The Society has maintained the Honte for twelve years. ^ The tmbatly increased cost of niaintenance and of ^transportation were some of the reasons, but th^ de¬ ciding factor in the decision waa the difllculty of collecting funds which the St. VinfeeAt de PaUl Society, in com¬ mon with all charitable associations not directly engaged in war work, suf¬ fers from at the present time. It was suggested that the buildings at Freeport might be used as a rest house for convalescent women, espe¬ cially those with young children, a project which the Spiritual Director, tine EJdt, Louise Finger, Ann^ Gold-j Mons.

The sol¬ diers, under command of their col¬ onel, came out on a little hike to see the ocean but at the end of a 7-mile walk were still a long way from their destination, with the march back in anticipation. Captain Hanse tried to make ar¬ rangements at the bathing pavilion and found that there would be a spe¬ cial price of 10 cents each,'about |160 for the crowd, if the lads had their suits witb them—which it is hard¬ ly anticipated that they did, so they were marched to a specially selected place free from mosquitoes and sightseen and invited to get their swim, with bathing suits if they had them, but to get the swi/n, while the eats were being looked up.^ We have not the opportunity to go into details, but everybody helped, and all the boys were fed and went through Freeport on their way home that afternoon singing one big new song from Southern lads and it sound¬ ed good to we Freeporters. It went like this: , What's the matter with Freeport? Freeport's all right. Hurrali for Freeport!" And there Was stiU. enough bread left to make sandwiches for several squads more.

That's not the point of Luther's teaching (whether or not he ever used this analogy--it looks as if he didn't, though he did compare human nature to a dunghill, as I believe Dave has shown). Of course Luther thought that real transformation took place. But he thought that this was always imperfect and so could not in any sense be the basis for our standing before God.
It's completely irrelevant and unfair to accuse Luther of not believing in sanctification. Practically speaking, what he expected from Christians was not that different from what the Catholic Church expected (I'm not saying that there were no differences). The difference lay in how you deal with falling short. And even there the difference was not as great as you might think. Repent, confess your sins, receive the Eucharist--both sides agreed that this was what should be done and in this order.
If sola fide defines a Christian, then John Wesley and Methodists, the whole Wesleyan tradition, and many traditional Anglicans are not Christians.You may be comfortable with a conception of Christianity which excludes folks like John Wesley, C.S. Lewis, and Dorothy Sayers; I am not. And I dare say that most Protestants and even probably a majority of Calvinists, would agree.
Whether or not Wesley denied sola fide depends on how you define sola fide. I think Wesley himself (at least for much of his career) would be horrified to hear that he didn't believe in sola fide. Certainly in the years after his "heartwarming" at Aldersgate Street he claimed to believe in sola fide. But even then his view was somewhat different from both Lutheran and Reformed versions. And later in life (partly because of fierce controversies with Calvinists) he modified his earlier views and gave considerably more place to good works. My wife is far more of a Wesley expert than I am. But I think that right to the end of his life Wesley would claim that he did believe in sola fide. Whether his "sola fide" is heretical from a Catholic point of view I'm not sure. And Calvinists seem rather divided as to whether it passes muster from their point of view. Generally I think the hardline folks see it as not as bad as "Rome's" view but a dangerous move in that direction.
From my paper: Reflections on Justification:
With regard to the condition of salvation, it may be remembered that I allow, not only faith, but likewise holiness or universal obedience, to be the ordinary condition of final salvation . . . At what time soever faith is given, holiness commences in the soul. For that instant `the love of God' (which is the source of holiness) `is shed abroad in the heart'. (A Farther Appeal, 1745, Works, London: 1831, VIII, 68 ff.)
Suffer me to warn you of another silly, unmeaning word: Do not say, 'I can do nothing'. If so, you know nothing of Christ; then you have no faith: For if you have, if you believe, then you `can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth you'. You can love him and keep his Commandments. (A Blow at the Root, 1762, Works, X, 369)
1. God works in us - therefore man can work. Prevenient grace is accorded to all. 2. God works in you - therefore you must work. You must work together with Him, or He will cease Working. (Working Out Our Own Salvation, 1788, Works, VI, 511 ff.)
Wesley himself claimed to teach nothing but justification by faith. But he was not satisfied, like the pietists before him. with bringing sanctification and justification into the closest possible relation, after the Calvinist formula he was fond of recalling. More penetrating than any of his predecessors, he criticised Luther's opposition of faith to works as a sophistry. As early as the year 1739, when he started on his new course of action, he denounced what he called Luther's 'mania of solifideism'. Luther's commentary on the epistle to the Galatians, with its unbalanced depreciation of the divine Law, was in his view more likely to be pernicious than beneficial in its results. His reason was that the holiness of Christ should by no means be opposed to the holiness accessible to the Christian, but, rather, be represented as its unique source. Far from admitting, therefore, that the epistle of St. James deserved to be called an 'epistle of straw' [Luther's phrase], he called it 'the great antidote Against the poison' of a justification which required no moral change in the Christian . . .'Note that the opinions date from throughout his long ministry, so it doesn't look like much changed in any fundamental sense, though I'm sure Wesley's thought developed.
