For more than 30 years, La Jollans could pass by the ivy-covered brick structure at the corner of Kline Street and Ivanhoe Avenue and only wonder at its storied contents. The Copley family, owners of the former Copley Library, kept its collections shrouded in mystery, open only to screened select scholars with appropriate academic credentials.
That has now changed, along with the name, ownership and nature of the library's holdings. The renamed Kinsella Library houses a growing ensemble of about 170 California plein aire paintings, Jersey Boys memorabilia and other art, replacing the 2,000-item Copley collection of rare Americana.
David C. Copley, former owner of the then-named San Diego Union-Tribune and Copley Newspapers, shipped his late father's treasure trove of Americana to Sotheby's for auction in New York and put the Copley Library up for sale in 2009, just about the time that La Jolla venture capitalist Kevin Kinsella decided to purchase new quarters for his firm, Avalon Ventures.
Kinsella, 66, a tall, friendly man with a ready grin and a shock of hair topped by a Jersey Boys baseball cap, arrived in La Jolla in 1978. He had followed up his MIT undergraduate education in Cambridge, Mass., with further studies and adventures around the globe and had long been fascinated by the Copley Library.
"The ivy-covered red brick always made it seem that it was airlifted and dropped from Harvard Yard. Unfortunately the Copleys weren't too friendly about letting random strangers like myself poke their heads in for a look-about – I tried it once. (I) was told I needed a Ph.D. in American Studies and had to fill out a long application form to use their collections," Kinsella said.
Having wanted to see inside the library since it opened about 1981, he "jumped at the chance to see it… It was a fascinating building – large main reading room, exhibit galleries, a 36-person seat theater in the basement, full catering kitchen, cold storage for historical documents, but it was dark and foreboding," he explained.
After purchasing the building for a reported $3.75 million, Kinsella engaged architect Trip Bennett, AIA, and Grunow Construction to remodel and update the building, bringing in more light by adding two French doors and windows that matched the existing structure. Modern wiring, WiFi, CATV 5 and energy-efficient lighting completed the library's transformation into attractive, functional office space with inviting, museum-quality exhibition galleries, yet preserved the building's character.
Subsequently the Copleys' architect, Robert Mosher, and Tom Grunow presented Kinsella with a set of the library's original late 1970s drawings, which called for the extra French doors on the Kline Street front that Kinsella installed 30 years later.
The Kinsella Library's foyer retains the four murals the Copleys commissioned from San Diego County painter Richard Gabriel Chase to commemorate scenes from Abraham Lincoln's life. The Copleys recovered the entry's brick flooring from the now-demolished railroad platform in Springfield, Ill., from which Lincoln left for Washington to take the presidential oath of office in 1861. James Copley had owned a Springfield newspaper.
Although Kinsella offered to form a non-profit corporation to receive and preserve the Copley collection of Revolutionary War, presidential and other rare documents, letters, manuscripts and other Americana, David Copley declined. The Copley collection fetched about $11 million in four auctions. Kinsella purchased a few pieces to keep at his new library, including an early printing press and several posters promoting the San Diego's 1915 Panama-California Exposition.
The heart of the Kinsella Library's collection is its California plein aire paintings, ranked among the top three collections in the nation and exhibited on three levels. Well-represented are works by Edgar Payne, Guy Rose, Charles Reiffel, William Wendt, Maurice Braun, Alfred Mitchell, Carolus Verhearen and Arthur Rider. Kinsella, a member of the board of trustees of the San Diego Museum of Art with a keen eye for art, acts as his own agent in selecting his acquisitions.
Scattered throughout the library are whimsical mosaic works by local pop artist Jean Wells Hamerslag. Prominent in the galleried main reading room is Hamerslag's eye-candy sculpture "Mini Moosaic," an ice cream cone with a Jersey cow sundae "topping," as well as her "largest paint brush" mosaic.
The reading room also hosts dueling grand pianos, including the cherry-red, gold-signed piano Elton John used for his Southern California tours, which Kinsella bought from John, paired with the black Mark IV Disclavier Yamaha Concert Grand Piano ordered for the room. In another corner sits the largest book in the world, a book of photographs of the kingdom of Bhutan created by Michael Hawley.
Tucked into the library's lower level is a 9,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine storage vault and tasting room, adorned with a cork-lined arch and wall of prestigious wine box end-cases, which Kinsella uses for special tastings related to his highly-rated Kinsella Estate wines.
Nearby is the 36-seat theatre with its 103-inch flat panel display, where Kinsella hosts Oscar screenings.
Kinsella's collection of Jersey Boys memorabilia rests in a special upper-level gallery. The megahit musical, the 10th most profitable in Broadway history, originated at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2004. Kinsella and his wife Tamara were the single largest investors in the musical, which garnered Tony Awards on Broadway plus international raves. The awards, platinum and gold records from the musical's recordings, costumes, programs, posters and other Jersey Boys memorabilia are on display.
Mamie Graham, Kinsella's executive assistant, handles tour scheduling for the library and leads many herself. She recommends requesting a tour at least several days in advance, with maximum groups of 10. Tours are by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. and can be booked through the website at kinsellalibrary.com, or by calling 858-348-2170.
The Kinsella Library is located at 1134 Kline St. at the corner of Ivanhoe Ave.

