Do what works for you. If you dilute after the boil you are diluting gravity and bitterness. If you figure your grain and hops for the final volume instead of what you are starting with you will end up pretty close. You will likely get less bitterness because of lower utilization rates in higher gravity worts. I cut a batch down last night.

Outlaws and gunfighters -- doesn't every family need a few colorful characters in it's history? I haven't found any real James Gang connections yet, but -- Ther's a chap named Charles Ray "Pony" Diehl / Deal that appears to be more than just legend, reportedly a former member of the John Kinney Gang, Diehl joined the Jesse Evans Gang during New Mexico's Lincoln County War. Afterwards, he went to Arizona and joined the Clanton "Red Sasch" Cow-boys. He was sought after by Wyatt Earp during the Earp Vendetta Ride but wasn't found. He claimed to have killed Johnny O'Rourke in 1882, after O'Rourke allegedly killed his friend, Johnny Ringo. There is even a Wikipedia entry for "Pony Diehl". Now, if you like to play with those seven degrees of Kevin Bacon games, and it seems that most of us do just that, intentionally or not, well, Pony Deal was a friend of Johnny Ringo (John Peters Ringo, b May 3, 1850), and Ringo was a boyhood neighbor & contemporary of the James boys, and a cosuin of Cole Younger. So there is a slight connection of a Dihel to the James Gang. I don't know about George W ... Notify Administrator about this message?

How can I afford to stay home with my baby?
I want to be a stay-at-home mom more than anything in the world. Even though I know I have to work for financial reasons, I can't help wishing my life were different, being depressed, crying all the time, being jealous of my friends who stay home, and fighting with my husband every day about not wanting to leave our 8-month-old. This is ruining our marriage, but I don't know how to just accept it. Please help!

