President's Blog
A most productive meeting
04 April 2014
The WJC's Executive Committee meeting in Paris this week, as always, was an important and momentous occasion – even more so because it happened at a historical moment in France.
The Executive expressed great appreciation, in the form of a resolution, to President François Hollande and his government for their strong fight against anti-Semitism. In particular, we praised the actions taken by French Interior Minister Manuel Valls, to seek bans against performances by anti-Semitic comedian Dieudonné M'bala M'bala for incitement against Jews. Valls was appointed as the new French prime minister by Hollande on Monday.
The refusal of the French government to accept the outrageous hate speech M'bala M'bala peddles in the guise of humor is critical in the fight against the growing wave of anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial that seems to be sweeping through Europe today. M'bala M'bala's humor is not only not funny. It is disgusting and revolting and, above all, it incites hatred. We thank the French government for making that clear to the world and for stopping it in its tracks.
Our resolution on proscribing hate speech in France was not the only notable decision coming out of the meeting.
In Argentina, our call on the government to rescind the memorandum of understanding it signed last year with Iran – which is held responsible for the despicable 1994 bombing attack on the AMIA community center, which left 85 people dead – drew headlines. We sincerely hope that the government will heed our and the Argentine Jewish community's call and rescind the memorandum. Justice cannot be achieved when the perpetrator of a crime is allowed to dictate or manipulate the process.
On the crisis in Ukraine, we adopted a balanced, nonpartisan resolution that all sides of the conflict could live with, urging all parties to ensure that anti-Semitic and anti-minority incitement is not tolerated and that "the ethnic, cultural, religious, and linguistic expression of all minorities is protected."
The Executive also backed the Hungarian community in its quarrel with the government over the whitewashing of Hungary's World War II collaboration with the Nazis, and issued a revised and updated report on neo-Nazism in Europe.
Altogether, it was a productive and useful meeting. I look forward to sharing more important WJC news with you soon.

Unborn baby uses Twitter
Yes, every time baby Tyler kicked inside Ellen Menscher's womb, a belt worn by his mother would wirelessly trigger a tweet to be sent. Youngest Twitter user ever?
How many times can you say "ga ga goo goo" in 140 or fewer characters? I don't have the time to work it out.
But I can tell you that the child who was, until recently, in Ellen Menscher's womb may well have been the world's youngest Twitter user.
Baby Tyler, who was born last week, was hooked up to something called a "Kickbee," a device invented by his dad, Corey, who is an interactive telecommunications student at New York University.
Basically, when the unborn Tyler kicked with sufficient force, it would wirelessly send a signal, via a belt worn by his mama, to his Twitter account . And, of course, all of his followers would be super excited.
I am thinking of having the same device connected to my mouth, such that a tweet is sent every time I scream.

It's the first time he has had sex but may have had some kind of intimacy in the past.
Hi Anonymous,
Sexually Transmitted Diseases are not necessarily only transmitted through penetration. Any behavior that involves Oral sex or fluid exchange can also result in sexually transmitted diseases. If both partners are virgins and have never had any sexual contact with other people, then there is no chance of transmission unless this was something contracted through birth (such as herpes) in which case, the person with the STD would know about.
Common STDs among teens are Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia.

Sarah & Myra Buckin' Horses LDC - 02/11/2006
We never reveiwed this dance when first choreographed, although we along with our class members absolutely loved it! And recently we have asked for peoples votes for 'funky favourite' dances to be revived and this was the most popular and is number 1 on the list! Looking forward to re-teaching it and we are sure even those who did not do it first time round will be equally smitten!!
terry - 17/03/2006
This dance was revived last summer at our club when I learnt it for the first time. Would take more than one night to pick this up for most people (me included) but once mastered is very rewarding. The only way to progress as a dancer is to challenge yourself. If you are an average dancer learning only average dances, you will always be an average dancer. This might be ok for some people but others like to try to improve. A bit late but well done Neville, along with all the recent dances you have put together.
Dave - 09/08/2003
Well I'm sorry It's not filling the floor where I dance. It's like you say "Avid dancers" doing it, and thats it. The dance is just to hard to even be considered by your average dancer. Floor thinner in most clubs no doubt about it.
karen and nita - 24/07/2003
this dance is very clever, very good choegraphy. what a nightmare to teach. have seen this dance packing floors out of our area with all ages, sadly within our area it does not seem to be such a big hit, this dance i feel is more suited to the avid dancer who attends a lot of big events. very well written dance. ver well written but not suitable for all classes
Karen Hunn - 09/07/2003
Finally taught it tonight, and all those that had a go which was the majority of the class got it with no problems, remembering it next week is another matter.... but seriously this dance is worth the effort. In my opinion this dance fits the music spot on and I hope to see it become Advanced Dance Of The Year next year because it deserves it. Well done, Nev.
Catz - 25/06/2003
I really can't say a bad word againsed this dance. I love it to bits. But then again i love the 'Mis-Teeq Flava'. Basically anyone who likes Mis-Teeq will love the dance. Bit hard to remember, but most of the dances worth remembering are hard. Thumbs Up from me!
Mackie - 30/05/2003
Took a little while to get in to, but was worth the effort! great dance, I get better each time, must have been my good teacher!

