Orlando: A Message to Faith Defenders and Larger Implications for the LGBTQ+ Community
June 15, 2016
A reflection on the horrific events of June 12th, 2016, and the reactions to them.
Waking up to the news of the Orlando shooting on Sunday set off a chain of emotions within myself. I was shocked. I was angry. I cried. I was angry again, so on forth and so forth. The Pulse shooting has weighed very heavily on my mind since the moment I read the news, and I feel that there is so much to say about this event. This tragedy, that resulted in the deaths of 49 innocent individuals, provides commentary on so many of today's issues that narrowing it down to just one or two, as I've seen many on the internet do, does not in any way do it, or the LGBTQ+ community as a whole, justice. That being said, I am in no way claiming to cover all of these issues in this post, but I do want to reflect and share my own thoughts on this tragedy, and perhaps provide some perspective on two of the aspects that I have yet to see covered.
Two issues that aren't taking over the conversation on my Texas-driven Facebook feed, and seem to be missing from the dominant media narrative, are the actual influence of religion on this event, and what the larger implications are for the LGBTQ+ community.
On Sunday, before the detail of the shooter's ISIS pledge came to light, his father was quick to comment that his son's actions had nothing to do with religion, and instead were because he was angered by seeing two men kiss in Miami. Because that's so much better, right? But we'll get back to that.
The first part of the statement did what I saw so many others do that day: immediately defend the faith, immediately come forward to claim that these actions are not what their religion is about, which is understandable. People do not want to be associated with these types of acts of violence (in their own heads and to the greater public), and ultimately people of the Islamic faith are a marginalized minority who already have to deal with these violent stereotypes and stigmas; I can't blame them for wanting to dissociate themselves from this attack and homophobia overall. But to claim that your faith is one where an overwhelming majority of the members (whether Muslim or Christian) love, tolerate, and would never want to harm or discriminate against an LGBTQ+ person is not by any circumstance the truth, hell, it's far from it. And while claiming such may work to defend the faith, it perpetuates a bigger problem.
What other factors play into the hatred of LGBTQ+ people other than religious ones? Can you think of one reason that doesn't in one way or another root back to religion? Any argument that doesn't fall if you take away the religious aspect? I'll give you a moment.
Couldn't find one? Me neither.
Simply claiming that your faith does not hate LGBTQ+ individuals, does not address or fix the people of your faith that do. If anything it just denies and attempts to belittle their existence. And they exist. They've existed every single day before June 12th, 2016, and they will continue to exist next week when Facebook profile pictures no longer have a cute little pride flag on them. They are parents that have kicked their queer children to the streets. They are legislators who run on an anti-LGBTQ platform and vote for anti-gay legislation. They are people who last week were demonizing transgender people by pushing so-called "bathroom bills" and those who last year were sharing anti-same-sex marriage posts. They are the protesters at pride parades. They are all of these people, and so many more. And brushing them off by saying "well, they aren't a real Muslim" or "they aren't a real Christian" may make you feel better, but it doesn't actually make them any less homophobic, nor does it make their actions any less damaging.
I'm not going to get into if the religions themselves, specifically Abrahamic religions, are homophobic or not, because that's not the point here. The point is that if you are religious and claim to support the LGBTQ+ community, instead of stepping forward to defend your faith's tolerance, actually support the community. There are already a lot of people standing up to simply defend their own religion. Quite frankly, it's a lot easier. Instead, recognize that there are people in your faith who are not tolerant, who are hateful. Those people are real, and every person within this affected community is well aware of them. Recognize them, and call them out. Call them out when they say homophobic things, when they preach that homosexuals need to change, and when they encourage the election of homophobic politicians. If you want to post about your love, and your faith's love, put your actions where your post is. If you can recognize, admit, and work to change the problems within your religion and its members, it will mean and do more than any Facebook prayer ever could.
Onto the second part of the gunman's father's statement: Omar was angered by two men kissing.
What is the message being sent here? That if you show affection for your partner in public, someone might be set off and go off their rocker and resort to violence. But this is true only if you're gay of course—heterosexual PDA is still fine.
Being queer means that public displays of affection, and often just existing in public, are almost always a potential threat. LGBTQ+ individuals have to be hyper-aware of their surroundings and actions because there is always the chance that someone around you will confront you either verbally or physically.
But you know where existing while queer doesn't feel like a threat? Set, queer spaces such as gay clubs and pride events. And people fought for decades just to have a single place where they could finally feel safe, where they did not have to worry that existing while queer could potentially result in the death penalty. In one day, Sunday, this was tainted. When Omar Mateen stepped into Pulse, Orlando's largest gay club, and opened fire, it sent a message: "you're not safe here, either."
One of my first thoughts after learning about Orlando on Sunday was "great, now that this door is open, how many pride parades are going to be attacked this year?" Low and behold, also on Sunday, a man was arrested for plans to bomb and open fire on LA Pride.
While there is no evidence that the events were connected by anything more than the day and the targeted community, what does this mean for LGBTQ+ people as a whole? It means that my "almost always a potential threat" comment earlier is now transformed to "it's always a threat." It is a threat that community members must be vigilant about. It means that choosing to go to a gay club will now be a weighted decision, because queer-inclusive spaces are set targets of violence. It means that going to pride is a point of fear for many, despite being an event to display strength. It means that when queer teens come out to accepting parents, those parents will now be scared to let them be a part of their community, and so much more.
In the United States, existing while queer has always been an act of bravery. It is a matter of standing up and being who you are despite the potential consequences of things like isolation from your family, refusal of service, unemployment, beatings, and death. For many who are not a part of this community, these things are largely invisible. I hope that is part of the takeaway here: physical violence is only one of many problems the LGBTQ+ community faces, problems that were in no way solved by the marriage equality ruling. The existence of this community will continue to be an act of bravery, and I hope that is something that more people truly recognize.
The lack of religious criticism and lack of comprehensive empathy for the LGBTQ+ community were two things I overwhelmingly saw as missing in most of the posts and articles I read, but they're two of the most important. Orlando was a tragedy. LA Pride could have been. Neither event should be forgotten, and both have their own implications and damage.
Stay safe everyone.

