William (Bill) Samuel Dalton
October 1, 1925-November 6, 2009
Bill Dalton, 84 years old, passed away on November 6. Born on the Brazos River in Palo Pinto Texas to Marcus and Frances Dalton, Bill joined the US Marine Corps at age 18 and was a veteran of World War II in the Pacific islands. Using the GI Bill, he became a pilot and certified flight instructor and later joined the Civil Aeronautics Agency, now the Federal Aviation Administration, where he proudly served for 35 years. He dedicated himself to the profession of air traffic control and rose through the ranks to become Center Chief of the Albuquerque and Indianapolis ARTC Centers.
He retired from the FAA in 1981 as Deputy Director of the Great Lakes region in Chicago, Illinois. He and his loving wife of 61 years, Janie, retired to the Sequim, WA community in 1982. In addition to being an avid golfer, Bill volunteered for numerous charitable and local community organizations.
In addition to his wife, Janie Dalton from Sequim, WA, he is survived by his four children: Bill Dalton and his wife Karen, from Tampa Florida; Sandi Dalton from Sequim, WA; Debbie Schleutker and her husband Jeff, from Indianapolis, IN; and Patti Dalton from Ashburn, VA. Bill is also survived by four grandchildren, Seth Dalton, Adam Dalton, Kyle Dalton and Chuck Schleutker; and five brothers and sisters, Inez Duncan, Jettie Clements, Mildred Fox, Janie Schmidt, and Mark Dalton all living in Texas. Family members plan for a private celebration of his life and ask that donations, in lieu of flowers, be sent in his memory to Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 E. 8th St., Port Angeles, WA 98362 or Port Townsend Aero Museum, PO Box 101, Chimacum, WA 98325.
February 25, 1930-November 1, 2009
On Sunday, November 1, 2009, Joseph Daniel Ankerberg, a retired Los Angeles County Fire Department Firefighter and Captain, went home to be with the Lord at age 79. He died at home in Sequim, WA, surrounded by family, as he quietly slipped into eternity after a brave battle for 10 months with metastatic melanoma cancer. Miraculously, he had no pain in spite of numerous tumors internally.
Joe was diagnosed in December 2008 with his first tumor found in the lung, and no primary site on the skin. He entered a clinical trial with an experimental drug, as well as chemo and surgery, at the Moffitt
Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida for the next 5 months. He and his wife Gaylee, along with their two Labrador pups, traveled to Florida in their class 'A' RV with a car in tow, and stayed at the beautiful Bay Bayou RV Resort in Tampa. Many new friends were made, and will not be forgotten. While in Florida, Joe had precious time to spend with his older brother, Charles, in St. Petersburg, and his wing of the family.
The treatments put Joe and Gaylee on a medical roller coaster ride, but upon completion in July 2009, they returned home to
Sequim to be reunited with their children and grandchildren. Joe originally was told he had three months to live, but with the treatment, lived a good quality of life until the last week. When it became evident that the end was near on October 27, 2009, family traveled to gather for sweet fellowship with 'Dad' and 'Papa' to be at his side.
Joe was born in Phoenix, Arizona on February 25, 1930, to Paul and Eldora Ankerberg. He was the youngest of 4 brothers, Richard, Charles, and Earl. When Joe was 13 years old and his older brothers joined the Navy, the family moved to Hawthorne, California to be nearer to the Fleet's port of call when his brothers had shore leave. He attended Leuzinger High School and met Myrtle Haglund, marrying right after graduation. Joe enlisted in the Air Force, but after successful boot camp and aviation academy began, it was detected he had fudged his birth certificate to enlist and was underage. This patriotic young man received an honorable discharge. Before having a chance to re-enlist, he and Myrtle began their family with sons Curtis and Keith, then daughter Kim.
