Travel between:
#OFFER.PS# and #OFFER.PE#
Hong Kong is a melting pot of eastern and western cultures, a shopper's paradise and a fast-paced metropolis located in the middle of breathtaking nature. You can start your city holiday by, for example, taking the Star Ferry to Kowloon, where only the imagination is the limit in the offerings of the street market. Those looking for a more laid-back atmosphere will find what they need at the popular Repulse Bay Beach.
The astounding view to the turquoise Pacific Ocean from Victoria Peak leaves you speechless, and the Ocean Park Amusement Park, aquariums and giant pandas appeal to the entire family. The dozens of enormous shopping centres make a shopper's head spin. The half-hour ferry ride to the Lantau Island takes you light-years away from the pulsating city life: instead of skyscrapers, the peaceful island is the home of temples and monasteries, fishing villages, magnificent hiking routes and solitary sandy beaches. If you travel in January and February, be sure to enjoy Chinese New Year's celebrations with fireworks and paper lanterns.
The airport is located 34 km southwest of Hong Kong.
Check-in is also possible at Hong Kong and Kowloon railway stations, where it has to be completed 1.5 hour before flight departure.
Check-in to the evening flight AY070 can also be completed 2 hours before departure at the SkyPier harbor when arriving at the airport with ferries from the Pearl River Delta area.

The 2010 Census: The Ridiculously Detailed New York Times Map
As you can see, this map divides human beings into the five standard types: white, black, Asian, Hispanic, and other. And it characterizes every single city block in the country according to those types. It scales up show whole regions of the country, and scales down so you can check out your own corner of your neighborhood. It is, as the title of this blog post indicates, ridiculously detailed. Which is to say, if you are the sort of person who can spend hours pouring over the patterns of segregation/integration in various US cities (hi!), an enormous time sink.
And, for good measure, they include maps like this, which shows Hispanic population by county, and scales down to individual census tracts:
77 comments:
You should correct your title. This is not data from the 2010 Census.
The Census Bureau has only released the state population totals from the 2010 Census. It has not released 2010 Census data for any other geographies, nor has it released any data on race. All of that will come later this year.
The data that the Times used to create this is from the Census's American Community Survey, which released new 5-year sample data from 2005-2009. This is not the 2010 Census.
This is clearly stated on the Times site.

Also, those are not city blocks in the dot map. The dots are randomly placed representations within a tabulation area. Those areas change from county to tract as you zoom in.

Severe storms swept across northeast Algeria this weekend. There was widespread damage as violent storms swept across the northeast of the country, killing 20 people and injuring 56. The worst conditions appeared in regions of Tebessa, Tlemcen and M'sila. Torrential rains with thunderstorms and high winds wreck havoc across 22 of the country's 48 districts in northeastern regions.
Two days of heavy rains caused floodings. The civil protection services also intervened following the infiltration of rainwater in the provinces of Algiers, Guelma, Skikda, Jijel, and Khenchela for clearing sludge, borders from a river at a place called "Timedouane" in the locality of Sidi Abdelaziz.
The storm, a deep area of low pressure, developed in the western side of the Mediterranean Sea late last week. It brought heavy rains to the French Riviera and the southeastern fringes of Spain. System moved eastwards. As the low pressure region drifted across Italy and the Adriatic Sea, it helped firefighters in Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro in battles with forest fires.

Here's hoping that the Court holds off on hearing the Prop 8 case until DOMA has been overturned. Until then, it could be vulnerable to attack on the issue of whether or not the plaintiffs have standing to bring suit.
Gay marriage is not illegal in the US. In fact, marriage ceremonies for same sex couples occur every day of the year in every state of the union.
Please let the Supreme Court do the right thing and finally recognize the obvious fact that bans against gay marriage are nothing but poorly disguised hateful xenophobia written into law.
It does not matter whether or not anyone is 'for' or 'against' gay marriage. It is completely irrelevant how this strikes ones moral sensibilities. The simple, inescapable fact is that there is no reason that the law should grant rights to heterosexuals that it denies gays.
Legally enshrined discrimination is a relic that will be looked upon by not-so-distant future generations as the equivalent of racial segregation, something to be astonished by and ashamed of. Ashamed, not so much of the hatred that these bans evidence (rare are the times that humanity has been tolerant of differences), but of the fact that the hatred could have been the law of a country that claims to respect the rights of the individual over the tyranny of opinion.
