Spanish prints and drawings are little known outside Spain. It is generally assumed these were marginal arts practised by a minority of artists, but the number and diversity of the works displayed here prove this not to be the case. This exhibition, drawn exclusively from the collections of the British Museum, spans a long period from the Renaissance through to the 19th century. The earliest prints and drawings are by 16th-century artists working in Castile such as Alonso Berruguete and by Italians who took part in decorating the monastery of the Escorial near Madrid.
The great flourishing of drawing during Spain's Golden Age (the 17th century) is represented by some of the most important artists, amongst them Vicente Carducho, Alonso Cano and Francisco Rizi in Madrid; Francisco Pacheco, Murillo and Zurbarán in Seville; Juan Ribalta in Valencia; and José de Ribera in Spanish Naples.
From the 18th century, key works by Luis Paret, José Camarón and other masters show how drawing practice developed in response to international influences and the greater mobility of artists. In the second half of the century printmaking became a thriving industry and served a growing market in Spain and abroad. Lastly, the work of Francisco de Goya demonstrates his incomparable range of graphic expression and the variety of the subjects that captured his imagination.

City: Rocklin Road on 'life support'
By: Jon Brines, Placer Herald Correspondent
Rocklin Road west of Granite Drive is a patchwork thoroughfare through the heart of Rocklin that's starting to annoy drivers. Denise Demitru uses Rocklin Road everyday to get to class at Sierra College. "It's pretty bad," Demitru said. "If there is a pot hole on the road, you should fix it." Demitru said her friend blew a tire after hitting a pot hole on Rocklin Road. "When it is dark and the pot hole is full of water, you can't see it," Demitru said. Barber Tim Veloz listens to cars rattle over the top of the uneven surface while he cuts hair at the Rocklin Barber Shop at Meyers Street. "I get complaints from customers all the time," Veloz said. "People complain about how bumpy it is. A bad street says something about a city." City council has now taken notice and is looking at a plan that would iron out the trouble. "I am getting more and more people asking me, 'When is it going to be repaired?'" Councilman Peter Hill said. "The issue that I have is that I know we are going to be doing some roundabout work in the near future, but the condition of Rocklin Road is pretty bad." The city is expected to start work as early as next April to create Rocklin's first major roundabout at Meyers Street and Rocklin Road. The work hinges on federal funding that is set to expire. "We've always been successful in advancing these projects. I think we'll be successful next year, but I can't guarantee it," City Engineer Larry Wing said. Otherwise citizens will have to wait until 2012 to get the federal funds once again through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program. The council will have to decide if they want to spend extra money to fix it now or just wait until the project starts. "Basically, Rocklin Road is on life support," Rocklin Public Works Director Kent Foster said. "If we are going to have a really wet winter, we're going to have a lot of pot holes. We need to put something down to at least hold it together." Veloz watched city crews the last time they patched the road and he said the condition of the road actually got worse. "It seems like a big waste of money to repair it twice," Veloz said. "If you are going to the trouble of repairing it, make sure that the repair is done correctly so it's not worse than what it was." Hill said a quick fix has to be done right. "If there is a way to smooth the road out without wasting money on something that will be torn up during construction of the roundabouts or causing problems with construction of the roundabouts, I certainly would consider it," Hill said. According to Foster, there are no easy answers. "It is very difficult to build something, spend money and then turn right around and have it ripped out," Foster said. "How much time and money do we have, is what it comes down to." Council is expected to weigh options at the Aug. 10 city council meeting. The public is welcome to give their feedback.

The Sagittarius Man
The Sagittarius man: Love, Sex, Friendship, Style
Sagittarius Men - Personality
When dealing with the Sagittarius man, remember that not all who wander are lost. He is a vagabond and an eternal traveler. It's not all fun and games, though. He seeks Truth, Beauty, and Wisdom, and the only way he can find these ideals is to travel, meet others, and ask some soul-searching questions.
Knowledge is important to the Sagittarius man as it drives his attitude to life.
He is interested in philosophy, religion, and the meaning of everything.
An eternal optimistic, he enjoys his explorations of life, wherever his path may
take him. This is the adventurer of the zodiac, and some well known Sagittarius
men are Brad Pitt, Ben Stiller, Bruce Lee, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison.
Love, Sex, Romance, and Relationships with Sagittarius Men
Understanding Sagittarius Men
Money & the Sagittarius Man
The Sagittarius man's life is not dominated by money. He needs it, but not as
much as he needs his independence, and this gentleman may feel that any long
term, locked-in investments could deprive him of that autonomy.
Fashion & the Sagittarius Man
The color purple represents artistic creativity, so this hue will be found in
the imaginative Sagittarius man's life. Turquoise is another color associated
with the sign of the Archer.
Relationships & the Sagittarius Man
Cheerful and trustworthy with a lot of friends – that's the Sagittarius man.
He's generous and always willing to help friends and family when they need it,
but his sometimes reckless character causes him to make commitments he's unable
to fulfill.
Romance & the Sagittarius Man
Health & the Sagittarius Man
It's easy to understand why the Sagittarius man is always active once you
realize that his Zodiac sign rules the hip and thigh sections of the body –
areas characterizing motion in the human anatomy.

