The Brine Lacrosse Dynasty Rise lacrosse stick is a stick for beginners. The deep pocket and low sidewalls provide good ball hold. The wide hitting surface makes catching easy. Hitting ground balls is also easier due to the U-shaped scoop.
Advantages of Brine Lacrosse Dynasty Rise Lacrosse Stick:
Choosing the right lacrosse head from the (vast number) many available on CaptainLax.com can be a tough task. The angle, stiffness, width and weight are all important aspects to look at when selecting your new lacrosse head. Below is a brief description of the most important characteristics.
Probably the most popular head in lacrosse today, the Offset lacrosse head has revolutionized the way we play the game. The offset lacrosse head drops down at the throat (where the head meets the handle) of the lacrosse head, allowing for a lower position of the ball and pocket on the head. A forward cant lacrosse head is also angled down at the throat of the stick. Offset/Froward Cant lacrosse heads are designed to give the player maximum feel and control when carrying the ball, as well as great ball retention enabling quicker passing and shooting.
Onset lacrosse heads extend straight on out from the handle, where as Offset, Cant, and Curved heads all slope downwards. With new lacrosse technology developing, fewer Onset heads are used by the top lacrosse players. However, Onset lacrosse heads are great for beginning lacrosse players who are learning the proper fundamentals and skills vital to the game of lacrosse.
*All of the above mentioned lacrosse heads are used by all lacrosse players of all positions with the exception of the goaltender.
Stiffness and flexibility are the two main categories which manufacturers concentrate on when designing new lacrosse heads. However, different lacrosse players like to play with different kinds of lacrosse heads. Some stiff heads may be heavier than other more flexible heads. For example, a defenseman may want to play with a stiffer head for more effective checking, where as another defenseman may want a more flexible head for picking up loose groundballs. The same can be said for all lacrosse positions. Stiffness and flexibility are all based on the preferences of the lacrosse player. You can't go wrong with either choice.
Lacrosse heads have become more and more narrow in recent years. Again, some lacrosse players prefer narrow lacrosse heads, while others prefer wider heads. An attackman may want to play with a narrower lacrosse head to maximize ball retention and to protect the ball from defensive checks. Another attackman may want to play with a wider head for an easier catch in a tight situation near the crease. A defenseman may choose to play with a wider lacrosse head in an effort to deflect passes, and also make it easier to catch. Most lacrosse heads with narrow or shapes are designed for the more advanced lacrosse players, purely because it is harder to catch with a narrower lacrosse head compared to a wider head.
Very easy. Click on your mesh and follow the self-explanatory instruction.

The Anoka-Hennepin school district in Minnesota does not allow teachers to discuss homosexuality in school. Gay, or perceived to be gay, students say the so-called "neutrality" policy creates a toxic environment for them in school. Four teens, who are suing the district to get the policy changed, recently spoke to Anderson Cooper about the horrors they face every single day. The district declined to speak to AC 360° about their allegations citing the ongoing litigation but in May, the district's superintendent Dennis Carlson defended the policy to CNN saying, "All the students come with parents in this community and parents have a wide range of beliefs. We serve them all."

This chapter gives us the history of the reign of Joash, which does not answer to that glorious beginning of it which we had an account of in the foregoing chapter; he was not so illustrious at forty years old as he was at seven, yet his reign is to be reckoned one of the better sort, and appears much worse in Chronicles (2 Chr. 24) than it does here, for there we find the blood of one of God's prophets laid at his door; here we are only told,
The general account here given of Joash is,
We have here an account of the repairing of the temple in the reign of Joash.
When Joash had revolted from God and become both an idolater and a persecutor the hand of the Lord went out against him, and his last state was worse than his first.

