Beachwood School Board Sets Example on Transgender Bathroom Controversy
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
On June 25, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in all 50 states. LGBTQ people, who waited decades to have their rights affirmed, celebrated with parades in the streets and smiles on their faces.
Many conservative states have reacted negatively to this progressive decision.
One of these states was North Carolina, where on March 23, Governor Pat McCrory signed the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, more commonly known as "the bathroom bill." This bill–which requires anyone in the state of North Carolina, whether they identify with that gender or not, to go to the restroom that matches the gender on their birth certificate–caused many big names in the entertainment and corporate industries to pull their functions from the state.
The suicide rate among LGBTQ students is the highest among all other groups of students, and school should absolutely be a place where a student feels safe and protected."
— English teacher Casey Matthews
On May 13, Obama's departments of justice and education sought to clarify the issue by issuing a directive that public schools must allow children to use the bathrooms of the gender that they identify with as opposed to the one that is on their birth certificate. Schools not compliant with this directive could have their federal funding cut.
Then on May 25, 11 states filed a federal lawsuit, claiming that this directive could bring forth "seismic changes in the operations of the nation's school districts." The states also argued that the Obama administration had overstepped federal authority.
An additional 10 states, including Ohio, joined in on July 8th, claiming the Obama administration twisted Title IX to include rights for transgender people, as it originally just fought against sex discrimination.
More recently, on Aug. 22, Judge Reed O'Connor of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas was highly critical of Obama's directive, according to The New York Times.
"In a 38-page ruling, which [O'Connor] said should apply nationwide," the NYT wrote, "…the government had not complied with federal law when it issued 'directives which contradict the existing legislative and regulatory text.'"
Ultimately, the final decision will be made by higher courts. O'Connor's detrimental decision blocks the minuscule progress that the transgender community has made, kicking open the door to legalized discrimination, potentially leading to a future where bigotry quashes common decency.
Decisions such as O'Connor's are just stubborn attempts to justify hate and legal discrimination in public spaces (such as schools). The obsessive focus on bathroom purity sadly echoes the concerns of Jim Crow segregationists who insisted on separate bathrooms for black and white.
There is no reason that any transgender person should be forced to use a restroom that does not coincide with their identity. Republican lawmakers fear that if directives like the Obama administration's are followed then the United States could become a "sexless society". Other opponents of the bill worry that sexual predators would enter bathrooms the bathrooms of their intended victims. According to the University of Michigan's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, members of the LGBTQ community are no more likely to be sexual predators than heterosexual people.
Hasn't the transgender community already been through enough?
Many transgender individuals face expulsion from their homes, shunning and hate from their communities. As a result, more than 50% of transgender youth have had at least one suicide attempt by their 20th birthday, according to the Youth Suicide Prevention Program.
"The suicide rate among LGBTQ students is the highest among all other groups of students, and school should absolutely be a place where a student feels safe and protected." wrote GSA adviser Casey Matthews in an email.
Transgender people are among the most persecuted minorities around the world, and discriminatory policies only add to the cruel obstacles they face every day.
Sadly, O'Connor's decision is a reminder that transgender people will likely face discrimination until the stubborn forces of the past die away. Discriminatory laws will be passed, boycotts will be made in response, and the country will continue to be sent into a frenzy every time.
Our school board made the right decision in Jan. 2014 when it recognized transgender individuals as a protected class. By doing so, our district's leaders signaled that hate has no place in modern society. Hopefully, the rest of the country will eventually follow suit, and we can all move on to more important matters.

Entrepreneurship in UBDSBE
Entrepreneurship is recognised as a key driver in Brunei's continual pursuance of diversification from reliance on the oil and gas industry. In line with the nation's aspirations, UBDSBE plays a critical role in nurturing young entrepreneurial minds, as reflected by its role in Entrepreneurship At Campus (EAC), incubation projects, entrepreneurship training programmes and the support it provides to other entrepreneurial agencies.
Entrepreneurship At Campus (EAC) is a collaborative effort between the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB), Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) and iCentre, at which UBDSBE is entrusted to spearhead. EAC aims to be the platform for student entrepreneurs from various higher learning institutions, to grow and nurture their ideas into business realities. Upon becoming members of EAC, student entrepreneurs are eligible to participate in the numerous talks, seminars and workshops held at EAC, with the support from BEDB, UBD and iCentre. Students who possess the most potential in becoming entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to be incubated at the EAC. The tasks and commitment differs between incubatees and members; rigorous training and presentations are needed to stay afloat and survive in becoming incubatees at EAC.
The role of UBDSBE is to provide technical expertise and business know how for these future entrepreneurs. At present, it is under the care of Incubation Coordinator, Adna Rahman who is also the working committee for EAC. Under the guidance of the coordinator, with the support of the Dean of UBDSBE, EAC has managed to grow further since its launch in April 2013. Entrepreneurs from international companies ranging from Alibaba.com (China), Google (Singapore) to Microsoft (Asia), as well as female entrepreneurs such as Pamela Wigglesworth (US and Singapore), had shared their experience within their respective area of expertise.
Apart from EAC, the Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation module, offered at the second year level, has also contributed to the entrepreneurial nature within UBDSBE. In this module, students are taught firstly on the art of entrepreneurship and the experiences of business start-ups, to ignite their interest. Towards the end, each student will develop a business plan exhibited at the university level. Selected bankers, venture capitalists and angel investors as well as business owners and prominent figures or speakers within the area of entrepreneurship will be invited to the exhibition. This module is only offered every January and tends to attract over 180 students.