Hi all,
I'm relatively new around here and I'm currently working on my (conversion/upgrade) of my current single speed Peugeot bike. The bike I believe is from the early 70's.. it looks like this one
Anyways I purchased 700cc tires, a new seat, and I'm gonna get new bars (as I currently have bull horns) but am sick of them. My biggest problem (which Ive read all over) is with the bottom bracket. I need it replaced because I want new cranks (currently they are the old cotter type) and a new chain ring (since I ran 52-16 for a year and they suck up hills). I'm looking to go 48-16 (not sure if this would make a difference). Anyways the bottom bracket is killing me, honestly I don't know what to do. The cups are good so I think I can replace the axle to upgrade but I have no clue on how to do this or where to purchase one. I have tried reading all over including Sheldon browns website but am still confused. If its really costly I might just forget about the frame and buy a new aluminum one. Please help someone. Thanks

County Commission moves ahead with redevelopment plan once backed by Koons
Palm Beach County commissioners on Tuesday agreed to move ahead with a West Palm Beach development project that lost its biggest supporter when scandal forced former commissioner Jeff Koons to resign in August.
The commission agreed to start negotiating a contract with Transit Village LLC to lead a project to build a transit-friendly development with homes, new shops and offices within walking distance of train and bus lines north of City Place in West Palm Beach.
Before sealing the deal, Transit Village must produce a traffic study to address concerns that traffic to the development could overwhelm already crowded downtown roads.
Koons for years pushed for the transit-friendly redevelopment project as an alternative to more urban sprawl.
But just two weeks after Koons was forced from office, the commission in August delayed plans to move forward with striking a deal with the lone bidder for the project – Transit Village LLC.
The development plan for the 5.7 acres has called for as much as 950,000 square feet of building space, including retail, offices and more than 200 homes targeted for students, moderate-income buyers and others interested in living near transit lines. Plans also include a 400-room hotel.
The Transit Village development team is headed by Boca Raton attorney Michael Masanoff, who has long pushed for redeveloping a collection of government-owned land near City Place.
Koons and Masanoff once served together on the South Florida Regional Transportation Board.
Masanoff has said that losing Koons from the commission should not mean the end of the redevelopment project.
Koons in August pleaded guilty to felony extortion, misdemeanor perjury and violating public-meeting and public-records laws in his push to stifle opposition to a West Palm Beach environmental project he favored.
Two weeks after Koons stepped down, the commission delayed a decision on the transit village proposal and called for asking the city to help pay for a traffic study about the impacts of the development plan.
West Palm Beach was not willing to pay. County commissioners on Tuesday opted to begin negotiating a deal with Transit Village, LLC. The development group would have to pay for the traffic study.
After getting the study, the County Commission could opt not to proceed with a deal with Transit Village, LLC.
The Florida Department of Transportation and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council both endorsed moving ahead with the development plan.
County Commission Chairman Burt Aaronson said the deal offers the county the chance to "act on" efforts to boost mass transit.
"We should have acted on this before," Aaronson said.

Larry Elovich, venerated political advisor and attorney, dies at 77
< Previous page 1 2 3 4
(Page 4 of 4)
In 2002, Long Beach was portrayed as a grimy and dilapidated city in the Robert DeNiro film, "City by the Sea." Elovich told the Herald upon the movie's release that Long Beach residents were due an apology. He and other city officials held a press conference lashing back at the portrayal of Long Beach in the film, loosely based on the 1996 murder committed by Joey LaMarca.
"In the '40s and '50s, people wore dinner clothes on the boardwalk at night to go to some of the more famous hotels," Elovich said in the 2007 interview. "In the 1980s, property values went through the roof and the city got rid of every boarding house in town. A big project with a Waldbaum's knocked down a lot of less-than-desirable houses and it went from there to having condos on the beach."

Consensus is forming, and it looks bleak for FAU
Well, a consensus is forming.
And the bad news is that the consensus is this – FAU is going to stink this year.
The venerable Pre-Snap Read has started its countdown, and FAU comes in at No. 106.
When the only good news is that there are 14 teams ranked lower than FAU, then the situation is pretty grim.
More bad news is just one Belt team is lower than FAU, and that is Louisiana-Lafayette. So the Owls are expected to finish 8 in the 9 team Belt, and that means behind North Texas and Western Kentucky. Yikes.
Now, if this was a wildly pessimistic prediction, I wouldn't give it much credence.
But Pre-Snap's Paul Myerberg does a very good job, and he and Paul Steele are two prognosticators who come closest to getting most things right, IMHO.
And this is not the first ranking that has FAU in the 100s, nor at 106. And it fits in with my feelings about this team, given what I saw this spring.
Can FAU really be that dreadful? Yes, they can.
Can they be better than expected? Yes, they can.
Can they finish at .500? Highly doubtful.
Remember, this is the Year of the Stadium. Expect the Owls to be competitive in 2012, not 2011.
As Myerberg points out, the stadium is the big news, but the other storyline of the season is the future of Howard Schnellenberger.
Is this his last year with the program?
Nothing new on the contract front, and that contract carries through this season. After that?
We'll have to wait and see how it unfolds.

N.C. man arrested on dogfighting charges in Bedford County
By Scott Leamon
Published: May 25, 2010
The Humane Society of the United States confirmed on Tuesday the arrest of a North Carolina man in Bedford County on a charge of dogfighting.
Online court records show Jeffrey Denny is charged with one misdemeanor count of animal fighting.
The Humane Society*s animal fighting campaign manager, John Goodwin, said Denny is one of only a handful of "transporters" in the illegal world of dogfighting.
Transporters are paid to bring female pit bulls to customers in order to breed for dogfighting purposes, Goodwin said.
Goodwin said authorities in Randolph County, N.C., raided Denny*s property at about the same time as his arrest in Bedford County.
The Humane Society*s brand new mobile crime lab assisted authorities in the investigation, Goodwin said. He said it was the first alleged animal abuse case in which the society has used the crime lab.

