Why Gays and Lesbians Hate Bisexuals:
Though they welcome us into their 'community'.
The fact is that alot of bisexuals are mis treated
by the very people who are mistreated because
of who they chose to love.
Bisexuals are mistreated by the lesbian and gay
community often.
Some of the insults are not limited to but include:
Fence Jumper : Someone who sits on a fence and doesn't know
which side to climb over.
Not 100% ground beef only 80/20.
Reffering to the fact that we chose other partners.
There are no real bisexuals.
Reffering to the fact that often bisexuals
chose to live as 'gays' because they are not able
to live up to their gay partner's expectation. Often
bisexuals lie about being bisexual because
they are threatened and put down by their gay
partner until they tell their gay partner that they have
Bisexuals are confused.
Though there are persons who've been living with
bisexuality longer than most gay couples have been
together are we still considered confused.
One would think that you would quit calling us
confused after oh 5 or ten years of living and
being active in this lifestyle.
The following are articles found on the web to support the theory that bisexuals are 'hated' in the gay and lesbian community. There were plenty of articles to post. I just happened to pick a few. If you would like yours removed please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and remind me of where your article was posted (since this website is so large). Thanks
Other articles:
Fence-sitters. Closeted-dykes. We have all sorts of names for bisexuals, don't we?
I made a new friend online the other day and we were discussing women who are bisexual because their husbands and boyfriends want them to be. I insisted those were not bisexuals, they were only women who were engaging (pathetically, I might add) in bisexual behavior just to please a man. How many of you conservative women reading this have done that? Don't lie either. I have it on good authority that there are plenty of you who have. If a woman has to "become" a bisexual to keep her husband interested in their sex life, that woman needs a new husband. But hey, people have to do what they gotta do, right?
Those bisexuals don't usually concern lesbians because they're usually running in packs together -- looking for other married bisexuals. The ones who usually suffer the brunt of our harsh criticism are the ones who we feel are just playing with women until the right guy comes along. When I hear a lesbian say, "I don't date bisexuals because I don't want to have to worry about her leaving me for a man," I just cringe. Excuse me. What does it matter who she leaves you for if she's plannin' on leavin'? I guess it would equate to the same ego blow that men receive when their wives leave them for one of those women they were playing around with. Ouch!
The insecurity of bisexuality. I think that's the problem so many lesbians have with bisexuals. I can't think of anything else. It would explain why someone like me (once married, mother of two, now lesbian) receives a much different reception among lesbians than a self-proclaimed bisexual woman does. Because I have identified as a lesbian, there's less risk that I would suddenly decide that a woman isn't what I want. Now, Sinead O'Connor blew that theory straight to hell when she removed herself from the last Lilith Fair tour and announced she was marrying a man. Talk about a surprise!
I'm trying to figure out the best way to word this. I'm thinking relationships are at their strongest when two people enter them with the best intentions. The country is sitting at a 50% divorce rate, so obviously even heterosexuals can't get the relationship thing right. For lesbians though, I suppose the added worry is that bisexuals throw an extra wrench in the equation because now there's a variable that's really beyond your control at play. That's making a huge assumption (an unfair assumption) that bisexuals are flippant and less committed to their relationships than lesbians are.
What I don't understand about our disdain for bisexuals though is that we embrace celebrities like Ani DiFrano who is bisexual, married to a man, and has a man running her record label. We call her a lesbian and we call her music "lesbian music." I'm not an Ani fan, by the way. I think her music is total propaganda, created to appeal to those people who want so badly to see her as a lesbian feminist. That's another blog entry entirely though. Also, there's Margaret Cho, who if you listen to her words carefully, always speaks more for and to male homosexuals. Don't get me wrong, Cho is funny as all hell and she's done much for promoting awareness of LGBT issues. But ya can't see her biases through your laughter.
It's really bad to see so much strife in what's often called a community: the LGBT community. The lesbians have it in for the bisexuals. The gay men have a problem with lesbians (don't act like you don't). The lesbians sitting in their corner bitchin' about the gay men who kiss them to say hello: "if one more fag kisses me . . . " And everybody bitchin' about the transgendered people. We're not all putting knives in each other's backs, of course not. But there's enough of us behaving like that to where it makes enough of a difference.