As a whole, these entrepreneurial endeavours aims to generate and nurture future entrepreneurs who will enhance the economy further, by providing more job opportunities to others.

A picture of a character from a popular children's cartoon show has gone viral for the wrong reasons.
Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer, the popular animated kid adventurer, was photoshopped in scandalous situations. The controversial photo then circulated all over Twitter.
Many netizens have expressed their outrage over this distasteful action – as pornography depicting minors is a step towards pedophilia.
MaNiCar Diamante comments:
It is clear these kinds of photos are not only morally offensive but also illegal.
A Facebook post by 'Deep web anonymous' clarifies and stresses the ramifications in posting or sharing such vile content – citing Republic Act 9775 section 3.
Make sure you do your part in protecting children from child abuse and other forms of violence.

Take up one idea
Generic coding
All you want
Designing a website is a lot more complicated than simply producing fancy images, and directing users to links around the page. A website needs to be able to 'wow' an audience – encouraging them to read on. It may need to tell the story of a company, selling a product whilst doing so. The world wide web is a collection of amazing websites which have taken hours, days and months to design. If you are starting a new website, it can be scary and difficult to compete with some of the professional-looking ones out there. Here are 7 of our principles on web design, to help you build your site.
Make sure that your website has a purpose. Are you writing blogs and therefore providing an opinion or describing an experience? Are you trying to sell a product? Identify the website's purpose first, and keep your design focused on what you are trying to achieve.
Make your website user-friendly. Information needs to be easy to digest and understand, otherwise viewers will simply go elsewhere. Break down information into headlines, sub-headlines and bullet points to enable users to easily identify and understand the information you are communicating to them.
Load time
Nobody enjoys scrolling through the pages of a website that takes ages to load. Time is precious and people get easily frustrated if a page doesn't immediately open. You can speed up the time it takes for pages to load, by 'minifying' HTML, Javascript and CSS – compress them, to speed them up.
Mobile friendly
Technology and the internet is everywhere and has been designed to give users access to the information they need wherever they are. What might make your website stand out from the competition, is its accessibility. Make your website mobile friendly, by allowing its size to adjust to fit different screen sizes, or make a separate, specific, mobile site.
Keep colours simple: you don't want to give your readers a headache! A nice, bright layout, however, can make the text stand out and be attractive for readers to view. However, if they are too vibrant, they can create emotion (not always positive!) If you have a brand image, then you might choose to base your website's colour scheme around the brand colours. Careful consideration of colours can go a long way to making your website a success.
Once more, your brand can be effectively promoted if you position brand images cleverly on the page. In addition to photographs, consider adding videos to your website – this gives the viewer a different experience to reading and feels like they are being entertained.
Choosing the right font adds to the reading experience, and if carefully chosen, appeal to the reader's aesthetic tastes. Avoid boring fonts such as times new roman. Generally speaking, size 16 is a good size to use. Remain consistent (one or two fonts) to ensure that readers aren't put off by your content.
We Are Ready to Help You contact us now and start your project.
We're also experts at finding the sweet spot for Google's guide lines right for you.

Genre: SWAT
Pairing: Jim Street/Chris Sanchez
Teaser: They had the dog. They had the kid. But when you're in SWAT – there's no time to commit to either.
Rating: PG-13 for two bad words and sexual situations.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters. Nope. Not at all.
Notes: I had to do this. If I didn't do this, then in my screenplay, Richard and Leticia (both in my dream cast played by Collin Farrell and Michelle Rodriguez), would have fallen into bed together in the first ten pages, and frankly, having Richard running after Jax trying to get her to remember she loved him proves a lot less convincing when Michelle Rodriguez is waiting for him in bed.
Friends, don't kill me please.
"When you're SWAT, when you're on my team – you're family."
Hondo's parting statement elicited a low, throaty moan from his partner.
Sweating profusely, Jim Street let out a heavy breath as he adjusted the rifle, letting his shoulder take a brunt of the weapon's weight while his back hit the cold concrete of the wall behind him.
"You mocking the boss, Sanchez?"
She had a deceptively small body – all compact muscle, not in the least fragile. Shoving aside Deke's outstretched hand, a friendly gesture of support, she set boots against the ground and pushed up with a grimace, shouldering her weapon before glaring good-naturedly at both teammates.
"You guys are great, all right? But trust me – last thing I need is for you two to be family. I got enough of them."
Deke's lips quirked, a small glance tossed between Street and himself forcing a hesitant, "Did you get that?"
She never turned, keeping her pace steady as she tossed over her shoulder, "I'm Puerto Rican, man – I got way more family than I need."
Street couldn't resist a chuckle, looking up at his bigger teammate. "So what? You're not going to help me out?"
"Fuck you," Deke said, shaking his head before holding out a hand, pulling up Street with an easy 'oomph'. "You don't need help."
"Neither does she, but you gave it anyway." Raising an eyebrow, Street queried, "It's cause I'm male, isn't it? You a sexist?"
Deke's affectionate answer was a forceful shove into the wall.
"I tell you, man." Deke's voice was purposely low. "Women. Won't ever understand them. And I've been married ten years."
Shoving down at his wet head with the towel, Jim's distract grunt was enough to satisfy Deke.
"They have their ways, you know? Sneaking in and using their little feminine wiles?"
"Feminine wiles?"
"Feminine Wiles," he repeated, throwing the deodorant back into his locker with a clang and reaching for his shirt. "Use them to get you distracted by how they smell, how they look – next thing you know- BAM!! You're going to pick up her mother at the airport."