Dawson Springs Man Injured in a Collision on I-69
Date of News Release: 11/01/2012
Dawson Springs, KY. (Hopkins County) - The Kentucky State Police investigated a single-vehicle injury collision that occurred on Interstate 69, approximately six miles east of Dawson Springs (30 mile-marker), on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 10:58 p.m.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Raymond S. Sherrill, age 41 of Dawson Springs, KY, was operating a 2003 Pontiac Aztek southbound on I-69 when he lost control of the vehicle while attempting to avoid a deer that had entered the roadway. The vehicle traveled into the median where it overturned onto its passenger side.
Mr. Sherrill and his passengers, Sherrie Jones, age 35, and Alex Sherrill, age 14, both of Dawson Springs, KY, were transported via ambulance to the Regional Medical Center for treatment. All occupants were wearing seatbelts.
Trooper Jonathan Murphy conducted the investigation. The Hopkins County Sheriffs Department and Medical Center Ambulance Service assisted at the scene.

Richfield rolled through Class 2A's Region 2, and nobody else even had a chance. The Wildcats cruised to an 8-0 region record and were ranked No. 1 in 2A for most of the season.
The junior-laden team was a force to be reckoned with, and that likely will be the case again next year for one reason — junior forward Megan Bean.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Bean performed well in her freshman and sophomore years, but she rose to new heights as a junior, which is why she's The Tribune's 2A MVP.
"The biggest difference this year was my confidence," Bean said. "I was much more experienced, so that made it easier to jell with my teammates and see things better. I was more comfortable."
Richfield's opponents were anything but comfortable when they had to match up against the star post player. Bean led 2A in scoring with 15.9 points per game.
She was second in rebounds, with 7.7 per game. Make no mistake, though — Bean doesn't just camp out in the key and hope for the ball. She makes things happen everywhere on the floor.
"What impresses me the most about her game is her quickness. She is as quick as most teams' guards," Richfield coach Marc Peterson said. "She can get a rebound and run it all the way down the court for a layup on the other end."
What's scary is that Bean still has another year to elevate her game. With her headlining a stout senior class next season, Richfield should contend for a state championship.
"Every season, she gets better in every facet of the game," Peterson said. "The season just ended, but she is already asking me what she needs to do to become a better player."

Nashville, TN – The Jacksonville Jaguars came to LP Field looking for their first win of the season and they got it beating the Tennessee Titans Sunday 29-27. It was a bad omen for the Titans when Chris Johnson fumbled the ball on the first play of the game. Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny recovered the ball at the Tennessee 19.
Jacksonville would then run Maurice Jones-Drew three times in a row. On his third carry, Jones-Drew ran off left guard for 6 yards and the score. The Jaguars never looked back.

Another abduction attempt, this time in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa.
Police say on September 26th and eight-year-old girl was approached by a stranger near the elementary school, and asked to get into his van. Authorities say the girl waited a couple of days to tell her parents.
The suspect is described as a dark brown skinned man in his late 30's with black hair. He spoke with an accent and had words tattooed on both arms. The girl told police he also had a piercing above his left eyebrow.
Authorities say he drove a white minivan with two horizontal black stripes down the side and a large star design from the top of the rear window to the bottom rear end gate.
If you see a van or man matching this description call 279-6510.
The Sergeant Bluff Police Department also reminds parents to talk to their children about what to do when approached by a stranger.
Half-a-dozen attempted abduction reports have come in to Northwest Iowa agencies in recent weeks in Northwest Iowa.

Universal Leg System Transforms Old Materials into Furniture
DIY furniture just got easier. The Tick universal leg system by Jakob Schenk is a bent metal wire structure that can be easily attached to any material of your choosing to turn it into a unique eco and budget friendly piece of furniture.
From the designer:
"Tick wants to encourage you to search for old board materials in order to reintegrate them into daily life. This is not just a pleasure for the board, but also for the environment and last but not least for the users, as they have a unique piece of furniture in their flats."
"TICK is a universal table leg system which can be applied to a variety of board materials {..reclaimed plywood!...} allowing you the space for individuality and creativity. A bent metal wire structure, similar to a over-dimensional paper clip, clamps to any board and transforms it within a few seconds into a unique table without the use of skrews and tools."

I love this.
Put a leg on it...
I've had this product bookmarked for more than a year, waiting for the time when I can buy it and get it shipped to Canada. It is SO COOL! I'd love to have a pair of these legs and a couple of table-sized boards stored behind the sofa to pull out when we need a dining room table (we don't have a dining room!). Someday....
I keep throwing money at my screen, but nothing is happening!
How, where, when can I buy this?!
friggin brilliant
Are they available in North America or just Europe? These are brilliant!
This is awesome, but is there an extra large for an outdoor table for twelve-fourteen?
genius! I want to make a triangular table with three of them!
please tell us when this is available!
Go here for more info... http://www.linie58.de/index.php/en/
love it
This is definitely SHUT-UP-AND-TAKE-MY-MONEY territory.
So freaking awesome. Wish I'd invented it first!
Great, if you live in Germany.
It's the paperclip of table legs!
Hurra for German engineering!
I need this.
Oooh, I love this design!
At $102 for a pair, these are cray-cray expensive. You could buy a cart full of table legs from IKEA or Lowes for that amount.
this makes me happy to live in Europe..!
these are cool, but $200 for a set of four? vintage hairpin legs are a lot cheaper and it takes two minutes to screw them onto something
Very cool but wayyyy expensive. I mean get 4 stainless steel 28" hairpin lalegs for a grand total $120 + shipping. You just need a cheap drill an some screws :)
can't wait to get a pair of these! (or 2!)
@amandabroun your comment was so great i almost wet myself from laughing! In other news, pretty awesome idea and opens a lot of possibilities
I contacted Jakob (the designer in Germany) about these and he emailed me back that he is still trying to find a way to sell these in the USA. I hope he does so soon as I would LOVE a pair!
I think they take away from the table tops which I think should be the true star of the show, but I will say it's a cool attempt to eliminate using screws to secure legs. I could see it as a funky plant stand or garden side table. I prefer something sturdier like real hairpin legs. I think you would be limited on the thickness of table top these would work with? All of the tops in the photos look to be fairly thin.

