paul II was a spin doctor. He knew the media was important," Politi said.
"Benedict XVI doesn't often calculate his decisions on public opinion. He acts very alone," Politi said.
Politi said Vatican insiders know "that certain issues — the Jews, the Holocaust, German Jews and German Christians — must be handled correctly" and in consultation. The confusing litany of Vatican explanations hurt Benedict's image if not authority, he said.
Williamson, who lives in Argentina, still stokes the controversy. Just as Vatican statements cooled some tempers, Williamson told Der Spiegel that he was not yet reversing course. He instead wanted time to read more history — a pose interpreted to suggest a possible legal battle with the Vatican.
Last Sunday, the Archbishop of Munich, already blunt in his frustration at the mistake, again warned about the dangers of anti-Semitism and Holocaust deniers. Since January, bishops from Freiburg to Stuttgart to Hamburg to Berlin have levied criticism at the pope and the Vatican. Walter Kasper, a German prelate in charge of interfaith relations, took to Vatican Radio to explicitly blame the Curia, the Vatican management.
Jewish groups in Germany — as well as global Jewish organizations — are taking heart in the pope's assurances but remain vigilant over further missteps about a papal trip to Israel apparently planned for May.
"Holocaust denial must not go uncensored, and anti-Semites should not be allowed to have a say in the church," Ronald Lauder of the World Jewish Congress said in the course of the controversy. A delegation from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations met with the pope Thursday and responded positively to yet another statement of reconciliation from him.

The aim of restorative justice is to return the person to a useful position in the community. Thus, there can be healing on both sides. Such justice is a mystery that only makes sense to the soul. It is a direct corollary of our "economy of grace" and yet the term restorative justice only entered our vocabulary in the last few decades. How can we deny that there is an evolution of consciousness?
What humanity really needs is an honest exposure of the truth and accountability for what has happened. Only then can human beings move ahead with dignity. Hurt needs to be spoken and heard. It does not just go away on its own.
As any good therapist will tell you, you cannot heal what you do not acknowledge. What you do not consciously acknowledge will remain in control from within, festering and destroying you and those around you. In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus teaches, "If you bring forth that which is within you, it will save you. If you do not bring it forth, it will destroy you".
Only mutual apology, healing, and forgiveness offer a sustainable future for humanity. Otherwise, we are controlled by the past, individually and corporately. We all need to apologize, and we all need to forgive or this human project will surely self-destruct. Otherwise, history devolves into taking sides, bitterness, holding grudges, and the violence that inevitably follows. As others have said, "Forgiveness is to let go of our hope for a different past." Reality is what it is, and such acceptance leads to great freedom, as long as there is also both accountability and healing forgiveness.
is a heartache and difficult to achieve because strangely, the act of forgiveness not only refuses to eliminate the original wound, but actually draws us closer to its source. To approach forgiveness is to close in on the nature of the hurt itself, the only remedy being, as we approach its raw center, to reimagine our relation to it.

