"we have to have some way of putting it all back together again and discovering what is good for all of us"
And equal rights for all people irrespective of race, gender, sexuality, disability or background isn't good for all of us?
*jaw drops in amazement*
"And equal rights for all people irrespective of race, gender, sexuality, disability or background isn't good for all of us?"
Well no, not "all" of "us." It's bad for the guys who are currently enjoying all the spoils. It's bad for guys like Rowan Williams.
would someone just give this idiot a red hat and fishing rod and put him outside with all the other gnomes please….
I firmly predict that society will carry on quite happily. The only thing that's going to fragment in the near future over this issue is the Church of England, where the pendulum appears to have stopped swinging entirely.
Rowan, honey, I'm sure that a slightly bigger threat to society is deluded old men unflinchingly following the orders of their imaginary friends and forcing those actions on the general populace
Fixation with gay rights will "fragment" church.
Or rather . . .
A fragmented church fixates on issues of equality which it cannot fix . . . especially with regards the accession of women and gays to the Bishophood.
Despite all the long winded pompous language this man really is a bit thick!!! Certainly will be a fragmented society if there aren't equal rights. Racial equality is acheived, but if I don't get equal rights and reasonable treatment, as in the more advanced part of the world, I'll be off and working as hard as I can against GB and the Anglican church. You can't get much more fragmented than that. What an idiot.
The Church of England has a long history of favouring the oppresion of women, gay people and non-white people. All that Williams' statement shows is that nothing has changed.
I seem to recall that Lord Shaftesbury, a prominent Tory and an equally as prominent C. of E. Christian, was, with William Wilberforce, also a deeply committed evangelical Christian, heavily involved in the abolition of the slave trade – a trade that mainly involved non-white people, I believe!
What better example of "identity politics" is there than the segregation of LGBT in terms of marriage equality? LGBT are just seeking equal not special treatment, They aren't the ones playing the game of "identity politics".
If I said that black people should sit at the back of the bus I would be playing "identity politics" not black people.
Don't bring the colour argument into it, people are born black or white or chinese, people aren't born gay. You choose to be gay, its your choice!
Therefore if your segregated, then its down to choice not down to the way your born.
Oh dear- he s trying to make out that the Church of England's difficulties are our fault. And he also seems to be saying that the pendulum is swinging back- and that gays are beginning to go back into the closet. Can't see either of them as being correct. By saying that he is going to become more vocal in the coming months- does that mean he is going to try and stir up feelings against us? Has the Church of England learned nothing?
The fixation on religious morality being imposed outside the church is destroying society and also distorting what society is.
Projection on stilts.
What will fragment society is the religious bigots who fight against equal rights for all. These same arguments were made down through the ages when the Abrahamic cults had their backs to the wall. They fought tooth and nail against the idea that the Sun was the centre of our system, They fought against the idea that the Earth was round, they excommunicated Galileo for inventing the telescope, the fought against the emancipation of Black people, they fought against emancipation and education of women, they fought against the vote for women, They burned women all over the world as witches, then there was the Crusades, the Spanish inquisition,… And this idiot has the gall to say equality for Gay people will fragment society????.
Well as ever working as hard, concientiously and diligently against he UK, C of Eand RC as I can with my high intelligence tests, and 100% psychometric tests. Has this thickie actually thoght what would have happened in the war if some of the LGBT had worked against Britain instead of for it? It isn't just Alan Turing, some computer languages were written by trans. peopel for example. Our establishment are just tooooooo thick. I don't think we'll ever win anything again!!!!!
I cannot figgure this man out, is he for equal rights, or for apartheit. Give us equal rights or ……….
Oh Dr Williams, you're most probably not a bad man but do, please just shut up.
I agree, Dr Williams probably is not a bad man.
The shame is that he does such a good job of appearing that he is inhumane and seeks to promote segregation (although I suspect deep down in his heart he agrees with equality …).
Which rather begs the question – why can he not be honest either to himself or society in general and stop peddling a diatribe of inhumanity that contrasts significantly of what his opinions were prior to becoming Primate?
What a deluded old man…and I don't mean physically old. I mean old and atrophied in his heart and mind
And we thought Lord Carey was bad.
I'm sure he said the same thing about the Suffragettes.
Yes, young ones, cleave unto me and my viewpoints lest I be left behind.
Well duh on the whole "if you don't sit fixated on my world views we will not stand together" thing.
You have yet, however, shown any evidence that this is a bad thing™ or that you are the one who is correct to stand your ground in the devide you preceive.
In later news, watter not only wet but annoying to those who decry bathing.
Traditional marriage needs a man and a woman, Gay marriage defines what it is, is a marriage between two gays.
Homosexuals, and such like cannot be defined the same as a man and a woman, as they are not the same, they cannot be equal as man and woman, as they are not equal to man and woman.
That is why everyone should be involved in campaigning against what the Goverment are doing. Mind, IF they do it, they will live to regret it as they wont be power again, Dave and his one side Equality Minister are taking a big risk with their positions, as they will be voted out if they go ahead with this.
