En español | Latinos' votes saved a few endangered Democrats and helped create a new GOP star in Florida. The nation's first Latina governor also was elected. And Hispanic candidates — some running as Republicans — won political races in places Latinos had never sought office before.
In many ways, the 2010 elections set a new milestone in Hispanic politics.
The election featured "one of the largest numbers of viable Latino candidates" ever to seek office, according to Rosalind Gold, of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. "Hispanic candidates were able to raise money and they were strategic: They knew what races to run for," adds Gold, NALEO's senior director of policy, research and advocacy.
The number of Hispanics casting early ballots was up by 13 percent compared to the 2006 midterm election.
Latinos vied for top offices in 40 states, extending their reach from states that are heavily Hispanic, like California, Florida and New Mexico, to places where they are an emerging population, such as the Deep South, Midwest and New England. As a result of the election, there are more Latinos in statewide office and it's likely their numbers have increased in state legislatures, Gold says. Those results should be clear in the next few days.
"Riding the Crest of the Republican Tide"
There's another indication of the political maturity and increased ideological diversity of the Latino community: As the GOP gained strength, wresting control of the U.S. House of Representatives and winning new Senate seats and governorships, a number of those swept into office were Republican Latinos. "Latinos were riding the crest of the Republican tide that washed over the nation," Gold says, noting that some of the Republican Latinos ran and won in districts without Hispanic majorities.
In Congress, several Hispanic lawmakers lost their seats, including Reps. John Salazar, D-Col., and Ciro Rodriguez, D-Texas. But Latinos maintained their numbers in the House because voters elected several Hispanic Republicans, including San Antonio businessman Francisco "Quico" Canseco, who defeated Rodriguez, and David Rivera, who won an open seat in South Florida.
Also in Texas, Republican businessman Bill Flores, 56, defeated longtime U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards, a Democrat. Jaime Herrera, 31, a former House aide and Republican state legislator, won an open House seat in Washington state, becoming the first Hispanic to serve in Congress from that state. Another Republican, Raul Labrador, 42, who was born in Puerto Rico, defeated U.S. Rep. Walter Minnick to represent the state of Idaho in Congress.
And in Florida, Republican Cuban American Marco Rubio, 39, won a U.S. Senate seat. As a new star in the GOP firmament, Rubio is already being touted as a possible vice presidential candidate for 2012. And he's not hiding from his roots. As he said in his victory speech, "No matter where I go, whatever title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles."
When it came to statewide office, another Hispanic Republican scored a huge victory in Nevada: Attorney General Brian Sandoval, 47, was elected his state's first Hispanic governor, by a margin of 53 percent to 41 percent.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
10:17-24 All our victories over Satan, are obtained by power derived from Jesus Christ, and he must have all the praise. But let us beware of spiritual pride, which has been the destruction of many. Our Lord rejoiced at the prospect of the salvation of many souls. It was fit that particular notice should be taken of that hour of joy; there were few such, for He was a man of sorrows: in that hour in which he saw Satan fall, and heard of the good success of his ministers, in that hour he rejoiced. He has ever resisted the proud, and given grace to the humble. The more simply dependent we are on the teaching, help, and blessing of the Son of God, the more we shall know both of the Father and of the Son; the more blessed we shall be in seeing the glory, and hearing the words of the Divine Saviour; and the more useful we shall be made in promoting his cause.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 18. - And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. The Lord's words here were prophetic rather than descriptive of what had taken, or was then taking place. The seventy were telling him their feelings of joy at finding that his Name in their months enabled them to cast out evil spirits from the possessed. Their Master replied in an exalted and exultant strain - strange and rare sounds on the lips of the Man of sorrows - telling them how he had been looking - not on a few spirits of evil driven out of unhappy men, but on the king and chief of all evil falling from his sad eminence and throne of power like a flash of lightning. Jesus Christ saw, in the first success of these poor servants of his, an earnest of that wonderful and mighty victory which his followers, simply armed with the power of his Name, would shortly win over paganism. He saw, too, in the dim far future, many a contest with and victory over evil in its many forms. He looked on, we may well believe, to the final defeat which at length his servants, when they should have learned the true use and the resistless power of that glorious Name of his, should win over the restless enemy of the souls of men.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And he said unto them,.... In order to abate their surprise, and reduce their transport of mind:
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven; meaning, that this was no news to him, nor any surprising event, that devils should be cast out of men, and be in a state of subjection; for as he existed as the eternal Son of God before his incarnation, he was present, and saw him and his angels fall from heaven, from their first estate, their habitation of bliss and glory, down to hell, upon their sin and rebellion, as violently, swiftly, and suddenly, as the lightning falls from heaven to earth; and when he sent out these his disciples, as soon as they began their work, and all along in it, he, by his divine omniscience, saw the powers of darkness falling before their ministry and miracles; and he also foresaw how Satan hereafter, in a more conspicuous manner, would fall before the preaching of his Gospel by his apostles, not only in Judea, but especially among the Gentiles, where he, the prince of this world, would be cast down from his throne, and out of his kingdom; so that what they related, as it was what he knew before, it was but little in comparison of what he himself had seen long ago, and of what he foresaw would be; and even he would give them power to do other miraculous works besides these.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
18. I beheld—As much of the force of this glorious statement depends on the nice shade of sense indicated by the imperfect tense in the original, it should be brought out in the translation: "I was beholding Satan as lightning falling from heaven"; that is, "I followed you on your mission, and watched its triumphs; while you were wondering at the subjection to you of devils in My name, a grander spectacle was opening to My view; sudden as the darting of lightning from heaven to earth, lo! Satan was beheld falling from heaven!" How remarkable is this, that by that law of association which connects a part with the whole, those feeble triumphs of the Seventy seem to have not only brought vividly before the Redeemer the whole ultimate result of His mission, but compressed it into a moment and quickened it into the rapidity of lightning! Note.—The word rendered "devils," is always used for those spiritual agents employed in demoniacal possessions—never for the ordinary agency of Satan in rational men. When therefore the Seventy say, "the devils [demons] are subject to us," and Jesus replies, "Mine eye was beholding Satan falling," it is plain that He meant to raise their minds not only from the particular to the general, but from a very temporary form of satanic operation to the entire kingdom of evil. (See Joh 12:31; and compare Isa 14:12).
Luke 10:18 Additional Commentaries
The Seventy-Two Return with Joy
17The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." 18And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 19"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.…

