This is a great way to show your support and appreciation for the information already on Find A Grave. Get out and volunteer to take some photos's. Photo volunteering has helped me find, as a new member, different ideas on how to search for my own elusive ancestors.
I am currently researching the Dumas, McEntyre, Layfield, Hathcock & Autrey name from St Clair, County Alabama.
The Hathcock line is also from Cullmann
Alabama, too.
Found recently are McEntyre's in Gordon County & Habersham County, Ga and Etowah County Al .. The McEntyre's were also in Rutherford County N.C.
The Dumas family in Hill County, Texas are brother's and sister's of William Andrew Dumas. I see over and over again Will is missing from Ancestry.com family trees.
In Alabama , the Spinks of Hokes Bluff are of interest.
If photo's and/or any information are not correct please let me know. However, I will work only on requested photo's.
Please add any nicknames, maiden names, or if they had a military marker. Some of the larger cemeteries are without any records and any added information is always helpful. If you do not add information to the request it may not appear on the list when we search. It will only show on the main page and if my wi-fi does not work, I cannot see the main page at the cemetery.
Any transfer requested is available unless it is in my family. I would also like to know the connection. This is just to make sure you are not
a commercial entity.
On my managed memorials, please no recent death certificates attached or word for word obits as it could unknowingly violate privacy laws.
Please acknowledge all the volunteers with each request. If you want the entire plot ask for it. It saves resources and time and gives credit where credit is due. Some researcher's only want the one photo. It's a fantastic volunteer system to have as a resource.
Shame and double shame to the number hoarders who do not transfer.You know who you are. There is a higher power than your ego. I have people who will not transfer because they do not want their work to be incomplete. Where are their own ancestors?
My goal is not thousands of records. If in the future someones relative wants to look up a record. I would want them to see correct information. The information from photo's to be readable. Links to correct family members and at least enough research to show the family members in the cemetery. For me, just a name on a piece of paper would be a real disappointment
Note: All photo's are made with a Canon Rebel and edited with Adobe Photoshop. I try to enhance unreadable markers when possible. In these cases the photo is not noted especially for quality, but for information purposes.
Note: Ask for permission to copy any photo.

CSU Update: February 9, 2011
Chancellor Details Impacts of Budget Cuts to Lawmakers
California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed told lawmakers this week that he agreed with Gov. Jerry Brown's decision to immediately address the state's fiscal crisis, but stressed that continued reductions in higher education funding will stall the state's economic recovery and ultimately place its future at risk.
Reed and California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott and University of California President Mark Yudof discussed the potential effects of proposed budget cuts to the three higher education systems of at least $1.4 billion collectively at an Assembly Budget Subcommittee Hearing in Sacramento.
Reed stated that the reinvestment in higher education will drive the state's economic revival. "California's economy depends on the CSU and the rest of higher education, in both the near term and the long term. We are the engine of economic recovery and workforce development in the state."
The proposed $500 million reduction to the CSU's 2011-12 budget would bring state support for the CSU to roughly the same level as 1999-00,but the CSU is currently serving almost 70,000 more students.
The chancellor indicated that a tuition increase passed by the CSU Board of Trustees last November will alleviate some of the budget cut, but increases in health care and energy costs will require the CSU to pay an additional $50 million. Even with the tuition fee increases, the CSU will have to reduce its spending by $400 million.
Reed also said the CSU will need to restructure programs. "We can no longer justify offering practically every major at every campus when many of those majors have exceptionally low enrollments," he said. The CSU will continue to review programs across the system to determine if lower-demand programs can be offered regionally with similar programs at nearby campuses. Reed cautioned that efficiencies will help somewhat, but said the university must do much more in light of the magnitude of the proposed cuts. He cited the restructuring of business practices as a beginning of this endeavor.
Reed also declared that should tax extensions proposed by the governor be passed during a potential special election in June, the CSU will not pursue additional tuition fee increases for 2011-12. If, however, taxpayers do not approve the tax extensions or if the proposal does not reach the ballot, he will revisit this strategy because the university would be at risk of even greater cuts.
Reed also requested that the legislature allow the CSU flexibility and discretion in the budget management process to best position the CSU to take advantage of future reinvestment by the state. More information.