Trevor Lawrence and Jaguars stun Chargers in playoffs
Leave a Comment / Sports / By admin
JACKSONVILLE, Florida. – The Jaguars started on the wrong side of history and came out on the other.
Just like that, storybook season continues with a playoff performance for the ages.
Trevor Lawrence erased the worst half of the football of his life with one of the best, leading the Jaguars to a comeback of sorts, they did it and you still can't believe it happened 31-30 on the Chargers on a chilly Saturday night at TIAA Bank Field.
Riley Patterson's 36-yard field as time ticked away sparked an electric celebration that put a series of exclamation points on a comeback from a 27-0 deficit.
Yes, 27-0! The Jaguars had five turnovers and were dead in the water in the first half. They responded with a roar and delivered Doug Pederson one of the greatest wins of his career.
"I mean, that's it. That's exactly what I told them at halftime, it's kind of like our season," Pederson said. "We sometimes got into a hole, and sometimes we got out of it. Just having the resilience and the fight and the desire and the ability to keep playing because it could have easily gone the other way, and that's why I'm so proud of these guys. It's all on the line, and they go out and do the work.
Lawrence threw four interceptions in the first half and countered that with four touchdowns and a two-point conversion jump after that with 5 minutes and 30 seconds left to put Jacksonville in position for a comeback that didn't seem realistic. The defense forced a punt and Lawrence devised a classic drive from his own 21 to set up Patterson at the dagger to win it.
It was the third-biggest comeback in playoff history and sends the Jaguars to the divisional playoffs next week. Their opponent will be finalized on Sunday but will likely be either the top-seeded Chiefs or the No. 2 Bills, barring any major upsets.
"That's typical of us," wide receiver Marvin Jones said. "We know how to throw a good party."
Receiver Christian Kirk added: "I told them we would never do that again."
For the Jaguars to even sniff out the divisional round was unthinkable when the game was in the first half.
Lawrence threw four interceptions in the first two quarters — half of what he threw in the previous 17 games combined — that silenced the crowd of 70,250 almost immediately. That start was historically bad, but Lawrence's arrival managed to make it a footnote.
From a 27-0 second quarter deficit, Lawrence threw second-half touchdown passes to Zay Jones, Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones, then added a two-point conversion jump on the pile for the bring to 30-28 with 5:30 to go. Lawrence, feeling the impossible was within reach, rammed the ball in as hard as he's ever done after a scoring play and the crowd went ballistic.
The Jaguars defense was huge after that. Roy Robertson-Harris sacked Justin Herbert for an 8 loss. And Foye Oluokun stopped Joshua Kelly short on third down to force a punt. Lawrence recovered it with 3:09 to go at his own 21.
"I mean the odds, I told the boys, I don't like my odds but I like my odds," Oluokun said. "As long as there is a small chance of winning, we will keep fighting. We saw the tables start to turn, we got some momentum, we kept that, we keep throwing the ball back on offense and they started rolling.
On the field, Lawrence moved the Jaguars, hitting Kirk, Marvin Jones and Zay Jones with four assists, although a third and a goal for Kirk was off. This set up a game for the match. Fourth-and-1 at the Chargers 41 and too far for Patterson, Pederson brought in Travis Etienne.
Instead of going up the middle, Etienne broke down the right side and had an open field to work with. He was tackled after a 20 gain and that set up Patterson for a doable shot which he nailed.
Ball game.
Lawrence's three interceptions in the first quarter marked the first time in NFL playoff history that a quarterback was picked three times in the first quarter, according to the Boston Globe.
His four first-half interceptions is a dubious feat achieved only once in playoff history, in the 1978 Super Bowl by Denver's Craig Morton against the Cowboys. Lawrence finished 28 of 47 for 288 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions.
"For me, obviously yes, definitely the worst half of my life as a footballer, of a lot of people's lives too," Lawrence said. "Some type of history probably in that stat."
He found a rhythm after that disastrous start, putting Jacksonville within 30-20 on a 39-yard touchdown against Zay Jones late in the third quarter.
Lawrence had the worst game he had at any level of football, throwing an interception in the second play of the game, another in Jacksonville's next practice, and another late in the first quarter. Those led to a quick 17 points for the Chargers and a lead that was almost too steep to overcome.
"I played with one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Brett Favre and there were times when he didn't have a good first half and came back in the second half and could enlighten it," Pederson said.
"That's what I love about Trevor and his demeanor, his aggression and his ability to forget and move on. But he'll be the first to tell you it's not about him, but also guys around him. [They] made plays, protection was good, receivers were doing a good job of being where they needed to be. But from an individual point of view, it's really a great performance from our quarterback. »
Lawrence came out of his funk before halftime, throwing a 9-yard touchdown to Evan Engram. He added that 39-yard strike to Jones and a 6-yard pass to Marvin Jones in the third quarter that cut the deficit to 30-20.
This started the thought process. Maybe, just maybe?
"I hope we will play a little better next week. The defence, I hope they play like they did tonight. They did a great job. But offensively, you can't return the ball that many times and expect to win. We found a way tonight, but it's probably not a good formula going forward," Lawrence said. "So I know for me personally, it shouldn't take that type of second half to win the game. If you played better in the first half and took care of the ball.
The start drained the stadium's electricity in the blink of an eye. After picks on Jacksonville's first two drives and a punt afterwards, Lawrence was picked for the third time in the first quarter, and the second by Asante Samuel, who set up a 6-yard touchdown by Austin Ekeler. By the time the opening quarter ended in a 17-0 deficit, Lawrence had completed four passes to teammates and three to the Chargers.
No one expected the Jaguars to be in this position. Cleaning up the mess of Urban Meyer and years of struggles before that, it would have been ambitious for Jacksonville to turn the corner in 2022.
But the Jaguars escaped a 2-6 start and won their final five games of the season to snatch an unexpected AFC South title.
It's house money. And the Jaguars are still spending it.

