Same-sex marriage law rings true for 2 lawyers
By Neil Steinberg firstname.lastname@example.com November 9, 2013 6:45PM
Tzu-Kai Lo and Alain Villeneuve share a moment together on the elevator of at Trump Tower, Thursday November 7, 2013. | Jessica Koscielniak / Chicago Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: November 10, 2013 12:45PM
Tzu-Kai Lo was studying for his Masters in Law at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 2001.
If you think studying law is difficult, try studying law when your command of the English language is shaky. Lo, born in Taiwan, had been in the U.S. for just two years.
And the class wasn't just law but patent law. That is like regular law, only duller.
In his class was another international student, Alain Villeneuve, a French speaker from Montreal whose English was excellent and constantly being heard in class.
One evening, Lo was studying, or trying to, bewildered at what he was attempting to understand. Desperate, he thought the Canadian student might help him.
"He talked a lot in class, always talking," Lo said. "You cannot stop him. I figured I would ask him for help."
And OK, to be honest, Lo thought the chatty classmate was hot.
"I can't say there is not some interest," he said.
But there was a problem. They had met, but Lo didn't know his name.
"I was never really properly introduced to him," he said.
So Lo went to the University of Illinois' website portal and started looking at the 600 faces on the profiles of his fellow students, beginning with "A."
And looked.
And looked.
Villeneuve starts with a "V," remember. The search took an hour.
But what is a love story without obstacles?
Villeneuve got a momentous phone call.
"This guy with a big accent asked me to help him with homework," said Villeneuve, a man with a checkered past.
"I'm a weird guy," he said. "I was once married to a woman, for 10 years. A French woman."
He had known he was gay since he was 12 (his mother said she knew since he was 6). But he had never had a boyfriend. When he married, Villeneuve was a 21-year-old engineer.
"When I met this woman, she was very French, and I said, 'OK, I'll run with this,'" Villeneuve remembered. "She was like a best friend."
But at some point, best friends aren't enough. He divorced her, left France, gave up engineering, started life again.
"I came back to the U.S., went to law school," he said. Then one day the phone rang. A guy from patent law class.
"He wanted more than my knowledge of patent law," Villeneuve said. "My heart started racing. I never felt that."
For Lo, though their meeting was "destiny," love took a little longer. He was impressed with how Villeneuve helped him study — crafting charts, prodding him to work harder with gifts, helping him clear the linguistic hurdles.
"It was a difficult and frustrating time for me," Lo said. "He was very, very patient. That's when I said, 'He pretty much is standing by my side.' "
The two moved in together.
"For quite some time I didn't tell my family about our relationship," Lo said. "They knew something was going on, but it was a don't ask/don't tell situation. I officially came out to my sisters three years ago. They were shocked, but they were happy because it was a person they knew."
The two men — Villeneuve is 46, Lo a decade younger — live in a high-rise near Navy Pier with their West Highland White Terriers, Austin and Oscar. They are part of a tight-knit group of friends who admire them.
"They're great. Completely in love," said Paul Coyle, a partner at Villeneuve's firm, Vedder Price.
"They're a great example of why marriage is a civil right. They're no different than any other couple in terms of being committed to each other."
They knew they were for each other before marriage was a distant possibility.
"In our case, it's life partners. I'm old-fashioned," Villeneuve said. "I believe in marriage, in being faithful and truthful, and being exclusive with someone."
The idea of marriage crept up obliquely.
Villeneuve gave Lo a lovely ring. Then another. "The first one wasn't good enough," Villeneuve said.
Usually a proposal leads to a ring; here it was the other way around.
"It wasn't really about proposing, it was about my Christmas gift," Lo said. "He is French Canadian — Christmas is a very important holiday for them. Because of our two dogs, I don't like to board them. So I always have him travel to Montreal by himself. He felt guilty, leaving me alone on Christmas, even though I don't particularly care at all. He got me a ring from Graff. A very, very substantial ring. It was a very beautiful ring. He said, 'This is your engagement ring.' In that sense it was a proposal, though not in a very formal setting."
Lo wears three rings — platinum bands — one tastefully circled with diamonds. Villeneuve wears a pinkie ring that belonged to Lo's father, a Taiwanese government official.
Meanwhile, the move toward legalized same-sex marriage continued unfolding.
"We're both lawyers. We've been following this very closely," Villeneuve said.
They had been tempted to form a civil union. Same-sex marriage is illegal in Taiwan, though the legislature is moving to change that. It's been legal in Canada since 2005, and Villeneuve's family is there.
"I think it's a sign of respect [to be allowed to be married]," Villeneuve said. "We're not going to do this until we have equal rights."
Then Illinois law changed Tuesday.
"We saw the news," Lo said. "I'd been following the bill online all day and listened to part of the live debate. I texted him, and he was, 'OK, great, let's get married.' "
"We just kind of waited it out," Villeneuve said. "It's recognition from the straight majority in the state that the fighting's over. A sign of recognition. We've been together for 12 years; we want to be together for 30 years. We need marriage."
Nobody wants to be proposed to in a text, however.
"It wasn't him getting down on one knee," Lo said. "I wrote back, 'Hold on a second, you've got to propose again, make sure this time it's more formal.' "
That's coming, along with a big wedding, and, maybe, kids conceived via surrogate.
"We want to get married in the state of Illinois," Villeneuve said. "It wasn't making sense for us to be traveling off to get married in a different state."
And why does Villeneuve want to marry Lo?
"Why? Kai's Kai. He's perfect. I love him," Villeneuve said. "He's a young prince. He's gorgeous. He's brilliant. He could have been a model if he was a little taller. The full package, just the full package. He's like a tiger mom, very demanding on himself and others."
And why does Lo want to marry Villeneuve? He spoke about his grandmother, how they were very close, and he dreamt of her a lot after she died in 1998.
"When we started living together, I dreamt of her less and less. She used to be my guardian angel," he said to Villeneuve, starting to cry. "Maybe she isn't anymore, because I have you. So maybe I have a new guardian angel."
A June wedding?
"I think so," Lo said. "The plan is to get married in June. We don't have a date yet."
"I've been through this before," Villeneuve said. "We need a venue."
"I know where the venue is," said Lo. "The Park Hyatt."
So now, like countless other couples, Alain Villeneuve and Tzu-Kai Lo work out the logistics of their wedding, prompted by the classic nuptial concern that if they don't act fast, wherever they go they'll find, as Villeneuve put it, "another 5,000 couples waiting in line."
June should be a very, very busy month for weddings in Illinois.
And what is a love story without obstacles?