I know how you feel. I only got to spend 2 short weeks with my son before I had to go back to work full time because I was on bed rest my whole pregnancy and we just could not afford for me to be home any longer. I cried every day for a couple weeks but was comforted in the fact that my mother was taking care of him while I was at work. Just a couple weeks ago my family had to move to MN:( Had a horrible experience taking him to daycare, pulled him out within 4 days. I work in a hospital so now I am going to work a 3pm-11pm shift so that he does not have to go to daycare at all. I will not be home at night to spend time with my husband as much but it is the price I have to pay. You will figure out something to make things work... all mommies do:) It may take a couple trial and errors, it did for me, but you will make it. Keep your head up and options open. Night shifts are rough but at least you get to me home with the baby when he is awake. He may never know you are gone:)posted 04/08/2012 by proud2bmrsmatthes
I used to have a full time job and I quit my job when baby was born because it was too much for me. I planned on working part time. like 5 hours a day. and the baby could be 5 hours by a baby sitter. this way you get the good of both worlds. Its very hard to be all day with a crying baby. A 5 hour break is a great thing. you go out working for 5 hours. and have a good babysitter take over for a while and you come back a refreshed mom. I would never want to stay home all day. But I ended up not finding a part time job and someone offered me to babysit their baby (not really my dream job-but this worked out )so now I became a babysitter for the time being. and now I have 3 babies every day. plus my own so its 4. so this is my part time job and Im home with my baby all day. In my oppinion its better to be away from your child a few hours a day. my baby wants to breastfeed all day and wants me to hold her, and I just have to ignore her sometimes and let her cry. its just so hard.posted 04/01/2012 by dafny31
Hello Mothers and Mothers to be, Are you struggling with kids and work and daycare expenses. Are your priorities all jumbled up. I was introduced to this work at home oppourtunity and I am so excited to share this with you because I can relate to the struggles. I understand if you have doubts about this being legit all I can say is check for yourself. I am working with a partner who has been in the business for 17 years and has changed my life already. There is no door to door or any selling. The membership is only $1.00 only up until the 3/15/2011 after that the membership fee will be $29.00 and this is a one time fee. Ladies please take my word, I have 4 children and this has helped me out tremedously. If you are interested please send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and put Work from home Inquiry in the subject or you can comment here on this post with any questions and I will be able to give you more detailed information as well as let you speak to my partner.Hope you choose to do this as I did, It changed my life.Thanks for reading.posted 03/08/2012 by Kyotie
To the assistance lady: Nobody was belittling you, but you are sending mixed information. On the one hand you say you're not choosing it, and on the other you're advocating it, talking about it like it's maternity leave, and suggesting other people look into assistance programs as well. And I feel that message is wrong. Assistance is for those who need it, not for those who prefer it, like you seem to. I'd love to have more time with my kids too, but we cannot afford it, so I work. Perhaps you should as well.posted 02/27/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Not trying to belittle anyone. I'm glad that there is assitance to help people who need it. I don't know your particular circumstance. I understand that being single with two children is a tight predicament. I'm only saying that people should not depend on assistance if it isn't absolutely necessary. If it is necessary than by all means do what you have to do. I know plenty of women in my area that don't work (who are capable) and rely on assistance to live. They have made it a lifestyle and I don't think that's fair. If the day comes that my husband earns enough for me to stay home without relying on others to provide for us then I will. Otherwise I'll keep doing what I have to do too.posted 02/26/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Ummm actually to the "anonymous" person that feels they need to try to belittle me and that thinks it's wrong to get government assistance: I did not "choose" to live off of assistance.. you have no idea who you are even talking to.. do you know me, and my family, and our situation?? Absolutely not. I am in a very tough situation and that is my only option right now... and also, the state of Washington WANTS mothers to stay home with their children for the first year of their life and that is WHY they don't require me to do any work right now to collect cash assistance... There is absolutely nothing wrong with what I am doing... if you are unhappy with your life, CHANGE IT.. don't take it out on people like me who are happy with how we choose to do things to stay home with our babies!!posted 02/26/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Must be nice to choose to live off government assistance and feel no problem with it. Suggesting that people quit their jobs to have taxpayers support them and their children is insane. I would love to stay home with my kids too, but that would mean going on welfare and I am not going to place the burden of supporting us financially on everyone else. I know that sometimes people need assistance and I even know a few families where both parents work, but still qualify for medical or food stamps, but to choose to make that your lifestyle is wrong on so many levels.posted 02/26/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I left a job working a lot of hours for a lot of money, to a job working with my husband for about half my income. Still working full-time and I hate it. However when my daughter crawled for the first time, I was there, she took her first steps yesterday, I was there. I try to spend as much quality time with her as I can. My world pretty much revolves around her when I'm home. I work with her since I don't think the baby sitter does. So it has been very rewarding to be the first to see her do all this. I think Quality of time is more important than Quantity. However if I can find away to cut down my hours at work, I will be even happier. Good luck everyone.posted 02/26/2012 by Twiggy10
I am a single stay at home mom of a 2 year old and a 1 year old. We live on state assistance for the time being.. and i have absolutely no problem doing so... I will start making my own income within the next few months.. but I feel like it is important for me to be home with my kids while they are so young. Look into your states assistance... I get food stamps and TANF.. My state provides cash assistance up until your baby is 1 year old, and in my case extended it another 6 months for some reason. Good Luck!posted 02/24/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
This is a problem so many women have and it is just heartbreaking to see women I know having to choose between work and their family. There are things you can do so that you won't have to work long hours for the whole of you child's life. Starting your own business has never been easier, and if you start an internet business you can work hours to suit you, and still make a great wage! I'm helping to write a guide to help people start online businesses, you can sign up free for the nest few weeks at www.31days2.com. You don't have to work all the hours God sends to have enough money to look after your children. Work for yourself and make your own decisions about your family's future :-)posted 02/24/2012 by hfmj