Joe worked for the Department of Water and Power in Southern California before joining the Los Angeles County Fire Department on November 1, 1954. He worked at several stations in the County system and was promoted along the way. When he became a Captain, he worked at station 6 in the city of Lomita for many years with a wonderful crew, and retired from that 'house' in October, 1985. During those years he was involved with the IAFF (International Association of Fire Fighters), coached soccer and little league, enjoyed bowling, skiing (water and snow), ice hockey, and competed with the Firefighter hockey team. He also received gold, silver, and bronze medals in the downhill slalom for the Police/Firefighter Olympics in 1973, 1974, and 1975. He also had his license as a general contractor, and drew custom house plans. Joe and his family lived in Torrance for many years, but in 1977, they divorced.
In 1983, Joe met Gaylee Gillmore, and it took 6 weeks to go from 'hello' to 'I Do'. They were married in Rancho Carillo, California, on May 21, 1983, and were married 26 years at the time of Joe's death. Gaylee had two sons, Marco and Paul, 6 and 5 years old from a previous marriage. In 1985, Joe retired from the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the family moved to Sequim, WA. Joe had read about Sequim in an issue of 'Broken Steams', a firefighter newsletter, saying it was the 'banana belt' of the Pacific Northwest, a great place to retire, and a wonderful place to raise a family. There, he built homes and drew custom plans in his newly found retirement. Very active in Sequim Bible Church, then later at Olympic Bible Fellowship, Joe and Gaylee found their niche in youth ministry between the boys' activities with sports and school. When the boys left home for college and the Air Force, Joe and Gaylee moved to Birch Bay, WA for four years, then to a lakefront home in Saratoga Springs, Utah for three years where Marco and his wife were living.
Wonderful adventures all, but Joe needed to be back at sea level as it was thought the high altitude of Utah was affecting his breathing, but it turned out to be cancer. The whole family talked about Joe's health and decided that they all wanted to be together again and so they moved back to Sequim, and then Joe became ill with pneumonia, which led to detecting a tumor in his lungs. Joe's cancer journey began that day and it was amazing to see how many new lives he touched and vice-versa during the ten month challenge....loved by all who knew him.
Joe is survived by his wife, Gaylee Ankerberg of Sequim, WA; brother, Charles Ankerberg of St. Petersburg, FL; Children, Curtis Ankerberg of Medford, OR, Keith Ankerberg of Kelso, WA, Kim Garr of Greenacres, WA, Marco Hermosillo of Sequim, WA, Paul Hermosillo of Seattle, WA; Grandchildren, Joey Opsal, Justin Opsal, Joshua
Opsal, Elizabeth Garr, Christopher Ankerberg, Kevin Ankerberg, Raquel Hermosillo, and Cruz Hermosillo. Joe is preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Eldora, and two brothers, Richard and Earl.
Services will be held at the Sequim Worship Center, Saturday, November 14th at 11:30 am, at 640 N. 5th Ave. in Sequim, Wa., with Pastor Rich Hay presiding. Firefighter funeral traditions will honor Joe for his 31 years of service and brotherhood. A fire truck procession will immediately follow the service to the Sequim View Cemetery for all who wish to accompany. A reception will be held after the burial, back at the Sequim Worship Center.
Sequim Valley Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements. They may be contacted at (360) 683-5242, 108 Alder, Sequim, WA 98382. Joe loved flowers, but preferred any donations be sent to Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, Inc. They may be reached at (360) 452-1511, P.O. Box 2014, Port Angeles, WA 98362.
Gratefully, the Ankerberg family

25. Less sex means more work. If you're not having sex, what are you doing with your time? Chances are, you're working more. Men and women both turn to work to fill the void when they have sex less than once a week, according to a survey of 32,000 people by the University of Gottingen in Germany. Bo-RING.
26. A little cleavage goes a long way. Do you really think you look hot with your shirt buttoned up to your chin? Or a T-shirt shrouding your tankini? Get over yourself already. You may have stretch marks and spider veins everywhere else, but with the right support, your boobs can still hold their own. So let 'em show, and you'll feel sexier than you have in a long time.
27. Making the first move...is as much a turn-on for you as it is for him.
28. It's not you...it's him. Contrary to popular belief, men aren't always ready and raring to go—especially middle-aged men. Many go through their own form of menopause as their testosterone levels start to drop. After the age of 40, testosterone levels decline approximately 1 percent per year, with a steep drop between the ages of 45 and 50. So if he takes longer or is less gung-ho, go easy on him...and yourself.

