I just found out that Terry Tate is a fictional character ! He never played for the NFL at all! Tate's real name is Lester Speight . He played a stint of division 1 college football in the 80's, but then turned Pro Wrestler, and then turned actor . His work is featured in famous movies, TV shows, and even video games. Regardless of him being a fictional character, he is still one of my favorite football players of all time. Here is a clip (edited for language) of his debut appearance at Filtcher & Sons, Inc. (There were 9 clips made in total.)

I'm surprised no one has told The Mustard story yet. I'll do my best to do it justice, but I expect you all to correct me or add details when I get the story wrong. I will correct the blog entry as need be. This is the way I remember Mom and Dad's classic FHE lesson: PROLOGUE: There was a problem in the family with individuals rebelling against what the parental units had planned for our family. It could have been me; I remember being threatened with the consequence of not going to the zoo with the rest of the family if I didn't finish eating my sandwich. (I don't recall whether I was allowed to "finish it in the car" or whether I was left at home for hours.) At any rate, it was clear that we needed a lesson on how our personal actions affected the rest of the family. THE LESSON: It was an emotionally charged FHE. Dad informed us with a smile that we would have an EXTRA special treat that night. We would either rush through the FHE lesson...

This is a richly symbolic photo. You decide what it is symbolic of exactly: a. The supernatural-like abilities that both possess. One for inciting revolutions, and the other for squelching them. b. My need to control my own most valuable resource: ________ . c. They both have [natural] beautiful, blue eyes. The spice , in this case, refers to the genes that run in the family. d. All of the above. *If you haven't seen the movie Dune , or its sequel, Children of Dune , I recommend watching them when you are sick at home.

* See India's 9/11 for more on what's going on in Pakistan. President Bush went to a school to interact with the children. After a brief talk with the children he asked them if they had any question to ask him. One boy raised his hand and stood up; Bush: what's your name John: john Bush: whats your question? John: Sir, I have three questions 1) Why did America attack Iraq without the approval of UNO? 2) Where is Osama? 3) Why does America support Pakistan so much? Bush: you are an intelligent student John....(just then the bell for recess rang) Oh dear students--we will continue after the recess is over. [After the recess] Bush: ok children where were we? Yes, so anybody wants to ask any question? Samantha raises her hand Bush : What;s your name? Samantha : Sir, I am Samantha. I have 5 questions. 1) Why did America attack Iraq without the approval of UNO? 2) Where is Osama? 3) Why do America support Pakistan so much? 4) Why did recess bell rang 20 mins before the schedule...

DREAM  There once lived a mysterious hermit who turned out to be a magician. His tragic purpose was to prevent evil from happening, but at a great cost--the lives of those who helped him. This fabled wizard was said to hold great healing powers. Young people often went in search of the wizard to help them a cure for some kind medieval malady that they contracted. (BTW, we are set in the 16th century, Redmond.)Smallpox, Collera, abortions, and unknown diseases were common reasons of misadventurers to attempt to find him. Some just went for the thrill of it. The myth remained alive over the years because every once in a great while, kids who went in search of him, never returned... This is the story of my involvement with him. One day, near Christmas, I attended a stake choir festival for young adults. This didn't seem to be just any ordinary choir concert. The city pulled out all the stops! There were imported organs, professional sound and lighting, and the most e...

News Report via NYT Source . Photos via getwonder.com . (Warning: Some images are graphic.) Pakistani Elect - Victims or Secret Supporters? Pakistan's president claims that the Mumbai, India attacks were directed not only at India, but also at the peace process. [We are no to blame! We are victims too! Please continue sending us money Barak!] President Zardari of Pakistani is kinda shady. We've seen this kind of empty apology during peace talks many times before. Frankly, I don't like him. I know he was democratically elected, but still, that doesn't mean that he is above corruption. Zardari seems typical of the Middle Eastern political scene - corrupt to the core and trying to put a nice sorry face to the West so they can continue to get the Billions of dollars in aid to be siphoned off to some Swiss account. Nevertheless, I feel like it is important to support the democratically elected government in Pakistan and not erroneously and somewhat irresp...

3 Nephi 13:19  states: "No man can serve two masters; for either he will  love  the one and  hate  the other, or else he will  hold to  the one and  despise  the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." In this LDS scripture mastery verse, Jesus of Nazareth is teaching his gospel to the Nephites just as he did with the Jews in Matthew 6. After some analytical interpretation of this verse, it was impressed upon me that even though we may reject God at certain times or in certain aspects of our lives, God will never stop reaching out to his children in love. The Savior seems to repeat himself in the middle part of the verse. Or he is trying to communicate two separate ideas. In the first phrase, the Savior refers to "[loving] the one and [hating] the other". I believe "the one", in this case, refers to God while "the other" implies Satan. I understand the scripture this way because the emotions described therein can be felt recipro...
