Florida House approves bill to establish state IT agency
Send this to a friend
- Jim Turner, The News Service of Florida
The Florida House approved a $4.8 million proposal on Wednesday that lawmakers hope will prevent snafus like the months-long headaches brought on by the rollout of Florida's new $63 million jobless website.
The plan unanimously adopted by the House would create the Agency for State Technology, a new department that would be run by an agency head appointed by Gov. Rick Scott.
Democrats used the proposed IT agency as a platform to criticize the Department of Economic Opportunity's troubled Connect website that delayed payments for thousands of jobless individuals since the system went live in October.
"If we had a chief information officer we probably wouldn't have had the delays with the unemployment website," Rep. Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee, said.
The Senate Appropriations Committee is slated to vote on its version (SB 928) of the in-house IT agency on Thursday. The Senate last year approved a similar plan but the House failed to take up the measure.
Appropriations Chairman Seth McKeel, R-Lakeland, who ushered the IT measure through the House on Wednesday, blamed himself for the lack of action during the 2013 session.
"It was week two, three or four by the time we began to draft the bill and it required a lot of time by our staff," McKeel said.
The Connect system woes did not play a role in the planning of the new agency this year, McKeel insisted.
"This has been an issue in the state government for a while," he said. "We decided last summer this was an important project and to get it done."
The Senate proposal sets aside $2.9 million in recurring funds and would employ 25 full-time positions, while the House plan allocates $3.2 million in recurring funds for 27 full time workers. McKeel said the differences are being resolved.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Drivers will get a slight break at the pump this summer, according to the latest forecast from the Energy Information Administration.
The agency's summer energy cost forecast estimates the average price for a gallon of regular gas will be about $3.63 a gallon, down from last year's average of $3.69 a gallon. More fuel efficient cars are expected to trim consumption by about 21,000 barrels a day, and help keep prices in check. So will increased North American oil production.
The summer driving season runs from April through September.
The most expensive driving season came in 2008, when the average price was $3.81. AAA reported the highest daily price on record -- $4.11 a gallon -- on July 17 that year.
Prices could even be cheaper next year, as the energy forecasts the full-year average price will fall to $3.39 a gallon in 2014 from its forecast of $3.56 for this year. The full-year price of $3.63 in 2012 was the highest annual average on record.
It won't all be good news for consumers this summer.
Higher prices for natural gas, sparked by an unusually cold March that drew down supplies, could lead to higher electric rates this summer. The national average for retail electric rates is forecast to be up about 3%, taking prices up to about 12.5 cents per kilowatt hour.
But the agency is also predicting a cooler summer, so consumers might get a break on the electric bill though the reduced use of air conditioning.

The Golden Bears sit at 1-4 after their latest setback. Dave Miller
Cal is off to a 1-4 start this season, the worst beginning of Jeff Tedford's 11-year tenure at the school.
And his coaching seat is getting hotter by the week.
Jeff Tedford and the Golden Bears fell to 1-4 after the loss this weekend to ASU.
Despite athletic director Sandy Barbour saying before the season that Tedford's job was not in jeopardy, it appears that a strong turnaround could be needed for Tedford to return to Berkley in 2013.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, wealthy and influential school alumni are not happy with the direction of the program and its inability to be a consistent winner in the Pac-12. So raising funds to fire Tedford is not out of the question.
"I'm the last one off the bus when it comes to [firing] Tedford," a wealthy alum told the newspaper. "But we have to move on. His game management has been awful...If this doesn't turn around, I really think they'll buy him out. I'm predicting that if we finish under .500, he's gone."
The veteran coach is overseeing a program coming off of a 27-17 loss to Arizona State this past weekend, and it has already lost to Nevada, a good non-BCS team but certainly one that has inferior talent compared to the Golden Bears. This is the worst start in the Tedford era, and some alums may be very willing to help pay Tedford's salary for him to be dismissed. His contract runs through 2015 and there is no buyout. Thus, Cal would have to pay him a little less than $7 million for the remainder of his deal if he was let go at the end of the season.
The Golden Bears still have to play Top 25 teams Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington and UCLA this fall, so it's an uphill battle. The situation certainly is getting more bleak for Tedford as each and every disappointing week comes off of the schedule. And it's certainly not the type of start to the year the Cal athletic department envisioned with a renovated stadium and high expectations for 2012.
Tedford's career overall mark is 80-52 at the school, and he is 48–40 in conference play.

