Do You Need To Unplug?
Last week, I had an epiphany: electronic communications have recently scooped up much of the time I should be spending with the Lord.
Let me state that more accurately: I have allowed the many forms of social media to take priority over the time I once spent with God.
Rather than read my Bible, rather than pray, rather than spend time simply talking with God, my epiphany revealed that I have an idol that steals my time from God.
Little wonder I've felt less peace and joy in my life, but have been experiencing more stress, more worry, and an abundance of anxiety.
I knew this needed to be rectified, but what could I do?
I completely unplugged from all forms of social media—including email—for the past three days. Rather than read what others are doing, rather than addictively clicking the "Like" button, rather than looking at endless emails, I focused on God.
Because it's been a while, there was a lot to talk about with the One who is never too busy to listen—starting with admitting that I've sinned by making something more important than God.
I read my Bible—and because I now had the time—I contemplated what I'd just read. Amazingly, I was able to view situations in my life with clarity and discernment.
Now, four mornings after unplugging, the joy in my heart and spirit has been restored. The things that were stressing me have been handed over to the One who can best deal with them. Gone is the worry and anxiety that had become heavy burdens. And in their place is peace—the perfect peace that can only be provided by God.
Social media has become an important part of our lives, and I need to use it. But I need to limit the time I spend with electronic communications and make my personal communication with God my first and foremost priority. I can already see the difference.
Do you need to unplug for a while? Leave a comment and tell me what you do when you've reached your stress limit.
Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

Megan Speaks on How to Keep Your Dreams Alive
Do you ever find yourself thinking that it's just too late in your life for certain things to happen? I didn't even realize that I do this. That is, until I took a lovely walk through the French Quarter in Charleston, South Carolina on Monday with my daughter Megan.
We stopped at an art gallery and admired numerous paintings by highly skilled artists. One piece in particular caught my eye, but the hefty price tag prohibited me from purchasing it.
Taking into account my age and my lack of income, I bemoaned my circumstances to Megan as she walked slightly ahead of me on a narrow sidewalk. "I love oil paintings, but I've never had the money to purchase any."
Megan murmured something.
"What?" I called out to her. "I didn't hear you."
She continued walking but turned her head toward me as she repeated her comment. "Yet."
"Yet what?"
"You haven't had the money to purchase works of art. Yet."
"Yet," I repeated.
"Yet," Megan affirmed.
In the window of another shop were photographs of England, the one place I've wanted to visit since I was eleven years old. "I still haven't been to Europe."
My daughter, diagonally in front of me on the threadlike sidewalk, muttered something.
"What, Megan?"
She turned sideways, still walking. "Yet."
"You haven't been to Europe. Yet."
Yet. I pondered the word, my foot twisting on a raised cobblestone. "Yet," I said out loud.
"That's right, Mom. Yet."
"So what's your point? I don't have the money to buy art and I don't have the money to travel to Europe."
"Yet. You talk as though you've given up on your dreams. If you give up on your dreams, they definitely won't happen."
"I'm being realistic, Megan. I'm an unknown Christian writer who just started their career and hasn't earned a penny."
"Yet. You never thought you'd write a book, but you just signed a book contract."
Yet. I stopped and let her words sink in. Yet! This child is right! I've given up on my dreams. Dreams can't happen if we give up on them, if we allow them to die, if we stop pursuing them.
I hurried to catch up. "Yes, Megan. Yet! Buying fine art and traveling to England have not happened yet!"
She glanced at me and smiled, the teacher and student trading roles. "Yet."
What about you? Yes, you. What dreams have you given up on? Maybe you should tell me while we're having this conversation. I'll start the sentence, and then you fill in the blank: "I have never……."
This is where you need Megan: "Yet."
Isn't that three-letter word unbelievably empowering?
What's your biggest dream? The one you've never told anyone, the one you are most afraid will never happen? I know you have one. This time, say your big dream out loud. Speak life into it. Revive it. I'll help you begin: "I have never……"
And Megan says: "Yet."
You see, what you are saying, in essence, is this: I have had this dream for a long time, but it hasn't materialized. Yet. I thought my dream was dead because I thought it was impossible for it to actually happen. But if I remain hopeful and focused and keep my dream alive and continue to work, it could happen. Yet.
I'll take the last turn: "I have never written a best-seller."
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for giving me such an incredible daughter, and for the opportunity to share her wisdom with my friends.

Day of the Turtles
Last May, I happened to be driving on I-85 in North Carolina on what could be called "Turtle Day." Seemingly every turtle within a five-mile radius of the interstate crawled onto the busy road.
Traveling at 65 miles per hour, I came upon turtles so quickly that there wasn't time to swerve to avoid them. Fortunately, I missed every turtle in my lane for at least 25 miles.
Then came the small turtle. Cringing, I prayed that my tires would miraculously miss the little terrapin with a great desire to cross a high-speed highway.
But it wasn't to be. With a thump, I knew I'd run over him. Heartsick, I looked in my rearview mirror only to see pieces of exploding turtle shell. I had murdered my first (and hopefully my last) turtle.
Fast forward to this week. Back on I-85 in North Carolina, I saw a small groundhog on the left berm, and hoped he'd stay put. But this little guy had the heart of an adventurer.
Scurrying into the lane ahead of me, he stopped cold and stared at me. Bearing down on the little guy at 65 miles per hour, I could not swerve without losing control of the car. I prepared myself to become a double-murderer.
Then, little guy made an on-the-spot decision: he bolted for the right side of the road as fast as he could run. Just as he reached the safety of the right berm, my car passed him thump-free.
The turtles' and groundhog's approaches to adversity made me think of how people handle tough spots.
Some folks allow their problems to immobilize them. They view some difficult situations as hopeless. Usually it's because they can't see how God can deliver them out of their troubles. Like a turtle, they pull in their appendages and shut their eyes to what God can do.
Other folks see their problems as overwhelming as the national deficit. But rather than sit still, they, like the young groundhog, take charge of their situation. By turning their problem over to God, they run the race the Lord puts in front of them and they keep moving forward.
Hmm. Turtle or groundhog. Which approach makes sense to you?
For God did not give us a spirit of fear. He gave us a spirit of power and of love and of a good mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NLV)