TEAMS: Orlando Magic
TEAMS: Orlando Magic
Arron Afflalo won't play Monday after straining his calf on Sunday. The Orlando Magic shooting guard played 26 minutes before leaving Sunday's game. Magic beat writer Joshua Robbins reported that Afflalo would sit. The Magic have activated Hedo Turkoglu. Moe Harkless will get the start. The guy that I like here is E'Twaun Moore, who scored 18 points in 29 minutes on Sunday. Moore also hit a three, grabbed a rebound, dished three assists and stole two balls. Arron Afflalo (left calf) will not play when the #Magic play the #Nets tonight, Jacque Vaughn said. — Josh Robbins (@JoshuaBRobbins) January 28, 2013 Maurice Harkless will start at small forward in Arron Afflalo's place. Nelson, Redick, Davis and Vucevic are also starting. — Josh Robbins (@JoshuaBRobbins) January 28, 2013 Photo via Arron Afflalo's Facebook.

DarkWalker, I've been arguing for a while now that there needs to be a single-player training dungeon where you learn your role with a group of four bots. You would be given frequent breathers with suggestions and perhaps even opportunities to rearrange your talents without penalty and try out training equipment, enchants, gems, etc, that would disappear at the end of the session but perhaps you'd be given quests so you could go out and find real versions of them.
If something like this had existed 5 years ago I wouldn't have given up on my main in frustration because I couldn't understand why my holy-specced pally took so long to kill things. (And he was holy only because it was the first tab, I knew from previous games just how important being able to heal yourself is, and I figured I'd eventually have enough points to fill up the remaining two tabs.)

MAKING IT NEW: Local Use of a National Curriculum/Courseware Package
Full Description:
A national multi-media curriculum and courseware package with web resources
Funded by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation
During the past year, Contemporary Learning Systems has begun development of a curriculum of study on the topic of innovation and enrepreneurship. The project was inspired by the appearance of Harold Evans' book, THEY MADE AMERICA: From the Steam Engine to the Search Engine, Two Centuries of Innovators (Little, Brown, 2004) and the American Experience television series it inspired (shown on public TV stations nationally in 2004-2005).
There are 13 units in the proposed course clustered into five broad areas of innovation that transformed America. These course modules are: Power and Light, Information, Production and Consumption, Services and Social Entrepreneurship. The courseware package includes:
· the Evans book with profiles of 72 American innovators;
· 10 video episodes of approximately 20 minutes, each embedded with web resources and featuring new segments with Mr. Evans;
· an electronic book of readings and an electronic student study guide;
· a web-based faculty guide; a course website with an interactive component so that students and faculty can connect with course designers, including Mr. Evans and the academic team of advisors.
The course elements have been designed for an introductory course on innovation to be taught independently in a variety of disciplines (e.g. History, American Culture and Civilization, Business, Science, Technology and Society, etc.) or used separately as modules to enhance existing courses.
At the NACCE session, project directors will introduce all course elements for two pilot units - one on Steam and one on Computers - and discuss distribution plans for fall 2009. Attendees will be asked for their comments on the materials.

Jarlshof: looking down into a round house | The archaeological site at Jarlshof represents over 4,000 years of continual human habitation. The earliest remains are of Bronze Age buildings from around 2500-2000 BC; Iron Age round houses date from between 200 BC and AD 800; a Viking settlement from the 9th to 14th centuries stands towards the eastern side of the site; and finally the castle, the Laird's House, stands in the centre of the site and was converted from a medieval farmhouse to a fortified residence in the 1500s.

At the National Press Club in Washington this afternoon, former Vice President Dick Cheney appeared to endorse the concept of gay marriage.
This from the Chicago Tribune's The Swamp:
"I think that freedom means freedom for everyone," Cheney replied. "As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay, and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family.
"I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish — any kind of arrangement they wish," Cheney said. "The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don't support. I do believe that, historically, the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue, and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis…
"But I don't have any problem with that," he said of the same-sex marriages that most of the states in New England, Iowa and the District of Columbia have authorized. "People ought to get a shot at that."
As Andrew Sullivan, a gay and (somewhat) conservative blogger noted: "This makes him more supportive of full marriage equality than Barack Obama."

The issue of marriage is like so many other issues…It belongs with the state (see the 10th amendment). It should be sooner rather than later that same sex marriage should be allowed. But I am a white, male, conservative, southern Republican so what do I know.

Dick then added, "You know me – I'm for anyone getting a shot at another."

This is just a political ploy by Cheney to attack the current administration. He could give a flying flip about gay marriages. And by the way, we have heard and seen more of Cheney lately as oppose to when he was in office the last eight years. What's up with that……..

Man…Cheney has had the adulation of the religious right, Bible thumpers and the fundamentalists up to now. It is going to be interesting to hear them turn on him after he's made these comments about gay marriage. As far as allowing the States to determine individual freedoms, in 2009 we'd still have segregation and discrimination against minorities in many areas of our society if the federal courts had not interceded.