Real Software, creator of award-winning cross-platform web and desktop app development tools, prides itself on the revolutionary new visual way to make web apps using Real Studio, but also has demonstrated high security for web apps. Targeted attacks and data theft are changing web security. According to this study from HP's Application Security Center, for every known web app, seven out of ten times there is at least one SQL injection flaw that is just waiting to be discovered by a hacker.
Bob Keeney, a longtime Real Studio developer, and CEO of BKeeney Software, a consulting, training and custom software development company, was recently victim to a website hack attempt. It unfortunately brought down his entire website, except the section he had created as a web application using Real Studio Web Edition.
Bob's website was using an older version of the popular CMS, Joomla. When he first started offering Real Studio video training, he was relying upon several Joomla components that would stop working if they updated to a newer version. A little more than a year ago, Bob converted the Real Studio training section of the website to a Real Studio web app.
"We were down for about 24 hours after the hack, as we had to spend some time formatting new webpages, rearranging links and uploading it to get the site back up and running," detailed Keeney. "We believe the hacker was able to upload a PHP file through a flaw in Joomla, which executed a variety of commands that rewrote many of the PHP files, so it could execute arbitrary commands and reinfect itself again if we didn't eradicate all of the infected files."
"Our main website would not load and it also took down our bug tracking system, which also uses PHP," continued Keeney. "Our Real Studio video training app functioned perfectly, however. In fact, we even had several people sign up for subscriptions and many were watching videos even though the rest of the website was down."
"At Real Software, we take web security very seriously in the Real Studio web application framework," commented Geoff Perlman, Real Software Founder and CEO. "Because web apps are accessible to any number of online users, the security of web apps is paramount."
"Most traditional web development languages are interpreted, meaning your web app is a set of files on a server," continued Perlman. "If someone gains access to that server, they gain access to your source code. Real Studio compiles your web project to binary code so your source code is not stored on the server. In order for someone to alter your application they would have to be very familiar with x86 assembly code and be willing to spend an extremely long time tracing through that code. This is, at the least, an order of magnitude far more difficult than hacking any other web technology source code."
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) provides information on web application security and recently posted a list of the top 10 web application security issues. Though a few of these issues require the developer to be more diligent, most cannot be used to hack into a web application created with Real Studio.
Using Real Studio to make web apps is truly unique as you do not need to know numerous web technologies, like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, PHP or Java. Instead, Real Studio provides a completely visual, drag and drop interface builder that saves hours of time compared to coding HTML and CSS by hand. Its high-level, object-oriented language allows you to focus on your application's logic using a single language.
BKeeney's website receives several thousand website visits per month. In the year that the Web Edition training area has been running it has served up over 3,100 hours of streaming video to about 800 Real Studio users.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation.

