The Big Story this morning from the AP:
Since the 9/11 attacks, the NYPD has opened at least a dozen "terrorism enterprise investigations" into mosques, according to interviews and confidential police documents. The TEI, as it is known, is a police tool intended to help investigate terrorist cells and the like.
Many TEIs stretch for years, allowing surveillance to continue even though the NYPD has never criminally charged a mosque or Islamic organization with operating as a terrorism enterprise.
The documents show in detail how, in its hunt for terrorists, the NYPD investigated countless innocent New York Muslims and put information about them in secret police files. As a tactic, opening an enterprise investigation on a mosque is so potentially invasive that while the NYPD conducted at least a dozen, the FBI never did one, according to interviews with federal law enforcement officials.
These revelations are part of a new book by AP reporters Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman on NYPD spying.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly quickly responded on "Morning Joe" by attacking the reporters' credibility--"they're hyping a book" that "will be a fair amount of fiction"-- but not directly disputing that mosques were investigated as terrorist organizations.

Nope. Nothing Ken Ham says will convince me that dinosaurs piled onto Noah's Ark.
Ham, president of Answers in Genesis and founder of the Creation Museum, where lightning struck last week and injured a staffer, is used to fighting an uphill battle against science. Unlike many Christians who actually have scientific expertise, Ham and his organization argue that evolution doesn't explain the origins of life and that the sun and the Earth are only about 6,000 years old.
But his recent statement in the spot "What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs," which can be heard in the above video, doesn't just challenge scientific understandings. It defies logic.
Via HuffPost:
"Evolution has claimed dinosaurs evolved over 200 million years ago, that nobody ever lived with them," Ham says in the ad. "But the Bible gives a different history. God tells us that he created all land animals the same day he created man, about 6,000 years ago. What's more, there are even dinosaurs on Noah's Ark because God told Noah to take pairs of every land animal."
Let's start with the fact that the Bible makes no mention of dinosaurs. Anywhere. Not just in the account of Noah's Ark. That, though, could be said of zebras and ferrets and koala bears.
But logically how are we going to reconcile anything, and certainly two of it, the size of a dinosaur being on the Ark?
The Ark was massive--300 cubits (or about 137 meters) by 50 cubits by 30 cubits. But a brontosaurus along is 23 meters long; the longest dinosaur was almost triple that length. A few dinosaurs alone would fill the whole thing.
And Ham should know that: A full-size replica of the Ark is planned for the Creation Museum.
Turns out, also, this isn't a new statement from Ham, just a new radio ad. In fact, it was mentioned in news reports when Answers in Genesis announced the creation of the Creation Museum. And it then generated responses like this:
"Dinosaurs lived in the Garden of Eden, and Noah's Ark? Give me a break," said Kevin Padian, curator at the University of California Museum of Paleontology in Berkeley and president of National Center for Science Education, an Oakland group that supports teaching evolution. "For them, 'The Flintstones' is a documentary."
Christians could reasonably disagree on what Genesis really says about creation (e.g., six days or six eras, all at once or evolving over time). But it's difficult for me to imagine many of my co-religionists believing that Noah piled a couple tyrannosauruses and friends on the Ark and riding it out with them for 150 days.

