Seattle restaurateur and Caffe Vita coffee-chain owner Mike McConnell now faces a May trial date after pleading not guilty to DUI, hit and run, and assault involving that bumper-to-bumper car accident on Broadway, although he's sure to lose his license for six months after refusing a breath alcohol test. The other driver told police McConnell tried to shake him down for $1,500 to forget the incident, then punched him in the chest when he refused.
Made "poor choices" McConnell says
It wasn't exactly a headline shaker but the March 31 crash made the blogs, including SW's Voracious, which couldn't reach McConnell, 42, for his version. The owner of Via Tribunali and co-sponsor of a campaign fundraiser last fall for the mayor and city attorney has been mum since, but wanted to talk to me this week. I've known him since he was a teen and he's a friend of my son Erin. "Sounds like you screwed up," I told him. Here's what he, and his attorney, told me:McConnell hit the other, older car stopped for a light around 6 p.m., but there was zero damage to both cars. The attorney (McConnell's corporate attorney, who'd dined with McConnell and was following behind him enroute to one of their businesses), stopped and became a witness as well. The other driver, on his way to work at a pizza parlor, smelled the "couple of beers" McConnell says he'd just drank and told McConnell - who was driving a newer Mercedes - he'd forget the incident for $1,500. He offered to go to a cash machine with McConnell and the attorney at that moment. McConnell refused. He did not punch or assault the other driver, he says. He legally parked his car at the scene and walked away - a mistake, he admits. Police tracked the car which is registered to his coffee business, where they learned McConnell was at one of his eateries, and arrested him. At the East Precinct, he refused a Datamaster breath test, was booked, and later bailed out.
His version is contrary to the other driver's. A Municipal Court judge will decide which is the more accurate. A pre-trial hearing is set for May 3.
McConnell says he regrets what happened, but says he was disappointed to read some of the anonymous blog comments about him. One reporter also called the state liquor board and ask what might happen to McConnell's commercial liquor licenses if he's convicted of DUI. (A spokesperson indicated revocation was possible).
"I've got 20 licenses for my places," McConnell says, and losing them could affect the jobs of some of his 250 employees. "I made some poor choices," he says, "but I don't think I deserved to get crucified for that."

At one point, George Clooney was among those rumored to play the titular role in Disney's big screen adaptation of The Lone Ranger. Since then, we haven't heard much about the project. In fact, producer Jerry Bruckheimer went as far as saying that they weren't going to worry about it until they got a director. That was in 2008. They can now begin the search for a Ranger, as Gore Verbinski has been confirmed as director. Johnny Depp will still play Tonto, the film will likely hit theaters in 2012. The rest is to be determined. One thing we do know: Verbinski is definitely trying to give Tim Burton a run for his money in the "who can work with Johnny Depp the most this decade" competition.

The Year Without Summer by William Klingamen
June 27, 2013

The Heroines by Eileen Favorite

Berlin Diary by William L. Shirer
June 13, 2013
William Shirer opened the foreword to his published diary as follows: "Most diaries…are written with no thought of publication… They are personal, intimate, confidential, a part of oneself that is better hidden from the crass outside world. This journal makes no pretense to being of that kind."

In which Myopia is one of a kind. Nearsightedness, or myopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which close objects are seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. Nearsightedness occurs if the eyeball is too long or the cornea, the clear front cover of the eye, has too much curvature. As a result, the light entering the eye isn't focused correctly and distant objects look blurred.

YouView, the internet TV consortium, is being challenged over the right to use the YouView brand after telecoms provider Total Limited and Market Harbour Building Society lodged official complaints.
Earlier this month Media Week revealed the Cheltenham-based telecoms provider Total Limited, which has an online billing platform called YouView, had signified its intension to lodge a formal complaint with the Intellectual Property Office.
Market Harbour Building Society has an online system called You-View, which allows its customers to apply for new mortgages and savings accounts as well as manage existing accounts.
YouView, previously known as Project Canvas, was incorporated as a company in September as a joint venture between the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel Five, BT, Talk Talk and Arqiva to provide the next generation Freeview platform.
Total filed a formal notice of opposition with the Intellectual Property Office last Thursday (21 October) and Market Harborough Building Society filed a formal notice of opposition on Friday (22 October).
The trademark dispute comes a week after broadcasting regulator Ofcom said it was too early to investigate YouView, despite submissions from concerned parties such as Virgin Media, BSkyB and advertisers' trade body ISBA.
However, Ed Richards, Ofcom's chief executive, did not rule out an investigation at a later date.
Richards said: "It would be premature at the current stage of YouView's development given the absence of a clear risk of consumer harm.
"But if evidence does emerge in the future that YouView causes harm to the interests of viewers and consumers we may reconsider whether to investigate."
The IPO has requested an amended statement of case from both parties which must be submitted by 16 November 2010, after which YouView will have two months to file a defence.
A spokesman for YouView said: "We took legal advice before registering the YouView trademark and are confident that the proposition and name are distinctive in the market."
A spokesman for the IPO confirmed Google had not challenged the YouView brand, despite speculation that it would do on account of its similarities to the name of Google-owned video platform YouTube.
Total had not responded to requests for comment by the time of publication and Market Harbour Building Society was unavailable for comment.

