At age seven, while visiting her mother in Chicago, she was sexually molested by her mother's boyfriend. Too ashamed to tell any of the adults in her life, she confided in her brother. When she later heard the news that an uncle had killed her attacker, she felt that her words had killed the man. She fell silent and did not speak for five years.
Maya began to speak again at 13, when she and her brother rejoined their mother in San Francisco. Maya attended Mission High School and won a scholarship to study dance and drama at San Francisco's Labor School, where she was exposed to the progressive ideals that animated her later political activism. She dropped out of school in her teens to become San Francisco's first African American female cable car conductor. She later returned to high school, but became pregnant in her senior year and graduated a few weeks before giving birth to her son, Guy. She left home at 16 and took on the difficult life of a single mother, supporting herself and her son by working as a waitress and cook, but she had not given up on her talents for music, dance, performance and poetry.
She had composed song lyrics and poems for many years, and by the end of the 1950s was increasingly interested in developing her skills as a writer. She moved to New York, where she joined the Harlem Writers Guild and took her place among the growing number of young black writers and artists associated with the Civil Rights Movement. She acted in the historic Off-Broadway production of Jean Genet's The Blacks and wrote and performed a Cabaret for Freedom with the actor and comedian Godfrey Cambridge.
In New York, she fell in love with the South African civil rights activist Vusumzi Make and in 1960, the couple moved, with Angelou's son, to Cairo, Egypt. In Cairo, Angelou served as editor of the English language weekly The Arab Observer. Angelou and Guy later moved to Ghana, where she joined a thriving group of African American expatriates. She served as an instructor and assistant administrator at the University of Ghana's School of Music and Drama, worked as feature editor for The African Review and wrote for The Ghanaian Times and the Ghanaian Broadcasting Company.
Maya Angelou returned to America in 1964, with the intention of helping Malcolm X build his new Organization of African American Unity. Shortly after her arrival in the United States, Malcolm X was assassinated, and his plans for a new organization died with him. Angelou involved herself in television production and remained active in the Civil Rights Movement, working more closely with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who requested that Angelou serve as Northern Coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. His assassination, falling on her birthday in 1968, left her devastated. With the guidance of her friend, the novelist James Baldwin, she found solace in writing, and began work on the book that would become I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The book tells the story of her life from her childhood in Arkansas to the birth of her child. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings was published in 1970 to widespread critical acclaim and enormous popular success.
Angelou was invited by successive Presidents of the United States to serve in various capacities. President Ford appointed her to the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and President Carter invited her to serve on the Presidential Commission for the International Year of the Woman. President Clinton requested that she compose a poem to read at his inauguration in 1993. Angelou's reading of her poem "On the Pulse of the Morning" was broadcast live around the world.
Since 1981, Angelou has served as Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She has continued to appear on television and in films including Poetic Justice (1993) and the landmark television adaptation of Roots (1977). She directed numerous dramatic and documentary programs on television and directed a feature film, Down in the Delta, in 1996.
In 2000, Dr. Angelou was honored with the Presidential Medal of the Arts; she received the Ford's Theatre Lincoln Medal in 2008. The same year, she narrated the award-winning documentary film The Black Candle and published a book of guidance for young women, Letter to My Daughter. In 2011, President Barack Obama awarded her the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Maya Angelou participated in a series of live broadcasts for Achievement Television in 1991, 1994 and 1997, taking questions submitted by students from across the United States. The interview with Maya Angelou on this web site has been condensed from these broadcasts.

My DD is gluten-free for medical reasons and she leans to recipes from the Gluten-Free Goddess on the internet.
I have tried 'Cup-4-Cup' which isn't too gritty but it is hideously expensive and the only place I can find it is at Williams Sonoma. The gluten-free Bisquick isn't bad and isn't pricey. Other than that I think you are tasting flour for grittiness and putting in all the Bob's Mill ingredients to come up with the cake mix or cookie mix. (we discovered that some flour - sorry don't remember which one - is an excellent exfolliant and after washing it off our hands we decided it might make a good substitute for oatmeal body scrub. Unless it clogs the drain. We also tried a brownie mix from the health food store and one batch seemed soggy, the other just an unappealing tough texture.
I know it can be done because we have bought scrumptious gluten free pastries from a specialty bakery ... unfortunately an hour away.
Good luck and let us know what you come up with that works!