does anyone have an answer to my problem here?
I have a question that I'm hoping someone here can answer. On my most recent trip to WDW I bought the "WDW The Happiest Celebration on Earth" CD. I know that there was one made for Disneyland, but this one was tailored for WDW. It's a 2 disc album and I have run into some programming issues with it. When you put it into iTunes the first CD has all the wrong titles. After some research I learned that it was all the same song titles as the Disneyland CD, this led me to believe that there was an error or that they overlooked part of the programming when making the CD set. However, earlier today (nearly 14 months after I bought the CD) I realized that there are some problems with the track lengths on disc 2. I was wondering if anyone knew the correct track lengths for disc 2 so I would be able to compare and make sure I'm not missing any of the tracks due to iTunes messing up (which has happened in the past). My calculations show that the CD actually holds 4 minutes less than the album cover shows. With some tracks being over a minute longer or shorter than the album cover says they should be (one track is actually 6 minutes shorter on the CD than the album cover shows). If anyone can help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You've read about them in the papers, seen them at the shows, pined over them in magazines - well the wait is over! Meet the Earth Angels, one of Fluevog's contributions to a healthier planet. The uppers are vegetable tanned leather that contain no chrome (a standard waste bi-product of traditional tanning). We were sure to use water-based adhesives, as well as soles that are molded straight from the milk of the Hevea tree - this results in a latex sole that is 100% biodegradable! Combined with all the style and comfort features, the Earth Angels are a shoe with a very small footprint, no matter what your shoe size.
If you're concerned about the environment, these are your shoes.If you're concerned about comfort, quality and style, these are your shoes. If your first name doesn't rhyme with Fluevog, these are your shoes.
(Here at John Fluevog, we are trying to give a variety of customers, a variety of options to suit their particular needs, beliefs, eco-standing, style and musical tastes. It's a tricky task, but we've started, we're up for it, and we're only going to get better. For all those non-leather veggie heads out there - stand by, there is something awesome coming very very soon for you!)
John Says: "Good Soles Leave Small Prints."
We're not kidding around here, our LA store literally has a handful of these suede beauties. The other day, our messenger pigeons made the long journey from Portugal with all they could carry. The result was 5 PAIRS IN EACH COLOUR! Add a zero to that and it's still Limited Edition, but this is ridiculous. These are not available online, they're only available at our LA location on Melrose, but can also be ordered from them by phone at 323-951-9555. They range in size from men's 8 to 11, but after doing the complex trigonometry on that you will realize that if you are in that range and are interested, you have to beat every other man on the planet (good thing we're on your speed dial).
We're not even kidding – over the last couple of weeks we have moved a whole wack* load of Shoes to our Clearance section to make your summer a joyous, shoe-filled one. It's all divided into size availability so you don't have to spend a long time trying to find something that fits you. Everything in this section is limited quantity while supplies last. Plus we have both a US and a CANADA section.
Just a Norwegian reminder to enter for your chance to win the "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fluevog Datarock Awesomest Ever Prize Pack". You could be one click away from being the Grand Wiener!
*size of wack unknown, but considered very large by most accounts

How to Manage PestsUC Pest Management Guidelines
DESCRIPTION OF THE PESTSLooper caterpillars are easily recognized because they crawl by arching their backs. Looper eggs are laid singly on the undersurface of mature leaves. They are similar to fruitworm eggs, but flatter, and have finer ridges radiating from the top. DAMAGELoopers feed only on foliage, not on fruit. Damage is usually insufficient to require control measures so treatment is rarely recommended. MANAGEMENTAlthough common in tomato fields, looper populations are generally kept below damaging levels by naturally occurring parasites and a viral disease. Moderate numbers of loopers are considered more beneficial than harmful because they serve as alternative hosts for parasitic wasps that also attack tomato fruitworms and other pest caterpillars. Treatment is only necessary if feeding is extensive enough that sunburn of the fruit is a concern. Consider nondisruptive insecticides such as Bacillus thuringiensis to protect natural enemies.

