About Me
So I am a former chemist and meteorologist (USAF) and then got the MFA in creative writing - novels--Penn State. Now I own a high tech company that deals in technical support for high end data storage. I am good at math and so got stuck doing accounting, quotes, sales, and inventory -- clay and glass are an oasis. I refuse to turn on the computer over the weekend, my method for art is eclectic and about as unscientific as you can get. I just try stuff. You'd think that making my own glazes would be natural, as a chemist, but I can't face it. Too organized for my free time, so i buy off the shelf. I love painting on glass with Reusche paints.Find it mesmerizing.. When painting or working with glass or clay I can forget employees, sales or lack thereof and am free. never have considered myself an artist.I am a craftsman. Sorry for the typing. iPad. I find myself drawn to medieval imagery and method, it draws me in. I give away my pieces if someone likes one. Part of that is the detachment from lack of confidence that what I've made is really worthy, but then they still are my children of sorts. (Of course to be honest, if I don't give some of them away there would be no room for the new ones.). thank you all for your posts. I get ideas every time I read this list. It is strange that I know that I should take notes and document what happens with each project, but I just don't want to. There's already too much structure in my iLife . so thats a struggle. Mentally I need the freedom to experiment. Does anyone else feel that way ?

Colo. to accelerate state construction projects
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Gov. John Hickenlooper and the head of the state's transportation department say more construction projects will get under way sooner because of a new budgeting plan expected to free up $300 million annually over five years.
Hickenlooper and Colorado Department of Transportation Executive Director Don Hunt say projects will begin based on the money the state currently has saved up for projects. It's a change from the current system of waiting to save all the money needed to begin a project, which takes years.
That's welcome news for one group behind a lot of the long-term planning for the Pikes Peak region.
"If there is a safety issue on Interstate 25 or Powers Boulevard we're going to look really hard at those projects and see if they are ready to go," said Rob MacDonald of the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments.
MacDonald said his group plans for projects 30 years in advance and budgets projects six years in advance, so having projects ready to go isn't a problem. The only bump in the road at this point is not having the criteria set for using the money. MacDonald said that information should be out by February 2013.
"We really are looking forward to see what evolves from this to make sure we have some projects that move forward," MacDonald.
In an ideal world, MacDonald said, the money would allow construction to begin on improvements to Interstate 25 through Colorado Springs, Highway 24 from downtown to Manitou Springs and Highway 16, also known to many as Powers Boulevard.
"They have safety issues, capacity issues and they all need to be looked at as the criteria comes out for the new money," said MacDonald.
The change is expected to free up the money over five years. The governor's office says speeding up construction is expected to create or sustain more than 10,500 jobs during that time.
Hickenlooper and Hunt made the announcement Friday. Hunt says the new budgeting plan is being implemented now.

Dozens of drivers have been ticketed by police after they were snapped on the wrong side of the road on the busy South Island tourist route the Devil's Staircase near Queenstown.
Forty-nine vehicles, including 19 rental vehicles, were photographed crossing the centre line on State Highway 6 between Frankton and Kingston last month.
"It doesn't make me angry, it worries me more than anything else," Southern district road policing manager Inspector Andrew Burns said.
"It is only by good luck that we don't have more incidents ... because if someone else was coming around the corner in some of those photos, it may not be a head-on collision but one or both vehicles are going to swerve to get out of the way."
He noted the route also attracted around 150 tourist buses travelling between Queenstown and Milford Sound during summer months.
"You have the potential there for quite a serious crash - and we get a lot of near misses."
He said it was probably good luck there were not more head-on crashes in the southern district.
"Good quality cameras and lenses" enabled officers to spot infringements such as people talking on cellphones or not wearing seatbelts.
Asked if the campaign was revenue gathering, Mr Burns was unapologetic: "Have a look at those photos: is that a road safety issue or is this about collecting money?"

Thomas Gale
Hi Madeline. My name is Dianne Gale O'Neal. My father was Ovie Gale. I think Thomas Gale is my Great Great Great Grandfather. I have just started researching my family history. Not only the Gale side. But also researching the Morgan and Willis families. My Grandma on my Mom's side was a Morgan. I would appreciate any help you could give me on the Gale or Morgan families. Right now I am just doing Daddy. And so far that has taken me to Thomas Gale. May I ask you who you're parents and or grandparents are? I don't think you can research the Gale without running into the Morgan's sooner or later. :) If you would like to email me my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. Have a great evening. Take care. Sincerely, Dianne

Richard H. Naas
My family was just going a vacant house in which we have owned for quite some time now. We happened to come across military discharge documents for a Corporal Richard H. Naas in 1943. Nothing would make me happier than to get these documents back to his immediate family. Could you verify that you are indeed his family by providing some of the information which might be on this document?

RE: John and Sophia Boeckman
It is a pretty souvenir plate that has a couple dancing on it. Their names and date of wedding and 50th anniversary were added to the plate. It is something that was probably purchased as a gift from a gift shop like Hallmark for the anniversary.

