Beet and Goat Cheese CrostiniAuthor: swampkitty05 // Category: Food Porn, Produce, Recipes
It's hard to believe that just a couple years ago I absolutely hated beets. Couldn't even stand the smell of them, as a matter of fact. These days? I can't get enough.
My favorite way to eat them lately? Crostini spread with a bit of Lucky Penny goat cheese, with sliced roasted baby red beets, topped with some lightly dressed arugula from my garden, and then finished with some balsamic glaze. Definitely craveworthy!

Apple Maps works better offline than Google Maps
We've tested and it's true, you'll find Apple Maps a bit more useful than Google Maps when you can't get data
By Karen Haslam | Macworld UK | Published: 12:43, 08 October 2012
More reports are appearing claiming that Apple's Maps has features that make it superior to Google's Maps on iOS 6.
Yesterday we looked into whether it is true that Apple's Maps are less of a data hog than Google's Maps. Today we are testing the claim that Apple Maps stores more data for use when you are offline, a handy feature if you are traveling abroad and don't want to use up your data allowance.
We compared maps of Saint Malo in France, loaded up in an iPhone 4S running iOS 5 and the iPhone 5.
Related Articles on Techworld
There are definitely differences in the amount of data stored. For example, when we studied the Apple Maps version we could see restaurant, bar and hotel information, Google Maps showed hotels, but little else. (It should be noted that Google had more hotel information than Apple, but then given the lack of specific information in Apple Maps, that is no surprise right now).
Of course the important bit is road names. The Google Maps version showed key road names, but lots of empty roads, while the Apple Maps version showed all the road names if you zoomed in on the picture.
In neither case could we search for road names or routes when the WIFi was off. However, with a bit of preparation, you can drop pins on the locations you plan to visit.
What really surprised us about Apple Maps was that when we switched to Satellite view, the Satellite maps loaded, even in Airplane mode. This doesn't happen in Google Maps.

Spice Tour Definitely fun and interesting. We had a day of intermittent rain and it was good to get umbrellas (provided by the tour co.) and plodge around in the rain looking at vanilla, ginger, cardomom, cloves, etc all growing in a mixed forest as well as looking at and sampling lots of fruits. Add visits to the Slave Caves and discussing the history of E African slavery, a visit to a deserted beach where we swam in the rain and a fascinating tour of a sultan's bath and coffee house as well as veggy and spicy lunch in the village and freindly teenagers..

Cathedral windows is a stunning pattern, that really looks great with all sorts of a variety of scraps. It is done entirely by hand, so it does take a certain amount of patience, but it's worth it! Personally, I find hand sewing to be very relaxing, so I'll work on it a bit here and there, when I need a break from other projects.
Step 1: Supplies
- Solid cotton material (which will vary depending on the size and scope of your project... keep in mind that a 7" square of this fabric will amount to about 3" of quilt)
- A variety of 2" squares
- Ruler
- Fabric shears
- Hand sewing thread
- Hand sewing needle
- Pins
- Iron
Step 2: Cut your Squares
This part is super easy.
With your solid fabric, (in my case, muslin) cut a square that is 7". How many squares you cut is entirely up to you and the size project you are working on. I tend to cut a handful at a time, since it'd all come from the same bolt of muslin anyway, and since I'm not entirely sure what these blocks will turn into eventually.
Also cut 2" squares of your bright prints, in a variety. Use scraps from other projects and mix it up a bit! Or better yet, this would look lovely as a memory quilt, using old cut up clothing!
Step 3: Press Over Edges
With each 7" square, you need to turn over each edge 1/4" and press neatly. Do your best to make it an even 1/4", since this step could effect the final size of each square.
I am working on a cathedral quilt my mom, 85, started and my stitches seem uneven. Do you have any advice? Thanks
I love the buttons you put on the back... May have to use that idea!

The World Social Forum - Free Palestine (WSF-FP) convened in Porto Alegre, Brazil, at the end of November on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, a UN-recognized day that commemorates the 1947 partition of Palestine by the UN - and the occupation, dispossession and injustice that has ensued ever since. Emerging from the growing centrality of Palestine solidarity in international justice movements, as well as the active participation of Palestinians and their allies in the World Social Forum process for over a decade, the forum aimed to bring together global Palestine solidarity initiatives and broader social movements in an international gathering that would simultaneously highlight the role of the global South in solidarity with the Palestinian national liberation movement.
Over 125 workshops took place at the forum, directed at the wide spectrum of Palestine solidarity activities: labor and Palestine; boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaigns; the struggles of Palestinian political prisoners; Palestinian women's organizing; solidarity with Palestinian fishers and farmers; the growing queer anti-pinkwashing movement; the role of solidarity; refugees' right of return; and challenges facing the Palestinian Diaspora.

Mesaba Airlines pilots
have filed a lawsuit against their employer for the mishandling of
contributions to their individual 401(k) retirement plans.
According to documents filed with U.S. District court in
Minneapolis today, the pilots allege Mesaba withheld money from
their paychecks that was earmarked for their 401(k)s, but never
actually deposited the money into the pilots' retirement
"Mesaba has been deducting money from our paychecks that was
supposed to go into our 401(k) accounts, but instead they've kept
the money in the company's coffers," said Kris Pierson, Mesaba
pilot and ALPA spokesman.
In addition, the lawsuit alleges that Mesaba failed to make all
of the matching contributions required under the plan, made certain
other contributions outside of the legal time limits, and did not
promptly rectify these errors which date back to at least 1996.
According to the
lawsuit, Mesaba's failure to identify and promptly fix the
irregularities constitutes a breach of its fiduciary duties. The
court filing alleges that "Mesaba knew or should have known" of its
errors since under federal law Mesaba is required to engage an
independent qualified public accountant to audit the plan. Mesaba
is also required to publish an annual report of the Plan that
includes a financial statement of the assets and liabilities of the
The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), the union
that represents Mesaba's pilots, learned of the funding shortfalls
in late September. ALPA initially believed that the retirement plan
problems could be resolved without resorting to litigation.
"Management has flatly refused to disclose even the government
filings related to this matter. Without any supporting data, our
pilots can not be assured that a full remedy will be provided,"
stated Pierson. "Moreover, we have reason to believe the funding
shortfalls affect most of Mesaba's pilots and many other Mesaba
employees. In some cases, pilots are owed several thousand
dollars." Mesaba had promised employees that it would pay at least
some of the monies owed by November 30, 2003, but it missed its own
The lawsuit filing comes just days before a possible strike by
Mesaba pilots. Contract talks were declared to be at impasse by the
National Mediation Board earlier this month, setting a
contract-or-strike deadline of January 9, 2004 at 11:01 p.m.
Retirement benefits are a sticking point in contract
negotiations for the Mesaba pilots who retire with 25-30 percent
less in their retirement than pilots at similar regional airlines.
That issue is compounded by the union's concern that Mesaba pilots
have been further disadvantaged by the contribution irregularities.
"We filed the lawsuit because we need to be certain that our pilots
will get back the money that they are entitled to -- and that they
will need when they retire," said Pierson. Half of Mesaba's 844
pilots earn less than $32,500, with starting pay less than
Mesaba Aviation, Inc.,
a subsidiary company of MAIR Holdings, Inc. issued the following
statement from its president and chief operating officer John
Spanjers today, concerning the lawsuit filed by ALPA:
"Mesaba Airlines regrets the errors that occurred in certain
employees' 401(k) accounts, and we have disclosed these errors to
the IRS and the Department of Labor. We also have communicated to