In a long anticipated decision, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled today that a photographer has not First Amendment protection against a state law that forbids her from refusing service to a potential client on the basis of sexuality. The case is Elane Photography v. Willock, and it's been kicking around since 2006, first with a complaint to the New Mexico Human Rights Commission and then up and down the state courts. And the opinion is going to be seen by conservatives as the next stone on the path to anti-religious tyranny.
You can read the full opinion here. The relevant portion, though, for religious folks is the First Amendment free speech discussion.
There the court focuses on the fact that the law permits a photographer to publicly speak out against same-sex unions and homosexuality -- for example, in a banner headline on their website -- and finds therefore that the law does not compel or restrict protected speech. As I said on Twitter, there are two major problems with this rationale.
The first is that it minimizes the speech component of conduct. It's cliche, but actions do speak louder than words. And First Amendment jurisprudence recognizes this. But the New Mexico Supreme Court overlooks it.
The second is a point that Eugene Volokh, my First Amendment professor, made in an amicus brief: "wedding photographers (and other speakers) have a First Amendment right to choose what expression they create, including by choosing not to photograph same-sex commitment ceremonies." Photographers are expressive -- indeed, they automatically receive copyright protection, which is much narrower in the speech it covers than the First Amendment -- and a photographer's decisions regarding what goes into each photo matter. Not only the arrangement and the lighting, but the subject of each photo. In other words, creating civil liability for a photographer who refuses to shoot a gay ceremony actually does create a speech compulsion.
Ken White at Popehat has a thoughtful post analyzing the opinion. Of particular interest is his discussion of Justice Bosson's concurring opinion, in which the justice says that, despite the pain this result will cause the owners of Elane Photography, "compromise is part of the glue that holds us together as a nation, the tolerance that lubricates the varied moving parts of us as a people." To that, White responds:
Whether or not you agree with Justice Bosson's conclusion, I think it's important that he is explicitly recognizing that these laws -- like so many others -- involve some sort of intrusion into personal liberty of which we should be aware. You may believe that the intrusion is justified, or you may not, but our discussion of the subject is incomplete and even dishonest without that recognition.
The religion angle here should be obvious.
This is unlike court rulings that have taken prayer out of school, limited the teaching of creation and required interfaith surroundings of a municipal nativity scene. It also unlike courts ruling that a state must recognize same-sex marriage or the U.S. Supreme Court striking down DOMA. (All of which I think reach the right result.) The former opinions protected against the governmental promotion of religion and the latter extended equal protection of the laws to gay and lesbian couples.
But this opinion goes much further. It's about private, not public, actors. And it will be remembered by some as telling people who believe homosexuality is a sin that they need to do more than tolerate other beliefs and actions; they need to actually celebrate them.
"It is," as Justice Bossom wrote, "the price of citizenship."

The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, caused a bit of a stir yesterday after he was reported to say that hearing western Christians claim to be persecuted makes him "very uneasy" and suggested that these Christians "grow up."
Williams' general point was that being made fun of for, say, believing in creation in the United States is not remotely comparable to being murdered for following Jesus. As The Telegraph reported Williams saying:
"Persecution is not being made to feel mildly uncomfortable.
"I am always very uneasy when people sometimes in this country or the United States talk about persecution of Christians or rather believers.
"I think we are made to feel uncomfortable at times. We're made to feel as if we're idiots - perish the thought!
"But that kind of level of not being taken very seriously or being made fun of; I mean for goodness sake, grow up.
"You have to earn respect if you want to be taken seriously in society.
"But don't confuse it with the systematic brutality and often murderous hostility which means that every morning you get up wondering if you and your children are going to make it through the day.
"That is different, it's real. It's not quite what we're facing in Western society."
But was his general premise correct?
Let's start with the War on Christmas. It never happened.
The ending of school prayer and limitations on teaching creation over evolution? Those are very real, but they only apply in the public school setting, as our Constitution long has required (even if courts did not recognize this until relatively recently in the nation's history). Even then state legislatures likely have some flexibility to teach both evolution and creation if the primary purpose of teaching both is not to promote religion.
And violence against believers? There is some in the United States, but in recent history the well-documented incidents haven't been against Christians. Probably the most notable of these involve assaults of Muslims after 9/11 and attacks on Jews and other religious minorities by skinheads.
However, the FBI statistics show that Christians are not immune from anti-religious crimes. For example, of the 1,480 victims of anti-religious hate crimes in 2011, roughly 9 percent were Catholic or Protestant. That's a lot fewer than for anti-Jewish crimes (63.2 percent) and anti-Muslim crimes (12.5 percent), but it's not negligible.
In other words, Rowan Williams is both right and wrong. Persecution of western Christians is nothing like it is in other parts of the world -- neither in pervasiveness nor consequences. But it also is not nonexistent; it can be much worse than just being made to feel an idiot. Perish the thought.

I've probably never been more stressed out then when I was entering my senior year of college. Two major moments were fast approaching: I was going to propose to my girlfriend and I was about to embark on a career in journalism (assuming someone would hire me and that was incredibly uncertain). The counsel I received from many friends was to pray about it. And I did.
But I've never been one to just ask God to tell me which direction I should head next. And that's what makes stories like this one so frustrating to read. Via NPR:
A leap of faith that sent an Arizona family bound for the South Pacific in a sailboat has returned them in an airplane after a harrowing ordeal at sea that saw them adrift and nearly out of food in one of the remotest stretches of ocean on the planet.
Hannah Gastonguay, 26, and her husband, Sean, 30, were fed up with abortion, homosexuality, taxes and the "state-controlled church" and so "decided to take a leap of faith and see where God led us," she told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. With them were Sean's father and the couple's two daughters, one 3 years old and the other an infant.
A few weeks into their ultimately 91 days at sea, the Gastonguays encountered "squall after squall after squall" that damaged their boat. Originally on a heading for the archipelago nation of Kiribati near the international dateline, they changed course to the Marquesas Islands, but were unable to reach them either.
At which point the Gastonguays began drifting in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Starving, they got a reprieve when a Canadian cargo ship spotted them and provided food. They later got a lift from a Venezuelan fishing boat.
The trouble I have with this story is not the way it's being reported. (Though I wonder what my GetReligion friends think.) It's with the wherever-God-takes-us attitude of the seafarers.
An analogy would be to the Gospel of wealth, which I've written critically about here and here. And just as giving money to God is not an investment plan -- no matter what some televangelist says -- forcing him to captain your ship is not a prudent move.
That is not a "leap of faith." It's stupidity.

