31 CFR 903.3 - Termination of collection activity.

§ 903.3 Termination of collection activity.

(a) Agencies may terminate collection activity when:

(1) The agency is unable to collect any substantial amount through its own efforts or through the efforts of others;

(2) The agency is unable to locate the debtor;

(3) Costs of collection are anticipated to exceed the amount recoverable;

(4) The debt is legally without merit or enforcement of the debt is barred by any applicable statute of limitations;

(5) The debt cannot be substantiated; or

(6) The debt against the debtor has been discharged in bankruptcy.

(b) Before terminating collection activity, the agency should have pursued all appropriate means of collection and determined, based upon the results of the collection activity, that the debt is uncollectible. Termination of collection activity ceases active collection of the debt. The termination of collection activity does not preclude the agency from retaining a record of the account for purposes of:

(1) Selling the debt, if the Secretary determines that such sale is in the best interests of the United States;

(2) Pursuing collection at a subsequent date in the event there is a change in the debtor's status or a new collection tool becomes available;

(3) Offsetting against future income or assets not available at the time of termination of collection activity; or

(4) Screening future applicants for prior indebtedness.

(c) Generally, agencies shall terminate collection activity on a debt that has been discharged in bankruptcy, regardless of the amount. Agencies may continue collection activity, however, subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, for any payments provided under a plan of reorganization. Offset and recoupment rights may survive the discharge of the debtor in bankruptcy and, under some circumstances, claims also may survive the discharge. For example, the claims of an agency that it is a known creditor of a debtor may survive a discharge if the agency did not receive formal notice of the proceedings. Agencies should seek legal advice from their agency counsel if they believe they have claims or offsets that may survive the discharge of a debtor.

News of the Church

By DeLynn Decker

    Elder O. Leslie Stone Eulogized

    “I have received the sweet and comforting assurance that there is no untimely passing of a General Authority. Elder Stone’s earthly service is finished. He has been called to further important service in the great program of the Lord, which moves forward on both sides of the veil.”

    So spoke President Ezra Taft Benson in memorializing Elder O. Leslie Stone of the First Quorum of the Seventy April 30 at funeral services in the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. President Benson also praised Elder Stone as a man of “deep spiritual insight, with Christlike attributes.”

    Elder O. Leslie Stone

    President Thomas S. Monson, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, also spoke, pointing out that as a successful businessman, Elder Stone nevertheless followed the Savior’s admonition to focus his greatest efforts in life on things that were heavenly, not earthly, treasures. Among these treasures were his wife, Dorothy, and his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. Another of Elder Stone’s treasures was the testimony he so frequently bore.

    In a family tribute, Elder Stone’s son Ronald, bishop of the Modesto Fifth Ward, Modesto California North Stake, recalled his father’s loving service to his brothers and sisters, his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. Speaking for family members, Bishop Stone expressed gratitude to his departed father: “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a beautiful life, for a heritage of solid teachings.”

    President Lorenzo Hoopes of the Oakland Temple, a long-time friend of Elder Stone, read a biographical sketch.

    President Gordon B. Hinckley, First Counselor in the First Presidency, conducted the funeral service. Elder David B. Haight and Elder Marvin J. Ashton of the Council of the Twelve gave the invocation and benediction, respectively, and Elder James E. Faust, also of the Twelve, dedicated the grave before the burial in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.

    Elder Stone, eighty-two, had been in failing health. He died at his Salt Lake City home 26 April 1986 of natural causes. He had been an emeritus member of the First Quorum of the Seventy since 1980, having been a member of that quorum since its organization in 1976. He had served as an Assistant to the Twelve since October of 1972, and also as president of the Salt Lake Temple for four years before his calling as a General Authority.

    O. Leslie Stone was born 28 May 1903 in Chapin, Idaho, a Son of Frank J. and Mabel Crandall Stone. Following his public school education, he attended Brigham Young University for a time before going into the grocery business with his father and a brother. Eventually, they operated seventy Stone’s Cash Stores in Idaho. In the 1920s, their stores were sold to M.B. Skaggs, organizer of the Safeway Stores. Leslie Stone joined the Safeway organization as personnel director and worked his way up to executive vice-president before he and his employer formed Skaggs-Stone Wholesale, a general merchandising company, in 1946.

    In addition to his callings as temple president and as a General Authority, he had served as a bishop, president of the Oakland-Berkeley Stake, chairman of the Oakland Temple District during planning and construction of the temple, and as a regional representative.

    Elder Stone served for several years as Executive Director of the Church’s Temple Department before being named to emeritus status in his quorum.

    O. Leslie Stone married Dorothy Cobbley of Blackfoot, Idaho, 23 April 1924 in the Salt Lake Temple. She passed away last September. Their sons James Reed Stone and Douglas Leslie Stone also preceded him in death. Sons Ronald V. and Thomas R. both live in Modesto, California. The Stones have seventeen grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.

    Be Firm in Faith, President Benson Tells BYU Graduates

    Speaking at commencement exercises April 18, President Ezra Taft Benson told Brigham Young University graduates—“the future of the Church, the coming leaders”—that they must “stand firm in the faith, unwavering in the face of evil.”

    President Benson presided at the exercises, which were conducted by President Thomas S. Monson, Second Counselor in the First Presidency. Some 2,726 graduate and undergraduate students received their degrees at the April commencement exercises; added to the 1,333 December 1985 graduates who were invited to attend the exercises, 4,059 students were awarded degrees.

