Same-Sex Parenting: Can We Honestly Pursue Truth?

By Dr. Joseph J. Horton
When discussing the possible effects on children of being raised by same-sex parents, I have told my students that the best evidence we have is that there are no negative effects. I also tell them that the best evidence we have is not very good. Thus they should remember the injunction of Karl Popper--in science everything is subject to revision and rejection.
The latest entrant to the discussion of same-sex parenting is Mark Regnerus from the University of Texas. Dr. Regnerus found that having at least one parent who (at any time) had a same-sex relationship is associated with an increased risk for negative outcomes. A firestorm of controversy has erupted. Charges of academic misconduct have been leveled. The charges were investigated by the University of Texas which concluded that misconduct had not occurred.
That is not to say there are no legitimate issues with the study. A person who was involved with funding the research was also involved in the peer-review process leading to publication. He should have declined to review the study due to a conflict of interest. However, there was no sleight of hand to hide methodological problems. Readers can identify strengths and weaknesses and make judgments themselves. Indeed it is promised that the data will be made publically available for others to analyze as they see fit. Regnerus is being more open than most researchers.
The most important issue with the paper is whether Regnerus' comparisons are fair and appropriate. When choosing a group of children of heterosexual parents, many possible family structures could be used (e.g., step families, single parents). Regnerus chose to use children raised by both biological parents even though his data would have allowed for other groups to be used. This sets the bar high as, on average, children who were raised by both biological parents have the best outcomes. When comparing different family structures, feelings can easily be hurt. Truth seekers need to examine data honestly while acknowledging that not everyone in a category is average. Certainly many children from other family types turn out quite well.
What is the correct composition of the other group--children of same-sex parents? It is not a simple decision. For example, do we count children who were conceived by biological parents who divorced, after which one, or both, had a same-sex relationship? Regnerus' comparison group was children for whom either parent had a same-sex relationship at any time. Thus, the comparison was between children raised in the family structure that (on average) fares best in virtually every study vs. children raised in several different situations. Given the comparison, the general findings are not surprising.
This was not the first study with less-than-optimal comparisons. Loren Marks from LSU has documented the flaws in studies which have found either no differences, or advantages, to same-sex parenting. For example, comparing children of upper-income lesbian couples and heterosexual single mothers is not a fair comparison. The Regnerus study is the latest in a long line of studies examining children of same-sex parents which used less than optimal comparisons. The Regnerus study does have a better approach to sampling from the population than many previous studies. It should be viewed as an imperfect addition to an important research and social conversation.
One of Marks' conclusions in his review is that when new issues begin to be addressed by researchers, "it takes time, often several decades, before many of the central and most relevant questions can be adequately addressed." It makes sense that children raised by new family structures would differ from those raised by two biological parents. These differences could be either meaningful or trivial. I believe that with time and additional study these differences and the nuances surrounding them will become clearer if the research community is free to honestly pursue the truth. It seems that many on both sides of the issue are not interested in honestly pursuing truth.
However, those of us who value traditional morality must always consider the real-life alternatives when evaluating future research. Suppose that there is increasing evidence that children raised by same-sex parents are at increased risk for some negative outcomes compared to an appropriate comparison group. What should moral traditionalists conclude if the choice was between some children being adopted by same-sex couples or being in the foster-care system? The scientific and moral issues are complex. They need to be addressed honestly without claims of scientific misconduct whenever a researcher reaches conclusions that some do not like. Similarly, imperfect studies should not be championed as the final word by people longing to justify their moral beliefs with science. How about an honest pursuit of truth?