Urban Adventure at the Port of Barcelona2012-08-14 4 Share Tweet
Discovering unknown corners of Barcelona. Doing the tourist thing in my own city is one of my favorite pastimes, although there are not enough places to discover and explore.
If you walk through the streets of Barcelona, it is very easy to get close to the sea down the Ramblas or drop by the Barceloneta area, which is relatively close to downtown. But going to the port is a possibility that few have in mind, and that access, if you look from afar, seems complicated but it is only a common misconception.
Once you come to the Swallows your course must be this.
Your eyes begin to see boats, bridges, sailboats, and the sea. It will be your opportunity to see the city from another point of view, different from what you are accustomed to.
The surprise is assured! And it only shows that you can be a tourist without leaving your city.

Dear All,
I'm quite new to stata so I don't know If I have a command or database
issue. So here I go:
I'm trying to solve a model for my thesis dissertation on the
probability for a pharmacy to enter and then locate in a Chilean
district. My ideal tree should be:
/ \
/ \
/ \
Enter Not Enter
| / | \
| / | \
| / | \
0 Location=1 … N
I generated the nlgoit tree with the district=0 for the decision not
to enter the industry, and all the observed districts for the decision
to enter (nlogitgen type=district (No: 0, Yes: 1|…|N). Then I
generated the "chosen" variable based on whether there's a pharmacy on
the district or not.
Then I tried to run the regression (nlogit chosen
number_of_stores_pharmacy_chain1 number_of_stores_pharmacy_chain2
type_of_competitor_base_on_distance[inmediate; nearby; far away]
population_between_0_to_5_years_old population_more_than_65_years_old
median_rent district_area[sq miles] business_density||type:
income_per_capita urban_population rural_population||district:,
But I get:
note: 334 cases (1336 obs) dropped due to no positive outcome or
multiple positive outcomes per case
no cases remain after removing invalid observations
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me please?
Best Regards

The Rs 24.42-crore sewerage project in Nurmahal has become a headache for the residents of the town and its adjoining villages.
The project, the foundation stone of which was laid by chief minister Parkash Singh Badal in February 2011, was expected to complete in nine months as per the schedule.
The 6-km main sewerage line and 31-km branch line were to be laid across the town under the scheme.
The project, which was started by the Grater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA) and allotted to private agencies, is going at a snail's pace.
But only 80 percent of the lines have been laid so far. GLADA executive engineer Bhupinder Chawla said t he main reason behind the work lagging behind was due some councillors' opposition to the laying of sewerage lines.
He said they had demanded that the treatment plant should be constructed first.
Over one and half acre land had been acquired on Nurmahal Kot Badal Khan road for the sewerage treatment plant and land was registered in the department's name and the work would begin within 10 days, he added.
Chawla said that laying of main sewerage line would be completed in few days. The ongoing work has become a headache for the residents of Bhallowal and Dalla villages as they take detour while coming to Nurmahal town.
In Nurmahal town, trenches dug for laying sewerage lines have been filled but roads are still to be repaired.
Mandi road and Nakodar road are muddy and full of potholes. Residents have repeatedly demanded to get the roads paved but to no avail.
Hundreds of residents of adjoining Nakodar and Shahkot towns commute on these roads everyday, which have not been re-car peted despite re peated reminders to the authorities concerned.
Nurmahal executive officer Rajiv Oberoi said the stretches would be repaired by the public works department. He said the nagar council had repaired some of the roads even as the GLADA did not release any funds for repair.
Residents have been demanding that the laying of sewerage lines should be accelerated and the work should be completed at the earliest.

6 Best Kevin Smith Moments at Comic-Con
29k views 6 items tags
Kevin Smith, director of "Clerks" and "Clerks 2" is mad royalty at Comic Con. Probably because he is one of the few filmmakers that knows his place in the space. Unlike other comic geeks like Tarantino and Rodriguez, he embraces his crowd and attends nearly every year. It's the best panel but even if you are at Comic Con it's tough to get in the room. For all those who were too busy checking out the cosplay girls or who were just over standing in line and waiting for days here are the 6 best moments of Kevin Smith at Comic Con, all caught on tape.

