We had a great time in Budapest, the flat was perfectly located to discover the city.
Everything was clean and well equipped, very functional.
The hosts were very reactive with our questions, check-in and -out went smooth - we were even able to stay longer on the day of departure given that our flight was in the evening.
Overall a very nice stay!
The apartment is really well situated: you are walking distance to almost every place worth visiting! The apartment itself is clean, well equipped, spacious and quite luminous. Our host Thomas was nice, attentive and helpful. All in all, I can totally recommend this.
Excelent apartment, excelent location -near to everything important in Budapest- and a very kind landlord wich is rather weird in a city where the service is still a litle bit of soviet quality. I warmly recommend this flat to anyone who wants a good time in Budapest, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
Excelente apartamento, excelente ubicación -cerca de las atracciones más importantes de Budapest- y un dueño muy amable lo que es un poco raro en una ciudad donde la atención al turista es todavía de calidad soviética. Recomiendo calurosamente este apartamento a quienquiera pasar unas hermosas vacaciones en Budapest, una de las ciudades más hermosas de Europa.
Mycket bra standard på lägenheten, mycket bra läge -nära till alla turistiska attraktioner- och en ganska vänlig ägare, vilket var lite sällsynt i Budapest där servicen är fortfarande av sovjetisk kvalitet. Jag rekommenderar gärna den här lägenheten till alla som vill åka till Budapest, en av de vackraste städer i världen.
Clean, spacious, good location
Sauber, geräumig, gute Lage

Un hôte charmant, très sympathique, qui nous a donné tous les renseignements nécessaires. Grande disponibilité. Appartement très agréable, soigné et bien situé.
We stayed for 4 nights in the apartment of Thomas. I highly recommend it to everyone for the excellent quality-price ratio, its central location (just steps from the Synagogue, the metro stop ...) and for the availability of the owner as his collaborators that on our arrival we were given maps and tips for our stay.
The city is beautiful and I think we will be back soon!
Abbiamo soggiornato per 4 notti nell'appartamento di Thomas. Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti per l'ottima proporzione qualità-prezzo, la sua posizione centralissima (a due passi dalla Sinagoga, fermata della Metro...)e per la disponibilità del proprietario come dei suoi collaboratori che al nostro arrivo ci hanno fornito mappe e consigli utili per la nostra permanenza.
la città è bellissima e credo che ci torneremo presto!
The apartment is great for a holiday with friends: big, clean and very well located in the center. Distance walk from the pedestrian area, the Parliament, the Danube and all the bars in ruins I highly recommend!
Thomas is a very welcoming and helpful host. He had prepared all the necessary plans to visit the city of tips for everyday and even nice restaurants around! Thank you! :)
I recommend without hesitation!
L'appartement est excellent pour un séjour entre amis: grand, propre et très bien situé, en plein centre. Distance à pieds de la rue piétonne, du parlement, le Danube et tous les bars en ruines que je vous conseille vivement!
Thomas est un hôte très accueillant et disponible. Il nous avait préparé tous les plans nécessaires pour la visite de la ville, des petits conseils pour le quotidien et même les petits restos sympas aux alentours! Merci! :)
Je recommande sans aucune hésitation!
The apartment was quite satisfactory, with a nice and lovely bathroom, large bedrooms with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. A good wi-fi connection a Tv set are a well appreciated bonus. Overall the place is clean and enjoyable.
The appartment is well located : the building entrance (with a secure door) gives on a pedestrian street with a supermarket just two steps away. There is also a big indoor market nearby. The tram and subway are just 5 minutes away. The distric is very safe and the neighbourhood quiet.
It was a very nice stay and we will defnitively go back to this partment for our next stay in Budapest.

Woman accused of misusing bank cards, checksAugust 06,2014BENNINGTON A Cambridge, N.Y., woman was charged with multiple felonies Tuesday after police said they believed she had misused other peoples debit cards and one mans checking account.
Lynn Senecal, 43, pleaded innocent Tuesday in Bennington criminal court to 11 felony counts of forgery and seven misdemeanor charges of using false tokens in one case. She also pleaded innocent Tuesday in the same court to a misdemeanor charge of using false tokens in a second case.
Officer David Rowland of the Bennington Police Department said in the first case that he met with a man Jan. 15 who said he used to have a relationship with Senecal. The man said that the relationship was over but Senecal was still using his credit card and writing checks against his bank account.
Rowland said there was more than $700 charged to the credit card, mostly in December, and about $2,500 in checks cashed in April and May 2013.
In the second case, Trooper Christopher Burnett of the Vermont State Police said he met with another man who said Senecal was using his bank card without permission. Burnett did not give a total but said one charge, for $89.25, was for a body piercing.
Rowland said he learned Senecal was in jail in Washington County, N.Y., in March. Rowland said Senecal told him she was being held in connection with a case involving the use of a stolen credit card but said she did not provide any more specifics.
On Tuesday, Senecal was released without bail.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The races might be new, but many of the faces are the same.

OAKRIDGE, Ore. (AP) — The Thursday night city council meeting in Oakridge was packed with an emotional crowd split over the campaign to recall three city councilors and the mayor because of a budget crisis.
The Register Guard reports (http://bit.ly/p2PdzD) it was the first large showing of opponents to the recall in the Sept. 20 election.
Critics continued to blame the four elected officials and the city manager for a recently discovered shortfall of $420,000 in the budget for the town of 3,200 people.