Former advisers are emphasizing the many aspects of the bill that are not connected to the mandate, like the subsidies to buy insurance. Some aides even argue privately that losing the mandate could be a political boon, because it would rob Republicans of their core complaint against the law.Yeah, that's what I've been saying. Plus, Obama would get a new issue: The Supreme Court has too many conservative activists and needs re-balancing; a Democrat should make the next appointment(s). And if the decision goes the other way, Romney will have the corresponding arguments: 1. We need a President who will sign the repeal of Obamacare, and 2. The Supreme Court has too many liberals who don't respect the Constitution and we need a conservative President to re-balance it.
Back to Kantor:
Before he became president, critics said that Mr. Obama's greatest achievement was his own rise, that he played it safe — sometimes voting "present" in the Illinois State Senate — rather than taking risks for what he really believed....Well, if he loses the Supreme Court case, he's got to pick himself up and look like he's ready to keep fighting. Both candidates will say they're the one to redo health care reform, and Obama is going to need to say he's the one we ought to trust. He can't be a sadsack about how hard he worked and now it's all lost. He can't be all: I could have listened to Rahm and Joe... I could have coasted a voted 'present'...
In the White House, many of his top advisers, including Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his first chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, counseled Mr. Obama against a sweeping health care overhaul. By summer 2009, with the country still stunned by economic crisis and Republicans falsely raising the specter of death panels, some aides practically begged the president to scale back, take interim steps and move on to other issues.
Mr. Obama did not relent...
As the brutal fight continued, the president sacrificed more and more in its name: an overhaul of energy and environmental laws, greater focus on economic issues, some of his own popularity and that of House Democrats, who eventually lost their hard-won majority....
As he awaits the decision, Mr. Obama has no more knowledge of or influence on it than any of the other lawyers handicapping the odds in Washington bars and boardrooms.Yeah, yeah, that is meaningless to me. (And I'm a law professor.) It's not that he unshakably knows the real constitutional law answer because he's a scholar. He's a partisan who's taken a position and he's saying things about the law in the advocate mode. Scathing... no merit whatsoever... That's just banal lawyer talk. It's a difficult question, and it can be answered, with eloquence and internal coherence, either way.
The former law professor turned president is scathing about the argument that the mandate violates the Constitution, saying it has no merit whatsoever.
Have you ever noticed that I — a law professor, not a policy partisan — have never opined on the constitutionality of Obamacare. Glenn Loury pushed me to give an answer on Bloggingheads, and here's how I responded:
The commenters over there are so hostile to to me that one actually wishes that I would "go HIV positive or Full Metal Influenza." Challenged, he offers a longer list of diseases. A more normal person writes: "I can't believe what I'm hearing. Glenn asked Ann whether she thinks the Affordable Health Care Act is constitutional and she basically offers no opinion. She hasn't even blogged on the issue! Isn't she suppose to be a constitutional law professor?" The answer is yes, and that's precisely the point. I study the Court. I don't take the lawyer role and perform the theater of acting like there's a true answer and I know it. The Court will say what the law is. I'm about having a discussion of the topic.
ADDED: If I had to be a judge, I could do it. I can say without bullshitting what judicial nominees always say at the confirmation hearings: I can't tell you what I'd decide until I'm in the real situation of having responsibility for deciding a case. They might be bullshitting, but it's honestly the way I feel. I have too much respect for the process to register a vote for one side or the other in a difficult case. That said, some cases are easy. This one is not.

CDC: Flu seems to level off except in the West
Associated Press
The Petoskey News-Review
New government figures show that flu cases seem to be leveling off nationwide. Flu activity is declining in most regions although still rising in the West.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says hospitalizations and deaths spiked again last week, especially among the elderly. The CDC says quick treatment with antiviral medicines is important, in particular for the very young or old. The season's first flu case resistant to treatment with Tamiflu was reported Friday.
Eight more children have died from the flu, bringing this season's total pediatric deaths to 37. About 100 children die in an average flu season.
There is still vaccine available although it may be hard to find. The CDC has a website that can help.

A new Scops owl has just been described from Príncipe, an island in the Gulf of Guinea. Scientists confirmed its presence in 2016, although suspicions of its occurrence date from 1998. Testimony from locals suggests they knew of the bird as early as 1928. The Príncipe Scops-owl, Otus bikegila, was described based on morphology, plumage characters, vocalisations and genetics. Vocalisations of this species represented an important trait to differentiate it from other species of Otus. Extensive field surveys lead to the recommendation that this species should be listed as 'Critically Endangered'.

At 10am Amsterdam time today we will start updating the taxonomy for the birds to IOC11.2. XC will be down for a few hours during that update.
... and we're back. There seems to be a problem with the https ... we're looking into that ... bear with us for a while. Lots of taxonomic fall-out from this update, not all of the necessary changes can be made by the update script.
.... several statistics take some time to update, so those may be slightly or completely off at this moment, script still running ...
... and we encountered an issue there unfortunately.... We're back to where we were! And we are looking into it. If you uploaded a recording during the brief time we were running the updated taxonomy, please have another go.
... so, the update hit a snag. Next try tomorrow!

Jayrson Araujo de Oliveira has been steadily adding more and more material from Brazil over the last five years, and has just passed the 1000 species mark! Thanks for sharing, Jayrson!
.... some really nice contributions mark the start of 2023. Quite a few people are uploading .wavs now (yes you can!). For example Paul Driver with a set from Central America and Oliver Fowler with a cool set from Kenya. Quite a few other contributions from Africa as well. Another noteworthy contribution is by Jelle Scharringa with recordings from the early 80's from SE Asia. Some of the oldest recordings on XC in fact. Recordings from China keep coming in as well. Another great set from Ireland, people trying out the Grasshopper section..... Some good ID checking as well on the forum of recordings already there. Great! Thanks for contributing everyone!
... somewhere next week we will upgrade the birds-taxonomy of XC from IOC 10.1 to IOC 11.2. In this upgrade about 150+ new species are introduced, part splits, part genuinely new. XC will be down for a while. We'll let you know when that will be a bit in advance.
why not to version 12.1?
or even version 12.2?
... because we are not ready with the files that describe the changes & the new names, and most importantly not ready with the maps for that yet. Rolf has made new maps for all the species and splits involved in this update. * A massive effort *. We do strive to keep up but not in real time! I will say, the files have been lying around for a while, while we were doing other things. Let's see when the update to IOC12.2 will be :-)
You've actually done most of the hard graft (v11.2 alone saw 100 new species recognized!).
v12.1 only has 18 splits and 2 lumps and v12.2 only has 14 splits and 9 lumps so these should be fairly easily dealt with (depending on how much time Rolf has) :>)
v13.1 (due later this month) is another bit of a big one, though, with 60 splits and 12 lumps.
..... you're quite right Shaun. & possibly Rolf has made some more maps... not sure. In any case, we've really improved the process on our side, so perhaps we can catch up at some point :-)