Chess Coaching best practices
It is sad when coaches/parents put so much pressure on their chess players - specially at the scholastic level - that the kids stop enjoying this great sport of ours.
I am a chess coach, and I am looking for advice to improve and be sure that I do not fall into that temptation. I now subscribe to the Double Goal Coaching philosophy championed by the Positive Coaching Alliance. But, I would like to ask all the coaches out there for a piece of advice. What is, according to your experiece, some of chess coaching best practices?
Thank you so very much for your help!
"What is, according to your experience, some of chess coaching best practices?"
Buying clothes and dinner for the "pupil"
That is funny and, believe it or not, I have dome some of that! It was pizza, but the kids really enjoyed it.
If you throw in some wine, then I think I may need a coach
If you have a really hot assistant coach, I may need some help with my game also.
Sharing a few part-time experiences I had teaching beginners/novices at the scholastic level.
1. The minute they stop having fun, the lesson's over.
2. Owing to 1) => you have to make activities like studying/puzzles/analysis entertaining enough.
3. Try not to get too "buddy" with them either. If they don't respect you, they are less likely to listen.
With most kids who "like" chess, almost anything OTB and challenging will be fun to begin with ... but with those who are lazy and cut corners when it comes to work, you have to cleverly find incentives, both with words or micro-rewards like certificates or promises of "no homework if you can solve this" etc.
I will give a serious answer.
Some pillars of my teaching include:
Beginners need to start with 1.e4 for White, and with Black to respond with 1.e4 e5 and 1.d4 d5.
Don't create a general syllabus and teach all of your students according to it: each student has different personalities and temperaments, has different strengths and weaknesses, and needs to be coached at least somewhat differently from any other students.
Make sure your students can stop Scholar's Mate, and have an idea of what to do against 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5.
As far as endgames go, all a student needs till about 1000 USCF is K+2R, K+Q, K+R, and maybe the most basic king and pawn endings (opposition).
So, to keep the class interesting and to coach according to individual needs... how big an ideal chess class should be? I do have a Jr. Coach with me, who is 14 year-old, and we normally work with elementary school students. Last summer we had a class of 15 students, and I want to believe things were OK. Unfortunately, once school started we lost all our players to soccer.
You should be able to get them back when the soccer season is over. In fact, they may even do both if you form a chess club that meets once a week.
how big an ideal chess class should be?
Well, the smaller the better
Seriously, anything above 10-12 children requires some good skills to handle
Also important is to have a class with a relatively homogeneous level : you don't want total beginners with children who have already played for 1 year...
My experience with chess classes in school is that 10'-15' of theory on the board and 45' of OTB games of all sorts works well. A simple points system also helps to keep their attention
As for best coaching practices, there was a great thread in user _valentin_'s blog -

Supposed to marry you.
Tag: heartbroken
I wish we were taking out this mortgage for a place of our own. I wish we still spoke. I wish we still spoke of our plans to move in together. I wish you still loved me. I wish I could still feel your love. I can't feel it anymore and I've never been so cold.
Your words are sticky, dripping with gooey sugar crystals. They coat my throat, block my airways and choke my wind pipes.
I never get to eat sugar, it's bad for my teeth you say. But sometimes you force it to me and it's artificially saccharine. Like Splenda. I know it's not good for me but I still like the taste. Only it's slightly bitter.
The move
I cried myself to sleep last night beside him because I'm moving on…
without you.
The end of a chapter that tore my heart in half and left me out to bleed.
Last night
I cried myself to sleep
again last night.
in an
sea of salty tears.
If only.
What was it
What was it about me that you didn't think you could ever love as much as I loved you?
Swimming… away. Into the dark and endless sea. I want to.