Olafur Arnalds On World Cafe
World Cafe's Sense of Place: Iceland guest today is a busy man. Composer and musician Ólafur Arnalds creates beautiful, sweeping neoclassical music, perfect for the soundtracks that have won him high praise. He's been in especially high demand since winning a BAFTA award for his musical contributions to the British TV series Broadchurch.
Arnalds joins the show with his band at the studios of Iceland's Rás 2 radio station to play a set in front of a group of World Cafe Travel Adventurers. His latest album, For Now I Am Winter, was recorded with a string ensemble; it also marks the first time his largely instrumental works have featured vocals. It's a marked contrast to his past projects, Found Songs and Living Room Songs, which relied heavily on keyboards and were recorded and released quickly.
In even deeper contrast to Arnalds' current work are his musical roots. The 27-year-old was originally the drummer in punk bands, and only got noticed for his arranging and composing because of a short intro he'd orchestrated for a German metal band.
Hear Arnalds' set and download his track "Old Skin" on this page.

Delicious Bits's Note:
This was inspired from some gourmet sausages at my favourite butchers that has won many awards (Moroccan Lamb and Raisin Sausages). I also used some of the spice mix from #63885 as a base. I love the flavours!!! Then I add all of the vegetables too, a bit like a chow mein, I guess. It freezes well too and great that it's an all in one recipe.

Eagles cut Spikes after one season in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA -- Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Takeo Spikes was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, the second high-profile player cut by the Eagles in a week.
Defensive end Jevon Kearse was let go last Thursday after playing four seasons in Philadelphia. Releasing Spikes saves the Eagles $5 million under the salary cap.
Spikes finished second on the team with 139 tackles in his only season with the Eagles. The 10-year veteran missed the final two games after having shoulder surgery in December.
The 31-year-old Spikes was acquired in a trade with Buffalo last March. Known for being a playmaker throughout his career, Spikes had no interceptions or forced fumbles in Philly.
The move likely means second-year pro Stewart Bradley will take over as the starting middle linebacker while Omar Gaither moves to the weakside spot to replace Spikes. Chris Gocong is the strongside linebacker, giving the Eagles a young group of starters. Akeem Jordan is fourth on the depth chart.
"Takeo did a really good job for us last year," Eagles coach Andy Reid said in a statement. "But we are excited about the young linebackers that have developed over the last year. We wish Takeo all the best. He's a true team player on and off the field."
A first-round pick by Cincinnati in 1998, Spikes had at least 100 tackles in each of his five seasons with the Bengals. But it wasn't until he went to Buffalo in 2003 that he got widespread recognition. Spikes had 144 tackles in '03 and 111 tackles with five interceptions in '04, making the Pro Bowl both years.
Injuries slowed Spikes in 2005 and 2006.
The Eagles have focused on improving their defense in the offseason. Philadelphia signed All-Pro cornerback Asante Samuel when the NFL's free-agency period opened last Friday, luring him away from New England with a six-year deal worth $57 million. A day later, they signed defensive end Chris Clemons.
The team made a run at All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss earlier this week, offering more money than he got to return to the Patriots. If the Eagles end up satisfying Donovan McNabb's request for an offensive playmaker, it'll probably have to come through a trade. The addition of Samuel makes two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Lito Sheppard expendable, so he can be used as trade bait for a top receiver.

There are a variety of Nikon speed lights and I'm sure other brands that have adjustable settings and sensors that allow very nice control of the flash. These can typically be used with most cameras that have a normal hot shoe or pc plug with an cord. The cords are availble off eBay and other places.
The "ugly" look is typically just poor use of the tools or older flash units without the built in sensor and auto control.
The ugly stuff comes IMO mostly in two ways, 1- when too much flash is used so that there is to big a difference in luminance between subject and background and 2- when the shot printed too light.
It takes some practice but but done well it can make big improvements in many shots.

The below code from defaults.rb always sets the puppet.conf location to be ~/.puppet/puppet.conf for the puppet user (who is also the calling user for external node classifiers).
This makes it impossible to use the parse_config call to grab config information in the node classifier.
as a work around, I had to do the following #ln -s /etc/puppet/puppet.conf /root/.puppet/puppet.conf

This is too big of a change to get into 0.25.1.
Getting this stuff right is always hard — our service user might not actually be 'puppet', so we can't just hard-code that.
Really, we need code as a default, so we can have logic to produce the right value depending on context.

