Yes, I'm talking about cheating.
I told myself I would never cheat. Now I understand it's not so easy.
So the story:
I'm starting to have stronger feelings for my boyfriend (Halfcast Boy). But relationships work in such a peculiar way, two people like each other, but there's a delicate balance otherwise there will be a power imbalance. The ideal goal is to love each other more and more, but not really love the other person more than they love you or that will make you vulnerable. I don't want to be vulnerable.
We almost had sex last night. We had a "partydate" - we went to his friend's party together. At the party he tried to introduce me to too many of his friends at once and at first it got a bit overwhelming. Anyways, after the party finished we stayed the night and slept in the same room and we were making out... I didn't know how far he wanted to go. But then he started unbuttoning my shirt, then my pants. After a while I asked him, and he answered "Whatever you want". He said whatever I wanted, but that doesn't mean that's what he wanted. It seemed like he was putting himself out for me... He seemed uncomfortable, and we've only been going out for a week. He would've, but I didn't. I didn't ask him for sex.
He's out clubbing tonight, right now.
I know he really likes me.
Today's been a weird day. I forgot about Dunedin Boy, and was in town this afternoon. I was texting Halfcast Boy at the train station while waiting for some friends when suddenly, Dunedin Boy texted me asking where I was and that he was up in Auckland and wanted to 'meet up'. And I missed him, I almost craved a bit of him. I knew he was coming up (without knowing precisely when, we keep things casual), but I was tired of waiting and I asked Halfcast Boy out a week ago. Dunedin Boy just suddenly came up like that without proper 'warning', expecting me to 'meet up' with him. It was spontaneous, it was wrong, but I teased the idea and thought it exciting.
I told myself I would never cheat. Now I was faced with a dilemma.
I was texting Halfcast Boy and Dunedin Boy at the same time. And that feeling was very... strange. Halfcast Boy (my boyfriend) was cute, using smileys, exclamation marks, talking about trivial and 'cute' things while being oblivious that I was making a choice. Dunedin Boy's texts were short, asking what I was doing, how long I'm free for, where I was, etc. Dunedin Boy sounded detached. The feeling was odd - I was texting two people I liked at the same time with such different personalities and one not being aware of the other - and me being in control having to make a choice. Two boys I wanted at my fingertips and all I have to do is say yes. It really really felt strange.
And I really wanted to meet up with Dunedin Boy. I told myself we'd probably hang out, but really I was in denial about what was bound to happen - and for a moment I even fantasised about the kissing and the sex - until I could compartmentise that thought. I could have them both, and I tried to find reasons to justify it.
I had a birthday dinner to go to tonight, but I thought I could still meet up with Dunedin Boy. I made a choice, then I went to the train station toilets...
As I opened the toilet door, I saw my boyfriend Halfcast Boy standing there doing his hair. And I was dumbstruck, I was texting him a while ago - and I thought he was at home - and it's almost like he teleported there by some form of divine intervention... due to karma, or to be some kind of sign.
He took a train to town without telling me, as a little surprise to see me (kind of). I went to my birthday dinner and saw him afterwards.
My friend once said - 'You win some you lose some'. I really wanted Dunedin Boy but some things you want happen when you don't want them to. It was temptation versus doing the the right thing. My friend also said "Dunedin man is a player and lives far away, and your boyfriend really likes you".
Right now, Halfcast Boy is having fun clubbing in town.
And thank God I'm at home right now. When I made that choice before going to the toilets I told Dunedin Boy I was busy tonight. You're reading this right now because I'm not off somewhere else fucking him.
I can't control my thoughts or my feelings
But I made the right choice.
I don't think life is ever as cut and dry as you want it to be. Especially once you settle in a specific town, you'll always run into people you dated before, slept with before, had a bad first date and no follow-up with before, etc.
My gay marriage rebuttal, back in the recent past where not everyone was on board (I doubt that group came around, they just gave up objecting), was that our relationships are more sacred, because we don't feel bound to each other by law or spirit or anything else. Every day, I show up to this relationship because I want to. There is nothing else keeping me here. And that seems more pure to me. Of course, at a base level, that's true of everyone. As soon as it gets bad, it deteriorates. But there is something about just showing up every day without requirement to love them.
So, if you have a friendship with Dunedin that you want to maintain, you just say you're dating someone now, so you can't mess around with him, but you'd still love to see him and catch up.
As for power imbalance, I would suggest being more present in the relationship than worrying about it. You can only play your role, not tend to his and if he's getting enough out of it, etc.
Relationships aren't 50/50, they're 100/100. If you put yourself fully into it, and he does, and you two are a good match (the most important bit), then it'll work out. But little of it will be 50/50. Someone will do 80 percent of the driving, another will do 60 percent of the cooking, same in the bedroom, and on down the line.
I don't think he didn't want sex with you, since, well... he's a guy. I think "whatever you want" means he's ready, but he doesn't want to rush or pressure you. So, that's possibly his version of "Yes, are you?" Also, sex with someone new, that you're just dating, that you're developing feelings for, who you're just learning about it... that's always going to have a bit of awkwardness and uncomfortableness at first. So, instead of playing fortune teller here, trying to read the tea leaves as to what his response means, just tell him where you're at with things. That you're definitely interested in sex, but don't want to rush into things. Ask if he's ready. Tell him you'll still be hot and willing in two weeks, three weeks, whatever. No rush.
Some night, you two will be together, and there will be no words, no plans, no intent, and it will just be spontaneous, connected, and joyous. And it won't have been "worth the wait," because only with that history can that level of comfort, intimacy, and rapture take place.
"People who are happy are slugs... They do not move the human race forward."
-- Camille Paglia, on Oasis
I've got no one to like me,let alone love me.so cherish what u have right now!!!And good luck

