To the editor:
We can certainly sympathize with those people who live three miles from KPL and are bothered by the noise coming from the power plant. Try living 1/3 of a mile from the source. If you look at the map provided in Monday's Journal-World, our house is located across from the "A" in N 1800 Rd.
We began noticing the noise early in February and made a notation on the calendar on Feb. 12 that KPL was making a terrible rumbling sound. There has been no let-up since that time. There is nothing we can do to cover the noise. The television and the stereo would have to be painfully loud in order to mask it. We are so close that just moving to another room or to the basement gives no relief. The only way we can escape from the drone is to leave the house. We have lost the right to a quiet, peaceful existence in our own home.
The adverse psychological and physiological effects of noise have been well-documented. When can we all, near and far, expect to get some relief?

Not good science
To the editor:
After learning that their kids were -- gasp -- learning the theory of evolution in science class, a few U.S.D. 497 parents got together and started a group called Parents for Objective Science and History (POSH). POSH says that they want other theories besides evolution to be taught in science class. As POSH president says, "We're trying to push fairness and the fact you cannot teach theory as fact."
Interesting. Does POSH want the theory of gravity to be taught as fact? After all, it's just a theory. What about the theory that the earth is round? 500 years ago, that was just as controversial as evolution is today. In scientific terms, "theory" means "explanation of a proven set of facts."
Another interesting point is that POSH wants all sides of creation represented. There are about 10 major world religions, each with its own creation story. Should we teach each of these alongside the theory of evolution?
This entire ordeal is Christianity masquerading as science. Scientists ask a question and try to find an answer. Creation scientists already have their answer and are trying to prove it. This is not good science. Therefore, creationism should absolutely not be taught in public schools.

Scientists have discovered the fossilized skull of a 24- to 27 million-year-old ancient whale, proving that echolocation evolved very early on among toothed whale predators. The extraordinarily well-preserved specimen boasted 39 intact teeth and was found in a South Carolina drainage ditch. It’s described for the first time in an article published Thursday in Current Biology. The study authors named the beast Echovenator sandersi, the “echo hunter.”
The American and French scientists analyzed the specimen’s preserved bones, including the tiny structures of the ear. They found that the ear bones had the structures that would allow it to hear high-frequency sound, similar to toothed whales living today. Further, they found facial structures in the skull that indicate the presence of air sacs that would have allowed the animals to produce ultrasonic noise and use this as sonar to locate and chase down prey.
The researchers also compared their specimen to 23 other extinct or living species of whales, as well as the closest living relative of whales: the hippopotamus. Their analysis showed that early ancestors of the whale, the archaeocetes, could hear at high frequencies, even before the group splintered into toothed and baleen varieties, and way before the toothed whales developed the ability to produce high-frequency sound.
Here’s why this is surprising: Only toothed whales (odontocetes) use echolocation to navigate the seas these days, and baleen whales (mysticetes) mostly hear in the normal range. Echolocation is more effective at high frequencies, which is why bats independently evolved the ability to produce in and hear ultrasonic noise. But echolocation works at frequencies in the normal human range, too, which is why some blind people will spontaneously begin to making clicking noises as a way to sense their physical space.
You might assume that the echolocation would have emerged in whales, too, with natural selection doing its thing over many generations to favor those hearing in higher frequencies. But this, according to these new findings, was not the case. It seems to be that there was an advantage to hearing high-pitched noises very soon after the whales’ terrestrial ancestors took to the sea.
Some prey species of both toothed whales and bats have the ability to hear, but not make, ultrasonic noise, presumably evolved to better avoid predators. If ancient whales found that the sea they came upon was full of high-frequency noises they could hear, who or what was making them? That’s another question for another fossil to answer.

Collyridians
Collyridians a sect of heretics which arose towards the close of the fourth century, so named from a small cake of a cylindrical form (κολλυρίδες, collyridae) which they offered to the Virgin Mary with libations and sacrifices. They were chiefly Arabian women, who rendered divine honors to the Virgin Mary as a goddess. It is conjectured by Neander that the cake-offering was a transfer of the oblations of the Lord's Supper to the worship of the Virgin, the whole taking the shape of a pagan ceremony; the truth probably being that the corruption was introduced from the pagan worship of Ceres, and that the customary breadofferings at the heathen feast of the harvest, in honor of Ceres, had been changed for such offerings in honor of Mary. —

Gunned Down On Brooklyn Street
This CBS News report highlights a Trinidadian family from South Carolina struggling with planning a funeral for 24 year old Trevonne Winn. He was shot and killed in the heart of Flatbush, blocks away from Brooklyn College over the weekend. It appears Winn was an aspiring rap artist. The NYPD is calling it a case of mistaken identity.

