- FRC has helped register nearly 500,000 new values voters and distributed millions of voter guides through FRC's allies and its network of more than 18,000 churches.
- FRC hosted a major simulcast, "iPledge Sunday 2012," which reached over 6,000 churches and home groups and aired on Christian television networks across the country.
- FRC has been touring the country this year with the Heritage Foundation for the "Your Money, Your Values, Your Vote" Values Bus tour. The tour has traveled more than 70,000 miles through 28 states over the last 14 months.

- FRC Action hosted its annual Values Voter Summit, the largest gathering of social conservatives every year in Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Family Research Council Action says evidence suggests massive Election Day turnout among values voters. In the last 14 months FRC Action's Values Bus has crisscrossed the country campaigning for values in 28 states. The Values Bus was greeted by enthusiastic crowds as it spent the final weekend of this election cycle in Ohio. FRC Action President, Tony Perkins spoke at a church in Dayton, Ohio Sunday morning and a church in Springdale, Ohio on Sunday evening. "In my almost twenty years involved in politics, I have never seen values voters so energized," said Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins. "This level of intensity is clearly driven by this administration's policies that are so hostile to religious freedom. The Obamacare's mandates are a clear infringement on religious freedom. "President Obama talks about the freedom of worship which is what we do within the four walls of the church. However, values voters are concerned about the freedom of religion which is the ability to live your life according to the teachings of your faith. These voters see that freedom of religion is under attack by this President. I would not be surprised to see tomorrow's turnout of values voters eclipse what we saw in 2004," concluded Perkins. This year, in advance of the election:

Can't you buy a milk chocolate bar while buying a dark one for him?
If I'm in a good mood! Seriously, my husband is picky. Actually, I buy little chocolate for myself even. I prefer a good cup of coffee, which is harder to find than good chocolate. But he will probably get some good dark chocolate in his stocking this year.

Sentence #281967
You cannot translate sentences because you did not add any language in your profile.
"How far along are you?" is a question often used when enquiring of a pregnant lady how far advanced the pregnancy is.
OK, but then again, because I'm starting from German, I have a doubt that the German translation had this in mind. This should be reviewed by a native German speaker.
Then, "Wie weit bist du?" to translate "How far along are you?" is wrong...
> the sentence has the more general meaning "How far are you?",
> indicating progress on work, etc.
I would say it's 90%+ pregnancy, <10% anything else. That may vary a little depending on where you live, of course.
Ah, so you think "Wie weit bist du?" should be unlinked? I thought you were arguing the opposite!
This sentence is ambiguous... it could be pregnancy related, but if my friend was writing an article or painting a painting, I might ask him the same question.

Italian Minister Blasts ECB as it Buys Italian Bonds
Italy's industry minister on Friday blasted the European Central Bank for not doing enough to lower his country's borrowing costs, even as the ECB was buying Italian government bonds.
The way in which the crisis has been managed in the last few months has been indubitably very dismaying, Corrado Passera said at a Paris conference, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
We still don't have an overall solution to the European financial crisis, adding that Europe needed a real central bank to better handle the stability and liquidity of the markets.
As Passera was speaking, the ECB's open-market traders were buying Italian 10-year bonds, a move designed to drive down the yield on that sovereign debt to sustainable levels. Earlier in the day, the yield on 10-year Italian government securities rose as high as 7.12 percent. A yield of 7 percent or more is considered a historically unsustainable benchmark.
Even more worrying than the rise past 7 percent, the spread between Italian bonds and Germany's benchmark 10-year notes -- considered the safest in Europe -- rose to 5.24 percent.
Passera's comment reflect views of many leaders in heavily indebted Eurozone countries who want the ECB to adopt a mandate to promote economic growth. The ECB's current mission only mentions price stability. Officials in many heavily indebted countries want the ECB to reduce their nation's debts by printing more euros and thus monetizing their debt away.
Germany's political establishment has been staunchly against such moves. France, Europe's second-largest economy, has sometimes -- but not always -- sided with Berlin, making France's leadership a wildcard.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti was in Paris on Friday for talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. French Primer Minister Francois Fillon was quoted by the ANSA news agency Friday saying the views of France and Italy are almost totally the same.