Students win scholarships in Comptroller poster contest
Picture Perfect
Three grand prize winners in the Texas Tomorrow Funds poster contest will receive four-year Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan scholarships to any Texas public university, and seven runners-up will receive one-year Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan community college scholarships.
Entries in the Texas Tomorrow Funds poster contest reflect the hopes and dreams of students across the state who, for a chance to win college scholarships, artfully depicted what they want to be after college.
"Every year, the Texas Tomorrow Funds poster contest attracts thousands of entries from talented and creative kids throughout Texas," says Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn. "Our children dream of becoming teachers, doctors, scientists and military heroes, and a Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan scholarship can help turn those dreams into reality."
This year, the contest drew more than 7,000 entries, says Sheila Clancy, spokesperson for the Comptroller's office.
Best in show
Nova Hou, a fourth-grade student at Lexington Creek Elementary in Missouri City, who mapped out a career as a conservationist, and Darcy Ripley, an eighth-grade student at Fort Stockton Middle School in Fort Stockton, who painted a future as an artist, were the grand prize winners in the elementary school and middle/junior high school categories. The scholarships they will receive were sponsored by Farmers Insurance and Belo Corp.
John Hageman, president of the Farmers Texas Companies, says Farmers has a lengthy history of supporting education.
"Farmers believes that anything we can do to promote the education of our youth has a lasting positive effect on the economy of Texas and, of course, the U.S.," Hageman says.
Casey Hedemann, a fifth-grade student at Olsen Elementary in Port Aransas who dreams of becoming a herpetologist, was the grand prize winner of the Intel Math, Science, Engineering and Technology (IMSET) scholarship. This category was open to contestants whose entries illustrate a career in a technical or scientific field.
Casey's mother, Annette Hedemann, says Casey has always been fascinated by all creatures scaled and clawed and says the whole family was thrilled to learn that Casey was the grand-prize winner for the IMSET scholarship.
"She has always been geared toward biology in general, and she has always had 'herp' pets," Hedemann says. "Most of the animals in the picture were or are her pets."
Casey's latest specimen, an Australian bearded dragon named Griffin, is featured at the top of Casey's drawing, Hedemann says.
A head start
Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas and Fannie Mae sponsor one-year community college scholarships for four runners-up in the elementary school category and three runners-up in the middle/junior high school category.
The elementary school runners-up were James Aguero from Drew Academy in Houston, Luis Garcia from San Luis Elementary in Eagle Pass, Rebecca Lemker from Magnolia Elementary in Magnolia and Cynthia Ramirez from John W. Arndt Elementary in Laredo.
The middle school runners-up were Matthew Pinkey from Hendrick Middle School in Plano, Ashley Rumfield from Frenship Junior High in Wolfforth and Jordan Williams from Athens Middle School in Athens.
Dream a little dream
The Texas Tomorrow Funds poster contest encourages young Texans to think about their future, Clancy says.
"It gets them thinking about what they want to be," she says. "Most of the well-paying jobs of the future require education beyond high school. [The contest] gets them thinking early about going to college and what it takes to get there."
This year's drawings reflect the youths' awareness of global events such as the war in Iraq and the shuttle explosion, Clancy says.
"This year the kids were obviously influenced by world events," she says. "We saw more military and space shuttle pictures."
A Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan from the Texas Tomorrow Funds helps make it possible for Texas youth to realize their educational ambitions by allowing families to set up a flexible, affordable plan to prepay their children's college tuition and required fees at today's prices. The state of Texas guarantees to cover those expenses when the child is ready to attend college, no matter how much costs may increase over time.
"I feel that the Texas Tomorrow Funds (TTFs) is a tremendous program," Hageman says. "The TTFs not only gives visibility to higher education, it lets the parents of young Texans know there are alternative and economical ways to finance the huge expense of higher education.
"The TTFs makes college possible for many who otherwise could not afford to attend," he says.

I have been in a lifelong war with my body, one that was raging even before the day when Brian, my fifth-grade crush, poked a finger into the underarm fat puffing over the elastic of my sundress and said, "You've got blabber."
My too, too solid flesh and I temporarily reached détente seven years ago, however, when I lost enough weight to make me not thin, but on the juicy side of average. I met a man. We were having the best sex of our lives. And once we were happily ensconced together, life intervened, and I got reacquainted with my friends Little Debbie and Jose Cuervo.
Twenty-five pounds later, our sex life was in the toilet, where I wish I had flushed all those pesto lasagnas I made for us. Sex happened less frequently, and often it would happen only halfway before Alex's erection shrank or skulked away entirely, sending us into a maelstrom of tears (mine) and recriminations (first mine, then his). Sometimes when we did have sex, I thought he was just phoning it in, and I was sure of it when we were engaged in sexual congress, a jet flew overhead, and he wondered dreamily, "Maybe that's President Obama in Air Force One."
Then one night when we were sparring about our difficulties, he finally said what I knew he'd been thinking all along: that he'd been more excited by me in bed before I'd gained the weight.
I was sitting there in a flowered wraparound housedress that came from a Ukrainian bazaar, frozen in a still from my new biopic, The Castrating Hindenburg. Alex pounded his pubic bone. "I feel your fat here," he said. "I used to feel muscle."
This was one of the worst nights of my life. He knew how much shame I had about my body, how much disappointment I felt that our sex life was turning out so miserably, and he had dropped a smart bomb right on my heart.
And yet? And yet. The truth was, I thought my body was sexier 25 pounds ago too. In the dark days that ensued, I could not wholeheartedly agree with the friends who said that if this asshole really loved me, he should be ripping off that housedress to get to my (no matter how) ample rear end. Of course I expect to be loved no matter what I look like, but sexual desire just is, isn't it?
Before Alex and I got together, I had ended a marriage, in part because that ephemeral "it" had just never been there. And it never would be there, I felt certain, no matter how many counseling sessions and earnest exercises in which we'd rub each other with scented oils and leave notes on the dresser.
It's not that my husband wasn't a good-looking guy. Women who saw his picture in my office would say how handsome he was, and I would beam back my agreement, but in a way that felt almost theoretical. No burn in the gut, because I had never chosen him with my body. I had married him because he wanted me, and because he was a wonderful man, and because he wanted me. Was I really going to pass him up? So I put on a wedding dress with sleeves that covered up the blabber, and I entered an arranged marriage of sorts, brokered by my fat.
We were married until I was brave (or reckless) enough not to be married anymore. The heart doesn't want what it doesn't want, I thought, and neither do the genitals. (By the way, there's more sustenance in this philosophy for the one who's leaving than for the one who's being left.)
When Alex said he didn't want me as much as he used to, I felt betrayed. He'd gone for my soft underbelly, so to speak, hitting me below the belt. But I also felt bitten, as a friend of mine likes to say, by the tooth of truth. How could I expect Alex to groove on my body more than I did? And I understood how it was to look at somebody who deserved your desire but be unable to manufacture it. Now I knew how it felt to be on the other side of the equation. And it felt like shit.
The next day I had an anxiety attack in which my body went numb; my tingling hands drew up into claws. (When the EMT hooked me to the heart-monitor leads, he congratulated me on having shaved my legs. I had recovered somewhat by then and felt grateful that he was exposing only my left breast, which was less droopy than the right.) I called Alex from a gurney in the ER and sobbed, "You need to be more careful with me!"
Even at my fattest, I was cute. If you ask the women in my life, I bet they'll say so too: nice skin, flattering outfits, immaculate eyeliner. But these aren't the things that matter most to men, are they? It has always seemed to me that most straight men just sort of fly over you and take an aerial reconnaissance photo: how short your skirt, how long your hair, the rounds and mounds and hillocks of you. Major land formations. It's women who zoom in on your carefully primped details. Carefully primped details were my joy and my specialty, and what I had to offer.
It should also be said that I'd probably spent an inordinate amount of time fretting over what men liked, because when I was a teenager, a therapist told me my major problem was this: I wasn't sexy. I think we can all agree that this guy was as crazy as a latrine rat. (Dr. Latrine Rat also told me he was in love with his college girlfriend, not his wife, and that I should write for TV when I grew up.) But at 17, you have so little context. So many things you hear about the world seem not quite right. How to sort them all?
It would take me a few years to get good and outraged about what Dr. Latrine Rat had said, and it would take me a few more to prove to myself that he had been wrong. Even a fat girl could be sexy. She just had to build it, and they would come.
Until they didn'tand said it was your fault.
Friends told me that their husbands found them sexy no matter what they looked like: in their zit medicine, in glasses, on the bathroom floor with stomach flu. I hoped so, but did they? Did we spend our dating lives striving to attract each other on this purely physical plane, only to couple up and deny that plane had ever existed? That it had evaporated, like Brigadoon?
Uncharitably, uncomfortably, I found myself thinking of Alex's wart. He has a wart on the underside of his chin, and when we met I tried hard not to see it. Then he grew some facial hair, and I was thrilled. It suited him, and it covered the wart. When he had a shaving accident last year and had to go bare-faced, I begged him to grow back the beard. "You don't look like you anymore!" I said. But really, I couldn't look at the wart. I'd never say so, though. It would hurt his feelings.

