New Law Requires Gay Achievements Taught In Schools
Original post made by Cindy Cross, Parkside, on Jul 28, 2011
By Cindy Cross
Starting on January 1st, 2012, California public schools will be required to teach students about the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Americans. Governor Jerry Brown signed into law SB48 which is the first of its kind in America.
"History should be honest," said Brown in a statement. "This bill revises existing laws that prohibit discrimination in education and ensures that the important contributions of Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life are included in our history books."
Many gay rights groups hail Brown a hero for making a law to point out significant accomplishments of LGBT's throughout history. They pointed out that teaching such curriculum will make LGBT students safer and perhaps cut down on bullying LGBT students.
Groups in opposition are mainly dismayed for religious reasons. Many religious groups see homosexuality or any 'deviant' sexual behavior against their religious mores.
I don't understand why such a private issue should be taught in public schools. I believe LGBT's should have every right that everyone else has, but what a person does in the bedroom is private.
Will this lead to making it mandatory to report what religious affiliation a historical figure belonged to? Should we begin to make it mandatory to include in curriculum what George Washington and Martha did in their bedroom? No. That is private. This is no one's business, and it takes away from the accomplishments themselves.
I think that law SB48 places people into more distinct categories that are unnecessary. We need to study and recognize people as human beings making human accomplishments. Knowing what a person does in their private time will not make their accomplishments any better—or worse.
What Harvey Milk did was a great thing, but that he was a homosexual makes no difference. It shouldn't anyway.

Nice analysis,Cindy. I read that an appeal was filed to overturn SB48 yesterday. Let's hope that sanity prevails over the narrow political interests being promoted by the likes of Gov. moonbeam.

I know, Cindy and Steve. Why on earth would gay kids want to know how gays, despite rampant homophobia and discrimination, contributed great things to this country? I just can't figure it. It's good you thought this matter through before siding with the bigots.

Why does someone's sexual prefference, or ethnicity, or social economic status matter? Why is the government now making it a law to teach about the accomplishments of homosexuals?
There are so many great people that make up America. I do not look at their color, or sex, or sexual preference in order to decide that they are great. I recognize them on what they acheive, or stand for. The same people that teach Tolerance, keep ramming crap like this down our throats instead of taking care of what really matters right now in our country. The fact that we spend more money than every person making more that $100,000.00 per year could pay for if they paid 100% in tax.
This is what we pay for, or should I say, This is what we get, when we burry our heads in the sand! Meaningless crap!
Special groups act like the majority of citizens hate gays and minorities, and foreigners. I'm sick of it! They keep the issue on front street and do not let it heal.
The NAACP pushes for equality. Something that they should do and have needed to, but at the same time support seperatist programs like, Miss Black America, or all black schools like Tuskegee University and Grambling State University, or Black Entertainment Television. They support these things, but say anything all White, is racist. Can you say Irony?
I do not want to get off track, but feel strongly that we should not be forced to teach about any one groups contribution to society. At the same time, we should not exclude them because of their religious beliefs.

I gotta tell ya, the comments on these PW sites are better than the funny pages. Pleasanton seems to be striving for recognition as Undisputed, Top-Ranked Hick Town in all of California. I love it!

Gil- ironic that you, living in Livermore, are accusing us of 'burrying our heds in the sand'. So, you use the label 'hick town' to describe those that aren't fooled into following your 'progressive' mantra of anything goes? Did you learn that in Livermore or are you another Berkeley transplant, escaping the second hand pot smoke?

I agree with Gil's "hick town" opinion. Just look at what "David" said:
"...all black schools like Tuskegee University and Grambling State University"
These are not "all black schools" and do admit students of different races. When these schools were created there was a strong need for them because of racism in both American culture and institutions. Most colleges in the US at the time excluded blacks.
David's ignorant and uninformed comments are examples of the "head in the sand", "hick town" attitude to which Gil refers.

Frank-it appears we've all been led way off the original topic. In any case, you and Gil painting the entire town as a hick town because of one poster's comments is like saying all inhabitants of the city of Oakland are criminals.