Artifacts of the disco age go up for auction
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A trove of memorabilia from Studio 54 is going up for bid in an auction that is resurrecting those long-ago nights at the iconic 1970s clubhouse with a legacy greater than its lifespan.
Mementos kept by the late Studio 54 co-owner Steve Rubell, including paparazzi photographs, letters and artwork once belonging to the New York club's A-list guests, are being auctioned off today in West Palm Beach.
The items give a fascinating glimpse of life at 54: author Fran Lebowitz shoulder-to-shoulder with pop artist Andy Warhol. A stone-faced Frank Sinatra staring off in the distance. Diana Ross, arms flailing on the dance floor. Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Cher — and on and on and on.
Rubell's partner, Bill Hamilton, finally decided to part with the treasures, more than 23 years after Rubell's death at the age of 45. The boxes of newspaper clippings, photographs and everything else had spent decades in their apartment on West 55th Street in Manhattan, where Hamilton still lives.
Giving up the items was hard, said Hamilton, who was too young to ever enjoy Studio 54 himself. He decided to auction them, in part, because he got married last year and wanted to shed some of his possessions. But as he took a final look at the photos, he was reminded of Rubell's generosity and how much fun he helped create.
"He really just wanted you to have a good time. And he might have just met you and he invited you into the club, but he was going to make sure you remember it," he said. "These people from 1978, 1979 are still living those nights."
Rubell and Ian Shrager opened Studio 54 in 1977 and sold it in 1981, after they "got out of camp," as they called prison, where they served time on charges of federal income-tax evasion. It continued operating under different management for years afterward.
"They just pushed the envelope every single night," Hamilton said.
The club's memories are captured in hand-scrawled notes from its guests, such as one from Farrah Fawcett to Rubell that says "Dearest Steve, Thank you for a fabulous weekend. You made it work!" Or the telegram from Yves St. Laurent to Rubell, inviting him to a black-tie celebration of his perfume Opium.
Most of the dozens and dozens of photographs were taken by news outlets or paparazzi and it's not known how many copies exist. But there's a handful of one-of-a-kind Polaroids shot by Warhol, making them the most valuable of the bunch.
Altogether, the collection broadens the public portrait of Rubell, known to many younger people only through Mike Myers' portrayal of him in the movie "54."
"I'm left with the belief that there was an energy with the way Rubell would put together these groups of people every night," said auctioneer Rico Baca of Palm Beach Modern Auctions, which is handling the sale. "And this energy comes out in these photographs."
Among the pricier objects on the auction block is a metal sculpture by Warhol of dollar signs, which was given to Rubell, and is estimated to fetch up to $50,000. There's also a Warhol drawing of Studio 54 drink tickets, estimated to go for up to $150,000, and a painted portrait of Rubell by Michael Vollbracht given to the club impresario on his 35th birthday, with an estimated value of up to $20,000.
Also being sold are drink tickets, posters, invitations and even Rubell's personal address book.
And, perhaps most interestingly, the key to the fortress itself, Rubell's tattered front-door reservation book, which held his jotted notes on each night's guest list.
The book is filled with famous names and notations on whether the guest's bill would be footed by the club.

An officer guards the gate near at the entrance of Cat Haven, the exotic animal park in central California where a 26-year old female volunteer intern was killed by a lion, Wednesday, March 6, 2013 in Dunlap, Calif. Credit: AP
DUNLAP, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities are trying to determine what provoked a lion at an exotic animal park in Central California to attack and maul to death a 24-year-old woman, who had been on the job as an intern there for just a few weeks.
The woman was attacked and killed Wednesday when she entered the male African lion's enclosure at Cat Haven about 45 miles east of Fresno, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies responding to an emergency call from Cat Haven found the woman severely injured and still lying inside the enclosure with the lion nearby, Fresno County sheriff's Lt. Bob Miller said.
Another park worker couldn't lure the lion into another pen, so deputies shot and killed it to safely reach the wounded woman. But she died at the scene, Miller said.
Paul Hanson, a Seattle-area attorney, identified the victim as his daughter Dianna Hanson of Brier, Wash. He said he drove his daughter from her home on New Year's Day, arriving at Cat Haven Jan. 2.
"She was very excited," Hanson told The Associated Press late Wednesday. "It was just a dream job for her."
Hanson said she had been fascinated by big cats from an earlier age.
"She was absolutely fearless," he said.
Cat Haven founder and executive director Dale Anderson was crying as he read a one-sentence statement about the fatal mauling at the private zoo he has operated since 1993.