MP Phil Woolas in immigration police gaffe
LABOUR'S immigration chief has provoked an outcry with his suggestion that desk-bound officials are "putting their lives on the line" for their country.
By Macer Hall
00:00, Wed, Dec 9, 2009
Labour immigration chief Phil Woolas made the comments on a BBC Radio 4 interview [Zak Hussein/PA Wire]
Gaffe-prone Phil Woolas claimed bungling management at the UK Border Agency, who have presided over chaos in the system, were "very brave men and women".
He was last night accused of being "deeply insensitive" by seeming to compare office-based civil servants with soldiers serving on the front line. But the immigration minister hit back, describing the criticism as "ridiculous and contemptible."
The row erupted as the Ministry of Defence last night released the name of the 100th British soldier killed in Afghanistan this year.
Mr Woolas, who has made a string of hugely embarrassing gaffes in his post, made his latest outburst in an attempt to justify nearly £300,000 handed out to senior Border Agency staff last year despite the disorganisation in the immigration system.
It's deeply insensitive to make those statements the day after the 100th member of the armed forces was killed in Afghanistan this year.
Tory MP Patrick Mercer
"I'm defending my staff, who put their lives on the line for us," he said. "I think the UK Border Agency should be praised. They are very brave men and women."
Mr Woolas' remarks came as he was questioned about the lavish bonuses in a BBC Radio 4 interview.
He admitted that about 29 senior managers in the UK Border Agency were paid bonuses worth approximately £10,000.
He added: "We've got a superb management team that is getting on top of what is probably the most difficult public policy area in political life.
"There are 285million people who visit the United Kingdom every year, and organising that mass movement of people to protect our borders from the people who have bad intent is a huge job."
And Mr Woolas insisted: "Compared to other people in public life they're not highly paid at all."
Tory MP Patrick Mercer, a former Army officer, said: "I think this is another extraordinary statement. It is a very hard thing to swallow for our fighting forces to be compared to an immigration service about which most of us have the gravest of doubts.
Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne said: "It seems a week cannot go by without Phil Woolas putting his foot firmly in his mouth.
"Our immigration system has been an absolute shambles for years and the minister's defence seems to be to make heroes out of people doing their job."
Mr Woolas last night issued a statement through the Home Office insisting that he had not compared immigration staff with British troops.
"It is ridiculous and contemptible to suggest that I compared the immigration service to our soldiers serving in Afghanistan," he said.
"UK Border Agency front-line officers work 24/7 at our ports around the country and posts abroad to protect our border, and in daily operations in partnership with the police to arrest and deport foreign criminals in often difficult and dangerous situations."
The row flared after a scathing report from senior MPs condemned bonus payments of £295,000 to Border Agency managers. It revealed 29 senior staff were paid a total of £295,000 in the financial year 2007-08, an average of more than £10,000 each.
Yet the bonuses were awarded as the agency struggled to cope with a backlog of about 450,000 asylum cases. Since the figure came to light three years ago, only about half of the cases have been dealt with.
About 74,000 asylum seekers and their children have been granted leave to remain and only 30,000, or 14 per cent, have been removed from the country.
Increasing numbers are being allowed to stay because, as time passes with further delays, they are more likely to have established a "family life" in the UK, the report from the Commons Home Affairs Committee said.
Labour MP Keith Vaz, chairman of the committee, was "very concerned" by the high number of errors discovered in asylum backlog files.
The committee called for the target of 2011 for officials to deal with the "substantial" backlog to be brought forward to September next year.
Earlier this year, Mr Woolas provoked anger by claiming that one "benefit" of the Army's presence in Afghanistan was that the troops "help us control immigration".
He argued that withdrawing the troops would lead to a "significant" surge in asylum seekers from Afghanistan.
Mr Woolas has been repeatedly criticised for claiming the Government will not allow Britain's population to exceed 70million despite official forecasts that the figure will be breached within 20 years.