Recently by Brian Wilson: Media and Politicians Firing Blanks
Over the eons, many pithy thoughts and things have been scribbled, typed, chiseled and pounded about Truth, Revelation, Epiphany. Sliding down the razor blade of life, each of us has likely had a few of our own — but one Genuine True Revealing Epiphany may have zipped right past you before you had a chance to be appropriately dazzled and incorporate it into your collection of snappy come-backs and other rhetoric.
Maybe I can be of assistance before the News Cycle seals it in the achieves.
So waaay back in last month, outgoing (retiring, not gregarious) Sec o State Hillary Whitewater Clinton, gave her much anticipated testostermony [sick][sic][sic] to the Senate Foreign Relations Kabuki concerning the Debacle Formerly Known as "Benghazi" along with the the facts that the administration attributed the attack to Muslim reaction to a video no one had seen and that the administration held to that story for almost 15 days. While the brazen vacuity of her "answers" in response to stupendously unprepared Stupid Party Members' questions was worthy of eyebrows arched to Charlie-horse proportions, it was then The Moment may have gotten passed you — or, at the very least, the enormity of its implications: SoS (a fitting acronym) Clinton, in full bluster responding to the impertinent questioning of Sen. Ron Johnson (Redundant-Never-Never Land), bellowed the perfect expectoration "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?"
So there you have it: One (1) USDA Choice True Revelation Epiphany in one moderately unbecoming, undiplomatic belch. And while the repulsiveness of that conceited flatulence is now recorded for all personkind, its' horrible stench, with an encompassing efficaciousness that boggles the senses of mere mortals, has not received the notoriety it so richly deserves.
For if we really wish to drain all the significance from the dregs of this socialist gasbag, we need to appreciate the multiple uses this simple, eloquent and pseudo-exasperated question actually answers — in a rhetorical sort of way.
For example, take the fog fest over the current attacks on the 2nd Amendment. Please. Sadly, both sides haven't come up with any really cool bumper sticker catch phrases since u2018From My Cold Dead Fingers". But now, the race is on to see which side can appropriate unto themselves the check-mating TRE (True Revelation Epiphany): WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
See how simple? No more dithering over the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Who needs Uncle or Aunty Federalist anyway? We have our answer to every past, present and future poll, stat, fact, historical account and law — even the colorful Graph Brothers (Bar and Pie): WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
You say: Big Dilly! What else ya got?
Thanks for axing.
How about the Stupid Economy? We most certainly have a Spending/Revenue Problem. But WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? Are the Brainiacs inside the Logic Free Zone going to actually do something after 30+ years of saying they're going to do something? Riddle me that one, TurboTax Man.
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the "entitlements" — all out of control; "unsustainable", they say. All now forecast to be running on empty long before we were promised the Promised Land. Accountability may be worse than jock itch — but "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?"
To fully appreciate the One Phrase Fits All applicability on other formerly pressing issues, ask yourself: Whatever happened to any final incriminating conclusions re Eric Holder's "Fast & Furious" scandal? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
Heard anything about Maj. Nidal Hisan's Workplace Abuse trial-stopping beard lately? It's been over 3 years, ya know? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
The toxicology autopsy report on psychotropic drugs Newtown executioner Adam Lanza was popping 12/14/12? Go ahead: WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT…….
I think you've got the hang of it now.
See what a remarkable contribution the Smartest Woman in the World (1993-2001) contributed to us, The Great Unwashed? Inside the LFZ (see above), our Washington leaders pretty much always take full responsibility for whatever has gone wrong (NB: Except the President. In that case, it's all Bush's fault). And why not? There are no consequences. No one resigns or loses their cushy Federal gig. So it means nothing to say it. Standing on their two hind feet and braying "I take full responsibility" actually works out to absolving anyone from taking actual responsibility.
Maybe the new SoS John "Make Mine Heinz" Kerry, won't have to endure similar pesky questions from uppity Senators, Congressmen, Blow-Dry Media, even the More or Less Miserables among us who might be inclined to ask out of concern for what shreds may be left of the Rule of Law.
Accountability. Responsibility. Capability. Culpability. Oh, sorry — these words have no applicability here. I'm merely posting them for you to get one final look at them before Winston Smith does his thing.
Attention spans being what they are these days (see Attention Deficit Democracy, James Bovard) and considering the LRC Word Count Police, let's take the bull by the tail and facing our future squarely: remember to use, appreciate and take comfort in that New All-Purpose, Fast-Acting, Poly-Unsaturated, One-Size-Fits-All Cure-All for the Common Empire — say it with me now: WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
Feel better?
BTW and FYI: that u2018anti-Islam' Youtube video maker who was blamed for starting all this? He's still moldering in some California jail in lieu of SoS and POTUS.
Brian Wilson [send him mail], nationally ignored talk show host and occasional LRC un-indicted co-contributor, is currently taking a break from his daily annoyance of miniscule audiences and concentrating his efforts on the Libertas Media Project, a multi-media Internet news distribution and discussion center from his technically challenged studios on the shores of Smith Mountan Lake, Virginia.