Jim laughed, shoulders shaking as he dropped the towel beside him. "Weren't you saying yesterday that your wife understood that a man-"
"I know! They GET to you – lull you into this false sense of security and then – "
"Bam?" Chris cut in, rounding the corner of lockers. Her smile was for both of them, but Jim held her gaze just a second longer, before Deke gave a huff.
"Don't play innocent. You know exactly what you types do."
"Reason why people say we're the stronger sex," she answered gamely.
Deke glanced down at his rippling muscles, and cursed under his breath, shoving his head into his shirt and blindly reaching for his duffel bag.
"Ya'll don't play fair. You're cheaters. You weasel in with your little ways-"
"Oh, yeah?" Chris asked, clearly enjoying this, a signature smirk on her face that made Jim smile in bemusement.
"In fact! I want my OWN LOCKER ROOM. That's right. I'm going to grab ME a curtain and just close this off –"
"I don't have my own locker room," she retorted easily. "I have the women's locker room."
"Girl, no one would have minded if you had wanted to change out here."
"OKAY," Jim interrupted, slapping a hand to Deke's shoulder before Chris could respond. "You better go pick up her mom, man."
He grumbled repeatedly, but obediently went on his way, muttering under his breath about the evils of women and their manipulative ways.
"You know it's his fault," she ventured in the silence that followed. "He didn't want her there, he shoulda said no. Been a man about it."
He smiled. "Would you have taken no as an answer?"
Her eyes had a certain glint in them when she answered with a completely straight face, "No." A small snort escaped Jim's mouth.
Chris waited, wet hair dripping on the tiles, staining the shoulders of her tight white tank top. "So... free day tomorrow- barring any more incidents involving internationally wanted criminals and hostage situations – we're gonna go to the beach. You feel like tagging along?"
He managed a strained smile, glancing at her impossibly warm eyes and seductive mouth. "No, you know I might be busy. Boxer's got that barbeque, so..."
"Sure," she answered, much more easily than his denial was, "See ya later, then."
It was a script – and she played along gamely enough, smirk hitting her lips before it disappeared against mock understanding for his unease.
Like she didn't care if he came or not.
A flick of wet hair, a parting smile, and she was gone, young and mature and unlike any other woman he had ever met.
With a yelp that was a mix between a growl and a yip, Dexter left his side, the German Shepherd digging pawfuls of sand into his bare legs.
"Traitor," he muttered, keeping his steady pace as he watched his dog streak across the beach, directly headed toward a familiar SWAT member and her little girl.
"DEXTER!" Eliza, eight, vivacious and the picture of her mother, nearly collided with the dog, falling back into the sand with a crystal laughter that was very nearly drowned out by the sound of waves crashing before them.
Slower, more subtle, was his own approach, near shame on his face as he tossed his partner a sheepish smile. Her own grin was much more broad, as if she had something on him, and maybe she did.
Her hair, dripping with sand and salt water, beaded droplets on her wet skin, dark eyes keeping his gaze as he approached.
There had been prettier women than Chris Sanchez in his bed.
But Sanchez wasn't a woman. She wasn't his girlfriend. She had never been in his bed.
She was SWAT. She was family.
It made a difference, he told himself it did, even when he looked down and discovered a belly button ring that he had never seen before.
Interestingly enough, the mapped out layout of her body in his head made the adjustment without trouble and even a little excitement.
"You made it," she said without preamble, taking the bucket of beers and setting them next to her cooler.
"Yeah, well – you were in the neighborhood, so..."
"Sure," she answered, so smug he could have strangled her had she not been Chris Sanchez.
"Eliza!" She couldn't hurtle into his arms, at the moment Chris' daughter was currently under his dog, engaged in what could have been an even wrestling match if it wasn't for Dexter's teeth.
"Mija, don't kiss him on his MOUTH!" Chris' bark of alarm even made Jim jump.
"Dogs' mouths are cleaner than people's, you know," he told her.
"I know," she chirped. "It's why I don't let her kiss you."
Chris didn't deal well with words.
That was just fine with Jim Street. He wasn't much for talking either. He lived by routine, like any stereotypical military man. Worked hard, played even harder.
The fact that Chris and her daughter became part of his routine hadn't caused much concern at first, not in his commitment phobic mind.
Chris, sexy as hell, despite her penchant for an easy flirt and her 'fuck it all' attitude, was a team member, and she had a kid. She wasn't looking to screw things up in her unit, wasn't looking for a one-night stand, wasn't looking for a boyfriend – not from him.
She wouldn't invite a guy over unless she knew he'd be around, and for Jim, that meant work buddies. Partners.
There was no danger of anything here, because Chris was SWAT. Chris was family.
She wasn't like any other girl.
He pounded into the surf, increasing his pace with a vigilant yell as suddenly small hands wrapped around his waist. A small truck hit him from behind, plowing him face first into the water with a sputter and a gulp.
He fought back, holding onto the football as tightly as he could, even as she wrapped legs around his waist and tried to wrench the ball from his grip.
"ELIZA!" he hollered, holding his head above the crashing waves before she smothered him with both breasts in his face. "Emphph!" He mumbled against her wet halter.
"Don't you help him, Eliza!" he heard above him.
"She's on my team," he managed, twisting and rolling until suddenly she was now on the bottom. "She has to help."
Eliza battled the waves, giggling and laughing as her mother tickled at his ribs mercilessly. "GRAB IT!"
She did, fingers around the ball just as her mother got another lock on him and drove his face into the sand.
SWAT worked hard, played even harder.
"Eliza!" In a second, she was off of him, pounding after her daughter.