The first time Chris Crary sat in the stands for a Gator football game, he was 3 years old.
After the game, he remembers running around the house, saying "I Gator."
"That's when I knew," he said. "I was going to be a Florida Gator."
Saturday night, Crary, now 18, leaned over the first row of the student section.
With blue face paint rimming his eyes and mouth and orange streaking down his cheeks, the computer engineering freshman was still in disbelief that he and his friends were standing in the front row for their first game as students.
Crary was one of 90,227 people packed into The Swamp as the Gators ushered in the Jim McElwain era of Florida football with a 61-13 win against New Mexico State University.
While the victory was sweet for McElwain, he said the support from the fans was even sweeter.
"The fans, man, were awesome," McElwain said. "They were into it. And what I liked, too, is that they were knowledgeable. They knew when to kind of get going."
McElwain gave the fans good reason to get going.
The Gators' passing game came to life, with quarterbacks Treon Harris and Will Grier combining for 381 yards and four touchdowns.
Fourteen different players caught passes, a testament that McElwain isn't afraid to spread the ball around.
The defense limited New Mexico State to just 200 yards of offense — including a 1-yard loss in the second half.
"They energized us from Gator Walk on," McElwain said of the fans. "That was a great, great crowd."
It was an almost unprecedented crowd, as well.
In 25 home games during the Will Muschamp era, attendance surpassed 90,000 just 10 times, with each occurrence coming against either Florida State University or a Southeastern Conference opponent.
The last time the Gators reached that mark in a season opener was in 2009, Tim Tebow's final year on campus.
"Over 90,000 people for their first game of the season, a non-conference game, is huge," said junior linebacker Alex Anzalone. "There's nothing like it, that's for sure."
Tickets for the game had been sold out since Thursday at 5 p.m., Mark Gajda, an assistant athletics director in ticket sales and operations, wrote in an email.
More than 20,000 of the tickets were claimed by students and their guests, Gajda said.
Students flooded UF Facebook groups in search of tickets for themselves or their friends.
After posting on Facebook, UF psychology senior Carrie Green received a message from someone selling a ticket at 3 p.m. Saturday.
She bought it for $20 at 4:30 p.m., just three hours before kickoff.
The 21-year-old said she had been to every season opener since she moved from Atlanta to Gainesville in 2012.
At her first game as a freshman, Green said she didn't know anyone. But for her last first game before graduation, she said she went with friends.
"Now it feels like home," she said.

Dogs Deserve Better, a nonprofit working to help dogs living outside, has designated Feb. 7 to 14, 2007, "Have a Heart for Chained Dogs Week." The organization has set a goal of delivering 8,000 Valentines to chained and penned dogs during its fifth annual event.
The group is raising awareness for chained and penned dogs by delivering Valentines, a brochure, and a dog treat coupon to dogs living outside throughout the United States and Canada. In 2006, the fourth annual "Have a Heart for Chained Dogs" campaign delivered upwards of 5,000 Valentines to chained or penned dogs.
"We were ecstatic last year to see an incredible response to our plea. We received a total of 5,971 Valentines from 119 different groups and individuals, along with some tremendously touching letters," Dogs Deserve Better founder Tammy S. Grimes said.
Valentines are needed at the Dogs Deserve Better headquarters in Tipton, Penn., by Feb. 7. The group is also seeking coupons for free or low-cost dog treats to include with their packets.
Valentines or coupons can be mailed to P.O. Box 23, Tipton, PA 16684. For further details, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (814) 941-7447.

Ukrainian partisans ambush Vatutin
Tuesday, February 29, 1944 www.onwar.com
Marshal Nikolai VatutinOn the Eastern Front... The commander of the Soviet 1st Ukrainian Front, Marshal Nikolai Vatutin, is ambushed by Ukrainian nationalist partisans and mortally wounded while on a motor tour with Nikita Khrushchev in the area of the Soviet 60th Army. Zhukov replaces him in command.
In Italy... German forces continue limited attacks on the Anzio beachhead; there is a heavy artillery bombardment. Poor weather prevents a full-scale effort.
From London... RAF Fighter Command is reorganized and renamed Air Defence of Great Britain.
In the Admiralty Islands... On Los Negros, 1000 men from the US 5th Cavalry Regiment (General Chase) land at Hyane Harbor. General MacArthur and Admiral Kinkaid, commanding the US 7th Fleet, are present offshore and decide to convert the landings into a full-scale occupation. Japanese counterattacks during the night are defeated.
February 29th, 1944 (TUESDAY)
UNITED KINGDOM: RAF Fighter Command is reorganized and renamed Air Defence of Great Britain.
Corvette HMS Allington Castle launched.
Submarines HMS Stygian and Virtue commissioned.
GERMANY: U-876 launched.
U-926 commissioned.
ITALY: Anzio: The Allies fend off a German attack on their right flank.