Kal - 18/05/2003
Do this & find out for yourself. Nuff said.
Kt's - 15/05/2003
Well done Neville, taken alot of teaching to get this one throu,the one's in my class who asked for it are so pleased & so am I, very rewarding. THANK YOU GREAT DANCE.Kate
sandra - 14/05/2003
I just what to say WOW WOW WOW
John - 04/05/2003
I'm afraid i can't agree with your "bitty" comment Stephen, this dance flows brilliantly. It is top of our favourites & has been since we were taught it nearly two months ago. Fantastic dance.
Steve Rutter - 04/05/2003
Sorry but it's not my cup of tea Neville, it's too bitty for my liking. I expect that I will be part of the minority though as probabally will be loved by alot of people, but not me I'm afraid. Sorry Neville it's low boots awarded for this one from me.
Barbara - 23/04/2003
Well at first I thought oh no this dance will definately not be in my top 10 dances let alone my top 5, but once you learn this dance the feelings change, its now in my top favourite 4 dances. Well done Nev thought you got me this time with a dance I don't like, but proved wrong again I love it.
Val - 22/04/2003
I am sorry too Nev. Great dance! Worth learning it if the music is good but this isn't.
Glenys - 20/04/2003
Sorry Nev Complicated dance to dire music. Must try harder.
Chrissy - 17/04/2003
I spent tonight getting my daughter to show me this dance, and I love it, the track is great and the dance well choreographed, which makes it easier to follow. Ok its got a couple of restsrts and a diddy tag, but no problem. So we oldies can appreciate this style of dance too! Well done Neville another success.
Gem - 18/03/2003
Absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!!
Terry J - 18/03/2003
Now thats what i call a review Anne & this is what i call a dance Neville. Was taught this at Big Daves. Fantastic piece of choreography like you said. Hope this does well because it deserves to.
Shy-anne's LDC - 17/03/2003
Great piece of choregoraphy, love the music love the dance, fits like a surgical glove, perhaps not everybodys cup of tea and a little tricky but not as hard as liverpool fling.... for those who like this style its a must and well worth it in the end. I found it a joy to teach because i like it so much. Well done again Neville and the work you have put into this one. If i could give more boots i would..
Margaret - 16/03/2003
Hard but cool
Karl - 07/03/2003
WOW!!! Fantastic dance. Brilliant music. Won't be everyones taste but i think most will be wowed with it like we are. Not easy teach but worth the effort. 10 out of 5

ALBANY, NY — When asked after Monday's 5-2 win against Bridgeport if he would rather have a goal and an assist or a +3 rating, Dan Kelly thought for a split second and responded:
"Probably the +3. It got me out of the minus column and back to even."
Now in this fourth professional season, the Devils defenseman has been able to avoid playing in the "minus" for the past three years. He ranks first all-time in franchise history with a +24 rating.
"Me personally, that's the stat I love," Kelly said. "I try to be on for as least goals as possible — that's my job. When I'm out there for when we score goals that's a plus."
Thanks to the help of a +5 rating during the last three games, Kelly is a +1 in 14 games. In the offensive zone, he has a goal and four assists, including his multi-point effort against the Sound Tigers.
"That's an added perk," he said. "I'm not offensively gifted normally. I'm a crash and banger and I play strong defense. When you get those opportunities it's just a bonus."
At 24 years old, Kelly is the second oldest blueliner on Albany's roster and served as an assistant captain while Mike Sislo was sidelined between Oct. 23-30.
"He's a competitor and always has been," said Head Coach Rick Kowalsky, who has been with Kelly for the last four seasons. "He's slowly improved and developed every year. He's a meat-and-potatoes-type guy. Those points are just a bonus, but I think his energy, his effort, his grit and what he brings to the rink not only in games, but in practice is something that's contagious. He's a leader in that room.
"We've asked our [defensemen] to get a little more involved and he has done that. They have to be smart about it. Dan should be a plus player. With that being said, he usually plays against the top guys every night, so it's not an easy task. He's hard to play against and that's really what makes him an important guy for us."
Defensively, the Devils rank near the top in the AHL. They are first for shots-against per game (24.93) and eighth for goals-against average (2.71). Albany is 5-1-0-1 when allowing two or fewer goals.
Upcoming, the team heads to Hartford Friday and Syracuse Saturday. Albany is scheduled to practice Thursday at Times Union Center at 10:30 am.

