Look out, left-lane lollygaggers: Life in the fast lane might get a little less comfortable.
A new bill in the Ohio House proposing to increase the speed limit on interstate highways to 70 also would make staying in the left lane generally illegal unless drivers are exiting or passing slower vehicles.
House Bill 395 will have its first hearing today.
"If someone's in the left-hand lane and someone's trying to pass them on the right…that is dangerous," said state Rep. Ron Maag, R-Lebanon, the bill's sponsor. "Give me one reason why someone should be driving in that (left) lane and not passing."
Well, for one, according to the State Highway Patrol, it might be "almost impossible" to reserve an entire lane for passing vehicles only.
"We believe both lanes are needed to maintain the traffic flow with the amount of traffic on a four-lane, divided interstate," said Lt. Anne Ralston, a patrol spokeswoman.
Current Ohio law requires drivers to use the right or center lanes, with a number of exceptions. The proposed legislation essentially would limit the leeway of left-lane users to mosey down the interstates.
Accordingly, motorists would not be permitted to travel in the left-hand lane except when exiting, passing or allowing other vehicles to enter the right lane, or when existing road conditions would make driving a vehicle in the right lane unsafe.
Ralston said she can't determine how troopers would enforce tougher laws restricting left-hand-lane use without seeing the final legislation. But "it does raise concerns of how things are going to be enforced," she said.
For example, as cars zip down roads, how do you tell if a driver in the fast lane is overtaking another vehicle or just taking advantage of empty asphalt?
"I don't know of any law that is easy (to enforce)," Maag said. "There are laws against bank robbing, and people still rob banks."
Maag said the bill intends to mimic the rules governing the Ohio Turnpike, which raised its speed limit to 70 mph in April. Trucks are prohibited from traveling in the high-speed lane of the turnpike, primarily a six-lane highway across northern Ohio.
He said the new law could make the roads safer. "The differential in speed" causes most accidents, said Maag.
John Bowman, communication director of the National Motorists Association, a grass-roots group founded in 1982 to combat the national 55 mph speed limit, agreed: When drivers clog the left lane, they tend to back up traffic, he said, and "that's when accidents happen."
"Other cars have to slow down suddenly or speed up suddenly or make sudden changes back and forth. You're introducing uncertainty and unpredictability into traffic flow," Bowman said. "By creating a traffic flow that's even, you reduce uncertainty for drivers."
If a stricter "lane courtesy" law is going to be effective, Bowman said, drivers need to be aware of the measure — and of the benefits of keeping slowpokes out of the left lane. The issue isn't enforcement, he said, but public education.
"I think over the years people have been indoctrinated to think that faster speeds are always more unsafe. It's just simply not the case," he said. "So by somebody taking into their own hands, 'Well I'm going to regulate the speed of traffic by blocking up the left-hand lane'— they may think that's perfectly reasonable…when (it's) not."

Multiple studies from independent groups find evidence for signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) activation in nearly 50% of lung cancers, suggesting a functional role for this target in subsets of lung cancer. On the basis of the existing evidence, we hypothesized that bioavailable curcuminoid complex may modulate lung carcinogenesis, primarily by inhibiting Stat3 activation. With the safety of this being botanically well established, the objective of these studies was to test our hypothesis in vitro and in vivo in an effort to inform the design of a phase II chemoprevention trial in former smokers. We treated non-tumor-derived, normal (but immortalized) human bronchial epithelial cells (AALE) (Lundberg et al., 2002; Pillai et al., 2011) and lung adenocarcinoma-derived cells (H441) with bioactive curcumin C3 complex. Asynchronous cells in each case were treated with curcumin for 24 h, followed by immunoblotting for Stat3 and activated Stat3-P, prior signal of which was used for normalization. We also completed a preclinical trial in which 12 mice were randomly divided into three groups and subjected to 3 days or 9 days of curcumin intraperitoneal injections, followed by analysis of lung tissues for Stat3-P changes and growth suppressive effects of the curcumin. The growth suppressive effects were measured using Cyclin D1 and the replicative helicase subunit, Mcm2, as surrogates for the proliferative capacity of the tissues. In-vitro studies with curcuminoid complex demonstrated that the activity of Stat3 in both normal bronchoepithelial cells and lung cancer-derived cells is sensitive to curcumin exposure. In a dose-dependent manner, curcumin treatment resulted in significant suppression of Stat3 phosphorylation and reduction in the proliferative capacity of both cell types. In the preclinical trial with rodent models, curcumin reduced Stat3-P and the proliferative markers CycD1 and Mcm2 in mice lung tissues in vivo. These culture and preclinical studies indicate that the activity of the Stat3 pathway can be suppressed by curcumin treatment, concomitant with a reduction in cell proliferation, supporting our hypothesis that inhibition of the Stat3 pathway represents at least one important mechanism by which curcumin elicits its effects on the bronchoepithelium. These data provide a rationale for the use of curcumin as a promising chemopreventive agent in high-risk populations such as former smokers.

Conservatism isn't over. But it has rarely been as confused. Today's conservatives support limited government. But they believe the federal government can intervene in a state court's decisions in a single family's struggle over life and death. They believe in restraining government spending. But they have increased such spending by a mind-boggling 33 percent in a mere four years. They believe in self-reliance. But they have just passed the most expensive new entitlement since the heyday of Great Society liberalism: the Medicare prescription-drug benefit. They believe that foreign policy is about the pursuit of national interest and that the military should be used only to fight and win wars. Yet they have embarked on an extraordinarily ambitious program of military-led nation-building in the Middle East. They believe in states' rights, but they want to amend the Constitution to forbid any state from allowing civil marriage or equivalent civil unions for gay couples. They believe in free trade. But they have imposed tariffs on a number of industries, most famously steel. They believe in balanced budgets. But they have abandoned fiscal discipline and added a cool trillion dollars to the national debt in one presidential term.

