Robotic Plasma Cutting
by Wolf Robotics
Wolf Robotics, A Lincoln Electric Company Posted 07/02/2009
High speed cutting
Less heat-affected zone
Cuts all metals including aluminum and stainless steel
Produces quality bevel cuts for welding
Follows part/shape contours
Minimal cleanup
Reduced part warpage
Process versatility using tool changers
Plasma cutting is a process where an ionized gas conducts electricity creating a hot, energized plasma arc that when constricted through a concentrated area (the nozzle) is capable of blasting through thicker metals producing a clean cut-out shape with minimal cleanup required.
Plasma can cut metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper, mild steel and others from very thin up to 2 in. thick.
No preheating is required and cutting is performed at higher speeds than oxyfuel cutting with smaller heat-affected zones that minimizes warping.
Superior cut quality is also available on thinner materials using a precision plasma cutting technology. The improved quality is from a super constricted arc and increased energy density.
Robotic plasma cutting offers the advantages of the plasma cutting process with the ability to follow irregular shapes and contours. Depending on the part, you can either have the robot hold and maneuver the part under a stationary plasma cutting torch or use the robot to manipulate the plasma torch around the part contour.
Another big advantage of robotic plasma cutting is the ability to switch from a straight 90 degree cut angle to a bevel angle during the actual cutting process. Bevel cuts are sometimes preferred for subsequent welding operations. Utilizing a feedback system the robot can maintain an accurate torch to work distance and adjust accordingly no matter what shape or angle is required.
To expand the robots capabilities, a tool changer can be implemented for switching from cutting to welding or some other production process.
Ultimately, one should consider the importance of technology, future expansion and adaptability when selecting the system and its components.

Leah from the Almost Unschoolers blog decided to take on the project of creating a homemade mbira (kalimba) while studying Kenya with her kids. A complete list of supplies and tools she used for this craft are listed below plus a link to her inventive and creative blog.
Leah started with a block of wood and added two popsicle sticks to it with hot glue. This would create an area where the bobby pins would be higher then the wood block so they could be plucked.
After cutting the bobby pins in half, she shortened each one just a bit. By doing this, the variation in length would create a slightly different sound for each "tine" or bobby pin when plucked. Leah used four bobby pins here but you can experiment with any number of bobby pin "tines".
Then she taped the bobby pins in place in the order she wanted and hot glued two more popsicle sticks on top. She tightened the sticks by adding pushpins. Finally, she bent the bobby pins up to about a 45 degree angle. At that point, the little instrument was ready to play.
Her kids jumped right in and began to pluck and play. Although, it didn't sound exactly like the kalimbas or mbiras they had checked out in sound clips on the internet, it still was a good working instrument that was fun to explore. It also was a great experiment in encouraging kids to think about how instruments were invented or improved using only the simplest of materials.
What did the homemade mbira pictured here sound like? Leah's one son thought it sounded like a "dying grasshopper". You can hear a sound clip for yourself if you check out her complete post:
A block or piece of wood
Four popsicle sticks
Bobby pins
Hot glue gun/craft glue
scotch tape
wire cutters
safety glasses (for use while cutting bobby pins)

According to Sister Mary Luke Tobin, S.L., Catholic women don't want to receive an award for best supporting actress if they're not allowed to help play the lead roles.
This U.S. Catholic interview with Sister Mary Luke Tobin, S.L., one of only 15 women—and the only American woman—to serve as official observers, or "auditors," at the Second Vatican Council, originally appeared in the April 1987 issue.
As she accepted the 1986 U.S. Catholic Award for furthering the cause of women in the church, Tobin told this story:
"Awards were given out on that final day of Vatican II. There were four artists who marched forward and received a little certificate from the Pope. There were four musicians who marched forward and received a certificate. They were followed by four literary figures and then four philosophers. Finally, four women marched forward to receive certificates. I turned to a friend and said, 'That's all wrong. Women shouldn't be receiving some special honor from the church. Women and men make up the church. If they're going to give women awards for being women, then they should be giving men awards for being men. Women are not a category in the church; along with men, we are the church."
Tobin, the author of Hope is an Open Door, manages the Thomas Merton Center for Creative Exchange in Denver, Colorado.
You were one of fifteen women—and the only American woman—to be chosen as an official observer to the Second Vatican Council in Rome. How were you selected?
From 1958 to 1970 I was president of my religious community, the Sisters of Loretto; and I belonged to what is now called the LCWR—or the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. In 1964 I was elected president of the LCWR.
Nineteen sixty-four was an exciting time to be a part of the Catholic Church. Pope John XXIII had invited a new openness to the modern world, one that many other theologians and workers in the church sensed was long overdue. My own religious community was ready for such openness. Vatican II probably would have been a disappointment for many of us had it not moved in the direction it did.
But then John XXIII died before the Council ended. Pope Paul VI carried on to the end. In the meantime, though, the members of the LCWR thought that I should go over to Rome to find out what was happening at the Council. The executive committee said, "Go over and listen. Find out what you can. Find out what they're saying about religious communities. Find out what they're saying about women." I had no idea that I'd be officially invited until I got over there. The organizers had chosen 15 women—seven laywomen and eight women from religious communities, including myself—who were already in leadership positions within their church-affiliated groups.
Once I was in Rome, I was interviewed by the man who issued the identification cards for attendance at the Council proceedings. He explained to me, "Now, you understand that the women have been invited to attend these sessions as auditors. So you listen; you don't speak." Incidentally, the Protestants also had observer status; they, too, could observe but not speak.
The interviewer also said I was invited to attend any sessions which were of special interest to women. So I decided right then that I wouldn't miss a single session.
If women weren't allowed to speak, was it really significant that women were there?