Fewer US banks fail as industry improvesBy MARCY GORDON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | December 29,2012AP PHOTO
A man walks past a Wells Fargo location in Philadelphia. U.S. banks are ending the year with the highest profits since 2006.WASHINGTON U.S. banks are ending the year with their best profits since 2006 and fewer failures than at any time since the financial crisis struck in 2008. Theyre helping support an economy slowed by high unemployment, flat pay, sluggish manufacturing and anxious consumers.
As the economy heals from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, more people and businesses are taking out and repaying loans.
And for the first time since 2009, banks earnings growth is being driven by higher revenue a healthy trend. Banks had previously managed to boost earnings by putting aside less money for possible losses.
Signs of the industrys gains:
Banks are earning more. In the July-September quarter, the industrys earnings reached $37.6 billion, up from $35.3 billion a year earlier. It was the best showing since the July-September quarter of 2006, long before the financial meltdown. By contrast, at the depth of the Great Recession in the last quarter of 2008, the industry lost $32 billion.
Banks are lending a bit more freely. The value of loans to consumers rose 3.2 percent in the 12 months that ended Sept. 30 compared with the previous 12 months, according to data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. More lending fuels more consumer spending, which drives roughly 70 percent of economic activity. At the same time, overall lending remains well below levels considered healthy over the long run.
Fewer banks are considered at risk of failure. In July through September, the number of banks on the FDICs confidential problem list fell for a sixth straight quarter. These banks numbered 694 as of Sept. 30 about 9.6 percent of all federally insured banks. At its peak in the first quarter of 2011, the number of troubled banks was 888, or 11.7 percent of all federally insured institutions.
Bank failures have declined. In 2009, 140 failed. In 2010, more banks failed 157 than in any year since the savings and loan crisis of the early 1990s. In 2011, regulators closed 92. This year, the number of failures has trickled to 51. Thats still more than normal. In a strong economy, an average of only four or five banks close annually. But the sharply reduced pace of closings shows sustained improvement.
Less threat of loan losses. The money banks had to set aside for possible losses fell 15 percent in the July-September quarter from a year earlier. Loan portfolios have strengthened as more customers have repaid on time. Losses have fallen for nine straight quarters. And the proportion of loans with payments overdue by 90 days or more has dropped for 10 straight quarters.
We are definitely on the back end of this crisis, says Josh Siegel, chief executive of Stonecastle Partners, a firm that invests in banks.
The biggest boost for banks is the gradually strengthening economy. Employers added nearly 1.7 million jobs in the first 11 months of 2012. More people employed mean more people and businesses can repay loans. And after better-than-expected economic news last week, some analysts said the economy could end up growing faster in the October-December quarter and next year than previously thought.
That assumes Congress and the White House can strike a budget deal to avert the fiscal cliff the steep tax increases and spending cuts that are set to kick in Jan. 1. If they dont reach a deal, those measures would significantly weaken the economy.
Banks have also been bolstered by higher capital, their cushion against risk. Banks boosted capital 3.8 percent in the third quarter, FDIC data show. And the industrys average ratio of capital to assets reached a record high.
On the other hand, many banks are no longer benefiting from record-low interest rates. They still pay almost nothing to depositors and on money borrowed from other banks or the government. But steadily lower rates on loans other than credit cards have reduced how much banks earn.
This interest-rate pressure on the banks becomes very difficult to overcome, says Fred Cannon, chief equity strategist and director of research at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods.

Memorial held for hit-and-run victim's birthday
Friends and family of Michael England joined together Thursday to remember their friend on what would be his 26th birthday.
England was hit and killed by a car in May 2013 at the intersection of Pitts and Slay Road in the Dinsmore area of Jacksonville while walking home.
England's family and friends gathered in the rain Thursday night to tell stories and share memories about him.
Members of Justice For All and MAD DADS joined England's family in a prayer.
There still have been no arrests made in connection to England's death.
Family and friends have struggled to keep the public's attention on this case and they are urging anyone with information on England's death to call Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.