The rules that govern league play in SNSA recreational leagues are based on the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) "Laws of the Game", with sigificant variations specific to recreational soccer and small-sided games.
SNSA follows the FIFA Laws of the Game; however, some rules have been modified to accommodate the youth game and smaller play formats. Click on the link below for a summary of rules modifications for the various play formats.
SNSA has adopted a rostering policy to govern the assignment of players to teams in our HUYS and SHU youth recreational leagues. While we do our best to accommodate a player's coach or player preference requests, we also have an obligation to consider other criteria, including roster size and competitive balance within and age gender group. Click on the link below to review the SNSA Rostering Policy.
Do you have questions about your roster? How to add a player, locate a missing player, or report a player drop? How to add a coach? How to secure emergency medical consent from your parents? Click on the link below for answers to these and other questions related to your team roster.
In September 2008, SNSA established a policy to prohibit players that are registered with a competitive club team from registering with an SNSA recreational league. This policy does not affect the ability of an SNSA recreational player to guest-play for a competitive club team for a tournament or special event.
In a policy established December 1, 2006, the SNSA Board voted to require all Henderson United Youth Soccer teams to wear the league-issued uniform. This policy applies to all SNSA recreational leagues.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 400 the tread would last two times longer than graded 200.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. These grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Tires marked AA has excellent traction performance and tires marked C may have poor traction performance.
The temperature grades are A (highest), B and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to de- generate and reduce tire life, and excess temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard # 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Rush Soccer has a new partner in Africa! Sierra Leone Rush becomes Rush Soccer's 14th international partner. Located on the western coast of Africa, Sierra Leone is a country of over 6 million people. The new club will be located in the town Wellington, a relatively poor community a few miles outside of the nation's capital, Freetown.
Sierra Leone Rush aims to provide its members with high quality soccer instruction through a group of volunteer coaches, many of whom are former Sierra Leone national team players. The membership of Sierra Leone Rush is more than 105 players, with boys and girls from 9 to 18 years of age. Two of the club's players are on the U17 national team in Sierra Leone.
The club caters to the needs of competitive and developmental players. It also provides educational support services such as access to a library and computer training. The club has high demand and will likely grow in size in the coming months.
The new club will be led by Abdulrahman Sesay, who will serve as the Club President.
"Abdul has the experience and commitment to make the club a great success," said Rush Soccer Community Outreach Manager, Betsy Kummer. "He is a role model to the youth in Wellington and someone who has been successful on and off the field."
Abdul is a former national team member and also played on the Los Angeles Galaxy reserve team. He holds a master's degree in sports psychology, holds a USSF coaching license, and runs a grassroots nonprofit organization (Give Back to the Children Project) dedicated to the wellbeing of youth in the Wellington community where he grew up.
Abdul is very excited about partnering with the Rush. "It's official and I'm happy. We have a new partnership with the best youth soccer organization in the United States," said Abdul. "Everything Rush stands for, I stand for. This is what I'm looking for."

Political website TheHill.com posted an article today on a potential showdown looming on the floor of the House of Representatives next month when the Defense Appropriations Bill is put to vote.
The issue? The amendment included in the bill that would eliminate military spending on sponsorships in pro sports, including NASCAR and bass fishing. As many BassFans are aware, the National Guard is a major sponsor of FLW and FLW has started its own campaign to raise awareness of the issues involved and to trumpet the value of the partnership.

Two journalists killed in two days in Syria
New York, March 10, 2014--Two journalists were killed over the weekend while covering the conflict in Syria, the deadliest country for the press.
New York, March 10, 2014--Two journalists were killed over the weekend while covering the conflict in Syria, the deadliest country for the press.
New York, September 18, 2012--Authorities in Belarus must immediately investigate the attack and detention of at least seven journalists reporting on a protest in downtown Minsk today and bring the perpetrators to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said.
Agents in plainclothes repeatedly hit several journalists covering an opposition protest organized by activists calling for a boycott of Sunday's parliamentary vote, according to news reports. Sergei Grits, a photographer for The Associated Press, said his face was covered with blood after one of the assailants punched him and broke his glasses, according to AP.
New York, February 17, 2011--Authorities in Bahrain and Yemen have escalated their physical attack on the press in order to censor coverage of spreading anti-government protests, the Committee to protect Journalists said today. Also, in Iraq, at least two journalists were attacked by guards for the Kurdistan Democratic Party's building, local journalists told CPJ.
Letters | Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory
Dear Minister Barak: The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by a recent spate of press freedom violations in the West Bank, including detentions, censorship, harassment, and physical attacks by Israeli soldiers. We ask that you ensure that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) examine the cases outlined below and discipline any individuals who are found to have committed violations.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Very pleasant place to stay in Milano. Great location - 10 min walk from Duomo, If someone doesn't want to go on foot, tram and bus stop are very close to the house gate. Good connection with train and airport. Apartment is well equipped, very stylish and really quiet. Claudia gives many information about the city and generally is very helpful person (flexible hours of check-in and check-out).
very nice apartment, near to the city center (max. 15 min. walk). Claudia was very helpful and gave us a lot of site seeing hints.
We enjoyed our stay very much and we absolutely recommend this apartment.
Claudia provided we with some directions and it was more than easy to find the apartment where she already waited for me and surprised me with some breakfast and lots and lots of information about what to do in Milan.
The apartment itself is so lovely and cosy, it was quite hard to leave it. It´s situated in a fun street with lots of little shops and bars and coffees - the Navigli district is about 5min walking and Duomo 10 to 15 min walking - but there is also a tram right in front of the house.
It´s the perfect place to explore Milan by foot (or bike).
We had a wonderful stay in Claudia's lovely apartment. I would definitely recommend it.
It is well placed, the Dome is very close and there are a lot really good restaurants nearby.
Claudia is also very friendly and has good recommendations on where to dine and shop.
The apartment is very central and has many good restaurants and gelaterias in the area. It is equipped with everything we needed. The only drawback is that you can hear the neighbors coming home. Claudia was a very nice host and gave us many helpful tips to explore the city. We can recommend Claudia's apartment.
I'm verry sorry for my late mail.
We came back to Japan from Italy today,
and my tablet PC was broken during our trabel.
So that's why I didn't send you.
I'm sorry.
Anyway your apartment's location is very convenient for any sightseeing destinations.
And there are kichen utensils such as a wineopener,
they are very convenient, too.
More your apartment is comfortable,
so we could feel we had lived there even staying for only 4 days,
Thank you very much for you and your cute apartment.
we loved staying at Claudia's apartment. It is very comfortable and relaxed despite being very central and close to the historic centre. It is perfect for a couple for a long weekend in Milano. Claudia is very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend!
Apartment was beautiful. Ideal clean and charming. Lokalisation is perfect. Thank you Claudia.
our stay in milano was great, the place is super central and comfy. there are lots of restaurants and bars close to the apartment. would book it definitely again!
The appartment is nice in the centre of Milan, all the interestng things are at walking distance. We were a bit disappointed that the promised bikes were not available.
The bed was a rather thin matrass and not very comfortable. The shower was in the bathtub wit a curtain around it, it was a bit narrow and small.
Good atmospere in the room and nice kitchen.
The rest of the building was a bit noisy, also due to constructionwork in the apprtment next door.
We enjoyed our stay in Milan but it should have been a bit more comfortable!!

