US: Utah man says he went on hunger strike 'to expose the hatred of the homosexual movement'

Reader comments
To be fair, some of the response that people tweeted and posted in comment sections on articles were appalling and really didn't do a lot for us in terms of retaining the moral high ground.
It's just such a shame that by coincidence of events he might be deluded enough to think that his hunger strike had any influence on the actions of the Supreme Court.
Some people are gay,get over it.How come no one goes on a water strike?
Expose HIS hatred, more like.
Btw, what is this homosexual movement? How does one do it? Perhaps I've done it without knowing.
Took the words right out of my keyboard!
I can swish……does that count?
You do the actions to 'I'm a little teapot' and then wiggle your hips :)
He exposed the hate within himself and the cult of Moroni he belongs to, and told the world that he is a self hating closet case with a low IQ, nothing more.
Orwell used to call this kind of bullshlt double speak.
He went on hunger strike because of his own hatred of the 'homosexual movement' – whatever that is.
Quite right. I'd also suggest that a privileged American going on a short lived seasonal diet is hardly a legitimate hunger strike, and to do so in the name of denying equal rights to others is an insult to genuinely oppressed people around the world who have taken such measures to try to reclaim the very rights that people like him (moronic theocrats) took away in the first place.
I refuse to tolerate someone who views me as lesser than himself and wants to use the legal process to keep me in a lesser place in terms of rights. I wonder if he viewed women wanting the vote as hateful, or Martin Luther King.
And what about the hatred of the "religious movement" towards homosexuals? You could fill up entire libraries with examples of it without having to make a hunger strike.
He probably considers anything but condescending fake concern about his pathetic hunger strike as hateful and intolerant.
I doubt he has ever been on the receiving end of real hatred, unfortunately.
what a chump. equal rights must jar with religious wingnuts! do they not understand there is no concerted movement and only an agenda of equality? so he dies of hunger for a contrived myth, big deal! and one less wingnut to flick a finger at!
I don't hate you, love the sinner, not the sin (of judging others) ;)
What frustrates me about people like this is the massive black hole into which irony and rhetoric disappears. He did this to "expose the hatred of the homosexual movement". Let's see now……..many of the comments about his actions came from the heterosexual press, the majority of whom thought he was ridiculous in his actions. The torrent of comments from the gay press were mainly just pointing out how ridiculous his actions were. There were very few comments that I read that were full of straightforward hatred ("die @$$hole" was a typical US one). I'd say these haters were about the same percentage you'd get on any site about any subject, so his rationale holds no water. And as someone else on here pointed out, the State of Utah hasn't yet ruled against same sex marriage, they've just put the ruling off, which means he should still be on hunger strike. And all this nonsense – because it's nothing more than that – is in the name of religion. Sheesh!
If Meacham's silly "hunger strike" has exposed any hatred, it has exposed only his hatred for homosexual people. His so-called "hunger strike" has also displayed the intelligence of the gay community in seeing through his ridiculous charade.
I really hope he ends up on permanent hunger strike really soon.
All LGBT people have to do to "expose the hatred" of the US conservative movent is to draw breath.
A complete idiot. No brains, no compassion, no humanity. What will be his future ? None ?
To support his idea of "hatred" there should be several million people on hunger strike. In addition to giving his opinion some validity, that would help reduce US obesity stats and (if the uneaten food were distributed to the poor) to reduce world hunger.
'The hatred of the homosexual movement'????!!!!
With the hatred we are on the receiving end of from religionists like him, the irony is rich.
He is lying. His stated goal has shifted after the event. What a complete waste of space.
Of course, he would know a thing or two about hatred since his Moronic cult forked out $22 million+ to make sure Prop. 8 passed in California. Pot calling the kettle black. Twisted loon.
What is these people's obsession with 'gay'? It must be patently obvious to tosspots like him that his 'god' couldn't give a monkey's what two consenting adults do with their love life because he's far too busy allowing innocent children to get cancer and throwing killer storms at the USA. So, this man's alleged religious belief cannot possibly be the driver behind his vile homophobia. The ONLY plausible answer is that he is struggling with inner-angst about his own same-sex attraction which he is then spewing outwardly. He should just accept who he is and end the self-delusional belief that he is acting on behalf on some sky fairy.
His faith can be the driver. Christianity and its sister faiths are built on a vicious and violent beginning, not to mention being massively misogynistic to boot. Ironically the closest modern group to what the message of the Bible actually is are the Westboro Baptist Church, with their message of "Obey or die!! Obey!!" It's not a pleasant text, indeed it's actually incredibly depressing, with its repetition and prophesying of calamity for disobedience mixed with tales of innocents being massacred or threatened with such. It's no wonder so many that follow that book end up messed up when it comes to their ethical value system. Same with the Qu'ran.
Hah! Projection much.
He's changed his story after the fact to paint himself as a martyr rather than a bigoted whinging narcisist.
No-one is buying his BS, primarily cause the only tangeable impact gay marriage has had on his life is the one he chose of his own free will, i.e. starving himself to get his own way.
I've witnessed toddlers throw more convincing tantrums in the local supermarket. Most people grow out of it by age 5.
Moronic Mormons will be celebrating today. Utah's Governor just invalidated all of the same-sex marriages in the state. What a screwed up system in America.

Day Nineteen :
Slept well for a change. Had a late night, but I did sleep solidly! Got up around 10am again, to run to class, skipping breakfast. Didn't feel like eating, so I listened to my body.
Class, the hit lunch. Lunch for me was a piece of chicken, cause I knew that I would be having a late lunch with some friends form Australia, and that for me was a salad with a little greek feta thrown in, and an orange juice. First time I have had juice since I started this! It was a nice change but back to water for me. Someone once said for me not to drink my sugar, and it was sound advice!
Walked around with my friends in the heat, so thats another hour - to - hour and a half of moderate exercise. Tomorrow is my big walking day, so I should cover it fine. Looking for a chin up bar, and then I need to get some more movement down! Fridge is still on its way... so thought it would be here by now!
Dinner was a few slices of watermelon, and after writing this, I am thinking about going and making up a salad. I think there are a few hard boiled eggs on offer, so I may have one or two... Should fill me up :)
Finished my Protein Balls, so I will go out and get some more ingredients tomorrow. Heading out over the sabbath gain, so I will write up my exploits Saturday night, when I get back. This will be a test, cause I didn't warn them I am Primal, but I feel I have a good handle on it now, and I should be able to deal with it. I'll still be taking my nuts, just in case!
Thats it for todays report! If you spot something I could be doing better, please let me know! Im asking, so anything you can share will be eagerly appreciated! As mentioned before, would love any advice, words, anything that would make this go as quickly and honestly as possible. If I know I can share, I know I cant cheat!
Day Nineteen done! Day Twenty is around the corner! Kinda like my own thirty day challenge, but for life!!
Love you all... you just didn't know it!

