Older lesbian, gay and bisexual people (over 55 years) have lived through many social and legislative changes. Positive changes now include an equalising of the age of consent from 21 to 16, the repeal of Section 28, the armed forces permitting gay men and lesbians to serve, equal rights granted to same sex couples applying for adoption, the introduction of civil partnerships and the outlawing of discrimination on the provision of goods and services on the basis of sexual orientation.
The struggle to reach this level of fair treatment will have impacted on older LGB people's lives. They may have been involved in campaigning or suffered from discrimination and sexual offences laws over the years and still be fearful of disclosing their sexual orientation.
Getting older is not easy for anyone and elderly lesbian, gay and bisexual people are often apprehensive and fearful of the consequences of disclosing their sexual orientation in a care setting.
In 2011, Stonewall published Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People in Later Life. In the first study of its kind in Britain, Stonewall commissioned YouGov to survey a sample of 1,050 heterosexual and 1,036 lesbian, gay and bisexual people over the age of 55 across Britain. The survey asked about their experiences and expectations of getting older and examined their personal support structures, family connections and living arrangements. It also asked about how they feel about getting older, the help they expect to need, and what they would like to be available from health and social care services.
1. Three in five are not confident that social care and support services, like paid carers, or housing services would be able to understand and meet their needs.
2. More than two in five are not confident that mental health services would be able to understand and meet their needs.
3. One in six are not confident that their GP and other health services would be able to understand and meet their needs.
4. More likely to be single: Gay and bisexual men are almost three times more likely to be single than heterosexual men, 40 per cent compared to 15 per cent.
5. More likely to live alone: 41 per cent of lesbian, gay and bisexual people live alone compared to 28 per cent of heterosexual people.
6. Less likely to have children: Just over a quarter of gay and bisexual men and half of lesbian and bisexual women have children compared to almost nine in ten heterosexual men and women.
7. Less likely to see biological family members on a regular basis: Less than a quarter of lesbian, gay and bisexual people see their biological family members at least once a week compared to more than half of heterosexual people.
This report provides a compelling evidence base for the first time about older lesbian, gay and bisexual people in this country. It also provides practical recommendations for a range of agencies about how to improve things.
Read the full report Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People in Later Life
This Guide has been developed in response to the LGB People in Later Life research findings and offers practical advice to organisations providing care and support services about how to meet the needs of lesbian, gay and bisexual people. Sometimes changes to policy, staff training and awareness about the law can make things better. But often it is about simple things such as awareness and communication – individual actions will have a big impact.
We hope this advice and guidance will help care providers to improve the services they offer to lesbian, gay and bisexual people and to deliver those services with the dignity and respect that all older people deserve.
This guide is split into the following sections:

A Guide for Care and Support Services
We're hugely grateful to the organisations featured in this guide who have shared their valuable practical insights on making care and support services relevant to lesbian, gay and bisexual people.