Concierge.com's insider take:
There's no point pretending this funny little place in the heart of Bath is anything other than a tourist trap—but it's actually worth a visit. According to a legend of dubious authenticity, a French refugee girl moved into this, the oldest house in Bath (dating from 1482) sometime in the 17th century, and started baking rich buns a foot in diameter. (There's a museum in the basement with displays explaining all this.) Nowadays, half a toasted Sally Lunn with a topping (preferably Welsh rarebit) still makes a fabulous lunch, and the busy scene with grannies in their coats sipping tea hasn't changed in decades.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is the second most widely grown legume crop after soybean, accounting for a substantial proportion of human dietary nitrogen intake and playing a crucial role in food security in developing countries. We report the ∼738-Mb draft whole genome shotgun sequence of CDC Frontier, a kabuli chickpea variety, which contains an estimated 28,269 genes. Resequencing and analysis of 90 cultivated and wild genotypes from ten countries identifies targets of both breeding-associated genetic sweeps and breeding-associated balancing selection. Candidate genes for disease resistance and agronomic traits are highlighted, including traits that distinguish the two main market classes of cultivated chickpea--desi and kabuli. These data comprise a resource for chickpea improvement through molecular breeding and provide insights into both genome diversity and domestication.

For years, creditors have been using credit scoring systems to determine if you'd be a good risk for credit cards, auto loans, and mortgages. These days, many more types of businesses — including insurance companies and phone companies — are using credit scores to decide whether to approve you for a loan or service and on what terms... A higher credit score means you are likely less of a risk, and in turn, means you will be more likely to get credit or insurance — or pay less for it... The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, wants you to know how credit scoring works.

Is AT&T 4G LTE coming soon to Denver?
Posted By Andy Vuong On July 26, 2012 @ 6:03 pm In 4G,AT&T,iPhone,Technology,Telecommunications | 10 Comments
When will AT&T light up its 4G [1] LTE network in the Denver area?
Denver Post readers have asked that question quite a bit over the past year, more so since the latest iPad launched in March with LTE compatibility.
It is somewhat puzzling that Denver doesn't yet have LTE while the high-speed mobile Internet service is live in 51 other markets, including the likes of Wichita, Kansas, and Muncie, Indiana. (Cities are listed below).
For what it's worth, AT&T retail store employees are telling customers that cell sites in Denver have been upgraded for LTE service, which could mean that a launch isn't too far away.
If the next iPhone features an LTE antenna and hits stores in the October timeframe [2] as expected, AT&T risks losing a large number of subscribers to Verizon [3] if its LTE network in Denver isn't activated by then.
A local AT&T spokeswoman declined today to provide details on the company's plans for Denver.
"I can't comment specifically on our plans for Denver, but I can tell you that we anticipate that our 4G LTE buildout will be largely complete by year-end 2013," she said.
Though it's far behind Verizon in terms of LTE coverage, AT&T has consistently rolled out the service in new cities in recent months, announcing today that it activated the LTE network in four new markets [4].
AT&T is playing catch up on LTE because the company previously focused time and resources on upgrading its 3G network with HSPA+ technology, which AT&T bills as 4G. AT&T's HSPA+ service is much faster than Verizon's 3G network, but doesn't come close to hitting the top speeds offered by LTE.