I purchased this 20" box chain to hold a diamond pendant. While the chain looks delicate, it is very strong and has a beautiful shine. The clasp seems secure, not flimsy or easy to accidentally slide open. I bought this to go along with the 24" box chain I had previously purchased. They look very elegant together.
This is a beautiful necklace. It is very fine and thin. Therefore I took great care when wearing the necklace. Sadly after a week it broke. Loved it right out the bag but NOT worth he money. Loved it so much that I tossed the packaging. Big mistake. Do not waste our money.
The chain is tiny,but was for a charm and its not worn daily. A box chain is more solid and not prone to breaking as links which I had purchased for as a gift for my boyfriend.
Everyone has been going on and on and on about how bad this necklace is - NOT true! Yes, it's very thin....but 'box' chains are much stronger than the usual 'link' ones. Works to hold a cross around me neck. Had to increase the length of the 18" chain I was wearing because, ummm, it must've shrunk or something LOL It holds a gold cross, does what it's supposed to do (without making me look like a Mr. T wannabe) and has not caused me any probs in the weeks I've had it.
Very light weight fragile, not for a child. This chain is not very sturdy, I would not recommend it to anyone who planned to wear it a lot.
Purchase for my daughter to wear on her wedding day. Was a little small so I purchased the same necklace but got an 18".
This is a great chain at an inexpensive price. The delivery was fast and I have no complaints.
Always in need of extra gold chains .I have lots of pendants and charms that I wear . I like to have extra chains around to use when needed. This was a great value for that purpose. Thanks overstock for another great value.
This chain is way thinner than it appears. I returned it.
Pretty chain but poor quality. Onlywore two days and went to adjust and it broke. Very disapointed.

Is more immigration to Britain a good thing?
Vince Cable mocks David Cameron's failure to control EU immigration influx | Mail Online
I have lot of time for Vince Cable, and what he says makes a lot of sense. If the figures add up, and British businesses are profiting from more foreign workers being attracted here, how is this a bad thing? Why should I or anyone be that bothered that a European gets a job rather than a British person? Moving country to get employment is a huge commitment, and someone who would do this is a go-getter, and will likely make for a good worker. Yes, restrict access to this country to those who have gained jobs, and ensure that numbers are restricted so that public services can still cope, but aside from those caveats I would welcome foreign workers coming to this country. The only reason I could think for not doing so is simple xenophobia.

Islamist militants seized and tortured 50 Christians in the Libyan city of Benghazi
It is becoming increasingly clear that Christianity is no more welcome in Libya after the Arab Spring than under the rule of Muammar Gaddafi before it. The churches are composed almost entirely of expatriate Christians, but many have left in the face of violent attacks and the growing strength of both political and militant Islamism.
On 24 February 2014, the bodies of seven Egyptian Christians were found on a beach on the outskirts of Benghazi. They had been rounded up by a group of suspected Islamists the night before, taken away at gunpoint and shot dead. The masked assailants raided the building in which the Egyptians lived, going door-to-door asking if the residents were Christian or Muslim before abducting the seven Christians, who were aged 17-25.
The very small number of indigenous believers, who are converts from Islam, suffer intense pressure from their families and communities and are severely isolated. Evangelism among Muslims continues to be prohibited in practice.
In 2013, around 50 Egyptian Christians were arrested in the Libyan city of Benghazi on accusations of sharing their faith. They were initially seized by Islamist militants, who shaved their heads and tortured them with beatings and electric shocks. One of them later died in prison. Their church was also attacked twice and their minister beaten up.
Although the Islamist Justice and Construction Party performed only moderately in the first general election in 2012, they have since been gathering support, and they played a decisive role in the selection of Libya's prime minister. Meanwhile, North Africa is now troubled by numerous militias, armed and mobile, who are seeking to seize control of whole areas by military means. A growing Islamist insurgency is threatening Libya's fragile security, and the government appears powerless to dislodge the militants from their strongholds in the east of the country. It has also proved unable to prevent attacks by Islamists on Christians and other minorities.
Libya was once a major seedbed for Islam in Africa, but the Islam that it promoted under Gaddafi was not extreme. However, there are now serious concerns that future political developments will see Islamists gain the ascendancy, leading to even greater oppression of Libya's Christians.

Bleach Manga Returns in Issue 41 (September 9th)
Bleach Manga took a slight break as author, Kubo Tite, took a bit of a break to recharge himself for the upcoming fights. The break was taken from Shonen Jump Issue 35 through to Issue 40. Kubo has prepared for a great return during Issue 41 which will release on the 9th of September (Most likely get translated on the 4th of September). The latest Bleach 547 will launch into the "Sennen Kessen-Hen – Ketsubetsu-tan" final battle, furthermore there will be an amazing colour opening page.
So what do you think about this awesome news, just a few more days till Bleach is back. Can I also mention that when Kubo mentioned that he's ready to draw the fight scenes, by this I presumes that it means that he's a lot further than when it comes to the chapters we read, we still have many other stories and journeys to follow before the final fights begins, which may have already been written. So what do you think about this, tell me by commenting below, let's talk!