Product: Leafit
Website: Leafit.com
Price: $47
Opportunity Type: MLM & Social Networking
Rank: Not Legit! (40/100)
What Is Leafit?
In this following review we'll be taking a look into Leafit and whether or not this is a truly legitimate method that may help you earn money through it's MLM opportunity structure and integration into various social marketing mediums.
First of all, Leafit has attempted to create its platform into its own virtual social media type service that apparently claims by using it can allow you to earn an actual online income.
The sketchiest part of Leafit however, isn't so much that it's attempting to become a large social network similar to Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and what have you, but its ironic contradictory stems from the fact that its a social media network in which one can earn from by attaining referrals!
What kind of social media platform does that come across as?
What Separates Leafit From Networks like Instagram or Pinterest?
First of all, the fact it offers an MLM type scheme into its own attempted social media outlet causes a bit of raise for concern.
Secondly, Leafits opportunity operates based on the fact where not only does a member need to share a picture of a so-called affiliate product, but must be a product that is purchased or bought buy another Leafit member.
Essentially its a result of these picture product/service recommendations that allows for this highly awkward in nature type earning mechanism.
Leafit Consumer Reviews and Income Opportunity: Legit..?
Many consumer reviews concerning Leafit has proven this MLM and social media networking business model as a highly inneficient means to doing online business.
I remember like it was yesterday, all the hype that was occuring around Leafit's pre-launch, and I had a feeling that despite the professional look of its advertising that it would be nearly impossible to pull-off.
Here we are today and Leafit has almost nothing to show for!
How Much Does It Cost To Join Leafit?
Becoming a member of Leafit is free, which shouldn't come across as a surprise, as its successful means to an attempt as a profitable social networking opportunity relies on it completely.
Nevertheless, you can still potentially earn with Leafit, but it won't come across as being a simple business endeavor.
Here's How You Earn As a Leafit Internet Marketing Member:
#1 – Affiliates: As LeafIt members, potential to earn up to ten percent in sale commissions made from any and all affiliated LeafIt Sales by other members.
#2 – MLM/Network Marketers: May earn $17 commissions for every personally recruited iGrow Membership Enrollment into Leafit's Paid MLM earning opportunity.
Hence, in order to take part as a Leafit mlm associate, you must be willing to pay a $49 monthly fee. When doing so, you get additional access into Leafit by unlocking certain tools and features to help with your ongoing Leafit promotion. This includes:
– Your own backoffice to check up on your latest referrals, amount of income/money earned, along with various promotional tools and resources (banners, text ads, etc.)
– Some basic Leafit recruiting sales training.
– Your basic MLM-type capture and lead pages for your recruiting sales funnel.
As a Leafit Associate you also get the ability to earn from four different available methods. However, in order for this to work in the first place, you must be have certain methods in place that will allow you to consistently recruit new potential members.
These new Leafit earning opportunities include:
– 9 Generations of Uni-level
– 3 x 9 Forced Matrix
– Evergreen Check Match
– 9 Generations of eCommerce Sales
What I Don't Like About Leafit:
Sure, Leafit has come up with a very unique business model in place, but is it proving to be as sustainable as claimed during their over-hyped pre-launch?
It seems Leafit has lost a lot of that leverage they once had and in-turn a great decrease in traffic. I believe it is no longer being seen as a viable solution, which in essence makes complete sense.
MLM opportunities to begin with must have great products and services to back up in order to sustain long enough, or else will immediately go out of business. Using Social Media and Networking as a simple solution to replace such products and services in order for mere profit while may seem like a good idea at first sight, can easily be seen by average members as nothing but a way for the company and potential members to profit from.
It's like Leafit is using its marketing side (its MLM network marketers and affiliates) to use and profit off from its consumer side (that is, its normal everyday social media networking enthusiasts).
The company couldn't be anymore blatant with their online earning scheme, despite their very subtle attempt, which is what truly makes this Leafit opportunity very ironic looking in nature.
Furthermore, given the mere fact that the Leafit company would be creating a product and service much more geared towards helping the overall profits of online marketers, and less so, with your everyday facebook/social media fan, the company is now stuck with MLM networkers looking to profit off eachother from the purchasing of eachothers pictures of products..
LeafIt Makes No Sense! Overview:
Nevertheless, Leafits overall advertised marketing scheme when sending out the message to "make money by posting pictures," seems highly-deceiving. As we now know that is no longer the complete truth, we can still come to conclude that Leafit is by no means an earning opportunity to waste your energy, money, or time on.. atleast not for the time-being. It's possible that if they focused more on the consumer side of things and the product as a true, maybe even "non-profit" social media platform, just maybe they could create something useful in the future!
Thanks for reading, and if you're still looking around for an enjoyable way to start an income, or are simply hungry for success, check out my comparison table below for my most legitimate opportunity!

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

That means that my really great post idea is going to be served up more half-baked than usual . . . but with the confidence that many of you regular commenters will take the concept and run with it.
The genesis of this idea came from a weighty theological question posed by my nine-year-old son during our family catechesis: "Why did God come to earth two thousand years ago instead of now?" Normally I am stumped by these questions that kids think up, but I know the answer to this one: Clearly, God wanted to inspire the sacred authors before the advent of Twitter, lest the Bible be reduced to a series of 73 tweets of 140 characters each, to wit:
God gives humans a good deal. Humans screw it up. God lectures humans, bails them out. Again. Codependent? No, just covenantal.
Genesis (alternate version)
More dysfunctional families than 12 daytime talk shows, but God makes them into a great nation anyway. Eat your heart out, Dr. Phil!
After ten warnings, Pharaoh goes up against God AGAIN, gets a-- kicked. LOL. But Hebs whining "Are we there yet?" gets on even God's nerves.
Rats, geckos, and bats are officially off the menu, folks. Forget about that Kentucky Fried Bats franchise concept.
Going in! Wait, someone is here already. Let's walk around the city a few times.
Stuff happens.
Stuff happens, and only God knows why.
Sure, the Assyrians invaded your country and enslaved your people. But seeing their livestock in sackcloth will be the sweetest revenge.
Gospel of John
Jesus said, "The Father is in me, and I am in the Father; if you live in me, the Father lives in you, and--" Uh, we need an editor, stat!
OMG! No, this time it's for real. Time to think up new, more pious way to express surprise.
Yeah, I know you can do better. So Twitter away in the comments box, and let's reduce the Bible to 10,220 characters or less, 140 characters at a time! 'Cause you know, those Sunday readings do go kind of long sometimes....