We cannot discuss the contributions of Americans in this diverse nation of ours without connecting their achievements to their identity. We have Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans...and now Gay-Americans as part of the official curriculum.
This is a good thing. We will increase tolerance and acceptance by teaching the truth. Pretending that people's homosexuality, their so-called "private lives", did not affect their "public lives" is just nonsense. Until very recently, consensual adult homosexual sex was illegal in many parts of the United States, and people could be, and were, ruined by a public disclosure of their homosexuality.
My favorite example was Bayard Rustin, the mastermind of the 1963 March on Washington (it was during this gathering that Dr. King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech). Other civil rights leaders wanted to exclude Rustin because they knew he was gay; Dr. King insisted that Rustin's talents could not be wasted, and King got his way--sort of. Rustin had to agree to work behind the scenes and could not speak publicly; that's why so few Americans today remember his work. Bayard Rustin, one of the key architects of the Civil Rights Movement that changed America for the better, cheated of his due public recognition just because of what Cindy calls his "private issue".
California is a melting pot of many different types of people. I'm proud to live in a state that officially embraces diversity and proud to have a Governor and a legislature who are willing to fight prejudice in our society.

Wow, I never learned about Bayard Rustin during my schooling years. Thank you, Yet Another Teacher, for enlightening us about how this gay American has contributed to our history. I wonder how many other gay Americans did great things to our society like Bayard Rustin, but their names and accomplishments are wiped away from our history books by those who love to censor.

Wow! Thank you for the link! I just learned that Tchaikovsky's struggle with homosexuality had large influence with his music! I wonder how many other people struggle with their sexuality because of society's suppression? It's amazing what we can learn from history!
Here's another snippet of gay history: The Nazis persecuted and killed countless number of homosexuals in addition to the Jews because they were not able to contribute to the "Master Race." Why does anyone want to hide this fact in our history books? These people died for who they were!

John: One of the issues history teachers will face now in California public schools is separating rumors from fact. There are many historically important individuals we suspect were gay, but we don't know that for a fact.
Speaking of heroes and villains, it's been speculated for many years that the longtime founder/director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, was a transvestite and homosexual who had a relationship with his aide, Clyde Tolson. Unfortunately for Hoover, organized crime learned of Hoover's "private issues" (as Cindy Cross calls them), and historians have speculated for years that Hoover's FBI failed to move against the East Coast Mafia because they were blackmailing Hoover. This would not be something we teachers would include in the curriculum, however, as these allegations have never been corroborated without a doubt.
Anyway, I'm still not sure whether America, circa 2011, is ready for a cross-dressing, gay FBI Director, but I'm very certain it wasn't circa 1951.

The State of CA Board of Education doesn't care whether or not Santa Claus exists because of all the money that's made during the holiday season. Everybody knows that President Washington did not chop down a cheery tree but the lies persist. not too many folks seem to care about the historical "truth" when there's bucks to be made!
I'm a history buff so I will occasionally attend history classes in Livermore and Pleasanton. Tons of distortions, fantasies get passed off as honest to god American history. sorry folks, some teachers are not doing their research...many good American students are being deliberately lied to because it's convenient.
fortunately, we have yet another teacher to guide us through these dark and smoky times...

I'm all for teaching the important accomplishments made throughout history, but I don't understand why the achiever's sexual orientation should have any part in the lesson. To me, it opens up teaching to include mediocre events that would not normally be considered history worthy, but because the people involved were LGBT, it's all of a sudden a huge victory. Let's keep history to those important events that warrant mention and leave religion and sexual orientation out of it.

Yes, I guess if you live in an enforced homogeneous community that is designed to exclude minorities and sexual deviants, if you haven't read much, and if you don't have a clue as to the kinds of obstacles other types of people experience on a day to day basis, it's pretty easy to deny the significance of sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, gender, or those other whiney things.

I disliked J. Edgar Hoover for multiple reasons, none of which had anything to do with "cross-dressing".

This article poses a question as to the merits of public schools teaching the student body the historical records of LGBT individuals, not whether or not Pleasanton is a hick town. Parents have the most influence on how a child views the world around them, but teachers as well can guide young minds seeking explanations for this complex social issue. It would be my hope that our public schools instruct our children to be aware that sexual orientation is private matter and that worldly accomplishment is not subject only to square jawed white males.

Right-O! I've long been opposed to historians focussing on the private lives of important historical figures. Who needs to know about Washington and the apple tree, or even his slaves for that matter; or Jefferson's impregnation of one of his slaves; or Lincoln's bisexuality which may have contributed to his wife's psychoses. Naw keep it simple. No need to mention race or gender or sexual orientation or anything else beyond the basics: Was this figure a fiscal conservative or wasn't he?

As anyone who lies about their real sexuality in a highly repressed society is likely to cause much mental anguish for the person they marry. Mary Todd was coo-coo and then some. Don't know whether Abe's bisexual relationships with men contributed. Sure didn't help. Would make me coo-coo. You know about coo-coo Cholo?