Jim tried to follow, but too caught up in the show, as Eliza was saved by Dexter tackling Chris, he could do nothing but laugh.
Her mother was never surprised anymore when she showed up at the door and he was the one that answered it.
Her uncle, over-protective and scary as hell, told him he had a gun and then offered him a beer.
Dexter had a bag of dog food and his own water dish, after the last time that Chris had discovered him with his paws on the counter licking out of the Arrowhead dispenser.
He knew the baby-sitter by name, and drove her home every night they used her.
There was a voice in his head, a paranoid, Irish devil, who hinted at him that this was a set-up. SWAT was all about strategy, and Deke pounded at him about women and their feminine wiles and their manipulations-
Because whenever he had gotten laid, he made sure it was at the girl's house, made sure never to stay the night, made sure never to call after.
It made him a real asshole to other women, but then again Chris and Eliza were all that mattered. The last thing he needed was another incident like the one that had happened when Eliza and Chris showed up to a girl in a towel and nothing else.
It had taken a smirk and a scowl on Chris, before the girl had excused herself, leaving behind her keys, her wallet, and her bra.
"Nice," Chris had said, before hanging it up ceremoniously on his chandelier, allowing her daughter to ask plaintively, 'Mommy, how come yours are so much bigger?'
"Three, please," he told the hot dog vender, glancing back to Chris, Dexter, and Eliza, mother engaged in trying to build a sand castle, and Eliza engaged in trying to keep the dog from wrecking it. "Better make it five."
"Cute kid," the vendor quipped back, taking the twenty from Jim's hand and going to work immediately.
Jim gave a small, quick smile. " Yeah, she is."
"Don't look much like you, though."
Distracted on Chris as she shoved Dexter away from her and began dousing him with the water gun, Jim nodded slightly.
"Looks like her mom."
It took another minute for what the vendor had implied when he suddenly jerked his head back to him. "She's not my kid."
"The dog's mine. The kid's hers."
"Hmm..." The vendor said, eyes on his hot dogs.
"We're not together."
"She's cute." It was the tone that pissed Jim off. Apathetic, like the guy could care less what the hell he was doing to him.
"No mustard," he said automatically, making the vendor pause, yellow bottle poised over Chris' hot dog.
"Here you go," the vendor said, handing him five steaming hot dogs on a plastic tray. "And uh- word of advice – don't wanna look like a family, don't walk around with a girl, her kid, and a dog – don't mean to be stereotypical, but-"
"She is family," Jim snapped, and although the words felt strange in his mouth, because the strategist in him told him he had just made absolutely no sense, he still trudged away, slightly vindicated.
"Hey, Street." Boxer nodded easily, pounding on the lockers, running a little comb through his mustache like the things were still in style. "What are you doin' this Saturday?"
Jim looked up, slamming the locker door, resisting the urge to glance in the direction of Chris' own private room. "Don't know yet, man."
"You know about my barbeque, right? Rose bowl? USC kicking Michigan's ass?"
A small smile eased onto his face. "Yeah, heard something about it."
"Well, you're coming, right?" When Jim took a second, Boxer continued, "Whole SWAT's coming, you know? Invited all the boys-"
"The boys?" he interrupted.
Boxer paused, craning his head back to Chris' locker room. "And girl," he said, almost patronizingly.
"I'll probably be there, man," Jim answered with a smile. "Thanks."
"Bring beer," Boxer said, punching him lightly in the shoulder before turning away. Jim was already reaching for his shirt when Boxer was back, small smile gone, unease written on his face. "Hey, just um... just wondering."
Boxer glanced back, voice lowered, "Lara'll be there, man. She just broke up with that guy she was with, and um... she was asking about you."
The door slammed shut, out of eyesight, he heard the trudge of boots before she passed by, never once looking in his direction as she was stopped by Deke.
"Oh... Um... you know, man-"
"Hey- I know you guys had problems, okay? But, shit- you're the only guy she's slept with that I haven't wanted to kill. After a while," he amended.
"Only because I can kick your ass," Jim said, mouth breaking into a smile.
"LET'S GO, GENTLEMEN," Hondo barked, plowing into the room like a bulldozer. "And lady," he added, almost an afterthought, to Chris, who quirked an eyebrow. "We got a hard day of training – it's Boxer's first day back and we're going to WORK HIS ASS!"
"Oh, man," Boxer muttered, shaking his head. "So- Saturday?"
Again, an irrational look to Chris, who caught his gaze this time, eyes rolling in a 'work is hell and I love it' expression before following Deke out the doorway.
"Maybe. Probably... Yeah." He smiled. "Yeah, man. I'll be there."
"This is a really sucky hot dog," she commented beside him, glaring at her meat like it was rancid. "I mean, it's like these things are shit on a stick anyway, but – did he put mustard in here?!"
"Let me see?" Jim looked over. "Oh, shit, you got mine - here. Sorry."
"Don't worry about it," she grimaced. "Your dog likes mustard, right?"
"Yes, but to be fair, he also likes shit. He licks his ass on a regular basis."
"Dexter, come here, baby." The dog trotted over, licking her hand excitedly before taking the entire hot dog, gulping it down.
"So," she said, wiping her hand on Jim's shorts and leaning back on the sand. "How come you're not at Boxer's barbeque?"
He coughed slightly, swallowing down a painful lump of barely chewed hot dog before turning to her quizzical gaze. "What?"
"Well, I know why I'm not there - Rose Bowl or my kid, but you..."