Snorkel Male Siberian\/Bengal Tiger DOB 1996 - March 12, 2010 Snorkel was born in 1996 to the same abuser who bred Nakoma the lion.\u00a0 She breeds lions and tigers and uses them to make money by selling you a photo of you holding a cute little cub.\u00a0 The general public just doesn\u2019t understand what could be wrong with this? Typically, these cubs are starved, deprived of bone building calcium and even poisoned to give them constant diarrhea so that they cannot gain weight.\u00a0 Exhibitors do this because the cubs are only profitable while they are small.\u00a0 According to FL state law, the public cannot touch the cubs once they reach 45 pounds.\u00a0 Consequently, they are discarded. Snorkel was given to a small, family-operated circus when he exceeded 45 pounds at the age of 6 months. Because he had been so deprived of nutrition, he was very tiny and stands on little stunted legs.\u00a0 The other bigger circus tigers beat him up and one bit him across the nose so severely that, when he chuffs, it sounds like he is drowning, thus his name.\u00a0 He has never had soft grass to roll in or a pool or mountain cave to call his own before coming to Big Cat Rescue.\u00a0 He has been one of the happiest tigers we have ever rescued. March 12, 2010 We had to say goodbye to another one of our great cats this afternoon.\u00a0 Thank you everyone for caring for him all of these years, you truly provided Snorkel the best possible life and he let everyone know with his enthusiastic chuffs. TRIBUTES FOR SNORKEL Oh my boy!!!! I can't even type i'm crying so hard. Oh how my heart aches for Snork. He had an unbreakable spirit, and no matter what his medical condition or how he felt, he was always happy to see people. Sometimes i would go to the outback and just stand there and watch him and wait for him to notice me. While I waited, he always seemed so content, so happy to feel the sun on his face and the breeze from the lake. He eventually would notice me and get up and come over with that very distinguished "chuff" he had. It was like he was saying "Regina, I haven't seen you all day, I am so happy to see you". God speed beautiful boy....Rest in Peace. I love you always...Regina, Volunteer Senior Keeper Poor Boy! I was so sad when he was moved to the Outback - always so happy and ready with a chuff! Nanci, Volunteer Keeper Trainee I absolutely adored Snorkel. Even though he was abused by humans in the past, Snorkel found peace where he was loved by all. Rest now, Snorkel, and I pray that all other abused creatures could know the love you felt at BCR...Pam, Volunteer Senior Partner I loved Snorkel so much. Just thinking of him makes me smile. What a happy, friendly cat. He will be greatly missed. There's a big hole in my heart..Willow, Volunteer Keeper Who didn't love this very special boy??? He always looked so happy just laying there, looking around, feeling the wind, feeling the sun, chuffing at the birds... waiting for somebody to come to visit him... We use to just stay there just behind him, waiting for him to notice us... and we could almost recognize a smile on his face... he was so happy to see us and he would come right away to say hello... Now we are goodbye to you Snorkel! Have a safe trip... they are all waiting for you! I will Love you forever Snorkel!Marie, Volunteer Senior Keeper You were a pleasure to care for and you greeting me with a "chuff" every morning was a great way to start the day. You will be truly missed, rest in peace buddy...Chris, Volunteer Senior Keeper Ah, Snork ... I'll never forget him being in the enclosure next to Khan and China, chuffing at everyone who walked by until he couldn't see them anymore. What a beautiful spirit he had. He'll be deeply missed...Darla, Intern Whot a sad year this has been we have lost so many beautiful cats ,but we must be thankfull that now we KNOW they are pain free and as they should be free.go with King and play...Kym, Volunteer Keeper Today was raining continuously. You were sleeping,but your tail was in the rain. You were already on your way to heaven, weren't you? I pray I'll never forget you're positive observation of life. Thank You for such an important lesson. Love You...Rosie, Volunteer Senior Keeper Thank you Snorkel for always being such a happy and inspiring tiger! I didn't get to care for you for long but you enriched my life tremendously. You will be missed but I know you are chuffing away at us from above. I love you! Lisa, Volunteer Senior Keeper The happiest spirit I have ever known is now running free without pain. Snorkel had the unique ability to lift anyone's spirit. May we all learn something from him regarding a positive outlook on life. I will never forget you!\u00a0 Susan, Volunteer Senior Keeper What a happy, positive and elevating spirit....Snorkel was inspiring and warmed my heart at every interaction...now running free with his other great cat friends. I will miss him dearly...Merrill, Volunteer Partner He was the first tiger to greet me at BCR and always had a "happy chuff" for me. I knew that this time would come, but oh how much it hurts. You were the best Snorkel!!!!!Robynne, Volunteer Keeper More Memorials at\u00a0https:\/\/bigcatrescue.org\/category\/memorials\/ |
I’m really confused about how my life is going to go in the future. I know what I want to, I’m just not sure how I’m going to do it.
My plan was to go either UCSB, Stanford, USC, or a college in Australia to study Marine Biology and/ or Environmental Science. I would then go to law school and become an environmental lawyer. At college, I would swim and play water polo.
Well, now I’m really in to running. I love triathlons too. I know I’m going to play sports in college, but which ones?
Recently I’ve been thinking about become a humane officer. It pains me to know that so many animals are suffering and abused. I want to dedicate my life to stopping the cruelty that takes place everyday. I want to do this, but there are some issues.
A humane officer makes 32,000 dollars annually. I don’t have millions of dollars in family money, I don’t have a billion dollars in my bank account, and I want to stay in California. I’m afraid 32,000 dollars would not be enough to have a home, a car, and eventually kids.
So, my plan is now to stick with being an environmental lawyer. I still really want to be a humane officer though…
Again, on the topic of money, I realized that I’m not going to have enough money to go to any of the colleges I want to go to. I could go to junior college. It would save a lot of money and I can save up for my next two years at a university.
I also want to take a gap year and go to the Peace Corps…
Will I go straight to a four year school? I wonder where I’m going to live after college? What college am I going to go to? What law school will I go to? Will I still want to be a lawyer, or will my opinions change? What sports will I play? Will I have a boyfriend? Will I get married? Am I going to have kids? When will I retire? Will I become a humane officer?
I don’t know, honestly. But maybe in thirty years, I’ll come back to this post and reflect on everything I did or didn’t do.