I haven't done nail posts in ages and recently I've just gotten back into painting my nails often again. You know what that means right, more Nail of the Day posts coming up. What I have for you today is another treasure from the Elizabeth Arden 'New York in Bloom' Colour collection. You can read more about the collection in a previous post here.
The shade I have painted my claws with is called 'Teal Blossom', a gorgeous teal colour which comes in a duo. On one side you have the nail colour and on the other you have the top coat, a feature I absolutely love as it is perfect for travelling with – I've whipped it out on the train journey home numerous times!
The consistency of the nail lacquer is really creamy and two coats is more than enough to create an opaque finish. The top coat provides a glossy finish and really more than anything it is the perfect duo to throw into your handbag and travel with. The colour is perfect for the transition between summer and autumn. I added a little accent nail but adding a little bit of silver glitter to the tip. I find the lasting power is pretty good too, it doesn't start chipping until the fifth day or so which is quite impressive and it lasts even longer with my much loved Seche Vite top coat on top.
The duo retails for £14.00 and can be picked up from any Elizbeth Arden stockists. You can also pick it up online here.
Hi lovelies, happy Tuesday (was meant to be Monday!) Funny how there is 5 whole days between Monday to Friday and only 2 tiny days between Friday to Monday right? Hardly sounds fair at all! Today I thought I'd share with you my current nail polish obsession, and a manicure look that I've just discovered. It really puts me in the mood for our non existent Spring season!
Now in that pastel mint collection we have quite a range of polishes, from OPI, Essie to Avon and Bourjois Paris. Some of them are a lighter mint, others a tad bit darker and probably some pretty much the same. However I am not just saying this, this is the best quality one from the bunch hands down. I introduce you to Nails Inc Haymarket, the most opaque, perfect consistency pastel polish I have ever tried. I'd double underline that 'best' if I could.
As you can see from the pictures, I created a gradient/ombre effect on my nails and left my ring finger fully coated in Haymarket. This was a late night spur of the moment nail polish application and I was so impressed with the results of just one coat of polish, I didn't even bother applying another coat. I've been wearing this manicure out for a few days and I've gotten lots of compliments on it, and it didn't chip! I took the pictures about three days into the manicure, it was much more glossy and shiny straight after the application and the next day.
So to wrap it all up, I actually got this from QVC however I can't seem to find the polish on their site. You can pick it up from any Nails Inc stockist or directly from their website here. The nail polish retails for £11. I have a feeling this duck egg colour is going to be very popular again this year, it seems to be appearing a lot in fashion forecasts for the summer. For those of you who love good deals like me I have great news. QVC have some amazing sets available with great savings like a mini 6 piece nail polish collection for under £15! I've had my eye on the Nails Inc Britannia Collection (below) since last summer and I think after I've uploaded this post it may accidentally find its way into my basket. You can view the huge range of Nails Inc products at QVC here and the great thing about QVC is that you can read all the reviews there too from customers, I spy a lot of 5 star reviews!
Happy Valentines! Yes, your not seeing things, this is the second post of the day. But as I was pampering myself up to go to the cinema (what! Moulin Rouge one of my all time favourites is in cinema for one day and you expect me to stay home?!) and painting my nails, I realised just how perfect my nails were for Valentine's day and I couldn't not write about it. The post had to happen today, Valentine's day or just not happen at all.
My nails are a gorgeous deep matte red, perfect for Valentine's day. For some weird reason my matte topcoat didn't make the tips of my nails as matte as the rest but I'm really not complaining at all because I honestly like the results. For my red, I used the gorgeous Filthy Gorgeous London nail polish in .. wait for it.. Valentine. Yes truly I am wearing Valentine on my nails for Valentine's day and its a red, how much more perfect can it get. This colour looks gorgeous on, I love how it suits my skin tone, and at university I've already had compliments on the colour. This costs £9.00 and you can pick it up here.
I introduce you to Estee Lauder's Pure Colour nail polish in Pure Red. Pure Red really is the perfect name for it, it's gorgeous and really is pure in colour in the sense that one coat gives you a pure wash of colour… I usually always need at least two coats with nail polishes however with this polish one was enough. I love how Estee Lauder refer to their nail polishes as nail lacquer, it seems much more glamorous than plain old polish. Overall the quality of the polish was really nice and smooth, almost buttery when applying. It's lasted on my nails really well without chipping and I'm more than satisfied with it. This is definitely a colour that will be getting a lot of use, especially throughout this holiday month.
You can pick this up for £14.50, although I got it for 15% cheaper as Debenhams were having a beauty discount thingy at the time! Currently the Estee Lauder website are doing free delivery and two free samples, so you might want to take a look at that here.
Today's post is featuring nails that I have been getting tons and tons of compliments on. I do tend to pretend I drew the birds on myself and waiting to see if the complimenter believes me. Surprisingly, so many people do! But no, no trick nail art here, just some amazing nail tattoos.
The Nail Tattoos by Nail Art are so easy to work with, you just stick them on, apply a topcoat and your ready to rock gorgeous nails. How pretty is the design I stuck on? It looks like the little birds are in flight I absolutely love them. I can't really go on and on and write an essay on this product because there really isn't much to say other than they are amazing. They lasted until I removed them, I was worried that they may un-stick or peel off however they remained intact. They are priced at a very reasonable £5.99 and you can buy them here and soon they should be hitting Boots.
On my nails I put on two coats of Essie Mint Candy Apple and a sparkly top coat on the tips. After making sure my nails were fully dried I stuck the cute little birdies on. I think this little pack of nail art would be perfect for cheap affordable Christmas pressies, actually it would be absolutely perfect as a stocking filler. Add a bottle of someone's favourite nail polish and you've got a great present to gift!
Hope you enjoyed today's post, it does feel super short and I miss rambling on and on. I know I definitely will be turning to this kit for quick pretty nail art when I'm in a rush and can't recommend it enough. I hope they bring out coloured nail art soon, although I'm not really sure what colour I would like to see. It's great that black works well with everything! Until next time, have a lovely day!
Oh also, enter my giveaway! The odds of you winning are super high..