    “We hope you will be happy,” President Benson said, reminding them that “there is no happiness in wickedness. You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible!”

    In order to live the “full, wholesome, joyful life” the Lord expects men and women to have, he continued, “you must have a testimony of the truth. I have seen so much evidence of the strength of testimony under the most adverse economic and social conditions that I have reached the conclusion in my own mind that men and women can endure anything and keep their spirits sweet and wholesome provided they have a testimony of the divinity of this great work—the greatest work in all the world.

    “You must seek for it, pray for it, live for it. Be assured it will come—I bear you my witness that I know it will come—because the God of heaven wants every one of his children to know that He lives, that Jesus is the Christ, and that Joseph Smith is a prophet. You may each know that if you live for it. I’m sure of it.”

    President Benson emphasized that the Lord intends Church members to be a light to the world.

    “Remember, my beloved brothers and sisters, you will never have any occasion to be embarrassed among people who count—real men and women—if you live according to the standards, teachings, and ideals of the Church. I know that’s true.

    “Sometimes in our attempts to mimic the world, contrary to counsel, we run after the world’s false standards. New worldly standards take over, but God’s righteous children should be living up to the highest personal standards, preparing for and awaiting a better day which surely must come.

    “We do not wish you a life of ease. You will have your problems, your disappointments, your heartaches. It is not on the pinnacle of success where men and women grow most. It is often down in the valley of heartache and disappointment and reverses where men and women grow strong characters. But God intended that this life be essentially a satisfying and joyous life,” President Benson commented.

    We may achieve the happiness God intended, he said, if we hold to the iron rod, are true to the faith, maintain the standards the Lord has set, and “follow a course that is safe so that we may be exalted.”

    In his remarks to the graduates, BYU President Jeffrey R. Holland urged them to represent BYU well as they go out into the world. He reminded them that people will not be able to visit the campus “to measure us,” so they will judge BYU, and to some extent the Church, by the graduates who come from the university.

    Arthur Henry King, a professor of English, was the commencement speaker. He spoke of the nature of love and how it spreads through the human family. He told the graduates to seek education for the right reason—to be able to offer themselves, thus improved, to the Lord in loving service to others and to him.

    A Conversation about Helping the Handicapped in Local Units

    The Ensign recently spoke with Douglas L. Hind, manager of Special Curriculum, about the help available to members of the Church with handicaps.

    Q: Does the Church have any special resources to help those with handicaps?

    A: Yes. The Church has a number of printed and audiovisual resources available to local leaders, who are encouraged to find ways to best use these resources and those available in their communities to serve their own members. There are stakes in the Church that hold special midweek Young Men and Young Women meetings for the mentally retarded and learning disabled. Other areas have special area conferences for those who are handicapped, their families, and leaders.

    Many of these needs can best be met at an Area level, under direction of the Area Presidencies. Some needs and problems can be solved at the stake level, with a high councilor having the responsibility for those with special needs. Other problems can best be handled on the ward or branch level.

    One of the best things members can do is to take an interest in handicapped individuals and include them and their families in family and Church activities.

    Q: What are the resources available through the Church? For example, for the blind?

    A: We offer the Ensign Talking Book on half-speed cassettes. We produce all the basic Church manuals on cassette and some in braille. Some items are produced in large print. Upon request—and as our resources allow—we can put Church materials on cassette or in braille. For example, if a blind member in North Dakota gets called to be the new Scoutmaster and makes a request, we can record the Scout handbook or other related materials.

    We also have on cassette the scripture readers—Book of Mormon, Old and New Testament—many of the Primary manuals, and the Family Home Evening Resource Book.

    The Church has recently obtained a braille computer, and we are gradually producing more and more items in braille.

    Q: What materials are available to help deaf members?

    A: We have just put on videocassette the Book of Mormon and the Old and New Testament scripture readers. These videos use the same pictures from the books and filmstrips, but the text is given in sign language. Many of the regular videos available through the Salt Lake Distribution Center are also available through our department with either signing or closed captions.

    Last year we completed a video, And They Shall Have Joy. This video, explaining the plan of salvation, was produced with an all-deaf cast using sign language. Another videocassette presents all the priesthood ordinances performed in sign language and explains how the ordinances can be performed either by deaf priesthood holders or for the deaf.

    A new development is our ability to broadcast closed captions over the Church’s satellite system and other Church media. The general conferences, satellite broadcasts, and other selected firesides and programs will be closed captioned.

    This year the National Association for the Deaf is having their annual conference in Salt Lake City. In conjunction with this, the Church will hold a Deaf Symposium on 18–21 July 1986. This is for local leaders, parents, and deaf members and will feature workshops, a play with deaf actors, a special fireside, and a testimony meeting.

    Q: What are the special helps for the mentally retarded and those with learning disabilities ?

    A: All of the scripture story readers are excellent for the mentally retarded. They are most effective when the readers and audiocassettes are used together so the individual can hear the words and view the illustrations simultaneously. For the same reason, the mentally retarded would find useful our captioned filmstrips on Church history, the Book of Mormon, and the Old Testament.