Very soon Blizzard will be throwing patch 2.3.0 for Diablo 3 onto the Public Test Realm, and it’s quite an extensive update. Covering many elements of the game, 2.3.0 includes a whole new zone, a new artifact that will be invaluable for crafting, and a bunch of new difficulty levels for those who think Diablo 3 isn’t torturous enough already.
As detailed in Blizzard’s preview, the patch adds the frozen zone Ruins of Sescheron to Diablo 3’s world map. The land is populated by new enemies and environmental hazards, and is home to King Kanai and his ultimate treasure: Kanai’s Cube.
The cube is the artifact you’ll want to hunt down, as it’s able to break down Legendary items and equip its special effect as a player passive skill. It can also convert crafting materials from one type to another, as well as a variety of other useful tricks. An absolute necessity for crafters.
Crafting has also had a bit of an update, and the results of mixing materials will now dynamically adjust to your character’s level to ensure that crafting materials don’t go to waste.
Realm of Trials has been removed from Adventure Mode, but emphasis on exploring Bounties across Acts has been added. Bounty rewards have been improved with Act-specific crafting materials, and Bonus Acts now rewards Bonus Horadric Caches.
A new Season Journey interface will track your progress through Season 4 and subsequent seasons, showing major milestones completed.
Four new difficulty levels have been added to make up for the fact the game becomes less challenging when top-level players are equipped with the best gear. Torment VII, VIII, IX, and X all ramp up the difficulty to crazy levels, and have appropriate reward rates.
A bunch of new Legendary of Set effects are being added, by introducing new items and also revamping special effects on existing items. Items that don’t currently have effects may gain one. This should grant more build options for players to explore.
Combat has had a small overhaul, with experience now provided based on how much time and effort it takes to kill a monster. There’s been some balancing done to the time spent exploring Nephalem or Greater Rifts, and the time spend facing the Rift Guardian. More emphasis will now be placed on your exploration journey. Monsters will now tolerate less crowd control. |
I dug out my little handbook of crochet motifs and appliques and intend to make a few different flowers next with what is left of the bag of yarn. There wasn't enough of this lot that was 100% wool or I would have felted these.
Having finished Snowy Snapshots yesterday, I was faced with the fact that I did not have anything else charted and ready to go for the next piece! I had plenty of sketches scanned and ready to work with, but nothing charted. I decided to return to (for at least a piece, maybe two) our old friendly trio, The Flakey Friends.
I have always loved these guys, and had a stack of drawings that I always wanted to get back to. So, here we are! The Gift of Friendship (tenatively named...any that know me, know that the names of these things often change a few times before I settle on something!) is charted, and I am ready to start stitching! Here's a peek...
For now I am working with DMC flosses with this one, as well as Kreinik braids to add some sparkle and texture. I'm still debating beadwork. More to come!
I appreciate your comments! |