Update: Undercover Sting Leads to Dog Fighting Arrest
posted 7:01 pm Wed May 26, 2010 - Beford Co., VA
reporter: Jeremy Mills posted by: Amy Foster
from ABC 13 - Update: Undercover Sting Leads to Dog Fighting Arrest|ABC 13
Bedford County authorities say they've dealt a huge blow to a national dog fighting ring by locking up one of its top breeders.
The Bedford County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday that they arrested Jeffrey Denny, 36, of North Carolina in an undercover sting at the Exxon in Montvale Monday night.
Denny was there to sell a female pit bull and planned on driving to Charleston, West Virginia to sell another dog, authorities say.
He has been charged with two counts of transporting animals for the purpose of fighting.
Investigators say Denny has delivered dogs all over the country, and they believe he's responsible for hundreds of dog fighting deaths.
The good news is the two dogs taken from him are now in an animal shelter, saved from a life of violence.
Deputies say he has a reputation for breeding good fighting pit bulls.
"Mr. Denny is a nationally known and admitted dog fighter," Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown said. "He's acknowledged that he's sold hundreds of game-bred dogs throughout the United States."
Investigators seized Denny's mini-van, rigged to transport multiple dogs. These dogs were going for $900 apiece. The business of dog fighting is reported to be a multi-million dollar industry.
"And not too many of them put in 1099s to the IRS," Brown said with a laugh.
Two dogs confiscated by Bedford Co. authorities
The US Humane Society says they've had Denny at the top of their watch list for months.
"He's been a long-standing breeder of dogs that are for the purpose of fighting," US Humane Society Cruelty Investigator Chris Schindler said.
They're certain word of his arrest will get around.
"It's this effort that's going to send a ripple effect cross the country to other animal fighters that this crime is not going to be tolerated," Schindler said.
And they say the goal is to save the lives of dogs.
"Save possibly hundreds and hundreds of other dogs from being maimed and killed in the most gruesome way," Brown said.
Authorities in Randolph County, North Carolina also seized 16 pit bulls from Denny's home. They've charged him with 16 counts of dog fighting and 11 counts of cruelty to animals.

April 5th, 2012
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Dulce delicious! Set your palate for sweet because April 5 is National Caramel Day!
When you give sugar a tan, it rewards you with even more sweetness, and this may be the only time when nearly burning something makes it taste even better.
Slowly heating sugar to 340 degrees Fahrenheit will result in the yummy process that is known as caramelization. Exposing the sugar to this kind of heat breaks down the molecules and transforms them into a golden brown liquid state.
Slow down and step back in time by baking old-fashioned caramel cupcakes. They are a true "labor of love," and you even get to make your own caramel - but they're totally worth the effort.

The Citizen is set parallel to the events of the original Half-Life 2. The player takes the role of an ordinary man, pushed over the edge by the oppressive regime controlling his life. His home trashed, his family dead, The Citizen leaves his apartment for the last time. He seeks new friends, and a way to help the human resistance to smash the iron grip of the Combine. What follows is a winding tale of betrayal, determination and grief. Many obstacles lie in his path which require a sleek combination of agility, stealth, intelligence, and sheer violence to overcome
hey can you get the maps for gmod 10 i have a good idea what to do with them
hey can you get the maps for gmod 10 i have a good idea what to do with them
the citizen part 2? is the player still gonna have to find easter eggs? and have the h.e.v suit?
Yes there will be easter eggs! :D
But we are getting rid of the HEV suit ... in a cosmetic sense. The player still has to wear the suit to make the game fully playable, but we've disguised that fact for the sequel, so although you do wear the suit technically, it will appear more like you aren't wearing it.
Sorry, we don't have Gmod 10 and we don't plan to give the maps away to anyone at this time.
so good ~

Here we explain the whole penis SHOWERS VS. GROWERS phenomenon:
SHOWERS: a penis that is disproportionally big when flaccid relative to the final erect length.
GROWERS: a penis that is disproportionally small when flaccid relative to the final erect length.
Showers have caused young men a little angst over the years. One problem is they do not understand that most penis are close to the same length when erect. Thus, when they see a man (who happens to be a shower) with a bigger flaccid penis than them, they falsely assume his penis is much bigger than theirs when erect. In fact the range of penis size is small enough that that is unlikely. It is more likely they are a grower and will have a greater increase in length from flaccid to erect than the other man.
You should not judge a book by its cover.
Penile Length in the Flaccid and Erect States: Guidelines for Penile Augmentation. The Journal of Urology. Volume 156, Issue 3 , Pages 995-997, September 1996
We provide guidelines of penile length and circumference to assist in counseling patients considering penile augmentation.
We prospectively measured flaccid and erect penile dimensions in 80 physically normal men before and after pharmacological erection.
Mean flaccid length was 8.8 cm., stretched length 12.4 cm. and erect length 12.9 cm. Neither patient age nor size of the flaccid penis accurately predicted erectile length. Stretched length most closely correlated with erect length.
Only men with a flaccid length of less than 4 cm., or a stretched or erect length of less than 7.5 cm. should be considered candidates for penile lengthening.

Has golf god spotted the error?
1. A golfer swings at the golf ball and misses the ball completely. Does that stroke count?
2. A golfer stops their swing in the middle of the downswing. Does that stroke count?
3. Your club head comes off on the back swing and you complete your swing at the golf ball. Does that stroke count?
This situation was covered in decision 14/2. When a golfer completes a forward swing with just a shaft, no stroke is made because the shaft by itself is not a golf club. So no, the stroke does not count(but why in the world would you finish your swing without a club head? You will know the instant the club head comes off of a club and it is every easy to stop the swing at this point).
4. Your club head comes off on the downswing and you complete your swing and miss the ball. Does that stroke count?
5. Your club head comes off on the downswing and you stop your swing. Does this stroke count?
No it does not. You are considered to have checked your downswing voluntarily so the stroke does not count.
Bonus Question:
Your clubhead comes off on downswing and you stop your swing but the momentum of the club head causes it to fly into your golf ball and move it. Does this stroke count?
This situation is covered by decision 14/4. The stroke itself does not count, as you voluntarily stopped your swing. However, you will incur a 1 stroke penalty for your equipment causing the golf ball to move. You must also replace the golf ball to its original position.
Has golf god spotted the error?
Golf god is full of crap and could not spot a rules error if his life depended on it. Plus I think he is getting scared off from everyone calling him out. I have not seen him online in a few days.
So where is the mistake in the quiz this time?
Let us see if golf god says anything
He probably didn't respond because there isn't one.
Well, I usually only see him around during the weekdays. I think he has a job where he sits in front of a computer all day and gets bored and causes trouble online.
Pathetic! You think I can be fooled that easily? This quiz is so basic it is laughable. I am sure most junior golfers would know all of these answers, and maybe even some women "golfers".
Hey Golf God,
Would you stop ripping on defenseless women and children and tell us all how your logo relates to your golf game. Oh wait, it just relates to you being as dumb as a schlong shaped rock...
Keep your willy, willy dumb posts coming...they make me smile.
By the way...golf god, if you wanted to rip on poor waterboy's quiz, you would have noted that his grammar is grade-schoolish.
#3: What you will "no" what when your club falls off mid-swing?
Answer: That you're a bozo for not knowing the difference between "no" and "know".
I have know idea what your talking about. I no you can't possibly be calling my grammar poor.