Insight: Citigroup's crown jewel is losing some luster
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Citigroup may be losing ground in a business that is central to its recovery plan, as rivals catch on to how much money the unit makes.
The bank's transaction services unit, which moves $3 trillion around the world daily for companies, banks and national governments, received scant attention from competitors and investors for years. But it has done wonders for Citigroup: About a third of its profits since the financial crisis have come from the unit. Best of all, the business used little capital at a time when the bank - which required three rescues during the credit crunch - had little to spare.
With regulators pressing banks globally to find more capital to support most traditional lending and trading businesses, transaction services suddenly look more interesting to competitors.
JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bank of America Corp have made transaction services a priority in the past two years, and have hired key senior executives from Citigroup. Regional banks such as Singapore-based DBS Group Holdings and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group have ramped up their efforts, too.
There are early signs that rivals are eroding some of Citi's profits. In the treasury and trade part of the business, which is most directly comparable to other big banks' business lines, Citigroup's revenue fell 5 percent in the first quarter from the same quarter last year, while Bank of America's dropped 3 percent and JPMorgan's slipped a fraction of a percent. Competitors don't disclose profit for their units, but Citigroup's pretax income for transaction services fell 8 percent in the first quarter, one of the biggest drops since the financial crisis.
The percentage of large corporations using Citigroup for cash management slipped in Europe and in the United States from a year earlier, according to recent surveys by consulting firm Greenwich Associates. And in the United States, prices for many transaction services are dropping, reflecting competitive pressure.
"Other participants in the market have woken up to the potential of this business," said Citigroup's Naveed Sultan, global head of treasury and trade solutions, which is the biggest part of Citigroup's transaction services segment.
Transaction services include a wide array of products, but the business boils down to collecting deposits and transferring money, processing transactions and providing trade financing and other forms of secured lending. Microsoft Corp, for example, uses Citigroup to help collect excess cash from more than 350 subsidiaries in 100 countries and put the money into central treasury accounts. The U.S. government uses Citigroup to help process passport applications and remit application fees.
Even if the bank is finding itself in a more crowded field, the unit is still performing well. In the first quarter, when the bank's revenue fell, it still earned a 73 percent return on its capital by one measure, when most banks are struggling to earn 15 percent returns. And in Asia, the bank gained ground in the cash business, according to Greenwich.
The bank's business is bigger than its rivals'. Its annual revenue from treasury and trade services reached $8 billion last year, while JPMorgan's most comparable businesses booked $6.7 billion and Bank of America reported $6.2 billion.
Citigroup's executives said they think their franchise will be hard to catch up with. The technology and regulatory effort required to operate in so many countries is tough for rivals to build, Sultan said. Contracts tend to last for a few years, and customers are often reluctant to change systems so they can use a new bank, he added.
JPMorgan and Bank of America do not have international networks as big as Citi's. And while Citigroup has been pulling out of consumer businesses in countries such as Turkey, Pakistan and Paraguay, it is being careful not to cut back where it would lose valuable corporate business.
Investors are hopeful that Sultan is right, and will watch Citigroup's transaction services unit closely when the company reports second-quarter results on July 15.
"It is a big business for them, and it is an important business for them," said Chris Bingaman, who owns Citigroup shares as a portfolio manager at Diamond Hill Investments, which has $10 billion under management.
Competitors say they are prepared for a long fight.
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said at an investor conference in December that the business "is an important growth area for us — not capital-intensive and produces good profits."
Mike Cavanagh, co-CEO of JPMorgan's corporate and investment bank, acknowledged that winning new clients can be a multiyear process. But he said the prospects for profits and closer ties with corporate clients as the bank expands around the world make continued investments worthwhile.
"We're following our clients and willing to take the time to build this business," he said.
In Citigroup's estimation, there's another benefit to transaction services: They can bring in business to other parts of the bank. Companies that use Citigroup's treasury management are more likely to use the bank for securities underwriting and merger advisory deals, the way a consumer with a Citi checking account turns to the bank for a mortgage.
Jamie Forese, co-president at Citigroup who oversees the unit along with corporate and investment banking businesses, said, "Our transaction services businesses are the backbone of our global network and are central to Citi's overall strategy."
With competition heating up, many banks are discounting services in the U.S. ranging from balance reporting to accepting currency deposits at a branch, according to data in the most recent Blue Book of Bank Prices from industry research firm Phoenix-Hecht.
Some items have been discounted more than 50 percent, but consultants who have worked on the deals say the private contracts have so many unique terms that is impossible to put a firm number on how much prices have come down.
For the largest corporations that Citigroup focuses on, banks are increasingly willing to cut prices to hold or win business, said Daniel Blumen, a partner at Treasury Alliance Group who consults companies contracting for treasury services.
"If you are a large corporation and you are shopping smart, you are seeing better deals from the banks," Blumen said.
Customers are taking notice of the wider array of banks in the sector.
The World Bank, for example, counts on Citigroup to provide trade finance - a form of secured lending - to small and midsize companies in emerging markets. But it also wants other big global banks and regional and local banks to do more in the program, which will help the group meet its goal of bringing more credit to emerging markets, said Bonnie Galat, head of business development for IFC Trade and Supply Chain Solutions, a part of the World Bank.
Galat has found that in the last year a number of banks have become more interested in working with her program. BNP Paribas, Societe Generale and a Bank of Tokyo unit of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc have made deals with her agency.
"Citi is a great partner, but we would like to work with more banks," she said.

Cyber Privacy Czar
Posted by: Jay Dugan
Cameron Kerry, Commerce Department, Cyber privacy czar, Internet, John Kerry, privacy
The Obama administration is reviving the idea of creating the position of cyber privacy czar. The idea came from a Commerce Department report with Cameron Kerry, Sen. John Kerry's brother being considered for the role. Regulating the Internet is something the Obama administration has discussed in the past; however, the idea has been met with resistance from those that wish to keep the Internet as it is, free from government regulation. Recent privacy issues arising with Google and Facebook have rekindled the debate. With a lame duck congress about to go into session, it may be the most opportune time for Obama to push this new position through. Some think that this is a dangerous precedent that would lead to regulation of the Internet. Others fear this is like the fox watching the hen house; it could increase the chances of government spying on citizens.
What do you think? Let us know.

EMAIL: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] OR CALL: NAE: 202-789-1011 Re: Stop Hurting Gay People Dear Religious Leaders: Rev. Leith Anderson, National Association of Evangelicals I am writing to ask that your organizations please cease and desist from opposing legislation to end discrimination against gay families in immigration reform and generally stop all efforts against LGBT equality and justice. As you currently oppose gay couples in immigration reform, our bi-national gay families suffer immeasurable harm and anxiety under existing law, facing forced separation and life uncertainty, despite being legally married and in committed relationships. This harm is man made and can be ended by you. Moreover, as evidenced by the recent murder of Mark Carson in NYC and anti-gay attacks around the world, cultural and religious advocacy against the LGBT community causes severe psychological and physical suffering for our people. And this must stop. Neighbors murder and rape us because you tell them to disrespect us. And our children commit suicide because they are taught to hate themselves and are not safe at home or school. Where do the children go to hide from this? Where do our souls go to be safe? Your position is literally killing us. And your political advocacy blocking our efforts to protect ourselves means that this harm continues unchecked. Division and judgment, not love and compassion, prevail in this context. With love guiding us all forward, the majority of people of many faiths now support LGBT couples, and all faithful, including your own, increasingly support our equality and dignity as equal human beings and co-habitants of earth. All souls are equal, are they not? In this spirit, we beseech you to seek the greater goodness in your heart and to end the active persecution and political lobbying against LGBT happiness and safety. The religious freedom of other faiths dedicated to performing our unions depend upon your standing down. The end of our vast suffering depends on your standing down. And the love of humankind for one another depends on your standing down. We look forward to a public announcement that your organizations will no longer oppose our political quest for protection from discrimination and equality, so we can all live peacefully and with love, across all faiths and all peoples, in all of our glorious diversity. Respectfully yours, (INSERT YOUR NAME) p.s. Working together, you all could end LGBT persecution around the globe if you chose to do so. For the first time in a decade, on March 26th and 27th, the Supreme Court will hear two cases about LGBT equality. Their rulings on these two cases will likely direct same gender marriage laws for the next decade(s). The cases are ably handled by two civil rights organizations: The ACLU LGBT project and the American Foundation for Equal Rights. But you can do your part to ensure a positive ruling. So, we have started the Loving Everywhere project. We are asking couples to send a picture of themselves with a thoughtful letter to each Supreme Court justice explaining the importance of having their marriage recognized not only by the federal government, but also by all 50 states and territories. (This can be achieved by requiring that all states either allow same gender marriages or recognize out of state marriages.) We all understand the importance of our marriages being valid everywhere. We know of the problems that occur when you travel or relocate and suddenly you are not considered married. Loving Everywhere is a connection to the 1967 Loving v. Virginia case, in which the Supreme Court ruled that interracial marriages should be valid everywhere. At that time the majority of Americans opposed interracial marriage (while today most Americans support same gender marriages). At that time, contrary to today, interracial couples legally married could be imprisoned just by moving to a state that did not allow such marriages. When President Obama was born in Hawaii to an interracial couple, their marriage was illegal in many states. The purpose of Loving Everywhere is to inform justices of the need for our marriages to be recognized everywhere, not just by the federal government or a few states. The personal touch of a picture and a thoughtful letter has a unique impact. Go to LovingEverywhere.com to get the names and address and start writing! Remember, the cases will be heard at the end of March. Please tell your friends and family to do the same! Hey everyone.