Women CEOs: Why So Few?

Women CEOs: Why So Few?
Herminia Ibarra and Morten T. Hansen
Editor's note: Check out the Top 100 CEOs slideshow created by these authors, please visit
When we studied the leadership of 2,000 of the world's top performing companies, we found only 29 (1.5%) of those CEOs were women, an even smaller percentage ime, presumably because long-term growth depends on deep industry- and firm-specific knowledge. Do top women have to go outside to move up? Our results suggest women are less likely to emerge as winners in their own companies' internal CEO tournament.
is Remarkably, this paltry showing by females actually represents some progress. A decade ago only three women headed large public companies in the US; today 15 make the Fortune 500 list. With many of today's female chief executives of public companies appointed only in the last few years, women have had little time to build their legacies. Of our list of 29, 19 of the women were appointed on or after 2002.
A common explanation for so few women reaching the top is the "glass cliff" theory, whereby women are more likely than men to be appointed to top jobs in poorly performing companies. This was not true in our data: women were no more likely than men to be named CEO in times of tumbling share prices. Moreover, the best performers in our study, male and female, were precisely those who took over troubled firms. Witness Kate Swann, who achieved an impressive turnaround of WH Smith by focusing the troubled bookseller on airport and railway stores.

Last week it was reported that free agent outfielder Ichiro
Suzuki enjoyed his time with the New York Yankees so much that he was willing to wait for an offer from the club before making a decision on where to sign
this offseason. Now, according to Suzuki's agent, the player and his
representation "don't care what the Yankees do," reports George A. King III of
The New York Post.
"At the beginning we talked a lot but since that time,
zero,'' agent Tony Attanasio said of discussions with the Yankees. "As far as
we are concerned we don't care what the Yankees do. We have had conversations
with multiple clubs. If we see something we like he will go through with it."
The Yankees have spent the first part of their offseason
focusing on pitching, specifically re-signing their veteran arms. The club has
since checked several to-do's off its list, including agreements with Andy
Pettitte, Hiroki Kuroda and Mariano Rivera. Now New York is expected to shift...
Original Story:
Ichiro now open to other teams?
Ichiro's agent indicates that the outfielder is open to signing with other teams despite previously saying he wants to remain with the Yankees.