Oh snap. Emotional hardship they endured?
Maybe WE should file a class action lawsuit against Jerry. :laugh2:
I was thinking the same thing. lol
You know your country has lost its marbles when things like this are even allowed.
I was going to make a joke about Katrina but il refrain...
No kidding.. this kind of crap is a joke. Leave the NFL alone and let it go back to the product it was 5-10 years ago.
So does this mean I can sue Jerry's doctor?
FEMA to the rescue!!! Football Emergency Management Agency!
Saints fans endured way more hardship during all the years the franchise sucked. Of course there weren't many Saints fans around at that time.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
COMPLETE and E-mail the "ADOPTION APPLICATION" to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Our organization believes that spaying and neutering is the most effective and humane way of controlling our pet overpopulation because there are not enough homes for all of the unwanted litters. We offer a low cost Spay/Neuter services to our residents to assist in controlling the animal population.
Our goal is to save the precious lives through Rescue, Adoption and Spay/Neuter.
Our Motto is to Lend a Helping Hand to Those Without a Voice.
Our Facebook page is: DECATUR COUNTY (TN) HUMANE ASSOCIATION
Adoption Fee: $350 (unless stated differently in the listing). (This includes the $150 transport fee and the extra vetting required for transport.)
COMPLETE and e-mail the ADOPTION APPLICATION to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Usually, within less than 48 hours of our having received your application, we will have reviewed it and notified you of our decision (unless it is a weekend and cannot check your vet reference). Assuming you have been approved, we will send additional information.
We transport via P.E.T.S. Animal Rescue Road Trips and they make SATURDAY stops in SEVERAL cities in the Northeast.
To see the locations, times and directions for the transport stops, please click on this link since you will need to list your preferred stop on our adoption application: P.E.T.S. Northeast Routes
To see some of the sweeties that we have adopted to the northeast, please click here: Northeast Adoption Happy Tails
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

