Topic: The Summer of CASL
While most people were enjoying the sun on Canada Day, marketing and sales folks across Canada were filled with confusion.
On July 1st the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation came into effect and changed the way most communicate with prospects. Join us at the September Marketing Peer Group as we review the rules that came into effect and open the floor for discussion on how members are ensuring compliance, how they're building lists moving forward and what new marketing tactics they're using to approach new prospects.
Facilitators: Kevin D'Arcy of MES Hybrid Document Systems & Christopher Dippell of Vellum Marketing
N.B. Location: 7271 Warden Ave, Markham ON L3R 5X5
Who Should Join?
Leaders in high-growth technology businesses looking to move their marketing expertise and effectiveness to a higher level.
This peer group is for those responsible for the definition and/or execution of a fast-growth tech company's marketing activities and for individuals seeking to increase their own branding and market reach.
The summer vacation season is coming to an end and there have been many articles written on how working time is changing and traditional 9-5 days are disappearing.
In addition, many Canadians don't even take all of the vacation they have accrued, more so men than women. How do you work? What is your ideal working week? And do you look forward to your vacations or instead perhaps enjoy a reduced work week? Join us for a lively discussion to kick off the 2014-2015 Women in Technology Peer Group sessions.
Join us for a lively discussion facilitated by:
Heather Fedash, Delivery Project Executive, IBM Canada
Tracey Whitehouse, Chief Operations Officer, TGO Consulting
Who Should Join?
All women in TechConnex are invited to engage and participate in this peer 2 peer group. The Peer-to-Peer program is a TechConnex member-run event where women in technology can access the support of their peers and network in a "pitch-free" environment.
Topic: Innovation in the Enterprise
Lead-off presenter Ron Pickett is a telecom industry veteran who has recently received his Master's Certification in Innovation Leadership from the University of Fredericton, and now includes college instructor in his toolkit, will lead the discussion this month.
Following the roundtable intros, Ron will launch with a brief presentation that has already inspired at least one member of the group to take a closer look at what they can do differently now in order to grow in the future! Beyond the theory, this approach will draw you into thinking about your Innovation Strategy…and the fact that you do have one!

If there was a place untouched by war in the last months of 1940, it was Kenyas Happy Valley. The life of pleasure established by Josslyn Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll, and his companions over the preceding fifteen years went unchecked by fear of uncertain future. In a society in which adultery was routine, his flamboyant affair with the beautiful Diana, wife of Sir Jock Delves Broughton raised no eyebrows. Only murder could shatter the complacency of their decadent world.posted by Pirate-Bartender-Zombie-Monkey at 11:31 AM on February 2

Some thoughts from the NHL on TSN panel on SportsCentre on Thursday night:
The Philadelphia Flyers have two star players, if you will. One is Mike Richards up front, and the other is Chris Pronger on defence.
Pronger has done a marvellous job throughout these playoffs of creating so much offence and defence on behalf of the Flyers. He has been terrific with his shot from the point, his long stretch passes are a thing of beauty, and he's also been really solid defensively. He's playing composed, smart hockey, and he's playing within himself - and he's not getting too carried away, as we've sometimes known Pronger to do.
So what will the Blackhawks try to do to get around the big blueliner? The same thing Atlanta's Evander Kane did earlier this year - he beat Pronger twice in the same game on the outside with speed, and twice it resulted in goals. What Chicago wants to do is a little bit of what Kane did - use outside speed - and the Blackhawks certainly have a lot of that.
The difference between the Blackhawks and the Montreal Canadiens, who have lots of speed too, is that Montreal isn't as big and physical as Chicago is. The Blackhawks want to lay the body on Chris Pronger, they want to pester him and see if they can get that famous temper of his engaged a little bit. They want to make Pronger's 30 minutes of ice time a really hard 30 minutes, because the Canadiens didn't do that and neither did the Boston Bruins.
Matching the Lines
The Blackhawks have home ice advantage with the first two games at home, and in a perfect world the Blackhawks are going to have Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook up against the Mike Richards line. But they are also likely to come up with David Bolland's line, along with Kris Versteeg and Andrew Ladd (health permitting, otherwise it could be Kopecky or Brouwer). This is a line that did such a good job against the San Jose Sharks, but their job against the Flyers is going to be much more defined against a Richards or Gagne top line, along with Jeff Carter who is back from injury.
This is a line that Chicago knows they need to control, and if you're Peter Laviolette and the Flyers, you have to say 'bring the match-up on', because you're not too worried. You had Richards up against Zdeno Chara, and didn't try to get away from that in the Boston series, so you're not going to run away from a Bolland match-up. And if it happens to be Toews versus Richards, both teams will take that, but it's one that the Flyers would prefer probably more than the Blackhawks.

Atlanta has taken a 2-1 lead in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman led off with a double to deep right field, and Chris Johnson singled him in with two outs.
Until Johnson's RBI single, it appeared that Zack Greinke and Mike Minor had settled down after they each allowed an early run. The Dodgers managed only a single in each of the third and fourth innings; Carl Crawford was eliminated by a double play in the third and Adrian Gonzalez was stranded on base in the fourth. Minor is still going strong, and Greinke is doing a good job of keeping his team in the game by minimizing Atlanta's rallies.
Interestingly, both pitchers are relying heavily on their defenses -- they have recorded only three strikeouts combined. Greinke struck out 7.5 batters per nine innings during the regular season, and Minor fanned 8 per nine.