The Reza Aslan-Fox News controversy. Is that still a thing?
Two weeks ago, this interview attracted global attention when BuzzFeed asked "Is This The Most Embarassing Interview Fox News Has Ever Done?" Considering other potential candidates for the title, Fox News' interview of Aslan would have to be a real whopper. To be sure, it's a bad interview, but it can't be the worst. (Watch above for yourself if you haven't already done so (again and again)).
Despite the offense Aslan, a religion scholar, clearly took to the line of questions, I'm sure he didn't mind BuzzFeed's typical hyperbole, or the controversy itself. His new book, "Zealot," which was the reason Fox News invited him on, spent last week at No. 5 on USA Today's best seller list--six weeks before it will be released. The buzz and backlash did more for "Zealot" than a major marketing campaign typically could.
I've been following the Fox News fallout and Aslan ascendency since the interview occurred. (And was following Aslan's work long before.) But another move, this time from Miami to Manhattan, prevented me from chiming in until now. Please excuse the indulgence.
What seemed to irritate most people about the interview was host Lauren Green's first question, and specifically how that question was framed. After explaining that Aslan's new book, which posits a new historical Jesus, has generated controversy because it "calls into question some of the core tenets of Christianity," Green says:
"You're a Muslim, so why did you right a book about the founder of Christianity?"
There are a lot of immediate responses Aslan could have had to this question. The one that would have squelched the Fox News fire before it began would have been: "Well, you see, Jesus is an important figure in Islam too. He was a messenger of God. A prophet. Just not The Prophet." But Aslan's response belied a clear preparation for this question. It suggested that he knew what he was getting into when he agreed to go on Fox News:
"Well, to be clear, I am a scholar of religions with four degrees, including one in the New Testament ... who also just happens to be a Muslim."
From there, it gets worse for Fox News, and better for Aslan (discussed a bit with The Hollywood Reporter, which typically doesn't do Q&As with academics). To me, the key isn't the host's interest in Aslan's religion, but that she insists it divests him of the ability to fairly write a history of Jesus.
Aslan's opening response is spot on. He is a scholar, and scholars write about topics on which they are experts. Personal beliefs obviously shape a scholar's perspective -- just as they shape a reporter's understanding and framing of a story. But there is no personal belief requirement, and there shouldn't be. That wouldn't be scholarship; it would be advocacy.
This does, however, beg a question tha Fox News would have been better off asking: Does "Zealot" meet the standards of religious scholarship?
Elizabeth Castelli, Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Religion at Barnard College, answered that yesterday in The Nation (which may have a slightly different ideological baseline than Fox News:
Simply put, Zealot does not break new ground in the history of early Christianity. It isn't clear that any book framed as a "the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth" could, in fact, do so. Indeed, if it had not been thrust into the limelight by an aggressive marketing plan, the painfully offensive Fox News interview, and Aslan's own considerable gifts for self-promotion, Zealot would likely have simply been shelved next to myriad other examples of its genre, and everyone could get back to their lives. As it is, the whole spectacle has been painful to watch. And as it is with so many spectacles, perhaps the best advice one might take is this: Nothing to see here, people. Move along.
Well, now that I've had my chance to chime in, I'm going to take Castelli's advice and recommend you do, too.