Penbro is a small select kennel, who specialise in Black Miniature Schnauzers.
As a Founder Member of the Kennel Club Assured Breeders scheme, I aim to breed healthy puppies that can live a long healthy life and provide their owners with years of fun and happiness. I have breed black miniature schnauzers for 15 years and competed at open and championship level throughout this time.
I judge all 3 sizes of schnauzers at open shows and award Challenge Certificates in Giant Schnauzers.
All my dogs live in the home and love to be with people and puppies are reared within the .... (click to read more)

We are a small family kennel in the heart of the New Forest where our dogs can enjoy the freedom of long cool walks under the trees. We are now involved with Cocker Spaniels, and Mini Schnauzers. We no longer breed GSDs, but we do miss them.
We caught our interest in dogs when we purchased our first German Shepherd bitch puppy in 1973 and have been 'hooked' on the breed ever since. We have shown our dogs over the years, but our main interest is in breeding quality dogs with good character and as true to the breed standard as possible. To this aim we only use the best dogs available and .... (click to read more)

We have over 27 years experience with all 3 sizes of Schnauzer having started with a Mini in 1987. We still own all 3 sizes, breed Minis and Giants and show Giants all over Europe. We are KC Assured and inspected breeders, breeding all 4 recognised colours of mini and both black and pepper/salt Giants. All dogs live in the family home and are well socialised from birth.

I take huge pride in raising beautiful, quality, confident and happy puppies. All our puppies live amongst the family and therefore are used to household noises, children, cats and other dogs. This helps hugely when they leave for their new homes.
My priorities are breeding for temperament, and puppies of correct and good conformation, they are all eye tested and health checked before leaving.

Thread: Bought some gold today...
Bought some gold today...
...wow, felt a little weird. DH and I had been talking about diversifying our portfolio because of the dollar's decline, and how we both have a pessimistic view of the economy - so we actually bought a 1 oz Canadian Maple Leaf Gold coin. When it gets here we're going to go out and get a safe deposit box at the bank for it - DH doesn't trust the safe that we do have.
Not that I'm trying to pass out investment advice to anyone, but is anyone else here considering precious metals or already own any?

I have gold I'm thinking about selling, mainly collectors coins. Not sure if I should now or wait for gold to go back up to historic highs again in 20 years and sell them at that time.
Just can't make up my mind.
I sometimes feel hanging onto them would be the best thing but then I feel how I hate having them as they are so very valuable and can get stolen or damaged.
I don't think I'd be buying any gold now... but selling would be good if you had the right conections to get a fair price.03-16-2008, 11:48 PM #3

I've actually played with this idea recently as I was trying to figure out how to eventually diversify our retirement. In the past people were suppose to use the three legged stool -
1) pension,
2) social security, and
3) the stock market.
For us
1) there isn't a pension,
2) social security is questionable,
3) that leaves the stock market.
Even diversifying within the stock market is still the stocck market. I'm not sure what the current "stool" is suppose to be but what we are looking at is 1) stockmarket throught our work plans,
2) saving and buying extra property in cash either to rent or resell at a much later date, and
3) precious metals and /or commodities. (We're still researching what commodities are)
So, that said, from what I've researched so far small gold "bars"/coins will probably be the first step when we get to this point.03-17-2008, 08:07 AM #5

I have still been buying used jewelry, if I find a great price. I spent about 800 in the last month. I had planned to sell, but the chinese economy looks pretty strong so gold may go even higher. I am still planning on selling a small amount of my scrap gold. I may buy a gold stock fund in case of a major economic meltdown. I also want to open a sharebuilder account and I would purchase some AU stock.03-17-2008, 11:25 AM #6

I'm selling gold right now. It seems the investment advice is to buy low, sell high. Since gold is at record prices, it seems more wise to sell than buy.

I'm Leaving My Body to Science, Not Medical, but Physics
No one else has fallen this far,
And lived to tell the tale-- so many times,
So I'm donating my body to physics.
They can use me as a crash-test dummy
Like everyone else already has.
Or drop me from air-planes to test new parachutes,
For free-fall is all too familiar.
Or, they could put me in, over my head,
And see how long 'till I sink...
Regardless, I'm used to it all,
And afraid of change,
So physicists can abuse my body in death
Like everyone abuses my heart in life.

Donnelly says Indiana VA sites not as troubled
U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly says administrators at Indiana's VA hospitals have told him they don't have the same kind of troubles as the 26 veterans facilities across the country facing complaints about long waits and backlogs.
Donnelly said during a visit Monday to Lafayette for Memorial Day ceremonies that officials must review "every single detail" of upcoming reports about allegations of falsified records and treatment delays. The Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers serve nearly 9 million veterans.
Donnelly tells the Journal & Courier that Congress will "move heaven and earth" to make sure that veterans get the medical care they deserve.
Donnelly is also pushing a measure for annual mental health assessments for military personnel in an attempt to reduce the number of suicides.

File Under Coming Soon: Trevor Von Eeden
Hot on the heels of the Armando Gil web-site (and I've updated that with new art) is the all new site from the ACAB web-world...none other than Trevor Von Eeden! I have to admit that I get the same feeling from this site as I do from Armando and the others - Trevor is a genuine legend in the comic book industry - hell, he co-created Black Lightning, and if that's all he did, and not those stunning Green Arrow and Batman stories back in the day, then he'd be fondly remembered. But there's more, loads more. Wait til you see some of the art I've got lined up for this one...more news as it comes to hand.