I seem to recall he recently bought a spare 6" tripod and ring gear from Australia. What does he do with all of it?

text: What started out as an ordinary trip to the mall when she was fifteen ended up changing Hannah Holman\u0027s life forever. \u0022I was shopping with my mom to get a dress for a school dance when a woman asked me if I\u0027d ever considered modeling and gave me her business card,\u0022 explains the now-nineteen-year-old Utah native. \u0022I was already in a good mood that day because I was getting a new outfit—but it wound up being so much better!\u0022\u000A\u000AA fashion novice at the time, \u0022I always wore T-shirts and jeans,\u0022 she admits. \u0022I lived in a town of 200 people, worked on a farm, and didn\u0027t know any designers.\u0022 Not that her lack of familiarity with the fashion world—nor her five-foot- eight frame (considered petite by modeling standards)—has held back the platinum-haired beauty. In fact, Marc Jacobs recently cemented Hannah\u0027s status as a rising star when he chose her to be the face of his latest scent, Daisy Eau So Fresh, launching in February. For the ad campaign, she jetted off to the south of Spain and spent a sunny summer day frolicking in (what else?) a lush daisy field. \u0022There was a horse on the set, and I grew up around animals, so I asked [photographer] Juergen Teller, \u0027How about I ride it?\u0027 totally as a joke,\u0022 she remembers. \u0022He loved the idea!\u0022\u000A\u000AHannah\u0027s natural, rural roots shine through in her ad as well as in her beauty regimen. \u0022I don\u0027t wear much makeup, but Nars concealer is amazing!\u0022 she says, adding that she\u0027ll sport red lips if she wants a dramatic look. She credits her luminous skin to this secret: \u0022I mix Decléor face oil with my lotion. It makes you look so glowy.\u0022 Her current obsession, however, is the new version of Daisy, which is a light, cheerful take on the original fragrance. \u0022The scent is feminine but not too sophisticated. It\u0027s playful!\u0022 she says—in other words, perfect for this supercool, small-town girl.

In Tuvix, Janeway again makes the call. Clearly they thought it out as Tuvix uses this argument in defending his own life, that it's not Janeway's call to make. But Janeway's the captain, she's making the tough choice, even though it's not hers to make and she's playing god with people's lives and taking one against his will. It's definitely a moral dilemma, but it's not Janeway's to resolve.
Picard certainly would have given a stirring lecture about how the greater good should compel Tuvix to make the proper choice. Kirk probably would have insulted him into doing it by shaming him with his cowardice. Sure, Janeway isn't Kirk or Picard but I don't think either of them would take a man's life against their will in this circumstance. As for it making Janeway "more human" somehow? I don't see it. She's not the "hero" in this episode and is acting downright villainous.
It's not the last time Janeway will play god with people's lives & make tough calls that aren't really hers to make. I think that in trying to make their woman captain appear strong & decisive, they turned her into someone who makes a decision, then wallows in guilt over it later. Can't really go into any more detail at this point in the series.
I'm not sure the "greater good" means that Tuvix has to sacrifice himself. Chakotay (wuss who says nothing when Tuvix is pleading for his life) said that Tuvix was an example of the whole being greater than the sum of his parts, and Janeway's log praised him as more than competent as both a chief of security and a chef.
As for making her more human, it's the flaws that make us human. And heroes don't always act heroically. Sometimes they're driven by the same emotions the rest of us are.