I was wondering as Adrian Neville has just become the first English NXT champion, and TNA has a English TNA champion, which champion has the biggest impact for a British wrestling fan
AnnouncementAnnouncement Module
No announcement yet.
Which has more impact for a British wrestling fanPage Title Module
Move Remove Collapse
Conversation Detail Module
new posts
for me its got to be Adrian Neville, even though Magnus is a World champion, he's a world champion of a company on the slide and in decline, NXT is seen as the future of WWE and consider a huge thing and WWE made NXT Arrival a big deal by the way they promoted it, and it was the first live broadcast on their WWE Network
- 1 like
I think Magnus has the bigger impact. TNA may be in decline, they may not have the exposure that WWE has.... but its still a recognised world heavyweight championship in the 2nd biggest wrestling promotion in the States.
Nexus is a feeder/developmental territory for the WWE, making prototype stars... some will make it, others won't.
Neville is a prototype world champion. Hes still in kindergarten class compared to Magnus.
Personally I'm amazed that TNA didn't have Magnus beat AJ Styles clean for the title. Even on television, people call him a 'Paper champion' ... why protect the guy (AJ) who was leaving the company?
Despite this I still think Magnus has the bigger achievement here
The Show Jordan Richards commented03-17-2014, 10:12 AMEditing a commentActually, Neville is more experienced and more seasoned than Magnus. Apples to apples? Neville is better and will make for a better champion, World Title or otherwise. When coupled with the fact that the NXT Women's Champion (Paige) is also British, it makes it an even bigger deal.

Payment in Blood
If you love good mysteries, you'll enjoy the next one in the Inspector Lynley series. In Payment in Blood, Lynley and Havers are set to Scotland, when a young playwright is found murdered on a cold winter day. It's up to Lynley and Havers to find out why, when they talk to everyone in the theater company. When someone else gets killed, it makes them dig further into the background of family secrets, lies, betrayal and a cold case. For Lynley, he has a hint of jealousy to his lady love, Lady Helen Clyde. As they get closer to the truth, they close in further to the suspicions of one or two narrowed suspects, right before someone gets assaulted. Now it's a game of whodunit, right until the final end. What a rush!

Grateful for the cooler-than-usual summer, I have been able to get out hiking in the mountains in August, which is unheard of for me. And eager to get my hiking legs back into shape, last weekend I hiked the Tuscarora trail in the George Washington National Forest (nearly 9 miles), and today the Appalachian trail in Shenandoah national park (7 1/2 miles).

summery sunflowers
Last weekend made it out to McKee Beshers wildlife management area in montgomery county, near poolesville, MD, where there are several sunflower fields that pop out in the summer. Although this field was slightly past peak, still a fine summery show.

Great Falls is great -- VA edition
Over the last five months I've hiked in Great Falls, VA and/or the adjacent parks/hiking areas of
Riverbend and Difficult Run at least four times, and this is a place that always manages to amaze.
Each season there has its own beauty. Pulling together a few of my favorite shots over the years.

virginia bluebells
After the cherry blossoms have come and gone, I like to go in search of Virginia bluebells which coat the trails around streams and rivers in Northern Virginia. The bluebell trail of Bull Run Regional Park is usually a sure thing for these and did not disappoint a few weeks ago.

snowy spring in the city
A few weeks ago, a late March snowfall dusted the city after spring had already sprung and some blossoms had already bloomed. Cloaking the district in one last (?) white cover for the season. So beautiful.

snowy battlefield
There have been so many snowfalls this winter (including one coming tonight/tomorrow) that I am behind on posting snow photos! A few weeks ago, in the wind and cold, manassas battlefield national park was looking sublime as the sun was starting to set on the snowy fields and beautifully lit trees. Well worth the cold wet feet and practically numb fingers!

winter walking
For 2014, I made only a few simple new year's resolutions, one of which is WALK MORE. Notwithstanding the cold temperatures, I did just that this past weekend. Two days, two parks in fairfax county, virginia, nearly 15 miles done, and feet only a little worse for the wear. Happy to be out walking in the snow.

Earlier in my development as a career missionary, I had sundry philosophical and sociological objections to the regular practice of short-term missions on the spiritual formation of nascent believers among various unreached or least-reached peoples. Now, my qualms are only two-fold: Short-term missionaries are too skinny and too energetic.
I'll start with the skinniness.
Short-term missionaries—often young and blessed with higher metabolisms—have time for sunset jogs through the African wilderness and when you combine that fervent exercise with the rampant diarrhea they enjoy in the foreign culture, it's easy to see how they can keep the pounds off.
As a long-term missionary, I start with good intentions for exercise, but then there is a stack of term papers that keeps me up late or a sick child whose earache causes us to watch the dark hours tick off the clock. Or the local rooster greeting the dawn.. Or the bush baby crying in a tree. Or the hyrax screaming at the wind. And so I live out my career missionary life with a few extra pounds and a couple of inches of squishiness, longing for the luxuries of short-termers.
If short-term missionaries would just be less disciplined and less skinny, I think I'd get along better with them.
Secondly, short-term missionaries have so much energy. It's annoying. One guy smiled for 43 hours straight once. How do I know this? I glowered at him all night long while I was grading papers and listening to the neighbor's dog barking. He was so tired from all of his sunset running that he slept right through that, of course.
I had energy once too. That first month on the mission field was awesome. But then the adrenaline wore off, and I had to actually start living with people day in and day out. I had to get beyond theological accuracy and get down to living out Christianity in the applicable sense. It was such a drag.
I had so much energy that I'd even talk about Jesus and faith with every single person I came across. That's something short-term missionaries are good at, too. Man, that bugs me. Don't they have more important things to do, like put away laundry and read books to their children and change lightbulbs and write witty blogs?
I just want one—one!—short-term missionary to come in so tired and fat that I look skinny and energetic by comparison. If you think you might fit that description, your welcome to visit our ministry anytime and we'll be happy to provide you our couch to lounge on. Otherwise, stay away, all you anorexic, Red Bull-drinking youth!

