It doesn't really matter to me but I do wonder whether either or both Michael Black and partner John Morgan, is religious or Christian. We haven't been told what their religious affiliation is or is not.
This could just as easily be about homophobic Christians versus gay Christians as about Christians versus gays.
Whether either one of them is religious or regarless if they are hetro or gay, it makes no difference in the provision of goods and services. That service was denied because they were both male and requested a double bed. Their legal teams argument that they were not in a civil partnership again has no bearing on if a service should or should not be provided. Its blatent homophobic discrimination.
Pavlos I have to ask- How do they know what heterosexual couples get up to in their double rooms? I vividly remember talking to a small hotel owner who regailed me with hair-curling stories of what sexual sheenanigans her male and female guests got up to in her rooms!
I think they must spy on their guests don't you?
It's a funny situation when you think about what has come out of the recent equal marriage arguments.
For example, some (wrongly) say that marriage is a religious (Christian) ceremony.
Well, if that's the case, then some people's religious beliefs, or lack of, might mean that they don't want a marriage for the very reason that it's something religious or Christian, i.e. as part of their own belief system they reject marriage.
So turning an unmarried couple (straight or gay) away could therefore been seen as discriminating against them for their religious beliefs (or lack of)…
Maybe I'm over-thinking it.
No, you are quite right to point out this important point, good post Jake.
Talking about the Bull's of Cornwall, does anyone know the outcome from when they took their case to Europe?
I read recently the Bulls have decided to take it to the European court, but, obviously, only as a ploy to put off paying the compensation and to keep getting subsidised by the Christian Legal Centre. They're a pair of rogues.
Lawyers for Wilkinson argued that a person offering bed and breakfast in their own home was entitled to refuse to permit persons who were not married or in a civil partnership to share a double bed.
But that evil cow Wilkinson would never have given them a room even if they were in a civil partnership.
Which is why we need marriage equality .
But then they'd just use their own definition of marriage just like the Bulls did on one version of their website…
They could try, but marriage is a legal construct, and even a religious marriage is not legal until the registry has been signed.
If they tried the old "but it says in the Bible…" line, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Check out this prayer request for Susanne Wilkinson so you'll understand the degree of bonkers we are dealing with here.
@Pavlos; just read one of the prayer requests for Mrs Wilkinson where they talk about "the homosexual fury" , I'm tempted to put in one for all gays asking for a prayer to the sky fairy against these sanctimonious self-serving hypocrites and seeing how far it gets !……..
B mwaaaaaah! (laughs out loud) -
Christian Doctrine appears to be yet another site associated with the Christian Institute, Christian Concern, Christian Legal Centre. It also seems quite extreme in its views.
Their obsession with homosexuality is mind boggling.
Oh, I was so tempted to post a comment, but I would probably have police banging on the door, I am so outraged!
The phrase "Christian Mafia" springs to mind, but this is more KKK! -
God helps those that help themselves.
They keep loosing because god knows they are wrong, they are just not listening to god.
They should pray for themselves.
The Swiss Bed and Breakfast
"A warm & friendly welcome awaits all guests at Susanne Wilkinson's Swiss Bed & Breakfast in the idyllic village of Cookham, near Maidenhead in Berkshire. This Swiss-English family offers first class hospitality in their spacious & comfortable home to business, tourist or family visitors from all around the world. English, French and German spokenSituated within a large garden in a tranquil lane of this rural village and next to a golf course and National Trust land which leads to the nearby River Thames, the B & B accommodation is offered within two beautifully presented double bedrooms with en-suite, and a single room with its own private bathroom facilities. In summer the outside swimming pool may be used by arrangement."
Oops! No mention of ban on gay or unmarried couples on website.-
Nor of "Christian" principles.
My question is:
Had they actually stated their provisos on their website, would it have made any difference?Somehow, I think the combined hounds of Pink News would still be baying for their blood.
To which my counter-question would be: if they had, do you think the couple in question would have chosen that B&B in the first place, any more than an elderly "Christian" couple would choose one that quite clearly was aimed at gay male clientele?
My impression of the couple here is not that they're what you might call rabid activists out to make a point, but two rather decent sorts who made a booking in good faith and were shocked to be barred from entering a business they'd already paid a deposit to.
OK, I see where you are coming from.
But that said, as I asked the question earlier, why not?
I think it perfectly acceptable if outfits specify precisely what they are about, and can alert people beforehand. That way customers are fully aware of the restrictions. I'm sure no pet lover would be offended if a B&B said "No dogs please", any more than saying "No homosexual couples please".
I'm sure most gay people would much prefer to see that than show up in some pious home where both they and their Christian hosts all feel uncomfortable.-
If they said outright on their website that they had a no gay couples policy then they would already have infringed equality regulations, just as they would if they had advertised a no black couples or a no Jewish couples or no Irish couples or a no atheist couples ban.
You can see how far reaching this could be if the likes of the Wilkinson's and the Bull's won their court cases, why stop at barring gays? -
Rather than writing "A warm and friendly welcome awaits all guests", which is patently untrue, they could have said something like "Please note this is a traditional Christian household" or something like that, which would have been a lawful yet adequate signal of the "hosts'" values.
I would like to know how many unmarried heterosexual couples have been turned away under the same "fine print" (although Checking their website, I could find no such prerequeste). I have a feeling no such couple exists, despite many couples not being married.
I would also like to know their EXACT definition of marrage. Do they include the marrage status tax breaks give when a couple have lived together for many years? What about polygymous marrage? Marrage from overseas? Marrage from different religions? Marrage from same gender couples (in some countries it is legal, horray!)
I would very much like to know the answer to these questions. I highly doubt they have considered the above forms of marrage as "non-marrage", only when same gender couples are concerned.
Common law! that's what it's called, the tax break version lol