June 2013
by Paul D. Kretkowski
The rise of smart phones and tablets is changing some key premises of team building as planners have known it for decades. These devices, especially iPhones and iPads with their camera, display, GPS and gaming capabilities, are laying the groundwork for team-building challenges that are not only more immersive and fun than their predecessors, but also able to harvest attendee data.
Best TeamBuilding spent three years developing and trademarking its SmartHunts app for iPads, which enables several types of team-building exercises across a resort, a city or even a continent. The Dunedin, Fla.-based company now offers 20 team-building games that add and blend Web searches, video filming and playback, live actors, and GPS with the quizzes, contests and physical challenges found in conventional team-building programs.
Teams on SmartHunts receive a flow of clues, maps, quizzes and other information; meanwhile, their data and any video they shoot are uploaded on the fly. By the time they return to the starting point, the company has produced standings and assembled a rough cut of teams' photos and video for all participants to see. (A professionally polished eight-minute version is sent out two days later.)
Mark Gilicinski, cofounder of Columbus, Ohio-based Mobile Xpeditions, which also creates high-tech team-building challenges, says the economic advantages of this approach over pen-and-paper versions are undeniable.
"Some of the best activities are highly creative and [team participants] interact with humans, whether it's with actors or facilitators," Gilicinski says. "But that's really expensive; if you have 500 people divided into some number of teams, there's a huge cost to facilitate that. The technology [helps] deliver that experience and customization in a more economical way."
If a team is scheduled to interact with an actor, the app knows its location and whether the actor is already occupied with a second team—so it can then divert the first team toward a new task. Similarly, struggling teams can be fed a helpful clue. But the biggest difference is literally a matter of scale. Because SmartHunts' iPads can be linked to Wi-Fi and high-bandwidth videoconferencing, team building can take place simultaneously across large geographic areas, Best TeamBuilding CEO Scott Flynn says.
"We just did a program for Exxon where half their group was in Calgary and the other half in New Orleans. They did a hunt together in two countries in two time zones!"
The app also simplifies the tracking of who has learned what, and where a group's skills are strong or weak.
"[One company] wanted to ascertain how up people were on the company's technology. So in the course of that trip, [attendees] had to answer 80 questions, then we compiled the statistics on that and gave it to the company," Flynn says. "So it's the serious side of play, presented in a manner where the participant doesn't recognize something serious is going on."
High-tech team building has started to change when organizers hold such a program, Flynn notes.
"Usually they [would] call us in for the third day of a three-day event; we've always thought this was crazy," he explains. "[Attendees] don't discover the hotel until the third day—'oh, there's a pool!'—and they don't meet anybody.
"So we invented the SmartHunt to open the meeting: Do a meet-and-greet, explain the program, break up the group, then tour the venue and the surrounding area," Flynn continues. "Within two hours [attendees] have met all these people, they know what's at the hotel and the surrounding area, and they can interact with all the people they met."
Let's Get Physical
High-tech applies to the physical world as well as the digital, says Ian Fraser, cofounder of San Francisco-based The Go Game.
"One of our games centers around an art heist," Fraser explains. "You're recruited into sort of an Ocean's Eleven gang that's going to steal art. One key feature is we've created a laser maze that's illuminated with a fog machine; it's portable and you can set it up in any hotel conference room."
Teams cycle through this maze throughout the game, Fraser says, and if they need an additional tool that helps navigate it, a nearby security guard may just happen to be eating "powdered" donuts, whose floury coating can also provide a fog-like medium that reveals the lasers' locations. High-tech team building also records teams' inventiveness as they solve challenges specifically designed to elicit creativity.
"And at the end of the game people get to try it over and over, and there's Sally from Accounting edging under the laser because she's the only one who can get under it," Fraser says.
The Go Game also arranges for actors throughout the city or venue to spring up in unlikely places and guises, leading teams to wonder who's an actor and who's just a bystander.
"Once people know actors are out there, everyone becomes a potential collaborator or saboteur," Fraser says. "After the game, they'll ask each other, 'How did you coordinate that with the woman with the baby carriage and the UPS driver?' And [the other team] didn't? But the lady at the bar with the tattoo was in on it and gave them a clue."
Wireless-enabled devices allow Go Games to also slip inter-team challenges into an exercise. When teams bump into each other on the street, they can challenge each other head to head—without knowing the challenge in advance, Fraser says.
"It could be silly, like a dance-off with no music, or who can type fastest on their phone, or who can compliment each other the most until someone stumbles," he remarks. "And this is great for when a goal is to foster networking."
Fraser says Go Games can engage anywhere from 500-10,000 people for one to three days. In these cases, you want to give away a modest prize but not an amazing one, Fraser says, because cutthroat competition means the whole game "turns into this horrible competitive thing."
Digital devices may also give clients a chance to harness attendees' combined creativity directly while their energy level and focus are high. In one recent case, The Go Game produced a two-and-a-half-day event for Hewlett-Packard where part of the challenge was to use smart devices to create a new commercial for the company.
"It was just hysterically funny stuff; a panel picked the top 10 and [attendees] judged them and it was just great," Fraser says. "The technology always goes hand in hand with the effort people put into it."
Paul D. Kretkowski's iPhone often sends him and his hand-picked team on secret missions.

1990 Daihatsu Rocky SE
Tough little truck, lots of guts, no pretense
Transmission failed in 1996. It was a spring that broke inside case.
Overhead Cam seized in 1998. Oil flow stopped because of stuck oil pressure regulator. My fault - I ignored the light because it was full of oil.
Alternator gave out in 2002.
Not a bad record for 8 years.
General Comments:
Love/hate the vehicle. It rides hard, gets great mileage, looks funny, turns very wide which is a good safety feature, but makes it hell to parallel park. The engine compartment is very well organized and a pleasure to work in compared to US cars of the same era. Beware of 4WD on icy streets. Over 30mph you WILL eventually go out of control and spin helplessly. In 8 years living in Maine, I've only seen 1 other Rocky.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 7th November, 2002

I live in Puerto Rico and parts are not easy to find. This is my second comment about the accident. I've seen at least 20 in the whole island. Any body knows about a place over the INTERNET to buy parts?