Baptist Post on differences between Romney and Obama on equality
Timothy Kincaid
October 8th, 2012
The Baptist Post has identified what it considers to be substantial differences between the two candidates when it comes to equality. While I'm sure their audience has a different response to the article, I thank them for providing such a clear distinction.
When future historians write about the 21st-century debate over gay marriage, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama will be featured prominently.
Romney was governor of Massachusetts when the state's highest court issued its first-in-the-nation decision legalizing gay marriage, and he not only fought to have the ruling overturned but also supported an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage as between a man and a woman.
Obama voted against that federal marriage amendment as a U.S. senator, and once he was president he became the first sitting U.S. president to oppose the Defense of Marriage Act and also to endorse gay marriage.
While I very much doubt that Mitt Romney will garner more than a footnote in future historians' discussion about equality, the article does list a number of differences and is worth reading as a reminder of how the two candidates view your citizenship, your rights, and your humanity.
Dallas Baptist Pastor Blasts Congregation and Fellow Pastors for Opposing Marriage Equality
Jim Burroway
June 8th, 2012
Here's another reason why President Barack Obama's evolution on same-sex marriage matters. Rev. Frederick D. Haynes III of the Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas came to Obama's defense — and, in his way, to the defense of gay people as well:
…But whatever you like to ostracize other people it's because there's a fear that you have yourself, and the fear that you have finds itself rooted in an ignorance of other people. Or in a projection of your issues. Either there's ignorance or there is a projection of your issues…It really blows my mind how outraged you are. You are so outraged over what the President said. …
…Have you ever read the Gospel and heard Jesus say anything about homosexuality?…Black folk can't even deal with homosexuality because we got issues with sexuality. And because we got issues with sexuality we can't have a healthy discussion about homosexuality. Why, why do you get so upset?"
Now this is the sermon I've been waiting to hear
Timothy Kincaid
May 25th, 2012
Wake Forest University is a Baptist school. It was built by North Carolina baptist preachers to serve a baptist populace and is affiliated with the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Though primarily secular today, it's baptist heritage is no small part of its culture.
Which is why this article published by the Associated Baptist Press by Bill Leonard, the James and Marilyn Dunn Professor of Church History and Baptist Studies at the School of Divinity, Wake Forest University, makes this the baptist response that was desperately needed. That, and the fact that Leonard pulls no punches.
But tonight I am ashamed, because I heard a Baptist pastor say things so abhorrent to the gospel of Jesus that I could not keep conscience with my Baptist forebears and remain silent. In what appears to be a May 13 sermon, Charles Worley declared: "Build a great, big, large fence — 150 or 100 mile long — put all the lesbians in there," Then he continues: "Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out. Feed them, and you know what, in a few years, they'll die out. Do you know why? They can't reproduce!"
I've listened to those statements multiple times, each time hoping that I'm not hearing what I think I'm hearing. But I am.
That a person who serves a congregation calling itself Baptist would utilize such brutal words is not simply an affront to the men and women he wishes death upon, but to all who "name the name of Christ." So dastardly are those words and the sentiment behind them that those of us who value the Baptist tradition must demand repentance of this fallen Christian brother.
Amen! Preach it!
SBC Leader denounces death camp pastor
Timothy Kincaid
May 24th, 2012
From the website of Dr. Warren Throckmorton:
I asked Bob Stith, National Strategist for Gender Issues at the Southern Baptist Convention, for his reaction and he said Worley's words were "a vile outburst" and said,
I think it is important to say in the strongest terms how disgusting and unchristian his comments are.
He added that the church is not in the Southern Baptist Convention.
I want to commend Stith on his response. I wish it were heard more broadly.
The complicity of silence
Timothy Kincaid
May 22nd, 2012
It isn't reasonable to hold one pastor responsible for what another one preaches. There is a great deal of diversity of thought and theology within Christendom and there is no presumption that what is said from the pulpit at First Baptist Church in any way mirrors the beliefs of All Saints Episcopal Church. We don't hold one church accountable.
But sometimes something so outlandish is said in the name of faith that it requires a denunciation. A rejection. A refutation.
And the words of North Carolina pastor Charles Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church calling for placing gays and lesbians behind electric fences is beyond the pale. This is not a casual suggestion, this is not a theological position, this is not a difference of perspective, this is not an idea with which we are unfamiliar and about which reasonable people could differ. This is advocacy for evil.
So now we will see whether The Church responds.
Certainly there will be those who are asked and who will, naturally, say that they do not support such a notion. But will they be willing to call such a sermon evil or ungodly? Will they be willing to publicly refute Worley and chastise him? Are they brave enough to declare that such a proposition is anti-Christ and that it reflects a heart that is not right with God? Will whatever Baptist organization with which he is affiliated pull his license?
These are not just reasonable responses, they are required responses. When a sermon calls for an act that is of such a level of evil, godly persons cannot stand by and claim that they have no responsibility.
To say nothing is to condone Worley's position. So be silent is to be complicit.
Church, take notice. It is your response by which today's youth will judge you. If you say nothing, those who are unchurched will assume that Worley speaks for you.
It is a reasonable assumption.
The Baptist position on marriage
Timothy Kincaid
March 20th, 2012
For the non-religious, this commentary may be meaningless. But those schooled in the minutia of denominational affiliation know that one of the pride points of being a Baptist is (or until recently has been) congregational independence.
Which makes Jimmy Carter's position on civil marriage far more Baptist than that of the increasingly autocratic Southern Baptist Convention:
I personally think it is very fine for gay people to be married in civil ceremonies.
I draw the line, maybe arbitrarily, in requiring by law that churches must marry people. I'm a Baptist, and I believe that each congregation is autonomous and can govern its own affairs. So if a local Baptist church wants to accept gay members on an equal basis, which my church does by the way, then that is fine. If a church decides not to, then government laws shouldn't require them to.
Pullen Baptist bans marriages
Timothy Kincaid
November 21st, 2011
The little old men and women of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC, have taken a position on same-sex marriage. By unanimous vote, they prohibited their pastor from conducting weddings.
All weddings, gay or straight. Or, at least until the state changes its laws. (newsobserver)
The congregants said in a formal statement that current North Carolina law – and the language proposed for a vote next year on an amendment to the state Constitution – discriminates against same-sex couples "by denying them the rights and privileges enjoyed by heterosexual married couples."
"As people of faith, affirming the Christian teaching that before God all people are equal, we will no longer participate in this discrimination," the church's statement says.
They will continue to observe holy unions – mixed or same-sex – at this traditionally progressive church. But if you want the government's stamp of approval on your marriage, you'll have to get it elsewhere. Because Pullen Memorial isn't in the discrimination business.
Peter Gomes: a powerful voice for gay Christians passes
Timothy Kincaid
March 1st, 2011
As minister of Memorial Church of Harvard University since 1970, Peter Gomes held a pulpit of prestige. An international preacher, Gomes was highly respected and his influence ranged from discussing theology with the Queen Mum to offering prayers and sermons at the inaugurals of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. Every Harvard alumnus for the past 40 years has started and ended their education with his advice.
But for me, Gomes will be remembered as the author of The Good Book: Reading the Bible with Mind and Heart, a book which allowed me to look at some of my presumptions and question my own interaction with faith. The premise of this work, which really isn't all that surprising, is that few Christians have much working knowledge of the Bible, know how to read it, or feel confident to understand what it says. Instead they opt for a deification of the image of the Bible rather than attempting to apply the truths found in its contents.
And it was demystifying the Bible and shaking up Christianity's comfortable assumptions that consumed the past few decades of his life. Although a life-long Republican of the Massachusetts variety (until a recent registration change to support Deval Patrick), he viewed Jesus as a social revolutionary whose gospel would not be much welcomed in today's established Christianity and deplored the way in which Scriptural literalism could be text proofed to support just about any social injustice.
In 1991 Gomes came out as gay, (NY Times)
Then, in 1991, he appeared before an angry crowd of students, faculty members and administrators protesting homophobic articles in a conservative campus magazine whose distribution had led to a spate of harassment and slurs against gay men and lesbians on campus. Mr. Gomes, putting his reputation and career on the line, announced that he was "a Christian who happens as well to be gay."