In 1975, when Chevelles and Cutlasses ruled the road, Massachusetts held the dubious distinction of being the country's car theft capital, with an astounding 1 of every 35 registered motor vehicles reported stolen.
Today, motorists can worry far less about having their cars disappear. Auto thefts in Massachusetts have plunged 88 percent in the past four decades, a technology-aided decline that shows little sign of abating.
In Boston, there were just 1,575 reports of stolen vehicles last year, compared with 28,000 in 1975, according to government figures.
The state now ranks near the middle of the pack nationally, a major cultural shift that has not only curbed auto insurance rates, but spared residents untold expense and aggravation, specialists say.
Antitheft features, from transponder keys and immobilizing devices to vehicle tracking systems, have made cars far more difficult to steal. With new vehicles increasingly outfitted with such protection, the days of unlocking a car door with a coat hanger, then hot-wiring it for a quick getaway, are all but over.
The drastic drop mirrors a national trend and reflects declining crime rates overall. Still, the speed and magnitude of the decline have stunned law enforcement officials and industry observers alike. Even a decade ago, today's levels would have been hard to imagine, they say.
"It's beyond any rational expectations," said Kim Hazelbaker, senior vice president of the Highway Loss Data Institute, a nonprofit group supported by auto insurers. "It's been such an incredible story."
In Massachusetts, car thefts have dropped every year since 2001, usually by an appreciable amount. The state ranked 21st nationally in 2011.
That's a far cry from 1975, when auto thefts in Boston were at their peak. Even the mayor at the time, Kevin White, was not immune, as thieves stole his car from the streets of Beacon Hill no fewer than eight times in four years.
"As we say in Boston, we're number one," a Boston police sergeant said at a press conference at that time. "And we hope your car is there when you leave."
Today, the proliferation of antitheft technology in new models has "driven out the casual thief" responsible for most stolen cars, Hazelbaker said.
"This is a professional operation now," he said. "It's a very targeted problem."
Despite the overall decline, vehicles that are stolen are less likely to be found. Many are shipped overseas or are driven to Mexico, specialists say. Nationally, recovery rates have fallen to 52 percent, the lowest in decades.
Thefts across the country declined by nearly one-third between 2007 and 2010. In San Francisco and Philadelphia, among other cities, rates have dropped 40 percent in recent years.
Of the 10 vehicles most frequently stolen, all were made before 2007, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a nonprofit that works with insurance companies and law enforcement agencies.
Nationally, the 1994 Honda Accord topped the list, followed by the 1998 Honda Civic. Both are popular models that often lack the latest antitheft protection and therefore can be broken into with relative ease and remain targets for parts that thieves can resell.
The new antitheft devices generally prevent cars from being started without the proper key and are increasingly becoming standard. As older cars are gradually phased out, thefts could become even more difficult, specialists say.
"Vehicle theft might just be a manageable irritant before too long," said Frank Scafidi of the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
In light of the decline, many police departments nationwide have disbanded specialized auto theft units to focus on other crimes.
In Massachusetts, the State Police dissolved the auto theft strike force in January, citing budget pressures. Formed in the early 1980s, the squad made 328 arrests in 2011 and recovered vehicles valued at more than $9.6 million.
Beyond the new technology, officials say, enforcement has also played a role in the decline.
In Boston, officers keep a close eye on parking lots and other high-risk areas, put out attractive "bait cars" to trap would-be thieves, and conduct surprise inspections of body shops where stolen vehicles may be stripped for parts.
"They know who we are," said Sergeant Detective Ken Lamb, head of the department's auto theft unit. "They've become a lot more cautious."
Lamb, a member of the state's theft strike force at its founding, said stricter penalties for thefts have also been a deterrent.
Edward Walsh, the police chief in Taunton, credited antitheft technology for the decline in thefts, saying, "It has become nearly impossible for an amateur to simply break in and start a car."Continued...