I have NO idea why any self respecting gay man would want to stay in a flea infested cess-pit like the outfit this old bat runs… People it is easy to avoid… If it looks like you would have to fight with the bed bugs for a space under the blankets then it is probably a good idea not to stay there…
xtian martyrs once again on a journey to a good drubbing in the courts. CP/marriage status is of no consequence in the provision of goods and services. Irrespective of 'bed and brekafast in their own home' this B&B is a business and therefore cannot discriminate on the basis of any protective characteristic. They were refused a bed because they were of the same sex, not because they were unmarried. These xtian muppets will try and cover up their bigotry but we know it is bigotry, plain and simple
"It was simply the provision of the double bed which Mrs Wilkinson believed was wrong."
Why are people like this so obsessed with sex? Mind your own business! If you can't stop thinking about what people may or may not be getting up to in the privacy of their own rooms then you shouldn't be running a B and B.
she is discriminating against EVERYONE who doesn't live by her own narrow rules, gay couples, unmarried heteros, who knows, divorcees on their second marriage, maybe. She is forcing people to abide by HER definition of 'moral'.
Yes, but my honest and genuine question is: Why not?
Or will you be the first to complain that gay bars and hotels are full of straights with screaming children?-
I take your point, Spanner, but I am on the committee of a social club which this year gave equal rights to females. We are keen for women to join the committee to breathe new life and ideas into the Club, but so far no woman has shown any interest.
Your idea that families are desperate to expose their children to gay bars and hotels is understandable but wrong, both practically and morally.-
That's not what I am saying.
I am merely extrapolating the effects of an equal rights policy applied to any and all situations. I for one like the idea of men-only golf clubs, or Women's institutes etc. So where does one draw the line?-
But aren't the rules different for clubs? A B&B is as much a service aimed at the public as a hotel is, isn't it?
Well, maybe they are, but one can imagine that would be next on the equalities hitlist.
I am merely trying to define if there is a line drawn in the sand, if any.
Yes-but how does she know WHAT any couple of either both or opposite sexes are getting up to in her rooms? I mean-you don`t have to have sex in a double bed-you can have it on the floor,behind the door-in the bathroom-anywhere. Unless she has a "BigBrother" type of establishment where all guests are monitored 24 hours a day for any sign of any sexual activity.
This is happening AGAIN?!
This lady was clearly living under a rock.
If you are in the service industry you really cannot hold such views (or voice them at any rate).
Also the argument that there is no discrimination because they are not civil partners is laughable! Would she refuse an unwed man and woman a room…?
If she does she is losing a lot of business. -
I own a B&B in Prince Edward County in Ontario Canada. And BTW I am lesbian and would love to have you stay with me!! Any time fellas. http://www.bbcanada.com/saraswatispa
If I ran a cafe and refused to serve a customer because he or she was 'foreign looking'… I'd be sued.
If I was a bus driver and refused to let a disabled passenger board. I'd be sued
These are all businesses and are subject to the discrimination laws that exist for the very reason to protect people from discrimination.
Clearly these luddites are still stuck in the stone age and thus need a good wake up call. Perhaps being sued might just be the tonic they need.
Good luck to Mr Black and Mr Morgan!
Susanne; wake up and join the 21st Century for facks sake!!!
Religion has no place in a business. You are providing a service… and thus you must respect everyone. Religion has no place to come before providing a service to the public. Leave religion at home. if your business is your home, you must separate these.
I don't agree with all the death-threats, arson-threats and other threats of violence that have been made against Mrs. Wilkinson – if we behaved in such a manner it will give ammunition to the anti-gay brigade.
It would be better to go to Tripadvisor and write a scathing review about the Swiss B+B instead.
At one time B+B's got away with displaying 'No Blacks' signs in their windows, something that would get them shut down straight away nowadays. If you are going to run a business you have to put any prejudices, religious or otherwise, aside. -
"Let me be clear about this – God still loves bigots, and so does the church, but they are in error. The scale of their sin cannot be disregarded, and for the sake of both them and others who might be led astray it is essential that this error is made abundantly clear, and that the state recognises the truth. Sadly, this involves denying them some basic legal rights, for the good of both them and society at large.
It's the loving thing to do."
This is a straightforward case, surely. The only possible defense is "we object to their unmarried status". In which case, the prosecution only has to find one unmarried couple who booked in under different surnames to win the case. If the owners refuse to open their books, they effectively admit their guilt.
What we should be pressing for is the removal of the license from the bigots. It is time the equality laws had some bite, and people who provide a service be made to understand they have responsibilities, and that, if these are incompatible with their beliefs, then tough, find another job!-
Proof of guilt cannot be determined on omission.
One is charged with committing an act, not failing to.
I think you might find this is not as clear-cut as you may think.-
Oh yes you can spanner.
If you stand by and watch someone rape someone, you can be held accountable even though you did nothing. And have you heard of handling stolen goods, you didn't steal the item and may not know it is stolen but you can still be liable. Harbouring a criminal is punishable by law.
Willingly doing nothing can be as bad as doing something.
Ignorance is no defence in law, especially around a business.
With the bulls case isn't exactly invisible. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they are testing the law to see if they have found a limit, it might come out that they did this deliberately to try and help the bulls case that is being looked over in the European courts.
You are referring to failure to prevent a crime, not to show by not doing something you are by default guilty of a crime; that is a really convoluted and potentially hazardous legal precedent, and no court would accept it.
I am not sure, but I think their defence is it's their home so they should be allowed to decide who can use the rooms, in particular "the big doubt bed" as she keeps referring to it.
And this is from someone who considers their religion to be the most 'tolerant' & 'loving'. Wowsers. If this is tolerance & love I'd shudder to think what intolerance & hate consists of.
PLEASE COME AND WORSHIP THE REAL GOD …GOD IS A WORD WITH AN "O" MISSING THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THE "O" DONT ALREADY HAVE THE GOOD IN THEIR HEART .GOD IS GOOD .GOOD IS ME ! I HAVE NO NEED TO GO TO A CHURCH TO FIND MY EXTRA "O" ITS RIGHT HERE INSIDE MY HEART ! http://WWW.CHECKIN4LESS.COM

