Federal judge finds Missouri ban unconstitutional
Timothy Kincaid
November 7th, 2014
A few days ago a state judge found Missouri's anti-gay marriage ban to be a violation of the US Constitution. The ruling is under appeal at the state Supreme Court, but is not stayed in the interim.
Today a federal judge, Ortrie D Smith, has come to the same conclusion.
Smith has stayed the Federal ruling until it passes appeal, but the state ruling continues to allow for marriage licenses to be issued. There is some uncertainty as to whether the state ruling applies to the entire state, but at present those Missouri couples wishing to marry may get their license in St. Louis and have it recognized throughout the state.
In Other News — Sun Rises, NOM Takes Credit
Jim Burroway
November 5th, 2014
NOM puffs its chest over yesterday's elections:
"Marriage won an overwhelming victory last night," said Brian Brown, president of NOM. "In red states and blue, candidates who supported marriage as the union of one man and one woman won election and those who didn't were rejected by voters. The Republican Party should take note that their nominees who favored gay 'marriage' were opposed by NOM and they were resoundingly defeated."
A Prediction
Rob Tisinai
November 4th, 2014
A hundred years from now, Christians will proudly recall how they fought for LGBT rights at the beginning of the 21st Century, and if anyone reminds them of Christian opposition to our equality, they will reply, "But that was a FALSE Christianity!" So it happened with slavery, so it will happen with gays.
Welcome Out, Tim Cook
Jim Burroway
October 30th, 2014
The fact that he's gay is probably one of the worst kept secrets — if, indeed, it ever was a secret. The Apple CEO has rarely spoken about anything other than Apple. Unlike his predecessor, Steve Jobs, whose persona and that of Apple's was one and the same, Tim Cook has always been one to stand back and keep the focus on Apple and its products. That probably won't change a whole lot, but this morning, in an essay for Businessweek, Cook removed whatever wisps of ambiguity that may still be out there:
While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven't publicly acknowledged it either, until now. So let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.
Being gay has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the minority and provided a window into the challenges that people in other minority groups deal with every day. It's made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life. It's been tough and uncomfortable at times, but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path, and to rise above adversity and bigotry. It's also given me the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you're the CEO of Apple.
The world has changed so much since I was a kid. America is moving toward marriage equality, and the public figures who have bravely come out have helped change perceptions and made our culture more tolerant. Still, there are laws on the books in a majority of states that allow employers to fire people based solely on their sexual orientation. There are many places where landlords can evict tenants for being gay, or where we can be barred from visiting sick partners and sharing in their legacies. Countless people, particularly kids, face fear and abuse every day because of their sexual orientation.
I don't consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I've benefited from the sacrifice of others. So if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy.
Earlier this week, Cook was in his home state of Alabama where he was being inducted into the Alabama Academy of Honor. In his acceptance speech, he challenged Alabama for its slowness to grant equality to everyone: "As a state, we took too long to steps toward equality. We were too slow on equality for African-Americans. We were too slow on interracial marriage, and we are still too slow for the equality for the LGBT community."
Arizona edges closer to equality
Timothy Kincaid
October 16th, 2014
Today was the deadline for parties to submit their briefs arguing whether or not the Ninth's Circuit's ruling on marriage equality applies to the state of Arizona. Attorney General Tom Horne seems to concede that it does. (AZCentral)
The state's brief argument concedes that the 9th Circuit ruling would apply to Arizona, but says Sedwick should wait to issue his ruling until the 9th Circuit issues a mandate. The mandate is essentially a technical document telling the courts to go forward with the opinion. The 9th Circuit issued a mandate within hours of its original ruling but withdrew it so Idaho could appeal. That appeal is concluded but the 9th Circuit has not yet reissued the mandate.
Plan your Brokeback marriage
Timothy Kincaid
October 16th, 2014
Wyoming, home of the fictional Brokeback Mountain, may get marriage equality as early as Monday. (Casper Star Tribune)
Acknowledging his order could have grave consequences if incorrect, U.S. District Judge Scott W. Skavdahl plans to issue an order by Monday in a case that could legalize same-sex marriage in Wyoming.
The judge said he would consider the arguments and examine a few more issues before making a decision because "the impact of this court's ruling if incorrect" could have grave consequences. Skavdahl said he would issue his ruling by 5 p.m. Monday.
Alaska gets two day stay
Timothy Kincaid
October 15th, 2014
The State of Alaska asked for a stay to its marriage ruling. And by astonishing odds, two of the Ninth Circuit's most conservative judges, Diarmuid O'Scannlain and Jay Bybee, were on the three judge panel deciding the matter. O'Scannlain and Bybee were two of the three judges who would have given Proposition 8 an en banc hearing.
However, things were different this time around.
Bybee sided with judge Marsha Berzon in denying stay at the Ninth Circuit level and in issuing a temporary two day stay for the state to appeal to the Supreme Court in hopes of getting a more permanent stay.
Which means that marriages will not begin first thing tomorrow in The Last Frontier, but rather at noon on Friday.
North Carolina high school bans play because Teh Ghey
Timothy Kincaid
October 15th, 2014
You've never been to Maiden, North Carolina, but your selfies probably have. It's the home of Apple's Cloud data center.
It's also home of some pretty nasty prejudice. (GayStarNews)
The school's principal, Rob Bliss, has released a statement surrounding the outrage.
He said: 'In regards to the request for students to perform the play "Almost Maine," careful review and consideration was given to the contents of this play.
'The play contained sexually-explicit overtones and multiple sexual innuendos that are not aligned with our mission and educational objectives.
'As principal of Maiden High School, I have an obligation to ensure that all material, including drama performances is appropriate and educationally sound for students of all ages.'
And, by "appropriate and educationally sound for students of all ages", Bliss means "ain't got none of Teh Gheys!!"
Almost, Maine is a play containing nine vignettes about love and loss. And yes, stories about love and loss can have "overtones" and "innuendos" that reference sex. Read Shakespeare.
But Almost, Maine is no worse than prime time television and downright tame compared to pretty much any music video. And that isn't, of course, what got Principal Bliss all in a tither. The play's real crime is that one of the nine vignettes includes two men who say they love each other.
And while Almost, Maine is sufficiently age appropriate that in 2010, it was "the most-produced play in North American high schools", it's just too scandalous for places where attitudes like those of Principal Bliss prevail.
The drama students are hoping that a petition can pressure Principal Bliss into allowing them to perform the play and, consequently, their program to survive.
Ron Hart on marriage
Timothy Kincaid
October 14th, 2014
I seldom read something on Christian Post and do anything but shudder. Today I chuckled:
Neither government nor citizens should waste time and energy trying to keep two loving, consenting, committed people from a public acknowledgment of their union. If we were to have a law against allowing a subset of our country to marry, it should be directed squarely at the Kardashians.
Is a couple of lady gym teachers with three cats and a joint checking account really a threat? Are two guys living in a once-blighted neighborhood that becomes gentrified with fixed-up homes and where, before you know it, bistros and bakeries pop up, a problem? How is that damaging to America? Who else is going to adopt twin Chinese girls? Madonna and Angelina Jolie can't take them all.
Marriage at the top of the world
Timothy Kincaid
October 14th, 2014
Although Alaska state law requires a three day wait, Magistrate Mary Treiber waived the requirement and allowed two lesbian couples to marry. Which is a pleasant little story.
But perhaps more interesting is where this happened, the town of Barrow.
Barrow is the northernmost city in the United States, lying above the Arctic Circle and just 1,300 south of the North Pole. The population is less than 5,000.
Congratulations, ladies.