China warns the U.S. of getting burnt in the end by playing with fire after stirring up a trade war with China, as China is ready for further escalation from the U.S. side and is prepared with detailed countermeasures.
The US government announced on Tuesday a proposed list of 1,300 products subject to a suggested tariff of 25 percent, worth $50 billion. China struck back with a tariff plan of equal scale, with a list of U.S. products including soybeans, automobiles and aircraft.
On April 6, China gave a stronger response to the U.S. proposal for additional tariffs on a list of 100-billion-U.S. dollar Chinese products.
U.S. soybean future dropped following the release of China's countermeasures.
Although the U.S. is a main supplier of soybeans to China, the soybeans are not irreplaceable. Statistics indicate that Brazil is the largest source of soybeans to China, while U.S. soybeans exported to China account for 62 percent of its total.
The U.S. aircraft industry will also suffer a lot from the countermeasures, which may cause not only China's cancellation of orders for several thousand Boeing airplanes, in addition it may bring about the transfer of the global aircraft manufacturing industry chain to Europe and Asia.
What the U.S. will lose is not only orders, employment and profits, but also this future potential in the aircraft industry.
Moreover, the countermeasures directly attacked the U.S. automobile industry. The price for U.S. automobiles exported to China will rise by 20 percent after the tariffs are slapped on.
The competitiveness of the U.S. automobile industry, therefore, will fall sharply, and China will increase orders for automobiles from European and Asian countries. More importantly, slapping tariffs on imports of U.S. automobiles will stimulate development of China's automobile industry.
The proposed tariff list based on the Section 301 investigation mainly involves China's high-tech industries including aerospace, information and communication technologies, robotics, pharmaceuticals and machinery.
The investigation was initiated in the name of protecting intellectual property rights, while the truth is that China did not adopt U.S. technologies in neither its aerospace nor information or communications industries.
The U.S. has ulterior motives in starting the trade war. Its purpose is to curb China's implementation of the strategy of "Made in China 2025" and its development of high-tech industries.
Nevertheless, the trick will not succeed after all, as the development of China's emerging sectors, also China's competitive industries involved in the strategy, will not be contained by these tariffs.
China's economic structure has been successfully transformed. Its service sector has surpassed its industry to be the locomotive of China's economic growth.
The country, which has been deepening reform and opening up, is also easing access to the service sector in the regards of finance, education, health care as well as the telecom industries.
However, the financial sector, as the core industry and economic lifeline of the U.S., will be likely to lose the opportunity of entering the world's largest market of China because of the trade war.
Today, the U.S. is undoubtedly kicking down the ladder after its economy just recovered from the financial crisis in 2008, when China contributed more than half to global economic growth at the height of the financial crisis. Without China, it may be have been difficult for the U.S. to get out of that crisis at the time.