Splick-it Inc. has inked a deal to sponsor and be a technology partner with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign to build a customized "Order Food, End Hunger" Web and mobile application for its thousands of restaurant and hundreds of thousands of consumer supporters, according to a company press release.
The goal of the program is to make it easy for people to get involved in the No Kid Hungry campaign to end childhood hunger in America. By simply using the app to purchase food and round up their bill to make a charitable contribution, restaurant diners can play a part in making sure no child in America grows up hungry, said Rob Taylor, co-founder of Splick-it.
"We've been a long-time proponent of the restaurant industry joining forces to end childhood hunger in the U.S.," he said. "By participating in the Order Food, End Hunger app, the industry is adding another meaningful component to their charitable support of efforts to reduce childhood hunger. Each time someone rounds up to the nearest dollar or adds a dollar to their tab, the No Kid Hungry campaign is able to connect more children with the food they need to learn and grow."
Participating restaurants are invited to use Splick-it to aid and increase their promotion contributions, no matter which POS systems or mobile and web platforms they currently use, Taylor said.
"The restaurant industry continues to play an unprecedented role in our work to end childhood hunger in America, and the Order Food, End Hunger app is another tool this community can use in its united efforts to make No Kid Hungry a reality," said Tom Nelson, president of Share Our Strength. "This is great way for people to feel involved and do their part, simply by ordering food. We are encouraged by Splick-it's commitment to No Kid Hungry and this opportunity to grow support and interest in our work."

As you know, idling pollutes the air and affects our health. An idling vehicle emits twenty times more pollution than a vehicle traveling at 32 mph. This increase of air pollutants causes health problems in our children. Children's asthma symptoms increase as a result of exposure to car exhaust. In 2013, approximately one in six Utah students with asthma saw a doctor because of worsening asthma symptoms or an asthma episode or attack. We can improve the health of our students and reduce missed school days by encouraging no idling.
Information and instructions for installing Office 2013 are available here.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to get sex education in school know it's ultimately not much use at all. From embarrassed school nurses to fact-focused science teachers, there are few sex ed classes that actually get down to the sex part.
Being a college student affords many opportunities for both drinking and sex. They're available in copious quantities, and it can be great. What would college be without them? (OK, Brigham Young University, but never mind that.) When you drink and then have sex, it might seem like a good idea at the time, but it rarely is.
How (not) to grow up
Grab a Big Gulp and prepare to be scared
Sex is a minefield of dos and don'ts, expectations, and screw-ups. Sometimes it's hard to talk frankly about mashing your body into and against someone else's body. I mean come on, it's ridiculous. But talk you must – because otherwise stereotypes and tropes will get the best of you. Consider premature ejaculation.
It's not surprising the NFL would use breast cancer as a tool to reach women. Eleven out of 12 months of the year the focus is on men, with a few token mentions for women. But come October, the pink comes out in full force across America, and the NFL will be no exception during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Finally the nagging wife becomes an even better source of profit. Who doesn't want to save the boobies?
Right before the start of the quarter, strange art projects began to pop up all over campus. At first, devoid of signs to decode them, they were a mystery.

VIZIANAGARAM: Telugu Desam Polit Bureau member Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said on Friday that the party's manifesto would be ready by the second week of next month. The manifesto would reflect the people's problems, solutions and allocation of grants for redressal. A committee to implement it would also be constituted, he said at a press conference here.
Making light of the merger of Nava Telangana Party with the Praja Rajyam, Mr. Ramakrishnudu said that those who had quit the party and joined the PRP were planning to come back to party fold but the TDP would not admit them. The PRP-NTP alliance would have no impact on the prospects of the Grand alliance. He said that the alliance, after coming to power, would scrap the proposal of coastal corridor and review the allocation of lands to SEZs.
With regard to 'pavala vaddi,' he said that the Congress government had extended loans not more than Rs.150crores whereas the revolving fund sanctioned during the five years of TDP regime was about Rs.220 crores.
On Abhaya Hastham scheme, he said that the eligible would be limited and those who had been getting old age pension of Rs.200 would sure to lose it. He criticised the government for issuing over 800 GOs in just two to three days time.