Oh, it was significant. It was only at the end of the second session of Vatican II, however, that Cardinal Suenens stood up and said, "It is strange that here we are talking about the church, and half of the church is not here." I've often pictured those bishops looking at each other and asking, "Who didn't show?"
While the women were not allowed to speak before the assembly, three of us were officially appointed to commissions that prepared the documents the bishops voted on. Theologian Bernard Häring—one of the big influences behind Vatican II and one of those who had suggested that women be included—pushed through the idea that women should at least work on the commissions if they couldn't speak before the assembly.
Each commission resembled a caucus. Officially these were not caucuses, but they did give the three of us women some freedom to express our thoughts. We could say whatever we wanted, and we were encouraged to speak up. People did listen to us. All three of us were appointed to the commission that put together the document on "The Church in the Modern World." And I was also appointed to the commission on the laity—which was fitting because, technically, I am laity. I'm a nun, but in the church nuns are classified as laity since they're not clerics.
Women had some input, then, on the Vatican II documents we read today?
Yes, depending upon the commission they worked on. I remember, for instance, that one day—during the preparation of the document for "The Church in the Modern World"—we on the commission were discussing the place of women in the Catholic Church. A great Dominican theologian prepared parts of this document for us.
"Now this is what I think should be in there about women," I remember this expert saying. Then he read off this long, beautiful, flowery sentence and asked, "What do you think of that?"
He looked at [the Australian theologian Rosemary Goldie, who was] one of the other two women on the commission and said, "Rosemary, you're not saying anything about that. What do you think of that sentence?" She answered him in a sentence that has since burned itself into my memory over all these years. She said, "You can leave out all the flowers, all the pedestals, all the fancy words. Just leave all that out. Simply say that women wish to be treated as the full human persons they are in the church. That's enough:'
I don't know if that man, to this day, really knew what she was talking about. But what Rosemary said is what women continue to say today. Women are not asking for any special compliments; they just want to be recognized as the full human persons they are. You don't want the ice cream if you haven't got the meat and potatoes, after all! To say that women are created by God—equal with men in the sight of God— but then deny them full participation in the church is only a flowery way of trying to say something when the real thing isn't there. No matter what's said with the compliments, there's still the basic message given that women are somehow not equal to men. In the Roman Catholic Church, therefore, women are still treated as second-class citizens. And until more men recognize this, too, the struggle to get a fair female voice in the church is going to continue.
How are women second-class citizens?
Women are part of the church, but they're not recognized as full, participating members of the church. Jesus, on the other hand, recognized that women had a major role to play in carrying out his message. And Saint Paul, in Galatians 3:28, says that Christians are "neither male nor female, neither slave nor free, Greek nor Jew, but are all one in Christ." This Galatians verse is the biblical text on which Christian feminism is based. Why? Because it says that in the Christian faith, all persons are equal before God and are to be recognized as such. They are not to be seen as anything less than full persons: they are not to be denied dignity because of their nationality, race, gender, or anything else. Fully recognized personhood is what the whole women's movement in the church is based on.
I think that Christian feminists are saying a simple thing. They want people to realize that the Catholic Church is a church for all of us. Women have to speak up and say that they are working toward a church that will include men and women equally and in every aspect of the church. Because as soon as you leave women out of any aspect of the church, it's no longer a complete church.
Are Christian feminists the first to stress this gospel view of human equality? It sounds like an idea that's too important to ignore.
Indeed it is. It's the basis of so much of what we believe as well as the source of many of our problems in today's world. Karl Rahner, the great Catholic theologian and an important influence on Vatican II, has given a wonderful definition of human identity. He says that "every human person is an event of the absolute, radical, free self-communication of God." Today we ask for contemporary language. We know the terms "event," "radical," "free,""communication," and "self"—so when Rahner says that each of us is a happening of God's own self-communication, we have a neat explanation of the wonder that is a human being. Our greatness is freely God's gift. Why should we then limit it for one another? God's own self, not some other object or thing, is what is given to us. We share the divine life itself. All this, of course, is a matter of faith.
When Rahner says that every human person is a self-communication of God, he means it. He's not talking about just Catholics or Christians: everyone is created to receive God's own self- communication. Simply by virtue of being created a human being, we are the recipients of God's own self.
This ties in with a saying of Thomas Merton's: that God is in our center, and that because of God's self-communication to us, we have everything we need. Of course, that's not pantheism. We're not God, but we certainly share in God's life; and that makes our human dignity very high.
I love to tell a story about Thomas Merton's last words. He went to Bangkok to speak with a group of Asian monks and nuns in 1968. Since this lecture is on film and he died in his room shortly after the lecture, you hear all this talk about the lecture containing Merton's famous last words. But those weren't his last words. On the way back to his room from the lecture and lunch he was accompanied by a priest who gave him some of the audience's reaction to the talk. They were asking: why didn't he talk more about converting people to Christianity?
Merton answered in a way that very much explains what I've just been talking about. He said something like, "I think that what we're asked to do today is not so much to speak about Christ or God. The point is to let Christ act in us. Then, people can find God by feeling how God lives in us."
And Merton, of course, was in good company: Saint Paul himself says, in Galatians 2:20, "I live not now, but Christ lives in me." A statement like that makes me think twice about putting down Paul for being sexist in his writings. I'd prefer to think that something like "wives, be submissive to your husbands," Ephesians 5:22, came from someone else who was later writing or editing his letters for him—and not from Paul himself. Can "wives, be submissive to your husbands" conceivably come from the same man who said, "neither male nor female, neither slave nor free, Greek nor Jew, but we are all one in Christ"? I have to wonder. Maybe Paul did write all that himself. All I have to say about it is that we cannot tolerate his words against women as being handed down by Jesus—not if you watch Jesus and the way he included women, reached out to them, at a time when it was not customary or popular to do so.