'Avoid new taxes'
Published:Wednesday | April 14, 2010 | 12:00 AM
Opposition Spokesman on Finance Dr Omar Davies addresses Parliament during his contribution yesterday to the 2010-2011 Budget Debate. - Ricardo Makyn/Staff Photographer
Daraine Luton, Senior Staff Reporter
OPPOSITION SPOKESMAN on Finance Dr Omar Davies is cautioning the Government against setting up what he claims are unrealistic fiscal targets and has stopped just short of advising the administration to prepare for mass protests if a tax package is announced this year.
"Regardless of any agreement with any organisation, anywhere, there is no chance that any further taxation can be tolerated by the population. The hardships are very real and there are significant sections of the population which are hurting," Davies declared as he addressed the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon.
The opposition finance spokesman was making his contribution to the 2010-2011 Budget Debate in Parliament, the first since Jamaica re-entered a borrowing relationship with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in February.
The IMF has outlined the parameters under which Jamaica's economy must operate. Included among the requirements is a directive to eliminate the budget deficit by 2013-2014.
However, Davies, who served the country as finance minister for 14 years, claimed the past fiscal year was characterised by chaotic tax packages and poor economic management under Finance Minister Audley Shaw's watch.
Pointing to the targets for fiscal year 2009-2010, which began with a 5.5 per cent projection and was revised twice to 10.9 per cent of GDP, Davies said the 6.5 per cent budget deficit being projected for this year rings hollow.
"Don't set up impossible targets to embarrass yourself or to mislead yourself," Davies advised.
6.5 per cent deficit
Shaw told Parliament last week that Government would be running a fiscal deficit of 6.5 per cent. However, Davies said Shaw's record of missing targets was indicative of a credibility problem.
"The minister needs to indicate to us why the country should believe that he will be able to meet the target this year when three targets in 2009-2010 were missed," Davies said.
The constant revision of the deficit targets last year was tied in with Government's decision to introduce three tax packages throughout the fiscal year as it struggled to fund its programmes.
Preliminary data out of the ministry of finance indicates that, even with the tax packages, tax revenue fell short of projection by $26 billion. Shaw had projected to earn $291.6 billion from taxes but raked in $265.8 billion.
This year, the finance minister is projecting to earn $287 billion from taxes to finance his $503-billion Budget.
A fiery Davies told Parliament yesterday that Shaw needed to explain "why there should be confidence that we will be able to meet the target of $287 billion, given the clear evidence that taxpayers are maxed out in terms of their disposable income".
Full brunt of taxes
Davies noted that this fiscal year would reflect the first full year in which the population will be facing "the full brunt of the ... tax packages presented to us last year".
Last fiscal year saw Government increasing the general consumption tax (GCT) base from 16.5 per cent to 17.5 per cent. There were also increases in GCT for items such as electricity and telephones, as well as a special consumption tax on fuel.
Government also increased property taxes at the start of this fiscal year.
Davies has questioned whether any study has been done to determine whether the expected revenue can be "squeezed from the population". He said there was no question that financing the Budget this year poses special challenges.
Suggesting that Government might eventually be moved to consider new taxes, he, however, noted that "the special difficulty we face is that within the context of an IMF agreement with specific deficit targets agreed to, the options are few if revenue falls below projection."