Mackintosh, Dwight (1906-1999), USA
Dwight Mackintosh was born in Hayward, California, USA. Until the age of 16 he lived in the family home, then he was sent successively to three psychiatric hospitals in the region. After spending 56 years in institutions, in 1978 he was admitted to the Creative Growth Art Center, a reception and expression centre in Oakland.
Introspective and limited in his means of verbal communication, Dwight Mackintosh expressed himself solely through drawing. His graphic figures proceeded from a continuous to-and-fro motion of the hand, and his favourite subject was a person with an erect penis. He likewise paid particular attention to eyes, eyelashes, nose and navel, as well as to fingers and toes, which multiply to the extent of covering the entire surface of the drawing.
His ink compositions are accompanied by writings that are more expressive as a result of their gestural rhythm rather than their verbal meaning.

I wouldn't say there was actually any drama.
But don't mind me.. I'm just.. going to sit here and stare at your art for a while.
I've recently finished 2 things and put them on YouTube
First of all a little bit of hacking up and reattaching bits and pieces from WoW, to create a new on-use item for very rich players, the pool o' moolah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASqtDjzg3TE
Second, I've made an actual custom walk cycle for the female Dreanei https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K00iWwvn1vA
Here's something I finished the other day. It's the new title card for a webseries my buddies and I are doing, my mage is the goblin on the left
I also have a speed paint video of it. Those damn lines took FOREVER to animate!

I really agree, what ever works for you is the best!!! There are truly no rules!!!!

I really agree, what ever works for you is the best!!! There are truly no rules!!!!
As for the "she who dies with the most fabric wins" idea....well, she's already won. I was at the Houston show several years ago and one booth had a quilt shop literally full of material ALL of it from one estate. It was hard to believe that all that material came from one house, and it was yardage, not pieces.
No, you don't have to have a stash, but the slot is open for the next stasher.
It's a matter of personal choice, I think. I have a fairly modest stash, but I use things there frequently. Most of the time, I buy fabrics I see that I love - things that would be the focal point of a quilt, but that I don't have a specific use or reason for at the time. I learned a long time ago that for me, at least, it's best to buy those fabrics that grab your attention when you find them, because when you decide you want it in the future, it is unlikely to still be available. My mother, on the other hand, buys fabric for each project, but nothing for a "stash" per se.
Neither way is wrong. It's all a matter of what works for your specific situation, financial constraint, or creative process. :o
It is all about personal preference. I am lucky to have about five tubs of fabric and a large bag of scraps that I am in the process of cutting into squares , strips etc. I have however put myself on a fabric buying ban. I have enough fabric to keep me going for a good few years. On monday I cut up a huge box of jeans to make two good size denim quilts. I have a big pile of shirts that I have cut apart and they need cutting into squares , strips etc. I have started making kits up for the quilts I want to make from my stash. It is more satisfying than going to the shop to buy more fabric.
I know everyone is different, and I don't have a ridiculous amount of stash, but I am beginning to be overwhelmed by it. I found that in the last 4 years of quilting, my tastes have changed and I no longer care for some of the ones I really liked before. On the other hand, I have a couple of lines that I still REALLY love and I'm so glad I snapped them up while I could. I have been trying to use up what I have so that I have a little less to think about.
Personally, I think it is nuts to think you have to buy fabric and have a stash. Most of us have left over fabrics, particularly those who make their own designs. I suppose if you only use patterns you can buy EXACTLY what you need, but that has drawbacks also. I have two plastic drawer sets with smaller fabric pieces sorted by color and I use them all the time for accents or medium or small design elements (no way would I cut them into squares... I need them in too many shapes)! My one cupboard 8'x4'x20" is a little more than half full of yards of fabric. Sometimes I buy fabric that is sooo beautiful and know I'll find a use for it. Often I buy more than enough for a single quilt so that I can use the fabric pieces in another quilt also. I do a lot of applique and that uses up a lot of my stash. I never have gone out and bought fabric just so I can have a stash. Stash happens; if you have to shop for it you are going to end up with too much and the wrong colors.
If you are new to quilting, don't buy to have it on hand; buy because the fabric calls to you, reminds you of your brother or grandchild, or..... because you absolutely love it. A quilting friend gave me some panels of a fabric which is the most beautiful that I've ever seen. I immediately used it and then realized it would also be perfect for another friend who is a part of our extended family, so I bought several yards before it became hard to get.
Having rows and rows of shelves with fabrics is something I couldn't handle. I've only been quilting for 10 years and there are some fabrics that I bought for kiddie quilts (I have 13 grandchildren) and other fabrics that I don't really like anymore, and have very little use for now and find myself doing church drive quilts for children and older people. Tastes evolve. Stash happens. Don't work at it, let it evolve and try to keep some control over your buying impulses.
I don'thave a stash either, just small pieces. I also have a limited bugjet and only buy what I need. but some day hope to start building maybe a tiny stash.
I am with this one.
Right now I have the space for stash and I have some. I buy a lot from other quilters selling off scraps or stash. It is the only way I can afford to quilt right now so I am grateful for the stash.
If it cramps your house, makes you unhappy or you do not have the money for it then it is not the right thing. Else enjoy!
I do have a big stash and sometimes stash management can become a problem. About eight years ago, I stopped buying fabric "on speculation", buying fabric only to finish a quilt. However, I got forced into an early retirement three years ago and my husband lost his job this week. Even buying thread is hard now. I would not be able to quilt if I did not already have that stash. The way I figure it, I probably have at least another twenty years to sew and by then, the stash should be all used up.
I do quilt a lot; I have finished four charity adult size quilts in the past week or so, and have two more that probably will be finished this week. Then I make my own quilts! My first pattern is all ready to go.
I'm sorry to hear about your DH, cricket. It must be very scary for you both.