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
By Scot Case
Greenwashing is still prevalent and savvy purchasers should know how to spot environmental claims that are meaningless.
The growing demand for more environmentally preferable goods and services has led many manufacturers to find cost-effective ways of improving their environmental performance and the environmental performance of their offerings. As a result, safer products of every kind are available.
Unfortunately, not all manufacturers have made the investments necessary to provide more environmentally preferable products. In order to compete in a market that demands "green" products, some manufacturers have resorted to creative advertising instead.
The practice of inflating a company's (or its product's) environmental benefits is known as "greenwashing." The practice appears to be growing, and purchasers are learning that they must carefully examine all environmental claims to ensure the environmental benefits they seek are reflected in the products and services they buy.
HISTORY OF GREENWASHINGIn the late 1980s and early 1990s when professional purchasers and individual consumers first became interested in buying green products, the following kinds of claims began appearing on products:
Manufacturers were using the terms indiscriminately and without any attempt to clarify their meaning. Purchasers were rightly confused about the meaning of the claims.
Following numerous consumer complaints, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which enforces a wide variety of consumer protection laws, began investigating what the FTC Chair at the time referred to as "advertising pollution."
As part of its investigation, the FTC identified a variety of deceptive advertising practices, including manufacturers making unsubstantiated environmental claims and misleading consumers about the environmental benefits of their products. Following its investigation, the FTC issued its Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims in 1992 outlining acceptable and unacceptable environmental marketing practices. The guidelines were revised and updated in 1998.
FTC guidelines require manufacturers to provide specific details explaining any environmental claim without overstating an environmental attribute or benefit. According to the guidelines, generic claims of "environmental preferability," "environmentally friendly," or "Earth smart" are to be avoided because they do not provide purchasers with any specific information that can be used to compare products. Such claims are unacceptable without an accompanying explanation detailing the specific environmental requirements necessary to justify the claim.
THE NEW FACE OF GREENWASHINGWhile greenwashing decreased following the release of the FTC guidelines, it did not completely disappear. In fact, as demand for more environmentally preferable products rises, greenwashing appears to be reemerging as an important concern for purchasers and other supply chain professionals. A forthcoming study of modern greenwashing practices identifies the following six greenwashing "sins":
SIN OF FIBBING - While rare, some manufacturers do mislead customers about the actual environmental performance of their products. Some manufacturers have claimed that their products meet the environmental standards developed by EcoLogo or Green Seal when it is clear they do not. The EcoLogo program even has a fraud advisory section on its Web site warning purchasers about misuses of the EcoLogo certification mark.
SIN OF UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS - Also known as the sin of "just trust us," some manufacturers are unable to provide proof of their environmental claims. Others use words like "green" or "eco" in their corporate or product names and hope no one asks for details. All environmental claims should be verified by an independent certifying body or auditor, or the manufacturer should be willing and able to provide the necessary documentation to prove a claim when it is requested. Purchasers should be able to easily verify the recycled content of a product or to learn whether it contains any ingredients of concern.
SIN OF IRRELEVANCE - Some manufacturers make factually correct environmental assessments that are no longer relevant for the particular product category. As an example, many aerosol products continue to make "CFC-free" claims even though CFCs have been banned in these products since 1978. These accurate but irrelevant environmental claims can confuse even savvy purchasing professionals.
SIN OF THE HIDDEN TRADE-OFF - Many products make bold claims about a single environmental attribute, which can lead purchasers to mistakenly believe that it is the only environmental attribute of concern for a particular product category. A cleaning product manufacturer, for example, is currently displaying an environmental certification mark documenting that its cleaning products are manufactured in a facility powered by renewable energy, which is clearly a beneficial environmental feature. The product makes no claims, however, about the potential human health or environmental hazards of the product itself. Purchasers could easily be misled by the certification mark to believe that the product is safer or uses safer ingredients than its competitors when that may not be true. Review products with single attribute claims carefully.
SIN OF VAGUENESS - Broad, poorly defined environmental claims continue to challenge purchasers seeking high-quality environmentally preferable products. A vague claim such as "100 percent natural," for example, can be very misleading because some naturally occurring substances such as arsenic and dioxin can be very harmful to human health. Legitimate environmental claims are not vague.
SIN OF RELATIVISM - A product can be the most environmentally preferable product in its class, but still be an appropriate choice. The most fuel-efficient sport utility vehicle (SUV), for example, is still less preferable if a mid-sized passenger car will suffice.
AVOIDING THE PERILS OF GREENWASHINGThe big challenge for professional purchasers and other supply chain management professionals is determining which environmental claims are meaningful and relevant, and which ones should be avoided.
The most powerful tool in the professional purchasers' arsenal is the power to ask good questions. When presented with an environmental claim about a product or service, the following questions can be useful for determining the accuracy and relevancy of the claim:
It is important to note that a stringent verification process is relatively meaningless if the standard itself is not meaningful.
FREQUENTLY SITED ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDSGiven the growing uncertainty associated with the rising number of environmental claims, purchasing professionals are increasingly relying on a few well-respected environmental standards. Based on a review of recent contracts, Energy Star is the most frequently cited single attribute program. EcoLogo and Green Seal are the most frequently cited multiple-attribute programs.
Some of the most frequently cited environmental programs include: Chlorine Free Products Association; EcoLogo; Energy Star Program; EPEAT; Forest Stewardship Council; Green-e; GREENGUARD; and Green Seal.
By relying on legitimate environmental standards and certification organizations, and asking appropriate questions, professional purchasers can ensure they are buying the highest quality green goods.