14 Aug 2014
The Tank is always impressed by initiatives that turn rubbish into something more useful. The torn-up tyres that cushion children's play grounds. The fishing nets ground up into carpets. The production team at Masterchef. Heroes all.
For many, the most apposite application of this alchemist's touch may well be Roy Hodgson, although in the Tank's opinion, the beleaguered England football manager is more adept at turning silk purses into sow's ears, rather than the other way round.
Still, fans of irony - or the ironically erroneous modern usage of irony - will find something to cheer at the lastest move by the Football Association, which in its great wisdom has unveiled two lions made of reclaimed Wembley waste in the national stadium's corporate area.
Artist Faith Bebbington used cardboard, plastic cups, and even broken plastic seats to demonstrate how these materials can be re-purposed. "I loved the challenge of using a load of rubbish to make something lovely," she told WembleyStadium.com. "I feel really proud and I just want plenty of people to see them."
Leaving aside the question of whether Bebbington could do it on a wet Wednesday night at Stoke, what's in it for the FA?
Well, Wembley has been a "zero waste to landfill" venue since 2010, recycling up to 86 per cent of event day waste, and sending the rest to a waste-to-energy plant. More importantly the two lions complete a fearsome triumvirate with the recycled stainless steel lion created by artist Michael Turner currently guarding the stadium entrance.
So that's three "rubbish" lions coming hot on the heels of England's limp World Cup performance. Hmmm - The Tank can't help but wonder if the FA's zeal for upcycling could one day turn England's football team into something more effective.
02 May 2014
Back in its youth, The Tank once received a break-up phonecall from an irate lady. "But we've never even met," we insisted. "I know," came the reply, "but you're on the list for a peremptory warning in case we ever do." Still, got her phone number though - that 1471 works like a charm.
Of course, we've settled down since those heady days, and now have a water-tight pre-nup that ensures ownership of each and every one of the chocolate digestives in the flat should Mrs Tank ever feel the need to trade us in for a newer model.
But while the document covers most of the standard causes of family break-up - poor dishwasher stacking, laughable attempts at DIY, constructing forts out of the recycling - the legal eagles at Lawyers-R-Us who penned it seem to have overlooked the latest cause of marital disharmony: smog.
Yes, smog - not the brains behind the classic Dress Sexy at my Funeral - but toxic airborne particulates many of which can currently be found clogging up Chinese cities.
The effect has been most famously documented in Beijing, where one denizen is facing divorce because of poor air quality.
State media reports that the wife of a man named Wang, took their infant son away from the city to the southern resort island of Hainan to escape the fug after he developed health problems. Amazingly, she didn't enjoy life on a tropical island - or living without Wang - but she did find that she ended up fighting with her husband whenever they met.
Fed up with the situation, Wang has now filed for divorce in a Beijing court. "Smog 'buried' my son's health, and it has 'buried' my marriage," he was quoted as saying.
The Tank would like to tell everyone involved to take a good, long look at themselves; but given the state of the haze in Beijing we're not sure that's actually possible.
25 Apr 2014
Hurrah! The sun is out and so the Tank has rammed its stockinged feet into sandals, perched a hilarious 'kiss me quick' hat atop an already purpling brow and jumped on a train to the coast.
While we would usually spend the day impressing both the ladies and the local constabulary with those fraying Speedos we've proudly sported since Year 8 swim classes and kicking over children's sandcastles, this time the Tank has a new diversion. And it's not just any beach toy. No, this is an M&S beach toy.
You see, the good people at Marks and Sparks have launched a new Frisbee - a concept no doubt arising from a rather literal interpretation of a directive from on high to toss a few ideas around the boardroom.
But, as ever, there is a green spin - the Beach Clean Frisbee is made with 100 per cent recycled plastic, some of which was waste scooped from the very same beaches the disc will be lost on this summer.