We can only hope that the Supreme Court will save us from the disgusting spectacle of gay marriage. Disgusting indeed. A man marrying a man is not only disgusting but contrary to nature. The species would never survive if all we had were homosexual relationships. Two women having sex is visually appealing. So very appealing to most heterosexual men. But a woman marrying another woman also seems very abnormal.
But it is wrong to believe, as has been stated here, that Anthony Kennedy will play the crucial role. Anthony Kennedy is no legal talent. He never was and he never will be. He came to the Court in 1988, but he is inherently a weak legal intellect. We must not forget that he was appointed by Reagan after Reagan's first two choices failed to get through. The first choice was Robert Bork, who was rejected by the Senate. The second was Douglas Ginsburg, who withdrew his nomination. After his first two choices ran into trouble, Reagan gave up on nominating powerful legal intellects. He settled for an imbecile by the name of Anthony Kennedy.
Nor is Chief Justice Roberts the most powerful justice on the Court. He seemed almighty powerful in the ObamaCare ruling because he unexpectedly sided with Obama and gave Obama his ObamaCare. But Roberts was always going to be uneasy and under the spotlight with any issue involving Obama. We must not forget that he fumbled the oath. The first ever presidential oath given to a black man. For a man with a Harvard legal education to stumble on something so simple led many to question whether Roberts was uneasy with the idea of a black president. This would forever haunt Roberts and ObamaCare was his opportunity to show that he is no racist. In ObamaCare, the first task for Roberts was not to flaunt his judicial prowess or legal acumen. That was the last thing on his mind. His top priority was to prove to the nation, indeed the world, that he is no racist. He sided with Obama.
But we cannot look to ObamaCare and think that Roberts has somehow turned to the left, or that he has become more centrist. Nor should we conclude that he is an unpredictable swing vote on gay marriage. There is no sympathy for gay marriage in the heart of this staunch conservative. He is very much in the anti-gay camp. Anti-gay all the way. Roberts is no gay lover.
True power resides with the newest of them all. It is Elena Kagan who is the dominant force on this Court. We are so accustomed to thinking that newest means the least powerful because we have been conditioned to think that more power comes with more seniority. But we need to readjust our thinking if we are to understand how powerful this woman really is. On the Supreme Court, your power doesn't just come from your vote. Real power on the Supreme Court comes from your ability to influence others. It is all about how many of your colleagues you can take with you. How many you can sway to your way of thinking. And this is a woman who knows how to sway. And how to pressure. And how to get them to surrender. She is the true leader of this Court. It is with her that true power resides.
And so the fate of gay marriage rests with Elena Kagan. We must look to her to figure out what the Supreme Court intends to do with gay marriage. Where the Court goes is where she will take it.
Gay marriage is important enough, but for many who await the Court's verdict, there is another, perhaps more exciting issue.
How Elena rules on this one is not just about the future of gay marriage in the United States. It is about how this single and very appealing woman feels about the issue. Many of us heterosexual men are very attracted to her. And there can be no doubt that the lesbian woman looks at her and feels something. Something mysterious and powerful. A longing. A possibility. Her highly anticipated ruling will let them know how she feels.
"The species would never survive if all we had were homosexual relationships. "
So, are you telling me the only reason you don't have a homosexual relationship is because it is not government sanctioned?
The only thing disgusting here is your comment. The dustbin of history beckons! =)
The author of this post manages to spew gay hate and homoerotic desire in the space of one paragraph...
Perhaps you haven't noticed, but the most rabidly homophobic people are often revealed as closet cases themselves. Beware what you hate the most, as it may be you!
I have always heard the marriage equality argument that if two people love each other then why cant they marry.
Why has nobody ever questioned the gay community what is their exact interpretation of marriage. Do they believe marriage is a lifetime commitment to one sexual partner. US Studies have shown that most gays support open relationships with other sexual partners which contradicts the mainstream understanding of marriage.The last US census poll showed that gay couples amounted to only 1% . I think the other 99% should have a better understanding of gay relationships before redefining a core element of society.
The gay community has been asked again and again and again what we think of marriage. And the answer is invariably the same as most heterosexuals. Public, social and legal recognition and protection of a relationship.
Seperate but equal doesn't work.
You then make a classic mistake. The government denies marriage to same sex couples and then people complain that we don't live or act like those in a heterosexual marriage do. If you deny people something, don't be hypocritical by complaining that we then act differently.