Devotional Thursday – 50 Socks
Socks, socks, and more socks! It looked like my dryer contained more men's socks than the Gold Toe sock display at Macy's.
The sight of so many socks now piled on top of the dryer made me exasperated. My best estimate told me there must be at least 50 socks that I needed to match, fold, and put away. I definitely was not pleased with this menial, time-consuming chore.
"It's all in a person's perspective. You can either find the blessing and be grateful or find the fault and feel awful." I could hear my friend Miss Caroline explain the value of perspective as clearly as if she stood next to me. It made me take a second look at the sock pile.
I suddenly realized several important things:
- These socks belong to my husband.
- I have a precious husband.
- If my husband owns 50 socks, then it's because he has a job and can afford to buy socks.
- And if my husband has a job, it's because God provided it for him – for us!
My disdain at having to fold so many socks turned to joy when I adjusted my perspective. A chore that could be viewed as drudgery was actually a blessing.
What things in your life need a change in perspective?
Be thankful in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Read MoreGuest Post: Fear Not by Kimberly Sowell
It's amazing what can happen to a nation in the span of about a week, and the span of that week isn't quite over. We are in the aftermath of a natural disaster that has affected thousands of Americans' lives and simultaneously in the face of a critical national election. All around us are people who are mourning the tragedy that has befallen us and at the same time fearing what may be to come.
What can we say, dear sisters? The tragedy of Hurricane Sandy is widespread and runs deep, and the physical, spiritual, and moral needs of our nation seem on many days to be a bottomless pit. We would sink in despair if we thought we had to climb our way out of this pit, but as followers of Christ, we have a different understanding on the situation, both in our nation and around the world. We participate in our government and we pray for our leaders, but we don't count on them to meet our needs; we have a God in heaven who has adopted us, and He is able to provide for His children. We get involved in the relief efforts and we reach out to those who have lost much to the hurricane, but we also don't take on the burden to rebuild people's lives; we point them to the Savior, who is mighty to save and able to put all of the pieces of their lives back together.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God (Psalm 20:7). Lift up His name. Call upon His name. He is Bread for the hungry, Living Water for the thirsty, Wisdom for the confused, the Alpha and Omega for those who need a new start in life, the Shepherd for those who need direction, the King of Kings for all who long for the security of bowing the need to a trustworthy leader. He is Lord. He is God. He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken (Psalm 62:2).
Will you take time now to pray for the people of our nation and to ask God to give Christians a great measure of courage today?

Devotional Tuesday
Do you have a special place where you go when you need a break from life? Perhaps it's a nearby park or a quiet room. The place my soul longs to visit when life delivers too many problems is near the foot of Chestnut Mountain in northeast Georgia.
During our long bout of unemployment, I found myself in desperate need of sanctum. Completely spent, I packed a suitcase and a borrowed laptop into my car and drove alone from Pennsylvania to Georgia. The 13-hour drive allowed me to put distance between devouring stresses and endless problems. Mile after mile sent heart-felt prayers to the Creator, alternately calling for God's help and praising Him for spectacular sights as I drove between ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains, heading due south. Near Asheville, North Carolina, my car began the climb into mountains so beautiful, my weariness from 11 hours behind the steering wheel was forgotten.
Having left Pennsylvania in the middle of a sticky summer sunrise, I arrived at Chestnut Mountain with enough time before sunset to climb to the summit and absorb views capable of resuscitating my spirit.
I awoke early the next morning and after filling a mug with steaming coffee and covering my shoulders with a blanket, I slipped outside to the screened-in porch where I sank into a cold, damp cushion on the seat of a rocker. Thick white fog blanketed the valley meadows and veiled the mountains to the west. It wasn't until the first rays of morning sun climbed over the peak of Chestnut Mountain that the shroud slowly dissolved and revealed the uneven peaks of timeless mountains that Cherokees once called home.
The mug warmed my hands while I breathed in the sweet smells of summer grass and clover that grow in the field between the house and the creek. My shoulders lost some of their tension and my bare feet, pressing against the floor, pushed the rocker in a soothing rhythm. Outside, my ears hear best when my eyes are closed. I turned my head slowly from side to side, the sound of creek water tumbling over rocks rode across the tall field grass and became my porch companion.
But this was only part of what I sought.
Needing more coffee, I tiptoed inside. The house was reverently quiet. Carefully holding the too-full mug, I picked up my Bible and returned to the porch. A vivid blue indigo bunting streaked past to the mature red oak at the edge of the garden where it landed on a moss-covered branch and began its early morning reverie. It was soon joined by phoebes and vireos.
Surrounded by a symphony, I opened the worn Book to the Psalms and asked the Lord to speak to my weary soul. Words ancient but relevant comforted, encouraged, strengthened, guided. Sanctuaries aren't always confined.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
My God in whom I trust."
Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day.
Psalm 91:1-5

