'Wannon Bid: Tess Throws her KAP in the ring '
January 22, 2013
GAY and lesbian marriage and foreign ownership of Aussie soil are at the top of the hit list for Wannon's newest Federal candidate.
Tess Corbett of Lake Bolac will challenge sitting Wannon MP, Dan Tehan, at this year's Federal election after winning
nomination for Katter's Australia Party.
It will be the first time the new federal party, founded in 2011 by Independent MP, Bob Katter, has been represented in the Wannon electorate.
Mr Katter, whose electorate is in Queensland, is a social and economic conservative who quit the National Party after he concluded that mainstream politicians had betrayed farming communities.
The main influences on Mr Katter's politics include the concept of economic protection for key industries and he has lobbied to stop the sale of state assets and to promote import tariffs.
Mr Katter has a reputation for being outspoken and has been labelled a 'maverick' and 'idiosyncratic' by News Limited newspapers and given the nickname 'Mad Katter' by the Brisbane Times.
Mrs Corbett was nominated as the KAP candidate for Wannon at the party's Victorian state conference in Bendigo this week.
Mrs Corbett joined the KAP soon after it was founded and is contesting an election for the first time.
She has previously worked as a photographic processor, a real estate agent and a community services manager.
Mrs Corbett said she would uphold the same policies as the KAP when they were applicable to Victoria and as they were adapted to an Australia-wide platform.
Many of the policies published on the KAP website appear to have been lifted directly from Mr Katter's political manifesto for representing his Queensland constituents.
Mrs Corbett's views are very much in step with Mr Katter's, including his opposition to gay marriage, which promoted
accusations of homophobia when he used it as a political issue in a Queensland election.
Mrs Corbett told The Spectator that her election campaign would centre on helping farmers.
"Politicians have really let down the heart of this country, our farmers," she said.
"Farmers hold towns like Hamilton together and provide the foundation of the economy."
Mrs Corbett said she was very concerned about foreign companies buying farms and she would prefer them to be minority share investors, rather than outright owners.
"We're just saying to foreign companies 'here, go on, take it all'," she said.
"Australia will have to import food as it all gets shipped overseas and we don't get
the profit either, as the farms are owned by foreign interests.
"If we sell all out assets, we'll have no revenue and it will be taxpayers who will make up the difference."
Mrs Corbett described Wannon MP, Dan Tehan's efforts to reform the Foreign Investment Review Board as 'not pro-active enough'.
She also pledged to support a repeal of the carbon tax, describing it as "stupid".
When the topic of the Labor Government's controversial Anti-Discrimination Bill was raised, Mrs Corbett said she was opposed to some parts of it.
"It shouldn't be illegal to offend people, because everyone would be jailed," she said.
"You should be able to speak your mind andhold an opinion. Telling somebody about your political views isn't the same as taking a swing at them."
Other parts of the Bill were more to her liking, including the employment discrimination exemption for churches and religions organisations.
"You should be able to discriminate," she said.
"I don't want gays, lesbians or paedophiles to be working in my kindergarten.
"If you don't like it, go to another kindergarten."
When asked if she considered homosexuals to be in the same category as paedophiles, Mrs Corbett replied "yes".
"Paedophiles will be next in line to be recognised in the same way as gays and lesbians and get rights," she said.
Mrs Corbett said she was not aware of Mr Katter's views on homosexuality; that her views were personal and did not necessarily reflect the KAP's official view.
There is no current, credible psychological basis for connecting homosexuality and paedophilia.
Homosexuality was reclassified as a sexual orientation by the American Psychiatric Association in 1973 and paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder.

Take-Two has revised down its annual sales forecast, but has not specified by how much. Its latest financial report also provides clues that could help determine the release date of Grand Theft Auto 5.
For the period between July and September, the company brought in $273 million; a significant increase from its performance during the same period last year ($107 million). Yet expenses pulled that to a loss of $12.4 million, compared to the $47 million profit it made a year ago.
Take-Two, like EA and many other digitally focused publishers, has challenges with presenting its full business performance under strict accounting principals. If certain deferred and digital sales are factored in, the company said it brought in about $288 million which resulted in $10 million profit.
Company chairman Strauss Zelnick said the better-than-expected revenue was "driven by the breakout success of 2K's Borderlands 2, robust demand for our catalog and digitally delivered offerings".
GTA V release date limbo
Take-Two has been cryptic in presenting its revised down full-year earnings forecast by adopting a different method of measuring performance - essentially mixing apples and oranges.
In July, the company said it would make $1.8 billion in revenue for the year ending March 31st, though it now expects to make $1.15 billion. That loss would likely be attributed to the fact that Grand Theft Auto 5 would be released after March 31st.
However, the way in which the numbers are presented adds an element of uncertainty. The $1.8 billion target previously set was measured via GAAP (generally accepted accounting principals) - a strict framework in which companies must disclose their data. Yet the revised down figure of $1.15 was presented in non-GAAP - a useful yet highly flexible manner of presenting data.
This means that, while it is highly likely GTA 5 will be released after March 31st (or very close to that date), it is not completely certain yet.
Zelnick nevertheless suggested that FY14, which begins in April, would take the lion's share of GTA sales: "Moreover, with Grand Theft Auto V slated for spring 2013, we are poised to generate substantial revenue and earnings growth in fiscal year 2014."

The Seven Principles You Need to Know to Build a Great Social Product. Social products are an interesting bird.
For even the most experienced product designer, social products prove an elusive lover. While there are many obvious truths in social products, there are also alot of ways to design them poorly. Especially when you are deep in the moment making pixel-level decisions trying to remember what's important, things may not be so clear. The only magic I've found in designing compelling social products that have the best shot at breaking through the noise and capturing people's time and money is in being extremely clear on how your social product meets a few key design principles. Game Mechanics: Sounds dry, actually fascinating.
Attended a dynamite workshop this week on Gamification, run by Gabe Zichermann.
He's written a book on it, is consulting for Google about it, and is doing a video and another book on the topic for O'Reilly, the well-regarded tech publishing house (responsible for my beloved Head First HTML/CSS book, highly recommended to anyone looking for a basic primer on website building blocks). The workshop was on game mechanics. Now, I am not a big video/computer game fan.
When I first encountered this topic, it sounded pretty dry and irrelevant: "I'm not building a game," I thought, "so I can't see how this will be of much interest."