A 21-year-old Pelham man has been charged in connection with the break-in of a Walgreens on Valleydale Road early Tuesday morning, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office said today.
He also faces charges in connection with attempted break-ins of two other drugstores.
Zachary Reed Lott, who was detained for questioning Tuesday after deputies discovered someone had knocked out a window and entered the Walgreens, has been formally charged with burglary, the sheriff's office said.
Lott is also charged with three counts of possession of burglar tools and three counts of first-degree criminal mischief and obstructing justice by using a false identity.
Shortly after finding Lott hiding in a nearby neighborhood, deputies discovered that someone had tried to break into Walgreens on Doug Baker Boulevard and the RiteAid in the 4500 block of Valleydale Road.
Lott is being held in the Shelby County jail on bonds totaling $80,000.
The sheriff's office said it does not believe at this time that any narcotics were taken during the burglary or attempted break-ins.
Editor's note: New charge added and bond amount changed at 7:07 p.m.

Tim Marchman drops the hammer on the AL MVP voters:
The selection, announced yesterday, of Minnesota first baseman Justin Morneau as the American League's Most Valuable Player is dumb and indefensible, good evidence of why no one takes baseball writers seriously. Morneau wasn't the best, or the second-best, or the third-best player among first basemen and designated hitters. He wasn't the best or second-best player on his own team. He wasn't even the best player with the initials "JM" on his own team. (You take the guy with 130 RBI and I'll take Joe Mauer, a Gold Glove-caliber catcher who led the league in batting average, and we'll see who wins more games.) He wasn't one of the five best players in the division. He wasn't one of the 10 best players in the league.
I always used to eagerly anticipate the postseason awards, but now find myself disillusioned by the baseball writers' repeated errors in judgement. With more information at their disposal than ever, they keep making the same mistakes. I mean, Trevor Hoffman finishing second in the NL Cy Young? Joe Mauer finishing sixth in the AL MVP?
Unfotunately, it's not limited to baseball. After awarding the Best Picture to that after-school special known as Crash last year, the Academy Awards is just as dysfunctional an institution as the BBWA. And neither the Grammy or Tonys have mattered for decades. I wonder why these institutions keep making worse and worse decisions. Politics? Groupthink?

Maybe the circuit needs to be expanded to have a series switch element and a shunt switch element rather than depending on just the series element. Going compound like that often results in significantly better performance (same thing in filters) than the physical limit of the simple single element circuit. Of course that does make the driving circuit more complex. 73, Jerry, K0CQ _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec

Erykah Badu was absolutely fantastic. She rocked the house and laid some tight beats while maintaining her smooth, cool, and free spirited style. Her distinctive and groovy voice sounded like I was listening to her CD's. I must admit that Erykah can beat-box like no one else. She took it Old School when she sang some verses from NWA, Tupac (just to name a few). And of course, the crowed loved her and screamed when she sang some of her old tunes.
The venue was cool. Good acoustics, although the seating was a bit odd for a concert. All in all, if you like Erykah Badu and you have a chance to see her…then go.

I was throughly disappointed. Not only was she over an hour late she sang shit. The worst concert I've ever been to. My friend and I decided to put ourselves out of our misery so we left early.

Erykah was amazing!!! The venue is nice but seating in the 4th tier is tedious. It's a long table with 5 chairs on each side so that you can have dinner if you like but you are not facing the stage and if you aren't careful you aren't seated...continued

I Love Erika Badu, this was my first time seeing her perform live. However, I was disappointed with the fact she was an hour and 15 minutes late. Concert was supposed to start at 8, band came on stage at 9:15 and performed a 20 minute...continued
Grammy winning artist and cultural icon Erykah Badu will play the Grove of Anaheim. Badu is known worldwide for her incredible fusion of jazz, hip hop and R&B and musical styles deeply entrenched in African American roots.
Multi-talented Erykah Badu hypnotized the music scene in 1997 with her double Grammy-winning debut album Baduizm which debuted at No. 2 on the national charts; the highest debut of a new female artist at that time. Her style drew immediate comparisons to legends such as Billie Holiday, and later to Bessie Smith, Marvin Gaye and other prominent African American artists. By coupling her diverse training in performance and visual arts with her sociopolitical and philosophical consciousness, Erykah Badu has continued to carve out and transform R & B music into a positive force to be reckoned with. Badu has gained notoriety as highly uplifting, conscious performer dedicated to increasing awareness about issues facing the urban community while continually evolving her musical styles.
In 2008, Erykah released New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), the beginning of an album series tackling current sociopolitical issues while pulling musical styles from the '40s, '50s, and '60s. AllMusic.com states, "Immediately moving and yet rather bewildering,New Amerykah, Pt. 1 is an album that sounds special from the first play."