Moderator's Note: Dawning of a Brighter Day welcomes guest blog posts such as this on topics related to Mormon literature and literary criticism. For more information, email Jonathan Langford, AML blog coordinator, at jonathan AT motleyvision DOT org.
Creative writers like to talk about how no one ever reads their work — and they are mostly right — but I guarantee they have more readers than the literary critic. Literary critics have been around almost as long as creative writers, but they've never been able to garner the same kind of celebrity. Introduce yourself as a novelist or poet, and people are immediately impressed, even if they haven't read a book since fifth grade. Say you're a literary critic, though, and they either think they've misheard you ("I'm sorry. Could you say that again?") or you've sneezed ("God bless you!").
I bring this up because the other day I spent the better part of a seven minute conversation trying to explain to a guy at church how I spend the majority of my work week. As a Ph.D. student studying English, I do a lot. When I'm not taking classes about nineteenth-century American women writers or psychoanalytic theory, I'm teaching freshman composition or trying to read and write intelligently about the increasingly more obscure contemporary American novel. You try explaining that at a ward dinner party and eyes glaze over pretty quickly, especially when you get to the part about writing intelligently about novels. Their obvious lack of interest makes it all too clear: Novel writing is sexy. Writing about novels — or any kind of literature, for that matter — is not.
In fact, for some people, literary criticism is loathsome and perverse. For example, in his essay "Disliking Books at an Early Age," critic Gerald Graff notes that literary criticism is frequently "suspected of coming between readers […] and the primary experience of literature itself." Such suspicion, he supposes, oozes from the assumption that "leaving [readers] alone with the literary texts themselves, uncontaminated by the interpretations and theories of professional critics, would enable [them] to get on the closest possible terms with those texts."
Interestingly, though, as a student shackled with the task of reading and interpreting literature, Graff discovered that "being alone with the texts only left [him] feeling bored and helpless." And how could he not be: without exposure to literary criticism and its conventions, Graff was unable to learn the "language" necessary to become a voice in the critical conversation. In a sense, his teachers were asking him to survive in murky, shark-infested waters without a single swimming lesson.
So, literary criticism is important. Not only does it teach us the language of criticism and interpretation, but it also exposes us to critical conversations about what texts are and mean, how they succeed and fail, and why they are important. Moreover, it helps us move beyond simplistic discussions of a text's relative worth or value; it shows us, in other words, that more can be said about a text than whether it is "good" or "bad." If we let it, literary criticism can help us not only sound smarter, but be smarter.
Of course, as a literary critic (or, more accurately, a critic-in-training) who studies Mormon literature, I've noticed that we Mormons don't have the longest tradition of literary criticism. To be sure, we have some lovely essays written by Orson F. Whitney, Eugene England, and various others that theorize Mormon literature, but that body of work remains relatively small and decentralized — or, worse, unpublished and unavailable. Efforts have been made in the past, of course, to remedy this — the most significant being, perhaps, Eugene England and Lavina Fielding Anderson's Tending the Garden: Essays on Mormon Literature (Signature, 1996) — yet these efforts take the serious reader and student of Mormon literature only so far. While their general approach to Mormon literature is helpful, especially for younger Mormon critics learning the language of the trade, they offer little more than a broad discussion of recent trends — extended status updates on the current state of Mormon letters.
Things need to change — and by so saying, I recognize A) that I run the risk of sounding like an obnoxiously green missionary, reeking of cheap wool and MTC eau de naïveté, who shows up to his first area thinking he already knows everything there is to know about the Work, and B) that I'm probably preaching to the proverbial choir.
Nevertheless, in order for Mormon literature to be read and studied well — that is, in order for it to be taken seriously by both Mormons and non-Mormons (and everyone in between) — it needs to be shared, discussed, and taught in light of ongoing critical conversations that focus on texts individually rather than collectively. In order for this to happen, though, the artists and literary critics need to leave a record of this conversation in a physically accessible format that gives the conversation the credibility it needs to prosper in an academic setting. Otherwise, the language of Mormon literary studies will never be fully articulated, and every aspiring Mormon critic who comes along — at least those who want to do more than generalize — will be yoked with the task of starting the critical conversation up essentially from scratch, rather than building progressively upon it.
What I have in mind, ultimately, are book-length studies of the short stories and novels of Douglas Thayer; critical essays that approach The Backslider, The Evening and the Morning, and Angela Hallstrom's Bound on Earth from a variety of cultural perspectives; and even postcolonial readings of On the Road to Heaven and Lacanian takes on The Lonely Polygamist. (I don't want to write — or read — that last one, by the way, but someone might.) The range of critical approaches is limitless. Indeed, out of all of this, something like a distinctive Mormon literary theory or critical approach might be born.
But I'm getting a little carried away. Right now we need to focus on building upon the excellent foundation established by Eugene England and his contemporaries, the generation of Mormon scholars before my own. They've given us the rudiments of a critical language; our job now is to enrich it, publish it, and make it accessible to readers of Mormon literature — and the critics who will someday take our place, build upon our foundation.
Mormons, I know we're not supposed to criticize each other, but the time has come for us to be more critical. For the past thirty years — indeed, for the past 181 years — creative Mormon writers have been producing a rich Mormon literature that's not being read enough. While more literary criticism isn't going to attract millions of readers — that kind of thing only happens in my dreams — it will attracts some, I believe, as it builds credibility around Mormon literature and validates it in the eyes of the larger literary and academic community. More importantly, I believe it will inspire Mormon and non-Mormon scholars to look at these texts, learn their language, and engage the critical conversation.
If nothing else, critics, think of it this way: if more people are reading Mormon literature and taking it seriously, you've got a better chance of someone reading your astute (though decidedly un-sexy) literary criticism. It won't give you a readership of millions, but it just might up your street cred (ever-so-slightly) at the next ward mixer.