Gays should have just as much of a right as us "breeders" to be miserable in marriage. Besides, the tax penalties from them being married could reap more tax revenue!

Laws are in place to determine who can enter into a marriage (such as to prevent children from being forced into marriage) but the government has no right to say who one may choose to marry. For the government to place limitations on gender is no different than limitations on race. If there was a movement to prohibit mixed race marriages, there would be a great outcry. Why is there not more of an outcry on the limitation due to gender?
If you are against same-sex marriage, you have the right to act on your beliefs/opinions. But only as far as your own marriage is concerned. You have no right to decide who someone else may or may not marry.

I love his choice of words, "had to live with it". What is wrong with this man, talking about a daughter this way? Thank the Lord he had a gay daughter or we would have got a real dose of hate from the most unpopular man ever to serve in a national office in this country, but swears he is misunderstood. Haters are like a bunch of ex alcoholics looking for an excuse to drink. Lets see we can't publicly berate women, or race or religion but through great compromise and negotiation they have left open hating gays and illegal immigrants. We need to hurry before all the fun is gone. And how a religious person saddles up to this is beyond explanation.

Dick Cheney's daughter is lesbian and in a long-term relationship, for those who didn't know it. Obviously, those who voted for him as VP did not realize that Republican families also have homosexual children. Oh, Lord! Did I just spill the beans?! As much as I dislike Bush Jr., he's not an anti-gay zealot like some Republicans…and I repeat, SOME.
June 1st, 2009

VP Cheney has supported gay marriage for years. He and his daughter (who did outreach to the gay community during the 2000 campaign) have supported gay marriage initiatives since the first Bush Administration. Cheney never made a huge point of it because President Bush did not support it and VP Cheney always noted that "President Bush is the President, not me."

Hey Y'all:
The question i have for everyone is "HOW DID SODOM AND GOMARRAH BECOME SODOM AND GOMORRAH??" Again, "HOW DID SODOM AND GOMORRAH BECOME SODOM AND GOMORRAH????".
Sodom and Gomorrah became Sodom and Gomorrah because of "false prophets", "devils in the pulpit", and "sensitive politicians" and others, who for some reason or another (THE DEVIL) sucumming to "GAY RIGHTS". The GAY moral, political, and social conditions in Sodom and Gomorrah became so rude, reckless and abohorant that the "GAY MEN" wanted to "HAVE SEX" with God's "ANGELS". THEY WERE ARROGANT AND REBELLED AGAINST GOD AND HIS COMMANDMENTS FOR THEIR SEXUAL DEVIANT BEHAVIOR. These "GAYS" refused Lot's offer for his daughters; however, they were so arrogant in their belief in their "HOMSEXUALITY" life style that was strong and prevalent in that city/country. Somehow their deviant bechavior superseded "HETEROSEXUAL FAMILY and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS" in that city/country. We know what happened in the end: The LORD OUR GOD "DESTROYED" that country/city because Lot could not find "ONE" righteous person in it.
Currently, our country is followong the path of Sodom and Gommorah. Homosexuals appear to have erganized to a point were they are convincing our politicians (like Dick Cheney), through radio, t.v., alike, that their lifesyle is O.K. and will not harm anyhting. They want same sex marriages and the abilty to adopt innocent children into their life style. What do you think this is going to do to children who have not yet grown into their sexual identity?? These gays will be breeding more gays and confused youths who will think like them and in the future become a force in our society just like the society of Sodom and Gomorrah. THIS IS THEIR GAME PLAN. This political, social movement has to "CEASE!!" WE IN THE HETEROSEXUAL COMMUNITY MUST FIGHT BACK BY ANY MEANS NECCESSARY. We must stop this movement by voting and not be afraid to say "ENOUGH OS ENOUGH!!"This movement will only cease by strong righteous, religous individuals and organization, and their friends, making a religious stand, in the name of God, to prevent the end result of such a movement suceeding, as told in the Bible through the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, of what will happen in the long term to our current society by giving up too much concessions to a "deviant behavior" entitled "GAY RIGHTS". They claim they have money to broadcast their assertions, which they are doing, I say we have more money to start fighting back against this movement to save ourselves, our country, and our children. WE ARE THE "SILENT" MAJORITY. I say lets become a "LOUD MAJORITY" for our childrens sake.
Let's pray that Gays "REPENT" and return to the fold of "JESUS CHRIST" our "Lord and Savior".
But until then "WE MUST BECOME THE LOUD MAJORITY"!!!
May God Bless Us All in this ENDEAVOR.

Given his terminology used of "shot at," are we sure he wasn't speaking to an NRA convention on regarding the people involved in this particular topic ?
If that is the case, could we please include Vick Supporters in that arena as well, most of which males are open to such marriages in the first place?

Marriage is decided at the state level, but the benefits are granted at the federal level when a man and a woman are married. Examples – spousal rights to Social Security benefits upon death; right to make decisions for incapacitated spouse; taxation benefits for married people.
If you want this to be equal, then take away all the federal benefits and let each state decide which benefits are to be given with their definition of "marriage". Otherwise, I want my federal benefits and I don't care what you call the piece of parchment that entitles me and amy significant other to those benefits.