Knowing the twisted functionality of zippy´s little brain, the plan would have been to gouge the taxpayers to cover the majority of the subsidy in the first year, then, when they were already numb, squeeze out the rest of their earnings to subsidize all those who were exempted from the mandate. As we´ve said from the beginning, there just isn´t enough money in circulation to cover this boondoggle. It´s dead Jim.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) reveals deterioration, cracking, delamination, corrosion and other factors that may otherwise remain undetected.
Within Canada and the U.S., bridges and roads are rapidly aging. Moreover, coming up with the funds necessary each year to replace and repair essential infrastructure is an ongoing challenge.
In response, many cities and engineering firms are beginning to incorporate a non-invasive technology known as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) into the condition assessment process. GPR provides a cost-effective method to examine the subsurface conditions of roads and bridges, and deliver insights into deterioration, cracking, delamination, corrosion and other factors that may otherwise remain undetected.
Our RoadMap solution provides ground-coupled GPR surveying which yields extremely high resolution data. It is collected at posted speeds which often reduces or completely eliminates the need for traffic control. Unlike traditional inspection methods such as chain dragging and hammer sounding, GPR picks up on subsurface anomalies at the inception stage, before they become a threat to structural integrity. Moreover, the results of the survey are objective and not dependent on an operator's skill level or interpretation. Once analyzed, locations for coring can be selectively targeted based on areas that indicate weathering or deterioration. This greatly reduces the amount of destructive testing required. Results are then calibrated and incorporated into geo-referenced maps combined with a deterioration index that determines good versus deteriorated condition. Data can be stored each time a bridge or road is inspected to create a predictive model of how the infrastructure might change overtime.
This supports more informed planning around design and rehabilitation which in turn, improves infrastructure reliability. In fact, in 2005, the U.S. Transportation Research Board launched a body of research known as the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) which concluded that capturing data via non-destructive techniques serves to prevent the premature and unexpected failure of roads and bridge decks.

Well made and very cute little sculpture...sandals are the size of about two decks of cards stacked end to end. A bit on the expensive side...found the exact sandal in a single at a clearance center. Wished the sculpture was oversized like my other scandal sculpture on miniature...as this would add more conversational value in my opinion.

Musikgarten classes elevate kinesthetic, logical, spatial, and social intelligences through musical instruction to children ages 3 months to 10 years. Each course responds to the developmental needs of a particular age group, with activities and acquired skills becoming more complex as classes ascend in age group. Family Music for Babies (ages 3–16 months) engages an adult and infant with 30–35 minutes of bouncing songs, dancing, and playing simple instruments. Curiosity curdles in amateur earthling brains and a foundation for future musical exploration is set during the Cycle of Seasons course, where children 3-1/2 to 5 years of age flirt with the foundations of rhythm and tune, coddle concentration skills, and garner the ability to self-express through sound waves. The Young Musician and Piano class, for ages 4-1/2–6 and 7–10 respectively, focus on symbolic thinking, memory, and listening acuity, and run for 55–60 minutes or until the first prodigious rock opera has been composed.
Before Jordyn Palmer founded Edge Performing Arts and Dance, she unleashed her powerful pipes on the stages of Carnegie Hall and Avery Fischer Hall. These experiences, along with holding starring roles in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Jane Eyre, readied Palmer to lead fledgling singers and actors toward their own performance goals. Along with dance teacher Sanna James, Palmer leads private lessons, group classes, and summer camps that focus on stage presence, self-confidence, and turning every Shakespearean sonnet into a dance number.
Flung from the concert stage by the drummer of T-Rex, a single drumstick caught by eighth grader Donn Bennett began a lifelong passion for collecting rare and celebrity drum sets. He began selling and trading equipment from his home, and eventually his constantly expanding collection prompted him to open his own shop in 1977. Today, as recorded by King 5 Magazine, more than 50 signed snares hang from the store's ceiling above a show room circled by 15 sets previously used by drummers from bands such as Green Day, Aerosmith, Kansas, and Cheap Trick. Snares played by The Who's Keith Moon and Kiss' Peter Criss, a signed drumhead by The Beatles' Ringo Starr, and feline whiskers fashioned into drumsticks by Josie and the Pussycats round out Donn's extensive exhibit.
Along with the displayed celeb drums, Donn dispenses new and used drum gear to customers along with vintage snare parts and major-brand replacement parts for sets in need of repair. Stocked with two professional drum sets and a Roland electronic drum tutor, soundproof learning rooms shelter pupils and instructors during private 30- or 60-minute lessons for all skill levels. Along with annual rock camps and clinics, Donn's staff leads specialized classes in diverse drumming topics such as mastering the techniques of Led Zeppelin's John Bonham and the cymbal-smacking techniques of Animal from the Muppets.