Lieutenant Governor Murray highlights local partnership in advance of annual Regionalization Conference
The South Shore Regional Emergency Communications Center project, expected to be complete in October, will combine four separate 911 emergency call centers. Once complete, the communications center will service Cohasset, Hingham, Hull and Norwell, and will be the first operational 911 regional center that has received Development Grant funding from the State 911 Department.
"As our economy continues to recover, regionalization should be considered a best practice to make the most efficient use of resources," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "Our Administration continues to promote regionalization as we provide cities and towns the tools they need to respond to their residents in crisis."
"This project is a prime example of the improvements we fully expected to realize from our Administration's overhaul of the public safety emergency response system," said Public Safety Secretary Mary Beth Heffernan. "We expect, as we continue to promote regionalization, it will prove itself to be an effective and efficient model for the future of 911 services in the Commonwealth."
"At a time when cities and towns face an ongoing challenge to provide publicly funded services, this new dispatch center will allow the towns of Hingham, Hull, Cohasset and Norwell to save a significant amount of money each year," said Representative Bradley. "In addition to the cost savings, these communities will benefit from more efficient and enhanced public safety."
The Hingham project received $5.3 million in State 911 Department Development Grant funding to build and equip the facility. There are currently 29 other projects underway across the State that have received a total of $27,281,494 in Development Grant funding.
Grant funding was first announced in 2008 when Governor Patrick signed a law establishing the State 911 Department and creating grant programs to pay for enhanced training, upgrading equipment, supporting 911 call centers and creating incentives to regionalize 911 operations. Under both federal and state law these funds can only be used to support the 911 system. Since inception, the grant programs have provided $99.4 million to the 911 call centers across the Commonwealth.
The Lieutenant Governor's visit advances the Third Annual Regionalization Toolkit Conference on the Holy Cross Campus in Worcester Thursday, September 1, 2011.

Wiesz goes for 50 at Toller race
Spectacular 360 field at MRP Sat
Bob Burbach
Marysville CA - October 5, 2011
3-time MRP Champion Winged Sprint Car driver Colby Wiesz will try for that illusive 50th victory during the Sherm Toller Memorial Race Saturday at Paul and Kathy Hawes Marysville Raceway Park. Wiesz will join some 40 other drivers in a 30-lap assault on the MRP clay in the final winged sprint car race of the 2011 season.
The race is a celebration of the life and a tribute to Sherm Toller, a long time associate of Marysville Raceway Park who worked feverishly on behalf of the raceway. He was the MRP infield voice for more than a decade.
Wiesz is a 3-time champion at MRP and a 6-time winner of the prestigious Mel Hall Memorial race. Wiesz will have some tough company at this classic event. With no other 360 events scheduled the field is will be packed with winged sprint car stars. While some may be bent on preventing Wiesz from grabbing #50, its likely that most will be there to scoop up their share of the generous purse. The $2000 to win plus contingencies is included in one of the highest payouts of the year at MRP. As an extra bonus, MRP is waiving all entry fees. There is a $45 pit pass.
Toller was a resident of Grass Valley. The winner of the 1st Sherm Toller Memorial Race Jeremy Burt is from Grass Valley and will be there to defend his title. MRPs 2011 champion Billy Wallace is also from Grass Valley. Is there anything to it? Who knows. With no points on the line all the gloves are off. The 2011 Sherm Toller Memorial will be one to remember.
The Wingless Warrior Sprint Cars with a nice fat $1000 to win purse will also be on the program as well as the Pro 4 Sprinters. It will be the final open wheel race of the 2011 season.
(please see attached poster) See you Saturday!
IMPORTANT: 2011 minor releases must be signed by parents for all minors entering the pits.
Note: Please make this observer aware of any names that are misspelled or incorrect. The text is based on information we have at the time of its release.