Syrian rebels capture country's largest dam
The rebels now control three dams on the Euphrates. In November, they captured the Tishrin Dam, near the northern town of Manbij. And last week, they took the Baath dam, close to al-Furat.
In Damascus, activists reported clashes and shelling mostly in the northeastern neighborhoods of Jobar and Qaboun as well as the southern parts of the city.
Over the past four days, the rebels brought their fight to within a mile of the heart of the capital, seizing army checkpoints and cutting a key highway.
Syrian TV showed footage from Abbasid Square, a landmark plaza in central Damascus, after sunset Monday to counter activists' claims of fighting only hundreds of meters (yards) away. The footage showed little traffic in the square, and it was dark.
Meanwhile, the Observatory said members of Jabhat al-Nusra blew themselves up in two car bombs outside an intelligence office in the northeastern city of Shadadah, killing at least 14 security agents and wounding many people.
The Observatory said Shadadah has been witnessing heavy clashes between troops and rebels.
Jabhat al-Nusra, which led the fighting at the dam, has been named by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization. It has proved to be the most effective group among rebels fighting in Syria.
Also in northern Syria, a car bomb exploded at a border crossing with Turkey in Idlib province. Turkey's prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said 13 people died in the blast. He didn't specifically say the explosion was caused by a bomb, possibly in deference to an ongoing investigation, but he left little doubt that authorities believed it was the work of assailants.
"The incident is very important in showing to what extent our stance on terror and our sensibility toward Syrian incidents is well-directed," Erdogan said.
The border area between the two countries has seen fierce fighting in the civil war. Tensions have also flared between the Syrian regime and Turkey in the past months after shells fired from Syria landed on the Turkish side.
As a result, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States decided to send two batteries of Patriot air defense missiles each to protect Turkey, their NATO ally.
Associated Press writers Chris Torchia in Istanbul and Ezgi Akin contributed in Ankara, Turkey contributed to this report.

In... Keukenhof Review
Favorite thing: History of Keukenhof
In the 15th century, the area where Keukenhof is now located consisted of woods and dunes. Here game was hunted by the inhabitants of the Teylingen castle, the remains of which can still be seen. From 1401 to 1436 this estate belonged to the Countess of Holland, Jacoba van Beieren. It was her court to sojourn, to hunt and to gather herbs for the castle's kitchen. Hence the name Keukenhof (kitchen garden).
The park which forms the basis of the current Keukenhof was designed in 1840 by the horticultural architects Zochter, father and son. They also designed the Vondelpark in Amsterdam. The beautiful Beukenlaan (Beech Lane) with its majestic trees originates from this period. They are the oldest trees present in the Keukenhof. A lot of attention is paid to the trees in the park. For example, every 5 years a small airplane flies over the park to take infra-red pictures of the trees. This way, all of the trees in the park can be checked to see if they are still healthy.
The flower garden of Keukenhof was started in 1949 at the initiative of the mayor of Lisse at that time, Mr. Lambooy. He did this in cooperation with a dozen of prominent flower bulb growers and exporters from the area surrounding the village. Together they developed the idea for an open-air flower exhibition, in order to be able to show the consumer the wide range of flower bulbs. In the first year Keukenhof was open, more than 236,000 people visited the flower garden. In the past few years this number of annual visitors has grown at an exceptional rate of between 800,000 and 900,000, among them many 'VIPs'. Our own royal family, American president Eisenhower, British queen Elizabeth, and Hillary Clinton have visited the Keukenhof. Together, all these visitors ensure that Keukenhof is one of the top three most photographed sights in the world.
Not only a lot of flora, but also much fauna can be seen in Keukenhof. In addition to the pasture animals, more than 30 different kinds of breeding birds can be found. The swans in the pond are leased annually and return to their owner after the season.
Favorite thing: LENTETUIN ('SPRING GARDEN') OF EUROPE
In the spring Keukenhof is naturally THE flower attraction of Holland. In the 32 ha park millions of bulb flowers bloom in all colors of the rainbow for eight weeks. This year marks the first time thousands of tulips and other bulb flowers can be admired in the new expansion area including the Oranje Nassau Pavilion.
The flower bulbs for Keukenhof are supplied by some one hundred companies. The bulbs are planted by about thirty gardeners from the end of September until the first frost. Keukenhof has been using layered planting for the past ten years to ensure that plenty of color can be seen throughout the entire park from March until May. This means that the bulbs are planted on top of each other. First come the late-blooming tulips, deepest in the ground, above them the early-blooming tulips, above them the crocuses. This way, colors show three times at the same spot in the park, from early in the season until late in the season. In addition to the millions of flower bulbs that are planted, more than 6,500 kilos of grass seed are sown each year in order to cultivate a fresh green lawn beside the colorful splendor of the flowers.
Art at Keukenhof
Art plays a prominent role in Keukenhof. It creates harmony between nature and culture. A permanent sculpture exhibit can be admired in the park, showing works of art like 'Het Ruiterbeeld' (The Horseman Statue) by P. Koning, 'Dynamisch Evenwicht' (Dynamic equilibrium) by C. van Kervel, also called 'Witte Bollen' (White bulbs), 'De Kangaroe' (The Kangaroo) by Vermeer, 'Het Dolfijntje' (The Little Dolphin) by B. De Clerq-Brinkgreve, 'Zesdelige Vorm' (Six-part Form) by G. Bruning and 'Gehurkte Vrouw' (Squatting Woman) by N. Jonk. There is also a sculpture trail in the park. In addition to the sculptures, painting and photo exhibits are shown in different pavilions.
Theme gardens
The flower presentations in Keukenhof are not only there to be admired. They are also meant as a source of inspiration, so that people can start working with bulbs themselves. In different gardens the themes of color, smell, renaissance, abstract style, water and borders are each elaborated in a specific garden, on a small and simple scale that can be applied at home. Questions about planting spring and summer bulbs and perennials, and also about starting and maintaining a garden can be answered at the information stand. In the Nature garden, bulb and tuberous plants are combined with perennials in a natural setting. These bulbs and perennials run wild, creating a natural equilibrium. That also happens in the Music Garden, fit into the area between the old mill and the Koningin (Queen) Beatrix Pavilion, somewhat removed from the busy trails. In this garden which contains, among other things, some special bulb plants, music can be heard along the wood-chip trail and the pond. In the Historical Garden, through wooden doors, visitors step back into history to the time of the Middle Ages. In this 'secret' walled garden all types of special old bulb pants and kitchen herbs are cultivated. Sometimes it seems that Jacoba van Beieren herself may step into the garden with her entourage. Besides there is a maze at the expansion area. The Japanese Garden in Keukenhof, laid out in the vicinity of the mill. It is a modern garden, with a much more playful design then traditional Japanese gardens. The layout is done in close cooperation with the Hanakairo Park in Tottori, Japan and the garden is a symbol of the 400-year-old relationship between Japan and Holland. During Zomerhof 2000 the Japanese Garden has been officially opened.
'Bollebozen' route
Keukenhof features numerous attractions for children. The Bollebozen (clever clogs) route, takes the younger visitors on a fun-filled quest of questions and trivia that will make them true clever clogs. The route pamphlets are free and can be obtained at ticket or information counters. Children who return the questions to any of the information counters can pick up their surprise gift. There is also in the park a labyrinth, a play meadow and an animal pasture.
Indoor exhibits
In the spring, an abundance of flowers is not only found outdoors at Keukenhof. In the different pavilions all types of flower exhibits can be admired, the Flower Parades. The permanent Orchid Exhibit in the Koningin Beatrix Pavilion where more species of bamboo can be found.
For more information go to: Spring Flower Parades
Bulb outlets
Six bulb outlets can be found in the park during spring, where visitors can order a bulb package they can put together themselves. These are automatically shipped in October. In addition, two flower shops offer a wide assortment of cut flowers. In the park there are also countless shops with an extended assortment of souvenirs of Keukenhof and Holland. Various photo accessories are also available here.
To take a moment to quietly enjoy all impressions of the spring show, visitors may go to one of our restaurants or several outdoor buffets in the park.
The 28th... Keukenhof Review
Favorite thing: Flower Bulb Market
The 28th version of the National Flower Bulb Market will be held in the Oranje Nassau Pavilion and the expansion area of Keukenhof. In October these are transformed into a great market. Visitors can buy flower bulbs at old Dutch façades and they can get extensive information from the sales people, usually the growers themselves. Besides flower bulbs there is also a wide selection of unusual shrubs, perennials, houseplants and garden tools. In addition, there are various experts available to give advice on gardening and plants to those wishing to know more about gardens and gardening.