My concern is the curriculum that the state will put together for the teachers to teach. Should we, as parents have a look at it first? remember when we were kids our parents had the right to tell the school that they did not want their children viewing the material the school was teaching regarding sex ed. I believe that parents have the job of teaching their children on these subjects, and no, Im not burying my head in the sand. I just have a hard time with the school system telling our kids how we should feel about this subject. Start teaching more about Not Bulling in general.

What if the parents are a bunch of homophobic hicks like we have here in Ptown? Would you also prefer parents telling teachers to teach the creationist myth as opposed to, or alongside of, a scientific view of evolution? You see, I think there are good reasons why schools shouldn't be dictated to by parents. If parents want their kids to grow up homophobic, they can teach them at home how to hate gays (which happens a lot as comments here clearly attest). In our schools, we expect a bit more from our teachers.

I am a transsexual woman. I believe that the accomplishments of GLBT folk should be taught right along with the accomplishments of everyone else without special emphasis given to the fact that they are/were GLBT. If the fact that someone is GLBT enhances the accomplishment (e.g. overcoming prejudice, etc.) then mention it in a special way. Otherwise, what is wrong to say, Gayle, a transsexual woman, was the first TS to.....My objection in education is the exclusion of the accomplishments or learning about people of certain groups based on some value(s)espoused by a select few or majority. If your objection is on religious grounds, your religious views are yours, they are not mine and your religious views should NOT be the determiner of what is or isn't taught in school. The world would be a much better place if people knew and understood the varying viewpoints of all people - hey maybe there would be more tolerance and less violence. Isn't that what the right wing Jesus folk should believe and teach, love and tolerance ?

Men who drink just two cups of coffee a day may be at risk of developing incontinence problems, a new study suggests.
The findings indicate that a clear link exists between caffeine consumption and incontinence, Medical Daily reported.
It took just 234mg, or less that two cups of coffee, for problems to surface. Men who did so were 72 per cent more likely to suffer moderate or severe incontinence.
Men who drank more than 392mg of caffeine a day were more than twice as likely to be incontinent.
The study, which was carried out by researchers at Atlanta's Emory University and published in the Journal of Urology, examined the responses of 4000 men.
The researchers built on the findings of previous studies of women, which have consistently found a link between incontinence and caffeine intake. However, this is the first men-only study to find a link.
Researchers in past studies have indicated that certain properties in caffeine irritate the bladder, which can cause or exacerbate the condition.

Ward encouranges area students to apply for Minnesota House of Representatives Page Program
State Rep. John Ward, DFL-Baxter, announces the application process for the Minnesota House of Representatives High School Page Program is now under way.
The page program is open to high school juniors in public or private schools. Accepted applicants will spend a week at the State Capitol in St. Paul and participate in a variety of experiences designed to provide them with a deep understanding of state government.
Ward sent additional information to Brainerd and Pequot Lakes high schools.
"The Minnesota House Page Program is a fantastic opportunity for students interested in state government," said Ward. "Very few programs offer as meaningful an opportunity to see state government in action and gain important hands-on experience. I strongly encourage students in our area to apply."

If Clowney is on the board I'm taking him. If he's not I'll trade back and look for a top OT. Beatty isn't the answer at LT, we can move him over to the right side and move short arms Pugh to guard if we were to draft one of the better tackles in this draft. Other than that I'd be looking at cornerback and defensive tackle (Linval Joseph's contract depending) in the top fifteen where we'll likely pick.
My top 3 will be CLowney, Mariota, and then Barr. If we can get one of them, i'll be estatic! If we pick top 5, i'd add Jake Mathews and Sammy Watkins to fill it out..
My big board for us
1). Javadeon Clowney DE S.Carolina
2). Marcus Mariota QB Oregon
3). Anthony Barr OLB Ucla
4). Jake Mathews OT Texas A&M
5). Sammy Watkins WR Clemson
He also catches the ball very cleanly. You rarely see him juggle it, or 2nd catch it.
Assuming we aren't in position to get Clowney
1) Trade down and pick up the best available LB
2) 2nd round, best available Guard
3) 2nd round (should we get an extra pick from trading down, best available pass rusher)
I like Jake Matthews, but I don't think Justin Pugh is big enough for Guard. Unless he can put on some mass?