Damon Wright to appear in court this morning charged with murder of Southampton dad
5:40pm Tuesday 27th August 2013 in News
A 31-year-old Bournemouth man has been charged with the murder of a Hampshire dad.
Damon Wright, of Pine Vale Crescent, Bournemouth, Dorset will appear at Southampton magistrates' court this morning charged with the murder of Kevin Wyeth, whose body was found in Southampton early on Saturday, August 24.
Anton Allera, Senior District Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in Wessex said: "I have today authorised Hampshire Constabulary to charge Damon Wright with the murder of Kevin Wyeth, 31, from Woolston, Southampton.
"Mr Wyeth was found severely injured and unconscious in an alley that runs between Defender Road and Tankerville Road, in Southampton, in the early hours of Saturday. He died as a result of his injuries.
"I have carefully considered the evidence currently available in this case and I am satisfied that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Damon Wright to be charged with an offence of murder.
"This decision was made in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors."
Detective Inspector Ellie Hurd from the Major Crime Investigation Team said: "I would like to thank the local community in the Woolston area for their assistance with our investigation which has led to today's charge."

How a secretive panel uses data that distorts doctors' pay
When Harinath Sheela was busiest at his gastroenterology clinic, it seemed he could bend the limits of time. Twelve colonoscopies and four other procedures was a typical day for him, according to Florida records for 2012. If the American Medical Association's assumptions about procedure times are correct, that much work would take about 26 hours. Sheela's typical day was nine or 10. "I have experience," the Yale-trained, Orlando-based doctor said. "I'm not that slow; I'm not fast. I'm thorough." This seemingly miraculous proficiency, which yields good pay for doctors who perform colonoscopies, reveals one of the fundamental flaws in the pricing of U.S. health care, a Washington Post investigation has found.