Hello Btrflycocoon...
I felt an inner nudge to respond to your post....
I have to say....
I am a recovering PESSIMIST... Many years ago I honestly thought... the whole world was out to get me... so I figured many times why even try...
Well unfortunately in my case it took a traumatic event... (My Mothernlaw and Sisternlaw being murdered) for me to realize life is too short to let it slip right on by...
after lots of grief and reading as many angel books I could get my hands on... I found myself venturing over to the self help books... and in a short period of time... I started becoming an optimist realizing I have the POWER...
that is why EACH DAY I get up and I CHOOSE to be an OPTIMIST, KNOWing I have the power in how I make my day....
Of course life tends to through us oppertunities (I used to think opstacles) and I have learned all we can do is the best we have at that time at that moment... and just make the dicision to do...
and even now I get that sometimes I need to be the pessimist dealing with the opstacles so that I can transform them into Oppertunities... I have also learned from much reading and sharing that it does not have to take a traumatic event to change ones perceptions or life... all one has to do is just be WILLing to allow change to flow... because change is truly gonna happen for us all... and wow I learned it took a LOT of WORK for me to get stuck in my old ways... BUT.... now I use that energy to flow with the change not fight it...
when I started this quest to a healthier (smaller) me ... it started with just a step....
Now I am taking a whole lot of steps...
I wish you all the best and I share with you my POSITIVE OPTIMISTIC thought that YOU CAN DO THIS

Thanks Chanect,
Mushrooms for flu ok I will give it a go I am on the end of it now so that will give me a boost. By the way I looked up the psyological for rash it means trying to get attention childishly. As soon as I saw that it went away. I guess we are like children not wanting to budge from our comfort zone. The operation I had was for a gland that decided to block what that means is blocked creativity. So love yourselves and be what you wanna be. Do what you wanna do. Yeah. Remember that song. Not showing my age am I. Giggle. Hears to everyones health.xxx.
Bishoodle-Sorry for the flu. Get plenty of rest, eat lots of mushrooms to strengthen you immunity, eat fruits, take exta vitamin C and drink plenty of water. Get well! I wish you a speedy recovery!

This was a great read thanks for sending. Sorry for not responding lately but I have been living. Making changes and mistakes. I could not have got this at a more appropriate time. It is amazing how when we leave our comfort zone how our body reacts it doesn't want to make the change it likes being in comfort. So far I have been to hospital caught a rash then got the flu hope it isn't swine but it is nasty. All the while I am not giving in I am making the effort to keep exercising and swimming and walking and climbing hills. You know I feel great at the small achievements and it is great getting to know me. Have a great day everyone.
I know I am a definite carboholic. Your post interested me. I love to row but I do it with my feet hooked under the couch. I also love it on the couch for a different feel. I use nothing in my hands but just row till I am tired. It's like jump roping..I found I could do this and enjoy it and could do 100 a day-then about a week ago, I discovered I didn't even need the rope. Just imaging i had a tool was enough.
I will check out your sparkpage. I love the canoe in the white water! A beautiful picture!
"You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. " Jim Rohn
I stated out making changes in my life at age 60 when I sat down, while on vacation and decided what my most important goal would be. I decided on my health and began a journey of discovery. Weight loss was only part of the problem, but at 160 pound overweight it was a big problem. I started educating myself and read books on health and started understanding my problem. I went to my doctor and discovered a range of problems that I never knew that I had. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, Metabolic syndrome, and pre-diabetic. I now use an APAP machine at night so that I can sleep soundly, I exercise almost every day for a hour. I found an activity that I love and a support system that helps me (SparkPeople.com and Concept2.com as I am a rower). I started making incremental changes in my diet when I hit a plateau and finally discovered the concept of Carbohydrate Addiction which has a SP team led by a great team leader, Jan. I joined the Indoor Rower's team, and this team as my primary teams. Too many teams took too much time and I wanted to focus on my health goals.
I have rowed over 6.5 million meters since I was 60, I have lost 50 pounds (still 110 to go) and I am happier and healthier than I have been in a long time. I still have challenges and I have recently been diagnosed as diabetic, but I have dropped my cholesterol (without drugs) by 60 point in 3 months and lowered my blood sugar to below diabetic levels. I have made additional modification in my diet and exercise program, based on further research on health and nutrition and I am now losing a pound a week. I now do strength training one day a week in addition to rowing 7 days. All of the changes that I have made, have been made in small steps or I would have been overwhelmed. In the last three years, since I was 60, I've made many, many change, but each was only one step at a time, there were not great leaps. I am comfortable with each step as a lifetime commitment and am enjoying the process.
I've also discovered that it is most helpful to yourself and to others to be really honest on our postings. Honesty helps us and it helps others. Everyone makes mistakes, but when we read about others mistakes, it lets us know that we are not alone. When we read about or share our successes, it inspires us or others too. Being honest is the only way to go.
Set really big goals, but only work on one day at a time. E.g., when I started rowing, my left knee was injured and I could barely walk with a cane. I could only row for 3 minutes at a time, but I set a goal of adding one minute a week, so that after a year, I could row for 55 minutes. I learned more about rowing technique and it became easier and I made much faster progress, but I originally set a very doable goal of only adding one minute per week. It was a small goal, but it made everything else possible.
Good luck on your journey. You are not alone! Welcome to making life happen on purpose.