ChordsTabsTabs v2Ukulele
"Kill Your Television" by Ned's Atomic Dustbin I'm not too sure about the correctness of this. Me and a friend figured it out on two guitars. One is supposed to be a bass I'm sure...but we didn't happen to have one laying around so we did what we could....what I'm really saying is that it's better than nothing. So here goes: Guitar 1 (or bass) does this through the verses: in barre or power chords (for guitar): F# E B F# Along with that goes guitar 2 with these four chords: |------------------------| |--------------0---------| |----11---9----8----6----| |----11---9----9----4----| |----9----7---------4----| |------------------------| Then for the chorus part you just do barre chords: (use A shape barres for the C# and the E, and E shape barres for the B) C# E B Kill C# E B Your C# E B C# E B Television

not happy...
By Loveski
from Hamilton
when I ordered the product I assumed it was for right hand since there's no indication or preference for left and right and I got one for left and it was too late for me to send it back, so it's no use for my husband.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Red Sox Win Third Straight Against Tigers at Fenway
With all the injuries the Red Sox have had this year especially to a number of their better players and with their little sparkplug, Dustin Pedroia, out with a sore thumb, you would think this team would chuck it all in. No way. Tonight they came back from a three run deficit to overtake the Tigers by a score of 6-4. It wasn't just offense that brought them back but defense played a big part in this win.
After the Tigers tagged John Lester for a run in the first and two more in the second inning David Ortiz came up in the fourth and hit a nice fastball from Tiger starter Drew Smiley over the wall in center field. Adrian Gonzalez was on second after hitting the first of his two doubles in the game. Youkilis followed with a single and before you could stuff your mouth with another peanut or potato chip rookie third baseman Will Middlebrooks lined a shot over the wall for a two run home run to put the Sox ahead 4-3. Detroit tied it up in the seventh but right fielder Adrian Gonzalez lined a ground rule double to right field for the go-ahead run. Kevin Youkilis got an important insurance run with a long home run in the eighth to left field.
The two defensive plays that kept the Sox in the game were by Daniel Nava and Marlon Byrd. When Tiger catcher Alex Avila hit a line drive off the wall in left and tried to stretch it to a double, Nava made a perfect throw to second to get Avila. The next hitter hit a double and eventually scored but the throw from Nava kept things from getting out of hand.
In the eighth inning DH Gerald Laird hit a soft line drive to short center with a man on first and two out. He made up his mind to go all out after the ball. He dove outstretched completely and snatched the ball before it could hit the ground. What a great catch by Byrd.
Lester started but looked tight. He seemed to be pressing out there. When a hitter presses he's tight and tense. He chases bad pitches and has problems relaxing. Lester started the game and just didn't look right. That is until the Red Sox took the lead. You could see the difference in his tempo and concentration. He eventually ran out of gas in the seventh and could not get the win. He could pitch on my team anytime. He's a gamer. Acevis came in the game in the ninth. It was his fourth game in a row and he didn't disappoint. He got his 14th save of the year. Watch out, Mariano Rivera.
By the way, the only player the Red Sox cannot afford to get injured for any length of time. Hint? He hit a two run home run to center field tonight.

