Target's new gay pride collection "a stupid move," says Minnesota for Marriage
Minnesota for Marriage doesn't like Target's support of this shirt's message. |
Through the end of the month, all proceeds from the collection up to $120,000 will be donated to the pro-marriage equality Family Equality Council.
Unsurprisingly, this week Minnesota for Marriage, the state's leading anti-gay marriage group, blasted the company for rolling out the pro-GLBT collection, especially during the months leading up to a vote on a state constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage.
Frank Schubert, campaign manager for Minnesota for Marriage, told MPR that he views the collection as "really kind of a slap in the face to people of faith and supporters of marriage."
Same-sex marriage opponents "constitute a large majority of people of Minnesota and an overwhelming majority of Target customers," so it's upsetting that the company "would intentionally inject themselves into the marriage campaign," Schubert said.
Last week, Minnesota for Marriage sent e-mails to supporters criticizing corporations like Target for supporting "genderless marriages here in Minnesota" and asking for contributions to protect traditional marriage. Schubert told MPR that the message ended up raising more funds for Minnesota for Marriage than any other e-mail the organization has sent.
"People are upset about it, and they're responding, and we encourage people to let Target know that they're upset," he said. "It was a stupid move on their part and we're going to hold them to account for it."
Target wants to distance itself from the anti-gay perception it cultivated in 2010-11. |
Target, of course, has been a longtime sponsor of the Pride festival held each June. But during the 2010 campaign season, the company seemed to reverse course by giving $150,000 to an anti-gay, pro-Tom Emmer organization, then compounded the controversy by continuing to give to anti-gay politicians afterward.
Bad PR prompted the company to change its political donation policy early last year, making it more difficult for executives like conservative CEO Gregg Stienhafel to funnel money from Target's PAC to the candidates he probably supports as a private citizen.
Despite getting blasted by Minnesota for Marriage for rolling out "Wear It With Pride," Target spokespeople say the company remains committed to its new collection and the pro-gay marriage message it sends.
"Target supports inclusivity and diversity in every aspect of our business and has a long history of supporting the LGBT community through giving, volunteerism and event sponsorship and participation," the company says in a statement. "Target is pleased to be able to bring our guests products they want while, in turn, helping support the LGBT community through the donation of 100 percent of the purchase price to the Family Equality Council."

Professional and comfortable.

Thomas was very thorough and explained everything in an understandable way. He is is very skilled with his hands, and I experienced considerable relief. Further treatment is required and I immediately made the next appointment. I would recommend him without reservation. We visited and now he seems more like a friend than a therapist.

Best Android Smartphones (April 2013 edition)
Time to take a tour of a handful of the best Android smartphones currently available on the market. Here are some killer handsets from Google, Motorola, and Samsung.
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes sifts through the marketing hyperbole and casts his critical eye over the latest technological innovations to find out which products make the grade and which don't.

Time to take a tour of a handful of the best Android smartphones currently available on the market. Here are some killer handsets from Google, Motorola, and Samsung.
Think Tegra is only for smartphones and tablets? Think again! New third-party drivers — which have been developed both with Nvidia's blessing and assistance — will help to give the platform a foot in the server room door.
Microsoft built Windows 8 around the new touch user interface, but it seems that consumers are quite attached to their keyboards and mice.
So why is Google going to all the effort of forking the WebKit rendering engine in order to create Blink? It's down to one thing — the post-PC era that we find ourselves in.
Google changes the way it collects version information about Android, give Jelly Bean a significant usage share boost. However the aging Gingerbread continues to be the most popular version of Android.
It's far too early to rule Intel out of the mobile game. The company's success with 14-nanometer architecture could give it the power it needs to elbow aside the likes of ARM and Nvidia.
Moore's law has remained relevant for over half a century, but evidence is mounting to suggest that it is coming to an end. What will the end of Moore's law mean to the tech industry?
New drivers for Intel's Ivy Bridge-based third-generation Core processors brings support for OpenCL 1.2 general-purpose GPU language and a 10 percent performance boost.
While many tech companies chose to make April Fools of us yesterday, Nvidia released a handful of new 700M-series notebook GPUs designed to bring more power and better battery life to notebooks.