I have to admit. Several years ago, my kids and I used to go to any site that had up-to-date translated Bleach manga. Tito Kube did not get a dime; I am a horrible person. Ok. I feel better now with that confession. I'm also feeling great that there's no reason to look at random internet manga anymore.
Weekly Shonen Jump is digital and released the same day as Japan. Legally getting your manga fix could never be easier.
To be even more honest, I stopped reading internet manga, less because of my conscience, and more because I hate reading on my computer. It was awkward. My kids and I would wait for the bound, book versions to buy or check out from our library instead. That's why I wasn't sure I would enjoy reading the digital version of Shonen Jump, but I shouldn't have been worried. The site is easy to navigate, the art is clear, and you can choose which layout suits you best to view the pages. If you have a tablet, I'm sure it's even more convenient.
I was given promotional issues by VizMedia, and my son and I checked it out. Here are the ones I liked best:
Right away, Toriko made me laugh. It's about cooking battles, but these battles are more on the actual battlefield with weapons than the kitchen. Ridiculously amusing. Nisekoi is about two teens of gang bosses who are fake dating, but obviously like each other.
One-Punch Man has monsters, battles, drawn well, and very, very silly. A monster is about to fight a boy with a ludicrous chin. The main character isn't sure he wants to get involved, but then: "Wait. With the birth rate so low, I can't let you kill that kid." Why I find the reference to Japan's demographic issues as the only reason to save a child so amusing…don't know, but I giggled.
And then got reacquainted with Bleach. Legally.
Andy Nakatani is the Editor in Chief of Weekly Shonen Jump. He took time to answer some questions I had about manga in general for North American audiences. Continue Reading "Digital Manga: An Interview with the Editor of Weekly Shonen Jump" »

"I don't need the credit," he told the newspaper. "But I can tell you one thing: When it's said and done, they'll look back and say, 'Oh, man, this dude can coach his butt off.' And you know what? It's true. And I'll let the people that know best talk on my behalf about the kind of coach I am. I don't have to brag, even though statistically, I can brag about anything I've ever done defensively."

But Natsheh, the Waqf's chief archaeologist, dismisses Barkay's finds because they were not found in situ in their original archaeological layers in the ground. "It is worth nothing," he says of the sifting project, adding that Barkay has leapt to unwarranted conclusions in order to strengthen the Israeli argument that Jewish ties to the Temple Mount are older and stronger than those of the Palestinians. "This is all to serve his politics and his agenda," Natsheh says.
To be sure, the Mount is a flash point in the Middle East conflict. Israel seized East Jerusalem and the Old City from Jordan in 1967. While Israelis saw this as the reunification of their ancient capital, Palestinians still deem East Jerusalem to be occupied Arab land (a position also held by the United Nations).The Temple Mount is precariously balanced between these opposing views. Although Israel claims political sovereignty over the compound, custodianship remains with the Waqf. As such, Israelis and Palestinians cautiously eye each other for any tilt in the status quo. A September 2000 visit to the Temple Mount by the Israeli politician Ariel Sharon was interpreted by Palestinians as a provocative assertion of Israel's sovereignty, and helped spark the second intifada uprising, which, by some estimates, claimed as many as 6,600 lives, as rioting, armed clashes and terrorist bombings erupted throughout the Palestinian territories and Israel. At its core, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict represents rival claims to the same territory—and both sides rely on history to make the case for whose roots in the land run deepest.
For the Israelis, that history begins 3,000 years ago, when the Temple Mount—believed by many biblical scholars to be the mountain in the region of Moriah mentioned in the Book of Genesis—was an irregularly shaped mound rising some 2,440 feet among the stark Judean Hills. The summit loomed above a small settlement called Jebus, which clung to a ridge surrounded by ravines. The Old Testament describes how an army led by David, the second king of ancient Israel, breached the walls of Jebus around 1000 B.C. David then built a palace nearby and created his capital, Jerusalem. At the site of a threshing floor atop the mountain, where farmers had separated grains from chaff, David constructed a sacrificial altar. According to the Second Book of Kings and the First Book of Chronicles, David's son, Solomon, built the First Temple (later known as the Beit Hamikdash) on that site.
"The Temple Mount was the Parthenon of the Jews," says Barkay, describing how worshipers would have climbed a steep set of stairs to get to it. "You would feel every step of the climb in your limbs and your lungs."
Still, "we know nothing about the First Temple, because there are no traces of its physical remains," says Benjamin Kedar, a history professor at Hebrew University and chairman of the board of directors at the IAA. Scholars, however, have pieced together a tentative portrait of the Beit Hamikdash from descriptions in the Bible and architectural remains of sanctuaries elsewhere in the region built during the same era. It is envisioned as a complex of richly painted and gilded courts, constructed with cedar, fir and sandalwood. The rooms would have been built around an inner sanctum—the Holy of Holies—where the ark of the covenant, an acacia-wood chest covered with gold and containing the original Ten Commandments, was said to have been stored.
Until recently, Palestinians generally acknowledged that the Beit Hamikdash existed. A 1929 publication, A Brief Guide to the Haram al-Sharif, written by Waqf historian Aref al Aref, declares that the Mount's "identity with the site of Solomon's temple is beyond dispute. This too is the spot, according to universal belief, on which David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt and peace offerings." But in recent decades, amid the intensifying quarrel over the sovereignty of East Jerusalem, a growing number of Palestinian officials and academics have voiced doubts. "I will not allow it to be written of me that I have...confirmed the existence of the so-called Temple beneath the Mount," Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat told President Bill Clinton at the Camp David peace talks in 2000. Arafat suggested the site of the Temple Mount might have been in the West Bank town of Nablus, known as Shechem in ancient times.
Five years after the Camp David talks, Barkay's sifting project turned up a lump of black clay with a seal impression inscribed with the name, in ancient Hebrew, "[Gea]lyahu [son of] Immer." In the Book of Jeremiah, a son of Immer—Pashur—is identified as chief administrator of the First Temple. Barkay suggests that the seal's owner could have been Pashur's brother. If so, it's a "significant find," he says—the first Hebrew inscription from the First Temple period to be found on the Mount itself.
But Natsheh—sipping Arabic coffee in his office at Waqf headquarters, a 700-year-old former Sufi monastery in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City—is dubious. He says he's also frustrated by Israeli dismissal of Palestinian claims to the sacred compound where, he says, the Muslim presence—excepting the Crusader period (A.D. 1099-1187)—"extends for 1,400 years." Natsheh won't say if he believes in the existence of the First Temple, given the current political climate. "Whether I say 'yes' or 'no,' it would be misused," he tells me, fidgeting. "I would not like to answer."