If there was EVER a comment designed to sway opinion AWAY from what you want… it' Barry's comment. Dude. You are one mentally challenged human being. Your rant is so full of lies and distortions that is is truly delusional. You have cherry picked the bible to death, rewritten the true text on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ezekiel 16:49-50:
"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good."
What reasons does this passage give about Sodom? They were proud and arrogant. They had fulness of bread, in other words they were self-indulgent. Abundance of idleness – they were lazy. They assumed NO responsibility for poor people, they had no social conscience. They were haughty – "stuck-up" with an attitude of superiority, arrogant. They committed "abomination" before God ("to'ebah," something disgusting, especially idolatry.) Abomination included such things as eating shrimp or catfish, and having sex while the wife was having her period. A disobedient child was an abomination to God and was supposed to be stoned to death. The list goes on forever.
Show us where int eh bible homosexuality is linked to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It was destroyed because the people had turned away from God and the true meaning of his word. Hmmmm sounds like some people on this discussion board.

It is all too easy for so many Americans to connect their Christian faith to their politics. That is exactly why the US will fail in our lifetime. One should be able to distinguish between the two. Unfortunately, we are doomed to fail because their is no more unity…we all live in seperate little pockets…most do not even know their neighbors. "Ya'll" need to have a drink, get laid every once in a while and chill out, while at the same time saluting the flag. Yes, it is possible, IF YOU WANT IT.

OOH BOY…finally a spot to beat my tin drum where I don't have to stretch to work it in!
Coastal Cavalier:
"But I am a white, male, conservative, southern Republican so what do I know."
Obviously a lot more than the hypocrite Obama. And thank you. I've said all along that we've got a lot more friends among "your people" than my fellow non WASP (but as Southern as they come!) liberal peers can admit given their generally narrow range of experiences. I know. I've been priviledged to have known many.
ADITTOHEAD–Duh, we're gay, not sterile! And FYI, my partner of 35 years (foresaking all others!) and I brought to responsible and productive adulthood three somewhat disturbingly normal kids. Without belaboring the details which, non purient, would not interest you, the two boys are his nephews left orphaned and the girl was "saved" when her mom chose not to abort because of her beliefs.
Name Required: Heh, heh. Over Memorial Day one of our relatives not known for his liberal views came out in support of gay marriage. His rationale, and I do believe he was serious, was "y'all've been gay long enough. It's time you get your equal share of misery!"
MYA–Thanks, great job! Much appreciated.

Virtually all children go through a latency stage during which they prefer friends of their own gender and generally think that the other gender has cooties. During that stage it is not uncommon for kids to ask parents whether girls can marry girls and boys can marry boys. From time immemorial in every human civilization, the simple answer has been "no."
Curiosity satisfied, 95% to 98% of kids then mature into a normal heterosexual orientation. If the answer to tender children at an impressionable age were "yes" they would be prime targets for recruiting – direct indirect — by homosexuals. The effect of such social experimentation on our already vulnerable civilization is incalculable.
I say accommodate the frailty of humanity by legalizing civil unions with most of the right associated with marriage, but do not call it marriage. Let parents continue to honestly answer "no" when their children ask that question.
June 1st, 2009
6:15 pm
In response to Barry, religious freedom and payment of sin should be an individuals choice. Isn't that how America got started in the first place – religious freedom? One should not FORCE their religious beliefs on others. If gays choose to be married, they should be allowed to be married and miserable like the rest of us married people. America is so hypocritical. The constitution specifically guarantees separation between church and state yet anti-gay marriage supporters say gays shouldnt be allowed to marry due to "religious" reasons. Everything should be an individual choice. Gays marrying is not like murder. If gays can't marry than those heterosexual white men should not be allowed to perform rectum intercourse with their wives, or the mistresses or lovers they go see while cheating on their wives.

June 1st, 2009
6:50 pm
Lowell–oy, Mate, first off it's 10% (15% among the Irish and Sephardic Jews–only the males, the females still get their 10%. ) Secondly using your line of logic then heterosexuals are equally prone to recruit. Finally, don't go giving me the "civil union" two step. When everybody has to go to the Civil Union Bureau to take out a Civil Union License, I'll go for it.
REAL Republican–save me your regional bias and bigotries. The Northwest? Went to college up there. We had to come home. Never had I experienced such blatant anti-Semitism and never hadt my Better Half experienced such anti-Indian (oops, Native American) hostility.
GT–that phrase hit me the wrong way at first, too, a sort of knee jerk reaction. Then I had to think about it. I realized that I say it, too. I've "had to" live with being gay. It's what I am. I've "had to" listen to all matter of folks who didn't have the vaguest notion of what they were talking about, or that they were talking to one. I've "had to" keep from strangling the Obamaniacs who just can't understand why I loathe he who comes spouting support of Prop 8 because of his "faith," who trots out that hate monger preacher Warren to "bless" his administration and who refuses to rescind don't ask, don't tell. Then I've "had to" deal with their mealy-mouthed "it's not the right time, just wait…" Well, then, it certainly wasn't in Cheney's political best interest. Go back to the top and read Coastal Cavalier. Go find out what Bob Barr said in recanting his error when it certainly wasn't in his best interest to do so.
I'm a lifelong and proud liberal in matters of public policy, but fact is, the better deal is coming from the conservatives. I feel somewhat like Chief John Ross when he begged audience with Lincoln to help him in his efforts to keep the Cherokee nation allied with the Union and was ignored. He went home and told his people that the truth was, the better deal was coming from Richmond and he would not stand in their way.

Gary–atheistic group? However secular I may be in my public life, I am deeply religious in my personal life. I'm not particularly pious. You need to be reminded of when the French Jews were liberated under Napolean. He called a Sanhedrin and posed them the question of their identity. The response was "a Jew at home, a man on the street." If I want to follow the rules of Kasruth in my own kitchen, leave me the hell alone. If I come telling Big Daddy's they can't serve pork barbecue…
Thankfully, I know many, many Christians of various sects who try to practice the teachings of their L-rd and Saviour according to their understanding thereof without feeling it necessary to exclude others or demand that "you believe as I believe or be damned."