Karthryn was a great asset to me. I came to her on very short notice (firday afternoon had to be in court on monday). I couldn't even be in the state as I lived in Connecticut and had a court apperance here on the same day. She work thoughout the weekend to put my case together for monday. She kept me informed as soon as she knew something she relayed the information directly to me. She helped get my son back home in my arms. She worked so diligently. She worked with my lawyer here in Connecticut in incredibly quick fashion. I would highly recommened Kathryn to anyone looking for a well knowledged, extremely trustworthy, and responsible lawyer.

Kathryn Harry has been instumental in helping us, (my wife, Marlene and I), with the purchase of our first home.
Kathryn has a rare gift built on effective communication, thorough working knowledge, experience and a passion for working with people and law.
We have learned so much through our professional relationship with Ms. Harry. She is always happy to counsel with us, she knows many professionals practicing in a wide range of law and demonstrated a respectful, working relationship partnering with everyone involved.
We completely trust Kathryn and would highly recommend her services.
I know that you will be satisfied and happy for having contacted her.
Posted by a Speeding Ticket client
I would highly recommend Ms. Harry and have already done so on several occasions. She is a hard working compassionate attorney who will champion for her clients. Her honesty and trustworthiness are the qualities one needs when consulting a lawyer which is usually during an emotional stressful time. Cudos to Ms. Harry!! |
Star Trek Beyond, directed by Justin Lin.
I want to start off by pointing out that this is a spoiler free ryview. But in my usual fashion, I'm obviously discussing the movie a little so if you really want to go in blind, then close this page and see the movie.
I'll wait.
*"The Girl From Ipanema" plays for 122 minutes (plus previews)*
Okay, now that you've had time to watch the movie (or wait for 2 hours, if you chose not to), let's get into this thing.
Star Trek Beyond is the third installment of the "reboot" trilogy that started in 2009. It features most of the cast returning (everyone you'd expect), and it feels fairly similar to the previous two entries. So, if you liked those, you'll probably like this. If you didn't, then you should probably only see this if you really love Idris Elba's voice.
Now, I felt that this movie focused very heavily on Kirk. I'm not necessarily complaining about that, but even compared to the last two this felt very Kirk heavy. There were some notable Spock and Scotty subplots, but those felt fairly stunted. It was the Kirk show, and Chris Pine did a fairly good job of it, but I like the ensemble cast style of Star Trek old and new, so this was a bit of a letdown in that regard.
The first half of the movie seemed fairly grounded (no puns), where most of this made some sense, with very few "Oh come on!" moments. Unfortunately, that was not sustained throughout the film. Slowly but surely, there were quite a few McGuffins and stupid plot conveniences that popped up. Some of these were small, some of them were large. And when you have a sci-fi movie that makes you say "No, this is too unrealistic", you know something has gone wrong.
That being said, I enjoyed watching it. Several of those McGuffins made me smile, and I was ready to cheer by the end. It's a solid adventure romp. I also thought the acting was all fairly good, there weren't any scenes where I was taken away from the fantasy with someone delivering a terrible line. And along with that, editing and scripting were presentable. Some lines seemed a bit overly hammy, but for the most part I thought it was fairly one-liner free. The humor in the movie worked, and the emotional scenes delivered what they needed to.
So, I guess my recommendation to anyone on the fence is to go with how much you like Star Trek or Science Fiction action movies. I don't think this is a great reach-across-the-aisle sort of movie, but I would also counter that by saying it handles its own genre very well. Go see it if you're into that sort of thing, don't if you're not. You should go see Ghostbusters again to make sure it doesn't have quite the box office loss they're expecting.
And for those of you who are wondering how low I will sink for my movie ryviews, I'm seeing Suicide Squad next week.
You've been warned.
Until next time,
Ryan