Flood recovery, economy and education expected to highlight new legislative session
January 10, 2014
State Sen. Scott Renfroe hopes that the new Colorado legislative session beginning Wednesday isn't as divisive between the two parties as last year's session.
"I pray it can't get worse," said Renfroe, R-Greeley, who will be serving his last year in the Senate because of term limits. "Last year was unbelievable. It was sad what happened last year. In my life, I've never seen citizens come to the capital and not get to testify on a bill, and that happened last year."
Between new gun control laws and renewable energy standards, the Democratic majority in the House and Senate didn't make a lot of friends on the other side of the aisle.
Renfroe thinks the new session, which runs until May 8, will be a quieter one because 2014 is an election year.
Colorado House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, said in a telephone interview that last year's session wasn't as rancorous as portrayed.
"Ninety-four percent of the bills that passed last session passed with bipartisan support, and my goal this year is to see if we can even surpass that with the amount of bills we have with bipartisan support," Ferrandino said. "Inside the glass, I didn't see that bitterness. We had 27 new members in the legislative House last year. That definitely changed some of the dynamics. I think over the last year some of those relationships are stronger between Democrats and Republicans because of arguing bills and coming to respect each other."
Ferrandino said the three major issues for the upcoming session will be the flood recovery, economy and education.
He noted that Colorado is one of the fastest-growing states for job growth and is ranked in the top five in the country, and that there are jobs out there.
"We have to make sure we're growing a stronger, more secure economy, one that is built from the middle out," said Ferrandino, who will also be serving in his last legislative session due to term limits.
He mentioned the bipartisan flood recovery committee that includes six Democrats and six Republicans and is chaired by two Weld County lawmakers — Renfroe and Rep. Dave Young, D-Greeley.
"There are things that we can do legislatively both to help the people who have been impacted, and to prepare for future floods and make sure we're better prepared the next time. The flood waters didn't discriminate between Democrat or Republican counties or Democrat and Republican houses," Ferrandino said.
As far as education, Ferrandino said there have been significant reforms in the education field despite the failure of Amendment 66 that would have increased taxes by almost $1 billion annually, and that the Republicans have announced some things they'd like to see.
"I think there is some common ground there as we move forward," Ferrandino said.
Renfroe, who is the ranking Republican on the Education Committee, said there is a $1.1 billion surplus in the state education fund that needs to be addressed.
Two local representatives — Rep. Steve Humphrey, R-Severance, and Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins — did not respond to telephone calls or email requests seeking their legislative goals for 2014.
Here are some of the bills local representatives plan to sponsor when the new session begins.
Young is sponsoring a bill in the 2014 legislative session to reduce a burdensome property tax paid by thousands of Colorado businesses. The bill, which Young will co-sponsor with Rep. Dianne Primavera, D-Broomfield, is expected to be introduced in the early days of the new legislative session. The bill would allow business owners to claim a refund on the taxes they pay on the first $25,000 of business personal property.
Unlike previous attempts at a business personal property tax reduction, this bill would not cut into the revenues of local governments and school districts.
"This bill will help thousands of Colorado businesses, including hundreds that were impacted by the September floods," Young said.
Another bill Young will sponsor with Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, is the continued funding of advanced industries off the success of the bipartisan House Bill 13-1001 "The Advanced Industries Accelerator Act."
Young said the economic development legislation is creating new highly-skilled jobs, increasing exports, driving innovation and capital investment, among other development activities.
He said $3 million has been awarded to some of those applicants who applied for grants.
"We have the structure in place for the grant program. This piece is how do we continue to fund it? We've had this overwhelming response," Young said.
Young will also sponsor a bill that is connected to flood recovery and how schools in disaster areas could get priority so they get money right away and waive any matching requirements in funding mechanisms such as the Building Excellent Schools Today program or FEMA assistance.
Renfroe will once again sponsor a red-light camera bill to end the use of red-light cameras and photo radar, although the photo radar would still be allowed in work zones.
"Potentially, I could have some strong co-sponsors this year where that bill might have a little bit of life and a little support across the aisle," Renfroe said.
Renfroe said when looking at the studies, it's a revenue enhancer for cities but it doesn't increase safety.
"Studies show that it increases accidents," Renfroe said. "I think there are other things we can do at intersections to increase safety. We can time our lights better. We can have longer yellow lights."
Renfroe will also carry a bill that will try to take the power away from the governor to ban the sale, transportation and possession of firearms during an emergency.
"I'm going to try to restrict some of his powers within an emergency when it deals with firearms," Renfroe said. "Right now, if he declares an emergency of any type he could ban the sale of firearms and the carry of a firearm, which I think is unconstitutional and tramples our Second Amendment."
Renfroe will sponsor a bill that will incorporate some recommendations off the study funded two years ago and recently released from Colorado State University of the South Platte River (flow of the Platte, surface water, ground water, etc.) and senior water rights.
Buck said she will once again co-sponsor a bill with Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, for non-victim, non-violent felons who have paid back their restitution and completed community service.
If, after five years, they haven't done anything wrong, they can submit a request to the district attorney and the judge to get their rights back to vote and own guns.
"If you're late on your sales tax you could become a felon," Buck said. "If you trespass at 16 years old, you are a felon for life. If you write a bad check, you're a felon."
A bill that Buck wasn't ready to address that she plans to sponsor is the medical tort reform bill, but it's not ready to be rolled out.
Saine said a lot of her focus will be on gun issues and energy issues.
"For example, I'll be sponsoring the repeal of the magazine ban. Magpul (a firearms accessories and complete firearms designer and manufacturer based in Erie) is in my district and they're moving to Texas and Wyoming," Saine said.
The company made good on its threat to leave Colorado after the legislature passed a law last year that banned weapons magazines with more than 15 rounds.
"I want to repeal that bill passed. No limits on our Second Amendment rights," Saine said. "Two-hundred jobs just in my district are exiting. It has a huge impact. It's something like $80 million a year to the state."
Saine said she will also carry a bill to repeal SB 252, the bill that doubled the renewable-energy target for rural electric cooperatives from 10 percent to 20 percent by 2020.

Law Cancellation & Withdrawal Policies
Add/Drop Classes Policies
Cancellations occur when a student decides not to attend classes for a semester prior to the first day of classes for that semester. A student's schedule cannot be cancelled on or after the first class day. Cancellations and related refund requests must be in writing, addressed to the Cashier's Office, One Bear Place #97048, Waco, TX, 76798-7048, or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com and made prior to the first day of classes for the semester. For cancellations, all tuition, fees, and meal plans will be refunded at 100%. If a student has a housing assignment on campus, Campus Living and Learning will determine the refund and any related fees. The student must contact CLL at 254-710-3642 to inform that office that they will not attend. Additional contact information is available online. Financial aid for the term is cancelled and returned to the programs.
Beginning the first class day of a semester, students who are financially settled must schedule an exit interview with a representative of the Paul L. Foster Success Center (PLFSC) in order to withdraw from the University. For a nursing student on the Dallas campus to withdraw from the University during a semester, the student must secure clearance from the Associate Dean prior to scheduling an exit interview.
The mandatory exit interview can be scheduled in person, by phone, or by email. Go to www.baylor.edu/support_programs/exitinterview for the contact information and steps to complete the withdrawal process. Any other procedure will lead to failure in all courses for which the student is registered. Under no circumstance does notification to professors or dropping classes constitute an official University Withdrawal.
The effective University Withdrawal date is established by the date on which a student schedules an exit interview with the Paul L. Foster Success Center. The date the appointment is scheduled may be different than the actual date of the interview.
Students receiving scholarships or other financial aid should contact a financial aid counselor to discuss the financial implications of a University Withdrawal.
If the student fails to schedule an exit interview with the PLFSC and simply stops attending, then tuition, fees, meal plans and other applicable charges will not be adjusted on the student's account. Financial aid credits, however, may be reversed as required by federal regulations.
Under no circumstances does notification to professors or dropping classes constitute an official withdrawal from the University.
Refunds are applied to any outstanding balance owed the University. Any remaining credit will either be sent by direct deposit (if bank account is designated in BearWeb) or mailed to the student at his/her home address listed in BearWeb.