Capped at 15 people each and taught by one of three instructors, Roadmap to Your Camera classes spend 2.5 hours exploring the functions of a camera and their various roles in creating a compelling photograph. Though point-and-shoot digital cameras are welcome, the workshop's information best works for those with cameras with several functions, such as varying shutter speeds, ISO settings, and a chupacabra-proximity alarm. Pixels to Prints is a 2.5-hour presentation and tutorial dedicated to learning the best methods to organize photos stored on your hard drive. The workshop also explores basic editing techniques to create high-quality images to share online or print.
Students of all ages and levels greatly benefit from this fun yet intense learning environment located in Bellevue. Our curriculum covers: Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Keyboards, Harmonica, Ukulele, Vocals & Digital Recording. Our talented instructors are fluent in all modern musical genres. Music is our first language.
The sound specialists at Bellevue American Music help outfit local bands and aspiring rock stars with musical equipment from brands such as Fender, Korg, Yamaha, Roland, and Bogner in the bright, open showroom. Learning to play the intro song to Hogan's Heroes from sheet music is much easier with an On Stage XCG4 guitar stand ($13.49) and artillery of D'Addario EXL120 strings ($5.99). Hone vocal skills outside of showers with an On Stage mic stand ($29.99), or squelch creative differences with the raucous roar of the Peavey Vypyr 15 amp ($99.99). Those eager to accessorize the recent growth of their folk-indie beard may nab a Lee Oskar harmonica ($38.99) and settle into their tax accountant's stoop for an impromptu show.

After the Newtown massacre, President Barack Obama and many liberal politicians thought they were poised to enact dramatic gun control laws. Things haven't played out as they expected.
Gun control measures were first weakened and then defeated in the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate, an embarrassing public relations debacle for the Obama administration. Liberals took some satisfaction in seeing gun control measures pass at the state level. In swing-state Colorado, lawmakers voted to restrict ammunition-magazine capacity, require background checks for all firearms sales and require gun buyers to pay for those background checks. Liberals warned that Colorado's embrace of gun control proved opponents were outside the mainstream and risked public blowback.
Now it turns out that Democrats who supported gun control in Colorado are the ones experiencing blowback, not the measures' opponents. Colorado Senate President John Morse faces the prospect of a recall election. A group called the Basic Freedom Defense Fund is seeking 7,178 signatures on a petition before a June 3 deadline to force a recall election.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions all.
I tried pvp with my escort yesterday and got pummelled in the first game. I see what you mean about escorts needing a good team to go with them. I had 3 cruisers and a sci and none of them were working together so essentially it was everyone for themself.
Also being used to usually winning pvp its a bit disheartening to keep getting blown up
again and again.
But hey ho, that hows we learn. I need to find ways to increase my survivability.....