When the cheers faded, there were expressions of surprise from the Establishment, and a few calls for his resignation, which were ignored. The announcement changed little in Mr. Gomes's private life; he had never married and said he was celibate by choice. But it was a turning point for him professionally.
"I now have an unambiguous vocation — a mission — to address the religious causes and roots of homophobia," he told The Washington Post months later. "I will devote the rest of my life to addressing the 'religious case' against gays."
Gomes was not hesitant to tie the 'religious objection to homosexuality' as preached in American Christianity to the actual mistreatment of homosexual persons as experienced in America. (The Good Book)
Although most contemporary Christians who have moral reservations about homosexuality, and who find affirmation for those reservations in the Bible, do not resort to physical violence and intimidation, they nevertheless contribute to the maintenance of a cultural environment in which less scrupulous opponents of homosexuality are given the sanction of the Bible to feed their prejudice and, in certain cases, cultural "permission" to act with violence upon those prejudices.
As an American Baptist preacher from a very young age, Gomes took the Bible seriously. He took his religion seriously. And it was through his faith, not in spite of it, that he spoke out for tolerance, for understanding, for inclusion, for treating your neighbor like yourself even when you really truly don't want to, and for adhering to a meaningful thoughtful Christianity rather than a superstitious set of rites, rules and prejudices.
The religious community and the gay community have both lost a guiding light and a powerful advocate.
Southern Baptist concession: churches can also belong to groups which include gay-supportive churches
Timothy Kincaid
February 25th, 2011
We finally have an answer at to the extent to which Southern Baptists can coexist with gay folk. And yes, it does include several degrees of separation.
Southern Baptist Convention churches cannot "affirm, approve, endorse, promote, support or bless homosexual behavior".
A Southern Baptist church cannot have a single gay member.
A Southern Baptist church cannot refuse to take a position on homosexuality. They must actively exclude gay people from the life of the church or they will be kicked out.
A Southern Baptist organization cannot include a single church that fails to actively oppose homosexuality and exclude gay-supportive members. Failure to expel that church will get them evicted from an SBC school campus even if every other member church is ragingly homophobic.
But there is finally, finally, a limit to their anti-gay positioning. You can be a Southern Baptist church that belongs to an organization that is not ragingly homophobic, provided that you are sufficiently anti-gay. (Christian Post)
The Alliance of Baptists affirms gay marriage and permits members of any sexuality.
But the Executive Committee members decided against banning all churches that are members of the Alliance from also being members of the SBC, according to the Associated Baptist Press. Instead, it decided that each church's qualification should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Of course, that wildly liberal position might not make it past a vote of the convention. It sounds an awful lot like compromise with sin, you see.
There's still no word as to whether Southern Baptists are allowed to speak to their gay postman, accept change back from their gay grocery clerk, or avoid kicking the dog of their gay neighbors. But I am pretty sure that their gay kids are not to be welcomed at Thanksgiving.
Dispute in Baptistland
Timothy Kincaid
January 25th, 2011
Earlier this month we reported that the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary had booted the Tarrant Baptist Association from their space on campus due to the Association fellowshipping with Broadway Baptist Church, a congregation that does not reject gay worshipers. Now it seems that the Seminary didn't exactly have that right; the Association holds deed to the property on which they reside. (Baptist Standard)
In 1982, the seminary provided Tarrant Baptist Association land and the funds to build its office building, granting a 99-year lease on the property, Meredith explained. At that time, the seminary and association entered into an affiliation agreement stipulating the property would not be used for commercial activity, and the association and seminary would commit to remaining in theological harmony, he said.
In 1997, the property agreement was renegotiated, and Tarrant Baptist Association received the deed to the property, he said. "The affiliation agreement remained intact," Meredith added.
Further, it seems that the affiliation agreement has provisions for resolving dispute and the Seminary does not have unilateral determination. A three person panel is supposed to be assembled to mediate a resolution.
But, apparently believing that "but, but, but Teh Ghey!!" trumps all, the Seminary is insisting that the Association give them back the property and go away with their heads hung low in shame. The Association is taking a different position.
Tarrant Baptist Association's executive board subsequently met a few days later and unanimously approved a motion asking the seminary either to purchase the property from the association at fair market value or submit the matter to a three-person arbitration panel.
It will be interesting to see how this is resolved.
Southern Baptists kick out group that tolerates Broadway Baptist
Timothy Kincaid
January 15th, 2011
Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, takes a bit of a don't ask, don't tell approach to its gay members. The church avoids taking theological positions on homosexuality – saying that they neither condemn nor condone it – and gay members are fairly open.
But the Southern Baptist Convention has no room for anyone who does not actively condemn gay people and seek to make their lives miserable. To be a Southern Baptist Church in good standing, it is not adequate to delegate such matters to individual conscience. Rather, opposition to homosexuality must take on the importance given to matters of faith such as the divinity of Christ, the virgin birth, and redemption from sin.
So in 2009 Broadway Baptist Church was booted from the General Baptist Convention of Texas,
the a statewide affiliation of the Southern Baptist Convention. Baptist organization.
But it seems that the SBC is a lot like a sixth-grade girl who is seeking to control who is popular and who is not. Not only have they banished Broadway Baptist from the 'cool kids' clique, but they will kick out anyone who dares be their friend.
And the Tarrant Baptist Association, the Tarrant County group of Southern Baptists, dared to be friendly with Broadway Baptist. In fact, they allowed them to be part of the 395 churches that worked together in the county to provide support, outreach, and growth. How dare they?
So the Tarrant Baptist Association, in turn, was kicked off the campus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I'm not kidding. The official county association of Southern Baptist Churches was booted from their office in the Southern Baptist seminary because they didn't ostracize one church who wasn't adequately anti-gay. (Christian Post)
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has asked an association of churches to leave its Fort Worth, Texas, campus because the seminary says the group has a member church or churches that tolerate homosexuality.
A 1997 affiliation agreement between Tarrant Baptist Association and the seminary for use of an office building on the campus requires that the two organizations remain in "theological harmony."
The seminary, which is associated with the Southern Baptist Convention, contends that the association has violated the agreement for retaining fellowship with a church or churches that don't adhere to the denomination's position that homosexuality is a sin.
From time to time some prominent Southern Baptist leader will rhetorically ponder, "Why do the homosexuals think we hate them? We don't hate them, we love them and want them to live according to God's Plan for their lives."
Stop pondering.
Here is why we think you hate us. Because if one congregation is willing to let gay people even sit in the congregation, you kick them out of fellowship. Because if one collective of churches dares let such a congregation participate in ministry, you kick them out of fellowship.
We think you hate us because if you demonstrate rejection to a group whose only crime is to allow a member church whose only crime is allowing gay individuals to worship, then we KNOW that your animus, your contempt, your derision, and your rejection of gay individuals is of a level that if it is not truly hate then it is impossible to distinguish from it.
SC Baptists confirmed their opposition to your immoral behavior and deviant lifestyle
Timothy Kincaid
November 18th, 2010
Just in case you were wondering, the Southern Baptists in South Carolina want to make it perfectly clear that they ain't like those homo-lovin' Lutherans. In their state convention they voted on a resolution to remind us – in case we forgot or were confused – that they don't like Teh Ghey so much. (Greenville online)
The resolution on "homosexuality and religious liberty" noted the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religious expression, "including speech pertaining to social and religious values." It said Christians "must also use our freedoms to defend traditional marriage, protect the sanctity of human life, and combat the propagation of immoral behavior and deviant lifestyles."
And they aren't in confusion about what message they are sending.
"Southern Baptists and other evangelical Christians have been portrayed by the media as intolerant or dangerous because of our commitment to Christ and our belief in biblical precepts," it said.
Yep. I'd say that pretty much covers it. Intolerant and actively endangering the lives of children who grow up hearing them spew their bile.
More, more, more amicus
Timothy Kincaid
September 24th, 2010
Three more amicus briefs were filed today in addition to those of Ed Whelan and Liberty Counsel.
The American Center for Law and Justice (Jay Sekulow) wrote:
The Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558(2003), did not abolish the legitimacy of morality as a state interest. Indeed, to have done so would have been both revolutionary and destructive, as morality has long been recognized as a basis for law, and countless laws today rest upon morality. The district court therefore erred in dismissing moral considerations out of hand.