What about those who say, "Well, Jesus was a man. And he ordained his male disciples to continue his work"?
Jesus didn't "ordain" anyone in our sense of formal ordination. It wasn't until much later in the church that priests and bishops were ordained at all. Not until the second century did the church begin to say, "An institution is necessary to keep the Christian faith all together:' Jesus wouldn't have even known what you or I meant if we had been able to ask him what kind of bishops he wanted to have for his church. We also know that the whole first century of the church's formation was largely unformed. But there were women who did some leading in those years. One just has to read the letters of Paul to realize that.
I have pity for the people who so fully buy into the clerical state that they value clerical conformity over full participation of all people in the church. Women have to witness to and struggle for that equal participation. That's why women, if they are ever to be ordained, should not uncritically accept that kind of clerical state. They should do something to change it. But a lot of men have to help them out on this, especially those men who already have a voice in the church. As long as nobody in a position of hierarchical power says that anything's amiss, as long as nobody in the upper echelons supports women on this, who's going to believe women—even excellent women theologians? After all, women gave the first report of the Resurrection, and who believed them?
I wish that we Catholics would hear something positive from the bishops about the possibility of women's ordination. Instead of giving a flat-out no, I wish some bishop would say, "My dear people, there's been a great deal of talk about ordaining women. Now, we're not yet ready for it. We have psychological barriers, and we have fears. We have to work to overcome these, though, because everyone knows that in the eyes of God, men and women are equal. Let us work on overcoming these fears and psychological barriers; let us work on those, and then we will have a time in the not-too-distant future when, little by little, we can introduce women into the full ministry:"
We know that Jesus was a man, but can we talk about God as being either male or female?
I have a little story to tell here. It has nothing to do with feminism directly, but it says something about who God is to us.
I was at a weekend retreat with some people when a man came up to me and said, "I have a lot of trouble understanding how God is personal. That's always a struggle for me."
Karl Rahner's words came to my assistance at that point. I said, "Well, you know this: you don't want to relate to a stick of wood, do you? Or tell your troubles to a radiator? Can you recognize the Great Plains as the source of your being? Whenever we speak of relating to another we have to speak somehow of a person, don't we?" He said, "Yes, people do want to relate to a person; but we don't know how God is a person." He's right; we don't. We know that there's something about God that is a person, but we don't know how God is a person. That is the mystery that God knows and we don't know. All we do know is that, yes, we are dealing with a person—not a stick of wood— when we turn to God. I can't tell you much more than that, though, because it is not really possible to describe God within the range of human comparisons.
Is God a man or woman? We know we can't limit God to those descriptions. I also know that plenty of people think about God without having to think of God as either a man or woman. Some people go to great, deliberate pains to make sure that when they talk of God they don't use the word "Father" or even simply "he." I include myself in that, though I still make many mistakes with it. To use these words would be to limit God to a male personality. I know many people who use "God" in place of any pronoun—like "he" or "she"—that would limit God to the categories of human gender. And since we've just talked about how important it is to experience God as a person, we know we can't conceivably use the pronoun "it" to name our creator.
I know people who, in wanting to emphasize a personal God, use both "he" and "she," who use "Father" but also "Mother," when they talk about the infinite love that God offers us. I think it's all right to use "he" or "she" for God, by way of analogy, but I think it's absolutely crucial to be clear that God is beyond human categories, beyond human grasp. I don't mind it when people say "God is a loving father" or "God is a loving mother." These, you see, are primarily analogies; and we do need analogies to at least partially understand and approach our God. Don't forget, though, that analogies are only attempts to describe the fuller reality. Rahner consistently calls God the "Holy Mystery," which for me is a much better word to describe God.
I've come to the point where I can't give in to the exclusively God-as-male language anymore. If you're talking about Jesus, well then of course it's a different story. Jesus walked among us as a man.
But didn't Jesus himself call God "Father"?
He did. And I think it's a marvelous example of Jesus' true understanding of God: that God is a personal God, a loving and protecting and forgiving parent. Jesus says that God is like the parent in the prodigal son parable, which, for the people of that time and for all of us, is a new way to think of God. More than assigning a particular gender to God, Jesus offers us a personal and loving relationship with our creator.
People refer to human beings as "mankind" and "man" and "he" but often say they mean both men and women. Can't I therefore call God "he" without limiting God to either a male or female gender?
Again, I have to say that God is infinitely beyond our gender designations. We may need to use pronouns or metaphors that suggest either a maleness or a femaleness, but God is necessarily beyond this sort of description.
I don't use or excuse words like "man" or "he" to refer to both men and women, by the way. This constitutes the "sexist" language that you hear people complain about. Not only is it not accurate—women are not "men"—but it carries the ancient implication that it's only the men who really count in this world.
Let me tell another story. It comes from a priest I know who's learned to purge sexist language from his own vocabulary. Furthermore, he now says that he can no longer use "male only" references to God.
This priest told me that he visited his brother and sister-in-law one weekend. They have six children, three girls and three boys. One night the priest sat up with his brother, explaining to him just why he had to change sexist language in reference to both people and God. The brother said, "Do you even change the language in the Mass?" The priest said, "Well, yes. I've got to make it conform to what I know is right." The brother replied, "I'll bet you don't even say a valid Mass ."
The priest didn't get very far that night. The next morning, though, he had an idea as he went downstairs to breakfast. There sat the entire family—brother, sister-in-law, three daughters, and three sons—around the dining-room table; and in response to their "Good morning, Father," he smiled and said, "Good morning, men!' He said that his sister-in-law cracked up; she laughed so hard that she had to go out into the kitchen. But this man certainly got his point across.