Sometimes we change our actions by changing our beliefs; more often we change our beliefs by changing our actions.
Sounds like you have definitely changed your beliefs.
At some point you decided it was safer to stay in the sides lines and that worked to get you what you needed. But now you are sick and tired of safe, and have decided to get into the game and *LIVE*, being a mere observer no longer gets you what you need.
The lesson I have learned beyond a doubt is that ONLY YOU can TAKE ACTION. Until you do take some steps (and continue stepping) to "GET IN THE GAME" your old patterns or insecurities will remain, until you prove them defective, by replacing them with small smarter choice substitutions.
To take drastic measures or leap tall buildings in a single bound... is to step outside our comfort zones. Any human being that far out of their comfort zone will tend to be overly cautious or even fearful, often bringing about their own failure to change. It's a survival instinct and why evolution takes millenniums. LOL
But by taking less drastic steps, small smarter choice substitution, we can reset the boundaries of those comfort zones and reduce or eliminate our fearful internal resistance to change.
Set up your SP nutrition tracker to report as many nutrients as you can. Track your daily (routines) and food items eaten for a week without giving much thought or effort to being on a DIET. Not saying to eat with total disregard or reckless abandon but to eat without the 'diet mentality' of deprivation, sacrifice, or denying yourself of what you would normally want or allow. Track your food honestly and accurately. Review what you have eaten and take note of the nutritional values of each meal, each food item, or maybe even ingredients for home cooked meals. (I use many 'food groupings' for meals that I home cook on a regular basis.)
Those items that are highest in calories or lowest in nutrition... reduce them ever so slightly. Those items that are lowest in calories or highest in nutrition... increase them ever so slightly. Plan your next day's meal IN ADVANCE based on your most popular selections from the previous week and what you still have in the fridge, implementing the above modification. In regards to the U.S., R.D. A. nutritional guidelines at the bottom, Pick a healthy veggie or food item / ingredient, that you enjoy and add it in, maybe 2 portions or a 1 portion side item, or a portion of a portion as an ingredient, whatever you feel you will eat without resentment or suffering through taste. lol See how it affects the nutrient report? Try out other veggie choices and see if you cannot find a small smarter choice substitution you are satisfied with. You should not try to create a whole balanced and complete meal right off the bat, but rather work your way into it gradually with just the 2 modifications and one substitute... in your largest meal each day. After two weeks, the first week simply practicing the habit of daily tracking, the second week practicing the daily habit of decrease/increase & 1 substitution, you should compare the U.S., R.D.A. nutrient report from day 1 to day 14.
Small Smarter Choice Substitution can be applied in all aspects of life for everything, every defective behavior you wish to replace or additional behaviors you with to adapt yourself to. Trying to do too many behaviors at once, or trying to take the change too far or in too large of increments, will take you out of your comfort zone and sap motivation. (However, pushing the envelope of one's comfort zone in itself can be (a goal) an admired adaptive behavior.)
To strengthen motivation, use many different methods of tracking results, measuring progress, or gauging success within your daily steps. EVERY step in the right direction counts, and when you count each of them as a victory done right, your motivation flows freely. Its when we discount, overlook, or have too high of expectations that our motivation wanes.
Another way to reset motivation is to review our healthy dissatisfaction for the current state and clearly imagine with visualizations our desired state. Then take a minute or two to dwell in those images and feel the emotions it brings. Review all the healthy dissatisfaction with the current consequences and positive reasons for making the change, and then review all the advantages and rewards of accomplishing the achievement.
Expert behavioralists say that to either establish a HABIT or over write an old one, takes 28 days. Personally I think they mean things OUTSIDE of a comfort zone or pushing the boundaries. But still, if/when you feel resistance or a lack of motivation... thats when you need to be the most diligent, obedient, and committed. Or else lessen the drasticity of the modification / substitution /step and start the count over again. LOL
Anyway, not that I am any sort of expert, (just a 3+ year sparker who has lost 80 lbs) but I hope that helps and addresses what you were asking for
Failure- a stone on a path not the last one called success.
Planless gaol=a wish
Faithless dream=fleeting & amiss.
Progress-little to do with speed-much to do with direction.
Wiser to replace with better choices than to deny human nature-small smarter choice substitutions.
Purposely choose your thoughts-what you believe-you achieve-Be careful what you think

My life is going nowhere. At age 60 I'm still where I was only heavier! I'm over cautious and tend to stand in the shadows observing people and things. I want to be a doer and an achiever! I'm tired of not getting anything done or completed in my life that I start.