Loudness war
"Loudness war" or "loudness race" is the popular name given to the trend of increasing audio levels on CDs and in digital audio files over the last few decades, which many critics believe damages the sound and reduces listener's enjoyment. Increasing loudness was first reported[when?][by whom?] with respect to mastering practices for 7" singles.[1] The maximum peak level of analog recordings such as these is limited by varying specifications of electronic equipment along the chain from source to listener, including vinyl record and cassette players.
With the advent of the Compact Disc (CD), music is encoded to a digital format with a clearly defined maximum peak amplitude. Once the maximum amplitude of a CD is reached, loudness can be increased still further through signal processing techniques such as dynamic range compression and equalization. Engineers can apply an increasingly high ratio of compression to a recording until it more frequently peaks at the maximum amplitude. In extreme cases, clipping and other audible distortion is introduced to increase loudness further. Modern recordings that use extreme dynamic range compression and other measures to increase loudness therefore can sacrifice sound quality to loudness. The competitive escalation of loudness has led music fans and members of the musical press to refer to the affected albums as "victims of the loudness war".
This practice (excessive compression, dynamic range reduction, loudness level enhancement, etc.) has been condemned by several recording industry professionals including Alan Parsons, Geoff Emerick[2] (noted for his work with The Beatles from Revolver to Abbey Road), and mastering engineers Doug Sax,[3] Steve Hoffman, and many others, including music audiophiles, hi-fi enthusiasts, and fans. Musician Bob Dylan has also condemned the practice, saying: "You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them. There's no definition of nothing, no vocal, no nothing, just like—static." The compact disc editions of Dylan's more recent albums Modern Times and Together Through Life are examples of heavy dynamic range compression, although Dylan himself might not have been responsible for it.[4]
When music is broadcast over radio, the station applies its own signal processing, further reducing the dynamic range of the material to closely match levels of absolute amplitude, regardless of the original recording's loudness.[5]
Opponents have called for immediate changes in the music industry regarding the level of loudness. In August 2006, the vice-president of A&R for One Haven Music, a Sony Music company, in an open letter decrying the loudness war, claimed that mastering engineers are being forced against their will or are preemptively making releases louder to get the attention of industry heads.[6] Some bands are being petitioned by the public to re-release their music with less distortion.[2]
The nonprofit organization Turn Me Up![7] was created by Charles Dye, John Ralston and Allen Wagner to certify albums that contain a suitable level of dynamic range[8] and encourage the sale of quieter records by placing a "Turn Me Up!" sticker on albums that have a larger dynamic range.[9] The group has not yet arrived at an objective method for determining what will be certified.[10]
Hearing experts, such as a hearing researcher at House Ear Institute in Los Angeles, are also concerned that the loudness of new albums could possibly harm listeners' hearing, particularly that of children.[9]
A 2-minute YouTube video addressing this issue by audio engineer Matt Mayfield[11] has been referenced by The Wall Street Journal[12] and The Chicago Tribune.[13] Pro Sound Web quoted Mayfield: "When there is no quiet, there can be no loud."[14]
The book Perfecting Sound Forever: An Aural History of Recorded Music (Faber, 2009), by Greg Milner presents the Loudness war in radio and music production as a central theme. The book Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science (2nd Edition, Focal Press, 2007), by Bob Katz, includes a chapter about the origins of the loudness war and another suggesting methods of combatting the war, based on Katz's presentation at the 107th Audio Engineering Convention (1999) and his Audio Engineering Society Journal publication (2000).[15]
The practice of focusing on loudness in mastering can be traced back to the introduction of the compact disc itself but also existed to some extent when vinyl was the primary released recording medium and when 7" singles were played on jukebox machines in clubs and bars. Jukeboxes were often set to a pre-determined level by the bar owner, yet any record that was mastered "hotter" than the others would gain the attention of the crowd. The song would stand out. Many record companies would print compilation records, and when artists and producers found their song was quieter than others on the compilation, they would insist that their song be remastered to be competitive. Also, many Motown records pushed the limits of how loud records could be made; according to one of their engineers, they were "notorious for cutting some of the hottest 45s in the industry."[3] However, because of the limitations of the vinyl format, loudness and compression on a released recording were restricted to make the physical medium playable—restrictions that do not exist on digital media such as CDs—and as a result, increasing loudness levels never reached the significance that they have in the CD era.[6] In addition, modern computer-based digital audio effects processing allows mastering engineers to have greater control over the loudness of a song; for example a "brick wall" limiter can look ahead at an upcoming signal to limit its level.[16]
The stages of the CDs loudness increase are often split over the two-and-a-half decades of the medium's existence. Since CDs were not the primary medium for popular music until the late 1980s, there was little motivation for competitive loudness practices then. CD players were also very expensive and thus commonly exclusive to high-end systems that would show the shortcomings of higher recording levels.