    We have also prepared Guidelines for Parents and Guardians of Handicapped Children (PBIC0449; $2.95) and Teaching the Handicapped (PBIC0187, $5.00), which may be very helpful to those who work with the handicapped. Lists of these and materials useful to those with other handicaps are available through our office. Anyone interested in copies of these listings may write to Special Curriculum, 24th Floor, 50 East North Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84150.

    ’85 Mexico Quake: Ruins Then, Greater Faith Today

    When disaster struck Mexico City in the form of a devastating earthquake at 7:19 A.M. on 19 September 1985, a number of Latter-day Saints suffered the effects of the quake at very close range. Ten of them were killed. Many others found good reason to thank Heavenly Father for protection from death. And for one, finding life beneath the tons of rubble that had been a hospital was a reaffirmation of the importance of every soul. Following are the stories of four affected by the disaster.

    “It’s papa! It’s papa, and he’s alive!” the Ramos children shouted when the taxi stopped in front of their house in Merida, Yucatan.

    The shouts brought their mother running to greet her husband. Having him return seemed like a wonderful gift, for news accounts from Mexico City following the earthquake had made them fear he was dead.

    “There are no words to express what I felt in those moments [of reunion], loving my family as I did, and having them confirm their love for me by their tears and affection,” says Teodulo Ramos.

    He had bade them goodbye on September 16 to fly to Mexico City for a job interview. Maria Esthela Rosales de Ramos knew it was her husband’s habit to stay in the Hotel Regis when he visited Mexico City on business, and he made no exception on this trip.

    After his interview on the seventeenth, Brother Ramos was told that he would be appointed a regional construction supervisor for the Church in the southeastern part of Mexico. His new responsibilities would make it necessary to move to Mexico City, and he recalls that on the following day, September 18, finding a house to rent for his family kept him away from his hotel room until about 9:00 P.M.

    He did not feel sleepy, so he considered going out to a play or a movie. But he chose instead to go to bed around 10:00 P.M.

    “About 1:30 in the morning, I woke up thinking about the pressures of my new assignment, about my family, about the new house, and I lay that way until morning. I felt a restlessness—something strange, an uncertainty.”

    “I know that in those moments when I awoke, the Spirit was with me. It was whispering to me that something was going to happen,” he reflects. Had he stayed out late the night before, he almost certainly would not have awakened, or at least would have arisen later, “and perhaps I would not be telling this.”

    Brother Ramos rose at 5:00, got ready to go to his new job, and left the hotel by 6:00 A.M. He took the subway and had already arrived at the Church offices when the earthquake hit. There was no significant damage at the Church offices; the heaviest destruction was confined to an area in the center of the capital, with major damage in scattered areas of the city. Many large buildings fell, including, Brother Ramos learned on a radio broadcast later, the Hotel Regis. Thousands of Mexicans died in the earthquake, which measured 8.1 on the Richter scale. Approximately thirty thousand were injured, and fifty thousand were left homeless. A major aftershock one day later added little to the death toll, but brought down more of the damaged structures.

    Knowing his wife had probably heard news reports of the destruction of his hotel, Brother Ramos tried every means of contacting her. Unable to make contact on the nineteenth, he went to the city of Tulancingo, in the adjoining state of Hidalgo, and tried without success to call her from there. He went on to his brother’s home in Poza Rica, Veracruz, but was still unable to contact his wife. So he returned to Mexico City and took a flight home to that joyful reunion with his family, three days after the earthquake.

    He never returned to the Hotel Regis to try to reclaim his luggage. He knew it was buried under tons of debris. “I can replace it. But life cannot be replaced,” Brother Ramos says. “I give thanks to the Lord that I am alive.”

    At 7:00 A.M. that Thursday morning, Bertha Reyes Valdez de Tellez, a counselor in the presidency of the Relief Society of the Aragon Second Ward, Mexico City Mexico Aragon Stake, was at her post on the third floor of the San Juan telephone center. Her floor held three rooms full of switching devices. Six to eight women usually worked in a small long distance department office there, and by that hour, five of them were to be at work.

    One of them was late in arriving, so Sister Tellez went to look for her. As the latecomer entered the office, Sister Tellez felt the building begin to sway. Realizing what was happening, they murmured a few words of comfort to each other as they positioned themselves in the door frame. The other women in the room clustered there too.

    “At first I was not worried,” Sister Tellez recalls, “but then I felt the intensity [of the earthquake] increasing.” Panes of glass fell out of the windows, ceiling panels dropped, water ran from broken pipes in some walls, and chunks of building materials fell from the walls, shattering the glass on top of desks.

    “Really, I wasn’t frightened or panicky; I was resigned that this was the end. I closed my eyes to pray,” she remembers. She tried to shut out the wailing of coworkers. When she opened her eyes after her short prayer, the shaking had stopped, but she was covered with fine debris and the air was full of dust. She could hear her companions making their way down the stairs.

    Her route out of the office took her past the only telephone that appeared intact. She tried it, and to her surprise, it worked! She called her home to assure herself of her family’s safety. Others returned to use the telephone, until some of their supervisors cautioned that they might be endangering themselves by remaining in the building. Sister Tellez and the others picked their way down the stairs, which were almost without support from the crumbling walls.

    In the street, Sister Tellez could tell that the adjacent annex building with its microwave tower had also been badly damaged. It was “incredible to see that all the telephonic advances accomplished during fifty years had been wiped out in less than two minutes.”