An experience in using ontologies for automated negotiations

Negotiation Ontology
Protocol Type
NegotiationProtocol X + Strategy
Why a Negotiation Ontology
Negotiation mechanism
Making the ontology operative
We aimed to show that an ontological representation of the knowledge concerning the rules of encounter could reduce the need to hardcode knowledge in the agent in the agent.
The strategy is guided by the ontology
Automated negotiation by hardcoding both the protocol and the strategy.
Open automated negotiation. Mechanism and strategy determined "on the fly"
In order to prove our aim we have:
(deffacts auctioneer-processing-facts
(auctioneer-operation-at end-of-round clear)
(buyers many)
(sellers single)
(k-value 0.0)
(deffunction transaction-price (?k ?askprice ?bidprice)
(+ (* ?k ?askprice) (* (- 1 ?k) ?bidprice))
• The problem with is to participate at the negotiation getting the best price
• In order to get the best price one need to bid strategically
(ie "lie" about your valuation)
• Eg In an ascending auction, with private-values, strategic
bidding involves refining your value-claim upwards from
an initial small offer, in the hope that you will be awarded
the resource at the lower price.
– Note that incremental bidding is not the only good
strategy for an e-Bay style auction, eg "Sniping"
• Depends on the rules of the game (ie the negotiation mechanism)
• Depends on what strategies are being played by other agents
• "Solve" the game: find an equilibrium solution or a dominant strategy
• Problem: solving the game for arbitrary games (mechanisms) is uncomputable
(deffacts auctioneer-processing-facts
(auctioneer-operation-at end-of-round clear)
(buyers many)
(sellers 1)
(k-value 0.0)
(defrule determine-clearing-price
(quote (ask ?ap) (bid ?bp))
(k-value ?k)
(bind ?tp (transaction-price ?k ?ap ?bp))
(assert (transaction-price ?tp))
(deffunction transaction-price (?k ?a ?b)
(+ (* ?k ?a) (* (-1 ?k) ?b))

(auctioneer-operation-at end-of-round clear)
(k-value 0.0)
(deffunction transaction-price (?k ?askprice ?bidprice)
(+ (* ?k ?askprice) (* (-1 ?k) ?bidprice))
• We extend JASA's AbstractAuctioneer class, and create
a JESSAuctioneer that uses the expert system to reason about
what actions to take based on the rules describing the negotiation mechanism.
• eg:..
public class JESSAuctioneer extends AbstractAuctioneer {
public double determineClearingPrice( Shout bid, Shout ask ) {
try {
assertString(shout2Jess(J_CLEAR_BID, bid));
assertString(shout2Jess(J_CLEAR_ASK, ask));
double clearingPrice =
return clearingPrice;
Tuning strategies
Rules determining best strategies are explicitly coded in the agent knowledge base
(defrule tuning-2ndprice
(sellers 1)
(not (auctioneer-operation-at end-of-round generate-quote))
(k-value 0.0)
(assert (use-strategy "uk.ac.liv.auction.agent.PureSimpleStrategy"))
(assert (use-strategy-parameter "delta" 0))
A strategy heuristic
We also code heuristics to improve the learner efficiency and avoid the use of lookup tables