Tigers 6 White Sox 4: Swept Away
These are depressing times to be a White Sox fan. The only thing the White Sox couldn't do this weekend against Detroit was get swept. As long as they managed to win just one game they'd return from their 10-game road trip still in first place in the AL Central.
So of course the White Sox went out and got swept by the Tigers.
I'm not going to panic. The truth is that at the moment the Sox are playing some of their worst baseball of the season, and the Tigers are playing their best baseball of the season. This was the absolute worst time for the Sox to run into Detroit, but that's just the way the schedule works sometimes.
Yes, it sucks to be back in second place after spending so much time in first. It also sucks to be 1.5 games out of first when five days ago the Sox had a 3.5 game lead on the Tigers.
But you know what? There are still 67 games left to be played. The Sox also have 7 games left against the Tigers this season.
It's a bit early to quit, don't you think?
As for today's game, not much you can do other than pin this one on Phil Humber. The curveball that Phil had against Boston in his last start was non-existent this afternoon and was instead replaced with fastball up and out over the plate. Fastballs that were routinely killed.
Seriously, Miguel Cabrera's second home run was measured at 457 feet, and that might have been 75 feet short.
If there's any good news about today it's that the Sox actually fought back a bit, turning a 6-1 deficit into a 6-4 loss. Also, after Brennan Boesch homered off Phil Humber to knock him out of the game, Hector Santiago, Nate Jones and Donnie Veal pitched the final 6 innings without allowing another hit. Though Santiago did issue 4 walks.
So there were some positives today. Not enough to outweigh being swept, but hopefully the Sox can come home for three days and get some much needed wins against the Twins.

It's time to get Dunn out of the 3 hole and put Rios there. Is there any other team in the majors that has a third hitter in their lineup hitting under .210?ReplyDeleteReplies
It's not his average you should be looking at. It's his OBP, which is at .356. Rios has an OBP of .354 at the moment.Delete
Personally I'd rather have Dunn getting on board for Rios than Rios getting on board for Dunn because Rios is more likely to get the base hit.
Wipe your memory clean. The Sox are 1.5 back on July 23. EVERYONE would have gone bananas if you told them that on Opening Day.ReplyDelete
Sad stat of the day: The Sox are 1-6 in their last 7. They have led in all 7 games.
Feel free to vent about how much any player sucks, but no hate speech directed at anybody, be it a player or a fellow commenter.

"The American Film festival provides an important cultural forum, because the role of the arts is incalculable in determining how we evolve as a people," said Miss Long, who wrote the poem while living in Columbia. Md. "No one doubts that the events of September 11, 2001, will be a part of the American consciousness forever, but the lens through which we view them will shape our future."
Miss Long's 8-minute video offers a unique and healing perspectives on a pivotal moment in in America's history. Award-winning New York arranger and producer Mark Freeh created the video from Ms. Long's poem, against the backdrop of his stirring arrangement of "America the Beautiful," and moving renditions of "Amazing Grace," and "My Country 'Tis of Thee."
"We must never forget that tragic day—or what got us through it—our courage, compassion, and commitment to preserving the American Spirit—that spirit of freedom known to all the world. I hope this work not only memorializes but inspires; not only honors but heals," Miss Long said.

Should advertisers stop spending so much time obsessing over audience targeting and building "relationships" with consumers?
That appears to be the message contained in the preliminary findings from the Institute of Practioners in Advertising's (IPA) "Advertising effectiveness: the long and short of it" report, which will be published in full next year.
According to the report's authors:"The vast majority of people have better things to do with their lives than to form deep and meaningful relationships with brands. Advertisers should not chase loyalty from customers but should speak to as broad an audience as possible and do so over the long-term.
"Obsessing solely about short-term sales is self-defeating; brands must be in it for the long-term as that is where the greater success lies. TV is particularly effective for long-term success."
They are basically claiming that short-term, sales-focused campaigns are less efficient than large-scale campaigns aimed at the biggest audience possible.
They also say that targeting, even based on a divide as simple as new and existing customers, is less efficient than mass campaigns.
The below graph shows the comparative number of "very large effects" - such as increased profit, sales or market share, or a reduction in price sensitivity - that were generated by different approaches to targeting - or not targeting at all.
At face value, the findings seem to fly in the face of the growing online orthodoxy around the value of carefully focused campaigns assessed on the actions they produce.
The most effective form of advertising, according to the IPA, is long-term and with broad appeal, and brands should be spending 60 percent of their budget on such campaigns.
The good news for publishers? It provides a compelling argument for convincing ad buyers they should be signing those long-term space deals for prominent placement on your site or in your magazine, rather than relying on ad networks and programmatic buying.
The bad news for (most) publishers? Well according to the report, TV is by far and away the most effective medium for delivering those mass audience ads - as you can see below.
There are however, a couple of things to take into account when looking at the report's findings.
First off, mass audience brand campaigns and direct sales-focused ads affect different parts of the purchasing process.
As the IPA itself says: "Advertisers need to ensure their campaigns strike the right balance between long-term investment in brand-building using mass media, and short-term, direct methods that stimulate sales. Campaigns that use both in harmony are more effective, more efficient and more profitable."
Second, the IAP report is based on data from 1,000 brand campaigns stretching back over 30 years.
Over that time, buying habits have changed radically. It's only in the last ten years or so that consumers have switched wholesale to researching and buying online, where ads targeted carefully at a point closer to the actual buying decision have more impact. A study focussed on just the last decade might throw up some very different findings.