One again, Marriage = One Man & One Woman – support this by signing at http://www.c4m.org.uk/
Your posting of a petition against marriage equality on a LGBT website shows just how desperate you are.
You're trying to canvas the support of gays against gay rights !
Probably not the greatest strategy, eh ?
So who are you lot going to vote for, then? All the mainstream parties support equality. So that leaves the fascist parties, which does suggest some synergy between religionists and right wing extremists
"Traditional" biblical marriage = subjugated women and polygamy.
Go read your bible f***wit.

Lets all phone these people number above , maybe pay them a visit and let them say these things to our faces .
Apologise – "misunderstanding"
the above should say
Do not phone them
Do not give them the oxygen of publicity they need
Do not antagonise them, they have already lost
@David . . . we are not going to phone you
We are not going to give you the oxygen of publicity, by giving you the fight you imagine will bolster your numbers
You have already lost the fight, Get used to it.
"Traditional marriage needs a man and a woman"
No, it doesn't.
How is the taste of failure?
Assertion is neither argument nor evidence.
Now bugger off.
Maybe we should start post the website for equal marriage on the C4M website, give them a taste of their own medicine
I don't believe they allow comments there. Happy to troll on this site but afraid of any discussion on theirs. Clearly know that their arguments can very easily be torn apart
No they prevent any comments which do not toe their party line from having any publicity on any website etc that have links to them. They are cowards that are unwilling to engage in debate – they have their position and they do not believe anyone should have the right to point out the errors of their position. They believe indoctrination is more important that facts or evidence. They lack courage. At least PN allows dissenting views and opportunity for debate – PN and LGBT people are not afraid to debate their positions or feel insecure that their argument may lack substance.
But we're not after Gay marriage. We're after being treated equally in marriage. We all pay taxes so we should have the right to choose marriage if we wish to do so.
Marriage = 2 people wanting a commitment and celebrating it. How can that be wrong?
Let's not for get it was religion that redefined marriage in the first place so it is Not tradition at all.
Only religion divides love and denies it to others. Yet happy to create wars, famines, torture etc.. etc.. etc. You'd think that instead of dividing the world the church would welcome a stable loving society.
Yes, as long as we're focusing all of our efforts and attention on upraising straight white cissexual men, we're all pulling TOGETHER! Like galley slaves in a Roman galley perhaps.
The Canon seems to have a better handle on it than his befuddled boss.
Actually, Rowan, it's prejudice, particularly religious prejudice, that fragments society. Equality will lead to more people understanding and respecting each other. Because of your own prejudice, however, you don't want to admit that there are people different to you that deserve the same attention and rights as you do. You think you are entitled to decide who gets treated like a decent human being and who doesn't. That is the self-righteousness of privileged people like you.
I'm glad this bigot will hopefully be out of the public sphere soon.
here's me thinking the bigoted and the hateful have fragmented society!
We haven't been a theocracy since the reformation. What next, only the church can decide who is entitled to a civil right? Who elected him or any of them to represent the people? House of Lords, take note.
Well, the best way to stop focusing on LGBT rights is to simply agree to them and end the discussion. If his suggestion is that LGBT people should just accept second class citizenship, he can go soak his head.
Well his pendulum has certainly swung from left to right, or rather from liberal to conservative.
I wonder how many former Archbishops of Canterbury have ended their days in the nut house?
As with most "learned men" in the church. He keeps up the pretence of belief to keep his pension going.
There are far too many contradictions in that religion for a man of his academic learning to simply ignore.
It just would not look good for him to admit that he is an athiest.
There is a rule of thumb I apply to stories like this one: replace 'Gay' with 'black' and replace 'LGBT' with 'BME' and see how they read then…
Does he mean the CofE and the RC "fixation" with preventing "gay rights" fragments society.
The only ones fragmentting society as far as I can see are the various religions who still have their privaleged historical wealth and status to consitenty resist equality.
Society has always been fragmented but it's a much , much , much better place to live in now than it was years ago for the majority of society.
Even if your premise is right, Rowan, and standing up for equality will alienate the bigots in our society and make them feel bad, that's not our problem. It's THEIR problem. Equality harms nobody – it only makes bigots unhappy. If the bigots then wish to participate in civilized society, they're going to have to get over their bigotry. It's that simple.
So which is it, Rowan? Which is more important – equality or the bigots not feeling uncomfortable because of their bigotry?
Morning Ex ArchBish.
May I ask you how you and your wife "do" sex.
You see, I need to know in order that you can be categorised, and compared with passages in some dusty old texts I may have mis-translated, however that is besides the point.
As the owner of a p3nis I sincerely hope that you have not discussed this topic with your wife as you clearly know Corinthians.
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35)
Do you let you wife into your church Ex ArchBish. T
Then you are a filthy sinner, out to "fragment society."
The "pendulum" can never be swung back.
How would he feel if his own relationship with his wife were the subject of a public national debate, lead by supposedly caring people, focussing one whether it is abnormal, an abomination, immoral, unnatural. obscene, grotesque and a shame on the UK etc etc? And whether it is a threat to the family, children and the whole of society.
