Six Year Old CONNIE TALBOT!!!

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: I'm exceedingly grateful to Steve Du Bos, a retired United States Army sergeant, and a fellow resident here at the Ol' Soldiers' Home, for alerting me to this phenomenon. Connie Talbot is only six years old, with her front teeth missing, and she's going to perform for the Queen of England! Click on this link to watch the video of her winning the BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT competition. Even I was in tears! Click on this link to watch the video of this six year old girl singing, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, as though she were an adult. At her official web site, you can watch a video of her performing, A CHILD IS BORN, backed up by a chorus of adults. Thank you.

Movie Critique: "THE INVASION"

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: Normally, I can't stand watching remakes of classic movies. They're never as good as the original. However, I just now watched THE INVASION, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. It's a remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, made in 1956, and this movie is really good, even better than the original! I don't want to ruin this show for you by giving anything away, but trust me, it's a perfect "guy" movie. It is an edge of your seat suspense movie with plenty of violent gruesome action, and you never know what's going to happen next, as every scene is filled with surprise twists. The star of the show is Nicole Kidman, and she doesn't need to do any acting or speak any lines. All she has to do is look stunningly gorgeous, with those bodacious curves and her baby blue eyes. This movie really was a surprise, for I was expecting to be bored and disappointed as I compared it to the original Hollywood classic. So, gather 'round the family, order some pizza, and turn down the lights. Pass the popcorn, please. Thank you.

Movie Alert: "CORALINE"

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: I just learned of a brand new major Hollywood motion picture production, CORALINE, which will debut in theatres Friday 06 February 2009. At her web site, Debbie Schlussel, indicates this is one of the best movies of the year. However, she's prohibited from publishing her complete review of the film until after it debuts. Anyway, when I watched the trailer, the beginning sounded very much like parts from a children's novel, THROUGH THE SMALL DOOR, written by my sister, Suzy Serig, in Windsor, Virginia. I wonder if she's aware of this? According to the Internet Movie Data Base, the book, CORALINE, was written by Neil Gaiman, who lives in England. Oops! I just looked at the publishing dates of both books. His book was published in 2002, and her book was published in 2006. So, I reckon he wins, huh? Thank you.

Letter To DESERET NEWS

Editor: On this day, the Nineteenth of January, when I prefer to observe the birthday of General Robert Edward Lee, I notice that every form of mass media, to include the DESERET NEWS, is heavily engaged in the obligatory political correctness of adulating Martin Luther King, Jr., along with ridiculous public idolizing of Barack Hussein Obama. Did it ever occur to you that some of your readers might have an opposite opinion? For many years now, in open defiance of the Constitution of the United States, we've seen the increasingly tyrannical iron heel of federally mandated racial quotas, racial preferences, and legalized miscegenation being forced upon our contemporary society. Along with the racial antagonism, we also have legalized homosexuality menacing traditional families. Anyone daring to object is subjected to universal vilification and mockery, with their arguments stifled. Sadly, this silently passive acquiescence to the incroachment of evil perversion has become evident even among my fellow members within my chosen faith, The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, as "politically correct" terminology can now be regularly seen throughout Church publications. The recent presidential election was obviously rigged, with the Republican Party apparently involved in a clandestine deal with the Democrat Party, giving us nought but a figurehead President having absolutely no experience, with questionable eligibility. Thus, we have reached the point where violent revolution is our only recourse. Of course, such an action is currently impractical, since our government possesses the technology to observe every single form of private communication, and can surreptitiously monitor the movements and actions of each individual. Yes, since I'm advocating an eventual violent armed revolt to seize our government, I'm well aware that this letter to the editor will be read by government agents, and I'm quite sure they are watching me, to see what I will do. (Subsisting on a low fixed income, I sure can't do very much!) The prophet Joseph Smith warned us of these days, when the economy would completely collapse, causing our government to cease functioning, resulting in general anarchy. Therein lies our opportunity. When the economy collapses (which it may already have), then the advanced "big brother" technology used by government will no longer be effective. That is our one big chance, probably our only chance, to restore our Constitution of the United States, our republic, and our inalienable rights. So, the question remains, who of us is willing to, at that time, take up arms and forcefully seize the government? As the collapse of the economy will bring everything to a standstill, how do we recruit a rebel army? How do we communicate, organize, and mobilize resources? I'm in no physical condition to do any of the things I'm advocating, but it still must be done, for it is the only way to restore and preserve our republic. So, who will be our modern day Moroni? Thank you.