Some women have stopped participating in the Catholic Church because they say it doesn't allow enough of a feminine voice in its worship and decision making. Are they being too sensitive?
Well, we all have to follow our consciences, of course. But maybe they are confusing a pastor or a parish or even the Pope with "the church." We're all learning those distinctions better now, I think. I certainly don't deny their experience or their anger. But unfortunately, people often identify the church with some petty or miserable representative of it in their lives.
I like what Rosemary Radford Ruether says in this connection. She says that the institution— the institutional church, for instance—has a value in and of itself and that we can't just throw the institution down the drain. What would we have otherwise? Every generation has a certain number of insights; and even if those insights are great, they're not going to be preserved without an institution to record and teach them.
I agree with Ruether, too, when she says that women have to create some of their own liturgies. They have to go off and create them by themselves. But then, she says, women can introduce what they've created back into the main body of the church. That way, the church can gradually incorporate the new examples.
But what if you're a woman in a parish that isn't so open to change?
There are really tragic situations in some parishes out there. I've heard the stories. I've always laughed along with my friends and said that if ever I hear an antiwoman homily preached at Mass, I'm going to get up, genuflect politely, and—I'm not going to walk out of the church— I'm going to go over to the first station and begin making the Stations of the Cross. The whole congregation would be looking at me, saying "What is that kooky lady doing?" But I would simply direct myself to my devotions while this homily goes on. I'd continue through all of the stations. Then I'd genuflect and leave the church.
And wave on the way.
Yes, wave on the way. Now that's pretty drastic; but such homilies are inexcusable. I wouldn't stay in such a parish. Thank God for Vatican II: because of it, I wouldn't have to stay in a parish that violates my conscience.
The Gospels have plenty of support for the notion that everyone has an equal voice in the church. Simply look up that great text in Matthew 21, where Jesus says to the disciples, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them. But it shall not be so among you." That's a kind of democracy, and I think that's an important part of what the Christian faith is all about. Christianity should be a democracy that comes from everyone participating in a circle with Christ as its center; believers should lead the Christian community together, having the communion of believers to help them do it.
How should parishioners respond if the bishop says that only men can have their feet washed on Holy Thursday?
Maybe it's only the men who need it? Seriously, though: ours is a church for men and women. I don't want to eliminate any men—they of course have just as much a right to be part of God's church as women do—but women have been much more excluded. What I want is a church where men and women can more visibly worship together. And I'm happy to report that there are wonderful men who speak out on this, that this is not simply a concern of women.
Some people say that feminists have selfish motives, that they care only about getting power for themselves and other women. Do you think that's true?
No. I don't think that's true at all. Feminists search for a deeper way of looking at some of the obvious problems of our world. They question many of our "accepted" cultural practices—like teaching boys violence. Most if not all feminists agonize over the fact that human beings are so violent, that we live in a violent age where the Rambos of this world are the ones to get the respect and loyalty of people.
I like to repeat what poet Denise Levertov says. She maintains that what we need to do in peacemaking is to use fewer images of disaster and foster more imagination of peace. That's where the poet comes in. And that's where feminists also contribute: they ask, "How do we create a better awareness in the world, how do we create a peace consciousness?"
The poetry of feminists and peacemakers often has a very prophetic value. Much like the biblical prophets, they are the ones who call attention to the state of how things really are in the world. They wake us up to some things. But what do you do once you are awake? The challenge for the feminist or peacemaker seems to also be that of keeping hope alive in people. If people don't have hope, I believe, then the work of the church is not done. If we don't have hope, then our faith is of little help or comfort.
Do you have to be female to be a feminist?
No. Anyone can suffer from sexism; or at least they can see that it's not consistent with the love and lifestyle that Jesus taught. Something like world peace is a human value; interest in it is not restricted to women, or more specifically, to women who would like their children to grow up in a nuclear-free world. I suppose you could also say that about sexism. Many fathers of families are right out there working for world peace and a world that's free from sexism. As with mothers, these men don't want their children to be deprived of the good things of the earth.
Is there a tension or rivalry between laywomen and religious women these days?
I don't think that we should be preoccupied with whether or not people are vowed or lay, women or men. Christians measure other Christians according to the gospel values that we all stand for. Our common commitment to the Gospel is the reason for our common action. Instead of competing with each other, we have to study this commitment together; we have to help each other learn how we can best live out the words and actions of Jesus.
But even besides this shared fidelity to the Gospel, we Christians have to maintain a fundamental respect for each other as persons. What does it mean to be a person? It means to be someone who decides, who has both responsibility and freedom. The question of being either male or female, religious or lay, doesn't even enter into that; these characteristics are decisive only after the more fundamental characteristics of personhood are already established.
If people take this as the primary definition of personhood—that one uses freedom and responsibility to form decisions—then their actions should somehow reflect that. Accordingly, I think that the church can't be its absolute best unless there is full participation among Christians. To take responsibility as persons and as Christians, people have to help form their own decisions and participate in the actions that are going to influence their lives.
With the rise in lay participation in the Catholic Church, I believe it is the responsibility of nuns, priests, and brothers to step aside and make available more opportunities for young and able laypeople.
I know a wonderful woman administrator of a parish, for instance. She's one of the best parish administrators I've ever seen. The pastor has his study where he sees and counsels people but has very little to do with the running of the parish. This woman does that, with the help of four other people she supervises. What's wrong with that? Can't a woman—a layperson—run a parish?