With those current attitudes being voiced during the marriage equality debate how on earth can the pendulum be swung back. We can't swing back say the marriage equality debate, the Church and some members of our "soceity" have trashed us and they've been found out and they need to be challenged by all of us.
They are the ones that are fragmentting society by these continued vicious attacks on gay people.
Even most of those in the US who do think that giving women the right to vote in the 19th amendment was wrong and divisive do not think that the pendulum can or necessarily should be swung back to deprive women of those rights of equality.
The Archbishop also demonstrates a complete misunderstanding (in my opinion deliberately so) about human rights. He seems to ignore the fact that rights are not granted to people by governments or organisations. Rights are inate. Rights can be suppressed by states, organisations, religions or individuals – but even when those rights are suppressed they do not mean the rights do not exist. If I were to be religious and lived in a state that did not recognise my faith then my right as a human being to express my faith would still exist even though the state I lived in suppressed that right. If I was detained without trial by a state, that would not mean my right to freedom and to a fair trial did not exist. Suppressing equality is wrong.
And to think how we were all so enthusiastic about this MAN prior to his enthronement , he was billed as a reformer and a hippie , what a disappointment he has proved to be having missed the opportunity to make historic reforms he will go down in history as a ditherer and waste of space. A real shame as the buildings are quite nice , they just need better management cue Jeremy Josephs .
Oh please.
The Church has enough trouble with paedophiles already without JJ.
The Christian religion is fragmenting society with their hate, just look at what the Christians have been doing. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-becker/nom-documents-race-baiting_b_1382267.html
Also how come Anonymous did not expose this? Could it be they wear the mask of the Christian Catholic Guy Fawkes because they are Christians who are the one who are baiting the hook against LGBT people?
What part of the ideal of social justice does he not understand?
Apparently, all of it.
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them high and lowly,
And ordered their estate.
If you believe that's one of the bright and beautiful things about God that keeps society cohesive, well then you're not really going to be enthusiastic about social change, are you?
Poor old duffer, he really keeps putting his foot in it. The only good thing is that not many people are likely to pay him much attention.
Shockingly he's only 61 yrs old.
Blimey – that really is shocking!
It's his swan song as he enters the dustbin of history. He'll be remembered only for his bigotry and utter stupidity. Where is archbishop Desmond Tutu when we need him?
Fixation with gay rights can "fragment" society, Rowan Williams says….
….and coming from someone in an organisation obsessed with gays and what they get up to, I'm sure he has a unique position on the subject.
Clearly what he means is that people banging on about how they want their identity recognised on their own terms reveals the fragmentation that already exists in society but that white, heterosexual, cisgendered men like him don't notice because they don't have to deal with it. And of course we can't have that, can we?
Spoken like a real hetero. Rowan Williams joins long line stupid old bats who will be trotted out for the foreseeable future when news editors need a homophobic quote so their copy seems 'balanced'
Too true, Rowan. Fixation for centuries on the identities of powerful white straight men was so much better. But we got the funny idea when you first got Canterbury that you might challenge some of that hokum. You are such a damp squib.
You have said you are leaving. Could you just belt up and go now, please?
Jog onto retirement bish
Society is like a snake constantly shedding its skin. The old skin dries out, it fragments and falls away, and the snake carries on just fine. Change is painful Rowan, get used to it.
Is Canterbury aware it is missing the village idiot?
It would appear not!
The thing that annoys me about this, is that the only fragmenting of society comes from the refusal of certain people and groups to accept other people. They way he talks you'd think we'd caused it. Years and years of oppression and we finally stand up and say 'no more' and he says this will cause a fragment!! If he got with the programme and supported an inclusive society there would be no discussion of this.
The real social problem is increased and aggressive religiosity, in particular of the Abrahamic faiths, not those seeking to address social injustice.
"This is who I am, these are my rights, I demand that you recognise me."
Accurate description of Christians denying hotel room to gay people, refusing to preform civil partnership or counselling to gay couple. They should really listen to Archbishop Rowans
"Once we (Christians) start saying this is my identity and that's it then I think we are in danger of really fragmenting the society we belong to."
In a sense he's right; but only in the sense that until full equality is achieved society will be fragmented. So the sooner people like him get out of the way, the faster we can fix the cracks.
The documents disposed by NOM in the US show that it is extremist religious organisations that are deliberately seeking to drive wedges between parts of society and fragment it.
I am still waiting for an apology from the Anglican Church for all the hateful lies I was told in my youth. For example, I was told that gay relationships don't last – I have been with my wonderful partner now for 17 happy years. I was told I would end up a lonely old man – perhaps, but not while my partner is alive. I was told I was not welcome in my church – I still go to a gay friendly anglican church. etc etc . When I get an apology Rowan I might not be so angry!
A ridiculous old upper class privileged white man who has lived a cloistered and protected existence actually has the bloody hubris to try and assert insight and authority on the subject of rights for women and minorities?
I'll be over here laughing myself silly.