About the 4WD on icy streets: It's because it uses a part-time type 4WD which works well at lower speed and/or rugged terrain (bad roads, mud, sand). Because the nature of a part-time 4WD is having the same speed between the front axle and rear axle, you'll get trouble when driving it at high speed because naturally front axle runs faster than rear when turning/cornering where it's impossible to do with a part-time 4WD active.
1. Drive at lower speed and carefully when comes to icy streets.
2. If you have more money, try to install/modify the transfer case with a full-time 4WD which have a center differential so you can use 4WD mode at higher speed on icy roads. Make sure that it's lockable because an unlockable full-time 4WD will give much trouble on muddy, sandy, and rough road.

Whether you're hiking, paddling, cycling, or simply windshield touring in a national park, you're bound to get hungry and begin searching for a snack. To the ubiquitous trail mix, jerky, or piece of fruit, there's now another option. The EPIC bar.
Made here in the U.S.A. by an Austin, Texas, company, these pocket snacks come in three flavors: bison, beef, and turkey. But that's just the start.
Armed with a socially conscious mission when it comes to these trail snacks, the company works only with suppliers that can certify that their animals "receive the utmost humane treatment."
"We believe that EPIC animals should always live pasture-centered lives where turkeys forage, pigs wallow, and buffalo roam. This is the way nature intended animals to be and we see ourselves as leaders in recognizing the value of sustainable and responsible animal welfare practices," the company states on its website.
Quite a bit of science went into the company's decisions as to where to source its ingredients, and to rely strictly on animals that were grass-fed (except for turkeys, as the company hasn't yet found a supplier of "100 pecent pastured turkey") and never given antibiotics or hormones.
"...the most compelling argument for consuming grass-fed meats comes from the EPIC nutrition that is passed on from animal to human. The brilliance of this nutrient transfer is based on how the animals are raised. Grass-fed animals are loaded with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are better for both cardiovascular health and contain anti-inflammatory properties. They also have significantly higher values of vitamins A and E as well as antioxidants," the company says.
"For athletes, grass-fed meat is particularly favorable in that it contains up to twice the levels of conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, which promotes the development of lean muscle tissue and lowers the risk for a myriad of other health problems."
Science aside, EPIC bars have an interesting list of ingredients. Beyond the mainstays of beef, bison, or turkey, the bars might have dried cranberries, almonds or habanero peppers mixed in, along with various seasonings, such as sea salt, dehydrated garlic, paprika, celery powder, etc. They also are free of soy and gluten, as well as nitrites.
Calorie-wise, the bison bars pack 200 calories, the beef bars 190, and the turkey bars 150. Sodium levels range from 220mg in the bison bars to 240mg in both the turkey and beef. Protein ranges from 11 grams per bar for the bison to 14 grams for the turkey.
Taste-wise, they pack a lot of flavor and go down quickly, though some might think the salt comes through a little too much in the bison bar. But if you're working hard hiking, paddling, or backpacking, no doubt you could use the sodium.
If there are any downsides, one might be that the bars are a tad on the small size, at just 1.5 ounces. Definitely not as compressed or chewy as jerky -- the company describes them as "tender" -- EPIC bars are devoured quickly.
During a trip to Yellowstone National Park our group of four paddlers relied in part on EPIC bars to keep us going (and see how they tasted and kept us going!). When we got to the Old Faithful complex for our last night in the park, we were pleasantly surprised to see EPIC bars in the general store.
So keep an eye out for these bars on your next trip to a national park, or go to the company's website to order some: a box of 12 bars sells for $34, or you can buy a three-bar sampler for $8.50

OMG-that Pretty Face Palette totally has my name on it!!! Such pretty colors and a pretty case too! Love Bobbi Brown!ReplyDelete
I always feel hesitant about buying palettes. I feel like I always have items that are already close to at least half of what they include. Cute, though!ReplyDelete
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