Bleach Manga on 6-Weeks Break Before Finale
Kubo Tite's Bleach Manga gets some very disappointing news as the manga is going on a hiatus for 6 weeks. Bleach 546 from Jump Magazine 34 was released this week, from Jump Magazine 35 to 40, there will be no Bleach Manga chapters until Jump 41, which is said to release on the 9th of September!
Kubo Tite writes a message to all fans telling them that Bleach is going on a hiatus from Jump 35 to 40, and beginning again on Jump 41. The reason for this he mentions is that before the last battles and finale, he wants to approach the final battle fully charged to give the final battles his absolute all. He tells all fans to prepares themselves for the final arc, "Thousand Year Blood War" to end with a big bang during the finale.
A small mention to other news sources who are mentioning 5 weeks, Jump 35 to 40 is 6 weeks. I understand that Jump is released weekly and that Bleach will be back on the 41st . I could be wrong, if I am, please do comment telling me.
So what do you think about this horrendous news? Do you guys think it's a good idea for Kubo to prepare for Bleach's final battle, or do you want Kubo to never stop. Personally I understand that there's still many enemies left thus it's most likely to be a large arc.

Bleach back on the 22nd of March 2013?!
Has there already been news of Bleach's come back? Well yes and no, Bleach Anime was cancelled after 366 episodes when Ichigo told Rukia they'll meet again. At that point, many of the fans stated that due to the manga being too close to the anime it had to either play fillers or stop. Well, Bleach stopped but only after a few months, there's already news that Bleach will be coming back on the 22nd of March 2013!
There has been no confirmation of Bleach airing on the 22nd March 2013, except for a special tweet from Kubo Tite's twitter account. As the image on the right shows, it's been translated from Japanese to English, asking Bleach fans how excited they are for Bleach anime's return on the 22nd of March. The translation or tweet has not been confirmed to be true or false, although it seems like a lot of fans are believing this. The TV-Tokyo schedules also doesn't seem to go far enough to show this date, therefore it's still unconfirmed if it is actually going to be back on this date.
So what do you guys think of this? Will Bleach 367 actually be back on the 22nd of March (22/03/2013) or is this just a hoax? Also this air date is the Friday, which isn't the usual Tuesday weekly date for Bleach anime.
UPDATE (22/03/2013): There is no new Bleach Anime Episodes (yet), Tite Kubo confirmed the above tweet being fake. It was in fact a hoax!
The awesome artwork above was drawn by the one and only Touya101. She has a ton of other artwork which you should definitely check out relating to a lot of Bleach fan art.
Bleach Anime will be Back!
It been a few weeks since the great Bleach Anime had been cancelled. Some say that Bleach will be back but others have lost hope on the anime and started reading the manga.
The last aired Bleach 366 episode featured an immense battle between the first and second substitute shinigami's! They fought an amazing battle but ultimately Ichigo regained his Shinigami powers with the help of the captains and Rukia and beat Ginjo. Ichigo had mentions to Rukia that they'll possibly see each other again at a different time.
The show that replaced Bleach, Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seichun Full-Power Ninden, seems to only have a few episode within it with a few manga chapters, which could hint at the fact that it's going to end pretty soon. After its end, Bleach is likely to restart. Personally I want Tite Kubo to take as much time as he needs to use it to perfect all the story plots and fix the plot holes.
Bleach is possibly the second best Anime series, after Naruto, which is still being aired after its 10 year-long run. Therefore it has to come back with an even better story because this is now its Final Arc, The Thousand-Year Blood War!
Tell me what you guys think about this in the comments below, also include when you think Bleach will be back. Here's what happened.
The End of Bleach Anime? Bleach TV Series Cancelled!?
The rumors have been going around for a while now, and it was recently officially stated around a month ago. You may have watched the latest Bleach 366 episode and wondered why it ended the way it did. Well it seems as though the Bleach TV Series has been Cancelled.
None of us know what'll happen after this since it's not yet been confirmed what will happen next. It's been confirmed in many blogs and even the Japanese TV Listings that Bleach is going to be replaced by Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seichun Full-Power Ninden. Bleach usually airs on TV Tokyo at 6:00 PM, but after Bleach is cancelled, this new show will replace it.
Keep in mind that Tite Kubo has tried his best to keep Bleach Anime going and will be going until the Final Arc (The Thousand-Year Blood War) is over. The manga side of Bleach is already being written but the anime has not yet reached the Final Arc. Bleach 366 was the last episode for The Lost Substitute Shinigami Arc and Bleach 367 is suppose to be the start for the Final Arc.
Although the Final Arc is being written in the Manga, I'm sure Tite Kubo will get some good luck and get the Anime back on the main stream. Tell me what you think about this using the comments below.