The 'Black Panther' Rests: Saying Goodbye To Serge Nubret
Tuesday, April 19, 2011, marks the passing of Serge Nubret, one of the greatest bodybuilders to ever step on stage. He was 72 years young. The cause of death remains unknown.
Our condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans around the world. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Personally, Serge Nubret has always been my one of my favorite bodybuilders. Most people learn about the champions of the present day, the Jay Cutlers and Kai Greenes, before learning about those who blazed the trail and put bodybuilding on the map. I began differently, building a collection of historic books and magazines predating 1980 before learning anything about modern bodybuilding. Of all the physique icons I encountered, Serge Nubret stood out the most.
Serge was known for his amazing aesthetics. Long, full muscle bellies leading down to tiny joints helped him win six world titles. He also seemed ageless, looking nearly as good in his later years as he did during his bodybuilding prime.
Along with being a great bodybuilder, Serge was a writer, businessman, and actor, appearing in the 1975 documentary Pumping Iron alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, for example. He was a man who loved bodybuilding, describing it as his "reason of being" in his book I Am...Me and God. Even in the last few years of his life, Serge was active in the fitness community, doing guest posing, writing, and even offering training advice on the Bodybuilding.com forums!
We pay tribute to a man who strove to be the best he could be. We celebrate the memory of the man who touched so many people's lives in such a positive way. His was a life well lived.
His words and images remain, and his spirit will endure.
Condolences to Serge Nubret's family can be left on his website: www.SergeNubret.com

Recycled Sweater Throw Pillows
By: Heidi Borchers for Inspired at Home
This eco-crafting idea uses recycled sweaters found at thrift stores or in the backs of closets to create cozy pillows. For the best results, look for sweaters with embellishments or great texture. This project comes to us compliments of Heidi Borchers for Inspired at Home.
Listen to the audio of this project. (mp3)
- Pillow form
- Ruler
- Chalk pencil or disappearing ink pen
- Embellished sweaters
- Sewing machine and thread (either complementary or contrasting color)
- Scissors
- Straight pins
- Decorative trim
- Hot glue and glue sticks
- Using pillow form as guide for size, mark sweater on right side, using the same measurement as pillow form (i.e. 16" form, draw 16" square on sweater.) Be certain that you shift your pillow form around sweater to include the most decorative areas!
- With wrong sides of sweater together, stitch along 3 sides of marked guidelines.
- Cut along stitched edges to ½" from stitched line. Cut along unstitched 4th edge too.
- Slip pillow form inside stitched sweater.
- Pin unstitched edges together to hold in place and stitch together.
- Working a small section at a time, place a line of glue along the stitched edge. Immediately lay trim into glue. Repeat until trim is glued along all four sides of pillow.
Heidi's Designer Tips: It's easier to stitch with a contrasting color thread so when it comes time to clip the edges, you can follow the stitching line. Because the trim will cover the stitching line, you don't need to worry about the color of the stitching. Also, if you don't sew, wherever the instructions tell you to sew, you can glue this project instead.

Great project. One I definitely will try--I have a perfect sewater for it! Way to go Heidi !!!! OrahLee-- a long time fan.
I love the sweater pillows. I have several sweaters that could possibly be used this way. I promise to "go green" and get them out to consider my options....
When sewing the side seams include twill tape or other non stretch material to prevent distortion. Iron on hem tape can also be used to preventing stretching. Mark equal lengths to create symmetrical sides. Kathy B.
I have some sweaters of my mother's as well. We lost her last year at age 89. One is a bright red wool pullover with her initials embroidered. A pillow from that sweater would be a lovely remembrance that I know she'd appreciate. Thanks for the idea!
My Mom passed away last year and so for my adult children I have decided to use some of Mom's sweaters to make these wonderful pillows. It will be a special way for them to remember their beloved Grandma...I am so happy to be able to do this for them and for myself. I have also included her holiday sweaters and sweatshirts to use for decorative pillows for Christmas. Thank you for sharing this idea!!!!! I love Fave Crafts!!!
Mom used to recreate from the old things to make beautiful things 40 years ago, still holds TRUE today. Good work FAVERCRAFTS!!!
i bought a gaudy large sweater from goodwill. i have been waiting for an idea as what to make out of it. thanks a bunch. phylpeek