Ash Wednesday seems like an odd tradition to those who don't observe it.
Think about it. The ashes of burned crosses from the previous year's Palm Sunday are saved. Then, a clergyman or layman rubs the cinders on the foreheads of "the faithful" in the shape of a cross.
(Speaking of ashes, the holiday also represents "National No Smoking Day" in Ireland.)
So what's the point of wearing ashes on Ash Wednesday? The cinder residue is reminiscent of the biblical act of repenting "in dust and ashes" (Job 42:6).
Many Christians have no connection with Ash Wednesday's tradition.
But we all have need of what it represents.

Got the starter pack pre-ordered on Amazon and am located in Dublin. Would be up for a game if you are forming a group.
Hi Vonkrieger,
Met another player the other weekend also at the Geeks Go Gaming event in Dublin - search Google plus for Geeks Go Gaming. I will be at Gaelcon later this month where I am sure there will be some other Netrunner players. Let me know if you will be there and we can meet up for a game and meet some other players.
Send me a mail through the forums.
Cool, afraid I won't be at Gaelcon but keep me updated on your progress! Hopefully there are a few more Dublin based people who would be interested in getting together for a few games.

Good morning, and keep moving
I passed out on the couch this morning after working a few extra hours late Tuesday night to get ahead of the annual Business Review. It's a big project comprising four sections of newspaper and more than 60 stories, some with photos and others without photos. I have laid it out every year since 2006.
It was quite a challenge putting it together in 2009 when I was pregnant with Jacob. It was due to the press Feb. 24, the same day as my due date. Apparently, Jacob had other plans and had not arrived, and with gestational diabetes my doctor insisted I get induced Feb. 25, which I did. Jacob was born less than four hours after the induction, smaller than a typical baby born to a gestational diabetic mother but otherwise healthy. I just find it funny that I "delivered" the 2009 Business Review one day and then delivered my baby the next day.
OK, back to my original thought. I was quite groggy when I woke up to find Jacob beside me, holding his blanket and smiling at me. I said, "Well, good morning Lil' Man!" He smiled again and said, "Audra!"
"Did you dream about Audra?" I asked him, referring to a friend's little girl who's almost 2 and whom Jacob seems to adore.
"Yeah," he said.
"Amber," he said.
"Yes, is Amber sleeping?" I asked, and he nodded. Eventually my sleepy-eyed daughter came downstairs and the three of us snuggled for a few more moments on the couch.
I could have sat there all morning with my babies. But no rest for the weary, especially mom. There's a school bus to catch, a day care to get my toddler to and work to be done.
I got up and made a few pieces of bacon in the microwave. While doing that, Jacob walked in and opened the refrigerator. He grabbed a bottle that was half full, or in his case half empty. When it comes to the old saying, "Is the glass half empty or half full?" it seems that it's always half empty to Jacob.
"More," he'll simply say, and make it nothing less than that! :0)
I can't help but smile. He proceeded to sit on top of the wooden garbage can (Amber used to as well when she was that small. I always called it her "rock") and watch me make me and Amber's lunches. He pointed to the bag of bread, so I pulled out a piece for him.
"You want that?" He took the bread and pointed to the side of it.
"You want butter on that?" I asked, and he nodded. I got the butter tub from the refrigerator and slathered some on the piece before cutting it in fours. He ate two of those pieces.
In reference to the "rock," the garbage can became that as Amber sat on it while she and I filled "The Little Mermaid"-themed pinata for her third birthday party. If you remember in the Disney movie, Ariel would sit on a large rock and admire Prince Eric from afar. In keeping with that theme, I would tell Amber that the garbage can was her rock, just like Ariel's. Now it's also Jacob's "rock." Silly, sure, but cute, yes.
Within 45 minutes Jacob and I were out the door and on our way to day care and work. Jacob smiled broadly and gave me a kiss before turning to walk with his caregiver and other little ones for a day of fun, learning and play.
I love these days. I might be tired, but everyone got out the door on time and without any problems. It'll be over before I know it, and then we'll do it all again tomorrow.
Have a good day, everyone!