Aside from Incredible Hulk costumes, a new Halloween trend seems to be forming.
For two consecutive years, mischief and mayhem in the Cherry Road neighborhood has been minimal, according to Geddes Police Chief Vic Gillette.
As Claire Hicks' Halloween tradition has grown in popularity over the last 27 years, vandalism and crime was on the rise in the area around Cherry Road School in Westvale, Gillette said. Over the last decade or so, "traditional" Halloween pranks have gotten out of hand.
Gillette recalled being personally hit in the back with eggs, encountering young teens resisting the police and having to call in Air One a couple of years ago in an attempt to break up a mob of teens at the school.
But this year, a new trend may be showing itself.
Gillete said Trooper Joseph Calloia, school resource officer at Westhill schools, was present last year and the department saw a significantly quieter Halloween. He was not sure whether it could be attributed to the trooper's presence or not.
This year, the unseasonably warm weather and Halloween falling on a Friday set the stage for things to get out of hand, Gillette said. But he and the department were pleasantly surprised.
I rode with Gillette while he patrolled the streets surrounding Cherry Road School during "prime time," from 6:30 to 9 p.m. On Halloween, he said, six cars were assigned to patrol the area, while only one car patrolled Lakeland. On an average night, one patrol car is dedicated to each area.
But while the sky grew darker and the crowd of younger trick-or-treaters began to thin, the typical mischief was slow to start. A few small groups of teens dotted throughout the neighborhood were soon covered in shaving cream, but little else was left as evidence of past Halloween chaos.

Path to Racial Unity Divides; McCain, Obama Differ on Method
Byline: Sean Lengell, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama, while agreeing that quotas and government assistance alone won't solve lingering racial inequities in the country, would take far different paths to combat race-based discrimination if elected president.
The two major presidential candidates largely have downplayed the issue of race relations while on the campaign trail - a scenario all the more peculiar because Mr. Obama is the first black man to secure a major-party nomination for the White House.
But unlike past decades, when race-related issues such voting rights and school desegregation dominated elections, race is a far more subtle debate today - ingrained instead in broader issues such as health care, subprime mortgages and the criminal justice system.
The biggest racial issues are inequities in public services, said Lorenzo Morris, chairman of political science at Washington's Howard University. Civil rights issues and race-specific issues come in, but I think they are a little bit down the line. [Public service inequities] are more salient now.
Improving access to quality health care is the biggest issue facing minorities, Mr. Morris said.
A comparison of the candidates' health care platforms shows a stark difference.
Mr. Obama has proposed to expand health care access to Americans without medical insurance. His plan calls for expanding government provided health care programs such as the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP, and Medicaid. Mr. McCain, rather, is pushing for more individually provided health insurance and generally is against more government participation and regulation.
An assessment by health care economists published last month in the journal Health Affairs estimated that Mr. McCain's plan would lead 20 million people to lose their employer-sponsored insurance. But it also found that 21 million people would gain coverage through the individual market.
The candidates' positions on fighting crime and criminal justice also takes on racial undertones.
Mr. Obama has criticized the disparity in the sentencing guidelines between offenses related to crack and those tied to powder-based cocaine as an example of institutional racism. Crack offenders, who tend to be black, get harsher sentences for the same amount of the drug than do powder offenders, who more often are white.
He also has called for an expanded use of drug courts that would offer first-time, nonviolent offenders a chance to serve their sentences, when appropriate, in drug rehabilitation programs.
Mr. McCain has supported the Second Chance Act, which funds programs - many of them religion-based - that provide job training, counseling and mentoring for prisoners released from incarceration.
But the senator from Arizona generally has taken a traditional, conservative approach to reduce crime, pushing for tougher punishments for sex offenders and repeat felons who commit crimes with firearms.
Both candidates supported an immigration measure that called for a path to citizenship for the country's estimated 12 million illegal immigrants, who hail mostly from Mexico and Central America. The bill died in the Senate last year.
Mr. McCain since has said he cannot support citizenship for illegal immigrants until the American public is convinced that the border is secure. In the meantime, he says, the government must focus on enforcing existing immigration laws.
Mr. Obama also has listed several civil rights issues that he would tackle if elected president, including employment inequities among minorities and a ban on racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies.
We shouldn't ignore that race continues to matter, Mr. Obama wrote on a questionnaire given to presidential candidates by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). …

Megan Fox told what a bad girl she is on the recent Late Night Show. Her multiple tattoos and her difficult teenager years just underline this image. Her idol is Marilyn Monroe and if that blonde bombshell was an absolute perfection at her time, Megan Fox is a dream girl of today and an object of every man's fantasy around the world. She is all natural, has pretty face, a pair of perky boobs which are just the right size to hold in palm of the hand, thin waist and her butt is just great.