Internet, Email Force USPS to Cut Saturday First-Class Deliveries Starting August 1
Tiffany Kaiser
February 6, 2013 10:28 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It will save USPS $2 billion annually
Many aspects of our lives have made a
digital transformation
over the last decade or so. We no longer rent physical movies from the video store; we watch them on Netflix or Hulu. We no longer get subscriptions for or pick up the daily newspaper; we read the news online. We don't run to the bank as often for daily finances; we jump on our smartphone, tablet or computer for online banking.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is seeing these shifts in technology as well, but
can't seem to keep up
. Many letters, bills, etc. can now be sent electronically rather than through the mail. Hence, in an effort to save some serious money, USPS will no longer deliver mail on Saturdays starting August 1, 2013.
mail delivery
down to five days per week will save USPS about $2 billion annually. For fiscal 2012, USPS saw a net loss of $15.9 billion (three times the loss record one year previous).
While mail delivery is getting axed, USPS plans to continue package delivery on Saturdays since this particular area has seen a 14 percent increase since 2010. Mail will also still be delivered to P.O. boxes six days per week as well.
In addition, post offices will remain open on Saturdays to allow customers to drop mail/packages off, access post office boxes or buy postage stamps -- although hours will likely be cut.
USPS is expected to give an official announcement today without explicit congressional approval. Lawmakers have said this approval is necessary for a change like cutting Saturday mail delivery, but the USPS is arguing this claim.
As far as the American people go, USPS expects some opposition from those like rural communities that worry a change in scheduling could make low-cost deliveries of items like medication a thing of the past, and publishers who will have to adjust schedules with publication deadlines.
Just last month, it was reported that
USPS wanted to be more digital-friendly
in order to keep up with the times. The agency is working on a digital platform called MyPost, which will allow customers to log in and view all packages that they'll be receiving as well as those they've already received instead of searching several different sites that the packages may be coming from.
However, Paul Vogel, president of digital solutions at USPS, revealed that his office is like "a San Jose startup," with only 15 Android/Apple developers, consultants coming and going, one computer and his BlackBerry smartphone. Technological restrictions make upgrading hard to come by.
A few other major obstacles are legislation needed to get permission for new digital products, the USPS' huge instruction manual for just handful of current products (adding digital products and security certifications would turn that 1,500 page book into something unimaginable), and USPS' losses of nearly $16 billion last year led to legislative proposals to
keep making cuts
(hence, more digital tech may not be in the cards right now).
Boston Business Journal

text: Mackenzie Phillips, ex-child of 1970s show, 'One Day at a Time'is looking for attention and wants money, after revealing discreet affairs with her father. For many years, the star was always seen in public with her father. On Oprah, as she read out of her book, she often gave body language similar to when she came out years ago, confessing she was on drugs and told how she talked to herself and responded to her television, then realized she needed help. She was seen looking around and making body gestures like always as a drug attic. Her body language was a sign of not only being uncomfortable revealing claims of such relations with her deceased father, but trying to believe herself, say a well known psychologist of Hollywood. Mackenzie Phillips told TMZ, 'there's a time for everything.' In this country, there are women who still think they have stuck together so much, they must stick up for any other woman who claims a disguisting affair or anything similar. However, there are many who say they will not buy Mackenzie's book, because this is not the first time she has spoken out, only this time she waited until her Dad was dead to admit any sort of discreet encounters. Her stepmother says, whether true or not, her claims are very hard on the family. John Phillips was a former member of the famous 60s rock group, 'The Mamas and Papas' and was often seen on television with his daughter, Mackenzie. He always was seen showing support in the height of her career.