As a result, the common practice of mastering music involved matching the highest peak of a recording at, or close to, digital full scale, and referring to digital levels along the lines of more familiar analog VU meters. When using VU meters, a certain point (usually −14 dB below the disc's maximum amplitude) was used in the same way as the saturation point (signified as 0 dB) of analog recording, with several dB of the CD's recording level reserved for amplitude exceeding the saturation point (often referred to as the "red zone", signified by a red bar in the meter display), because digital media cannot exceed 0 decibels relative to full scale (dBFS). The average level of the average rock song during most of the decade was around −18 dBFS.[citation needed]
In the early 1990s, CDs with louder music levels began to surface, and CD levels became more and more likely to bump up to the digital limit[note 1] resulting in recordings where the peaks on an average rock or beat-heavy pop CD hovered near 0 dB[note 2] but only occasionally reached it.[18][not in citation given]
The concept of making music releases "hotter" began to appeal to people within the industry, in part because of how noticeably louder some releases had become and also in part because the industry believed that customers preferred louder sounding CDs, even though that may not have been true.[19] Engineers, musicians, and labels each developed their own ideas of how CDs could be made louder.[citation needed] In 1994, the digital brickwall limiter with look-ahead (to pull down peak levels before they happened) was first mass-produced. While the increase in CD loudness was gradual throughout the 1990s, some opted to push the format to the limit, such as on Oasis's widely popular album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, which averaged −8 dBFS on many of its tracks[18]—a rare occurrence, especially in the year it was released (1995). In 1997, Iggy Pop assisted in the remix and remaster of the 1973 album Raw Power by his former band The Stooges, arguably creating the loudest rock CD ever, reaching −4 dBFS in places.[18]
In 2008, loud mastering practices received mainstream media attention with the release of Metallica's Death Magnetic album. The CD version of the album has a high average loudness that pushes peaks beyond the point of digital clipping, causing distortion. This was reported by customers and music industry professionals, and covered in multiple international publications, including Rolling Stone,[20] The Wall Street Journal,[21] BBC Radio,[22] Wired,[23] and The Guardian.[24] Ted Jensen, a mastering engineer involved in the Death Magnetic recordings, criticized the approach employed during the production process.[25] A version of the album without dynamic range compression was included in the downloadable content for the video game Guitar Hero III.[26]
In late 2008, mastering engineer Bob Ludwig offered three versions of the Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy for approval to co-producers Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo. They selected the one with the least compression. Ludwig wrote, "I was floored when I heard they decided to go with my full dynamics version and the loudness-for-loudness-sake versions be damned."[27] Ludwig said the "fan and press backlash against the recent heavily compressed recordings finally set the context for someone to take a stand and return to putting music and dynamics above sheer level."[27]
In March 2010, mastering engineer Ian Shepherd organised the first Dynamic Range Day,[28] a day of online activity intended to raise awareness of the issue and promote the idea that "Dynamic music sounds better". The day was a success and its follow-ups in the following years have built on this, gaining industry support from companies like SSL, Bowers & Wilkins, TC Electronic and Shure[29] as well as engineers like Bob Ludwig. Shepherd cites research showing there is no connection between sales and "loudness", and that people prefer more dynamic music.[30][31] He also argues that file-based replay volume normalisation will eventually render the war irrelevant.[32]