That's the average time it takes to complete one loop, e.g. the cycle from sending out an invite to the person who was invited sending out an invite. In other words, Viral cycle time is the wavelength of viral loops. It's often overlooked (at least initially) because the focus is usually on just getting exponential. Like anything, though, there are opportunities to optimize. For example, if your viral loop is based on email (often is), you can send out varying kinds of reminders at opportune times.

This stuff is very overrated and I have tried several scents and also the one for blondes. It honestly feels dirty and makes my hair so dry and limp. I just wanted to wash it out ASAP. I've switched to Vidal Sasoon dry shampoo and am much happier. No white cast and smells better. If you want to basically spray baby powder onto you hair then buy Batiste!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I do love batiste as in the quality of the product and how it smells and makes my hair feel. BUT I tried the blonde and light one because I bleach my hair. I'm normally a dirty blonde but my hair is platinum so my roots can look pretty awful if you go one too many weeks without a touch up. I wish this color wasn't so yellow! It's more for golden blondes instead of platinum ones. I'm gonna try one of the regular ones when I'm finished with this bottle.
More reviews by honestopinions
This works, even on really greasy hair! It has lasted me quite a long time. I have done a more thorough review of the 'blush' scented Batiste which I prefer. This does not smell of much. Actually I'm not particularly keen on the scent but I dont find it offensive or overpowering.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
have used two scents of this shampoo- blush and fresh. i definitely prefer the fresh over blush scent. blush scent is too strong for my liking.
1)great volumizing effect
2)sufficient powder in a spray to absorb oil
3)cheaper than khlorane
1)leave your hair white, but not much of a problem here though
2)bad packaging, pump was damaged after using for 2 times, had to throw away the whole bottle
i really like batiste for its volumizing effect. Have tried khlorane, both have their pros and cons, but this is definitely worth the try.
Best dry shampoo, I've tried Suave, Tresseme, and a german brand (in blue bottle) and plenty more and thinkthey all suck compared to this. I've used the blush scented one and the one for dark hair and although the dark tinted one can get a bit messy I do think it is worth it. I used to have to wash my hair everyday before trying this shampoo, and that is so unhealthy for your hair! This lets me go 3 days without washing and it gives tons of volume too.
More reviews by JohanneKristensen
Love this dry shampoo and have bought this product over and over again.
I try to wash my hair only a few times a week, but I have hair that easily gets greasy and Batiste is amazing for making that dull greasy hair look volumnious and clean.
It's cheap and you can get those large 400 ml bottles that lasts quite some time.
I have tried a few of them and yes, they are perfumed but nothing that doesn't disapear within a few minutes.
I'm crazy about this product.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this stuff!
I decided not to wash my hair every day, so getting a good dry shampoo was a must as my hair gets very oily sometimes. I tried loads of dry shampoos on the market and the only one I like and use is the Batiste one!
I have two of them, floral one and cherry one, both are very good, I only like the cherry smell a bit more. It is white, but not insanely white like other shampoos on the market, so it´s easy to brush out with no silver marks on my dark hair (would love to try the dark one as well after I use up the ones I have now). These shampoos are the only ones that doesn´t make my hair feel like chalk which I love! My hair stays nice to touch but with no oil and with beautiful, pleasant smell (which Dove dry shampoo sure doesn´t have as it´s overpowering my Guerlain perfume). Last thing I like is that the bottle doesn´t get blocked after a time of using.
Overall, I love this dry shampoo, the value is great and would sure buy again.
Despite the hype I was kinda disapointed with this dry shampoo.
Doesn't do a very great job, leaves a fairly white cast and the smell.... the smell, people... it's so overwhelming. Very powdery, old-lady-perfume scent (talking about the original one). I just found that when I used this on second day hair, the roots would still look rather greasy. Not a big fan, unfortunately.

I've heard a lot about this product as I did my research, so it was a pleasant surprise when I came across it in Toronto. I have brown and very thin hair so oil is a big nono.The packaging is super cute and I purchased it for 8$ at a WINNERS. I am aware that there is a variety of scents, but I bought BLUSH which I am not that pleased with. However I can deal it, just a little too florally for me! This is a great dry shampoo and think it is worth the hype. It really does get rid of unwanted oily hair & i don't feel the need to reapply throughout the day which is great because with Dove's and Tresemme's I had to. A few sprays in the morning and my hair literally looks like I just showered. Also, you get a good enough product i feel, when i use Dove's it literally lasted me 3 weeks, horrible! The only negative thing i have to say about this is the scent and the fact that it doesn't make my hair feel refreshed or clean or anything (which makes sense), just makes it look clean.

This is the only drugstore foundation I've had success with recently, as I have extremely sensitive skin that breaks out on contact with most foundations. I'm an NC-15, so I use the lightest shade (fair) and while it goes on a little dark, it dries the right shade. It's very smooth and blendable, drying to a nice powder finish. It gets an extra point for the packaging because it comes with a brush, though loses a point because I'm not sure how you'd be able to effectively get ALL the foundation out of the tube once it starts to run out (unless you roll it like a tube of toothpaste, which is likely to damage the plastic of the tube.) I found this was good to light to moderate coverage, and that it lasted for most of the day with only minimal creasing. A good buy, especially if you get it on sale (it's normally $15, I got mine for $7.50 on sale at rite aid.)
Update: 04/16/13- I am no longer such a big fan of this product. It got clumpy after a month or two, and the color seemed to get darker as the pigments in the tube separated. I don't think I'd repurchase this at full price.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I find the colour match to be great and I find it has good, even, thick coverage. A big problem I have is that I have big pores and this makeup covers them totally. The brush that comes with it is pretty useless. It provides pretty matte coverage and skin looks soft.
The price is high, but I had a coupon and that was the only reason I bought it. I would purchase again.