Via Sports-Kings:
Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who contributes to various charities in New Orleans, wasn't so charitable earlier this month when paying for his dinner bill. Thedirty.com obtained a receipt from Del Mar Rendezvous restaurant that allegedly belonged to Brees with an alarmingly modest tip for his waitress.
If it's true, a $3 tip pretty much means this young lady might have done plenty wrong. Still, Brees is one of the highest paid athletes in all of sports.
Poor-tipping athletes seems to be going around. Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera had a similar issue.
Hey, who am I the say how Brees spends his money? If true, I'm sure he was justified for doing what he did. But if he is in the wrong, well, then shame on him. It's not easy being a waitress. Spread the love Drew!
And it appears it may get a bit rougher for this waitress. An update on The Dirty reports that she may be fired over the incident, even though she apparently is not the person who passed along the receipt.
Come on people!!! I will tell you this if Drew Brees who is and has been a well traveled person for years has always I assure you, has eaten out and now you bring up 1 case were the tip wasn't up to par, well my thoughts on that is probably the service equal the tip, meaning that this young lady that day was having a bad day and was not on the top of her game, well Drew has those days they just come mainly on Sunday so what I can add to this is Waiters and Waitress's remember practice your craft to each and everyone because you never know who will come in and who is paying the bill, if you want a good and satisfying tip then do the work and receive the benefits. Just because Drew Brees has and makes a good income does that mean he has to give to others that don't hustle and take serious there craft as he does. My youngest daughter is a waitress and I'll tell you that she hustles like everyone is that one customer that's going to pay her bill for the month and yes she is entitled to a bad day or customer but remember and this is what I tell her if you snooze you loose. Stay on your toes. Better Luck next time Ms. Waitress.. bs
Reality is the majority of highly paid professional athletes would be working minimum wage jobs if they were working in the real world. Brees is a head case.
He left her $3 on the ticket and $10 in cash, so that she wouldn't have to claim all of it on taxes.
I guess these waitresses and waiters haven't learned that if they post a picture of a celebrity's receipt they might not have a job. that's his business if he left a $3 tip she might deserve it. Monique (New Orleans)
there needs to be proof that the waitress posted the receipt.
If she gets fired for this without proof then she should sue the pants off the owner and management.
I deliver pizza for a living and even though the food gets to the customer hot and in a reasonable amount of time I can expect to be stiffed on tips 20% of the time. A lot of people think that the 3.00 delivery charge that is applied to the bill is going to the driver, it does not. our fuel reimbursement does not cover all the fuel we burn let alone cover wear and tear to the vehicle or maintenance or insurance or even the cost of the cell phone we are using for the business.
all these expenses add up and im sure you are thinking why don't you itemize on your taxes well that is time consuming and costly and as an employee I wont get back as much as the company would if they filed, just another example of how the people who are in customer service get screwed. -
there is proof her name is on the receipt
I like Drew Brees, but this is not a good look. I can't help but wonder what the comments would be if this were a minority player. At least Drew is getting the benefit of the doubt. I guess he makes about $20 million a year and this is what he does? I thought he was better than that, even if the service was mediocre. Less than 5%?????? Wow.
it was a togo order idiots... heard he left cash too...

Bill Clinton was a proven liar. I have no respect for him. I wish I never voted for him but I was in my 20's, first time ever to vote for President, and I was young and dumb.
Thankfully, I got that liberalism out of my system once I matured and grew up.
That is so ironic because I would make that exact same comment about Ronald Reagan (my first vote) and maturing and growing up to be a liberal.

I am struggling to understand why The Lebanon Enterprise chose to publish a guest column that served no purpose other than to allow an individual with an obvious agenda to string together several disjointed ramblings and baseless and unwarranted rants and personal attacks. I am referring, "of course" (to borrow her phrase - see below) to the Nov. 14 guest column from Donna Kapfhammer.
By Kevin George
I read the guest column by Donna Kapfhammer, ironically on the anniversary of my mother's 93rd birthday. My father, Dr. Eli George, was Hyleme's brother and my mother and Aunt Nonie were as close as sisters. I spent many summer days playing all day with my cousin, Hyleme, Jr. so I know a little about which I speak. And why is it significant that I refer to my mother. Anyone who knew Gloria George would know that she was never subservient to my father or anyone else for that matter.
On Friday, our country will mark the 50th anniversary of one of its most tragic events: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Like the attack on Pearl Harbor before it and 9/11 after it, Nov. 22, 1963, is one of a handful of dates in history where those old enough to remember it will never forget where they were and what they were doing.
One of the more persistent challenges facing our country is finding ways to reduce the number of people killed or injured in a traffic accident. In one sense, we have come a long way. Four decades ago, for example, the number of highway fatalities regularly topped 50,000 a year, but the figures for 2011 were the lowest the United States has seen since 1949, a testament to tougher laws, safer roads, more focused enforcement and better technology in the cars and trucks we drive.
By Donna Kapfhammer
I was horrified the day my husband came home for lunch and never returned to work as the editor of The Lebanon Enterprise. Incredibly, it took 36 years for me to realize that we left America's marijuana capitol. When I was 24, I married and moved from Elizabethtown to Lebanon in 1977. My husband, Ron, was the new editor of The Lebanon Enterprise in Marion County.