"Driving at night" Top 5 Page for this destination Sheridan Warnings Or Dangers Tip by toonsarah
Sheridan Warnings and Dangers: 3 reviews and 1 photos
If driving around the Big Horns at night, as elsewhere in Wyoming, you need to be very careful. When we crossed the mountains after dark on Highway 14 we saw deer every few hundred yards, and they're no respecters of traffic. Drive at a sensible speed and keep a constant watch for movement by the side of the road or the gleam of their eyes caught in your headlights, and be ready to stop at any minute. If you were to hit one of even the smallest of these beautiful animals it would do considerable damage to your car and more importantly to the animal itself.

One could be fooled into thinking Onomichi was an island, where the ocean air whisps about the often deserted streets and the locals thrive from eclectic arts and hospitality industries. That would all be true, except the island part.
Literally translated as "tail road," Onomichi is just that. Tucked into a coastal nook of the Seto Inland Sea (about halfway between Okayama and Hiroshima city), it is the point where the body of Honshu whips up its tail, curving away from the sameness of the rest of Japan in one short, playful wag.
At the same time it remains something of a relic; a throwback to an imagined yesteryear, where the the town festivals still mean something to the average child. From the moment you step off the train, a gentle nostalgia tugs at you.
Legendary film director Yasujiro Ozu used Onomichi as the archetypal Japanese hometown in his classic 1953 film "Tokyo Story" ("Tokyo Monogatari"). Fifty-five years later, Onomichi still feels like Japan's hometown — with a few refreshing twists.
For the regular visitor spiel, hit up the tourist information booth, which consists of just a few old men in fluorescent green jackets sitting under an umbrella in the station square with pamphlets and maps of Onomichi's famous sites. For information you are unlikely to find in those pamphlets, read on.
Take a walk around the "grassy knoll," the name some English-speaking locals have given the relaxed stretch of public, green space that hugs the coastline. Pull up a wrought-iron chair and reset your internal clock to Onomichi time, measured by the gentle slapping of the crisp turquoise waters against the pier or the putt-putt rhythm of the little ferry boats as they lumber back and forth to the aptly named Mukaishima (literally, island across the bay).
At the top of the mountain rising up behind the station is Onomichi Castle. Don't bother going there, it's empty. Orient yourself with the castle on your left (west): Along the top of the mountain is Senkoji Park; Senkoji Temple is on the right side of the mountain (east); on the hillside are about 25 temples strewn about; and in front of you is the old town, with a shotengai (shopping street) running through it.
"Bottle cafe" YES occupies the third and fourth floors of a building shared with an offbeat clothing store and an antique trinket/cafe at the beginning of the shotengai. YES owner Eiji Tokunaga incorporated his rejection of a world of plastic into his cafe, which only serves drinks in glass bottles.
Blending New Mexico, Africa and Japan in its handmade decor, YES typifies the kind of creative experience possible for young people in Onomichi. Tokunaga entered into a joint project to refurbish a run-down building and, by hand, rebuilt everything.
"I used old things to respect the old space and reflect the old town," he explained in mixed English and Japanese as he served up an ice-cold, locally bottled fruit drink called "Home."
"I refinished and repolished everything. When I was done, a monk came in here and said he thought it was a tea room!" he said, laughing, more out of humility than jest. It's easy to lose a few hours in the hammock on the top floor, or deep in conversation with the chilled-out Tokunaga.
Off a shotengai side street is Chai Salon Dragon, easy to spot because it's painted bright orange. Here, you can enjoy hot chai tea all year round, or, in summer, a hybrid drink made from matcha (Japanese green tea) and cider (Japanese lemonade), called "Chaider," brainchild of owner Hirofumi Murakami.
Dragon, run by Murakami and his wife, Tamako, seats three comfortably — six or seven with some effort — and effuses a kitchenlike warmth.
Murakami is a veritable Onomichi cheerleader, with an eye for business. Surrounded by his mini-empire of Onomichi-goods — I-heart-Onomichi T-shirts, buttons and postcards; fake subway maps (there are only buses); and stickers and cards encouraging customers to "Feel Japan!" by drinking his trademark Chaider — it's easy to understand why they do well. When asked how small shops like his, or some of the other much older shops, can stay in business in a town with around 100,000 people, he waxed optimistic: "Many people in Onomichi still survive from the '50s port-town boom; they rent properties and open their shops more as a hobby. But tourism is gaining ground here. Since we were designated as part of the Yokoso Japan campaign (a Japanese tourism ministry initiative to encourage foreign tourists to visit the country), we can see more and more interest in the creative, traditional image of Onomichi," he explained. Of note: Murakami speaks multiple languages — Japanese, English, German, and at least a smattering of others — somewhat of a rarity in Onomichi.