Hey everyone!
I found an english walkthrough and all...it's a nice walkthrough! But when i reached the point where it says about the starters and they are the sinnoh ones! I had to choose between the first starters (charmander, bulbasaur and squirtle).
Aaaaaand now I wonder. Is mine or his version the newest one?
NEVERMIND! I got it
I prefer the legedaries of the main version although I like charizard too....
so I'm gonna switch now that I'm early in the game!

20D Flash or Shutter Problem

20D Flash or Shutter Problem
So I'm shooting your typical Christmas and post-holiday pictures with my 20D and the external Speedlite. Set to P mode.
All is well, except on one shot the shutter seems to "stick", that is, there is half a click, a sticking feeling, then half another click. Then the next shots are OK, and it happens all over again.
Those shots where the shutter "stuck" turned out as if the flash fired out of synch.
I took some more pictures tonight, and it did it again with a different lens. Almost feels like the shutter reverted to a real slow speed.
Never any problems with the camera without the flash on, and, based upon my inexperience here, you can tell that there is not a whole lot of mileage on the shutter itself.
Any thoughts?

quote RomeAn explanation can be proper without you understanding it. Indeed you seem to be the only person still having trouble with it. All up there are probably a dozen different attempts in this thread to get the point across to you, none of which have any inherent flaw beyond your seeming inability to grasp it. It seems fairly unlikely that that's the fault of the explanation.
Nine people understand the concept.
One person doesn't.
Conclusion: The nine are gullible fools who don't actually understand the concept, but go with the flow anyway.
Uh, no.
For the record, when I said 'you'd have to go through it to truly understand it', that doesn't mean that someone who has gone through it is miraculously able to find words that other people can't. The suggestion was that words may be insufficient to get the idea across in its entirety. And as we know from [absence of evidence =/= evidence of absence], that isn't anything wrong with the concept itself.
quote Praetorian_Lord
quote Rome1. That's exactly what you're doing.
2. Even your biological definition of gender has been debunked by Zarathustra et al., by your own admission.
3. Whether you 'respect' it or not is completely beside the point. You wanted to know what internal gender is. You've been told countless times. If you think it's a poor choice of term, that's just super. Feel free to take it up with the relevant authorities. But don't try to use that as evidence for the idea itself being poorly-defined (did you even read the wikipedia pages I linked you to?).
You're putting the cart before the horse if you think language's inability to convey an idea [to you] makes the idea itself less credible. I can pull any number of examples you want should you require demonstration.
quote Praetorian_Lord
quote RomeThere's disagreeing with something, and then there's being a total dick about it. On what grounds is your definition higher in 'intellectual merit'? Problems of gender identity with respect to these alternate, social definitions are well-established. You're talking about the way things ought to be, but you're burying your head in the sand concerning the way things are. The 'ones set up by the society in which you grew up' aren't something to just be laughed off as if they don't exist. Indeed, as far as impact on mentality goes (and this IS, after all, a matter of psychology) they are far more relevant than biology ever will be.
It's no coincidence that gay men are stereotypically portrayed as more 'womanly' than gay women. It has everything to do with behaviour and nothing to do with biology. I'm not saying these social constructs are right, I'm saying it's how it is. Ideally gender will become meaningless one day. But open your freaking eyes, man - it ain't today. To pretend it is, and to call out someone who claims they feel more like a woman than a man according to the standards of their society, is being deliberately ignorant as well as a twat.
quote Rome100% bang on, except for the way you choose to go about enforcing that. As before, in current society 'man' and 'woman' carry far more significant connotations than simple biology. Absolutely right, it shouldn't, but it does. Can't you see that correcting individuals struggling with identity disorders is actually damaging to the cause you claim to be supporting? These people, like you and I, have grown up in a society that's forced gender roles down their throats from the days they were born. And then when they've noticed that their own preferences and behaviour are more closely aligned with the opposite gender, is it any real surprise that these social definitions are more relevant to them than biological ones?
Your solution is to say 'no, you're still a man, but you can behave however you want!' Fantastic! Except that social definitions of male and female have been so far ingrained into them that telling them they're still a man is going to invalidate all their thoughts and feelings considering their identity. 'You're still a man' implies that they can't behave however they want, according to these same social definitions. The better way forward is to say, 'biology doesn't mean shit - if you consider yourself a woman, because you feel as though you are, then I'm no-one to say differently'.
quote RomeThe holes are in semantics with which you don't agree. The point's getting laboured now, but the concept itself has been proven beyond all doubt. The open-mindedness is simply respecting a different viewpoint. That isn't being gullible.