THE ALMOST--the acclaimed rock group fronted by lead vocalist/guitarist AARON GILLESPIE--will return April 9 with their third album FEAR INSIDE OUR BONES for Tooth & Nail/EMI/Universal. The album's preview track is "Ghost," which echoes with unbridled blues intensity before converging on a divinely heavy refrain.
THE ALMOST are in the midst of a cross-country tour previewing the new songs for their rising fan base nationwide. In between headlining shows, the band will team with Finch for their "What It Is To Burn" tour this spring, while AARON and JAY VILARDI lead guitarist for The Almost will also join the To Write Love On Her Arms tour for a handful of acoustic performances. See all current dates listed below.To cut FEAR INSIDE OUR BONES, The Almost retreated to Nashville's Omni Studios with producer Marshall Altman (Tom Morello, Ingrid Michaelson, William Fitzsimmons). All the songs were recorded together in a single room completely live. "It wasn't a piecemeal process as the majority of modern records are," explains GILLESPIE. "The album was born at that moment from our collective blood, sweat and tears." In those five days, the musicians tapped into elegantly visceral energy built from a blues-rock vibe that they modernized. Other album highlights include the relentless rocker "Fight Song," the powerful and complicated anthem "I Won't Let Go," and "I'm Down" which streams ahead like a Southern freight train before the singer soulfully proclaims in the chorus, "Don't count me out."Across the entire album, GILLESPIE continues to wear his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't hold anything back within the lyrics or music. Amidst all of the thundering rhythms and massive riffs, THE ALMOST's honesty re-sounds the loudest. "There's hope," GILLESPIE concludes. "People are free to feel the way they feel and go through what they are going through. Music is the great communicator. This is my soundtrack, heartbeat and who I want to be. I hope everyone feels like this record belongs to them."THE ALMOST have come a long way since the release of their 2007 debut Southern Weather (Tooth & Nail/Universal). Taking a break from the gold-selling Underoath, the project allowed GILLESPIE to explore other musical avenues, playing every instrument and singing. However, everything truly came to life on their sophomore 2009's Monster, Monster. The line-up--AARON GILLESPIE (lead vocalist/lyrics/guitar), JAY VILARDI (guitars), DUSTY REDMON (guitars), JON THOMPSON (bass), JOE MUSTEN (drums)--had solidified and they played to rabid crowds around the world. Expect more dates and radio news for 2013 and beyond to be announced soon via http://thealmost.com.

We just checked Rome in our bucket list.
My husband and I have a list of places to visit in our bucket list and Rome, Italy is one of the top three. This trip has definitely fulfilled our wish and we can put a check next to it. Rome is such a wonderful place to visit if you are one of those who is fascinated with history, ancient times and works of great artists. David Macchi, our tour director is so knowledgeable about the history of Rome and he made sure that we did not miss out anything that is a place of interest. He was very accommodating and always concerned about everyone in our group. When the excursion to the catacombs was cancelled, David gave our group a walking tour of the Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, the Spanish steps and other places of interest (for free). He even treated us to gelato with choice of 3 flavors. My husband and I have nothing but high praise for David. The next countries that are in our bucket list are Spain and Portugal. We hope that we'll have a tour director who is as good as David. And we'll definitely book our trip with Go Ahead Tour.
Eternal City
I thoroughly enjoyed this City Stay. Go Ahead arranged a direct flight into Rome on Alitalia, which was perfect. The hotel was average, but I had a room with a Romeo and Juliet style balcony that overlooked the street, which was nice. It was within walking distance to the Coliseum, Forum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Repubblica, and countless churches and restaurants. Nicola, the tour director, was absolutely amazing. She had a wealth of knowledge and information about the area and was willing to share that with everyone. She has such a great personality and made you feel like no question was stupid or ridiculous. She accompanied us on most of the tours and helped out in any way she could. Yohanna, the tour guide for the Vatican was terrific, as was Marco, the tour guide in Florence. Sure, they cancelled the Imperial Rome tour, but I found that I was able to do that on my own quite nicely by just walking. Bring comfortable shoes! I found the food to be amazing and the people were the best. I ended up having several dinners with locals that I just met. I'm not sure that's entirely wise, but they were super friendly and I totally had fun. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Just of note, I would not recommend the Dinner with Tenors. Although it was entertaining, there was only one tenor and two sopranos. The room was packed and it seemed very impersonal. The food was average at best. And, they really should note that this is really a five day tour because two of the seven were travel days. The "stay" is really only five days. If I were to do it again, I would extend the stay for sure. But, those are just notes. I had an amazing time and would recommend this tour to any friend. Enjoy!
A Dream Come True
It was a dream come true for me and I was so blessed to have been able to go. I would recommend this tour to my friends. I had the time of my life and our tour director was the best. Thank you again for a great time.
Great Experience
Overall the tour was great. Our tour guide Nicola made the experience even more rewarding. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area and her personality was fantastic. We had some medical problems and she was able to steer us in the right direction to alleviate the problem so we could continue to enjoy our stay. She also made it a point everyday to see if there was anything she could do to help. Her knowledge of area eateries and attractions was also a great plus. Because of her amd her efforts our trip was even more enjoyable.
The best 50th birthday trip
On a scale of 1 to10, and 10 being the highest, Go Ahead Tour is a 20! From my flight, my hotel, the breakfast, the wonderfully educated and fasinating tour guides, which inspired me to learn more about the history of Rome, the fresco's of the Sistine Chapel, and Assisi, to study Bernini and so much more. I can not speak highly enough of this company without giving a shout out to Nicola, the Go Ahead Tours representative. What a lovely woman, who made my trip trouble free, gave great suggestions for eating in the area, set up tours, gave great tips for "when in Rome", it's because of Nicola that I will book with Go Ahead Tours again. Ireland is next! Thank you
Watch the traffic!
Everything was great until I got hit by a taxi!
It is what it says
Location of hotel was adequate. The fact that not enough people signed up for side trips was disapointing. The city guide was good.
Trips cancelled
I have never been on a tour that had so many side trips canceled. Which forced us to book comparable side trips through a local company that offered more for less.
Roma, Your must see part of the world
You've heard the saying, "TV or videos don't do justice." Mike and I have made many trips with Go Ahead Tours. But Rome!!! it is a place and tour that must not be missed. The tour guide, Daniella, absolutely magnificent. Rome, the city!!! And then there are the many other optional tours that should not be missed. The evening with the tenors and a fabulous dinner, the the high speed train eurostar, to and fromFlorence, the wine tasting in the Italian mountains, and of course, VATICIAN. One really neat attribute about the Rome City Stay is that counting the trip over and back, everything takes only seven day's, just perfect for newly weds and those who still work full time and have limited vacation. Best of all, Go Ahead Tours does all of the planning for you. All you need do is like Mike and I have done for the last 5 Go ahead tours. RELAX AND ENJOY.
A Trip to Remember
This trip was such a phenomenal experience. It was a trip through Providence College that I went on with a few of my best friends along with a bunch of other people that were soon to become my great friends. We saw all of the greatest sights that Rome and Florence has to offer and our tour guide Chris Morrison was better than fantastic. My most vivid memory was just sitting outside on the front steps of the Pantheon with a half-dozen other people just enjoying our gelato and talking about life and how great it was to sit there in front of the Pantheon (a place we had only learned about in our Development of Western Civilization course). I loved it so much!