The air filter and the spark plugs are two items in your car you'll need to replace periodically. Once a year, you should replace your spark plugs. A spark plug gauge is used to set the gap for a proper spark. The owner's manual should tell you what your car's gap is. To replace spark plugs, simply remove the spark plug wire, unscrew the old plugs with a spark plug wrench, replace with the properly gapped new plugs and attach the spark plug wires. To check or change the air filter, locate the filter housings. Different vehicles connect the top of the filter housings in different ways. However, most have a single wingnut in the center and occasionally, clips are used around the outside. Remove the cover and take out the filter. If it appears slightly dirty, tap it gently on a firm surface to knock dirt away. If it's more than slightly dirty, replace it. Make sure you get the right air filter for your car. Usually a department store automotive section will have charts to determine the one you need. Position the new air filter and replace the cover. That's all there is to it.

Guard fires at snatchers, helps police nab them
NEW DELHI: A private security guard showed exemplary courage and helped cops nab three snatchers on Tuesday night.
The guard, Kamlesh Kumar, 37, was attacked by the snatchers while he was on his way to work at the DJB office in Tikri village. The snatchers, identified as Sher Khan, Wasim and Mohsim, came on a bike and ambushed him. The guard shot at them in defence, injuring one of them in the left foot, while the other two here hit on the right foot. They were later arrested by the outer district police.

I think NAGRI should maintain a data base of such incidents where a legally armed person averted a crime.. as there is too much negative publicity done by the media when it comes to gun ownership and maintaining such a data base would help us counter them

My Custom Home Office Tour and Setup – SPI TV Ep. 2
June 2, 2015
I've gotten so many requests to do a custom home office tour for you…so here it is!
Last year, my wife and I became homeowners for the very first time. It was a truly a huge moment for us because we'd been renting ever since we were married (5 years), putting money aside each month so we could someday live in our dream home. It's not a mansion or anything like that, but it was a new build, and definitely an upgrade from where we came from.
Our goals in selecting a new home were primarily related to the kids. A kid-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks and recreational areas, lots of other relatively young families, and a top-notch school district. Personally, it was a mandatory requirement to have a space that was to become my own office that I could build from scratch in a way that was best suited for the kind of work that I do.
It was definitely a blank slate which was fun to work with, but that was also very challenging too. The main direction came from what I did for work and how I wanted the space to enhance that, which you'll see in the video.
I definitely invested money into this space, comparable to that of buying a new car, however this is where my business is done within the home and I wanted to optimize my space and my work to become the most efficient person I could be. 'Invested' being the key word here.
Additionally, I wanted the home office to look and feel entirely different from the rest of the home, so when I come in here I can truly check-in both physically and mentally to do the work I need to do, and when I leave the office I can close the door and check-out as well. This was very important to me because I've had issues separating work and personal life in the past.
It's definitely a contemporary, modern space as you'll see. Since working in this office for a little less than a year now, I can definitely say it's working for me and has paid off for sure.
With that said, going back to 2009 when I filmed my first home office tour (link below) you definitely do not need to a huge fancy space and spend a lot of money in order to get work done and build a successful business. You just need to be able to have a space to take action and get what you need done, and at the very least be motivated when you get into that space and organized so you can focus less on cleaning up your area, and immediately get into the tasks you need to complete.
For those of you interested, here are some elevations of the space which, if you know how to read architectural drawings, directly translate to what you see here in this video:

Video Walkthrough of Space BEFORE it was built, which I sent to my designer for preliminary ideas:
It was quite a trip working on the "other end" of the architectural world this time around. For years it was my job as an architect and drafter to serve clients who would hire us for design work, and this time around it was me who was hiring the designer. I think it made my designer's life much easier because I could speak the language and easily read the elevations and plans for the space. Here's who I worked with:

Jo Hayton
5 days later
They finally got you here
A few yards away, a nursery
Opens to find your grandchild smiling at the door
I walk away with kisses from her
And glance at the building ahead
Knowing in a few short hours
I will see you Mum once more
Not knowing what I will see
A delicate arm on my shoulder from dad
Seeps into me with questioning
A worry, a concern this will affect my life
From here on in
What I find in this very room
My Mummy, cold and gone
My dad's precious girlfriend and wife
You have your own private room
A man hands us white tissues
Saying in a funeral parlour
This is the only thing that is free
It almost seems too harrowing
To realise we are paying
To be able to enter a room
So I can see my Mummy
Dad said you looked like a princess
As he then noticed your coffin lid
In light brown wood
Emblazoned with your name
He could only kiss you once
And tell you he would love you forever
To kiss you anymore
Would have been too much pain
I couldn't touch you at first
I was frightened
You looked like you had died in the hospital
Now you looked like you could wake just the same
Your eyes seemed so eager
I swear if you could of opened them
You would of said 'Boo'
And this was all just a game
I held your hand
And realised how much your nails had grown
You always wanted them to be long
And I smiled knowing this was true
The more I held your hand
The more you grew warm
You weren't so cold
This was me giving my life to you
I kissed your forehead
And touched your hair
Your skin so beautiful
So soft, not a blemish to see
But as always
In death as in life
You were always the most beautiful woman
In the world to me

Windows XP finally put to sleep by Microsoft – but it will still haunt us for years to come April 8, 2014 at 8:28 am
Fair citizens of the interwebs, I bring sad tidings: Windows XP is officially dead. As of this morning, April 8, Microsoft has officially end-of-lifed (EOL) Windows XP. If you're still running Windows XP, no further patches or security updates are coming your way, and you should upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8 immediately. Of course, in reality, some 30% of the world's 1.5 billion PCs still run Windows XP. If you factor in computers that are hiding behind governmental and institutional firewalls, and non-PCs, there could be billions of computers still running Windows XP today.

Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS)
A Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is a strategy to manage known or potential serious risks associated with a drug product and is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that the benefits of the drug outweigh its risks.
Risks associated with TIKOSYN
In order for Pfizer to communicate certain risks about TIKOSYN, Pfizer has worked with the FDA to develop materials to communicate the risk of induced arrhythmia.
The goals of the REMS for TIKOSYN are to mitigate the risk of TIKOSYN induced arrhythmia by:
- Ensuring that TIKOSYN is prescribed only by certified prescribers, dispensed only by certified dispensers and dispensed for use only with documentation of safe use conditions;
- Educating health care providers about the risks and the need to initiate and re-initiate therapy in a health care facility that can provide calculations of creatinine clearance, continuous electrocardiographic monitoring, and cardiac resuscitation;
- Informing patients about the serious risks associated with TIKOSYN therapy.