quote Praetorian_LordGalileo would have loved you. "Everyone in Christendom is able to grasp that the Sun orbits the Earth. One person doesn't..."
Twilight's explanation was improper. He and nearly everyone else have told me what being male or female on the inside is supposed to be but not how that works, unless they base it all on the acknowledgment of gender roles, which everyone here seems to agree aren't helpful to us socially and are utterly fallacious. How then do all these claims founded on the existence of fallacious gender roles avoid then being fallacious themselves? That's what I've been trying to find out from people, and that's what people have either refused or have been unable to answer.
quote Praetorian_LordIf people can't even find the words to explain it, when they don't have to go through what is often the awkwardness of verbally articulating a deep thought or ideology, it shows to me that they don't understand it either, which kind of makes the significance of their point, whatever it may be, null by nature.
quote Praetorian_Lord1. It's not what I'm doing. I'm going by what's been a part of the language since its infancy, which most everyone should be able to understand. It's not like I invented anything here.
2. I never said that it was debunked, nor did he. We both agreed, more or less, that it's natural that physiological anomalies, which are to be expected for any species by anyone of basic, scientific sophistication, wouldn't be accommodated by a language that doesn't have its origins in the tongues of scientifically minded people. Furthermore, we agreed that the issue of people born with sexual abnormalities was not the subject of the thread, so any points on it were irrelevant.
3. I've been told what it's supposed to be, not how it works. I've been told what magic is supposed to be. People usually skim over how that works too.
quote Praetorian_LordThat's not at all what I've been saying. In fact, I'd say that there's no linguistic obstacle to this at all.
quote Praetorian_LordMy definition has a foundation in reality. We've referred to animals (humans included) with penises as male and ones with vaginas as female for centuries now. The physical differences are why the words exist. I really do not know why this bit of history bothers people so much.
The other definition lacks a foundation in reality. As I said, its foundation is in the unfair, oppressive gender roles developed by society, which you seem to agree aren't reasonable or something to be esteemed. Why, then, do they yield any credence? Would it not be more accurate to say that people wish to embody the gender roles themselves?
quote Praetorian_LordCameron, that's not an argument based on logic or evidence. You basically just told me, "Some people in society still don't see it right, and because they might not like it at first, you should not tell them about it." Really, Galileo would have loved you for that.
quote Praetorian_LordHow is it damaging to say that what is between your legs does not govern who you are? How is it damaging to say that human beings should be able to live as they wish without fear of social repercussion? How is it damaging to say, "Yes, there's a reason you feel weird about doing what the girls do; it's because the people that raised you were wrong that they told you that only girls can do it; you can do it too if you wish"?
Cameron, I'm not going to lie to them as though they are children, by telling them, "Sure, you're a man," with a warm glass of milk and a goodnight kiss. I am going to treat them like adults and human beings because they are adults and human beings. I am going to say, "Either way you behave, you're still a man, and I accept both what you are and who are, as long as who you are is good." To do otherwise would just be disrespecting them.
quote Praetorian_LordNo, they are not really semantics. They are contradictions, and I've given everyone the benefit of the doubt by giving them the opportunity to explain. No one has attempted to, and that isn't my fault.

Yeah, definitely confused man.

quote WakamanFor one, I have always been giving people a chance to explain this. The simple fact of the matter is that no one will explain how you get "male" or "female" from something non-biological. I can't control what people say or don't say, though.
And, basically, I'm just pointing out that people want to have things that contradict, like the freedom from gender roles while also acknowledging and preserving them. If people really want to be free from them, they are going to have to deny them, just as black Americans denied racial roles in the past to become free from them or, more similarly, women denied gender roles and demanded the right to vote and to work. Blacks didn't get ahead by saying that they were white on the inside nor women by saying that they were men on the inside. They got ahead by knowing and helping others know that silly social roles mean nothing when they violate our dignity as human beings.

The point you are making is very valid Rome, but the problem is the issue at hand isn't one that can be solved overnight. People aren't just going to be told "hey, all that stuff about gender roles and the like that you spent your whole life growing up with, just forget it all and treat everyone the same". Whilst this may be the goal, we're only going to get there by taking baby steps. Accepting that some people feel like the opposite gender to their biological sex is a good starting point. Sure, it may seem like it's going away from the end goal, but what it achieves is getting recognition that there is a problem with socially determined gender roles and that as a society perhaps we need to do something. Plus, if a guy thinks he's a girl then he's going to feel far more accepted, at least in the short term, if society treats him as such rather than forcing the male image on him again. Remember, we can't just throw out all of the socially ingrained ideas about gender, so your
quote Romewhilst very noble, just isn't suitable at the moment. Think of it as ahead of its time.