I bought this months ago when It first came out. I thought it sounded alright and I just wanted to try it! Ive been dying to use a liquid foundation from PF but I always find their shades to be too dark and orangey so I hoped that this one would be different.
Alas...It wasnt. This foundation looked fine on my skin nothing really to get excited about. But the only problem I had is that the color was way off. It was too dark and orangey colored just like 99% of their other foundations.
PF WHY is all your foundation makeup so dark and orange??? Do people naturally have orange skin tones??? OBVIOUSLY NOT!
I wish PF would totally REDO all their foundation products with NORMAL skin tone shades. Seriously. Like yellow, neutral, and pink. No Orange.... or grey (like the talc-free mineral liquid foundation).
I love their pressed powders at least.

The price of this product is almost as high as the department store products. Another down side of it is that it says step 2 on it as if it does not work by itself or without step one. I took my chances as I had a coupon and got the foundation for about $7 including taxes. I am NC 30 and I got it in Medium. The product comes out of a tiny hole. You have to squeeze the tube really hard to get some out. When I wore it, it looked natural and perfect. The shade was a true match. In fact, it reminded me of the Revlon CS before they went ahead and messed it up. About 3 hours after wearing it, I felt that it started becoming really oily on my skin. When I touched my skin with the back of my hand, the oil was visibly enough to make an omelet. So it went back to the store....

I have always been a fan of Physicians Formula and used to LOVE their cream foundation. I wish they still made it! I haven't purchased anything from them in a while because it seems they are getting really trendy with their items and i liked the classics like their matte shadows and plumping lip gloss. I use Estee Lauder Double Matte foundation currently and have tried a bazillion others but just keep going back to that one. I saw this in the store and picked it up along with the illuminating powder and concealer (the concealer is terrible). This foundation actually surprised me. I threw the brush away that it came with and applied with a beauty blender makeup sponge and got a great application.and light-medium buildable coverage. I would not say you can build to full coverage at all so would not recommend for those who want full coverage. I have a light olive skin tone and the LIGHT color worked well for me. Limited shade selection is a huge drawback on this one. Foundation stays on all day when set with the powder and looks natural without cakiness. Only time will tell if all the other benefits that PF claims are true! I would recommend this if you can find your shade.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love Physicians Formula products, and this is no exception. This is a great product that, depending on how you apply it, gives medium to full coverage. It has a mousse texture that I find best applies with a damp Beauty Blender. You do have to be careful to blend in properly; if not, it will look thick and heavy on your skin. I honestly have not tried the brush that comes with it - since it is a mousse texture, I really feel you would be better off with a Beauty Blender or your fingers. The product does a good job of providing coverage for aging skin without settling into fine lines. As for whether or not it actually improves your skin... well, I don't know, but it does not irritate my sensitive, aging, skin which tends to suffer from rosacea. In fact, my skin is in a good place right now! Before this, I was using a PF tinted moisturizer but wanted something with just a little more coverage, so I was anxious to try this. If you like PF products and have aging skin like me, I would recommend this product.

First off I want to tell you what I look for in a foundation. Not everyone expects the same thing or has the same skin. My skin is olive (yellow undertones) and combination. My chin is dry; my forehead, nose, and cheeks are oily; and the rest is normal. I want to cover up my orange-rind looking cheeks, my oily nose (everything tends to slide right off), redness, and these little veins I have by my mouth (there's 3 of them together it's not noticeable until you get right up in my face; I'ms elf conscious about it). I want a foundation that lasts, barely transfers, looks flawless, covers the above mentioned flaws, and has a dewy-matte finish (aka for it to look like skin not makeup).
I am going to go over this by category:
-Color: Physicians Formula is always too dark or orange for me. This foundation is no exception. I bought mine in "light". The website says there's a "fair" but I didn't find it at the Walmart I went to. "Light" is a color better suited for NC/NW20 skin. I have skin that's a hair lighter than NC15. So this foundation tends to look a bit dark on me in natural lighting (artificial you can't tell as much). I'm not even sure they sell "fair" in stores.
-Finish: This is a matte finish but since I'm oily, the oily areas tend to make it look dewy-matte at the end of the day.
-Texture: I thought this would be a liquid. It is not. It's more of a mousse than anything. I think it has silicone in it and just a warning to acne-prone ladies: this will not work for you. I broke out like crazy.
-Coverage: This is pretty decent. It covers a lot while not getting too cakey. I'd say it's a light-medium to medium coverage.
-Application: I did not use the brush that came with this (it's a paddle foundation brush). Instead I used a stippling brush. I feel you had to use a lot of the product to cover your entire face. When paying $13 for a foundation and having to use a lot, it's not really cost effective. Kinda disappointing actually. Anyways I tried using my hands with this and it got cakey. So a brush is a must.
-Oil control: There is little to none with this. My oil started showing half way through the day
-Wear: I need a long wearing and pretty transfer proof foundation for work. This is not transfer proof but it is pretty long wearing. It can last 10hrs for me but with some minor powder touch ups for oil. Also it's really nice that it doesn't slide off my oily nose too.
-Packaging: I gave it a 3. I personally don't care for this. I wish it was in a jar or pump bottle. It'd dispense better than the tube (had to squeeze pretty hard to get a little out).
Over all: It's a decent foundation for those who aren't acne prone. For me this didn't work due to color & acne so it's going back to the store. I gave it a 3 over all 'cause someone could actually enjoy this. It's just not for me.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this foundation and I have many in my drawer (drugstore and high end). This stuff goes on smoothly and really feels good on the skin. My skin tone is NW20 and I purchased this in Light, which is an excellent match.
ETA: I've been using this foundation a lot recently and I LOVE it! I'm adding to my rating. The coverage is good, it feels great on my skin and doesn't dry me out like a lot of foundations do. The pricing is awesome and this is a GREAT buy!

I have started to coupon some time last year and consequently have tried a lot of drugstore products. I absolutely love this foundation. I don't know if my skin will look younger over time but it looks really good when I wear foundation. I also use the Physicians Formula anti aging skincare and a green primer (with attached brush applicator which is a nightmare). I love all those products plus the youthful powder.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got the fair - product is dry and orange-y. It kind of cracked on my face. The first day I wore it someone asked me if I was sick. Nice. this might work if you are a color match and have normal to oily skin, so for that I offer 2 lippies.