BACKGROUND: The Catholic Church is on full attack with its ANTI-GAY CRUSADE in America. And make no mistake: this is politics. The Activist Priest leading the political attack against gay Americans is Timothy Dolan,head of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, and the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which marshals the Church's political activities. Last Saturday, the Pope rewarded Activist Priest Dolan with a promotion to Cardinal for his full-fledged anti-marriage equality and pro-DOMA onslaught – which recently went so far as to threaten President Obama with a holy war if he did not submit to the Pope's will (see clips below). This Saturday, at 4 p.m., Timothy Dolan will host a mass in his own honor to herald his ascendency – on our backs – to higher office. Please join in the festivities, by sending an email or calling with the message: GLITTER GLITTER GLITTER GLITTER GLITTER By lobbying government to deny us our civil rights, the Church is breaching the fundamental social compact in America – by which we agree to create a safe haven for each of us – and all of us. Their religious freedom is based on this, and so are our civil rights. So this a GLITTER warning to LET GAYS BE.

NYC Ceremony at St. Patrick's Cathedral: SATURDAY FEB. 25th. 4 p.m. (tickets only). SEND GLITTER (Posted for: Tommy Thomas of "Tommy News") -By Tommy News Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan, who has led the Roman Catholic Sunday masses will then celebrate this elevation of church sanctioned hatred and homophobia against gays, womens rights, and against full civil rights equality including same-sex civil marriage. Dolan has even gone so far as to petition the President of The United States to take anti-gay action. We must protest. From our friend Tif: Timothy Dolan is the chief architect of the Pope's anti-gay crusade in America. He arrived in NYC spewing homophobia rhetoric, and was quickly He has broken every basic social compact – by taking his church's views into the political arena. He has violated the basic tenet of creating a safe space for all of us – all people and all religions – in America. From Truthdig: New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan is a man of the world in some Here, he takes up a disappointingly common rhetorical tool to explain the church's aversion to gay marriage, asking Morley Safer, "Where would, then, the tampering stop? I mean, I love my mom. I don't have the right to marry her." Sigh. —KA Video Here: From The New York Times: Archbishop Dolan Condemns "Sexual Immorality" in Sunday Homily Archbishop and Cardinal-to-be Timothy Dolan gave a stern homily on morality on Sunday at St. Patrick's Cathedral, telling church attendees that sex outside of marriage is still a sin, despite what popular culture would have society believe. "The one who, with God's grace and mercy, tries his or her best to be pure and chaste is often thought of not as a hero, not a saint, but as a freak in our culture today," Archbishop Timothy Dolan said at St. Patrick's, reported the Daily News. "The biblical teaching on sexual responsibility is countercultural," Dolan continued to say that teaching abstinence is countercultural. Those who try to live according to the teachings of the bible including devout Catholics, he said, will face "ridicule and criticism." Dolan called on priests to do a better job in guiding their parishes to live a virtuous life. He linked societal crimes, such as violence, sex crimes, disease and broken homes and divorce to "sexual immorality," reported the Daily News. "The church has at times in the past, sadly, come across as, as some naysaying, puritanical nag, always giving a big 'no, no, no' to one of life's greatest joys," he said. Dolan is set to become cardinal in a ceremony on Feb. 18, 2012 in Rome. More: The Pope has called gay people "intrinsically disordered", and his misguided homophobia works to surpress gays and women. Jesus never once mentioned homosexuality, and may have been gay or bi himself. In fact, Jesus said that gays as opressed persecuted people are Blessed! The Pope and Arch-Homophobe Dolan really need to read their Bibles. This is the word of Jesus, from the Sermon on The Mount. MATTHEW 5:10-13 Blessed are they which are persecuted 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 5:11 Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 5:13 You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savour, with what shall it be salted? it is thereafter good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. That is the word of Jesus. The Archdiocese of New York is widely considered the spiritual heart of the American church. It counts about 2.6 million Catholics in a sprawling jurisdiction that includes includes Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island and several suburban counties. Timothy Dolan opposes Marriage Equality in New York, and has pledged to work to oppose marriage equality, persecute and oppress gays in New York and in places out of his jurisdiction. This directly contradicts the teachings of Jesus. The Pope and Timothy Dolan must learn what great harm is caused by their homophobia, which is defined as the irrational fear of, aversion to, animus or discrimination against gays, homosexuality or homosexuals. However, anti-gay hate speech leads directly to animus, bullying, hate crimes, depression, confusion, low self esteem, and suicide. We must protest. Now is the time.