text: Double penetration is rare among SCORE Girls as it is among any other group of women. Very few go down that road. Some polls point to as few as 4% of all women trying a DP. While some like Christy Marks and Brittany O'Neil have done the deed with two men at the same time, they weren't double-penetrated by them. It takes a sexual explorer not only to do it but to do it on-camera. German SCORE Girl and sexual adventuress Annina once explained her attraction to DP in 2009. "It's so tight. I feel so full!" Annina told us. "My pussy is stretched around a cock, and my ass is stretched around another cock, and I feel like I am totally filled up. When one cock is going in, the other cock is going out, then the other way around." Holly Halston (My Wife Your Meat) and Daphne Rosen (Boob Science) are well-known for their DP scenes. The great Cassandra was DP'ed by two Brit studs in September '02 SCORE. Jasmine Black was DP'ed in April '09 SCORE. But that's been it until now. Exotic dancer Stephanie Stalls started modeling for SCORE in late 2009 and has moved past flying solo with spread pink and toys to slide into full-sex on-camera and then into anal sex in 2010. Now for the first time, Stephanie blows past another sex marker with a DP of her own, taking on two cocks, one in her pussy, the second in her butt. We knew Stephanie was a wild and randy one but we didn't know how very wild she is until now. Witness Stephanie in the hottest coupling she's ever done at SCORELAND and that's saying a lot considering the scenes she's had the past two years! Show Steph some love and let her know what you think of her first DP.

Are Economic Jitters Hurting Cruise Sales?
In the midst of continuing economic jitters, cruise lines are offering an unusually high number of discounts and tactical promotions this fall. Should travel sellers be worried about a softening market, or are the promotions driving more business?The ongoing bad news about the economy, exacerbated by poor job numbers, a rock-and-roll stock market and this summer's downgrading of the U.S. credit rating, has most everyone, including travel sellers, a little on edge."The biggest problem right now is uncertainty about the economy, even among people who have money to spend," said consumer behavior expert Lars Perner, assistant professor of clinical marketing at the University of Southern California. "There's fear that things could get worse." Aggressive discountingTravel Market Report spoke to a number of travel agents who noted a high number of targeted promotions and early booking discounts over the past few weeks. "There's a very unusual amount of discounting going on right now, especially for the whole winter season," said Henry Wiseberg, CTM, president of Talk of the Town Travel, a TRAVELSAVERS agency in Toronto. "We're even seeing some discounting for 2013, which is highly unusual."
Dwain Wall, senior vice president and general manager for CruiseOne and Cruises Inc., agreed. "We are seeing more tactical discounting through repeat customer special promotions, early booking discounts for 2012 and onboard credits."Wall said the fact that cruise lines are trying to fill ships earlier is a symptom of a soft market.Sees no downturnMichelle Fee, CTC, president and CEO of Cruise Planners/American Express, said she too is noticing more early bird discounts than usual, especially from luxury lines.
But Fee said she didn't see the moves as an indicator that sales are off, nor has Cruise Planners experienced a recent dip in bookings. "They're trying to front-load 2012. So they're giving a little bit more value-add to get money on bookings earlier on in the year."Usual, not so usualIn fact, it is customary for cruise lines to offer specials this time of year to fill empty berths for the remainder of the calendar year. But this time around cruise lines are extending those discounts and upgrades into 2012, and that's atypical, said agents, who also commented on the number of short-sales in the market.The promotions are across the market, from contemporary and premium brands through to luxury and even river cruises, including from lines that don't typically discount. Short-term plungeCruise sales are currently "going strong" at San Marin Travel, a Signature agency in Chino Valley, Ariz., said owner Mike Hannan. But this summer business came to a grinding halt right after the news of the downgraded credit rating broke in early August. "There were no phone calls or emails from clients for the next five days," he said. "I contacted some clients who had been talking about planning something, but was told those plans were now on the back burner. "Then, five days later, the floodgates opened, so it must have been just a temporary reaction to the news," said Hannan, whose agency does two-thirds of its business in cruise.Lingering concernsIn fact, the agency has more cruises booked for 2012 than it has ever had for an ensuing year before. Still, Hannan said he is not complacent."Next year looks strong, but there is still a great deal of concern about high unemployment and the real estate market. So I think that business would be even stronger if it weren't for those concerns," he said. 'Uncomfortably quiet'Wes Rowland's agency also experienced soft bookings after the credit rating news. Business has not yet picked up, said Rowland, president of CruiseExperts.com, an Ensemble-member agency in Visalia, Calif.
"We actually had a reasonably strong August, but the first couple of weeks of September have been uncomfortably quiet," he said. "The booking climate is a tough read for us right now. We're just trying to figure out how and what it takes to get things moving."According to Wiseberg, people are booking shorter cruises than usual. "Because of the economy, some people are reluctant to stay away very long from their business. Four-and five-day cruises are more popular now," he said. Cruise promotions welcomeSome travel sellers said they appreciated the recent spate of cruise promotions, which they credit with sparking last-minute business. "While yields may be lower on these last-minute rates, these are sales we may not have had in the first place if not for the attractive pricing. Early bird offers always get the phones ringing," said Denis Lim, president of Vancouver-based CruiseExperts Travel, a Signature agency.Fee commented that "any time there's a good promotion out there it gives us a story to tell. People love to see that they get some kind of value-add."Cruise line strategiesAre tactical promotions from the cruise lines working? At Cunard Line, a three-day sale earlier this month promoting the line's Feel Famous Fares, prompted a 25% increase in call center volume during the sale, according to Brian O'Connor, director of marketing and public relations."We are offering some inviting deals through a variety of channels and are pleased with our repeat and first-timer booking pace for 2011," he said. Seabourn, which has tripled its capacity since 2009, had a one-week, close-in sale in progress last week. The luxury line has offered "the best fares we've ever offered during the past three years," said spokesman Bruce Good. He added that Seabourn is "starting to move away from this.""A close-in sale is unusual for us, as our strategy is to push bookings out further by offering generous savings for out in the future."Good said that while luxury cruise lines like Seabourn have historically weathered recessionary times better than others, "It's now a brave new world, so it's hard to say how history will hold up. We are managing to fill the ships — and that's our goal."New pricing approachAt Crystal, newly reduced fares reflect a new tiered approach to pricing, said Jack Anderson, vice president of sales and marketing.
The line is offering bonus savings on about half of its 2012 sailings. "Our motivation and strategy was to put out as early as possible for the entire year of 2012 our very best, most aggressive pricing," Anderson said. Coincidentally, Crystal's lower fares appeared in the market the first week of September, the same week several agents said they noticed a dip in sales. Crystal said it plans to raise some of those prices on Oct. 31. The line will then advertise the new pricing as being the lowest available until Dec. 31, when prices will go up again. Anderson said he hadn't noticed current softness in the marketplace. but he anticipated that consumers will be more cautious about spending next year – thus the drive to obtain next year's bookings now."Any cruise line executive will tell you that election years are very, very tough years," he said. "For whatever reason, that's a huge anchor in terms of people making commitments for travel plans."
There's a very unusual amount of discounting going on right now, especially for the whole winter season. We're even seeing some discounting for 2013.
Henry Wiseberg, Talk of the Town Travel
How is the never-ending bad economic news affecting consumer spending, particularly when it comes to discretionary items such as cruises? Consumer behavior expert Lars Perner said that a general climate of economic uncertainty is reigning in spending, even among those who can afford indulgences. In some cases, it is out of sympathy for those less fortunate, said Perner, assistant professor of clinical marketing at University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "There are many people in a position to take advantage of travel bargains, but who aren't doing so because they have a sense of guilt," he said. "It's an emotional connection — they are mindful of their neighbors who can't afford to take a cruise."On a more optimistic note, he noted that the length of the economic downturn has created pent-up demand for travel.Sees upswingDespite the economy, there is a noticeable uptick in leisure travel this fall, said Peter Yesawich, chairman and CEO of Ypartnership, an Orlando-based company that researches leisure travel trends. A recent Ypartnership survey found a net 3% increase in the number of adults planning at least one leisure trip between September 2011 and December 2011, compared to the same period last year."Vacations are a birthright, so demand should remain strong unless we double-dip into another recession," he said. Still, consumers are increasingly concerned about travel costs and are shopping aggressively to get the best deals they can, Yesawich noted. "Travel sellers should be prepared to counsel their clients on the best deals and values as their clients will expect nothing less," he said.Are the cruise deals currently available likely to translate into increased sales? "Good deals always motivate consumers," Yesawich said. But, he cautioned, "the challenge today is making consumers aware of them without cannibalizing the higher fare revenues from consumers who aren't."Travel sellers should expect continued last-minute booking decisions on cruises and other types of leisure travel. "Fully 30% of U.S. leisure travelers took a last-minute trip last year in which they booked their trip just seven days prior to arrival."
As the interest in river cruises continues to grow, travel agents might want to check out barge cruises—a different kind of experience for clients who want to return to the river.