Attention: Females

Females: As a result of a class action lawsuit, i.e., Azizian, et alii versus Federated Department Stores, Incorporated, et alii, beginning on Tuesday 20 January 2009, for a period of one week, selected stores will be giving away twenty-five dollars worth of cosmetics to each customer, on a first come, first served basis, for as long as supplies last. No receipt or proof of prior purchase is required. Any cosmetics not given away on that day will be donated to charity. Here is a list of the stores where the cosmetics will be given away: Bergdorf Goodman, Bergner's, Bloomingdale's, Boston Store, Carson Pirie Scott, Dillard's, Gottschalks, Herberger's, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Parisian, Saks Fifth Avenue, Younkers I'm guessing the anticipated female riots will be shown on television later that evening. Have fun, y'all! Hmmm - - - maybe this is also a chance for us guys to get gifts for our wives, girlfriends, and female relatives? Thank you.

SOLDIERS' HOME UPDATE

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: According to the Weatherbug program on my computer's desktop, the temperature is currently ZERO degrees Fahrenheit. For quite a while now, I've been complaining that my room was too hot, even with both of my fans going full blast, the thermostat turned all the way down, and the heat switch turned off. But, right now, I'm feeling the chill. I've finally turned on my heat, and turned the thermostat up as high as it can go. This building wasn't designed for extremely cold temperatures, so that's why I'm feeling the chill, when normally, I wouldn't. The windows in this building are single pane, whereas, folks who live out West, where they are used to cold weather, customarily build their homes with double paned windows. I wonder why the high mucky mucks who spend many millions of dollars to erect buildings in the District of Columbia don't bother to seek advice from someone like myself? I'm much more fortunate than most of the other guys living here at the Ol' Soldiers' Home. In spite of the cold, I have a good supply of groceries stockpiled, plus a refrigerator and a microwave oven. So, I can keep warm by eating nice hot meals or snacking on spicy hot burritos, rice and weiners, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, pickled sausages, popcorn, and chocolate candy. Yes, I'm fat, but I'm comfortable. When I crawl in the sack, I have two very warm blankets on top of me. When I'm lounging in my rocker recliner and watching television, I've got nice warm slippers on my feet and a favorite turtleneck shirt keeping me warm. I wonder how others are dealing with this unusual cold weather? A mortician once told me that whenever the weather suddenly changes, such as now, the funeral business has a sudden increase, because folks who are elderly and in frail health, frequently can not survive the shock of a drastic shift in temperature. This exceedingly cold weather has me wondering about that Hollywood motion picture production, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Do you remember that movie? It was about how global warming actually leads to an ice age, because the melting of polar ice results in the Gulf Stream changing course. It's based on the book, THE COMING GLOBAL SUPERSTORM, by Art Bell and Whitley Strieber. Well, even as I'm typing this, it's now breakfast time down in our mess hall, and on Saturdays, they serve cream of wheat, which I just love. But, as long as I still have some goodies inside my room, I ain't going near that mess hall. That's because there's currently a serious threat from Norovirus infection and rhinovirus contagion. We have that problem in our mess hall because the administrative staff permits residents who use walkers, wheel chairs, and BPVs to go through the regular chow line, instead of requiring them to sit at the table and be waited on. Folks who are incapacitated aren't able to insure personal hygiene, so that's why there's such a problem with contagious infections. Not only that, but they create a safety hazard by blocking the aisles with their BPVs, walkers, and wheel chairs. In preparation for Inauguration Day, a regular United States Army combat unit is now camped here at the Soldiers' Home, acting as a quick reaction force in case of trouble downtown. It should warm up over the weekend, so maybe I'll wander down there later on and visit with the soldiers. For a couple of months now, there's been two (02) United States Army air defense radars permanently mounted on the roof of the Scott Building. That's kind of interesting, walking across the campus and seeing those Army radars, one of which is always operational, while the other stands by in reserve. Occasionally, we see one or two of the soldiers who operate the radars, usually when they come to our mess hall for chow, or shop in our PX, but generally, they keep out of sight. I reckon they've got some shoulder fired "Stinger" anti-aircraft missiles handy, otherwise, why the radars, but that's just a guess. I had planned to spend Inauguration Day hiding inside my room, but now, I think I'll probably wander over to our Amateur Radio Club, station AF3RH, to help monitor the radios, in case there's some sort of emergency. Monday 19 January 2009 is a federal holiday, when I celebrate the birthday of General Robert Edward Lee, and it is also known as Confederate Heroes Day in Texas and Arkansas. On Wednesday 21 January 2009, we honor another American hero, General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. I wonder how my kinfolk are doing in this cold weather? I count myself fortunate that I have kinfolk. Imagine the loneliness of those who have no one to communicate with or share their life with? Do you know of any homeless people stuck outside in this cold weather? I remember when I lived on the streets that a public homeless shelter was one of the worst places to go. Like any politically correct government operated entity, a homeless shelter makes certain that everyone is unarmed and helpless. In such an environment, the law of the jungle takes over, as the strong prey upon the weak, and the many prey upon the few. That's why disarming citizens is so immoral and contrary to the commandments of Jesus Christ. "Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." Luke 22:36 If you know somebody that's homeless and destitute (and I've personally "been there, done that"), they could sure use a hot meaty meal, if you're feeling charitable. As I sit here typing, I'm hearing another ambulance being dispatched to the Soldiers' Home, to pick up somebody in this, the Sheridan, building. I listen to the calls on my Kenwood TR-2500 hand held two meter FM band amateur radio. Because I'm in a poor location, I'm unable to pick up many of the radio transmissions on the Security Office channel, but I do get some of them. When I'm sleeping, I frequently dream that I'm once again a soldier in the United States Army. But, when I wake up, the shocking realization hits me that I'm too old, and I'll never again wear that Army uniform, collect that Army pay, and serve my country risking unknown danger in some exotic distant foreign clime. I can't begin to describe how utterly depressing that feels. You know, I sure do complain a lot about deteriorating conditions here at the Ol' Soldiers' Home, and those complaints are legitimate. But, with the economy collapsing, and millions of my fellow Americans losing their life savings, retirement pensions, homes, and businesses, and with so many millions of folks losing their jobs, I reckon I'm really quite well off. After all, I've got my monthly disability pension from Social Security, my monthly compensation from the Veterans Administration, and I'm living in the Ol' Soldiers' Home, with a private fully furnished room. I lack for nothing, and haven't a worry in the World, except for wondering about the future of our United States of America. That certainly doesn't look good. Quite frankly, once the economy has completely collapsed, and government agencies cease to function, I look for a bloodbath in our streets. On the other hand, that could be a very positive thing, for it presents the Sons of Liberty with an opportunity to forcefully restore our republic, our divinely inspired Constitution of the United States, inalienable rights of the individual, Jesus Christ as the God of this land, and free enterprise. That's just about everything I can think of right now. I'll write again when I think there's something worthwhile to write about, and I ain't too depressed to make any effort. Thank you.