    Looking back on the experience, she was struck by the contrast between the peace she felt as she prayed during the quake and the crying and wailing of her companions around her. She was confident she was addressing a loving Heavenly Father who was watching over her, regardless of whether that particular moment brought the end of her mortal life.

    The close brush with death has helped her understand, Sister Tellez explains, that for those who live as our Heavenly Father has directed, “it will be marvelous to stand one day in his presence with complete confidence and without fear.”

    Because his flight did not depart until 11:30 P.M., Lino Alvarez, associate director of the Church Educational System in northeastern Mexico, arrived in the capital city after midnight on the morning of September 19. He had arranged to attend meetings the next morning with two other CES associate directors, Alfonso Flores and Filemon Flores. They were to review 1986–87 budgets with the CES area director and zone administrator.

    All three are Church leaders in northern Mexico. Brother Alvarez, a former mission president in the southern part of the country, is regional representative for the Monterrey Mexico, Monterrey Mexico Libertad, and Saltillo Mexico regions. Jose Alfonso Flores is president of the Chihuahua Mexico Stake, and Filemon Flores is president of the Chalco Mexico Stake.

    The three men were staying at the Hotel Principado. Despite the early hour at which Brother Alvarez had checked in, he awoke well before his 6:00 A.M. wake-up call. He had said his prayers and was preparing for the day when the call came. He felt some sense of urgency in being about the day’s business, so he called his two companions, and they agreed to meet him in the lobby at 7:00. Their first meeting, they thought, was at 8:00. (Later they learned it actually had been scheduled for 9:30.)

    From the hotel lobby, the three men descended to the garage to get Filemon Flores’ car. They discussed eating breakfast at the hotel, but decided to leave immediately instead and eat at the Church’s Benemerito School, where their meetings were scheduled. Should they go back to their rooms and take their suitcases with them? No, they decided, they would be returning to the hotel that night to sleep.

    They were at a street corner about four miles from the hotel when the earthquake hit. They felt a strange vibration of the car, noticed that a man trying to step up onto a nearby curb was having trouble doing it, and then realized that everything around them was in motion. They had a good shaking, but continued on to their meetings when it stopped.

    At the school, they learned how serious the disaster had been. They heard on a radio broadcast later in the morning that their hotel had collapsed and that more than one hundred people had died there.

    In the afternoon, they went back downtown, half hoping things would not be as the radio had said. But they were shocked by the sight of what had been a hotel of seven or eight floors reduced to a pile of iron bars and concrete.

    “We felt that the Lord took us out of that hotel, and that he was the source of our feeling of urgency about leaving that morning.”

    The experience left Lino Alvarez with rekindled humility and gratitude, and with renewed resolve to serve the Lord during the time granted him on earth. “Now the words that I always use when praying have a special and different significance for me: ‘I thank thee for life.’”

    Marco Antonio Soriano was at his work as a microfilm laboratory technician when the earthquake shook the city. Learning from a radio broadcast about the destruction elsewhere, he hurried home, concerned because his wife was alone with their week-old baby.

    His wife, Irma, is a nurse who worked the 7:00 A.M. shift in the gynecology and obstetrics building at Mexico City’s General Hospital. Had her doctor’s forecast been correct, her baby would have been born on the day of the earthquake or the following day; she had planned to give birth in the building where she worked.

    It was a double shock, then, when she learned the building had collapsed in the earthquake.

    Seeing his wife so upset, Brother Soriano promised to go to the building and learn the fate of her colleagues, after first checking on the welfare of some of the families in their ward (Estrella Ward, Mexico City Mexico Churubusco Stake). At the hospital, he learned that the morning-shift nurses on his wife’s floor were all listed as missing, including her dear friend Sabina.

    Suddenly there was a shout that rescuers were needed, and Brother Soriano went to help. “We had no equipment, only our hands and our strength. There were about three hundred men, and before us a six-floor building that had been converted into a heap of debris.” They formed a human chain, moving rocks with their hands until tools and more help began to arrive.

    While others worked around the edges of the building, Brother Soriano, who knew its layout, began to break a hole in what had been its roof. He made an opening through which he, the smallest of the rescuers, could enter what was left of the sixth floor. Dragging himself through the wreckage to the area that had been the newborn nursery, he discovered a dead infant in an incubator. Sadly, he crawled back out. He had been working amid the debris for eight emotional hours.

    As he left to go home, he encountered one of his wife’s nursing colleagues near the wrecked building. She told him that for one reason or another all but two of his wife’s friends on the morning shift had been out of the building when the earthquake struck and were safe. But Sabina was one of the two missing.

    Two days later, on Saturday, Brother Soriano returned to the hospital for another day of volunteer work. This time he broke through the ceiling of the fifth floor. Around him, other volunteers continued removing bodies of infants, nurses, and doctors. Descending through the hole he had made, he dragged himself toward an incubator he had spotted. Brushing off the plastic top, he peeked at the small form inside—and it moved! “There’s a live baby here!” he called. Crawling out to obtain a saw, he reentered and soon had cut through the plastic top of the incubator. When he had the baby in his arms, he cried. “Two lays buried, and alive!” he thought to himself. The child still wore the hospital wristband that bore his name—Javier Contreras. Workers had clustered around Brother Soriano’s small entranceway, and when he handed the baby out of the hole, there were jubilant shouts. Many wept.