Conservatism today

I don't mind the analysis here though I have a huge problem with the author's use of the term "conservative." As long as he replaces that with neoconservative, my heart will return to its normal pace. It's partly because of him that libertarians and true conservatives can't join together in a common cause. As I stated once before, I see the difference between the two camps as essentially whether or not all the freedoms we have should allow us to readily engage in all of them. For instance, in social matters. But the agreement is in the fact that the federal government should not legislate any of this. We should work together to bring the federal government back to its proper size, then argue about what the state governments should and should not be doing. This is similar to something Lew Rockwell recently said...
"All of this leaves the question of what our political priorities should be. If it were up to me, I would push a button and reduce government to the size it was after the American Revolution under the Articles of Confederation, and then look forward to debating whether we should get rid of the rest."
--- Lew Rockwell
I am willing to toast to that!

Plan ahead financially. The process of aquiring student loans with this school was incredibly difficult and took a long time. I recommend planning 3+ months our to afford any expenses while also paying for your student loands in advance. Plan to purchase expensive books and tools to participate in the courses properly. Individuals joining school full-time from the workforce need to plan even further in advance to avoid the severe financial stress imposed from no longer having income and standing-by while the school processes the paperwork and then sends off to a third-party institution in this case AllianceOne (Reviews were highly unrecommened).Read More
Great community college with wonderful student resources like tutoring, online help is amazing, the faculty is nice. Just stay on top.of your financial aid.Read More
Good for prospective students within the Spokane area who wish to get a 2-year degree, wish to transfer from a 2-year degree to a 4-year school, or are unable or unwilling to go to a 4 year school.

"Regina Maria" Secondary School

"Watching the empty screen in the Command and Control Center at the NASA mission , commander Jones hoped to be successful. The decision belonged to him: The Cassini Spacelab was going to fly across the Saturn planet, to send data, measurements, but especially to send images of the gas giant. Michael and his men insisted on the fact that Cassini's attention should be focused on the satellite Rhea or towards the ice satellites, Tethys and Enceladus. "What else do you want to find out from Saturn?" they asked him few weeks before. "We have very clear data."
Clear data?...What data? The ones known by any secondary school student?!
- a huge/giant gas planet
Jones hand touched his thoughtful forehead. Well, well, it has been proved that all this "truths" hide numberless unknown aspects. They all realized the difference made by Cassini since it had been flying across the planet Saturn! Until it, all the other spacelabs simply used to pass by Saturn, taking pictures and collecting data in a hurry. Since 2004 when the Cassini Spacelab was orbiting Saturn, have got measurements and surprising images that allowed the specialists, at the Command and Control Center to study the whole planet, including the invisible side, the one that is not lit/ enlightened by the Sun. Cassini's camera has recorded images of the lightings on the Saturn for the first time.
He knew he was right. He knew that this mission was his unique chance that he had been waiting for such a long time.
Although nothing could be seen on the dark screen, in the commander's mind the images were running one after the other very fast. One could clearly see the Saturnian North Pole. The solar winds break the magnetic field of the planet and make up, like in wonder, incandescent light plays in all the colours of the rainbow.
"Just like the auroras borealis at home", Jones smiled. If only it might succeed ! If he would succeed to study in detail the most active aurora from the Solar System, the one on Saturn, for sure, he will know more information about the northern light and the southern light from Earth. The images are unrolling in fast rhythm. Now is above the Storms Alley, in the southern hemisphere of the planet, where the most hurricanes.
The commander watches the two huge hurricanes crashing. "You'd believe that from their crash is forming a bigger hurricane, as on Earth, as home.", murmurs Jones. He knows that on Saturn the things aren't like that. After the crashing is forming a similar hurricane, or the two are breaking up. "Why?" the commander asks himself for the thousand time. Jones sees the terrifying storm from the South Pole of Saturn, that huge vortex created by the heat inside the planet. He knows, he feels, he dreamt, he doesn't know anymore, that somewhere, in the center of that storm, there are hided some dark, odd clouds , which remained a mystery until now. But this time, Cassini will gather enough information and will clear up this bizarre mystery. It must ...
All the astronauts agreed in this case. They believe that the new huge Saturn's ring might hide approximately 1 million planets, from which some might have dimensions comparable with Earth's. Now they all are waiting new information and measurements from Cassini to be pronounced as definitive.
Then Jones sees clouds from northern part of the planet's disk. "Why are they always bluer that the ones from the southern part of the planet?" Another question without answer. A secret that will be finally solved, when they will analyze the information sent by the spacecraft.

Home > News > Press Releases > Crozer-Keystone Physical Therapy and Rehab Services Offers the Graston Technique
Published on October 04, 2013
DREXEL HILL, Pa. – Crozer-Keystone Health System is pleased to offer the latest method in changing the way soft tissue injuries are treated – the Graston Technique®. This technique aims to detect and treat restrictions in soft tissue caused by injury and surgery, utilized by specially trained physical therapy staff.
Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This technique uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis, excessive tissue, or chronic inflammation, which is persistent inflammation that has gone out of control.
"What has been found with using the Graston Technique® is that treating patients with both hands and tools results in a decrease in overall time of treatment. It also fosters faster rehabilitation/recovery, reduces the need for anti-inflammatory medication and resolves chronic conditions thought to be permanent," says Jayme Shirk, Crozer-Keystone physical therapist. "In cases where patients have chronic tendonitis and tendenosis, we have been able to decrease symptoms that have been an issue for years.
"The tools work to allow therapists to identify affected areas of muscle. Treatment typically takes only a few minutes per session and is usually supplemented by strength and flexibility exercises to further heal and strengthen the tissue," Shirk continues. "Typically, patients will receive two treatments per week over a four-to-five-week period. However, depending on the individual healing time, some may require more while some will require fewer treatments."
Allyson Schonfeld, one of Shirk's patients, describes her experience with Graston Technique®: "To start, I have flat feet and am a runner on top of that. I had a lot of scar tissue build up and extra friction, which was causing me pain," says Schonfeld. "Graston® and the physical therapy that follows was great because it doesn't have to be isolated to one specific spot.
"Yes, my feet were the main focus, but with Graston®, Jayme was also able to focus on my hips and knees. Being a runner, the pain sometimes travels up to the rest of my body. So having other areas treated can help eliminate future problems and more pain.
"The recovery time for Graston ® is very quick," continues Schonfeld. "At the end of the day, I had some bruising and tenderness and that was it. The results were great and everyone who helped at Crozer-Keystone Health System was absolutely incredible."
Originally developed by athletes, Graston Technique® is an interdisciplinary treatment used by more than 16,775 clinicians worldwide. It is used at approximately 1,760 outpatient facilities, 43 industrial sites, and 260 professional and amateur sports organizations; and is part of the curriculum at 57 respected colleges and universities. Graston Technique® is also covered by all forms of insurance as a form of manual therapy.
Crozer-Keystone's Outpatient Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation centers offer services at Crozer-Chester Medical Center, Barclay Square/Delaware County Memorial Hospital, Springfield Hospital and Taylor Made/Taylor Hospital.