Wesley . . . taught more and more clearly that since the great effect of conversion was the regeneration by grace of the human will, the human will ought to work for its own salvation, and make daily progress, otherwise, even if the conversion was real in the beginning, it would become ineffective, through want of perseverance.
(Louis Bouyer, The Spirit and Forms of Protestantism, translated by A.V. Littledale, London: Harvill Press, 1956, 221-222)
The first three citations above were retrieved from the book: Wesley and Sanctification, by Harald Lindstrom (Lutheran), Grand Rapids, MI: Francis Asbury Press (division of Zondervan), 1980.
There is much more data in that book, if someone wants to challenge me on this. In any event, I highly doubt that Calvinist-type anti-Catholics will now start writing polemical tracts against Methodists and Wesleyans, even though their interior logic forces them to concede that they aren't Christians (if they understand the information I provided above). That "theological righteous indignation" is reserved only for the Catholic Church.
More on Wesley's denial of "faith alone":
4. Nor, lastly, is he distinguished by laying the whole stress of religion on any single part of it. If you say, "Yes, he is; for he thinks 'we are saved by faith alone:'" I answer, You do not understand the terms. By salvation he means holiness of heart and life. And this he affirms to spring from true faith alone. Can even a nominal Christian deny it? Is this placing a part of religion for the whole? "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid! Yea, we establish the law." We do not place the whole of religion (as too many do, God knoweth) either in doing no harm, or in doing good, or in using the ordinances of God. No, not in all of them together; wherein we know by experience a man may labour many years, and at the end have no religion at all, no more than he had at the beginning. Much less in any one of these; or, it may be, in a scrap of one of them: Like her who fancies herself a virtuous woman, only because she is not a prostitute; or him who dreams he is an honest man, merely because he does not rob or steal. May the Lord God of my fathers preserve me from such a poor, starved religion as this! Were this the mark of a Methodist, I would sooner choose to be a sincere Jew, Turk, or Pagan.
5. "What then is the mark? Who is a Methodist, according to your own account?" I answer: A Methodist is one who has "the love of God shed abroad in his heart by the Holy Ghost given unto him;" one who "loves the Lord his God with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his mind, and with all his strength. God is the joy of his heart, and the desire of his soul; which is constantly crying out, "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee! My God and my all! Thou art the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever!"
(Wesley, The Character of a Methodist, date not given; emphasis added)
Now, one will note that Wesley often states that he accepted "justification by faith alone," but he defines it differently than Luther, Calvin, Lutherans, Reformed, and Baptists do. Far as I can tell, he views it much as a Catholic would: faith and works, justification and sanctification, conversion and holiness are in close organic harmony with each other, rather than formally separated, with works playing no part whatsoever in salvation.
Many of Wesley's statements rule out the latter interpretation. His views of both justification and sanctification differ from the standard Reformed / Baptist / Lutheran understanding of these notions and categories.
Here is a fascinating overview of John Wesley, if anyone's interested: "John Wesley at 300: the man, his times and his faith," by Victor Shepherd. Example:
Of all the misunderstandings that falsify Wesley and his spiritual descendants, none is more defamatory than the assumption that the Methodist tradition doesn't think. While it is readily acknowledged that the Lutheran, Reformed, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox families within the church catholic think and have always thought, Methodism, it is sometimes said, merely emotes.As the passage you quote from The Character of a Methodist shows, Wesley did claim to believe in salvation by "faith alone." That was my only point. What he meant by it was definitely different from what classical Protestantism meant by it, and while I think it is somewhat different from the Catholic position, it's not radically so. (Wesley would reject any language of "merit," but how far that's just a difference of terminology I'm not sure. He would certainly reject such things as indulgences, with the implication that you can in some sense have "extra" merit. And Wesley didn't believe in Purgatory, although the modern Methodist theologian Jerry Walls has argued that Wesley's theology would harmonize well with the doctrine of Purgatory.)
Wesley contradicts this. Having insisted that his lay preachers study five hours per
day, he studied more himself. He authored grammar textbooks in seven of the eight foreign languages he knew.
He deplored as narrow, ignorant and foolish the suggestion that preachers need read only one book. Such fanaticism meant that reading only the Bible guaranteed misreading it. Those who complained of having "no taste for reading" he rebuked on the spot: "Contract a taste for it by use, or return to your trade" — and watched more than a few preachers move back to farm, shop or mine.
His reading was as broad as it was deep. No area of intellectual endeavour escaped him. All his life he kept abreast of contemporary explorations in natural science. Schooled in classical philosophy at Oxford, he probed the contemporary empiricist thinking of John Locke. Aware that history is a theatre both of God's activity and of the church's response, he wrote a world history.
As I understand it, Wesley's position was basically this: Human beings cannot save themselves by their own merits, but must accept their sinfulness and throw themselves on the mercy of God in faith. Once they do this, their past sins are forgiven and they are given the strength to lead a new life. But for final justification, a life of holiness and obedience is required. God will forgive us whenever we fall, if we repent and turn back to Him. (Wesley also distinguished between "sins properly so-called" and "faults," which amounts to a distinction between mortal and venial sin though he didn't use the term.) I believe that Wesley did at times speak of the imputation of Christ's righteousness to us, but in the texts that I'm familiar with he seems to be avoiding the term, and speaks instead of our sins not being imputed.