As the rain teems down on frustrated Allied troops before Cassino, a major question mark hangs over the whole of the Italian campaign. "Overlord", the invasion of Normandy, is due to take place in May. "Anvil", the diversionary landing in the south of France, is timed to coincide with the main thrust in the north.
General Alexander's chief of staff, Lt-Gen John Harding, has produced a plan - Operation Diadem - which will bring the Eighth Army from the Adriatic front to join the US 5th Army in a fullscale attack co-ordinated with a breakout from Anzio. The operation would be launched three weeks before the Normandy landings - and, it is hoped, draw off German divisions from France. "Anvil" would be abandoned under the British plan.
British chiefs of staff are enthusiastic. So, too, is Winston Churchill, desperate for what he sees as a "British" victory in Italy. The Americans are opposed. Apart from the worries about losses in Italy and the slow pace of the campaign, they favour "Anvil" as more acceptable.
The British generals, Maitland Wilson - who has been made Allied Supreme Commander Mediterranean - and Alexander, insist that no troops should be withdrawn from Italy until the breakthrough has succeeded. They want the campaign there to go through to its decisive conclusion.
The American chiefs of staff, their attention distracted by events in the Far East, have nominated General Eisenhower, a firm supporter of "Anvil", as their representative. He has reluctantly agreed to postpone the operation until July, As preparations begin for the spring offensive in Italy, lengthy cables are being exchanged between Churchill and Roosevelt.
FINLAND: Helsinki: The whole of Finland is waiting for the Diet, the Finnish parliament, to decide whether or not to agree to the Russian terms for the cessation of hostilities. These terms include territorial concessions similar to those laid down by the Russians after the "Winter War" of 1939-40, but they do not require unconditional surrender as preliminary to peace talks.
The main reasons that the Finns are not taking up the Soviet terms are the amount of reparations the Soviets are demanding ($600 million in 1938 US Dollars; economic experts consulted stated that it was impossible to pay in the schedule), and the very short time given to expel or intern the German forces from country coupled with the rapid demobilization of the Finnish Army (it was feared that the Soviets would use this as an excuse to occupy Finland)
In a secret session the Finnish parliament votes the cabinet the powers to continue the peace-feelers with the Soviet Union.
U.S.S.R.: Kiev: General Nikolai Vatutin, commander of the First Ukrainian Front and one of the Red Army's most brilliant generals, was ambushed today by partisans fighting for an independent Ukraine. It is feared that his wounds may be fatal.
Vatutin, who had played a vital role in last year's battle at Kursk and in clearing the Ukraine, was fired on as he drove with his staff to visit front-line troops. His attackers are Ukrainian nationalists who went over to the Germans in the hope that they would establish a Ukrainian state. Now they fight both Germans and Russians.
Vatutin will be sorely missed by the Red Army, It was he who, with Konev, engineered the destruction of the German pocket at Korsun. Georgi Zhukov, has taken over command of the First Ukrainian Front.
MEDITERRANEAN SEA: At 1704, motor tanker Ensis was torpedoed and damaged by U-407, while in a convoy.
INDIAN OCEAN: The unescorted MS Palma was torpedoed and sunk by U-183 about 400 miles south of Ceylon. Four crewmembers and three gunners were lost. The master, 41 crewmembers and four gunners were picked up by armed trawler HMS Balta and whaler HMS Semla and landed at Colombo on 2 March.
ADMIRALTY ISLANDS: US landings on Los Negros. Los Negros, at 2.03S 147.24E, was separated from Manus Island by a narrow body of water. Los Negros as the site of Momote Airdrome one of the major Japanese air bases in the Bismarck Sea and it's capture allows the Allies to isolate Rabaul.
Today's invasion of the Admiralty Islands by the South-West Pacific Command is the final act in breaking the barrier of the Bismarks. The isolation of the great enemy bastion of Rabaul has transformed it into a liability. With the sudden exodus of the combined fleet from Truk, Japan's outer defences are crumbling dramatically.
The Pacific War has gathered a new momentum, with MacArthur"> MacArthur poised to thrust rapidly northwards to the Philippines and the enormously powerful US Pacific Fleet, backed by a fleet "train" and many divisions of marines and infantry, set to roll through the central Pacific (as it did this month in the attacks on the Marshall Islands).
American strategists are divided on which route to take to Japan. MacArthur insists that the Allies are morally obliged to liberate the Philippines on the way to Tokyo. Admiral King wants to bypass the archipelago and invade Formosa. The US joint chiefs of staff have authorised a two-pronged drive and set the major objectives of invading Luzon, Formosa and the south China coast.
The joint chiefs believe that the central Pacific route is "strategically, logistically and tactically" better than the South-west Pacific route. However, they agree that by using both routes they will prevent the enemy from knowing where the next blow falls. In 1942 the intention had been to take Rabaul. But in 1943 MacArthur was told to bypass it. Instead of being captured at a predictably high cost in lives, it was to be isolated and neutralized.
During 1943 the Allies had advanced ever closer to Rabaul. Bouganville was invaded in November. and in December the 1st Marine Division landed at Cape Gloucester in New Britain. Rabaul had also suffered devastating air attacks.
Rabaul is now neutralized. Most of the large enemy garrison will wait in vain to die for the emperor because the Allies have no intention of making a costly frontal attack. Bypassing enemy strongpoints has become one of the war's most momentous strategic concepts.