Hello to my fellow Menopause Maniacs,
I have to share with you a true maniac moment that happened just a couple days before Thanksgiving- this one is going on my records list.
After a long day of running errands I went to Publix to shop for Thanksgiving dinner. I make this broccoli dish every year. So, I run in, get what I need, go to the checkout and I can't believe it- no one in line, what luck! (Or so I thought) The cashier starts to ring me up and there is no price on the foil pan, I say to her "well, I knew that was too good to be true," she laughs and asks me "what are you making?" I give her my recipe for my famous broccoli and Ritz cracker dish, I swipe my card, they bag my food and off I go.
As I put the food in my trunk I see the bag boy running toward me and he says "excuse me but you have to come back in the store, you are not in trouble or anything we just need you back." I say "what the hell are you talking about?" Then the cashier is at my car saying "hey, you didn't pay for your groceries." I said "I most certainly did! I swiped my card." "Yeah but I didn't finish the transaction" she says, so now they remove my bags, put them back in the cart and we walk back into the store, all 3 of us. I feel like a crook. Talk about the walk of shame! The manager is waiting for us, I wanted to die! So now they admit it's not my fault. "Ok, whatever" I say "just ring me up I want to go home." He rings me up, I swipe again, and off I go.
After I load my car for the second time, close the trunk, and get in, I look at the receipt and it says $87.00 for broccoli!! So, I unload my car, go back in with my cart full of food, and go to the counter. Now I'm pissed big time! I say to the manager "look at this! $87.00! This is wrong!" He goes in the office comes out and says its right.
So I shove the receipt in his hand and start yelling, "Look at this! Do you see a turkey or soda? How about ice cream? Do you see any of those items in my cart? I have broccoli! Broccoli" I scream! "You know what?" I yell, "Give me a refund and I will find a Publix that knows what they are doing!" He is trying to calm me down but it is not working. I now have the attention of the whole store as I scream "I just want to go home! Its 4pm, I've been in the car all day! Do you know I haven't even peed since 8am?! Just give me my money back please I need to leave!" He begs me to listen, "I just want to give you a gift card for your trouble that's all," he says, I tell him I don't want it! "Please let me go home" I repeated over and over.
Finally a women manager comes over, takes control and re-rings the food again. She gives me $87.00 in cash, my refund and now the male manager, the one that knows I need to use the bathroom really bad, hands me a $25.00 gift card and says "I am so sorry for your trouble." I say "I know you are. Me too!"
The moral of the story is I didn't flip out the first time thanks to my natural progesterone, but I had missed lunch and 2 snacks. My blood sugar, no doubt, was low. This is full blown proof that theBodyLogicMD nutritionprogram that I talked about last blog really makes sense. I think any reasonable person would have been pissed. But when you mixmenopausewith low blood sugar what a cocktail! Dr. Lee told me not to leave the house without a snack in my purse and I never will again.
Oh by the way, I will give the gift card to a needy family. I feel guilty using it.
I hope you had a great turkey day!

Can you use the PP (or gold) you would earn in a scenario, should you survive, to pay for a Raise Dead?
i.e. if you complete enough of the scenario (or module) to earn at least one PP if you survive, and at the start of the day you were one PP away from having the cost of a Raise Dead, can you count that one extra PP you have coming to you towards the cost of bringing you back to life before close of play?
|Cruven Carter
you can't use it to pay for you to rise within the scenario/module but you can use it to res yourself after your party completes the mission or flees after completing your faction mission. Unless, you somehow have the time for your party to drag/carry your body to your faction headquarters where they will resurrect you for the PP.
|Steven Huffstutler RPG Venture-Lieutenant, Washington—Pullman aka Coraith
|Walter Sheppard RPG Venture-Captain, Washington—Eastern Washington aka WalterGM
|John Francis RPG Venture-Lieutenant, California—Silicon Valley aka JohnF
We have always ruled that you can use the gold you get if your team completes the scenario to pay for a raise dead.
That's how I've seen it played, too. But I wasn't sure the same would apply to PP. While logic would suggest that it did, there is too much room for uncertainty, and I'd rather not leave the fate of a character dependent on table variation if that could be avoided.

The big bet on Wall Street that has fueled today's big stock market rally proved to be correct as top Senate leaders say they have struck a deal to reopen the government and extend the nation's debt ceiling.
The comments by the top ranking senators from both parties, Democrat Harry Reid and Republican Mitch McConnell, likely mark the end of debt impasse that has shut down the government for 16 days and put the nation at risk of defaulting on its debts for the first time in history. The deal, of course, needs to be ratified by votes in both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Obama, ...

Affiliated with the restaurant of the same name next door, Entrelagos has been whipping up sinfully rich chocolates for decades and arranging them with great care in the storefront display windows. Most of what is sold here is actually made at Entrelagos's factory outside town, but a small army of chocolate makers is on-site to let you see, on a smaller scale, how it's done, and to carefully package your purchases for your plane ride home.