Excuse me CAFE. When did "Gay Rights" become a religion??? This is a group of sinners who organize and march to continue their sins. I see no other sinner "MARCH" to continue their "SINS" for "homsexual/Gay Rights." We all are sinners. However, we are to "DECREASE" our sins not "increase" our sins in our effort to to come into god's glory. God gave us a MIND, SPIRIT, and the WORD to discern "RIGHTEOUSLY". Please use them in this regard before you leave this EARTH…
June 1st, 2009
7:43 pm
Barry–yes, G-d gave us mind, spirit and the word to discern rightously, but he left it to us to do it. Your faith has two VERY important guiding principles: "All have sinned and come short of the glory of G-d," and "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Now if as you say it's a group of sinners who have organized and continue their sins, and all have sinned and fallen short, then we can say as much about any organized group be it the Rotary Club, the Ladies Flower Club or the local Whatever Church.
"And G-d wept within his portals."

OK, I was having fun for awhile chuckling over how Rush and the Jayzus crowd was going to get over all this. Then it came to me where I had heard this before. "A matter for the states to decide?" Does anybody hear the echo of Strom Thurmond and George Wallace? They were all about "states rights" when the Feds told them it wasn't nice to hang black voters anymore – back when wingnuts were Democrats. Now that most of their minions have gone over to the Publicans they're beating that tired drum again (unless the state OK's medical marijuana or assisted suicide – then it's bad). Since Dick never had an idea Karl Rove didn't give him I'd be willing to bet it's nothing more than a cynical attempt to energize the base.

Cheney has said this all along, big Jim!! It was the left that used this issue, along with you and the other wh*res in the State-Run media, to divide the country. Over 60% of Americans polled, I guess this includes the illegals that we are no longer to exclude from public discourse, have rejected the redefinition of marriage on a federal level. But as usual the left leaves out the fact that of that 60% of those that opposed federal action ins upport of Gay-Lesbian marriage a majority supports the right of the states to decide the issue. I hate to fuffle some feather boas, but in those states that have voted on the issue the public has soundly rejected such efforts. Some states twice (CA)!! The left is addicted to exploiting wedge issues (why elese did Obama pick Sotomajor, you know Obama is smart enough to research her past and her past racist comments) and attacking Dick Cheney. This issue will eventually backfire on the left and they will blame Bush or Cheney of the current Republican party member of the moment when it does. OOOOOOH, I know they will blame Rush!! That's it. Anyway Jimbo, I am proud that you are still kicking anorexia's arse, and I cannot wait for the weekly hit on Plain and the obligatory SNL/Comedy Central video. Much love, yo!!!!

What about beastiablity…is it ok to marry my goat? Well based on the argument that the homo's are "born that way" then the obvious answer is yes.
Some people are born as pedophiles, some born with a tendencey towards children, some born with a tendency towards same sex, some with a tendency towards beastiality. Therefore all these should be made lawful because everyone is a victim nowadays and NO ONE should be denied their right to practice pro-creation albiet with a child, same sex, animal, vegetable or mineral.
If the door is opened for homo's then we must welcome in those others born with inherently deviant behaviors because "its not their fault."

I saw the headline — something to do with Dick Cheney and "should get shot"… oh it's "get shot AT!" that's different! Evidently his choice of words and the headline have garnered a lot of clever comments!
Some not so clever. This is not news. Cheney has said it before. He said it during the 2004 debate with Mr. Breck Girl.
I think unions with benefits and marriages are two different things. The state should get the hell out of marriages. Leave them to the churches. Let churches of all sorts have a monopoly on the marriage gig.
But if we insist on subsidizing marriage and mixing secular law with spiritual marriage, then let's open it up. Legalize all marriages between consenting adults. It's not my business how someone else lives UNLESS and UNTIL they threaten someone's life or property.

Good ideas, LadyLiberty. That's how you know the government will never go for them.
Fanny: "is it ok to marry my goat?"
Well, that depends on whether your goat is above the age of consent and can sign a legally binding contract. I'm guessing no, the same as with children.
So what else ya got?

LOL…is that all you got CopyLeft?
The age of consent in Sweden is 14. Beastilaity was made legel along with homosexuality back during the 50's. Legal consent would of course sway with the liberalisms or not of the courts. This being the case you counterpoint is pointless.

Dick Cheney is right. Marriage is a state issue. Leave the federal government out of it.

Norfolk, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - Richard Ross recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds, helping his Old Dominion Monarchs edge out the Rice Owls, 55-51, in Conference USA action at the Constant Convocation Center.
Ross connected on 9-of-13 shooting from the floor for Old Dominion (13-14, 7-5 C-USA). Aaron Bacote chipped in 13 points of his own, hitting 5-of-8 from the free-throw line, and Keenan Palmore grabbed 10 rebounds with a team-high four assists. The Monarchs have won two of their last three games.
Sean Obi notched a double-double of his own with 11 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn't enough for Rice (7-18, 2-10). Max Guercy scored 10 points in the loss, which was the third in a row for the Owls.
Old Dominion connected on 42.4 percent of its field goal tries in the first half, but went just 2-of-11 from 3-point range. Still, the Monarchs took a 32-25 lead into the intermission after Rice hit just 37.5 percent of its shot attempts in the frame.
The Monarchs dropped their shooting percentage down to 31.8 in the second half, not helped by 1-of-11 shooting from deep. But the Owls could only match that, hitting an identical 31.8 percent in the period, only making a three- point dent in the ODU lead.
Old Dominion had the advantage in points in the paint, 33-19, and in second chance points, 13-2. The Monarchs dominated on the glass, outrebounding the Owls 43-31.