every parent that has a kid wanting to join ANY of the armed forces should delay this 6-9 months and TELL the recruiter why. That you're concerned about homosexual rape by officer and senior NCOs. That you are concerned that sexual harassment among faggot officers and faggot senior NCOs to your son is going to be a problem and how are they going to address your concerns.
Real simple, real straight not hostile but just DELAY recruitment and SPREAD THE WORD AMONG ALL CONSERVATIVES who can somehow contact recruits. I want to CRATER recruiting drives. Make all the recruiters miss their marks and eat sh#t, cause they're officers in the Pentagon are a bunch of meat puffers.
Pass this around as much as possible... DELAY, DELAY, DELAY, DELAY.... let mommy loving faggots and carpet munchers with daddy complexes fill the ranks.
This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. This is how the SS filled it's ranks with men willing to put aside all Morals and just do what the reich and Hitler told them to do... just following orders.
Please email this , fax it and post it everywhere... delay entry as long as possible to show how this policy is viewed by the United States of America. My son will never join this crowd of rump rangers. I'd rather him join a ballet, girls softball team, design dresses or become a community organizer in Chicago .... at least I KNOW he'll be surrounded by homosexuals. Joining the Armed Forces is going to be much harder to prove rape or coercion.

Republican Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois said after his Thursday debate against Democratic rival Tammy Duckworth that abortions are never necessary to save a pregnant woman's life, because modern technology has eliminated the risks of childbearing.
Walsh was defending his position that abortion should be outlawed with no exceptions, which is also the Republican Party's official stance on the issue.
"With modern technology and science, you can't find one instance" of a pregnant woman's life being at risk, he told reporters after the debate. "There is no such exception as life of the mother, and as far as health of the mother, same thing." He added that "advances in science and technology" meant that abortion is never necessary for the health of a mother.

The director of issues analysis of a conservative fundamentalist Christian organization says that a CNN host kicked him off her program earlier this week because she is part of the "gay Gestapo."
CNN host Carol Costello abruptly ended her Tuesday interview with the American Family Association's (AFA) Bryan Fischer about an anti-bullying "Mix it Up" school event after he claimed that "homosexuality has the same risks associated with it as intravenous drug use."
"That's just not true," Costello said, cutting him off. "I'm going to end this interview now, sir, because that's just not true. Mr. Fisher, thanks for sharing your views, I guess."
In a rant on his Thursday radio show, Fischer explained that he had been booted from CNN because he had "committed a crime of blasphemy against the god of gayness."
"For instance, it is simply a true fact that homosexual behavior is immoral, it is unnatural and it is unhealthy. That is a simple straight-forward statement of fact," the conservative radio host opined. "But for the gay Gestapo, they're going to call that an insult."
"Now, Carol Costello, she showed you what this looks like," he continued. "Carol Costello, when I was on CNN, she showed you what the gay Gestapo looks like in action because she cut my water off just a soon as I started to talk about the health risks of homosexual behavior."
"Carol Costello, the gay Gestapo — the Nazi's in the gay Gestapo — they do not want to hear the truth about homosexual behavior because what they are about is promoting this lifestyle, not promoting diversity, but as I said, promoting perversity."

Atheist are indeed "free thinkers" because they are "free" to let their mind "think" of anything illogical, confusing and distorted. It is true, atheists are more free than christians and don't have to focus on one established set of laws and facts laid out in one book that claims to be all truth. Atheists would rather search the world and the universe to "discover" truth and use a materialistic approach that leads to chaos, confusion, multiple conflicting theories, and endless searching for answers to questions that are answered right in the Bible.

Simply telling the truth about homosexual behavior - that it is immoral, unnatural, and unhealthy - outrages the bullying bigots of Big Gay and is regarded by them as a grave insult. Such truth-telling therefore must not be tolerated.
In fact, the SPLC goes on to say that if anyone tells the truth about homosexual behavior, the school must "denounce the hateful act," and adds that the "denunciation of the incident should be delivered to students and staff, parents and caregivers, and the wider community. Post it on the school website, and publish it in the school newspaper or newsletter. Send it out to the media. Deliver it over the school's PA system, closed-circuit TV or intercom."
In other words, launch an ethic-cleansing program against any and all students of conservative moral principle
and be sure to alert the media while you're at it, so conservative students can be humiliated before their entire communities. Sounds like sure enough bullying to me.

[Commenting on her own blog post in which she characterized poor people as gluttonous, slothful, irresponsible and entitled.]
Ah yes, those millions of imaginary "homeless vets" of song and story:
If people are "living paycheck to paycheck" it is because they are in debt, usually carrying heavy consumer debt loads. Those people aren't necessarily poor either.
I'm not convinced by the way that anyone really "cares about the poor" so much as they care about their own self image as "compassionate" people.
I actually DON'T care about "the Poor" – like all sane, normal people, I can about my friends and family first. Real people, not an abstraction based mostly on mythology and ideology.
It's too bad so many liberals are embittered losers who resent those of us who've made something of ourselves. And who aren't ashamed of writing stuff under our own names rather than hiding behind cowardly pseudonyms.