Investigators were trying to determine why the intern was inside the enclosure and what might have provoked the attack, sheriff's Sgt. Greg Collins said. The facility is normally closed on Wednesdays, and only one other worker was there when the mauling happened, he said.
This Oct. 12, 2012 photo released by JP Marketing shows a 4-year-old male African lion named Couscous at Cat Haven, a private wild animal park in Dunlap, Calif. Authorities say the lion killed a female intern-volunteer on Wednesday, March 6, 2013, at Cat Haven, where the cat had been raised since it was a cub.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Janice Mackey said she was unaware if any state regulations would prohibit an employee from entering an exotic animal's enclosure.
The lion, a 4-year-old male named Cous Cous, had been raised at Cat Haven since it was a cub, said Tanya Osegueda, a spokeswoman for Project Survival, the nonprofit that operates the animal park.
Since the 100-acre facility just west of Kings Canyon National Park opened two decades ago, it has housed numerous big cats, including tigers, leopards and other exotic species. It is permitted to house exotic animals by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and is regulated as a zoo by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Results of the last 13 USDA inspections show no violations dating back to March 2010. The most recent inspection was Feb. 4.
Despite state regulations requiring annual inspections, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife most recently inspected the facility in January 2011, when the inspector found it in "good condition" after checking animal health and features such as enclosures.
"We have to do the best we can with the resources we're provided," said department spokeswoman Jordan Traverso. "Regardless of whether it was inspected, that wouldn't have prevented this from happening."
Cat Haven's current "restricted species" permit, which expires in November, states the park was authorized to house 47 animals but had only 28. The animals must be used for scientific or educational purposes.
Actress Tippi Hedren, who founded the Shambala Preserve in Southern California, home to 53 seized or abandoned exotic pets, expressed dismay over the killing of the lion.
"It wasn't the lion's fault. It's the human's fault always," Hedren said.
Nicole Paquette, vice president of the Humane Society of the United States, said the victim of Wednesday's attack should never have been in the enclosure with the animal.
"These are big cats that are extremely dangerous, and they placed a volunteer in the actual cage with a wild animal," she said. "That should have never happened."
Officials at another big cat sanctuary, Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Fla., told The Associated Press last year that at least 21 people, including five children, have been killed and 246 mauled by exotic cats in the United States since 1990. Over that period, 254 cats escaped and 143 were killed.
In 2007, a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo was killed by police after jumping out of its enclosure and fatally mauling a 17-year-old boy and injuring two other people.
Cat Haven has housed Bengal tigers, jaguars and leopards as well as bobcats native to the area. The facility's website says it promotes conservation and preservation of wild cats in their native habitats and offers visitors tours and educational outreach.
Anderson said Project Survival would investigate to see if the intern and the other worker on-site followed the group's protocols.
"We take every precaution to ensure the safety of our staff, animals and guests," he said in a statement.
Associated Press writers Kathy McCarthy in Seattle, Garance Burke in San Francisco and Sue Manning in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Josh Hartnett
Yearly Forecast for 2023
Josh Hartnett is an American actor and producer, best known for his role as Michael Fitzgerald in the television crime drama series Cracker, and for his role in the slasher film Halloween H20:.
He was born on Friday July 21st 1978, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States.
After last year's constant involvement with himself and very possible occasional doubts about the state of his business or career Josh Hartnett will find 2023 to be a relief. Things finally work out. Long postponed checks and promotions come through. Josh sees the light at the end of his financial tunnel and an inner strength and confidence is breaking through. This is Hartnett's year of harvest and, depending on the effort he put out in the past seven years, his reward will be equally large.
There is a beauty in these cycles we can recognize and understand and in doing so we find ourselves 'in the flow' and there is no more need to try and struggle upstream. So this year Josh Hartnett will have an opportunity to involve himself fully in work and material growth and bring home the rewards, at the same time a certain detachment is also necessary - for Josh and for the experience he has because it is not the reward that brings him happiness but his experience of life, which is why before the rewarding eight year Hartnett has had such opportunity for growth during the soul-searching cycle of the seventh year.
Once Josh Hartnett gives in to his ambitions, he will find himself more clear and focused and able to pursue and reach his goals. Josh's power is visible and strong, mental creativity is high, vision and intuition will guide him, and at the same time he is more efficient and focused.
There can be loss, serious loss, bankruptcy and failure, because the rewards are always directly proportionate to Hartnett's effort and motivation. However Josh Hartnett knows the effort he put out and he knows his motivations, so there must be no room for fear and doubt, only for success and winning and 2023 will undoubtedly turn out to be a very satisfying year.
Let's take a look now at Josh's monthly forecast for January 2023.
You and Josh
About Josh's Personal Year Cycle
In numerology, each year of Josh's life is part of an evolving pattern that can be described as a nine-year cycle or epicycle. These cycles begin at Josh Hartnett's birth and progress, one by one, through nine steps that complete an epicycle, and then begin again.