- " My only complaint with this hotel was the location. This was supposedly located in the city center, but when we arrived we found that it was not centrally located. We were able to take a tram from the central station, but it took quite a while for us to. Figure out how we could get there, as we had assumed we'd be able to walk to anything located in the city center. Otherwise, I liked this hostel. I especially liked that both breakfast and dinner were provided at no extra charge. "

LAKELAND, Minn. (AP) -- Washington County authorities are investigating the discovery of a body in the St. Croix River in Lakeland.
The sheriff's office was called late Tuesday morning about a possible dead body on the shore. Deputies found the decomposed body, which apparently was in the water for a long time.
Deputies could not identify the body. The body was turned over to the Ramsey County medical examiner's office.

If the thought of Mardi Gras, Cajun food and hurricanes (the drink, not the weather phenomenon) sets your toes a tappin,' head to Morton Grove-based restaurant .
Easily, the single most popular dish served is the spicy jambalaya, notes Niral Patel, who co-owns Crazy Jaws with his cousin Sanjay Patel. "It has a nice kick," says Patel. "People order it two or three times more often than anything else."
More fun:
The menu also includes such New Orleans mainstays as gumbo, po' boy and muffuletta sandwiches and red beans and rice. These are complemented by more traditionally Southern delicacies (cheese grits, fried pickles, hush puppies and catfish fingers among them).
However, Niral Patel relates that since the restaurant opened in March – jambalaya aside – they've found that patrons are mostly clamoring for the barbeque dishes: baby-back and beef ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork. Their in-house smoker gives the meats an earthy flavor, and portions are generous (especially so the beef ribs, dubbed by some as "Flintstones ribs"). Bring your eatin' pants, y'all.
Crazy Jaws is family-friendly, with a kids' menu and combo platters that lend themselves to sharing. N'Awlins décor (beads! beads!), a spate of flat-screen TVs broadcasting sports, pool tables and dartboards create a casual, fun ambiance. After 9 p.m., a young adult crowd predominates. Hours: Sun-Fri.: 11 a.m.-2 a.m.; Sat. 11 a.m.-3 a.m.
Crazy Jaws, 9001 Waukegan Rd., Morton Grove (847) 583-8100.

Why Can't My Kids Make Their Beds?!
According to the First Lady, Sasha and Malia make their beds every morning. When I heard this, I died a little maternal death.
Sarah Bowman: Michelle's intention is clearly to keep her girls as regular as the rest of us. But, I suspect there are an appalling number of us normal folk who think of making beds as a chore from a bygone era. My kids regularly feed the dogs, help out with meals, and take in an elderly neighbor's trash bins. I just can't seem to get them to care about making their beds. Neither went to a camp that instilled the habit in them, and in their formative years, I was downstairs, whipping up banana pancakes and hollering instead for teeth to be brushed and backpacks readied.
Each June, I hold my kids' flip-flopped feet to the fire, and for the first few days of summer, they enthusiastically shake out the comforter and punch their pillows into shape. My optimism about their future soars, and I imagine them starting a micro-lending business before they're eighteen. But a single lazy, sleep-in Saturday morning is my nemesis, and I find myself straightening the sheets even as the kids are packing their own lunches for camp. Should I kiss my dreams of the Ivy League goodbye?
Mine are "regular" teens, with a schedule of academic, athletic, and social obligations that would exhaust a political handler. In fact, what I really need is a staffer who can fit a precious thirty seconds into their ridiculously stuffed routine so they can shake out a down comforter. We've all been told that regular chores are key to instilling a sturdy self-reliance in kids. Despite my shortcomings as a taskmaster, I'm beginning to think that the real objective is a lot simpler: perhaps chores are merely meant to lighten the parental load. Every parent has a tone of voice that can make a child do something odious. Maybe Michelle hates to make hospital corners, but I like to save that imperative growl for taking out the garbage.
|Sarah Bowman is the Co-Founder of Kids Off the Couch.com. She has a BA in Semiotics from Brown University, worked in the film business as a studio executive before becoming a writer. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, and two teenagers.
Do you make your bed every morning? If you don't they why would they feel it is important to make theirs? Have you started them doing it at a young age. My daughter has been putting away her own things since she was a toddler and started helping to make her own bed at 3 and now makes it (not as neatly as I would!) by herself at age 4. BUT I stay at home and have the time to do these thing with her AND she is a born neatnik. Not all kids are wired the same and not all parents focuses are the same, like you said, your thing is taking out the garbage. : )
I work at Totally Kids fun furniture & toys in Bloomington, MN. We have a huge showroom with many different styles of beds for kids. Some of the beds are showcased somewhat messed up for those who set their priorities on other issues than a perfectly made bed. At my house however we always strive for the bed to be made first thing in the morning. I always found it to be such an easy habit.
Wait until you have teens trying to get them to think about anything that is not an apparent part of their world is like talking to a brick wall. I have 4 teens their rooms are so bad I just shut the door. I will not clean it or make their beds. they do their own laundry, make themselves food when hungry and help when I am in manaic mode. A Messy bed is the least of my worries…so smile and don't sweat it. teen logic..We'll I'm going to sleep there later, what's the point?
I have never understood the point of making a bed unless someone is visiting and I'm going to give them a tour of the house. In fact, studies show it might be unhealthy. Google "mites" and "making the bed".
My parents never bothered making their bed, and they never forced it on us either. At 23, I still don't bother. I did for my first year of uni while living in residence and having friends in and around my room all the time, but even then, it wasn't every day. Back to house life, and I stopped caring again, even with friends/housemates and other people around all the time. Now in my own home, we don't bother and we probably won't care if the kids do either - again, unless people are coming over and are going to see it. Even then, it's not a huge priority for us!
I think beds are very important for children because for us sleeping is one thing which is very important for their growth.