I hope the PM appoints a replacement that supports equality. Especially a woman, now that women bishops are allowed.
That would be a real first for the UK, a woman Archbishop of Canterbury. Maybe we should start a petition!
A petition to disestablish the CoE would be far better!
Women Bishops aren't allowed.
Ah … women bishops are allowed in the Anglican church of which the Church of England is merely one part …
The Church of England Synod is looking at proposals for women bishops in their denomination.
Since the Archbishop of Canterbury is leader of the entire Anglican Communion including for example the Anglican church in New Zealand (which has female bishops) – why should a female bishop from NZ or elsewhere not seek to be leader of the Anglican Communion?
There are some great women theologians at Oxbridge with gravitas and who believe in equality who would make excellent Archbishops of Canterbury and York. It really is time the national church modernised and appointed from amongst them. Come on Cameron, stand up for equality. Thatcher appointed Carey against the wishes of the church, so make a stand for equality!
In a modern 21st century society, there shouldn't even be a national church. What is the point, what is the relevance? Religion isn't innate, it's chosen, a lifestyle even. I'd like to see a national movement to disestablish the CoE once and for all. Since it refuses to adapt and move with the times, it has no justification for its position in the national life of the country.
I think you will find that recent studies show that religion is innate. Studies of the thought processes of very young infants indicate a belief in a force controlling the environment on their behalf…. Magical thinking is part of psychology…. But as we mature we should grow out of it!
Does he mean his own mind is fragmented and fixated. As far as society at large goes, it would not describe it as fixated with these issues. Sure, they push on in the background, sometimes forwarded as they raise issues about inequality, discrimination and oppression. But if society is fixated about anything it's on money, child safety, terrorism and fear in general. This is a far greater problem for a society which has no idea where it's headed after 25 yrs of unparalleled growth in wealth and inequality.
"Fixation with gay rights can "fragment" society, Rowan Williams says"
So why is that hateful, vicious old bigot Rowan Williams trying to fragment society with his fixation on denying a law-abiding segment of the community our full equallity.
Rowan Williams is bigotted scum.
And he is anti-democratic in his sinister atempts to impose his cult's teaching on all of society.
I notice that the Terrograph are NOT allowing any comments on this story.
Curious, as I have generally seen on its forums that for every religiously indoctrinated buffoon commenting, at least 3 or 4 people are giving "good as they get" replies.
Me thinks they are running scared of there own readership.
That is a good sign. I daresay there are some Daily Mail readers who are doing the same. It's early yet in the equal marriage debate. I think more people will step forward in support of it as it progresses. Negative reporting will eventually be the undoing of the naysayers. They're in the minority let's face it. The majority of the British public aren't even religious.
How come BBC news has not reported this story? Is it because it could damage the church?
I say we should all contact channel 4's Dispatches Programme and question the BBC's over inflated level of attention it pays to religious opinion in general and or the news broadcaster sounds more like the Church's public relations department.
Contact them here: firstname.lastname@example.com
I question the use of the word "fixation" but even so it really doesn't take a genius to work out that if Equality was in place there wouldn't be any "fixation".
The church tries to promote itself on morals yet is in the the one devisive thing we have to contend with.
Some not all I know but what hypocrites.
Seems to me the CoE and RC cults have been fixated for centuries denigrating, villifying, dehumanising and discriminating against gay people and he has the gall to say the "fixation" with gay rights will fragment society? Religion has been the protagonist in supporting discrimination against gay people. What a hypocrite and this idiot is considered "educated"?
Now, that sounds like a bigoted comment. Seems as if he is saying that it was better before people started demanding to be allowed to be who they are. Diversity was not really welcomed 20, 30 years ago and he wants to go back to that?
That's why their numbers are declining. Like the roman cult, they refuse to move into the 21st century and what drives them is the fact that they know their power is waning. It's an act of desperation of an equally desperate cult. It knows it's losing the cultural war and that's not going to change in their favour, thankfully. Wait until someone starts the ball rolling to disestablish the CoE. We can expect even more irrational screaming and ranting. Should have been done long ago.
Seems to me the "fixation" comes from those who wish to deny equality…
Shut up please Rowan
Hey Rowan: change is always painful for conservatives, but it won't kill you or permananently fragment society as you predict. Just remember the US- should they not have emancipated the slaves because it would have split north from south? Well now we have a courageous black president in the US. By your logic he should be on the plantation working for the white master – we wouldn't want to alienate the racists would we Rowan?
straight white males often feel like this
Oh, so black or Asian one's don't?
Fcking racist.
Showing his true colours now, as a fully paid up member of the white, male patriarchy!
Who's "fixated'??
All we want is what everybody else just gets for being a member of the human race.
Some people are just fixated about what happens when they are dead instead of what they should be doing to help the living.
What would have said, if it was about the slave trade?
"Marxism no longer corresponds to Reality" says ex naz! pope in giant hat, who talks to imaginary people in the sky, to the bemused people of Cuba.
Just what planet is this man living on.