G-P, Pigeon Forge can't avoid elimination
Facing elimination against a county rival, the Pigeon Forge softball team let its opponent make the mistakes.
Four errors in a four-run Tiger fourth were costly enough to allow Pigeon Forge to cruise to an 8-1 victory over Gatlinburg-Pittman in the District 3-AA tournament on Tuesday afternoon.
"We just started hitting it, getting in a flow, getting things going," said Tigers pitcher Jessie Sharp. "That's all it took. Put some pressure on them."
But the Tigers made their own mistakes in the nightcap, losing 5-4 to Fulton after holding a 4-2 lead entering the seventh. The Falcons scored three runs, all unearned and with two outs, to win the game in the final inning. The loss knocked Pigeon Forge from the tournament.
"It was unexpected," said Tigers coach Jessica Henry. "I expected to play (today). I was proud of them for my first year. I had a really great group of seniors."
Pigeon Forge kept those seniors' careers going earlier in the day when four straight Tigers scored in the fourth inning of the early game to put the tournament hosts firmly in control. Alisha Norris had the biggest hit of the inning, driving in two with a single. She later pitched a pair of scoreless innings to close out the Highlanders' season.
G-P got its only run of the game in the second when Bethanie Trees scored after getting on with a single. The Highlanders had just one hit the rest of the game when Jerri Leffew singled in the sixth.
"Our 3-4-5 hitters, with them all being freshmen and a sophomore, you really put a lot of pressure on those kids that really haven't been in those situations," said G-P coach Haley Johnson.
The pressure on the Highlanders was never higher than in the fourth. Morgan Messick and Jimena Meza reached on back-to-back errors to give the Tigers runners on second and third with just one out. Norris followed with that two-run hit and BrieAnna Styles moved her over by reaching on an error. Norris and Styles would both eventually score.
"It felt pretty good to help my team out and score those runs to get us up by a lot," Norris said. "It felt good. … Just hit as a team. When one person hits, everybody hits."
Pigeon Forge tacked on a couple more in the sixth when Styles doubled and Carson Montgomery sacrificed her in. Sharp later singled in McKenzie Murphy for the third baseman's second run of the game.
"We came into it wanting to win that game," Henry said. "I think that speaks (volumes) on my girls. They're playing for the seniors."

I too love cilantro. Yet, I think it is somewhat of an acquired taste. The first time I had it a little bit was too much, but now I take dried cilantro out of a jar and chew the way men in the old days chewed tobacco. I think it does have health benefits. I can certainly tell when I have been chewing it and when I have not. Thanks for an interesting article.
I put my cilantro in a blender and blend it with frozen mangos, banana, strawberries, and one cup of water. It makes a wonderful smoothie great for when you have any digestive issues. Takes care of heart burn, gas, and nausea for me.

There are several different types of lasers used in the treatment of an enlarged prostate including the GreenLight, Holmium (HoLAP), and Evolve lasers and all are effective. Under anesthesia, a scope is placed into the bladder and the laser is then used to vaporize the enlarge prostate tissue until a wide open urinary channel is created. Typically, a catheter is left in the bladder for 1-2 days post-operatively but this depends on the size of the prostate and the surgeon preference. These procedures can be done as an outpatient at one of the hospitals we serve or at our outpatient surgery center.

It was truly a lovely event, and I wished that you had been there. The concert was extraordinary. I did miss Whither thou goest at the end and the special blessings: found myself thinking, is that really it?? (Whither thou goest has always had a very special personal meaning for me, because I am a convert to Judaism, and those verses were the verses I read in synagogue the day I converted. It feels as though they really do reflect a piece of my life. The first time I heard it was at the Beacon: I had read about this song I was unfamiliar with, but as they began singing it, the meaning of the words began to penetrate and I began to weep.)
Having said that, it didn't matter, because it was truly a wonderful concert: aren't they all?
Leonard seemed so incredibly happy last night: just happy, light, celebratory. Of course he was all the other things he is as well, but the happiness seemed so profound last night.
Leonard Cohen Played at MSG on Friday Night
And it was spectacular. Songs like "Bird on a Wire," "Suzanne" and "Everybody Knows" percolated throughout Madison Square Garden for several hours, as Cohen demonstrated that you can still rock out with hat head and sing about naked ladies at age 75. The crowd was composed of about 3/4 people over the age of 50, and to be honest, hanging out with the bubbies was a welcomed alternative to the madness of CMJ that was going on downtown.
Far too many aging performers make their later tours all about huge commercial production standards and vivid on-stage distractions (see: The Rolling Stones, U2), but Cohen's set is still tacked to the essence of his music and poetry. The biggest diversions on Friday were manifested by his appreciative interactions with his backup singers and musicians, and the occasional wild outburst by one of the AARP members in the crowd.
holydove wrote:Just wanted to mention that during Everybody Knows, when Leonard sang the line "from the bloody cross on top of Calvary. . .", he did the hand sing that we see in many paintings of Jesus, with 3 fingers pointing up and 2 fingers pointing down. I'm sorry I couldn't get my camera to work without the flash, and didn't want to disturb the performers by having the flash on. It would have made a perfect photo.

I am 27, have been with my boyfriend for 7 years & we have a child together. Lately, I've been having mixed feelings about my sexuality. It's like women are all I can think about for the past year & I'm almost repulsed by men at this point. I feel guilty because of our daughter, any advice?

Are you a Gold Star lesbian? (Just in case you don't know what it means, a Gold Star lesbian is a lesbian that has never had sex with a guy and would never have any intentions of ever doing so)
Ermmmm I feel like you haven't read anything I've ever written? Which is cool, but....yeah,I was married to a man and started dating women at 30, so I'm definitely not a "gold star" lesbian. But I also don't so much understand why that's a thing? It seems like just another box when there are already too many boxes. Just my opinion though.