"We can still make it," he said, glancing away. "If you wanna go-"
She laughed, a short chuckle. "Tried that once before - his sister and wife don't like me very much. Much rather spend it right here. I can catch the highlights on ESPN."
It was a nice way to spend it, really. Two options for a Saturday, more than he usually had - he could have been hooting and hollering and drinking beer with all the guys from SWAT who had treated him like shit for six months while he was working the cage, trading glances with an ex, who left him for reasons he STILL didn't understand, or he could be right here, chilling with a kid who adored him, his best friend ... and his dog.
"You got the big screen, right?" she asked, eyes unreadable in her sunglasses as she looked at the ocean.
He swallowed down again, gazing at her a beat longer than necessary before he broke into a small smile, a nod. "Yeah," he answered.
She turned, caught his gaze with a questioning smile.
He grinned. "Let's go."
He set up the Playstation in his bed room two weeks ago, during a small tantrum Eliza had when the Monday Night Football interrupted her avid playing of Auto Vice City.
The concessions nagged him now, because women were manipulating and avoiding, and any normal single mom would want a dad for her kid, need a man who would stick around and love the kid, and this kind of shit meant commitment.
Except Chris didn't need anyone, he knew that. That wasn't what scared him now.
What frightened him was how much was beginning to suspect he wanted to be that guy – to be the one Chris decided could share her kid's life – plan that quinceniera that wouldn't happen for another seven years.
They were SWAT. That changed all the rules.
"Fuck," Chris announced as he stepped out of his room, the small woman standing in front of his big screen with a scowl, remote idly in her hand.
"We lost?"
"We won," she answered distractedly. "But now that stupid Rose Parade shit is on. Seriously – do I care about how many thousand flowers were cut and maimed so some old person could ride down Pasadena?"
"I'm guessing, no," he answered, settling back into his couch.
"You got any DVD's?"
"Picked up Fast and the Furious a couple days ago."
"That movie is Point Break. It's Point Break," she snapped, picking up the disc and flipping it to him.
"Oww. Okay, no Fast and the Furious. Though you kinda look like that girl-" The scowl on her face warned him not to go further. "Just come here, we'll find something on satellite."
It took a pout, but within a few seconds, she was curled up next to him on the couch, shoes kicked off to reveal surprisingly dainty feet, well tended and feminine as hell.
"Nice feet."
"Shut up."
From his room, Tombraider blasted and a dog barked, sounds of a happy daughter.
She flipped idly through the channels, curling a lock of hair that escaped from her haphazard pony tale, back over her ear.
He found himself fixated on that spot, just under her ear, on her jaw. "Hey."
"I had a good time today."
She smiled, quick and easy. "Yeah, me too." Low voice, soft and throaty, almost like a purr. "I'm glad you came."
"Me too."
A warm gaze locked between them, before a faint blush tinted her cheeks, and she laughed, punching him on the shoulder and turned back to flipping channels.
"Funny thing happened today," he said suddenly, arching an arm on the couch, just above her shoulders.
"Hot dog guy – thought Eliza was my kid, you know? That we were like... a family."
Her distracted smile stilled, her gaze shifted and her eyes, fixated on his own now, grew slightly wider.
The anecdote, meant to be passed off as ridiculous and funny, felt a little too heavy now, for a quip and a smile. Instead he found himself glancing at her mouth, rounded and lush.
But she broke the spell, a nervous laugh coming out of her before she turned back to the TV. "Yeah, but you know me, man - no way in hell I'd consider any of you guys family."
The words stung, her intended purpose, he was sure, because Chris didn't need anybody. She was the strongest person he knew, and she could dump him on his ass the minute she deemed him a nuisance - a hindrance to her and her kid.
All of this was passed with rational, military thought, but it did nothing to assuage the coming fear that he was beginning to think he might need them.
"Yeah," he answered, hollow and small. Eyes turned toward the television, distracted but not processing the movements on the big screen.
When she curled into his chest, he was surprised. The warm weight spread across his body, her palm sliding over his own to pull around her waist, until she had her head on his shoulder, eyes shining brilliantly up at him.
"Thing is, Jim," she began slowly, flatly. "SWAT guys - they umm... they kinda tend to die. I'm not gonna do that to my kid. I'm not gonna bring in these guys, call them family, when I can't be sure they won't be there the next day. I'm not gonna let her deal with that."
Whoever the asshole was who ran out on her, he would have killed him then. With his bare hands, SWAT be damned.
"She can't or you can't."
"Doesn't matter."
It mattered. But Sanchez wasn't his girlfriend, she was SWAT, his partner - and according to Hondo, family.
She could hear his heart pounding in his chest, he was sure of it, and she held him tight, fingers rubbing absently over his ribs, caressing his t-shirt idly.
From the bedroom, Eliza squealed, and something tipped over, crashing to the ground. She ignored it, and he did too.
"You guys are spending the night, right?" he said finally, rubbing fingers into Chris' scalp, massaging lightly.
"Your rollaway feels like rocks," she mumbled in his shirt.
"So don't sleep on it."
"You're sleeping on it?"
"I didn't say that either."
She glanced up, catching the saucy, horny little boy grin he gave her, and she laughed, an infectious sound that made him want to kiss her senseless.
So he did. Leaning forward, his lips clung to hers, palm cupping her face reverently.
It was her soft moan that encouraged him, sliding a hand around her taut stomach to her back, bringing her closer as his mouth tilted and hers opened, allowing a wet kiss that only got hotter when she straddled his lap, grinding into his zipper.
"Oh, God," he whispered against her lips.
"Problem?" she whispered, tongue flicking out to lick his already wet lips, forehead pressed against his.