I'm going to tell everyone what happened to me but realize that my interpretation is not really concrete. Yesterday I got woken up by EMS, because apparently my wife couldn't wake me up. Anyway I got woke up, and ate and drank my way into normalcy, because my blood sugar was low. I can't understand how that happened, but there were two EMS guys there in front of me… so it must have happened.
If you have kept up this blog at all you know that in December I suffered a stroke and a day before the stroke was much like it was yesterday, EMS called because my blood sugar took a plunge. Was all of this happening to me again? One could only wonder and… wait. Of course there was the whole "don't know your own wife thing" to deal with too. I was, for lack of better words, up the creek without a paddle. My wife was a trooper, and hung tough, but this thing bothers me.

Transgender march organizer protests Vancouver Pride parade's politics
Tami Starlight says she's tired of the transgender community's "lack of meaningful involvement" in the Vancouver Pride Parade and Festival.
The Downtown Eastside resident is one of several transgender-rights activists organizing the Trans Celebration and Liberation March, set to take place on July 29, two days before this year's Pride parade.
Starlight, the executive director of the Vancouver Transgender Day of Remembrance Society, told the Georgia Straight the trans march is being planned outside of Pride, in part, to make a statement about what they feel is the transgender community's exclusion from the annual event.
"There's lots of tokenism—having a few drag queens and having an organization march—but what is our involvement?" she said by phone.
According to Starlight, transgender rights "don't exist" in British Columbia and Canada. Despite this situation, she charged, transgender people are "pretty much ignored" by the Vancouver Pride Society (VPS), which puts on the Pride parade. She argues the parade has become too corporate, apolitical, and characterized by a "lackadaisical" attitude to LGBT rights.
"The Pride march didn't begin because we were all so tickled pink at how great our society was, right?" Starlight said. "It's as much a celebration as it is a protest, and that's the history of it since day one. Now we've become quite ridiculous."
Scott Blythe, general manager of the VPS, confirmed that Pride has been lacking in transgender-focused events in the past. He told the Straight the VPS "reached out" this year to the transgender community to see how the society could better support its efforts.
These discussions resulted in plans to hold a trans barbecue during Pride Week. On July 27, the event will take place on the VPS office's terrace.
"We wanted to provide some sort of framework and some support for the trans community, to say, "˜We want to show that visibility'—on their terms, not on our terms," Blythe said by phone.
Regarding the "commercialization" of Pride, Blythe explained that the parade is expensive to put on so the society forms partnerships with businesses and organizations supportive of the LGBT communities.
The VPS is "very inclusive" of transgender people, according to Raigen D'Angelo.
A former Trans Alliance Society chair who sits on the VPS board of directors, D'Angelo noted that the Pride society revised its constitution a few years ago, adding "celebrating the transgender community" to its mandate. She said the VPS has given grants to the Transgender Day of Remembrance and the TAS in the past.
D'Angelo maintained that the VPS did not have enough time to properly arrange a trans march this summer. But she told the Straight the society plans to put on a trans march as part of next year's Pride.
"The whole purpose that I have on the board is to ensure that trans issues are taking place and that we are a very inclusive organization," D'Angelo said by phone. "I'm sorry that they decided to go in the direction of speaking poorly of Pride."
Marie Little, current chair of the TAS, told the Straight her group plans to march in the Pride parade and staff a booth at the festival on Sunset Beach on July 31. She's hopeful the VPS's "first effort"—the trans barbecue—will lead to more such events in the future.
"Yes, I have the same concern, but possibly less so," Little said by phone of Starlight's criticisms. "I think that the Pride society is starting to become aware of the trans community and our concerns."
On July 29, Starlight will MC the trans march, which will begin at 5 p.m. at Nelson Park in the West End. The event will kick off with a rally and speeches.
According to Starlight, this year's march is an "extrapolation" of the 2010 Trans Pride March, which also wasn't affiliated with Pride.
"We're protesting gender policing, trans erasure, and oppression, and we're celebrating gender expression and diversity," Starlight said.