Justice vs Fear...and Justice, for this moment, prevails
Original post made by Caroline, Danville, on Aug 4, 2010
from the ruling on Proposition 8....
The Due Process Clause provides that no "State [shall]
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law." US Const Amend XIV, § 1. Due process protects
individuals against arbitrary governmental intrusion into life,
liberty or property. See Washington v Glucksberg, 521 US 702, 719-
720 (1997). When legislation burdens the exercise of a right
deemed to be fundamental, the government must show that the
intrusion withstands strict scrutiny...
The evidence shows that domestic partnerships do not
fulfill California's due process obligation to plaintiffs for two
reasons. First, domestic partnerships are distinct from marriage
and do not provide the same social meaning as marriage. FF 53-54.
Second, domestic partnerships were created specifically so that
California could offer same-sex couples rights and benefits while
explicitly withholding marriage from same-sex couples. Id, Cal Fam
Code § 297 (Gov Davis 2001 signing statement: "In California, a
legal marriage is between a man and a woman. * * * This [domestic
partnership] legislation does nothing to contradict or undermine
the definition of a legal marriage.").
The evidence at trial shows that domestic partnerships
exist solely to differentiate same-sex unions from marriages. FF
53-54. A domestic partnership is not a marriage; while domestic
partnerships offer same-sex couples almost all of the rights and
responsibilities associated with marriage, the evidence shows that
the withholding of the designation "marriage" significantly
disadvantages plaintiffs. FF 52-54. The record reflects that
marriage is a culturally superior status compared to a domestic
partnership. FF 52. California does not meet its due process
obligation to allow plaintiffs to marry by offering them a
substitute and inferior institution that denies marriage to same sex
Because plaintiffs seek to exercise their fundamental
right to marry, their claim is subject to strict scrutiny.
Zablocki, 434 US at 388. That the majority of California voters
supported Proposition 8 is irrelevant, as "fundamental rights may
not be submitted to [a] vote; they depend on the outcome of no
elections." West Virginia State Board of Education v Barnette, 319
Under strict scrutiny, the state bears the
burden of producing evidence to show that Proposition 8 is narrowly
tailored to a compelling government interest. Carey v Population
Services International, 431 US 678, 686 (1977). Because the
government defendants declined to advance such arguments,
proponents seized the role of asserting the existence of a
compelling California interest in Proposition 8.
As explained in detail in the equal protection analysis,
Proposition 8 cannot withstand rational basis review. Still less
can Proposition 8 survive the strict scrutiny required by
plaintiffs' due process claim. The minimal evidentiary
presentation made by proponents does not meet the heavy burden of
production necessary to show that Proposition 8 is narrowly
tailored to a compelling government interest. Proposition 8
cannot, therefore, withstand strict scrutiny. Moreover, proponents
do not assert that the availability of domestic partnerships
satisfies plaintiffs' fundamental right to marry; proponents
stipulated that "[t]here is a significant symbolic disparity
between domestic partnership and marriage." Doc #159-2 at 6.
Accordingly, Proposition 8 violates the Due Process Clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment.

I agree -- and imagine how many days it might make for you if you are gay. This is a mighty big step in the direction of guaranteeing full civil rights/social participation to a group that deserves it as much as any other that has "traditionally" suffered discrimination at the hands of the majority.
Kudos to Walker -- and to Boies and Olson for boldly moving forward with this strategy. It echoes MLK's "Why We Can't Wait."

A Sad Day in America when a radical minority judge can overthrow 10,000+ years of world culture and religious heritage (every religion in the world marries 1 man and 1 woman) to force feed culture change on the 'ignorant masses' who believe in traditional marriage.
The next step of the Progressive Activists like Judge Walker will be to force all US Churches to perform and recognize gay marriages.
If you've not studied the downfall of the Roman Empire, you should....America is the Modern Roman Empire and is on its way to oblivion.

Realist: Very sad you feel fear that gays are a "radical" minority bent to take over the world. Your FEAR is the only sad part. As for all "US churches to perform and recognize gay marriages" - Did we "force" the catholic church hire Women as priests? This ruling does not stop YOU from practicing your own religion- I can't believe that you would not want your own children and grand children to grow up in a society which discriminates against them in the name of "fear"-
Thank God for Judge Walker!

I agree: It's a sad day! Walker is gay and should have recused himself. Also one judge should not have the authority or the power to change what the majority of Californians voted for; Prop 8! Marriage, according to the Bible is a union between a man and a woman, not two men or two women! Gays have rights and don't need to be married to attain those rights! This country was founded on God and He is why this country has become the great country and super power it is today. Let's not destroy that!

Whether you agree, or disagree, with Judge Walker's opinion, I would hope most Americans would be troubled by Attorney David Boies quote that he believes his side won in the trial court "because religion does not have a place in American legislation". I thought this decision was about alleged discrimination of sexual preference, and not about religion. If Mr. Boies is correct, than discrimination based on religion is now legally acceptable. What Mr. Boies, and others like him, forget, is that the state is not suppose to favor one religion over another, and ALSO not favor secularism and lack of religion over religion. If you believe religion has no place in legislation and no legal rights, than you are favoring non-religion over religion, and ignoring over 150 years of legal precedent. May God help the Mr. Boies of the world, and may God help America.

Dear Cookie: the Founding Fathers recognized that there are some social Rights that should never be left to the possible tyranny of the majority, and they enshrined those Rights in the Constitution's Bill of Rights. Among those rights are Equal Protection of the Law, and Due Process of Law. Thus, every bill -- whether passed by the legislature or pursuant to referendum -- must be consistent with those bedrock principles. Determining that consistency is a judicial function, and has been since Marbury v. Madison in the early days of the Republic.
All Judge Walker did was preside over the trial and sift the evidence to determine whether there was at least a "rational basis" in public policy for Prop 8. Following the precedent set by another case involving exclusion of gays that was decided by the US Supreme Court (Romer v. Evans), he concluded that there was not such a basis. He is clearly right on the law, and will certainly be upheld by the Appellate Circuit and the Supremes. The pro-Prop 8 side put on a pretty paltry showing, but it was the best they had.
BTW, also contrary to your post, the FFs clearly recognized the pernicious effects of religion on statecraft, and provided that government should neither promote nor discriminate against any particular religion.
Finally, please know that Judge Walker is an eminently accomplished jurist, across a broad spectrum of issues. Would you have Justice Thomas recuse himself from every case involving race bias, or all the male Supremes decline to decide reverse discrimination issues? Judge Walker is not only "gay," but he's also "male," "bearded," "white," "near-sighted," "shortish," "brilliant" and somewhat "portly." I guess he shouldn't decide anything to do with any of those characteristics, either?

I love the way Prop 8 supporters use the argument that it should be reinstated because over 50% of the people agree- How often are they willing to "revote"? Somehow I can't see them accepting it when it loses popular vote? (Which based on the above statistics it eventually will be!)
Because the vote was so "close"- who knows what the result would be given the chance to re-vote on the issue, even now!
Thank god for the youth of our country, let's just hope more of them vote next time!