All of this is very compatible with Catholicism, and seems miles away from classical Protestantism. But then we have the fact that Wesley worked side by side with evangelical Calvinists for much of his career, and while they frequently quarreled, they recognized each other as brothers in Christ, at least most of the time. Relations soured after 1770, when Wesley repeated an earlier announcement (from 1744!) that he had previously "leaned too much toward Calvinism," and affirmed the value of preparation for grace (that people should be told to repent and do good works in preparation for justification).
That's mostly what I had in mind in saying that his position developed. Many of his Calvinist colleagues did accuse him at that point of denying sola fide. But in his earlier years most of them didn't seem to think that he was teaching a radically different doctrine of salvation, although they thought he was wrong on predestination. Since I don't think these guys were idiots, I'm hesitant to say outright that Wesley "didn't believe in sola fide." That was my point.
My own view, as expressed in my blog post on justification a couple of months ago, is that the center of disagreement really lies elsewhere than it has usually been placed. The point I made on my blog was that all evangelical Protestants agree over against Catholicism that saving faith is something qualitatively different from unformed faith. Faith in the soteriological sense necessarily involves a disposition that will lead one to live a holy life. This is an important difference, because it affects how you preach the Gospel. Do you assume that your hearers have faith, and exhort them to works of charity; or do you tell them that if they are not living lives of holiness then they don't have faith at all? The latter is what Wesley would do, and that is why he was able to cooperate (up to a point, at least) with evangelical Protestants who in many respects had a radically different soteriology.
At the same time, Wesley was able to appreciate Catholic piety far more than other Protestants, precisely because what he looked for was evidence of living faith rather than an adherence to a particular understanding of imputation, etc. With regard to soteriology Methodism, far more than Anglicanism, has a potential to be a bridge church between Catholicism and Protestantism. Anglicanism includes several radically different soteriologies. But Wesley has a coherent soteriology which open-minded people among both classical Protestants and Catholics can recognize as essentially sound.
Or they can just condemn it, which many conservative Calvinists do with great relish.
Excellent commentary, Edwin. Thanks! While his fellow Protestant Calvinists go after Wesley "with great relish," I will continue having immense respect for him. If the Calvinists have more in common with his theology than I do, they (the ones who trash him) sure aren't acting like it, are they?
I don't think they do have more in common with Wesley than you do. I think that Wesley had a lot in common with Catholicism as well--indeed, he recognized this to some extent. But he had strong prejudices (largely political) against Catholicism as a system. And it's only fair to say that Catholics of that era weren't terribly ecumenical themselves! Nowadays, I think an evangelically minded Catholic like yourself can recognize a lot more in common with Wesley than a lot of conservative Calvinists can.
The main common front, really, was against the religion of respectability in 18th-century England which identified Christianity with what evangelicals of that era liked to call "mere morality." At least for a while, Wesley and the Calvinists could cooperate on that ground. But things did go sour at the end. And modern Calvinists are particularly anti-Arminian because the Arminians took over most of Protestantism in the 19th century. So those who remain faithful to hardline Calvinism see Arminianism as a particularly pernicious threat, and Wesley is one of the figures who got it all going. (Charles Finney is another of their favorite villains, though I'm not a particularly big fan of Finney myself.)
It seems to me that Wesley in relation to the zeitgeist and established religion in England is a lot like Kierkegaard's relation to Danish Lutheranism. It's a reform and (in the very best sense) "radical" spirit, which is why I admire these two men so much. Heaven knows we Catholics need men like that too. I think that John Paul II was one of them, as is the current pope.

Sometimes a customer will not wait that long.
Retail stores are not the same as, for instance, CompUSA. Best Buy and RadioShack are rip offs because they're hugely cost inefficient. So if my choices are being ripped off for some convenience, then yes, I will gladly wait 1-3 days. What will end up happening is online distributors will open up outlet stores to compliment their online presence.

At my weigh-in this morning, I posted a 3 lb. loss! Prior to starting the Kickstart, I had been on a plateau and was totally discouraged. Even better than the loss is the control over food that I now feel.
Now, the funny thing at my WW meeting, my wonderful leader asked how I had broken through the plateau. So, I told the whole group that I had been following a vegan WOE that started on Monday. The group gave a collective "ooooohhhhh" that sounded like they were all saying that it would be too hard to follow.
I had to giggle because I used to think going vegan would be the hardest thing to do, but am finding that I'm having fun with it. I told the group that it required forethought and preparation, but that I am feeling great.
I am posting this to encourage anyone who may be struggling today.
Were you still following the weight watcher points?
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
@CloudsChange: Yes, I was counting points while being vegan.
@Susan: Thanks!
Congratulations and thanks for the update! While the weight has be coming off slowly, but coming off, I feel I'm still not in tune with "stop when you've had enough". Seems like I could always have a little more...
I realize that this will take some time to honor the body cues. Maybe a count might help for a start.