Corneal topography with Scheimpflug imaging and videokeratography : comparative study of normal eyes
Read, Scott A., Collins, Michael J., Iskander, Robert , & Davis, Brett A. (2009) Corneal topography with Scheimpflug imaging and videokeratography : comparative study of normal eyes. Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 35(6), pp. 1072-1081.
|Accepted Version (PDF 130kB)
PURPOSE: To compare the repeatability within anterior corneal topography measurements and agreement between measurements with the Pentacam HR rotating Scheimpflug camera and with a previously validated Placido disk–based videokeratoscope (Medmont E300). ------ SETTING: Contact Lens and Visual Optics Laboratory, School of Optometry, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. ----- METHODS: Normal eyes in 101 young adult subjects had corneal topography measured using the Scheimpflug camera (6 repeated measurements) and videokeratoscope (4 repeated measurements). The best-fitting axial power corneal spherocylinder was calculated and converted into power vectors. Corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) (up to the 8th Zernike order) were calculated using the corneal elevation data from each instrument. ----- RESULTS: Both instruments showed excellent repeatability for axial power spherocylinder measurements (repeatability coefficients <0.25 diopter; intraclass correlation coefficients >0.9) and good agreement for all power vectors. Agreement between the 2 instruments was closest when the mean of multiple measurements was used in analysis. For corneal HOAs, both instruments showed reasonable repeatability for most aberration terms and good correlation and agreement for many aberrations (eg, spherical aberration, coma, higher-order root mean square). For other aberrations (eg, trefoil and tetrafoil), the 2 instruments showed relatively poor agreement. ----- CONCLUSIONS: For normal corneas, the Scheimpflug system showed excellent repeatability and reasonable agreement with a previously validated videokeratoscope for the anterior corneal axial curvature best-fitting spherocylinder and several corneal HOAs. However, for certain aberrations with higher azimuthal frequencies, the Scheimpflug system had poor agreement with the videokeratoscope; thus, caution should be used when interpreting these corneal aberrations with the Scheimpflug system.

Indio inching closer to expanding Goldenvoice music festivals
INDIO, Calif. - Goldenvoice, the producer of Coachella Fest and Stagecoach Country Music Festival, presented its Environmental Impact Report to the Indio Planning Commission at a special meeting on Thursday night. The Commission approved the EIR and voted 5-0 in support of the the group's request to host more festivals.
Awaiting final approval from the City Council, Goldenvoice hopes the city will grant it a long-term festival permit, allowing it to host up to five music festival events each year from 2014 to 2030.
"The real main issue for us is the noise," said Jim Turner, a six-year resident of Indio.
Many neighbors voiced support and concerns of Goldenvoice's EIR, which it called a "problem-solving tool." It's looking to address and ease some of the most significant festival complaints dealing with transportation, sound and air quality.
The EIR shows Goldenvoice plans to adjust concert bass levels, shuttle more festival-goers to and from the venue, and increase dust control measures.
Rebecca Shields lives directly across from Coachella's main stage. She says years of issues on her property were finally settled when her community opened communication and met with Goldenvoice Vice President Skip Paige personally.
"I think they care about the community and responded immediately. They listened and continue to do so," said Shields.
Another part of the music festival plan is to increase attendance from 95,000 to 99,000 at Coachella Fest. For Stagecoach, 65,000 to 75,000 attendees.
"I think it's great revenue," said Turner.
He says he supports the festivals and their economic boost to the Valley, he just hopes the city will better enforce regulations.
"If the cut off is 1:30, cut it off at 1:30. Have someone from the city pull the plug if they have to," said Turner.
The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council for a final decision next month.