Well, the original poster's opinion is at least one view on the issue. Independent of whether you agree with gay marriage or not, the judge's logic in overturning a majority vote of the people is still highly debatable.
There are obviously all sorts of situations where laws impinge on an individual's rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Just a few of the ones that are "personal relationship" related include age requirements for marriage, restrictions involving blood relatives, etc. And I would submit that opinions on gay marriage are just as subjective as are opinions in other areas, as well as being more divided.
It is also very unclear as to what jurisdiction the federal government has over the issue. Marriage is never mentioned in the US constitution. Not once. And since the constitution explictly grants rights to the states to govern anything not explicitly stated as a function of the federal government, there is a fairly strong argument to be made that the issue should have been decided when the CA Supreme Court let Prop 8 stand.
It will be interesting to see what happens as this ruling is appealed to the Federal 9th Circuit Court, and then to the US Supreme Court.

1. Most of the judges who have ruled in favor of gay marriage have been nominated by Republican politicians. Perhaps we should stop allowing Republicans to nominate jurists as they seem to pick a lot of activist, liberal judges. Two Republican presidents gave us Judge Walker. Maybe, just maybe, conservative jurists recognize the proper role of limited government and have ruled accordingly.
2. Gays do need to be married to access many of the rights afforded to heterosexual couples. If Cookie has a spouse who croaks, Cookie can obtain social security benefits based on her spouse. Gay couples can't. Cookie can file a joint tax return. Gay couples can't. If Cookie's spouse adds her to his insurance policy, then they aren't hit with an additional tax like gay couples are. Cookie can inherit her spouse's property tax free. Gay couples can't. They are hit with the 50% death tax. If you're going to argue against marriage equality, it does help to, at least, make your argument factually correct.
3. What does a majority vote have to do with anything? We don't even elect our President based on majority voting and on a couple of occasions the man with the most votes did not win. Study the electoral college system. Additionally, I grew up in Selma, AL. You think a majority there would have voted to allow MLK to march across the bridge or to end discrimination against blacks? I remember when the Klan would stand at traffic lights holding out bags so that folks could make a donation to them. Please, join reality before spewing ridiculous ideas about majority voting and constitutional rights.

Now a note for those who support gay marriage - Please, please get a clue. You are presuming the American public is way ahead of where they actually are. Prop 8 won because 687,000 voters changed their mind at the last moment and voted against marriage equality. 500,000 of those folks have children under the age of 18 living at home. So, why did they change their vote? They believed the propaganda about same sex marriage somehow giving their kids TEH GAY. You're trying to get marriage equality when a vast number of Americans are stuck in the Anita Bryant fear of what affect gay people have on children. If you want marriage equality then have an honest discussion with people. Let them know gay people are actually less likely to molest children than heterosexuals. Introduce them to straight kids with gay parents. I have two grown children whom my partner and I raised and both are most definitely heterosexuals. There's no doubt that our younger two are also quite heterosexual. Being around gay people does not mean you will catch TEH GAY. So, if you want marriage equality, then you need to back the bus up and work with the many folks who are painfully ignorant about gay people and kids.

Folks who believe that monogamous marriage has existed in static form across the spans of history and civilizations are looking at misty water-colors of the way we weren't, as a species.
There's very good evidence that marriage is an artifact of private property, not procreation -- and that it didn't exist in any meaningful form until the invention of agriculture (itself the greatest innovation or cruelest joke ever played on homosapiens, depending on your viewpoint).
That's a very recent phenomenon, in terms of evolutionary history. Of course, the e-word may be anathema to some readers, but there's a pretty convincing scientific narrative about such "human nature" in the new book "Sex at Dawn."
In other words, marriage has never been the natural state of human existence -- it has been a means to an end. Before agriculture, children were raised communally in forager tribes just about everywhere (as they are in those tribes that still exist), presumably because that gave them the best chance of survival in the conditions of the 2+ million years before Ag. Sex was non-exclusive, and served many purposes beyond procreation.
With farming came surplus, and private property, and the perceived need to protect same. Suddenly (in terms of evolutionary history), it was important to know "who's yer Daddy," and marriage began to develop in a (mostly vain) attempt to ensure paternity.
Because marriage suits culture, rather than being some immutable natural state, it should be adaptable to the needs of the culture as it, itself, evolves. With the advent of greater understanding and acceptance of diversity within the US and certainly the CA culture, it follows, for me, that its rights should extend to same sex couples, whose needs regarding the protection and descent of property are identical to those of us breeders. If your religion condemns it, then by all means don't participate -- it seems downright un-Christian, however, to deny it to others.

Sometimes I imagine myself in a state where same gender relationships are the "acceptable norm" and my love for my husband is somehow not as worthy, and therefore I am offered a "civil union" and told it is just the same as what everyone has. I then think about raising children that we love in this environment, where in addition there are people who interpret portions of their religious doctrine to further assert that their parent's love for each other is perverted or some sort of sin, and I feel incredibly lucky that I don't live in that state.
My sister does, however. In spite of being in a committed relationship with her partner of 23 years, somehow her love is not supported by many in this state. Oddly, my brother-in-law's 4 brief marriages are somehow okay.
So glad to see the majority of comments on this forum in favor of the overturn of this hateful proposition. Can't wait for the rest to finally wake up. My love for my husband is no more special than that of committed same gender couples - and both situations beat the serial marriage that some hetero individuals demonstrate - again and again.

I have a question for those who favor gay marriage, and would appreciate honest and thoughtful answer: If an adult man and two adult females are truly in love and the three of them want to get married together, should they be able to? If yes, explain why. If no, explain why? I am not advocating a position one way or the other, I just think this will be an issue that will come up in the next 5 to 10 years, and maybe in a religious context, which will add another spin to the issue as well. I think some of the language in this recent gay marriage decision may end up being relevant to my hypothetical question, and we all better be ready to deal with it.