Hi Edie, jus wondering- I how did you and Elle meet? Not sure if you addressed this but it seems like you two are very close friends. Did you know each other for a while? I am asking each other because I have seen a lot of articles recently about women falling love with their close friends.

Hi Elle and Edie!! I'm Ana and I love your show. I am moving out of state with my gf of 1 year and am nervous about moving in with her. We both have never lived with anybody before. Do y'all have any advice? The stress of a move, finding new work, and new living arrangements is overwhelming. Thanks!

I'm a 23 year old lesbian and I came out two years ago. I just went on my first date last week (and my second date last night) and I'm dealing with a lot of fears. I don't know if I like her romantically because I'm so scared. I don't know if I'm ready for any kind of intimacy, even kissing. Help?
Hello lovely! We answered this question on the newest episode (Ep 4) of the New Lesbian podcast, so you can listen to our thoughts here (around minute 16) (or find the show on iTunes, Stitcher, Soundcloud, etc):
But in case you can't listen right now, here's a summary of our thoughts: It all really depends on what specifically you're scared of. Is it that you're not ready for physical intimacy, is it that you're feeling that if you really start dating then you're gonna be REALLY out, or is it just dating in general? Or, is it nervousness about not knowing what to do in terms of the physical stuff? Overall, regardless of what exactly your fears are about, if you're feeling not ready for something, then respect that and give yourself time to figure things out. Fairer to you and whoever you're dating. But congrats on the first and second dates, and you're being brave for putting yourself out there at all!
Write us back if this answer doesn't help you at all and let us know more specifically what you're feeling scared of and we'll try to help! I can talk a lot about how to try to have fun with dating, if that's what you need!

Edie, you recentya wrote that you and your gf went through a tough time. Are things better now and if they are how did you get through it. i am going through a roough time right now in my relatioinship and could use some advice.
Things are better between Elle and I now, but it took time. I think we had about a month to a month and a half that were really hard, and we've had hard times before. A lot of our issues both this time, and in the past, are about our communication—or, actually, about our LACK of communication. We weren't talking about how we were really feeling about a lot of things, and weren't telling each other what we needed (both from the other person, and in our lives in general), and that led to a lot of the problems we were having.
The solution was TALKING. A lot. And talking honestly, and about things that made us feel vulnerable. I think that each of us heard, and said, things that we maybe would have rather been kept inside, but if we had, we would have continued down a bad road for our relationship, because we would have been pretending that things were okay when they weren't.
I don't know the specifics of what's happening in your relationship, of course, but whatever it is, the most important thing you can do to try to work through it is to talk to each other. About all of it. About every feeling and fear you're having. But I think it's really important to point out that Elle and I didn't FIGHT to work through our issues. Yes we got loud sometimes, and there were many tears, but you have to talk it out remembering that you're both on the same team. Try not to get nasty, unless the intention is for the relationship to end. I know from experience that the nasty things said in tough times leave deep and lasting wounds. If both of you still want to be together, if you want to get past this tough time and still be together, make sure to remember that and remind each other of that. You have to remember that the whole reason why everything is happening between the two of you, why you're trying so hard to come together, even if it's not quite working right now, is because you love each other, and are trying to make it work, but maybe don't know how or are scared.
Be kind, even as you are sharing your hurt, or hearing things that hurt you to hear.
I hope this helps, anon. Keep me posted?

Hello, I just read, "it happened to me", I felt like I was reading the story of my life. Freakishly similar. I just wanted to say, Thank you. I dont feel like my experience is exclusive anymore. Im 33 and by 2014 I will be single and and an out lesbian for the first time in my life.

I replied to your anonymous ask just now, but, find me on twitter (@

I am totally in shock, I just read your article, "it happened to me". I could have written that exact same story. That is me, my life is freakishly similar. I am 33 And over the last few years have been on the self discovery road. By 2014, ill be living for the first time as a single lesbian.THANK U
omg that's AWESOME I'm so happy for you!! I'd love to talk more about your story and how you're making it happen, i can be so hard, but it's so worth it, yeah? find me on twitter, let's talk xx

I have read most of your writing and I really have to say that I am very attracted to your mind and the way you think. If it doesn't work out with your girlfriend we should hang out. I am definitely cuter than her anyway/
LOL well, i'm flattered, but you are not cuter than her :) glad you like my brain though? xx

I read your story on xojane and had a very similar experience (super straight, no "I've always known" feelings) til i fell for a girl when I was just about 22.. Is there a way I could contact you to hear your thoughts on my own story? (and how I feel uncomfortable calling myself gay…)
Hi! I saw your comments over on my blog, when I get a chance later today I'll write you back! short answer though, I think it's fine to not identify as a lesbian- that's actually pretty common (I'll find some links if I can!) and I think it's great that you're in touch with yourself enough to know what "label" feels right for you!