Something called The Hausvater Project, which appears to be related to the parochial schools of the conservative Lutheran Church Missouri Synod filed to support "the right of parents to determine their children's education". This one flummoxed me; I have no idea what they are talking about.
Parents have a fundamental right to determine their children's education, protected under the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process clause. California citizens voting in favor of Prop. 8 ("Prop. 8 Supporters") had, and on their behalf the defendant-intervenors-appellants ("Prop. 8 Proponents") in this case continue to have, good reason to regard Prop. 8 as a safeguard of that fundamental constitutional right. Since the safeguarding of a constitutional right properly serves the state's interest, the district court erred in concluding that Prop. 8 serves no legitimate or compelling state interest. Moreover, parents' fundamental right to determine their children's education should take priority over the competing claims of plaintiffs-appellees Kristin Perry et al./same-sex couples ("Prop. 8 Opponents") who plea for Equal Protection and Due Process rights to same-sex marriage.
It seems that they are arguing that because the Proposition 8 campaign played on the fears of parents ("I learned in class that a prince could marry another prince, and I can marry a princess!") that therefore it is based in the constitutional right of parents to make sure that public schools condemn the things which they condemn. Or something like that.
Which is an odd argument coming from an organization of parochial schools.
The second part of their argument was that allowing gay people to marry would have a "chilling impact" on the religious freedoms of those who want to stop them. If governments actually treat gay people as full citizens and if schools refer to them as such, then it greatly reduces the impact of those who preach from pulpits that they are not.
Far from furthering a state interest, such religious organizations would be in opposition to a state interest, at least insofar as one accepts the district court's own identifications of the state's interest and the religious groups' motivations. This is not small potatoes.
And if Judge Walker's decision is left intact it would lead to "nothing short of the abolition of parochial schools and homeschooling." And then they really go bat-poop crazy. It's all a plan on the part of the homosexuals to destroy family and society; first they redefine marriage and then they'll take away our children.
A tremendous burden falls now to this court as to whether those asserting the freedom to chose a spouse of the same sex can secure that socially constructed status apart from denying, with increasing tenacity, the fundamental right of a man and a woman to direct the education of the children whom nature calls their own. The social engineers of incremental strategies favoring same-sex marriage have themselves answered the question in the negative. Whatever disappointment a reversal of the district court's decision may bring to the particular homosexual couples who originated the complaint, at least they will be liberated from serving as pawns in a larger scheme that ultimately would constrain not only their neighbors' liberties, but also their own.
And finally we have the amicus brief of
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
The California Catholic Conference
The National Association of Evangelicals
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons)
The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
The Calvary Chapel Fellowship of Ministries of California
The Christian and Missionary Alliance
Coral Ridge Ministries Media, Inc.
The Council of Korean Churches in Southern California
Southern California Korean Ministers Association
Holy Movement for America
Believe me, other than all being in the broad category of "Christian" and being devoted to the condemnation of gay people and bringing harm to their lives, these folks have nothing in common. It takes a powerful amount of joint purpose, in this case their religious-based animus towards gay people, to get them in the same room.
And I do find it interesting just who is not present in this joint statement. This, more than most any other document, draws the line between combatants over the religious direction of the nation.
We write separately to answer the district court's distortion and condemnation of our beliefs as irrational and illegitimate and to defend the constitutional right of citizens and associations of faith to participate fully in the democratic process. Contrary to the aspersions cast by the decision below, our beliefs about marriage are not based on hatred or bigotry. Our support for traditional marriage has vastly more to do with a rich tapestry of affirmative teachings about marriage and family than with doctrines directed at the issue of homosexuality. To be sure, our religious beliefs hold that all sexual acts outside traditional marriage are contrary to God's will. But our faiths also entreat us to love and embrace those who reject our beliefs, not to hate or mistreat them. Bigotry is contrary to our most basic religious convictions.
A bit ironic when you consider that the purpose of this brief is not to love and embrace those who reject their beliefs, but rather to force by law those beliefs which they cannot persuade through preaching.
Faith communities and religious organizations have a long and vibrant history of upholding marriage as the union of a man and a woman for reasons that have little or nothing to do with homosexuality. Indeed, their support for traditional marriage precedes by centuries the very notion of homosexuality as a recognized sexual orientation (see ER106), not to mention the recent movement for same-sex marriage. Many of this nation's prominent faith traditions have rich religious narratives that describe and extol the personal, familial, and social virtues of traditional marriage while mentioning homosexuality barely, if at all.
Except, of course, that every single denomination listed decries homosexuality as sinful, rebellious, or evil. Without exception.
The gist of their argument is that it is unfair of Judge Walker to take a side in the religious culture war, that they have the right to try and vote their religious beliefs into law, and besides they loooooove the homosexual, they just want to grant special privilege to those who follow their beliefs.
Heterosexual Menace: Church-Sanctioned Rape, Humiliation and Exile
Jim Burroway
June 1st, 2010
In 1997, a teenage girl was raped and impregnated by a fellow churchgoer at Trinity Baptist Church in Concord, New Hampshire. When she complained to her pastor, Chuck Phelps, he reported the rape to state youth officials, but police were never able to find the victim. That's because was shipped of to another church member's home in Colorado, where she was home-schooled and not allowed to have contact with others her age. And all the while, she was told it was her fault she was raped:
The victim said Phelps told her she would be put up for "church discipline," where parishioners go before the congregation to apologize for their sins. She asked why. "Pastor Phelps then said that (Willis) may have been 99 percent responsible, but I needed to confess my 1 percent guilt in the situation," the victim told the police.
"He told me that I should be happy that I didn't live in Old Testament times because I would have been stoned."
Fran Earle, the church's former clerk, witnessed the punishment session. At a night meeting of the church's fellowship in 1997, Phelps invited Willis to the front of the room. Willis apologized to the group for not being faithful to his wife, Earle said.
"I can remember saying to my husband, I don't understand it's any of our business why this is being brought up," Earle said. Phelps then told parishioners a second matter was at hand; he invited the victim to apologize for getting pregnant.
"I can still see the little girl standing up there with this smile on her face trying to get through this," Earle said.
Texas Baptists kick out church that isn't anti-gay enough
Timothy Kincaid
May 25th, 2010
Jesus hates you, this I know,
for my preacher tells me so.
And if some church should start to doubt,
we'll just friggin' kick them out!
Back in March we told you about Royal Lane Baptist Church in North Dallas who dared (the gall of them) to describe themselves as "a vibrant mosaic of varied racial identities, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and denominational backgrounds."
Well the board at the Baptist General Convention of Texas nearly choked on their Krispy Kremes. Because if there is one thing that a Texas Baptist fears, it's being thought of as tolerant, open minded, or willing to let others come to a differing interpretation of Scripture.
So when they heard that Royal Lane had actually ordained a gay deacon, they polished up their kicking boot. (Dallas Morning News)
The state's largest Baptist group officially broke ties today with Royal Lane Baptist Church in North Dallas, citing the church's acceptance of openly gay deacons.
By an overwhelming margin, the executive board of the Baptist General Convention of Texas voted not to accept funds from Royal Lane. The same resolution asked the church to stop indicating in publications that it is a BGCT affiliate.
Randel Everett, executive director of the BGCT, called the decision "painful" but not difficult.
Of course it might be a bit more difficult for those who it actually impacts.
Doug Washington, a Royal Lane deacon and BGCT executive board member, spoke against the resolution. He said the church has two gay deacons, and he praised them as outstanding leaders.
"To say something is wrong with them is to say God made a mistake," Washington said. "I can't buy into that."
The BGCT requires that executive board members and employees be part of a church in good standing with the denomination. Washington said he would be resigning from the board.
Two Royal Lane members are BGCT employees, and Everett said they would have to find another church if they want to keep their jobs.
It is hard to imagine anyone less Christ-like than Randel Everett. I think Royal Lane Baptist Church should be proud to no longer be affiliated with the likes of him.
Yes, Jesus hates you,
Yes, Jesus hates you.
Yes, Jesus hates you,
my preacher tells me so.