Congratulations again!
Thank you for the good news. I am back here and want to get healthy. So glad this is working for you. I know I can do it too.
AletaCreate something everyday.
Well done! I walk with dogs too & they are helping me on this path. My old WW leader always said "If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail." I find it very true for this healthy eating. There are not many "fast foods" to resort to, so planning has been my key to success. My timer went off, the spuds & veggies are ready, dinner is served!
A bit of an update: Although the scale only budged a tiny bit this week, today, I put on a pair of jeans that were so tight three weeks ago that I couldn't zip or button them. Something good is happening!

Free to Work, Free to Marry
Thousands filled the Minnesota State Capitol as they waited for word that the Senate had passed the gay marriage bill yesterday.
Last month, Rhode Island came over into the marriage equality column. Last week, it was Delaware. Yesterday, it was Minnesota. There's progress expected in New Jersey, Illinois, and at the Supreme Court. Pick your favorite cliché or metaphor about winning—being on a hot streak, passing the tipping point, bending the arc of history—and feel free to apply.
And yet few Americans are aware that in 29 states, you can still be fired for putting a same-sex partner's picture on your desk, or rejected for a job because the hiring manager doesn't like homos. That's right—it's perfectly legal in most of the country to fire, refuse to hire, demote, or otherwise discriminate against someone for being gay.
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would make it illegal to fire people on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, has been introduced in every session of Congress since 1994. Even before that, New York state representatives Bella Abzug and Ed Koch (who would go on to become the mayor of New York City) introduced a version of ENDA in 1974, then called the Equality Act. In 1996, under Bill Clinton, ENDA failed by just a single vote—the very same day that the House passed the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage for federal purposes as being between one man and one woman, and which is currently up for evaluation at the Supreme Court. The congressional debate about "defending" marriage was hateful, replete with references to discredited "scientific" studies about how many hundreds of sex partners an average gay man had and statements about AIDS being God's punishment for immorality or about gay marriage leading to legal marriage to your German shepherd (some of us, at the time, wondered what was up with these legislators and their German shepherds). ENDA was tossed in as a way to prove that all that hate wasn't really hate, just reverence for the institution of marriage.
This hoary old bill was once again put on Congress's floor at the end of April, buried during a busy news week. Not that anyone would have paid attention even if it had been slow. Perpetual loser bill reintroduced once again—there's a memorable headline. The difference is that the LGBT advocacy community is nearly united in agreeing that passing ENDA is this year's overriding goal.
Had ENDA passed in 1996—well, that's a counterfactual that boggles the mind. There's a reason that we've won civil unions or marriage only in states that have first passed statewide nondiscrimination laws. We only win relationship recognition when people know gay people. But too many people are afraid to come out on the job if they might lose that job for being gay. That's a double whammy: Not only do you have to lie, implicitly, at work, leaving your daily life fraught with anxiety and your income a bit at risk; you also lose your ability to wear down others' anti-gay prejudice. People change their minds about whether we deserve recognition for our relationships only when they realize that they like us and our partners. Once they realize that the gays they ostensibly hate include Mary Beth in accounting and Jamal in HR, that hatred starts to soften. And once Mary Beth and Jamal know they can keep feeding their families once they're out, they are more likely to feel comfortable introducing you to their partners at the grocery store or at church, and explaining how much a statewide DOMA would hurt their kids. Had nationwide job protections been in place since 1996, it's possible to imagine we'd be even farther along with marriage in still more states, as more people realized they cared about their gay colleagues.
If ENDA is so important, why has marriage gotten so far while protection on the job has stalled? Many advocates find this quite paradoxical. Except for a few sensitive jobs—teaching, for instance, or military service—the freedom to work while gay has been relatively uncontroversial since the 1980s. Even anti-gay Americans have long believed that if you do a good job, what you do in your personal life shouldn't matter. As of the last poll, three-fourths of the country says that LGBT folks should be protected from discrimination on the job.
Here's the truth: Marriage hasn't gotten as far as it seems. All our wins have been statewide—just like our wins on anti-discrimination laws. The national organizing efforts on marriage and the military have been efforts to undo something bad. "Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) banned us from open service in the military, the nation's biggest employer. DOMA bans the federal government from recognizing marriages we've made in the states. If SCOTUS knocks down DOMA Section 3, that won't be the same as federal support for same-sex marriage; it just returns the federal government to neutral, which is precisely where the feds are right now on employment: indifferent.
ENDA, on the other hand, would be a bigger deal than eliminating DADT or DOMA §3. Passing ENDA would be—at last—a positive win at the federal level at last: active protection from our federal government, for the first time on record.
And passing ENDA will mean most to the least powerful among us. Urban, professional-class employees—lawyers, journalists, software engineers, the folks who have been especially vocal and most active donors on LGBT rights—usually feel free, these days, to be out as lesbian or gay on the job. That's less true for a rural worker in a blue- or pink-collar job whose ability to put a picture of a same-sex partner on her desk or in his locker without being harassed, demoted, or fired is going to depend on the whims of coworkers and managers. If you're either just urban or just professional—not both—you too may be at the mercy of your coworkers and managers. ENDA will mean a lot to the community college professor in rural Arkansas, or big-box retail clerk in, say, Columbus, Ohio who will finally feel free to stop playing pronoun shuffleboard ("Yes, I did go out with someone recently, but they weren't very interesting … ").