I agree. The branding image is atrocious. I dont know why he doesnt get out there as saying he is the president that signed by the largest tax cut in American history into law as well as the largest spending cut into law.
Back in the day... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123111279694652423.html
That is true.
I mean that is a philosophical debate we need to have as a nation, but it isnt a budgetary debate. There are a lot of philosophical debates we need to have but for the moment they arent the debates we need to be having. I dont know if you saw it but the CBO is projecting that the budget deficit is ONLY $1.3T. I say only because it was projected before the year to be $1.7T. $400B isnt much, but is is substantial considering it is 23% less than was projected.
Haha, you sound like Jon Stewart. He did a segment where he said we just need to cut 7000 NPR's to balance the budget. But yea that idea made me laugh quite a bit.
http://www.mlive.com/business/index....tables_on.html I know you will love this, i admit it cracked me up.
In 2010 their expenses were $192M but they claim that they get no handouts from the federal government and all that money is from "competitive grants" and things like that. About 6% of their money is government grants from federal, state, and local governments.
I really think there is a role for a news organization like CSPAN and NPR as well as BBC and al-Jazerra. I agree with your distinction between state funded and state run though.
I couldnt even say to be honest, i believe i have only read 2-3 articles from them.
I agree they are, sorry i was trying to say that NPR i didnt avoid it because it was bias. HuffPo and Drudge are bias, sorry for the confusion.

#11 – Pastor Donnie McClurkin's Gay Church
(The Rev Irene Monroe in November of 2009 wrote this story which remains a frequently read story and would become a pattern in several black churches across the US. -Ed)
The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) is the largest African American and largest Pentecostal church in the United States.
And as the largest denominational black church in the country it is also the loudest in rebuking homosexuality.
With many of the gospel music industry mega-stars from COGIC, the church's charismatic worship style shouts to a black gay male queer gospel aesthetic every Sunday. And the church is conflicted with itself.
Unfortuantely, these black gay male mega-stars are always forced to go back into the closet denouncing publicly their sexual orientation at the church's annual convocation.
Case in point: Speaking at the COGIC's 102nd Holy Convocation International Youth Department Worship Service on November 7 held at the Memphis Cook Convention Center, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, the poster boy for African American ex-gay ministries, was one of them.
"God did not call you to such perversions. Your only hope is Jesus Christ. Were it not for this Jesus I would be a homosexual today. This God is a deliverer," McClurkin told his audience.
McClurkin attributed his homosexuality to being raped twice as a child, first at age eight at his brother's funeral by his uncle, and then at age thirteen by his cousin, his uncle's son.
Confusing same-gender sexual violence as homosexuality, McClurkin misinterpreted the molestation as the reason for his gay sexual orientation. McClurkin "testi-lies" that his cure was done by a deliverance from God and a restoration of his manhood by becoming the biological father of a child
In his book "Eternal Victim, Eternal Victor," McClurkin writes, ""The abnormal use of my sexuality continued until I came to realize that I was broken and that homosexuality was not God's intention…for my masculinity."
At the Convocation McClurkin espoused his ex-gay rhetoric by castigating former gospel industry worker Tonéx (Anthony Charles Williams II) who unapologetically stated that he "didn't struggle with his sexual attraction to men."
A talented singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, rapper, dancer, producer, and preacher, Tonéx has won six Stellar Awards, a GMA Award, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Soul Gospel Album for his 2004 gold album "Out The Box."
Known for his outlandish multi-colored hairstyles and flamboyant garbs with feather boas, fur coats,Tonéx's image caused consternation in the black gospel and contemporary Christian music communities.
"It wasn't me trying to make a statement; I've always been different," he told George Varga of the San Diego Union-Tribune. "And it really worked. Out of church, people are always asking me what my tattoos mean."
According to McClurkin black males, like Tonéx, are gay because of sexual molestation, an absentee father, or they didn't have strong male images around them. Tonéx is the son of the revered late, Dr. Anthony Williams, Senior Pastor and District Elder in the Truth Apostolic Community Church in suburban Spring Valley.
In an open letter to the Convocation, Bishop Yvette Flunder, an out lesbian who is a third generation preacher with roots in the Church of God in Christ, licensed in the COGIC, and is now the Presiding Bishop of The Fellowship and Senior Pastor, City of Refuge United Church of Christ, wrote the following:
"I watched a clip of Pastor Donnie McClurkin at the COGIC Convocation Nov11, 2009 where he used the words perversion and vampirism in reference to feminine young men and 'evil' butch young ladies. He suggested that the church had failed them and not been active enough in helping these young people find deliverance. He ranted against gospel artist and pastor Tonéx with regard to Tonéx's recent affirmation of his own same gender orientation."
Pastor Donnie knows like I know that Tonéx is more the 'rule' than the exception to the rule. What makes Tonéx unique is not that he is a Gay gospel music artist and Pastor but that he told the truth about his sexuality, while not claiming to be delivered," Gay males continue to find ways of being supported in the COGIC.
For example, "blaquebigayministers" is a Yahoo gay ministers group, boasting 787 members since July 2000 and was founded by COGIC Elder Ronald Kimbrew. Kimbrew served as the Arkansas 1st Jurisdiction as the Assistant Secretary of the Pastors & Elders Council of COGIC from December 1996 to March 19, 2005 and his now the Public Relations Director at Greater Trinity, a COGIC congregation in Arkansas.
The "blaquebigayministers" website states the following:
"WELCOME. This fellowship is for support and encouragement especially of black Christian ministers and friends who are "family" (bi or same-gender loving) and need a place of refuge. Enjoy the "fellowship."
Kimbrew organized meetings of bisexual and same-gender loving COGIC ministers for most of the national meetings like Memphis Holy Convocation that McClurkin now denounces but use to take part in.
A reported following the Convocation asked "Is COGIC going to be silent while an organized culture of homosexual ministers and bishops populate its pulpits?
And the answer is yes.
COGIC shouts to a black gay male queer gospel aesthetic every Sunday and no one knows it better than McClurkin himself.
COGIC was formed in 1897 by a group of disfellowshipped Baptists. I wonder if the guys were disfellowshipped because they were gay.
Rev. Irene Monroe is a Ford Fellow and doctoral candidate at Harvard Divinity School. One of Monroe's outreach ministries is the several religion columns she writes - "The Religion Thang," for In Newsweekly, the largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender newspaper that circulates widely throughout New England, "Faith Matters" for The Advocate Magazine, a national gay & lesbian magazine, and "Queer Take," for The Witness, a progressive Episcopalian journal. Her writings have also appeared in Boston Herald and in the Boston Globe. Her award-winning essay, "Louis Farrakhan's Ministry of Misogyny and Homophobia", was greeted with critical acclaim. Monroe states that her "columns are an interdisciplinary approach drawing on critical race theory, African American , queer and religious studies. As an religion columnist I try to inform the public of the role religion plays in discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. Because homophobia is both a hatred of the "other " and it's usually acted upon 'in the name of religion," by reporting religion in the news I aim to highlight how religious intolerance and fundamentalism not only shatters the goal of American democracy, but also aids in perpetuating other forms of oppression such as racism, sexism, classism and anti-Semitism."

