Cee Lo Green Reportedly Tweets Controversial Comments About Rapeby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Just days after pleading no contest to slipping a woman Ecstasy in 2012, Cee Lo Green took to Twitter to discuss his case and make some seriously controversial comments about rape — including that "people who have really been raped remember."
Though he has since deleted all of the tweets, the 'Voice' judge apparently went on an intense Twitter rant, in which he tweeted things like "People who have been really been raped REMEMBER!!!" and "If someone is passed out they're not even WITH you consciously! So WITH implies consent!"
Green also compared rape to a home invasion, saying, "When someone brakes [sic] on a home there is broken glass where is your plausible proof anyone was raped."
Prosecutors chose not to press felony sexual assault charges, and Green's lawyer claims that relations between the artist and the woman were "consensual." For his part, Green maintains that his "no contest" plea does not mean he is guilty.
You can see some apparent screen grabs of some of Green's tweets below. Though the singer later apologized for his comments and deleted his Twitter, his account has since been revived — minus the controversial tweets.
Here, @CeeLoGreen puts the onus on rape victims to prove they were raped, describes women as objects, like a house. pic.twitter.com/IIf8A4vr3C
— Grumpy & Lumpy (@omgLSP) August 31, 2014
BuzzFeed reports that Green's apology tweets read as follows, though he has also deleted those as well:
"Let me 1st praise god for exoneration fairness & freedom! Secondly I sincerely apologize for my comments being taken so far out of context."
"I only intended on a healthy exchange to help heal those who love me from the pain I had already caused from this. Please forgive me as it.."
"…was your support that got me thru this to begin with. I'd never condone the harm of any women. Thank you."

Not the Danish ones; the one they tried to run on South Park. Reason magazine interviewed them about it this summer.
So the first question is, what's more terrifying, crossing Islam or crossing Scientology?
Trey Parker: They're really the same people.
This is what happened. I was on my honeymoon in Disney World. I turned on the television, and there were thousands of rioting Muslims, and the caption said, "Muslims enraged over cartoon." And I said, "Oh, shit. What did we do?"…
Reason: Are you secretly hoping that radical Islamists, who are not always the closest readers of texts, will actually think Family Guy ran an episode showing Muhammad?
Stone: Well, that's the other big joke. We really weren't that brave. If it did make it over to some obscure part of Pakistan, they'd be like, "Hey, we ought to kill the guys who did Family Guy."…
Stone: At some point I think we knew we were going to lose. We weren't going to get Muhammad on, so we were just going to make them feel really bad about it. I mean, we've been at an ACLU meeting where we gave Doug [Herzog, the president of Comedy Central,] an award for freedom of speech, and once you get an award for freedom of speech, you've got to step up to the plate.
He didn't, though. Here's how the episode turned out when it aired in March of this year.

Story highlights
- Voted "Cutest Couple" at Carmel High School: Dylan Meehan and Bradley Taylor
- For the school it "hasn't really been a big deal," says the principal
- "We didn't get any calls until someone posted it online," the principal adds
- A posting on Tumblr brought positive responses, says a friend of the couple
It's typical for high school students to encourage their classmates in competition with "you guys are going to win."
What makes it different in the case of Carmel, New York, High School seniors Dylan Meehan and Bradley Taylor is what they won: the superlative of "Cutest Couple," as highlighted in the school yearbook.
And until the news went viral, the decision, says Carmel Principal Kevin Carroll, "hasn't really been a big deal in the school."
"I thought at this stage as we are now, it shouldn't be a news event. All the reactions are coming from outside. The yearbooks were distributed Wednesday, and we didn't get any calls until someone posted it online," Carroll, whose school is about 65 miles north of New York City, told CNN Tuesday.
Taylor, 17, said he sees the honor as a great achievement and a turning point for their school.
"At first we weren't able to run because for the title, they were only allowed to pick a boy and a girl," he told CNN. "But a bunch of our friends made an uproar, and they changed it. So now you vote 'student one' and 'student two.' And I guess a lot of people voted for us and we won. So many people came up to us saying, 'You guys are going to win.'"
A mutual friend introduced the two last year during a Brown University visit. Later on, they started dating.
"I came out to my family a week or two after I started dating Brad," said Meehan, 18. "He was the one encouraging me to come out to them."
"I feel like both of our families always knew but I told my parents a month before we started dating," said Taylor.