The whole "same sex marriage" argument is built on falsehood that "equal" means "the same". Once one falls in that trap, then the rest of the arguments against the same sex marriage falls apart. A man and a woman are equal as human being but are NOT the same. While I strongly support the equal right and protection for gays and their right to associate and partner with whom they choose, I find the argument for the "marriage" illogical and inconsistent with the history of mankind. We must exercise caution as to the extent that we stretch the fabric of the society! I believe the judge's opinion will be reversed based on the arguments already mentioned in this forum.

Same sex marriage shouldn't be an issue. Instead, we should be demanding that government exit the marriage business. Marriage is a Church issue. All language in our state laws that reference marriage should be changed to civil unions. Less government leads to a better life for everyone.

The Equal Protection Clause is a judicial interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The Founding Fathers did not come up with it, and indeed, there was no equality for women until 1922 or for blacks until 1964. The Founding Fathers were more than happy to have the Constitution apply only to White Males.

After all, I have an inalienable right to pursue happiness... and having a few "wives" of either sex, plus my hunting dog, is what might just make me happy.

Leave it to "people" like George to immediately make the leap from same-sex marriage to bestiality. "Duh, gee, if you want people of da same sex to get married, then maybe I'll just marry me a critter." That's the constant whine of the Prop 8 supporters. Linking same sex marriage to every form of perversion known.
The assumption seems to be that homosexuality equals bestiality. I believe that is the same rationale that was displayed in regards to a white man marrying a black woman or vice versa. And yet now mixed race marriages are normal. And the world didn't end when the courts allowed that to happen. It is the same thing here. All of you opponents will find in five years or ten years or however long it takes to sort this out that once its said and done your marriages will be as good or bad as they were before this came along and it wil not affect your lives in any way. So get over your unreasoning hatred of a lifestyle that you can't or won't understand and stop making such hateful and disgusting remarks.

Ya know, you people may choose to bury your heads in the sand, but after the recent, salacious headlines out of Livermore, I wonder whether members of certain fringe religions ought to be allowed to marry -- even once, much less concurrently.
They seem to have an 'agenda' involving sex with our children.

American, you present a semi-interesting, if off-topic question -- and even if you are asking disingenuously, as I suspect you are, I'll play. BTW, you could get a lot more creative that 1M2W -- what about 2M1W or 3M or 3W? Or more, if you wanna go all Big Love about it?
I do not get very excited about polygamy one way or the other, basically because, off-hand, I don't see a lot wrong with it. I understand that there's a fair amount of it practiced a few states over, and elsewhere probably, maybe even here -- and the Republic has not come crashing down. You Could say that it shares arguments with traditional marriage, in that it may encourage procreation (at least in the particular form you present it), and Lord knows (sorry) there just aren't enough people around.
That said, I think the legal system has it right when judges decline to decide issues that are not directly in front of them. There may be problems with polygamy that I do not appreciate, as above. The issues may need to be thoroughly vetted -- as they have been in the context of gay marriage.
So, when the country's several polygamists burst out of their closet(s) and demand equality, there will be time enough to consider the pros and cons of their claims. For now, the civil rights march mostly revolves around races, genders, various disabilities, a few religions -- and sexual orientation. Although I think we've got our societal hands pretty full, I'd like to hear the polygamist view.
Please ask your polygamist friends to stand and be counted.
BTW, jake? Did you ever notice that those who counsel caution lest we rend the social fabric are ALways on the majority side of the cloth? Methinks your focus on "differences" reflects an over-concern with plumbing, and too little regard for all the other reasons folks wed -- which DO apply "equally" between same and opposite sex couples.

The pro same sex marriage items by Paine and others are great examples that no matter how eloquent the prose and how long the dissertation, they do not lend credence to the argument. I have no doubt they believe what they say, however, beliefs do not create rights where none exist. Wish them happiness, nonetheless.

The state can grant a homosexual marriage certificate to a set of homosexuals, but a homosexual "marriage" will never be equated to that of the traditional procreative heterosexual marriage. A fruitcake by any other name remains a fruitcake, in this particular case a fruitcake marriage. When two homosexuals go to bed with each other, and one wakes up pregnant, people will then start to recognize these relationships as legitimate and not as completely perverted, until then good luck trying...

This is a pretty lean recent crop of objections from Jake and AaO, so I'll try to be brief.
Jake, nobody is seeking to "create" a right (creationism is for others to debate ;-) ). The right-to-marry already exists, to the point of being recognized as "fundamental" in our culture. As such, it is an important right. What is at-issue is the arbitrary denial of that important right to a defined group of citizens.
It's as if you might be denied the right-to-vote because you're left-handed (or, right-handed). If you objected, you wouldn't be seeking to create a right-to-vote, you'd just want to enjoy that right like everybody else, unless there was a damned good reason (a "compelling state interest") to deny it to you. And there just isn't one, in either case. Anyway, thanks for the good wishes.
AaO: those who lack intellectual ammunition resort to name-calling. And those who focus narrowly on sexual practices and results as the primary reasons for marrying, grossly trivialize the marriage institution.
Congratulations -- you've done both.
The only good thing I can think of about your post is that its tone has certain quality of resignation to it; it signals that you know the game is nearly over...and you're side is on the very verge of losing.

Citizen Paine: I am not in the name calling business, and if you would like to use a more polite word for sexual perversion, such as "gay partner" or "same-sex partner", that certainly is your prerogative, especially if it soothes your ego, and unruffles your feathers. However, our society as a whole will always perceive gay-sex as a perversion. Americans are though compassionate and realize that mentally/emotionally disturbed individuals (i.e., gay people, if you prefer the term) have ordinary rights, as well. Homosexuality is thus tolerated in our American society, the US Supreme Court legalized sodomy in 2003, Lawrence vs. Texas. According to the court, an individual in the United States has the God-given inalienable right to pursue his or her own homosexual sexual perversions without the risk of infringement upon personal liberty.
In my opinion though feces stinks for a reason, however if you don't mind the texture and smell of excretement, go ahead, knock yourself out.
What's in a name? That which we call feces, by any other name would smell as sweet.