Bronx middle school teacher disciplined for ordering her students to pray to Jesus
Michelle Schindelheim told investigators she stopped class and told pupils "they were going to talk to God"
A God-fearing city teacher earned a slap on the wrist for ordering her students to kneel and pray to Jesus, education officials said.
Michelle Schindelheim, of Bronx Middle School 301, drew the attention of investigators in March 2011, after students complained that she was forcing them to pray to God instead of teaching them to read.
Students told investigators that just before Christmas 2010 the English as a Second Language instructor stopped class and told students "they were going to talk to God."
Then Schindelheim, who is 47 and earns $80,000, ordered students to "sit in a circle and sing and pray to God," making the kids recite The Lord's Prayer in their native Spanish.
She even whipped out her cell phone and put her priest on speakerphone, so he could listen to her class's prayers, investigators said.
Schindelheim, who has worked in city schools since 1991, confessed when investigators questioned her about the incident.
She told them the whole thing was a "stupid idea" suggested by a friend who was teaching a meditation class.
She also admitted that she had made her "class re-enact scenes from the life and death of Jesus," investigators said.

First I want to make it clear that premarital sex is sex you have with someone you arent married with like a boyfriend or one night stand. This sin is also known as fornication and you judge for yourself what you choose to do after reading this:
"It was so terrible seeing this woman and hearing her cries as the worms voraciously ate her flesh. There was a metal plate embedded in her chest that could not be destroyed by the flames. It read, "I am here for fornication." In the same manner of her sin, this woman was forced to fornicate in hell with a very disgusting and fat snake. The snake had huge thorns around its body, about 6-8 inches long. The snake penetrated her private parts and traveled up her body to her throat. When the snake entered her, she started to scream."
and this is just what they saw happen to one. This is from a Divine Revelation of Hell to 7 Colombian Youth. Remember, this will be done to her forever and ever.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 & 1 Corinthians 7:1-2

The Reality Doctrine.
Islamic Governments of the world, this is our new doctrine. Keep your thugs and fanatics home or face our wrath. You have been warned and any consequence of this doctrine will be of your doing.
1. Any country that supports terrorism and has, helped or abetted any man or group, that has killed an American here at home or abroad, will be declared a terrorist state.
2. That country, with the approval of Congress, will come under attack from our Air Force and our Navy. The attack will be relentless in taking out government buildings, railroads, bridges, factories, military installations on the ground or on the sea.
3. Every hard target will be given a 2 hour notice to give the dictators time to move their people out of harms way.
4. After the complete annihilation of the specified targets, America will go home and leave your miserable country to rebuild on its own without one dollar of support or one American soldier on the ground. Not one American boy will lose his life or leave a limb in the hell hole of any Islamic country.
5. After 5 years, 10 years or however long it takes to re construct your infrastructure, if you choose to go down the same path, we will be back.
6. Any country that supports terrorism and allows that activity on their soil will receive not one dollar of American money. We will no longer borrow hundreds of billions of dollars and then give it away to our enemies or any country that supports our enemies
Now of course this is just dreaming and the Reality Doctrine will never be implemented. However, if it was, this doctrine would surely be tested by our enemies. But just once.

Nowhere in the Holy Bible have I found a word of condemnation for the operation of slavery, Old or New Testament. If slavery was so bad, why didn't Jesus, Paul or the prophets say something?
This country already lionizes Wehrmacht leaders. They go by the names of Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Custer, etc. These Marxists not only destroyed the Constitution they were sworn to uphold, but apostatized the word of God. Either these depraved infidels or the Constitution and Scriptures are in error. I'm more persuaded by the word of God.

"Tar sands" ? It is "oil sands". Anywho, there are gazillion miles of pipelines crisscrossing the United States. why the protest against Keystone? It's cause The Mullah In Chief in the White House wants to ensure all American money for oil goes to the enemy — Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. The states which behead "infidels", stone adulteresses, amputate the limbs of thieves, and flog those who espouse a contrary view — these Islamic states Obama and his bots wish to see prosper — not Canada.

What we're dealing with is not human. These things, these monsters, I've studied them inside and out for decades.
They must be disposed of without mercy and with extreme prejudice. One is enough to take down a nation if not the world.
In this day and age, willful ignorance is no excuse. Today there is a line. And anyone is on either one side or the other. That line didn't used to exist but it does now. Make sure you know where it is.
The fitch bases and the Mary Kelletts and the Lori Jacksons and all the others are here for one reason: destroy men and children and civilization.
I am here for one purpose: stop them. It's them or us. When I encounter one, my palms itch, my skin crawls and my gums bleed spontaneously.
Then I proceed to completely anihilate it. Sometimes the process takes more than a decade. (Evil is very resilient and persistent.)
I used to think like you decades ago but got over it quickly. Do what you want. There's nothing hateful about destroying that which threatens the survival of yourself and others upon whom you depend.
This is a war. These things want more than anyone else and they don't care how they get it, who they destroy. They are addicted to power and control and they will do anything to satisfy that addiction.
These things don't just want more than everyone else but they want to deny men and children what they need.
I admire your pluck but you are naive to think that you can educate or negotiate or compromise with these things. You can either destroy them or they will destroy you and everything else.
These things cannot be eqated to children. Children grow up. They learn. They aren't particularly dangerous. But these are creatures with minds arrested at three years of age and with the weapons of adults.

To be sure, it's very hard to be an atheist, especially in the modern world, which may explain why so many atheists apparently have various forms of neuroses – the denial and constant need for suppression of reality simply runs too deep and eventually takes a toll, which logically leads to psychological problems. For example, in his seminal work, Tractatus Logico-Theologicus, the eminent scholar Dr. John Warwick Montgomery points out a truism: "Psychologists such as Paul Vitz (Faith of the Fatherless) have persuasively argued that God-denial is a psychological aberration, explicable by the unfortunate experiences of the atheists holding that viewpoint

Russian authorities are investigating a milk brand after an anti-gay group accused it of promoting homosexuality to children by featuring a rainbow on its milk cartons.
The People's Council claims the label on Vesyoly Molochnik milk, owned by the multinational beverage company Pepsi Co, is in violation of St Petersburg's anti-gay propaganda law, ABC News reports.
The label features a mustachioed milkman and a prancing cow with purple spots under a rainbow.
People's Council spokesman Antoly Artukh said the label "immediately put me on alert"
"A rainbow appeared on the cartons, a world-renowned symbol of the gay movement," Mr Artukh.
Mr Artukh accused Pepsi Cola of trying to promote homosexuality to young people, saying "this is a company renowned for actively and aggressively financing and promoting homosexuality."