And another one of my posts gets deleting because of "fear" it may lead to trolling, when hence the post said I was being sarcastic. Can't anyone just relax. I see some posts that are worse than what I said and they don't get deemed to be deleted.
And on another note, you don't let people tell you who to be. If you are born a male, great, born a female, great. It's up to you to live for who you want to be, not who other's think what you are. Be true to what your gender is and if not, then like said get a sex change.

quote RomeHopefully I don't need to point out why the Galileo analogy falls over (but I will anyway). We're not dealing with a matter of blatant denial of a demonstrable fact of physical science here. If anything, the comparison works better the other way around, since you're unwilling or unable to deal with a fact of psychological science.
Explanations are only being based on gender roles because they're the closest thing anyone can use to try to help you to understand. While the difference is subtle, it's still there, and it's still important. It's a subjective feeling of identity, of belonging to one category instead of another. This may or may not be based on gender roles. Furthermore, gender roles aren't 'fallacious'. You can't deny their existence as an expectation for men and women in modern society. I completely agree with you in saying that they shouldn't exist, but once again, it's either ignorance or blindness that keeps you from recognising the central role they play in society and in identity formation as a consequence. We all subscribe to them in some way or another, because that's how we've been brought up, and no amount of 'should's is going to change that.
Thus, to tell people experiencing problems of gender identity that they are and always will be of a particular gender, according to a biological definition, is inhibiting whether intentionally so or not. You cannot deny that the words 'male' and 'female' carry much stronger connotations than simple biology for everyone but the most seasoned philosopher. No-one's expecting you to coddle them, but it isn't difficult to see what they mean when they say 'I feel like a woman on the inside'. Exact choice of words and the 'fallacy' of gender roles aside, it's their declaration that their thoughts, feelings and behaviour don't align with society's expectations of them according to their biology. These expectations are just as much ingrained in interpretations of 'male' and 'female' as what's between their legs. That goes for them as well as for the majority of the remainder of society. To correct them because you think their terminology is incorrect is not only pedantic, but frankly pig-headed.
quote RomeYou don't think eight pages of thread (or whatever we're up to now) constitutes awkwardness?
And once again, no, that just demonstrates the inability of language to adequately convey meaning in some cases. Tell a blind man what it is to see colour. Describe to me what love is, in such a manner as to precisely explain its complexities and subtle intricacies to even the most stubborn of skeptics who might read it. Oh and keep in mind that if you don't, or for whatever reason the full meaning of your definition eludes me, I'll be forced to conclude that such a thing doesn't exist.
Doesn't exactly hold up, does it?
quote Rome1. It's exactly what you're doing. I haven't invented anything either. The separation between the roles and expectations for men and women have been embedded in language for just as long as biology has. Heck, kids learn behavioural and social differences long before they learn biological ones. You're expecting others to adhere to your use of the terminology because you only agree to recognise the latter.
2. Right, so you're acknowledging the inadequacy of your biological definition in describing even every biological case. It's entirely the point of the thread - you have an issue with a term because you believe it incorrectly subverts that term's meaning. Yet you've recognised that your definition needs to be extended beyond simple concepts of genetalia, and even genetics. My suggestion is a further extension, to include behaviour, thoughts and feelings. It isn't that hard to grasp.
3. 'How it works' is through a matter of subjective feeling and experience, which you've been told about too, but which you've chosen to disregard because you've deemed it unimportant. That's what I mean when I say you'd need to go through it to understand it, because it would only have inherent significance for someone who experiences it. But at least you acknowledge that you've been told what it's 'supposed to be', so something's been accomplished here.
quote RomeSee above.
quote RomeAlso mostly covered above. The other definition does not lack a foundation in reality, it lacks a foundation in physical science. The physical differences are not the only reason the words exist, nor have these terms evolved simply to describe genetic differences (obviously, considering how new we are to genetics) or physical differences. Naturally you're going to be oblivious to the meaning of a term if you only value empirical, physical science, but you're basically disagreeing with an entire field of psychology if you fail to appreciate mental and behavioural differences between the genders. Not all of these are oppressive gender roles (though many of them are, admittedly).
And even if we do ignore it all, and run with your example, and agree that it's more accurate to say that people wish to embody the gender roles themselves - ok, so? Would it somehow radically change your opinion of the subject if, rather than saying 'I feel like a woman', they say, 'I feel like a stereotypical, culturally-bound depiction of a woman'? Pedantry as well as hypocracy.
quote RomeNo, I've told you that "Most people in society still don't see it right, and because they won't understand your purely semantic distinction, it's damaging to assume that they can, should and will". This goes for the people experiencing it as much as for those who don't. Gender and gender roles are by-and-large inseparable for the layman. They will be more easily able to understand and accept a man feeling as though he is actually a woman, and taking whatever routes are necessary to become one in the eyes of others and themselves, than a man who behaves like a woman. There's your logic, and I can pull whatever case examples of how trans* individuals are treated by society (even their own families) you like for evidence.
quote RomeIt isn't damaging to say any of those things. It's the way your conclusion results from your premises. None of those things are grounded in reality, because (a) that probably contradicts what they've been taught since they could talk, and (b) even if they did come to understand that, the rest of society wouldn't, and they'd be ostracised for acting in accordance with it.
Yes, they're all human beings - not all of them adults, mind - but you're not treating them like it. They feel like a woman, they think like a woman, according to every stereotype that society's ever forced down their throats, and to fit in with society's expectations they might have even changed their physical attributes to appear like a woman. On every single possible dimension of the term they are a woman, except for the fact that they were born, and are still genetically, a man. Are you so blind-sighted as to use that as a basis for your insistence? How ridiculous it is to insist they're a man when you wouldn't even be able to tell except for obtaining a swab of their DNA or through them telling you what they had between their legs when they were born!
You are disrespecting them because in adhering to your archaic definitions of man and woman, you are refusing to acknowledge the way they see and identify themselves. In their minds they are a woman. You aren't anyone to disagree.