Idris Elba is in Everything! - Star Trek Beyond Spoiler-Free Movie Ryview

A very happy Friday to all Skope readers! I could not have picked a better guest to kick off the weekend than Aradia.. Join us as we talk about Seattle, Prince, going solo, and much more!
Stoli: Where are we talking from today and how is your summer going?
Aradia: We’re talking from my house in gorgeous, warm Seattle. The summer is absolutely fabulous, now that it’s finally started!
Stoli: You have an incredible voice. At what age did you realize your talent and pursue music full time?
Aradia: Wow, thank you! My father is a singer, and my older sister sings beautifully. In our household, it was just normal and natural to be able to sing — I didn’t recognize it as something “special” or out of the ordinary in any sense at first. Throughout high school I received enough encouragement from friends and family to pursue it as a career.
Stoli: How did you get the name Aradia and what does that mean to you?
Aradia: “Aradia” is actually a name my parents gave me. It’s the name of the Goddess Diana’s daughter.
Stoli: You are now based in Seattle. What drew you to that wonderful city and how is the music scene around town?
Aradia: Seattle is pretty amazing. I was drawn here by all the trees & parks, the mountains & lakes, and the culture. I feel like I’m in a little bubble where everyone takes care of their environment and watches what they eat (well, ok not everyone, but definitely more than other places I’ve lived!).
The music scene is…in transition here I’d say. A lot of really great bands come through Seattle when they’re touring, so people here get exposed to the best of the best — and certainly the most variety. When it comes to local independent music, we get to hear some seriously high-caliber musicians; but I wouldn’t say there’s a coherent “scene” going on here right now. I think it’s just the time in between the last scene and the next big thing, though.
Aradia “Supernova” MP3:
Stoli: You are a solo artist but work with other musicians. What are the advantages to going the solo route and who are other musicians that you respect and work with?
Aradia: Well, I suppose the biggest advantage of going solo is that I don’t have to worry about keeping everyone happy. Having a band is like being part of a family, and I always want the members of my family or a band to be satisfied with what they’re doing. I also like being able to just get in the studio and lay down 40 tracks for one song if I get inspired to do so. For ‘The Oddyssey,’ I had a great experience recording with members of my previous band in Atlanta. Today I enlist the help of other Seattle-based musician friends like James Drage.
Stoli: Prince recently came out and said the Internet is dead. Do you agree with that or he just out of touch with reality?
Aradia: I’ve always regarded Prince as a genius, musically. I don’t agree, though, with his statements about the Internet being dead or all “gadgets” being “no good.” I can understand that selling music digitally has fewer benefits for established artists, but for independent artists who don’t have distribution deals it’s a real gift.
Stoli: How long were you working on your album, ‘The Oddyssey’ and what does this album mean to you personally?
Aradia: ‘The Oddyssey’ took about two years to complete, though it only took a little over a month to record initially. I went back and did a few different iterations of some of the songs before I was happy with it. For me this album signifies the realization of a dream — to not only complete an album but get it out there so people can hear and enjoy it. The songs themselves are largely about finding the balance between the world inside my head and some of the harsh realities we all face every day.
Stoli: I really like your sense of style and wardrobe. Are you into fashion or do you just go with what feels and looks good?
Aradia: Ha, thank you. I laugh because I’m always thrilled when people think I’m fashionable. I started out as someone who “didn’t know how to dress.” I had a…strange sense of style and was lucky enough to have a mom & dad who got a kick out of it and never discouraged me. I learned how to sew from my mom so I make most of what you see me wearing. I definitely just go with what feels right at that moment and represents how I’m feeling at the time.
Stoli: I love the song, “Trinity.” What is that song about and when did you write that song?
Aradia: Thank you! So glad you dig it. I wrote that song a few years back when I was in a challenging relationship. The name “Trinity” is a reference to Neo & Trinity from The Matrix. I kind of feel like every couple should be like them — they’re intensely in love and they ‘got each other’s back,’ so to speak.
Stoli: If I was to get my hands on your MP3 player, what musicians would I find you are listening to and respect these days?
Aradia: Oh man, I have two of them because I listen to such a ridiculous variety of music! Let’s see…you’d find some Carlos Joabim & Astrud Gilberto, Damian Marley, Motion City Soundtrack, OK Go, Pink Martini, Phoenix, Bill Withers, and of course Devo!
Stoli: You are an inspiration that artists can prosper independently. What advice or words of wisdom can you offer other aspiring female musicians?
Aradia: Again, thank you. My advice would be to be very selective about what and whom you listen to when it comes to receiving guidance. We all need to be realistic, yes, but there is an abundance of naysayers around us at any given time. Just keep going. Be smart about it. Do your research and learn about the tools available to you — being an independent artist is like having your own business — but keep the focus on the self-expression that turns into your art.
Stoli: What is coming up for Aradia and where can we follow you online?
Aradia: I’m really excited to be working on my second album right now. My goal is to release it early in 2011. You can follow me on Facebook, MySpace, and my official website. You can also check out my first music video on youtube. Thanks, Stoli!
The Oddyssey is one of those albums I just keep coming back to. Everyone needs this album in their colllection! Aradia is my favorite new artist and I look forward to more of her fantastic voice and meaningful melodies. |
I was given a challenge of coming up with some kid friendly recipes. So far I've got nothing. Well, some kids have eaten my food and loved it. And after talking to other moms I know that have toddlers and not babies I've figured that kids will eat pretty much whatever you give them as long as it looks good. (within reason)
My friend Beth is an amazing mother to an adorable boy Daylen. They are cute. Disgustingly cute. Lol. She makes the coolest lunches ever! I'm not even exaggerating one bit. I want her to make me a lunch like this.
I believe she has bought some of the tools to make these lunches online and at craft stores. She uses cookie cutter to make the sandwiches into those cool shapes. The lunches are super healthy and fun!
This is Beth's family. How cute are they?
So there is round one of the kid friendly foods. I will try for some more. But really, I think that Beth is right. As long as it looks good, its more likely that your kid will try it. I've also found that if they get to assemble and make stuff with you, they eat more too. When my cousins were young, we would always make our own pizza's and such. It was always fun being in the kitchen putting together a feast.
Have fun with cooking!
Peace
xoxo