But how do u kno if u r gay tho? If you had sex wit men and like strapons?
Okay, so I've been trying to think of how to answer this succinctly. And--there's no way to do that, other than--I just know. (ALSO, penetrative sex has NOTHING TO DO with being gay or straight, so there's that). If you REALLY want to understand how I, specifically ME, know that I'm gay, just go read my blog. It is ALL there in overly wrought, dramatic detail. If the thing that's confusing you is that I used to be straight, start here:
<--this post is about "choosing" to be gay
almost 2 years ago
Okay so why do you not like intercourse with men then?
I don't like sex with men b/c I am gay and LOVE sex with women. Not quite sure what the confusion is here? But good that you're asking, there is no stupid question!

No penises? So, no strapons?
hahaha no, I think strap-ons are awesome. just because something is shaped like a penis doesn't make it one!

do you have an instagram
nope, no instagram, partially because I don't really get what the big deal is? but mostly b/c I've got to protect the ID of my alter-ego! :)

ummm what?? if this was supposed to say "dtf" then the answer is no, sorry. and not just because I have a girlfriend-it's mostly because you don't proofread. :-)

UGA still has question marks as signing day arrives
National Signing Day always has some dramatic twists and chances are Mark Richt and the Georgia Bulldogs will experience a few lows as well as highs once the Class of 2013 is determined.
If most of UGA's commitments stick to their original plans today, however, the program looks like it will have another highly ranked group.
Georgia closes out recruiting season already ahead of the game with 13 freshmen/newcomers enrolled.
Five of them who stand out are inside linebackers Ryne Rankin and Reggie Carter, cornerback Reggie Wilkerson, safety Tray Matthews and wideout Jonathan Rumph.
Rankin was a big get for the program, which runs a 3-4 defense and is looking to restock the inside linebacker crew. Carter, a four star prospect like Rankin, will also have a chance to work his way into the lineup as a first-year player.
Rankin actually practiced with the Bulldogs leading up the Capital One Bowl and has a chance to start as a true freshman this fall.
The depth chart at safety will have a new look next season and Matthews will be given every opportunity to climb his way up the ladder.
Wilkerson will be challenged to step in early in a secondary that needs reinforcements, while Rumph, a JUCO transfer for Holmes Community College, could be catching Aaron Murray passes when Georgia lines up against Clemson on Aug. 31.
The Dawgs' 17 verbal commitments reflect the program's desire to bulk up talent on the defensive side of the ball.
There are two safeties (Paris Bostick, Shaquille Fluker), four linebackers (Leonard Floyd, Tim Kimbrough, Shaun McGee and Johnny O'Neal), and three corners (Kennar Johnson, Brendan Langley and Shaq Wiggins).
Last season it was offense that made the biggest splash with the signings of running backs Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall. Those two freshmen lived up to their billing and helped the Bulldogs win the SEC East.
This time it appears Richt and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham hope the "wow factor" will be generated by recruits on the defensive side of the ball.
Perhaps the highest profile defensive target who has yet to decide is defensive lineman Montravius Adams out of Dooly County in Georgia.
As of Tuesday, however, there were reports that indicated Adams was headed out of state to play for Auburn.
Coveted linebacker Reuben Foster appears off the grid after he publicly committed to Alabama on Monday and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, who was also considering Georgia, has apparently decided on Ole Miss.
Outside linebacker Davin Bellamy, a three-star recruit out of Chamblee High School in Georgia, has said the Dawgs remain his top choice, although nothing is official until it becomes official today.
Bellamy brought some unwelcome attention to himself when he went to Oregon on an official visit and posted a photo to Twitter that showed him and a group of people sitting on a couch. In front of the couch was a small table that had a bong (marijuana water pipe) on it.