Kurt Sutter Slams "Small-Minded" AMC Over Dropping Glen Mazzara
WME Signs 'Sons Of Anarchy' Creator Kurt Sutter
Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter has never been hesitant to tell people how he really feels and today he really let AMC have it over showrunner Glen Mazzara leaving The Walking Dead. Taking to Twitter on Friday, Sutter called the network executives "small-minded, bottom-line thinkers who have no appreciation or gratitude for the effort of it's creative personnel." He also warned that without Mazzara at the helm the "future is dim" for The Walking Dead – and that's the nice stuff. Read all of what Sutter had to say:
AMC is run by small-minded, bottom-line thinkers who have no appreciation or gratitude for the effort of it's creative personnel. Time and time again we see events like what happened today with Glen Mazzara. They continue to disrespect writers, shit on their audience and bury their network. Mazzara took the work-in-progress that was "Walking Dead" and turned it into a viable TV show with a future. Without him, that future is dim. Showrunners are not development executives, we're not cookiecutter douchebags that you plug into a preexisting model. TWD will suffer. Even Zombies need consistency. "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" will be gone soon. So will AMC. I hope their fucking stock takes a dive and the shareholders line up Sapan, Dolan and Collier and shit in their open hands. Cunts.

text: Hey all - I'm in the process of using Excel to automate the design of sediment basins used for erosion control purposes. My goal is to have Excel automatically calculate basin parameters based on user-entered data, without the use of macros, Excel Solver, or external programs. This will keep the worksheets distributable and allow for easy design optimization. One option for areas in tight spaces is to allow the emergency spillway to carry part of the design discharge, while the principal spillway carries the majority. Both can be modeled as weirs, for which the following relationship exists: Q = CLH1.5 Where: Q = design discharge (known) C = weir coefficient (known) L = weir length (known) H = head or depth of water above weir bottom (unknown). When both spillways are modeled as weirs with bottom elevations separated by an [known] elevation E, the result is: Q = C1L1H1.5+C2L2(H-E)1.5 or, since the C and L are known for each weir, simplified as: Q = AH1.5 + B(H-E)1.5 Is there any way to solve for a value of H, given that the other variables are all known, in a single equation? Since I'm modeling a real system, I'm only concerned with the real, positive solutions. If it's not possible, I'm willing to use Excel to guess-test-iterate to a solution, but that's a non-ideal scenario. Thanks in advance, -Nick

I recognize the contradiction, but from a practical standpoint I don't have a problem with it. It fits with the idea that such an organization might have more in common with something like Greenpeace or PETA etc. Such groups often believe that they have altruistic intentions but can be hypocritical when it comes to their own behavior. Hell we've seen the Federation do similar things on Trek itself..."OMG those horrible Klingons are interferring in that world's development," while the cosmos are littered with worlds that the non-interferring Federation has interfered with.

Hi that's basically it. I want to use the same wpsc product pics "main and thumbnails" on two separate sub directory WordPress installs with differing domain names. These are not a multisite installs.
Background: I have one site set up already on a sub dir. mysite.co.uk - This site has wpsc installed and contains all the product pics for all my products. I then want to set up a different site myintersite.com and use the same pics so that I don't have to upload them all twice, etc. and save time and space on the server. Can this be done? If so what steps should I take? Could I also then choose which thumbnail etc. to show for specific products in the new site using the old images from the last site?
Many thanks, Olly