I've been thinking about this for a while and have attempted to start a thread asking for help, but have backed out of it several times. I know our Father hates the sin, but loves the sinner, I know what the scriptures say, have them all underlined, bolded and committed to my heart. This is what I need to know and have decided to ask you all for your thoughts.
Homosexuality is so blatantly in your face these days and it's considered to be "chic" or "in" to be gay. If you speak out against it and go to the scriptures to make your point, you are called a bigot and hater. Everywhere you go you are surrounded by homosexuals and you can't avoid having to interact with them in your daily life. My hairdresser is gay, at the hospital/Dr.s office, etc.
Once my husband and I were in a popular home decor store and I was buying items to put on the Christmas tree. There were several gay couples (men) shopping too. I bumped my husband, putting some glittered pieces in my cart, and got glitter all over his shirt. He was mortified and grumbled at me under his breath while frantically trying to brush the glitter off his shirt. He stuck to me like a shadow and was rushing me to get out of the store. This is one of those times I laughed so hard tears ran down my legs!
Supporting Chic-Fil-A day on her facebook page my daughter was flamed by her supervisor for "judging others" and claims to be a Christian while supporting gay marriage and has gay friends coming up for a visit and wants her to meet them.
I've only been to this hairdresser twice but am thinking of changing salons. He doesn't discuss his private life and doesn't flaunt his gaydom, but there is no denying his lifestyle. How do you all handle everyday situations and are we to avoid interacting with gays? I guess the fact that I don't feel comfortable going there is my answer, but there are other areas in life you can't avoid.

5 Ways to Avoid the Dreaded TSA Pat-Down
Navigate Through Security Procedures
Video: Can TSA See Your Privates?Fact or Fiction: The TSA can see your privates during an airport body scan.
Most travelers didn't expect to kick off their vacation being felt up by a well-meaning TSA agent. While many people consider it another level of security, other fliers are aggravated with existing security procedures. Approximately 78 airports are using full-body scanners – officially known as Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) – and, the debate rages on between those who find the revealing scans an invasion of privacy and those who agree it's all in the name of safety.
Refer to the TSA's Passenger Civil Rights if you feel you are wrongly treated. In the meantime, check out our tips on how to navigate security without a pat-down.
Expose Yourself With AIT
If all goes well, you can avoid an airport pat-down if you opt for the full-body scan and pass through with no issues. You may expose more of yourself than you wish in the digitized photos of your body; however, the TSA assures the public that images cannot be stored, printed or transmitted. TSA staff is not permitted to bring cell phones or cameras into an AIT viewing room, so you should be protected from your scans showing up on Facebook or beyond. And with the millions of travelers passing through security, it's safe to assume that TSA staff has little time to review pictures outside of the scope of their work or pick their favorites as they flash on the screen.
Empty Your Pockets
It is part of the airport routine to empty your pockets at the security line, but there's always the risk that a rogue penny or errant house key tucked into a back pocket may sound alarms while you're passing through a scanner. Simplify the security routine by clearing out your pockets before you get to the airport, keeping any essentials in your carry-on bag to avoid a close encounter with a TSA agent.
Dress the Part
You may already consider your travel clothes for ease and comfort, but now consider the materials, too. Avoid any clothing with a high metal content—we're not talking a suit of armor, rather trendy tops with built-in necklaces adorning the neckline, metal snaps or studs and even underwire bras that might set off an alarm. You'll already be expected to take off your belt or skip it altogether (elastic-waist-band pants are more suitable for packing in a holiday feast anyway).
Ditch the Bling
Exercise your right to accessorize once you arrive at your destination and take the "less is more" approach for airport travel. Heavy jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, watches and bracelets, could trigger an alarm in a metal detector or body scanner. Remove these before you proceed through security, or stow them away in your bags.
Bypass the Airport
The only true way to avoid the full-body scan and the pat-down is to hit the open road in a car, bus or train. While not every airport has installed the full-body scanners, the TSA plans to continue expansion through 2011, which means the new travel security procedures aren't likely to change anytime soon.

2011 was a great year, and the Q5 made for an even better year for the Audi brand. In December 2011 the company had sold 24,908 units year-to-date (YTD), compared to 23, 518 units YTD in December 2010, which was a 5.9% increase.
These numbers may impress you, but as for me, I had to experience the Q5 for myself to believe the hype.
When the Q5 arrived for the week visit, I have to admit that I wasn't expected to be wowed. After all, this is the little brother (or sister) to the illustrious Q7, which blew me away when I first drove it. How much better could a mini SUV be, anyways? I still sometimes succumb to the "Bigger is Better" mentality, so you can understand where my thinking comes from. However, one week with the Q5 was enough to change that mindset.
The Interior
To say that the cabin is "plush" is an understatement.
I'll offer you fair warning. Once you go with a Prestige and Luxury package in any Audi, you'll never go back to just a regular interior. The Bang and Olufsen sound system, thermo cupholder, leather instrument panel top and door arm rests, premium Milano ventilated front seats, parking system plus with rearview camera, Audi side assist that lights up when there's a car in your blind spot, and Audi adaptive light is enough to convert you into a "car snob". If you can shell out the extra $9,500 for these upgrades, we'll let you slide a little if you want to be snooty.
If that's not enough, let's add on a little more comfort and convenience, shall we? The heatable, 12-way power front seats allows you to get that seat just right. Add on the memory driver seating so you don't have to manually adjust the seat every time you get in the car. Then when you're ready to start the engine, all you have to do is press a button. The advanced key just has to be anywhere inside the car for it to start.
With all these little luxuries, a 5-hour drive to Vegas is much better than riding first class in any jet plane - even if the trip is much longer. The Q5 is a great little road warrior for the front seat passengers, but doesn't leave too much leg room for back seat riders unless they're little kids or if any of the front passengers has long legs (as my fiance does). And if you are riding with children in the back seat on long road trips, you can have them look up in the sky via the panoramic sun roof and play "I Spy".
As for the bells and whistles, the Multi-Media Interface (MMI) in the Q5 is a familiar sight for Audi enthusiasts. Navigation, music (including SIRIUS satellite radio with 3 month complimentary subscription), and driver settings can be accessed with a knob right below the gear shift. With bluetooth you do have other options for music, including streaming of Pandora from a smart phone or synching an iPod. Then there's a CD/DVD player and slots for SD cards.
The Exterior
Another wow factor that adds pizazz to the Audi Q5 is the S-line package. Our tester was equipped with 20-inch wheels and 255/45 summer performance tires. You also get the xenon plus headlamps with LED daytime running lights, which isn't available in the Premium or Premium Plus versions.
As far as outer appearances go, who is going to argue the fact that this car looks good? The distinctive grille; the curvy, sporty stature; and the little details like the honeycomb-designed inlays plus chrome accents all combine together to create one fine-looking vehicle that demands a double take.
I could go on and on about how the car looks good on the outside, but we'll let these pictures speak for themselves…
The Drive
The Q5 3.2 is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission and the standard quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The Audi drive select, which is a $2,950 option, puts you in charge of how you want to conquer the road. Drive select gives you the choice of "comfort", "auto", or "dynamic" which configures the engine, transmission, steering, shock absorbers and the sport differential depending on which option you choose. I spent most of the time in "auto", but at times switched to the sporty "dynamic" when navigating through windy roads and hills.
When trying to come up with an adjective to describe how I feel when driving the Q5, the only word that repeats in my mind is "steadfast". The Q5 hugs the road, making it easy to weave through highway traffic. With 270 horsepower, you have enough to give you a little boost when stepping on the gas pedal.
At 18 city MPG and 23 highway MPG, the Q5 gets pretty decent gas mileage. I averaged about 21 mpg in my week with the Q5, which included a combination of city and highway, but mostly highway - and the air conditioning on about half the time.
The base price for the 2011 Audi Q5 3.2 is $42,500. Tag on all the luxuries we mentioned in this review and you're looking at a total price of $59,900.00