Pioneering Political Journalist Marianne Means Has Died at Age 83
The first woman assigned to cover a president's activities on a full-time basis, Means wrote a widely syndicated column about the goings-on in Washington

Marianne Means, the barrier-breaking political journalist who was the first woman assigned to cover a president's activities on a full-time basis, has died at the age of 83. Her son-in-law, Peter Dunning, named complications from colon cancer as the cause of death, reports Harrison Smith of the Washington Post.
For more than four decades, Means covered the goings-on of Washington in a widely syndicated column for Hearst Newspapers. She is said to have been a favorite of John F. Kennedy, who observed Means working hard to report stories that would rival those of her male counterparts. "Give her some stories," JFK told an aide, according to Carl Sferrazza Anthony, author of The Kennedy White House. "Give her all the help you can."
Means was born Marianne Hansen in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1934. She graduated from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in 1956, the same year that she married Cecil Paul Means—the first of her five husbands. As an undergraduate student, Means served as the managing editor of the Daily Nebraskan, the University of Nebraska's student paper. In her last-ever column for Hearst Newspapers, Means wrote that she first met Kennedy during her Nebraska years, "while working on a crusade to get him to visit the campus." When Kennedy finally arrived at Nebraska University, Means was tasked with driving him around. They hit it off—a fruitful encounter that would one day help Means score her big break.
After graduation, Means worked for two years as a copy editor at the Lincoln Journal-Star, a Nebraska publication. But when she tried to transition to Washington newspapers, Means was barred from the copy desk; editors, she was told, were supposed to be men. So she decided to work as a reporter, joining Hearst Newspapers in 1959. When Kennedy won the presidential election of 1960, Hearst decided to take a chance on the young journalist who had a personal rapport with the new president, assigning Means to work as a White House correspondent.
Though trailblazing reporter Helen Thomas received her first assignment to report on the president-elect in 1960, White House press events were overwhelmingly dominated by men at the time. "It is taken for granted nowadays that women reporters are as competent as men to cover the White House. But I was the first woman assigned to cover a president's activities on a full-time basis — Helen Thomas covered the First Lady then — and I therefore was the object of some controversy," Means told Kendall K. Hoyt and Frances Spatz Leighton for the 1979 tell-all, Drunk Before Noon: The Behind-The-Scenes Story of the Washington Press Corps.
Undaunted, Means was on hand to cover major political events of the 1960s, including the assassination of John F. Kennedy. She was in the first press car when the president was shot, and the image of JFK's blood-soaked convertible would haunt her for decades.
"Every detail of the day will be imprinted on my mind forever," she once told University of Nebraska journalism student Melissa Dunne.
In 1963, Means published The Woman in the White House, a book about first ladies that included interviews with JFK, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. She began writing her twice-weekly column for Hearst in 1965. Means kept up the column going until 2008, and told Dunne that she rarely struggled to find content for her articles. "The Lord always provides," she said. "Some politician always screws up."
Though Means broke new ground for women journalists, she had to contend with her fair share of sexism in the White House. Harry S. Truman, she wrote in her 2008 farewell column, once told her that he would "spank" her if she did not write favorably about his wife. "At my first presidential press conference, in December 1956," she added, "President Dwight D. Eisenhower failed to recognize my wildly flaying arm and call on me, although I was the only woman in the press contingent (or maybe because I was). If I had worn a red dress, it probably wouldn't have helped. I tried out fruitlessly for radio jobs and was repeatedly told: 'Nobody will take a woman's voice seriously.'"
The climate has improved for women journalists, Means said in her interview with the University of Nebraska's Dunne. But in her final, 2008 column, Means opined that the world of political reporting had changed for the worse. "Candidates are happy to trot out their own versions of events but when they are questioned, they blame the media," Means wrote. "This has become a rotten system."
"It's a new world, for someone else to figure out," she concluded before signing off. "So I bid you fond farewell, and I will miss you all terribly."