State lawmakers and interest groups are preparing for the possibility of automatic spending cuts under California's budget plan, the Wall Street Journal reports (Vara, Wall Street Journal, 12/12).
In June, Gov. Jerry Brown (D) approved an $86 billion state budget plan that was based on spending cuts, fee hikes and expectations of higher revenue later in the fiscal year. Lawmakers also relied on an assumption that the state would receive $4 billion in new revenue over what previously was expected through June 2012.
Under the state budget package, additional spending cuts could be triggered for health care and education programs if revenue projections fall short by more than $1 billion.
Last month, LAO released budget projections showing that the state would be $3.7 billion short of budget expectations (California Healthline, 11/17).
The state Department of Finance is expected to release its financial outlook this week for the second half of the fiscal year (Harmon, San Jose Mercury News, 12/11).
Officials will decide whether to move forward with the triggered cuts based on the higher of the two estimates from the Legislative Analyst's Office and the finance department (Wall Street Journal, 12/12).
Details of the Cuts
Up to $2.5 billion in automatic cuts could be made under the budget.
The triggered cuts would be divided into two tiers, the first of which would go into effect in January if officials believe state revenue will be at least $1 billion short by June (Yamamura, Sacramento Bee, 12/12).
First-tier cuts would remove:
The second tier of cuts could take effect if state revenue falls short of budget expectations by more than $2 billion. These cuts would affect public schools and community colleges (Sacramento Bee, 12/12).
Rally To Protest Possible Cuts
On Friday, KPCC's "KPCC News" reported on a rally in Los Angeles in which patient advocates, caregivers and students protested the possibility of triggered budget cuts (O'Neill, "KPCC News," KPCC, 12/9).
The continued short sightedness of the Governor and Legislature as it relates to promoting business growth is evident again. Rather than continuing to cut, could not an action to stimulate business (and tax revenues) and reduce unemployment(save money) ever be considered? The mis-management of the budget mirrors the State's report card for job growth, efficiency of healthcare spending and some of the poorest edcational outcome ratings.
Readers are invited to send feedback to: email@example.com

