Why hasn’t the press spoke about the racist teachings of the FLDS? Could it be that it’s because the whole Mormon Religion is guilty of racism? Why haven’t we heard about the Mormons teachings on Blacks? Warren Jeffs might have expounded on them but they are still at the heart of The Later Day Saints teachings! Here is an artcle posted on the Rick Ross website… FLDS added to list of hate groups Salt Lake Tribune/April 21, 2005 By Pamela Manson Comments by the leader of a Utah-based polyga

The plan was to get up early and scoot over to Newport News to the Casey Crit so Ellie could race Juniors, then I’d race 40+. That way we’d be back in Norfolk in time for her 2:15 p.m. soccer game. But the rain Sunday morning changed both out minds. Ellie didn’t want to race in the wet again. I didn’t want to race on that course when it was wet.

I've been suffering from this for as long as I can remember.... It cost £550,000 and was supposed to usher in a new era for the BBC.

Others criticised the makeover, which features a swirling red globe in the title sequences, as "a colossal waste" of licence-fee payers' money. Rest here>>> ZIP

My friend Andi Arndt emails with news of a new site you might want to check out. It’s called Casting Notes and is still in beta. A quick look around suggests it’s weighted to the on-camera and stage sides of the acting equations. No big surprise there, because there are so many more actors in those categories.