Either way, what heterosexual or homosexual couples get up to in or out of the bedroom is no one's business. As long as no law is not being broken, then what does it matter? Last year 106,000 Australian couples got married. And yet 49,000 couples got divorced. That's nearly 50%. Obviously (to paraphrase you) most straights support getting divorced which contradicts the actual reason for getting married.
Not a reason to abolish marriage altogether is it?
As for the US census; like many, you have heard this and repeated it parrot fashion as an actual fact. Do some research, the US census doesn't collect information on sexual orientation.
Did you even check the US Census website before writing responding ?
I refer you to the National American Community Survey (ACS)
2010 which reported "nationally, about 1 percent of all couple households were same-sex couples." http://www.census.gov/hhes/samesex/data/acs.html
In the Australian context, 2011 Census reported 33,714 same-sex couples which is only 0.7% of all coupled families.
My point is that if gay community do not promote a monogamous lifetime commitment then the word 'marriage' does not accurately to describe their relationship.
Andy it is well known that the whole point isn't for gays to get married but to force Americans to believe in the gay agenda/myth, It is the new religion liberals want you to believe in.
Have Faith Andy believe, don't question, because if you don't believe, liberals won't reason with you they will just call you names and insult you, wait? oh thats exactly what religious crazies do.
All this time I thought I'd finally escaped one set of Ideological religious crazies (religious fundamentalist) just to encounter a new one (Liberals)
Why are white people so intolerant across the whole spectrum, so annoying living in the West with such small mindedness.
Yes mate I did check the US Census website before replying and I repeat my statement. The US Census does not collect information on sexual orientation.
You claimed "The last US census poll showed that gay couples amounted to only 1%"
1% of households with 'couples'. You decry that perhaps "the other 99% should have a better understanding of gay relationships before redefining a core element of society".
Can you not see the deficiency in your own logic? You keep complaining that same-sex relationships are tiny. You keep complaining that same-sex relationships don't conform to a norm that heterosexual relationships do without the slightest basis in fact. My parent's marriage is different to your parent's marriage and it is different to the people who live across the road from me.... indeed it is different to my older brother who has a child and yet has never married his partner.
Your entire logic is based on the belief that because it hasn't existed, it shouldn't exist. The same argument could have been (and probably was) used for denying women the right to vote and civil rights for blacks.
Extending a franchise doesn't change the existing rights of those that are married.
"My point is that if gay community do not promote a monogamous lifetime commitment then the word 'marriage' does not accurately to describe their relationship."
I would have thought the fact that so many gay people are asking for the right to marry would show that many of them do indeed want to "promote a monogamous lifetime commitment". It is people like you that are intent on denying people this right that are therefore promoting the opposite of what they believe in.
The fact that so many heterosexual marriages end in divorce does not mean that ALL marriages will end in divorce. I do not assume that every straight couple that is about to marry is going to divorce. And I do not judge those that are married by the same measure that I would judge those that divorced.
Perhaps I am more accepting and less judgemental.
What exactly is this "gay agenda/myth" that you speak of? What that homosexuality is normal? That homosexuality occurs in every culture and race on this planet?
I'd really love to hear what my "agenda" is or what "myth" I am part of. If you really believe this then you will be easily be able to qualify that belief.
"liberals won't reason with you they will just call you names and insult you". Hang on a minute. Don't you then go on to call people "ideological religious crazies" and white people intolerant.
I especially liked your recent post 2 days ago: "Yes you proved youre a moron, congrats. and your idiotic post provide the evidence. Come back when you can calm down and act like an adult instead of ranting like a bipolar religious zealot."
Who is name calling now?
Indeed generalising about an entire race of people by calling them intolerant is actually racist.
So now you are not only intolerant but also racist.
But honestly the most farcical part of your comment is "so annoying living in the West with such small mindedness".
You really should look up the definition of small mindedness because so far your seem to be fulfilling that definition quite well. Indeed after escaping from "religious fundamentalists" you now find that you are siding with them. Perhaps you should look up the definition of hypocrite as well.
I throw back some more of your own words: "insult everyone, never actually provide any evidence or use reasoning and then say you're right."
Considering you have claimed to be entirely non-religious, your anti-gay stance (I won't call it homophobia) is really rooted in any logic.