Attention anime otaku (obsessive): There is an original vintage kids' ride based on the 1960s anime character Obake no Q-taro parked unceremoniously in front of an electrical shop between the first and second section of the shotengai. Don't blink or you'll miss it.
Shu-Ka-En ramen shop is the most famous place for a hot bowl of Onomichi ramen. People line up around the block (even in winter!) for a taste of this rather lardy, chicken-, pork- or fish-based noodle soup. If you can't stomach the lineup, try Miyachi ramen shop. Technically on the shotengai, the entrance is in a very narrow alleyway that cuts away toward Kaigan-dori (Coast Road). The chef, who looks like a samurai hippie, serves up his own style of cheap, delicious ramen.
Yamaneko cafe is quite possibly the best cafe in town.
On Kaigan-dori, look for the red awning. With adorable staff, rotating local art and inexpensive but impressive lunch specials (¥600-900), Yamaneko demands a visit. Try the latte: it nears perfection.
Take the minty-blue-green Ropeway, built in 1957. This cuts out the hassle of climbing up the mountain and only costs a few hundred yen one way.
The 130-meter ascent can be quite breathtaking as you pass over Senkoji Temple in all its bursting red-orange glory, but save your camera batteries for the observatory. Reminiscent of a flying saucer, this is the highest point in town and offers an insane panorama. On a clear day, you can easily see Shikoku.
Senkoji Park offers various distractions, the oddest of which is Monkey Land, where real, sad monkeys live out their real, sad lives. There used to be a small amusement park here too, but because of those pesky failed safety inspections, the city recently tore the whole thing down.
The Path of Literature is overrated. Unless you are familiar with Japanese poets and authors, it's just a bunch of rocks with poems etched in kanji. Spend your time weaving back into town through the maze of seemingly ancient, sometimes abandoned houses (though some are quasi-squatted — rent can be as low as ¥10,000 a month).
Of the hillside temples, Saikokuji is noteworthy for its gigantic hanging waraji (straw sandals). If you're into cats, stop by the Maneki-Neko Museum (next to Tenneiji Temple), which houses no fewer than 1,500 paw-saluting cat figurines in a tiny two-story house.
Onomichi, for all its curious charms, is a humble place. However, German director (and Ozu disciple) Wim Wenders was so inspired by the town that he held a photography exhibit in 2006 titled "Journey to Onomichi" in tribute.
If you journey to Onomichi, stay a day or two. You may find yourself suddenly wanting to abandon your day job, move to the mountain and start that novel you've been meaning to write. It's been that kind of town for . . . centuries.
From Tokyo, take the Shinkansen south to Fukuyama Station and transfer to the local JR Sanyo line for the last 20 beautiful minutes south to Onomichi. There IS an Onomichi Shinkansen stop, but that station is in the middle of nowhere — just take the local for the last stretch!

Cézanne's Reflections of Paris
PARIS—In 1861, the 22-year-old Paul Cézanne followed his school friend Émile Zola to Paris, the only possible place, he said, "to live as an artist." Although Cézanne is indelibly associated with his native city of Aix-en-Provence and the nearby Mont Sainte-Victoire he so often painted, in fact he traveled from Provence to Paris some 20 times over the next half-century, spending a total of some 20 years in the city and its environs—and living at nearly 20 different addresses. "Cézanne and Paris," at the Musée du Luxembourg, traces that surprising, often-ignored aspect of the painter's life and work with some 80 paintings executed in the city and the surrounding towns of the Ile-de-France region, out of an estimated 350 or so, or about one-third of his life's work.
The Artist and the City
Until Feb. 26
The prickly artist, with his thick Provençal accent and volatile temperament, had a love-hate relationship with Paris, and if he often needed to be in the city, he seldom painted it. The show opens with a few of those rare works, including a view over "The Rooftops of Paris" (1881-82), looking down onto a zinc roof that fills half the frame, and out over a geometric pattern of buildings to a leaden Parisian sky. The delightful, colorful, blue-river blue-sky "The Seine at Bercy" (circa 1876-78)—a copy of a painting by his Impressionist friend Armand Guillaumin—is about as Impressionist as Cézanne ever gets.
More often he preferred the landscapes outside the city: Pontoise, the banks of the Marne, the forest of Fontainebleau, and leafy green Auvers-sur-Oise, with its small white houses topped by slanting red and blue roofs. In Paris as in Provence, he painted still lifes and portraits: crusty baguettes on a table in "Still Life with Bread and Eggs" (1865) and lots of bowls, pitchers and fruit. "Madame Cézanne Sewing" (1877) is set against the same patterned wallpaper as several still lifes; his wife, he said, "posed like an apple."