A payment period is defined as the total number of calendar days in the semester or term (published first day of class through the published last day of finals) excluding the five calendar day Thanksgiving break and the nine calendar day spring break. There are no refunds after the 60 percent point of the payment period. Unless specifically noted, other fees are considered non-refundable. For a calendar schedule of refund percentages, please refer to the following withdrawal schedule pages:
Unused Dining Dollars are refunded.
Meal plan refunds are calculated pro rata based on the official withdrawal date. An administrative charge equal to one week of the meal charge for the student's respective meal plan will be assessed.

SB170 - Flexibility in School Calendar and PIRD (Mangan (D) - Great Falls)
A new law has been added to Montana's statutes that will affect home schools in Montana. Intended to modify Montana education laws to provide greater flexibility for public school districts in setting their annual attendance calendars, SB170 also includes significant changes to non-public schools - as referenced below.
SB170 was the result of the Public School Renewal Commission report to the Education and Local Government Interim Committee (special committee that met between sessions). SB170 was sponsored by Senator Mangan. It passed the Senate Education Committee 11-0 and the full Senate 50-0. In the House it passed the Education Committee 14-2, and the full House 93-6. It was signed into law March 30, 2005 and will take affect July 1, 2005.
Currently all children 7-16 years of age in Montana are subject to compulsory attendance laws. Montana law provides exemptions to the compulsory attendance laws in 20-5-109 MCA. SB170 modifies one of the subsections of 20-5-109. Presently subsection 20-5-109(2) states:
(2) provide at least 180 days of pupil instruction or the equivalent in accordance with 20-1-301 and 20-1-302
After July 1st, this subsection will read:
(2) shall provide at least the minimum aggregate hours of public instruction in accordance with 20-1-301 and 20-1-302
For years all schools in Montana were required to provide 180 days of pupil instruction. Because many of the school districts recognized the advantages of a flexible school year, and that the number of days could be replaced with the existing total minimum hours, they campaigned for the 2005 legislature to drop the 180 day requirement.
Section 2(9) of SB170 also defines 'minimum aggregate hours':
(9) (a) "Minimum aggregate hours" means the minimum hours of pupil instruction that must be conducted during the school fiscal year in accordance with 20-1-301 and includes passing time between classes.
(b) The term does not include lunch time and periods of unstructured recess.
For many years subsection 20-5-109(2) has referenced 20-1-301 and 20-1-302 MCA. 20-1-301 defines the minimum annual hours required for a school year, by grade. Section 3 of SB170 also modified 20-1-301:
Section 3. Section 20-1-301, MCA, is amended to read:
"20-1-301. School fiscal year. (1) The school fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. At least 180 school days of pupil instruction and the minimum aggregate hours defined in subsection (2) must be conducted during each school fiscal year, except that 175 days and 1,050 aggregate hours of pupil instruction for graduating seniors may be sufficient or a minimum of 90 days and 360 aggregate hours of pupil instruction must be conducted for a kindergarten program, as provided in 20-7-117.
(2) The minimum aggregate hours required by grade are:
(a) 720 hours for grades 1 through 3; and
(b) 1,080 hours for grades 4 through 12.
(3) To calculate the number of equivalent school days of pupil instruction when providing less than the minimum number of hours of instruction provided in subsections (1) and (2), a school district shall:
(a) determine the aggregate hours of pupil instruction by grade level;
(b) divide the aggregate hours of pupil instruction for each grade level by the minimum hours a day for that grade level provided in 20-1-302; and
(c) round the result down to the nearest whole number.
(4)(3) For any elementary or high school district that fails to provide for at least 180 school days of pupil instruction and the minimum aggregate hours, as defined listed in subsections (1) and (2), the superintendent of public instruction shall reduce the direct state aid for the district for that school year by 1/90th for each school day less than 180 school days as calculated in subsection (3) or by 1/90th for each calendar day less than the minimum school days required by subsection (1), whichever is greater two times an hourly rate, as calculated by the office of public instruction, for the aggregate hours missed."
(All lines that are struck indicate what is being removed. The underlines portion are additions.)
Subsection (2) of 20-5-109 also references another section of Montana law; 20-1-302. This section defined the number of hours in a school day. It simply did the math by calculating: 720/180=4 hours/day and 1080/180=6 hours/day. Section 4 of SB170 will remove references to the number of hours in a school day:
Section 4. Section 20-1-302, MCA, is amended to read:
"20-1-302. School term, day, and week. (1) Subject to 20-1-301, 20-1-308, and any applicable collective bargaining agreement covering the employment of affected employees, a school day of pupil instruction must be at least 2 hours for kindergartens, at least 4 hours for grades 1 through 3, and at least 6 hours for grades 4 through 12. The number of hours in 1 school day may be reduced at the discretion of the trustees if the total number of pupil-instruction hours in the school year is not less than the minimum aggregate hours required in 20-1-301 the trustees of a school district shall set the number of days in a school term, the length of the school day, and the number of school days in a school week and report them to the superintendent of public instruction.
(2) When proposing to adopt changes to a previously adopted school term, school week, or school day, the trustees shall:
(a) negotiate the changes with the recognized collective bargaining unit representing the employees affected by the changes;
(b) solicit input from the employees affected by the changes but not represented by a collective bargaining agreement; and
(c) solicit input from the people who live within the boundaries of the school district."
What does this change mean to home schools in Montana (as well as private schools)?
After July 1, 2005 home schools must provide "at least the minimum aggregate hours of pupil instruction in accordance with 20-1-301 and 20-1-302 [MCA]". The 180 day requirement has been deleted. Section 20-1-301 defines the total minimum hours for the school year (since 1983, 20-5-109, it has always referenced 20-1-301's required minimum pupil instruction hours for a school year). Though, 20-1-302 addresses the school term, including length of school day, number of days in school term and number of school days in a week, the school district can not dictate the actual school calendar for non-public schools - since 20-1-301 is very clear in the definition of required minimum hours in a school fiscal year (720/1080 hours).
Subsection (1) of 20-5-109 MCA requires a non-public or home school to "maintain records on pupil attendance and disease immunization and make the records available to the county superintendent of schools on request". With the passage of SB170, there is no legal demand to include total instructional hours for each day (or year) reported. Attendance records are just that - attendance. Montana law will simply require each student to be instructed the 'minimum aggregate hours' for the school year (720/1080). (And of course, instruction in a home school includes many other activities and field trips that are beyond a typical 'classroom' session in the home.)
There has been no change to our rights as 'spelled out' in 20-5-111:
20-5-111. Responsibilities and rights of
parent who provides home school. Subject to the provisions of 20-5-109,
a parent has the authority to instruct his child, stepchild, or ward in a home
school and is solely responsible for:
(1) the educational philosophy of the home school;
(2) the selection of instructional materials, curriculum, and textbooks;
(3) the time, place, and method of instruction; and
(4) the evaluation of the home school instruction.
From a practical standpoint, if parents have understood previously that they had to meet the hours requirement in the statute (20-1-301 MCA), things have not changed. Record keeping should not change. SB170 eliminates all references to number of instruction days.