You see, there's no superiority in vocations. Our common goal as Christians is to live the Gospel; and sometimes that is best expressed in a life of lay membership within the church, while other times it is best expressed in the vowed life. And if you think about it, the lay teacher in the church—just to take one example—makes sacrifices, too; he or she does not have to live a vowed life to make sacrifices for their faith.
How did you form your own views on feminism?
Although my parents were not liberals in the way that people often use the word today, I would first of all have to say that I received a fairly broad, liberal education. I went to public school in Colorado, and Colorado had liberal racial policies in those days.
A lot of changes came about, however, once I joined my religious community. Over the years, my community's focus on a suffering world—on peace and social-justice concerns, for example— has fostered and strengthened my convictions.
In terms of feminism specifically, my community has helped me to see that the Catholic Church is a church for all of us. Over the years my community has come to model the full and equal participation that I would like to see exist throughout the entire church.
You've seen many disappointments in your years of service to the church. In spite of the changes you'd still like to see, what hopeful signs have you found along the way?
I see a lot of hope in the socialization of little girls today. They're not raised in the restrictive roles that girls used to be raised in. Let me give you a cute example that I heard from a young woman recently. The woman has a 5-year-old daughter. Last year the woman and her husband took the little girl with them to an ordination ceremony. At one point, the 5-year-old piped up and asked, "Why aren't there any women up there?" Five years old!
Most important, however, I have always believed in the potential of the church to accept change. Vatican II was probably a big lesson for me on that. I feel, in fact, that there is also a wonderful potential in the church to effect changes within society. Christ's teachings propose the kind of change that should cause the world to step back from its frightening position on the brink of nuclear war, for instance. The church has had important things to say about what's going on in South Africa and Central America. I think the church has had—and still has—an essential role to play in the creation of a better world, which is something that must engage all Christians.

Testimony of Lesbians' Son Goes Viral on YouTube
Testimony of Lesbians' Son Goes Viral on YouTube
A 19-year-old's testimony before Iowa state lawmakers this week that being raised by lesbian parents had "zero effect" on his character has gotten nearly a million hits on YouTube.
In the video-taped testimony of Zach Wahls, he argued in support of same-sex marriage in Iowa, saying the "sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character." Wahls also described his home life as "normal."
"I'm not really so different from any of your children," Wahls told Iowa legislators. "My family really isn't so different from yours."
Wahls shared his story at the Iowa House hearing on Tuesday in an effort to dissuade lawmakers from trying to amend the state's constitution to ban gay marriage. He argued that they should not block gay marriage for fear that it will result in maladjusted children. He pointed to his own life as an example that children of gay couples turn out fine and that gay families are just as normal as heterosexual ones.
Wahls described his family as a close-knit unit that does many of the same things as traditional families.
"My family eats together, goes to church on Sunday and goes on vacations, just like you," he revealed.
Dawn Stefanowicz, author of Out from Under: The Impact of Homosexual Parenting, agrees that children of homosexual parents do have normal facets in their lives, such as membership in social clubs like the Cub Scouts, church visits and family vacations as Wahls described.
However, her personal experience has shown her that children of homosexual parents do struggle.
"I come from a stand point having grown up since infancy with a father that has had various male partners that came into the home," shared Stefanowicz to The Christian Post.
As a child of a homosexual father, Stefanowicz described feeling very different from and not accepted by other children. She said that experience hurt her and her twin brother very deeply.
"One of our deepest needs is to belong and to feel accepted not only in our family of origin, but in the minds of those closest to us: those who would be considered our family, what would be considered our schoolmates and as we get older, our colleagues," she said.
She never shared these feelings with her father for fear that she would offend her parent and his partners. Stefanowicz said many children growing up in homosexual households are forced to censor their feelings for fear of being politically incorrect.
"As children growing up in this environment, we are not allowed to share anything that would hurt the feelings of our parents and their partners," she said.
Research findings from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) acknowledge that children of homosexual couples may "experience social marginalization and become the objects of ridicule and harassment by other children." However the study places the blame for these things on society's failure to accept same-sex marriage.
The July 2006 AAP study continues, "Children born to and raised by lesbian couples seem to develop in ways that are indistinguishable from children raised by heterosexual parents."
However, the American College of Pediatrics has concluded in a study that "children fare best when reared by their two biological parents in a loving, low conflict marriage" over any other form of parenting relationship be it that of a single homosexual parent, committed homosexual couple, or single heterosexual parent.
The ACP found that mothers and fathers parent differently and make unique contributions to the overall development of the child. In homosexual parenthood they found, "children reared in homosexual households are more likely to experience sexual confusion, engage in risky sexual experimentation, and later adopt a homosexual identity."
Additionally, Dr. Sharon Quick of the ACP has revealed that over half of the references in the AAP's 2006 report are inaccurately quoted.
Stefanowicz and her brother's childhood experiences match the ACP's findings. She felt and could sense that one gender was not valued or not loved as much as the other. She said that sense deeply affected her and her sibling.
As a result, they suffered depression and bouts of anger, Stefanowicz shared. They also engaged in self-destructive behavior. She began dating boys at age 12. Her brother attempted suicide in his late teens.
Though both Wahls and Stefanowicz both were raised by homosexual parents, there is a key difference between them. Wahls expressed that his lesbian parents were largely exclusively committed to each other. Stefanowicz 's gay father had multiple partners throughout her childhood.
Through her experience and that of others like her, Stefanowicz states that Wahls experience is a rarity. Gay couples in general have a higher risk of splitting up than heterosexual couples, she stated. Allowing them to marry lawfully would raise the divorce rate as well as increase the number of children brought up in a divorced households, Stephanowics contended.
She also said gay couples that stay together often allow each other to "cruise" or openly engage in sexual activity with other people.