A man profiled on the television show America's Most Wanted has been captured here in Eastern Carolina.
Halifax County deputies arrested Jermaine Wilson originally for driving a four wheeler on a highway.
Deputies say they were suspicious of the identity of the man they arrested. so they planned to fingerprint him at the Sheriff's Office. That's when he told deputies "You got me...I'm on American's Most Wanted because I am wanted by the FBI for murder in New York."
Sure enough, a check with the FBI confirmed the story and now the 35-year-old man is in the Halifax County Jail without bond.

I don't think so. The Chameleon's casting cannot be used to qualify for prc reqs, so you would need to have 4th level casting in something else and then apply it to the Chameleon instead. Which is possible, but probably not feasible in a pre-epic campaign

The mother of a 29-year-old lesbian who committed suicide nearly a decade ago told a gathering of gays and their friends and family members...
The mother of a 29-year-old lesbian who committed suicide nearly a decade ago told a gathering of gays and their friends and family members yesterday that her daughter died because of the "untruths taught by the church."
A few of the 75 of so people gathered at Newport Presbyterian Church in Bellevue wiped away tears as Mary Lou Wallner talked about Anna's death in 1997, about the guilt she felt and how the circumstances have changed her life.
Wallner, who lives just outside Little Rock, Ark., explained she was raised in a conservative Christian home, and that was how she had raised her daughter. When Anna came out as a lesbian in 1988, Wallner was not prepared to accept it.
"I committed a hate crime," she said, recalling a comment she once made. "I didn't love my daughter unconditionally."

Wallner and her husband, Bob, Anna's stepfather, were featured speakers at yesterday's Love Welcomes All conference sponsored by Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). It was held in response to a conference last month that promoted the idea that homosexuality is preventable and treatable.
That June 25 event, sponsored by James Dobson's evangelical Christian organization, Focus on the Family, drew about 1,200 people.
Yesterday's daylong conference included a panel discussion that explored science and research about homosexuality and gave attendees a chance to chat with presenters.
Patrick Chapman, an anthropology instructor at South Puget Sound Community College, challenged published reports about homosexuals' ability to change, saying that "over 99 percent of those who attempt reparative therapy to change their sexual orientation have failed."
"There's scientific evidence that homosexuality is inborn and immutable — with a few exceptions explained by psychosocial theories," he said.
Kirsten McArdle, of Redmond, whose previously married sister came out to the family recently, said she attended the conference to better understand the difficult issues confronting her family.
"My parents are pretty open-minded, but I want to help them better understand this," she said.
"My dad characterized it as a phase, that she was rebelling. I believe it's part of who she is."
McArdle said although she had a lot of gay and lesbian friends before her sister came out, "I had a hard time understanding how someone who had been with men could then suddenly find out she's gay."
During her gripping half-hour presentation, Wallner told the group about the painful telephone call from her ex-husband the night their daughter died and her long and painful path to spiritual acceptance.
With her husband, she created an organization called To Educate About the Consequences of Homophobia (TEACH), to allow her to spread the story about her daughter.
The Bible, she warned the group, "must be taken as a whole, with considerations for the cultural realities of the day.
"Homosexuality is not a choice. Who would choose to adopt a gay lifestyle?"

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton told reporters on Friday that his ankle still isn't healed.
"I can't stress enough that I'm not 100 percent yet. I'm treating it day in and day out," Newton said, via the Charlotte Observer. "But the truth of the matter is I'm happy to be out here to see the production – not only from the offensive side, but the defensive side as well."
I'm sure the Panthers are praying Newton will be healthy when the season rolls around. It will be interesting to see how much he does during the preseason.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
As part of the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint, the six Bay states and District of Columbia vowed to implement the strategies needed to restore the Bay and its rivers and streams by 2025. The states also committed to two-year incremental goals called Milestones. Failure to meet these Milestones can result in federal consequences.
On July 14, 2015, CBF and the Choose Clean Water Coalition published their latest Milestones reports, taking a detailed look at whether or not states are on track to meet their 2017 pollution-reduction targets. (continued)

These Milestones are critical components to restoration efforts because they provide the mechanism to hold government accountable for short-term progress toward their long-term pollution-reduction goals. They enable the states and EPA to identify shortcomings and take corrective action before the deadlines are reached.