In October 2013 Bob Katz announced on his website that "The last battle of the loudness war has been won", claiming that Apple's mandatory use of Sound Check for iTunes Radio meant that "The way to turn the loudness race around right now, is for every producer and mastering engineer to ask their clients if they have heard iTunes Radio. When they respond in the affirmative, the engineer/producer tells them they need to turn down the level of their song(s) to the standard level or iTunes Radio will do it for them. He or she should also explain that overcompressed material sounds wimpy and small in comparison to more open material on iTunes Radio." He believes this will eventually result in producers and engineers making more dynamic masters to take account of this factor.[33] His point of view has been widely reported and discussed.[34][35]
One of the biggest albums of 2013 was Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, with many reviews commenting on the album's great sound.[36][37] Mixing engineer Mick Guzauski deliberately chose to use less compression on the project, commenting "We never tried to make it loud and I think it sounds better for it."[38] In January 2014 the album won five Grammy Awards, including Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical).[39]
Analysis suggests that the loudness trend may have peaked around 2005 and subsequently reduced, with a pronounced increase in overall and minimum album DR (crest factor) for albums since 2005.[40][41]
Replay volume normalisation[edit]
With music sales moving towards file-based playback, digital downloads and away from CDs, there is a possibility that the loudness war will be blunted by normalization technology such as ReplayGain and Apple's Sound Check.[42] Most cloud-based music services perform loudness normalization by default and may reduce the market pressure to hypercompress material.[43]
Replay volume normalisation also helps when listening to playlists or shuffle play where otherwise variations in perceived loudness of recordings results in uncomfortable loudness shifts.[44]
In August 2011 the EBU published EBU Recommendation R 128,[45] which specifies a new way of metering and normalising audio, based on ITU-R BS.1770. It is accompanied by the EBU Loudness Metering specification EBU Tech 3341,[46] which includes the so-called 'EBU Mode' to make meters interoperable. Also a Loudness Range descriptor is defined, in EBU Tech 3342,[47] which helps audio mixers understand what loudness range their material consists of.[48]
Broadcasting is also a participant in the loudness war. Competition for listeners between radio stations and competition for clients between recording studios[dubious ] has also caused a loudness "arms race".[49] Loudness jumps between broadcast channels and between programmes within the same channel, and between programs and intervening adverts are a frequent source of audience complaints.[citation needed] The European Broadcasting Union is addressing this issue in the EBU PLOUD Group, which includes over 230 audio professionals, many from broadcasters and equipment manufacturers.
Dissenting views[edit]
In September 2011 Emmanuel Deruty published an article in leading music technology magazine Sound on Sound in which he argued that the "Loudness War" has not led to a decrease in dynamic variability in modern music after all, possibly because the original source material of modern recordings is more dynamic to begin with before compression is applied.[41]
However his conclusions have been been challenged on the basis that the R128 Loudness Range (LRA) he uses to track dynamic variability was designed for assessing long form content and is a measure of macro-dynamics where Dynamic Range is a measure of micro-dynamics. LRA is the range between the average louder parts and the average softer parts. Shepherd and Katz claim that Peak to Loudness Ratio (PLR) is a more helpful metric which clearly does show a downward trend over the 90s[50][51] and even Deruty's original article accepts that the "war" has resulted in "reduced crest factor, envelope modifications… and in the worst cases, distortion" on many recordings.

How soon they forget.
Mar 1, 2012 | Posted by: roboblogger | Full story: The Skanner
With Maryland poised to legalize gay marriage, some conservative opponents and religious leaders are counting on members of their congregations, especially in black churches, to upend the legislation at the polls this fall.