World Card Making Day: The Results!
Hello! I was super motivated in the card making department yesterday, so I hope you have a beverage and free time! There are a lot of pictures coming! :)
For this first card, I decided to do bold with a pop of color. I used a fun new stencil that looks like basket weaving, along with white and black accents. I made this one for a challenge, so I'll blog more about it at a later date. Here's a close up:
I used the above Cardmaps sketch to create this card. I used Echo Park's Hear and Now collection, as well as Paper Smooches feather dies. To get the fun finish on the feathers, first I masked off the bottom portion and then blended on some deep pink ink. While it was still masked, I applied Versamark and clear embossing powder over it. (As it turns out, my clear powder also has flecks of white in it, so it added a bit more character to the feathers.) Once that was dry, I masked off the next section and used silver embossing powder this time. I used the same silver powder for the sentiment and finished everything off with silver glitter enamel dots. My new favorite things! Here's a close up of the details:
For this next card, I started by masking off the square in the center, then applied the confetti stamp using Versamark. I covered it with clear powder and then applied distress ink in Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers, blending in the center to get the fun purpley color. I cut the Winnie and Walter sentiment out of glitter cardstock using my Cameo. That's it! Here is a close up of the details:
I made this next card for my hubby's bday (and you can see that I took the picture after I had already written in it. :/) First I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and used clear embossing powder over it. I masked off the top area of watercolor paper and then got it really wet with my thick paintbrush. Then I pressed two colors of ink onto a large stamp block and spritzed them with water. I took a smaller brush and started to dab the ink on in a somewhat random pattern. Usually I'm not very good at this, but I really love how this one turned out. Once everything was dry, I used my clothing iron and a paper towel to take off the embossing powder, making this a completely flat front with no dimension. I backed the paper with matching blue paper and that's it!
I wanted to make a cute fall card, so I grabbed some fall-colored distress inks (Crushed Olive and Peacock Feathers - because teal) and blended them over a stencil I made with my Cameo. Then I stamped the fox from Sweet Stamp Shop with a brown ink and covered the parts I wanted to stay white with rubber cement. I then blended Spiced Marmelade over it. When I took off the rubber cement, some of the color from the top of it smeared on to the image, so I ended up blending it all with a clean blending pad. I like how it turned out. I used two different patterns of woodgrain washi to mimic logs that the little guy might be sitting next to and then added a coordinating button with white buralp twine. Here is a close up of the details:
For this card, I started by stamping two rows of this fun border stamp from Avery Elle on the bottom of the kraft card base. Then I adhered the speech bubble at the top, which was cut using a Lawn Fawn die. I stamped some pretty Peonies from WPlus9, added the Simon Says Stamp sentiment, then threw on some enamel dots. I love how it turned out. Actually, when I caught this out of the corner of my eye, I thought the bottom of the card looked like burlap, which made me love the result even more. Here's a close up of the details:
This is a card I started on WCMD-eve. I stamped the Paper Smooches images and then masked them so I could use a stencil and apply transparent embossing paste over it. Once the paste was dry, I masked the snowmen again and then used Broken China distress ink to blend over the falling snow and under the snowmen. I did some paper piecing and some coloring with colored pencils to color everything else in. Here is a close up of the details:
Well that is it for me! I hope you enjoyed seeing what I made yesterday and I hope you made time for yourself to make some cards as well! Until next time...

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (a couple days late)!
Hey, all! I stumbled upon one of the most amazing blog hops this past Monday...a coffee lovers' blog hop! I start my day with my version of a mocha (coffee, sugar free chocolate, stevia and coconut milk) and my family knows not to talk to me until I've had some in the morning. :) I just knew I had to play along. :) I originally posted this card to my instagram page because the hubs was on the computer after I made this and just couldn't understand my immediate need to use the computer. Silly boy. :)
Here is the card I made:
I don't have a dedicated "coffee lover" stamp set, so I pulled the coffee cup from the Paper Smooches Warm Hearts set and stamped it with some creamy brown chalk ink. Then I filled in one of the hearts with a colored pencil and covered the entire cup with glossy accents. Unfortunately my glossy accents is old, so it dried kind of yellow, but you get the point. I put a tiny strip of coordinating pink cardstock onto the kraft cardstock base, then adhered the front to the card. Simple and to the point. And coffee. My favorite things. :)
That's all for today! Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
Until next time...

(Insert Witty Post Title Here)
Hello! Forgive my lack of a title for this post. I've had a long day and have a headache...the brain doesn't want me to be witty, I guess. :( I'm here to post another card I made using this week's Cutting Edge and CAS(E) this challenges.
For a refresher, here they are:
And here is the card I made:
|Terrible lighting tonight...no bueno!
That's all for today! I'll be back tomorrow with a card I made for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop that was held yesterday (Monday, Sept 29th).

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Today I am playing along with this week's Cutting Edge and CAS(E) this Sketch challenges. Here is what I was working with:
How could I NOT play along with the Cutting Edge challenge...it's my colors! :) Here is the card I made:
I started by masking off a stencil I made a while back using my Silhouette. Then I used Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry distress inks to fill in the background. After that was finished, I flicked on some Graphite Glimmer Mist (since I didn't have any black). I cut out the Winnie and Walter sentiment with my Silhouette twice. Once with black cardstock and once with black glitter cardstock. I adhered the two together and to the card using Glossy Accents. I added the pink cardstock strip and I was done! I love how it turned out! Here is a close up of the details:
That is all I have for today! Thanks for stopping by!