Railay Beach
Getting there and away
The closest airport is Krabi international, located some 30 km to the east and, like the rest of the mainland, only reachable after a boat ride. Upscale resorts will offer pick-up service at the airport. Otherwise, you'll want to catch the airport shuttle bus to Krabi town (90 baht) or Ao Nang (150 baht) and make your way to one of the piers with boats to Railay.
The nearest inter-provincial bus terminal is in Krabi town. Several popular destinations can be reached via combined boat and minibus tickets, which also include subsequent ferries if it's an island that you're headed to. These can be booked at any travel office on Railay. Some of the transfers listed here are dependent on demand in low season. Fares we were quoted include:
Bangkok: Departs Railay at 15:00 all year, costs 800 baht, takes 15 hours and also services Hua Hin.
Khao Lak / Khao Sok National Park: Departs at 10:00, costs 500 baht to either destination.
Ko Jum: Departs at 09:00 and links to the local ferries at Laem Kruat, costs 600 baht, takes around four hours.
Ko Lanta: Departs Railay at 10:00 and 15:00 all year, costs 450 baht including the car ferries to Lanta, and takes around four hours. Lanta can also be reached direct by speedboat in high season (see below).
Ko Lipe: Departs at 07:00 all year, costs 1,200 baht, takes around seven hours. In high season, an additional transfer departs at 09:00.
Ko Muk / Ko Ngai / Ko Kradan: In high season only, combined tickets can be booked along with the 10:00 minibus to Trang. The cost is 1,200 baht to any of the three islands.
Ko Samui / Ko Pha Ngan / Ko Tao: Departs at 06:00, 08:00 and 11:00, costs 750 to Samui, 850 to KPN and 1,100 to Tao, and includes a speedboat transfer to the islands. Additional transfers link to ferries rather than speedboats and cost a little less. The last transfer departs Railay at 15:00.
Pakbara (pier for Ko Tarutao, Ko Bulon Lae and Ko Lipe): Departs at 10:00, costs 650 baht, takes around six hours.
Phuket: Departs at 10:00 all year, costs 450 to 500 baht depending on where you're heading on Phuket, takes around five hours and includes a stop at Phang Nga town. Phuket can also be reached by direct ferry (see below).
Surat Thani: Departs at 10:00, costs 450 baht.
Trang / Hat Yai / Satun: Departs at 10:00, costs 500 baht to either Trang or Hat Yai, 650 baht to Satun.
To/from the mainland
Our preferred pier with boats to Railay is Ao Nammao, reachable until 20:00 by readily available songthaews from either Ao Nang or Krabi town. Longtail boats depart when full and cost 80 baht per person, with the last one leaving around 23:00. These boats are preferred by locals and so run more consistently (typically every half-hour) than those from Krabi town and Ao Nang. They disembark at a floating pier off Railay East. To return to Ao Nammao, simply show up at the same pier and tell the ticket sellers where you're headed.
From Ao Nang, tickets to Railay can be purchased at a booth where the main drag meets the beach road. Longtail boats depart when full from 08:00 to 0:00 and cost 100 baht per person until 18:00 and 150 baht thereafter. These can drop you at Railay West, Ao Tonsai or Haad Phra Nang. Expect to wade through shallow water on either end. Boats return to Ao Nang in the same timeframe -- purchase tickets at a booth in the centre of Railay West beach, or simply listen for the boatmen shouting "Ao Nang!"
From Krabi town, boats to Railay use the Chao Fah pier near downtown and the traveller area. In high season, they supposedly depart at 09:30, 11:30, 14:00 and 17:00, but don't expect promptness as they leave when full. The cost is 150 baht per person and they disembark at Railay East. They return to Krabi town when full, usually once around 10:00 and again at some point in the afternoon. Expect to pay around 1,500 baht for a private boat.
To/from the islands
Ko Lanta: In high season, a ferry to Lanta picks up on Railay at 10:45, arrives at around 13:00 and costs 450 baht. From Lanta, it returns to Railay at 13:30. Note that unlike the speedboats from Krabi town, this one does not stop at Ko Jum.
Ko Phi Phi: A year-round ferry departs Railay at 09:45 and costs 400 baht. From Phi Phi, it returns to Railay at 15:30.
Ko Yao Yai / Ko Yao Noi: In high season, a speedboat picks up at 10:30 and costs 650 baht to either island.
Phuket: A year-round ferry departs Railay at 15:00 and costs 650 baht. In high season, a speedboat departs at 10:30 and costs 1,200 baht. From Phuket, the year-round boat returns to Railay at 08:30.
Railay is not on any of the high-season island-hopping speedboat routes. To catch up with them, make your way to Ko Lanta, from where speedboats depart at 10:30 and 11:00 and stop at Ko Muk, Ko Ngai, Ko Kradan, Ko Bulon Lae, Ko Lipe and Langkawi in Malaysia. You could also pick up the Tigerline high-speed ferry that departs from Ko Phi Phi at 09:00.