"No," he answered with the throaty laugh, arching into her with his hips, pressing his growing erection into her groin. "That's kinda the problem."
She laughed again, but Eliza squealed and reality returned with her, as awareness grew in Chris' eyes, and she smiled once more, almost sadly.
When she moved off, he grabbed her waist, bruising her with his hands, holding her in place. "We wont call it a family, okay? We'll call it whatever the hell you want, but don't take this from me."
"We're SWAT, Jim," she answered, voice aching. "What the hell happens when we both go out and one of us doesn't come back? Or we both don't come back?"
It changed the rules. SWAT changed all the rules. They had the kid. They had the dog.
They couldn't call it a family.
He didn't give a shit. Cause it was starting to sound a hell of a lot like Chris maybe needed this just a little bit.
"I don't know," he finally answered. "But we're SWAT - since when did we care about taking risks?"
She sat in his lap, legs splayed out on either side of him, breasts pressed against his chest, eyes focused completely on his.
Sweat beaded her upper lip, and her hot groin, connected against his too tight jeans, made keeping still almost impossible.
"Just don't make me call you 'bro', or some shit, allright? That'd be seriously gross."
Her lips covered his in a hungry, consuming kiss, fingers digging into the nape of his hair, hips rolling against him.
Two pagers, simultaneous, rang from their belts.
She froze, and suddenly chuckled.
"Nothing, I just - for a minute I thought IT was ringing."
He laughed, but it was cut short when she pushed off his lap and lit up her own little LCD display.
SWAT changed all the rules.
"I'll get the baby-sitter," he groaned, shifting off the couch and digging into his jeans.
"You know the number?" she asked, pausing in her surprise.
"Got it on speed dial," he answered, punching the appropriate number automatically.
It was enough to get another long, passionate kiss from her, before the baby-sitter answered, tearing him away.
"Hey, Monica, it's um... Jim. Jim Street."
Chris smiled apologetically, patting at his groin, an action that made him jump as she winked, weaving around him to go into his bedroom.
"Yeah, listen - I... umm... I'm gonna need a sitter right now. You available? For who? Eliza- Yeah, Chris's kid. Right. No, at my place - I'll give you the address. Yeah, actually - you should probably hold on to it."
Chris came from the room, fluent Spanish flowing from her lips as her daughter trailed behind her, following by a loyal big dog who seemed to think they were his pack members.
"Yeah - they're gonna be over here a lot."

I have been searching for a job in my area and have been unsuccessful in this area. I do not have a car so i rely on the Lynx system when i can afford it. What i am asking for is if anyone is willing or able to help me. The people I am living with at the moment want me out ASAP. I need a place to stay and a place where I can look for a job. I am willing to do anything I can around the house while I search for a job. I would prefer to stay here in the Orlando area if I can because I cannot afford to move anywhere but somewhere close by. I don't what to do right now and am on the verge of tears thinking about having to live on the streets. If there is anyone on my friends list who is able to help me or knows someone who could, Please I really need help right now. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:oddbunnyout:32164 wth bored and got nothing better to do 2008-10-01T21:41:59Z 2008-10-01T21:41:59Z  urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:oddbunnyout:31833 Horror 2008-09-30T19:00:00Z 2008-09-30T19:14:03Z Silence In a horror industry now defined by lame torture movies such as Hostel and Saw, I had hoped that Darabont's film might possess some elements of good old fashioned fright films: creepy music, cacophonous sound effects that makes you want to cover your ears, exciting monsters, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Yet it failed and now we find ourselves on the edge of our seats only when someone's eye is about to be gouged out or waiting for intestines to spill all over. Don't get me wrong-I admire special effects and make-up artists such as Howard Berger and Gregory Nicotero incredibly, but something is clearly wrong when all a horror movie has going for it is effects. It's not horror and it's not suspense; it's shock treatment for a jaded and numbed audience who has forgotten about the horror movies of old.

The kings of horror and suspense such as John Carpenter, Dario Argento, Wes Craven and David Cronenberg knew hot to please an audience yearning for fear without having to resort to tacky and overtly grotesque scenes. Films such as Suspiria, Opera, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, The Frighteners, Carrie, and the original The Wicker Man stand out in horror history. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre puts the remake to shame while Rob Zombie should be shunned for unmasking Michael Myers, perhaps the most infamous psychopath in horror movie history because of his mystical and mysterious nature. Even The Amityville Horror, though mediocre, is a landslide better than the remake. The 70s and 80s breathed life into horror movies and they thrived. The Exorcist, The Omen, Poltergeist, The Shining, Manhunter, Night of the Living Dead, and Rosemary's Baby are more films to add to the list of greats.

And now, what are we left with? If you scroll through a list of horror films produced over the past few years, you will come across The Ring, The Grudge, The Fog, Ghost Ship, House of 1000 Corpses, 30 Days of Night along with other disappointments. With the exception of a few quality scares, the horror industry has taken a deep plunge into a pit and it may not return anytime soon. Attempts to spark the flame under horror lovers bottoms such as the "8 Films to Die For" and the Emmy nominated Series, "Masters of Horror" have succeeded to a degree, yet they don't get as much publicity as the weaker, higher budget horrors. I know that there are plenty of independent films worthy of recognition, but they will never be released in theaters and they will never be recognized so long as Hollywood keeps producing rubbish year after year. The problem is that directors and producers feel as if they have to show more in order to get more from the audience. What happened to keeping the audience in suspense by waiting until the finale to reveal the monster or the breathtaking big murder scene? These new horror flicks are producing a chain reaction. The more creatures and blood and guts that films show, the more the audience will want to see in the future.