    The rescuers continued working and later brought out a nurse who was still alive. But as the days blurred into a series of exhausting 4:30 P.M.-to-midnight shifts for Brother Soriano, hope of finding any other survivors waned. On the twelfth day after the earthquake, he encountered a ventilation duct. With a rope tied around him, he squeezed his way down it to the rubble that had been the first floor. He encountered only corpses; there were no responses to his calls, no more noises from among the heaps of stone and concrete. He climbed out of the rubble to go home about midnight. Twenty minutes later, workers discovered the body of his wife’s friend, Sabina.

    Throughout his involvement in the rescue efforts, Brother Soriano says, “there were disagreeable experiences, experiences that hurt, and then others that brought us so much joy we shed tears of happiness. It was marvelous to see a child come out from under the debris, knowing that if the Lord protected him, it is because he still has something to do in this life.”

    His thanks, Brother Soriano says, goes to the Lord “for protecting me and my family” and for giving him the opportunity and the courage to rescue that baby.

    Mormon Battalion Visitors’ Center Reopens after Renovation

    After being closed for four and one-half months of renovation, the San Diego Mormon Battalion Visitors’ Center reopened on April 14.

    Under the direction of Church Exhibits Department personnel, the Center’s physical facilities and focus have been changed.

    “It’s absolutely beautiful,” said California San Diego Mission President Clair E. Rosenberg.

    While the new Mormon Battalion diorama and soldier statue are “very impressive,” the center’s real impact will come when visitors see its religious presentations, he said.

    Referring to the room in which the Second Coming of Christ is depicted, he commented, “I don’t see how anyone could go through there without feeling a special spirit and wanting to know more.”

    All the improvements in the center, President Rosenberg explained, are designed to teach gospel principles to nonmembers, refresh the knowledge of less active Church members, and strengthen the testimonies of active members.

    Changes include expansion of the Mormon Battalion segment of the tour, which now offers a new theater and much-improved diorama showing the battalion on the march. A new script has been developed to cover the important details of the march, and a film gives the viewer a musical, pictorial, and verbal insight into that segment of Church history. In addition, films, plaques, and audio presentations in the center are available in both Spanish and English.

    A second theater has been added for the presentation of the film Neighbors, which depicts a conversion story and answers the questions, “Who am I?” “Where did I come from?” “Why am I here?” and “Where will I go after death?”

    The room focusing on the Savior contains five large pictures that show his baptism, the calling of Apostles, the Sermon on the Mount, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. It also contains the original painting of the Second Coming by Harry Anderson. Events shown in this room are explained by both the guide and an audio presentation.

    The Restoration room offers pictures and audio presentations covering the main events in the restoration of the gospel. A replica of the gold plates is exhibited, and three pictorial displays compare the ancient Church with the restored Church of 1830 and the Church as it is today.

    In the center’s original theater, where a variety of films used to be shown on request, two films are now the standard fare: If You Love ’em, Tell ’em, a selection of the best of the “Homefront” radio and television public service announcements, and Ancient America Speaks, which offers archaeological support for the Book of Mormon. Projection equipment in the theaters has been updated from 16 mm to automatic 35 mm systems.

    In addition to the rooms visited on the tour, there is a new “teaching room” available to missionaries. There they may meet with investigators and show key missionary films as they give discussions. The room will also allow the center’s guides to do on-the-spot teaching of visitors in a private setting if the Spirit so dictates.

    The center has a library of Mormon Battalion historical sources that includes biographies, journals, and books. For the past two years, San Diego city schools have included the Mormon Battalion Visitors’ Center in their Old Town Historical/Cultural Program. Almost every day during the school year, four groups of twelve to fifteen children visit the center as part of the program. Often the children will come back later, bringing their parents.

    With the changes in the center’s structure and focus, and two opportunities to fill out referral cards during the tour, President Rosenberg believes many more people may be introduced to the gospel through the center. In 1984, some 54,177 people toured it, including 16,827 nonmembers.

    Paintings Exhibited

    Twenty-nine paintings depicting LDS religious or historical themes are currently on display in the Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City.

    The exhibit—“Paintings from the Permanent Collection: Landscapes, Portraits, Religious Themes”—will be on display through September 14.

    The museum, immediately west of Temple Square, is open seven days a week. Its weekday hours are 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., and its weekend hours are 10:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.

    Musical on Karl G. Maeser Available for Local Production

    The Brothers, a musical play that depicts the life of early Latter-day Saint educator Karl G. Maeser, premiered at the North Visitors’ Center on Temple Square April 2–13.

    The production was designed to demonstrate the type of play that could be easily staged in local units of the Church. It had minimal scenery, few props, and a variety of production aids that are being offered through Church distribution centers.

    Karl Maeser was the educator largely responsible for making tiny Brigham Young Academy into a viable institution that would become Brigham Young University.

    The play focuses on the efforts of Brother Maeser, who had been a professor in his native Germany before joining the Church in the 1850s, to travel to Utah and establish a school of his own.

    The production was directed by Keith Engar, author of both the play and the lyrics for its songs. Brother Engar is dean of the College of Fine Arts and previously served as chairman of the Theatre Department at the University of Utah. He was formerly chairman of the Church’s General Activities Committee. Music for The Brothers was composed by Robert Cundick, one of the Church’s Tabernacle organists. It was arranged by Galen Hatton, a professor of music at BYU.