Minesweeper HMCS Mulgrave damaged by grounding Horta, Azores. She was towed to Greenock for repairs.
Soviet General Vatutin will die of his wounds later this spring. He will be replaced by Georgi Zhukov, who will exercise Front command for the first time since 1941. I'm not sure whether Zhukov would have been given a Front command but for the death of Vatutin. By this time, Stalin has assembled a competent cadre of Front commanders in Vatutin, Rokkossovsky, Konev, Malinovsky and Tolbukhin. Cherniakovsky will be the next rising star on the scene. But of all those commanders, Vatutin was clearly the best. Stalin had a reason to assign Zhukov to Front command as a way of lessening his power and prestige. In Moscow, Zhukov is Deputy Commander of the Red Army, and #2 to Stalin in the Soviet power structure. As a Front Commander, while he still carries the title, he is in reality just one among many rival Front commanders.
If Zhukov had not been given command in the field, it would have been Nikolai Vatutin who gained the title of Conqueror of Berlin.
Amazing coincidence of conflict between the same parties 70 years ago!

Republican Claims Not "New": "Revelation" on Accountability Review Board Already Debunked by IG
WASHINGTON—Republicans are touting as a significant new revelation in their partisan report that the Accountability Review Board (ARB) was not independent because Cheryl Mills, Secretary Clinton's former chief of staff, was "selecting the ARB members" and "editing the final draft report."
The Republican report claims: "The decisions to deviate from longstanding processes raise questions about the ARB's independence, thoroughness, and therefore the fullness of their findings of accountability."
A press report today repeated this allegation:
A section of the report obtained by POLITICO says the so-called Accountability Review Board did not act independently, as it was supposed to do, and was consistently influenced by Mills. Mills, the report says, helped select members of the panel, gave at least one other State Department official permission to talk to the reviewers, oversaw the production of some documents reviewed by the board and helped edit the final report.
However, the Republican report omits the fact that in September 2013, the State Department Inspector General issued a report that the "Accountability Review Board process operates as intended—independently and without bias—to identify vulnerabilities in the Department of State's security programs."
The Inspector General also "found no reason to question the selection of previous ARB members" and noted that "many of those interviewed by the OIG team felt that the increased involvement of Department principals in the selection process would ensure that the proposed ARB membership properly reflects the background and skill sets needed, as well as the appropriate consideration of diversity."
All members of the ARB told the Inspector General that "they encountered no attempts to impede, influence, or interfere with their work at any time or on any level."
In June 2013, Ambassador Thomas Pickering explained to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that Ms. Mills did not try to influence the outcome of the report and had no editing rights:
Q: And did you, either when you met with the Secretary—well, when you met with the Secretary, did she try to influence the outcome of the ARB's findings in any way.
A: No.
Q: What about her staff Ms. Mills?
A: No.
Q: And you had said that they did not have editing rights, but that you were open to listening to their suggestions?
A: Yes, as we were with other people who reviewed the report.
The Republican report selectively quoted an email from a Managing Director who assisted with the ARB process, who wrote: "I would appreciate knowing how this ARB is going to work since it is not going in the normal way."
The Republican report omitted the explanation that the Managing Director provided during her interview with the Select Committee specifically debunking this claim.
Q: So that line about how this isn't going in the normal way didn't have anything to do with any impropriety of the ARB process?
A: Of course not. It was my –the normal, as I knew it, and what I had to do next, I was trying to be timely and, you know, thorough, in what I needed to do.
Q: Okay. So your concern was if they didn't give you the names, you couldn't meet the deadline for the Federal Registry?
A: Correct.
The Managing Director also explained that there was nothing new about the Secretary's staff getting involved to select certain Board members:
Q: So do you recall if the Nairobi/Dar es Salaam ARB operated in the same manner?
A: It's my understanding that it did, yes.
Q: Okay. Okay. And do you have any idea why that may have been the case? I believe you described the 1999 ARB and the Benghazi ARB as sort of celebrity ARBs?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you have any understanding of why that may have been the case?
A: In my opinion—and I, you know, that's all I can give you—they were such obvious tragedies, so pointed attacks on our diplomatic missions that it rose to that level, that it was all-consuming in our—you know, the Nairobi/ Dar was the State Department's 9/11, if you will. It was the first instance that we had been attacked to that degree, and it rose to the level of the Secretary's involvement.
The Managing Director also explained that these officials had "impeccable credentials":
Q: And when you talk about sort of the celebrity status, can you explain sort of what you mean by that?
A: Well, and I don't mean to be flip about it, first of all. That's probably a bad choice of words, but it's those people who have impeccable credentials, who have served overseas, who know what it's like to be under the advisory of the security professional in their day-to-day operations. It wouldn't do the Department any good to choose people who didn't have that understanding. And I think those are just chosen because of their experience.
Democrats issued their report yesterday along with all the available transcripts so the American people—and reporters—can see the underlying evidence first-hand to ensure the accuracy and integrity of our work.