The following remarks are excerpted from a keynote address given by Kerry Lobel, Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, at the fifth International Bisexual Conference held in Cambridge, MA from April 3 - April 5, 1998:
Twenty-five years after my coming out, and in NGLTF's twenty-fifth year, I find myself at the helm of the oldest national gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization. I'd like to tell you about my vision for NGLTF and the principles I hold dear as we work for social justice.
We must be a transformational movement &endash; one that brings all people forward together and that fundamentally challenges and transforms our society. At our core, we must recognize that we too have bought into the myths about how we are culturally represented. How many of our organizations are led by people of color, by bisexual or transgendered people? How many of our organizations work on issues like affirmative action, welfare, immigration, and childcare.
We act as if we believe the myth of gay whiteness, of gay wealth and all too many of us are content to be just like everyone else. Here's the reality. Not all of us want to be like everyone else. We make a serious mistake when we create a dress code for civil rights.
As a young woman, I was taught that bisexuals were fence sitters, unwilling or unable to choose a sexual orientation, unwilling to face the stigma of being gay or lesbian, seeking comfort in heterosexual privilege. What harm was done to me and others with these very notions cannot be calculated, but the harm to our movement has been enormous.
I believe that our process as a community must reflect the world that we want to build. If we want to be like everyone else, we will act like everyone else. We will be greedy, we will value style over substance, and we will cast out those that challenge us and our comfortable assumptions.
If we want to build a movement that is transformational, we will model honesty, we will model openness and we will take the risks that challenge conventional thinking. We will act with integrity in our personal relationships and in our relationships with our colleagues. We will seek out and lift up every voice, challenged by what we hear but not afraid. We will listen to every voice.
The true test of democracy is how it embraces those who look, act, and think differently, not just those who are the same. This is the world we dream of - a more compassionate society. One that values the worth and dignity of all people.
We can't subscribe to the "I'll get mine now and we'll add you later" mode of politics. As a woman, as a lesbian, as a Jew, I can't be a woman on Thursday, a lesbian on Friday, and a Jew on Saturday. And I challenge any organization that requires that I make that choice. Perhaps it is an old fashioned notion, but I believe that to move forward, each of us must move forward together.
Bisexual and transgender activists are forever transforming our understanding of sexual expression and gender identity. You have made great progress. For the first time, bisexual and transgender leaders are part of a roundtable, convened by NGLTF, of executive directors and chairs of national GLBT political organizations.
Together, you're challenging the increased reliance on gene-based theories of sexual orientation and paving the way for each of us to accept the fluidity that for many of us is our sexual expression. And perhaps you are leading us to the day where there will be less need and desire to categorize ourselves by sexual labels.
But I challenge you to go further. I challenge each of you to break through your world to new place, to challenge your assumptions, to develop new relationships, to act as though the world that you create for yourself and your community is the model that each of us should live by. I challenge to tear down your walls, to tear down your stereotypes, and to lead.

Excellent woman's calendar
Track your cycles, fertility, and more with this excellent application.
There are a lot of different ways to track fertility, menstruation, and the like, but with Advanced Woman Calendar, users may have found the simplest method. Users may never have to wonder about important times in their cycle again.
The program has a simple interface that always helps you stay informed. Initially, its four-month view looks like any organizational software. To the right are the color keys and various radio buttons with options for planning conception, avoiding pregnancy, or even information for conceiving a boy or girl. Below this is a read-out of how long you have until your period and how fertile you are that day. Only after users input their last period does the calendar come alive, with blues, yellows, pinks, whites, and purples. Each color signifies something different with your cycle and can be easily interpreted. To get an even clearer picture, another menu is included that allows users to track days they had sex, their mood, temperature, and whether or not they took their pill.
This 30-day trial is an excellent option for those who are interested in tracking their body's cycle and all the important developments that go along with it. We highly recommend this program.

Adams was born out of wedlock in Manila, in the Philippines. Her mother, Carmen Salvador, was of German and Philippine descent,[1][2] and her father, Jose Arrastia, was of Spanish and Filipino ancestry.[3] Neile's mother, a dancer, was the sister of basketball player and actor Lou Salvador, Sr.[4] Neile's father was Enrique Iglesias' maternal great-grandfather. Neile was first married (1956–1972) to actor Steve McQueen. Adams' influence with agents helped McQueen establish his own career.[citation needed] She was married to Alvin Toffel from 1980 until his death in 2005.
In 1960, she co-starred with McQueen and Peter Lorre in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents based on Roald Dahl's short story "Man from the South".[5][6]

Tunisia makes its mark by staying out of the international news … until recently
Nestled between Algeria and Libya on the southern Mediterranean coast, security and unity are the hallmarks of this country of 10 million. Having had only two presidents in the past 50 years, Tunisia is marked by political stability and prosperity. It is also a country of mixed cultural values. Islam and secularism both shape the minds and values of most Tunisians. Thanks to a strong and effective police force, peace and security reign, and millions of European tourists are welcomed each year. Islamists from neighbouring countries have made recent efforts to cause disruptions but have thankfully been thwarted.
Reaching Out
It is relatively easy to talk with Tunisians about the Gospel, though many do not show interest in spiritual things. Some who have experienced healing and deliverance in the name of Christ acknowledge that Jesus has changed their lives, yet still do not commit their lives to him. Others profess faith and then do not commit themselves. There are shining examples of committed individual disciples, but few truly indigenous house churches.
National Church
There is a small national church, with a handful of recognised local leaders. The church is composed mostly of well educated people who are more westernised than the majority of the population. The vast majority of believers and Christian workers live in the capital of Tunis (population 2 million). There are few believers, few workers, and very few gatherings of believers outside the capital city. In recent times a few believers have established residency in least four new cities and provincial capitals which previously had little or no Christian presence. With so few believers in these regions, the role of media, and especially Arabic satellite TV programming is still important in reaching vast parts of the country.
Fear Factor
Though direct persecution and arrests by the police are rare, many believers do live in fear of ostracism by their friends and families. The fear of persecution rather than the persecution itself is a major issue for most believers.
Prayer points:
* Pray for unity and trust among local believers.
* Pray for healthy marriages and strong families. Some young adult believers sometimes have difficulty finding mates.
* Pray for those who have experienced Christ in healings, dreams and deliverance to really commit their lives to him (Ephesians 5:11-20).
* Pray for effective discipleship of believers and 'near' believers (Mt. 28:20a). May the power of God and the truth of Christ to come to dominate and transform the lives of all believers (Colossians 1:28).
* Pray for more effective co-ordination and followup of media contacts (satellite, and radio broadcasts are done daily).
* Pray for wisdom for government leaders, especially in protecting the country from radical islamists (Romans 13:1-5).
* Pray for the undereducated and unemployed who are easily exploited and marginalised (Luke 6:20-21 and James 2:5).
* Pray for God to work in the new cities and towns that now have a resident witness for the first time in many years.