Post-Partum PracticePre/Post Natal | By Stephanie Snyder on Jun 17 2012
Congrats! You did it and you deserve a medal! This sequence is designed for your first practice after giving birth (at least 6-8 weeks post partum). I just had my second child and this is the practice that helped ease me back into the world. We very simply address the tight low back, stiff shoulders, cranky psoas and even sense of overwhelm that come with all the goodness of early motherhood.
- Janneke Bahamon Nov 12th, 2014Thank you so much. That was exactly what I needed. I feel so much better after this practice.
- Eileen Vincett Nov 8th, 2014Huge thank you from London. The first few weeks if motherhood have been completely overwhelming and this practice was just what I needed. I took your classes all thru my pregnancy and I knew your postnatal instruction would be just as good. Thank you for the encouragement....nice to know it will slow down and I'm not alone :).
- faye Mcneil Oct 16th, 2014my second son is now 8 months old (my first is 2 and 1/2 years) and this is still the class i come back to time and time again. What i love about it is not just the movement but what you are saying. When it's been a loooooooooong day it gives me comfort to know other people have long days too. but it's also very affirming. THANK YOU x
- Wendi Pickering Sep 13th, 2014Thank you ☺
I loved all the pre natel yoga I did and am really appreciating the time I manage to do any yoga now. Really grateful for these online classes.
- Damiana Thompson Sep 8th, 2014Thank you for posting this class! It felt incredibly luscious to be doing yoga again. I'm eight weeks postpartum and thankful to be on the mat again. I'm looking forward to any other classes that you could post similar to this one!!
- stephanie snyder Sep 8th, 2014Good for you! Stick with it :) and congrats! XO.
- Jenn O'Connell Aug 31st, 2014Six weeks out from the birth of my first, and this class was AMAZING. I cannot believe how much I have missed yoga in the last six weeks. I needed this! Thank you so much for all your amazing pre- and post-natal classes. I'm looking forward to doing more. And soon!
- stephanie snyder Sep 8th, 2014Wonderful - way to go!
- Marisa Narog Aug 21st, 2014First class after having baby number 3 and I cannot thank you enough. I feel restored and ready to take on the day. :)
- stephanie snyder Aug 21st, 2014Good for you! Baby 3 is more like baby 13 I hear :) Hang in there and take it easy!
- Beth Taylor Aug 8th, 2014First practice back after having my second child and I feel so grateful for your classes and your kind words. What you said in savasana about giving yourself permission to feel overwhelmed brought tears to my eyes and a great feeling of calm. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
- stephanie snyder Aug 9th, 2014Hey Beth-
Thank you for your heartfelt words, they land with great appreciation! Have you heard the saying one baby is 1 and 2 is 10? So true :) Hang in there!
- Candice Handrick Jul 26th, 2014Thank you so much Stephanie for all your pre-natal classes. I just had my fourth baby and still feel strong. Just did first post-natal and loved it, your classes are keeping me sane in the mist of a new baby and 3 lovely children all at home on holiday.
- stephanie snyder Jul 27th, 2014O my, 4! Bless you, I bow to you :) And I couldn't be happier to help.
- Amy Stitely Jul 21st, 2014My VERY first yoga class 8 weeks since c-section. Perfect words of encouragement and nice gentle pacing. Thank you so much!
- stephanie snyder Jul 27th, 2014Good for you Amy. Im glad to hear you are back to your practice!
- Margaret Zimmermann Jul 13th, 2014This is my first week back doing some yoga, loved the class! My chest and upper back say thank you!
- stephanie snyder Jul 27th, 2014Great!
- Blythe Duffield Jun 16th, 2014Stephanie, you are a god send! Thank you so much for creating these amazing classes. It's actually enabling me to get a little peace and yoga time in the midst of newborn and toddler madness.
- stephanie snyder Jul 27th, 2014I know, the first few months are intense! Hang in there and stay close to your practice :)
- Lia Pinelli May 6th, 2014I LOVE this class. Stephanie's words of affirmation and encouragement at the end were exactly what I needed to hear... I feel restored. Thank you, Stephanie.
- Rachel Dane May 2nd, 2014Dear Stephanie,
Your classes totally buoy me during these hectic first months--thank you!
With gratitude,
- Sarah O'Brien Jan 16th, 2014Thank you, thank you, thank you!
- stephanie snyder Jan 16th, 2014Happy to help!
- Sara Gilson Jan 11th, 2014First yoga class after baby! Thanks for your kind words of encouragement ;)
- stephanie snyder Jan 11th, 2014Congrats!
- nicola t Dec 24th, 2013hi stephanie,
thankyou for your prenatal classes...loved it.
do you have any classes suitable for earlier post partum? like one week after!!?...very gentle stretches??
i have a coccyx injury and cannot sit or lay on my back...so also have sore hips from side lying...
- stephanie snyder Jan 11th, 2014Hi Nicola- The best thing for the first couple of weeks is rest whenever you can! Your body has been stretched to the max and really is trying to come back together. I hope you are feeling better by now! Sending love-XO
- kate motley Oct 12th, 2013Stephanie, like so many others here, I am so grateful for having done this class. I've been longing to get back into my practice and this is such a restorative, honoring, healing, encouraging class--I've shared on facebook for all of my friends how helpful yogaglo is! Thank you for dedicating your energy to classes for us mamas--God bless you and your sweet ones!
- stephanie snyder Oct 13th, 2013Kate thank you for your heartfelt words! I love connecting with other mothers - especially through yoga. Bless you too :)
- Genevieve Braun Sep 16th, 2013I am loving this! 6 weeks post partum with 3rd baby. I have clearance from doctor to resume exercise but it's always intimidating to know where to begin again and I'm a pretty cautious person so it puts my mind at ease to know that I am not overdoing it. Love this gentle but still challenging welcome back. And it helps sooo much to receive the training from someone who is familiar with what your body needs based on your current life circumstance. What I would like to know is if you could suggest an order to the post-natal routines. When to move on past this one, and which would be best to move to next etc.
- stephanie snyder Oct 13th, 2013Hey G
You can do this class as long as it feels good! The other postnatal classes can be taken in any order you like.
- Sally Werner Aug 27th, 2013Hi Stephanie - I am almost 8 weeks post c-section Birth and am dying to restart the daily practice I started with you prenatal via Yogaglo. I was just wondering if there are any modifications/precautions/extra support I should be considering around my incision scar/abdomen etc......Thank you so much for all that you do :)
- stephanie snyder Sep 12th, 2013Hi Sally. You should definitely consult your OB for answers to those questions. Congrats to you!
- Tracie Snyder Aug 15th, 2013Hi Stephanie- I'm an LA native living in Berlin...your prenatal classes got me through my pregnancy and I was so happy to start with the post natal today. Just wanted to say THANK YOU for the wonderful classes and for the genuine words of support and encouragement. I have to admit, you've made me teary eyed a few times (blame it on the hormones!). All the best xx
- stephanie snyder Aug 15th, 2013Yes those hormones! Thank you for your kind words, its an honor to help in anyway. XO.
- Jo Braid Jun 17th, 2013Wonderful class Stephanie. Many thanks. My second son is 6 weeks today and I've been hankering to get back on the mat. He joined me for the second half and we both loved it! 30 mins of recharge. I know I'll be coming back to this practice again. Loved your prenatal classes too and had another great birth. Namaste
- stephanie snyder Jun 17th, 2013Hey Jo- Congrats and welcome back to your practice! Remember to take it slowly at first. Im loving that your son joined you for the second half!
Lots of Love-
- Claire Pennline Jun 11th, 2013Stephanie I just completed my first Yoga session post partum and I am so extremely grateful for how good I feel and how supportive you are throughout. I highly recommend this to any new Mum who can sneak away for 30 minutes.
- stephanie snyder Jun 11th, 2013Wonderful Claire- Im so glad you got 30 minutes to yourself!
- Leigh Marsden May 29th, 2013Dear Stephanie, My comments are very similar to those below - I did your prenatal sessions every day all the way up to the day of my second daughter's birth 7 weeks ago. The pregnancy and birth were so different to my first in a very positive way, thanks to your classes. And wow, it is SO good to be back! Thank you so much :)
- stephanie snyder Jun 2nd, 2013Welcome back! That is great news and congrats. 7 weeks, that is so wonderful. Take your time getting back into the swing :) Lots of Love-Steph
- Anona Taylor Apr 25th, 2013Thank you Stephanie! I did your prenatal classes every day right up to the day before my baby girl was born 6.5 weeks ago and they kept me in excellent shape - both physically and mentally. I am sure my level of fitness helped me get through the birth - 24 hours without pain relief! I had no idea how long the recovery process would take but have been so looking forward to feeling well enough to get back into my yoga. Started yesterday with this class and it was amazing! Just challenging enough without being exhausting and also stretched out all of my sore spots from feeding and carrying my little angel around :) I absolutely love your classes and recommend them to all of my friends. Thank you for getting me through my pregnancy and for helping me ease back into the world post birth! Xx
- stephanie snyder Apr 30th, 2013Wow, CONGRATS Anona!!!! 24 hours and no drugs, you are amazing, I bow to you! Great job. So happy to hear that the prenatal classes were so helpful, that makes my day. Im also so happy to hear that this class has relieved some of your post natal discomfort. Sending love to you and your family.
- Claire Despine Apr 17th, 2013Goooood, I feel good... I should have started with this practice instead of more challenging ones (I don't know why, I did not see it) that were making me feel more overwhelmed. Yes, I am tired, I feel overwhelmed and emotional and this gentle practice is helping, thank you!
- stephanie snyder Apr 17th, 2013Hey Claire-
Yes it is all of the above! Not easy, but great (mostly)- :)
Hang in there, it gets easier and know that you are doing a GREAT job.
Sending Love and Fortitude-
- Mary Mehl Apr 11th, 2013Thank You Stephanie! I'm four months post partum and although I have moved on to more rigorous practices, this was so uplifting and supportive and encouraging. It was so nice to hear her mention breastfeeding more than once and to show much love and support to the new mamas. This was just awesome and I plan to do this one over and over as a light wake up practice.
- stephanie snyder Apr 17th, 2013Lovely, thanks Mary!
- Kristin Baker Dec 31st, 2012Stephanie your encouraging words and restorative techniques are so appreciated. I got frustrated with yoga during pregnancy and quit doing it for the most part but this really set the tone for me getting back to the mat and made me realize how much I miss it! Thank you!
- stephanie snyder Dec 31st, 2012Hey Kristin- Love to hear that you are back to yoga. Its good for us Moms and our families :) The practice takes care of us so that we can take care of our babies.
- Sally Upton Sep 10th, 2012well that was an interesting practice. My almost 3 year old 'helped' me do my yoga. That included crawling under, climbing over and a bit of pulling on arms and legs. Despite the additional 'help', I still really benefitted... namaste :)
- stephanie snyder Sep 10th, 2012HA! Ive had that same practice :) lots of love.
- Laura Miller Sep 4th, 2012Thank you for this wonderful video! It was my first proper exercise after being cleared by my OB for light exercise earlier today. I am very glad that this was the session I chose. After having a C section it was the right way to stretch things out. Namaste.
- stephanie snyder Oct 12th, 2012Namaste Laura and congrats! Enjoy these days so much!
- Cheryl Parsons Aug 26th, 2012Thank you Stephanie! As a first time mum to a 4.9kg girl, I didn't realise what the birth etc would take out of my body and how important it is to give yourself time to get back into things slowly. I am a yoga teacher myself, and it has taken a lot of acceptance of my body, that maybe things aren't as strong or open as they were before in my practice, but that slowly I will get back to form. Your words really hit the spot for me today xxx
- stephanie snyder Sep 10th, 2012Hey Cheryl- It all comes back with time, enjoy these moments :) Thanks for your comments, good for all of us.
- lotus yoga Aug 25th, 2012I love you Stephanie! There is so much compassion in your teaching, I always feel completely safe and supported. No matter what is going on in my life i can always come to you and get exactly what I need. Namaste!
- stephanie snyder Oct 12th, 2012Lotus Yoga, thank you for your comment, its a total pleasure and big treat to get to reach out in cyberspace and connect. Nama!
- Lucy Leslie Aug 15th, 2012My first practice since having twins: 30 mins ended up being 50 because of screen freezing - so frustrating!
Otherwise, nice to be back on the mat. Thanks SS. x
- stephanie snyder Aug 15th, 2012Hey Lucy- Congrats! Wow, twins- good job. Im glad you were able to resolve streaming issues, I know how precious time is :) Lots of Love to you...
- YogaGlo Aug 15th, 2012Lucy - we just emailed you some tips to help with the streaming.
- Lucy Leslie Aug 15th, 2012Thank you very much Derik, I had a feeling there was probably something I could do to make it better but didn't know what.
Have had a lovely day because of this practice all the same - thank you YogaGlo. xx
- Sally Upton Aug 4th, 2012First time back on the mat since mid pregnancy and after a very hard birth and many additional health issues in the past 6 weeks this class has just given me wings again. Thankyou Namaste.
- stephanie snyder Aug 4th, 2012Enjoy the wings- sending love and the knowing mama nod :)
- Claire Claire Jul 3rd, 2012First time back on the mat at 10 weeks postpartum and this was just perfect. Thank you as always Stephanie - you have such great insight for what a momma's body needs :)
- Tom Tom Jun 29th, 2012I'm 10 weeks postpartum and this was my first class since giving birth. It was perfect. I'd love to have you post more postpartum classes!
- stephanie snyder Jun 29th, 2012more coming, thanks TomTom!
- Ulrika Sundin Jun 25th, 2012Great class as always Stephanie. :) I would love if you would give your view on how best to help close the gap between the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that most women get after pregnancy. I know crunch-like exercises should be left out until the gap is no bigger than the width of two fingers but it would be interesting to see what your suggestions would be. I'd also like to encourage all breastfeeding moms out there to try breastfeeding lying down on your side with your baby next to you. It can be a bit tricky the first few weeks if the baby is on the smaller side but as the baby grows I find it works better and better and it is so restful compared with sitting up holding the baby. My children have both seemed to prefer doing it this way too. :)
- stephanie snyder Jun 29th, 2012Hi Ulrika- always good hearing from you. safest abs for diastasis would be plank variations that work more on stabilization. You are right crunches are not rec. And YES to side lying breast feeding, SO good. My first wasn't into it but my second is and its a great break for the shoulders and upper back.
- Jessie Laflamme Jun 18th, 2012Great class Stephanie! Thank you :) This is exactly what I needed today after a long night with my fussy babe :)
- stephanie snyder Jun 29th, 2012bless the fussy babe and bless you! It gets easier :)
- Lorie Walther Jun 18th, 2012Are you going to do any classes as Mommy and baby? I would really love that and think it would be great. Really hard to find.
- stephanie snyder Jun 18th, 2012Hey Lorie-You can try this practice with your baby next to you on a play mat. You can also have your baby under your face when on all fours for about the first 7 minutes. Will keep in mind your request too!
- Kristin Baker Dec 31st, 2012I think a momma and baby class would be awesome!