With Idaho, North Carolina and Alaska now liberated from anti-gay marriage laws, we have now crossed the 60% mark in the American population living in the thirty states and the District of Columbia with full marriage equality. If we were the Senate, we could break a filibuster.
Vladimir Putin Can See Gay Marriages From His House
Jim Burroway
October 12th, 2014
The Land of Sarah Palin is now in the marriage equality column. In a surprise summary judgment — the surprise being that it came out on Sunday afternoon local time after having heard oral arguments Friday afternoon –Federal District Judge Timothy Burgess found (PDF: 206KB/25 pages) " that Alaska's ban on same-sex marriage and refusal to recognize same sex marriages lawfully entered in other states is unconstitutional as a deprivation of basic due process and equal protection principles under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."
The ruling comes less than a week after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction over Alaska's Federal Courts, overturned bans in Idaho and Nevada. The ruling takes effect immediately, and there was no stay issued with it. Nonetheless, Gov. Sean Parnell quickly announced that he would try to appeal the decision.
Alaska has a three day waiting period. While couples should be able to get marriage licenses on Monday, marriages may not take place before Thursday.
Did SCOTUS just bless heightened scrutiny?
Timothy Kincaid
October 10th, 2014
When Idaho presented its brief explaining why the Ninth Circuit's ruling overturning the state's ban on same-sex marriage, it focused on one point. Rather than argue the same tired arguments that have lost across the country and which were insufficient to merit certiorari in the Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Circuits, Idaho argued that it was the reasoning used in the Ninth, rather than it's conclusion, which should be reconsidered.
On Tuesday, the Ninth Circuit included in its ruling:
Without the benefit of our decision in SmithKline Beecham Corp. v. Abbott Labs., 740 F.3d 471 (9th Cir. 2014), reh'g en banc denied, 759 F.3d 990 (9th Cir. 2014), the Sevcik district court applied rational basis review and upheld Nevada's laws. Sevcik v. Sandoval, 911 F. Supp. 2d 996 (D. Nev. 2012). After we decided SmithKline, the Latta district court concluded that heightened scrutiny applied to Idaho's laws because they discriminated based on sexual orientation, and invalidated them. Latta v. Otter, No. 1:13-CV-00482-CWD, 2014 WL 1909999, at *14–18 (D. Idaho May 13, 2014). We hold that the Idaho and Nevada laws at issue violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because they deny lesbians and gays who wish to marry persons of the same sex a right they afford to individuals who wish to marry persons of the opposite sex, and do not satisfy the heightened scrutiny standard we adopted in SmithKline.
When the Ninth Circuit decided SmithKline, Abbott Labs chose not to appeal the ruling, specifically because it was their wish to leave the section on heightened scrutiny as precedent and not subject it to potential loss at the Supreme Court. So this assertion by the Ninth has not been considered by the higher court.
Which brings the denial of extended stay by the Supreme Court into a different light. It may be that SCOTUS did not predict any likelihood of Idaho's ban being upheld irrespective of the degree of scrutiny. Or it may mean that SCOTUS sees no likelihood of the Ninth's application of heightened scrutiny being reversed.