Last April, M&S customers and employees helped clear 300km of coastline, with litter from six beaches segregated, cleaned and reprocessed before being transformed into Frisbee form by Leicester-based company Make a Material Difference. It all forms part of M&S's Plan A sustainability strategy, which also pioneered 'shwopping': a scheme encouraging shoppers to drop off old clothes for recycling when buying new ones.
The Frisbee is on sale for £2.50 at six 'coastal' M&S stores - Belfast (Abbey Centre), Bexhill, Lytham St Annes, Silverlink Retail Park, Weston Super Mare and Edinburgh Kinnaird - with 50p from each sale going to the Marine Conservation Society.
"We've managed to transform waste, taking it off beaches where it threatens marine life, into a brand new product that is fun for our customers and raises money for MCS' ongoing work to protect our seas," said Mike Barry, director of Plan A, while waving ravenous seagulls away from his 99 Flake. "That's Plan A in action, a volunteer event that engages customers, saves precious raw materials and gives back to charity - all with a business case behind it."
This year's M&S Big Beach Clean-up will aim to clear 140 UK beaches and canals from 24th to 30th April and aims to beat last year's 30 tonne haul - an aspiration that can only be thwarted by some clever clogs demanding a mass game of Frisbee.
21 Mar 2014
So the Tank is once again late with its increasingly erroneously named 'regular' column. We'd love to say that we were engaged in other important matters, but to tell you the truth, the paper supply we use for our missives has all but dried up now Fishcotheque has stuck a recycling bin out front for chip wrappers.
But it turns out ropey-named fast food outlets are by no means the only major businesses buying into this sustainability lark, especially when it comes to pushing the brand. Some are even going beyond carving "Fish - £3.60" into the railway arches to save on paper menus, by advertising their wares at trade shows in sustainable bamboo display units.
That's right, as anyone who's seen Rush Hour 2 will be aware, bamboo is not only strong enough to support both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, it also grows on marginal land with little or no fertilisers and takes just three to four years to grow high enough to be harvested - making it greener than aluminium, steel, most woods, and well anything else you're likely to build a trade show booth out of.
"As a business ourselves we understand the importance of being environmentally friendly and reducing our carbon footprint," said Mark Thompson, sales director of exhibition stand company PrintDesigns. "That's why we took 20 months developing this bamboo banner stand, a sustainable and greener option for commercial companies. We have created a unique product that is cost-effective, durable and attractive whilst additionally reducing environmental impact."
All of which sounds great. But the tank can't help wondering if purchasing such a stand would leave a company exposed to ravenous giant pandas, intent on devouring the structure because a cookie at the ExCeL centre costs the best part of a fiver.
And for those of you insisting you've never seen a panda at a conference - clearly you're going to the wrong events.
21 Feb 2014
Waste can take many forms. When the Tank ponders the word we imagine a life lived without risk, opportunities missed, and roads left untravelled. Others might add David Bentley's footballing career. It's probably now safe to say he's not the next David Beckham.
But for the more prosaically minded, Sutton Council waste truly is a huge mound of steaming garbage.
Council officials - we assume, anyway - this month heaped an 11-tonne, 10-foot high "mountain of rubbish" in the middle of Sutton High Street in south London to highlight how much street litter it collects every day. Clearing it up costs around £4m a year, apparently - enough to run a library service for a year, repair 100,000 potholes, or build half a primary school.
According to the council, officers, people with sandwich information boards, and - having drawn the short straw - others dressed in "litter themed costumes" were on hand to talk to passers-by about the cost to the tax payer of picking up litter, litter hotspots, and how to dispose of waste correctly.
Keep Britain Tidy's chief executive Phil Barton thundered: "It is time everyone realised the scale of the task facing local authorities like Sutton in keeping the places we call home clean and tidy, and initiatives like this are vital if we are to educate people about the impact of their behaviour."
All very well and good. But we can't help wondering whether Sutton council has rather given the green-light for any Tom, Dick or Harry to chuck a large amount of bothersome rubbish in their local high street and claim it's a 'waste-saving initiative'.