CAS(E) this Sketch #93
Now that it is officially Fall, I was in the mood to pull out my Sweet Stamp Shop Foxy set and make a cute card with it. I used this week's CAS(E) this Sketch to guide me along.
Here is the sketch:
And here is the card I made:
I used the washi tape from My Mind's Eye's Cut and Paste Charm collection for this card. I lined a bunch up on a piece of scrap cardstock, then cut out the outside frame with a die. Then I cut a similar-sized square in the front of the card. Before I adhered the frame, I put the washi tape border on and the washi pennant on the side (which was backed on cardstock to make it more sturdy). I then marked on the inside where the open area would be on the card, and got stamping!
I colored the fox using my water pen and the same ink color that I stamped it in. I masked off the fox and then stamped the grass in two contrasting greens. I think he turned out so cute!
I put the sentiment in the speech bubble using complementing ink colors, then cut it out and adhered it to the frame. Then I used some Charm enamel dots to finish everything off. Don't you just love when something looks exactly like you pictured it in your head?
That is all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...

More Peonies...
I love when a new stamp set can just make you want to create, create, create! I am back with another card that I made using Wplus9's Pretty Peonies set.
I wanted to use elements from the Fresh Cut Florals set for this card. Here is what I made:
Fresh Cut Florals. For the sentiment, I used my favorite silver embossing powder...because I can't seem to get enough of it. :) I layered the top piece on top of a blue cardstock that matches the darker blue ink color that I used on the card. I love how it just seems to make the pinks pop more.
That is all for today! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
Until next time...

Pretty, More Like GORGEOUS, Peonies
Guys. I'm in love. Have you seen Wplus9's new set called Pretty Peonies? It. Is. Gorgeous!! I really love their Fresh Cut Florals set, too. They just make the BEST layering stamps. I recently got some pretty new pink ink pads that I was dying to try out with these stamps.
I was completely inspired by this card by Joni Andaya:
I loved the grouping of the flowers on one side and the sentiment on the other. This is what I came up with:
My flowers aren't as full and interesting as Joni's but I still think they turned out SO beautifully. I stamped the base of the flowers in a very light pink, then second-generation stamped the details with a darker pink color. (The sentiment is first generation of the same color, to give you an idea of the difference between the first/second generations.)
I finished the card off with some pink sequins from Avery Elle and some crystal clear sequins from Neat and Tangled. For my first time playing with this set, I couldn't be more thrilled with the way the card turned out!
That's all for today! I'll be back soon!
Until then...