Island of the Sequined Love Nun (ISBN 0-06-073544-9) is the fourth novel by absurdist author Christopher Moore, published in 1997. It is based partly on the author's personal experiences in Micronesia.
The main character, Tucker Case (Tuck), is a pilot for a cosmetics company, who crashes the company plane while having sex. This event causes Tuck to be blacklisted from flying in the United States, so he accepts a lucrative offer from a doctor-missionary on a remote Micronesian island to transport cargo to and from the island and Japan.
Tuck moves to the island, along with a male Filipino transvestite navigator and a talking fruit bat. There Tuck eventually uncovers a horrible secret harbored by the doctor and his wife, who have taken advantage of fact that the natives of the island have fallen under the influence of a cargo cult that developed as a result of establishment by Allies of an air runway there during World War II. Tuck's shock at the gruesome immorality of the situation leads to an adventurous and suspenseful climax.
In chapter 8, "The Humiliation of the Pilot As a Passenger," Moore alludes to the Shakespeare play, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Tuck is the heir to the Denmark Silverware Corporation, much like Hamlet being the prince. Later Tuck's mother marries his uncle after her husband has a not-so-accidental riding accident resulting in his death.
Tuck is then summoned by a past girlfriend named Zoophilia (similar to Ophelia). While approaching the house in a blind rage he runs over Zoophilia's father. Zoophilia meets her demise with a handful Prozac and a mouthful of water as she drowns in a hot tub, grief stricken. Before Tuck leaves he is threatened by Zoophilia's brother.