U.S. District Court Judge John Sedwick issued an order Thursday night stating he believes this week's appellate court ruling that declared Idaho and Nevada's marriage restrictions unconstitutional applies to Arizona as well. The U.S District Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit said Tuesday that Idaho and Nevada's marriage restrictions violated couples' rights to equal protection under the 14th Amendment.
Sedwick, an Alaska judge who often helps pick up Arizona cases, gave the parties in two lawsuits challenging Arizona's law until Thursday to file briefs arguing how the 9th Circuit decision does or does not apply.

"Here the Sovereignty of the United States of America Was First Acknowledged"
White puffs of gun smoke over a turquoise sea followed by the boom of cannon rose from an unassuming fort on the diminutive Dutch island of St. Eustatius in the West Indies on November 16, 1776. The guns of Fort Orange on St. Eustatius were returning the ritual salute on entering a foreign port of an American vessel, the Andrew Doria, as she came up the roadstead, flying at her mast the red-and-white-striped flag of the Continental Congress. In its responding salute the small voice of St. Eustatius was the first officially to greet the largest event of the century—the entry into the society of nations of a new Atlantic state destined to change the direction of history.
The effect of the American Revolution on the nature of government in the society of Europe was felt and recognized from the moment it became a fact. After the American rebellion began, "an extraordinary alteration took place in the minds of a great part of the people of Holland," homeland of St. Eustatius, recalled Sir James Harris, Earl of Malmesbury, who was British Ambassador at The Hague in the years immediately following the triumph of the American Revolution. "Doubts arose," he wrote in his memoirs, "about the authority of the Stadtholder" (Sovereign of the Netherlands and Prince of Orange) . . . "indeed all authority came under attack when the English colonists in America succeeded in their rebellion." What the Ambassador was witnessing—in idea, if not yet in fact—was the transfer of power from its arbitrary exercise by nobles and monarchs to power stationed in a constitution and in representation of the people. The period of the transfer, coinciding with his own career, from 1767 to 1797, was, he believed, "the most eventful epoch of European history." The salute to the Andrew Doria, ordered on his own initiative by the Governor of St. Eustatius, Johannes de Graaff, was the first recognition following the rebel colonies' Declaration of Independence, of the American flag and American nationhood by an official of a foreign state. Dutch priority was not the most important aspect of the event, but as other claimants have disputed the case, let it be said that the guns of Fort Orange were confirmed as first by the President of the United States, in a plaque presented to St. Eustatius in 1939 over the engraved signature of the incumbent Franklin D. Roosevelt. The plaque reads, "In Commemoration of the salute of the flag of the United States fired in this fort November 16, 1776, by order of Johannes de Graaff, Governor of St. Eustatius, in reply to a national gun salute fired by the U.S. Brig-of-War Andrew Doria. . . . Here the sovereignty of the United States of America was first formally acknowledged to a national vessel by a foreign official." Thereby de Graaff found a place, though it may be the least known of any, in the permanent annals of the United States.
The Andrew Doria, vehicle and protagonist of this drama, was not just any ship but already the possessor of a historic distinction. She was one of the first four ships, all converted merchantmen, to be commissioned into the Continental Navy created by act of the Continental Congress on October 13, 1775, and she was shortly to take part in its first active combat. She was a brigantine, a small two-masted vessel, refitted for belligerent action in the newly created American Navy. She had sailed from the New Jersey coast town of Gloucester near Philadelphia on October 23, under orders of the Continental Congress to proceed to St. Eustatius to take on military supplies and deliver a copy of the Declaration of Independence to Governor de Graaff. With only her limited sail area to catch the westerlies, her crossing in a little over three weeks to arrive by November 16 was a notable feat. Sailing times from North America to Europe and back varied widely depending on the type of ship, with the heavier warships taking longer than frigates and merchantmen, and depending on the wind, which might sometimes shift erratically from the prevailing westerlies blowing eastward to the reverse. At the time of the Revolution, the eastward passage to Europe, called "downhill," ordinarily took about three weeks to a month as opposed to the westward "uphill" voyage to America against the wind and the Gulf Stream, which took about three months.