yes or no?
yes or no?
I can't answer this question truthfully, as I've never listened to either show.
My comments are based on my opinion only.
It is better. Today Will said they know they have to watch what they say. He admitted that they got shit that would take down the whole show. That show would be the best show on the air. Lots and lots of wig talk I imagine
Jason's said to his brother who is your douche of the week and jason's bro said...HOWARD!!! LOL.. then jason and will were like whoa whoa whoa and hung up.
It's a better version of the wrap up show in that it doesn't have Joh Heim and Baba Booey on it. I would rather listen to BOR than the Stern show most days.
Stern Show these days is such a GIGANTIC PICE OF PIG SHIT that it's not hard to have a show that's better than it.
It's shit.
No because it just seems like it's uncensored yet it's highly censored. You're being sold a bill of goods.
When's does it replay ?
I voted yes.
I realized I was listening and it wasn't just background noise . That hasn't happened in a long time.

A big THANK YOU to all who made the effort to try and run a meet this year. Your efforts are indeed appreciated, even if mother nature ensured there was no result for this year. I'll be counting the days until the nextmeeting, such is life.
We rolled up at the turnoff at IK around 17:00 Sat. and the road was closed and the meeting cancelled, so I dragged my scurvy companion off to the Flinders Ranges instead for a few days sightseeing, and it was pretty good I have to say. I think the Flinders roads were probably the only outback roads that were open. We exited via Yunta, then home to the east coast. There was a bit of mud about, and everything is glow-in-the-dark green. LOTS of standing water in the paddocks.
My sympathy goes out to those who come from overseas, a lot of effort for little return, but that's the nature of this country. See you next year.

Decided to take a trip to the East coast Yesterday morning, and found myself at The Holy Isle. A beautiful morning with a blue sky and hardly a cloud to be seen. As the tide was still on it's way out it gave me this viewpoint of the Castle. My thanks once again to everyone for your wonderful comments on my previous images, they are always much appreciated.

Super composition. Love the foreground interest made by the rusty tie-up ring.
Bill, a very nice balanced composition with super sharp detail throught, I very much like the rock formation that runs the along the line of your shot it has an unusual profile to it, the detail in the rusty old ring in the f/g is very nice and ok I will say it again.........super lens.........
A well balanced composition, Bill. Bright sunlight but you've retained colour and detail well. Lovely image.
beautiful detail textures and tones, love the rusty ring in the foreground adds a little something special

The annual Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show held over the weekend saw Maritimo launch their new brand look and feel along with some highly anitcipated new models. We were proud to be on hand to celebrate the launch with the Maritimo team and see the first pieces of the rebranding roll out. Following on from our international and national research, TUSK developed a brand strategy and customer focused creative direction. The refreshed look and feel aims to differentiate the brand from the competitors and position Maritimo as the pinnacle for true boaters.
With more new models planned for release in 2012, a series of boat shows exhibitions and events, and a new brand positioning, we're looking forward to some exicting times ahead.