What a stupid , arrogant fool he is. He's the one who's trying to fragment society. He's the one with the obsession with minority groups. Martyn has it absolutely right – where does he think he's going with all that facial hair.
I always thought he was gay anyway…
What. A. T****r.
i know cambridge is no longer what it used to be,Hope some of the students of cambridge protest at the tragedy that a man as this should have any input in young peoples lives.
Right… Also some nice old misogyny…..
Well, nothing new I guess….
Yet another example of the complete lack of integrity that is Rowan Williams
The Archbishop would do well to consider some learning from John Locke and other eminent philosophers. John Locke, was an outspoken supporter of equal rights within a governed society. He espoused the natural rights of man, namely the right to life, liberty and property, and he articulated that every government's purpose is to secure these rights for its nationals. He was a social contract theorist, believing that the legitimacy of government relies on consent from its citizens which is given on the basis of equality. Locke's view of equality was not limited to the political realm; he also promoted religious toleration (the phrase toleration here being important in that it could not subjugate others in society for religious difference, but could rightly excommunicate from their own group).
Locke describes the state of nature as one "of equality, wherein all the power and jurisdiction is reciprocal, no one having more than another; there being nothing more evident, than that …
… creature of the same species and rank, promiscuously born to all the same advantages of nature, and the use of the same faculties, should also be equal one amongst another without subordination or subjection". Equality is the driving force of Locke's political theory because it is the basis for our consensual participation in society, a requisite for the establishment of any state. As such, equality is not just necessary in the establishment of government but is also a requisite in maintaining a safe and stable nation. Locke describes the responsibility of the government (specifically the legislative power) as "the preservation of the society, and of every person in it", showing his belief that the obligations of the government are to provide safety and protection to all its citizens equally. Locke wrote A Letter Concerning Toleration, addressing the issue of religious intolerance, a problem that permeated 17th century English society. He was extremely critical of the …
… fervent behavior of people concerning their religious beliefs, particularly of those with "intemperate zeal". He states; "That any man should think fit to cause another man — whose salvation he heartily desires — to expire in torments, and that even in an unconverted state, would, I confess, seem very strange to me, and I think, to any other also. But nobody, surely, will ever believe that such a carriage can proceed from charity, love, or goodwill". Locke suspects that many missionaries and evangelizing magistrates are doing so for personal gain. As Black points out "it is a consequence of his mitigated skepticism that Locke advocates a duty of religious toleration".
The term 'homosexuality' was coined in the late 19th century by a German psychologist, Karoly Maria Benkert. Although the term is new, discussions about sexuality in general, and same-sex attraction in particular, have occasioned philosophical discussion ranging from Plato or Aristotle to contemporary queer theory
Furthermore, the battle for equality is not one that is restricted to the past 10 or 20 years. The issue of womans suffrage goes back centuries in many countries eg Antoine Condorcet's argument in the 1780s that French women should be entitled to vote. Indeed women achieved some rights to vote in New Jersey in elections in 1776 and in Sierra Leone in 1796. The battle for equality and fairness continues, with some countries only permitting womens suffrage recently eg Kuwait in 2005, and others not yet permitting the right to vote eg Saudi Arabia.
The rights for equality in other areas eg race also goes back much further than the 20 years the Archbishop claims eg the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded in 1909 in the USA (there are examples of many racial equality measures sought prior to this in the US and elsewhere).
I believe the Archibishop provocatively tries to sweep away gay rights by using the 20year window as a suggestion that the desire for
… equality is a new thing and a "phase". The reality is that Plato and Locke sought equality and believed that religious observance should not trump fairness and equity in society. I believe the Archbishop is deliberately using this language in a manner similiar to that used by Southern Baptist churches when they sought to promote racial segregation. The Archbishop should be ashamed of himself.
As ever, when my response to something is along the lines of "WTF!", Sarah Cheverton at WVoN manages to be a bit more articulate than me. She says "Identity politics are not divisive. The social conditions that create these movements – generation after generation – are." Simple as.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a wine cellar or spare closet in their home to store wine. No matter where you store your wine - whether you have a wine refrigerator, cellar, closet or carefully stack each bottle in a wine rack somewhere in your house - there's a few basic wine storage guidelines that will help ensure that every bottle in your collection is as enjoyable as possible when you open it.
There are seven important consider-ations for storing wine: darkness, temperature, humidity, orientation, odors, vibration and movement.
Most of the wine sold in the United States is meant to be consumed within two to three years. However, wines including French red Bordeaux, German Riesling Kabinett, and a top California Cabernet Sauvignon (just to name a few) improve with bottle age. Regardless of whether a wine is stored for a short or long time, keep it away from light, heat, and vibration.
Wine should be stored in a dark room, away from any light source. Direct light, especially sun and fluorescent light, can damage wine. UV rays can cause wine to become "light struck," resulting in an unpleasant odor. Darker bottles better protect the wine; some bottles have UV filters built into the glass. But if enough UV rays permeate the bottle, the wine will be ruined. If you can't keep a bottle entirely out of the light, keep it lightly wrapped in a cloth or store the bottle inside a box.