Willis Earl Beal, Cosby Stage
Willis Earl Beal, Cosby Stage, Friday
As you approach the Cosby Stage, it sounds like a James Brown CD has been cranked up to full volume. Once your eyes have adjusted to the mid-evening gloom, it becomes apparent there is but one man on stage; and although he's wearing a T-shirt that declares himself as Nothing, he's certainly making enough noise to lure a hundred or so punters in.
Willis Earl Beal may be part-performance poet, part-soul man, part-preacher, part Wesley Snipes-lookalike - but the Chicagoan is an unbelievably compelling performer, throwing himself onto his knees and writhing around the stage like a man possessed.
He belts out tunes to an analogue backing track with an undoubtedly amazing voice, but his persona treads a dodgy line between prophet and parody. We'll give him the benefit of the doubt this time.
Verdict: ***

I am looking to buy "Orion TeleTrack altazimuth tracking mount", but nowhere to be found in US?!!
Can anyone tell me when and were I can buy one? If not, what is a good substitute that will work intend?
Thanks in advance
Welcome to the forum...
It seems this mount is no longer marketed in the USA.
You can either import a Merlin-branded one from Europe, or the Panogear-branded model from Kolor or SkiVR, or look at the newer larger heavier Celestron Sky-watcher Allview mount which is reported to be compatible with Papywizard:

See: http://www.kolor.com/forum/viewtopic.ph … 40&p=2
Hi mediavets
Thanks for your prompt reply. Couple of questions,
1. Can this be setup with bluetooth dongle for use with Nokia 810 and Android Tablet?
2. Can you provide links to Orion TeleTrack vender in Europe?

Kolor reported that they had tested a prototype with papytwizard and it worked fine - so I imagine that's a 'yes' but I have no personal experience of the Allview model.
I think it may be best that you contact the person who reported owning one in that forum therad I referenced in my previous post.
and Android Tablet?
I don't know but if it works with Papywizard it should work with the software that's in development for Android.
2. Can you provide links to Orion TeleTrack vender in Europe?
Here you are - it is marketed as the Merlin in Europe:

Posted March 31, 2011
I agree heartily with this. I hate the fact that some of my games will not work with my perfectly fine Saitek P990, but would "just work" if I invested up to $60 in an Xbox controller. However, that doesn't mean that using the WASD controls is crippling. Most PC gamers are going to prefer that over a gamepad anyway and the game developers know this, hence why they don't bother with robust gamepad support beyond the insanely easy to implement Xbox controller support. It's not really a case of developers going out of their way to push the Xbox controller, it's just that much easier to include Xbox controller support with the game since that support is exactly the same on both the Xbox and the PC. It would actually be harder and take more effort to strip that out and add back in generic gamepad support for a PC version of a game.

I mean, I need something big here, can you give me an example, like a news report, or a link to one where they were wronged in court?
It's not really a lifestyle. Lifestyles are choices.
I didn't have a choice.
Care to elaborate, you are saying you don't have a choice. Can I say that I made the choice to be straight, and not gay. So wouldn't that make it my lifestyle?
No you didn't choose to be straight, you just are.
It's not you wake up one day, and think "Hmm I suddenly decided pussy is boring, I think I'll let John ram my ass for an hour"
It's a natural reaction, you are or you aren't
It's the way you're born.
The life-style I truly want is what you see in the movies, house, wife, 2 children, a job. See, my life-style includes a wife. So I have to know, can't being gay also be considered a lifestyle, and yes, a sexual orientation?
That's just a domestic lifestyle, it has little to do with sexual orientation and more about living in a domestic setting.
I could spend my entire life at sea, and that would be a nautical lifestyle. Banging wenches would just be a part of it, like banging your wife would be a part of yours. Truth be told, the Gays want the same thing you do, they just want the right to do it legally where ever they happen to land.
Sexual orientation is part of it, not the deciding factor. Easy mistake though.