I don't know what the solution to this problem is or how to go about finding one. Yet the quality of horror movies is plummeting. Hollywood is sacrificing substance for shock treatment. So my advice is to go rent one of the old classics, watch it, and think about everything it contains that contemporary horror movies don't. Learn to appreciate old school techniques of horror more than graphic and unnecessary disembowelment and hope that someone in Hollywood gets the picture. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:oddbunnyout:31491 Kids Rock 2008-09-25T05:00:57Z 2008-09-25T05:00:57Z <lj-embed id="11" /> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:oddbunnyout:31366 How Long? 2008-09-17T07:36:00Z 2008-09-17T07:36:00Z  I could survive for 1 minute, 35 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor

If you're planning on traveling around Malaysia and don't want to fly everywhere, taking the train is a cheap and easy way to go.
For our week in Malaysia we stayed 2 days in Kuala Lumpur and 4 in Georgetown, 2 cities that are about 340 kilometers apart. Instead of flying, we decided to take the train from Kuala Lumpur to Penang
Even though the flight is not very expensive on Air Asia, we both wanted to experience over train travel since we don't get to do that very often. To get from Kuala Lumpur to Georgetown, we took the train from Kuala Lumpur to Penang (KL Sentral station) and then a ferry to Georgetown.
Read on to see how we booked tickets, what the trains were like and how much it cost.
Taking the train from Kuala Lumpur to Penang
All about taking the train from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. Click the section to skip to it
- Route
- Buying tickets
- The train schedule
- Coaches and Fares
- Leaving from KL Sentral
- The ride
- Ferry to Georgetown
Buying tickets
KL Sentral is the transit hub in Kuala Lumpur and you will most likely pass through it coming from the airport or when you go around the city. This is also where you will be taking the train from Kuala Lumpur to Georgetown.
To buy tickets, you can do it online at the KTM website or buy them at KL Sentral. I highly recommend going to the station a few days before your intended date of departure since seats go fast, especially on weekends. The online ticketing system opens a couple weeks or so before and you need to create an account to buy them. (On the website, click on e-ticket to sign up).
These are the stations you need to know: Sentral Kuala Lumpur and Butterworth (Penang station).
The train schedule
There are two different schedules for the trains going to Penang, one at 15:50 PM arriving at 22:20 PM called Ekspress Rakyat and one at 20:00 PM arriving at 5:25 AM the next day called Senandung Langkawi.
We decided to take the night train so we could get to Penang early in the morning which saved us one night of hotel.
Coaches and Fares
The day train has 1st and 2nd class seats called Premiere and Superior. Premiere costs 67 RM ($21) for adult and 38 RM ($12) for children. Superior costs 34 RM ($11) for adult and 21 RM ($7) for children.
The night train has 1st and 2nd class sleeper seats called Premiere and Superior. Premiere costs 80 RM (25) for the upper bed and 89 RM ($28) for the lower bed. Children costs 51 RM ($16) for upper and 60 RM ($19) for lower.
For non-sleeper seats on the night train, there are two classes, Economy and Superior. Superior adult tickets cost 34 RM ($11) and 21 RM ($7) for children. Economy class tickets are 19 RM ($6) for adults and 12 RM ($4) for children.
We chose to get the superior sleeper seats since we wanted to sleep during the train ride. For two upper bunk sleeper seats, we paid 80 RM which equaled to about $24.
Leaving from KL Sentral
Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure time and the waiting room is on the second floor right outside the KFC. You will go downstairs to board.
The ride
We settled into our top bunks, putting our small luggage cases on top with our backpacks which fit pretty well. The only thing was that the bunks are not that long so I had to curl up a bit, for taller people they would definitely need to scrunch up their legs.
Our carry on case fit perfectly so if you have something similar to that size you can put it on your bunk. Each bunk has a privacy curtain which makes sleeping much more comfortable. However they don't turn off the lights so it'd help to bring an eye mask and earplugs since we had a couple rowdy kids who stayed up pretty late.
Bunks come with a sheet and pillow and we fell asleep pretty fast after we took off. Temperature wise I was comfortable the whole trip with the sheet and a jacket.
The train workers come around and check your ticket once the train starts going so make sure you have it with you. Another thing to note is that it's not a non-stop journey to Butterworth as the train picks up people on the way and makes several stops.
Don't worry about missing yours though, one of the workers came and woke us up to let us know our stop was next. The train left on time and we arrived at Butterworth at around 5:20 AM.
Onto Georgetown
Once you arrive at the station, walk down to the left towards the exit and at the end, go up the pedestrian walkway (lots of steps) and follow that to get to the ferry terminal. One ticket costs 1.20 RM ($.40) for adults and it is free on the way back.
The ferry ride takes about 15 minutes and once you arrive at the terminal, you can walk or take a taxi or bus to get to your hotel. If you want to take the bus but are not sure which one to take, ask the information desk.
We stayed at Hotel 118 in Georgetown which was easy to get to by bus from the terminal.
Taking the train from Kuala Lumpur to Penang is a fun and cost efficient way to get around!

[Plugin: WP Simple Booking Calendar] Using SBC in sidebar
Hi there,
I'm using SBC Free version.
Initially when I installed, I received an error message the same as the post below, but I carried on and created a calendar and it didn't seem to be a problem.
I've managed to get the calendar to appear on a page, but only using the Generate Token feature. However, when I take the same snippet of code generated by that feature, and place it in the sidebar, it no longer works and simple shows the markup ([sbc title="yes"]).