In regard to temperature and humidity, wine should be stored at a cool, but not cold temperature. The best temperature for storing wine is 55°F (13°C) but a constant temperature between 53°-60°F is recommended. A dramatic fluctuation in temperature is harmful to wine. At 75°F, wine begins to oxidize, so keeping the temperature constant is very important. As far as humidity is concerned, 60 percent is ideal. This will keep the cork in a good, pliable condition, preventing it from shrinking and drying out.
Should wine bottles be stored standing up or laid on their sides? Storing corked bottles on their sides allows the wines to stay in constant contact with the cork, preventing it from drying out, which lets air into the wine, spoiling it. In addition, if you store the wine label side up you can easily spot any sediment that may have settled over time.
Excessive motion or vibrations can damage wine. If possible, store wine in a way that doesn't require moving in order to reach another bottle. You should not store wine near generators, washing machines, dryers or motors. Even vibrations from heavy traffic may negatively affect the wine. Also, try to avoid unnecessary transportation of your wine.
Finally, isolate the wine. Avoid storing wine near paint or gasoline. Since wine breathes, strong smells and chemical odors could permeate through the cork and taint the wine. Good ventilation may help prevent musty odors from entering the wine.
Whether you store wine in a cellar, refrigerator, spare closet or other area of your home, remember to adjust the wine's temperature before serving. Right before drinking the wine, allow the temperature to rise or fall to the appropriate serving temperature. Different wines taste best at slightly different temperatures. If you're not sure, give us a call and we'll be happy to guide you.

Despite the primary election being more than a year away, two Peoria City Council members have announced they will explore bids for mayor.
Councilwoman Cathy Carlat, re-elected to a third term last year, announced she had formed an exploratory committee last week.
This week, two-term Councilman Ron Aames formed his exploratory committee.
Such committees are common practice and allow candidates to accept and spend donations and assess public support.
If the last time the city faced an open mayor's seat, about eight years ago, is any indicator, candidates will not begin to formally announce their bids for an additional six months or so.
Term-limited Mayor Bob Barrett, who will leave office in January 2015, said he wasn't surprised Carlat and Aames were interested in running for his seat.
"I'm expecting January or February you'll probably see a few more candidates," Barrett said. "I don't think you'll see them come off the council, but maybe you will."
Any candidate interested in running for mayor has until late May 2014 to submit petitions to get on the ballot.
The city, with just more than 155,000 residents, has seen stable leadership. Barrett's two terms as mayor followed John Keegan, who also served multiple terms.
The city weathered the recession and is beginning to see renewed growth. Among the city's biggest undertakings is to push to attract companies and develop a high-wage employment base.
Officials in Peoria, which stretches from Northern Avenue to Lake Pleasant, have searched for redevelopment in older sections of the city in the south, and new development and amenities in the newer area to the north.
Although it's too early in the race to offer endorsements, Barrett and Carlat often find themselves allies on the council, at times on the opposite side of votes from Aames.
"She is probably the single hardest-working person on the council — and that includes me," Barrett said.
If she opts to run, Carlat has said her primary goals would be to encourage economic development, transparency and protect neighborhoods.
Carlat works in communications at the Central Arizona Project.
The councilwoman would have to resign her seat representing north Peoria's Mesquite District to formally run because she has more than a year left in her term.
Barrett was in a similar situation when he first ran for mayor in 2006. He resigned his council seat about four months ahead of the primary election.
Forming an exploratory committee helped him make the decision, Barrett said.
"When you set up an exploratory committee, you're trying to find out if enough people think it's a good idea," he said. "It also allows you to collect campaign funds. If you can't raise any money in the exploratory phase, you may want to consider other options."
In the 2006 mayoral race, in which Barrett faced a tight race with Councilwoman Pat Dennis, the two each raised $70,000 to $75,000.
Aames would not have to resign because he is about to enter the last year of his term.
Aames, who represents the Palo Verde District in the central part of the city, was elected to the council in 2006 and 2010.
The councilman said he will not seek another council term as he sets sights on the mayor's seat.
"I think I would be an excellent mayor for the city and I do want to serve in that capacity," he said.
His fellow council members chose him to serve as vice mayor in 2010 and 2012.
Aames said his primary goals as mayor would be to keep spending focused on core city services, review the possibilities of lowering or eliminating some city taxes and to bring more businesses and jobs to the city.
Aames said he would also focus on fighting crime and developing a better transportation system in the city and region.
Aames has a business background and worked for the Gallup Organization from 1994 to 2005. He was the managing consultant for the organization when he retired. He moved to Peoria in 2002, working from a local office for his last few years. He now works as an independent consultant.
Educationally, Aames has a diverse background in business that helped support his career. He has a Ph.D. that focuses on urban development from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master's from California State Polytechnic University-Pomona.

The Dos and Don'ts – Newborn Baby Care [PICS]
Posted on Apr 11, 2008 | Comments 67
Becoming a good parent means much more than knowing a lot about babies.