Lockheed X-7
|Experimental aircraft
|Lockheed Corporation
|First flight
|April 26, 1951
|Primary user
|United States Air Force
|Developed into
|AQM-60 Kingfisher
The Lockheed X-7 (dubbed the "Flying Stove Pipe") was an American unmanned test bed of the 1950s for ramjet engines and missile guidance technology.
Design and development[edit]
The X-7 was carried aloft by a B-29 or B-50 Superfortress carrier aircraft. A booster rocket ignited after launch and propelled the vehicle to a speed of 1,000 mph (1,625 km/h). The booster was then jettisoned, and the underslung ramjet took over from that point. The X-7 eventually returned to Earth, its descent slowed by parachute. A maximum speed of 2,881 mph (4640 km/h / Mach 4.31) was attained, setting a record for fastest air-breathing aircraft at the time. A total of 130 X-7 flights were conducted from April 1951 to July 1960.
The X-7 was also used to test HEF-2 and Hi Cal-3 zip fuel, which has a superior heating value of 26,500 Btu/lb. compared to hydrocarbon fuel with 18,400 Btu/lb.[1]
Specifications (X-7A-1)[edit]
General characteristics
- Crew: None
- Length: 32 ft 9 in (9.98 m)
- Wingspan: 12 ft (3.66 m)
- Height: 7 ft (2.1 m)
- Loaded weight: 8,000 lb (3,600 kg)
- Powerplant:
- 1 × Alleghany Ballistics Laboratories X202-C3 solid-fuel rocket, 105,000 lbf (467 kN)
- 1 × various Marquardt MA20 ramjets under test, ()
- Maximum speed: Mach 4.31 (2,881 mph, 4,640 km/h)
- Service ceiling: 106,000 ft (32,317 m)

|PAUL LEE makes art that deals with the language of objects. His work is made from a variety of carefully chosen materials that recall neo-Dada and pop art objects such as soda cans, light bulbs, worn towels, Xeroxes and tambourines. Earlier work was made from materials that carry information as currency, like celebrity photographs, FedEx boxes, envelopes and invitations to art events. Paul's work deals with desire and the abstract quality of desire; the two different realities that exist in our core and the things outside of us that appear to control us against our will. His art makes apparent in both tangible and fleeting ways the implied interactivity between the different languages existing in the same object at the same time.