National Infertility Week - Is this the game of Life you thought you would find yourself in?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 04-22-2011 - 8:17pm
Infertility Awareness Week starts April 24th (Easter). Sadly infertility is still something that many people are not aware is a problem. For so many people in this world getting pregnant is a when, not an if. With so little understanding it is up to us to pave the way and help others realize that what we struggle through is very real.
So with that I decided the topic to discuss this be would have to do with where you see yourself now. Most of us have played the game of life. You go to school, get the job, get married and a house. Then you wait to land on those "Baby Boy" or "Baby Girl" spaces. You have done everything right, have money saved up have a good house. But while other peoples cars fill up it is still just a pink and a blue peg in yours. So the question is, how do you keep going? How do you keep spinning the spinner? How do you keep moving down the road despite the fact you might not be getting what you want or thought you would? How do you cope with other people and their comments relating to your issues? How do you deal with others who's "Game of Life" is going in a different way then yours.
Sometimes answering these questions not only helps others but helps ourselves. Sharing is a way of therapy, it helps us admit and let go of some of our sadness. I am sure, when we reach the end of our road, we will have the answers. Or at least some of them. And I certainly hope that our cars are filled with the extra pink and blue pegs, no matter where they come from.

Schools: Columbia University
Columbia University's Teachers College requires students to demonstrate a "commitment to social justice" and employs "dispositions," which it defines as "observable behaviors that fall within the law and involve the use of certain skills," to evaluate students. These dispositions, "expected of Teachers College candidates and graduates" and "assessed at each transition point," include "Respect for Diversity and Commitment to Social Justice." FIRE criticized these and other requirements in several letters to Columbia University and Teachers College, arguing that evaluating students according to their commitment to an officially defined ideal is a violation of a student's right to decide for himself or herself what is and is not socially just. Teachers College President Susan Fuhrman told FIRE that the policy would be reevaluated, but there has been no change in this policy.