text: Well here's how it goes. I just bought Attack of the Clones and watched it twice now. The first time I had full 6.1 going and it sounded pretty good. The sub worked alot and I didn't seem to get all that much for bass from my rf7's. So, thats when I decided to watch it again. This time I set my receiver to NO sub so all the bass was directed to my rf7's. OH MY GOD. Thats all I can say to describe it. These things can put out sooooo much bass its unreal. I didn't realize how much I was missing using the vtf2 as the main source of bass. Now I wonder if I actually do need a subwoofer. Is there a way to make the receiver send full bass to the mains and the sub? I had it set to large front speakers and sub on but that took bass away from the mains. No sub was an unbelievable experience. I just fell in love all over again with these speakers. They are absolutely amazing.

"Painful writing with a tedious reader"
Anyone who enjoys really tedious writing with the same words repeated over and over and by a writer who really believes in rubbing in the guilt!
Probably not.
She has a stilted way of reading that makes the bad writing sound even worse. Pauses where there shouldn't be pauses, no pauses where there should be, the wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable... that sort of thing.
I couldn't listen to more than the first few chapters, so I can't answer that question
The narrator of an audio book is essential in the listening experience. Good narrators carry the book forward and don't get in the way. This narrator highlighted the bad writing and made it doubly un-listenable.

Celebrating St. John Paul II Outdoors

text: Victor Girl Undergoes Major Craniofacial Surgery to Save Her Sight Tuesday, May 26, 2009 Tweet Tea will be at the Telethon Sunday, May 31, to share her story and celebrate her 13th birthday.Today Tea Papke is a sixth grader at Victor Intermediate with three years of experience in all-star cheerleading under her belt and a heart of gold. However, if her father hadn't happened to bend down as Tea stood up six years ago, Tea's life could have taken a completely different turn: she could have gone blind.When Tea was 5 she banged into her father's glasses and he noticed an unusual bump and grew concerned. The Papkes took Tea to a dermatologist, who opted to leave the bump alone, since it wasn't hurting Tea. A year later, she complained of an aching pain around her eyes during a first-grade eye test.The Papkes went back to the dermatologist, who recommended Tea's pediatrician, Kevin Klossner, M.D., of the Penn-Fair Pediatric Group perform a CAT scan, which combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to get clearer images of internal parts of the body. A few days later, Klossner called Amy and revealed Tea's diagnoses: fibrous dysplasia.Fibrous dysplasia is a genetic disease in which bone is progressively replaced with a softer expansible bone. This condition is extremely rare and there is no known cure. The tumor-like growth is generally benign, but locally aggressive, which means it would grow significantly if not removed. Klossner recommended the Papkes go to John Girotto, M.D., a pediatric plastic surgeon who specializes in craniofacial anomalies and Howard Silberstein, M.D., a pediatric neurosurgeon, both at Golisano Children's Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center."We figured we'd have to go out of town for a plastic surgeon and a neurosurgeon," said Amy. "Most people don't think of Golisano Children's Hospital until their child has been there."Girotto found Tea's tumor was growing inward, toward her optic nerve. Because Tea's monostotic fibrous dysplasia was only in one bone, if the surgeons removed enough around the area of the tumor, Tea would be in the clear. If it wasn't removed, however, the tumor would compress Tea's optic nerve and blind her. Girotto explained that the tumor would also continue to grow as a deformity that eventually covered Tea's entire face and that it could potentially cause brain damage. Leaving the tumor alone was no longer an option – it had to be removed.Girotto was joined by Silberstein. The doctors told the Papkes about the procedure and what to expect. Tea and her family are "delightful folks," said Girotto, but he also sympathized with what they were going through. Girotto expressed that naturally, any parents would be upset if a neurosurgeon and a plastic surgeon said their little girl had to undergo massive reconstructive surgery to remove a tumor moving toward her brain. Tea's parents did not want to worry Tea with scary details about the operation, but the first-grader was insistent. "Going through a situation like this made her grow up faster," said Amy.On April 8, 2004, the day of Tea's operation, Tea, her parents and her brother were joined by Tea's grandparents and other local family members. Tea's aunt from South Carolina also made the trip up to offer her support. Tea was given a sedative and Amy carried her daughter into the operating room. As Tea sat on the operating table with a mask over her nose, she held her mother's hand until she fell into a deep sleep.Tea underwent the day-long procedure and Girotto and Silberstein proceeded with the huge coordinated team effort while the Papkes anxiously waited with other families for their children, who were all undergoing equally nerve-racking operations. "We all comforted one another," Amy explained.Silberstein was careful to get the brain and skull out of the way while Girotto removed the tumor and reconstructed the eye socket and part of the forehead. Once the operation was over, Tea was taken to the pediatric intensive care unit, where she rested for about a week. She recovered at home for a week and then returned to school a few hours a week until she was ready to go back to full days of school.Now fully recovered, Tea has grown into a compassionate young lady. "We gave her some money for Christmas. She figured out how much money she had to give and decided to donate all of it. I explained, 'Well, you really don't have to give away all of your money," Amy chuckled. Tea has also donated her hair to "Locks of Love" twice and assists with a special needs cheerleading team at Premier Cheer, where she is a cheerleader.Tea still visits Girotto about once a year for a CAT scan to make sure there is no leftover soft tissue that could grow into a larger problem. "It's been five years and I haven't seen anything yet, so I guess we did a pretty good job," Girotto said.Amy finds a lot of comfort in having a hospital with such highly-qualified health care professionals so close to home. She explained that the Papkes often run into Silberstein at their local ice cream store in Victor and see Girotto out as well. Amy finds it amazing that with so many patients, both doctors still remember Tea by name. Tea is doing great and the Papkes have found solace in knowing that such a rich resource lies right at their door steps.Join Tea and her family for Miracle WeekendThe 13th annual Stroll for Strong Kids and 5K Run will take place 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 30, on the Wilson Quad at the University of Rochester.