But of course there's still another reason that marriage activism feels as if it has so much oomph behind it while nondiscrimination law seems so dutiful and dry: The symbolism behind marriage speaks to the defining feature of gay identity (same-sex love) in a way that workplace discrimination does not. By contrast, for blacks and for women getting a law guaranteeing the right to work was central to achieving dignity. Until the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they were flatly denied equality on the job; their discrimination centered around the idea of them as people who couldn't think or do well enough to stand side by side with white men.
The key difference is that while it's difficult to hide either your sex or your race, it's comparatively easy for most lesbians, bisexuals, and gay men to hide our sexual orientation. Gay men have been able to get jobs and lesbians have moved ahead on the job in stride with women at large—albeit at the cost of revealing that that they had full emotional lives. In other words, on the job LGB folks have been there all along; we just haven't always been able to be open about it. For us, the far more central denial of our dignity has been our exclusion from the social symbolism and law that have shaped our siblings' romantic and family aspirations. Being denied recognition for our passions and our families has been at the heart—a metaphor I use intentionally—of our civil and social exclusion, and therefore our movement. Employment rights have been emotionally secondary to the LGB movement (although far more important in the T column, where people lose their jobs regularly for transitioning) in the way that the right to marry across races was secondary to the African American civil-rights movement. Being denied that freedom to marry across races lines was an insult, but not the central plank of oppression. But being treated as if none of my loves deserved recognition was absolutely at the core of my exclusion, at least as a lesbian, from full participation in my community.
The inability to care for the ones you love in extremis—when they need you most, in hospital rooms and funeral arrangements and childrearing—is a terrifying and helpless feeling. But that can't be fixed, of course, if folks can't feel safe coming out at work. That's where ENDA will help: It will be a critical step toward allowing folks to advocate, locally, for themselves and their families.
Where ENDA will have the chance to make the biggest change is on gender presentation and identity. I believe the LGBT coalition is winning on sexual orientation. The resistance to our freedom to marry is crumbling as more and more people say: Who cares who you love, as long as she wipes her feet before she comes in the house? But as I write here regularly, this country remains more than a little nutty about gender. Boys are supposed to be boys, not girls, and vice versa. Here I'm talking in part about transgender identities—whether it's acceptable for someone born female to live as male or vice versa, and if so, where to go to the bathroom. But I also mean that it's still not okay for a boy to deviate from the strictest version of masculinity. A harsh patrol descends if a boy or man dares to express an interest in something fluffy or sparkly, walks with insufficient swagger, fails to cheer raucously enough for a sports team, or otherwise expresses strays from the preapproved masculinity box. Like a ball that wavers out of the strike zone, the rules vary from one observer to another, but many people are happy to call out any offense against a man's manhood when they see it. Passing ENDA might help insist that, culturally, we can show up to work as who we are—even if who we are doesn't fit someone else's vision of manhood or womanhood.
Tico Almeida, the president of Freedom to Work, told me recently that he disagrees with that little theory of mine. He believes, rather, that ENDA is needed especially to protect workers on sexual-orientation grounds. There's a growing body of case law, he said, that says that gender deviation is protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which says that our freedom of employment will not be abridged based on sex. Courts, he says, have been expanding on the Hopkins v. Price Waterhouse precedent—which slapped the accounting firm for refusing to make Ann Hopkins partner because she wasn't feminine enough—to say that any deviant gender expression is protected on the job. If a manager repeatedly catcalls someone as a "sissy" or "girlyboy," he'll have a sex-harassment case. (Not sexual harassment, sex harassment, a slightly different creature.) Not so if you fire him flat-out for being a faggot.
Whether I'm right or Almeida is, we end up in the same place: It's time to pass ENDA already.
Almeida believes this might be the year ENDA makes real progress. In May or June, he expects the bill to pass easily out of the Senate Health Education Labor & Pensions Committee, chaired by Iowa's Tom Harkins. If Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid allows the bill to come to the floor—a big if, in Almeida's mind; he carefully says Reid has been "timid" on moving ENDA forward—then Almeida expects the bill to cross the 60 barrier and pass over to the House, where it already has 169 cosponsors, including a number of Republicans. There, he hopes to get one of the House ENDA cosponsors to file a "discharge petition" to insist that it be brought up for a vote; if 218 sign on, the bill skips committee entirely and goes to the floor. That, Almeida explains, gives LGBT forces the opportunity to launch an organizing drive to get House members to sign the petition. Right now, as we pass over this particular tipping point—or bent moral arc, or whatever it might be—LGBT issues have become a wedge to use against Republicans, instead of—as has historically been the case—against Dems. Almeida believes that once SCOTUS knocks down DOMA, all those Republicans who are going to continue to fulminate against marriage equality will then be able to use support for ENDA as their fig leaves: See, I'm not anti-gay, I just don't believe we should "redefine marriage"—the strategy behind introducing ENDA on the same day as DOMA in the first place.