While trying not to incarnate "behaviour that many see akin to racism," some Church of England bishops are meeting with gay clergy and encouraging them not to marry when marriage equality arrives in the UK but to remain in "quiet" civil unions.
The Vicar of St Mary with All Souls', Kilburn, and St James's, West Hampstead, the Revd Andrew Cain, said on Tuesday that speaking publicly about his plans to marry his partner of 14 years ( News, 21 February) had resulted in an "uncomfortable" meeting with his bishop, the Rt Revd Peter Wheatley, on Wednesday last week.
"It was very uncomfortable for both of us," he said. "He was with HR, and I was with a union rep. That would not be normal for a meeting between a bishop and a priest. I could not honestly say it was particularly pastoral. It was awkward."
During the meeting, Bishop Wheatley had "expressed discomfort that I was being so public in my opposition to the bishops, and I made it clear this is something I feel very strongly about. He suggested that perhaps I would consider having a civil partnership, and I said my partner and I had deliberately not done that because we believe in marriage, and now it is possible for us to marry, we will marry."
When asked about the consequences of the marriage, and the potential for disciplinary action to be taken, the Bishop had said that the Church was in "unchartered territory". It had been made "very clear" to Mr Cain "that they would prefer it if the marriage was as private as possible".

Thanks for bringing some darn nice weather home with you, that winter crap was getting old, and look forward to a great summer. If you can manage the trip, it would be good to get you to PA in late September to meet some of those young woodpeckers, and teach them a couple things about life; I know they would like it to happen, and I'm headed you way first, soooooooooooooo. Can you sleep OK yet or lots of things to deal with? Meds can screw up your sleep patterns? Nite, you Pileated Leader of the Woodpecker Society. Rest up for Memorial Day.....

New Synthetic Peptide Could Cure Your Cat Allergies
Cats are great pets to have in the house. Not only do they help discourage a large assortment of pesky rodents from moving into your home, but just having a cat in the house encourages emotional stability. Kids who are raised with cats and other household pets tend to be healthier adults and if they were tasked with caring for the cat, they're generally more responsible than their non-cat owning peers. Since cats are more affordable and don't require the constant care that dogs do, they're great for an active family that's frequently on the go.
The problem is that having a cat just isn't possible in many households because approximately 10% of the population is allergic to cat hair or dander. Up until now, the only way to cope with these allergies was to either avoid cats altogether or to get an allergy shot and hope it worked. If you love cats but can't be around them do to allergies, hope is on the horizon.
A researcher took current peptide information and what he knew about allergies and conducted an experiment to see if it was possible to use the peptides to help overcome the allergy. The first thing he did was take blood samples from participants who were allergic to cats. He studied the blood samples until he learned exactly what aspect of the proteins in cats caused the immune system in humans to be triggered than went to work creating synthetic peptides that would give the immune system the power to basically over power the allergy.
Once he was satisfied he'd created the perfect synthetic peptide, he gave it to individuals participating in the study. After a single injection of the peptide, participants could be around cats and experienced a 40% reduction of inflammation. To get those types of results from allergy shots would have required 12 separate treatments, and even then it might not have worked. The trial included 88 participants and not a single one of them experienced a serious side effect.
This breaking research could make it possible for people with allergies to still enjoy cats without all the sneezing and sniffling. It is welcome news to pet lovers all over the world. They'll no longer be forced to decide between their cat and loving someone with cat allergies. Individuals who suffer from cat allergies are glad a cure could be administered in as little as one shot.
As great as this peptide information is to cat lovers, it's equally important to 55% of the population who suffer from other types of allergies such as ragweed, pollen, and bee stings. If a synthetic peptide can be created to help a person with severe cat allergies, it stands to reason that a synthetic peptide can also be created to combat other types of allergies, allowing many people to breathe freely for the first time in years. Research is still underway to explore the full potential of peptides to help allergy sufferers.Read More