Rangers center Derick Brassard missed Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Canadiens after a hit by defenseman Mike Weaver in the opening contest.
But will he come back to the lineup after missing just one game?
The phrase "day-to-day" was still used in English by head coach Alain Vigneault to describe Brassard despite the center skating on Thursday morning. And then there was a little language confusion when Vigneault gave a different-sounding answer in French:
Je repete: AV says in French that Brassard is probably out tonight. In English, he merely said that Brassard is "day to day."— Jeff Z. Klein (@jzedklein) May 22, 2014
AV says his answers in French are better than English. Wasnt lying. Said Brass was day-to-day in english then said in french he's likely out— Tal Pinchevsky (@TalPinch) May 22, 2014
If Brassard is out again, expect Carcillo in the lineup again. He was off the ice early— Steve Zipay (@stevezipay) May 22, 2014
Alain Vigneault said Derick Brassard is day-to-day. Conclusion: he's not playing tonight. #rangers #tvasports— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) May 22, 2014
If you're following Vigneault in French, it sounds like Brassard will probably miss Thursday night's game.

But, sometimes looks can be deceiving.
"Oh no, I was super nervous," admitted Miller, who calmly swished the front end and the bonus foul shot with three seconds left to beat Oakland Community College, 62-60. "I knew I had to knock them down to win the game."
Miller, who started for the Bears at the point guard spot, had sat the bench for most of the second half with four fouls. But, the freshman was on the floor when the game was on the line -- quite literally -- and delivered for his team.
"I was absolutely confident in Demetrius; he's a clutch player," said Mott head coach Steve Schmidt of Miller, a Flint Central graduate.
Before Miller had an opportunity to come through in the clutch, Mott (16-3) needed a huge defensive stop on the game's final offensive possession.
With the game tied at 60, Oakland's Kevin Grayer drove to the basket with five seconds left in regulation, lost the ball and fouled Miller before he could break into transition.
"We just wanted to play solid defense ... we wanted to win on defense, and that's what we did," said Schmidt of the possession that ultimately sealed the win.
Mott looked as if it might dominate what has become a rivalry game for the Bears over the past few seasons, leading the Raiders by 13 at the half. Despite a 12-4 Oakland run to start the second half, Mott held on to its lead until just less than two minutes remained in the game after Oakland converted a rare 3-pointer.
Down by one with 90 second left, Mott forced a turnover on a five-second call and got a basket in the paint from freshman forward Mike Brigham to take the lead by one. Oakland tied the game on a split pair by Kevin Grayer at the foul line -- their only point in the game's final 90 seconds.
"For people who love hard fought basketball, that was a classic right
there," said Schmidt, who wasn't surprised by Oakland's second half
effort."To their credit, they made adjustments and we didn't react as
well as we should've. We recovered and weathered through. And we're
going to need games like this to get better."
Schmidt was more than pleased with his team's defensive effort, holding Oakland, a team that's averaged 99 points in its last three games, to only 60.
"This is going to become one of the trademark defensive Mott teams," he said. "That was a fun game...exciting to watch. I'm proud of how we responded."
Mott held Kevin Grayer, Oakland's leading scorer, to only 11 points in the game, seven less than his season average.
"Bobby Lewis and T.J Cameron did a tremendous job on defense the entire
game," said Schmidt of the two stoppers who took turns covering Grayer.
"I challenged (Bobby) today and I thought he did an unbelievable job
defensively and we're going to build on that. (Kevin Grayer) is a
tremendous player and the key to their team."
Freshman forward Doug Anderson led all scorers with 17 points and seven rebounds for Mott. Brigham added 16 points.
Freshman guard Clavontae Brown, who prepped at Flint Northern High school, led Oakland (14-6) with 13 points.
The Bears return to action at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday night against Kirtland at home.

I think that list of foods to avoid seems very do-able. The basics of primal eating should be meats, fats, veggies and fruits. Lots of people don't eat nuts and dairy. Your diet will be close the diet that people that follow the autoimmune protocol from Robb Wolf.
For fat sources you can make ghee to eliminate any dairy from it, use coconut oil, olive oil, beef tallow, lard, bacon drippings. You have beef, pork, fish, shelfish, and chicken to choose from. There is a pretty unlimited number of options in that combo. It seems you have no limits at all on veggies and can eat most fruit.
Nuts and dairy are sad to give up - like you said they are the utmost in convenience foods. You just have to plan a bit more to make it work. I find having homemade soup in the fridge works great for a convenient food. I also follow Nomnom paleo's suggestion of keep packets of emergency protein in the freezer. I cook a whole chicken and roast one day then shred them and keep them frozen in large single serving bags. If I am in a rush I just grab one and heat it with ghee and frozen veggies for a quick meal. Coconut milk smoothies may be a good quick snack as well.
Good luck. And remember it is probably only for a while that these have to be left behind. You can do just about anything for three months

Both Starlite Diner and Coney Island and Angelo's Coney Island were in MLive entertainment reporter John Gonzalez's top ten coney islands in the state.
Starlite came in at number four, king of the Flint-style coney.
"Starlite offers a freshness I did not experience elsewhere," Gonzalez wrote. "Their meat is ground every day, and new sauce is being made and stirred continuously every four hours."
Starlite owner Kosta Popoff said he was pleased when he heard about the results.
"You know what, I'm happy with that. It's hard to really say whos's the best because there are someny types of sauce," he said. "Detorit coneys are good, it's just a different dog."
Angelo's came in at number ten. It seems that the ambiance of the place had as much to do with its winning as the dog itself.
"When I walked in, my shoes stuck to the floor. Then the owner told that everything imaginable has happened in that restaurant, except for the birth of a baby," Gonzalez wrote.
In his statewide quest for the state's best coney, Gonzalez visited 22 restaurants in 10 cities, eating a total of 29 coney dogs--not to mention a burger at Starlite and some gravy-covered fries at Angelo's.
He also made an unexpected stop at the Thompson Creek Turkey Farm in Grand Blanc Township, where he had a turkey coney with turkey meat sauce. His reaction: "Yum!"
When all was said and done--and eaten--it was two Detroit restaurants that took the top spot, followed by another in Bay City.
And so it seems Gonzalez really likes the Detroit-style. Fair enough. But when if comes to the Flint-style it was clear who still does it the best.
Not that we needed anyone to tell us.