CONCORD, N.C. – WKA has made an adjustment to the head gasket rules for Clone engines, effective immediately.
The WKA Board of Trustees voted last night, November 20, to change the Clone head gasket rules. Minimum head gasket thickness is still 0.008"; however, there is now NO maximum thickness on head gasket.
The 26.5cc minimum volume in the combustion chamber rule will remain intact.
The use of sealants on head gaskets on Clone engines is now LEGAL.
This change is to make the head gasket rule more in line with the current head gaskets being used as well as being user-friendlier.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
By Logan Cooke, HU sports correspondent
Did you know that there are 17 winter sports teams at Harwood? Well, if you didn't then you really are going to learn something. I have always felt that middle school and junior varsity sports are overlooked. Unfortunately, there are not enough people to cover these sports, but I feel that it was about time that every team got some time in the spotlight. So I present to you the Harwood Winter Sports Full Tour, a look into every team at Harwood this winter including MS and JV. I have broken each sport down into individual teams. And remember, please remember, to keep your hands and feet in the car at all times.
Boys' Harwood hockey has an extremely talented squad as always. They boast speed as well as power, and they are a strong competitor in D. II. They are coached by veteran coach Dave Morse, a coach that has led Harwood to multiple championships and has completely revolutionized Harwood hockey. He has a vast knowledge of hockey, and a captain of the hockey team agrees. "Dave Morse is an amazing coach. He knows the game better than anyone I know. For the past three years I've had Dave as a coach, and in that time span, I have learned more about the game of hockey than I thought I would ever learn from anyone else."
Now let's give credit to the full squad (grade in parenthesis): Sam Costello (11), Alex Thomas (9), Kevin Laflamme (10), Matt Baitz (9), Adam Thompson (10), Kenny Bourneuf (11), Luke Sisler (11), Joe DuCharme (9), Damien Gile (10), Cameron Rivers (10), Jacob Grout (12), Noah Goss-Woliner (9), Anshe Lotspeich (9), Rory VanTuinen (10), Trey Kiendl (11), Nate Vasseur (11) Cameron Wollensak (11), Chris Martin (12), Taylor Morse (9), Jeff Evans-Mongeon (9), Austin Coles (10), Manager Mark Rexford, Coach Dave Morse, and Assistant Coaches Howard Deal and Shaun Morse.
Girls Girl's hockey is one of the newer sports at Harwood and is probably one of the least known winter sports at Harwood. Nonetheless, the ladies take their hockey seriously. Coached by Mike Martini, the girls have some serious game, and watching their games shows it. The team is led by offensive stars Hannah Martini and Ashley Sweet and by defensive standout Suzanne Woodard. Although their record (2-5 at the time of this article) may be a bit deceiving, this team is a strong group of hockey players with some serious potential. "The potential of this team is more then we could have ever wanted; our record isn't anything to us this early in the season," says junior Kelsey LaCroix. "We will pick it up and show some real talent."
Their roster: Suzanne Woodard (11), Caroline Gilbert (10), Rachel Bower (10), Ally Bataille (11), Morgan Lamson (9), Randi Lowe (11), Kathryn Barnes (11), Kelsey LaCroix (11), Hanna Martini (11), Megan Taylor (12), Megan Townsend (12), Brittany Ferris (11), Carly Taylor (9), Molly Brown (12), Sarah Moore (10), Celia Cadwell (11), Ashley Sweet (11) and Samantha Rexford (12).
7th Grade Boys (Middle School) Middle school sports are not exactly like their high school equivalents, and this was ever so obvious when I sat in on the seventh-grade boys basketball practice. Coach Larry Litchfield was stressing fundamentals, something that can be overshadowed in high school sports. The squad worked on basic plays -- plays that were run with surprising smoothness. The reason I decided to sit in on a practice instead of a game is simple: Middle School sports are about learning the game and this happens in practice, not games. Coach Litchfield did a very good job at helping his players learn the game, and it helps that the team has a lot of natural talent. I have a hunch that when these boys hit the varsity level they will be very polished and will excel.
Who? Peter Tempesta, Sean Cook, Alexander Beard, Timothy Darr, Jacob Quirion, Gerrit Lane, Cody Westover, Nicholas Mayo, Joah DeCasas, Riley Gonnet and Tristan Devine.
Middle School Girls As odd as it may seem, there is only one team (technically) for middle school girls' basketball. This is due to lopsided numbers in one grade over the other. But, anyway, this group of girls is another group that is stressing the fundamentals. They work on a wide range of skills from ball handling to shooting to more complex aspects of the game. The group's coach, Tabitha Pratt, is a veteran of the game and is passing on some very good skills to these girls, and they too will succeed at the varsity level.
Their Roster: Jocelyn Noyes, Kellie Mead, Megan Meany, Kylie Williams, Mariah Breer, Simone Washington, Hannah Ferenc, Logan Volpe, Caitlyn Bandy, Kassandra Bickford, Sabrina Burbank, Tracy Guion, Tiffany LaDieu, Kaitlyn Wimble, Alyson Van Schiack and Sarah Noyes
8th Grade Boys The last of our middle school basketball teams is the eighth-grade boys' team. They are coached by a Russell Beilke, a very skilled coach and a man that has been around the game of hoops for a long time. The team is working on fundamentals, but they are also working on a little bit more complicated stuff in order to prepare them for their future lives in HS sports. The team shows some great skills and is probably the most energetic group of kids in this whole tour, which is saying something.
They are Ben Nussbaum, Jarrid Quirrion, Austin Conti, Max Bielke, Rob Danaher, Amos Gaylord, Cassidy Cote, Jono Gross, Garrett Blake and Taylor Douglass.
JVB Boys Our next stop on the winter sports tour is the JVB boys' squad. They are coached by Garret Folsom, a newcomer to the high school basketball scene. Folsom brings a different coaching style that is refreshing from your standard coach. His squad of 15 brings some strong defensive skills to the court and boasts a speedy team of kids that are able to use their agility to wear down their opponents. I plan to see many of these kids on the varsity squad next year.
Here they are: Nathan Culver (9), Dylan Thompson (9), Connor Brown (9), Nick Montgomery (10), Caleb Nelson (9), Tyler Martin (9), Charles LaDieu (9), Tyler Miles (9), Sebastian Marshall (9), Zak Bossier (9), Patrick Meany (9), Owen Spence (10), Chris Nealy (9), Chris Mehuron (9) and Josh Noyes (9).
JV Boys As we move on through the tour, we stop at the JV boys' team. The JV team is what I like to refer as the shadow of the varsity. They travel with the varsity, they play the same schools and most of the players will be on varsity next year. They are coached by longtime veteran coach Tom Young, who is very good at putting the "finishing touches" on players to prepare them for varsity, as well as teaching unique skills no one else offers. The team this year boasts some great all-around talent including rebounders like Tyler Hoare and sharpshooting guards like Michael Riccardi and Lucas Bates.