(Here is what the Chicago folks did last week with their Cardinal Francis George: Please take action and pass this on to everyone in your address book. NOTE: CORRECTION: the source of the information has since said there was a misunderstanding, and that HRC, NGLTF & NCLR are not operating in coalition on the omnibus and have not opposed Title VI inclusion. For a subsequent note on these conversations, see this post. As the writer, I maintain this is what I was told, and regret any confusion. ORIGINAL POST: In a shocking bit of news, it appears that the main LGBT organizations are blocking the inclusion of Title VI in the "Omnibus" equality bill being developed by Representative Polis for filing in January. The outline shared by Polis' office is sweeping, but clearly omits Title VI, which pertains to all federally funded programs, and marriage equality, which is not even on the table. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act reads: Sec. 2000d. Prohibition against exclusion from participation in, denial of benefits of, and discrimination under federally assisted programs on ground of race, color, or national origin. Including Title VI in a true omnibus would add "sexual orientation and gender identity" to this list, as has been proposed regularly since the omnibus idea first emerged in 2009, and would effectively end federally subsidized discrimination. It appears, however, that a long-needed coalition of LGBT corporations has formed, and is now speaking with one voice against an inclusive omnibus. WHY IS GAY INC AGAINST AN INCLUSIVE BILL? The pro-offered argument is "pragmatism." In other words, as the story goes, the Omnibus will be more viable legislatively if Title VI is not included. Of course, this sounds immediately fishy. It would almost be better to hear them say: "We don't want to put Title VI in play in 2012 because it will force Obama's hand, and the opposition will be saying: 'Look they want to force homosexuality on your community. Boo.' So, since this is an election year, let's file w/out Title VI, and then we'll add it later, after the next election." It's actually a convincing argument and we've heard ones like it before, like when they sought to leave transgendered people out of ENDA. It's a politics of compromise whereby we negotiate against ourselves, before the game even starts, compromising principle, deflecting the call for equality. BUT WE ARE A MOVEMENT FOUNDED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE CREATED EQUAL AND ENTITLED AS A MATTER OF INALIENABLE HUMAN RIGHTS TO BE PROTECTED BY THEIR GOVERNMENT FROM DISCRIMINATION BASED ON THE STATUS OF THEIR INNATE SEXUALITY AND GENDER. If this is remotely true, filing an omnibus without TITLE VI sure doesn't cut it. Think about it. Title VI, by making it illegal to discriminate using federal money, enlists an enforcement army of thousands of contract managers, managing over $3,400 billion dollars, to stamp discrimination out. It is the mechanism by which our federal non-discrimination policy becomes a social norm via the vast economic power of the United States. This is how the money talks. Of course, Gay Inc knows all of this. Representative Polis knows all of this. The DNC knows all of this. So WHY does the outline Rep. Polis issued NOT INCLUDE TITLE VI? Title VI, which has been in the eQualityGiving.org Omnibus since 2009, and the American Equality Bill from the outset. Title VI which puts "non-discrimination based on race, color, and national origin," on every contract to every school, to every homeless youth program, to every police department, state, city, town, hospital, etc. Title VI, which gives the 1000s of lawyers in the Department of Justice's offices the power to sue to stop discrimination everywhere in America. To many, this is where "pragmatism" comes into the picture, not in defining the goal. Because there is a reason the various non-discrimination laws exist, and their benefits will be of equal value to our community, and their exclusion our equal loss. SO IS THIS REALLY PRAGMATISM? Possibly, but is that the appropriate standard? What is pragmatism anyway? Pragmatism is the obstacle of choice in politics. It lives within the now, or even the past, but not the future. It says: yes your equality may be what you want, but do not seek it. It is the voice of the impossible blocking change. From 1974 to 1994, LGBT organizations backed a Civil Rights Bill. In 1994, weary from a decade of AIDS, we made the pragmatic decision to drop an equality bill, and thereby, separated ourselves from our Civil Rights heritage. We decided to seek only an end to employment discrimination in a deal with potential allies, and for 17 years, have fought that pragmatic fight, unbeknownst to society at large. Meanwhile, the world has passed us by. Marriage is legal in Argentina and South Africa where "sexual orientation" is protected in the Constitution. Our plight is recognized by the United Nations Human Rights Council and the Organization of American States, which has made explicit the duty under international law to "prevent, punish and eradicate" discrimination based on SO&GI. The United States pushed those international resolutions under President Obama and Secretary Clinton, and is bound by them. They know that Title VI is the fulfillment of this duty. Everyone does. Surely pragmatism cannot dictate that we not seek its protection. The protection of human rights, under a clear duty to act, but not for us? SO WHY WOULD REPRESENTATIVE POLIS LEAVE IT OUT? Because HRC, the NGLTF, NCLR, and a confidential list of others, led by an invisible hand, managed behind closed doors in secret and in concert, like only corporations can, have decided that it is not "pragmatic" to even file a bill for Equal Civil Rights protections. That we should not seek equal protection under the law, not now, not yet. That we should wait, and follow, with no public open conversation about the entire matter. Of course it does depend on WHY WE ARE EVEN FILING AN OMNIBUS BILL? NO ONE THINKS we are filing this bill to pass in this Congress. That is not the point. The point of the omnibus, like the AEB, is to put EQUALITY on the table. To take OUR stance. To reflect OUR dignity. Not as a statement of the possible, but as a statement of collective intention to manifest our liberation. It is an opportunity to be the change we seek. It is the chance to make our equality a major issue in the 2012 race, by giving our own people a beacon. This is the "intangible" that pragmatic legislative or corporate analysis fails to grasp: The power of Collective Intention to manifest change beyond the possible in today's terms. The power of a shared dream. THE LOVERS & THE DREAMERS UNDERSTAND THIS. Our movement is ultimately about love. And two-spirited people have long been the shamans and visionaries, still dancing among us today. When Richard Noble takes to walking across country for Equal Civil Rights, he points the way. When the Mayor of West Hollywood and the City Council, as duly elected officials of a city that is 40% LGBT, issue a Resolution for the AEB, they declare it. When the Mayor of Salt Lake City calls upon the U.S. government for Equal Civil Rights for LGBT Americans, the way is clear. Like this, we need Congressman Polis to be a representative visionary. As a rather pragmatic truth, the LGBT community has no directly elected representatives, neither among its organizations nor in Congress. So as a community and people, we rely on surrogates, custodians of the public trust to do the community bidding. In this spirit, the call for the Omnibus has repeatedly come from the community. When eQualityGiving put forth the original draft in 2008, and The Dallas Principles spoke the truth of unity. When the National Equality Marchers demanded "Full Federal Equality." When The American Equality Bill Project encamped for 37 days, and activists fasted. When hundreds chanted "CIVIL RIGHTS NOW" in Grand Central Terminal. The community has spoken. When the Mayors of Oakland, Reno, Boulder, Salt Lake City and West Hollywood issue Proclamations. When the LGBT Community Centers in Denver & Boulder – the Congressman's own district – issue Resolutions explicitly calling for Title VI and EQUAL Civil Rights. When the Wall Street Occupiers say no more corporate control of politics and take to the street for the voice of the people, they speak for our movement as well. The legitimacy of our movement depends on it, and our destiny is tied to it. Corporations cannot set the dreams for all of us. Our movement is spiritual. We seek to free people from discrimination that binds their very being, denying their soul's journey on earth and the safe haven to become their authentic self. We are liberating all of society by securing the acknowledgement by this Government of its primary duty: to protect us as we are, not as someone else would have us be. Ultimately our cause is a focal point of today's holy wars, calling the ultimate question of love or anger, compassion or judgment. And we should no longer hide from this responsibility or avoid this role. When we INCLUDE TITLE VI we start a macro conversation about WHY LGBT PEOPLE ARE NOT ALREADY COVERED EQUALLY by federal non-discrimination laws, WHY we are not treated with dignity, and WHY discrimination is wrong. When we INCLUDE TITLE VI we announce what we intend to accomplish, and that YES we are speaking to everyone, everywhere in this Country. When we INCLUDE TITLE VI we are saying we are equal, and we expect our POLITICIANS to say so too. We have had decades of pragmatism, while societal acceptance has over shot our own organizational expectations. We've bowed to allies and other minorities, denying our own dignity in the process. We've seen more and more teenagers taking their lives because we won't force the macro conversation we need to have to address a societal wide illness of homophobia and transphobia, cultivated by our own Government and propagated by its laws, that leads to barbaric acts like parents rejecting their own offspring or people tied to fences and beaten to death. We see exponential mental illnesses among our people, spiking under anti-gay referendum, police abuse, killings, political ostracizing, families torn apart, and the generalized rejection of an entire segment of society by their own community, not as a group, but individually in a forced emotional isolation born of fear. The Civil Rights Act can't change this. But the debate over our Equal Inclusion can. And then, after we win the legislative battle, after we build a chorus so loud we can no longer be ignored. Title VI will push that conversation deeply into every corner of this country, leaving no child behind and no dream deferred. We've seen a sea change in public opinion ushered in by television programming, but not by a mass movement. It's time to find our common intention to liberate ourselves as a matter of entitlement. It's time to find our voice as a community entitled to respect as a matter of consciousness. It's time to file a bill for equality that says: WE ARE EQUAL & WE ARE NEXT.