Nordheim (Memrik Mennonite Settlement, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine)
Nordheim (Marinovka), a village in the Memrik settlement in the province of Ekaterinoslav, Russia (now Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine), was settled in 1885 by 32 landless and poor Mennonites from the Molotschna and Chortitza settlements. At first the inhabitants had hardly enough to shelter them from the cold and rain, but in a few years they became prosperous through industrious cultivation of a basically good soil. In 1887 the village built a school. In 1912 it had a population of 203.

Chicago mobster Calabrese dies in federal prison
CHICAGO – Chicago mobster Frank Calabrese Sr., a hit man who strangled victims and then slashed their throats to be sure they were dead, has died in a federal prison in North Carolina, authorities said.
Calabrese, 75, died Tuesday at the Butner Federal Medical Center, said Ed Ross, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Ross had no information on the cause of death, though Calabrese claimed at his sentencing in 2009 that he suffered from a host of ailments, including an enlarged heart.
"It's very emotional right now because there were two sides to my dad, and I miss the good side," Calabrese's son Frank Calabrese Jr. told the Chicago Sun-Times. He had helped put his father behind bars by secretly recording him boasting about mob killings.

Discovery Toys Grow With Your Children
By: Julia Hurt
Updated: July 3, 2012
"This is a toy store. It's a mobile toy store, like you said, I run it out of my home. Discovery Toys is a home based business like Mary Kay or Avon. I got started because like you I grew up with a bunch of these toys and I saw somebody at a convention and I started looking through the catalog and I was like well I'm pregnant and I pretty much want everything in the catalog so I decided why not be a consultant and get them at a discounted rate and even help other families.", explains Patterson.
She adds, " I helps them get ready for school because kids learn by playing. They are learning about speeds and how things work and they are figuring out different parts to different things. So it is really engaging on a cognitive level."

Amazing miniature city made out of staples
What you see above is the skyline of a miniature city created entirely from staples. If you are trying to guess how many of them were used, then let us make it easier. It is 100,000! Pieces were meticulously placed by designer Peter Root. "Stacks of staples were broken into varying sizes from full stacks about 12cm high down to single staples. These stacks were then stood up and arranged over a period of 40 hours."

Our beloved grandfather, Poppy Sol, started this business in an open-air market. Three generations later, we're still bringing smiles to our customers' faces.
Roasted Pistachios (Salted, In Shell)
Certified: Gluten-Free Kosher
These lightly salted Colossal Pistachios are HUGE. At Nuts.com, we are proud of our nuts, and these certainly take the cake, as they are the biggest and most delicious variety that we have seen in years!!! Some of our older employees have remarked that these remind them of the olden days and the pistachios our grandfather would find.
This is a naturally colored pistachio grown in California. Excellent to serve for all occasions. As the pistachio ripens the shell within splits, naturally indicating the proper harvest time.
Health Tips
2. You can get more dietary fiber from a serving of pistachios than a 1/2 cup of broccoli or spinach.
3. Pistachios are especially rich in phytosterols, which are directly associated with lowering cholesterol levels, and may offer protection from certain types of cancer.
4. A serving of pistachios has as much thiamin as a 1/2 cup serving of cooked rice.
5. The amount of vitamin B-6 in a one-ounce serving of pistachios is comparable to a standard three-ounce serving of pork or chicken.
6. One serving of pistachios has as much potassium as half a large banana.
7. Pistachios are a very high quality plant source of protein, providing adequate and balanced amounts of essential amino acids. In addition, pistachios are relatively high in a nonessential amino acid, arginine, which may play a potential role in prevention or reduction of cardiovascular disease.
8. While pistachios contain fat, the fat is predominantly monounsaturated, similar to that found in olive oil.