Have not got my shipment yet, but figured I would just start with some basics like my workouts and standard sups. In case it is not obvious, this is a sponsored log in that Taurus Nutrition supplied their product and I will be supplying the experience and description there of.
I run a 4 day split, upper, lower, upper, lower, usually on Sundays, Tuesdays. Thursdays and Fridays. Tend to do cardio 3 times a week, Sundays, Mondays Thursdays. Either HIIT or 5 stage hills profile.
Will be finishing up a run of erase and alpha T-2 next week.
Standard sups that I will continue are: Orange Triad, Flax Seed/Fish Oil, Myofusion Protein.
Dietary wise, I tend to run between 2400 and 2800 cals, rotating carb target depending on the days load. May go to 150 ( or a bit higher) on deadlift and squat days, try to keep it below 125 on upper body days and around 75 carbs on off/cardio only days. Fat target is 130-150, protein generally runs 215 - 260 depending on day.
My first log entry will include basics such as taste, ease of mixing, focus, drive, energy and endurance and any other observations.
Any more experienced loggers are more than welcome to provide input as to what else to add. If you sub or just browse, feel free to ask any questions if you are wondering something I have not covered.
Have been on SuperPump 250 and Lit up. Would not say I am a "stim junkie" but I do like some extra motivation when in the dungeon.
If you can't tell, I am excited by this opportunity and want to thank all the great peeps at Taurus Nutrition for giving me this chance.
Hope you all enjoy the ride it is gonna get WYKED!
______________________________ ______________________________ _______________
Ok, after about 3 weeks on Wyked, I feel I have gotten a good feel of what I can expect from it. I have mixed anywhere form 1-4 scoops in this grand experiment.
Taste: 10/10 - Hands down the best tasting PWO I have ever had, great lemonade flavor even when mixed with BCAA or with multiple scoops.
Mixability:10/10 - Dissolves easily in water by merely shaking the bottle I used. No lumping or clumping. The BCAA did foam some but did dissolve after about 15 - 20 minutes. (Not the Wyked's problem at all.)
Energy: 9/10 - I initially thought the energy was good but not exceptional although not beaten by other PWO's I have tried, Wyked held it's own quite nicely by comparison. But then as I considered other factors such as no GEEKED OUT feeling (even on 4 scoops), and no CRASH EVER, I felt these other considerations deserved to be factored in.
Focus:10/10 - Actually tended to get to my next set a bit faster when taking this. There was very little on my mind except killing that next set or movement.
Endurance: 10/10 - This is one area where this stuff really shines. My cardio endurance increased to a degree that the first time I noted it, I was amazed. (read the log if you want more details). There were often times after work outs that I wanted to keep lifting but only self discipline or not wanting to overtrain or needing to get home got me to pack it in.
Strength: 8/10 - another one that took my by suprise, as I do not generally associate PWO's with Strenght increase. None the less, we saw improvements with current PR's on my bench (280X2) and squat (405) and getting my dead lift over the 375 hump coming back from 3 weeks off of pulling due to an injury. Was very pleased with this.
Overall, great taste, effective and lives up to Taurus Nutrition's claims. Think they have a winner here. If you followed the log at all, you already know that I purchased more Wyked and other Taurus Products. Simply put, I am impressed with these folks and their work.
Thanks again to Taurus and all their great reps for giving me this opportunity and coming along for the journey.

Dating & Single Living
I don't know how to post on this forum...it's all new to me...my comment is that it's very discouraging when i send brief introductory e mails to new members i do not get a reply back...makes me wonder what is going on...why is it so hard for folks to at least respond back...I've been on this website for four months now and not one person has replied back...it's really discouraging and I don't want to quit...my profile is really nice...I'm a wonderful person to get to know so why the 'silent treatment'...responses anyone please.
Why should I feel discouraged... why should the shadows come... why should my heart feel lonely...
Welcome to the world of online dating and to the forums There is a 50/50 chance that someone will return your message or emote, the odds are not in our favor, that's the nature of the beast. It could be a they lack manners or it could be they are not paid subscribers, they may lack interest or enthusiasm, a multitude of reasons exist.
Elle you are an AMAZING ARTIST....we should have a ARTIST EXHIBIT FORUM on CM
In its present configuration CM makes people of the same sex feel awkward clicking on a same-sex profile to see an artists work via their scrapbook
If we had an artists forum (that Elle should moderate) that did not show as a profile view when showing work - that would kick CM up a notch
FYI - I would love to see you photograph some of Austin's music acts - you would be very good at it
I am seeing the Canadian band Anvil tonight - these are the guys from the documentary film some years ago
See Solange - I would have never seen Elle's art if it was not for your post - this is how CM works
Cheers for Christ,
Ehhhh Hemmmm... There's alot of artists on CM.. Sergio did a thread recently about it..
For some of us our art takes more unconventional forms. In addition to painting I make one of a kind hats and jewelry.. And..I'm already a moderator..
When I read the first bolded statement above, Dawn, I felt --it never occurred to me to connect reading a same-sex profile with somehow expressing romantic interest in them. Eep! Made me sad.
I can relate to contacting someone with some questions, and they totally ignore you (me). My questions were simple, innocent ones, something about where they live or a particular hobby they mentioned or photo posted....and NO REPLY AT ALL. If they are free members, then at least they can send a smile emote--they couldn't add their own message, but this can signal someone like me that they are non-paid site users. And I would know and go on my merry way, instead of perhaps wondering what the bell is wrong with me that a man can't even answer a simple question. Then again, I am just a picture and a number to them, not necessarily a breathing human being made in the image & likeness of God who bleeds just as they do.
It really hurts the most when you write a long message to them and they delete, like what happened to me on another site. It was a free site so he could have responded but chose not to. If he wasn't interested he could have said no thanks. Because of that I am reluctant to contact men again.
I know how you feel I just paid for a 3 month membership and I haven't even had anyone look at my profile since Jan 30. I'm beginning to think I just wasted my money. Anyway I keep sending emails and smiles and hope someone has the courtesy to reply. I only want to begin a friendship with one man (I don't want all of them LOL) that could lead to more. I feel better knowing that maybe there are no reponses because the emails are going to someone who may not be a paid memeber.
I'm getting men looking at my profile but most haven't contacted me and it's frustrating. Are they free members, just curious about my profile, or interested but not enough to contact me? A few of them were what I wasn't open to dating so I am glad most of them didn't contact me, but others seem like good choices.
Thanks for having the courage to cover this topic. I really think there are alot of dimensions to this subject as well as alot of good advice here. You ARE a beautiful person. My take on this is that the best thing you can do is stand out for yourself, as yourself. Recently,a friend I had thought might have romantic intentions, and I talked. He said he wasn't sure if he wanted to be married. I backed up and said "maybe you haven't met the right woman". Then as he was walking out of the room he said "Or maybe I am afraid". I backed up again and said, "Maybe it is all three". I wish instead I had asked him what he was afraid of. I realize I am scaired too. I am afraid of being rejected. Most men that I know are afraid of faiing too. In a way my fear is that I am not desirable. Our presentation in both roles is basic and yet greatly based on our imaginings of others responses. I am not what I think of as flirty but I like to have fun. What I have learned is that when I am my funny self, /i am happy. Others accuse me of being flirty when I am that way. So be it. All is well for me. If a man doesn't respond to me when I am happy, then so be it. I have found myself in a win/win situation.I cannot control someone elses behavior. I can control my own( I am getting so grown up}. Sure I have lonely times and wish I could make a different connection, however i am still learning and that is a good sign that I am open to being available. And that is for me, my single experience. The only difference I can see in a relationships in a win/win situation would be a point that there would be moments of being valued by others .. and isnt that why I am here waiting while I learn to stand out for myself and for others.
I get the sense people over think. I would truly just like to develop a group of single friends to talk to and go out with. Instead on a Friday night I am on the computer. Friendship and companionship is so important. If a relationship goes further .....that's great - but, in the meantime friendships and companionship warm the soul. Thank God I do have some awesome friends....it's just many of them are married.
That is my number one pet peeve- no reply. That hurts worse than someone just saying they're not interested. Especially on a site for Catholics. But don't be discouraged, because I have met good people on here. It just takes time. And I've been on here, on and off, for 9 years, so I know what I'm talking about.