Eustatius' salute was of no great importance except for what it led to. By intentionally encouraging, in defiance of his own government, the Dutch trade in military armament to the Colonies, the Governor assured the continuance of shipments from St. Eustatius, a critical factor in saving the American Revolution at its frail beginnings from starvation of firepower. In the first year, wrote George Washington, in the whole of the American camp there were not "more than nine cartridges to a man." In October, six months after the Colonies had put their rebellion to the test of arms, Washington confessed to his brother, "We are obliged to submit to an almost daily cannonade without returning a shot from our scarcity of powder which we are necessitated to keep for closer work than cannon distance whenever the redcoat gentry pleases to step out of their Intrenchments." In the tight fight for Bunker Hill in June, 1775, when American powder was nearly exhausted, the soldiers had to combat the British with the butt ends of their muskets. Long kept dependent on the mother country for military supplies because of a persistent suspicion in Britain of a rebellious American potential, the Colonies had developed no native production of weapons or gunpowder and lacked the raw material in saltpeter and the skills and facilities for its manufacture. Ammunition from Europe shipped via the West Indies was the only source of supply. As neutrals, the Dutch, for whom commerce was the blood in their veins and seafaring as ocean navigators their primary practice, became the essential providers, and St. Eustatius, the hinge of the clandestine traffic to the Colonies, became a storehouse of the goods of all nations. The British tried every means to stop the shipments, even to pursuing vessels right into Eustatius' harbor, but the Dutch shippers, with the advantage of local knowledge of winds and tides, could outwit their pursuers, and stubbornly continued to sail. British protests that the "traitorous rebels" in the Colonies must receive no "aid and nourishment" from any friendly power grew in anger, conveyed in the arrogant language of the British minister, predecessor of Sir James Harris, the "high and mighty" Sir Joseph Yorke—as John Adams described him. Sir Joseph, son of the Lord Chancellor (Philip, first Earl Hardwicke), was an imposing personage in the diplomatic society of The Hague. He kept a "splendid and hospitable" table, according to Sir William Wraxall, an English visitor, with effect more overbearing than cordial, for his deportment was "formal and ceremonious" of a kind that evidently appealed to the Prince of Orange, the Stadtholder, who, says Wraxall, felt for him "a sort of filial regard." The ambassadorial manner had less effect on the merchant-shippers, who cared more for business than for diplomatic niceties.
Cadwallader Colden, British Lieutenant-Governor of New York, had warned London in November, 1774, that "contraband between this place and Holland prevails to an enormous degree. . . . Action must be taken against the smugglers but it would not be easy because the vessels from Holland or St. Eustatia do not come into this port, but in the numerous bays and creeks that our coast and rivers furnish, from whence the contraband goods are sent up in small boats."
How the system of contraband delivery worked was revealed in the reports of Yorke's network of agents. A particularly active shipper was shown to be a certain Isaac Van Dam, a Dutch resident of St. Eustatius serving as middleman for the Americans, who was sending quantities of goods and money to France for the purchase of gunpowder to be delivered to St. Eustatius for transshipment to America. For Britain's envoy to see the contraband go forth under his nose was particularly painful. "All our boasted empire of the sea is of no consequence," lamented Sir Joseph Yorke. "We may seize the shells but our neighbors will get the oysters."
Exasperated by the traffic, Britain in 1774 declared the export of "warlike stores" to the Colonies to be contraband and therefore subject to search and seizure under her rights as a belligerent. Threats to the Dutch government followed, demanding prohibition of the military shipments by Dutch subjects. These were no longer the days of a century before when, in the series of struggles between the Dutch and English for maritime supremacy, Holland's Admiral de Ruyter, according to legend, had sailed up the Thames to the very gates of the enemy capital with a broom nailed to his masthead in token of his intent to sweep the English from the Channel. Failing that happy result, he burned English ships and towed away the Royal Charles, one of the principal ships of the Royal Navy, an ill event that brought anguish to Samuel Pepys, a secretary of the Admiralty. "My mind is so sad," he recorded in his diary for June 12, 1667, "and head full of this ill news . . . for the Dutch have broke the chain and burned our ships, particularly the Royal Charles, and the truth is I fear so much that the whole kingdom is undone." The blaze of the ships burning in the river was seen in London. The Anglo-Dutch wars, however, merely continued indecisively through the 17th century until both countries concluded that contest for supremacy was costing more than any profit supremacy could bring, and since both were strained in their resistance to the aggressions of Louis XIV, King of France, they found a joint interest in combining against him instead of fighting each other. In 1678, England and Holland had entered into defensive alliance pinned to several treaties requiring each to assist the other with the loan of troops or other aid in the event of aggression by a third power. After nearly a hundred years of this relationship, England took it very ill that Holland, instead of lending her 6,000 troops upon request under the terms of the old treaty, was instead saving the American enemy from empty arsenals and enabling the Revolution to continue.