A Reuters article reported this astonishing statistic: 23 million rides have been taken in US bikeshare systems since 2007 with no reported fatalities.
A meta-analysis published in Housing Policy Debate finds that extensive studies in recent years support positive claims.
Fire officials often push for wider streets so that their biggest trucks can move more swiftly — but the wider streets lead to more deaths and injuries. They do this, supposedly, in the name of safety.
Bad news: Traffic fatalities, cost of living, upward mobility, body mass index, obesity, physical activity, life expectancy, high blood pressure, diabetes.
There are two primary fronts in the healthy communities movement — safety and obesity. A stronger emphasis on safety is more likely to succeed with citizens and public officials.
A report details the mental health consequences for children of spending less time playing on their own. A mom in Texas was arrested for letting her kids play outside. The built environment is partly to blame.
An Upstate New York village defied the Department of Transportation and created a human-scale Main Street, restoring community to a downtrodden downtown.
A new study provides more confirmation that violent and accidental deaths of all kinds are more common in suburban and rural areas. The primary cause: Automobile accidents.
Raquel Nelson pays a jaywalking fine, but the task of making pedestrian-hostile suburbs like Marietta walkable has just begun.
A study of 205 blocks in high-crime areas of Los Angeles suggests that increasing residential zoning in blocks that are otherwise zoned for commercial can reduce crime. The study, published in the February issue of University of Pennsylvania Law Review, finds that city blocks zoned exclusively for residential uses, as well as those zoned for residential and commercial (mixed) uses have less crime than blocks that are zoned solely for commercial use. The research shows that single-use commercially zoned blocks have expected crime rates that are about 45 percent higher than blocks with residential uses mixed in.

|Part of a series on
Sikh practices and discipline
|Five Banis · Five Ks · Five Thieves · Five Virtues · Simran · Sewa · Three pillars · Sikh Rehat Maryada · Amrit Velā
The Ardās (Punjabi: ਅਰਦਾਸ) is a Sikh prayer that is done before performing or after undertaking any significant task; after reciting the morning and evening Banis (prayers),[1][2] at the completion of a service like the Paath (scripture reading/recitation),[3] kirtan (hymn-singing) program or any other religious program.[4] In Sikhism, Ardās may also be said before and after eating. The prayer is a supplication to God to support and help the devotee with whatever he or she is about to undertake or has done.
The Ardās is usually always done standing up with folded hands and is commonly preceded by the eighth stanza of the fourth ashtapadi of the bani Sukhmani, beginning Tu Thakur Tum Peh Ardaas. The beginning of the Ardās is strictly set by the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh and may not be altered or omitted. It appears as the opening passage of Var Sri Bhagauti Ji Ki (see Chandi di Var) and is an invocation to God and reminder of the Sikh Gurus.
What follows is several paragraphs recounting significant events in Sikh history and gratidute for blessings. This may be omitted if reciting a "short ardaas".
Towards the end the devotee can say a personal prayer such as "Waheguru please bless me in the task that I am about to undertake" when starting a new task or "Akal Purakh, having completed the hymn-singing, we ask for your continued blessings so that we can continue with your memory and remember you at all times", etc.
The end of the Ardaas (Nanak Nam Chardi Kala, Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bala, "O Nanak, may the Nam (Holy) be ever in ascendance! in Thy will may the good of all prevail!") is also set and may not be altered or omitted.[5]
The word "Ardās" is derived from Persian word 'Arazdashat', meaning a request, supplication, prayer, petition or an address to a superior authority.
Ardās is a unique prayer based on the fact that it is one of the few well-known prayers in the Sikh religion that was not written in its entirety by the Gurus. The Ardās cannot be found within the pages of the Guru Granth Sahib because it is a continually changing devotional text that has evolved over time in order for it to encompass the feats, accomplishments, and feelings of all generations of Sikhs within its lines. Taking the various derivation of the word Ardās into account, the basic purpose of this prayer is an appeal to Waheguru for his protection and care, as well as being a plea for the welfare and prosperity of all mankind, and a means for the Sikhs to thank Waheguru for all that He has done.
The Ardās is said as a reflection on everything it took for the Divine to create the pure Shabad Guru on earth and to remember all that the Sikh endured to protect it and ensure it landed in the hands of the future generation. It encompasses many Sikh and Humanistic values, such as peace and understanding, as well as faith and perseverance.