Michael Laudrup's side earn a draw at the Liberty Stadium after conceding first-half goals from Pavel Pogrebnyak and Noel Hunt as Royals spurn chance of first win of the seasonSwansea came from two goals behind against Reading as strikes from Michu and Wayne Routledge cancelled out Pavel Pogrebnyak and Noel Hunt's first-half efforts to earn a point at the Liberty Stadium in a 2-2 draw.
The Royals took the lead against the run of play as the former Fulham striker Pogrebnyak latched onto Jobi McAnuff's through ball and fired past Michel Vorm from inside the penalty area. Hunt made it two just before halftime hitting a sublime volley into the net from close range.
After the break it was all Swansea as it dominated the game, first Michu got a goal back headed in from close range from Routledge's cross. Routledge then followed by getting the leveler as he drove into the penalty area and fired past Alex McCarthy to earn a point for the Swans.
Michael Laudrup made just one change to his side that lost to Stoke last time out with Wayne Routledge replacing Pablo Hernandez. Meanwhile Brian McDermott also made a singular change with Jay Tabb replacing the injured Mikele Leigertwood.
Reading and Norwich remain the only teams in the Premier League without a win.

Brandon Vosika's series "I Tried to Draw You Last Night" feels like a tribute to friendship. He's caught his friends in natural poses; the drawings feeling as easy and sincere as a friendship should be. It's not a simple task to draw people who are close to you – you want them to see the thought and care you put into making something just for them.
Brandon's technique and use of materials is another aspect of these pieces that caught my eye. He's painting with watercolor but not on watercolor paper, hence the uneven wrinkling of the paper. Brandon's rejection of "proper" materials enhances the casual nature of the pieces. I love his varying line weight in each of the drawings. Shapes and forms are suggested, lines trail off into nothing - these are truly sketches, but as personal pieces and as a body of work, they feel like more than an afterthought dashed off on a scrap piece of paper.See More »

While squeezing through the narrow aisles of the recent Miami Zine Fair, I came across Mitchell Goodrich and his work at a small but very neat table. His defined style immediately drew me in as something familiar but still unique.
The doodled objects float in space like points in a conversation: all connected by a theme but not uttered in a required order, just waiting for their turn to become relevant. Mitchell expertly captures what is so whimsical and wonderful about doodling, but also how it can be more than a mindless pastime. His work was a standout at the zine fest, the monochromatic drawings lending themselves perfectly to photocopied pages of a hand-bound book.
Mitchell moves easily from monochromatic to pieces energized by color and more cohesive design. Long Dog and End of a Summer Bummer are beautifully colored examples of how his style can transition from simple black doodles to fluid imagery chock-full of action and cohesive hilarity.See More »

I began following Eric von Boxtel on Instagram a few months ago, when his layered and full-colored doodles popped up on my feed. They instantly caught my attention because there's probably nothing I like more than thick black doodled lines over a backdrop of color. It looks easy, it looks like a mish mash of a mess, like a kid who might have gotten away with a box of markers, but it's not at all the case.
These scribbles and shapes of color are intentional and come together so perfectly. I love looking at each spread, trying to find something new or to figure what he's drawn first on the page. If you want to be mesmerized for a full minute and forty-five seconds, watch this time-lapse video.See More »