Hairston To Begin Practicing On Friday
CHAPEL HILL - University of North Carolina men's basketball coach Roy Williams says junior guard P.J. Hairston has earned the opportunity to practice with the team when the Tar Heels officially begin preparations for the 2013-14 season on Friday. Hairston was suspended from the team on July 28th.
"In 26 years as a head coach, I've never made the demands on a young man that I have made of P.J.," says Williams. "To his credit, he accepted them without question. This is just the first step towards permanently earning his place back on the roster. He will have to sit out some games, but we haven't yet determined how many that will be.
"PJ has done, to this point, everything he's been asked to do, and done it with an outstanding attitude and a sense of remorse for his actions which put him in this position," says Williams. "He knows he made a series of mistakes and understands very clearly that he embarrassed his family, our program and the University. But he's worked hard to get to where he could once again practice with the team."
"I am so sorry for the mistakes I made that brought such negative attention to the team, the University of North Carolina and my family," says Hairston. "That's not how I was brought up and it's certainly not how Coach Williams expects us to represent this program. I know I let a lot of people down, including our fans and all the people who love not just the basketball team but UNC. I will do whatever I can to regain your faith in me and make sure that I represent the school and the Tar Heels with respect in the future.
"I appreciate Coach Williams giving me another chance to show that I can and will make better choices and decisions. I owe it to my mom, my dad, my coaches and teammates and every Tar Heel out there to make you proud to have me play basketball for Carolina. It was my dream as a kid and I would love more than anything to have that chance once again."
Teams are allowed to begin practice this year 42 days prior to the first allowable regular season date, which for UNC is November 8th against Oakland University.

Original post made by Dave, Birdland, on Jan 30, 2012
Here's my take on some of the things wrong with the younger generation. Absolutely no pride in maintaining our surroundings, however willing to complain with the catch phrase "Not my responsibility".
Traveling on 580 West bound on Saturday (9/28/12), heading up the Dublin grade, observed a young lady in a Silver Nissan Altima, license plate 6ABS447, causally throw out a banana peeling from her car onto the highway. Absolutely no concept of responsibility on being part of the world and respecting our environment. Height of laziness in that she couldn't somehow retain that banana peeling until it could be properly disposed of.
Hope she sees this or somebody that knows her sees this and somehow gets through to her that littering is not just against the law, but perhaps more importantly, is a crime against our environment.