Ask pediatric doctors or nurses what it was like for them to be new parents. They will tell you that all their knowledge about babies was not enough to keep them from being overwhelmed by their own babies.
All new parents feel the same way. All new parents work at knowing, understanding, and loving their babies.
If you want to learn all about your new born baby care, and be able to respond to his/her needs appropriately – it is going to take a lot of your time.
In case you are a young mother or father, having difficulties in putting the baby to sleep or feeding him, these instructions are the clearest you can get.
Here are some dos and don'ts when it comes to caring for the baby!
Safe Baby Handling Tips by David Sop, Kelly Sopp
Enjoy learning how to respond to your baby – don't expect to do everything perfectly – even if you've read all the books on what to do – your baby hasn't and no baby is a text-book case.

Ottawa Senators coach Bryan Murray says that the Anaheim Ducks are hooking and holding forecheckers and hacking and whacking goaltenders...just as they did against the Red Wings.
His source? Scotty Bowman:
May 30, Ottawa Sun: "They got their physical play from good dump-ins and us not holding anybody up," Murray said. "Their first man in, got the hits. That was the main part. The other part is when people are standing around in front of the net trying to defend and they're hammering away at our defencemen, as well as our goaltender. Those are two areas that concern me.
"And, I guess, we'll have to adjust our style and get back to holding up their forechecker better with our man, because it's obvious that it's not being called. We have to encourage our guys to do it. Those are areas that help or hurt aggressive play. When they got in time after time and got a chance to run a defenceman on a clean shot, it's difficult for the defenceman to make a play."
Murray said he spoke with former Detroit Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman prior to Monday's game about the way the Ducks play. Murray said Bowman told him that the Senators had to be ready for the Ducks being allowed to get away with illegal tactics.
"I just talked to some of the Detroit people and they just told me this is the way it went (in the Western Conference final)," Murray said. "I guess it should have been clear in my mind this is what's going to happen and we'll be allowed to do likewise."

20% of the world's CCTV cameras are to be found in the UK. The existence of CCTV footage is now an integral part of any criminal investigation. Any police officer reporting a crime is required to establish whether there are cameras positioned locally, and whether any footage has been recorded.
CCTV tapes are seized on a regular basis, whether or not they contain anything useful. The vast majority of footage is recorded in time-lapse in a multiplex format. This means that one tape will often contain footage from a large number of cameras. This footage will not be 'live time' unless an incident has been specifically filmed by the operator.
This causes a number of problems. Criminal incidents, by their very nature, often happen quickly. Footage in time lapse, assuming the camera was pointing the right way, more often than not merely shows 'snap shots' of the incident concerned. Figures can be seen from a distance doing 'something'. This footage will show that some kind of offence has taken place. It is more than useless for the purposes of finding out who did it.
Identification of the suspect is a key part of criminal law. The prosecution is required to prove that a crime has been committed, and that the person charged was the person who did so. Identification is therefore a complex area. As can be seen above, unless an incident has been filmed live, identification is rarely assisted by CCTV.
Live time CCTV footage often provides compelling evidence. This is very useful should the suspect have been arrested. If not, you are left with the footage to work with. This relies on the line of sight being clear, and the facial features of the suspect being seen. This can often be frustrated by head or facial coverings, and more commonly, the suspect not looking in the direction of the camera. Even if there is good footage of the face, this person still needs to be identified. Pictures are often circulated in police publications with very little success.
CCTV viewing occupies a dis-proportionate amount of police time with very little tangible result. This fact is well known to street criminals. The deterrent effect, as with any negative, is very difficult to gauge. Taking account of this, the question must be asked - Are the powers that be justified in deploying so many CCTV cameras?

The 49-year-old Moyer (1-2) threw seven masterful innings and Dexter Fowler hit a two-run homer, helping the Colorado Rockies hold on for a 5-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.

Of all the booty shorts we have tried, these fit my daughter best and they stay in place. They don't ride up to let her booty hang out of the bottom like some other booty shorts we have had.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
Cute shorts with a higher waist (compared to the super low booty shorts) with a thicker waist band. My daughter actually folds/doubles the band over and they look really comfortable. These don't run as small as many of the booty shorts do - I found them to run true to size.

Warner Brothers admits making false takedown requests
Firm makes admission during Hotfile case
BIG MEDIA OUTFIT Warner Brothers has admitted in court that it asked Hotfile to take down material that it did not own.
The film studio made the admission in a federal court, according to a report at Torrentfreak, and revealed that it had removed files from Hotfile for which it did not own the copyrights.
It used a scatter gun approach to takedown requests, apparently, and sometimes it removed files by mistake. The firm also admitted that one of its workers took down open source software that could be used to speed up downloads from the web site.
The case is a murky one. Hotfile gave Warner Brothers access to its web site after the company complained that its copyrighted material was being shared on its web pages. Hotfile soon complained that the media firm was abusing this right, and the result is what we have in front of us now.
"Warner has made repeated, reckless and irresponsible misrepresentations to Hotfile falsely claiming to own copyrights in material from Hotfile.com," said Hotfile in a complaint published by Torrentfreak.