Laurie, Kinsey, AL November 24, 2010"OMG!!!!!! You guys ROCK!!! When my darling husband brought the box inside, he asked what I had purchased. I told him Gluten free flours for bread.

I'm so glad I discovered your site and will definitely be back. So many products...so little time. Thanks for such a secure package & fast shipping. Happy Thanksgiving!"
Sally, Lodi, CA November 5, 2010"I LOVE you NUTS... and your nuts. My husband (a farmer - grapes and cherries) usually buys bulk pistachios... I slipped yours into our jar secretly and he kept saying "What's up with these? Usually every 4th or 5th one is great. All of these are great." You passed my blind taste test. :D
We also LOVE the pumpkin seeds.They are "off the chart" great. I got the idea from Dr. Oz and we put them on salads daily !!!

Goldeye are endemic to North America, occurring in Canada from western Ontario to the Rocky Mountains and north to Great Slave Lake with an isolated pocket of distribution directly below James Bay in Ontario and Quebec. They can be found in a variety habitats including warm, silty, slow-moving waters of large rivers, quiet shallow lakes, ponds, marshes and muddy shallows of large lakes.
Significance of Fishery
The main fishery is now centered in the Saskatchewan River in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The fish are processed almost exclusively in Winnipeg, Man, where they are gutted, lightly brined, dyed an orange-red colour and smoked over oak fires. They are marketed as whole processed fish under the name "Winnipeg goldeye" and are considered a gourmet item. Goldeye are considered sport fish in some regions, especially central Canada where they are sought after for home smoking. The small size of goldeye limits their appeal as a sport fish in other regions.

I just read this article about a new WordPress plugin called Sensei where you can put lessons right on your WordPress site: http://bit.ly/Yt0Bpp. It looks really cool and is giving me some great ideas to use for my business. Has anyone else seen this? What do you think?
@dianebianchi This is awesome! I have a church that wants to do some basic philosophy teaching via their website. This is PERFECT!!! Thank you!
@amyhallbiz You're welcome. I agree it's awesome and I definitely am going to check it out myself.
Looks promising. We're rolling out an e-course soon and we were looking at platforms like BuddyPress and similar member-style options. I'll take a look at this and see if it's better, different, or just another flavor.
HI @dianebianchi
Hmm. I thought you could teach (fairly well) with workarounds too. But of course, I am not a Wordpress programmer or designer (and probably never will be!).
Sounds really good though – nice article.
@rich-brooks You're welcome.