I suspect the banana is biodegradable. I wonder about the pollutants emitted from Dave's car as he casually sped along the westbound 580 in his gas guzzler killing machine? Absolutely no concept of responsibility on being part of the world and respecting our environment. Height of laziness in that he couldn't take public transportation or ride a bike instead.
Hope he sees this or somebody that knows him sees this and somehow gets through to him that polluting is a crime against our environment.

bike rider, I wonder if you realize how much petroleum is used to create that horrid spandex outfit you fruity bike fanatics wear? It's oh so stylish and tells everyone whizzing by that you're a militant biker, looking like a 2 wheeled billboard. It's pollution of another sort.
You should attempt to make a citizens arrest of Dave, if you think he's committing a crime, if you can catch him on your 2 wheeler.
By the way, so adult of you to condone littering. Time to grow up and get a big boy 4 wheeler.

I think that there should be some consistency in making a decision about what is right and what is wrong to do in our society these days.
If sleeping, littering and pooping in public parks is not a crime, but "peaceful demonstration", than throwing banana peels is also not necessary not legal: maybe the young lady demonstrated her protest against bad job conditions of workers in banana industry.
If we agree that throwing banana peels as well as other littering is not legal, than we need to agree that littering and property vandalizing of Occupiers is not a "peaceful demonstration" but a crime.

The lady should not have littered. But I have to say I was a bit taken aback that the lady's license plate was posted when I first saw this post. I don't see either how this really applies to "the younger generation". Don't you think that the same negative stereotypes were said of your generation when you were younger? It someone denigrates those of "the younger generation" who do not litter and even participate in events like the annual arroyo clean-ups.

Kim, thanks for your vacant contribution. As though your taking up space with your post added any value.
It's all good.....please, help me understand why bike militant bike riders must dress like they are going to entertain people at a carnival? Is it so they can be seen as they try to ride in the traffic lanes in front of the large 4 wheel vehicles that can easily flatten them?
Do you spend a lot of time in traffic stalking anorexic looking carnival clowns?

My only reason for posting her license number was to point out the specifics. And it was a younger lady. I am aware that a banana peel is biodegradable; however this does seem to be a common occurrence with all types of trash. Just look at our roadsides. The point is as "Mike" pointed out, "don't be throwing stiff out your car window"

Perhaps I should proof read my "stuff" before I respond! I meant to say "stuff", not stiff!!!!

@ Steve- why all the hate for people who ride bikes? Are you not capable of maneuvering your 4-wheel vehicle safely down the road without endangering cyclists and others sharing the road? Cyclists pay their share of taxes, so are entitled to use the roads for whatever purpose them deem necessary.
Cyclists wear brightly colored clothing for a variety of reasons including visibility, to promote their sponsors if they are part of a team, and to feel a kinship with pro teams in the same manner as you wear your Raiders jersey and John Deer hat, have a Harley Sticker on your truck, and fly a Confederate flag from your antennae.

Yeah, guys like Dave and especially Steve get 'stuff' and 'stiff' mixed up all the time, especially when discussing those fruity spandex outfits. I don't wear one myself, but I understand they are comfortable, aerodynamic, and ensure against a pant cuff or some such getting caught in one's spokes. It's impressive that Dave was so quick to point out that the road is full of litter, bio and nonbiodegradable. He might also have noted how polluted the sky is from the likes of his gas guzzling killing machine. No hypocrisy there!

I have no problem with what a cyclist wears..........never said nor implied an issue with that. As a matter of fact, great suggestion on riding a bike or taking mass transit. One question to Bike Rider, why the assumption that I'm operating a "gas guzzling killing machine"? Somehow a concern on common courtesy toward "our" planet gets turned to personal attacks. By the way, "Bike Rider", do you own any type of gas using appliances? Just asking!

Roads and highways were not build cyclists! They endanger the community by riding on roads and highways, and for some reason feel motorist should should share the road with them....as if there is enough room. I hate when you have to cross a double-yellow line into oncoming traffic to avoid a cyclist! Cyclist should pay a road tax!

Re: Black Garlic
I have found this , you might have seen it already.
I have never tried black garlic and am interested to know what you think of it.
For those that dont know , black garlic from what I have read abou it is not a variety of garlic, but a bulb of carlic that has been very carefully aged .