Perhaps you escaped to the wrong country. Though considering you have shown yourself to be intolerant, racist, illogical, small minded and a hypocrite.... perhaps you are fitting in quite well.
Indeed you seem to have become everything you despise.
I always like certain parties claiming homosexuality is unnatural. Well, yes if you ignore bonobos, and the widely documented same sex acts in the wild across many species. It's also fun to ponder the idea that certain parties apparently would know what to ummm shrew unless society told them to do so.
And then there is the research in animal hubandry for a blood test to identify all those sheep that find others of the same gender fetching. Farmers want to cull em young.
I can understand that you feel threatened by these statistics but the fact remains that same-sex relationships are an extreme minority in society and this issue is over represented in the media by a powerful and vocal lobby. This explains why nobody is calling for a national referendum.
Open relationships are widely accepted in the gay community but this is never publicly discussed, as they are worried it will undermine the legal fight for same-sex marriage. The majority will never support open marriages as it is perceived to be destabilizing to the family unit.
Oh Andy92 I profusely apologise if my comments have given you the impression that I am threatened. It is totally understandable, I suppose, that someone who continues to make non sequiturs, would form a false impression.
I have never claimed that same-sex relationships are not a minority. Of course they are. Homosexuals are a minority. Sort of logical that those in a relationship would then be an even smaller minority.
As for accusing homosexuals of having a "powerful and vocal lobby". Why thank you. I'm extremely proud that people like you think this. With so many lobby groups out there, it is easy to get lost amongst all the special interests. I'm glad we're making ourselves heard.
And I further agree with you that open relationships are widely accepted in the gay community but you are wrong; this is very much discussed. It isn't exactly a secret if people such as you know about it. Is it?
But you are wrong that we think this is something that will undermine our fight for equality. We are accepting of the differences that our culture encompasses.
As for the majority not accepting open marriages. What does this have to do with anything. Your arguments keep veering around searching for foundation. The government doesn't regulate what goes on in a marriage unless it causes harm to someone ie. spousal or child abuse. Adultery is rarely illegal and isn't an argument to outlaw marriage for everyone.
As for calling a referendum. LMAO. Why what a good idea! Like these:
Washington Referendum 74
Minnesota Amendment 1
Maryland Question 6
Maine Question 1. 2012
Perhaps you should have read the article more closely. As for a US referendum, there is no ability for a nationwide US referendum to be held. Research would have told you that.
In Australia, as marriage is not a constitutional issue, there is no legal avenue to hold a referendum to allow same-sex marriage.
At the moment; I find this argument...
..the most interesting regarding the above Economist article.
Thanks to all...
Cloudwarrior, you agree that open relationships are widely accepted in the gay community. In the Australian context, the Marriage Act states clearly states that marriage is a monogamous lifetime commitment.
"Marriage means the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life."
Are you also going to lobby the government to get monogamy removed or will you just pick and choose which parts of the law to support?
If you dont support the entire meaning of marriage why change the law at all ??
Congratulations Andy92
You just proved that heterosexuals are not entitled to enjoy the institution of marriage either.
So unless you support making adultery and divorce illegal, you're pretty much a hypocrite.
Thanks for making my point.
You have taken this discussion to a new low.
marriage is a monogamous lifetime commitment. Nobody enters a marriage with the Intent of committing adultery or getting a divorce, they indicate a marriage breakdown.
Oh Andy92, please stop already.
You really are making this too easy. Indeed you are almost arguing the case for me.
So I should judge people on their INTENTIONS when marrying, not their actions while married.
Perhaps you should stop being a hypocrite and start doing the same for homosexuals that also want a monogamous lifetime commitment.
Way, way too easy!
"THE battle for what its backers call "marriage equality" has been waged on three fronts: in legislatures, in courtrooms and at the ballot-box."
You mean four; you omitted pop culture. It's hard to look anywhere these days and not see signs of the agenda to "normalize" homosexuality and foster acceptance of the lifestyle, especially amongst the "rising generation." Before I cancelled my subscription to the (very weak) Newsweek, it seemed every issue had some article about homosexuality. We are bombarded with messages on the subject, trying to equate it with normal sexuality.
I completely agree. That "Glee" program is the worst perpetrator. Since when have high-schoolers celebrated tolerance and diversity?
There was a time when autism and madness were called the same. Today autism and schizophrenia are recognized as 2 different mental disorders. So just call gay marriage something else. And all will be fine.