Duke's run in the NCAA tournament hit a snag in the second round against Lehigh.
Duke was unable to contain their star forward, C.J. McCollum, on the perimeter, who scorched the Blue Devils' defense for 30 points, six rebounds and six assists. The Blue Devils were unable hit get into any kind of groove on offense, only hitting six of 26 shots from beyond the arch.
With the possibility of Mason Plumlee entering the NBA draft and the high likelihood of Austin Rivers following suite, people are predicting Duke to have a down year.
That might not be the case. Coach Krzyzewski knows how to rebuild.
Here are five reasons to get excited about for next season's Duke Blue Devil team.

There are days I look at my tired thirty-something hands – all veiny, tanned and starting to look all weathered – and scoff. I wish they could stay smooth and ageless forever.
Then I look at my grandmother's hands worn with age spots, veins and deep wrinkles. I wonder if my hands will ever look like hers. Most likely. I sigh, mostly in despair at the inevitable.
Then I take a closer look at her frail once strong hands, holding mine.
Those are hands that tenderly rocked me when I was sick.
Hands that gently bandaged up numerous "owies".
Hands that changed and washed the diapers of countless children (hers and others).
Hands that held my own to cross the street for school and for church.
Hands that carefully searched for my paci any time I lost it and couldn't do without it.
Hands that learned how to work for the first time, then worked to the bone to make ends meet after her husband died, leaving her with 6 teenagers to raise alone.
Hands that held tightly to her children when she was striped of titles, land and riche as she escaped a civil war and immigrated to a new country.
Hands that sewed her first doll when she was away at a boarding school and not even her parents would visit her.
Hands that sewed countless dresses, with pin pricks too countless to recall, just so that her daughter and granddaughter would not be
in want.
Those are the same hands that sewed my security pillow in a new and creative way each time it shriveled to pieces. Again and again.
Hands that cleaned every mess that wasn't hers without complaint.
Hands that took meals to strangers when they were sick, injured or just because.
Hands that showed me how to make a bed and how to properly clean a bathroom.
Hands that found a way to be at every wedding, graduation, dance recital, game, birthday and every other special occasion even though she didn't (and never learned how to) drive.
Hands that woove the fabric of our family history, and that are now holding my babies, her great-grandchildren, wishing that she could care for them in the same way she did her own.
At every turn in her eighty-five years of life, her hands loved deeply and with everything she had. She has the scars, wrinkles and age spots to prove it. She has earned every one of those marks, and there is a story behind each line.
I can only hope to use my hands to give freely and selflessly serve others in the way she did. And at the end of my life, I hope that my hands look exactly like hers. Beautiful. I hope I can teach my children to love my hands like I love hers.
I love you, Vovi.