The uncontrolled rise in the cost of health insurance has caused a steep drop in the number of New Yorkers receiving employer-paid coverage, according to a study released last month by the New York State Health Foundation. After reaching a high point of 69 percent of New Yorkers and their families covered on the job in 2001, the total has plummeted to 58 percent.
Companies are declining to hire new workers because of health care costs. Even more employers are limiting or reducing wages because of rising health care bills.
Workers are finding themselves ineligible for coverage or limited in their choices, but decline to pay for the hefty cost of their own coverage either — which just creates more problems when accident or illness strikes.
James R. Knickman of the foundation called employer-sponsored health insurance "an eroding pillar of our coverage system," one that pointed to "the need to shore up the foundation of our insurance system."
Fortunately, comprehensive reform of U.S. health insurance is on the way — though the massive legislation approved earlier this year will only take effect in stages over the next four years. It can't come soon enough — for New York or the rest of the nation.

GRAND RAPIDS – West Michigan television stations WOOD-TV and WZZM-TV are planning special coverage in memory of Fred Meijer, who passed away Friday.
Suzanne Geha, former WOOD-TV anchor, will be on WZZM-TV (Channel 13) today during the 5:30 p.m. news broadcast to talk about the retail magnate, founder of the Meijer chain of stores.
WOOD-TV (Channel 8) meanwhile will air a special broadcast at 7 p.m. Wednesday, "Fred Meijer: A Lasting Legacy."
Geha, who was let go from WOOD-TV in April, on Friday first broke the news of Meijer's death from a brain hemmorrhage at age 91. He would have been 92 in December.
On her Facebook page today, Geha said she's been following discussion online about Meijer for several days.
"It's no surprise there's a common theme that runs throughout," Geha said. "Because Fred Meijer retained the essence of the common man, his great accomplishments and wealth did not keep him from being accessible and approachable. I don't know of any billionaire who has personally met, shaken the hand, and taken the time to talk to so many people. Really remarkable."
Thousands were expected to turn out today at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park to pay final respects to Meijer, the billionaire retailer who changed the face of the grocery business but may be best remembered for remaining an everyman who still visited his stores.
An eight-hour public visitation was to begin at 2 p.m. at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, 1000 East Beltline Ave. NE.
The gardens will be closed today for public visitation and Wednesday for a private family memorial.

What do Thanksgiving, fried turkey and biodiesel have in common? Six weeks ago, the NCCC Delta 8 "Green Team" began serving with a nonprofit in New Orleans on an energy conservation project to develop a sustainable plan and solicit restaurants to donate used cooking oil for biodiesel fuel production.
During our time working with Operation REACH's Gulfsouth Youth Biodiesel Project on a Fried Turkey Grease Drive, our specialized AmeriCorps NCCC team, Delta 8, discovered how a team of six could make a big difference, even in the populous city of New Orleans.
We dove enthusiastically into the project and our assigned tasks, which included creating and circulating promotional materials to nearly 60 locations in the greater New Orleans area, writing and distributing press releases and public service announcements, and researching and working to implement a system that would eventually increase the output of biodiesel in our lab to 2,500 gallons of fuel per week.
During the weeks leading up to this event, none of us were exactly sure what kind of response we would get, given that this was the first year of the drive. Would people make the extra effort to bring their grease to one of our eight drop-off locations? Did we get enough media exposure and distribute enough fliers to reach everyone in the city who fries their Thanksgiving turkeys? As a team, we threw around some numbers and decided that the grease drive would be a success if we came away with 200 gallons of grease.
By Saturday, December 4th, the last day of the drive, we found out that our estimation was way off -- we collected roughly 360 gallons of grease, which will convert to over 300 gallons of biodiesel fuel. Our hard work paid off with the help of those who took that extra step to recycle their grease instead of disposing of it in drains, backyards, or landfills. With the ongoing efforts of the GYBP, the grease collection will carry on throughout the year.
Now calling ourselves "grease mongers," each member of the NCCC team was chosen for his or her interest in sustainable living. The team includes Samantha Ahrendt, 21, of Pewaukee, Wisconsin; Allen Chang, 24, of Atlanta, Georgia; Matthew Gonzales, 23, of Albuquerque, New Mexico; team leader Kaitlin Higgins, 23, of Brick, New Jersey; Sara Lamberson, 24, of Wallingford, Pennsylvania; and, Drew Schaffer, 18, of Norwalk, Ohio.
With less than two weeks remaining before our team moves on from the Big Easy, I think we can all walk away from this project knowing that we made our own contribution to the Green Movement in New Orleans.

Like an AppleThis fragrance reminds me so much of the scent of a green apple with a more feminine smell added to it. It just takes one or two sprays to last for quite awhile and is one of the staple perfumes in my fragrance collection. — 5 years, 8 months agoPsy1ocke | 155 reviews

not that impressedI bought this perfume in a gift set with the lotion from Kohls. The salesperson in the perfume section helped me out and I was smelling a lot of different ones. I liked this scent but it was earthy and sweet yet sophisticated. I got the gift set so I could have the lotion too and it was on sale. Im not sure if kohls waters down the perfume in their gift sets but it doesn't seem as strong and it doesn't last very long. I had a similar scent from avon a few years ago for a fourth of the price. — 2 years, 9 months agoanna1002 | 79 reviews
My favorite go to scentThis scent is a staple in my collection. I love the crisp clean smell of it.

Smells amazing!I've tried different perfumes before, and I'd have to say this one by far the best. It isn't to overbearing, and it's perfect enough for everyday usage.