What constitutes a family?
By Elizabeth Tenety
A majority of Americans now "consider same-sex couples with children" to be a family, according to a study released Wednesday.
The survey, "Counted Out: Same-Sex Relations and Americans' Definitions of Family," polled 800 Americans in 2003 and 2006 on their definition of a family. When asked "Which living arrangements count as family?", respondents then judged several categories, among them "husband and wife, with children," "two men, with children" and "two women, with children."
The study found that a majority define two women or two men with children to be a 'family.'
Even though most Americans believe that a gay couple with children constitutes a family, those who say that the word family belongs to a married man and woman often are religious: "People commonly rely on religious themes in defending the boundaries they draw between families and nonfamilies," the study's authors wrote.
The researchers also found "a strong link between religious views and the exclusivity of family definitions," a discovery that may reflect the 'one man, one woman' marriage advocacy undertaken by several major religious and cultural organizations in opposition to a political and cultural movement for gay rights, including gay marriage.
From the study:
"Respondents who relied on religious explanations were among the most steadfast opponents to enlarging the scope of family definitions and extending the rights and privileges of marriage to same-sex couples, frequently invoking 'God's will' ('It's not in God's will for it. God created man for woman and woman for man').
"[A]n elderly woman answered the question thus: 'Definitely a family consists of a man and a woman, not two people of the same sex. A family is consecrated in marriage. Usually consists of children, but not necessarily because a couple may not be able to have children.' "
Religions teach their followers about the meaning of life and how to live it --from dictates on what to wear, what to eat, how to act charitably, yes, teachings on what makes a family.
And recently it's been religious groups, including the Catholic and Mormon churches, and several Christian organizations, that have used their political advocacy to maintain that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, only. Do religious organizations also have a future in fighting over the definition of a family?
How do you define 'family'? Does your religion inform your understanding? Does your definition include gay couples? Do you find such labels helpful or harmful?

It seems an inherent trait among the religious to define for other people the kinds of lives they must live, using definitions and reasons they use for themselves. And of course it is all based on something their gods have told them to do, as perceived and imposed by the professional purveyors of their religion.
Are they trying to validate these unreasoned reasons? Why do they concern themselves with how other people live, and even more - why do they demand that other people live the same way?
People whose business is worth minding, mind their own business. People whose lives are empty, filled only by the fatuous fantasies of religious beliefs mind other people's business.

"How do you define 'family'?"
Like porn, I know it when I see it. Your definition may be different, and that's just fine in casual discourse... it's where we start talking about laws that I'll get in a snit about it.
"Does your religion inform your understanding?"
To me religion is almost the opposite of understanding. Religion is about adhering to ancient, rote ideals, not understanding things.
"Does your definition include gay couples"
Sure, and even more bizarre? I apply the term to dogs and cats as well. to me 'family' is a non-sexual reference. When I ask a stranger "How's the family?" I don't generally apply a laundry list of caveats such as ". . .and by family I mean please exclude anyone that is related by or cohabitating with or engaging in sexual behaviors I consider perverse." That's a little too familiar/specific when I'm simply meeting somebody or just riding in an elevator with them.
"Do you find such labels helpful or harmful?"
As I said, casually? whoopdeedoo. I mean if you want to call your mailbox "Thryphil, the Divine Receptacle of Printed Messages" that's your privilege. Require me to call MINE that? I'll give you a proper fight.

First, let me state that I am a 41 yr old, Christian woman, who was not raised in "the church" although I was "saved" when I was 8 and have attended and been counted as part of the membership of a variety of churches and denominations. Second, as a result of a very "modern American" upbringing: Child of a teen mom, with multiple marriages, and under custody of other family members, I had a very non-"christian" (read: Republican, Right-wing) perspective.
Now, Jesus didn't define families. He did define neighbors. His instruction to his followers was to love God and to love people. His definition of neighbor was all-inclusive. I do not have the right to dictate to anyone else how they should think, feel or act. However, I am called to hold my "family" in Christ to accountability in loving ways to His instructions to love God and love people.
The bible does define sin of all kinds. Behaviors, attitudes, and actions that create harm, cause separation, and drive a wedge between people and their relationship to God. Gossip, slander, lying, cheating, stealing, refusing to give aid and nurture to widows and orphans are defined as sin the same as the many different sexual and addictive sins are and God judges them all the same.
I choose to define family by looking at the verb/noun Love. Therefore, where there is love, there is family.

Why of course we all know family means one brutish white man with a crew cut, a subservient braindead white wife, and as many mollified children as possible, beaten into understanding the meaning of a good Christian godfearing plantation philosophy with full 2nd amendment rights.
Blacks and brown people may also participate if they show enough empty piety and promise to deny civil rights to anyone who doesn't fit into the category described in the first paragraph above.
Amen, brethren and cistern. Yea verily, all sociological categorization and flimsy pseudo-religious cant must be decided by plebescite, lest the sodomites and zoophiles get in the back door.

A REAL family is a cohesive group that pledges to support, care for, and love each other. My WIFE and I (we are gay Christians who married June 2008) are a FAMILY, whether the fundies and those from the afa, the frc and the fotf CULTS like it or not!

In Iran, a family is a man, a woman and a bunch of children.
Supposedly the U.S. is a secular state where we are free to practice or not practice religion.
However, so-called "Christian conservatives" would like the U.S. to be more like Iran.

You asked, "How do you define 'family'?"
Family is "humanity" all that have been, are or will be, this makes "all" of us, brothers and sisters.
I would say that we are quite the "dysfunctional" family, wouldn't you?
You then asked, "Does your religion inform your understanding?"
Since I consider myself a catholic Catholic and the fact that "catholic" means universal, how could anyone come up with a different "definition" of family?
And as it says in the bible, "Let Us make man (humanity) in Our Image...", this very clearly states that it means ALL.
You then asked, "Does your definition include gay couples?"
It includes all of those that have been, are or will be, in other words (ALL, past, present, future), very simple and very inclusive.
You also asked, "Do you find such labels helpful or harmful?"
It doesn't matter to me one way or the other but I believe some are in for quite a surprise when they find out that God looks at the "person" not the "label".
Take care, be ready.
Sincerely, Thomas Paul Moses Baum.