Hey, easy, Greg! I can hear your slobbering all the way out in Arizona!Take it into a private room, pal, ok?
Polling oversampled Harlem and Greenwich Village.
I could have told you that. Electing Pinky Bloomberg three times is a heavy clue to poor judgment in the Big Apple.
I live in NYC and it isn´t like the rest of America, I assure you. It is the center of the elite sheep and thir acolytes. You can talk to any one of them and they repeat what they hear on CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC. They don´t open their minds to any other possibilty, but to the way they think. Alas! The other 19% whisper low in the bagel shops and the privacy of their apartments where they are safe from the assault of the lemmings.The only hopeful sign I have heard from one of them is that he knows MSNBC is a joke and Chris Mathews and the rest of the trained seals are ridiculous buffoons. Gee, even one of them got that right.
The comments are pretty good after the article.
Most despots usually get around 99% of the vote ... Dear Leader(US) isn´t that good of a despot, he can only steal 81% of the stupid liberal vote in Nooo Yerk City.
Big F---ing deal. new york city has backed every so-called liberal, socialist, marxist, communist democRAT leader for the last 10 to 15 years. The city, new york and new jersey get screwed big time and all they can do is rejoyce about being treated like crap. If we are stupid enough to look to them for leadership, we richley deserve to go on the trash heap of history.
Maybe a lot of Republicans have left NYC with all the high taxes.
I don´t think THIS nyc would survive another 9/11.
I was born there - and still enjoy visiting - mostly for the museums. But I´ve caught up on my quota of ´´gay musicals´´ and thus avoid Broadway if the wife lets me. Besides, Ellen´s Stardust Diner and the cast of aspiring singers often provides a much better show than what you get via TKTS. And the food is reasonable - for NYC.
For the record, I will never, ever, again support military action to avenge the deaths of New Yorkers. The next time a plane flies into a New York sky scrapper, I will be the first to ask, "why do they hate us?"New York could burn to the ground and I would consider it to be urban renewal.
CR*P, now that the cat is out of the bag, what self respecting terrorist would want to blow up this den of stupidity? They will avoid even denting this nest of inequity and head out where people really think. Look out Yellow Creek, Texas...
So, is this the official count from Honest John´s "You Cast ´Em -- We ´Count´ ´Em" election service?#14: It´s s-o-o-o much easier to paint with a broad brush [and sometimes foul brush -- per #7] than to think and discriminate. There are landmarks, museums, and historic sites galore in NYC to be preserved and treasured.
"Lucy! You got some 'splainin' to do!"
These numbers indicate either voter fraud or voter stupidity; there is no other answer.By the way #4, we have the same problem here in red state Kansas. Many people only get their news from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and it is gospel to them. If I turn the breakroom tv to Fox you would think the devil himself had walked into the room to steal their souls.
I think it´s a misprint. They meant that he has 114% support. Acorn is active there.
More evidence that New Yorkers are idiots. I live 30 minutes away and only go into NYC if I absolutely have to, usually for the doctors (which are the best in the world for now!)
Been to NYC on two occasions. My takeaway from that experience is that 1) living 900 miles south is close enough 2) more of them need to move from here back home
Clown cars in a circus tent...fools....low-info know nothings....yuppies....lefty snobs......thats most of New York, so no wonder. Still, admiring such a foreign exchange student with low accomplishment is a bit too much for the rest of us, so wise up you dolts in New York, you´re part of the problem!
Sure it wasn´t 130% for Obama, like in some swing districts? If election reform isn´t addressed, we are doomed; The progressives are voting from the entire nat´l database..
Non-Hispanic Blacks? Non-Hispanic Asians? What kind of creatures are those, Greg?
There are mainly only three types of critters who live in NYC (with a few wonderful exceptions like those who can be found here)... 1) The elite, wealthy, know-it-all snobs who want to be (or are already) part of the ruling class and think they know best for everyone else; 2) the ghetto poor who have been subjected and shaped by leftist policies, government schools, and massive doses of false propaganda for several decades--ignorant low info voters; and 3) the artsy types, students, foreigners (incl. illegal and legal aliens), and various others that are cliquish and set in their own little worlds and don´t associate with others who think differently.
81% seems about right when you consider that NYC is a hotbed for parasites living off the producers.
81 reasons not to visit NYC.
I´m with #26; monuments and museums can be rebuilt and refilled, a Republic is FAR more delicate and needs be saved REGARDLESS of the cost to ´buildings´.