Q: JQUERY MOBILE clone form with select, and reset options I'm trying to clone a form that is based on jquery mobile design.
The problem is when the select is cloned, because I can not select other options.
Please check the code at https://jsfiddle.net/vgacia24/1jmxjzya/5/
here is the code

$(function () {
    $('#btnAdd').click(function () {

Please check the code at jsfiddle link to try with jquery mobile
https://jsfiddle.net/vgacia24/1jmxjzya/3/

A: Using jQuery.clone() is a terrible idea here because jQueryMobile will modify your HTML to create some elements.
In our case it replace this :
<select name="unidad" id="unidad" class="test-select2" data-native-menu="true">
    <option value="">Seleccionar Unidad</option>
    <option value="kg">Kg</option>
    <option value="lts">Lts</option>
 </select>

By this :

        Seleccionar Unidad
        <select name="unidad" id="unidad" class="test-select2" data-native-menu="true">
            <option value="">Seleccionar Unidad</option>
            <option value="kg">Kg</option>
            <option value="lts">Lts</option>
         </select>

So your clone also copy the generated HTML from jQueryMobile. A quick dirty fix would be to manipulate this new HTML to remove useless stuff and ask jQueryMobile to apply again.
You can do so this way :
// LISTA 2
    newElem.find('.test-select-label2').attr('for', 'ID' + newNum + '_select');
    var tmp = newElem.find('select').clone();
    newElem.find('.ui-select').before(tmp).remove();
    newElem.find('.test-select2').attr('id', 'ID' + newNum + '_select').attr('name', 'ID' + newNum + '_select').val('').selectmenu();

Please keep in mind it will be really difficult for you to maintain such code. You should find a way to do not use jQuery.clone().
Here is the jsFiddle ;) : https://jsfiddle.net/1jmxjzya/4/

A: I would use a template engine (like Mustache or Handlebars) instead of cloning.
UPDATE:
Example using Handlebars:
Template:

JavaScript:
$(function () {
    var html = $("#template").html();
    var template = Handlebars.compile(html);
    $('#btnAdd').click(function () {
        var num = $('.clonedInput').length + 1, // how many "duplicatable" input fields we currently have
        newElem = template({num: num});
        // Insert el nuevo elemento despues del ultimo campo "input" duplicado
        $('#add-del-buttons').before(newElem);
        // Enhance inserted element
        $("#testingDiv" + num).listview().enhanceWithin();

Hsp104 is a protein remodeling factor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae which couples the energy released from ATP hydrolysis to the disaggregation of amyloid and amorphous protein aggregates. Hsp104 assembles into a hexamer with a central channel through which aggregated substrates are threaded. The exact mechanistic details of how Hsp104 accomplishes disaggregation have not been fully articulated. In this work, our goal was to determine the role of inter-subunit communication in amyloid and amorphous substrate disaggregation and to resolve the function of the distal loop of the Middle Domain of Hsp104.
Using a mutant subunit doping analysis, we determined whether Hsp104 subunits work in concert to accomplish substrate disaggregation. We found that during amorphous substrate disaggregation, Hsp104 subunits act independent from each other. In contrast, when Hsp104 encounters more stable substrates, like amyloid, the subunits collaborate to hydrolyze ATP and to bind substrate to accomplish disaggregation. The amount of inter-subunit collaboration was found to be commensurate with the stability of the aggregated substrate: more stable aggregates required more subunit collaboration. Furthermore, we found two Hsp104 mutants, L462R and D704N, which specifically impaired inter-subunit communication, indicating that the regions containing these mutations may be critical for relaying intra-subunit signals.
To disaggregate amorphous aggregates, Hsp104 must work in concert with the chaperone pair Hsp70 and Hsp40. How Hsp104 interfaces productively with Hsp70 and Hsp40 is undetermined. Recently, it has become apparent that the coiled coil Middle Domain (MD) of Hsp104 and ClpB play a key role in collaboration with Hsp70 and Hdp40. Here, we determine that the distal loop portion of the MD is especially important for collaboration with Hsp70 and Hsp40, as mutations in this region specifically ablate the functional interaction with Hsp70. Furthermore, the distal loop of Hsp104 appears to be involved in an interface with the second nucleotide binding domain (NBD2) of Hsp104 as shown by tryptophan fluorescence, hydroxyl radical foot-printing, and disulfide cross-linking. We hypothesize that the distal loop interaction with NBD2 is inhibitory to productive collaboration with Hsp70 and Hsp40.