Taylor's father, Robert Taylor, agreed with Carroll in saying that in this day, it should be no surprise that a gay couple won the "Cutest Couple" title.
"I think of it as any other normal day. He won. OK. Lots of people win 'Cutest Couple,'" said the elder Taylor.
"Back in the day it was different races being together, so for me it shouldn't be anything," Robert Taylor said. "He's very excited that he won."
Bradley Taylor, who has participated in plays at his school, and at a community theater, received a full scholarship to the New York University Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Meehan also will enroll at NYU's Gallatin in the fall.
Chelsea Blaney, another of their friends, posted their yearbook photo together on Tumblr and said she got resoundingly positive reactions.
"Two of my best friends won 'Cutest Couple' of our senior class," Blaney said on her Tumblr account. "First time in my school history a same-sex couple has even been able to run for this category, not to mention winning it. So proud of them, and my school."

How should I respond to a relative who claims that Christians continue to have visions from the Holy Spirit? He thinks that these visions are gifts from God and they enhance his worship.
Your relative clearly loves the Lord and wants to worship him. That said, he is, as you perceive, erring in his assumption that visions from the Holy Spirit continue to this day. I assume you want to try to help him understand God's Word more clearly on the subject, but I would caution you not to be harsh or to give the impression that he is being sinful in his thinking. I come from a charismatic background (about 35 years ago, though I did not attend a church at that time, nor did I know much about the Bible). He does love Jesus, but his head has not yet caught up with his heart.
What your relative wants, at the root, is to know that God does not change, that he will reveal himself to his people faithfully. He assumes that it must be the same way God revealed himself to the church in the past (e.g., Ananias in Acts 9:10ff). What he has not realized is that the Lord at that time had not given the whole of Scripture yet. Therefore there were certain things God needed to reveal in a special way. Furthermore, he does not understand that such things were given only to select individuals who moved his work of redemption in history forward (Ananias was to help Paul make progress into his service of Christ). Your task, therefore, is to show him these things from Scripture. Then, turn his attention to 2 Tim. 3:16 and 17 and help him to understand that he is a complete man of God if he has the Scriptures, and to Heb. 1:1-3 and help him to understand that Christ is God's final new revelation and that Christ speaks to us through Scripture, not visions. You might consider also showing him 1 Cor. 13:11 and encourage him to be a man of God who does not need the helps given a child, such helps as were given to the church in its childhood (visions, for example). He is to worship God in Spirit and in Truth (with all his heart, by the grace of the Spirit and in accordance with his Word of Truth). But then be sure to approach him in the Spirit of 1 Cor. 13 or you will only alienate him.
What if he does not listen or believe you? Then simply pray to God to give him more light and love him in the meantime.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

The end for ATV Johannes Kepler
Europe's unmanned ATV space freighter plunged on command into Earth's atmosphere today to end its mission as a spectacular shooting star over the southern Pacific Ocean. Contact with the spacecraft was lost at 20:41:39 GMT (22:41:39 CEST) at an altitude of 80 km.
After a flawless undocking from the International Space Station on Monday at 14:46 GMT (16:46 CEST), the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) flew solo while its mission control centre in Toulouse, France, prepared the craft for its fiery end.
There was one unplanned manoeuvre: dodging a piece of space debris about two hours after leaving the Station.
After a warning from NASA that an object would zip past to within 50 m, ATV-2 fired its thrusters briefly to move out of danger.
The tonne of propellant remaining in its tanks was plenty for the reentry manoeuvres and any contingencies. The ad hoc avoidance again demonstrated ATV's adaptability to changing situations.
Last moments of Johannes Kepler
Today, at 17:07 GMT (19:07 CEST), ATV fired its engines to enter an elliptical orbit leading to the second burn at 20:04 GMT (22:04 CEST), which precisely targeted its Pacific goal.
The first burn lasted for 10 min 9 sec and the second for 14 min and 9 sec.
Just before hitting the atmosphere, Johannes Kepler was commanded to begin tumbling to ensure it would disintegrate and burn up safely.
Surviving pieces such as the heavy docking adapter and main engines – designed to withstand extreme heat – struck the ocean at around 21h GMT (23h CEST). There were no hazardous materials aboard ATV.
The destructive reentry happened exactly as planned over an uninhabited area of the south Pacific, about 2500 km east of New Zealand, 6000 km west of Chile and 2500 km south of French Polynesia.