|"Frozen" Fever: The Internet is heating up with speculation about Disney's cool fall release.
The characters of "Frozen" expand upon the beloved Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Snow Queen." Disney had a huge hit with the reinterpretation of Andersen's "The Little Mermaid."
While the United States is baking and boiling and broiling, it's nice to take a voyage to cooler climes. I don't have the cold, hard cash to book passage to Alaska, but I am already in a wintry wonderland in my mind. I am gearing up for the avalanche of publicity and tie-in collectibles that are going to be heading our way around Thanksgiving 2013. In November—if the publicists are correct—Disney Animation Studio will be unveiling their next hopeful blockbuster. This time around, it's a film called "Frozen" and it is a musical/comedy/animated adventure flick inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen."
Slated to be the 53rd offering in the Animated Classics series, "Frozen" is going to be debuting with a lot of keen expectations and box-office watching. One way to see how successful a franchise is going to be is to clock the merchandise sales. For "Frozen," there will be dolls, costumes, cosmetics, home furnishings, office supplies, toys, backpacks and lunch totes, and everything else that can be packaged and shrink-wrapped. There will be a lot riding on this venture, and Disney expects the film to have more than just its film-release shelf life. Home video and downloadable streaming will also be part of the mix. "Frozen" is going to be a full-on experiment in how a family movie can navigate and triumph in the brand-new social-media world.
For this attempt at thawing cynical folks' cartoon aversions, there is a lineup of truly talented people in the mix. The voice talent for the flick features Kristen Bell (TV's Veronica Mars), Idina Menzel (the original star of Broadway's "Wicked" and a recurring guest star on "Glee"), Jonathan Groff ("Glee" and "Spring Awakening"), Josh Gad ("The Book of Mormon"), and Santino Fontana (Broadway's "Cinderella"). The composers of the songs are husband-and-wife team Robert and Kristen Lopez. Robert was one of the driving forces behind the stage hits "Avenue Q" and "The Book of Mormon."
Music is going to play a large part in the translation of the characters into tangible, collectible figures. Mattel has let it slip that they will be manufacturing fashion dolls of "Princess Anna" (the Kristen Bell character) and "Elsa" (the Idina Menzel portrayal). The dolls will be able to join hands; and when they do, they will duet together. It is similar to the ones that Mattel made for its own Barbie spectacle The Diamond Castle. There's also prerelease chat the dolls' bodies will light up, and their dresses will be able to change color when touched by a "magical" staff. That sounds very cool, indeed!
Additionally, the very successful line of classic heroines converted into toddler versions will be inviting "Anna" and "Elsa" into the vinyl fold. What's particularly interesting about this development is that "Elsa" will be the first "bad guy"/villain done as a toddler! Even though she has royal roots—which normally means a sweet, joyful, friendly disposition—in "Frozen," the character of "Elsa" leaves her home palace to create a cold, icy, evil world of her own. It's fascinating to imagine how the nemesis of the piece will look when she's given the big-eyed, heart-shaped toddler-doll face.
Pins, which are a staple now for the Disney collector, are being designed, molded, and made for release with the film. The Disney blogosphere is excited beyond belief for the arrival of all these accessories.
Photos have been floating around of what potential collectibles might look like. Folks have let slip what they think "Prince Hans" and mountainman "Kristoff" will be garbed as in their Disney Store packaging. These possible samples (shown in slideshow) are quite attractive and really capture the characters' personalities.
Brace for more scuttlebutt and rumors regarding the release of the Snow Queen's blue-frost necklace and ice scepter; pink tiara for "Anna," and playsets that include all the human characters along with "Olaf the Snowman" and "Sven," the reindeer with the heart of a Labrador!
In my home, we have a treasure-trove of Disney movies and paraphernalia. My kids are still young enough that they can request an evening of Disney films without apology or rationalization. They love everything—all incarnations from the 1937 classic "Snow White" to 2013's "Wreck-It Ralph." They really respond to the magic that Walt Disney knew how to inspire and produce.
"Frozen" is going to have its share of bumbling comedic moments, zany sidekick characters, and double the romance possibilities (remember there are two princesses and two potential suitors). I know that at my home we're all eagerly awaiting the film and can't wait to see if the evil snow queen "Elsa" gets redeemed or receives some pretty lethal retribution. (Think about Ursula's comeuppance at the ship-steering hands of Prince Eric in "The Little Mermaid.") Disney doesn't shy away at having their nefarious evil-doers get thrust into the fiery pits of animated hell.
In a movie titled "Frozen," it will be fun to see if the conclusion melts the hardened heart of "Elsa" or if she gets stowed away into icy suspended animation. Whichever way, I expect my kids will be requesting a second and third viewing.
Until then, I'm going to stay cool and have a frozen yogurt! (Or maybe even an ice-cream sundae. July 21 is National Ice-Cream Day, after all.)