"Hold it right there, Dead Head!"
Farting On My Nephew
I stopped off at my sister's place this weekend and got to hang out with my 4 1/2 year old nephew. He'd called me a week before and yelled at me for not being at his house, so I figured I was due for a visit.
As an aside, he's such a little mush. When he came home he gave me a big hug and told me he missed me. Adorable.
Anyway, we're on the couch hanging out and he starts dropping silent but deadly farts every few minutes. I call him out on it, then he says "excuse me" and kinda giggles. With each sucessive fart my reaction becomes more dramatic and grandiose. He loves it.
Then, the tables turn. I feel a good one bubbling up myself, so I call him over to me, give him a bear hug and then drop a bomb. He smells it, immediately freaks out and runs away laughing.
I'm totally a grown up.
To his friend…

I'm 51... my 17 year old daughter and her friends seem to think I'm cool. I also think my daughter is cool - we hang together quite a bit, go to concerts and such. (We actually went on a double date due to some unlikely extenuating circumstances.... I don't recommend this!) We somehow got past the "Daaad, you're embarrassing me!" stage quickly.
I'm re-single, as of a couple of years ago, and I like to go out dancing at various clubs in my area (Venice and Marina del Rey CA) with the rest of the "cool kids", regardless of their ages... and I'm certainly not the oldest of the folks I see out and about :-) Nice feature of living in this particular part of LA. I'm frequently asked to dance by "age inappropriate" women, who seem to think I might be cool. Guess I've fooled them! But it's nice to be asked, I must admit. (NSV!)

The number of posts in the other thread was daunting! So I will join you here.
Me: 44 years old, trying to get back to the weight I was in my mid 30s, before pregnancy and aging got the better of me. 5'9", at my heaviest I was about 85 kilos (187 pounds) now 72 kilos (157 pounds). Have lost the past five kilos on MFP
My reason is not just vanity, but also to try and slow down the inevitable bone density and circulation issues we all face eventually. My mum is living with chronic heart failure - and I don't really want that to be me in 30 years.
Only four kilos left!
Look forward to getting to "know" you all.

45 yr old nerdess here. Started to walk and work with hand weights/resistance bands in August after many years of doing Mostly Nothing. Getting chiropractic and massage to sustain the work and feeling better than usual. Down a pants size and 10 lbs as of last week; I try not to weigh in too often. Taking lots of vits/supplements as well. I have a lot of health/skeletal issues so this is the first time in a while I've been able to get momentum going. It's good to feel myself getting stronger again.
I may or may not be cool, but here I am anyway~

I'm 44, and my kid is cool. Last year, I became a first-time mom at 43 (the old-fashioned way). We think it's pretty cool. Those who are grandparents in your 40s -- any advice for someone just starting out?
Need to drop more than a few to gain any advantage I can keeping up with my kiddo and to be around as long as possible for him.

The 2009 Dodge Caliber SRT-4 has just arrived at the Top Speed garage and the mini muscle car is looking as good as ever. The Mopar engineers have done an excellent job transforming the appearance of this box shaped people mover into this aggressive looking pavement pounder.
The big mouth front bumper is unique to the SRT-4, the openings are larger to allow more air to flow through the large front mount intercooler, a piece that hints at the turbocharged Caliber's capability. The redesigned front end also lowers the car to the ground which not only looks good, but is also functional, by blocking air from passing underneath the vehicle at speed, and when combined with the lower side skirts creates a low pressure zone that sucks the SRT-4 onto the pavement. The hood is another muscular touch, not only is made out of aluminum for weight savings, but the forward facing scoop and vents on either side hint at the bygone days of classic Mopar muscle cars.
Continued after the jump.
The Caliber SRT-4 sits lower to the ground than the standard model thanks to a Mopar engineered suspension. Unlike the muscle cars of the 1960's that rode around on 14 inch steel rims, our Caliber is sitting pretty on a set of stylish 5 spoke aluminum alloys that measure a rather large 19 inches in diameter.
The rear end of the Caliber SRT-4 is just as aggressive as the front. At the top of the hatch is a rear wing so large that it could make Porsche's classic tea tray spoiler jealous. Just like the front bumper, the rear unit was designed specifically for the SRT -4. It is wider than the standard model and features a stepped design that not only continues the lines of the Mopar, but also channels the air that does manage to get underneath the vehicle into the rear diffuser creating even more grip for the high-performance Caliber.
I can't wait to get inside!

Did you make a little 1.44MB Partition? No? Thats bad! ;-)
If you had done this, set it to type 4 (MS-DOS 12-bit FAT).
While you running Linux, put the milo floppy in the disk drive and do:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/sda1
(if your DOS-partition is on sda1)
After rebooting setup the bootmenu in the right way. Now you can boot milo
from disk.