*A Possible* Non-Christian teacher suspended after Facebook comments. Right or wrong?
Published: February 16, 2010
A Wake County middle school teacher has been suspended following complaints about disparaging comments she made about her class, Christianity and Southern culture on her Facebook page.
Melissa Hussain, an eighth-grade teacher at West Lake Middle School in Apex, wrote on her Facebook page that it was a "hate crime" that students left a Bible on her desk and how she "was able to shame her kids" over the incident. Her Facebook page included comments from friends saying that the parents of Hussain's students were "bigoted, stupid and uncaring."
Some parents were angry that she was allowed to stay in the classroom, leading them to complain to school board members on Friday. Hussain was later told to leave her classroom on Friday and is not back at the school.
Greg Thomas, a Wake schools' spokesman, said Hussain has been suspended with pay. But he said he couldn't discuss the reason for the suspension because of employee confidentiality rules. School administrators say they are still investigating the situation.
Her Facebook page included comments from friends about "ignorant southern rednecks,"
"I don't defend what the kids were doing," said Murray Inman, a parent one of Hussain's students. "I just couldn't imagine an educator, or a group of educators, engaging in this kind of dialogue about kids."
Hussain did not return calls and e-mail messages Monday.
Teachers across the nation have been suspended or fired because of questionable material posted on their Facebook pages and other online social networking sites.
In 2008, seven Charlotte-Mecklenburg school employees were disciplined and at least one person was fired because of Facebook postings. That led to a memo going to all Charlotte-Mecklenburg school staff warning that offensive postings to social networking sites are grounds for termination or disciplinary action.
The Wake school district doesn't have a policy on the use of social networking sites, Thomas said. But the district does have a code of ethics for employees that the school spokesman says applies to social networking. The code says employees' conduct "should be such as to protect both the person's integrity and/or reputation and that of the school system."
Picture of Jesus
In Hussain's case, the comments in question were on the public side of her Facebook page. She has since limited public access.
Parents of children in Hussain's class said they first learned about the comments last month, leading them to complain to the school three weeks ago.
Parents said the situation escalated after a student put a postcard of Jesus on Hussain's desk that the teacher threw in the trash. Parents also said Hussain sent to the office students who asked about the role of God in creation during a lesson about evolution .
On her Facebook page, Hussain wrote about students spreading rumors that she was a Jesus hater. She complained about her students wearing Jesus T-shirts and singing "Jesus Loves Me." She objected to students reading the Bible instead of doing her work.
But Annette Balint, whose daughter is in Hussain's class, said the students have the right to wear those shirts and sing "Jesus Loves Me," a longtime Sunday school staple. She said the students were reading the Bible during free time in class.
"She doesn't have to be a professing Christian to be in the classroom," Balint said. "But she can't go the other way and not allow God to be mentioned."
Hussain, a 2004 Florida State University graduate, has been a Wake teacher since 2006. Her religious affiliation is not posted on her Facebook page.
'Merry Christmas'
The flash point for the comments came after the Bible was left on Hussain's desk in December. The Bible was accompanied by an anonymous card, which, according to Hussain, said "'Merry Christmas' with Christ underlined and bolded." She said there was no love shown in giving her the Bible.
"I can't believe the cruelty and ignorance of people sometimes," Hussain wrote on her Facebook page.
Hussain also said she wouldn't let the Bible incident "go unpunished."
Her friends soon joined the discussion about the situation. The one who suggested Hussain's "getting even" by bringing the swastika-marred Earnhardt poster to class said it would be "teaching" students a lesson.
"And without a job," Hussain responded. "But I like it!"
Hussain's comments also included one where she complained that she "hates" parents who complain about their child's first B in middle school. She said her husband suggested she start a blog "based on ridiculous students and their parents."
Balint said it was clear to the class that Hussain was talking about her daughter. "I feel violated that she would say those things," she said.
The length of the investigation is frustrating parents.
"My biggest concern is whether the resentment between the students and the teacher will continue for the rest of the school year," said Robert Boretti, whose child is in Hussain's class.
Now here is PinkNC's thoughts:
I personally believe these kids were knowingly being rude to her - just trying to set her off because of her last name (Hussain) and the assumption of her religion because of it, which they assume is NOT Christian like theirs.
Hussain = Equals Muslim or terrorist..........NOT in PinkNC's opinion!
So tell PinkNC.........
Here's the question: Is it right for the teacher to be suspended because of her students behavior - when they cruelly set her off intentionally?

"JUST AT THE EDGE OF THE AUSTIN HUSTLE & BUSTLE" Georgetown by Rich62
Georgetown Travel Guide: 56 reviews and 185 photos
SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY IS a four-year institution with NCAA division 3 sports.
To reach Southwestern from Interstate 35, take exit 261 and go east. You will be on highway 29, also known as University Avenue. Near the east end of town you will see the University on the north side of the street. You can drive your car through the campus. Parking, of course, is at a premium but there are a few visitor spaces marked.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL NEW MALL recently completed in Georgetown. The photo shows some of the many stores available (see more in my "shopping" tips).
To reach Wolf Ranch, take exit 261 and go west a very short distance. You will see it on the south side of the street.
The original property on which the mall was built was indeed a ranch and was called Wolf Ranch. Its nice that they preserved the name.
THERE ARE MANY HISTORIC BUILDINGS in the Georgetown town square, not the least of which is the courthouse itself, in the center of things. There is also a visitor center on the square.
To reach the square, take Exit # 261 and go east on University Avenue until you reach Austin Avenue, then turn north a few blocks and watch for the courthouse on the east side of the street.
- Pros:ITS STILL A SMALL TOWN
- Cons:TOO MANY DEER; THEY EAT EVERYTHING YOU GROW