After all my religious spewing this week, I just got back from golfing. Yes, I snuck out of work early to borrow Golfing Buddy K's Jewish fiancé to play nine holes at Deep Cliffs. After which, we were randomly invited by an ex-lawyer, now CPO to partake in some punch. He'd left his corporate job where we work to be CPO—Chief Parental Operator—for their twin 3 1/2 year old boys. Not very well paying, but very rewarding. And disappointing since he was cute and had potential. He was there to play night golf with his two lesbian friends who not only were from the Boston area, which automatically made us all friends because of my friend's Red Sox hat, but have 2 year old twins after being artificially inseminated by California doctors. One partner donated the eggs, the other carried the kids.
And to top it off, they are both of Irish descent and tell stories just like I do. =)
Oh, and I did get his email address. Just to play golf, I promise. They sometimes need a fourth and we all did have so much fun talking!

Blizzard Doesn't Rule Out Overwatch Nintendo Switch Version
Blizzard could consider bringing one of its most successful titles out there, the multiplayer first-person shooter Overwatch, to the Nintendo Switch. This is, at least, what game director Jeff Kaplan said, even though a few weeks ago the Irvine developer debunked such hypothesis because of the portable mode of the new console and the always online requirement.
"I'm loving the Switch! My second favorite gaming platform of all time is the 3DS. Getting OW on the Switch is very challenging for us. But we're always open minded about exploring possible platforms," Kaplan told the Reddit users on Overwatch public thread.
This is far away from a confirm of Blizzard's interest since the game director is possibly expressing his own opinion there and not the one of the company. It must be considered, though, that a few years ago it was considered impossible for them to even work on consoles, and then Diablo III came to PS3 and Xbox 360, and later Overwatch came to PS4 and Xbox One alongside the PC version.
So you definitely never know..

The best Android games of 2013
There are a lot of apps out there in the world of Android – no lessthan 700,000 of them, in fact. So searching through that lot, trying to separate the good from the bad (and indeed the ugly) can be a pretty thankless task.
Luckily, ITProPortal is here to provide a helping hand with our series of articles in which we're rounding up the top Android apps in various categories.
This is the sixth and final article in the series, and you can find the previous five instalments by following these links: The best Android utility apps, the best Android news apps, the best Android reference apps, the best Android productivity and organisation apps, and the best Android social apps of 2013.
For this last outing, we're turning from those more serious topics to the realm of entertainment, and the best Android games which are available in the Play store.
Among this line-up of must-have games you'll find big name franchises such as Angry Birds and Temple Run, but also some more obscure titles, too – such as an 8-bit style RPG by the name of Gurk. Whatever your gaming tastes, you'll find plenty to enjoy here.
Amazing Alex Free (free)
Angry Birds creator Rovio acquired this game from an indie developer, but it's been given the full-blown Rovio treatment: It features lots of short, fast, physics-based challenges that make it difficult to put down.
It's worth coughing up £0.69 for the premium version which boasts additional gameplay, especially since the first 10 levels are more like mini-tutorials.

Digital designers bask in awards success
The Christchurch digital design agency behind the "Share an Idea" campaign ended last year with a win in Microsoft's Humanising Data competition for another earthquake-related project.
Strategy design agency sister company NV Interactive won the Humanising Data competition for an app it developed for the University of Canterbury's CEISMIC project, which lets users search internet archives and data collected from the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes.
Microsoft challenged designers in the competition to create Windows 8 apps that would make data beautiful, real and fun for New Zealanders.
NV Interactive's latest award comes less than six months after its double win at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner of the Year awards for both web development and citizenship, for its work in the Share an Idea campaign for the Christchurch City Council.
The six-week campaign gave residents the chance to have their say in how they wanted their city to take shape, using Post-it notes at a community expo and online.
NV Interactive managing director Matt Pickering said winning the Humanising Data competition for its CEISMIC app was significant for the company.
NV Interactive digital strategist Will Morris said the award, coming so soon after the firm's double win at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner of the Year awards in July, was recognition of the company's unique approach to creating digital experiences.
"The Humanising Data contest was a solid opportunity for our team to engage with complex data from the CEISMIC project and turn that material into something meaningful, engaging and informative for users.
"Our experience creating the Share an Idea site was a strong foundation for us to build on with the CEISMIC app, and to be recognised with another award is a wonderful way to end a stellar year."
The CEISMIC app was praised by Microsoft judges for being easy to use, visually stunning and informative.
Judges were impressed with the depth of data that could be accessed through CEISMIC, which included a combination of video, photography, audio and documents relating to the earthquakes.