AoO, I going to try to be gentle here, both because this is a family journal, and because you may actually be as blissfully ignorant of the world as it is, as your writings suggest you are. But while I'd defend your right to live privately according to that ignorance, when you misuse it to defend policies that deny legitimate rights to folks about whom I care, I just can't let it go unanswered.
You mention the USSC case Lawrence v. Texas, but appear not to realize that the gravamen of the Equal Protection problem with old state sodomy laws is as follows: although gays do Not have a monopoly on the equipment or the inclinations to share the practices you characterize as "perversions," and although every credible researcher since Dr. Kinsey has reported that those "perversions" are indulged, frequently and enthusiastically, by hets as well as homos, gays DID have a monopoly on being prosecuted for those recreations.
In other words, everyone is doing it (sodomy, in its several variations -- and yes, I do mean EVeryone, except, maybe, for You), but only gays risked legal consequences for their particular acts. So, the Court majority ruled, that's a denial of Equal Protection (and Justice Scalia wrote "Here comes gay marriage" -- and for once he was right).
So, to the extent that the Supremes ruled that gays have a right to their sodomies, they really only ruled that gays, TOO, have a right to their sodomies -- just like us breeders. Is this a great country, or what?
You also mis-characterize homosexuals as "mentally disturbed individuals." The DSM (sp), the "bible" of the psychiatric profession, disagrees with your conclusion. I think I'll go with them.
It's a very odd form of "tolerance" that brings forth terms like "fruitcake" and "perversion" under (and only under, I daresay) the cloak of anonymity.

i am planing on my first yr. of homey processing. what size bottles should i keep on hand? where do you guys get Ur labels also?i
I make my own labels.
Your market may determine your bottles... for example, folks at Farmer's Markets seem to prefer pint and quart jars. High Brow shoppers want other type jars, and some folks prefer the regular "honey" style jars.
"If all you have is a hammer, the whole world is a nail." - A.H. Maslow
I use Ball and Kerr Mason jars that I buy in bulk by the full pallet. The most popular jar size that I get requests for are the quart jars. The pint jar run a moderately distant second place. I use half pint jars for free samples.......at least last season I did.
It depends on the market and how much you will sell your honey for. I can sell by the quart or gallon all day long, but most people will expect a discount when they buy in quantity and you may be costing yourself money by offering in the larger sizes. Many beekeepers have no trouble selling their entire harvest, so plan to get the best return for all your hard work. I mainly sell in 2,9,13 oz sizes and will provide quarts and one and 5 gallon sizes to dedicated customers.
Jar type will also depend on market and how you choose to present your product. Do you want yours to stand out from others? Do you want people to remember your jar and not have it confused with someone else's.? I mainly use Hex and oval hex jars with labels I print myself with a nicely designed logo (Gotten cheap on EBAY). Do a hard cost analysis about how much it takes to produce that jar of honey.
I sold 45 gallons at work in 1 pound and 2 pound flip top plastic containers, and 5 pound plastic jugs. I got the 1 and 2 pounders from Sailor Plastics after sending for free samples and liking the quality. http://www.sailorplastics.com/reques...e38bb056a3e5b5 I got the 5 pounders from a local plastics plant. All my labels I got from Mann Lake. There seemed to be a machismo among the guys at work buying the honey "Give me the big one... I want the big one". I encouraged them to also buy a pounder and refill it as the flip top is easier to deal with.
Biggest seller was 16oz plastic fliptop.

Sir Lysacek? Did Johnny just knight Evan?
Oda runs out a clear curve on his quad landing edge before banging out the 3/3. Is it a fully credited 4/3/3 if he travels on the curve of his blade for a few feet before hitting the next two jumps? Is it more of a jump sequence than a 4/3/3?
Which is not to say I don't love him and would be happy if he won gold.
This is a clip of Yuna, for Yuna fans out there. So it's talking about changes made to her flip jump because it was shaky at the last competition.
Basically, she changed her setup for the flip so that it mirrors what she used to do previously for her 3F-3T combos.
The flip she does in the clip looks SOOO awesome. The best I've seen of her maybe.
My goodness, Oda is an incredible jumper! He's definitely the front runner and heavy favorite not only at GPF and Japanese Nationals but also in Vancouver. Plushenko should really watch out this little guy now. The only question is, can he hold up under pressure?
Yuna looks so fit and confident, the competition is hers to lose. Nobody can challege her, her only enemy is herself. I really hope Akiko to step it up on her home rink, it's her best chance to grab that final ticket going to Vancouver. (But I like Fumie and Yukari too, it's such a hard decision which one I should root for...)
Any report on the non-Japanese skaters? Good luck to all of them, this is gonna be a remarkable competition!
Practice videos including Miki, Akiko, Nobunari and Daisuke!
IIRC, as long as the skater doesn't put his/her free leg down the combination will count as a combination. I remember some skaters who did 3-turns after landing their 1st jump badly, then tacked on a 2T or 2L and it still counted as a combination (with -GoE).
For example, Miki's 3T-2L-2L in the 2nd half:
wow. Miki's 3Lutz/3loop combo looks solid , which always does in Practice, just hoping she doesn't leave it there.

Miki's 3lutz/3loop and 2axel/3toe!!!! Yes she always looks great in practices but here's hoping she'll nail them this time.
And Yu-na, Nobu and Takahashi all look so solid
Any info on Joannie?

I just wasn't certain about the ice coverage in between the 4 and the two 3's. Makes sense and glad to hear it. He's looking great, and an appealing personality as well.

This is unfortunate, as opportunities for energy conservation—and, ...