A/N: Alright, so this is a bit different, if I want to be quite honest. All of projects in the past have been written in first-person narrative, and despite how desperately I've tried writing in third-person, it never seems to come out quite right. I suppose my writing style is more appropriate using first-person, considering how much I deal with the character's emotions and internal thoughts.
This is my attempt at third person, and yes, I'm very nervous about allowing others to view it, but I'm desperate to see if it's... adequate. Acceptable.
Rated T for some minor insinuations and strong language. I've decided to deviate a bit from my usual ship, and this is Logan/James slash with a lot of fluff and some mild angst, as usual. It's short, but it was meant as an... experiment, I guess you could say. I'm very uncomfortable with third-person narrative currently, and I really want to fix that. Regardless, I hope you guys like it. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Big Time Rush or any of the characters involved. No copyright infringement intended.
Summary: "Out of all four boys, James & Logan were, undoubtedly, the most considerate—the most empathetic, the most understanding and sensitive... the warmest." And neither of them really knew just how deeply they truly needed each other. Logan/James slash.
Out of all four boys, James and Logan were, undoubtedly, the most considerate—the most empathetic, the most understanding and sensitive... the warmest.
It was almost as though, the two of them together, created a furious sun—a ball of fire that swelled with bright yellow and orange flames. They reacted well to one another, almost as though the presence of one would somehow complete the other, and in a way, that was the only true way to describe them: as a combined existence. They were a single entity, an ethereal force of nature that could, potentially, bring warmth and comfort, endowed with a rich sense of euphoria and devotion, but could also, just as easily, bring unadorned devastation and disaster—such a drastic span of two extremes that no one had dared toy with the current balance of things.
They absorbed each others compassion as though it was oxygen—a necessary element for either of them to function—and they thrived on it, dispelling it just as equally for the other to soak up. It was a soft, tender type of synchronicity that they shared, so obscured and foreign, an emotion almost like affection in the way that they would, without hesitation, look to one another for support—in the way that either of them would react to a specific situation.
And it was terribly difficult to not notice the intensity, the fervency, the heat and complete absorption between the two of them that was so absolutely awe-inspiring and overwhelming, so captivating and obvious but utterly impossible to decipher—to understand and simply know the true depth they shared. Because despite how obvious it really was... Not one person truly knew just how much affection and adoration both Logan and James held for one another.
Not one person knew that, late at night, Logan would sneak into James' room and burrow deep beneath his black, fleece comforter. No one knew that James would not only tolerate this seemingly intimate intrusion, but rather, he would embrace it completely. That he would wrap his arms around Logan and pull him closer, burying his face into the smaller boy's soft, brunette hair that smelled so much like vanilla mixed with freshly chopped cinnamon—no one knew that that was James' favorite smell in the entire world. Not a single soul could possibly interpret the infallible truth behind the hidden glances they would share, the lingering touches and the way they would, unknowingly, lean towards each other, seeking the other out and so desperately needing to be just a little bit closer.
And no one knew that Logan... Well, Logan loved James, almost as much as James loved him.
But it wasn't until late one night, the moon high in the sky and casting a low white light in through James' bedroom window, that Logan actually told him so.
He buried himself deep into James' side, his arms wrapped tightly around the expanse of muscle and smooth skin that surrounded him so fully, smothering him with warmth and security. Because 'smothering' was the only word to properly describe it, a feeling like suffocation, but not nearly as negative. It gave the sensation of free-falling from the top of a rocky cliff, cascading down until he reached the solid blue water, overwhelming him, making it impossible to be dignified or graceful, but the water was so pleasant and perfect that he simply couldn't care.
And he found himself clutching so desperately onto the smooth, warm skin that had kept him grounded all these month—the form and shape that he had memorized, faltering under the pressure of his fingertips; he was certain there would be bruises, but needed to know. He needed to reassure himself with tangible evidence that, yes, James was here and holding him. James was his.
"S'matter?" James' voice was worn and saturated with sleep—scratchy—and even still, the most beautiful sound Logan thought he'd ever heard in his entire life.
"I love you."
"I love you... Fuckin' so much, and sometimes..." Logan paused; words caught in his throat and choking him for only a second. "God, sometimes, you don't seem real. You're, like..." His grip tightened and James understood as he pulled him closer and allowed Logan's nails to dig slightly into his skin. "You're just here." His voice was raw and strained—like a rubber band getting ready to snap, and he could feel his eyes glaze over from moisture. He was aware, even as he spoke the words, that they made very little sense, but he knew James would understand—knew that James would have understood perfectly well even without any words at all, because that's just how they were.
"Mmmf." James tried to respond, he really did, but Logan was desperately pulling him impossibly closer and his face was, once again, buried in the mess of dark brown, vanilla scented hair.
"Just... Tell me that this isn't some, y'know... Game? Fuck. I don't even know..." His voice was raw and deep—muddled and suffused with unrestrained emotions, pent up to the point of utter insanity. This was driving him to the point of complete desperation. "You... Do you love me?" Logan was practically panting the words, gasping and trying to hold back because he didn't want James to know just how emotionally invested he really was—didn't want him to know how much it would absolutely kill him if James felt... nothing. "I mean, I know we've never talked about it, and... This whole thing was meant to be no-strings attached, y'know? In the beginning, it was just for fun, nothin' serious. But..." Deep down inside Logan knew the truth—knew that James loved him more than life itself, would do anything for him, but still couldn't stop the flood of tears that finally fell. "Well, it's been three months... And you're still here. Just... don't be mad if I'm wrong, alright? I couldn't... I don't think I could handle that. I never wanted to tell you, but God, James... I can't do this anymore. I can't do this if you don't love me. You do love me, right?" And finally the torrent of words stopped, because Logan was gasping for breath, trying to ease the rising panic within him and calm the maelstrom of thoughts buzzing through every synapse and nerve in his body.
He could feel the tears pouring down the sides of his cheeks and he felt genuinely perplexed by the odd sensation, because God, how long had it been since he'd last cried? Two years? Probably more. And he felt pathetic as he finally lifted himself up on his elbow so he could get a good look at James, his chest rising and falling as the low moonlight spilled across his sun-kissed skin.
And the sight before him quite literally made his heart stop, just for a second, as fear gripped him, clenching within his stomach and filling him with an immeasurable sense of awe and reverence. Because James... God, James was crying, too. And, fuck, James never cries—had never once cried in front of Logan in the 10 years that they had been friends. His expression was filled with such a deep anguish and affliction that Logan couldn't possibly fathom what was currently running through his friend's thoughts. "Yes... God, yes... I love you so much that, fuck... Sometimes I don't even know how to handle it," he choked out, his voice breaking on the last syllable as a sob caught at the base of his throat. He, so very delicately, lifted his hand to Logan's cheek, the tip of his thumb brushing away the tears that fell so unremittingly.
And not much was said as Logan buried himself, once again, into James' side, seeking out the ever present warmth and certainty that resided within the other boy. Maybe their soft caresses and heated glances spoke greater volumes than either could ever hope to verbalize and express in anything other than their own secret language of silent understanding. Perhaps, Logan could have been found the next morning, holding onto James as though his very life depended on it, and maybe, James was holding on just as tight.
And it's possible that some things just can't be defined and categorized—that in some situations, everything in unavoidably messy and unorganized. Once in a while, it's completely impossible to explain something, to justify it and furthermore understand it.
Because in the end, neither Logan nor James could even begin to tell you how exactly they had fallen so uncontrollably, inexorably, undeniably in love with each other.
But, hey, neither of them were complaining.
A/N: Oh, gosh... I don't think you understand how absolutely nerve-racking it is for me to post this. It feels choppy and awkward to me, as though my writing style is too... poetic and emotionally-based that writing in third-person is virtually impossible for me to grasp. I just hope that it exuded the intended message—that the plot is easily identifiable, even if the writing is a bit... cryptic.
I would love to hear some feedback, in fact, that is the sole reason I'm posting this story. I really need to know if this has any potential what so ever. Was my attempt at third-person narrative completely worthless or did you actually get some remote enjoyment out of reading this? Thoughts and opinions?
Once again, thank you to everyone who has been reading all of my stories, adding them to their favorites, and reviewing them. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. :)
Reviews are like caffeine to my muse, and well... He just loves caffeine. :)