GoDaddy Faces PR Nightmare Over Domain Suspension
GoDaddy abrubtly suspends registration.
GoDaddy chief Bob Parsons is a big supporter of free speech. He's also a big supporter of privacy as a way to do this by promoting domain whois privacy services.
That's why the internet world was shocked today to learn that GoDaddy suspended a domain name, seclists.org, based on the content on that site. MySpace contacted GoDaddy to suspend the registration because the site had information about MySpace users including their usernames and passwords. GoDaddy complied.
See Seclists.org's explanation of what happened here.
To make matters worse, GoDaddy general counsel Christine Jones responded by saying GoDaddy's terms of service say the company "reserves the right to terminate your access to the services at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever", according to the CNET article.
That attitude should make people think twice about registering domains with the company. I suspect that, although its in the terms and conditions, it's not GoDaddy's policy to terminate access to services for any reason.
What is a registrar's role in enforcing the law? This is a topic of much debate. In July eNom came under pressure because one of its resellers registered a domain on behalf of a terrorist organization. Last year an organization tried to get a court order to force ICANN to suspend the registration of Spamhaus, an anti-spam site. Domain registars are also coming under fire to track registrations of typo domains that might be used for phishing attacks.
Generally speaking, a domain registrar supplies the domain but the content is hosted with the webhost. A webhost should be responsible for complying with requests to remove copyrighted content and remove sites that violate the law. In this case, MySpace probably contact GoDaddy because it's a large company. Webhosts are often small and difficult to contact.
You can rest assured that Bob Parsons will blog about this issue. He has some explaining to do.

This is not new. I had a recent experience with Tucows taking a name that was possibly a TM name. Tucows never received a letter from the company or a UDRP. They think they are authorized to "police" the internet. Once i realized it, I contacted Tucows and learned that they took control of the name for security (phishing) reasons. I had never modified the nameservers or done anything other than have the name parked. After speaking with Ross Rader, he told me they could take whatever names they deemed a potential risk and didn't need to notify the domain name owner. After stealing my name, they used it in the exact manner in which i was using it. I had a PPC page on it and once they took control, so did they. They made money on my domain name for about 45 days during the holiday season which was it's price earnings opportunity. Additionally, the name was aquired through their domain auctions. I contacted Icann and they choose not too respond or address the issue.
GoDaddy is probably the worst registar because they censor domains they don't even host.
These are the same guys who run commercials that run up against FCC standards, but if they don't like the ideas expressed on your website they will suspend or cancel your domain without notice.
GoDaddy has crossed a line for which it should be boycotted. Go elsewhere if you want professional services and you'll save money too.
[…] This is an important issue to folow up on: Domain Name Wire » Blog Archive » GoDaddy Faces PR Nightmare Over Domain Suspension – The Domain Industry's News Source […]
I don't see why it's a big deal that this happened, if this guy is stealing personal info he deserves to be shut down.
It's unfortunate some people are going to treat this as a free speech issue, which it's not really "supposed" to be.
The gist of that is the customer violated the terms of their registrar's registration agreement. It's unfortunate s/he had to learn that the hard way.
People can believe A and registrars can believe B, no one can force the other to see things the way they want them to. But you DO agree to their terms anyway the moment you check the box beside "I have read the registration agreement and agree to its terms".
Awareness and responsibility is a two-way street. Be aware, be responsible.
And of course, don't use that service provider if you don't agree to their terms at all.
Bob Parsons is a big supporter of raking in money form GoDaddy, and nothing else. To do this, it means he has to pretend to be a "nice guy" – but actions speak louder than words, and I've lost count of the number of times GoDaddy have done this exact thing before.
Tucows did the same thing to me over TM names which is why I moved all my domains out of opensrs.
I've heard about godaddy doing this stuff before which is why I only keep junk domains there.
Of course the worst registrar is Registerfly. Registerfly stole hundreds of domains from me and is now monetizing them.
This company is really evil.
A class action suit is now forming against them.
Checkout http://www.Registerflies.com
Regardless of whether GoDaddy has the authority to seize or shut down sites under its TOS, the missing concept here is DUE PROCESS.
GoDaddy has chosen to act on the advice of an outside party without seeking input or rebuttal from their loyal client. Judge, jury and executioner with the accused not even told about the trial !!!
I have over a 1000 domains with GoDaddy, and Bob, (are you listening Bob ?) unless I have a rapid explanation of GoDaddy's future protections for your clients against these sort of rogue accusations, all my domains are on their way to Moniker. One suspects though that there will be only deafening silence from president Bob.
Bob, what steps will GoDaddy take to ensure that a domain registered with your company will remain the property of the registrant? And when will this be implemented?
I have more than 500 domains registered with GoDaddy and would prefer not to have to become a registrar to protect my domain name registrations, but if your company will not do it for me, you leave me no choice.
MySpace complained to GoDaddy.com that the website in question was displaying what was purported to be a list of MySpace usernames and passwords that had been acquired by phishing.
GoDaddy.com would have inspected the website and discovered the list was indeed displayed. What are they to do? In their view it was a clear breach of the ToS so they disabled the domain.
Later, when the offending document had been removed, the domain name was re-enabled.
Bob, what steps will GoDaddy take to ensure that a domain registered with your company will remain the property of the registrant? And when will this be implemented?
Colin, read any registrar's registration agreement. None of them ever indicate domain names are property to begin with, and neither do they say registrants own them outright.
Seriously you're potentially setting yourself up for needless trouble if you insist on believing otherwise.
This is my recent experience with GoDaddy:
1. i registered a domain with a clever name with them (with nothing potentially suggestive in the name)
2. godaddy accepted my registration and charged my credit card
3. next day i have an e-mail just stating that they have accepted my charge-back request and refunded my card (even though I did not send any communications to them asking for that, I wanted the domain to be registered)
4. my domain with a clever name seems to be suddenly owned (according to a whois search) by an un-known company called "Maltuzi LLC" in California
5. I send a telefax to GoDaddy's fax number, addressed to the "head of customer services", demanding explanation and monetary compensation for their theft of my intellectual property
6. suddenly my domain goes un-registered again, and i re-registered it with another registrar, no problems, and still no reply whatsoever from GoDaddy.
I suppose GoDaddy thinks they can just do whatever they want and steal domains to sell them to other folks? Well, happily there are other choices around…