I am a schoolteacher: I define families as the many relatives (related or not) that love and take care of the students I teach. I have students with 2 moms, students with 1 mom, students with a mom and dad that get along, and students that have parents that fight nightly. I also have students who live with their grandma, or someone they call Aunt who is actually no relation biologically. These are all families.
Does your religion inform your understanding?
I'm atheist, but when I was Methodist, I felt the same way about families and homosexuality: that families are broadly defined, and homosexuality is not a sin. I chose what I wanted from the bible at the time, and left out what I didn't want.
Does your definition include gay couples?
Yes, of course.
Do you find such labels helpful or harmful?
There's no need to refer to a couple as interracial. 50 years ago, this was a big deal. I think in time, we won't refer to homosexual couples as anything other than couples.

In various Bible times a family could include: concubines, multiple wives, sisters in law who married the patriarch after becoming widows, orphaned relatives, some in-laws, and even slaves and servants.
Today, I believe a family is any group who lives together intending to have long-term bonds of love and commitment. Foster families, adoptive families, blended families, step-families, same sex families, sisters and brothers living together, neices and aunts...God loves 'em all equally. We Christians should stop worrying about how to define a family and just get on with supporting anyone, single or in a group, who is a child of God. That includes everyone, no exceptions.

When you're part of a family you know it, they all know it and you don't need some moose rifle totin' creep with a bible opened to leviticus to define it for you.

You've all been watching too many animated kids movies where the cat, the dog, the mouse, the dinosaur from the past, the cowboy action doll come to life, and the teapot declare themselves a "family".
When a word can mean anything, it means nothing. If you want a word to mean whatever the heck you want, that's your business, but when you demand that I recognize your definition as valid, that becomes my business.

A family is people who, whether related genetically or not, have chosen to be in a mutually loving, supportive relationship. This may or may not include marriage, may or may not include production or adoption of children. The number of dangly bits is irrelevant.

I'm a gay man.
What never ceases to amaze me is that people like you don't stop for one second to consider that WE tolerate YOU.
We have endured your ridicule all our lives, abnegating years of authentic living and happiness to accommodate your personal comfort and to spare ourselves persecution.
Those days are OVER.
Now you have to JUST DEAL.
It's mutual tolerance.
Our very existence is an outrageous inconvenience to you. Tough.
I don't demand you accept me or consider me valid AT ALL.
I do, however, as your fellow American, expect you to let me live as I see fit without constantly imposing your personal condemnation on me and other good gay people.
Mind your own business, which is YOUR personal relationship. And I'll mind mine.
It's a two-way street.

"a real family is a husband and wife and kids...
2 guys with kids...
well if it's 2 guys with male children, thats a problem...
if it's 2 guys with barbie, thats ok...
the same principle with women..."
I just don't understand where people get the nerve to have the audacity to tell other people how they can and cannot live their lives. The cavalier judgment is mindboggling.
And what's so infuriating about the cavalier judgment of DWIGHTCOLLINS, is that DWIGHTCOLLINS, in his comfortable ignorance, truly believes gay people have a greater capacity to molest children than do straight people. I'm sure, in part, this is because of the Catholic sex scandal, but that scandal exposed the dangers of systematic sexual repression, not an indication that gay men have a higher likelihood of molesting children than straight people.
I am a gay man and I have not once had an unsavory, sexual thought about a child. Period.
And to all those who routinely chant the tired mantra "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve"...
According to your folklore, it was a straight couple, not a gay couple, that ticked off God so much that our species was kicked out of Eden and has been forever branded with the shame of original sin. So, straight couples who claim a monopoly on "family values" and "living right" should truly, I mean, really....give it a rest.

"Wow. OK. You might want to spit out some of that bile."
Because of ignorance and condemnation from people like you, PYELLMAN, two of my gay friends are dead; one hanged himself at 21, and the other shot himself in the head at 24.
You'd be angry, too, if you had to put up with what we have.
What I've expressed is reasonable frustration and justified anger, not bile. Learn the difference.
I find it ironic you have the gall to accuse me of being impudent, given your earlier suggestion that gay people should not be trusted alone with children of the same sex.
Seriously, sir or madam (I'm assuming you are a he), how would YOU feel if someone made such an assumption about YOUR character?
You'd be pretty irked, too.
Yet you claim to be on the receiving end of unwarranted "bile."
Unbelievable. Truly.

PYELLMAN, clearly I confused you and DWIGHTCOLLINS. My bad.
However, your being so "put out" by gay people just wanting the same joys and dignity in their lives, is, well, frustrating, infuriating, and, frankly, outrageously narcissistic.
I stand by my statements regarding people like you who have such clear contempt for gay people simply existing, and chastise us for allegedly spewing "bile" when we stand up for ourselves without reservation.
We're not the bullies in this relationship.

I am a gay man who lives with my partner in Minnesota. We are both Episcopalians who worship in a Parish Community where we are welcomed, respected and celebrated as a family. In our Parish we are recognized as a committed Christian Couple, because of the love we share, not because we are two men who live together.
To me, my Christian Faith is not so much about making public policies that force what I believe on others. What I believe is how I live, because it is how God is real in my life and in the life my partner and I share. We pray every day together, share in our meals, successes, difficulties and we are there for each other through good times and bad. Isn't that what love and marriage are really about? Isn't that what really matters?
Religious convictions don't have to affect public policy, but if it does, I wish it would affect people for positive reasons rather than chase people away. The Christian Faith really is about loving our neighbor including those who are different from ourselves. It includes respecting people of other religions, races, sexual orientations, gender identities/expressions, genders, nationalities, cultures and abilities. Those who insist that the Christian Faith is suppose to be exclusive, are misrepresenting what the Gospel is really about. And that is why more and more people turn away from the Christian Faith and/or all religions. It does not have to be that way.
The Christian Church has made many mistakes over the years, and now they are working to exclude LGBTQ people from marriage and other equal rights. It is a misuse of the Christian Gospel, and a terrible abuse of religious power.
My God honors all loving and committed relationships. What gender they are, what sexual orientation they are, is all part of God's plan for inclusive and diverse ways of loving each other as we are. It is an honorable thing to do.