And while at it, also replace the rainbow as symbol... I mean come on...! Of all the gazillion items in this world, why choose one that is so universal? The favorite drawing in all preschool classrooms, a natural phenomenon that the whole world (gay and not gay) enjoys?
It may be important to emphasize that marriage and domestic relations are areas that have traditionally been regarded as purely state concerns. This is why DOMA was, and remains, offensive to those of us on the (perhaps vestigial) libertarian wing of the Republican Party.
Like the dodo, the moa, and other curious ratites with vestigial wings, libertarian conservatives -- where not extirpated completely -- now serve mainly as ungainly moving target practice for those equipped with modern rhetorical weapons. Yet, an awful lot of constitutional law still on the books still reflects our quaint beliefs; and the Court may well decide to blow the dust off a few of those decisions and trot them out one more time.
Yes, they were traditionally state concerns because no one believed that a state would attempt to warp the definition of marriage so drastically. Libertarianism has its limits. If you can't accept those limits, go buy a piece of land somewhere and re-enact the Wild West.
This is one issue where the conservatives are hamstrung by their unnatural relationship with their religious conservative wing. The AIDS epidemic was largely initiated by homosexuals running rampant and sleeping with multiple partners. Education has largely but not completely shifted the epidemic to poor straights who use injection drugs or who consort with such people. The long term solution is to encourage monogamy amongst homosexuals, gay marriage does that. Republicans consistently win married couples with children. Gay marriage swells those ranks. Republicans as GSENSEI notes prefer lower taxes, gay marriage provides that. Also there are peripheral issues. Educated whites tend to go overwhelmingly for the Democrats. Part of this is because of the social backwardness of Republican positions. What if the Republican party transformed itself into a fiscally conservative party that was in favor of freedom from government intrusion, they might pick up the nation's professional class. It seems that their hatred of gays and their liaison with bible trumpery is getting in the way of their interests. Perhaps they will pick up a Supreme Court victory to ease their pain. More likely, I think they will be given more time outside of government to reflect on the folly of trying to cram the government into a place that it doesn't belong, the bedroom.
"an anomaly that has led to, among other things, bereaved partners facing huge inheritance-tax bills on the death of a spouse."
What? So a law supported predomiantly by the republican party means indivduals have to pay MORE tax?
Where is an outraged Grover Norquist? Where are the angry white men in three corner hats? Don't they realise this means that talented American entreprenuers now have NO incentive to work hard, start businees or save for the furture?
What about the economy? Will someone PLEASE think of the economy!!!
Gay marriage has nothing to do with equality and everything to do with changing cultural institutions. The problem with marriage is it is also a religious/cultural institution.
If the issue was purely to have the same legal status and rights as married individuals than gays would be happy with civil unions. But they are not.
This is more about forcing change of belief on unwilling cultural institutions (religious). I agree with the concept of free will, but not at the cost of freedom of belief as enshrined in the bill of rights.
If two gay people get married, do you suddenly become less married?
Is there a finite amount of "marriage" going around, and we don't have enough to let gay people have some?
One of the more cogent things said about last election was how the decline of two parent family and the decline of marriage in general has made more people hostile to conservative ideas. Well, 10 million more married men and women, mostly white, the Republicans should be all for this.
It gets very tiresome to continually be told what should make me happy or what I should expect in life.
First off, same-sex marriage has everything to do with equality. If I am treated differently by my government simply because of how I was born, then I am treated differently. If that treatment is government policy or law, then I am discriminated against.
Marriage in the modern world is a civil institution not a religious institution.
Denying me the right to marry for having blue eyes would be ludicrous. Just like denying mixed marriages is now viewed as ludicrous. You are born with your skin colour.... your eye colour.... and your sexuality.
Your belief that "gays would be happy with civil unions" is wrong. Because we are not fighting for civil unions. We are fighting for equality. Full equality before the law. Do not tell me what I want or think.
Because you are WRONG!
If I am good enough to be taxed as an equal by my government, then I am good enough to be equal full stop.
As for forcing change on "unwilling cultural institutions".... how? Churches now can choose who they marry and this wouldn't change. Honestly, hardly any heterosexuals are getting married in churches now, so there is no need to worry that many gay people would want it either. No fault divorce was foisted on churches and they survived.
Indeed the very concept of freedom of religion was contrary to many churches when it was first created. So churches have been adapting to civil law for a couple of centuries now.