Warner Brothers admitted that this was true, and said that it did not always accurately check the contents of files, and thus made a number of errors.
"Warner admits that, given the volume and pace of new infringements on Hotfile, Warner could not practically download and view the contents of each file prior to requesting that it be taken down through use of the tool," it said.
"Warner admits that, as one component of its takedown process, Warner utilizes automated software to assist in locating files on the Internet believed to contain unauthorized Warner content."
Warner Brothers has asked that the claims be dismissed and argued that even though it took down some content falsely, this did not mean that some other copyright holder might not have done the same thing. µ

Gin shot this short 35 minute step workout as a learning tool for her classes at Kaiser Permenente. With many first time steppers, she selected music with a slow tempo of 110 beats per minute. To provide a gradual progression, the workout was increased in speed by 5% in the 3 additional versions of the workout. While we considered fully packaging this for retail, this workout confirmed that it was time to invest in a new camera!

Back Cover:
Have you ever attempted a step workout and ended up feeling totally uncoordinated – like you have 2 left feet? Unless you started stepping back in the early 90's, it can be difficult to jump right into a step workout and feel successful. The good news is, it's not necessarily you! It's more than likely just a matter of REACTION time.
With stepping typically performed at higher rates of speed today, there's little time to mentally process and react without feeling like you're tripping over your own feet. In learning any new activity, your brain has to process what may be unfamiliar terminology and then send a message to your working muscles to execute the patterns.
Gin Miller's Step Reaction gives you a chance to get up to speed and feel like you can succeed! This 35 minute* workout offers 4 different beats per minute (BPMs) to allow you to start slow as you learn, then gradually increase in music tempo over time.
In fitness progression, it is recommended that you adjust one variable at a time – the variables for increasing intensity are range of motion, step height and speed.
At slower speeds, you should first increase range of motion and then increase step height. When you advance in speed, you may need to lower the step height and decrease range of motion initially – but as you adjust to the new tempo, you can again increase range of motion followed by an increase in step height.
Workout 1 – 110 bpms Novice
Workout 2 – 116 bpms Beginner
Workout 3 – 122 bpms Intermediate
Workout 4 – 128 bpms Advanced
*Workout times & BPMs are approximate

LOGAN TWP. — Robert Fisicaro, who was principal at Logan Township Elementary School for the past five years, has left his role there to take on a position with the state department of education reform teacher evaluations.
Fisicaro recently finished his dissertation, which focused on teacher evaluation reform, a subject he had first-hand knowledge of from his years leading the elementary school, where he began a brand-new form of evaluation.
"We moved from a very traditional form to our own form of evaluation," said Logan Superintendent Pat Haney. "We really morphed it into our own."
The program, which was designed by Fisicaro, began by establishing a committee that included both teachers and administration. It is an ongoing evaluation that establishes clear objectives for teachers to follow, includes student learning outcomes and is differentiated for tenured and non-tenured teachers.
"We wanted a clear picture of the criteria on which teachers would be evaluated," Fisicaro said. "We were establishing very clear objectives."
With the state aiming for changing how teachers are evaluated, Gloucester County Superintendent Robert Bumpus took notice of the work they were doing in Logan Township and recommended that the program be examined further and representatives from the department of education visited the district twice in the past school year.
"They came down to visit and were so impressed with Bob's leadership and with how my teachers reacted," Haney said. "They decided to move in the direction of piloting the program in nine schools and Contacted Bob Fisicaro and offered him the position to coordinate the pilot."
Fisicaro left his post in October and Carol Vita has been running Logan Elementary as the interim principal while the district searched for a long-term replacement, which they decided on last week.
Catherine Kelly, a resident of Mullica Hill and long-term principal of Middle Township Elementary School in Cape May County, will take over the position December 28.
Kelly's seven years of experience leading a kindergarten through second grade district was instrumental in the board choosing her and the proximity to her home was instrumental in her decision to accept.
"A big part of my job is also being part of the community and living an hour away from where I work has made that difficult," Kelly said.
She looks forward to continuing the work the teachers and administration are doing in Logan Township and hopes to be able to add to it positively.
"I'm hoping to continue to lead the outstanding programs that are already in place," Kelly said. "I would like to continue them and look forward to the future."

Hump-nosed viper,Merrem's hump-nosed viper,hump-nosed pit viper,Oriental hump-nosed viper,hump-nosed pitviper,kunakatuwa (Sinhala)
Found in dense jungle and coffee plantations in hilly areas.Found active during early morning and night. Spends the day in leaf litter and thick bushes. This species can be found on the stream side basking during the sunrise. Although its a slow mover, is capable of fast strikes. It has an irritable disposition and will vibrate its tail when annoyed.Described as nocturnal, terrestrial and aggressive when disturbed.
Bites from this species, although previously thought to be innocuous, are now known to cause serious complications such as coagulopathy and acute renal failure (ARF). If not treated within a few hours, bites can potentially be fatal for human being.