As soon as an adult debate degrades into ridicule and a cluster *bleep* of quotes and re-quotes i just lose interest. Shame, good conversation up to a point.
I think i learned something. I still dont know exactly where i stand, but i do have a better understanding of the ins and outs and will continue to be tollerant and respectful of peoples life choices even if I have my reservations about their importance or value.

quote ZarathustraThat doesn't make any sense. How is it forcing the male image on someone who is a male beyond all doubt?
Plus, how is waiting to do the right thing, when we could do it now, helpful?
quote Praetorian_LordHopefully, I don't need to point out why that falling over of the Galileo analogy falls over (but I will anyway). We're dealing with a matter of blatant denial of demonstrable fact of physical science here. If anything, the comparison works perfectly, since you're unwilling or unable to deal with a lack any science.
quote Praetorian_LordThey are not close at all, and you in fact know this. Gender roles have no proximity, even in principle, to being a man or a woman. This might be a reason why the attempt to explain is so problematic.
I'm not denying their existence in the sense that I deny that people are aware of them and expect them. That's like saying I can't deny the existence of Yahweh because some people are aware of and expect Yahweh. It's nonsensical. So a lot of people buy into it. That means I should too? You just activated my other Galileo trap card.
quote Praetorian_LordIf anyone really takes conflict with it, it'd only take a second to explain what I've gone over again and again in this thread. If they are offended because I don't expect them to behave according to gender roles and respect their wishes to live peacefully contrary to the expectations of society, then I'm not the one who needs to sort out how he treats other people.
And, it's not just a matter of incorrect terminology. It's the fact that it preserves gender roles.
quote Praetorian_LordNo, I don't think it's awkward. Why should it be?
I could tell a blind man what it is to see color. I could tell the most ardent skeptic what love is, but I doubt there has ever been a person who did not love something or someone at some point, so that's a person with whom I'd never have to tangle.
Also, you missed the point (and my literal phrasing). I didn't say that an inability to explain meant a lack of existence. I said it meant that they don't understand what they are talking about, so there is no point to refute, ultimately.
quote Praetorian_Lord1. That's because the latter has a basis in irrevocable reality. The former does not. It has its basis in a desire to oppress and control.
2. I'm simply stating that pronouns such as "he" and "she" were likely not made with hermaphrodites and other such anomalies in mind. It's not an admission that gender some how becomes more than biology. It's an admission that the core vocabulary of our language is, not surprisingly, non-medical.
3. The fact that I have a penis is hardly subjective. Why is the subjective trying to cling to the objective through terms such as "male" and "female"?
quote Praetorian_LordThey are the only reasons. If all humans were like the Achatina achatina, I'd expect there'd be no distinction in such. I can, however, see how they might develop language to make a distinction between alpha and beta type personalities or to look at sex much in the manner that the Romans (who still had their own fallacious gender roles) did: a penetrator-penetrated relationship.
quote Praetorian_LordThere's a difference between being like a woman and being a woman. Both statements could be correct, depending on what the speaker is talking about. A eunuch could feel like a woman because, given the lack of testosterone, he'd lack the physical strength that healthy men have but healthy women don't have. I don't think I need to elaborate on the second.
I don't see the pedantry or hypocrisy behind it. The distinction are fair and make no unfair statements about anyone, and they invoke no double standard.
quote Praetorian_LordHow is that damaging? Furthermore, I'm still waiting to hear how maintaining gender roles is not even more damaging. I could really make another religious analogy here.
Evidence of what? That people don't know what it is to be male and female and trip through life over it? I don't think that's being disputed.
quote Praetorian_LordSo mob mentality is the solution?
quote Praetorian_LordHow is that blind-sighted? I'm not trying to pretend anything. It is what they are, irrevocably, irreversibly, irrefutably.
If I go to extreme lengths to modify my appearance, perhaps permanently, to look like and behave like Alan Rickman, does that suddenly make me the famous actor who played Snape? Would the fact that I could get away with tricking people about it lend credibility to my cause?
quote Praetorian_LordI'm in fact respecting the way they wish to live and respecting that their sex organs do not have to define them as a person, which is the main goal here, is it not? I'm not obligated to respect ideas that don't make sense, and kill me the day that I am. On the contrary, clinging to the idea of gender roles just gives them reason to think that they are somehow wrong and must become something they are not. You're inadvertently giving them the disease and the cure with what you do. Maybe my way is a harsh regimen of chemo, but I'm not contributing to creating the problem.