Chaz Bono to Go Dancing with the Starsby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Dancing with the Stars has got Chaz Bono, babe.
The child of Cher and Sonny Bono, Chaz will become the first transgender contestant in the history of the ABC competition. For those wondering, sources confirm this woman-turned-man will be partnered with a female when the season premieres on September 19.
The new Dancing with the Stars cast will be announced on Monday night, but the following names are considered locks for the 2011-2012 season:
- Kim Richards: Real, Spoiled Housewife of Beverly Hills
- David Arquette: Courteney Cox's ex, easy erector
- Elisabetta Canalis: George Clooney's ex, model
- Rob Kardashian: Talent-free reality star
Queen Latifah and Tiffani Thiessen, meanwhile, are rumored to be a part of the show.
I feel that the judges are losing site of the fact that this is a dance competion not a fashion show or a judgement call about looks or weight. Whe these stars are choosen the show knows who they are and what they look like. Comments have been made about weight...Chas being a penguin and Max's partner being too athletic well that is who they are. There is so many comments about Chas and Max that it is becoming sickening. Judges are accountable for their unfar remarks also. Len..if you have been in this business for fifty years maybe it is time for a new judge and shame on you for your comment..they were wrong also. Maybe the judges should have to do a dance and be judged...that would be an interesting show.
Thank you, Govan d. Appreciate the encouragement. :o)
LOOK . bottom line. alot of people are open about being gay in this age . and media has learned to accept it and we can treat each other like god wants us to with love . christians will treat each other with love and compassion wether they are gay or not but that does not change the fact it is wrong.
Yes it is wrong
Bravo to Rank! . freedomof speach and freedom of expressions works both ways . it goes back to that beauty pagent contestant what she thought about gay marriage. she honestly and NON-Hatefully. answered her opinion. and she was branded to be all these awful things she was not. People just accept that homosexuality may be accepted in entertainment and media but it will never change that is what it is WRONG.
Sad how everyone is all for freedowm of speach and freedom of expression UNTIL a Christian speaks up and shares their opinions according to Biblical Truth.
"I as well am tired of being criticized for my opinions concerning what dishonors GOD...Believers are not all hateful and choose His way instead of the ways of the world. That is our God given right. This has not been set up as entertainment but a ploy to infiltrate the audience with homosexuality and perversion to be accepted. No, I won't be watching DWTS this year. And yes, we do pray for these people to accept Gods way and repent and turn from their sins." Amen! Good word!
It is just as much of an abomination as it ever was no matter how much the unbelieving unregenerate majority condone and accept it.
The mysteries of why one chooses to be a man or woman is unknown truly at this point . but please don't accuse those who do not agree with the choices and for those who stil choose to follow gods ways. and yes God is the ultimate judge. but that does not mean those who disaprove should be happy and pleased that this is becoming a media acceptance and told that we are bigots . that is not right either. Please people just LOVE GOD and bring him more into our lives.
What i don't understand is. If your gonna change to a man . atleast try to change to become a good looking man. maybe if chaz lost alot of weight he'll look so hot he will want to change back to a woman.

If you're a football fan, a weekend chore warrior, or a professional porch sitter, you probably know a thing or two about beer. To be considered an expert, you must know your facts. Read on for beer particulars you can use to impress your friends.
After tea, beer is the most popular beverage around the globe. Technically water is the most consumed beverage worldwide, but in terms of drinks you have to produce, tea is number one and beer is number two. Who hasn't been tempted to join him when Captain Picard utters the words "Tea, Earl Grey, hot"?
With over 400 types of beer, Belgium has the most individual beer brands in the world. Belgium produces some of the most recognizable beers in the world, and those beers are often served in specialized barware designed to highlight the special flavors in each brew. Exotic barware also works to add a sense of occasion to any event and cement the brand in your mind. Stella Artois, for example, is traditionally served in a classic Stella Chalice. Beer isn't all Belgium has going for it, of course; they're also known for their chocolates.
In Japan, beer is sold in vending machines. Beer can also be purchased from street vendors and in train stations as well as in grocery stores and restaurants. The Japanese are nearly as famous for their specialty vending machines as they are for their electronics. Brands like Sony and Panasonic continue to dominate the market.
Cenosillicaphobia is the fear of an empty beer glass. Do your guests, and yourself, a favor and never find out who suffers from this malady. Stock up on glasses and tasty beverages to fill them with and your house will always be a popular hangout.

According to a passenger of the Mayflower, as recorded in a diary, the ship stopped at Plymouth Rock rather than continuing on to Virginia as planned due to a lack of beer on the ship. You never know what might turn out to be fascinating information, so grab a journal and start recording your day-to-day experiences and thoughts.
Tailgate parties are fueled by beer. In the week surrounding the Super Bowl, approximately 51.7 million cases of beer will be sold. Averaged out over the length of a football game, that's just over 300 million beers to be consumed each hour of the game. Make sure to soak some of it up with popcorn so you'll be awake for the end of the game.
George Washington liked beer. He is reported to have had his own brew house on the grounds of Mount Vernon and to have a particular fondness for porter. If you want to follow in the footsteps of a founding father, you can try your hand at brewing your own beer; home-brewing kits have made it much easier than it was in the 1700s.
The first beer cans were produced in 1935. Since their inception in the 1930s, beer cans have become ubiquitous. Not only are they unbreakable, so you can take them camping, but they stack in coolers, so they're easily transportable. Thought that was the peak of beer can innovation? Think again. Cans exist today that change color to alert you when your beer is perfectly chilled, and cans can even be used as BBQ accessories to flavor foods as they cook (try placing an open beer can inside a whole chicken standing up on the grill).