If they do—if the bill passes—it will make thousands of people's jobs a little bit safer. It will make it easier for them to advocate on behalf of their families. So I hope that he's right. After 20 years, it's about time.

Regardless of if the bill has the votes to break a filibuster and pass in the Senate, it should be brought to the floor. Obama has demurred on an executive action barring any government contractor from discriminating based on sexual orientation or gender identity/expression for almost 4.5 years now. It was a campaign pledge he made to our community that he has yet to follow through on. His rationale that it should come from the legislature will be blown to pieces when it fails either by filibuster in the Senate or inaction in the house. This will demonstrate that there is no chance of this passing both chambers and an executive order is the ONLY option in this dysfunctional congress that can spend hours on "scandals" but no time on unemployment, wage stagnation, or basic fairness.

There is on thing that disturbs me about the argument the gay community and its supporters puts forth about marriage equality, and it stems from the very definition of a license. A license is a legal distinction, the antithesis of an equivalent. It is deliberately designed to create two unequal groups: those who have it, gay or straight, above those who do not. There would be no point in granting a license if the intent was not to make such a distinction. Furthermore, we grant benefits to those with a license that we deny those without it. Whereas I have never supported the argument that granting a marriage to license would somehow destroy the sanctity of marriage or that a person's sexual orientation should ever be a factor in any legal benefits he receives, why should we be comfortable with the fact that marital status is a criteria for social acceptance or receipt of any tangible benefits? In some cases, the argument for a license makes sense. For instance, we issue a driver's license in an attempt to ensure that a person who operates a motor vehicle has the mental and physical ability to do so. Likewise, in the professions, we issue a professional license as a symbol of a person's skill. It is in the interest of the general public to know, for instance, that a medical professional has undergone extensive, supervised training that can only be acquired in an academic setting. In both these instances, the license makes a judgment of something relevant a person has acquired. What is it that two people should ever have to validate in order to have a life together? A license doesn't make people equal as much as it places those who have it into a preferred group. Wouldn't the better argument be that a license should be irrelevant to any legal benefits a person receives? We argue that sexual orientation should be irrelevant, can't we make the same argument about marriage?

So I wanted to try out WoW, as everyone keeps banging on about it. Just yesterday I went to set up a free account to try it out but it says my email is in use, and asked me to sign in. Problem is, I've never signed up for / played a Blizzard game before (WoW, Diablo etc.) So someone has used my email address?
Well I tried the usual crap you have to go through to recover your password, and before I could enter an answer to the secret question (which I have no clue what it is because as I said, I've never had an account before) it informs me that my account has been locked down and my current password can no longer be used. It also says I need to contact support to get it unlocked, which it then gives me a URL for support page.
So off I go to support, enter my problem; can't access account. Then gives me the options to contact support, email or live chat.
When I click either one it asks me to sign into my Blizzard account. /facepalm
What imbecile comes up with this crap? But my question is, how can I get my account back? Is there some kind of email address I can email? email@example.com?

Ridcully leaned forward. It was full of ants. They scuttled along the tubing and through complex little spirals in their thousands. In the silence of the room, their bodies made a faint, continuous rustling. There was a slot level with the Archchancellor's eyes. The word 'In' was written on a piece of paper that had been pasted onto the glass. And on the bench was an oblong of card which looked just the right shape to go in the slot. It had round holes punched in it. There were two round holes, then a whole pattern of round holes, and then a further two holes. On it, in pencil, someone had scribbled '2 x 2'. Ridcully was the kind of man who'd push any lever, just to see what it did. He put the card in the obvious slot . . .
There was an immediate change in the rustling. Ants trailed in their busy way through the tubing. Some of them appeared to be carrying seeds . . .
There was a small dull sound and a card dropped out of the other end of the glass maze. It had four holes in it. Ridcully was still staring at it when Ponder came up behind him, rubbing his eyes, "'S our ant counter," he said. "Two plus two equals four," said Ridcully. "Well, well, I never knew that."
"It can do other sums as well."
"You tellin' me ants can count?"
"Oh, no. Not individual ants . . . it's a bit hard to explain . . . the holes in the cards, you see, block up some tubes and let them through others and . . ." Ponder sighed, "we think it might be able to do other things."
"Like what?" Ridcully demanded.
"Er, that's what we're trying to find out . . ."
"You're trying to find out? Who built it?"
"And now you're trying to find out what it does?"

For teen, arts center provided an outlet for expression that pulled her out of the shelters
When a homeless 12-year-old Inocente Izucar first walked into the studios of Arts: A Reason to Survive, she wore a rainbow tutu and had painted her face.
"I saw her and I'm like, 'This is who I created this organization for,'" said Matt D'Arrigo, who founded the social service-oriented arts center.
The 18-year-old Izucar has given up her tutus and face painting. Now, Izucar relies on her art's hearts and bunnies and bright splashes of color to make an impression.
With a solo exhibition opening at New York's Tribeca Grand Hotel today, multiple New York screenings of "Inocente," a new documentary on her by Oscar-nominated directors Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine, and an MTV telecast of "Inocente" set for Aug. 17, Izucar no longer needs to paint her face.