On the hypocrisy of trans people who think there is no correlation between gender and sex, yet mimic the physical appearance of the opposite sex to match their sex and gender together:
Very rambly, but at the end he admits to this hypocrisy, explaining it through societies mess up of gender roles rather than any "gender identity disorder" of his own. Completely agree with this, his changed appearance makes it easier for him to live with the gender, rather than sex, he was born with.

To be honest, I've gotten to the stage where any responses I give are just going to be reiterations of what I've already said. If we continue like this we're just going to go around in circles and frustrate ourselves even further.
I'm sorry if I haven't helped you to understand any better, Rome, but KR_1250's right - this has gotten a bit ridiculous. Maybe someone else can help you out better than I can.

"Siena" Top 5 Page for this destination Siena by sue_stone
Siena Travel Guide: 899 reviews and 2,730 photos
Siena deserves to be one of the top tourist attractions in Tuscany. Even filled to the brim with tour groups it is still enchanting. Surely no one can fail to be captivated by the wonderful Piazza del Campo or the views from the Torre del Mangia.
The countryside around Siena is also stunning, and it makes a great base to explore nearby places such as the Chianti region, or the hill top towns of San Gimignano and Volterra.
To date, my four brief visits to Siena have only enabled me to scratch the surface of this intriguing town. Siena has so many things to see - there are lovely piazza's at every turn, filled with grand palazzo's or home to yet another lovely little church. You can even get away from the hordes and wander in the smaller medieval streets, stopping for an espresso at a little café or admiring the gothic architecture surrounding you. Oh, and make sure you check out the Duomo - wow!

Smashing page Sue. Siena is one of those European destinations I really hope to visit some day soon! Thanks for sharing.
I have been to La Bagoga three different times and it has been fantastic each time. I love the dish that they make with pheasant, it is fabulous. The staff is friendly and the chef was a jockey in the Palio many years ago.
Outstanding updates here. Can you believe that I have never been to Siena? So I better should start planning my next trip to Italy instead of to Belarus. *winkygrin*
Another Italian city that I haven't managed to get to - yet! I agree that cathedral looks stunning, but so does the rest of the city. Would love to see San Gimignano too :)
Great updates here on one of my favourite Italian cities!
Sue, beautiful pics and very helpful tips. Thnks for sharing.. Tom
This is an excellent page! very helpful tips and beautiful pictures. I'm going to Siena in March and your page really helps planning. Thank you.
Hi Sue, Happy New Year. Nice Sienna pages, I'm hoping to get there myself later in the year.
It's years since I visited Siena. Your page makes me want to revisit. Well done.
Very interesting page with beautiful pics!