November 25, 2011
Tempe, Ariz. (Sun Devil Stadium)
SERIES FACTS Cal returns to Memorial Stadium for its Pac-12 home opener against Arizona State on Saturday to take on a Sun Devil team that ranks second in the conference in scoring offense (41.2 ppg) and first in pass efficiency (181.9), as well as first in scoring defense (12.8 ppg), total defense (274.0 ypg), pass defense (139.8 ypg) and pass defense efficiency (92.5), and tied for first in interceptions (8). The Golden Bears have taken a 17-14 lead in the series by winning the past four meetings against the Sun Devils, including last year's 47-38 win in Tempe that propelled the Bears into the Holiday Bowl. In the Jeff Tedford era, Cal has posted an 8-1 record Arizona State with the lone Sun Devil win a 31-20 victory in the desert in 2007. The last time the Sun Devils came to Berkeley in 2010, the Bears were 50-17 winners. This is the third week in a row that Cal is facing a team that has at least been receiving top 25 votes. Cal coming off back-to-back road games against top 15 opponents, falling at then No. 12 Ohio State, 35-28, and then No. 12/13 USC, 27-9. Quick Hitters Steve Williams notched his fifth career interception at USC - second of 2012 - to become Cal's active career leader in that category. Four Bears - Josh Hill, Robert Mullins, Brennan Scarlett and Steve Williams - rank in the top 25 in the Pac-12 in tackles. Hill is tied for third (8.0 tpg), while Mullins is ninth (7.8 tpg), Williams is tied for 12th (7.3 tpg) and Scarlett tied for 24th (6.3 tpg). Vincenzo D'Amato converted on three of his four field goal attempts at USC, marking the second time this season - and in his career - that D'Amato has made a career-high-tying three field goals in a game (Southern Utah). The Bears have been facing some successful teams through the season's first four weeks. The three teams that Cal has suffered losses to - Nevada (3-1), Ohio State (4-0) and USC (3-1) - have a combined record of 10-2. This week's opponent, Arizona State, is 3-1. Keenan's Countdown on All-Time Charts Allen currently ranks tied for 16th nationally and third in the Pac-12 in receptions (7.25 rpg), 22nd in the nation and third in the Pac-12 in punt returns (15.44 ypg) with an average that would be third on Cal's all-time single-season chart, tied for 50th nationally and seventh in the Pac-12 in receiving yards (77.25 ypg), and tied 51st nationally and eighth in the Pac-12 in all-purpose yards (121.75 ypg). Last week's game at USC was the second straight contest in which Allen posted nine receptions following his nine-reception effort at Ohio State. He is the Bears' leading receiver through four games with 29 receptions for 309 yards and one receiving touchdown and has three total scores in 2012, adding another one on a 39-yard run and another on a 69-yard punt return. Allen also became the fastest Cal player to reach the 2000-yard career receiving mark when he reached the milestone against Ohio State. He also completed the third pass of his career in as many attempts against the Buckeyes, finding Zach Maynard for eight yards. His career passing totals are now 3-for-3 for 52 yards.

He is also tied for second among the team's active players with four career interceptions, second with 46 interception return yards and third with 20 passes defended. Anthony, who has played in 34 career games with 26 starts, is Cal's active career leader in interception return yards (93), passes defended (23) and pass breakups (19), while totaling 110 tackles to rank second to Hill in that category. Against Southern Utah, Anthony picked off Thunderbird quarterback Brad Sorensen and returned it 61 yards for his first career touchdown, following in the footsteps of Hill who had owned Cal's most-recent pick-six against Utah last year. Williams, who has played in 29 games with 20 starts, is now Cal's active career leader in interceptions with five after one in each of his last two games at Ohio State and at USC, with his two interceptions leading the team and ranking tied for seventh in the Pac-12 (0.50 ipg).

Pendergast lists his hometown as the Phoenix suburb of Gledale, Ariz., and attended nearby Tolleson High School before moving to Tucson and graduating from the University of Arizona in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in Agriculture. Pendergast returned to the state as a defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals for five seasons from 2004-08, helping lead the NFL squad to an NFC title and the lone Super Bowl in franchise history in his final season on the job. Associate head coach/run game coordinator Ron Gould lists his hometown as Tucson and prepped at Santa Rita High School. He also played community college football in the Phoenix area at Scottsdale Community College. Cal in the NFL Academic Success Continues In 2008, Alex Mack earned the Draddy Trophy (later renamed the Campbell Trophy) honoring college football's top scholar-athlete, while Mohamed was a finalist for the honor often referred to as the Academic Heisman in 2010 after earlier being given an NFF Scholar-Athlete Award. Giorgio Tavecchio was a semifinalist for the honor and a candidate for an NFF Scholar-Athlete Award in 2011. A three-time member of the Pac-10/12 All-Academic team, Matt Summers-Gavin is a candidate for the Senior CLASS Award® and the Campbell Trophy presented by the National Football Foundation. Back In Berkeley - Memorial Stadium Reopens in 2012 This fall, the historic building begins a new era following an extensive retrofit and renovation that brings it up to modern standards for fans and student-athletes alike, creating a more enjoyable environment for the hundreds of thousands of people who visit and partake in games every year - all while maintaining the architecture and character of the celebrated stadium. Major construction on the $321 million project got underway in December 2010, and barely 21 months later, the Golden Bears are able to call Memorial Stadium home once again. The Renovation of Memorial Stadium Preliminary work on the project, including installation of temporary bracing around the outer wall, hazardous material removal and interior demolition, began in June 2010. Major construction got underway in December 2010, starting with demolition of the interior bowl, soil excavation and wall shoring. The stadium is game-ready to host Cal football in September 2012, with work completed in early 2013. The $321 million renovation, which impacts all but the outer wall and the east-side seating area, capitalizes on the expertise of seismic engineers and campus experts that found a unique solution to protect the stadium and its users in case of an earthquake. Design features include concrete "seismic blocks" at the end zone where the Hayward Fault bisects the facility and a press box that can sway in a large-scale temblor. The solution came as a result of collaboration between the campus Seismic Review Committee, the architectural team and the structural engineers hired for the job. The significant number of upgrades to the facility include three club levels for those participating in the Endowment Seating Program, a new press box, wider concourses, improved ADA access, and more restrooms and concession stands. Capacity has been reduced from 71,799 seats to 63,186.