Her art has not only given her purpose and attention, it's provided an income that's allowed her to escape the shelters and rent an apartment in Golden Hill.
"She's living the dream," said D'Arrigo, who has accompanied her to New York for the exhibit's opening. "We couldn't be happier for her."
Izucar, however, is wide-awake, filled with memories of a difficult, even dangerous childhood. In an interview late last week at Arts' new home next to the National City Community Center, she said she couldn't exactly recall when she was a toddler and her father grabbed her and her brother and took them across the border to San Diego. It took her frantic mother a year to eventually find her broken family.
But Izucar vividly remembers the night not long after she was reunited with her mother when everything fell apart.
"My father told me to tell my mom something and I'm very forgetful, and I forgot," she said. "It just sparked a horrible argument (where she and her mother, who tried to intercede, were beaten by her father). The cops were called, and he was deported. That's when we started going to shelters, because we didn't have a place to live."
Their addresses form a who's who of San Diego's social-service organizations: Saint Vincent de Paul, the Rescue Mission, the YWCA Cortez Hill Family Center and South Bay Community Services.
"I can't remember them all," she said. "We just kept moving and moving. It became normal after a while."
So did hopelessness. Her exhausted, seemingly defeated mother, tells in the documentary "Inocente" of how she considered jumping off the San Diego-Coronado Bridge and taking her daughter and her three young sons with her. She only relented after Inocente pleaded with her to reconsider.
But it was Arts: A Reason to Survive that saved Inocente Izucar's life.
"Rob (Tobin, Arts' creative director) and Matt (D'Arrigo), they saw potential in me, although I didn't really see it myself," said Izucar, who came to Arts while a student at the Monarch School for homeless youth. "I would come to the center and do projects. I felt like I was kind of the same as all the other kids. But they gave me a push and said, 'No, you're different.'"

For generations, the horsepower disease has been passed down from father to son time and time again. Building a street machine or a race car takes more than one set of hands, and nine times out of 10, the person helping you spin the wrenches on the Chevy in your garage is related to you in some way.
For Gary Chmielewski, the story is the same but the twist at the end is different. The odyssey surrounding his 1971 Chevelle starts not with his father, but his offspring.
"The whole Chevelle story started with my oldest son, Curtis', interest in the plastic model of the Red Alert Chevelle," Gary explained. "Years later when he was in his first job, a fellow worker told him about a 1971 SS Chevelle that he knew was for sale."
Curtis and brother Troy couldn't afford to save the Chevelle, but thankfully, Curtis' brother-in-law had the green to purchase it. Fast forward 12 years and the same Chevelle was up for sale again. After seeing both of his sons buy a few Chevelles and enjoy them, Gary knew his time had come to get one of his own.
After purchasing the car, Gary enjoyed it for a while before getting the itch to fix the unsightly rust that was on it. When the body man looked at the car a little deeper, however, the quick fix turned into a more expansive project. Knowing the car would be laid up for a bit of time, Gary concluded he would not only work on the body, but massage the car from bumper to bumper and roof line to frame rail.
"From the beginning I had a vision of driving the car a lot, but I also wanted to have fun," Gary said. "I wanted to be able to jump in the car and drive cross-country without any worries, get 15 miles per gallon, and run 12-seconds flat in the quarter-mile with sticky tires but without wheel tubs."
Since the car was already in the body shop, Gary decided the first logical step was the get the bodywork done. First on the to-do list was replacing the necessary body parts, which was taken care of by Dale Lavse at D&B Corvettes. When the sheetmetal was welded up and bolted into place, it came time to choose the proper hue to grace the flanks of the A-body. Enter dilemma numero uno.
"I wanted to paint it black with silver stripes," Gary said. "The restorer (Dave) wanted to paint it red. My family wanted it painted Ontario Orange."
Since it was the family aspect that gave Gary his interest in the Chevelle, he decided to trust the family's choice-orange it was. At first, Gary wasn't too sure but once he saw the car rubbed out and dressed with the appropriate GM trim in place, the feelings changed. "After 10 years, I am still satisfied with the color and happy I listened to the family," Gary said.
With the body finished, the Chevelle rode home to the Chmielewski household on a set of American Racing wheels. The chrome Torq-Thrust Ds surrounded by BF Goodrich 295/50/R15 shoes up front measure 15x7 inches, while those under the rear quarters measure 15x8 inches and are wrapped in slightly bigger BF Goodrich 245/60.

The North Haven resident and local builder has teamed up with Doug Herman to organize the inaugural Lance Corporal Jordan C. Haerter Memorial Fishing Tournament to benefit Building Homes for Heroes and the Wounded Warrior Project this Saturday in Sag Harbor
When did you decide to organize a fishing tournament in Lance Corporal Jordan Haerter's memory?
Without being pinned down to a date, it was probably back in June. A bunch of us guys were sitting around having beers when Doug Herman, and he really deserves the credit, said why don't we have a fishing tournament in Jordan's memory. It was something we thought the whole family could get involved in, especially since we have not had a fishing tournament in Sag Harbor in so long. It seemed like a lighter way, than a 21-gun salute, to honor Jordan; not that we don't want to remember the fact that he is a fallen Marine, but we did think we could celebrate his memory in a lighter way, traditional to Sag Harbor.