"The mission of ATV-2 has been very smooth and we have encountered during these four months only very minor issues that were quickly taken care of by our teams," said Nico Dettmann, Head of ESA's ATV Programme.
"ATV has shown again its capabilities in servicing the Station and we are looking forward to the next, Edoardo Amaldi, which will be shipped to Kourou in August for launch in early 2012."
"We broke many records with ATV-2," continued Alberto Novelli, Head of ESA's ATV Mission Operations.
"Not only was this the heaviest payload ever launched by ESA and the Ariane 5 rocket, but the ATV's engines also achieved the biggest boost for human spaceflight since the Apollo missions to the Moon: we raised the Space Station's orbit by more than 40 kilometres."
Reentry being analysed
ATV's last moments were recorded by a prototype 'black box' provided by the US Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies. A similar recorder was carried by Japan's HTV-2 ferry during its reentry on 28 March.
The small device collected information on acceleration, roll, pitch and yaw rates, temperatures and GPS coordinates.
It was then left to decend on its own, protected by its own heatshield, and transmit the stored data via the Iridium satphone system.
The information, when available, will help to predict what happens to space hardware as it reenters and comes apart under aerodynamic heating and loads.
This will help in designing future spacecraft to break up into less hazardous fragments on reentry.

**IMPORTANT UPDATE** (not really, but I enjoy making be-beep be-beep noises in my head around those words)
Oldest and Most Picturesque Building on Campus on a Sunny Day: The building must be made of stone and have some roman numerals (or anything in Latin, or even a quote by someone who signed the Constitution) on it. At least one tree and some very colorful flowers in full bloom are in front of the building. The grass in the foreground must be of PGA golf-course quality. The background needs some distant mountains (if unavailable: oceans, tall buildings, and/or a US flag can be substituted). The scene is so filled with sunlight you would think the earth is roughly 2 meters from the sun. (Never mind that this building is decrepit inside and absolutely nothing of any importance ever occurs within its walls.)
In the comments lots of "classic" scenes show up: Chemistry students measuring Gatorade or gazing into flasks of undetermined contents. The library "diversity tableau" the "pretending to study" students, and the gleeful professor with a perfectly legible chalkboard/whiteboard full of notes behind them. WE ALL have them. I understand the marketing issues, but I am blown away be the repetition. I know, I know. We all know this. I shouldn't be surprised. I never explicitly searched University websites with this in mind though. I was initially laughing as I found endless examples of every cliché mentioned, but then it stopped getting funny. I never realized how blatantly formulaic and ubiquitous it was. It makes me think it would be fun to create a completely fictitious University website. Combine it all. Find all the best examples of cliché images and text and create one gleaming beacon of academic bullshit. We could then deface it. Give every smiling person on campus some off-color dialogue. Photoshop the buildings back into reality. Put all the trash back. Rewrite everything.
This is what happens to my brain at this point in the semester (so close, yet so far from over), and when my basketball team not only lost, but lost big. Damn.

Isn't that similar to the plot from the movie, "Accepted?"ReplyDelete
And we have to include Before and After section. I SWEAR that one of my alma maters actually filled all the otherwise-dry-as-a-bone fountains all over campus AND served prime effing rib (instead of mystery meat) in the dorms on Parent's Weekend.
Here is my fictitious university photo story. You know those online degree mills that talk about their beautiful elm-shaded campus in frustratingly vague terms, and never quite disclose where they are? One day I was browsing one of those websites, smirking at their ecstatic description of their picturesque library. Then I looked at the picture. I did a double-take. It was MY picturesque library! They had taken a picture of my high school library and claimed it as part of their imaginary campus. At first I was mad but then I realized it would let me earn my advanced degrees while I walked between the dorms and the math building.ReplyDelete

I myself have been in a posed 'campus' photo - it was on the day of the annual uni pub crawl no less - I posed in a food analysis lab staring dazedly at a test tube of coloured liquid with an insane grin.ReplyDelete
They actually used the picture!!