Newton County's 26th annual celebration of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday at Newton High School's Porter Memorial Auditorium.
If you've been cooped up all week by the ice and cold, the Covington Family Y is staging an open house on Saturday that can help you get moving again.
Climatologists had predicted a warmer-than- average winter, but that hasn't quite been the case. Changing weather patterns have caused a series of Arctic blasts to blow through Georgia bringing record cold and abundant snowfall.
The cost of this week's winter weather won't be fully known until next week, but Covington has spent at least $26,718 this week on labor and materials.
U.S. Rep. Austin Scott (R-Macon) has been making the national media rounds the past two weeks, sharing his views on the upcoming year after being voted president of the largest Republican Congressional freshman class in U.S. history.
Keep Covington/Newton Beautiful has received $1,000 from Keep America Beautiful, part of a nationwide effort sponsored by Nestlé Waters North America to encourage plastic bottle recycling during the 2010 Great American Cleanup.

The SalaryMan
An indirect Sequel to "The Artist" shows the life of the salaryman
4.44 / 5.00 6,378 ViewsCornelius & Toots 4
Cornelius & Toots are back, and a Haunted House Ride seems a little spookier than usual!
4.46 / 5.00 2,049 ViewsEverything comes to a head in this chapter as a grief stricken Trixi confronts her personal demons amidst an epic battle between General Werner's army and the Giants.
Good build up of tension
What I most appreciated was wondering how the friendly giant was going to react to seeing one of its dead tinkered with. Maybe it thought they'd had the decency to bury it. Regardless, while seeing it come to the rescue wasn't a huge surprise, your last episode really made me wonder.
The Capital Ship was a nice touch.
Very good
I like the graphics the most, but it kinda looks like you tried to hurry up on this flash. Take your time. Thats the key
This chapter was really good; I liked the war part and when the new units for the Giants came in. I was also happy when that one general dude (can't remember name) died. Though he's gone the war's still probably will go on and Mr.Tinker following them. You'll get another review from me in chapter 18.
Great and epic like the others.
I liked this episode as I like the others. The whole plot is an interesting interpretation of fearing and attacking the unknown. But it certainly proves that the giants weren't intentionally attack because the reinforcements showed they had more than enough power to defeat them.
Similar to others, the animation is fairly consistent but there are some physics and movements that seem unnatural almost. For instance the very end when he was burning up. Seemed a bit too fast. But thats not the worst thing a flash could have. This was one of my favorites in the whole series.

I stayed in a single room, and it was good value for money considering the average price, the hostel is spacious, there is space to hang out, the bathroom is great and the staff is very nice. The only thing was that there is no window at the room. But maybe that's too much to ask for :) All in all, I'd definitely recommend if you are backpacking around and looking for a cheap place to stay!

It's OK for basic budget accommodations. Dorm bed was comfortable, air conditioning worked fine, noise level was OK for busy street. Walls are in need of a fresh coat of paint. There's only two toilets and one working shower for the entire second floor, water pressure is somewhat low. Management needs to close the place for a week to repaint, install a second shower and more lockers. IMPORTANT: confirm your rate if booking thru hostelworld; management initially refused to honor the rate.