What has been your relationship with Jordan and his family? Are they excited for the event?
I have been friends with Chris, Jordan's father, I am going to say about 12 years, give or take a year. Chris is a true Sag Harbor local, meaning I am pretty sure he was born here. I have lived here for 14 years and Chris and Jordan were obviously involved in our lives, at parties, out on the boat, and with my son for a good part of that time. I know both JoAnn [Lyles, Jordan's mother] and Chris are over the top about the event. We had a booth at HarborFest to promote the tournament and Chris had a tent next to us for the charitable organization he has founded in Jordan's memory, Jordan's Initiative, which provides for deployed troops and their families. They have been really great about getting the word out about the event.
The tournament and after party will benefit Building Homes for Heroes and the Wounded Warrior Project. Were you familiar with these organizations prior to putting this tournament together?
Well, I don't think anyone could not be familiar with the Wounded Warrior Project. You would have to live in a cave out here to not have heard of them. It was Doug Herman who suggested Building Homes for Heroes because his cousin has been very active with that organization.
What kind of anglers would you like to see show up on Saturday? Do you expect this to be a family friendly event?
We want so much for this to be a family event, which is why in addition to the striped bass and fishing tournament we will have an event under the tent on Long Wharf starting at 11 a.m. We are hoping that with everyone who is fishing, their wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, friends and children will come to the event, participate in the auctions and raffles and have a bite to eat. Peter Ambrose with The Sea Food Shop is paying for the tent which means the money we would have used for that will benefit Wounded Warrior and Building Homes for Heroes. This is all building for the future. If we only get 50 people, we are hoping for 200 next year. Hopefully we will have 200 this year.
The fishing itself will be a mixed bag – fathers and sons, brothers and brothers, friends, kids on boats. We are hosting a snapper derby for kids under ten at Long Wharf with free ice cream and one kid will get a trophy. We will also have a filet station, so if you want your fish filleted you can do that and anything people don't want to keep we will donate to the Sag Harbor Food Pantry.
Sag Harbor has been without its own fishing tournament in recent years. Do you envision this tournament becoming an annual event?
Yes. That is the whole thing. We want it to grow. In the short amount of time we have been organizing this we have had so much support. Wouldn't it be nice if three years from now we had 50, 60 boats out there and hundreds of people coming to Sag Harbor the weekend after HarborFest because the tournament has become as memorable as HarborFest? It is a win-win situation if we can keep this going.
The Lance Corporal Jordan C. Haerter Memorial Fishing Tournament to benefit Building Homes for Heroes and the Wounded Warrior Project will be held this Saturday, September 19. Fishing is from Shinnecock Inlet to Montauk Point with no fishing allowed prior to 4 a.m. The weigh in party begins at 11 a.m. on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor. Cash prizes will be awarded in the adult and juniors division for the heaviest striped bass and bluefish, and food, auctions and raffles will also be held under the tent on Long Wharf. For more information or to register, contact Rich Flood at 774-7682.

I fail to see where the OP has failed to try the things suggested.
He said he had turned off celle
Sorry to say your wrong the OP has tried things suggested but the options are very limited and most people are continuing with the same stuff "Delete facebook, Change the phone and pay more for data!" all of which the OP is not willing to do and personally i dont see why someone should be forced to remove an app, pay more or switch phones because of a data cap which is too small. He asked for help and advise but so far all he's had is constant nagging that he should do all the three above, this forum is ment to be a tech site yet none of the responses have been very technical or good imo. Also why should the OP be forced to sell something his wife likes or to remove an app that millions of people use or pay more for data?
Think of it this way you have the internet your service provider has a cap what are your options if your going over that cap?
1. Install an adblocker - Not possible without rooting the phone the OP's wife does not want to do this though i admit it does the phone no harm.
2. Dont use the internet as much - OP is already using the wifi points as much as they can, could they use them more? Possibly.
3. Get a smaller computer - Im saying this because peopel keep saying change the phone i dont really see how the screen size eats more data, though i suppose it could be image loading im not sure.
4. Pay extra for the data - Seriously would you stay with an internet provider thats going to charge you more? No, i personally change providers and thats why im with Virgin internet because they leave me and my excessive downloading alone.
Anyway i could go on and on and on like the energizer rabbit but, im out of this thread now. Its upto the OP to decide what him and his wife want to do but there options are still limited with the options given.
1. Change the phone - Wife done's not want this
2. Pay more for data - Why should they?
3. Remove an app they use (forced)
4. Change networks
5. ? i dunno i can not be bothered to read though again and im watching tv.
He's already refused to root the phone to install ad blocking capabilities, so that's out. Facebook is using that data no matter what. YOU CANNOT GET AWAY FROM IT. Unwilling to root the phone he has 3 (count them, 1 2 3) options;
1) Don't use facebook
2) Get rid of the phone
3) Get more data (or pay the overages)
He's refused to do any of them... Something's got to give.