A tangent, but my local Latina/o Studies web page (which is not controlled by the unit) keeps "mysteriously" reverting back to its incarnation from several years ago (Including now entirely out-of-date faculty listings, graduation requirements, and course offerings). It takes weeks to get them (We are never sure who the "them" really are) to fix the problem, only for it to happen over and over again. So, while the front page can be lovingly lavished with airbrushed photos of learning students, the actual academic web pages are absurdly wrong.ReplyDelete
LOL! You're so right.ReplyDelete
I typed in "student life" as Google search image and this one caught my attention.ReplyDelete
Look at the young women happily frolicking and showing school spirit with the man who may or may not know that he looks like Benjamin Franklin. Is that supposed to suggest that the school is not age-ist? Or that even those who favor elaborate costumes in daily life are welcomed?
- AnonymousMarch 28, 2009 at 1:51 PM
Ink, no wonder why schools aren't hiring. The damn benjamins aren't dying!ReplyDelete
FUCKING RETIRE ALREADY OR DIE! The students don't think you're cute anymore. Go fly a kite, ben!
Ink, UPenn has Ben Franklin EVERYWHERE on campus. My dad calls it the "Ben Franklin theme park". As such, the dude in costume is actually part of the school spirit, and that wouldn't work for any other school. It's kind of hilarious, actually.ReplyDelete

Editor's Note: Mira Sorvino is an Oscar-winning actress and goodwill ambassador to combat human trafficking for the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime which tackles human trafficking. She narrated CNN's documentary "Mozambique or Bust" which first airs on CNN International on Friday at 1630 GMT and is repeated at various times through next week.
(CNN) - I am thrilled about the message from "Mozambique or Bust" - empowerment and hope, to both would-be abolitionists and those longing to escape a life of bondage.
This is the story of Kimba Langas and Pastor Dave, with no initial resources to speak of besides their ardent wish to help trafficking survivors, creating a non-profit that provides a way for girls rescued from sexual trafficking in Mozambique to build a sustainable livelihood for themselves.
It highlights the power of faith, ingenuity and the generosity of like-minded strangers who only needed to hear of the plan to pool their diverse resources and get involved.
That Kimba and Dave's brainchild of such an unlikely product, donated bras, could turn into a humanitarian gold mine in resale at the used clothing markets of Mozambique, proves anyone can make a difference with their heart, hands and mind in the fight against modern day slavery.
And the success the survivors enjoy selling the bras with the support of their NGO sends a signal to those still in slavery that if they can manage to get away, or accept others' offers to help them escape, a dignified and self-empowering future is possible.
There is no reason that any of us should throw up our hands in despair at the overwhelming sadness of the plight of up to 30 million people living in bondage in the world today, thinking there is nothing we can do. There is everything we can do. It just requires passion, an assessment of our own personal skill set and some imagination.
U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime 2012 Global Trafficking Report
There is enormous goodwill out there, just waiting to be partnered with a good plan and this film is the proof. When Kimba realized she had no money to send the thousands of donated bras to Mozambique, the owner of a shipping company heard about it via CNN. Lo and behold, the transatlantic leg of the delivery was supplied.
Then Truckers Against Trafficking volunteered with driving. Every step of the way, those impassioned to help found their own, incredibly powerful way of doing so.
Pastor Dave started the wave with his decision to move his family to Mozambique to help girls escaping from sexual trafficking and each person afterwards caught it, amplifying the energy and effects of this initial wish to be of service.
After all, isn't that what we are all here on the planet to do, to help others, to leave this world a better place than we found it? Don't we need to bequeath to our children a planet in which no one person is permitted to viciously exploit another in the name of profit, where all people are free to create their own destiny, and do their own good in turn?
Pastor Dave and Kimba thought so, and so do I. They are proof that this dream of abolitionism is just one step away from reality and that step is everyone's to take.
I was very honored to contribute to this Freedom Project Documentary. I admire its vital and in some cases life-changing reporting. The light shown on the most grievous issues in the blight of modern day slavery, and the active solutions that succeed in fighting them, have done an incredible service to victims and survivors worldwide.
Studies have shown that wherever media attention is brought to human trafficking, the number of discoveries and rescues of victims, and arrests, indictments and convictions of traffickers rises significantly. The unflinching gaze on governments or individuals whose actions or inactions are allowing slavery to thrive have helped goad them to better their ways.
As the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime's Goodwill Ambassador to combat Human Trafficking, I have spent much of the past four years engaging with all aspects of the fight against human trafficking. I have interviewed scores of people whose lives have intersected with modern day slavery, and my heart has been broken and then put back together by meeting the incredibly brave and altruistic survivors of this hideous crime.