Background on Tunisia (World Factbook)
Rivalry between French and Italian interests in Tunisia culminated in a French invasion in 1881 and the creation of a protectorate. Agitation for independence in the decades following World War I was finally successful in getting the French to recognize Tunisia as an independent state in 1956. The country's first president, Habib BOURGUIBA, established a strict one-party state. He dominated the country for 31 years, repressing Islamic fundamentalism and establishing rights for women unmatched by any other Arab nation. Tunisia has long taken a moderate, non-aligned stance in its foreign relations. Domestically, it has sought to defuse rising pressure for a more open political society. In what became known as the Jasmine Revolution, a sudden and explosive wave of street protests ousted the authoritarian president, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, who had ruled with an iron hand for 23 years. On January 14, 2011 Mr. Ben Ali left the country, after trying unsuccessfully to placate the demonstrators with promises of elections. According to government figures issued later, 78 protesters died and 94 were injured during the demonstrations. A new constitution was drafted in February 2012. The interim government has proposed presidential and parliamentary elections be held in 2013.
Economy of Tunisia
Tunisia has a diverse economy, with important agricultural, mining, energy, tourism, and manufacturing sectors. Progressive social policies have helped raise living conditions in Tunisia relative to the region. Real growth slowed to a 15-year low of 1.9% in 2002 because of agricultural drought and lackluster tourism. Increased rain helped in 2003-05. However, a recession in agriculture, weak expansion in the tourism and textile sectors, and increasing import costs due to rising world energy prices cut growth. Tunisia is gradually removing barriers to trade with the EU.
Statistics for Tunisia

This week, actually for the past 3 weeks, Hot Mummee took it upon herself to craft her company's business plan.
Apparently the company has never had one. In hearing her describe the sections that are to go in, it sounded more like an extended version of a company profile than a business plan; a 12 inch, very extended version, like a greatest hits remixed 5 times with new added sampling and the chorus repeated 13 times and the sonnets rewritten to include previous thrown-out works.
Why am I babbling? Because that's what this business plan feels like. Hot Mummee has chosen to stay at home these 3 weeks, presumably under the pretext of non-interruption, to fully concentrate on getting this done. In my studies and (only 1 time) experience in writing a business plan, I have never come across the extent at which she is doing this for a business plan. She would be researching and scouring the net, looking for related news and industry and market trends, and would be analysing these and inputting them in her plan. This is in fact how a business plan ought to be written- that they should contain market (development) plans, but the extent she is covering this and other sections are, well; I shall reserve my comments.
Also, she would be drafting the document on her laptop, and using my laptop to access the neighbour's unsecured wifi; sometimes retyping what she found on my laptop into hers simply because my super-duper computer has a far better wifi hardware/reception than hers- cannot copy-paste. Or she'd be referring to the researched numbers, and graphing them into charts…
Oops, babbling again.
So the downside of this is that this Daddee has had to do most of the overnight Caleb-feeding, because Hot Mummee has been slaving over this document until un-God-ly hours.
Which also means that in my spare time, I have been trying to catch up on my sleep.
And little blogging.
No, I am not complaining….
And I am holding her to her words, when she said to me on some not too long ago squinty-eyed woke me outta my sleep night, "Sorry dear, I will make it up to you when this is all over…."
Heh heh.
In other news (and I guess as a result?) I spotted Caleb sprouting an upper tooth already! But what gets us is this: Both the bottom two teeth are crooked, like they form a "v", and now the first upper tooth looks like it is also coming out the same way.
Why? With my little knowledge of orthodontics or teeth knowledge, I would think teeth grew crooked because of overcrowding. That these being the first teeth and growing crooked already baffles everyone at home.
Also, the little man is already standing holding himself up on the cot's railings. It won't be long now before he is let loose on the walker!

hello, long time no speak.
so, I've lost most of my motivation to continue doing photography.
Maybe I'll get back in it, maybe I won't.
I'll be posting some pictures of my trip to Portugal soon.
I'm sorry to the people who have appreciated my pictures/posts.
I can't really explain why this is happening.
I guess it's something that comes with depression, at least that's what I've been experiencing.
Unfortunately, all the hobbies I love slowly become something I start to hate.
I'll be on here occasionally, maybe more.
Trying to find motivation to do anything right now.