Re: Black Garlic
Hello to you too bella
Mummz is right in saying that its from the same family 'type' but not exactly garlic.
Black garlic is just a family bulb that has been allowed to ferment, its sugars and acids after fermentation produce melanoidin, a dark-colored substance that is responsible for its colour.
All garlic is excellent health wise, fluids the blood. Black garlic doubles its white cousin though: 'In Taoism mythology, black garlic was rumored to grant immortality. We can�t promise you that, but there�s no doubt that black garlic is great for your health�it�s loaded with nearly twice as many antioxidants as raw garlic. It also contains S-Allycysteine, which is fancy talk for a natural compound that has been proven to be a factor in cancer prevention'.
Black garlic is very sweet and will give a syrupy taste to other aliments.

Ooo I would like to try it! Someone come along and tell us what dishes to use it in!

Thanks Kye, I had already had a quick look (but no recipes!) However the Australian places they mention selling it : 2 are in Melbourne. I will try my Asian grocery first, just in case.
I need something that 'fluids the blood' as part of my illness is thought to be low blood volume and difficulty of blood being able to get around the body. So black garlic might be useful! And delicious!

[Verse 1]
As a young'un, dumb and gun in the waist
Sold crack to those who couldn't take the pain
And had to numb it with base
Couldn't drink the Henny straight, I needed somethin to chase
Nowadays I throw shots back, leavin' nothin' to waste
Life's like a treadmill, niggas runnin' in place
Gettin nowhere fast, a whole year done past
I vowed to never stop winnin', 'til the earth stop spinnin'
Rock hot linen, cop hot cars and hot women
If it's not him then you got it confused, y'all not rememberin'
My motto is simply "I will not lose!"
Abide by the block rules, I buy my Glocks used
Wit bodies on it, let me know anybody want it?
I'm raised, illrational, way misunderstood
If you ain't live like I live, been one with the hood
I done what I could, to come up with this paper 'til this day still
Run with the hood, guess it's part of my nature
If hell awaits a, nigga I'm comin' with the razors
Still flashin' ya shit, try to pass me in a Six
Type classy on the wrists, every bit of 30 karats
This is, not a game this is not why I came
May these words find a spot on your brain and burn
Then I recycle my life I shall return

[Verse 2]
I'm a hop skip and a jump from grippin' the pump
Spittin' a couple of curse words, and hittin' you chump
Shit, I get digits in lumps
I'm a motherfuckin' problem, is this what you want?
Overachiever, I love chicks that puff cheeba in reefer paper
I hate the ones that blow up ya beeper
Cause I, go in deeper, I only bone divas
Impregnate the world when I come through your speakers (ha ha!)
Fuck hot, my records got the fever
Niggas kick dirt, get ya whole block sweeped up
I creep up when the beef heats up
Caught him with his feet up and shoes off, bout to snooze off
Hatin', cause you can't turn the booze off
You dudes is too soft, why I don't fuck with you all
I might bark with X, or spit at The Lox
But, other than that, I don't be fuckin' with cats
Just me, Ty and B-High, thug it like that
E, Dame and Biggs, what's fuckin' with that?
Y'all can never diss Jigga, get nothin' for that
Other than a couple of slugs in ya back (huh huh)
Rappers y'all, runnin' around like I won't gun ya down

Does anyone know of something i can put in a sprayer to spray my veges with out killing my bees
Every poison has risk but generally if the plants are not blooming your bees are not there so you are safe.
The plants that are blooming I spray liquid seven on them at dusk after the bees go home and its dried by morning so its somewhat safer than during the day.
Have t had a major kill yet.
Good Luck, Mike

Round up, wait, that might hurt your bees....
How about telling us what pests you have to kill? I can't think of a single substance from the most benign organic to the most toxic poison, that will kill every and any "garden pest" and leave your bees alone.
some kind of cut worm eating my beans and collards and lettice
Will BT work?
Please visit my page, Thanks
A half cup of dish soap in a gallon of water kills most insects that you get the soapy water on, and does very little once dry.
If you want to use an insecticide, just spray it on at sunset. And avoid powers like seven dust if there are flowers that bees might visit present.
thank you
You can not kill pests that require stronger chemicals to kill if you have bees near by and the plants you want to protect from pests have flowers. The only thing you can do is time that the plants are not blooming and when bees went home before night.
[QOTE=TRIMMAN;855747]some kind of cut worm eating my beans and collards and lettice[/QUOTE]
Honey bees don't work green beans or lettuce don't know about collards.
Dish soap and water method has done wonders for me.
Incests don't have an impermeable skin like us mammals do, so when they come in contact with the soupy water it absorbs into their skin, killing them. It then dries and becomes ineffective, for this reason you have to apply often to get it ONTO the bugs. I keep some in a garden sprayer and will spray twice a day if there is a problem.
I saved my entire garden with this method and even a very large cherry tree who had a horrible infection of worms last year, eating leaves and everything. Last year I sprayed it twice a day for a week and this year it was stronger than it had been in years!
I use water / ammonia 50:50 and a pinch of dish soap on the veg. I hit them in the evening and mostly target slugs. Ammonia is a fertilizer but do not overdo it on the tomato's or it will give them end rot. I need something to kill out the root grubs in my raspberries, I have always used seven before but the odd weather seems my berries have been blooming odd times this year.
Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up Alfred Pennyworth Batman Begins (2005)
Cut worms and cabbage butterfly catipillars are well controlled with BT and if the bees happen to bring some back to the hive it will help with wax moth larvae.