Life On Mars

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: Did you watch the press conference at the NASA-TV web site? I sure did, and I called everybody I could think of to alert them to this press conference! Here are a couple of web sites where you can view this historic presentation: NASA-TV THE SUN But, when I turned on my television, I didn't see any news coverage of this event at all. They are discussing it on the COAST TO COAST AM radio program, which I'm listening to on the Internet, as it is broadcast from Toronto, Ontario, Canada on radio station CFMJ-AM 640. What could be a bigger breaking news story than the discovery of scientific evidence indicating life on another planet? When I turned on my television and tuned in to CNN or Fox News, I didn't see anything but the usual mindless gushing over Barack Hussein Obama. Well, there was news coverage of that plane crash in New York. That was pretty miraculous! But, why was there no mention of Mars? I don't get it. Did you see any mainstream news coverage of this momentous story? The only places I've seen it was on the DRUDGE REPORT web site and at the THE SUN web site. Thank you.

Citizen's Briefing Book

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: You can write about your ideas on what you deem to be the most important topic(s) in a CITIZEN'S BRIEFING BOOK, which will be presented to Barack Hussein Obama after he is inaugurated as our President of the United States of America. You can also vote on other topics that have already been written, or make comments. At that web site, I commented on someone else's post about the need to bring back the Constitution of the United States. I originally learned of this web site when listening to an Internet broadcast of the COAST TO COAST AM radio program, being aired on station CFMJ-AM 640 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They are urging listeners to use the CITIZEN'S BRIEFING BOOK web site to demand full accountability about UFOs, ETs, and other assorted unexplained phenomena. When you go to the web site, you'll need to register and sign in before you can make a suggestion, comment on a topic, or vote on someone else's topic. Maybe it's all for nothing, but it could be a genuine opportunity for us to express our ideas to the newly elected President. What do you think? Shall we give it a go? Thank you.