Vancouver Pride Society has never supported, financially or otherwise, the Vancouver Transgender Day of Remembrance (Society).
I speak for myself. I do not speak for anyone else.
If I speak on behalf of an organization - I will say so.
I hope this begins more dialogue with the community as a whole.
Statements in this story speak of a long history of tokenism and erasure.
I believe there are many ways to "have pride". I disagree with the Vancouver Pride Society on many levels.
The trans community across this country is taking a stand for ourselves.
Remember - you are an ally when we say you are. Not when you do. Because many are now using the trans name to further their social standing and are not allies.
We have a long way to go.
We can and must do it together!
However, by ignoring our important history, we lose much and will continue to make the same mistakes.
They are opportunities to grow.
Perhaps the Vancouver Pride Society should have a more meaningful dialogue with the greater community(& not just the trans community)? I know plenty of people who feel as I do. Our society is so unequal and it is becoming worse. Vancouver is the most unequal city in this colony of England called Canada. This issues do not "get better" by ignoring they exist or by belittling and silencing people who bring them up.
The personal is political!
I believe it is not only time for these gay and lesbian pride societies to stop the tokenism and erasure, but to also stop the corporatization of our community and remember what PRIDE is and was truly about!
*this is a beginning so stay tuned*
Going down Tami's road we'll end up with special recognition for gay Protestants, bearish Catholics, and nighthawk Mormons. Sheesh.
And what about the well-known half-black / half-Jewish trans people?? What about them? Surely they deserve special recognition... and lots of grant money too.
We demand special rights and recognition for the Eskimo trans community! Gefa okkur alla peningana núna, eí°a munum vií° sagt í¾ér.
One thing I don't get about the "trans" community is why they even bother with gender. I mean, you're an individual---species/genera are incorporeal things, that is, they're like good/evil spirits/demons. Saying "I am a male" or "I am a female" is much like saying "I am a good spirit." It's a nice story for the kids, but as the individuals mature, should not there be a grand de-speciation, rather than the "inclusion" of people so out of it that they think they can move from one thing that does not exist to another thing that does not exist?
All of this babble rings fairly hollow to me, especially the whining about lack of "rights." If you want to see an individual who is more oppressed than any deviantly sexual (or whatever it is now) individual, find a drug user. Pot users are stolen from by the state; does the state steal your drag-gear? The Provincial Government, as far as I know, will placate a gender dysphoric with expensive surgical enhancements. Will they provide heroin or other opiates for addicts simply because they're addicts? Oh, there's methadone, which I have heard sucks---it's sort of funny that the deviantly sexual are actively helped to have "fun" in their deviance, which is arguably _not at all_ cross-culturally acceptable and never has been, but will not help the dietarily deviant have "fun" in their deviance---and using opiates is not even all that deviant; opium (and the other plants/entheogens/etc.) has had wide cross-cultural acceptance as a pain reliever and euphoric for centuries.
"Now we've become quite ridiculous."
I suspect you have no idea, and thanks to all sorts of socialist hogbroth, if anyone even dares say how ridiculous all of this has become, they risk censure by the Thought/Speech police.
If you're going to start figuring out who's more oppressed, I think it's unfair to only include official state oppression. I'll agree that pot users are more oppressed *by the state* than trans folk, but the oppression from the general public (especially the drunken violent hockey rioter types) and various religious groups comes down far harder on trans folk. For example, I've never heard of an impromptu "pothead bashing", at least at the hands of anyone besides the state.
I just wish oppression could be fought without dividing ourselves up into tiny ultra-specific special interest groups. The initiation of violence against other humans is universally wrong, I don't see the point in dividing up into the "Stop Violence Against People Aged 32-36.5 With Short Brown Hair Society" and "End Violence on Thursdays but Only When It's Cloudy Campaign."
But the state is everyone, that's the myth of a nation, that the nation-state includes everyone--and even trans people vote in elections, &c &c so the idea that they're not willing collaborators with the state that enacts violence against drug users is nonsensical. They see their own problems as more important that the violence they sanction against drug users by their participation within the state.
"I just wish oppression could be fought without dividing ourselves up into tiny ultra-specific special interest groups."
It can, but not by socialists or radicals, almost all of whom want two things: (a) special interest funding to promote "acceptance" of their deviance and (b) university professor jobs to propagandize novel theories of their deviance. Drug users really don't want either---they simply want to be left alone to get high, and this is a large part of why they're not as successful as the socioeconomic special interest groups like the transes, the gays and so on and so forth. Those groups _want_, and any trans/gay person can correct me if I am wrong, to normalize their deviance for the K-12 population---I don't know too many drug users who would want to normalize drug experimentation among the K-12 population as a whole---maybe some drug use around 16+, but certainly I doubt anyone in the drug culture would want to normalize, for example, IVing heroin, and to target such propaganda at 6 year-olds, the same way that the gay community wants to normalize sodomy and target such propaganda at young children.
How is it that religious groups "come down hard" on trans people? Are we to be subject to a Thought Police that prevents doubleplusungood people from spreading their doubleplusungood views about heteronormative gender stereotypes? A big problem with the deviantly sexual culture is that they feel they have a "right" to be exempted from critique of their deviance.
Statism is a weapon, and like any weapon, it will be grabbed by anyone who feels endangered, because they don't realize that using this weapon in the hopes of satisfaction will only incur further pain. It's like the ring in Lord of the Rings. Drug users vote too, say for the Marijuana Party. Does that make them "willing collaborators with the state that enacts violence" against themselves? Yes. Are they conscious to this? No. They're grabbing at the nearest, sharpest weapon, because they're rightfully scared. To them, they are merely doing what's in their best interest.
"Deviant" is a helluva word to use because it forces one to define "normal" which is more or less impossible, short of bellyfeel. The one thing that might be a symptom of normalcy is the inability to agree with others on what normal means. I'm not a fan of public K-12 schools, or public universities, (30% of highschool grads never read another book in their life, and it's even worse, 40%, for university grads) So I understand if you don't want your kid going anywhere near them. But you're saying you don't want any kids to hear anything about accepting what you call deviance. So who should censor the teachers of "deviance"? Socrates was executed for "corrupting the youth"
Doubleplusungood isn't the only relevant Orwellian newspeak word in the context of this issue.
From 1984:
"Goodsex is any form of sex considered acceptable by the Party; specifically, this refers only to married heterosexual sex for the exclusive purpose of providing new children for the Party. All other forms of sex are considered sexcrime."
Sounds familiar.....
The path to equality is reconciliation - the harp is stronger than the sword. Gaining acceptance is more easily accomplished with a smile and a handshake than a yell and a fist.
Transgenedered people should just show up and march just like any other group. They don't need to get up on a float and dance in their under wear, they could do society a service by providing information about the trans gendered.
trans people are still highly stigmatized in our society as being abnormal and "not right". this attitude is present not only in the heterosexual mainstream but also in the gay community. just by the comments on this wall people clearly don't even know the meaning of the word "transgender".