Art that sticks to the basics is often the most compelling. When I found these doodles by an illustration student named Laurel, I lost track of time and scrolled through months and months of drawings before I realized how deep I had gone. Many of her drawings are childlike, but each rough line was drawn with purpose. The best for me are her series of giant girls wandering the world, sitting on waterfalls and poking your house.See more » See More »

I found a peculiar art blog with almost no details on the doodler responsible for it. O4YA draws characters that seem like personified emotions. Sometimes childlike and other times creepy (or occasionally both), almost every illustration seems like a prompt for a story. The details in the drawings are specific enough to spark curiosity, but not enough to answer my questions.See More »

Aphrodite Delaguiado is a designer and illustrator who thinks with ink. What does that even mean? She understands mistakes aren't all that bad, and sometimes end up being the coolest part of the drawing. I poked Aphrodite with questions about her art and what I got in response was inspiring thoughts on doodling and some pretty worldly context for her illustration in our Coloring Book Volume 4.

As someone who draws in his sketchbook every single day, it's incredibly satisfying when an opportunity presents itself to bring those doodles to life. A little over a year ago I drew up some geometric shapes, turned them into a vector pattern, and submitted them to Bucketfeet (along with many other artists) for consideration into their Spring 2015 collection.
Bucketfeet is a brand that makes beautifully illustrated artist designed canvas shoes. They support artists from around the world, and I'm thrilled to announce that they've selected my "Asteroids" design for their catalog. It's now available for sale on their website and comes in two versions: laces or slip-on. They've also been kind enough to extend an awesome 20% discount (for my shoes or any other pair in their shop) to all Doodlers Anonymous fans, just use discount code OKAT20 at checkout.
You can become an artist for them as well. They are always looking for the next cool design, just follow this link to join the Bucketfeet Artist Network and get the process started.

Thanks, very helpful.
Thanks for the link to the recipes. I hoped it was easier. I am a bit worried about buying so many different components and weighting them to half gram, then having to adjust pH. I hoped it was a bit like preparing a cocktail. I think I'll go for a ready-made solution.
Thanks for the information. The site is actually www.morco.uk.com (morco.uk.co sells kitchenware).
They have a "special offer".
I am going to ask them if they can send to Italy.
In the meanwhile, please tell me what to do with the starter-replenisher dilemma. I use the chemistry "one-shot" with my Jobo (actually "two-shots" as I immediately reuse once). I remember I only need one of those, which IIRC should be the "replenisher", but I am not sure.
Should I just buy the replenisher, or should I buy both and mix the two?
@anyone else
Please keep the information coming :-) The problem might not be solved yet.
Thanks for the help
PS the roll came out completely black. That should point out that the colour developer is fine. Is there a way to test it to be sure? I don't have a first developer at the moment therefore I cannot develop a test roll.
My colour developer has two components to be mixed. The first bottle contains "p-phenylendiamine derivative" the second bottle contains potassium hydroxide. Is this two-component composition safe as far as oxidation is concerned?
They both look "pretty", limpid and clear.
The first developer looked opaque when undiluted so can I just trust my colour developer from mere visual inspection?

A new report cites poverty and a lack of a national housing strategy for the dramatic increase in homelessness in Canada.
"Canada's homeless population is somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000 people, while another 1.7 million residents struggle with "housing affordability issues," says an analysis of the latest research on shelter.
In a report released Tuesday from the Calgary-based Sheldon Chumir Foundation for Ethics in Leadership, journalist and author Gordon Laird argues homelessness is now chronic and is quickly becoming one of the country's defining social issues. He makes a case for a national housing strategy and a more robust income security program.
Citing statistics from a wide range of organizations, Laird says poverty is the leading cause of homelessness in Canada, not substance abuse or mental illness. "Roughly half of all Canadians live in fear of poverty, and 49 per cent polled believe they might be poverty stricken if they missed one or two paycheques," he writes.
In his report, Laird writes that street counts of homeless people have increased dramatically - 'Calgary's homeless population grew 740 per cent between 1994 and 2006.'
The report criticizes Canada for trying to contain the growth of homelessness with temporary measures such as shelters and other crisis-based services. It cites studies that show the cost of emergency shelters is much greater than the cost of creating affordable housing and implementing rent supplements."