There is more in the US consitution than freedom of religion.
Gay marriage has nothing to do with equality and everything to do with changing cultural institutions. The problem with marriage is it is also a religious/cultural institution.
This is utter rubbish. This issue has everything to do with equality. If you are an atheist or divorced or just not that bothered you are legally entitled to get married in city hall and it has nothing to do with anyones church. This is one of the grea things about America unlike say Idrael.
You are making the argument that marriage is a religious institution only. That isn't true and has not been true for a few centuries in the West.
Religious marriage is a religious and cultural institution. Civil marriage is the province of the state. In all places in the United States, civil marriage - administered by a magistrate of the government, not by a religious body - can be obtained.
Claiming that a civil union is a marriage in all but religious terms ignores the existence of civil marriages and the implicit acceptance of marriage as a formal status within the province of the government.
No religious organization need sanction a civil marriage; that is their choice. No proposal for gay marriage aims to force religious organizations to recognize marriages which they do not want to. That would be absurd.
Your comment about civil unions is misinformed. The Federal government, by law, does not recognize civil unions and will not provide spousal benefits to registered partners of people in civil service or the military. US states are not obligated to recognize civil unions from another state. Moreover, not all civil unions confer the same rights in each state. Wisconsin, Colorado, and Maryland have domestic partnership laws that do not include many of the rights of marriage.
It should also not surprise you that being given civil unions, even with full rights, smacks of being "separate but equal" because it does not carry the connotations of marriage. One might suggest - and the California attorney general did - that two people in a civil union dissolve it for reasons of tax changes, for example, but change the context to marriage and it becomes patently absurd to ask someone to do so. People simply do not treat civil unions the same as even a civil marriage. That's something that cannot be legislated, only adapted to.
Hyunsmith, you're flat out wrong. This has EVERYTHING to do with equality.
"If the issue was purely to have the same legal status and rights as married individuals than gays would be happy with civil unions. But they are not."
I'm going to laugh off your claim about knowing what gays will be happy with, and instead tell you to open your American history book... ready? "Civil Union" is exactly like "separate but equal". How well did that work out? Do share.
you make no sense,
using emotional arguments works for children but really you're an adult, act like it
using caps makes you sound smarter, thats reall going to win arguments, but hey Americans get dumber everyday, keep it up.
Before you go on talking about marriage, I think you should first learn the difference between "then" and "than". Just a thought.
Marriage is a legally recognized status, not just a religious or cultural institution.
Law should not discriminate. Culture is, thankfully, coming to see such discrimination for the hate that it is. Religion... well... usually takes it a few hundred years to catch up with the right thing to do anyway.
I am extremely proud that of the five people that replied to you, it was solely me that you decided to reply to.
And did you use that reply to actually rebut my reply nor to further support your own opinion.
No, you claimed that I make no sense. Well how do I make no sense. Spell it out.
As for using emotional arguments. Where is the emotion? You seem very confident in calling people names and calling my arguments childish but then again it is you that acts like a child and doesn't actually argue a point.
You deflect!
As for using caps, yes I use them to add EMPHASIS. You know, to try and highlight something that someone might have trouble grasping. It is especially helpful for those who don't follow logic very easily and sometimes for those with low IQs. I'm guessing I used it correctly.
As for Americans getting dumber...... umm don't you live in America? You talk about escaping there from a country full of religious fundamentalists and many of your posts complain (ad nauseum) about how little you like America. I sure how you didn't take out citizenship because that would add a whole new dimension to your statement that "Americans get dumber everyday".
But its a moot point for me as I am not American. Though you seem to believe that my country will be a good country for you to move to when things deteriorate too much in the US.
Anyway, thank you for replying to me. It is always a pleasure that people of your calibre are the ones arguing against equal rights.
It is probably why our continual progress on equal rights has more successes than failures.

Interesting... Thanks.
I wonder what the National Organization for Marriage guy is trying to say. Is that really a threat to escalate? And what would escalation even mean, if it is to be within the bounds of the law?
Reply #1:
In nature - think about the weather. What happens when a "high-pressure system" is quickly replaced with a "low-pressure system"? Think about the kinetics. Can or not? :-)
Reply #2:
You wrote "...within the bounds of the law".
What about the laws of nature?
Could someone with a Constitutional Law background please explain to me how the full faith and credit clause (Article IV, Section 1) doesn't make this an open and shut case. Texas seem OK with my marriage license from Michigan, how can they discriminate against a same sex one from Massachusetts?