Tami has a very legitimate point, in that it is unfortunate that we celebrate the "liberation" of one community but largely ignore the ongoing struggles of another....
No, that's not what I am saying. I didn't wander into the topic of compulsory primary education (mandated by international covenant) because it is very far afield, but now I will, just to clarify my position. I don't believe in any compulsory education nor public education. For education to be truly free, there must be no state involvement at all, and certainly no state-actors forcing people to become "educated."
Compulsory primary education is little more than slave-conditioning where people learn to respond to their state-granted birth names and to fill out paperwork, which they will continue doing to get DLs, SINs, Passports, Statutory Legal Tender Denomionated Bank Accounts and other statist objet d'art.
Now, that view right there, that's not a normal view. Normal people go "what, Driver License, SIN, passport, Legal Tender? Those are just the things we use to do what we want to do!" Do I want my view inculcated using an Ideological State Apparatus? Nope. But I also don't want the countervailing view inculcated from 5 (3+ if the EC educators get their way) using extorted monies. So I am not supporting a "normal" indoctrination as opposed to "progressive" indoctrination---I am fundamentally opposed to indoctrination of any sense, but I do think it takes an especially malevolent sort of person to use the K-12 system to inculcate acceptance of deviance. If we are to have compulsory education, reading, writing, rithmetic. Sure, you can argue using cultural theory that reading/writing are the ever-shifting ground of consciousness, language is the organ of thought, and all sorts of similar baffle, and that therefore we cannot have any disciplinary boundaries at all, those things being linguistically constituted and therefore arbitrary. As I said above, I solve this problem by removing compulsory education. Let the stupid be stupid. Education just makes them think they're better than nature made them, anyway, because, and this is the hilarious part, they're capable of filling out paperwork---most K-12 homework these days, except _maybe_ the essays in well-run English classes, are basically very complex passport forms. Fill in the blank, get a Passport and a sense of undeserved intellectual integrity.
Finally, Birdy, if you think my comments are directed at reducing people's sexual freedom, they are not. I don't care about how/where/when people have sex. I don't really believe sex in public should be illicit, as long as people wipe down the surfaces afterwards, or something like that. What I take great exception to is the use of compulsory primary education for overt socialist engineering, all without admitting "we have our values, we use this apparatus to inculcate them"---the language of "rights" is used very heavily by these people.
Rights are fictional, like gender identity. Rights are incorporeal things that are used to facilitate litigation---that is, instead of having two people battle it out, winner take all, dead taking nothing, they engage in a fictitious process involving a third party, who accepts sequences of sounds from them, arguing over who has more right. Then this interloper will assign the disputed thing to the one who sings prettiest/most in tune with what the interloper thinks is the proper tune.
"Socrates was executed for "corrupting the youth""
I disagree. He was executed because he refused to leave.
Finally, most of this discussion is being had, as it were, with the hands tied behind the back---I should like to see psychedelic psychotherapy for gender dysphorics, but, alas, the statists don't want anyone to be that happy with what nature gave them.
I can't go on debating in a circle, so here's a summary from someone who knows more about this issue than either of us:
No, the people who have participated are not all drag queens and/or tokens. They were and are taking up space in their own ways.
Have another march, absolutely, and you can be sure as shit this trans queer will be there with bells and boots on, and will not be at any VPS events; but while i do it, i also respect that others need to do it in their own ways. Diversity of tactics and all that.
Yep, this is about the strength of these arguments. Anyone who disagrees will not be convinced using reason---there are cultural theory watchwords ("privilege") etc. to use, and then the talk about how disagreement is _offensive_.
"Maybe you should learn to listen to voices other than your amazing intellectual one."
So, maybe I should serve other people's voices instead of my own? Sounds like an undesirable sort of bondage.
"re Standing
I can't go on debating in a circle, so here's a summary from someone who knows more about this issue than either of us:
You can't, or you don't want to? What else have you got to do that is more pressing? Great trope---did you learn that at a University? I think this whole debate, that it is even had, is fairly L7. There are thousands of kids in prison for psychedelic drugs, and these ponces are arguing about how oppressed they are because people snigger if they go outside in drag? Cry me a fucking river. This is nothing but depraved, media-inculcated decadence---the modern-day equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns (well, now the fire-department keeps it from burning, while the corporatists loot to their heart's content).
As for your drafting that child into this argument, it recapitulates categorist dogma re: identity---that we are not units, prime, indivisible, irreconcilable, but that we are part of species/genera, of categories. "Boy", "girl." There is no such thing as a boy or girl, therefore there is no such thing as a boy brain or a girl brain. There is your brain, there is my brain. This is the exact same memetic psychosis that leads to statism, btw---"I am a girl!" is no less delusional than "I AM CANADIAN!" Both are fictions---historically, the legal fiction of femaleness afforded exemption from military service and other tangible benefit. Women were considered mature at different ages from men.
Now that everyone is equal, what's the need for these categories? Why "Boy" and "Girl"? Why not "Boy", "Girl" and "Unicorn"?
"Thanks for dismissing my reality completely."
No problem! You don't get your own reality. There's only one. And if you want to modify "your" reality by brainwashing me into accept your PR, well, that's not really your reality, it is my reality you want to alter---so if we all get our own realities, you are being very, very selfish, in trying to control _my_ reality, are you not?
You said in your first sentence here "I am at a loss for what it is about,", and this seems to be panning out predictably. If you really have no idea what this is about, why the need to comment at all?
Back on topic, what does any of your commentary have to do with the topic of trans folks setting off and doing our own thing outside of VPS guidelines?
In 2010, we were proud to have a Trans Person as a Grand Marshal and this year we honour Bill Siksay for his work on Bill C389, which would amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to protect the rights of transgender or transsexual citizens. It would prohibit discrimination on the basis of "gender identity" or "gender expression" in the workplace or elsewhere, and would amend the Criminal Code so that crimes committed against people because they are transgender or transsexual would be treated as hate crime.
Over the past four years, the VPS has had 5 Trans Identified people on the board, two of which sat as Vice President during their time. A couple of years ago our constitution was changed to include Transgender, Transsexual, and Two Spirited. We are striving to bridge the gap with the trans communities through outreach to Trans events, working with organizations such as Trans Alliance Society and granting monies to Trans organizations through our Legacy Fund Grant.
We decided that this year, as our infrastructure is allowing us to grow, to look at hosting a Trans Pride Event. The VPS, with Director Raigen D'Angelo, founder of the Trans Alliance Society, invited members of the trans community to come to the table, including Tami Starlight. She was unable to make two different meetings and we informed her of the direction in which we were headed. The decision was made to host a BBQ Party as an opportunity to Celebrate the leaders in the Trans community on Wednesday July 27th for Trans and Friends.
The Vancouver Pride Society wants to ensure all that our door is always open and we will come to the table to address any concern from our community. We would like to consider ourselves allies of the Trans community, and are working to earn the trust of the Trans community.