I am a gay Episcopalian who lives with my partner in Minnesota. We worship together with a Parish Community where we are welcomed, affirmed, and celebrated for who we are. We are considered a family. We are a family, with or with out children. Only the Federal and State Governments, and conservative Christians do not recognize us that way. However, we do not live our lives the way we do for them, we live it for and with each other.
Religion does not have to affect public policy negatively. Those who use it to affect it negatively are misrepresenting what the Christian Gospel is really about.
I believe that all loving relationships are honored by God. It is too bad that conservative Christians cannot see God and a family within that kind of thing.

I find this frustrating and, oddly enough, somewhat amusing.
Sir, you came to this sight, mocked others for their personal views of love and family, comparing those views to children's movie fantasy.
And you demonstrated clear contempt for gay people for just EXISTING, for being visible, in your claim that you are somehow being forced to validate them and their families, which is stunningly narcissistic.
Your post, sir, was condescending and insulting.
That might make some people angry.
It was easy for me to confuse you with another person posting, not because I am blinded by hatred as you claim, which I find ironic, but because you and the other person both made comments that are cavalierly disrespectful towards gay people and their families.
That cavalier disrespect angered me.
Anger is not necessarily hate.
Please consider that.
Thank you.
Having said that, who is to say who can tell someone else what their family should and shouldn't look like? Why are families that aren't exactly like yours such a personal affront? I know many, many people who are just happy there is more happiness in the world. Life is such a bitter, tragically beautiful struggle. Why would you want to sour someone else's happiness? Why is someone else having the same happiness and dignity so offensive to you? You don't have to approve of them. No one is asking you to. You don't have to support or condone anything. No one is forcing you to do ANYTHING.
I simply will never understand.
It's quite sad. With all the problems of our world, the one thing that makes some people furious is other people loving each other and building a life together with dignity and security.
Again, I will never understand.
When we're all on our death beds, do you really think this debate is even going to cross our minds?
Consider that. Please. Really, think about that.

A new surgical approach to subdural hematoma in children shows promise for reducing chronic collections of fluid in subdural spaces.
By lowering and advancing the superior sagittal sinus (a venous sinus of the dura mater) with the overlying sagittal suture and then performing a duraplasty, neurosurgeon Francisco Gutierrez, MD, and colleagues at Children's Hospital of Chicago eliminate narrowing and angulation of the cortical veins, which they believe to be a cause of the continual fluid accumulation.
"We postulate that one possible mechanism in this condition is the stretching and narrowing of the cortical veins that bridge the subarachnoid and subdural spaces to enter the superior sagittal sinus," says Gutierrez. "The accumulation of fluid is the initial cause of the 'hanging veins' and may lead to their thrombosis and narrowing. Then, elevated back pressure favoring the formation of a transudate often follows, and the veins are unable to resume their normal

San Lameer Review
This exclusive self-catering resort is a great getaway from noisy city life for a group of friends or a family. Spacious one- to five-bedroom Tuscan-style villas, many with breathtaking views of the sea or the bird-filled lagoons, are set among gardens and indigenous forest. At night it's lit by hundreds of twinkling lights. Stroll down paved walkways to the private beach or meander through the woods and you'll likely see small antelope and monkeys. Golf enthusiasts enjoy the championship course, which hosts major tournaments, and there's also a mashie (tiny) course. If DIY is not your style, opt for the on-site Mondazur Resort Estate Hotel.

WASHINGTON — Onward to the next fiscal crisis. Actually, several of them, potentially. The New Year's Day deal averting the "fiscal cliff" lays the groundwork for more combustible struggles in Washington over taxes, spending and debt in the next few months.
President Barack Obama's victory on taxes this week was the second, grudging round of piecemeal successes in as many years in chipping away at the nation's mountainous deficits. Despite the length and intensity of the debate, the deal to raise the top income tax rate on families earning over $450,000 a year — about 1 percent of households — and including only $12 billion in spending cuts turned out to be a relatively easy vote for many. This was particularly so because the alternative was to raise taxes on everyone.
But in banking $620 billion in higher taxes over the coming decade from wealthier earners, Obama and his Republican rivals have barely touched deficits still expected to be in the $650 billion range by the end of his second term. And those back-of-the-envelope calculations assume policymakers can find more than $1 trillion over 10 years to replace automatic across-the-board spending cuts known as a sequester.
"They didn't do any of the tough stuff," said Erskine Bowles, chairman of Obama's 2010 deficit commission. "We've taken two steps now, but those two steps combined aren't enough to put our fiscal house in order."
In 2011, the government adopted tighter caps on day-to-day operating budgets of the Pentagon and other cabinet agencies to save $1.1 trillion over 10 years.
The measure passed Tuesday prevents middle-class taxes from going up while raising rates on higher incomes. It also blocks severe across-the-board spending cuts for two months, extends unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless for a year, stops a 27 percent cut in Medicare fees paid to doctors and prevents a possible doubling of milk prices.
The alternative was going over the cliff, an economy-punching half-trillion-dollar combination of sweeping tax increases and spending cuts. Despite the deal, the government partially went over the brink anyway with the expiration of a two-year cut in Social Security payroll taxes of two percentage points.
Action inside a dysfunctional Washington now only comes with binding deadlines. So, naturally, this week's hard-fought bargain sets up another crisis in two months, when painful across-the-board spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs are set to kick in and the government runs out of the ability to juggle its $16.4 trillion debt without having to borrow more money.
Unless Congress increases or allows Obama to increase that borrowing cap, the government risks a first-ever default on U.S. obligations. Republicans will use this as an opportunity to leverage more spending cuts from Obama, just like they did in the summer of 2011.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, vows that any increase in the debt limit — which needs to be enacted by Congress by the end of February or sometime in March — must be accompanied by an equal amount in cuts to federal spending. That puts him on yet another collision course with Obama, who has vowed anew that he won't let haggling over spending cuts complicate the debate over the debt limit.
The cliff compromise represented the first time since 1990 that Republicans condoned a tax increase. That has whipped up a fury among tea party conservatives and increased the pressure on Boehner to adopt a hard line in coming confrontations over the borrowing cap and the spending cuts that won only a two-month reprieve in this weeks' deal.
Put simply, House Republicans are demanding new spending cuts — possibly through changes in Social Security and Medicare benefit formulas — as a scalp, and they're dead set against raising more revenues through anything less than an overhaul of the tax code now that Obama has won higher taxes on the wealthy.
"Now the focus turns to spending," Boehner said after Tuesday's vote, promising that future budget battles will center on "significant spending cuts and reforms to the entitlement programs that are driving our country deeper and deeper into debt."
Obama is just as adamant on the other side, saying higher revenues have to be part of any formula for further diverting the automatic spending cuts.
While conservative activist Grover Norquist gave Republicans a pass on violating his anti-tax pledge with this week's vote, he and other forces on the right won't be so forgiving on any future effort to increase revenues.
The refusal of Republicans to consider additional new taxes is sure to stir up resistance among Democrats when they're asked to consider politically painful cuts to so-called entitlement programs like Medi-care. Democratic protests led Obama and Boehner to take a proposal to increase the Medicare eligibility age off the table in the recent round of talks.