It's irrelevant if I once upon a time knew Donnie. Fact: I know too many pulpit pastors with same sex secrets(SSS) . And yes, I've dated a few pastors, slept with a few and been in a few long-term monogamous relationships too. I was once a sang'n choir boy turned professional who traveled continents.
Donnie, Rev. DL Foster and others who are professed ex-gays are fooling no one! Black church folks know God doesn't really change sexual orientation. I know first hand these pastors will hoodwink you and your mama as long as the invites and checks keeps coming.
I told a gay COGIC pastor to simply give it up, if he's so unhappy. He said, "I can't – that's all I know." I eventually relinquished the relationship because he knew all about church but very little about himself. Today, he remains behind the pulpit – tormented. That's why Donnie's message was useless; it caused more harm by pushing gay, lesbian, bi and questioning congregants and officials deeper undercover (DL).
Saints, I know what I'm talking about!!! This ain't speculation, or pontification – it's conclusive, creditable, and confirmed. After I began the road of self actualization, I kept singing and taking your money but eventually let it all go. I stopped fooling you and me.
Because I'm self-actualized: have realistic perceptions of myself, others and the world around me ( that same something Bishop Carlton Pearson discovered). I let it ALL go! I'm a Humanist! I didn't believe in what I was sing anymore. Yes, I miss all the stage, show, fun and parties, but I'll gladly hand it over for my total self awareness.
I wish more gay church folk would take the first step toward self-actualization. That's when life really begins.
It is always a bit dubious for me when black-identified persons write under the cover of European cosmpolitanism (eg. hegemony), using white privilege to bash black institutions that are homophobic.
Simply put, as one who is HDS "mis"educated as well, Irene should be a bit more precise with the facts, and a little more charitable of those she outs.
This means, a) Donnie McClurkin is not COGIC. He is one of many people who gets invited to COGIC meetings. And gay bashing is Donnie's thing. It got him invited to the Republican National Convention in 2004. It's his trademark since his biography came out. b) Bishop Yvette Flunder knows her church of origin. She has never disowned it, and by and large it has never disowned her. Her uncle, Bishop W.W. Hamilton, is a member of the highest governing body, the 12-member general board. And when her mother died, a general board member preached a local funeral and the presiding bishop preached the national funeral and six general board members attended. c) Why follow the mean-spirited tactics of self-hating gay bashers like D.L. Foster and again out this COGIC minister who founded this webgroup for SGL black Pentecostal preachers? That's pretty meanspirited for someone who would purport to be progressive? I'm a heterosexual, 3rd generation minister, who has spent some time in COGIC, and more in Apostolic traditions, who now works in the mainline for many reasons. But it's counterproductive to simply get into shouting matches and name calling contests with the opposition. It's not like Tonex is going to become Episcopalian or UCC — they probably couldn't handle who he is (since he's more than SGL!) either. And that's the point. At least Flunder is sensitve to knowing that SGL is not the end all, be all, and hence The Fellowship organization she has created creates space for SGL persons to be all of who they are, including being Pentecostal. COGIC, like ALL historically black denominations are homophobic in their institutional rhetoric. Perhaps one reason they are more so than other groups is because they as a denomination have driven Gospel music culture more than Baptist and Methodist denominations. Regardless, homophobic preaching is a part of black culture, and the critique of most preaching, from voices like Cornel West and Mike Dyson is not of the Pentecostal church, because they have spent so little time in that tradition. They are Baptist, and that's what they know. So, at least be consistent. The AME church passed a resolution against gay marriage too, not just COGIC. I don't know any openly SGL AME preachers. And when Victory Church in Atlanta became ONA, they left the National Baptist Convention and joined the UCC. So let's be balanced here, because none of this provocative rhetoric gets heard in the black community. Yes, I'm reading this blog here, but what other black church folks are reading it, really???? This does nothing to push forward Bishop Flunder's basic proposal for a non-punitive conversation on human sexuality in the black church.