Nick's Crispy Tacos, San Francisco CA
Posted on | October 2, 2009 | 2 Comments
After our Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk (the real reason we were in San Francisco!) we had time for one more meal before heading to the airport. My first thought was 'sandwiches', but I found out the Sentinel wasn't open on Saturday. Then, we drove by Ike's Place, took one look at the line, and both said "hell no". So we decided on Nick's Crispy Tacos instead. We shared an order of chips with salsa and guacamole. The chips were thick, crispy, and really, really good! They almost reminded me more of corn based pita chips, rather than tortilla chips. The salsa was good, but could've used a bit more spice, in my opinion. The guacamole was perfect.
For my tacos, I picked the carne asada and pollo asado. Both had the same thick shell as the chips; only there was a crispy shell inside, and a softer shell outside. The tacos were stuffed with plenty of tasty meat, as well as beans, which, honestly I could've done without. In fact. I ended up removing most of mine. They were topped with cheese, salsa, and guacamole. We both ended up eating the first half of them with a fork because they were so overstuffed! Tasty tacos, but I honestly prefer my tacos a bit more simple. LA's Tito's Tacos are still my favorite! Stuff some tasty meat and cheese into a tortilla, fry it up, and I'm happy.

Too tight and String on the Hood looks Cheap
I bought this item but actually returned it. The sweatshirt is too tight (not true to size) and the material isn't stretchy. Also, the string on the hood looks very cheap. Not recommended unless you are super skinny. (or get 2 sizes up).

French fancy Mathieu Debuchy is one of those unheralded names currently in Laurent Blanc's Les Bleus side.
He has only recently been linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs and is being closely watched during Euro 2012.
The 26-year-old, with only a handful of caps to his name under France coach Laurent Blanc, has so far impressed in Group D games with England and Ukraine.
However, he was given his sternest test yet, as Sweden upset Les Bleus 2-0 at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev.
Debuchy, who is famed for his high work-rate, passing, crossing and that rare balance of being able to defend and attack in equal measure, was fully tested as he came up against an attack-minded Martin Olsson.
The right-back stayed calm under pressure and exuded confidence while others around him struggled to find their form.
He clearly enjoys playing as high up the field as possible and attacks well, providing a number of decent crosses throughout the match, but defensively, he was also very rigorous and produced some solid tackling when he needed to.
The Fretin-born star hasn't emerged as one of his country's best full-backs for no reason and could move on this summer after nine years and over 200 Ligue One appearances for his club Lille.
Indeed, head coach Rudi Garcia recently confirmed that Newcastle United have made a bid for their full-back in the region of £4million, but the French club believe he is worth more than £6million.
But he is also being closely followed by Paris St-Germain, Bayern Munich and UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea, according to reports.
Debuchy has experienced everything he possibly can at Les Dogues and may well feel that if he puts in an equally confident display in their quarter-final clash against Spain on Saturday night, his stock may rise further.

From Amores, (1916).
See the stars, love,
In the water much clearer and brighter
Than those above us, and whiter,
Like nenuphars.
Star-shadows shine, love,
How many stars in your bowl?
How many shadows in your soul,
Only mine, love, mine?
When I move the oars, love,
See how the stars are tossed,
Distorted, the brightest lost.
So that bright one of yours, love.
The poor waters spill
The stars, waters broken, forsaken.
The heavens are not shaken, you say, love,
Its stars stand still.
There, did you see
That spark fly up at us; even
Stars are not safe in heaven.
What of yours, then, love, yours?
What then, love, if soon
Your light be tossed over a wave?
Will you count the darkness a grave,
And swoon, love, swoon?

Queens-based rapper Slimchance has signed with the newly formed Madeoff Records, in an effort to expand his presence in the rap universe.
Slimchance, whose real name is Kevin Taylor, signed with the company because of its connections within the music industry and because of the opportunity to have the spotlight shine solely on himself.
"I have been recognized by a few labels and have spoken to a few execs," Taylor said. "But knowing what I am willing to bring to the table as far as an already established brand, it just makes sense to me to deal with a label where I won't be overshined by those artists that are already well established."
His signing with the newer Madeoff Records instead of a more established organization is another example of his efforts to differentiate himself from the average rapper.
Taylor believes that his passion for just telling his life story and changing the lives of his listening audience separates him from his many peers in the business.
"I would have to say I'm different because for me making music and embracing the art is not only about the financial stability if you should reach a level of success within the industry but the joy that I get from being able to write my thoughts and feelings on paper then dictate them to the world and it actually makes a difference in a person's day," said Taylor.
His life story is a common theme in his music. One song from his repertoire which delves heavily into his personal life is "The Struggle," a song which centers around the theme of his personal struggles.
In the song, he discusses his mother's death, which came as result of an HIV infection, the death of his baby brother just one hour short of living past his first day of life, and his struggles with school.
In the midst of his documented struggles, he discovered a talent for rapping. It started off with him writing small raps. Then it evolved into small songs, and then into short mixtape albums which he sold in his neighborhood.
Taylor decided that rap and hip-hop music would be his refuge and passion and he has since worked to improve the quality of his music.
Taylor decided to go with the moniker "Slimchance," a reference to individuals who doubted his chances of success in music.
He also introduced his music to an online audience. His works have been downloaded at least 46,000 times across all of his digital accounts.
He has also released several mixtape albums including those dedicated to charitable goals. He has also donated shoes to children in his neighborhood.
Taylor says that his lifelong charitable streak comes from his troubled background in Queens.
"Being born with very little has made me charitable," he said. "Whether it be me raising money to help those in need, or giving shoes to those kids who needed them, or a song to raise awareness ... it's all a form of giving back. I made a promise to the man above that I would always use the blessings I'm given to give back when I can."
He has also utilized his music to obtain beverage and apparel deals, among other opportunities.
Taylor is passionate about his young son, Jaylen, who has also played a role in shaping his music. He sees his music as a way to allow his son to live a better life than himself.
"Honestly I have so much love for music and entertaining, but I do think I have become a beast at making it work because I look at my son every day and I know what this life of music can obtain for him as far as education and lifestyle," he said.
"If you are working a McDonalds making $6 an hour but you have children, that small paycheck is not about you. It's about what you can do for your kids with it."
For Taylor, the key to success in his career has been going against the grain in all of his work.
"I am different because I will never follow the in crowd," said Taylor. "I will always be in my own lane as my own driver, like a boss should be."

The General Assembly did not meet this week, so I thought I would talk about why I believe so much in public education.
This past week, one of the world's most famous and influential men made a major announcement concerning our global future. But you might have missed it because America's national news media was obsessing over President Obama's State of the Union address.
Leftists and progressives believe that the U.S. should become more like Europe. They praise Europe's massive welfare state, socialized medicine and stifling economic regulation and accept its unwillingness to defend itself against barbarism. I wonder whether America's leftists and progressives want to import some of Europe's barbaric extremism associated with its Muslim population.
In 1897, a young girl named Virginia O'Hanlon got into an argument with her classmate over whether Santa Claus was real. Her classmates teased her and called her names because she believed in him.
In the medical profession, there is the admonition primum non nocere, the Latin expression for "first, do no harm." In order not to do harm, at the minimum, requires accurate diagnostics. Suppose a patient presents with abdominal pains, and the physician diagnoses it as caused by the patient's ingrown toenails. If that isn't the cause, the physician can spend all the resources he wants treating the patient's ingrown toenails and not remedy the patient's abdominal pains.