It isn't "open and shut" because of the nature of our federal system and history. The majority of states have passed either statutes or constitutional amendments stating that only a marriage between a man and a woman is valid. Also, these same laws explicitly reject the validity of same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries. Justice Scalia will, no doubt, latch onto the historical argument. That is, the Full Faith and Credit Clause has NEVER been used to force a state to recognize a marriage against its will. This was true even when some states refused to recognize interracial marriage. Certainly the case for using the Clause is more compelling in the case of interracial marriage. Given this history, it is unlikely that the Court's opinion will rely heavily on that Clause.
Thank you for the response. As a legal lay person reading the Constitution, it seems pretty straightforward.
Because the Full Faith and Credit clause allows Congress to "prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof."
In the case of DOMA, Congress prescribed that the effect of same-sex marriages in other States is none. It can certainly be argued that this is a violation of due process, but it's entirely legal under just Full Faith and Credit.

I figured a new thread would be the best place to get the ball rolling on the local informal "outing" for those of us looking to sneak in a few more rounds before the leaves start to turn.
First step, let's get a potential date discussion going and then we can work on destinations.
Do you all want to target a weekend or a weekday?
The weeks of Sept. 16th and Sept. 23rd are looking good on my end.
My husband David Bulpett works for Acushnet. We'd love to get together some time. Looks like we missed this outing though. Let us know. K?
Fantastic describes the day we had.
Just wanted to say thanks for a terrific day at Pinehills.
It was great playing with TT staff member Rick, and TT members Josh, and Brian.
Hope we can put another local event together before the weather turns.
Thanks again,
Hi Kevin,
It was a great time today and glad to hear you enjoyed the round. Always nice to catch up with some local Team Titleist members.
Let's definitely try to tee it up again before the end of the season.
Mike, we could not have had a better day for a round. It was super, and I was so glad to meet you, Brian, Jerry, Josh, Kevin, Rick E and Rick V. So nice to have a real person to match up with their on-screen personas. To finish a great day, the Pats pulled out a well balanced win in Atlanta. Maybe we should play before all Pats night games, hmmmm. And remember to "Ready Putt".
Thanks again, Arthur
Could not say it better.
thanks for all the work putting it together.
we all enjoyed meeting each other and spending the day together.
agree with Kevin, lets do it again.
No worries, guys. It was a great way to spend a Sunday!
Again, great meeting you all.
To echo everyone, a great time was had by all.
Mike and Rick are both class acts as were all the fellow TT members out there. If anyone is interested in coming up north, I''m sure Brian and I can organize an outing at our club Thompson in N. Reading before the season's over.
Thanks again to Mike and everyone who made this possible.
Here are a few pictures from the day... sorry, we were too busy splitting fairways to take a bunch of photos. :)
One handsome crew...
Getting ready to tee it up...
Just a bit of carry here...
Great day with a great group!
Those are beautiful pics. Great to see TT members getting a chance to get together on what is evidently a great day for golf on a great course! Thanks for sharing!
Josh and Brian,
I would love to join you guys on an outing in Northern MA later this month. I'm away this weekend but the rest of the October weekends are fairly open. And there's always November, assuming the weather holds.Cheers!Jeff
I hope that there will be another gathering. Would like to join the fun and meet everyone.
Brian and Josh,
Would love to make the trip up your way if something gets planned.
Pinehills was a blast.
Let's see if we can drum up some interest and get out there one more time.
Our Sunday morning league is winding down quickly, so I'd be very interested in getting out with you guys before the end of the season.
Josh and Brian
i would love to join you.
pine Hills was a blast.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

Yes, I recommend this product.
"These socks are the greatest! I have a problem with sweaty feet and cotton socks are out of the question for me. I actually bought these socks because of the material and did not get caught up on the "ventilation" throughout the sock. I have other socks made of the same material and the New Balance socks are much cooler and my feet stay dryer. These will be my new and only running socks I will ever buy. Another plus is they stay put unlike other no show socks."

Engine Misfire Under Load
Vehicles with a V6 engine may develop an engine misfire under load (acceleration). This can be caused by a valve cover gasket leaking oil into a spark plug well, shorting the spark plug to the cylinder head. To repair this concern, the valve cover needs to be resealed and the spark plugs and wires should be replaced.