PoultryNet® 12/42/3 Electric Netting
A prefabricated, portable electric fence that has 12 horizontal strands (11 conductive), is 42" tall installed and has string verticals every 3". Built-in line posts are spaced every 12'.
Keeps in chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry while keeping their ground-based predators out. Recommended for containing heavy, non-flying birds.
Arrives to your door as a preassembled fence. One roll (164 ft) weighs only 23 lbs. You will need a fence energizer to electrify the net.
Which PoultryNet® is right for you?We offer many fences to fit your situation, including complete kits, different heights and lengths, multiple colors, drivable posts and positive/negative options for dry soils. Visit this link to compare all PoultryNet options.
No extra gates needed. Just turn off the energizer and pull the first post to create an opening. For added convenience, a PoultryNet® Gate can be used to provide easy access without the need to turn the energizer off.

Electric fence is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. A common mistake is not electrifying it. Animals may escape or become entangled (and may die). On a % basis, entanglement is very rare, but it can and does occur. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in. The first time you put the animals in the net, you should be available to watch them for a while. That way if one were to get into the fence and get caught, you can turn the power off and get them loose.
Netting must be moved when tall grass covers the lower "hot" strands. The alternative? Apply a strip of herbicide to kill vegetation.
Warning! Due to risk of fire, do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting or electro-plastic conductors such as rope, twine or tape. Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier's website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.
Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing. Ice and heavy snow can flatten netting and thereby damage it.
Dry or frozen ground may cause post spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed. We recommend using drivable or single spike posts in hard soils. Double spike posts provide more stability when the ground is soft.
With PoultryNet, the bottom hot wire can slip off of the plastic portion of the end posts onto the metal spikes. This will cause a dead short and no energy will be on the fence. Unhook the energizer and slide the hot wire back onto the post. Reconnect the energizer to the net and test.
Listed below are recommended optional components. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our fence consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

This fence works great! We purchased the double spike in hopes that it would stand up in our soggy clay soil and they do. We did need to purchase poly fence posts to alleviate the droop between the netting posts because we wanted the extra length of this fence over the PLUS fence. It keeps the laying chickens in their area and keeps the feral cats, raccoon, fox, and coyotes out (we know it's working because you can see animal tracks up to and away from the fence). It only took one hen to test the fence for all the others to know to keep away too. It's been really nice to not have to coop up and count the chickens at night - they can come and go as they please.
Brenda A from NC
Use the netting all the time. Move it around the garden to keep my free rangers out. In the winter I keep them enclosed in it. Works great!
Susan L from New York
Bought the 164' poultry net so my chickens can have several yards to go into (the first yard can now get seeded for the next rotation). Kept a neighbors dog out, sooo easy to install!We attached the electric to our pigs yard that's 10' away, so didn't have to buy a new fence charger. Will be buying another one when the next 36 hens come in April!
sara k from Vermont
LOVE this product. It was so simple to put up. I ordered the double spike and it was easy to put in the ground. I just laid it out the way I wanted it and in it went. The fence has lots of stability. If you're looking for a simple and moveable fence for chickens or poultry, you should definitely give this fencing a try. It's exactly what I'd been searching for.
Victor W from NC
I let my chickens free range, but they get on my porch and make a mess. This is perfect. Took my wife and I 10 minutes to set up. They need to make a gate.

Proponents of proposition 102 spent a whopping 8 million dollars to ban marriage between gay and lesbian couples in the state of Arizona. They exercised their right to use their money as they saw fit, and now we will exercise ours, by boycotting and exposing those who imposed bigotry on decent tax-paying American families.
The Tuscon Observer has created a comprehensive listing they obtained from the campaign finance reports showing who supported and opposed prop 102 financially.

Arizona Prop 102 Supporting Bigots Exposed

Ya know that's just wrong to list people who voted against you and to blacklist them. What you LGBT people are trying to do hearkens back to the days of McCarthyism and the days when people were targeted for being unamerican. Do you people want to do that because if you do, it's going to backfire on you guys and knock down what ever gains you have made because of your way of branding and doing what Sen McCarthy did back in the 50's.

Nicky-These people are destroying our lives, we have every right to know who they are and to boycott them.
- November 24, 2008 at 1:16 PM
Nicky, there is no analogy between the two activities. These people have exercised their right to free speech by supporting this ugly amendment. And now they have to accept that there are very often consequences for what we say. The GLBT community has every right to now exercise THEIR right to free speech. And if that free speech includes boycotting bigots, that is their right as well.
Just as you people did with the Black community, you want the gay community to just take whatever you dole out and sit quietly, with our eyes lowered, grateful for any crumb. We've done that for far too long.

At what expense do you want as a community. By boycotting and blacklisting people to the point that the backlash you may end up getting is far worse than losing the rights and gains you made. By doing what Sen McCarthy did back in the 50's is going to have a chilling effect and can backfire on you guys and as a result, you could lose all what you strive and gain for.
So do the people who like to know who support your proposition and those who financed and payed for the proposition. It goes both ways because you people can boycott those that supported the bill and their are those who can boycott those who were against it.
So it's a total loss for both sides if you are going down that road. if you gona boycott and blacklist those who were against you. Their are people who are gona boycott and blacklist those who supported you. So there's a no win situation their.