The roster: Mike Riccardi (10), Ameen Batah (9), Lucas Bates (10), Joe Meade (9), Sheldon Baker (9), Ian Mason (10), Will Hofmann (10), Zak Williams (9), Nick Siner (9), Tyler Hoare (9) and Tom Fuller (9).
JV Girls While watching these girls play, their shooting ability really surprised me. They are one of the better shooting teams in their division and are able to move the ball around and find open space. They utilize the talents of offensive standouts Jamie Tempesta and Sophia Lisaius. They are coached by Tammy Thompson, one of the better lady ball coaches around. She is able to be friends with her players while still showing them some valuable skills they will use when moving on to the varsity level.
They are: Sydnie Rutledge (9), Jamie Tempesta (9), Chelsea Delphia (9), Megan Raymond (9), Meagen Audet (9), Ashlyn Raymond (9), Christine Milne (9), Luiza Usmanova (9), Elmira Ilysova (9), Hannah Lovely (9) and Sophia Lisaius (9).
Varsity Boys Welcome to varsity, specifically varsity boys. This is a team of very talented players who work together very well and boast a strong offensive attack led by seniors Greg Mehuron and Liam Smith. They also have some solid rebounders in Eric Mackey and Thomas Jacobs-Moore. They are coached by longtimer Ray Drake and assisted by Mike Woods. Drake is able to write plays that will exploit the weaknesses of his opponents while utilizing the core strengths of his team. He is able to bring his players to a new level of play and is a very interactive coach. He is a very vocal coach, able to communicate new plays on the fly in order to adapt to different game situations.
Who? Greg Mehuron (12), Josh Fisher (12), Steve Griffith (12), Joe Yalicki (11), Steve LaRock (11), Toby Morehouse (10), Dylan Peterson (11), Neil Richardson (12), Thomas Jacobs-Moore (10), Michael Pavlovich (11), Stephen Wilson (12), Eric Mackey (11), Liam Smith (12), Paul Weston (12) and Connor Duke (12).
Varsity Girls As we continue the tour, we are happy to stop at the varsity girls. The girls boast a very talented lineup this year under first-time varsity basketball coach Taggert Haslam. They have offensive weapons like Elena Bilodeau and Katie Raymond. But the most improved part of the team this year is their defense. They are able to stop runs and rebound and steal passes much better compared to teams of yesteryear. This defensive threat is led by Kelly Foster and Amanda Haslam.
The roster: Kaitlyn Pitrowski (12), Morgan Nealy (11), Katie Raymond (12), Paige Cleary (10), Kelsey Remick (10), Kim Martin (11), Kelley Foster (12), Elena Bilodeau (11), Katy Bickford (11), Kayla Dillon (10), Chelsea Alexander (10) and Amanda Haslam (10).
Varsity After seeing these ladies perform at a school assembly, my body hurt just thinking about trying to perform some of the moves they were doing. Harwood's Gymnastics team has some serious talent, including Annie Johnson and Frankie Bennett. The team has a very large roster offering many different talents at every event. They are coached by Anissa Touchette and assisted by Annette Litchfield.
The roster: Kylie Aronson (12), Heather Cutler (12), Annie Johnson (12), Melinda Lavery (12), Jessica Smith (12), Frankie Bennett (11), Lindsay Johnson (11), Courtney Nelson (11), Harley Pecor (11), Shannon Aronson (10), Liza Commo (10), Ashley Fay (10), Dana Litchfield (9), Kara Lynch (9), Maryah Magee (9), Bethany Preedom (9), Brianna Shepard (9) and Caitlin Touchette (9).
Middle School The middle school gymnastics team is a small group of girls who are very skilled at the art of gymnastics. They have a very athletic core and will a make great addition to the varsity squad in a couple of years. They are coached by Annette Litchfield.
The roster: Bryn Ballard, Cecelia Daigle, Kristyn Dash, Courtney Hallstrom, Shannon McDonnell, Cari Severson, Noa Shems and Erin Viens.
Varsity The wrestling team is a group of super athletic athletes, something not usually attributed to wrestling. This group of kids probably conditions harder then any other team at Harwood; just thinking about it gets me out of breath. The team has to be fit because they face some serious competition and they always give their competition a run for their money. They are coached by Brian Wagner and assisted by Brian Reed.
The roster: Cody Balch (11), Zeb Benoit (10), Florian Fisher (11), Tanner Griffith (12), Ben Harmon (10), Jacob Kernan (9), Josh Kernan (11), Finlay Miller (11),Troy Mullins (9) and Seth Naikus (9).
Middle School The middle school wrestling team consists of four kids that are devoted to learning all they can about the sport. They also train very hard, like the varsity. They are coached by Jay Lavanaway and Kenneth Griffith.
Roster: Milagro Kirpan (8), Kyle Streeter (7), Javier Suarez (7) and Alex Sowa [U32] (7).
Varsity Nordic The Nordic team is coached by John Kerrigan, a coach who I don't think needs any introduction. The Nordic team is always a competitor for the title at the end of the season and they have some real speed demons on their team. The team practices on one of Harwood's best resources, the backcountry trails behind the school. They have high hopes again this season and hope to have another great season.
Roster: Simon Butler (10), Ben Checkoff (11), Colton Crowley (11), Doug Daigle (11), Ben Horn (11), Brandon Kennedy (11), Caleb Kernan (11), James Kuzio (9), Patrick Markley (10), Zach Pfister (11), Zach Munro (11), Tim Shepard (10), Neal Smeltzer (12), Analina Aitken (11), Kelsey Bush (10), Kaitlin Fitzgerald (9), Kacey Kerrigan (12), Anne Mendes (12), Jillian Mendes (10), Chelsea Robinson (10) and Jules Vergura (10).
Middle School Nordic The MS Nordic team is a collaborative team of athletes, grades five through eight, throughout The Valley and Waterbury. They practice on the Harwood trail system as well under the guidance of Coach Tom Strasser. This is probably the biggest groups of kids on any team this winter and they all love the sports and enjoy skiing in general.
Roster: Geordy Aitken, Naomi Cormier, Lainey Curtis, Matthew Cutler, Max Eilers, Paige Gaylord, Reuben Kernan, Nathaniel Kuzio, Marika Mayberry, Nicholas Mayo, Kelly Myrto, Olivia Nishi, Jack O'Shea, Megan O'Shea, Molly O'Shea, Brianna Regen, Sam Robinson, William Robinson, Joshua Seckler, Devlin Shea, Javier Suarez and Charlotte Thompson.
Varsity Alpine Our last stop on the tour will take us to the slopes with the Varsity Alpine ski team. This team practices at Sugarbush. They compete in the fastest sport at Harwood -- they fly down the mountain at high speeds maneuvering the tricky courses set out for them. The athletes on the team enjoy the beauty of The Valley while getting topnotch coaching from veteran coach Steve Skilton.
Who? Eric Bidlack (12), Aaron Chesler (11), Scott Graham (9), Travis Hannon(12), Chad Koenig (12), Derek Lowe (9), Tanner Skilton (10), Abigail Brown (10), Caroline Dillon (10), Ariel Goodman (10), Lucy Gubernick (10), Lee Gubernick (9), Jessica Normandeau (10), Caitlin Shea (11), Anna Skilton (12) and Faye Wexler (9).
(Thanks to Amberley Mortensen for providing the rosters and also thanks to all of the coaches for their cooperation and help.)