I have become a victims' and survivors' advocate both globally and at home in the U.S. and am not content with simple awareness-raising; I always try to spur people on to actions that truly help stop trafficking in its tracks.
Go, Go, Nina Sorvino, and all the fighters for ending slavery. I love your assessments, and advice. I've decided to join in with this ( these?) project (s). Just gota get organized, and prioritised – – and – – activated. This is a start.
Well, I feel thaer's more for me to say here. As you say, NS, there is a lot of goodwill out there, LIKE MINE. So NOW after this artical I am already thinking of ways to find a "good idea to partner with". Thanks. Let's hope my PASSION steps up to the needs of all this ….
Call me a DOG right now, but I'll still say anyway that this is a TERRIBLE idea. How can you screen all "donors" as to their honesty and sincerety. Someone who's been listening to US right-wing talk radio might use the opportunity to send bras tainted with who knows what?
The last time it was Smallpox. Would it be Ebola this time, or Anthrax?
May NEVER happen, but you NEVER know!
Come on Rach! Do you subscribe to X files?
I am not sure why the U.S. needs to fight slavery at all. Our Founding Fathers thought that slavery was just fine... as long as it wasn't them being enslaved. Since our Founding Fathers are seen as God-like and infallible, it is logical to conclude that slavery is fine.
You can't . People love slavery. If we want to end slavery , we must get to the root cause for it. And that is the hardest of all because people love it. Its called cheap labors and maximum profit . Its from the hearts of man. Its greed and lust that becomes wicked.
People love cheap buys and the producers had to find cheap labors. Its a chain reaction. If all the people would accept enough as needed for self , then slavery will ceased to exit. It had to start with the rich down to the poor. For the earth had surplus for all. Can human accept this? If not slavery will continues and the talks are just like all the talks about peace. Its a dream that will never happen but the curse of humanity. All because of evil and wickedness in the hearts of man.
The freedom is the only things what we need 。
Am I missing something here? USED under garments being shipped to "Africa". Has anyone considered the hygiene issues? What next used panties to be shipped? Would Americans or any one else appreciate USED undergarments being shipped to their daughters? I think not.
This is a ridiculous idea. If you want to aid people set up a fund in country or buy the NEW Bras in country. For the record new Chinese, European and South African manufactured bras are readily available for purchase in Maputo, Mozambique.
I also don't understand what is so difficult about shipping to Mozambique. I would first suggest the shippers stop thinking of Africa as a country-That would immediately improve their search for shipping options. They would soon realize they have many choices to ship to Mozambique. South African Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways to name a few all ship to Mozambique from the USA.
I think it is safe to assume that they wash the bras first.
I know the founder of Project Purpose, the woman helping the girls who've been rescued. Unless you've been traded or sold, you have no idea the awfulness of slavery. These bras are washed, just as tee-shirts, shorts, or any other garments are washed. Maybe you find that wearing used clothing is beneath you, but I find myself shopping in resale stores for much of my wardrobe. How is that any different than these girls selling pre-owned clean bras? I find this piece inspiring. As to shipping, it's expensive.
As a curious reader, how do these bras actually help these unfortunate women.
Read the whole article.
i admire Mira's dedication.... she did a movie a few yeas back ...about human trafficking .... she played an FBI agent. looks like she's carrying on with the task. Good on her.
I liked ,very good , sorry i ,dont speak ingles congratuletion mira,oscar wonderfull
I like this! So fantastic that I am definitely coming back again tomorrow. backlink http://fiverr.com/twnseobacklink
Smallpox is a disease caused by the Variola major virus. Some experts say that over the centuries it has killed more people than all other infectious diseases combined. Worldwide immunization stopped the spread of smallpox three decades ago. The last case was reported in 1977. Two research labs still house small amounts of the virus. Experts fear bioterrorists could use the virus to spread disease.'`'..
Kind regards <http://healthmedicine101.com
I agree wholeheartedly with any efforts to stop child trafficking and admire celebrities who take a stance. However, I have a real problem with CNN's editing of the commercials for this program, in which Mira is seen outside the door of some hovel in Cambodia pronouncing to the inhabitants, "it is NOT OK to sell children...it is NOT OK" It portrays her as oblivious to the fact that those people ALREADY KNOW THAT. These people act out of desperation and do not need pronouncements from Hollywood royalty about the rightness or wrongness of their actions. Solve the desperation and you will solve the problem. You will not solve it by sending the parents on a guilt trip. I am not acquainted with Mira's qualifications outside of her celebrity status, and she may indeed be as clueless as these commercials make her look, but I will give her the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to short-sighted editing.