The New York Times documented this tendency in an article entitled, "Many Successful Gay Marriages Share an Open Secret."
In the story, the NY Times quoted research from San Francisco State University that about 50 percent of the 556 couples surveyed reported having sex outside their relationships, with the knowledge and approval of their partners.
"The risk of abuse increase when you grow up in a highly sexual environment," Stefanowicz noted.
Some viewers of the YouTube video seemed convinced by Wahls' argument for gay marriage and parenting. However, a 2007 Pew Research poll shows the majority of Americans believe that allowing gay and lesbian couples to raise children is bad for society.
To that end, the Iowan House has already approved a ban same-sex marriage laws by a 62-37 vote. The vote was bi-partisan; three Democrats joined the 59 Republicans to vote in favor of amending the Iowa Constitution to ban gay marriage. The state Senate now needs to pass the amendment. An effort to do so last week failed.

Following the extraordinary success of the New York Times bestseller Bonhoeffer, Eric Metaxas' latest book offers inspirational and intellectually rigorous thoughts about the great questions surrounding us all today.
The Greek philosopher Socrates famously said that "the unexamined life is not worth living." Taking this as a starting point, Eric Metaxas founded a speaking series that encouraged busy and successful professionals to attend forums and think actively about the bigger questions in life; thus Socrates in the City: Conversations on "Life, God, and Other Small Topics" was born.
This book is for the seeker in all of us, the collector of wisdom, and the person who asks, "What if?" Within this collection of original essays that were first given to standing-room-only crowds in New York City are serious thinkers taking on Life, God, Evil, Redemption, and other small topics. Luminaries such as Dr. Francis Collins, Sir John Polkinghorne, Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks, N. T. Wright, Os Guinness, Peter Kreeft, and George Weigel have written about extraordinary topics vital to both secular and Christian thinking, such as "Making Sense out of Suffering," "The Concept of Evil after 9/11," and "Can a Scientist Pray?" No question is too big—in fact, the bigger, the harder, the more complex the better. These essays are both thought-provoking and entertaining, because nowhere is it written that finding answers to life's biggest questions shouldn't be exciting and even, perhaps, fun.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
This is probably just a coincidence. But Dierks Bentley's summertime mixtape (if we still made things like mixtapes) is almost identical to mine. Some are songs that are on the radio 24/7, and some have never, ever had a spin on the radio. And most are pretty new, but a few are practically vintage. "Miranda's record is great. The Eric Church record is great — that "Springsteen" song is awesome," Bentley said. "Everything that Blake's putting out I really enjoy. 'Fly Over States' — that song is just unreal. That's probably my favorite Jason song. The Eli Young Band's record is great. Will Hoge is just so good." Quite a list, right? So even though he only gave you a couple specific tracks he's loving, I will share my entire 18-song playlist (which is about an hour long) from the aforementioned artists if you want some music to get you through the rest of the summer.
Miranda Lambert: "All Kinds of Kinds," "Mama's Broken Heart," "Love Song"
Eric Church: "Keep On," "Country Music Jesus," "Jack Daniels"
Blake Shelton: "Draggin' the River," "The More I Drink," "Austin"
Jason Aldean: "Tattoos on This Town," "The Truth," "Fly Over States"
Eli Young Band: "Always the Love Songs," "Guinevere," "Enough Is Enough"
Will Hoge: "The Highway's Home," "When I Get My Wings," "Too Old to Die Young"

Skiing and snowboaring
Welcome to free the snow
The pure arc of a snowboard turn can make riders feel like part of a hundred-year-old tradition. However, most of us have watched snowboarding spring up before our very eyes, and the early origins of this young sport can only be traced back as far as the 1960's. Over the next decade, early pioneers like Jake Burton, Demetrije Milovich and Tom Sims created more specialized and refined board designs. By the early 80's a handful of snowboard brands were on the market, including Burton, Winterstick, Sims, Barfoot, Avalanche and Gnu. . .
Some great links for skiing and snowboarding
- The snowboard craze hit a crescendo in the mid-eighties, sweeping through ski resorts across the US. Along with it came an early "bad boy" image, based largely on the fact that adolescent males (who acted exactly like adolescent males on skis) comprised the majority of snowboarders at the time. A rebel reputation was established and is still prevalent today, despite snowboarding's vast appeal to men and women of all ages.
- -
Great pics
Some ski resorts banned snowboarding during this early phase but have since come to accept the wildly popular and still growing winter sport. A few resorts are still holding out against all odds, but it seems unlikely that their skier-only policies will last. In the year 2000, snowboarding was the fastest-growing sport in the US (followed by skateboarding) with the number of people who went snowboarding increasing 51.2 percent from the previous year to a total of just over 7.2 million participants. Downhill skiing grew by just six percent, with a total of 14.7 million participants. (Stats are from the fourteenth annual American Sports Data Superstudy of Sports Participation.)

Who are they?
Authoritarian, direct and frank, Anson and Glauco could appear quite impressive, and are certainly very magnetic characters. Generally wary, they require a certain amount of "proof" before they can commit themselves fully. They are nonetheless curious and can even be known to take risks, because they welcome novelty and change. They are actually torn between two contradictory influences. The first pushes them to seek security, protection and stability while the second encourages them to surpass themselves; they need to set their sights ever further and higher in order to advance in life and are given to question their own motivations and thereby improve themselves. These two attitudes to life can be observed at different times and tend to affect them alternately. They could prove themselves to be capable of continued effort and stubborn persistence, following a straight and narrow path until the monotony of it all becomes intolerable or they start craving novelty. This pattern is equally applicable to money and we may see them saving every penny for months on end then recklessly spending it all just when you least expect it. They are sociable, friendly and charming, seeking the company of others only to become taciturn and uncommunicative some time later. Wise, bold and daring, they know an opportunity when they see one. They tend to be quite materialistic and are not lacking in common sense. They need to work in order to assert themselves and are incapable of remaining inactive. They are stubborn and tend to believe that if they can do something, then so can anyone else, which can lead to a certain amount of conflict with their loved ones. As children, they can be quite a handful and have difficulty accepting authority. Anson and Glauco can be rather argumentative, however they can be trusted because they are honest and sincere. They are well-suited to sport as well as studies of a scientific nature. Autonomous and independent, they could be tempted to set up shop as soon as possible. It is important for their parents to inculcate the notions of sharing and solidarity.