My Reasons for Reporting This

When Kia rolled out the latest version of the Rio in 2012, it was seen as the brand's recommitment to its business roots. It's offering an opening priced vehicle with excellent quality.
For the 2013 model year, Kia has kept that mantra alive and well, adding steering wheel paddle shifters and Idle Stop and Go technology to the Rio sedan and hatchback.
"If you're a college student who is shopping for a new vehicle, the Kia Rio hatchback is very affordable and dependable. It's also very versatile, especially when you need to haul some cargo," said Steve DiFranco, general manager of Classic Kia in Streetsboro. "But the Rio is not just a young person's car. We also have a lot of older people who are interested in the sedan because it gets such great fuel economy."
The Rio comes in the LX, EX and SX trims. Sticker prices start at around $13,600 for the opening priced LX. A very well-equipped SX can cost as much as $17,700 or more.
Under the hood you'll find a 1.6-liter gasoline direct-injection four cylinder that can be mated to either a six-speed manual in the LX only or a six-speed automatic. So if you like to drive a manual, you have to stick with the opening trim.
As for the power, the GDI engine offers plenty of pep for around-town driving. Zero-to-60 mile an hour is right around 10 seconds, which is more than enough to get the average driver out and onto the freeway.
The Rio does excel at the pump, getting an EPA-estimated 40 miles per gallon for either the manual or automatic transmission.
This year, Kia added Idle Stop and Go technology as a part of an Eco package on the EX trim. It allows the engine to shut down at stops in traffic or at lights, while electrical components stay on. The engine then restarts seamlessly when you take your foot off of the brake.
The other improvement is the addition of paddle shifters as standard on the SX trim. This can enhance the driving experience of the Rio for those who miss the manual.
Inside, the 2013 Rio cabin offers a bold, modern design that is centered on Kia's horizontal three-cylinder instrument panel and two-tone color scheme. An extended wheelbase of over 101 inches greatly enhances passenger room and comfort. It offers 40 inches of front headroom, 37.6 inches of rear headroom, 43.8 inches of front legroom, and 31.1inches of rear legroom for the Rio sedan and Rio five-door hatchback.
In terms of cargo space, the Rio has an impressive 13.7 cubic feet in the sedan and 15.0 cubic feet in the hatchback. In addition, the EX and SX models of the Rio hatchback received a newly-standard cargo under-floor tray, which results in a flatter load floor when the rear seats are folded down.
Even though the Rio is a fuel-efficient sub compact, it does have a very nice look. It features a slimmer version of the Kia signature grille and has high shoulder lines that give the Rio a forward-leaning aggressive stance. The Rio sedan drops the wedge line only slightly between the rear door and the trunk to differentiate it from the hatchback profile.
• Fuel economy is estimated at 40 miles per gallon on the highway.
• For a sub-compact, there is a surprising amount of room in the cabin.
• With almost 14 cubic feet of cargo space in the sedan and 15 cubic feet in the hatchback, there is enough room for small amounts of cargo.
• It's backed by Kia's legendary five-year/60,000 mile limited warranty and 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty.
• The manual is only available with the LX trim.
• Zero-to-60 mile-an-hour time could be better.

Pennsylvania State Police are showing off some new wheels.
They'll be chasing down the bad guys in a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor sedan.
The new vehicles are an upgrade from the standard Ford Crown Victoria.
The new vehicles are all-wheel drive, and they feature more lights, better radio and siren controls and enhanced safety features.
"Has traction stability. Has a computer in it so if you would be driving down the road, you get in a situation, the computer may do different things for you, slowing the tire down, putting more brake to a tire," said Tpr. David Beohm, Pa. State Police.
Two of the new vehicles are based at the state police barracks in Reading. They're the first ones to be used out in the field.

Boston Business Journal
Once Michael Moxley knew he would name his new eatery The Salty Pig, he created a Facebook page and started generating some social media buzz.
The restaurateur has used the page to give a preview of the eatery's beer and charcuterie offerings, post pictures of the new location's pig-themed decor and even post a few quotes about pigs. Although the restaurant opens later this month, it already has more than 100 Facebook "likes."
"I hit (Facebook) hard," said Moxley. "It's completely invaluable to get those likes."
Moxley's love of likes is hardly universal, however. The debate over the value of a Facebook "like" is ongoing in the marketing world, with some companies more than willing to shrug off Facebook popularity. But there's no doubt a growing number of companies collect "likes" on Facebook the way squirrels hoard nuts for the winter. Many business owners think "likes" translate into sales and some recent studies back that up, suggesting that a "like" on Facebook has a specific dollar value.
One thing is clear: most companies want people to "like" them on Facebook. The need for popularity on the site can be chalked up to its more than 500 million users and the fact that it's become seamlessly integrated into the fabric of the Internet through Facebook's ubiquitous "like" and "share" buttons.
In Boston, some companies are clear winners in the pursuit of Facebook's social media currency. Canton-based Dunkin' Donuts has more than 3.7 million "likes"; Baskin-Robbins has 2.7 million "likes" and Children's Hospital Boston has more than 640,000 likes.
A survey last year from New York-based eMarketer calculated that Facebook fans are worth $136.38 each per month for large corporate brands like McDonald's and Starbucks. That money represents what consumers spend on coffee and hamburgers, according to eMarketer.
Indeed, Dunkin' Donuts has assigned a dollar value for each of its millions of Facebook "likes" using analytics that map the company's proprietary customer database, although David Tryder, director of interactive and relationship marketing at Dunkin' Donuts, would not disclose the figure.
The number translates into sales of coffee and donuts, he said. "Our likes are very important to us. While it's not an exact science, there are tools that brands can use to measure the impact (on sales) based on the business objectives."
Still, not everyone is sold on the value of being popular on Facebook.
"It's not just about getting people to like you, it's about what kind of content you'll have on the site that will turn those likes into an ongoing relationship which could then lead to a sale," said Phil Johnson, CEO of the ad shop PJA in Cambridge.
Dante de Magistris, chef and owner of two restaurants, Dante in Cambridge and il Casale in Belmont, still thinks word-of-mouth marketing generates the best traffic.
"I don't even know what a "like" is," de Magistris said.
"There's been a lot of research around the value of a fan or a "like" on Facebook," said Jamie Tedford, CEO of Boston-based Brand Networks Inc., which focuses on social media marketing. "(The value) is reflective of what the business is and how they use that channel."
But there's no doubt Facebook "likes" help drive sales, Tedford said.
Once a user clicks on the "like" button, that user has enabled the brand to publish to the user's newsfeed. That's valuable to a firm in several ways, including the fact that it creates a one-to-one communication channel, it allows brands to see what their customers are saying and allows for better customer service. It also allows brands to market their products through Facebook.
In early July, Herb Chambers launched a 13-week social media marketing campaign centered around getting Facebook "likes." Once consumers click on the "like" buttons on the Herb Chambers corporate Facebook page and the individual dealership pages, they'll be entered into a random drawing of prizes including Boston Red Sox and concert tickets and the grand prize of a helicopter tour around Boston with Herb Chambers. The campaign is designed to generate likes for all of Herb Chambers Facebook pages, and as a way to get customer feedback.
Vistaprint (Nasdaq: VPRT) in Lexington derives much of the value of its 60,000-plus "likes" through community participation, said Jeff Esposito, manager of public relations and social media at Vistaprint.
"We use a number of tools to drill into these conversations to grade the brand promoters and detractors and help inform things like our net promoter score," said Esposito in an email. "As an e-commerce company we can also track how promotional pages on our fan page are performing relative to the conversations each day, which allows us to better refine our offers as well as topics to discuss with our fans."