So This Exists: A Broccoli Rabe Cocktail at High Street on Market, Philadelphia
Is it a bartender's duty to make sure drinks possess mass appeal? Guy Smith, bar manager of Philadelphia's High Street on Market, doesn't think so. Combining the juice of an already-divisive brassica with smoky-mouthed mezcal and dry seasonings more often found on ribs than in rocks glasses, he's created a vegetable-based cocktail so green it could double as a Kermit the Frog-inspired paint swatch.

Yellow Color Coded Runners (base Cables), Wall Plates, Flying Leads (Pigtails), Extension Cables, etc, are for PC Based UXGA Resolution Cabling Systems,with all of the signals necessary for Computer Displays.Blue Color Coding is for HT (Home Theater) Applications,and signals can be a variety of Video,Audio,and Digital Audio signals.Green color coded Wallplates and Flying Leads will work with either yellow or blue color coded Runners or Extenders.Red color coded Components are specially designed for digital video (DVI or HDMI) and must be used together exclusively. These can be passive for short lengths,or active for longer runs. The secret to RapidRun's flexibility is its cutting-edge connector technology, which creates a lossless connection between Runner and Break-Away. A precision-machined connector shell is cut from solid brass and plated to a bright nickel finish. Also, to resist the effects of oxidation and ensure years of reliable operation, the connector terminals are gold-plated. Runner cables are terminated with female connectors, eliminating the risk of fatal damage to a pin. To provide maximum installation ease, the female connectors include a protective cap with pulling eye. While able to withstand a maximum pulling tension of 30lbs., the split ring will fail long before damage can be done to the delicate termination points. The overall connector shape also plays an important role in RapidRun's ease of installation. The unique geometry of the female connector allows for it to glide through 3/4'' conduit, while the tapered rear of the connector provides enough relief to allow the connector to pass through a 90° sweep. * For effortless connection to the Runner, Break-Away terminations are finished with a male connector. Just align the red arrows to guide the connectors together and tighten the knurled locking ring. Pin configurations and mechanical keys allow acceptable combinations to easily mate, while blocking incompatible Break-Away combinations that could adversely affect signal transmission. Installers Benefit From Powerful Performance Advantages, Including: Uncompromised Signal Integrity: pin pitch and insulator material make our connector virtually transparent to the delicate video signal, resulting in minimal signal loss. Dirt And Damage Protection: the pulling caps protect the delicate contacts within the connector from the dirt, dust and damage – common on job sites. Flexible Durability: while durable enough to withstand 30lbs. of pulling tension, the connector is small enough to pull through 3/4'' conduit and even a 90° factory-manufactured sweep*. *Sweeps bent in the field may result in a smaller diameter or "flattened" sweep.

How do I use headphones with my LifeProof'd iPhone?
Last Updated: 10/25/2012 8:52 pm
The headphone jack cover screws in at the top of the case. This is really important as it keeps dust and water from getting inside. It needs to ALWAYS be screwed in when you are not using headphones.
Unscrew it when you are ready to use your headphones. Be careful not to lose it. There is a Keeper that you can clip onto your headphone cable, so simply press it onto the headphone cable as soon as you unscrew it. Don't worry too much, however as there is a spare jack cover included and you can also buy more from www.lifeproof.com if it gets lost.
You can plug in your Apple headphones directly into the headphone jack as most other headphone jacks are too fat to fit into the slim LifeProof case. We recommend always using either the General Use of the Swimming headphone adapters because they seal 100% of the water, dust, and other problems out of case.
Just push the headphone adapter in until it stops, then screw it firmly closed. Now you can plug any headphone into the jack at the top of the adapter.
To remove the headphone jack cover, simply unscrew it.
Remember to take the headphone jack cover out of the Keeper and screw it back in.

Award-winning "Racing Dreams" Follows Three Tweens With Supercharged NASCAR Ambitions; Special POV Broadcast Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012 on PBS
Award-winning filmmaker Marshall Curry (Oscar®-nominated
Street Fight
, 2005; Sundance winner
If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front
, 2011), returns to POV in 2012 with
Racing Dreams
, a chronicle of two boys and a girl who do something extraordinary: They fearlessly race extreme go-karts at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour in pursuit of trophies and, just maybe, careers as NASCAR drivers
And as the youngsters compete on the track, they also navigate the treacherous road from childhood to young adulthood.
Racing Dreams
winner of the Best Documentary Feature Award at the Tribeca Film Festival and
executive-produced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson,
has its national broadcast premiere
Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012
, at 9 p.m.,
as a special broadcast
on PBS's
POV (Point of View)
series. (Check local listings.) The film will also stream in its entirety on POV's website

American television's longest-running independent documentary series, POV has won a Special Emmy for Excellence in Television Documentary Filmmaking,
two International Documentary Association IDA Awards for Best Continuing Series and NALIP's Corporate Commitment to Diversity Award.
Fondly described as "
Talladega Nights
Catcher in the Rye
Racing Dreams
is a dramatic, funny and sometimes heartbreaking look at the world of NASCAR culture as lived by three young aspirants to race-car glory and their families. The film follows Annabeth Barnes (11 years old), Josh Hobson (12) and Brandon Warren (13) as they compete in the Pavement Series, a yearlong national championship of five races around the country organized by the World Karting Association (WKA).
The WKA's races have been a breeding ground for NASCAR racers in the past — Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Danica Patrick and others started out racing competitive go-karts — and Brandon, Annabeth and Josh dream of stepping up to the "big leagues," too.
For each of these young drivers, racing is more than just a hobby. Josh, who started racing when he was 5, grew up in car-country, not far from Flint, Mich. A well-spoken, straight-A student, he studies not only racing strategy, but also the political sensitivity it takes to be the kind of spokesman NASCAR and its sponsors favor. As precocious as he is, however, he doesn't recognize the financial burden that his passion places on his family: Each race can cost up to $5,000 for equipment and travel.
Annabeth also has racing in her blood. Her Hiddenite, N.C. relatives have been racing cars "since back in the moonshine days," she explains, and the love of speed has a particular significance at her age: "When you are 11 or 12, your whole life is filled with people telling you what to do. But when you're racing you make your own decisions. . . . You're totally independent." She takes special pleasure in beating the boys in such a male-dominated sport, but as adolescence sets in, she feels torn between her love of racing, which requires her to travel nearly every weekend, and a desire to be a regular kid.
For Brandon, racing is in many ways an escape from a difficult home life in Creedmoor, N.C. "If I'm not racing, I'm not happy," he says. His parents have wrestled with drugs, and so he lives with his nurturing grandparents in a double-wide trailer filled with racing memorabilia. Talented, funny and charismatic, Brandon also has a hot temper that sometimes gets him into trouble. He is aiming to win the championship that he lost the previous year when he was disqualified for rough driving.
As the tour unfolds, the three young racers step from the sheltered world of childhood into adolescence — discovering romance for the first time, questioning their relationships with their parents and glimpsing the serious obstacles that will threaten their ability to achieve their dreams.
"Some people might see car racing as a surprising subject for a PBS documentary," says director-producer Curry, whose other films have dealt with inner-city politics and the environmental movement. "But NASCAR is said to be the second-biggest spectator sport in America, and it's a part of our country's culture worth exploring. The film is also a lot more universal than it might seem on the surface. It was very well-received at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, where I bet most members of the audience couldn't name a single NASCAR driver. It's really as much a story about adolescence and that amazing chapter of our lives as it is a story about going fast."
DreamWorks Studios is currently developing the documentary into a dramatic feature film produced by the team of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (

- Global private regimes: Neo-spontaneous law and dual constitution of autonomous sectors in world society? (2000)
- In the current globalization debate the law appears to be entangled in economic and political developments which move into a new dimension of depoliticization, de-centralization and de-individualization. For all the correct observations in detail, though, this debate is bringing about a drastic (polit)economic reduction of the role of law in the globalization process that I wish to challenge in this paper. Here one has to take on Wallerstein's misconception of "worldwide economies" according to which the formation of the global society is seen as a basically economic process. Autonomous globalization processes in other social spheres running parallel to economic globalization need to be taken seriously. In protest against such (polit)economic reductionism several strands of the debate, among them the neo-institutionalist theory of "global culture", post-modern concepts of global legal pluralism, systems theory studies of differentiated global society and various versions of "global civil society" have shaped a concept of a polycentric globalization. From these angles the remarkable multiplicity of the world society, in which tendencies to re-politicization, re-regionalization and re-individualization are becoming visible at the same time, becomes evident. I shall contrast two current theses on the globalization of law with two less current counter-theses: First thesis: globalization is relevant for law because the emergence of global markets undermines the control potential of national policy, and therefore also the chances of legal regulation. First counter-thesis: globalization produces a set of problems intrinsic to law itself, consisting in a change to the dominant lawmaking processes. Second thesis: globalization means that the law institutionalizes the worldwide shift in power from governmental actors to economic actors. Second counter-thesis: globalization means that the law has a chance of contributing to a dual constitution of autonomous sectors of world society.

Americans have such romanticized ideals about
Thanks to Olivier Magny, a born and raised Parisian, Francophiles have a cheat sheet when it comes to emulating the French lifestyle. And on June 21, locals can meet Magny in Rosemary Beach, where he'll be signing copies of his latest book, "Into Wine."
Magny, also known as Mr. Wine Tasting, wasn't always a wine aficionado or tasting the city's best fare, which is what led him to be passionate about wine and the culture that surrounds it.
"Believe it or not, my mom's a really terrible cook," he said. "I never had gourmet food at home, so it was very appealing to me at a young age."
After graduating from Grande École, a business school in
"I got to realize that I didn't want that life," he said. "I decided I wanted what my heart was telling me — and it was telling me wine."
Magny started working at Hotel de Crillon, a luxury hotel in
"It shouldn't be stuffy," he said. "I really don't like wine snobs."
On top of his entrepreneurship, Magny is a blogger-turned-writer. His first book, "Stuff Parisians Like" derives from his blog of the same name.

On top of all of his accomplishments, he's also a record holder for highest wine tasting in the world — on a plane. The only thing he hasn't done yet is produce his own wine.
"I'm afraid if I made my own wine it would make people blind," he said.
When it comes to finding a good wine, it starts in the vineyard.
"To grow your own grapes that have something special require hard work, skill, love and luck," Magny said.
As a professional wine taster, Magny has traveled extensively around the world and he's tried some of the best — and worst wines the globe has to offer.
"I've done it all," he said. "I've drank some of the crappiest wines in the world. Little by little your palette evolves. You don't know the good stuff until you've tried the bad stuff. It's a journey."
When it comes to his favorite countries to grab a glass of fermented grapes, he's loyal to his roots.
Splitting his time between
"It's so beautiful," he said. "I'm looking forward to the sun, beach and sand. Have a glass of wine or champagne and watch the sunset."
In Magny's latest book, "Into Wine" wine amateurs and connoisseurs alike can learn about wine through Magny's wit and personal experience. Included with the book is perks such as: premium access to videos, a discount code giving you 10 percent off on any purchase on Ô Chateau's site and a full presentation of his "History of Wine" class.
"It's about giving people a more refreshing approach to wine, without the blah and stuffiness," he said.
Next time you visit a wine tasting — whether it's in
"Drink it and relax," he said. "Give each wine a chance."
And if you want to have what he's having, Magny's latest favorite is White Sancerre from
"You can drink it for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
The Hidden Lantern and Wild Olives are hosting a joint event during Magny's visit to Rosemary Beach. The wine expert will be signing books at The Hidden Lantern, while Wild Olives will feature French wines and French-themed gourmet tapas plate from 4 to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.thehiddenlantern.com or www.wildolivesmarket.com.

Hydroponics, or the art of growing without soil, is pretty darn simple. Water+nutrients+plant= better than dirt. No weeds! No bugs! No over-watering! No gardening smarts required! Just plop your plants in and sit back!
Here's how to build an easy wick hydroponics system with stuff around your house.
Step 1: What you need
- A plant with a somewhat small root-ball.
- An empty spice container, small. The lid must have a flip up top and holes, but the flip-up top can be broken off.
- Lid from another spice container, same size, but no holes
- Gravel or pebbles
- Old T-shirt, sock, or some sort of cotton fabric
- Distilled or bottled water
- Fertilizer that will dissolve in water
- Tape
- (Optional) black paint
Step 2: Preparing the jar
Then take the other cap, and cut a hole in the center big enough so that the holes in the other cap all show. Finally, tape the caps together.
Step 3: Prepare medium
Step 4: Prepare wicks
Then, loosely braid the long ends (The ends that will be in water) together in a way that they don't come apart. Tie a knot at the end.
Step 5: Prepare plant
Step 6: Assembly, part 1
Just a suggestion though: add 2 parts of fertilizer to one part Epsom salt (1 gallon of water, 2 tsp fertilizer, 1tsp of Epsom salt). The added nutrients from the epsom salt will help replace the nutrients that would normally be in the soil.