Nice trousers
I had to wear these as knees cannot be seen in the temple
Right where were we
ah yes im a cripple and about to dive where there are sharks. OK.
The six of us got the boat to Ko Tao and managed to get holed up in some decent accomodation near the beach front. as usual first night in a new place was spent getting Changed up, a phrase ive grown accustomed to and may try to copyrite. we'd all decided to do some diving and the next day got it all booked. Phil and I as qualified divers would do a couple of fun dives and Keith, Gaz, Andy and Wei would do an intro course before joining us for the second fun dive.
It must also be mentioned that we again hired scooters and i was back in the saddle like i'd never been away. No accidents this time tho, probably because i went everywhere at 4mph but what the hey. on the day of the dive i got the ok from the local doc and all my wounds got the waterproof bandage treatment and i was good to go. we took the local dive boat out to a place called Mango bay where the others were deposited
Food time
The owners soon regretted their all you could eat policy
in the shallow regions to go through the sfety and training drills. Phil and i kitted up and went off diving with some nutjob instructor called Marcus who, despite being Swiss , was clearly a couple of Changs short of a six pack. after forgetting his mask before jumping in he took us on a dive round the local by where we saw lots of fish, coral and various sea dwelling creatures. About halfway through Marcus suddenly halted and banked violently right and beckoned us to follow as he bolted across the sea bed. it was only after the rest of the dive and we had surfaced did we found out that we had swum into the nesting area of the triggerfish which will attack anything that encroaches into its nesting area. Marcus mentioned that he probably should have told us this info before laughing nervously and cracking open a beer. Like i said nutjob.
After a brief lunch we met up with the others and set out for our second dive. sadly Keith and Wei didnt join us due to ear problems (Keith) and a large amount of seawater ingested (Wei).
Itr was decided that the Phil and
Panchenko Junior
Some kid who challenged Phil to a game of connect four. the kid won
i should act as buddys to Gaz and Andy as being the experienced divers we could assist them in any problems. so phil, who hadnt dived for a year and me who'd only done five dives in his life (four of them in the Solent for Gods sake) were in charge of the others. sounds promising.
The area we dived i turned out to have an extreme current and meant any movement was against the motion of the water. Even so the views were superb and the fish numerous and colourful. after a while both Phil and i got a nudge from our guide and i turned and saw crazy Marcus taking Gaz and Andy towards the surface. Hmm. Phil and i carried on and finished our dive and upon getting back on the boat found that because of the extreme current Gaz and Andy had used up a load of air. so much so that by the time they had done a decompression stop Gary was breathing of Marcus' air and had just 5 bar left. Close stuff indeed. in reality there was never any danger and crazy swiss handled the situation like a pro. Gary seems intent
Bloody Pancenko
that he was close to the end but i think thats just to impress the ladies. Honestly using your own predicament to impress girls, wouldn't find me doing that.
After Ko tao we journeyed to Samui where we spent a few more days on ther beers and just chilling on the beach, the overriding memory of Samui being the fellas who would roam the streets at night with monkeys. Their tactic was to throw the monkey at you and then charge you to have a photo taken, poor little monkey had no idea and just clung to you for dear life,. Cute little buggers tho, monkeytastic. after Samui was Krabi where i hoped to dive some more but simply ran out of time. and then without warning our time in Thailand was over. with hearts saddened we all went our seperate ways, Andy and Wei back to England, Phil off to Malaysia and Gaz, Keith and i to OZ. it has to said that a cracking time had been had by all and Thailand holds many memories, all good apart from my Evel Knieval moment.
So here I am now in Sydney cafe after arriving yesterday morning. i
Whos that
Some fella
should also mention that in that time i have got a new phone bank account and i start my new job on monday. some telesales job hawking insurance for a bank i think. so just remember when someone calls to send you stuff and they sound far away it might just be me. so a few months of dull employment await but the financial benefit is pretty good and it will allow me to hit Australia after Christmas with new vigour and a wad of cash.
So or the time being its good bye. i will continue to update you all with news when i have it. Hope everyone is good and i look forward to hearing from u all
By the way the Jammo School of Scootering Excellance will be open early 2007 so book now