Yesterday was the start of something different.
I'm playing a game where, if you have the friends, you can level in five hours. It's strangely familiar yet scarily different place to be, with so much to learn and gather and take in... it's a bit daunting to start with. It always is, as I recall, these first few days of finding your feet and working out what to do first. Needless to say there are always those who want to get there before anyone else. I've been there and done that, but I didn't enjoy being rushed, so this time I decided that the best thing to do is to take it at my pace and to enjoy the parts of the game I love the most: the gathering and the crafting.
If you ignore the leather (and the Ogre Tannin, you never know when you'll need a Ogre Suit after all...) you're looking at what will be the building blocks of all crafted gear on Azeroth of any value for the next X months, the Volatiles. As you can see, I am yet to find a reliable source of Volatile Air (all on it's lonesome awww) but I'm guessing the two zones I've not yet even thought about will supply a source. My mate Basil's already told you just how important these things will be and it's a foolish woman who doesn't understand that as a crafter you can't do anything without these, and the last thing you want to be doing is buying them on the AH for quite some time.
This has meant that while P has been working her way through Underwater World (I know I said she was going to Hyjal but my husband decided he fancied swimming first, more on this later) I sent M the Rogue out to Wintergrasp. Yes, you read that right, I ground 450-500 skills in both Mining and Herbalism in a quiet and unfussed environment. Nothing worse than going to a new zone, hitting or collecting and finding your skill is too low, after all. Once properly armed I headed for Hyjal (as much for a look see as anything else) and spent the best part of yesterday afternoon gathering. The results mean I have started Jewelcrafting and Inscription as well as Alchemy, with a supply of ore on standby for Engineering once the Royal Mail get around to delivering my second copy of the Expansion. Leatherworking on P is already a healthy 505 with a Cloak of Beasts waiting in the bank for when I get to 83.
|FOUR Pyrite!!! That's... er... 4 more than I thought I'd get!
I have noticed a distinct change in the mentality for gathering: before one would need to be mindful of wandering beasts near nodes, which if you worked at low level could be a hindrance. With so much of Cataclysm operating in phased realities there seems to be little or no issue with getting to nodes in even the most inaccessible places, though the phasing itself can cause some comedy issues of it's own (a spot in Hyjal springs to mind where you can see a node from one area but it disappears as you phase into the next, and it's impossible to mine it from the unphased side ^^) Needless to say even at peak times yesterday it was not a problem to get raw materials. As a skinner, it's a bit like Christmas in the starting zones: I spent ninety minutes skinning crabs even before I started questing on Wednesday morning (our realm first L80 took 11 hours btw) and I'm told that in Hyjal (where I'll need to go for the Blackened Dragonscale I need for Hunter Gears) it's just as mental. If anyone wondered why Blizzard don't give skinners XP, there's the reason.
|More Eels to skin than frankly I can cope with...
There's also been some fishing and some exploring on P but currently I'm saving the questing for the evenings so myself and my husband can level together. I have to say, without a doubt, this is the most fun I've had levelling with him since Vanilla. There have been issues (of which I will address in a separate post) but in the main it's just been AWESOME. For now the time I have in the day is all about making things, and I don't think I've ever been happier as a result.

The anonymous reader, responding to an FCW article about the Army's plans to insource core functions now being handled by contractors, points out agencies are likely to expand their staffs at the expense of the contractors.
"Whether inherently a governmental-only function or not, what does that say for the contractor that invested time [and] money on that individual, sourced him to fulfill the customers mission, and the customer is now hiring that individual off from the contractor?" the reader commented "And, of course, no finder's fee [will be paid]."
The theft of talent weakens companies that are already struggling to deal with financial instability, the reader believes, putting the administration's insourcing policy at odds with its economic policies.
(As an aside: The question of finder's fees was raised last summer when the administration officials first began talking up insourcing. But numerous government readers noted that agencies never see a dime when contractors hire away government employees.)
What do you say?

Stealing - Yes. At least in the old days it was bsased on a competiiton. This insourcing movement is all about federal employees building their offices and government jobs. If it were really avout capabilities we would hear more about full cost and qualifications.
I think for years, under the last administration, contract companies were making large profits from government contracts and now they want to complain about this. What about losing employees to other contractors?
I am a manager for a federal government contractor providing services. I have hired more than 60 employees. I can only present my personal and simple scorecard for the past 8 years:
Federal Employees Hired - 2 (their stated reason for accepting offer: they were not being advanced fast enough)
Company Employees Hired by Federal Government - 18; of which 15 did not change work desk nor work phone number (their stated reasons for accepting offer: less risk of being laid-off, better benefits, and/or higher pay)
As all(?) have already said - what's the fuss? "Investment of Time and Money" - last seen maybe in 90's - since then there has been zero investments on individuals, it's all up to a person today. Please, I'm from time when 2-3 months a year was company paid for further education - not training, totally different thing! - since then it has gone to zero and any further education has to taken on own time, don't waste company time and / or money?
The same argument has been made for decades where contractor employees have poached government employees who, obviously, were trained at taxpayer expense. Get over it!

Objective: To investigate the influence of professional dance training on the peak torque ratio of plantar flexion to dorsiflexion (PF/DF), angle replication ability, and balance in comparison to age-matched and gender-matched controls. The effects of injuries sustained before and during the study time period were also assessed.
Design: Prospective age-matched and gender-matched nonrandomized intervention study.
Setting: Premises of the Orthopedic University Hospital, Heidelberg, where measuring apparatus belonging to the hospital was used for the tests.
Participants: One group of 42 dancers (31 female, 11 male) in professional training (State Academy) and 40 age-matched and gender-matched controls with no prior dance or specific sport training.
Main Outcome Measurements: Isokinetic tests for peak torque at 30°/s and 120°/s, a passive angle-replication test (Biodex system 3), and a test of 1-legged standing were each carried out on 2 measurement dates (M1, M2): at the beginning of a season of professional dance training (M1) and after 5 months of such training (M2). Symptoms and/or injuries sustained during this period were ascertained continuously by means of questionnaires and interviews.
Results: A significant increase in peak torque in PF was observed in both dancer groups and male controls between M1 and M2. A significant increase in PF/DF peak torque ratio at 30°/s was observed in both male groups between M1 and M2. At M2, no significant differences in PF/DF peak torque ratio could be found between male dancers and controls, but at 30°/s between the female groups. However, in both female groups, the PF/DF ratio was not found to increase significantly between M1 and M2. In the angle-replication and 1-legged standing test, no consistent improvement was observed between M1 and M2 in either dancers or controls. In the angle-replication test, there were no significant differences between dancers and controls at M2. In the 1-legged standing test, the dancers did significantly better than controls. A total of 7 ankle injuries were recorded, but no difference was found between injured and uninjured subjects in the proprioceptive tests either at M1, as the predicator, or at M2 as the residual.
Conclusions: Dance training did not increase the peak torque ratio of PF/DF within 5 months, but a group difference was found between the women groups. Ballet training alone without concurrent additional coordinative training does not lead to improvements in ankle joint position sense or improved measures of balance within this period of observation.