I'm approaching my 5th winter with bees. The first two autumns ('08 & '09) I fed thymolated syrup to the few hives that I had and I did a few sugar dustings.
No thymol was used after October '09
I may have done some sugar dusting in 2010 but I'm not certain. I believe I would have, but I overlooked doing them. Comb suspected to contain thymol syrup have been culled out.
2011: No treatments... went into winter with eight colonies and seven made it to spring.
I don't practice any drone management for mites.
Would my colonies be considered treatment free at this point?

Passport to Paris presents a survey of French printmaking across a century of artistic evolution and revolution. While it is common to view the nineteenth century as the golden era of French painting, the variety and quality of contemporary prints often rivaled the paintings of that period. Many of these artists are renowned for their accomplishments in sculpture and painting. Others have been rediscovered – gaining a level of recognition and respect that their work deserves.
Traditionally, printmaking was most often relegated to a supporting role as a method for the reproduction and inexpensive dissemination of artists' painted imagery. In the nineteenth century, however, it experienced a renaissance as a bona fide and widely employed artistic medium. Indeed, the Industrial Revolution and the dramatically changing French political landscape initiated an artistic reaction that manifested itself in poignant ways. In printmaking this meant experimentation and the refinement of earlier techniques such as lithography, etching, and woodcut.
The evolution of modern life also cultivated widely divergent subject matter. Artists found inspiration in the countryside, the peasantry, and the urban landscape. For example, in the gifted hands of the Barbizon artists, romanticized images of rural life experienced a rebirth. Indeed, the graphic qualities of printmaking allowed a unique articulation of their focus on light and detail. At the same time, images of urban life and architecture also emerged as compelling themes. Artists embraced the plight of the urban poor and disaffected by highlighting their life experiences within picturesque Gothic cityscapes or by focusing on their daily toils.
Passport to Paris highlights the technical, stylistic, and thematic evolutions that redefined artistic sentiment and intent during one of the most productive artistic periods in the history of western art.

A Rotorua man accused of wounding a 9-month-old baby can now be named.
Piripi Te Rame Sisley, 21, appeared in the Rotorua District Court today on a charge of recklessly wounding a child.
Judge James Weir lifted the man's interim name suppression, which had been in place since Sisley's first court appearance on January 14, saying there was no reason why he shouldn't now be named.
The baby was airlifted to Auckland's Starship Children's Hospital in a serious but stable condition after an ambulance was called to a Korimako St house in Selwyn Heights on December 27.
The baby was discharged from hospital last month and is now in the care of Child, Youth and Family.
Sisley was remanded on bail without plea until his next appearance on April 5.
His bail conditions include non-association with two people, and not to be around children under 16 without being supervised by an informed adult over the age of 20.

When I have time I enjoy just watching the goings-on at the hive and I've noticed that a good number of the workers are quite pale in color. They stand out in flight and even more so on the landing board, and it finally dawned on me that this color was quite out of the norm, in my limited experience.
So, I got in close for a better look, and these particular bees are 'missing' their dark stripes on the body. On some, the black bands are simply not there or are so pale as to be virtually invisible. Then, on others, these bands appear on one side but fade away, or are barely visible at the tail end of the bee but fade away within two or three 'spacings' of the stripes. Some appear almost 'white', or the lightest of pale gold color. No stripes at all.
The hive seems strong, doing the usual spring thing and these pale bees act completely normal. In my most recent inspection (the first of the season for me) I even noticed one of them dancing, and getting plenty of attention while she did so.
It's an odd situation, something I've never noticed before. A mutation? Younger bees, just becoming field bees? Mostly I'm curious, as the hive does seem otherwise very normal and healthy.
Any ideas?