A Golden Olympics for the Golden Bears Cal Celebrates National Championship Week During the 2011-12 campaign, Cal's men and women's swimming and diving programs dominated the pool in repeat runs to the NCAA team title. The Bears' men's and women's swimmers also notched a pair of relay titles to help solidify their top standing at the NCAA meet, while Cal's men's gymnastics team featured another national champion on the pommel horse - Glen Ishino. Overall, Golden Bear student-athletes won 10 individual NCAA crowns in 2011-12 - more individual national titles than any other year in school history. Since Cal began formally honoring its national champions in 2006 with a weeklong celebration, the Bears have brought home 47 individual national crowns and 40 national team titles (including relays, crews and tennis doubles titles).

With the drought this past summer, hay supplies are expected to be lower than normal going into the winter and quality is going to be a concern as well. To accurately, efficiently and economically determine your feeding and supplementation program, having your forages tested certainly should be a priority.
Producers in Hardin County have two good options available to them to provide them with accurate forage testing results.
The first is through the local County Cooperative Extension Service office, which has forage sampling probes that can be borrowed to collect samples from harvested forage. It will test those samples free of charge. Extension agents also will help you develop rations and/or recommend any needed supplements. Turnaround time for testing and results being made available generally runs about a week. All samples submitted to the Extension office are sent to Dairy One Laboratory in New York for analysis. With this option, it's up to the producer to collect the various samples and deliver them to the Extension office.
The other option is provided by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's hay and haylage testing program. A trained individual will come to your farm, take samples of your hay or haylage, and get the test results back to you in a short period of time. The cost is $10 per "lot." A "lot" of hay/haylage is hay/haylage taken from the same harvest, same field, same type of harvest conditions and with the same method of storage and the same weather conditions during harvest.
This program has been improved and expanded recently. To have your hay/haylage tested by KDA, call 800-248-4628. Along with the testing results, KDA also can help market your hay. Hay tested by KDA can be listed on KDA's computer hay listing service. There is no additional charge for this service.
If you are needing to buy hay later this winter, or even now, call the same toll free number listed above for a list of tested hay for sale in Kentucky.
For additional information on either of these options for testing forages before we get into really cold weather, contact the Hardin County Cooperative Extension Service office at 765-4121.
MASTER CATTLEMEN PROGRAM TO BE OFFERED IN 2013. Interested beef and dairy producers are invited to participate in the Kentucky Heartland Master Cattlemen Program being offered probably for the last time next year. The program has been funded by the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund through the Governor's Office of Agricultural Policy; however, principals with the program have been notified this probably will be the last time the successful program will receive funding.
The Kentucky Heartland program is targeted to cattle producers in Hardin, LaRue and Meade counties; however the program actually is open to any Kentucky cattle producer. Sessions are held on the third Tuesday night of each month except May and June. The 10, four-hour sessions cover all aspects of modern cattle production including nutrition, forages, genetics, reproduction, animal health, economics and marketing, end product, facilities, handling, management and environmental stewardship. Sessions begin at 5:30 p.m. and are held at each of the respective county Extension offices.