Right now the island is mostly empty; although a few families live on the island, there's not so much as a village, although the recent addition of a shrimp fishery means that's probably not far off. The only current accommodation is Koh Thmei Resort, which opened in December 2010. Their owners believe that they were allowed to open because of their eco-friendly policies — they power it by day using solar panels and have a complex natural water filtration system. You'll often find the local police drinking beers there.

Inhabit Rhythm Ailanthus Suede Throw Pillow
they make the room Cathryn from Camarillo, CA– Verified Buyer We bought four -- two greens, one white and a rectangular pillow in orange. They make a dramatic statement, are well made and comfortable. Lots of bang for the buck. They have an Asian feel which is ideal in a modern bedroom. |
Nice throw pillow but little expensive Amit from NY Over all quality is great but for [$] I found it little expensive. |
Vibrant colors! Sindy from Chesapeake VA– Verified Buyer This pillow is very well made and has such beautiful vibrant colors. |
Almost perfect... Amanda from Las Vegas– Verified Buyer Beautiful pillow. I wish the front was silk too. |
Great pillow Andrew from East Bay, CA– Verified Buyer The color and design was as pictured. The material was soft and durable. The inside filling is great. The pillow maintains it shape. The only thing that I would be cautious about is using it for your head support because of the light color - it may stain easily. Overall, it is a well designed and crafted pillow. |
Excellent, stylish Golden Girl from Cincinnati, OH I love that the pillows look exactly as they do in the pictures. Quality is excellent. I am very pleased with my purchase. |
Little bit washed out Elii from New Jersey– Verified Buyer I bought this pillow with the brown bed linen collection to add some accent colors and when it arrived it had seemed to me that the colours are more vibrant on the internet picture than on the actual pillow. I like the back of the pillow better, even the material is nicer than on the front. But in general it is a nice pillow... |

Drawing & Painting from Nature
Traditional and Expressive techniques
Here's a fun class to gain experience and develop technique in drawing and painting using nature as our subject matter. Working in a variety of drawing media and watercolours we will explore technique, composition and colour working from, and with, Nature.
The natural form has a an inherent rhythm whether it's sky, sand, leaves, fur, flames. You can capture that rhythm in your drawing and painting, by tuning in to what we and all creation have in common. Your charcoal is burnt wood, your brush is animal hair, your paper is cotton fibre, your paint is ground earth. The art is in letting the natural ways of our materials interact with your natural curiousity about the world.