need a workout plan for me
I am in need of a workout plan that I can do. I have extreme shortness of breath(out of breath just from standing up) so when I tried following the 13 weeks to fat burning, the supersets were causing me to get too light headed and extremely out of breath. My heart would surge and pump like crazy. I also can only jog for about 20-25 seconds before my back aches and I am too out of breath. I am 6'4 male, 296 lbs and I need to lose weight bad. I want to improve my health but it is hard with my issues. I also get muscle soreness within 10 minutes of a workout... yes DOMS...that fast. All these problems happend after I had a year of panic attacks. My adrenaline is all screwed up. Doctors are stumped.
You need to step back and not do the 13 weeks for fat burning straight away. My guess is that you have little to no experience of exercising regularly and as such you have no idea what your physical capabilities are.
You have to walk before you can run. So don't rush into a full blooded workout and exhaust yourself. You'll find that your stamina (endurance) is not good. What you will be surprised at is that you'll actually be pretty strong as you are carrying your frame round daily and that requires effort on its own.
Focus on slowly building up endurance, i.e aim for 120-180 minutes of cardiovascular work a week total, spread equally over 3-4 days e.g. cycling/ walking / cross trainer. Exercise wise use body weight exercises like kneeling planks, then full planks, glute bridges, kneeling pressups, bodyweight squats. Core exercises that will help you develop core strength and posture. Even 30 minutes 3 times a week will help you get started.
Just building up intensity and then the time spent on cardiovascular work. Doing these will result in progression and potential fat burning.
Your main focus should primarily be dietary. There's got to be a 110% effort into diet as this will give you the greatest results and transformation, more than exercising will at your current stage in life. Exercise will become more important when you are at the stage of maintaining or increasing existing muscle mass and boosting your metabolism to further aid your fat loss goals.
One thing I would definitely advise is that you contact your physician and discuss exercising and dietary requirements with them before you even attempt any form of exercise. They should have knowledge and contacts which will help and advise you so that your health is always put first.
Also you mention issues. ''I want to improve my health but it is hard with my issues.''
Get the support of family and loved ones. Issues disappear when those around you support what you want to achieve. And equally don't let anyone get in your way. If you 100% want to lose weight then go for it.
Do or do not, there is no try.

I agree with what was said above.
-Start by walking every day for however long you can.
-Make healthier dietary choices and lose fat through caloric deficit.
-Find a good physician/dietician/etc. to help you with your specific needs.
"Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't."

Squat: 463 Bench: 275 Deadlift: 529 Total: 1262

Thanks Greg and Arian. I am not new to working out(I worked out in 2005 and lost 100 lbs with this site.) It has just been so long and I gained my weight back. Including all my issues that I have now. Doctors and family say my breathing and fatigue issues are due to my weight...thing is, when I was first this fat I didn't have these problems. It all started after having all these panic/anxiety issues. I think it's cortisol/mind/adrenaline related, I just don't know.
One other thing, I AM ALWAYS HUNGRY. when I was eating clean, or dirty, or whatever...I am just always hungry. I think its stress hunger or something. Is this because my body is toxic from eating bad all these years and my mind is craving fatty food?
Once again, thanks for the replies.
A lot of it may be down to the pressures of life, I know a lot of people who have a stressful day and the first thing they do is reach for a bag of potato chips and can of cola. Most of that desire is psychological as people associate eating junk food as relief. It becomes a negative feedback loop in that some people are stressed out and have issues due to their weight, as such they comfort eat to feel better. They gain more weight and the circle of self hate continues. If this is you there is only one way out. Believing in yourself. Good thing is that you have done it before. Try and get yourself back into the mindset you had last time round.
As for craving fatty food, again its the feel good about eating a greasy but yummy 4oz burger. Everyone likes it! But a healthy diet isn't as boring as people make other think.
Your main focus should be at first calorie reduction. Just focus on that. Substitute items in your diet that are calorie rich for bulky items with less macros in. E.g. rice cakes, wheat crackers etc.
I won't go into detail on this subject as your doctor should know more than I do. So listen to their advice.
Just one question for you. Are the panic attacks/anxiety due to work, home life or your weight?
Do or do not, there is no try.
massive respect for living with such a condition. I think the fact that you are talking about turning your health around and wanting to lose weight is great.
Hope all goes well and keep us update with your progress.
Do or do not, there is no try.