I'm from California, and as you all know we suffered a defeat with Prop 8. My feelings on this are as follows..... I wish that people, churches and companies outside of the state should not be able to support any type of legislation within the state. In other words....Utah, the LDS Church, and individuals & companies in other states should not be able to financially or verbally support something that does not concern them. I hope you understand what I mean. Rik, Orange CA

Being homophobic and supporting legislation that hypocritically denies that we are suppose to be a secular nation is something people have to be held accountable for. Everyone has the right to their opinions - but the rest of society has the right to acknowledge these opinions and call out bigots.
I am all for people having a wide variety of ideologies and political beliefs, but I think we have to make the distinction between POLITICAL issues and personal, "moral" issues/"values". If you are ignorant enough to think that queer people shouldn't get married, whatever- that's fine. BUT these bigots should not be able to dictate what rights the LGBTIQ community gets and they should not be able to legislate "moral" laws that demote people to second class citizen status just because THEIR RELIGION (not mine, maybe not yours, definitely not America's) is foolishly discriminatory...
I am just sick and tired of everyone defending those that are most ignorant and bias instead of those that are constantly being discriminated against. It probably makes me a horrible 'activist' but I am in no way trying to politely and sweetly sway peoples opinions..it might be shitty but i do not feel like it is my job to persuade people to let me live my life the way I see fit... if someone is going to be a bastard and try to demote me to a second class citizen, then I am going to make it public and let them know their bias opinions make other people mad...if my approach is 'bull dog' then so be it. I am pissed, and rightfully so.
The propositions that passed in California, Arizona, and Florida were not based off of any legal baring or constitutional laws, but on Christian ideals. Its bullshit. Supposedly we do not live in a nation whose laws are influenced by religion, yet our stances on a lot of social issues, especially as pertains to LGBTQI folks, are on par with nations that are religious monarchies. Its hypocritical and wrong and those who supported the passing of these Propositions did NOT base their opinions on some American conservative political ideology - they based their decisions on hatred and wanting to oppress those that do not follow societal 'norms'. For that, these folks deserve to be called out.
As Thomas Jefferson said, "Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."
- November 24, 2008 at 2:14 PM
I agree that everyone who supported Prop.8 should be boycotted. If they don't want us to have equal rights, thern they certainly don't deserve any of MY money!!!!

So if a law was passed that DIRECTLY affected you, would you want to spend your money at business' that supported the passing of that law?
As an extreme example, if a law were passed that said everyone named Nicky couldn't take a day off on Saturday or Sunday but had to take Wednesday and Friday off would you want to spend money at the business' that helped pass that law?
The boycott is in place so that we don't spend our money at places that financed Prop 102 in AZ and Prop 8 in CA. What is wrong with me wanting to know where NOT to spend MY money?
As an example I choose to not shop at Walmart because of the unfair ways they have treated their employees. That is MY decision on where to spend MY money. It has nothing to do with where you or anyone else chooses to shop.
The lists of business' and people who supported these discriminatory propositions allow me to know who to not financially support and has nothing to do, on my part anyway, with any "Witch Hunt"... oh yeah... those were a Religious persecution too!!!
- November 24, 2008 at 6:16 PM

I also agree, but I would be careful of blacklisting people because it could have a wrong effect and it can end up backfiring on the LGBT community and what ever gains you made will be lost because the way your blacklisting people.
- November 24, 2008 at 6:18 PM
If a company takes money I spend on their product and spends it supporting legislation that gives me second-class civil rights even though I pay taxes at the same rate as anyone else ... you're damned right I'll spend my $ somewhere else.
That's what a boycott is all about. You see, these folks do not see GLBT folk as equal human beings. They see us as something they can control and dictate to. We aren't going to change teh Mormon Church by being nice to them.
If somebody knocked on your door and asked you for money to buy a gun to shoot you with, would you hand it to them? I wouldn't.
- November 24, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Nicky - backfire! Ha! What more can your people do to hurt the GBLT community? You kill, maim, ostracize and demean them at every opportunity now. What is next - slavery?

Just think about it, is boycotting worth for all the gains you made. What are the odds that boycotting will get what you want. Can you safely risk boycotting to get what you want without losing all that you gained. What are you going to do if you lose in the boycott front. What are you going to do if your boycott plans backfire you guys and what are you going to do if you boycott and lose all what you gained for.