Conscious of naval weakness relative to Britain, which now in the 1770s had 100 ships of the line (warships of over 60 guns), compared to eleven of the same size for the Netherlands, the government of the Netherlands felt compelled to comply with Britain's demand to cease supply of war material to the Colonies. In March, 1775, Dutch rulers announced to their subjects a six months' embargo of export to the Colonies of contraband (arms and ammunition) and naval stores (lumber for repairs, ropes for rigging and all materials needed to keep a ship afloat), even clothing, under penalty of confiscation of cargoes and heavy fines, and confiscation of ships in case of non-payment. In August the prohibition was extended from six months to a year, and again prolonged for each of the next two years. As an unbearable restraint on a lucrative trade, the order aroused wrathful resentment in the merchant class and was routinely disobeyed. The natural result was a great increase in smuggling, to such an extent that Sir Joseph Yorke was instructed to inform the States General, governing body of the Netherlands, that English warships were ordered henceforth to show "more vigilance and less reserve" in their attentions to St. Eustatius. Their guard became so close as to make it difficult for mariners to bring in provisions. Indignation at this treatment provoked in Holland a proposal to blockade the ambassadorial residence of Sir Joseph Yorke in retaliation, though the records show no evidence that this undiplomatic enterprise was carried out. In January of 1776, King George III ordered the Admiralty to put more warships on duty because "every intelligence confirms that principally St. Eustatius, but also all the other islands are to furnish the Americans with gunpowder this winter." If Eustatian shippers had not been indefatigable in defying the embargo and evading their pursuers, continuance of the American rebellion at this stage might have been a close call. Militarily it was a hardpressed time. A crushing defeat in the Battle of Long Island in August, 1776, had left the British in control of access to New York and the New York coast. Washington had, at least, safely brought his forces out of Manhattan, where he could maintain the connection of New England to the South which it was the principal British strategic aim to disrupt. Soon the British had penetrated Pennsylvania and were threatening Philadelphia, the congressional capital. At Christmas time of 1776 the Continental Congress fled to Baltimore. In September, 1777, Sir William Howe with a large army and naval force sailed imposingly up Chesapeake Bay to the Delaware to enter and occupy Philadelphia, the largest city and busiest manufacturing and commercial center of the country. Occupation by the British meant the closing of America's two major ports by the enemy, cutting off the delivery of cargoes. The Dutch, however, not disposed to abandon a lucrative trade, slipped into smaller ports and estuaries and managed to maintain the supply of guns and powder that kept the patriot fight for independence alive.
The cause, however, suffered another blow in the loss of Fort Washington, on Harlem Heights, opposite Fort Lee in New Jersey, thereby losing control of the Hudson and opening New Jersey across the river to invasion by the British. The new defeat called for heavy campaigning to save the territory. The bedraggled army, without proper clothing and short of medicine and hospitals and care for the wounded, and especially of fresh recruits, was further weakened by the constant drain of short enlistments. Washington could muster perhaps 2,500 men at the most against Howe's 10,000. The imbalance was made up by his gift for miracle in a crisis. On the same Christmas when the Congressmen were running to save their skins, Washington with his worn-out force crossed back over the Delaware to inflict a smashing knockout on the Hessians at Trenton, gaining their surrender and 1,000 prisoners. For his own cause, the gift in energy and morale was incomparable.
A similar indomitable will had already carried the Dutch people through an eighty years' war of rebellion to overthrow Spanish sovereignty and brought them by their seafaring enterprise to overseas empire and to a role in the 17th century equal to that of the great powers. Though now slipping into decline, they were not disposed to acquiesce readily in British dictation of what their ships could or could not carry or to submit to search and seizure on command.
Mutual hostility between Dutch and English was to mount to a climax in the five years following the salute to the Andrew Doria with definitive effect on America's fortunes. In January, 1776, the hostility became overt. In strong language voiced by Abraham Heyliger, the temporary Governor, Eustatians vehemently protested that the British, in pursuing merchantmen into their harbor, committed "irregularities so flagrant that they must be considered as a total violation of the laws of all civilized nations." The protest was—with more caution than the original version—addressed not directly to the British, but to the West India Company in Amsterdam, which governed the trade with America. Admiral James Young, commanding the British Leeward station, shot back at once a denunciation of "the very pernicious traffic carried on between his Britannic majesty's rebellious subjects . . . and . . . St. Eustatias." King George's order to the Admiralty to show "more vigilance" followed in the same month.