We are married lesbians, she is giving birth. I want a parentage order so I have legal rights as well, more than just being on the birth certificate. Can I get a parentage order without needing a lawyer?
The best thing to do is to do a second-parent adoption. Full faith and credit in all states, unfriendly Texas counties, etc. Texas has a powerful "no collateral attack" after 6 months for adoptions, meaning after 6 months, no chance of it later being set aside if there is a death and mean relatives come forward, a scorched-earth divorce, etc. Next best would be maternity/parentage order. Solid court order, full faith and credit, but slightly more open to attack later. The most risky is to rely on the marriage--and you will be able to get on birth certificate but that is not enough if there is any later problem, dispute, etc. Now if there is no father, anonymous donor sperm is used, you can hope for "presumed maternity" without court order, and hope no problems ever, and maybe that's enough. But it's risky. There is bad case law out of NY and Maryland for Mama2 in these situations, which I worry would influence unfriendly-to-LGBT-folks judges. Do the "family insurance" thing, and talk to a lawyer who knows a lot about LBGT adoption/parentage. I can do a phone consult for you if you like, I do a lot of LGBT and adoption/parentage, AAARTA Fellow, LGBT Family Law Institute, etc. Suggestion: think about getting legal sorted before the birth. If this is your first, you'll be too overwhelmed with baby stuff to think too much about legal docs. Whatever happens, best of luck, and congrats on the baby.See question
how i can find the form letter of terminating parental rights in order the childs be adopted in texas
Adoptions are one of my niche areas, and I would be happy to talk to you about how to get done what you need. I checked, and Texas Law Help does not seem to have a form Relinquishment of Parental Rights, but they do have an adoption guide: http://texaslawhelp.org/resource/common-questions-about-adoptions?ref=zdXDC There are some areas (amicable divorce) where there are good forms to be able to get the legal matter done without an attorney, but adoption is different. It is possible to terminate a parent's rights without a relinquishment, depending on the circumstances.See question
We have been together for 15 years.
It sounds like it would be really important for your partner to do a will and estate plan (which should also include medical power of attorney, other medical planning documents). If he is not mentally competent, there may be issues from this, but talk to an attorney about the specific circumstances to get some advice customized to your situation. My office is experienced with dealing with estate plans for ss couples and unmarried opposite sex couples, give me a call for a consult!See question
I find reference to the paperwork in the family code, health & safety code, and on the family court fees page but can't find the actual document(s). This question is in reference to adoption that has been finalised.
To end an adoption, you must hire an experienced adoption attorney. If it is through a CPS foster placement, there is support through them possible. Depending on the circumstances, adoptive parents who have a problem adoption may have options, but this is a very fact-specific issue, very much need to contact a lawyer who has dealt with CPS Refusal-to-Affect-Parental-Responsibility cases, experience/training on failed adoption issues. You can end up with CPS record if you do it wrong, and worst-case is even criminal prosecution. Or if this is trying to undo a CPS termination of parental rights, that can be extraordinarily difficult, but under certain circumstances, not impossible. Basically it is important to get a kid out of a bad situation and into a good one as part of this process, be aware that kid's best interest will be paramount for judge, social workers, etc.See question

My office handles a lot of step-parent adoptions and sounds like that's exactly what you need. Give me a call for a consult! The fact that your husband is bio-grandfather doesn't change it much, should be fairly simple as these things go. As for birth certificate, the normal process is for the adopting parents (or their attorney) to contact Texas BVS to give them information after adoption court order done. BVS then amends the birth certificate.See question

There is a civil suit for interference with possession that family lawyers can file, along with a TRO and custody suit.
There is also a criminal offense about the same thing, so if you absolutely cannot afford an attorney, could try calling the police, filing a report on this.
Could also try CPS, but with such an old teen, I doubt they'd do much, and you should talk to a lawyer who deals with CPS a lot before you voluntarily invite CPS into your life.
Your best bet is a consult with a family attorney, who can do the TRO and SAPCR (custody) case you really want, and file the civil interference as well. Good luck!

You should find an attorney experienced with CPS cases, and specifically "relative interventions" into CPS cases. If you cannot afford an attorney, contact CPS, if you give the children's names and DOBs and ask for their case worker to call you back because you want to be a "relative placement," there is a tiny chance they could call you and it could work out without a lawyer. You could also try to get the child's mother to contact case worker and propose you as relative placement--if she likes the idea, tell her to write it in a letter to caseworker, harder for them to ignore it that way. Contact my office for a consult if you want--even if you cannot afford to hire me, I can give you some good advice on options. Good luck!See question

My daughter is from a previous relationship, and I have two sons with my husband. He wants to adopt her so she feels more like part of the family. Her biological father has not been in her life what so ever. When she was 3 weeks old he was arreste...
His rights do need to be legally terminated, but given the facts, it does not sound like a hard case for your adoption attorney. If he will not relinquish (and always worth asking, handy if he does), then there are other grounds that can be used here--abandonment, criminal penalties, non-payment of child support. Hire an attorney knowledgable about adoptions to help you out. I practice in Bexar for cases like this, if you want to talk to me (and will do phone consults on cases like this). Or you can try AAAA for someone local:

Yes. Go see an adoption attorney who represents a lot of ss couples in second parent adoptions. I like Lauren Duffer in the DFW area--and she's even in Arlington! Second parent adoptions by ss couples are increasingly common in Texas. Judges in friendly counties have been letting people in unfriendly counties waive venue and doing them statewide for years. But as you can see from other attorney answers, you really need to see someone who does a lot of LGBT legal issues, and has done a lot of adoption cases. There is a lot of misinformation about how this all works, since there are some counties where a judge is no-way no-how signing a second-parent adoption order.See question

Well, as the calendar year turns, let's take a look at some interesting, or banal depending on your mileage on such tidbits, factoids about the 2012 New York Mets First up, a look at the Met All-Time Roster, and Met Leaders by games played at each position; The Mets used 49 different players in 2012, which included 23 new Mets, bringing the All-Time Roster, after 51 seasons to 940 players to have played in at least one game for the franchise. And out of those 23, 10 of whom made their Major League debuts. And now a look at the movements on various Mets All-Time position leaders; First Base Vinny Rottino's seven games and Zach Lutz' game at first brings the Met total to 146. Ike Davis's healthy season gives him 330 total, which is good for 9th all-time in games played. Another solid season should put him into 3rd all-time behind Ed Kranepool and Keith Hernandez. Davis' usual replacement this past year, as well as on the strength of handling the position the most in 2011, Daniel ...

Very good report. You are right on the money. However, allow me to comment on the 8hr / 16hr and license procedure. You can't work as a security guard in NYS unless you actually have the license in your hands OR at a minimun, your application is in the mail to DOS. A security guard company cannot hire you and then wait untilyou decide that you wantto bea security guard. They must send the application to Albany upon you being hired, if they don't, this could be a liability issue for them if you get injured or did something wrong.
While it is correct that all you need to apply for a job or your license is your 8hr pre, most companies prefer to interview when you have both. There are many reasons for this, which varies from company to company.
If your 16hr ojt can only be done on the job in order to get your certificate, what happens when you change job sites. Example - you got your 16hr training at a hotel and then you are moved to a construction site or an apartment building or a corporate office or a school or a parking lot or a hospital. While it is called on-the-job, the training is actually done in the classroomwith many different examples on many differentduties and onmany different situations.
I hope this info helps. Keep up the good work. You are doing a good service as a Watchman.

Hey thank you very much for your post.
I was about to set up an interview with one of these companies but luckily I surfed
the web to know more information about the job.
Be aware all this scams or most of them do not have the real name of the company.
Usually serious Security Guards companies have their own website.
People be careful what you put yourselves into.
It's a Jungle out there and so many are scambag ripping off people.

The Cappuccino Cycling Club was established in 2009 by a group of cycling friends living in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
The aim of the club is to enjoy and promote road cycling in one of the most beautiful areas of the country and to do this in a friendly and enjoyable environment.
We are primarily road cyclists (drop-bar) and a typical run out will involve a route from Harrogate, which will normally be around 50 miles on our weekend club runs, and most of the time does involve stopping off at a cafe to recharge our batteries with coffee and cakes. We normally advise new members that they should not be beginners to road cycling and have a reasonable level of fitness.
We ride four times a week on a Saturday and Sunday mornings, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, meeting outside St Aidan's School, Oatlands Drive, Harrogate.
Details of all club rides can be found on the Ride Times and Details page
We also meet on the first Friday of every month in the Swan on the Stray in Harrogate from 7.30pm for a few beers and to discuss anything cycling or club related.
The Cappuccino Cycling Club is also affiliated to British Cycling.

Local community groups create 'cabinet of curiosities' for Kensington
Press release
December 2010
Local community groups create 'cabinet of curiosities' for Kensington Palace exhibition
Local community groups from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have created unique and personal exhibits for a new display as part of Kensington Palaces Enchanted Palace experience. The cabinet is filled with new installations, created by local community groups and schools who have been working with Historic Royal Palaces' Outreach and Community Involvement team.
The theme for the cabinet is journeys undertaken by women, their mothers and grandmothers, from all over the world to reach London. Historic Royal Palaces and community arts organisation Stitches in Time have been working with a Bengali women's groups across the capital creating two textile 'maps' of Kensington, embroidered with stories describing their journeys from South Asia to London. Members of the John Scurr Community Centre and parents from the Portman Children's Centre and Queens Park Children's Centre have also helped to create the exhibits. Stitches in Time have also gathered personal items lent by women from London who've come from different countries that represent their journeys to be displayed in the cabinet of curiosities.
A 'dress of sorrows' for Queen Caroline, specially created by textile artist Maria Theresa Fernandez based on her experiences of working with residents of women's refuges, is also exhibited in the cabinet alongside twelve mini paper dresses crafted by a group of students from
Into-University. A series of 'Journey Journals' created by students from a number of schools in North Kensington working with artist Francis Kiernan in collaboration with the Prince's Drawing School, will complete the 'curiosities' displayed in the cabinet.

