			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.lds.org/newsroom/extra/0,15505,3881-1---1-963,00.html">First Presidency issued a letter</a> for saints in America to &#8220;express themselves on this urgent matter to their elected representatives in the Senate.&#8221; </p>
<p>I probably would have forgotten to do so, but thanks to a friend who fowarded me the contact information for the senators in my state, I followed through.</p>
<p>I would just like to encourage anyone who reads this to express themselves to the state senators. Also, may I suggest that once you have done so, you may forward your state senators contact information on to friends and family to make it easier for them to do the same.</p>
<p>Below is the letter I wrote, in case you want/need ideas to get you started with the letter. It shouldn&#8217;t be too difficult to &#8220;express yourself&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>Senator [Senator's Surname],</p>
<p>I am writing to express my feelings about the upcoming vote on June 6, to amend the federal constitution to protect the traditional institution of marriage.</p>
<p>While I understand the desire some same-gender couples have to express their love publicly and have laws in their favor as couples, marriage has always been between man and wife, and should always be between man and wife. If a same gender couple wants to be â€œboundâ€ in some way, let them call it something else because it is not marriage.</p>
<p>Our society is built on the family unit. I believe that the best way to strengthen our country is to strengthen and promote families. Protecting â€œmarriageâ€ will only serve this purpose.</p>
<p>Please vote in favor to amend the constitution to protect the traditional institution of marriage.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Dustin Davis<br />
Taylorsville, Utah</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just purchased a Dell Axim X3i on Ebay. I decided to find out some more info after the fact. I came across this review on brighthand. The reviewer appears to be LDS <img src='http://www.latterdayblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  How do I know? Check out the Switcher Bar screenshot!<br />
<span id="more-11"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.brighthand.com/article/Dell_Axim_X3i_Review">Brighthand %u2014 Brighthand Reviews the Dell Axim X3i</a><br />
Switcher Bar Though Microsoft has ironed a lot of the minor inconveniences out of Windows Mobile 2003, there are still a few that continue to irritate users. The most notable of these is the fact that tapping on the X in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen doesn&#8217;t actually close an application, as it does in Windows. Instead, it is minimized and continues to run in the background, using up system resources. You can manually close apps but it is way more complicated than it ought to be.</p>
<p>Therefore Dell has been kind enough to include on the X3i a handy application called Switcher Bar. This puts a small icon at the top of the screen that, when tapped on, displays a list of all running applications. This allows you to switch between them or, even better, quickly shut them down.</p>
<p>Of course, Switcher Bar isn&#8217;t the only application that does this but it&#8217;s nice that Dell went ahead and bundled it with this Pocket PC.</p>