Is there any way I can get it displaying in the sidebar?

France hikes taxes to meet budget targets, Italy struggles
France's Socialist government hit big business and the rich with tax hikes on Wednesday to ensure the country meets its 2017 balanced budget target as eurozone growth flags and Italy struggles.
The new government said it would raise 13.3 billion euros ($16.7 billion) in extra taxes to meet commitments -- and campaign promises -- on cutting the public deficit and help ease the "crushing" burden of the debt.
In Rome meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti were to meet to follow up an EU summit last week, presented as a breakthrough in the debt crisis and which has calmed markets.
The French cabinet approved 7.2 billion euros in tax rises and 1.5 billion euros in spending cuts this year, two days after an audit warned the government it had to find up to 43 billion euros just to meet targets through to 2013.
Next year, tax increases will bring in an extra 6.1 billion euros.
The cabinet levied more taxes on big business, oil companies, banks and high earners, balanced with the more modest spending cuts, after the government won a vote of confidence for its programme in the national assembly on Tuesday.
The plan is to cut the share of public spending from 56.2 percent of Gross Domestic Product this year to 53.4 percent in 2017.
Meanwhile in Italy, official data put the first quarter public deficit at 8.0 percent of GDP, up from 7.0 percent a year earlier, largely because of a rise in borrowing costs.
Quarterly deficit figures in Italy vary widely, partly as a result of the country's schedule of tax collection.
Italy, labouring under a massive total debt burden, aims to cut its public deficit to 1.3 percent this year from 3.9 percent in 2011, and to 0.5 percent next year.
The latest Italian data comes after Monti pushed key labour reforms through parliament just before last week's EU summit, and then got Germany to accept extra help for troubled eurozone countries.
European stock markets were little changed on Wednesday, marking time after recent sharp gains while the euro was lower as investors waited for a European Central Bank meeting on Thursday when it is widely expected to cut its key interest rate from 1.0 percent.
The French measures, attacked as a cynical about-turn by the conservative opposition given President Francois Hollande's commitment to growth, also risks upsetting the government's own supporters on the left.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault called for national "mobilisation" to fight a "crushing" and "unprecedented" debt burden, blaming the previous government for adding hugely to the national debt.
The cost of interest on the debt is now the biggest item in the budget, with Ayrault putting the figure at nearly 50 billion euros per year.
France has run deficit budgets since the 1970s.
Ayrault said the French economy would grow by 0.3 percent this year instead of 0.5 percent, and only 1.2 percent next year instead of 1.7 percent as expected when the last government drafted its budget.
France has made commitments to the European Union to reduce the budget deficit from 5.2 percent of GDP last year to 4.5 percent this year, aiming to get down to the EU limit of 3.0 percent in 2013 and balance the budget in 2017.
At Berenberg Bank, senior economist Christian Schulz termed the growth assumptions optimistic and said the government was delaying "necessary spending cuts."
He said: "None of the policies announced by the new government so far address the serious structural problems France is facing."
The country "needs a more flexible labour market and significant shrinking of the public sector to unleash the great potential of the private sector and regain lost competitiveness," he said.
On Wednesday, the latest Markit PMI surveys, key leading indicators of economic trends, pointed down, and the data for France, while steadying, was in line with a contraction of the economy in the second quarter.
Another eurozone government, a new conservative-led coalition in Greece, is to soon present its programme, under pressure from the International Monetary Fund, European Union and European Central Bank to stick to its commitments made in return for their help.
Officials from the troika are to visit Greece shortly to see if the country is making enough progress on its budget and structural reforms to warrant the release of the next slice of bailout funds under a second rescue which also involved a huge private sector debt write-down.
The head of the European Commission task force in Greece, Horst Reichenbach said that the audit, a regular progress report, "is of utmost importance."
Greece needs new funds to pay its running costs in the next month and deputy Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said: "The economic situation is critical."
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras won the recent election with a strong commitment to meet the bailout terms but Greece is expected to try to renegotiate some of the conditions.
Eurozone finance ministers are due to meet on Monday to follow up last week's EU summit with talks on the details of the accords struck which provide for unprecedented direct aid for the banks, especially in Spain and possibly Ireland.
The summit also agreed that official rescue funds would not take precedence over private investors if the question of who would be reimbursed first arose.
European sources said Wednesday that the finance ministers will most likely meet again on July 20 to finalise the aid package for the Spanish banks.

text: Dr Meger is the absolute best!!! He did such an amazing job on my breast augmentation 5 years ago that I came back to him again when I wanted to switch out my saline implants for the new silicone implants. He did scar revision for me from a previous surgeon, which turned out perfectly, better than I had hoped for! He is very honest and gives great advice, he tells you exactly what will look best for you and I have always found him to be right, even when it was not initially what I had in mind. He is detail and outcomes oriented. On a side note the new silicone implants are WONDERFUL!! They feel so natural, I recommend them to all considering it. Since my first experience with Dr Meger and his staff I was hooked. I have been coming back ever since for all of my Botox injections and Perlane fillers for my face, which has helped me stay youthful and fresh looking. Beth is the sweetest and does great chemical peels. She tailors it to your preference, as I like frequent light peels over aggressive peels. Theresa the nurse is so nice, she makes you feel comfortable with the whole process. Jovita the office manager makes the experience a pleasurable one, shes very personable, efficient and made great suggestions that I followed through with and am very glad that I did!! She also reminds you of appointments, which some doctors offices do not do, and has saved me several times as I am a bit flighty. Overall an excellent experience every time, I recommend them to all!!!!