Chandos Information Professional Series
Every librarian should read this optimistic, practical, honest and insightful, easy-to-read, and highly relevant guide.Australian Library Journal
- provides the tools and resources that will help the reader decide on the best approach to re-start their career - presents first-hand experience about the anxiety, hard work, and excitement that go into career renewal - shines a light on the understanding of the various challenges that come with working in multiple library environments - draws upon the author's uniquely broad background
This book examines the difficulties confronting information professionals who, due to financial downturns, technological change, or personal crises, are forced to re-evaluate their career options. It is divided between a case study (based on the author's own experiences) of career dislocation and eventual career renewal, and several sections that offer pragmatic advice on how to recover from job loss, conduct a skills assessment and develop a practical job search strategy. The author, with honesty, confronts the serious and sometimes troubling psychological and professional consequences of layoffs and job burnout. This book presents an overall positive outlook on personal growth and the opportunities our new information environment holds.
Readership: Primary focus is on information professionals who are anticipating career change or who have experienced a career downturn. Information Science graduate students will also benefit from the book's common sense approach to job searching and the advice on maintaining psychological well-being during the quest for that hard-to-find first professional job. Additionally, administrative leaders, who want to analyze and better understand the needs of their staff and how they can be met in their organizations, are also encouraged to read this book. A perfect example is to show how they can help their staff either find fulfilment in their jobs, or develop career survival skills.

How would you feel if I said, "I'm completely for equality. I mean, it's 2009, people, let's get with the times. There's no reason to treat deaf people differently than hearing people, I think it should all be equal. Which is why I support deaf-deaf civil unions. I don't support deaf marriage, and I don't support deaf-hearing relationships, but I think they should be given the equal opportunities to have civil unions with other deaf individuals. That's only fair." Does that sound right to you? Or does it sound like my statement contradicts itself? I don't want any of this to sound mean or angry, I'm just trying to explain how your post came across. Or at least how it came across to me.

Good post, Isfoster
Sorry, Kaelei... Yes, I do agree about equality but I just don't agree with some of your own post. Why not can't they get a marriage? 1800's - No, you can't marry an Indian-American! 1950's - No, you can't marry an Africa-American! 2000's - No, you can't marry a guy (or girl) if you are a man (or woman)! Sound familiar? Well, guess what? One thing that you can't is... controlling a love on two couples. Peace ^_^

Hahaha, I've had so many people tell me that, Byrdie, you have no idea. I thought about it, but I think my general stubborn-ness and love of arguing would end up getting me in trouble pretty soon.

My lesbian friend asked me to join with her for rally protest last year Nov 2008, GLBT people marched and put up with picket, that's amazing to watch.
My family support gay marriage because they both have gay and lesbian friends, that's why. And of course my aunt who's also lesbian too and she's been with her long time girlfriend. (That's my mom's side). Sadly, some narrow-minded people are you know anti-gay marriage because they think it's sinful and wrong. Nothing wrong with gay marriage, It is LOVE!!! |

Gay people should be able to get married just like any streight couple can get married who does it hurt to let them have the same type of marriage I am allowed to have? Some people just have their heads so far up their a.... there are more important things in this world than worrying about a gay couple wanting to get married just like a streight couple can I say let them do it who does it hurt I ask you? NOBODY.
If two people love each other and are willing to make that commitment to each other then they should be allowed to get married. Its just so stupid to me that people are so stubborn when it comes to this subject. I just dont get why it should bother anyone because its nobodies business who a person wants to be with and It really ticks me off when people try to force others conform to their way of life just because they think its the ONLY way to live it. |

What most people dont understand is that marriage is more than just a legal thing, its about supporting and standing with your partner in every situation imaginable, its love and all that mushy stuff. Its not just a confession before God that you commit yourself to this person for life, but its a confession and commitment you make to your partner in front of your friends and family, and more importantly its a confession and commitment you make to your partner. The only thing lacking in the American legal system is that it does not recognize these commitments as valid.
Dont get me wrong I love America but sadly we have a lot of religious fanatics in offices they shouldnt be in and they are more concerned about pushing their religious views onto everyone else regardless of whether or not it truly reflects the will of the people. There is a very clear reason of why the Constitution was based on Judeo-Christian principles but at the same time, we have a very clear seperation of Church and State. The Judeo-Christian principle follows the greatest commandment of all : To love your neigbor as yourself. The reason is to treat all men as equals in the eyes of God regardless of his or her status. The seperation of Church and State was to keep the Church out of political affairs, this was to keep Christians from persecuting non-Christians, and vice versa. I firmly believe that if gays can't get a recognition by the government as a married couple (I think they should), then a civil union recognition should be in place that has all the benefits as a marriage does as the UK has done. The way I see it is that gays didnt get a vote on whether or not heterosexual couples should get married, and I believe Prop 8 became a double standard in which heterosexual people got to vote whether or not gay couple should get married. I believe Prop 8 is a boatload of crap, hopefully one day the Supreme Court will step in and mandate that same-sex marriages are in face legal and should be a right of all Americans just the same way the heterosexual marriage should be.
Oh, you will. It is all a dream and since matter cannot be created nor destroyed, the dreams must be real in all their myriad forms. -Beowulf This Delicate Thing God Has Made The world is measured in peasants; smaller than a unicorn but, bigger than a tidbit! |