Well, went in today, cyst is finally gone after 10 days BCP. Now to start first round of injections Tues. Who all is doing an IUI this month?
Proud Army Wife to James, Proud Mommy to Noah (9), Baby Jellybean EDD: February 9, 2016
I will be doing my 3rd Clomid/IUI this month. Sometime around the 19th I think.
I will be starting Round 6 of Clomid on Monday but this will be Round 3 with an IUI (and my RE only counts the IUI cycles).
Rounds #1,2,3- 50mg (CD3-7) follies not monitored. BFN's
Round #4- 100mg (CD3-7) 22mm follie, HCG triggger shot on CD21, IUI on CD22. BFN
Round #5- 150mg 2x (CD3-7 & CD20-24) folies:22,17,15, many 13's, HCG trigger shot on CD23, IUI on CD24. BFN
Round #6-?
I can't wait to be off the Clomid and move on to something else (injectables? IVF?).
I would love to wait it out with you guys this month!
TTC #2- IVF Success! EDD Sept 2014!
Good luck, yall! I'm nervous about the shots! Shauna, our name is spelled the same. Everyone else has a "W" and not a "U" it seems!
Don't worry about the shots! The hardest one is the first. After that, it's simple. DH hates needles so I injected them myself. It is just unnatural to poke yourself with a sharp object!!!
Just do it as fast as possible. I didn't even feel the needle for the Ovidrel. The Bravelle stung slightly, but honestly, you do it because you want a baby so bad.
Shauna, Ha-ha, I noticed the spelling too... i got confused for about a second wondering if I wrote something else :)
Joanne, I had to give myself my last trigger shot. I didn't even feel the injection (a little ice helps) but I hated the 15 minutes after. But it was the same when the nurse gave me the shot. I can get my blood drawn all day with no problems but getting an injection always freaks me out a bit. But I imagine that will change when I am getting shots more often too. Its amazing what we will put our bodies through for all of this!
TTC #2- IVF Success! EDD Sept 2014!
nervous! Will be talking my first gonal shot in around 4 hrs when DH gets home, but I'm excited too! Ready to get this show on the road!

James Blake at First Avenue, 9/28/11
James Blake
September 28th, 2011
First Ave, Minneapolis
It was just a few short months ago that James Blake first set foot in our fair Cities, in town then to pay a visit to the 7th St. Entry. On his return to Minneapolis last night, Blake made the upgrade to the Mainroom, and his excitement was impossible to conceal. Having giddily had his picture taken in front of Prince's star outside before the show, the soft-spoken Brit, on the few occasions he did speak, enthused over the opportunity to play such an historic venue. Granted, it was perhaps more what he didn't say than what he did say: Blake seemed almost speechless.
Which was just as well, because the man's music said plenty itself.
For those who had the privilege of seeing Blake first time round, last night's show most likely didn't quite measure up. After all, his ghostly music is tailor-made for an intimate venue like the Entry, where the pin-drop details would most clearly be communicated. But all in all there was little reason to complain, and indeed there was something surreal about looking out over such a sea of people and seeing them all stand silently, heads bobbing gently, at rapt attention.
There were two other musicians, Rob McAndrews on guitar and Ben Assiter on drums and drum machine, who were both introduced as childhood friends of the singer. But it was inevitably Blake who took the spotlight. He spent the night with his lanky frame tucked in behind a keyboard and synth, his mess of hair smeared around his head and across his face, while credentials dangled from his neck.
Not surprisingly, the setlist drew heavily from Blake's self-titled full-length, but this wasn't a mere recital of that record. It felt more like a convocation, a rite, delivered with glitchy, stuttering bursts and a vocoder quaver. There was disarming elegance, such as on a song like "Lindisfarne," and sheer tear-the-house-down, rattle-your-fillings-out dubstep beats, like on "Klavierwerke." There was even an extended reggae interlude on "Limit to Your Love."
The twisted soul of "I Never Learnt to Share" seemed to encapsulate the polarity of the music, as well as the intimacy of the evening: Blake recorded his vocal tracks live on the spot, but the recording caught some cheers from the audience, so each successive loop somewhat bizarrely played the audience back over the PA. Gradually the layers built up until Blake was all but harmonizing with the stained-glass tones of his synth. It all built into a furious climax that took the simplicity of the lyric's lone, repeated phrase to express the desperation behind those words, as if laid out as a sacrament--or a confession of one's sins.
Blake's is a singualr voice and singular style of music. It's already evolved quickly over a still-short career, and it continues to do so, as his new, as-yet-unreleased tracks included last night demonstrated. Whatever he chooses to say next, there undoubtedly will be a seat waiting for him in the Mainroom. And maybe, eventually, a star of his own outside.
Critic's Bias: The comparison is inevitable, but would I get shot if I said I liked James Blake more than Bon Iver, Bon Iver?
The crowd: Youngish hipsters. Sorry, I said it.
Overheard in the crowd: "It's like [pauses to think] intellectual dubstep!"
Random notebook dump: Chairlift were heavy on the '80s vibe, but were a solid, dancy opener. Their Cure cover went over particularly well.

"It's time for the Senate to act," Boehner said. "It's not about the House. We've acted."
The House is not scheduled to be in session Friday, when the cuts will begin to take effect, but the Speaker said the lower chamber would be prepared to respond to Senate action.
"If the Senate acts, I'm sure the House will act quickly," he said.
The Senate plans to vote on two competing measures to replace or modify the sequester, but neither is expected to achieve the 60-vote threshold needed to advance.

"Chuck, I feel like I hit the lottery the night you opened the door of the Cafe Istanbul and invited me in to hear Michaela Harrison. That was good, the African Film and Arts Festival was a home run with the bases loaded, and the Monday night music film series was a lot of fun, as well."