It's been a long time since the last blog post and life has moved more than briskly. We've started two companies, traveled to incredible parts of the world and have done (and am doing) things I never imagined I would do. It's been the most enriching (and challenging) few years of my life. And yet there are things in my life that have not taken root the way I would have liked, goals and desires I thought would have been fulfilled by now. There's this mix of happiness and heartbreak at this juncture of my life.
When I left college, I had a plan. Job, grad school, job, fortune. But as many others would attest, life didn't turn out as planned. Things happened that were completely out of my control. And this is for the good and the bad.
My wife and I started a business (company #1) almost 3 years ago designing baby blankets that change the lives of marginalized women in India. That definitely was not in the plan (anything that's not doctor, lawyer or engineer is not i the plan). We've been to some of the most destitute parts of the world and have met some of the most courageous people. Our work is challenging, fun and meaningful. It's been a privilege and joy to do the work we're doing.
But as I sit here reflecting on this Mother's Day, I'm reminded of my mom's pre-mature passing almost 8 years ago. She had so much more life to live. I'm sad I only had her for 32 years of my life and I miss her deeply. There were many moments where I needed her words of wisdom and unconditional love. It however does make heaven more real, the joy of seeing her again more palpable.
I'm 40 now and I want to write down a few things I've learned, reminders to myself as I move into this next season. Here we go:
- Seize opportunities – Opportunities come and go. And you have to seize them when they come. I think about the past 15 years (church planting, two companies, speaking opportunities, cable boxes, etc.), and the need to run with opportunities that presented themselves. I have many bruises, but no regrets.
- Failure is inevitable, so don't fear it – My life is not defined by failure (it's defined by Jesus), but I've failed at many things. I remember moments. Awkward, tragic moments where I said or did the wrong thing. There were many and there will be many more to come. Accept it and move on.
- No one has it figured out – On first glance, everyone seems like they have it figured out and I have nothing figured out. But that's not true. No one really has it all figured out and I do know more than I give myself credit for. Have confidence in what I do know and move forward with an attitude to learn fast and learn well. The key is confidence (rooted in the Gospel and how God made me).
- Can't do it alone – I don't have everything I need to make it work. I need God. But I also need others – they're talents, encouragement and critique. The sooner I give up on being the savior, the better.
- Relationships are important – This is both professionally and personally. As relational and pastoral as I am, I need to work on this more. I'm too focused on reaching goals and I need to spend more time just being friends.
- Take care of myself – Sleep, eat and exercise. This is actually faith in God. When I don't take care of myself I am saying back to God that I'm not worth being taken care of. It's a reflection of how I see myself and affront to all that God does to take care of me.
- Keep following the Father – There's only one person to please. It's hard because it will mean displeasing so many others. I wrestle with it constantly. But He knows the way and his way is always best.
Things I need to work on:
- Spend more meaningful time with my wife and family
- Focus
- Read more full length books (and not tweets or FB updates)
- Improve my Chinese
- Exercise and sleep at 10pm
- Work on "new" additions
- Develop a hobby
Be back again soon.

Activities Fair encourages Willamette students to engage in campus life
Colored tablecloths and animated introductions sprinkled the Quad recently as the annual Activities Fair invited students to get involved on campus and engage in the wide variety of organizations offered at Willamette.
Club participants say the fair is a great way to gain membership and raise awareness about all the goings-on at Willamette — not to mention the benefits for individuals involved in co-curriculars.
The perks of involvement
Beth Dittman, assistant director of student activities, calls the fair "a great way to connect to the vast and diverse co-curricular community at WU."
"Based on national data and research findings in this area, students who are involved on campus generally have a more positive experience and are more successful academically," she says.
"We have more than 100 student organizations participating from ten categories: multicultural, religious, service and support, social, sports and recreation, academic, performing arts, Greek, honorary and media."
The variety of activities provide many ways for students to learn about leadership, diversity and communication — helping them at Willamette and in their future careers.
A diverse spectacle
Whether they are sharing their academic studies with the community, committing hours to service or learning others' perspectives through social events, all the organizations live the Willamette motto: "Not unto ourselves alone are we born."
Tyler Runyon '11, a biology major and president of Willamette Emergency Medical Services (WEMS), says that volunteering as an EMT is a great way to get hands-on experience while helping Bearcats in need. WEMS provides quick response emergency medical care to students.
Chemistry Club does combustion demonstrations at local schools to get children excited about science. "We get to reach out to the Salem community as well as meet students from other disciplines with similar interests," chemistry major Charlotte Osborne '11 says.
Mortar Board, an upperclassman honor society that focuses on service, leadership and scholarship, serves others by providing an academic resource, says Victoria Mayfield '11, an exercise science major. "Mortar Board helps you find students who are as equally driven as you are," she says.
According to English majors Isabella Guida '12 and Angela Boston '12, The Chrysalis literary magazine is a critical piece of the Willamette puzzle. "We get to show off Willamette's literary and artistic talent once a year, while also creating a diverse, talented lit community," Guida says.
"It's easy for writers to miss each other in passing," Boston adds. "We bring them together, so that doesn't happen."
Something for everyone
The Activities Fair allows students to engage in any of these clubs — or the 96 others — and to get their proverbial feet wet in the Willamette puddle.
"Students who attend the fair are sure to find a way to connect with people who they are similar to, as well as stretch themselves by associating with people who are different from them," Dittman says.
Marissa Bertucci '13, an English and African studies major, says the fair gave her new perspective on the dynamics of Willamette in the Salem community.
"It shows that living within the 'Willamette bubble' actually presents us with amazing opportunities to create organizations and in turn, reach outside of the bubble."
If you missed out on the fair, you still have a chance to get involved. Look for the Activities Fair II in the spring, and the Office of Student Activities welcomes email year-round regarding questions about student involvement.