Everything I'm about to discuss is complete fiction and bears no resemblance to reality - at least that's my story and I'm sticking with it.
There's a product out there that begins with "Source" doesn't end with "Safe" but a word that's synonomous with the opposite of OnSite. I have never seen a product that I hate as much as it. I mean if you ever think SourceSafe is a pain - try this crap and have some real fun.
This week alone I've lost 4 hours because of it. It's really cool because a lot of times it just freezes up in the middle of pulling over a project. Sometimes it leaves your files in a half locked state and you have to completely restart IIS. Other times it works fine, until of course more than 1 person tries connecting to it at once. We now have a policy where we have to send out an email to everyone on the team and announce when you're going to pull something down and when you're done. As goofy as it sounds, it's actually a feasible solution and has helped out immensely.
Looks like the problem is that Source Offline wraps a bunch of COM calls w/ P/Invoke - so even though it's multithreaded, it doesn't matter because the server isn't.
Today I had a wonderful day. I'm right up against a BIG deadline and all was pretty much on schedule. I decided to stay late b/c no one in the government will ever be in the office working after 5:00 and most of the folks I worked with were taking the kids Trick Or Treating. So that meant I could go pull down all the latest builds of everything and get ahead. But NO. Right in the middle of pulling down a rather large project w/ Get Latest Version, the Server connection closed, popped up an error message and caused VS.NET to freeze. I went and took a dump and came back 20 minutes later and it was still hung. So I had to kill VS.NET. When I got it back up, two of the files I was working on since noon were corrupted! Yep, couldn't even open them in the designer. So I had to go back and revert to the previous version which effectively set me back about 6 hours. The creators of this hellish project need to be included in my prayer list...
On a brighter note, my new SPOT Watch arrived today and I finally got it up and running. I had one a year ago when they first came out but I lived in Augusta where the only thing you can get is Sweet Tea, Grits and Church. Hence no coverage. So I gave it to a friend who could use it. Greenville, SC is about 10000000000 lightyears ahead of Augusta and fortunately it has coverage. This one is cooler than my old one too - I even see a section for Programs which is intriguing. I KNOW for a fact that there are people writing programs for the CLR right now and my one man goal is to pull this off. Sure, I doubt Remoting is supported or MSMQ and I doubt you can run a Biztalk orchestration on it, but I don't really need to do any of that at the moment and the best part is that surely Source Offhell won't ever be able to run on it which is reason enough to buy one.
KC had a good post a while back about how Portable Media Center and SPOT both have the ability to run programs but Gen1 of either of them doesn't let you access it - hence he wasn't buying either until that point. Well, I totally respect his viewpoint but I have very little of substance in my life so purchasing expensive toys gives my life meaning. And now I can check my email from my phone, my PDA or my watch. The only bad part is that I haven't gotten much but spam lately. Maybe I need to write some more political stuff because for some reason, that seems to generate a lot of traffic.
Casey was right again on this - you can write about technology all day long and you may or may not get a post or two. Write about politics, stippers, religion or post pictures of your girlfriend's butt, and viola - traffic. Weird phenomenon indeed.
I've gotten to the point where I refuse to store my stuff in any kind of source control. I've heard good things about Vault but I haven't tried it. I just do incremental backups three times a day in a little batch program. Source Safe literally ate an entire library I wrote and that was the last time I ever used it. The only thing I have ever seen work on really large drawn out projects is a CVS type setup. I worked on a project on and off for almost five years that had a CVS system and it never ate anything. But it had a full time admin managing checkins and checkouts. Lately because of the type of work I've been doing I can get away with just backing up my own work to the server three times a day. It creates a bunch of folder but that works better than just overwritting if I ever need to roll back. At the end of each week my network admin burns a backup of everything under the main folder so on Monday I can delete everything and start a new week of backups. The weekly backups are placed in storage for something like ten years so I can go back a long ways if I need to. It's kind of a pain but it beats having some sh!tty software eat my work. One of these days off the record I'll tell you my Source Safe story. I used to be in a study group with a bunch of the Source Safe developers. Don't ever stick your stuff in that abortion of an app.
Ok Andy - before I respond I want to mention that my post had nothing whatsoever to do with my company, any of our clients or the Source control provider you reference. OUCH - Goddamit those lightning bolts hurt. Actually, in my hypothetical scenario the lead architect of my imaginary company used .Reflector to get to the problem and found it. He identified it to the specific few lines of code causing the problem. When he told the wonderful folks at the hypothetical company what it was, they responded "We have 40,000 seats and not one problem" So I ask you this. If you have a multithreaded client, talking over sockets, with code that blocks on the socket and the server merely P/Invokes [STATHREAD] old com libraries a la Source Safe - do you foresee a good ending? I already had blind hatred for this hypothetical company because they are anti-booth babe http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsoftware/html/software06012004.asp but now I really hate them. Vault is a first rate product. It's hypothetical counterpart isn't fit to sniff Rosie ODonnels grundle. My a33 is bleeding right now because I lost some critical work today. Fortunately I remember everything I did and I have the benefit of knowing what I did earlier, but by all measures it looks like I'm going to pull at a minimum 61 hours this week - and that's doing .NET Work - not even Biztalk stuff. I really wish that crappy source control, work deadlines, my two MVP Courses (Sharepoint and Sql Server 2005) dont' ever all decide to converge in a single week again. Learning cool new stuff isn't as fun when you have pressing issues to address. And that's not to mention the gates outside of my complex decided to quit working. how the f*ck am I supposed to find the time to go Egging and TPing people's houses with all of this sh1t?