KKK flier left at family's Orange County home

A Ku Klux Klan flier was placed on the doorstep of an African-American family's Orange County home, and the Sheriff's Office says it's treating the incident as a threat.
The family found the flyer outside their home in the Cypress Lakes area off Chuluota Road, north of State Road 50 near Bithlo.
The flier said that white people will become a minority race in the coming years.
The family says they're scared because they were the only ones targeted in the area by the group, which is called the Fort Christmas Knights KKK.

Anybody think this is possible? Or is it a case of waiting for Google to add features to CSE?

We are all aware that females are prone to getting yeast infections, but what about the male, can they too get yeast infections? Unfortunately the answer is a definite yes, after all it is a fungus, and we all can get fungus. Fungal infections are referred to as mycosis in the medical world, though to us they are merely fungal infections. For instance if you've ever had a case of athlete's foot, that was caused by a fungal infection. Most men have had at least one case of jock itch. This too is caused by fungus, and most people are totally unaware that even ringworm is actually a fungal infection.
How It Happens
Granted if your female sexual partner has a yeast infection, there is an off chance that you too can get a male yeast infection, however documentation on that is somewhat rare. Keep in mind though that it can happen. Thus, the way that it is transmitted may be as follows:
- Unprotected sex with a female who also has a yeast infection
- Male having a compromised immune system that may be caused by:
- The male has AIDS
- The male has been on a lengthy course of antibiotics for a medical reason other than this infection. Unfortunately the antibiotics have killed off the "good" bacteria found in the urinary canal, and now other bacteria have taken over. What happens is the normal balance of the standard microorganisms becomes out of balance
- The male may be a diabetic, which is the most common reason for a male to contract a male yeast infection. Diabetics create sugar, which spills over into their urine. Said sugar is a tremendous meal for yeast, thus a diabetic male may have a succession of such infections due to having uncontrolled sugars.
- The male has cancer or is under treatments for cancer via chemotherapy which also compromises the immune system
- The male is a transplant recipient and thus may have a compromised immune system
- The male has mononucleosis
- The male may be on prescribed or non-prescribed steroids
- The male may drink a lot of alcohol or beer and may be sexually disfunctioning
What Are The Male Yeast Infection Symptoms ?
The symptoms and signs of a male yeast infection are actually quite unpleasant, may be referred to as balanitis, which means that you have an inflammation of your glans penis. It is referred to as balanoposthitis if you have swelling going on as well on your foreskin, and would be evidenced by any or all of the following:
- A reddish rash along the opening of the penis
- Burning on the tip of your penis, which can cause tremendous irritation and soreness
- Itching on the tip of your penis, which also may cause tremendous irritation and soreness
- A discharge of what is described as clumpy and/or whitish or whitish gray in color
- Intense scratching can and will cause blisters on the head of the penis as well
- Foreskin rash, itching and burning may also occur
- Extreme pain may be felt upon getting an erection if the opening area of the penis is suffering from cracked skin
Although the symptoms are actually quite common and can easily lead to a diagnosis, there are some males who actually have a genital yeast infection, but luckily enough may well show absolutely no symptoms. If however, you find that you are experiencing a tremendous amount of female yeast infections in your regular female partner, there is a chance that you are the cause, and you are reinfecting her each time you have unprotected sex.
Male Yeast Infection Treatment
Often the male is told to use the same treatment as the female, and that is an over the counter medication by the name of a vaginal cream known as Monistat. Chances are that your female partner will be very knowledgeable about this treatment. The topical unguent comes in a small tube and you should release enough to cover the head of your penis, as well as introduce a microscopic amount in the penile opening. Chances are that this will take care of the problem rather quickly, and it will ease the burning and itching almost immediately. The discharge may take a bit longer to stop.
Male Yeast Infection Cure
Should the Monistat not work, your next best bet is to see a Doctor, as the possibility of the need for antimycotics is possible. These are antifungal drugs. At this point the treatment for male yeast infection is for the Doctor to probably prescribe one of the following prescriptions:
- Diflucan whose generic name is fluconazole is primarily prescribed. Actually this medicine is often utilized for a broad spectrum, of fungi. Therefore if you have other fungi, it will also negate those. Bear in mind that you need to read the paperwork carefully, as it is not uncommon for some to suffer allergies to this prescription medicine. On the positive side, it usually only needs to be administered once, via a pill.
- Nizoral whose generic name is ketaconazole is apparently prescribed if the Diflucan does not work. This is truly a very broad-spectrum medicine and needs to be utilized with extreme caution.