Contrary to what some may believe, being gay doesn?t sever a person from morality. I am not out to convert anyone, recruit anyone, and I am not preying on children, but I am supposedly?
?the greatest threat to America?
Everyone that tries to tell me that being a homosexual is wrong is relying on one thing, their religious beliefs. It seems to be nearly impossible to divorce any discussion about the rightness or wrongness of homosexuality from religion, because when you do, the people against it have nothing to base their argument on, and any good debater will tell you that you don?t win a debate by bringing God into it because it?s a cop out. God is all mighty, he can do anything, so any argument against that is moot. It comes down to biblical passages written by men who were ?under the influence of God? and ?can?t be wrong?. Can someone name me one living human being that isn?t ever wrong about something? How about naming one human being that isn?t living that was never been wrong about something, and yes I know that the first answer to that question is going to be Jesus Christ, but then in John 10:30 Jesus says?
Does that mean that Jesus wasn?t human after all?
National Orginization for Marriage
I Love New York
Congratulations to the state of New York for standing up for the civil rights of it's people. Marriage Equality has passed the state Senate 33-29. The bill passed the state Assembly earlier this week and amendments created by the Senate were passed earlier today 80-49.
The Anti-gay group National Organization for Marriage is calling it a huge GOP betrayal. Commenters on their site are having a coronary. This makes New York the 6th state to allow same sex couples to marry.
NOM is now also planning to spend $2 million from donors that they refuse to disclose in violation of the disclosure laws of several states like Iowa and Maine to defeat the GOP state senators who did the right thing tonight.
Class Act
Apparently the National Organization for Marriage can't tell Kindergartners from 4th graders. Yesterday I received this email in my inbox.
See that line where Brian says…
an Oakland grade school decided to teach kindergartners about multiple genders
Trouble is, when you click on the video and watch it the Fox News reporter actually says they are 4th graders. Honest mistake or is Brian trying to scare people again?
Here is the video.
A. McEwen over at Holly Bullies has a pretty good break down of the rest of the letter and the lies that it contains. Strangely enough however is that every time someone points outs lies like this NOM and others like them play the victim card and claim that we are trying to silence them. Sort of like Newt Gingrich claiming that any news organization quoting his Meet the Press interview where he trashes the Ryan Plan is a lie.
Oh, and as for whether this material is appropriate for a forth grade class… absolutely. This is no different than showing a book or having a class teaching kids that there is nothing wrong with being White, Black, Hispanic, Red Headed, Blue Eyed, wearing glasses, being Christian, or Muslim, etc, etc.
Friday NOM-Sense: A Picard Momment
Your probably wondering what our good Captain Jean-Luc Picard has to do with this week's Friday NOM-sense. Give me a moment and I'll explain.
This week's Friday NOM-Sense article comes to us from the NOM funded Ruth Institute. In a recent quiz they asked a question in relation to a study put out by the William's Institute in December of 2007 (4 years ago). A study that relied on information from the 2000 census (10 years ago).
What percentage of US children lives in households headed by same sex couples?
And apparently the correct answer was less than 0.4%. They then go through the math of how they come up with the figure. Please note that accurate census information regarding same-sex couples wasn't collected in the 2000 census or in the 2007 snapshot. In fact, the Bush administration had ruled that same sex couples would not be counted in the 2010 census, a ruling that was overturned by the Obama administration. According to the Huffington Post article discussing Obama's decision to count same sex couples.
the issue is that some same-sex couples in civil unions or domestic partnerships already identified themselves as husbands or wives, both in the 2000 census and in the annual American Community Survey that the bureau produces each year.
Which means that in those census surveys at least some same sex couples in civil unions and domestic partnerships (the types most likely to have children) would have identified as married since there is no civil unions or domestic partnership boxes to check. That means that those couples were left out of the Williams Institute survey.
But frankly, regardless of what the actual numbers of same sex couples raising children actually are, their errors in research and math are not why this ends up being this weeks NOM-sense. At the end of the post Betsy makes this comment.
Given that less than four tenths of one percent of children is being raised in same sex households, it hardly seems unkind to say that this represents an exceptional situation. The law might justly treat this as an exception.
So apparently since only 0.4% of US children are raised by same sex couples, it's ok to bar those families from the institution of civil marriage. As if there is some magic number somewhere that says if it's this many it's ok to discriminate, if it's more than that you can't. Which brings me back to our man the Captain.