This is an absolutely outstanding book. It gives another view of the American Revolution that explains why UK lost a very winnable war...also serving as an omen of today's world. Perfectly written, this is an ideal book for those who find history books hard to read but still have an appetite to understand these past human events. Energetically written, wonderfully weaving the disjointed facts of the past into a pattern that makes sense and gives clarity to this largely one-sidedly viewed period.

I realized that I did not know my history and so I set out to correct that fault. This book is an excellent beginning to the War of Independence and you are encouraged to go further if you want. She writes like she was in a conversation with the listener which I feel helps in memory value and doesn't overwhelm the reader. In other words, it is not dry.
Also, it gives both sides of the situation and you can make up your own mind as far as the Brits or the rebels. The East Coast is full of history and adds a spice to travel.

Ms Tuchman leaves absolutely no stone unturned in digging out all the details and the details of the details in this pivotal point in our American history, so much so that I find it to be at times as exhausting as it is exhaustive. HOWEVER, it is, in my humble opinion, an excellent work. I recommend it to all history geeks like myself.

From reading the introduction, the back, and the title, I had been looking forward to reading a new insight about the American Revolution. However, upon starting the first few chapters, I was completely lost in the seemingly irrelevant early histories of Holland and England. Tuchman often goes off on tangents and does not seem to firmly regain her thesis until the commencement of a new chapter. This book was well-intended to provide a glance on the international opinions of the 'Rebels in the British Colonies,' but was severely diverted in the process. Tuchman's language is enjoyably smooth, however, much like a fictional narrative, as opposed to the commonly dry history texts.