[…] Domainwire's story […]
GoDaddy are usually good at terminating domains belonging to spammers. That they happen to cut off some h4x0rs that publish phished account information is just a bonus.
In anti-spam forums, GoDaddy have long been "white hat" (a.k.a. Good Guy) because of their good track record in terminating spammer domains. Recently, however, it seems like they are not as proactive, but hopefully that will change back again.
GoDaddy by their action have lost many potential customers.
I have personally translated the article to 3 other languages and posted it in the forums that I participate in.
Most people, especially those whom have their sites in a language other than English would like some re-assurance.
With such action and Policy, I truly doubt that anyone would want to buy a domain with them.
I personally am thankful that Fyodor decided to go public with this. Because I have an account with GoDaddy due to renewal, and like hell I would ever consider them ever again.
Judging by the types of comments I have read I wonder if people even know how the internet works. Some hosting companies are responsible for the content they host. But what about the people running their own servers. How is that controlled? The only groups that can fully monitor illegal or obscene content is the domain registrars. I for one would much rather see a site be shut down immediately than leave it up for 24 or 48 hours while waiting for a response from the owner of the site. If the data is illegal or obscene it should be removed immediately without prejudice.
I commend GoDaddy for shutting the site down. I would hate to think what kind of content would still be up if registrars like GoDaddy didn't shut down sites immediately.
Great job Godaddy. I have had my domains registered with them since 2001 and have never had any problems. Why? Because I dont try to do things that are illegal or against their TOS. If it had been the username/password for your hosting account or email account then I am pretty sure you wouldnt want them to wait for a response from the site owner to pull it down. You would want it done then and now.
yes I agree go daddy has always been very good about handling spam. good point, don't try to do anything illegal and things like this won't happen.
[…] comment because of its privacy policy. This sounds strange, as GoDaddy has commented on previous situations like […]
I have had my domains with a GoDaddy reseller and I have to say that GoDaddy is absolutely great in the services they provide. The world is not black and white and sometimes people have to make difficult decisions to protect the innocent. I can see why they may have felt compelled to find a reason to stop the less than honorable practice until the law can catch up with handling the issue. My opinions only.
I actually had an account with go daddy. I used their domain name backorder service and paid for it for yeears. When my domain originaly was available a reseller bought it and put spam ads on the site. After the traffic wore down to nothing they let the renewal go. So i thought that woudl be my chance to finally get the name i wanted. Go daddy sends me an email saying they are in teh process of securing my name for me. They did secure it however for themselves. Then they sent me an email stating it was going to be placed in go daddy auctions and I had to bid for it. So not only did i pay for domain backordering and monitoring, now I have to pay an additional auction fee to join auctions, bid on my domain and then still pay the freaking domain registration fee on top of that. I cant believe how bad go daddy has screwed me on this. Why pay for backordering if they make your domain available to anyone at an auction?? I am so disgusted with the way they have handled this domain for me.