News, Information on John Kerry: Religion, Atheism, Church & State
Kerry Popular With Vatican?
Catholicism is usually associated with cultural and political conservatism; while that is certainly true on a broad range of issues, it's also false on another broad range of issues. Liberals tend to focus on the former while conservatives focus on the latter and, hence, the Vatican often defies political expectations.
Right-Wingers for Kerry
When even self-described members of the far-right are fed up with George W. Bush, you know that things are getting difficult in the Republican Party. The problem is that Bush isn't really "conservative" in many important ways - he advocates a radical rather than a conservative agenda and this turns off traditionalist conservatives.
Vatican Denies the Kerry is Excommunicated
Yesterday I wrote about a report that Kerry was "automatically excommunicated" for supporting legal abortion. This was an "unofficial" statement from the Vatican, but I wrote that what counts is whether it reflects official policy or is merely someone's private opinion. Turns out the latter is the case.
Kerry Prayer Team?
Does John Kerry need your prayers? Some seem to think so. They also seem to be doing much the same thing that we see among conservative evangelicals: turning political elections into religious referenda.
Kerry Excommunication Moving Forward?
Will John Kerry be excommunicated from the Catholic Church? Some hope so and are working to make it happen. Marc Balestrier, head of the conservative Catholic group De Fide, has been pushing for it and has apparently received a document from the Vatican that he thinks will help his case.
Swift Boat Veterans Were Lying?
The Swift Boat Veterans for "Truth" have alleged that John Kerry's Silver Star medal from Vietnam was not really earned. There wasn't really a lot of gunfire in the incident and the man he chased down to kill was just a kid. People who go to Vietnam to talk to the locals who were there hear a different story.
Pro-Life, Pro-Kerry?
Is it possible to be anti-abortion, pro-life, and vote for Democrats? Sure. This might not be the most common combination, but it's also not impossible. Most people are ambiguous about abortion and see it as a huge grey area, not absolutes of black and white. Thus, one shouldn't assume that all liberal Democrats are big abortion supporters.
John Kerry & Mary Cheney
Conservatives who are more commonly seen disparaging gays and gay relationships are up in arms over the fact that during the 3rd presidential debate Kerry mentioned that Dick Cheney has a lesbian daughter. Why they are so upset reveals far more about them and Republican bigotry than it does about Kerry.
Sinclair: Terrorist Attacks Support Kerry
By now you have probably read about the decision of the Sinclair Broadcasting group to order all its affiliates (62 TV stations) to air an anti-Kerry "documentary" without commercial interruption. This is the same station that refused to air a reading of U.S. deaths in Iraq that was done by Nightline they didn't believe in "political statements" disguised as "news content."
Eisenhower to Vote for Kerry
John Eisenhower, the son of Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, has voted Republican for 50 years - but not this year. John Eisenhower no longer regards the current Republican leadership as representative of his values and intends to vote for John Kerry.
Kerry Position on Iraq: Consistent?
Republicans have spent a lot of time labeling presidential candidate John Kerry as a flip-flopper. Despite the fact that President George W. Bush has changed his positions on major issues at least as often as Kerry, Republicans have been very successful. The question is, has their attack been honest or fair?
John Kerry as Tokyo Rose?
Republican rhetoric against John Kerry has been increasing in intensity and viciousness. The most recent meme being spread has been that Kerry is basically a traitor and that voting for Kerry means voting for the terrorists to win. Is this really what passes for acceptable political discourse today?
South Carolina: Kerry Supporter Denied Communion
Conflict over whether people who in any way support legalized abortion should be allowed to receive communion in Catholic churches continues. In South Carolina, a man with a "John Kerry for President" button was denied communion by a eucharistic minister.
Republicans for Kerry
Although most presidential races are described in terms of liberals vs. conservatives with moderates/independents in the middle. This year there is an interesting twist: conservatives who have grown impatient and uncomfortable with the Bush administration's policies. They don't approve of his budgets or his invasion of Iraq.
Woman Loses Job For Kerry Sticker
Lynne Gobbell of Moulton, Alabama, worked at Enviromate, a company that makes housing insulation. She was fired by Phil Gaddis, owner and Bush supporter, because she had a pro-Kerry sticker on her car. Think about it: in Alabama, your boss can fire you because you support the "wrong" candidate for election.
Catholics for Kerry Won't Go To Hell
American Catholics contemplating voting for John Kerry in the presidential election have had to contend with claims that doing so would be a violation of Catholic doctrine. That, however, does not appear to be the case. So long as a Catholic doesn't vote for Kerry specifically because of his abortion stance, it's OK.
Media Continues to Fail America
Lately it seems that the one thing you can trust the American media to do is be untrustworthy when it comes to doing their job of real journalism. Recently NBC anchor Tom Brokaw acted as though the claims of Rear Admiral William L. Schachte Jr. about John Kerry could be treated as fact, even though others have disputed them.
Spinning Kerry's Vietnam Service
There's a new theme being used by those trying to criticized John Kerry: spent "only" four months in Vietnam, therefore there is something inappropriate about him touting his war record. The fact that Bush spent no months in Vietnam is apparently irrelevant. Just how serious is this argument?
Bigotry of Anti-Kerry Author Revealed
By now you might have heard of the book Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry. But what do you know about Jerome Corsi, one of the authors? He has a very interesting background involving vicious attacks on Muslims, liberals, and more.
Christians Cannot Vote for Kerry?
It's always both a little amusing and a little sad to read conservative Christians assume that their Christianity is the only kind that can legitimately exist. You can see it very prominently in political writings whenever they insist that "real" Christians would never vote for John Kerry because Bush is the only "real" Christian candidate
Right-Wing Pressure Forces Kerry's Religion Advisor to Quit
News moves fast... two days ago I wrote that the new adviser for religious outreach to John Kerry's campaign was a supporter of Newdow's case against the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. The outrage from the Radical Christian Right has now forced Rev. Brenda Bartella Peterson to resign.
Kerry Religious Advisor Supported Newdow
The new adviser for religious outreach to John Kerry's campaign and the Democratic National Committee was one of the signers of an amicus brief supporting Newdow's case against the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. For the far right, this is a reason to be horrified. For everyone else, this is a very positive sign.
Stem-Cell Research: Democratic Wedge Issue?
The Republican Party has a number of "wedge issues" - a wedge issue is something that splits the opposition party. They use the wedges of abortion, homosexuality, and prayer to split off from the Democrats people who might vote for them but who support Republican positions on those wedges. Might stem-cell research be a wedge issue for the Democrats to split Republicans?
Andrew Sullivan Endorses Kerry
Andrew Sullivan is a popular and influential conservative writer. He's also gay, which is a curious fact because it's long been obvious that the Republican Party has no place for gays and gay rights. That's probably part of the reason why Sullivan has decided that Kerry not only should be president, but does in fact represent conservative values even more than Bush does.
Right-Wing Attacks on the Kerrys
Self-righteous conservatives have been up in arms about Teresa Heinz Kerry's "shove it" statement to a reporter from Pittsburgh's notorious Tribune-Review. I say "self-righteous" because they were eager to excuse worse comments from President Bush and Vice-President Cheney. Why, though, is the rest of the media focusing only on Kerry and not the paper itself?
Beating the Moderate Democratic Donkey
One of the common themes we are hearing this year - and that we hear with every Democratic Convention - is that Democrats are too liberal, constantly needing to position themselves as more "moderate" in order to win. Is this a valid argument? Is this reasonable?
Atheists Endorse Kerry/Edwards
The Godless Americans Political Action Committee has endorsed John Kerry for president - not a surprise, since it's long been obvious that President Bush doesn't have much respect for religious liberty generally and atheists in particular. Unfortunately, some might use this endorsement against Kerry.
Secret Anti-Kerry Orders from Vatican
I have written before about a letter sent by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly the Inquisition) to the American bishops indicating that the denial of communion to pro-choice politicians wasn't necessarily the wisest course of action. A new, secret letter has been released that takes a much stronger stand.
Discussion: Kerry and Religion
A forum member writes: "It's no secret that the Bushites are attacking the religion flank of Kerry and the Democrats in general. The faith-based monies to black churches is one assault - albeit a non-SOCAS one. So is the attempted recruitment of RCC higher-ups to bash Kerry. The analysis of people's response to "How often do you go to church" is funny."
Kerry Cited in Heresy Charges
Conservative Catholic outrage at John Kerry seems to increase on an almost daily basis. Why? I would hazard to guess that his public presence as a liberal Catholic makes it more difficult for them to claim to be the only True Catholics in America and to argue that there is something unseemly about liberal Catholicism. Perhaps that's one heresy charges have been filed against Kerry.
Muslim Voters Favor Kerry
Republicans are looking forward to capturing a greater percentage of the Jewish vote in the upcoming election, but what about the Muslim vote? Muslims tend to be very conservative on social issues: they oppose abortion, oppose gay marriage, oppose the repeal of anti-sodomy laws, etc. They should be a great constituency for social conservatives... but they are leaning towards John Kerry. Why?
Kerry Might Review "Don't Ask, Donâ't Tell"
He hasn't taken a public and definitive position on the issue, but John Kerry has suggested that if he is elected president he would reevaluate the government's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"? policy in the military which allows gays to stay only if they keep quiet and allows for them to be kicked out if their sexual orientation is discovered.
Jon Bon Jovi Harassed for Supporting Kerry
Jon Bon Jovi's career in music may not be what it once was, but it can still capture the spotlight when he really wants. Apparently he supports the campaign of John Kerry and has translated that support into a USD $1 million donation. Unfortunately, some disapprove of liberal candidates so much that Bon Jovi has received threats over this.
O'Reilly Lies About Soros?
Conservatives have been driven crazy by the face that George Soros has been providing financial support to the Democratic Party. Some hope to discredit John Kerry through attacks on Soros, especially Soros' atheism. Unfortunately, some of those attacks have been very dishonest.
Is Kerry Safe from American Bishops?
John Kerry has been experiencing some problems with American bishops who argue that politicians who support abortion rights, and perhaps even the citizens who vote for them, should be denied communion by the Roman Catholic Church. Polls suggest, however, that the average Catholic isn't very supportive of this.
Will Jenna Bush vote for John Kerry?
Usually a politician can count on family members to support the cause and aid in one's reelection - but can George W. Bush count on the support of his family for his own reelection as president of the United States of America? There is some indication that at least one of his daughters, Jenna, doesn't 'but into the conservative movement.'
Outing Barbara Bradley Hagerty
I've commented more than once on the religion reporting of Barbara Bradley Hagerty - her intense and less-then-honest reports on John Kerry's Catholicism, for example, and her connections to the evangelical World Journalism Institute. Now there is a new blog dedicated to unmasking her partisan reporting - and some interesting things have been revealed already.
Wafer Watch: Double Standard in Religion Reporting
There is a lot of attention paid to John Kerry's religious habits: where he goes to church, when he goes to church, and whether he receives communion or not. Is it interesting that similar attention is paid to the religious habits of George W. Bush? What about Republican Catholics who are pro-choice?
Evaluating Kerry's Catholicism
There is a lot of debate about John Kerry's Catholicism. Whereas John F. Kennedy needed to reassure voters that he wouldn't govern based upon Vatican policy, conservatives today are trying to argue that Kerry isn't a "good Catholic" unless he does exactly that. Is such criticism legitimate?
John Kerry: Communist Apologist?
Communism used to be the boogey-man of the right in America. Any time you wanted to tar someone and smear their reputation, all you had to do was accuse them of being a communist. One would think that that doesn't work any more, but some still try when it comes to John Kerry.
Anti-Abortion Voters Should Support Kerry
People who oppose abortion want to see the numbers of abortion drop and, preferably, reach zero. This means voting for candidates who are anti-abortion, right? Maybe not. Evidence indicates that the number of abortions is lower in places where abortion is legal and higher in places where it is illegal. Thus, anti-abortion Americans should perhaps vote for John Kerry rather than George W. Bush.
Communion Watch for Kerry
One of the issues facing John Kerry this election season is the status of his religion. Many, especially conservatives, are trying to pin him down on just whether he can describe himself as a "real" Catholic or not. Does this strike anyone else as pretty irrelevant on the issue of whether he would be a good president or not? Conservatives seem to be using religion for political gain.
Church Employee Supports Kerry, Is Fired
Ono Ekeh was an employee of the U.S. Bishop's Conference. Ekeh was also founder and moderator of the Catholics for Kerry e-mail discussion list. Unfortunately, his participation in the latter ended his employment. The Conference has the right to fire anyone who is involved in any sort of political or social activity they don't approve of - even supporting the "wrong" candidate for president.
Kerry Exploited Bible, Scripture?
In a recent speech John Kerry made allusions to religious scripture in a criticism of President Bush's administration. According to a spokesman for President Bush's reelection campaign, it was "was beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse and a sad exploitation of Scripture for a political attack."
John Kerry, Gay Marriage, and Annulments
Likely Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has refused to support legalizing gay marriage, preferring instead to back non-marriage "civil unions" for gays. Kerry's own marital background is rather interesting, however - after 18 years and three children, he managed to get an annulment from the Catholic Church. How is that possible?
John Kerry on Religion & Atheism
I've reported before on what various Democratic candidates for president have had to say about the separation of church and state, but we don't see them saying much about religion generally and atheism in particular. At least, not until recently with John Kerry.
John Kerry on Church/State Separation
Although once the presumed front-runner in the race to see who would be the Democratic candidate for president, John Kerry's campaign has faltered and his position relative to the other candidates has slipped quite a bit. Nevertheless, it's important to take note of his position on issues like the separation of church and state.
John Kerry: Keep the Separation of Church and State
Senator John Kerry, one of the Democratic candidates for president, has left no doubt about where he stands on the separation of church and state. Although himself a Catholic, he emphatically rejected attempts by the Vatican to pressure Catholic politicians to limit their actions as representatives of the people by what the Catholic Church teaches.
Bishops Campaign Against Kerry
Catholic leaders have begun a more explicit campaign against John Kerry and in favor of George W. Bush by telling American Catholics that if they vote for Kerry, they should go to confession to admit complicity with evil before taking communion. Yes, labeling a vote for a particular candidate as "cooperating in evil" qualifies as partisan campaigning.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and your strength.
Megan, your first step to freedom was telling your story. This will EMPOWER YOU & your children....Keep telling your story. You are amazing. You are beautiful and powerful beyond belief.
Love love love,
Your story reminds me of the phrase, "Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger." You are one VERY strong woman and you have earned every iota of your strength. When we first write here, we may feel weak but I believe the truth is that it takes considerable strength to get to the point where we can write here. And now you have, proving your strength.
You know what? There's even better news - and that's that once we take that first strong step, every one after it is even stronger. Once the secret is out, it begins to lose its power over us and we get stronger because it's hold on us gets weaker.
May every day and every step continue to bring you strength.
Thank you for sharing this.... I think your bravery here, your openness, and your willingness to confront your past speaks volumes of your courage and strength. Your daughters are blessed to have you as a guide on their path to strength.
How brave you are to share your story! I'm so deeply touched by your courage. You are doing an amazing thing for yourself, your family and for others who will read your story. I have always belived that I was a sick as my secrets! Thank you.
Megan, you didn't ask for this. You don't deserve it. You are not at fault.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Megan, YOu'll figure it out, for your daughters. Because you CAN...really you can and because deep down you know you are good. YOu just have to figure out how to remember that every day. Although it is something we all need to remember. NO matter who we are. Blessings to you....
You are so much stronger than you think. You will be a fierce and strong example for your daughters because you are not a victim anymore. You are a survivor. You are here speaking out so they won't have to one day. They'll learn what it is to be whole even better because they will see you pushing so hard to figure out what that means.
There are some wonderful counselors out there. I encourage you to find one. There is no shame in having been a victim. It was not your fault. The shame is theirs and sites like this push them to bear it.
oh megan, i ache for you. and i ache with you.
you have spoken out. and right now, since this is new and fresh, it may take some time for it to sink in now truly ENORMOUS and STRONG that is to do.
once my story went out on this site (THANK GOD FOR THIS SITE), i was embraced... and in time learned to embrace myself and my own survivorship.
that will be my wish for you today.
thank you for sharing.
Megan, you are 100% not guilty for being raped. Your rapist is 100% guilty for raping you. You are 100% not guilty for being pushed, shoved, slapped around, hit, or beaten. Your abuser(s) is 100% guilty for abusing you. I congratulate you for finding your voice, for speaking out and sharing your story. It is an important step in the healing process. I strongly encourage you to find a good counselor who can help you recover from the events of your life, help you and your husband learn to deal with how these events affect your marriage, and help you raise the strong women you want your daughters to become. Thank you for sharing your story.
what you did here today was very brave and an excellent example to your daughters. You have shared your pain, your shame and that is not easy to do. What comes of that is knowing that people like me, salute you and are proud of you.
I'll leave the good advice in the hands of those more eloquent than I am, and instead just thank you for being brave enough to speak up. *hugs*
I have found out that you CAN be struggling to be strong yourself, but still find a way to be a strong advocate for your children. And in time, I managed to listen to my friends who told me things weren't right... and start being strong myself.
You're stronger than you think. Keep telling yourself that, and in time you will learn to believe it.