    The Temple Square production used a taped orchestral score. The tape was recorded by volunteer musicians, many of them professionals. The orchestra was conducted by Ralph Laycock, a retired professor of music from BYU.

    The script (stock number PXAC1362) and the piano-vocal score (stock number PXAC1373) are both available through the Salt Lake Distribution Center. Several other production aids are also available: taped orchestral accompaniment for the production, on audiocassette (stock number VVOT2998); and the taped orchestral-solo-choral music, on audiocassette (stock number VVOT3006).

    LDS Scene

    A missionary who was shot by a burglar in an Argentine boarding house is now in a Salt Lake City hospital undergoing rehabilitation. Elder Bradley Hall of Hibbard, Idaho, was shot in the back March 9 when he and his companion surprised two burglars who were sneaking into their room. The bullet lodged between two vertebrae, paralyzing the twenty-year-old elder from the waist down. The bullet was removed in Argentina, and Elder Hall was flown back to the United States for treatment. Three weeks later, he was still paralyzed, but undergoing rehabilitation and in good spirits, said his mother. The young elder is one of twelve children of Ronald and Helen Hall, and the fifth in his family to serve a mission.

    Latter-day Saint newsman Lee Roderick has been elected chairman of the board of the National Press Club, headquartered in Washington, D.C. Brother Roderick is Washington bureau chief for Scripps League newspapers. He is a member of the Potomac South Ward, Washington D.C. Stake.

    The director of the Church’s Independence Missouri Visitors’ Center and his wife were recently honored as “Good Neighbors of the Year” in the community. The president of the Citywide Neighboring Committee spoke of Elder Phillip V. and Sister Gwen J. Christensen as “special people whose lifestyle includes doing good things for those who live around you.” They have been active in neighborhood councils, the local chamber of commerce, the tourist bureau, and similar organizations.

    The Mormon Handicraft shop in Salt Lake City, which was to have been closed, has a new lease on life. Earlier, it was announced that the store would close March 15. But because of demand for its service and products, responsibility for the store’s operation was instead transferred to Deseret Book Company. The store will temporarily continue in operation at the same site. In addition, a smaller outlet will be opened in the Deseret Book store in a nearby shopping mall.

Music from the Friend

1. Said Samuel, “Within five years
A night will be as day,
And Baby Jesus will be born
In a land far, far away.”

2. Across the sea in Bethlehem,
Lord Jesus came to earth.
As Samuel had prophesied,
And angels sang His birth.

Hosanna! Hosanna!
Oh, let us gladly sing.
How blessed that our Lord was born;
Let earth receive her King.

Oak Park Armed Robbery Spree Intensifies – despite the handgun ban

Published by the LearnAboutGuns.com Author on January 8, 2009 at 12:23 pm
LearnAboutGuns.com > Gun Related News > Oak Park Armed Robbery Spree Intensifies – despite the handgun ban

As reported, armed robbers continue to plague Oak Park, IL, in spite of Oak Park’s ill-fated attempt to be “gun free“:

  • A man on the 700 block of North Taylor was approached by a criminal wearing a face mask, who displayed a black pistol. He ordered his victim to face his car, then reached in his pockets and took his wallet and car keys.
  • A robber, wearing a ski mask and a hoodie, while armed with a black pistol, confronted a citizen on the 1000 block of North Austin. The criminal grabbed the man’s arm and led him into an alley, where he stole his wallet.
  • A criminal in a hoodie assaulted a man in the alley behind the 800 block of Hayes, saying, “Don’t be a hero, give me everything you got.” The victim had his wallet and cell phone stolen.
  • A criminal wearing a hoodie, with his face masked except for his eyes, walked up to a man sitting in a van on the 900 block of North Taylor, and threatened him with a silver pistol, before stealing his wallet.
  • A criminal approached an Oak Park man as he unloaded groceries from his car on the 600 block of North Humphrey. The criminal pointed a silver pistol at the man, and said, “What ya got?” When the man’s wallet turned out to have nothing in it, the gunman handed it back and fled on foot.

Oak Park’s armed robberies increased by nearly 300% between 2007 and 2008, and 2009 is not off to a good start either.  The handgun ban has failed to prevent all of these armed robberies, as a criminal who is willing to commit a serious felony like armed robbery won’t care about violating Oak Park’s handgun ban.  Handgun bans have failed across the board, in larger cities such as the District of Columbia and Chicago, as well as smaller municipalities such as Oak Park.

Instead of preventing crime, handgun bans have ensured that Oak Park’s law abiding citizens are disarmed and vulnerable to home invaders and other violent criminals.  Citizens who have chosen to ignore the (likely unconstitutional) handgun ban and defend themselves against criminals have previously been charged with gun possession.  Other people who have carried a gun in Oak Park (in violation of state and local laws) have been able to defend themselves against armed robbers and a racist attacker, but must then fear legal consequences for carrying the gun that saved them from the violent criminals.  It is truly unjust for Oak Park to cut police protection as armed robberies increase, while simultaneously denying its citizens the ability to lawfully have a handgun for self defense.

Unfortunately, gun control advocates seem unwilling to admit that handgun bans and other gun control schemes just don’t work, and instead cling to long since disproven myths in order to justify their failed policies.  For the good of Oak Park’s residents, the handgun ban should be repealed.