Agreed Todd, this commercial is playing non-stop (or at least every 10 min where I am) and I can't help but think how odd this is – or at least seems. It appears as if she's just walking by someones home and family and pronouncing, "it's not OK to sell children – it's not OK.". Putting myself in a similar situation I think I would be livid (and probably violent) if a foreigner came walking up to myself and family pronouncing the same. Perhaps it is taken out of context in the commercial, but it really makes her and the situation seem foolhardy, arrogant, and ignorant.

National Debt Font Family by Harold's Fonts
About: I originally created National Debt for a 1940s-style event when I couldn't find the font I imagined. (Later I discovered the existing font I'd wanted is called Futura Display, Function Display, Gumshoe, etc.) But my version was independently created and now has a distinctive highlighted companion font.

The combined crews of space shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station's Expedition 28 have wrapped the unloading of the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module.
The module is now packed with 5,666 pounds (2.57 tonnes) of waste and scrap kit, and will be moved back today to the shuttle's cargo bay. Once that's done, the hatch will be closed between the ISS and Atlantis for the last time, as the venerable vehicle is prepared for its final homecoming later this week.
The Atlantis 'nauts were greeted this morning by Keith Urban's Days Go By, followed by a cheery message from workers Houston's Johnson Space Center:
Here's NASA video round-up of flight day 10, including a quick tour of Atlantis:

Notice of Rules for the Tough Issues forum.
For various reasons I feel it is necessary to let everyone know of a few rules and guidelines for this forum.
1) This is the "Tough Issues" forum. If you don't want to discuss tough issues or can't handle it, there are other forums that have an enormous range of subject matters.
2) This is the "Tough Issues" forum. But people don't need to be bombarded with off-topic content in the middle of threads on specific subjects. If you wish to make a comment, please feel free, but keep in mind that some things are offensive to others for various reasons and be considerate of that reality.
3) This is the "Tough Issues" forum. Therefore, if you wish to post a topic that may be of a sensitive nature, (again) feel free. BUT, keep the title of the topic from being explicit and put a warning of contents in the title so that it can be avoided for those who wish to avoid it. Regarding the titles... if it is something that my momma (not yours... mine... and she's an old-fashioned prude :wink: ) would be embarassed by, don't do it.
4) This is the "Tough Issues" forum. SO, posters are generally given a lot of latitude and it is expected that to a certain degree posters will don their asbestos suits and thicker martial arts skin. However, always keep in mind that personal insults, threats, derogatory comments, non-public information, invasion of privacy, etc directed at another poster has repercussions. Consider that such actions do not further your own position on a subject of debate, but may be the cause of loss of posting priviledges if the behaviour continues. (It is my perogative on if, when and how many "warnings" an individual will get...)
5) This is the "Tough Issues" forum. Topics and posts on this forum are not required to be "Politically Correct" and may contain crude or vulgar language. If something like that bothers you, you may post your thoughts and concerns in the thread or to me in a private message. You may also post those concerns by starting a new thread to discuss it as yet another "tough issue" for us to debate and discuss.
6) This is the "Tough Issues" forum. (Get that yet?) And I, as the moderator, am not afraid to wield an axe. BUT, I do not want to do so. With that in mind, there may be occasion where posters are requested to moderate their comments on their own in a specific thread. IF a poster wishes to start a new thread to simply rant and rave, that's fine... first re-read these rules. :wink:
7) I want to give lots of latitude... (I truly do). That means posters must take a certain amount of personal responsibility and act like adults. I want contributions from everyone on everything... I want everyone to feel welcome and willing to contribute... I want everyone to feel free to voice their ideas, thoughts and opinions... I want people to not be afraid to stop in and join in... It is actually my wish that this forum not have any rules. (See what happens...)
8) We won't all agree on things. That's why this is the "Tough Issues" forum. (sinking in yet?) But I, personally, expect everyone to be able to make reasonable articulable points for their positions in the discussion or debate. I hope that I have demonstrated that when I have posted. In some instances, we all make points based on our personal "gut" feelings. While I don't have a problem with that per se, I would suggest that a little research to shore up your position always helps (sidenote: consider the sources... there is a lot of information out there and, unfortunately, plenty of it is garbage) .