The 150th session of the Georgia General Assembly opened for business Jan. 12 facing a number of serious issues. The budget, education, healthcare, transportation and water are again at the top of our list. We have already begun acting on these critical issues in the pursuit of making Georgia a state that people are proud to call home.
At midweek, we heard from Governor Sonny Perdue in his annual State of the State Address in which he gives all Georgians a progress report on our state and rolls out his new budget initiatives and legislative agenda for 2009.
I'm old school, as you already know if you converse regularly with me Sunday mornings. So, it shouldn't be difficult for you to presuppose my position on a multiplicity of issues. It shouldn't surprise you to learn that I firmly support capital punishment. Nor would you be startled at my suggestion as to how best save tax money currently spent sustaining death row inmates: tomorrow morning, feed the condemned that last meal, then parade them out and do away with them!
When he retired as the commander of the Georgia National Guard in 2007, David Poythress could look back on a long and honorable career in military and government service. He had been Georgia's secretary of state and labor commissioner, as well as an unsuccessful candidate for governor.
During a recent football game I saw commercials for an exercise ball (it looked like a beach ball), an exercise video (no equipment), two different exercise equipment sets, a diet supplement and an exercise club. I assume someone is buying one or more of these products or else the ads would not be on TV.
The federal government spends a lot of time on labels.
As my close friends can verify, I am quite fashion-conscious. A regular clothes horse. I seek to be dressed correctly for all occasions.
My formal evening attire, for instance, is always impeccable. For one thing, Harvey, the guy over at the tux rental place, always sees to it any cummerbund I get has no soup stains on it from a previous wearing.
As 2009 dawns, the next cycle of Georgia politics is coming into view. We already have seen coverage of the budding race for governor, with Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine preparing to run for the Republican nomination.
Other GOPers considering an entry include Secretary of State Karen Handel and Congressman Lynn Westmoreland.
I know we need the rain and everyone is grateful for the recent heavy rains including me, but the cold I'm not so sure of.
I can't help remembering my old circulation days and the havoc that rain caused the carriers.
Obama's invitation of the Rev. Rick Warren to speak at his inauguration has ignited a fire storm on both sides of the political aisle. For the left wing, eight years of intolerance at the hands of "incurious George" led to an expectation of payback. Toleration of right wing opinions is not part of their agenda.
The right wing, who Warren is seen as representing, is also going up in flames. Their complaint is that Warren should be intolerant of Obama and simply refuse to participate. Both positions are equally wrong and for largely the same reasons.
I've never claimed to be a smart man. I tend to view things simply, despite my fascination with how Einstein saw things mathematically and how Flannery O'Connor described things in her unique anagogical style. I love chatting with those knowledgeable about quantum electrodynamics, but if asked to explain what European physicists are doing with their Large Hadron Collider, I just paint it simply and say they're looking for an elusive, crucial particle that will explain how science works.
In any election year there will be roughly equal groups of winners and losers. Here are the Georgia political figures who can feel good (or bad) about their wins and losses of the past year.
If the federal government really wants to start fooling around with the drinking age, it should start at the other end. What I mean by this is that the government should first do something about older drinkers before it starts meddling with the younger ones. There are several reasons why I think this:
Dear Editor: Certainly no compassion here. If left up to the citizens there would be no condemnation of the Denby home until all the permits were issued to build the project. And after 10-plus years the "urgency" of this condemnation is about as lame an excuse as any kindergarten kid could come up with. The county brought me into court on Christmas Eve once in an attempt to spoil my holidays, and if I remember correctly, the county court house was closed. I didn't mind. I expected it. It was an issue of Hay vs. Newton.
Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme brought down individuals, charities and damaged banks and investment funds around the world. More precisely, the exposure of Madoff's Ponzi scheme brought them down.
I remember going to Walt Disney World not long after it opened. There was just the Magic Kingdom and that was it.

Daytona 500 starting lineup set
- Feb 13, 2009
- Team Hendrick
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 13, 2009)—Mark Martin will lead all Hendrick Motorsports drivers when they line up for Sunday's Daytona 500 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.
Martin, driver of the No. 5 Kellogg's/CARQUEST Chevrolet, will start from the outside pole position for the prestigious 500-mile event after posting the second-fastest time during the Feb. 8 qualifying session. The front row was set by the Feb. 8 qualifying session, and twin qualifying races held Thursday determined the rest of the starting lineup.
Jeff Gordon made the most of his 60-lap Gatorade Duel, taking his No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet to Victory Lane. Gordon, who will line up third for Sunday's race, was thrilled to kick off Hendrick Motorsports 25th anniversary on a positive note.
"I'm excited to get the 25th anniversary started off right for those guys and be able to celebrate in Victory Lane for all of Hendrick Motorsports," Gordon said.
Jimmie Johnson raced in the first Duel with Gordon and drove his No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet to a third-place finish. He will start the Daytona 500 in the seventh position.
Martin, who led a race-high 36 laps during the second Gatorade Duel, wasn't disappointed by his second-place finish in the 60-lap qualifying race. He still will start from the outside pole on Sunday.
"What a great effort," Martin said after Thursday's event. "We are off to such a great start with the Kellogg's/CARQUEST Impala. I want to thank (team owner) Rick Hendrick. I want to thank the race fans for supporting me. I wouldn't have this job if it weren't for all of our great race fans. I will tell you what, that put a smile on my face. This is a great race team and Rick Hendrick gave me a chance to drive this car, and this is going to be the best year of my life."
Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard, will start Sunday's race in 14th after finishing seventh in the second Gatorade Duel on Thursday. Earnhardt, who led twice for 15 laps on Thursday, was pleased with his Chevy.
"We've got a good car for the (Daytona) 500," Earnhardt said.