(I mean, it's just my personal view, guys. I think that deaf people are just choosing a lifestyle that I don't agree with, sorry. I mean, there's no deaf marriage in the bible. I'm just saying....)

Oh no, better tell any couple doing it :buttsex: that their marriage certificate doesn't count. Gotta use the other hole.
Personally, I don't know why I need to have a penis involved in my marriage. If you don't want a penis inside you to validate your marriage, PowerON, then don't tell me I need one to validate mine. K, thanks.

Three players restarted their pro careers as pitchers last night, two of them with solid success stories.
Start with Athletics lefthander Sean Doolittle, who in a way is Danny Hultzen v1.0. Doolittle pitched and hit at Virginia but was drafted in 2007 in the supplemental first round as an outfielder/first baseman. The 25-year-old reached Double-A in his first full season, hitting 22 homers and 40 doubles between high Class A Stockton and Double-A Midland, but knee injuries started the next season at Triple-A Sacramento, and he didn't play for two and a half years, other than one pitching appearance in the Rookie-level Arizona League.
Doolittle had a strong instructional league, though, and one scout said Doolittle's fastball was in the 93-95 mph range this spring. His breaking ball still needs work, but he didn't need any help last night, striking out four of the five batters he faced for Stockton in a 7-2 victory against Lake Elsinore. He caught 2011 first-round pick Cory Spangenberg looking to start his outing, and also caught Rymer Liriano looking to start the eighth inning.
Diamondbacks farmhand Jason Lane is 35 and had a significant major league career as a hitter, batting .267/.316/.499 with 26 home runs for the Astros' 2005 National League pennant winners and. He hit 61 homers in 1,208 big league at-bats, with a slash line of .241/.314/.457.
Lane also was a two-way player at Southern California, hitting a grand slam and pitching in the Trojans' 1998 national championship game victory against Arizona State. He never pitched in the majors in an emergency situation, but did so for three years in the Blue Jays system—once in 2009, four times in 2010 and then six times, spanning 13 innings, last season at Triple-A Las Vegas, when he was a part-time player (hitting .291/.358/.460).
This spring he's with the Diamondbacks organization and keeping track of his exploits on his own Facebook page, which features a photo of Lane pitching for USC. The lefthander pitched and hit in an exhibition game against the University of Nevada back on March 28 and wrote, "No hits but felt great at the plate. I pitched a scoreless inning on the mound as well. I had a blast doing both."
On Opening Night, his quest to be the new Brooks Kieschnick got off to a good start. Reno beat visiting Colorado Springs 5-2 despite a short snow flurry delay, with Lane contributing four outs out of the bullpen. One of them was a strikeout of Rockies 2009 first-rounder Tim Wheeler.
Less successful was another former Trojan two-way player, Robert Stock, whom the Cardinals moved to the mound after trying to develop him as an everyday catcher for three years. Stock is the best prospect of the bunch, as he's just 22 and hasn't had any physical problems. He just couldn't hit enough, batting .241/.320/.347 in 680 pro at-bats.
The Cardinals decided to make him a full-time pitcher this spring, and pitching for low Class A Quad Cities, he gave up four hits and five runs (four earned) while relieving Tyrell Jenkins last night in an 11-10 loss to Kane County. (The Cougars put up nine runs in the second off Jenkins and Stock, with outfielder Lane Adams tripling to lead off the inning and hitting a grand slam off Stock to end the scoring.)
Cardinals pitching coordinator Brent Strom, who has known Stock since the player was 13, still sees progress from his fellow USC alumnus.
"He got beat around some last night, but he has shown us three pitches," Strom said Friday. "He's been 91-93 (mph) with a solid curveball, feel for a changeup and good poise. He's always been a pretty mature kid. His heart was in catching and that's what he chose to do. I've been waiting for him to come to the dark side as a pitcher for years."
Stock's arm action is still a bit short from his catching days, but Strom is confident he can get back to a bit longer stroke in the back. "He's not the 95 (mph) he was in high school," Strom said, "but the body will accommodate the goal. If I showed you video of his arm action from high school and how it has changed over the last five or six years, you wouldn't recognize it as the same player, because he had to be shorter and quicker as a catcher."