Just found out that an indie Pokemon game in the works based on Prof Oak's life before all the other games. I'm actually pretty excited for this!
In case you don't want to sign into facebook (or don't have one), here's a snippet from the info:
Take control as a young Samuel Oak or Agatha as they make their journey through Kanto for the first time. Travel through familiar, and not so familiar, areas and learn about the history of Kanto and its inhabitents. Who came before Giovanni? Where did Voltorb come from? How did Agatha and Oak go their separate ways? What was before the Pokédex?
Pokémon Generation 0 is NOT a rom-hack. This game is made through the RPG Maker XP program, and will be a standalone executable. It includes all original music and artwork for the menus and characters (aside from the generic ones, of course).
Discuss, and please tell me if you find any news regarding it!

Hi Terri , love the solitude of the image, but finding the horizon crooked, but then i guess if it was straightened the lighthouse would look a bit squiffey ? Just a beautiful image, it looks like the water is so clear on t he lower right thatyou can see down into it,. lovely.
Thanks Tempe! I know the horizon is a bit crooked, the way the sun was shining on the water, I think it actually blocked out the blue water a bit along the horizon line… not sure. Yes, if I tried to correc that, then we would have a leaning lighthouse, LOL! go figure. Thanks for your input!!! Have a great day :)

Thanks for the responses. I already had my own ideas of how I would react, but its nice to hear other opinions. The thing that gave me the idea for this topic was the other topic called: "I don't need to know self defense, I have a gun." Of course I don't agree that a gun is the only defense. I'm not sure why so many commented: "I haven't been in a fight since 7th, 9th, 12th grade." ?For the record, I haven't been in a fight since 8th grade. I don't see why that is relevant here? I think we all try to be "mellow" and avoid confrontations. You have to be when carrying. I'm talking about those aggressors that we all know are out there. It only takes one to start a fight. ("it takes 2" is a lie) I had a total stranger walk up to me in the mall and punch me for no reason. I walked away, but some people will corner you and force a fight. I always try to retreat first if possible. Worse case scenario, if I was cornered/outnumbered in a secluded area I might be forced to draw just to be able to retreat.
I am a big fan of the (hands up) "hey man...I don't want no trouble" followed by a quick non telegraphed jab to face when necessary. Some call it preemptive SD. This of course is preceeded by the "I'm sorry, excuse me" (walk away). If they choose to follow that's on them.
A swift kick in the nuts will piss your attacker off way before it hurts him. Try to keep this in mind "put something hard in something soft" aka finger in eye or key in eye, fist in throat.
Blading and practicing support side techniques is something to work on when training. Personally my lead leg front push kick or lead side verticle punch is a favorite type of technique in that situation.
Look at Bruce Lee and some JKD. From what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong. JKD practicioners put the strong side forward, however with a gun that isn't a good idea, BUT the techniques are very effective, practice them the support side and you have a good start.
"Put on the whole armor of God..."
"Never pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to take the ass-kicking, he'll just shoot you."
An enemy of liberty is no friend of mine. I do not owe respect to anyone who would enslave me by government force, nor is it wise for such a person to expect it. -- Isaiah Amberay
Do force on force training and work it out.
This isn't rocket science. This isn't exotic or difficult.
This is hours of work with a partner, some safety gear and a blue/red gun or an airsoft weapon - and the acceptance that your current plan may not work, and you will have to learn, adapt and maybe completely abandon things that don't produce results.

A punch can cause death and serious injury. Retreat, If you can't draw and warn, then defend yourself.

The "REAL" world truth is that most SD situations will at least require some HtH; even if it's only to deflect the initial attack long enough for you to grab your gun.
A BG can easily cover 20-25 feet before you can get out your gun and fire.
Most BG's are NOT going to let you see a weapon until they are within the "effective" range needed to use it.
So (at the very least), "some" Hth training is a VERY good idea.

Tommy Jacoby
Tommy began his career installing PV systems in 2003 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Prior to entering the industry, he received a B.S. from the University of California, Berkeley in Environmental Economics and Policy. An SEI alumni, and NABCEP™ certified PV installer, Tommy has extensive experience designing, installing, and servicing PV systems for both residential and commercial applications. Tommy serves as an SEI instructor from Austin, Texas, where he provides PV system design and consultation services, as well as, third-party inspection, testing, and commissioning. Supporting the deployment of PV to empower communities throughout the developing world is one of his personal goals. When he is not working, he enjoys fly-fishing, kayaking, canoeing, travelling, cycling, gardening, and spending time with his family and friends. He is well-versed in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, and is fortunate to have travelled and volunteered throughout several remote regions of South America.