Abstract: Herpesviruses constitute a very large and diverse family of DNA viruses, which can generally be subdivided in alpha-, beta- and gammaherpesvirus subfamilies. Increasing evidence indicates that many herpesviruses interact with cytoskeleton-regulating Rho GTPase signaling pathways during different phases of their replication cycle. Because of the large differences between herpesvirus subfamilies, the molecular mechanisms and specific consequences of individual herpesvirus interactions with Rho GTPase signaling may differ. However, some evolutionary distinct but similar general effects on Rho GTPase signaling and the cytoskeleton have also been reported. Examples of these include Rho GTPase-mediated nuclear translocation of virus during entry in a host cell and Rho GTPase-mediated viral cell-to-cell spread during later stages of infection. The current review gives an overview of both general and individual interactions of herpesviruses with Rho GTPase signaling.

He is 16 and a Sophomore in High School. He's been here for almost 10 years
Being enrolled in school is one qualifying factor. So being in high school counts in his favor.
However, USCIS is not yet accepting applications for deferred action. He will need to wait 60 days or so until they have their process in place.
See the USCIS "frequently asked questions" here:
Most likely, once USCIS announces how to proceed.
1. Obama's action is a policy and not a law. It is not an Act.
2. USCIS has yet to announce how the application process will be carried on.
3. I will be updating http://engnishimura.com/faqs/deferred-action-yo... as details become available.
4. Obama's policy does not provide immigration status. It only prevents qualifying individuals from being deported and may provide them with a work permit.

Little Cigars Challenged
David Savona
Posted: May 19, 2006
The attorneys general of 40 states petitioned the U.S. government yesterday to change federal regulations on "little cigars." Calling the smokes "cigarettes wrapped in brown paper," the group said it wants the Department of the Treasury's Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to change the way little cigars are taxed and regulated.
Little cigars are taxed under a different classification from cigarettes and face different restrictions in many states. They are quite popular in the United States. According to numbers provided by the attorneys general, who attributed them to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 3.8 billion little cigars were smoked in 2005 in the United States, up nearly 1 billion units from 2004.
"The coordinated press releases and the petition by the states show a lack of understanding about little cigars," said Norman F. Sharp, president of the Cigar Association of America. "In addition, the petition filed by the states is misleading in their assertion that the states tax little cigars at a lower rate than cigarettes. In 22 states little cigars are taxed at either rates the same as cigarettes or even higher. In 19 of those states, the rates are higher."
Most little cigars are made by machine using a mixture of chopped tobacco and flavorings, and some have filters, such as the one shown in a photograph supplied by the attorneys general comparing some little cigars to cigarettes and larger cigars.
There is a very small portion of the little-cigar market that is targeted to premium cigar smokers, and these smokes are quite different. They are mini versions of big cigars that are often handmade and typically contain only tobacco and do not have filters.

Christmas 2008 A collection of our Christmas submissions from 2008!
Author Comments
Hi everyone. This is my first-ever completed film, made for Newgrounds' Christmas 2008 collection.
It is about a young boy who dreams of journeying in Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve.
This might be a little soft-toned for Newgrounds, but I hope that some of you will appreciate it anyway. It took me about a year of intermittent work.
Some of the scenes are quite dark, so it is best viewed in dim or no light. Oh, and you probably need a fast computer for it to play smoothly...
Happy holidays!
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 23, 2008
That was very sweet...i don't think it's too soft-toned for NG, it's probably the kind of thing people should get more exposure to.
It seemed rather like an adaption of the myth of Phaethon only with a happy ending.
Hmm, I've never read that myth. Greek myths are a bit of a blind spot in my education...
Thanks for the review.