Not The Best Time To Be Involved In A Car Accident

While there is never a good time to be involved in a car accident, as will be made abundantly clear, some times are definitely worse than others. As reported at nj.com:

A 2002 white Mercury Mountaineer rolled over into the center grass median and struck the guardrail on July 29, with police and emergency workers responding around 12:56 p.m. Driver Paulette Murray, 48, of Brooklyn, N.Y., told police she failed to control the SUV after another car cut her off, authorities said.

Yikes, a roll over.

Items that had been inside the car before the accident were scattered at the scene, and the package of marijuana, police said, was lying where EMS and troopers were walking around.

Marijuana? How much marijuana?

At the scene, troopers said they observed [passenger] Douglas-Dawkins attempting to cover a damaged cardboard box with a blanket. The box contained a large package of marijuana with fabric softener inside to mask the smell, State Police said.

A large package you say. How large? 57 pounds large! Like The Juice said, not the best time to have an accident. You can read more, and see photos of the SUV and the scene here.

From VDR Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The remote plugin (also called remote control plugin) extends the remote control possibilities of VDR. It's about a modular add on to VDR, which in particular makes use of the original IR receiver of the Hauppauge Nexus rev. 2.1/2.2 DVB card. Both, the old black and the new silver are supported. Furthermore every remote control that speaks RC-5 could be used.

Supported input devices

The following remote control devices are supported

  • linux input device driver (/dev/input/eventX, X=0,1,2,...)
    • built-in remote control port of the av7110-based DVB cards (aka full-featured cards), e.g. DVB-S Nexus (*)
    • remote control port of some budget cards, e.g. Nova-CI (**)
    • other input devices (not tested, please report success!)
    • See file FAQ for a list of cards which have been reported to work.
  • keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX
  • TCP connection (telnet)
  • LIRC

(*) supported by DVB and dvb-kernel
(**) supported by dvb-kernel only

Hardware requirements

See README file

Software requirements

See plugin installation

Parameter (short) Parameter (long) Description
-i DEV --input=DEV kernel input device (/dev/input/...)
-l DEV --lirc=DEV lirc device (default: /dev/lircd)
-p tcp:n --port=tcp:n listen on tcp port <n>
-t DEV --tty=DEV tty device
-T DEV --TTY=DEV tty device with OSD

Howto use the same card after each boot?

If you have 2 or more DVB cards with IR receiver, you have to make sure that the device name is persistent. To use the built-in remote control port of the av711x-based DVB card, make a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ called 51-vdr.rules (or anything you like) with the following line:

KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="DVB on-card IR receiver", SYMLINK="input/ir"

If your card is in /dev/input/event2, this makes a symlink /dev/input/ir -> /dev/input/event2. You can check the items to put in the rule simply by

udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/input/event2)

Now you can start vdr by

vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/ir"

The Arthur Conan Doyle Appreciation Society (3 stars)

Feel-good show mixing broad comedy strokes with narrative tomfoolery

The Arthur Conan Doyle Appreciation Society

Doyle is the father of arch-rationalist Sherlock Holmes yet he also believed fervently in the supernatural. Peepolykus play these two opposing worldviews against each other in a feel-good show that mixes broad comedy strokes with narrative tomfoolery and a little bit of chin-stroking, to delightful effect.

Written by Steven Canny and John Nicholson and performed as a three-hander by Nicholson, Javier Marzan and Gabriel Quigley (all excellent, Quigley’s harrassed academic is note-perfect) the action switches between the scripted play and enacted episodes from Doyle’s life and Sherlock’s adventures, with plenty of stock comedy tropes – slapstick, actors swapping roles, unrequited love – and enough knowing meta-narrative nods.

Holmes’ stock is undergoing a meteoric resurgence thanks to some high-profile screen adaptations and, while TACDAS benefits from some familiarity with Doyle’s output, prior knowlegde is not essential. Rather, the reality of Holmes and his creator is so fascinating that too much trivia can distract from Peepolykus’ comedy onslaught. Painting from a wide palette of comedic tricks, combined with engaging onstage chemistry, the result is immensely funny.

TACDAS is another attempt at a Christmassy show that isn’t a pantomime and isn’t for children. In a genre that’s usually all about delivering the warm, nondenominational fuzzies, the production’s treatment of the issue of charlatan mediums preying on the emotionally vulnerable seems discordant and threatens to derail the pacing.

This show is at its best – a hilarious, quirky, jubilant best – when the fun train is allowed to run full steam ahead without any pesky questions about deeper meaning.

Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, until Sat 22 Dec

The Arthur Conan Doyle Appreciation Society

Traverse Artistic Director teams up with physical comedy specialists Peepolykus and writers Steven Canny and John Nicholson to present a riotous Christmas show about the creator of Sherlock Holmes and the collision of spiritualism and rationalism.

Interview: Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong on Peep Show – 'Hopefully we haven’t left them too broken and destroyed'

David Mitchell and Robert Webb return for the final series of the point of view sitcom

TV Interview: Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong on Peep Show – 'Hopefully we haven’t left them too broken and destroyed.'