Samsung a leading mobile phone provider has announced the latest touchscreen mobile Samsung Champ C3303 in India and it is the smallest and cheapest touchscreen mobile. Samsung Champ C3303 is the first full touch mobile which can function as an enhanced Music Player with a 3.5mm ear jack and dual speakers and with a similar crystal frame design. The phone is for young stars and they will seriously love it. Okay let's see what else this phone has to offer you.
The first ever touch phone with touch is launched in India looks awesome with diminish sized with 2.4 inches TFT resistive touch with not so happening colors and having screen resolution of 240×320 pixels. All the edges are curved and the phone comes with a range of colors to choose from. It has physical buttons such as menu, call and call end with volume rocker in left. The phone measures 96.3 x 53.8 x 13 mm in dimension and is light weighted of 80 g only.
The phone runs on SNS and has a low grade processor. The phone uses TouchWiz Lite user interface. The camera is also not looking very interesting as it has 1.3MP rear camera with a screen imaging of 1280 x 1024 pixels. The video recording is also possible and not looking very good as it supports QCIF@15fps. Not so happening phone for photo and video functions. Yes the only part is the music which plays loud music and has Stereo FM radio and has built-in antenna. The phone plays MP3, WMA, eAAC+ audio formats and video only MP4 and H.263 formats.
Other features like SMS, MMS, Emailing, social networking is acceptable.

Adobe Creative Suite 3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional : Acrobat Connect What does the Acrobat Connect Web-based collaboration service have to do with Acrobat? If you can find a good reason why they both have the same name, please let us know.
45 / 81
Bottom Line
Just getting the former Macromedia programs integrated would have been a major achievement, but Adobe has also managed to give each program significant new features and functionality. I strongly recommend the terrific values found in the Creative Suite 3 packages for anyone involved in computer graphics.

Why Allergies Spike During the Holidays
Lots of holiday favorites can trigger or irritate allergies, from food and pets to wood-burning fires and seasonal greenery.
And while you may manage allergy symptoms pretty well most of the year, symptoms to indoor allergens like these can really spike during the holiday season.
Why? Blame our tendency to snuggle in when the weather cools.
"You're in a closed-up house, the heater is on, the windows shut --- that's why indoor allergies get worse in the winter," says Asriani Chiu, MD, associate professor of pediatrics and medicine (allergy/immunology), at the College of Wisconsin.
You can do a lot to alleviate holiday allergies -- but first you need to know what's triggering your symptoms to begin with.
What's Behind Holiday Allergies
More than 40 million Americans cope with year-round allergies; the causes can be nearly as varied as the people and their locations. But there are some common holiday allergy triggers, including:
- Food. Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas: winter holidays mean lots of dining away from home, plenty of seasonal foods, and an abundance of parties -- all of which heighten the chances you'll accidentally eat -- or be outright tempted by -- foods you're allergic to.
- Mold. It's invisible to the naked eye, it floats in the air like pollen, and your exposure to it may increase during the holidays because mold spores love damp evergreens like the wreaths, boughs, and trees we bring inside this time of year. The mold and mildew in decaying leaves only adds to the irritation as we track them inside on shoes and clothes.
- Pets. Your pets probably enjoy the seasonal socializing as much as you do. That's one reason symptoms to pet allergies can worsen around the holidays; pets are indoors more, both at your house and in the homes of friends and family.
- Dust mites. These microscopic allergens are a perennial allergy irritant and they can be even more aggravating around the holidays when the air gets damp and we spend time in hotel rooms and in other people's beds.
While it helps to know why your allergies may kick up during the holidays, it's just as important to know what you can do to relieve symptoms -- or avoid triggers completely.