Photo of LDS Missionaries

Brothers and Sisters: Attached to this e-mail is a photograph, in JPEG format, of Elder Montoya, from Hermosillo, Mexico, and Elder Frizzell, from Murrieta, California, missionaries in The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, visiting me in my room here at the Ol' Soldiers' Home on Monday 12 January 2009. Be sure and click on the photograph to view it full sized. I had ordered plenty of pizza and chicken from Domino's, plus I had bottles of ice cold root beer in my refrigerator. However, the two missionaries had just come from a zone meeting, where they'd already been fed, so they weren't that interested in food and drink. We watched a Church movie, THE TESTAMENTS OF ONE FOLD AND ONE SHEPHERD, and then it was time for them to go, as they had a proselyting appointment to keep. With so much pizza and chicken left over, I decided to keep one pizza and one box of chicken for myself, and let the missionaries take the rest home with them. Because there was so much pizza and chicken, and because they were using bicycles, I offered to take them home in my pickup truck, which they accepted. They reside in The Cloisters apartment complex, just a block or two West of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, on the campus of Catholic University of America. Thank you.

Movie Critique: "RAILS & TIES"

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: Those of you who know me can verify that I am a fanatic about railroad trains, whether I'm merely watching them, or actually riding them. So, imagine my reaction as I've just finished watching a movie on my cable television, RAILS & TIES, made in 2007, starring Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden. It's about a railroad locomotive engineer who's involved in a fatal accident, his terminally ill wife, and an eleven year old boy. I ain't gonna tell you anything else, because I don't want to ruin the story for you. Just click on the automatic Internet link I provided, and you can access the movie's web site. The acting is really grrrrr-REAT!!! (Having performed in community theatre productions, I know a little bit about the differences between good acting and bad acting.) What is really interesting is that Alison Eastwood directed this movie, and Kyle Eastwood composed the music. There might be some instances of profanity, but I really can't remember. There is one scene where Marcia Gay Harden removes her blouse, revealing the surgical scar of a mastectomy. If she doesn't have breast cancer in real life, then the make-up artist did a fantastic job! Maybe they do that with computers? (A friend of mine, a man, died from that very same cancer, which progressed the very same way, i.e., beginning in the breast and spreading to the bones - - - and YES!!! - - - men DO get breast cancer - - - and DIE from it!) Other than those caveats, yes, I do recommend this movie for families, especially since it's about a family. If you like railroad trains, you'll love this movie. But, as I've always cautioned in every movie review I write, Momma and Daddy should BOTH always watch movies WITH their children, so questions can be answered and moral guidance can be given on the spot. So, have a pizza delivered, pile up on the sofa, and turn down the lights. It's family night! Pass the popcorn, please. Thank you.

AOL Phone Number Cancellation

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space: I just now received an e-mail from America On Line indicating free Voice Mail telephone service will be terminated on Tuesday 13 January 2009. At that time, you will no longer be able to call me at that number. If I've provided you with the number, you may still call me on my cellular telephone. You can't leave voice messages on my prepaid cell phone, but it does indicate who called, so I can call back. The advantage of using the telephone number assigned to me by America On Line was that, using my computer's speakers and microphone, I could receive and answer telephone calls on my computer, just like on a regular telephone, but it was all free. By using the computer instead of the cellular telephone, I could save the minutes used on my cell phone, making them last longer. The only disadvantage, since it was free, I could only receive telephone calls, and was unable to use my computer to call anyone else, unless I was willing to purchase a premium subscription service. I'm guessing that America On Line is experiencing financial difficulties, causing it to reduce services. I've been expecting this. In fact, I suspect that future access to many web sites and services on the Internet will suddenly cease being free, thus forcing a drastic curtailment in user activity. So, call me right NOW, because you can't call me after next week! Mox nix. (If you were ever an American G.I. stationed in Germany, then you recognize that phrase.) Thank you.

DEPUTY SHERIFF JOHN DEHART

DAGGETT SHERIFF'S DEPUTY IS LAID TO REST
By Geoff Liesik

DESERET NEWS

Published: Sunday 04 January 2009

DUTCH JOHN, Daggett County, Utah

Law enforcement officers from around the Uintah Basin and neighboring Wyoming joined with this small community Saturday to say goodbye to Daggett County sheriff's deputy John DeHart.
 