Not many comedies last nine series and even less stay as fresh and painfully funny as Peep Show, a quirky sitcom that literally got inside the head of Mark Corrigan (David Mitchell) and Jez Usborne (Robert Webb), an uncomfortable double act sharing a flat in in Croydon. First hitting our screens back in 2003, Peep Show is now officially the longest running comedy in Channel 4 history.

Peep Show was never a conventional sitcom, the most obvious stylistic aspect being the point of view shots that gave the viewer access to the uncensored private thoughts of the main characters. They were both equally flawed but in very different ways, Mark being socially awkward while Jez was outgoing and reckless. Writer/creator duo Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong were willing to take their show to far darker places than most comedies (witness the 'bad thing' in episode four of season one for a prime example).

However, all good things must end and Peep Show bows out with its ninth and final season. 'It takes us roughly nine months to write the show,' Bain explains. 'And we were desperate not to do a bad one. Doing a final series was a great impetus for us to really go into it and say “What could we do that we’d really like to end on”.'

'It felt like we’d been doing it for a long time, and eventually you need to say “This is the last one”,' adds Armstrong. 'And we thought it would be really inspiring to try and write a really, really good last series.'

Since Peep Show Bain and Armstrong have written several other darkly comic creations including Four Lions with Chris Morris, Babylon and student sitcom Fresh Meat (which also starts its final season this autumn). It was also the first major role for Olivia Colman, as Sophie Chapman the object of Mark's fumbling affections. Since then Colman has picked up multiple awards for Broadchurch, Tyrannosaur, The Iron Lady and Twenty Twelve. She's back for the last series of Peep Show alongside several old favourites. According to Armstrong: 'Dobby’s [Isy Suttie] back again, obviously, and Super Hans [Matt King], but there are a couple of others who show up who we’re not going to reveal. They’re fun plot points, so I think it’s more fun not to say.

Considering the car wreck that is often Mark and Jez's life, littered with failed relationships, ruined career prospects and petty squabbles, don't expect everyone to live happily ever after. 'I think we had to be faithful to what’s funny,' says Bain. 'In the final episode, we definitely didn’t go down the sentimental “let’s all have a nice time” route. We went for the funny option, and funny, nine times out of ten in Peep Show, means quite a lot of suffering and pain, because people who are happy aren’t that funny. So we never had much doubt about that. But then we thought about the final scene quite a lot. Hopefully we haven’t left them too broken and destroyed.'

Peep Show series nine airs on Channel 4, Wed 11 Nov at 10pm.

What I will miss most without water

Water is freedom. Water is fun. Water is waves. Water is me and you. Water is life.
Without water you could not love and feel. Without water you could never dance and learn. Losing water is like leaving behind your most prized possession, being abandoned by the person you love or living by yourself in an endless desert.
Without water you would feed on ashes and dirt; you would never shed tears of sadness or joy. You would never enjoy a glass of wine, nor will you taste fresh fruits. You could never admire the green Irish landscapes, the North Pole icebergs, USA’s great waterfalls, the rich Amazonian wildlife or the African savannas. You would forever feel dirty and hot. Your skin would be red as fire, hot as the sun and thick as leather. You would feel nothing except pain and experience only continuous degradation.
Water! I will mostly miss the thrill of being alive, the force of your waves and the light touch of you infinite drops of rain! I will miss my beloved ones laughs and smiles, the feel of blood pumping through my veins and the beauty of nature. I will miss your rugged sculptures carving deep within the cliffs and the marvelous sound of a mountain river.

    1. Very nice

      Reviewed: 01 April 2016 by Bunniebasher, a Straight Married Male

      Saw these and thought: yes, got to have a pair.

      Out of the packet, I thought it would be too tight, but happily it fits just right.

      Black shiny and smooth, very kinky, my wife liked me in them as well, might just have to get a few more pairs.

    2. Overall Rating:
      10 out of 10 stars
      Look, feel.
      Bottom line
      Comfortably kinky.

    1. Super comfy

      Reviewed: 04 March 2016 by RainbowBoy, a Gay Single Male

      This PVC thong is super comfy. Being a one size it's a little tight, but that just makes it feel even better. I thought it was going to be a little big as I'm a pretty small guy, but, to my surprise, they fit almost perfectly.

      This was my first purchase of sexy underwear, being a single male I brought these to spice up my personal sex life, and boy have they done that.

      I highly recommend you grab a pair and try them out you'll be surprised how sexy the will make you feel.

    2. Overall Rating:
      10 out of 10 stars
      Super comfy, a little bit tight.
      Bottom line

    1. Fantastic Plastic

      Reviewed: 01 April 2015 by RolyB, a Straight Married Male

      I really ordered this just to see what is the attraction of PVC underwear. Now I know! They feel and look so good and give a nice sexy boost as soon as they are on.

      I wear them usually while I have a cock ring on and there is only just enough room for my bits, but a really nice, taught bulge is produced which is an attraction for my wife. We both love the shiny, slippery PVC and, like other reviewers, the thong does not stay on too long after her hands start sliding across the material.

      The fit and quality are impressive, especially as they are 'One Size Fits All'. My previous experiences with this type of sizing had me wondering who this guy All was.

      In conclusion, a fine product that looks and feels great at a very reasonable price.

    2. Overall Rating:
      10 out of 10 stars
      Feel, look, quality and price.
      Nothing. More colours would be nice.
      Bottom line
      A little kinky, but makes me feel so good.