Wednesday's ruling that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional met with mixed reaction in the Lodi area.
Some say it's a great day for California.
Posted in News on Thursday, August 5, 2010 12:00 am. Updated: 7:45 am.
Currently I'm in Sunnyvale (plan to retire to a place such as Lodi in a few months) so I won't intrude into your discussion. Two short notes: Your civility is a credit to your town --- you are sincerely trying to communicate and share with each other (in great distinction to the violent insults and illogicality which plague the national blog sites). You might find interesting Dana Mack's article in The Wall Street Journal, "Now what for Marriage?" August 6, 2010, page W9. She discusses a man named Blankenhorn (whom she knows personally and was one of the only two witnesses called by the defense). Mack is astute and pithy, so I'll not attempt a synopsis of her interesting observations. Thanks, Guys! Stay Well and keep talking.
Kevin, a well regulated militia is a reason for the right to bear arms. It does not limit the right to bear arms. You need to pay closer attention to what the words of the amendment say and spend less time worrying about what you have been told that they say.
Sorry Steve, I disagree with you. Nowhere in 14 does it say anyone has the right to marry anyone. It does say everyone is offered equal protection under the law. Strictly speaking the constitution left the issue of marriage up to the individual states to decide. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This issue was voted on in a legal election, decided, then over turned because of a Judge didn't like it.
Marriage is not a "Constitutional right", the Constitution says nothing about marriage. It is a right reserved for individual states to establish, which California did, which a judge overturned.
Oh, since I am there already the 2nd amendment says our right to own a gun only exists as part of a militia "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." It has been twisted so that drug dealers and thugs can carry better weaponry than our police officers.
Ok, quick question, off topic.....
How in the (bleep) do you change your picture??? Ive gone to edit profile and uploaded, but theres no save changes or anything- Ive tried "update profile" but it didnt work and Im getting v e r y frustrated...
Oh another quick question please if I may....Im dying to know- and if you dont wish to come forward, no worries, I wont ask again, but now that we have to introduce ourselves by real name,...... . who are: 'T n C' "Dogs 4 u' and "Geovanina'?
It is clear from the first amendment that Churches are immune from suits to force them to ordain women, ordain blacks or marry gays. The first amendment protects them from such coercion just as the 2nd Amendment protects our right to bear arms and the 14th amendment protects the rights of gays to marry.
Steve Schmidt stated, "The women who are trying to change the Catholic system in this country are doing so through the traditional means of the Church, not through the secular courts."
As I am not absolutely certain where Mr. Schmidt stands on this particular subject (women serving as priests in the Catholic (or any other) church), he seems to hint that while there is no legal recourse for them (women who want to be priests) through their grievances to the Vatican, if they were to attempt to challenge the restriction in civil court, they might prevail. (Please correct me if I am wrong, Mr. Schmidt.)
No one has the right to demand that any church alter their practices unless they violate the law. Under the Constitution, the Church is specifically protected from governmental interference. Sadly, many Americans actually believe the opposite to be true.
I won't be surprised if gay marriage becomes the law of the land there will be actions filed that would attempt to force churches to perform homosexual ceremonies. Since the leverage the government will have in their favor will be their tax-exempt status, I fear that many of these churches will cave under the pressure.
No, I never said anything about women and the priesthood. Rich Yorn mentioned it and I think the point he was trying to make was that the 1st Amendment allows the Catholics to discriminate against women with out legal repercussions. This is, of course, true.
The women who are trying to change the Catholic system in this country are doing so through the traditional means of the Church, not through the secular courts.
So...I'm trying to see where you can reasonably draw the conclusions that I said "that women are fighting to become catholic priests because we allow them to get married".
I briefly mentioned gay marriage and how lawsuits may force churches oppose to them, perfom them. Then YOU mentioned women can't become priests which I countered showing there are those trying. From that you infer that I think "women are fighting to become catholic priests because we allow them to get married"?
You're right, that makes no sense.
So... you are saying that women are fighting to become catholic priests because we allow them to get married?
That makes no sense.
Rich: You inadvertently have proven my point. http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/Swiss_woman_ordained_Catholic_priest.html?cid=5279216
Women are already (And on this issue I agree) fighting to become priests. If this loong standing tradition is falling under more and more scrutiny then other, equally long held teachings stand to falter as well.
The reason I support women in the priesthood is the Biblical accounts of how often God used women to deliver His messages. In my opinion if a woman is good enough to carry the son of God, raise him, and stand by him through all the trials when men failed, then women are worthy of priesthood. I suspect in the next 50 years this men-only tradition could change. The next Pope selected will be the first one ever to be selected who has grown up entirely post Vatican II, thus most likely not as bound with older traditions.
Kevin i've seen this "issue" brought up before. But there's a problem with the rationality of it. You see churches are left to their own customs especially the two that you named who were the biggest supporters of prop 8 , the Catholic and Mormon Church. Where the fear falls short and simply becomes a tactics is because there is already separation in the church that would be considered unjust or unconstitutional but because they are part of the belief system then they are continued as usual.
The Catholic Church does not allow women to hold the Priesthood. And in the Mormon Church people of African American Decent or with a dark pigment to their skin (Cuban, Haitian, Etc ) are seen as the decedents of Cain who slayed his brother able and was punished by God. His punishment was that his decedents would not be allowed into the holly Priesthood and through out their book it describes them as having a dark color or pigment to their skin.
And yet the government has not stepped in even though they are by definition unconstitutional. Churches have protection and are left to their belief systems and nothing will change that.
After all if i were to get married regardless of my sexual orientation, i would go where i am welcomed, wouldn't you?
Trista: Just a point of clarification and I have had this discussion in the past with others on these boards but while it is true that Christians are taught that God is the final judge one of the things he will judge us on is if we abide by the standard set in Ezekiel 33. That is if we see someone doing wrong then we should tell them. There is huge difference between saying a behavior is wrong and blatant condemnation which many of those against gay marriage have done. Using Ezekiel's terms, we are to sound the trumpet, not bash it over their heads.
You did however touch on something I agree with. I see a time in the not to future when a gay couple tries to force a church they belong to who does not endorse gay marriage to marry them. There are many gay people in the Catholic and Mormon churches. Without legal protection these two and other churches may be forced, by law, to do something they believe is wrong. Prop 8 was the only protection these churches had not to go against their beliefs. I believe there is a middle ground that could be estabished to allow for gay marriage, but protect establishments from supporting it if it is against their religious beliefs.
An unconstitutional law is just as unconstitutional if 100% of the people vote for it as if 51% of the people vote for it.
If people want to ban guns or gay marriage, they should amend the Constitution. From what I have seen of polls, they will need an awful lot of luck and money to do either.
First off, since when have schools taught ANYTHING having to do w/ anything about marriage? Had gays been allowed to marry, end of story, no one would would be hearing or even thinking about it by now-If anything, its BECAUSE of all this controversy that students could be required to study this issue as it unfolds, this history in the making.. The fact that this has been a subject of taboo throughout history evokes the very curiosity those opposing are desperate to keep our youth away from. We instinctively want to see and know what we're not supposed to, its in our nature- what do we do when someone tells us not to look?
Secondly, since most of the argument is in regards to religious beliefs, doesnt the bible teach us indifference-that their is only One judge? To follow some teachings and blatantly disregard others how they see fit is doing more harm then good because hypocrisy is ruining the integrity of the religion itself-what kind of example are leaders setting by teaching kids its ok to go against certain things written in the bible or by even just by teaching something that they themselves dont even follow?
And lastly, I was just wondering, and this is a sincere inquiry so I would like a sincere answer and/or feedback on it- what about hermaphrodites? Now thats a genuine medical reason for amending the constitution-because last I heard marriage doesnt discriminate against people because they have a medical condition.
Churches should have the right to refuse marrying gays-asking them to go against something they believe in is just plain disrespectful, just as it is to deny an adult the legal rights that comes with marriage because the state (or any person/entity) doesnt approve of the person they want to marry.
i understand your point but it's hard comparing 100% which is never going to happen and 57% to 43% such as with prop 8. It's just a huge leap.
There should be no problem, it is exactly the same scenario in reverse.
The Constitution is not a smorgasbord. You cannot pick and choose which rights you want to respect. If you can't respect the 2nd Amendment, how can you possibly demand that conservatives respect the 14th?
Personally, I favor both the right to bear arms and the right of gays to get married.
Theres a problem answering such an exaggerated hypothetical question.
If 100% of Californians voted to make guns illegal, would it be right for the courts to uphold that law?
Brian wrote, " If the gay marriage ruling [of the California Supreme
Court] is not overturned, TEACHERS COULD BE REQUIRED to teach
young children there is no difference between gay marriage and
traditional marriage."
Brian we all know that is complete bs....and no where is it stated that homosexuality would be taught in any schools what so ever.
Thats a simple scare tactic, and a pathetic one at that. Schools are supposed to be bipartisan and teach facts not opinion.
You can't and shouldn't be able to vote away an individuals rights, thus why we have the constitution and the judicial system, in order to protect those rights.
Quick question! Why is it always men who get the interview? or blog! Way to go prop 8 i support you all the way! As long as everyone is happy I think there are a lot of other things to worry about! Rachel you Rock! And you have the best family and support! Love ya!
Brian: Your 7:34 a.m. post shouldn't be attributed to me. Pastor Bill Cummins made that statement, not me.
Of course the judge ignored that the Constitution says ,in so many words, boundaries must be established in order for a society to function. I doubt it occurred to him that our moral footing would be compromised when he arrived at his decision.
One of the things we hear all the time is that every vote counts. This is garbage. A judge can come right along and overturn a ruling voted in by voters at a whim. Your vote doesn't count for a darn thing. Very, very disappointed in the outcome on the Prop 8 issue. After voting for 46 years, my faith is gone in the public vote and will spend my time doing something else rather than studying the issues.
Rabbi Raphael Pazo, Lodi: "Nobody has the right to tell anyone what they can do or not do. That creates a second-class citizen. It goes back to the commandment, 'Love thy neighbor.' "
-Seems to me this Rabbi doesn't understand the concept of setting boundries.

The homosexual population in America is about seven percent. To their credit, they have been able to control a great deal of our culture through their selfishness

We should not accept a court decision that may
result in public schools teaching our own kids that gay
marriage is ok. * * * [W]hile gays have the right to their
private lives, they do not have the right to redefine marriage
for everyone else.
Judges ruling.
It's not about having equal rights via a civil union for those inn the gay community.
It's all about having equal rights via a marriage. The GLM is clear. It will do anything it can in tyhe name of equality even if it means the long standing tradition of marriage,
that has always been between 1 man and 1 woman, has to be eroded.