 

Deputy Sheriff John DeHart, sixty-one years old, died at his home Monday from complications of esophageal cancer.

He was diagnosed in August with the disease, which was already in the advanced stages.

"He made a trip to the hospital because he couldn't swallow.

That was his first real big indication that something was wrong", said Daggett County Sheriff Rick Ellsworth before Saturday's memorial service.

"The doctors told him he'd probably had (cancer) for eight or nine years for it to be at the stage that it was at."

Sheriff Ellsworth said Deputy DeHart loved his job and the community he had served for nearly eleven years.

He said Deputy DeHart brought a calming influence to every situation he was involved in.

"He was steady and low-key", the sheriff said.

"He could defuse problems really fast."

Deputy DeHart served in the United States Air Force as a jet engine mechanic during the Vietnam era.

Later he worked as a security officer at the Tooele Army Depot for close to a decade, serving as a member of the base's Special Weapons And Tactics team.

Deputy DeHart's son, Ryan Sagers, said his father was a model of perseverance.

During a training exercise at the Army depot, John DeHart was severely injured in a truck crash.

He never fully recovered from the accident or a later incident where he suffered neck injuries after being hit in the head by a piece of heavy equipment during a construction job.

Instead of slowing down, John DeHart decided to join the sheriff's office after he and his wife moved to Daggett County.

Ryan Sagers said his father's only obstacle to becoming certified as a peace officer in Utah was passing the running portion of the physical fitness test.

"His knee and his other injuries had never fully healed. The pain was just absolutely excruciating", Ryan Sagers said.

"He tucked away the pain, he passed his test, and achieved the goal that meant so much to him. 

Most people who associated with him were never aware of the pain he was in."

John DeHart was also a compassionate man, Ryan Sagers said.

He remembered his father's affinity for offering help to the "neglected" kids in the neighborhood or befriending "people who the average person would avoid associating with."

"Everyone felt they were welcome in his home, regardless of their station in life", Ryan Sagers said.

"He explained it to me in a way that a child can understand: 'You don't need to be friends with them, but you do need to be friendly to them.'"

Following the memorial service, the hearse carrying Deputy DeHart was escorted by a procession of law enforcement and emergency vehicles for the ninety-six mile journey through Daggett, Uintah, and Duchesne counties to the Altamont Town Cemetery.

Two columns of deputies, officers, troopers and emergency medical technicians saluted Deputy DeHart's flag-draped casket as it was carried to the grave site.
                                        


An American Legion honor guard provided a twenty-one gun salute.

Then a dispatcher's voice crackled from the hand-held radios of those assembled to announce the end of watch for DELTA SEVEN before the solemn notes of taps began to echo across the frigid cemetery.

"Greetings:

I was stunned to turn on my computer and read of the passing of John DeHart!

At first, I wondered if it could be the same guy?

But, as I read more details, there was no mistake.

John DeHart and I used to work together on the graveyard shift at Tooele Army Depot.

We both lived in West Valley, and would car pool together to and from work.

We were both LDS, and I've visited him and his family in their home.

I remember when he was so badly injured in that horrible midnight crash.

I thought he'd never be able to work again.

The last time I spoke with him, we were both in the waiting room at the VA Hospital in Salt Lake.

My, how the years fly by!

I can imagine how pleased he was to become a deputy sheriff in Daggett County!

What an achievement!

He has such a beautiful family.

By now, I reckon he's got grandkids.

I offer my sympathy and condolences to his loved ones.

Rest in peace, old friend."

"I just read the article about this kind gentleman.
He sounded as if he was a very stoic man and a most kind one as well.
The comment that stood out as I read about him is the one he taught his son about friends.
'You don't need to be friends with them, but you do need to be friendly to them.'
What a wonderful lesson that is applicable for all of us.
I will put that bit of advice in the forefront of my memory and will use it often.
Thank you for sharing that.
Condolences to the family."

"John was an incredible man.
John, Noreen, and the kids are wonderful people.
As an ex-sister-in-law, John was a hero to me and my sons.
He was a good and gentle man who did care about everyone around him.
He opened his heart to my family even beyond my marriage to Noreen's brother.
His son, Ryan's eulogy was a true tribute to this man who followed Christ and his example.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Noreen, the kids, and grandkids."