And breaching, like a whale in the ocean, is BOULDER COLORADO! With great local fanfare, on Saturday, September 24th, OUTBOULDER, which runs both Pride and the LGBT Community Center, is hosting a luncheon for The American Equality Bill and Richard Noble's Walk Across America with special guests Representative Polis and Mayor Osborne. For details and to RSVP go to: http://www.outboulder.org/content/congressional-luncheon-american-equality-bill The reason Boulder is so magical is that it is the district of openly gay Democrat, Representative Polis who, according to all reports, is systematically working to prepare an omnibus civil rights bill for filing THIS YEAR! Working diligently, the internal process evidently involves canvassing LGBT organizations via Jonathan de Wolff in the D.C. office, and the public as well, via Lisa in the campaign office. Word is there will be a draft issued for public comment, along with additional transparent processes to ensure we have a true "community bill" ! So it finally seems safe to say: A ONE BILL STRATEGY is now in play. HURRAY!! Over the next few months all eyes are on Boulder Colorado, and it could not be more fitting that Mayor Osborne is joining the Mayors of West Hollywood, Salt Lake City, Reno and Oakland, in issuing a Proclamation calling for Equal SO&GI Civil Rights — and that OutBoulder is helping to lead the charge with this lovely luncheon! Thank you all for your intentions!! Keep it up! We've a long way to go still. But hope is clearly on the horizon!!! BRAVO EVERYONE!!! |