Chicago, IL (November 20, 2009) - Father Charles F. Kelly, Pastor Emeritus of St. Daniel the Prophet Parish in Chicago, died on Thursday, November 19, 2009. He died at Holy Family Villa in Palos Park where he had been a resident. He was 87 years old.
A native of Chicago, Fr. Kelly was a graduate of St. Ignatius elementary school, Quigley Preparatory Seminary, St. Mary of the Lake College in Niles and the University of St. Mary of the Lake / Mundelein Seminary. He was ordained on May 8, 1948 by Samuel Cardinal Stritch.
Fr. Kellys first assignment in 1948 was at St. Francis Xavier Parish in LaGrange, where he served as assistant pastor for seven years. From 1955 to 1964, he was associate pastor at St. Benedict Parish in Blue Island.
In 1964, he was named assistant pastor of St. Ethelreda Parish (now closed), where he served for five years. In 1969, Fr. Kelly was appointed administrator of Presentation Parish (now closed), where he remained for one year. In 1970, Fr. Kelly was named assistant pastor of St. Mathias Parish, where he served for two years.
Fr. Kellys next appointment was as Pastor of St. Philomena Parish, where he remained for the next 12 years. Fr. Kelly then served as Pastor of St. Daniel the Prophet Parish from 1984 until 1992, when he was named Pastor Emeritus. Fr. Kelly remained at St. Daniel the Prophet Parish until his death.
The wake will be held on Tuesday, November 24, from 4 to 9 p.m. at St. Daniel the Prophet Parish, 5300 South Natoma Avenue in Chicago.
Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago, will be the main celebrant at a funeral Mass that will be held on Wednesday, November 25, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Daniel the Prophet Parish. Interment will be at All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines, Illinois.
Fr. Kelly is survived by a nephew.

Skip to comments.From my inbox: Shutting down FR's support - extortion attempt
Posted on 10/23/2009 2:32:06 PM PDT by Jim RobinsonEdited on 10/23/2009 7:01:36 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Hello Jim,
Since you've done what you've done to another reporter of mine when others seem to be allowed to post back to their blog or sites viablogger section, I've taken the liberty to gathering information about your website.
1. I've determined the need for all that money a month is invalid. I run a major website, and do not need that much.
2. You seem to be running the show, not a major building with staff.
3. Donations like this should be going elsewhere, needed, not into YOUR pockets.
4. I am having a press release written on FR, urging citizens to stop wasting their money on you, and to donate for a better cause, elsewhere.
5. I will not stop, unless the price is right. Yes, this is a bribe, because I will not screw you over had you not screwed me over. But it can change with swift talks.
6. You are not a true AMERICA LOVER.
7. Have a nice day, expect your vendors to pull out soon and your donations frozen.
Kevin Martin SCWXA.org Southern California Weather Authority.
Watch his FR statement on video here and see if you think this is a guy capable of satire. Your skepticism is healthy, but in this case we have a delusional, mentally ill borderline personality who appears ready to go fully psycho.
What the...?
What a jerk...! Boy is HE going to get some mail..!!!!
Is this for real?
This is going to be fun...
wow! don't take this, Jim.
What is the Southern California Weather Authority?
I knew Martin was a nutcase, but didn't realize how much of a nutcase. He should stick running his scams instead of trying to spam his spats over the internet.
Hey Mr Martin, Knock yourself out, pal.
"His" website is a piece of CRAP!
This is Hugh!
This is a BRIBE? So...he's offering to give money to YOU?
This is extortion, and...well, that's ILLEGAL.
I've already donated this time, but I made an additional $20 donation in this @$$hole's name. Please give him credit. Thanks
Are you trembling in fear yet? What a weenie.
Disgruntled banned former FReeper?
5. I will not stop, unless the price is right. Yes, this is a bribe, because I will not screw you over had you not screwed me over. But it can change with swift talks.IANAL but that statement seems to me to provide the grounds needed for a lawsuit (or possibly even a criminal investigation). Have you talked to your legal-beagles on this?
Kind of pointless. There are really only two seasons: "Sunny" and "On fire."
I guess it is time for me to donate to FR. How do you like them apples Kevin Martin SCWXA.org Southern California Weather Authority
From his website;
"People will start battling the known sources like SCWXA to get into first place," ended Martin. "This reminds me of starving actors following the known ones around to gather dirt on them to ruin and slow their career down. It is pretty pathetic that we have these jealous people out there. However, that is complex life."
Vendors??? You have vendors?? Do they sell soft pretzels??
I wonder if REI knowingly advertises there.
He apparently has harassment issues with web sites.
"This is Hugh!"
It might be series, to, though we prolly won't know more for a while yet...
spurting iced tea out of my nose at that!!!!
Is this the same Kevin Martin who was or is a FReeper?
Or, is this guy simply too pathetic to be worth any serious counter-efforts?
As always, the best to you and your whole family, and friends, and organization.
Congressman Billybob
Don't Tread On Me (9/12 photo and poster"
Has this guy been smoking crack? His ramblings make no sense at all.
Why the heck would you extort someone and leave a paper (electronic) trail?
HuffPo? /s
I think we should send Kev a nice e-mail, Jim...how 'bout you?
Where's the popcorn vendors? This thread will need some....

You sure this guy ain't Batman Jack Thompson's second cousin?
"And we now Decree your island the Dethklok home for wayward kitties." Awesome.
You forgot the other two seasons: Riot and Earthquake.
Is the Southern California Weather Authority a subsidiary of the Weather Underground?
I could use a beer and a hotdog.
What koolaid has he been drinking?
Kevin Martin is a sleazebag.
Kevin Martin (no relation to our own TrueBlackMan)- wasn't this the guy caught up in all those pyramid schemes and has all these phony weather websites that are nothing more than fronts to push MLMs and other scams?
Would a guy like that try to extort money from you? Why I never...
"Kind of pointless. There are really only two seasons: Sunny and On fire.
No, no...we have four seasons...you left out "flooding" and "sliding"...
What an imbecile!
I believe this is refered to as "torturous interference".
BTW, was this sent from a personal email .... or from a company email. If it is the later, you might want to communicate with the owner of the domain and ask to speak with their legal department ... so you can determine if this communicated threat is their official position and if the individual was acting as an agent of that company.
Don't forget about "Storm Watch '09" 24 hour coverage when it drizzles.
Oooooh! Pick me up one of those "We're #1" foam thingies while you're getting your pretzel!
And a Pepsi. That's all I need... a foam thingy and a Pepsi.
And maybe a hot dog. That's all I need... a foam thingy, a Pepsi and a hot dog.
And some peanuts. A foam thingy, a Pepsi, a hot dog and some peanuts.