9) It is my perogative to change, break or otherwise modify the rules at my whim if folks don't seem to get it.
Now... Have at it...
Take care and (try to) be good to each other...
Added 2nd announcement to this post: GEM
Everyone has been doing a very good job staying (relatively) civil in the current discussions.
Please ... Keep it up!
This being the "Tough Issues" forum... and considering that we are all adults... I will allow quite a bit of latitude in discussions.
However , what may be fine for some in a discussion, might also cross the boundaries of "good taste" to another... and vice versa. With that in mind, I'm requesting that everyone use discretion in their discussions of potentially sensitive topics or subject matter and take each other's feelings (at least somewhat) into consideration.
Thank you... Keep up the intelligent, thought-provoking discussions!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled threads...
Take care and be good to each other...

As the central feature of the face, the nose plays an important role in your overall appearance. But if you feel uncomfortable about the size, shape, or alignment of your nose, consider rhinoplasty in Frederick, MD.
The goal of the rhinoplasty procedure at our Baltimore, MD area offices (just a short drive from Frederick) is to help patients achieve a natural-looking nose that blends seamlessly with their other features.
At The Plastic Surgery Center, our surgeons combine years of experience with a dedication to providing personal attention and customized care. After examining your features, they can help you decide on a treatment plan that will deliver the appearance you desire.
Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. An incision will be made on the inside of the nose or on the strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. Then, according to your goals, bone or cartilage will be removed to reduce the size of the nose or reshape it, or a cartilage graft might be added.
Side effects are temporary and may include bruising, swelling, and discomfort. Most patients are able to return to work and light activities in as little as one week.
A deviated septum occurs when the nasal septum that divides your nostrils is crooked or off center. This can result in
Rhinoplasty is often used to correct a deviated septum by straightening it out during restructuring.
When considering rhinoplasty, it's very important to carefully evaluate your plastic surgeon. Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg holds dual certifications by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery (the only plastic surgery board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties). He is active in national as well as local medical and plastic surgical societies, and is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery, the Lipoplasty Society of America, and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Greg Dyke, chairman of the BFI, spoke at the BFI London Film Festival awards tonight and reiterated the organisation's call for film education to be essential in schools.
In the recent Forward Plan introduced by the BFI, education and audience development was one of three key areas of concentration.
Dkye's statement tonight:
"We currently have a Government with radical plans to change the way the vast bulk of the population is educated in England with an emphasis, it seems, on going back to traditional subjects and more traditional teaching methods. Whilst I fully understand the Government's aims I just want to say that in the U Tube age it would be ridiculous not to use the moving image as a means of teaching, and ridiculous not to promote the understanding of film as part of the school curriculum.
This year is the great Dickens anniversary and we finish the Festival tomorrow night with the new version of Great Expectations but just ask yourselves how many people in this country today were introduced to Dickens by reading the novels and how many by watching films or, for my generation, all those late Sunday afternoon serials on the BBC? I suspect the answer is that the latter were far more important than the former in introducing people to Dickens.
"Now such words won't make me popular amongst education traditionalists.You can almost hear the nay-sayers now, opining that film is simply a form of entertainment and has no place in the classroom. They are completely wrong. To quote Heather Stewart, the BFI's Cultural Director, speaking at the launch of the BFI's major season of Hitchcock's work a few weeks back: 'The idea of popular cinema somehow being capable of being great art at the same time as being entertaining is still a problem for some people. As a result Shakespeare is on the national curriculum, Hitchcock is not.'
She's right. It's barmy if we are going to restrict the minds of the young while in school only to the conventional learning approach and only to traditional scholarly works in an era when the medium of choice for millions of them is the moving image. The Government has given real support to the cultural industries which it sees as the growth industries of tomorrow. If that's the case it's vital that film, art and creativity are taught alongside english, maths and computer studies because it's the knowledge of all these essential subjects which is needed for kids who want to go into post production, special effects, games and animation.
We all know that film has the power to transform lives and to shape thinking. At the BFI we want to ensure that everyone can benefit from the learning opportunities that film provides and that they are able develop a lifelong relationship with film. And we believe it starts in the schools.
So over the next four years we plan to invest £28 million of Lottery funding in a new film education offering for 5-19 year olds. It will be available online and we aim to make it available in every school in the United Kingdom, we want to make it available to every pupil.