Judged: 9 8 8 Prejudice and legal discrimination are still prejudice and discrimination. "Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage for further repression and violence that spread all too easily to victimize the next minority group." "I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people and I should stick to the issue of racial justice... But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King, Jr., said,'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere'... I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream to make room at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people." "We are all tied together in a single garment of destiny... I can never be what I ought to be until you are allowed to be what you ought to be," she said, quoting from her husband. "I've always felt that homophobic attitudes and policies were unjust and unworthy of a free society and must be opposed by all Americans who believe in democracy." "Gays and lesbians stood up for civil rights in Montgomery, Selma, in Albany, Georgia, and St. Augustine, Florida, and many other campaigns of the Civil Rights Movement. Many of these courageous men and women were fighting for my freedom at a time when they could find few voices for their own, and I salute their contributions." "We have to launch a campaign against homophobia in the black community." Coretta Scott King: |

"Together for 24, legal for 5" Since: Sep 07 16,550 |
Judged: 3 3 2 |
Judged: 7 5 5 Gays have rights and are equal under the law. Every gay male can marry ANY woman that he wants to and any gay female can marry ANY male that she wants to. No other combinations go together. Check the bible. Is a man free to marry a dog, cat or horse? Why not? because those combinations don't go together. Man does not belong with man. It is sinful. |
"Unconvinced" Since: Nov 09 5,542 |
Judged: 10 6 5 I can't believe you people say that, and then have the juevos to talk about the "sanctity" of marriage. Send your sister or daughter over for me to marry. I'm sure she would LOVE to marry a man that is not attracted to her. I'm sure our marriage would demonstrate the "ideal" of two people forced together who have no interest in one another. Why would you put a gay man with a straight woman? That isn't going to bring happiness to EITHER of them. Marriage needs to be protected from YOU people, before you start bringing back ARRANGED marriages. They do in 6 US states, the DC, 2 US tribes and about a dozen nations around the world, with more locations joining all the time. You are not the one doing the "combining", so you have no power to tell people what combinations they may pursue. Not if you PAID me. The bible is completely irrelevant to this discussion. If I checked the bible, I would find rampant polygamy, concubines, daughters being SOLD to their husbands... that book is NOT a good guide for modern living. No, it's because dogs, cats and horses can't sign legal consent forms. Why do you people always have such difficulty distinguishing between animals and humans? Gay men belong with gay men, and lesbians belong with lesbians. Any other combinations for them is disrespectful to their humanity (not to mention disrespectful to their mis-matched partner). "Sin" is a fantasy concept, unrelated to the real world. Our Constitution doesn't forbid "sin", it doesn't mention it at all. In fact, it gives me the right to IGNORE your religious concepts entirely, and build a life without them. If you think something is sinful, you're free to avoid it. But nothing gives you the right to make that decision for someone else. And all of your excuses don't cover up the fact that this is STILL humans mistreating humans for poor, poor reasons. |

Judged: 3 3 3 Or to eat at their wedding reception, more accurately.... |
Since: Jun 11 7,673 AOL |
Judged: 3 3 2 You are saying gay people have the right to act as if they are straight and deny the reality they are gay. Straight people have no such requirement. This is not equality. Additionally, gay people can marry a same sex partner in several states and countries. Those legal marriages are denied equal treatment to the legal marriages of straight people in those same states by the federal government, and not recognized by other states while straight marriages are. This different treatment under the law is an undeniable example of legal discrimination. Animals cannot demonstrate informed consent, even if they can meet the age requirements. Comparing the love and emotional bonding of two humans to a human and an animal is irrational as well as insulting. It is simply absurd. And while the bible is not the source of law in our country and can be used to justify just about anything including slavery, segregation, and even genocide, many scholars believe it does not condemn adult loving same sex relationships. It has been mistranslated and misinterpreted to accommodate the prejudices of the translators. Jesus never condemned same sex love, and had plenty of opportunity had he felt it was important. Your prejudice is irrational, scientifically unsupportable, biblically questionable, and contradictory to the message of Jesus. "God is not a Homophobe: An unbiased look at Homosexuality in the Bible" by Philo Thelos http://www.trafford.com/4dcgi/view-item... "Several books already exist attempting to demonstrate that the Christian Bible does not, in fact, condemn consenting-adult homosexuality. But God is Not a Homophobe has a unique perspective in that the author has a lifetime of experience in pastoring hard-core fundamentalist churches. His former bitter opposition to all forms of homosexuality has given way to a rational, unbiased acceptance that the Bible says hardly anything about homosexuality, and what it does say cannot honestly be used to condemn consenting same-sex unions." http://www.libchrist.com/other/homosexual/boo... |

Martyred in the USSR: Militant Atheism in the former Soviet Unio
Kevin Gonzales Martyred in the USSR: Militant Atheism in the former Soviet Union is about the religious persecution that happened in the Soviet Union. It tells the horrific story of what people went through for their faith, even at the risk of death. Regardless of your religion if you believed in God in the USSR you were persecuted brutally. From 1917 to 1990 people of faith were executed or thrown in the gulag and left to die because the Soviet Government hated religion. Now, the new generation in Russia knows nothing about their past and will deny that the brutality ever happened. | When making a fiscal sponsorship donation with a credit card, 3% is deducted from the donation amount to cover the merchant account processing fees.