Teachers College 'Conceptual Framework'
Campus Alert: Think like us–or else
June 4, 2007
Columbia University's Teachers College is one of America's most prestigious education schools. For many students, it's probably the best—but not if you don't buy the school's definition of "social justice." Teachers College evaluates students in part on the basis of so-called "dispositions," defined as "observable behaviors" that "involve the use of certain skills." One "disposition" is the student's "Respect for Diversity and Commitment to Social Justice." This warps the discussion of whether a student might make a good teacher into whether that student has the "correct" personal, religious or political beliefs. Evaluating students' aptitude for teaching based on their commitment […]» Read More
Social justice and political orthodoxy
March 30, 2007
Columbia University has had more than its share of free-speech controversies over the last academic year, including a student melee that ended a speech by the founder of the Minuteman Project and a short-lived attempt to punish a sports club for using a rude word. One controversy, however, seems to have left the administration particularly puzzled: Why, they seem to be asking, would anyone object to Columbia Teachers College's requirement that students demonstrate their "commitment to social justice?" After all, doesn't everyone agree that social justice is a good thing? Since at least 2003, Teachers College has maintained a policy […]» Read More
Quick Hits: Columbia University ignores objections to thought reform amid free speech controversy
November 7, 2006
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is calling on Teachers College—Columbia University's graduate school of education—to abandon its ideological litmus tests for students. These policies are manifestly inconsistent with Teachers College's written promises of free speech and academic freedom as well as with Columbia President Lee Bollinger's recent statements on the importance of free expression at Columbia University. Teachers College's Conceptual Framework, which represents the "philosophy for teacher education at Teachers College," requires students to possess a "commitment to social justice." Moreover, students are expected to recognize that "social inequalities are often produced and perpetuated through systematic discrimination […]» Read More
Silence From Teachers College
April 16, 2008
When Teachers College President Susan Fuhrman told FIRE last May that the school would be taking another look at the language used to describe its evaluative criteria, naturally we took her at her word. After all, we figured that Fuhrman likely became President of what is arguably our nation's most prestigious education school by keeping the interests of her students front and center. Therefore, it only made sense that she would want to reform Teachers College's troubling reliance on ideologically charged "dispositions" in assessing student performance after being informed of the problem with doing so. Here's a quick recap, taken […]» Read More
FIRE in 'The New York Times' on Free Speech at Columbia
October 23, 2006
Columbia University's recent struggles with free speech were covered in the pages of The New York Times on Sunday, with an article concentrating on questions about Columbia President Lee Bollinger's commitment to free speech on campus. In the article, FIRE President Greg Lukianoff points out that while Bollinger's public statements endorse free speech, questions remain as to whether Bollinger can "walk the walk" when it comes to issues of free expression on campus. FIRE is continuing its efforts to ensure that Columbia lives up to Bollinger's promises of freedom of thought and expression with a follow-up letter sent to the […]» Read More
A Columbia expert on free speech is accused of speaking too softly
October 22, 2006
Lee C. Bollinger, the president of Columbia University, is a natural in the classroom, guiding undergraduates through the intricacies of the First Amendment. Here he is, pacing, jacketless, playing the role of a politician who wants to ban pornography: Would it be constitutional, he asks his students? How would he justify the limits on free speech? He presses on, as a politician might, proclaiming, "I really think we should eliminate certain viewpoints from society." Some students start to laugh. "Why don't we do that?" he asks. There is probably no university chief in America more steeped in issues of free […]» Read More

Letting the PC slip show
October 13, 2006
You've probably never heard of Teachers College, but it has profoundly affected your life and is now affecting your children's lives. TC is the graduate school of education at Columbia University and laboratory of most of the "reforms" that have corroded K-12 education over the past 50 years. New math, whole language, open classrooms, outcome-based education — you name the fad and it probably originated in Morningside Heights in New York. Teachers College is the most influential graduate education program in the country, and like so many leading schools, it is probably irredeemably PC. Still, Columbia University professes to uphold […]» Read More
Merit at Columbia
October 12, 2006
Staff Editorial What a juxtaposition — the same week that Columbia University is celebrating merit in the form of the Nobel prize in economics awarded to Professor Edmund "Ned" Phelps, Columbia's Teachers College is coming under justified criticism for deriding merit, favoring instead a kind of left-wing indoctrination. If that sounds like an overstatement, we invite you to check out the "conceptual framework" for Teachers College that is available for download at the Teachers College Web site. It states, "Social inequalities are often produced and perpetuated through systematic discrimination and justified by societal ideology of merit, social mobility, and […]» Read More
University policy draws fire from free-speech advocates
October 12, 2006
Columbia University's Teachers College is being criticized by free-speech advocates, who are charging that the school's "Conceptual Framework," the document that shapes curricula and guides instruction and student assessment, amounts to an ideological litmus test. The Conceptual Framework lists a number of "dispositions" essential for future teachers such as a "respect for diversity and commitment to social justice," according to the school's Web site. Students' dispositions are evaluated by faculty members "at multiple decision points." A spokesman for Teachers College, Joseph Levine, denied that students are graded on their beliefs. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, an educational free […]» Read More

Last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Maya Rudolph gave him the exclusive scoop about her new baby and boy, was it a shocker! We are proud to announce that Maya is definitely having a... human. Good to know!
Also on Fallon, Nick Offerman delved right into the Ron Swanson Burger. Now I'm hungry.
And then on The Daily Show, Kristen Wiig stopped by and made the one observation that no one else had: part of the audience for the show is right behind the guest so the audience can't see their face. I hope most of the guests have their shirts tucked in or else those audience members are getting a moon view, if you know what I mean. No, you can't see Kristen Wiig's butt crack.