Enchanted Palace is open at Kensington Palace 7 days a week, 10am – 5pm. Please see http://www.hrp.org.uk/ for further information, including admission prices.
Independent charity Historic Royal Palaces is undertaking a £12 million major renovation project at Kensington Palace, to be completed in March 2012, in time for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics. Whilst improvement works are underway, the immersive exhibition Enchanted Palace has cast a spell over Kensington's magnificent State Apartments, creating a mysterious and atmospheric world for visitors to explore. Contemporary fashion installations inspired by the stories of the seven princesses who once lived at the palace - Mary, Anne, Caroline, Charlotte, Victoria, Margaret and Diana – are enhanced by live performance, storytelling, soundscapes and film projections, to reveal Kensington Palace in a magical new light.
As part of this evolving exhibition, a series of stunning new displays of courtly costume will be unveiled, created by leading British designers Paul Costelloe, Vivienne Westwood, Bruce Oldfield, and Zandra Rhodes. These vivid creations have been imaginatively presented in association with artists from Cornish theatre company WILDWORKS.
Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace and Kew Palace. We help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built.
We receive no funding from the Government or the Crown, so we depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors.
These palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, and we manage them for the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.
We believe in four principles. Guardianship: giving these palaces a future as long and valuable as their past. Discovery: encouraging people to make links with their own lives and today's world. Showmanship: doing everything with panache. Independence: having our own point of view and finding new ways to do our work. Registered charity number 1068852

Chronic swollen, red, puffy eyes: A cosmetic concern or a bigger issue? (photo)
I've had red and veiny eyelids my whole life, but attributed it to the fact I'm fair skinned. However, within the last several years, my eyes have become more red and swollen, and lately, slightly painful in the morning and at night. I have soreness and slight pressure behind my eyes and very mild burning when I close them. I've had this for so long that I never thought much of it, but now I'm becoming a little concerned. What could it be (if anything)?
Doctor Answers 3
I recommend seeing a board certified ophthalmologist to assess your concerns.
Sorry, this forum is simply not the place to have this questioned answered. You have wonderful ophthalmologist in Columbus. Please see a highly qualified, caring eye MD in your area to be assessed and have your concerns addressed by a physician who can help you.
Web reference: http://lidlift.com/download/
Chronic swollen red puffy lids
Judging from your photo you appear to be suffering from blepharitis which is an inflammation of the eyelids along the lashes. This isn't a dangerous medical condition but can get a lot better with treatment. I recommend seeing an ophthalmologist if you want improvement. Best of luck.
Tough to tell much from this picture as we see very little of the eyelids. Fair skinned individuals with redness often have rosacea. This can also affect the eyelid glands, and the lid margin can appear red. The inflammation in the glands will affect the tear production causing a dry eye. This can cause the redness and burning of the eye. See an oculoplastic specialist who can evaluate your eyes and lids and determine what is going on.

Tuncay and Mido all-clear
Middlesbrough have received a huge boost with the news that Mido and Tuncay Sanli do not have serious injuries.
By Graeme Bailey
Last Updated: 24/09/07 4:24pm
Middlesbrough have received a huge boost with the news that Mido and Tuncay Sanli do not have serious injuries - although Julio Arca has ligament damage.
All three were forced off during the 2-2 Tees-Wear derby clash with Sunderland at the weekend, amid fears they could be set for spells on the sidelines.
The strikers were Boro's main concern with Jeremie Aliadiere already out for six weeks, but the club have now revealed that the concerns over Tuncay's tibia and Mido's hamstring have proved unfounded.
The two - who started together up front against Sunderland - are now in-line to play against Everton on Sunday.
Arca, though, has been ruled out until December after scans confirmed a medial ligament problem.
]"Both Mido and Tuncay have gone for scans and there's no significant damage and both have a chance of playing on Sunday," said Boro boss Gareth Southgate
"However, the injury to Julio looks more serious. It's the medial ligaments in his knee and it looks like it will be at least two months."

Based on our latest estimates, extraordinary measures are projected to be exhausted in the middle of October. At that point, the United States will have reached the limit of its borrowing authority, and Treasury would be left to fund the government with only the cash we have on hand on any given day. The cash balance at that time is currently forecasted to be approximately $50 billion.
The U.S. government already hit the statutory debt limit on May 17, so it's been running on fumes. With intense congressional debates coming up on the debt limit and government spending ('Lew Reiterates No Negotiations With Congress on Debt Limit-Bloomberg; 'Boehner Sees Showdown Over Raising Debt Limit'-NYT; 'Five Reasons the Debt Ceiling Fight Is Scarier This Time'-Businessweek), the market could see volatility again like it did in 2011. Fiscal tightening doesn't really mix well with deleveraging and mispriced manipulated markets. The S&P fell 20% peak to trough between July and October 2011 when Congress raised the debt ceiling and agreed on deficit reduction measures (signed the Budget Control Act of 2011), Standard & Poor's downgraded the U.S.'s debt rating, and when the eurozone crisis flared up. I believe the downgrade was the major catalyst for the crash. Here are the technical events that led up to the 2011 crash: July 29 (ES), July 30 (TLT), August 3 (UBS' Peter Lee), August 4 (VIX), August 8 (collectively, the first down wave), and September 22 (ES' second down wave). To prevent a similar move today, the S&P 500 must not cross the streams.

I am a BIG fan of the Zunes - have three in our house for two people. Sure….I drink the Kool-Aid, but I think the Zune is a bad ass little music/video/picture player and it serves my purposes perfectly. I have been patiently awaiting the new Zune players arrival and we are on the edge retail delivery. We should be able to pick them up in retail outlets today.
If you don't mind a short wait, you can order a customized Zune 2.0 player over at the new ZuneOriginals.net site (ahem…..why are we using Flash instead of SilverLight??). You can add text and/or graphics to a 4/8 gig Zune and have it shipped to you (the 80 gig Zunes can be customized starting in December. Some of the graphics look like bad graffiti art. Others look really good. And I know this is asking for a lot, but there are only 46 or so designs available. I know we are going to sell millions of these things so even more choice would be awesome. I mean it is laser engraved….write an app that lets people create their own designs and submit through the web.
Wishful thinking…..
Soon to be a five Zune household…..