The Audi R8 TDI concept is the first 12-cylinder diesel engine in a "high-performance roadgoing sports car," Audi says.
The V-12 TDI with a displacement of six liters generates 500 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque.
"Audi has a history of" putting concept cars such as this one into production, says Johan de Nysschen, executive vice president of Audi of America, with a smile.

Audi says it will start selling the top-of-the-line version of its new TT sports car -- the TTS -- late this year in the USA. It will be avalable as both a coupe and a folding-top roadster.
Power is from a two-liter, four-cylinder engine with dierct injection and turbocharging. Power ratings are 265 horsepower and 258 pounds-feet of torque. Audi claims a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds for the coupe and a governor-limited top speed of 155 mph.
TTS models all will have quattro all-wheel drive.
Prices will come later.
Audi says it will make the look of its small A3 crisper to accent some changes for the 2009 model, on sale in the USA about September.
In classic auto-industry fashion the car, on sale here only since 2005, gets revisions to the nose and tail and some other cosmetic tweaks. Interior trim and switchgear also are updated.
Audi's giving away nothing in advance, however, providing only this head-on photo of the '09 A3.
Engine choices remain the 2-liter four-cylinder rated 200 hp, or 3.2-liter six-cylinder with 250 hp.
The four-door sedan A4, seen here in Euro trim (The U.S. model will look similar), will offer the four-cylinder in front-wheel drive configuration, mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission, or with quattro all-wheel drive and a choice of six-speed manual or the Tiptronic. The sedan also can be ordered with a 3.2-liter V-6 rated 265 hp and 243 lbs.-ft. of torque. It comes only one way -- quattro and Tiptronic.
Audi forecasts a 5% gain in fuel economy for the V-6, and 15% for the four-banger. Those improvements would result in government ratings of about 21 mpg in combined driving for the V-6, and 27 or 28 mpg for the four-cylinder.
Audi says prices'll range from $28,000 to $38,000, similar to the current A4.
From 2005 to end of 2007 Audi introduced 19 vehicles in the USA, some of them versions of vehicles already in production. That's a lot for a brand that sells fewer than 100,000 cars a year in the USA. It's part of the brand's drive to boost annual sales worldwide to 1.5 million, from 960,000 last year.
Latest product announcement: a bigger, less-thirsty, more-sophisticated A4 coming this fall as a 2009.
Two versions will be available: A station wagon, or Avant, is to be available in the USA only with a 2-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder rated 211 hp, and 258 lb.-ft., and six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. ...
Audi is quite proud of the two-liter TDI unit under the bonnet of the A3 TDI clubsport quattro concept.
The engine delivers 224 hp and almost 332 lb-ft of torque and has a top speed of 149 mph. That is a boost from the base engine's 140 hp or 170 hp.
The exhaust system comes with controllable resonance chambers on both tailpipes to "amplify the rich, sonorous sound," Audi says.
The car will be showcased at the 27th annual Lake Wörther Tour in Austria at the end of the month.

This year, the Moscow car show was entered for the first time into "category A" by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, the Paris-based judge of such events, Reuters says.
That puts it it a field with the shows in Geneva, Paris, London, Detroit and Frankfurt.
The Audi A3 TDI averaged 45 mpg in the just-completed Audi Mileage Marathon, which took various diesels over roads from New York to Santa Monica.
The marathon was a chance to show off the Audi Q7 TDI SUV, which will be Audi's first TDI vehicle available in the Unites States early next year. It averaged 28 mpg over the entire drive.
The Audi R8 launched in India priced at 11,700,000 rupees ($245,283).

How do you make a 420 hp V-8 seem puny?
If you are Audi, you launch a supercharged version of your R8 sports car -- the R8 V-10.
The European version comes with a 5.2-liter, 10-cylinder engine provides 525 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque.
It is due in Germany early next year and in the U.S. sometime in the second half of the year.
Audi has tweaked the looks and performance of its Q7 for 2010.
It says the Q7 offers six engines, two gasoline-powered and four diesel.
One of the diesel engines, the V-12 TDI, makes the Q7 the world's most powerful diesel SUV, Audi says modestly.

Vietnam's car sales dropped 24% in May from a year earlier as tight credit and a weakening economy hit demand.