And The Beat Goes On: May 25th
Happy 37th birthday, Ms. Lauryn Hill:
● Drew Davison writes about the acquisition of hard-throwing lefty John Gaub on a waiver claim from the Rays yesterday, a move that would seem to be part depth addition, part reclamation. Gaub, 27, sports a career 5.8 BB/9 and 12.5 K/9 in the minors, and has seen his walk rate fare worse than that career-average baseline over the last few seasons; that won't play at the big league level even with monster strikeout rates, and so I'm led to believe that the Rangers think they can "fix" him, and possibly create a legitimate bullpen asset out of a live arm.
Interestingly, the first-place Orioles reportedly placed a waiver claim on Gaub as well, but lost out by virtue of having a better record (and thus worse waiver priority) than Texas.
● Randy Galloway leads his morning column with a nice all-out attack on the Rangers' lacking results of late, then proceeds to state that the Rangers need to go ahead and re-sign Josh Hamilton even if it requires going above and beyond $180 million, and says that a failure on the part of the Rangers to re-sign Hamilton could go down as one of the worst decisions in baseball history, on the level of the Milt Pappas for Frank Robinson trade back in 1965:
Now, however, he's slumping. That changes nothing. You don't let immense talent walk. Immense talent always stays. Even if you overpay, immense talent, the best talent in baseball, stays -- warts, demons and all.
That is a remarkably, almost impossibly narrow justification for throwing upwards of $150 million at somebody, let alone somebody who's turning 32 next May. It's certainly within the realm of possibility that the Rangers will overpay for Hamilton, but if that comes to pass, it's going to happen because the Rangers believe Hamilton can at least approach the kind of on-the-field production required to "get their money's worth," and because they believe that Hamilton will generate enough additional revenue to offset some of the financial issues created by a deal of that magnitude. And if they do end up believing those things, it'll be thanks to an intensive, thorough analysis of the Hamilton situation and all its component factors ... not because "you don't let immense talent walk."
It's not Galloway's job to deliver reasoned baseball analysis. His job is to stir up the masses and get them talking and grab eyeballs by whatever means necessary, and I'm at peace with that. Even by that lowered standard, though, flip-flopping from a maximum offer of one year and $20 million back in February to more than $180 million on the basis of seven great weeks is either disingenuous or insane.
● From the SportsDay On Air department, Kevin Sherrington balks at the idea of going to Alexi Ogando as an interim starter (fair enough), but seems to base that opinion in large part on Mike Adams "not being automatic as a setup guy" (huh?), and suggests that turning to Robbie Ross as the interim starter could "shatter his confidence." Barry Horn, meanwhile, seems to have adopted the 'sign Roy Oswalt at all costs' mindset, and says that Oswalt would give Texas insurance, because this "isn't a great pitching staff by any means." Well, alright then.
● T.R. Sullivan's latest mailbag/inbox/thing includes stuff on Ogando possibly going back to the rotation, Mike Adams changing up his repertoire, Josh Hamilton's bat-throwing, and Jennifer in Grand Prairie asking that ballplayers cease spitting on the field.
● Apropos of nothing: I watched Moneyball for the first time last night. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. I was entertained at times during the narrative; other times, not so much. I would tend to side more with Keith Law's negative view of the film than any of the number of glowing reviews it ultimately pulled down; for those who loved it, though, more power to them, and I'm still glad I watched it at least once.
● Jesse Sanchez has a good column on bonus babies Nomar Mazara and Ronald Guzman. Lefty Kevin Matthews, the Rangers' 2011 first-round pick, has been moved up to Low-A Hickory. Curt Schilling's video game company has gone belly up, despite having received a $75 million loan guarantee from the state of Rhode Island. They're having too much fun out in St. Louis.

Dolly Pentreath was one of the last, if not the last, native Cornish speakers. She claimed that Cornish was her only language until she was 20 or so. She lived in Mousehole and died there in 1777. Or she lived and died in Paul, the village just above Mousehole...in other versions. She probably did both, although obviously she only died in one...
moreMousehole harbour is a lovely spot, with plenty to watch (always the same with harbours) and a good view out to see as well.If you are visiting in winter there are rather good Christmas lights too...it's a Mousehole tradition. They don't just decorate the harbour edge but create floating displays...a dinosaur and (I think) a whale when I...
moreIf you walk the narrow lanes around the heart of Mousehole, near the harbour, you will get a feel for what the village was like when its life revolved around the sea and fishing.Cottages built from local stone, with thick walls and tiny windows to provide shelter from the weather. Most stand sideways on to the sea, in the main, for shelter from the...