what a pri ck. I think everyone should write this guy. I listened to him and rasmusen on Sean Hannity's show every day. NOT ONCE did he himself ever even mention Dr. Paul. Don't let this guy play like he supported Dr. Paul. He is one of them and kept the facts hidden to the public.
The othere thing I am hearing reported over and over and over is people are voting for Romney. Many Many voters are calling in to radio shows saying they would love to have Ron Paul but they heard or did not believe he can win. This is a sad day. I know we are going to a brokered convention but what the F? Are we America? This is crazy.

text: Emily and Evan met me last year over Skype while I was in Europe. I hadn't even been there for 24 hours, and I nervously sat in front of the computer for my first ever virtual meeting with an eight hour time difference. How could anyone possibly book me without meeting me in person? Little did I know that in the weeks to come, I would not only find a new client, but a new friend. There are no words to truly describe my thanks for this bride. As I was homesick to come back to Colorado, she became my pen pal, sharing her own struggles as she had studied abroad in Costa Rica.

Pop icon and knock-out home renovator Vanilla Ice ditches his high tech power tools and moves to Amish country to learn the lost art of hand craftsmanship. Go inside the largest Amish settlement in the U.S. as a group of young men and women help him tackle construction projects ranging from kitchen additions to traditional barn raisings — all without nails and screws. He'll earn his keep working on the farm as he learns to embrace the simpler life and become fully immersed in the unique culture that has been isolated from the rest of the world.
Vanilla Ice loved his visit to Amish country so much, he's back for another round. Get an inside look at his adventures now.

This little painting is a 5" x 7" canvas painted in oils. I picked up this grapefruit in back of our condo in Siesta Key and these little orange fruits looked just like oranges to me though tiny. Painting the leaves was the most fun. Do you know what the tiny little orange fruits are?

Small ones
Hello friends! All of these are little 6" x 8" oil paintings. I recently bought a case of gold frames this size so I've been setting up some still lifes to paint. Time to buy more fresh flowers, it really excites me to paint real flowers.
In a few weeks I plan to run a sale on my website, I'll let you know.

Last week I painted 5 paintings with daisies and yellow mums until they died. I bought some sunflowers and have done three paintings using them and this is one of those. I am having a ball painting with fresh flowers instead of silk.
This is oil on a 8" x 10" panel.
So nice of you to check in on me.

Fresh Flowers
Hi Friends, my birthday was Monday and my sister brought me a bouquet of flowers. I took some Tuesday when I painted with my group and painted this, oil on a 8" x 10" canvas. I have done two more paintings since using these flowers and different vases. I have lots of wonderful silks but the real thing is the way to go, lesson learned. I'll be buying fresh flowers when I can.

Still Life
Hi there! I just completed this, I set this up and painted from life. This is oil on a 16" x 20" canvas. I paint a lot of dark backgrounds but felt like I wanted to lighten things up. I think I'm pretty happy with this but I'm at the "lookin at it stage" hehe.

"Look this Way"
This oil painting measures 8" x 10" , painted from a reference photo I took this summer.
I paint with two different groups and we critique in both. Critiques can be so helpful as we don't always see things with our little faces up against our canvases. Anyway I took this for one of the group critiques and I had painted trees behind the cows and it just wasn't working for me. I had brushed them out and at that point I had a dirty looking sky behind the cows. One of the people in my group suggested I just paint in some clean sky color at the top and nothing else. I like the very subtle suggestion of trees in the background now. After all of this yapping I just wanted to say to get in on a group critique if possible or find someone who's work you respect and ask them. They may come up with something you wouldn't consider doing on your own.

Assorted Fruits
Hi there! I recently purchased a few Langnickle brushes and I love them. I set up this still life to try out my new brushes. They are soft and I thinned my paints a bit. I love the soft edges I get with these brushes. I have heard Rosemary brushes are wonderful also, I plan to try a few of those eventually too.
This painting is oil on a 8" x 10" canvas and is available on my website, the link is to the right.
So nice of you to visit.

Fox Theatre
This National Historic Landmark was built in 1929 as a Shriners temple, but through most of its storied history it has served as Atlanta's premier theatrical venue. A marvel of Middle Eastern Revival architecture that spans a full city block, it is one of the largest theaters built in America during the golden age of the movies. Today, the theater maintains a steady schedule of Broadway shows, operas, symphonic performances and rock concerts. Tours are available, but the best way to experience the Fox Theatre is through a night on the town.