Mitchell's last outing was a four-round loss to WBO champion Ricky Burns in September, and it's nearly two years since his sensational eight round win over John Murray in Liverpool.
With Anthony Crolla defeating Gavin Rees in Bolton, and Derry Mathews and Tommy Coyle clashing for the vacant Commonwealth title, the East Londoner is eyeing up more big UK belters as he builds to another World title shot.
"It's a great division and I want to get back up there," said Mitchell, who faces a 10-rounder against Frenchman Sebastien Benito (10-6) .
"Where do I see myself in it? I want to be a World champion. I'm not here to mess around and play games, be second best and get stopped in four rounds. I'm in it for the long haul and I want to beat the top boys.
"Anthony Crolla just beat Gavin Rees and they both interest me and I'll be keeping a close eye on the Derry Mathews and Tommy Coyle fight next week – there are some big British dust-ups out there, and I love those fights as much as the fans and TV do.
"I want to correct the loss against Ricky for the World title and become a World champion. I've been out of the ring for too long and it's time to get back in there.
"I feel a lot of relief really as I feel like I've got something to work for and I know in my head that I've made the right decision. I've seen what Eddie has done with his fighters and I want to be a part of it. I won't be having 14 months out from now on."
Mitchell is back with amateur trainer Tony Sims and says he's reaping the benefits of working in his Essex gym, and is looking forward to another night in the spiritual home of boxing.
"I remember when I was a kid training with Tony and it was tough and the attitude was 'do it or go home' and it's the same still which is great," said Mitchell.
"Tony's been working on my defence and combinations and it's been great. Tony's gym is fantastic, the sparring is brilliant – you've got lads like Martin J. Ward and Ryan Taylor plus all the other Matchroom lads that come down, it keeps me on my toes.
"I did some sparring with Luke Campbell last week which was great, he's quick, very good defence and he's top, top class so I'm in a very good place.
"After the big shows I've done at West Ham, The O2 and the SECC, it's a blessing in disguise to be at York Hall with no pressure. I can go out there on Saturday and enjoy myself and put on a show for the fans, York Hall crowds are always special.
"My first fight was in the York Hall when I was 12 – I got a first round KO too – so it's great to be back. But it's about shaking off some ring rust. I've been fighting in proper fights just once a year for around four years really which is just not good for me.
"I need to keep active. I don't necessarily need big fights or even big bills, but I need to keep busy and get rounds under my belt. It's no good having months and months out of the ring then going into big fights with the likes of Ricky, Prescott and John Murray, I can't keep doing that, it's no good for your body.
"My hope is that I get this fight done, have five days off then get back in the gym, another fight early in September then let's have a big domestic fight to finish the year off."
Mitchell's return to the ring tops the 31st edition of Prizefighter, which sees eight light welterweights battle for the £32,000 winner's purse. Erin Arif, Danny Connor, Chris Jenkins, Tony Owen, Charlie Rice, Liam Shinkwin, Ryan Taylor and Matty Tew are the in the hunt. The draw for the night will be made on Thursday.

If you didn't make the Google Glass cut then PicMonkey has something for you.
The photo editing website decided to launch it's own version of the wearable computers, which enables users to edit what they see in front of them.
Including Focal Pixelate, Zombulate and Goslingfy functions, PicMonkey Glass allows people to edit what they see, hands free.
Google added yet another spoof launch to its portfolio with the announcement of Google Wallet Mobile ATM.
The device lets you get cash, ATM-style, by simply plugging it into your smartphone and typing in your pin number.
An entry in the Google Commerce blog said: "The mobile ATM device easily attaches to most smartphones and dispenses money instantly and effortlessly– forever ending your search for the nearest bank or ATM.