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- World Cup organizers are reviewing security after some Argentina fans without tickets got over fences at Maracana Stadium before the team's game against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Saint-Clair Milesi, spokesman for Brazil's organizing committee, says "those that jumped were apprehended and taken to the police."
Milesi says "obviously we are going to reflect on this and reinforce with our security teams."
FIFA says around 10 ticketless fans were stopped by stadium stewards and handed over to police.
Organizers set up a security perimeter about 1 kilometer from the stadium several hours before kickoff to keep ticketless fans away.
Argentina's 2-1 victory was watched by a sold-out crowd of 74,738 at Maracana, the biggest stadium at the World Cup which will host the final.

Agency apologises for 'tofu is gay meat' ad concept
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Let's be honest – Tofu is pretty gay…
Let's not be too precious about ourselves. If you can't laugh at yourself you may be missing the best joke around.
Laughing at ourselves is one thing, other people laughing at us is another.
Is it? In a gay lifetime I've never encountered it except in passing on supermarket shelves and, I suppose, by accident in East Asian restaurants. In what way do you think it's gay? I would've said gay meat is cock.
"I would've said gay meat is cock."
Can I get an AMEN!!
I've never seen tofu out and about down Old Compton Street. Do you think it goes to those seedier places down in Vauxhall?
Diiiirty diiirrtty tofu :D
I am sure I have seen it in Chariots … I am certain that was tofu.
It is rather chucklesome! An apology has already been made it appears solets not dwell on it!
Why would ANY company think such an advert was appropriate.
It speaks volumes about the kind of agency that Scholz & Friends is.
Saying something is 'gay' as an insullt is the type of juvenile, schollground bullying that has no place in society.
Scholz & Friends apparently is a company where maturity, common sense, intelligence or common decency are alien concepts.
i do find it hard to believe nobody did the 'ooft… is this… ok?' thing.
I just don't get the equation between Tofu and Gay men, full stop. I don't know any gay men who eat it and those people I do know are mostly straight women. Maybe German gays are into it, who knows? It reminds me of that other ridiculous saying that "real men don't eat quiche". So what does that imply, there are few straight Frenchmen even though it's eaten all over France by men and women alike? It is not only insulting but immature and a cheap shot to get a laugh at the expense of one group of people. I don't even consider either of these attributions a joke, just an exercise in crass stupidity and ignorance.
Me and my boyfriend both eat tofu.
So do I.
it isnt exactly drawing links between homosexuality and incest or anything. but its obviously upset a lot of people so im glad they have said sorry. i've got a prety easy going attitude to humour, but i probably wouldnt make this add even remotely public.
Clearly this add is a result of Germans not having any sense of humor.
Gay = bad, crap, rubbish. Well done Scholz & Friends, that's very 2012 of you. Act up. Ban all of their products they promote and get in touch with each and every marketing director and creative director they report to and let them know how you feel!
The sequel I suppose will be that quiche is a gay omelette in a pie. Don't let's get started on fairy cakes. That one's just pregnant with innuendo. Faggots and mash? The mind absolutely boggles. Cucumbers? Sausage links? Bananas? Corny, yeh I know (an ear of corn?). They'll sell a lot of food to people who think that the three letter word "gay" defines them as a person — but after all they are indeed targeting the shallowest of the shallowest.
Aren't you missing the point? The ad campaign was selling meat by saying, essentially, anything like tofu is for poofs. You're right though, it appears to be targetting the shallowest of the shallow.
Possibly, BUT — have you ever tried to eat vegetarian in Germany? :-) I'm *ridiculing* it on two levels — first that they have to bring any sort of innuendo into it to get our attention, and then they're playing off general shallowness. To me the offense is less on the words and far more on the suggestion.
I think you're still missing the point.
Tasteless. In every sense.
It may not be malicious, but it does perpetuate the concept that gay=bad/lesser, and that's not good for equality. As a joke between friends it wouldn't be too bad, but as a proposal for a major chain of restaurants, it's pretty worrying that this agency got so far as to product what looks like quite a polished concept.
It's scary how often completely inappropriate proposals come out of agencies and sometimes I feel that the creative teams are just a bunch of artistically capable lads, larking about and getting paid for it. It's good that this one made it to the public so that Scholz & Friends will hopefully do something to change the culture of their creative teams.
'Gay meat' is not real meat, therefore Gay men must not be real men, which is offensive.
Also I eat a lot of meat so I feel confused.
Absolutely the point! How would straight poeple feel if we went around and called everything that was dull, bland and boring "straight"! Idiot agency!
Don't forget rehashed, straighties love to rehash all kinds of crap.
Tofu is overrated anyway, hardly any taste to it. I tried it once and wasn't impressed, much like mozzarella, unless it's buffalo mozzarella of course.
I'm all for humour and laughing at ourselves, but why did this ad company single out gay people in the first place? I don't know that many gay people who eat tofu anyway. Those I do know who eat it are straight, mostly women.
Tofu is ace.
Tofu can be pretty horrible but so can meat. Ma Po Dofu is the greatest thing, you possibly tried the wrong dish.
I know heterosexual men who eat tofu and they're not vegetarians what a mindf@$k they would be to the owners of this restaurant.
I make my own tofu. What does this say about me?
Dolphins are apparently gay sharks. Go figure.
Me, being a lesbian and a vegetarian (who will be a vegan when I have more money to spend on the foods/nutrition), I'm pretty damn offended. The ad is pretty much saying being gay is not as good as the "real deal" and it's wimpy, which is not true of course.
Eating vegan is even cheaper than being veggie. Fresh fruit, veg and grains, a regular munch on Marmite on toast with dairy-free marge for your vitamin B12 – you're set for life girl!
I'm sure the whole of Japanese people were so pleased with this ad…
What is worrying is the idea that fired this advert and the collective acceptance that brought it so far through the marketing team that it came close to being aired. How many people were involved in thinking this was a runner?
That's the worrying thing for us in the gay community and let's face it, it is everywhere if you scratch the surface.
This is a parallel word – the eating of tofu and other chopped and shaped products rather than real food.
Each to their own, but being vegetarian seems to be being against food and pleasure – confit de canard, tartiflette savoyarde, saucisson, paté de fois gras, bouillabaisse, cassoulet, chapon, navarin, blanquette de veau all with good glasses of saint emilion, bourgogne, gigondas, pouilly fuissé.
I cannot see the link between being gay and not enjoying pleasure.
You do know, don't you, that the English word pudding (as in 'black') comes from the French boudin?
[Sorry, way off-topic.]
The firm might "regret that the feelings of homosexual people were hurt", but they do not seem to be concerned about the feelings of the many millions in the Far East for whom tofu is a regular part of their diet.