But the good news is that this approach won't only improve learning in this country, it will also help our industry. Film in the UK is in a really strong place right now. Box office revenues are up, production is up and film contributes a staggering £4.6 billion to Britain's GDP. The number of jobs in the industry has increased; our film exports are greater than our imports. But if we want British film to be more successful we also have to think of building audiences. The evidence is clear. It shows that children who watch and understand films when they are young are three times more likely to go to the cinema when they are an adult. So by nurturing a love for film and cinema at an early age, we embed the cinema going habit which will help ensure future audiences for film in Britain and of course we also encourage a new generation of talented people who want to work in our industry."

Namibia -- a wildlife photographer's paradise
By Ted Alan Stedman, for CNN • Published 28th June 2013
View Gallery
10 Pictures
Poached for use in traditional Chinese medicine or sold as exotic pets. Sometimes slaughtered in a vicious, drawn-out war.
We're all familiar with the themes dominating headlines about Africa's declining wildlife.
Lions, elephants and tigers, one might think, will exist only in sad tales told to children in a decade or two.
Yet amid the disturbing news, one African wildlife success story stands out like the sun rising over the Serengeti -- and it's great news for travelers.
With sustainable wildlife tourism as the long-term goal, the southern African nation of Namibia has been making ambitious commitments to habitat conservation since its independence in 1990.
Almost half of country protected
The nation of 2.2 million people was the first African country to write environmental protection into its constitution. More than 40% of Namibia is now under some form of conservation management.
Officially inaugurated in March 2012, the KAZA (Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area) initiative established a 100,000-square-mile, five-nation conservation zone -- the world's largest.
Encompassing the entire Caprivi Panhandle in Namibia, KAZA's "conservation beyond borders" approach protects wildlife corridors shared by Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Central to the effort are the communal conservancies -- rural communities that share the proceeds of wildlife ventures equitably between members -- that now cover one-fifth of the country and affect 250,000 rural Namibians.
Human-wildlife conflict reversed
In many cases,
poachers have become protectors
, as Namibians have come to appreciate the long-term benefits of living with wildlife.
Generations of human-wildlife conflict are being reversed, while communities are made stakeholders.
Much of Namibia's wildlife is now flourishing.
This is also good news for travelers.
With more than 30 conservancy lodges dotting the Caprivi Panhandle and north-central regions -- Namibia's wildlife hotbeds -- visitors are privy to some of the most unforgettable wildlife encounters in Africa.

Welty family name
Welty (Walti, Weldy, Welti), a Mennonite family name of Swiss origin meaning Walter, i.e., Ruler. The family originated in the communes of Rüderswil and Lauperswil in the canton of Bern. As early as 1534 a member of the family, Stoffel Wälti, was brought before the Bernese authorities for listening to Anabaptist sermons. Bernhard Wälti of Rüderswil met a martyr's death in Bern on 7 July 1537, for his Anabaptist faith. In 1672 the records reveal that a Hans Wälti was imprisoned in Bern and flogged for being an Anabaptist. He is probably the Hans Wälti listed in the Palatinate as a refugee a short time later. In 1703 Hans Wälti (called "Rot Hans") and others were imprisoned and sent to Bern. As early as 1738 an Uli Wälti and family of Rüderswyl were living in the Jura in Chaluet, near Moutier, having fled the intolerance of their Emmental home. Ulrich Weldy was listed in 1762 as a minister in the Palatinate. Niklaus Wälti of Lauperswil (1764-1834) and his family lived at Wintersingen, canton of Basel. His son John (1787-1855) became the progenitor of the family that settled in Putnam County, Ohio.
The ancestors of the Wälti families who settled in Wayne County, Ohio, in the 1830's and 1840's were Ulrich (1750-1834) of Rüderswyl and Christian (1767-?) of Lauperswil. Their descendants are also found at present in Moniteau County, Missouri, as well as other Mennonite communities.
Another family of Wältis came to America in the fore part of the 19th century and settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. In 1851 they moved to northern Indiana where they changed their name to Weldy. Abraham Welty was the first Mennonite (Mennonite Church) minister and bishop in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Henry Weldy (1862-1934) served as a minister in the Holdeman Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), Elkhart County, Indiana, as did also Silas L. Weldy (1877-1955). Dwight E. Weldy (1918- ) joined the Goshen College faculty in 1948.