WWII, Boeing, Executive Order 9066, 50's Headlines, 1962 World's Fair 1941-1962
WWII In the late 1930's the American economy was improving and the worst of the Great Depression was over, but there was trouble in other parts of the world. Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany, believed that the Germans were a superior race. Hitler set out to conquer Europe and to cleanse it of what he called inferior peoples—especially Jewish people.
America Enters WWII Surprise Attack on Pearl Harbor Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, was a beautiful one at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Many Navy ships were docked. Suddenly, wave after wave of Japanese fighter planes dropped bombs on US ships.
William Boeing Boeing had been fascinated with flight since January 1910, when he attended the first U.S. air races in Los Angeles. In Seattle, William Boeing and Conrad Westervelt built their first plane, the "B&W" in 1916. They formed the Pacific Aero-Products Co. in 1916, which later become The Boeing Company.
Boeing The Boeing Company used aluminum to make airplanes. Just in case enemy planes flew over the area, Boeing's plant was disguised to look like a residential neighborhood. Using paint and wire, buildings were made to look like homes with trees in the yards.
Boeing At the peak of production, the Seattle plant produced sixteen B- 17s every day. The B-17 was the main weapon in the air war against Germany. At its Renton plant, Boeing began work on the larger B-29. The B-29 "superfortress" was the most advanced bomber of its time. It was used in the air war against Japan. By mid-1945, six new B-29s rolled out of the plant every day.
Boeing Boeing employed 50,000 people by the end of the war. Nearly half of them were women. By the end of the war, Boeing had built nearly seven thousand B-17s and more than one thousand B- 29s. Boeing sales were ten times the income of all other Seattle industries combined.
Roosevelt asks Congress to Declare War on Japan December 8, 1941 US joins the Allied Forces (France, Britain, USSR) Fighting against Axis Powers (Italy, Germany, Japan) Big 3 – Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill
Relocation of Japanese Americans The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor produced an irrational, almost hysterical, fear of Japanese invasion. Some people thought that Japanese Americans might give aid to Japan or secretly try to destroy American companies. Without any evidence to support their decision, government leaders decided to classify anyone of Japanese ancestry as a security risk.
Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 On March 2, 1942, all persons of Japanese descent living on the West Coast were given relocation orders. Many lost their property or were forced to sell at low prices. They were removed from coastal areas, including Washington.
Executive Order 9066 Bainbridge Island's Japanese American residents become the first to be interned under Executive Order 9066 on March 30, 1942. Bainbridge Island High School pupils cut classes to bid farewell to their Japanese American classmates, March 1942
Questions to Consider – Why was Bainbridge Island the first place to inter Japanese-Americans? – To where were the Japanese-Americans moved after Bainbridge Island? – What happened to their homes and belongings? – What was camp like?
Possible Scrapbook Entry Pretend that you have received a letter from a Japanese-American friend of yours who was taken to a camp. What would that letter have said?
Little Rock 9 Nine African-American students involved in the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School. September, 1957 sparked a nationwide crisis Arkansas governor Orval Faubus defied a federal court order Called out the Arkansas National Guard to prevent the Nine from entering school President Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the National Guard and sent units of the U.S. Army's 101 st Airborne Division to escort the Nine into the school on September 25, 1957. The military presence remained for the duration of the school year.
Headlines of the 1950s - Sputnik History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. It marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race.
Possible Scrapbook Entry -Cut and paste several headlines from the 1950s in your scrapbook. -Include your reaction to the events.

Century 21 – 4 more Themed Areas The World of Tomorrow The World of Commerce and Industry The World of Art The World of Entertainment
Question to Consider Why did Seattle have another World's Fair?

Every iPhone toting iPhoner at some stage complains about the life of the iPhone battery, but there are things the iPhoner can do to conserve battery life and the Examiner has come up with a few ways.
The main drain on iPhone battery life is push notification; more so email accounts that are set to push. So setting your email to fetch from a server rather than be pushed will conserve that battery life.
Although iPhone OS 3.0 delivers push notification, many other applications are utilising push and can also go towards draining that battery so disable push on any application you don?t really need it to work on.
Turn off that WiFi or 3G when you don?t need it also turn off the Bluetooth and GPS as they all drain the battery even when not being used. Adjust brightness and turn off auto-brightness as this too with conserve power.