Posted about 6 years ago hi all, got my very first job as cna. on monday will be my orientation so what should i expect on this orientation and how about the following day. am i going to do all cna stuff the next day? btw im on 10-6 shift do you think this shift is a good start? what are the usual routine on this shift.? to many questions but need your comment asap. |

| Posted about 6 years ago You should be on orientation for several days, especially since this is your first experience as a CNA. Aways ask questions if you're not sure of something. Your 10-6 shift will include 2 meals so you will be required to help with the meals and assist in feeding some patients. I think it's a pretty good shift to work because you miss most of the routine am care, most of the patients will already be up when you arrive, and you also miss the bedtime routine. You will have lots of time to interact with the patients. Good luck |

| Posted about 6 years ago The first couple of days will probably be in a conference room or classroom. They will go over your benefits, you will fill out some paperwork for things like health insurance (if you're full time) and so forth. Rules, OSHA, corporate compliance, infection control, body mechanics, and other sorts of things will be discussed. You will probably spend part of your time with new employees from other departments that have nothing to do with health care, but it's a good chance to get to know co-workers in other departments and start networking for when you need a favor ;) That part of orientation can be very boring at times--avoid the temptation to snooze! Finally, you'll begin your orientation on your unit. You will probably begin on day shift so they can get you used to the facility. You will be paired off with an experienced CNA who will show you the ropes: explain your duties, show you how to chart vital signs, I&O, etc, show you where to find things, etc. This part of your orientation may vary depending on the facility: possibly up to a couple of weeks. Then you will begin working your assigned shift. You didn't say am or pm. 10-6 sounds like night shift to me, but char is describing a day shift. You also don't say if you are working in a nursing home or a hospital. I'll describe a night shfit. Generally, though, you will get change of shift vital signs, assist patients with toileting, turn and reposition them, change linens that may be soiled, and answer call lights. You'll assist the nurses from time to time: for example, she may have to change a dressing on a patient who can't turn themselves, and you'll help turn the patient so she can do the dressing. You won't have anything to do with medications. In some facilities you may be trained to perform advanced skills once you have sufficient experience, such as inserting foley catheters (a very important resonsiblity, since sterility is important!). You'll do rounds on your patients every two hours: turn and reposition, attend to toileting needs, change linens if soiled, etc. 2am-5am can be a slow time, and it is helpful to keep busy to stay awake. Cleaning equipment will be part of your job, and is a good way to fight off the yawns. If you have patients going for surgery or other procedures, you will probably be expected to get them up early and assist them with bathing. Generally on nights, you don't have anything to do with meals. Emergencies can happen, and if there is a code, you will probably be the first one performing CPR (the nurses will be doing other things to save the patient that are out of your scope, but will take over when you get tired). Working as a CNA is a great way to learn and ask questions if you are interested in becoming a nurse. Some nurses love to teach and answer questions (some don't). FInd the ones that do, ask good questions, and you will get a lot of support and encouragement. Good luck! |

Not First Family, rather Worst Family.
As I have been saying...when it comes to power and politics, perception is everything. And the lefties are experts and shaping perception.
Good one #2, The Worst Family.
Barack Hussein Obama is PINO, President in Name Only.PINO B.O. - has quite a ring to it.
Great one, Judi. Especially that part about how he rode into office on a horse named Jarrett. But May I change that to a nag named Jarrett?
Class tells; but the media ain´t listening.
WTG - Judi! Spell out plainly for each and everyone to understand.
Really like the horse reference. PINO and de facto PINO.
Hussein Obama is an Islamo Nazi anti-American. He is pushing our America to the brink of destruction, industrially, economically, and militarily. He knows what he is doing and is no longer trying to be subtle about it. He will be reviled by history as the most evil fraud ever perpetrated upon the United States of America.To all of the brain dead morons who insanely voted for this piece of excrement, you will suffer greatly for your stupidity. Elections have consequences and you will feel them indeed!
With all the stuff obama has gotten away with because of a weak congress and an uneducated citizenry, he had the gall to whine about the congress interfering with him being dictator while in burma!