We stopped by Mousehole for lunch and immediately liked the look of 2 Fore Street Restaurant, which is located just across the road from the harbour. The glass frontage and modern décor gave the impression it was our type of place. Lunch service was in full swing, but there were a few free tables and we were told to take our pick. We just had the...
moreI wanted to visit Mousehole when I was in Cornwall only because a book I love (Charles de Lint's book The Little Country) took place there. Amazingly, the people in Pam's Pantry, mentioned often in the book, or the local bookshop across from it seemed to know nothing about it. Still, I'm glad I went! The food was great, as was the service and...

moreI haven't actually been to this event, as I was not there at the right time of year, but I've heard of it and wish I could see it myself. The photo is by Charles Winpenny and is here by permission from Cornwall Cam .You see, the Christmas lights in Mousehole don't just decorate houses - they go on the boats, too. Everything is decorated in a...
moreThe cheapest way to get to Mousehole is to walk, and there are good views, pubs, and a few small shops along the way, but once you've done that you can also take the First Bus from one of the stops in Penzance, Newlyn, or Marazion. The bus drops off and picks up right in the center of Mousehole. It's cheap (I think it costs just over a pound) and comfortable. Visit the website below to plan your trip or see the times.
West Cornwall has an extra Christmas celebration on the 23rd December, known as Tom Bawcocks Eve.
Mousehole man Tom Bawcock lived about two centuries ago. During a bad winter of storms with Christmas coming up, the fisherman of Mousehole had not managed to gather in any fish being too afraid to take their boats out. On the Eve of Christmas Eve, with the gale still blowing, Tom gathered his crew together; "Come on, me sons, let's see if we can get us some Christmas denner."
They were the only boat to set sail into the storm. The tradition goes that they had a good catch and bought back seven different types of fish.
On Tom Bawcocks Eve this is celebrated by the baking of Starry Gazy pie which has seven types of fish baked under a crust, with the heads sticking out a hole in the middle.
A merry place you may believe
Was Mouzel on Tom Bawcocks Eve.
To be there then who wulden wesh
To sup o sibm soorts o fesh.
When morgy brath had cleared the path,
Come scences for a fry,
And we had a bit o scad
And starry gazy pie.
Next came fairmaids
Bra thusty jandes
As maade our oozles dry.
And ling and haake
Enough to make
A raunin' shark to sigh.
An aich we'd clunk
As health were drunk,
And when up came Tom Bawcocks name
We pris'd un to the sky.
traditional rhyme
Here's what I think you should do to visit Mousehole. 1) Walk there from Penzance if you are able. Leave about a half hour each way for walking and give yourself a couple hours to see Mousehole. Admire the lifeboat house along the way.2) Once there, stroll around the back-alleys and narrow paths between the buildings and take in the charm and...
moreThe main part of Mousehole is a small maze of streets that is best just wandered around on foot. As you wander you should come across a plaque on the wall marking the house of Dolly Pentreath who, it is claimed, was the last person to speak Cornish as her mother tongue.Apparently she was a familiar sight around the area begging coins by jabbering...

ABSTRACT: Paper presents results of the experimental and theoretical research of near-critical fluids in ground-based and microgravity carried out during last three years following a general concept of free convection research, which is based on experimental data on the ground and in microgravity for validation of mathematical models for near-critical fluids. New ground-based experimental results with the use of "Alice-1" instrument, which was on "MIR" station and returned on the ground, are discussed. Models and codes for free convection near-critical fluids are considered on the basis of the unsteady Navier–Stokes equations with thermoacoustic filtering, full unsteady Navier–Stokes equations and Boussinesque approach which is used for calibration. Examples of the thermal type of the unsteady flow on the ground and in microgravity and average convective motions observed in microgravity are discussed.Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science. 01/2002;

oh, how I love you in the evening, when we are sleeping.
welp I drew porn. (with the help of porn reference because how the fuck do bodies bend, seriously.)
regardless, I was reading about Greeks and gay, oiled men all day for history. clearly this means I should draw two (not Greek) men going at it for my boyfriend on our nine month anniversary, right. right.
so yeah. Spain and Turkey going at it, hell yeah. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT even though this is the laziest shading ever, honey, sorry.
Update: Changed the colour of the background and added the missing signature
I just needed to get the UKFr out of my system and somehow cheer myself up without succeeding very well.
Hope you enjoy it though ;)

Entrepreneur Profile
Janet Tam, Co-Founder of Noll & Tam Architects
- Emily Fancher
Biggest mistake: There's always a moment in every project, either in construction or in the throes of design, but in the end it always works out. Sometimes in retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have delegated that to a project manager. I should have been more engaged so I could anticipate an issue before it happened. You have to go back and do damage control.
Smartest move: My partner and I, Chris Noll, started as a strong partnership, but we moved from that to a firm mentality and developed another ring of leadership in our future.
Work routine
Most challenging task: I'm an introvert so focusing on business development and being seen and understood is my challenge.
Favorite task: Sitting and designing a building or a part of a building.
Least favorite task: Daily business-related items, like making sure expenses and fees are balanced.
Biggest frustration: Making sure that as principals we are rainmakers. That's our job, and it feels like a big responsibility to keep everyone employed. It's on our shoulders to bring in the job.
Source of support in a business crisis: My husband who is also an architect (but not employed by the firm).
Key goal yet to achieve: A commitment as a firm on the general level to create buildings that are more sustainable. We're trying to meet the 2030 challenge, which is to create net zero or carbon neutral buildings by 2030.
First move with capital windfall: Build our own office.
Five-year plan: I'd like to get back to where we were before the recession, which is a little bit bigger.

She screams at her adversary, showing him that she's no longer going to keep her mouth shut.
Like thunder, her voice will be heard.
Katy have sang about a lightning bolt in Firework. Meta-wise, the thunder has finally arrived.