It was verry nice to watch, but dont get the story i think.
the kid dreamd that he was in santas sled and then it wasnt real

why would a kid dream somthing like that?
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 23, 2008
i dont know wtf....
i dont really know what was going on but the art work was brilliant
and i think i nearly cried
The first part is in the description: "It is about a young boy who dreams of journeying in Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve."
As he's marveling at the sights (in his dream), Santa's hat is blown off by the wind and lands near him. So the boy turns around to give it back to Santa and gets a good look at him for the first time, only to see Santa's beard also blown off by the wind, and Santa revealed to be a lifeless straw scarecrow with button eyes. At this point, the dream turns into a nightmare and the reindeer fly off, leaving the sleigh to fall to the ground. Then (back in the real world), a shadow falls over the sleeping boy, a hand with a Santa-like sleeve pulls up his blanket, gently pats his hair, and then leaves. The boy wakes up and sits up, only to see a departing shadow at his door. The cat on the couch turns its ears at the sound of footsteps, but doesn't open its eyes. Then we see the presents left under the tree, and the hand that may belong to Santa takes a cookie from the table that was left for him.
Hope that helped.
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 23, 2008

Creationism in Schools

Thu January 26, 2012
Indiana Senate Committee Gives the Go-Ahead to Teaching Creationism in Public Schools
By Kevin Willis
An Indiana Senate panel has approved a bill that would allow creationism to be taught in the Hoosier State's public schools. The Senate Education Committee voted 8-to-2 to send the legislation to the full Indiana Senate despite pleas from scientists and some religious leaders to keep religion out of public school science classrooms.
The measure allows schools to authorize what it calls "the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life", and specifically mentions "creation science" as one such theory. Creationism is the belief that the Earth and its creations were made by a deity.

Spy Princess will be reissued in paperback by Scholastic this spring.
Finished: A Sword Named Truth, working on Firejive,, comedy of manners Rondo Allegro (set in 1799-1806), and a sequel to Lhind the Thief, working title, Lhind the Spy.With Dave Trowbridge, the rewrite of Exordium three, A Prison Unsought. And with Rachel Manija Brown, Firestorm, third book in the Change series, the first of which, Stranger, will come out from Viking in November. Hostage, the second book, will come out not long after.
Why I link my books here whenever I can
BVC was formed by a bunch of writers as a cooperative publishing effort. Books offered cross all genres, from science fiction to romance to historical to mainstream. We function as editors, copyeditors, formatters, cover artists, and site maintainers. We offer both reprints (currently in e-form, but we're looking at print options) and new books. 95% of the proceeds go to the authors! That means that the author actually earns most of the money you pay, instead of publishers and big venues like Amazon, B&N, and iTunes.

Why is the like operator case sensitive in data explorer? Which database is being used on the backend? Sql Server's like operator was case insensitive the last time I checked.
I believe it just depends on the default collation in use. You ought to be able to change it with the COLLATE clause, I have now located a query to retrieve the available collations. And I did have the syntax right, now updated to show the variation. |

Findings about manganese in soybean production
Manganese can do soybeans a lot of good in many situations, according to field projects and trials by DuPont Pioneer agronomists. Keith Diedrick, area agronomist, provided a lengthy write-up of findings and recommendations. A short summary of what he wrote is included here.
- Soybeans are more often deficient in manganese than in other micronutrients, and respond well to manganese fertilizers when deficient.
- Manganese is more likely to be deficient in sandy soils, dry soils, high organic matter soils, and soils with high pH levels.
- Fields with manganese deficiency are seldom affected uniformly. Manganese deficiency symptoms may also vary from field to field, and are strongly tied to soil properties.
- Plant tissue analysis is the best tool for confirming a manganese deficiency. Randomly select a number of plants, picking the youngest fully-opened trifoliate from each.
- To correct manganese deficiencies, a number of manganese sources may be used, with preference to chelated forms of manganese (as opposed to salt forms) supplied by foliar application.
- To avoid weed control efficacy and nutrient absorption issues when tankmixing with glyphosate:
- Use the label-recommended rate of spray-grade ammonium sulfate (usually 8.5 to 17 lb per 100 gallons) in the carrier, and
- Add the products in the correct order: 1) water, 2) AMS, 3) glyphosate, 4) chelated manganese (EDTA preferred).

The Reward of Godliness
In today's devotional, I want to draw your attention to the importance of the pursuit of godliness. Let's look at 1 Timothy 6:6,
Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
What an incredible truth. Godliness coupled with contentment is great gain. Not just gain, GREAT gain!
Over and over in Scripture, God highlights the importance and reward of godliness. For instance, it says in Psalm 4:3, That the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly. 2 Peter says the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations. Those are great rewards!
But there is more. Look at 1 Timothy 4:7-8,
But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
It could not be more clear! There is profit in godliness, and that profit is not only in this life, but in the life that is to come. Godliness is going to pay off in both this life and into eternity!
So it makes sense to make this pursuit of godliness a priority! Even if people want to kick you every time you do something that is right, you need to stay with it.
Determine today to make godliness an everyday pursuit. If you do, you will reap the rewards of godliness, great gain and profit, not just in this life, but for eternity.