According to ring magazine Andre Berto and Cornelious Bundrage are in negotiations for a Nov. Showdown. The only thing that seems to be holding up the fight being made is the possibility of landing a fight with Bradley.
To me this fight doesnt seem extremely hard for berto but I do think Bundrage may give berto some trouble, what do you guys think? |

"Film handles the subtleties and range of natural light beautifully with a wonderfully smooth rendering of highlights and shadows. And the process is entirely simple and direct. Shots are composed looking through a high-quality optical viewfinder that shows color, contrast and the qualities of light exactly as they exist in nature without any electronic intermediary. There is a direct connection between one's brain and an image coming through the lens and off of a mirror. For work that should last through the ages, I love film and I intend to keep shooting it for a long time."
Buddy Squires is an Oscar®-nominated filmmaker and Emmy®-winning director of photography best known for his cinematography on the films of Ken Burns. Squires' cinematography credits include seven Oscar®-nominated films with two Academy Award® winners. He has 10 Primetime Emmy® nominations to his name. In 2007, Squires was awarded the International Documentary Association's Career Achievement Award. His credits include The Civil War, Jazz, The Central Park Five, The National Parks, Ethel, New York, The Donner Party, Ansel Adams, Mark Twain, Nanking, The War, Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, Strangers No More, Baseball, Prohibition, The Dust Bowl, and the upcoming Salinger.
"Just as a painter loves his colors, brushes and empty canvas, I love my light, camera and film to paint pictures. My job is to fulfill the director's vision. When designing the look of a project, I give priority to what the script demands, and then consider the budget and ways to accomplish the images without compromising quality. I still prefer the realistic film look, and I don't rely too much on modern post production. I trust what my eye sees, so the audience becomes immersed in the story.
"Today, everything including film's language, looks, subject and presentation has changed. I consider myself lucky to be a participant in this era. Cinema has become more realistic, and to address this evolution, I am always ready with my camera, Kodak stock and lights.
The goal of all cinematographers is to create images that will be printed forever in the audience's mind. Everything you do and everything you see will come through in your approach. I use the meaning of a certain color, contrast, or diagonal in the frame to manipulate or channel the audience's feelings. I might not be consciously thinking of these things, but it comes from somewhere inside me. I'm fascinated by still photography, and I love the various formats that have developed over the history of photography. When it comes to format, the more choices we have, the better. We chose to film The Master on 65 mm film with photochemical processing because the characteristics of the images echoed the iconic still photography of that period. The images are amazing."

His work can be seen in promotional spots for Drake, Eminem and Nicki Manaj, and his feature credits include Francis Ford Coppola's Youth Without Youth, Tetro and Twixt, as well as Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master.
"As a director of photography, I am in the very fortunate position of seeing the entire production, actors in particular, and what the images are supposed to look like through my viewfinder. My job is to design the visuals that best deliver the actors' emotions, and orchestrate the art, lighting, composition, and other elements to bring the director's vision to the screen. Today, there are so many gadgets, but cinematographers are still tasked with achieving the best images for the story in features or making products look beautiful in commercials. No matter how many new tools there are, cinematographers must not forget the core role we play in the art and craft of image making."
Hiroshi Machida began his career as a camera assistant on commercials for the Tohokushinsha Film Corporation (TFC) after graduating from Tama College of Art. After a decade, he became a director of photography and has shot spots for such advertisers as Toyota, P&G and Panasonic. His commercial work has earned two Grand Prix Awards at the ACC CM Festival. His feature credits include My Darling of the Mountains, What the Snow Brings, Kaza-Hana, Party 7, and Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl.
There are many variables in every scene of each film, including interactions between actors. Great cinematography happens when all the variables come together. You have to be sensitive to what the space around the actors is telling you. Many times it's not about lighting. It's about taking light away, deciding what to reveal or conceal with your framing and choosing the right lens. I'm not interested in shooting pretty pictures and impressing people with aesthetics. I am constantly searching for images with the energy that serves the story. Even though you need many collaborators, filmmaking can still be a very personal process with a completely subjective outcome. It takes a lot more than mastering technology and techniques. Filmmaking is a universal language that I am continuously learning and a form of artistic expression that draws on a lifetime of visual memories.

Posted: 12:40 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2013
By Elizabeth Hagedorn
Video transcript provided by Newsy.com
His Holiness — or shall we call him Mr. Popularity — has done it again. Pope Francis can add another award to his trophy collection.
America's oldest gay news magazine The Advocate has chosen Francis as its Person of the Year. The mag says he fits the bill as the "single most influential person of 2013 on the lives of LGBT people."
The magazine goes on to say: "As pope, he has not yet said the Catholic Church supports civil unions. But what Francis does say about LGBT people has already caused reflection and consternation within his church."
>> Previously:Time names Pope Francis "Person of the Year"
Yes, even though Francis hasn't officially changed any church policies involving homosexuality, many would argue he's done much at least to change its tone.
This summer he first raised eyebrows when he responded to a reporter's question on gay priests saying, "If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?" (Via WFTS)
And in September he said it wasn't the church's role to "interfere spiritually" in the lives of gays and lesbians. (Via America)
For some perspective, his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, once called homosexuality "intrinsically evil." (Via Wikimedia Commons / Marek Kośniowski)
Still the new pope's departure from the Church's usual view on gay rights — while noteworthy — may not be all that groundbreaking.
After all, he still opposes same-sex marriage and campaigned against laws allowing it when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires. (Via CTV)
He said of gay marriage in 2010, "Let's not be naive: This is not a simple political struggle, but an attempt to destroy God's plan." (Via The Independent)
But as a writer at Americablog notes, his willingness to open a dialogue is a start: "He has toned down the rhetoric, a lot. And while sometimes rhetoric is "just words," at other times words can have great power."
Now, this is just the latest honor for the new pontiff. Time recently named him its Person of the Year, as well — noting his message of humility and compassion.
And Pope Francis has another reason to celebrate. The honor from the Advocate fell on his 77th birthday — which he spent eating breakfast in the Vatican with the homeless. From this pope, we'd expect nothing less. (Via CBS)