I have worked around small aircraft for many years, flown them, babied them and adored them. I could not tell you how many times I have seen people behaving carelessly around them with the engine(s) running and the props only inches away. Spinning props are literally invisible to the eye. I watched a woman who is quite famous modern aviator nearly walk into her prop at an airshow once. Her assistant quickly reached out and grabbed her just inches from the impending disaster. She was waving to the crowd, walking to her plane and it very nearly happened. I am saddened by the comments below the article regarding how stupid the girl was to walk into a prop. Believe me, it happens all the time.People seldom survive the horrific result.
I declare right up front that I´m no authority on "models and fashions," but it seems a little odd that somebody who blogs about models and fashion would say "our appearance does not define us." What´s the message of the rest of her model-and-fashion postings?I´m happy she has recovered so well. Having watched "Raiders of the Lost Ark," I will NEVER walk into a spinning prop!
#1, you should be on the deck of a carrier when the E-2´s are turning.
#2 -- I agree. But maybe she´s trying to show that she learned a lesson.She has gotten a lot of publicity for this -- not unexpected that it would get some, but she´s gotten interviewed over and again. Makes me wonder a bit...Glad she´s doing well.

Grace University has joined the ranks of institutions offering a four-year graduation guarantee. By picking a major their freshman year and following the designated sequence, students can ensure their completion in four years. If a student isn't able to finish his or her degree in four years because the university makes a change, the student can finish the degree tuition-free.
Four-year guarantees are becoming more popular at small private colleges. Midland University in Fremont and Doane College in Crete are among the schools offering such a guarantee.
Free bicycle valet service available for Husker games

Home football game attendees who bicycle to campus can keep their bikes secure in Cook Pavilion, one block from Memorial Stadium. Freewill donations will be accepted.
Game Day Bike Valet will open two hours prior to kickoff and conclude one hour after the final whistle. All bikes will be supervised by UNL Bike Shop staff.
Iowa State's supercomputer powering 17 research projects
The most powerful computer ever on the Iowa State University campus — a machine dubbed "Cyence" that is capable of 183.043 trillion calculations per second, with total memory of 38.4 trillion bytes — is just beginning to produce data for 17 research projects.
Cyence, with its 12 black cabinets and rows of blue lights, has been in operation in the basement of the Durham Center since early July. It succeeds Cystorm and its 28.16 trillion calculations per second as the most powerful computer on campus.
It was purchased with the help of a three-year, $1.8 million major research instrumentation grant from the National Science Foundation. An additional $800,000 is being provided by Iowa State's Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development and the Colleges of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Engineering, and Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Thursday rehearsals kick off for UNL's City Campus Choir
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln City Campus Choir seeks singers of all backgrounds and ages. No auditions are required, although some choral experience is appreciated.

Rehearsals are from 7 p.m. to 9:20 p.m. Thursdays in Room 130 of the Westbrook Music Building on the UNL City Campus. UNL students must register for the class. Members of the community are welcome to join.
For more information or to sign up, email director Matt Hill at email@example.com or faculty supervisor Therees Hibbard at email@example.com.

Murdoch biographer: MySpace is for '(expletive) cretins'
Michael Wolff, whose new, lascivious Rupert Murdoch bio The Man Who Owns The News has taken the New York media industry by storm, stirred up some social-networking class warfare in an interview Monday with BusinessWeek's Jon Fine.
"If you're on MySpace now, you're a (expletive) cretin. And you're not only a (expletive) cretin, but you're poor," said Wolff, whose previous book Burn Rate chronicled dot-com excess in the late '90s and who openly attests to hating the word "blog."