Thursday February 14, 2013
ATLANTA (AP) -- K.J. McDaniels scored 14 points and Milton Jennings blocked a potentially tying 3-pointer at the buzzer, preserving Clemson's 56-53 victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday night.
The Tigers (13-11, 5-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended their domination of the Yellow Jackets (13-10, 3-8), sweeping the season series and winning their seventh in a row overall.
Georgia Tech rallied from a 12-point deficit in the second half and had a couple of chances to force overtime. Chris Bolden missed badly on a drive with about 10 seconds to go, but the Yellow Jackets got another chance after Jennings made only 1 of 2 free throws. Mfon Udofia took off down the court, looking to get off a 3, and he appeared to have an open look when Daniel Miller delivered a pick to free up his teammate.
But Jennings came up from behind to strip it away, and the Tigers celebrated.

As the 2GHz Broadcast Auxiliary Service relocation effort approaches completion, 28 designated market areas (DMAs) were not expected to meet the Feb. 8 deadline and should be given relocation deadlines on a market-specific basis, according to a joint request filed Feb. 1 with the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology.
The filing from Sprint Nextel, the Association for Maximum Service Television (MSTV), NAB and the Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) modifies a joint request made Dec. 31, 2009, in which the parties told the commission that nine DMAs would need until Aug. 9 to complete the relocation. Other DMAs also would require an extension, but were expected to complete the project before Aug. 9, the filing said.
Since the December filing, the project has proceeded, and 14 of 42 DMAs not expected to wrap up by the deadline have completed the transition. Fifteen of the remaining DMAs are expected to complete the transition by the end of March; four are expected to wrap up in April; seven in June; and only two will require until Aug. 9 to complete the transition to the new 2GHz BAS assignments.
The filing also pointed out that in the 28 DMAs yet to finish the project, nearly two-thirds of the stations in those markets are ready to relocate as soon as other stations in the market or adjacent markets make the switch.
An appendix to the filing identified DMAs and expected completion dates:
• February: St. Louis; Minot-Bismarck-Dickinson, ND; Missoula, MT.
• March: Columbus, OH; Buffalo, NY; Lexington, KY; Dayton, OH; Des Moines-Ames, IA; Honolulu, HI; Cedar Rapids-Waterloo-Iowa City-Dubuque, IA; Tri-Cities, TN-VA; Evansville, IN; Ft. Wayne, IN; Sioux City, IA; Butte-Bozeman, MT.
• April: Indianapolis, IN; Lafayette, IN; Davenport, IA – Rock Island-Moline, IL; Wausau-Rhinelander, WI.
• June: Portland, OR; Eugene, OR; Medford-Klamath Falls, OR; Bend OR; Spokane, WA; Yakima-Pasco-Richland-Kennewick, WA; Rochester, MN-Mason City, IA-Austin, MN.
• July: Albuquerque-Santa Fe, NM; Anchorage, AK.