Katie on the left, Beki on the right.
Melissa on the left, Jona on the right.
I know what you mean about being up and about early. I'm a tea girl, myself.
Just wanted to let you know how gorgeous I think all these quilt squares are. The fabrics and what folks did with them...outstanding! Your Libby is one lucky girl.
Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
Such beautiful squares!
Can't wait to see this one come together. The blocks are all great.
That sentiment made me tear up! How lovely. Each of the squares holds it's own particular beauty. The resulting quilt is sure to be gorgeous.
As for being the first and only up - what's not to love? Peace and quiet in your own space.
Beautiful squares. And what a lovely quote.
You can't pick a favorite...they are all so unique and wonderful. I too love being the only one up in the house...I'm sitting here with my coffee smiling!
Such creativity! I love them all!!!
what a treasure this will be for your treasure of a daughter.
You are going to have such a fabulous time putting that one together! What an incredible project!
You've brought so many of us together here in your space, sharing your person, your family, your creativity and inspiration. And to know three beautiful children live in such presence, well, it's easy to wish good things for you, to write moments from the heart.
The squares are wonders of art and peaceful early mornings are divine.
Peace and sweet basil to you, Leslie, this new day!
Ana :)
ah! gasp! I love that too.
Your blocks are beautiful;) So colorful and cheerful;)
Those will make a beautiful quilt! I am so impressed by the creativity of each one!
Libby is destined to become a master crafter when she gets older with all this wonderful inspiration! I can't wait to see how the whole quilt comes together - the squares are gorgeous!
beautiful. Love the color and the care in each square.
this is already gorgeous! what a treat!
wow they all came out so great! i especially love the appliqued circles and flowers.
I think the quilt is a wonderful idea and the squares are all so well done, it will be beautiful.
I love early morning coffee and knitting time!
The quilt squares are looking gorgeous.
early morning, when the house is quiet is the absolute best!
Your quilt is going to be so beautiful, and is such a fabulous idea.
They are beautiful quilt pieces, I am sur eit will be a joy to put them all together. I usually have 15 minutes to myself in the morning and I really enjoy my cup of tea in silence!
What lovely thoughts on the quilting bee. I'll be sad when it's over. I can't wait to see your finished quilt!
So incredibly fabulous! All of the blocks and the idea behind the quilt. What an amazing work of art it will be. Libby is one lucky girly:)
Mmmm, up first. I always am, but am always rushing. But, yes, I too love it.
If you ever do a community quilt again, I'd love to participate! Such a wonderful idea!
such a lovely idea! I will need to find me 12 quilters somewhere! :)
I'm almost always the first one up in the morning. It's a nice feeling, having that quiet time. On virtuous days, I use that time to go for a run. More often though, I read a bit, maybe make some coffee, and think about the coming day.
I think I love Chris' best. Circles!
All the squares are a special reflections of the women who created them and within them is the connecting thread of the loving, talented mama who chose the pretty fabrics. Such a special thing! I can't wait to see the final product.
And oh, how sweet early mornings are. Everyday I make a point of getting up extra early so I can drink in some silence (and hot tea) before the workday really begins. Like a mini weekend every morning.
I love those early morning moments, myself! That is often the best part of the day for me. :o)
These pieces are amazing - what an amazing quilt this will be!
This is going to be AMAZING!
it really is fantastic!
now get sewing!
wow, its gorgeous!!! i cant wait to see it finished!
oh my word I love that last line. so wonderful!
Oh, I feel the exact same about waking up first. I HATE it when the little bastards get a jump on me.
Baseball update: Two hours in the 50 degree rain on a cold wet metal bench. Not sure what is worse - the pneumonia I'll be getting or the fact that everyone saw my hair turn into a frizzball fit to dust with!
love the fabric and the blocks, two are my favorite! Have fun putting the quilt together!
What a treasure for Libby! I have a friend who did a similar thing for her kids before they were born. Aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, & friends all embroidered squares for a quilt. My friend put all the squares together in a fantastic quilt and, of course, it is her kids favorite lovey. There is something about a quilt that communicates love, comfort, and encouragement like nothing else.
Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
That's going to be a heck of a quilt!
YES! Early morning in my comfy lounge chair with a fleece blanket, a hot cup of coffee, a book or knitting~PURE HEAVEN!!! I can NOT understand these people who sleep until 10 or 11 and miss the very best part of the day. There is just nothing like watching the sun come up, the dew on the grass, the birds singing and NO KID NOISE YET!!! It makes you praise the Creator for sure!
I adore the colors in these quilt blocks! I am really into this orange thing everyone has going on these Can't wait to see your finished quilt! Libby is going to LOVE this, I know! ~Jan
Beautiful, happy fabrics for a beautiful, happy girl!!! It is going to be amazing!
Getting up first is the best! The quilt is going to be just beautiful
I've gotten to "know" each of these girls through their blogs and this project and each square is so very "them". It's going to be beautiful, and I want it, too!
Wait, you mean some people actually get out of bed before their kids drag them out? Why, whatever for?
The squares are beautiful, and it makes me want to find a bunch of trustworthy bloggy friends to swap squares with.
Oh Les! Great concept, great squares. Can't wait to see the finished project. Libby will LOVE it.
What beautiful blocks! I love the one with the circular patches. Nothing beats women being creative!
Love all the different squares you are getting!
lovely, gorgeous, pretty,lovely, gorgeous, phantastic, great, phantastic, great, lovely, gorgeous, lovely, gorgeous, phantastic, great, phantastic, lovely, gorgeous, phantastic, great, great, lovely, gorgeous, phantastic, great... and more I am really impressed, seriously
The blocks look great. I went to my sewing room to pull out some fun fabric to make three quilts for my kids.
Thanks for the inspiration
i'm more the sleep late type myself....
adore, adore, adore the quilt. bravo!
LOL! the only way I'm up by myself is when I get up at 2am.. b/c I can't sleep! LOVE the quilt squares... They're truly beautiful!
I prefer being the last one up. In the afternoon.
Those quilt squares are gorgeous!
I totally agree. I always up a 5pm so I can have my coffee, peace and quiet, except the birdies talking to me. I love to read blogs and get new ideas for knitting and crocheting.
I love all of the squares. The colors are so pretty for a girl's room. This is such a great idea.
Oh, and you KNOW I love the early morning solitude, which didn't work out for me again this morning.
man that's going to be one GORGEOUS quilt.
Hey cool weblog, just wondering what anti-spam software you use for comments because i get lots on my blog. Anyway, in my language, there should not much good supply like this.
Your weblog is fine. I just wish to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing way an excessive amount of and it takes away from what youve received to say --which I feel is basically important. I dont know if you happen to didnt suppose that your phrases could maintain everyones attention, however you had been wrong. Anyway, in my language, there aren't a lot good source like this.

It is all the time good when you cannot solely be told, but in addition engaged! I'm certain you had joy scripting this article. Anyway, in my language, there usually are not a lot good source like this.
Great write-up, I am a big believer in commenting on blogs to help the weblog writers know that they?ve added something worthwhile to the world wide web! (source roblox-cheats.com). Anyway, in my language, there should not much good supply like this.

Cycles Of Life, Death, And Purification
The cycle of life and death represented by leprosy encourages us to bring acts of purity into our lives even when we have become impure.
By Simon S. Kaminetsky
We Also Recommend
Provided by the UJA-Federation of New York, which cares for those in need, strengthens Jewish peoplehood, and fosters Jewish renaissance.
Some commentators have interpreted Parashat Tazria as speaking of the deepest levels of intimacy between God and the Jewish people, described in terms of the love between a man and a woman. On the human level, this relationship is multi-dimensional, including physical and emotional intimacy. Similarly, the love between the Jews and God is a complex, dynamic union. The Jewish people's close bond with God nurtures and sustains it.
Parashat Tazria's second verse begins, "When a woman conceives [tazria] and gives birth…." The "woman" can be seen as referring not only to an individual, but also to the Jewish people, which brings new life into the world.
In addition to "conceives," tazria also can be translated as "gives seed," which is of metaphorical significance both for the Jewish people as a whole and for each individual. For after a seed is planted in the earth, its shell must decompose; only then will its growth potential be expressed. Similarly, with the mitzvot (commandments), observance (the seed), not the feelings they arouse (the shell), is of primary importance. In fact, the great medieval commentator Rashi and many traditional texts refer to mitzvot as "seeds," as it is written: "Sow for yourselves for charity."
The name Tazria, which refers to the theme of conception, can be connected not only to the opening passages, but also to the reading in its entirety. How is this so? Although the portion's first passages speak about birth, most of the reading concerns tzara'at, a skin affliction that resembles leprosy and that is the very opposite of new life. Indeed, our Sages state that a person afflicted with tzara'at is considered as if dead. How can such a subject be associated with new life?
The Rambam (Maimonides) describes tzara'at as not only a physical malady, but also as "beyond the natural pattern of the world…a divine sign and a wonder for the Jewish people to warn them against speaking gossip and slander." The punishments prescribed by the Torah aren't for the sake of retribution, but rather to absolve the person's sins and to enable that individual to correct or his or her faults.
Some suggest that the affliction of tzara'at is a divine instrument intended to prod an individual toward personal refinement, and to encourage the spread of peace and love among people. This interpretation encourages us to focus our efforts on bringing something new and pure into ourselves and into our environment, even when we ourselves have become morally "impure."
In this season of Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel Independence Day we recognize that the themes of birth and renewal are synonymous with our relationship to Israel. Our personal and professional lives, and the society we live in, continually go through many levels of purification. They do so as we strive, as both individuals and as a people, to repair the world that's in our care.

