The Federalist No. 7

by Allison Jones

17 November 1787, Alexander Hamilton continues the argument for union from safety.  This paper addresses the reasons the states, if separate, would have for going to war with each other.  They are “precisely the same inducements, which have, at different times, deluged in blood all the nations in the world.”

Analyzing for Forgery

By Allison Jones

Leap of Faith by Bob Bennett, US Senator from Utah, takes a look at the Book of Mormon from the perspective of someone who has dealt with forgeries before.  While not a scholar himself, Bennett says he is still capable of “weighing the arguments of those who are.”

In the beginning Bennett goes over some forgery cases that he has intimate knowledge of and how it was discovered that the documents were fake.  From these case studies seven traits of or clues left in forgeries are derived.

The Federalist No. 5

by Allison Jones

In the 10 November 1787 paper, John Jay continues the argument that “weakness and divisions at home, would invite dangers from abroad; and that nothing would tend more to secure us from them than Union, strength, and good Government within ourselves.”

This paper; however, focuses on the examples from history instead of theory.

Paparazzi Ribbon Cutting Press Release

Rexburg, IDAHO— Paparazzi will be having a ribbon cutting Wednesday May 9, 2012 in the Chamber Conference Room at 10:30 am.

Paparazzi Accessories started in 2008 with one lady and her dream of selling jewelry and fashion accessories and grew into the direct sales company it is today. Starting just before one of the biggest crashes on Wall Street and the worst recession in the USA since the great depression, Paparazzi not only survived but grew rapidly. When friends and family began to lose jobs, homes, and retirement pensions Paparazzi became a way to help them earn money to “pay the bills.” Paparazzi has never pushed or encouraged people to become consultants. The product itself and the exciting opportunity it provides are all that has been needed to spark a desire in people to become involved and share with their friends and family. As the success of our first consultants increased and their enthusiasm for the product grew, a push to expand the business began. Having never been involved in the direct sales industry, Paparazzi wanted to see if this opportunity was for the masses. Within six months, Paparazzi had grown by over 900 percent. This growth continues today, as people decide the American dream is for them, and not just the lucky few.

I sell necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, headbands, and hair clips for $5 as well as little girl earrings, bracelets, and rings for $1 and $2 each. There is something for everyone and affordable on any budget. I mostly do home parties which are held open house style, as well as doing events like craft fairs. Every party, event, and consultant has something new and different to offer so you aren’t seeing the same thing every time. I love working for this company and the freedom and opportunities it has opened up for me and my family.

"We cannot allow such callousness to continue unremarked, from the irrational, senseless teenagers who attacked two people just trying to go home, from the police officer whose conduct may have been typical but certainly seems cold, from the tweeting nitwits who think beating a man in Norfolk will change the death of Trayvon Martin."
