Titles, Rank, Presti

theSam!! says: I found this story online. And it's sad.. *lifts head and eats* to see that a true Alaskan cultural icon like this has to FALL by the wayside. And ann... *lifts head and eats* I see these items in stores all over the place too. We even got one. But the niftiest thing was theCollapsible Alaskan Outhouse. It was like,,, a puzzle. And you'd assemble it and stand it up. Then an unsuspecting person (preferably someone that ISN'T Alaskan) comes along and see the cute curio and grabs the tiny Outhouse door to peek inside and...... *Crash!!* ...the whole set up collapses. Anyway, on with theMoose story. I mean... *lifts head and eats* at the height of this guys success. which for a REAL Moose would be about 5.4feet considering that the...the.. you know..

Institute Director Resigns from the Mormon church

SHOOTING THE MESSENGER By Ken Clark I need to admit up right away that I’m a little bitter. I feel lied to and used.

But Cox pleaded no contest to the murder charge before the case went to a jury. Cox's attorney, Susan Carney, maintains that Cox drew his .22-caliber handgun and began firing because he thought Titus, who was accompanied by six or seven other young men, had planned to rob him. Prosecutor Jeff O'Bryant said that Cox meant to kill Titus in an act of bravado. A tattoo on one of Cox's forearms s...