In the movie Star Trek Insurrection the Federation and the Son'a have teamed up to secretly relocate the Ba'ku from their planet against their will. When Picard figures out what is going on he confronts Admiral Dougherty who responds with.
Jean-Luc, we're only moving six hundred people.
To which Picard comes back with and with which I ask Betsy of the Ruth Institute.
How many people does it take before it becomes wrong? Hmm? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million? How many people does it take, Admiral!?
How many people does it have to be before robing them of their civil rights and human dignity is wrong?
Update: The Ruth Institute has deleted my comment where I asked them the question of how many. But that's ok, I have a screenshot.
Update 2: After asking them if the reason they deleted my question was because they didn't have an answer the put it back up. Now lets see if they actually have an answer.
Friday NOM-sense is a new weekly column at Vast Variety that tackles the lies of the National Organization for Marriage and it's affiliates because they refuse to participate in civil debate on their own blogs.
Friday NOM-sense
NOM quotes the following clip from a Chicago Tribune article discussing the recent decision by the Catholic Charities of Rockford to end their adoption and foster care programs due to the new Civil Unions law in the state of Illinois.
Benjamin Wolf, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois who represents juvenile state wards as part of a court-monitored consent decree with DCFS, said the decision was troubling, especially in Rockford where there is a high turnover of child welfare workers and racial and economic tensions.
"Rockford would not be the place I would've chosen to start these transitions," Wolf said. "I am very sorry that they would give a greater priority to their commitment to continue discriminating than the health and welfare of Illinois children."
With the following comment above it.
An ACLU lawyer basically admits that failure to provide religious protections will hurt children:
But as always NOM is twisting the truth of what Mr. Wolf said in attempt to show that some how recognizing the civil rights of gay people is a burden on Christians. NOM completely ignores the last line of the section they quoted.
I am very sorry that they would give a greater priority to their commitment to continue discriminating than the health and welfare of Illinois children
What Mr. wolf is really saying is that it is disheartening that a charity organization that provides much needed adoption and foster care services appears to feel that discriminating against the LGBT community is far more important to them than caring for children in need of a good home. NOM tries to wrap religious liberty around around their discrimination policies. The problem with this argument is that Adoption and Foster care are not religious activities. They are state controlled activities and anytime you deal with the state you have to abide by the state's non-discrimination laws, which means that they have to accept applications from Lesbians and Gays. This is no way violates the religious liberty of the organization. The religious liberty clause in the US Constitution means that your free to practice any religion you choose. It does not however give you carte blanch to use your religion as an excuse to discriminate against people.
In response to Jennifer Roback Morse's remarks to the Minnesota house I have asked them the following questions. I post a screen shot of them here since NOM and the Ruth Institute are generally not interested in open civil debate. I don't expect them to provide any answers to them.
Gay and Lesbian people exist. We always have and always will. Regardless of what NOM, the Ruth Institute, or any of the other discriminatory organizations that continue to turn our own government against us hope to achieve. Sometimes I truly wonder what their goal really is. Is it to try and somehow cure us and eliminate us? I don't think that there really is a clear answer to that question and frankly if that is the goal, it's a fool's goal because it can never be achieved. More Gay and Lesbian Americans are born everyday. Trying to rid America of us makes about as much sense as trying to get rid of everyone with red hair.
So if we aren't going away what sort of protections do we deserve if not marriage? The reality of the mater is that we do fall in love. We do have children. We do build lives and families together. We buy homes together. We go on vacations together. We worry about paying the bills together just like any other family. Is it right that when one of us dies we have no say over burial or that we have to pay gift taxes on the things we bought together as a couple? If one of us becomes sick do we not have a right to visit our partner? Should we not have any rights to the children we may have spent years raising together simply because the state won't allow us to adopt our partner's biological child?
These are questions that can't be answered by a simple contract other than that of civil marriage. Contracts other than marriage can be and often are challenged in court by family members that may not approve of the same sex relationship.
Without marriage are we just supposed to live a life without love, in solitude, and unhappiness? If you deny us marriage, then what will you allow?