For the most part, the California High-Speed Rail Authority has done the right thing on the basic question of where its trains will go. But as we move from idea to implementation, things get messier.

Then Governor Jerry Brown vowed to abolish redevelopment agencies and got fairly close to doing so. Now redevelopment agencies have once again headed to the chopping block, only this time it's for real.

After threats to reduce service by nearly half, Caltrain officials last night agreed to scale back their drastic proposed cuts. The rail system's governing agencies have brokered a deal to avoid the worst-case scenario, which would have run only 48 trains on weekdays, a dramatic drop from the current 86.

Tolliver: Exam time for pastors and America…Written by Guest Author | | email@example.com
Well, if you read the papers, more states, like dominoes, are one by one falling to the wayside and are being placed in the camp of those capitulating states that are condoning gay marriages.
The states that are holding out are akin to being precariously perched on the razor thin edge of a skyscraper window ledge; with a brief financial push or a gust of political wind they too will fall in line and champion sodomites (derivative term from the Old Testament) marrying each other.
For me, everyone and anyone regardless of their sexual preferences should be entitled to rights of fairness in employment and housing and medical care and other attributes that citizens enjoy.
My beef comes in the fact that the concept of marriage, which was initiated and condoned and blessed by God to be a union of only a man and a woman, is now being transmogrified to include same sex individuals.
That is not a marriage. It may be a civil union, but it is not a marriage, which has been already defined by God and which cannot be redefined to suit the peccadilloes of the sodomite crowd.
Apparently with their relentless drive to be inclusive in the definition of marriage, the sodomite crowd over the years has spent considerable capital and time doing a convincing job of telling society that same-sex marriage is OK.
God has the copyright, patent and trademark on marriage and the parameters of what constitutes a marriage. A concept that has been etched in stone and backed by the inviolable Word of God is not subject to change or debate at the whim of contrary people.
Just as you cannot debate that water is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, you cannot change the gender of who is to marry whom.
Just as you cannot command the sun to stop beaming, you cannot tell God that He's got the concept of marriage all wrong and it should be changed to accommodate your sexual proclivities.
Just as you cannot fire a rifle and have the speeding bullet reverse itself mid-flight and return to the gun barrel, so you cannot practice the obvious lie that same-sex marriages are approved by God.
Oh, I know…I know. You want everyone to have their own freedoms and for everyone to be happy and in a state of marital bliss regardless of their sexual orientation.
But does that freedom to engage in same-sex marriage extend to the following scenarios, since it is also reflects my choice and my pursuit of happiness that I am seeking?
For example, which of the following marriages would be allowed by the courts on the basis that the parties have either the freedom to contract or it involves one's individual liberties and the pursuit of their happiness?
- A man falls deeply in love and wants to marry his favorite horse…or cow…or pig.
- A woman wants to marry three men at the same time.
- Three couples — all males or all females or a mixture thereof — want to intermarry with each other couple.
- People engage in "cluster" marriages by which a person from say, Japan, marries 19 different people from seven countries via Skype on a conference call officiated by a "minister"?
As you can see, the combinations of what a "marriage" can be construed to be is endless and that is why God placed limits on marriage, including who could marry. That's why marriage was the first institution that was placed into society.
One of the questions for the pastors who profess to be followers of Christ is where are their voices and their allegiances to the Biblical concept of marriage when this "Frankenstein" comes to a state near you?
Will these pastors raise a voice as one against such a fouling of the concept of marriage or will they meekly accept and hide behind their pulpits and stained glass windows and refuse to make a comment for fear of losing their Sunday morning pew sitters or the money in the passed offering plates?
Has the power of the pulpit so lost its moral influence and power that the world no longer bends a listening ear towards the Church of the Living God to hear, "What sayeth the Lord?" on social and moral issues?
Is it because those who occupy so many pulpits across America have so diluted their teaching and preaching that the world is more in the church than the church is in the world?
Has the saltiness of the church been trampled and lost and its light hidden under the proverbial bushel basket?
Has the pulpit been hijacked by mere hirelings who care not for the sheep or for even propagating a sound word that has a moral punch within it, or, would so speaking cause the effete pastor to wince because he would rather see the semi-illiterate (lack of Bible knowledge and discernment) pew sitter have their best life now and leave the church happy and not under any conviction or remorse?
The sheep are being scattered and the Caesars (courts and legislatures) of the world are trumpeting their new-found freedoms of control over the institution of marriage and are being energized by the well-oiled lobby of the sodomites who both deny and defy God.
Once the moral rot of the acceptance of gay marriages takes it full toll on these shores, it is only a matter of time before that rot metastasizes to other vital societal organs and America will be a burning ship without a port to run to or able to command a stream of water to quench the flames.
If the true church of God (not including those apostate denominations that have already bowed their knee to Satan in their acceptance of gay marriages) is to make a stand, now is the time.
They might have to forsake the applause and comforts of social acceptance and be willing to suffer the slings and arrows of an enraged Herod, but if they have already died out to self, they have nothing to lose but all to gain.