Deerfield's 9U Gray travel baseball team topped Prospect Heights, 11-3, Sunday to win the Lake Shore Feeder League Championship. The Grays are part of the traveling program.
The Grays finished the season with a 17-1 record topping their opponents by a combined 262-98 score and scoring more runs per game than any of the 146 teams in all age divisions of the league.
In the title game, the Grays scored seven runs in the second inning with hits from Blake Valfer, Elliot Brockstein, Jordan Wood, Blake Sodikoff and Jonah Kaplan. Joe Gulans, Matt Siciliano and David Weinstein provided the pitching help.
In the semifinals, Deerfield overcame a 10-1 deficit to earn the right to play for the championship. Shane McNulty broke a 10-10 tie in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI to secure the win.
Earlier in the game, Siciliano, Kaplan, and Weinstein shut down Vernon Hills in the last four innings while the Grays got hits from Weinstein, Siciliano and Wood, whose two-run single tied the game at 10.
The Grays beat Evanston, 13-1, in the first round with Wood, Kaplan, and Brockstein throwing a one-hitter between them. Their second round game against Northbrook was close until a home run by Gulans and another hit by Ryan Trudeau put the contest out of reach.
The other team members are Matthew Glassberg and Ethan Friedman. Ross Friedman is the head coach and the assistants are Reid Valfer, Bruce Brockstein, Jeff Sodikoff and Hal Wood.