This is a great looking jacket and my son thinks he is the coolest in it. It is warm in even the coldest NE weather and has some cool features for snowboarding that we don't even know how to use! However, just the other day I noticed that the stitching had come undone and half the hood was hanging off. The wearer of the jacket for the past 2 months, my 8 year old son, is like any other boy his age (more or less). Recess is serious business and jackets are on and off...but for a hood to come away this fast on a Burton coat is just poor! I am pretty dissatisfied with the jacket at this point due to this one particular but important flaw.
My son is VERY hard on his clothes and this coat is AWESOME!!!! Red just so happens to be his favorite color and is easily seen in crowds (which is one reason why I bought it). It is warm and wears well. True to size and color on the web page. I am VERY, VERY pleased with my purchase. Thank you Moosejaw. Jennifer

STEM | News
Next school year Waco (TX) ISD will pilot a new STEM curriculum for pre-K students, developed in concert by Accelerate Learning and Rice University.
Called STEMscopes Early Explorer, the curriculum is designed to foster critical reasoning skills in twelve modules, each with its own focus area, hands-on and online activities, and wrap-up questions.
The pilot at Waco will run for one year across the district's 15 elementary campuses, which will each have access to the online curriculum, activity kits, supplementary print materials, and summer training with ongoing support.
"We've talked and complained because the state does not see the critical value of pre-K education, and has [only] funded half-day," said Superintendent Bonny Cain in a statement. "Our children need more than half a day, so we always look for alternative sources." Rice University and Accelerate Learning hope to use the data gleaned from Waco ISD's pilot to expand its reach and offer STEMscopes Early Explorer nationwide.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

this point is speculation.=C2=A0
Osama has become the symbol of al Qaeda, even though the degree to which
he commanded the organization was questionable.=C2=A0 Since his capture

Afghanistan, he had very little capability, if any to issue order to

It is difficult to understand what this means at this moment, but it
opens the door for the Obama Administration to claim victory, at least
partially, over al Qaeda and opens the door for beginning withdrawal
from Afghanistan, regardless of the practical impact of his death.=C2=A0
The mission there was to defeat al Qaeda, and with his death, a
plausible claim can be made. Again speculatively, it will be interesting
to see how this effects U.S. strategy thre.
Equally possible is that this will trigger action by al Qaeda in his
name.=C2=A0 We do not know how viable al Qaeda is or how deeply
compromised it was.=C2=A0 But it is unlikely that al Qaeda= is so
compromised that it cannot take further action.
At this early hour, the only thing possible is speculation on its
consequences and that speculation is inherently flawed. Still, the
importance of his death is its consequences.=C2=A0 Certainly one
consequen= ce will be a sense of triumph in the United States. To
others, this will be another false claim by the United States. For
others it will be a call to war.=C2=A0 We know little beyond what we
have been told, but we know it matters.

I have two weeks in order to get back with the Library to tell them whether or not we can do this demo. I realize that it is the same weekend as another very popular event and we have another demo the weekend before. However, if there is interest and the volunteers for the Arlington Library demo than we will do it, if not, than we will not do the demo this year, or any other year. Please email me by September 7th to let me know if you can commit to this event. I need the following... A&S organizer: This person will organize the exhibitors before and during the demo. I hope to have at least 3 exhibitors. Children's Activities organizer: They should come up with 2 to 3 activities for children to do and arrange for one other person to help them. Rapier Marshall: Self explanatory, but they should also be able to entertain and educate the crowd. I would like for the Rapier Marshall to arrange for at least two if not four fighters. The Marshall should not be one of the fighters. They should also prepare a little tutorial of the different aspects of Rapier and the equipment required. Chivalric Marshall: Self explanatory, but they should also be able to entertain and educate the crowd. They need to arrange for at least four fighters to demonstrate. It would also be nice to have one class where the visitors can learn the different parts of the armour and basically what we do. Waterbearer's. I have a WIC, but we need volunteers to help her. If you attend the event and are not currently helping out elsewhere, you will be volunteered to help the waterbearer. I hope that we can get the help we need to put this event on and make it a success. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

Arguments were made about superannuation and the strain on healthcare. But there was a deeper message: young people (women in particular) are failing in their civic duty to reproduce. Apparently, gen Y is to blame for the inverted population pyramid.
There were hundreds of people in the room but only a handful under 30. As one of the under 30-crowd, I shuffled nervously, hoping no one would recognise me - and my empty womb - as the deeply unpatriotic and traitorous felons that we are.
After Rudd came off stage, he spoke to me and the few other under-30s (we had congregated for strength in numbers). He extended his points about the problems with the ageing population and the financial problems gen Y will incur when the baby boomers become pensioners.
At that point one of my friends introduced me, dropping in that I am completing a PhD. At this, Rudd rolled his eyes and in a terse voice lacking any sense of irony remarked that is the "excuse" that "all" young women are using nowadays to avoid starting families. Since then I've come up with numerous one-line retorts, but in the moment I just froze in shock.
...I can't imagine how a politician, someone who should theoretically be a master of political correctness and choosing his words carefully, would say something so horrendously stupid. Yep, women choosing to further their education is really just an excuse to get out their Ultimate Duty of Making Babies. Not because of, you know, the pursuit of knowledge, a passion for research, the desire to teach others, the excitement of discovery, the satisfaction of exploration, or the joy of personal fulfillment. Nope, it's because we don't want to patriotically pop out babies for the motherland.
Another annoying part is that multiple factors make many women feel like motherhood and academia just don't mix. How can you balance morning sickness with field work? How can you do lab work with dangerous chemicals that you're not allowed to use? How are you expected to write your thesis when you're taking care of an infant? These are all daunting challenges.
Are women getting their PhDs with the nefarious plan that they can use these things as excuses to avoid reproduction? Of course not. Plenty of women want to have children, but put it off because they feel it's impossible in the current academic environment. The solution isn't to stop women from getting their PhDs. What we need to do is develop ways to make motherhood easier for academics. Make day cares more available at Universities. Make pregnancy leave a viable option for grad students. Take pregnancy into account when evaluating publications when I woman is up for tenure. Encourage men to spend more time with their children, rather than assuming that's mom's job.
Many women have survived grad school and motherhood simultaneously because they had appropriate accommodations. This should be a cause Rudd can rally against: I mean, all he wants us to do is breed, right? He won't care if we happen to get a little smarter at the same time.