What do they like?
Extremely ambitious, Anson and Glauco are sensitive to power and money, and possess great business and practical sense. In a relationship, they can be rather possessive and jealous, expecting their partner to fulfil them completely; not being particularly gifted for understanding the meanderings of the female psyche. Life is quite simple as far as they are concerned, and they don´t appreciate complications. They are straight-up and direct, neither romantic nor sentimental.

What do they do?
In general they are likely to choose a lucrative career or one that allows them to exercise a certain power. We can therefore note the following inclinations: sport, police or army..., occupations connected with finance, management, the stock market or banking..., scientific occupations or in relation with the land, mineral resources and oil.

One of the most well-known features of HTML5 is its ability to play video and audio files natively. With HTML5's <video> and <audio> tags, you do not need to have third-party software like Windows Media Player or Real Player to enjoy multimedia content. Your browser should be able to take care of audio and video files out of the box, independent of the system. Unfortunately, due to a lack of consensus, HTML5 specifications don't actually specify the codecs in which the multimedia content must be encoded in. This is similar to how to image tag works – the image tag can be used to embed images in all popular image formats including BMP, JPEG, GIF, and PNG. Initially, Internet Explorer and Apple supported the proprietary H.264 technology for the video tag, and Opera and Mozilla backed Ogg Theora. While H.264 posed licensing challenges, Ogg Theora was widely believed to be an inferior solution. Google tried to solve the conundrum by stepping in and proposing WebM, which uses a superior VP8 video codec and Vorbis Ogg audio codec. For audio tag also something similar happened with some browsers throwing their weight behind Ogg and others supporting AAC.
Now, Mozilla is proposing a new audio format called Opus as an alternative to Ogg and AAC formats that have emerged as the de facto choices for the audio tag. Opus is a completely free audio format that was developed by collaboration between members of the IETF Internet Wideband Audio Codec working group, which includes Mozilla, Microsoft, Xiph.Org, Broadcom, and Octasic.
Mozilla is promising better quality to size ratio for Opus than its competitors. According to its tests, Opus is the best-in-class for live streaming and static file playback. In fact, it is being heralded as the first audio codec to be well-suited for both interactive and non-interactive applications. Mozilla's listening tests show that at 64 kbps, Opus sounds better than both HE-AAC and Vorbis, and a 64 kbps Opus file sounds as good as a 96 kbps MP3 file.
Mozilla is adding support for Opus with Firefox 15 beta, and is hoping that other browser manufacturers will follow suit.

Liverpool slumped to a closely-fought 1-0 defeat in their Europa League encounter away at Anzhi Makhachkala in the Stadion Lokomotiv on Thursday night.
The hosts took a barely deserved lead in the 45th minute when Lacina Traore dinked the ball over his head and past Sebastian Coates before calmly looping an effort over the onrushing Brad Jones for the only goal of the game.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers used the trip to Russia as a chance to rotate his squad, with only Jones and Andre Wisdom surviving from their 1-1 draw against Newcastle on Sunday.
This meant Joe Cole was handed a rare start, while Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing and Jonjo Shelvey all returned to the side, with youngster Connor Coady handed his first competitive start by the club and Jon Flanagan and Adam Morgan coming into the side.
Anzhi Makhachkala boss Guus Hiddink kept faith with a first XI which included the familiar names of Samuel Eto'o, Yuri Zhirkov and giant striker Traore.
After a bright start by the visitors, restricting Anzhi's movement, they fashioned their first opening in the 23rd minute when Morgan played in Henderson in behind the back four, but instead of electing to shoot, the England international tried to play it across the box and Joao Carlos got back in time to intercept and clear.
The game burst to life in the 35th minute, though, when Zhirkov broke away from Wisdom down the right before finding Eto'o inside the area, who brought a stunning save out of Jones high to his right to keep the scores level.
Anzhi didn't have to wait much longer to take the lead and it came right on the stroke of half-time when Traore flicked the ball over Coates when the ball was fired into him from Mbark Boussoufa before running onto it and lobbing Jones for a superbly well-taken goal just before the break.
The second period followed a similar pattern to the first, with Liverpool sitting deep and looking to break on the counter, but Anzhi almost extended their lead just before the hour mark, with Traore driving just past the post from well outside the area with a powerful effort on his left foot.
They missed a golden opportunity to grab another in the 75th minute when Traore nodded a fantastic ball in from the left by Rasim Tagirbekov straight at Jones, when it looked easier to score than find the goalkeeper.
This prompted an instant response from the visitors, when Vladimir Gabulov spilled a vicious strike from Suso from long range before doing better with Cole's follow-up effort when the midfielder tried to dink it over.
With the game becoming increasingly open, Traore missed another excellent chance shortly afterwards after being played through one-on-one by a long ball over the top, but his arrowed shot just failed to find the bottom far corner.
Despite trying their best to muster some sort of late attack, though, Anzhi were able to hold on comfortably for the win and are now top of Group A with seven points, while the Reds sit just below them on six.