Imagine living with so much fear of gun violence that you feel like you can't even sit on your front porch or grill out in your own yard.
That's how a Lakeland woman feels in her neighborhood that's been the scene for recent shootings.
Mary Cason says she's gotten to the point where she tries to stay away from the house because there's so much violence outside her door.
She was relieved to hear Lakeland police are putting an extra focus on tracking down crime in her northwest neighborhood.
"Every night we have to pray," Cason said. "We pray that God shields us and shields my house."
Just steps away from where Mary Cason and her six children live are signs of the gun violence. Bullet holes are visible in the stucco.
"If I hear an ambulance I'm hysterical thinking, 'I hope it's not my baby,'" she said.
She's called Jewel Street in Lakeland home for 19 years but lately, it's not somewhere she feels safe.
"If they aren't fighting, they are shooting," Cason said of the neighborhood.
"We're going to do what we can to put this to an end," Lakeland Police Captain Rick Taylor said about the situation.
He says they're using this week, when students are out on Spring Break, as a time to put an extra focus on what's happening around the area that's gotten such a bad reputation when it comes to gun violence.
Typically when teens are out of school, juvenile crime rises, at least by ten percent.
"They're looking for things to get into, basically," Taylor said of why the time away from school leads to the rise.
While historically it translated into more shoplifting and fighting, recent activity shows it could become more violent crime.
"We had a shooting out here a few weeks ago where we had empty shell casings just scattered around out here everywhere left behind from other shootings that weren't even reported to us, which, to me, is a major issue," Taylor said.
On Friday LPD put 40 officers in this area alone. They say this is a move that immediately came with results.
"We ended up making about 24 arrests," Taylor said. "We ended up contacting about 36 gang members or associates."
It's one step closer to giving Mary Cason peace of mind about the place she calls home.
"We used to barbeque at night but you can't even do that anymore because you're scared someone is going to run through your yard with a gun," Cason said.
Lakeland Police say a big part in cleaning up the area comes down to the community cooperating with them. They need neighbors to call with what they hear is going on so they know to respond.