You keep asking if we are willing to risk all of the gains we have made by boycotting (NOT blacklisting) anyone we want to for whatever reason we want to, just like actual human beings.
Yes, and quit asking if we are willing to risk something we have never been given, except by our Creator (in my case that would be my mother with a bit of help from my father, but you call your Creator whatever you want). Nobody GAVE us any rights for us to lose, just as nobody gave you those same rights and therefore no one can take them away. We have nothing more to lose if we are not treated equally under law, the promise of justice given to every human being equally in this nation.
We are not risking any gained rights particular to us. We have nothing to lose. We will be treated equally in this country, and there is nothing any religious organization can do to stop it no matter how vicious and deceitful they get, no matter how long they delay the inevitable.
We have enemies. We are willing to point them out in the street now. Our enemies don't like that. Too bad. Own your bigotry, bigots, no matter your excuse for having it.
BTW, what rights do you think will be taken away first when the "backfire" comes calling?
I suggest that it will not be rights already protected by law, because that is impossible in the end, but physical safety and lives which will be taken away, and if that's the threat, if that's the price of being tired of being treated lower than shit, then it will only be another escalation, nothing new.

The backfire may come in a form of the people who you blacklisted may come back and fight you so hard that they will take away your rights instead of giving you more rights. They may come back in a form of boycotting your supporters and your people. The worse that could happen, is what ever gains your community has made can all go down the tubes because of the blacklisting of those who voted against you.
- November 25, 2008 at 12:16 AM
Haterosexuals believe they can bully gay people around, take our rights away and we have to be nice through it all because they want to take away more rights. Typical haterosexual thinking.

It truly amazes me that you religionists don't give any thought to how YOUR approach has 'backfired' on you. Instead of attracting people to a religion of loving one's neighbor, your 'Christian' oppression of slaves, and women, and homosexuals repulses more and more people, and many of us are sick and tired of your constant meddling in other people's affairs and judging how others should behave, instead of looking at your own abysmal record. Why is it always the Christians who are on the wrong side of history? All the little Scriptures you quote have become hateful and despicable, for it's the exact same arguments you used to justify slavery, and women's inequality, and Apartheid in South Africa, and to deny Blacks their Civil Rights in this country! Why is it always the 'Christian' nations who are responsible for attrocities such as the witch hunts, the Inquisition, the rape of the Aztec and Inca civilizations and Native North Americans, the Holocaust ... and the list goes on and on, ad nauseum. Always the Christians! When are you people ever going to learn?! I would suggest that YOUR tactics are what has backfired on you! You have made yourself a stench among the human community!!! And then you have the NERVE to come on to gay websites such as this and preach to US!!!!! FCUK YOU!

At what point does this discussion turn from "gay rights" to simple "human rights".
I have not seen any definition of these equality laws that excludes heterosexual human beings from choosing a member of the same sex to marry. This could be done to create a legal opportunity for another person to care for them and have all of the same rights afforded any pair of married people.
If the argument arrises that a marriage must be consummated, does this have to be proven in a "straight" marriage?
I'm only saying this because I don't believe this discussion should be about gay/straight and it certainly shouldn't be about religion. Let not forget out country was founded on the separation of church and state. Now we could argue that marriage should ONLY be a religious institution and not have any legal right attached to it. GAY OR STRAIGHT.

The way I see it, the more you keep pulling the same tactics and same demands, the more society get's sick and tired of them. I think that the tactics that the LGBT community is pulling right now, is going to backfire and come back to haunt them for years and even decades to come. Shouting down at them and blacklisting them is not the way to get what you want in society and what you are doing now, is going to make society think, "why should we give you rights, when our blacklisting society for voting against you" mentality.
So just be honest, do you think your gona get what you want, by protesting against people who voted against you and blacklist those who voted against you. I think it's gona cause the biggest backlash and it's gona backfire on you guys so badly that what ever you gained is all going to be lost.
Politically, I think it's going to make any political party think twice about giving you guys civil and federal rights.
I would say, if you want civil and marriage rights, start lobbying and start forming special interest groups and not protesting and blacklisting of people, because the people you blacklist can come back and black list you and even boycott those who are your supporters.

You are either a retard, thick headed or get enjoyment out of instigating people.
You have no concept what-so-ever of how a minority feels or is treated in this country.
You keep repeating the same stupid shit and do not get on the clue bus when it stops for you.
You said "the more you keep pulling the same tactics and same demands, the more society get's sick and tired of them."
This is EXACTLY what Christians have done for over 2000 years! It took society that long to get tired of you.
You said "I think that the tactics that the LGBT community is pulling right now, is going to backfire and come back to haunt them for years and even decades to come."
There were reports of THOUSANDS of people nationwide that voluntarily left churches of all denominations because they no longer want to belong to a bigoted, repressive and discriminatory organization! HMMMM! Looks like the backfire happened on your side!
You said "going to make society think, why should we give you rights..."
Guess what dumb ass... we don't need you to GIVE us anything. The Constitution has already done that. What we are TAKING BACK are the rights we already have. Society has NOTHING to say about it!
The Constitution promises us freedom from religious pricks like you. If the majority dictates the rights of the minority then it is a DICTATORSHIP not a Republic nor a Democracy!
Now go troll somewhere else!