Did you find this review helpful?
Blew for no reason
This review is from: Sony PS Vita In-ear Headset
Pros: - They have a pretty decent sound. Great for gaming
Cons: - Right speaker blew after one month
Other Thoughts: I was pretty excited to try these when I first bought them as I had heard they had great quality. I enjoyed the sound although I was not overly impressed, they are a great headphone for the price as long as they don't blow out on you. Mine blew out after plugging them into my laptop and clicking play on a video of only dialog that was playing at a low volume. I have no clue why they blew. I don't think I will be buying these again.

This past Saturday, Rocklin volunteers were given the opportunity to give back to their community and help beautify their city.
The city of Rocklin held its fifth annual Community Service Day with several maintenance projects, including tree planting at Whitney and Breen Parks, acorn and trash collecting at Johnson Springview Park and restoration works at the Sunset West open space area. Volunteers also marked storm drain locations around town and marked trails at Lonetree Park. About 150 volunteers came out to help.
"We do different projects in the parks and the open spaces throughout the city and give Rocklin citizens an opportunity to give back and do community service in their city," said Dara Dungworth, associate planner with the city. "We kind of keep a wish list going throughout the year, depending on what kind of maintenance projects city crews can't get to during the work hours with all the layoffs, furloughs and budget constraints. It's really, really helpful to have several hundred Rocklin citizens come out and help us."
Diana Ruslin, Rocklin City Council member, said she looks forward to volunteering around town every year.
"This is a great way for the community to really have opportunities at our parks and to help us keep them up to the standards everyone loves," she said, adding, "I love this day, I've been doing it for many years. This is a project that's very important to our city."
This year the city had help from local organizations and businesses in addition to citizen volunteers. The Dry Creek Conservancy nonprofit worked with the city on the Sunset West open space restoration project, removing invasive plants and planting willow trees and other native plant species. UNFI and Recology Auburn Placer made monetary donations to the Dry Creek Conservancy to help fund the project, as well as donating food and water for volunteers.
"We had a lot of great community participation from businesses and organizations," Dungworth said.
The Kososki family of Rocklin volunteered their time together at Johnson Springview Park collecting acorns.
"We learned about oak trees, and how they recycle the acorns and plant them back in the community," said mom Mary Kososki. "It was a great experience for (our kids). I think they learned a lot, too."
"I think it's good to give back to the community you live in," she added. "I think it's great for them to see. We can all set an example of how to make our community better and cleaner."