New EU legislation could mean the death of the Yorkshire Pudding, according to a story run today by The Yorkshire Times.
The new EU Labelling Directive will require all member states (including the UK) to "provide an accurate product description including an indication of whether the product is a sweet or savoury item," the article said.
Furthermore it prohibits the use of misleading words such as "pudding" on a savoury product or "dinner" on a dessert item meaning a Yorkshire Pudding would have to be renamed a Yorkshire Savoury.
Netflix decided to play on the fact its users can be a little too precise when pinpointing what they want to watch by coming up with some tongue-in-cheek movie and TV categories.
The film-streaming website added a selection of implausible specific categories to each user's account today for its April Fool's Day prank.
Categories included: Movies Featuring An Epic Nicholas Cage Meltdown, Reality TV About People With No Concept Of Reality and Movies That Are In English But Still Require Subtitles.
The White House also had time to create its own April Fools prank.
A post in its Twitter account earlier today told followers to be on the look out for a "special video message from the president".
The video began with a shot of the familiar lectern regularly used by press secretary, Jay Carney, as the presidential entrance march played.
But instead of the president, a small head peeked over the edge of the stand - that of Robbie Novak, who plays "Kid President" in a series of popular YouTube videos.
The Sheffield Star reported that mutts racing at one of the city's dog tracks would be sporting sunglasses from today.
Fears some of the greyhounds' performances were being affected by sight problems caused by glare from the sun as they made their way around the track was behind the decision.
Owlerton Stadium teamed up with Crystal Peaks' Specsavers to develop special protective eyewear, which will not steam up or slip as they battle it out on race days, the article said.
John Gilburn, managing director at Owlerton Greyhound Stadium, said: "We have been noticing for a while that some of the greyhounds have been squinting. We have tried giving them hats or visors to block out the glare - but that's when we realised we should have gone to Specsavers."
The New Statesman said it would be unveiling a brand new look to celebrate its centenary using the nostalgic Comic Sans font.
"Starting today, we'll be replacing our web header and text fonts with Comic Sans, and the magazine will soon change too," a post on its rolling politics blog said.
The magazine said it had taken "inspiration from the past" for the redesign.
Channel 4 news ran the story that London Mayor, Boris Johnson, was planning a sensational return to parliament.
The programme claimed BoJo wanted to stand as Conservative candidate in South Shields - David Miliband's soon-to-be vacant patch and the only conconstituency since the Great Reform Act of 1832 where a Conservative MP has never been elected.
Mr Johnson dismissed the claims as "unbridled balderdash with a side order of roasted piffle" but Channel 4 claimed a source at the London mayor's headquarters said Mr Johnson's dream of becoming the next Tory prime minister was "very much alive" and that "he liked to do things the hard way".
Newcastle University claimed it had landed itself in hot water after deciding to sell the naming rights to some of its buildings.
The story, posted on the university's student union website, said people had been in uproar after arriving on campus to see cranes replacing the university's iconic logo with that of Sports Direct.
Several other historic buildings were also set to see similar name changes, the union said, including the newly crowned Burger King's Hall and Robinson Fruit Shoot Library.
For those fed up with paying extortionate airfares, STA Travel announced today thay it is launching a new SeatShare concept.
The innovative booking class allows two travel companions to share the price of a single fare in a 'two for one' deal.
There are some catches however - SeatShare allows passengers to split the cost of the airfare but NOT the taxes.
As well as sharing their seat, passengers must also share baggage allowence and in-flight meals.
Ever wondered Jodie Marsh's secret to her all over bronzed fake tan? Well, according to The Sun she uses a special varnish from the makers of Ronseal.
Using a special streak-free paintbrush, the 34-year-old bodybuilder has revealed that she covers herself in Tanseal before major competitions to give her the edge of other contestants.
Jodie joked: "It does exactly what it says on the tin."
A school in Scotland is using gas from pupils' farts to fuel its electricity generator, the Daily Record has reported.
After reading the children's book, Princess Pumpalot: The Farting Princess, the school in Edinburgh decided to rig up a hollow cylinder in the toilets to capture farts in a hermetically-sealed container.
Once enough gas is collected, it feeds directly into a power generator.Head teacher, Dr Ralf Piolo, said the idea was not only teaching children about renewable energy but it was also encouraging them to eat a healthy diet of beans and pulses.
He added: "We hope eventually that our template can be run out across the country to the benefit of other schools and communities. At the moment we probably create enough energy to power one radiator for nearly an hour every day."
This brought a smile to our faces back in the UK. American Eagle Outfitters launched their Skinny Skinny jeans line for young men and women today.
Billed as "our skinniest fit yet" shop staff tried to convince unsuspecting customers that the latest fashion craze was spray on jeans for an eye-watering $49.95.
You can watch the hilarious results in the video below.
This was posted after the midday deadline, but given the logistic nightmare it would be, I think we can safely say that Eurovision celebrating its 60th birthday by hosting the contest in three different countries is an April Fool.
A press release on the official website makes the announcement about the 2015 competition saying that it will be a "true pan-European celebration".
The winner of the 59th contest will host the Grand Final and the 2nd and third place the Semi-Finals.
Jon Ola Sand, the EBU Executive Supervisor, claims: "This spreads the costs of hosting, it benefits three different cities and truly brings Europe together."
The release adds that European airlines are also giving away free tickets to all host cities.
If you've ever fancied taking your pet lizard, monkey, goldfish or even BEAR away with you on holiday abroad - now you can.
Calgary-based airline WestJet announced today that it would ease restrictions on travel for pets.
As long as they fit safely on board, pets can now fly in the cabin with you.
National Express announced this morning that triple decker buses will hit the streets in the West Midlands today.
The idea was born from a Harry Potter movie.
Michael Takkin, Head of Product Development at National Express West Midlands, explained: "With petrol and parking prices so high at the minute and the bus providing such good value, many people are turning to us as the best way to get to work.
"So I needed to come up with an innovative way to ensure that these new bus commuters had a comfortable journey to work.
"I was watching Harry Potter with the kids, saw the Knight Bus and thought Eureka!"
According to National Express designers have spent months developing ways to ensure stability given the extra height of the vehicles.
They have developed a spinning gyroscope to keep the bus perfectly upright.
Why should humans have all the fun? Sony Electronics has launched a new line of technology products for pets.
The Animalia range features Sony-branded products targeted at dogs, cats and hampsters and includes the Sony K9 4K TV - a television for dogs featuring a new Dog Enabled Frequency (DEF).
The line-up also features the Sony M3-OW KittyCans adjustable headphones, allowing cats to listen to the likes of What's New Pussycat by Tom Jones and Johnny Cash's Mean-eyed Cat, as well as Sony's new In-Cage Speakers to help motivate hamsters to exercise.
Tom Barret, lead engineer for the Animalia line, said: "Now that there are more households with pets than with children, we are targeting pet owners who want to provide unique entertainment experiences for their furry, four-legged family members."
We're pretty sure this was an April Fool. However, a spokesman for Procter & Gamble is claiming it's for real, according to the Huffington Post. We'll let you decide!
Apparently they've launched a new bacon flavoured mouthwash.
According to the brand's website, Scope Bacon, won't make your breath smell like bacon - it just tastes like it when swished in your mouth.
"It tastes like bacon, while still killing 99.9% of bad breath germs and, it keeps your breath minty fresh 5 times longer than brushing alone," it reads.
Good news for vegetarians too, the mouthwash, which has the tag line, "for breath that sizzles" is made with a synthetic bacon flavoring instead of real bacon.
Kodak claimed it is introducing the world's first Kodak Wrist Kiosk.
Providing all the functionality of a full size Kodak Picture Kiosk, the compact wearable wrist device delivers quality, mini digital prints - right at the end of your arm.
Users can upload photos via a micro SD card, USB or blue tooth and the device is also wi-fi enabled so you can access your photos on Facebook, Flickr, Instagram and more.
Kodak said the product comes with tweezers and a magnifying glass to assist with the handling of the small-scaled prints, photo cards and photo books.

Pretty sure they are doomed. PS3 seems to have not made a profit in a while, Vita still struggling, and their other sectors are collapsing. Nintendo was lucky. They had Mario right off the bat. Then they had Zelda, and Donkey Kong, etc.
I will believe the stream of games when I see it.