Yonge-University-Spadina (TTC)
The Yonge-University-Spadina Line is the oldest subway line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission. It has 32 stations and is 30.2 km in length. It opened in 1954, and had extensions completed in 1963, 1973, 1974, 1978, and 1996. One station (North York Centre) opened on an existing section of line in 1987.
The line's name has changed as it was extended. It was simply the Yonge subway until 1963, then the Yonge-University Line until 1978. Although only two stations are actually on Spadina Road, a larger portion of the line was originally planned to follow the Spadina Expressway. The part of the expressway that was actually built was renamed the W.R. Allen Road, but the name of the line was never adjusted.
On 30 March 1954, after five years of work, the first subway in Canada opened to the public. The original Yonge Street subway line went from Union Station north to Eglinton station. Premier of Ontario Leslie Frost and Mayor of Toronto Allan Lamport, among other important persons, rode the first train that morning, going north from the yards at Davisville station, and then from Eglinton, south along the entire line. That day, at 2:30 pm, the last streetcar to travel Yonge Street south of Eglinton made its final trip.
Nine years later, the University segment of the line opened, continuing the line from Union north to St. George station.
In 1973, the Yonge line was extended north to York Mills station, and the next year it was extended north to Finch station. in 1978, the Spadina segment of the line was opened, going from the north terminus of the University line to Wilson station.
In 1987, a new station was added south of Finch on the Yonge line, at the North York Centre. In 1996, the Spadina expansion was opened, adding one new station, Downsview station.
This line is scheduled for the next phase of expansion, which will bring the line to York University, four kilometres northwest of Downsview station. There are proposals to extend the line further, into the city of Vaughan. Preliminary route planning has begun, although at present, the TTC has funds only for an environmental assessment. The extension got a further boost when the Toronto Argonauts Canadian Football League team announced that it would be building its new stadium at the York campus. In the meantime, a temporary busway is planned between Downsview station and the campus. See the link below.
Proposals ahve also been put forward to extend the Yonge Street portion of the line beyond Finch to Steeles and into Thornhill, most likely ending at a terminal station at Highway 7. This exttension is not expected to be built in the near future.
The line forms a rough U-shape. Its western leg starts at the northern terminus of Downsview station, at Sheppard Avenue and W.R. Allen Road ("Allen Road"). The line follows the Allen Road, which becomes a small expressway, travelling in its median for 6 km. Continuing southeast below the Cedarvale and Nordheimer Ravines, it turns south under a short stretch of Spadina Road. After sharing the Bloor-Danforth's Spadina and St. George stations, the line turns south again under Queen's Park, passing to one side of the legislature, and running the full length of University Avenue beyond. It turns east on Front Street to serve Union Station, Toronto's main rail hub, and then north.
The eastern leg runs straight up Yonge Street for 16 km, crossing the Bloor-Danforth line again at Bloor-Yonge, and the Sheppard line at Sheppard-Yonge, before reaching its northern terminus at Finch station.
The line is generally underground, but has several surface or elevated sections between Downsview and Eglinton West, and between Bloor and Eglinton. Most of the tunnel was constructed by cut-and-cover, but some was bored, as noted below. All stations, whether by transfer or fare-paid terminal, connect to surface TTC bus and/or streetcar routes. Other surface and train connections are noted below.
As of 1 October 2004, stations marked have elevators for wheelchair access. By the end of 2005, an accessible elevator will be added at Eglinton West station.

Chapter: Central Kentucky
The central Kentucky chapter is one of the oldest chapters within KFTC. We are a diverse group of people who care about making our communities healthy and safe for all people. Our chapter members are interested in a range of issues, but currently we are working on educating folks about democracy through our restoration of voting rights campaign and voter empowerment work, creating a public dialogue about safe spaces through our safe restrooms campaign, and focusing on economic injustices within Lexington through our economic justice survey project. Feel Please join us at our next chapter meeting or one of our upcoming events. Meet other chapter members and learn about the exciting work we're doing and how you can be a part of it!