You and your liberal leftist Army don't know that in the game of politics, their are always going to be winners and losers. You liberal leftist want things now, now, now and don't realize that things take time to change.
Look how long it took to get the black community the same rights as everyone else in America. To get the LGBT community the same rights the Black community gotten, is going to take decades to achieve what the black community gotten.
Which the problem for the LGBT community is that they don't fight on the same level as what the black community did. They want things now, now now.
I think that you guys are just to sore of a loser and can't fight fair, but instead will fight dirty to get what you want.
I hope that when you start lashing out at society and society lashes out at you, I get to sit on the stands and watch you get lashed out by society.

I don't know what rock you have been hiding under but society HAS been lashing out at us for hundred's of years!
The infamous Paragraph 175 had been added to the Reich Penal Code as long ago as 1871, more than 60 years before Hitler took power. It was just one more development in a long line of legislation around the world aimed at punishing homosexuals.
Do you think Hitler only killed Jews? Do some research and you will find out the origin of the pink triangle was a mark on Homosexuals and Lesbians to mark them for experimentation and the furnaces.
In England there is an extensive history of persecuting gays. As long ago as 1290, carrying out homosexual acts was punishable by death.
Wake up and look around you. We have been persecuted, killed and ostracized from society as long as any other minority.
Now, now, now? YEAH! RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
By the way you never answered my question. If a law was passed that DIRECTLY affected you, would you want to spend your money at business' that supported the passing of that law?
If a law were passed that said everyone named Nicky couldn't do something that everyone else could, would you want to spend your money at the business' that helped pass that law?

You and your kind act like gay rights are the same as black community rights. Which neither are the same thing and are not in the same way.
I think your a hyperliberal and someone who needs to take a chill pill. The reality here is that gay rights is going to be a long road and you can't seem to see that. I guess you need to get out of San Francisco and learn that their are other values besides pushing and shoving down people's throats to demand gay marriage.

And you can't seem to see that you are a fucking moron. The proof is that because I am gay you think I live in San Francisco. This happens to be the WORLD WIDE WEB so for all you know I could be living in Zimbabwe.
If you had the brain of a gnat you would see by my screen name that I am in Sacramento dumbass.
By the way loser you still didn't answer my question.

Everyone needs to stop responding to Nicky. He is not intelligent enough to even fight with and really not worth the stress. His argument is basically, 'so what that the heteronormative, christian society has decided to ignore your civil and constitutional rights - deal with it and don't complain or you will annoy [actually, confuse their tiny minds] the ignorant bigots, more.'
It is a ridiculous argument used only by those who are privileged enough to never have been unjustly held down and given second class citizen status, as well as those who do not have the mental capacity to understand the history of interactions between the majority and marginalized. It is very sad that people like him exist, but you can't change such ignorant, stupid minds - he doesn't have the ability to hear anything you are saying because he hasn't evolved to that point. People like him prefer that all marginalized groups just take the discriminatory treatment with a smile because they are morons who are scared of anything outside of their trashy, conservative, bigot world.
This is the fading view-point, in a decade people like him will be laughed at and called backwards morons, like they should be.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and don't let idiots like him bring you down :) I think they are just praying that their ridiculous opinions never become the minority outlook because they are not smart enough to think outside their scope. You should feel sorry for him, (although I understand its hard, being that people like this tend to have too much voice and influence).

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, and hopefully equality will come our way soon :)

Former N.J. Gov. Jim McGreevey says Dharun Ravi should not get jail time. Marcia Clark thinks the sentence is too light.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: 360° Interview • Crime & Punishment • Tyler Clementi
Mr. Ravi clearly contributed to the state of mind of his roommate, now deceased, by his arrogance. Arrogance is not a crime. From a purely civil point of view, however, Mr. Ravi did contribute to his roommate's death. Clearly contributed....a jury should be able to sort out what percentage and Mr. Ravi and family should ante up more than "I'm sorry." Which last statement we haven't heard from this man. His attitude toward life and the privacy of others has also clearly demonstrated, IMHO, that he would be much happier back in India.
Deport him. He lead to the death of a talented, successful American student who deserved privacy. This man is unremorseful and it showed. His mother was a disgrace wailing and ranting that her son had suffered enough. Had she no respect for the family of Tyler Clementi who was sitting there suffering the loss of their beloved son? The judge was way too lenient. My fear is this will now set a precedent for future cases where anyone can bully and harrass someone and it will lead to suicide and the person wiho did the bullying will not be held accountable!
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Derek Medina: Man killed wife, posted photo of her body on Facebook, police say
Suspect says 'I'm going to prison or death sentence' on social media
A South Florida man faces first-degree murder charges after authorities said he shot his wife dead, and then apparently posted a photo of her lifeless body on Facebook.
Miami-Dade police report that 31-year-old Derek Medina turned himself in Thursday, telling them he had shot 26-year-old Jennifer Alfonso in their South Miami home after she said she was leaving him, they got into an argument and she punched him.
LIST: County-by-county homicide rates in Florida
A post on a Facebook page identified as Medina's says, "I'm going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife."
The post claims that his wife was punching him and that he wasn't going to tolerate any more abuse. The photo was up for more than five hours before Facebook took it down late Thursday afternoon.
Several Facebook pages have been created to raise awareness about this crime.