New England governors to expand region's pipeline capacity for more gas, reduced energy costs
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) � New England governors have announced a plan to expand the region's pipeline capacity to deliver more natural gas and cut energy costs.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage said Thursday he and the governors of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont have asked the region's grid operator to help as the states seek proposals for transmission equipment and public works to deliver enough electricity to serve 1.2 million to 3.6 million homes.
The proposal also would develop a way to finance pipeline construction to bring natural gas from Pennsylvania and adjacent areas to New England.
LePage said the initiative will help cut costs in New England by capitalizing on more competitive energy sources.
The governors agreed Dec. 5 to develop a regional energy strategy to reduce costs and boost reliability and efficiency.

Singapore is ranked 3rd in the 2012 Global Innovation Index, co-published by INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), behind Sweden and Switzerland
Singapore: Singapore has received recognition in five global tracking studies in the area of innovation and research and development (R&D). After 20 years of long term commitment to science and technology planning and investments, these indicators provide validation that Singapore is forging ahead towards becoming Asia's Innovation Capital.
Singapore is ranked 3rd in the 2012 Global Innovation Index, co-published by Insead and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), behind Sweden and Switzerland; ranked top in the 2012 Global Innovation Policy Index (GPII) by Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) and is ranked 2nd in the 2012 World Economic Forum Competitive Report.
Mr Lim Chuan Poh, chairman, A*STAR, said, "Singapore's journey in R&D is relatively young but one pursued with strong support and commitment from the government and the research community. The various rankings indicate that we are headed in the right direction and we are encouraged by such positive feedback. A*STAR is proud of how far Singapore has come in R&D and will continue to work hard to position Singapore as Asia's Innovation Capital."
"Innovation is without borders. It is important that we collaborate actively to raise the standards of the innovation process and speed at which research can be translated to economic and societal impact. This Singapore-US Innovation Conference aims to bring together key research performers, thought leaders and policy makers from both countries to advance ideas in R&D management and the national innovation framework. We are privileged to count the US as our long standing partner in setting and achieving high bars of outcomes from investments in scientific enterprise," added Dr Raj Thampuram, MD, A*STAR.

Russian teacher and writer; born at Hodava, Russian Poland, 1819; died at Warsaw March, 1897. He studied Talmud at Tomashov, where Phinehas-Mendel Heilprin exercised a beneficial influence on his education. In 1850 Mendelsburg was appointed government teacher at the Jewish public school in Novograd-Volhynsk; and in 1854 he was transferred to the rabbinical school at Jitomir, where he remained until the closing of that school by the government (July 1, 1873). He then settled in Koretz, and later removed to Warsaw. From 1850 Mendelsburg was a constant contributor in German to the "Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums," in which he published valuable papers on the life of the Jews in Russia. He published also "Dichtung und Warhheit" (Leipsic, 1862), a volume of sketches of Russo-Jewish life.

One of the LA Galaxy's most important acquisitions during the 2009 season was Gregg Berhalter. The World Cup and Bundesliga veteran provided instant stability and much-needed leadership along the back line, and the Galaxy rode that all the way to MLS Cup.
Berhalter, however, was not around for the start of the 2010 season, forced to battle and overcome an offseason knee injury. And while the Galaxy did well in his absence – three shutouts in their first three games, all wins – it was just a matter of time before he was needed.
Injury sidelined Brazilian import Leonardo before the Galaxy's April 17 match against Real Salt Lake, but second-year man A.J. DeLaGarza was able to step into central defense admirably.
But on April 24 against Kansas City it was Berhalter's turn. With his match fitness finally back, he stepped into the starting lineup against the Wizards, making his 2010 MLS debut in a Galaxy shutout and a scoreless draw.
Just like old times for Berhalter.
"It's just about when guys are back and when they're called upon to get the job done," he said. "It was good to get a shutout but we didn't win the game, so we're looking for a better performance on Saturday."
Berhalter figures to start again in the middle this Saturday against the Philadelphia Union, who will pay a visit to Home Depot Center.
Leonardo is still sidelined with a thigh issue, but Berhalter formed one-fourth of a strong defensive line. With Todd Dunivant and DeLaGarza on the flanks and Omar Gonzalez alongside Berhalter, the unit was a familiar one for the veteran.
Pairing with Gonzalez was a similar scenario, although he said last season's Rookie of the Year had continued his development.
"We played with that back four consistently last year so it was just normal," he said. "He's a lot calmer this year and I think he's just done well. We look for him as a solid part of this team and that's what it's about. That's what role he has to step into."
The Galaxy may enter Saturday's game as favorites – the Union, after all, are 1-3 and winless on the road – but Berhalter is not about to overlook them.
"First of all, I think Philly is a good team. I think they've gotten some unlucky results but they're not bad. It's going to be a good game for us and we're going to need all of our concentration to beat them."
One of the Union's weaknesses thus far has been their inability to stop opponents from scoring. In each of their four games, the Union has allowed two goals.
The Galaxy failed to score in Saturday's draw against Kansas City but could find Philadelphia's defense somewhat welcoming.
"We've been on track. Last game was a bit of an anomaly because the pitch was very tight, it was a very tight game and there weren't many chances for either team," he said. "I look at the other games, we've been scoring two goals and we've been on track. We had a little setback not scoring but we'll be fine."
Philadelphia could pose some problems. While the team hasn't been able to stop opponents from scoring, the Union's attack has scored five goals in their last three games.
And while scoring star Sébastian Le Toux might not play, other players such as Roger Torres and Fred could give the Galaxy's defense fits.
"They have some quality players, no doubt," Berhalter said. "I watch them, and they have some exciting players. And they pose a good challenge for us, and we're going to have to be ready."