UFO lecture presents evidence of phenomenon
The lecture, The UFO Phenomenon: History Sightings and (even) Abductions, featuring Mark Rodeghier, kicked off the Stuart Appelle Lecture Series Thursday, Sept. 26.
The lecture series was in honor of Stuart Appelle. Dean Jose Maliekal said, "Stu was my colleague, my friend. Much of what I learned was because of Stu. It took his untimely death for this lecture to take place."
Maliekal said the lecture was made possible because of Appelle's friends. He then introduced Rodeghier, who has been the President and Scientific for the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) since 1986.
According to the website, cufos.org, the purpose of CUFOS is to study and examine the UFO phenomenon.
Rodeghier said he knew Appelle from his time at UFO Journal.
"Stu was one of the few academics seriously involved in [UFO] research."
Rodeghier posed a question to the crowd: Why do people study UFOs?
"Lots of people have stuck with [researching] because they've had their own sighting," he said, although he's never personally seen one.
He provided an example for the crowd. There was an incident on United Airlines Flight 94 Mar. 12, 1977. He said that the plane was flying at 30,000 feet on auto-pilot and the plane starts moving by itself. The pilots didn't immediately notice, until Boston Air Control asked, "Where are you going?"
They looked out the window and what they saw in front of their left wing was a bright light.
"Turns out UFOs don't get picked up on radars. It happens," Rodeghier said.
He said that all three compasses were malfunctioning and pointing in different directions, but the pilots still had control of the aircraft. He said that the captain didn't want to report the incident.
Rodeghier said that common questions by skeptics are, "Why aren't we seeing them in the sky?" and "Where are they?"
He went on to explain that there are 672 planets and 539 systems. He said there are 44 planets with orbits entirely habitable.
He then touched on Enrico Fermi's Paradox. According to fermiparadox.com, "The Fermi Paradox is the apparent contradiction between the high probability extraterrestrial civilizations' existence and the lack of contact with such civilizations."
"Where should we search for aliens? It turns out anyplace in the galaxy. One place we aren't supposed to look is on our earth," Rodeghier said.
Rodeghier said the modern era began with the Kenneth Arnold sighting.
"Has anyone in charge ever taken things seriously? The answer is unbelievably seriously," he said.
He said there used to be a military project called Project Blue Book that was created to find out more about UFOs. However, he said that almost everyone was taken off the project and reassigned immediately. He said that the military went into psychological denial and Project Blue Book became a public relations exercise.
Another insistence that he touched on was a swamp gas episode in Michigan in 1966. This caused congressional hearings on UFOs that led to a study by the University of Colorado. He said the study is still referred by the skeptics and couldn't explain many reports.
While a lot of people are skeptical of UFOs, Rodeghier said, "The French are different." He said they deal with interesting case studies.
Rodeghier said that what we know about UFOs is that the phenomenon is real. "What we know about UFOs is that there is more than one source for UFO sourcing."
He said that there are more than 100,000 UFO sightings. He shared other stories of UFO examples and encounters. He said that there are rare circumstances where there is evidence left behind. He then went on to explain that there are patterns of when people see UFOs, like cars.
He said that a big pattern is with cars. "The closer the object is, the more likely your car will shut down." He shared an incident where even a flashlight wouldn't work.
He also explained the UFO shape has evolved into giant triangles.
Rodeghier said that he has talked to more than 100 abductees over the years and that abductions didn't become frequent until the 1980s. He said he talked with a lot of women who were sexually abused who warped their experience into UFO abduction.
"All it did was just reinforce what I have already heard," senior Azechia Schutz said. "Aside from the content, I thought the presentation was good and kept me interested throughout the whole thing."

Jon Anderson Talks Yes
To most music fans, Jon Anderson's voice is synonomous with the music of Yes (even though he's quit the band twice, and 1980's Drama was recorded with a different singer). So it was a surprise when Yes announced that they were going on tour in 2008 without Anderson. Anderson had been suffering from acute respiratory failure, and was unable to tour at that point. The decision was made to hire a new singer, and they recruited Benoit David, who had fronted a Yes cover band called Close To The Edge. Last year, they released their first album with David, Fly From Here. Earlier this year, Yes relieved him of duty, replacing him with another former Yes tribute band frontman Jon Davison (from Roundabout, he was also a member of the '90s group Sky Cries Mary).
All throughout the band's tour, Yes leader and bass player Chris Squire has maintained that Jon Anderson has signed off on the new version(s) of the band. Anderson, in fact, just finished his latest solo acoustic tour, where he performed Yes classics alongside his solo material. We asked him how he feels about his former band touring without him. "They didn't really talk to me about the idea. I said, 'Guys, if you're gonna do this, I'm not going to stop you, but please let the fans know who is in the band.'"
Would he ever return to the band? Jon says "I'd never say no." Anderson's latest release is an 21 minute, four movement song called "Open," available as a digital download.