Gender differences are so last century.
Maria Grazia Chiuri, who keeps close tabs on Millennial attitudes through her daughter and muse Rachele Regini, has been touting a feminist agenda since taking over design duties at Dior in 2016 — all the while, paying homage to highly specific facets of the French fashion house’s 70-year heritage.
In her pre-fall collection, she found a point of convergence between the two. The lineup, which mixed graphic men’s tailoring with her signature diaphanous evening gowns, was inspired by Surrealist artist Claude Cahun, best known for her photographic self-portraits in which she adopted a variety of guises.
Chiuri decided to explore this period after seeing the Dior retrospective at Les Arts Décoratifs, which wrapped last week after a record-breaking run. It included a room devoted to the couturier’s early career as a gallerist, and his friendships with Surrealists including Jean Cocteau and André Breton.
With her gender-ambiguous pseudonym and fondness for role-playing, Cahun makes an ideal muse for a generation craving new ways of defining themselves.
“At that time, in Paris, the modern woman was born,” said Chiuri, pointing at a mood board filled with images of the shaven-headed artist. “In a way, it’s very close to the idea that you use fashion and dress in a way that is very personal and in the moment, as you would like to represent yourself.”
That approach dovetails with the house founder’s architectural approach to tailoring and fondness for using masculine fabrics in his post-war designs, which were famously adopted by Marlene Dietrich — another of the season’s muses.
It also chimes with Hedi Slimane’s forays into androgyny as creative director of Dior Homme, namely with the launch of his Petite Taille for Women line in 2002.
Hence, a knee-length kilt — a nod to the floor-length ones for men that Slimane showed in 2004 — came in two guises: a black polka-dot tulle version paired with a tuxedo jacket, or a more traditional checked wool alternative topped with an oversized mohair sweater.
Sensible footwear prevailed — a temporary necessity for Chiuri, who is on crutches after breaking her femur in a Christmas Day fall. Options included sturdy black loafers with a gold initial buckle, or two-tone brogues, which also came in a dainty kitten-heel version.
The designer toyed with trompe-l’oeil effects, like a sturdy herringbone wool knee-length coat worn over a pleated dress that echoed its pattern — only this time, in a silver lurex knit. Another herringbone dress, with a prim funnel neck, revealed a saucier side in motion, as its pleated skirt flashed strips of black organza.
The clash between masculine and feminine energies was jarring at times: Who is this girl who sports a nipple-baring sheer corset under graphic black cage dress one day, and a matronly calf-length tweed skirt the next?
But the push-and-pull also resulted in some exquisitely ambiguous pieces, like a cape-sleeved black velvet gown spliced with insets of pleated navy chiffon that was equal parts austere and sensual.
Chiuri said Cahun and her ilk were a reminder that women don’t have to be confined to a single identity. “Sometimes, when you read about that, you feel that people were more modern at the time than they are now,” she mused. “I think that we have to remember these women, remember it’s possible to do what you want in life.” |

Hot Melt Guns Series K100
The K100 Series of hot-melt slot guns available from Protek are particularly suitable for all those applications where coating of hot-melt thermoplastic, polyamide adhesives and PUR reactive is needed in continuous or interrupted track with a maximum width of 1000mm and variable thickness.
These coating heads are specified for high speed applications and very reduced reaction times. The main features are the use of the best prime materials (tempered steel and titanium oxide), an innovative system for width changing or coating of different shapes. |
For those of us concerned about the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines, there may be an alternative.
A recent study finds that the immune system can be stimulated with a combination of Vitamins C and D and the minerals selenium, zinc and silver. Check out this new choice which can be taken as a daily supplement throughout the pandemic of swine flu and for the duration of the seasonal flu.
This may be a good fit for egg allergic children and adults who can not get the vaccine. I do like the idea of natural substances stimulating the body's own immune system. |

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, sent to jail and forced to resign over racy text messages that showed he had lied under oath, has presented himself as a changed man since his release last year — someone working to repair his damaged relationship with his family and pay the $1 million in restitution he owes the city.
But his inability — or unwillingness — to tell the truth about his finances could further humble Kilpatrick and lead him back to a cell Tuesday.
Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner will determine Kilpatrick's punishment after ruling last month that the former mayor violated his probation by failing to report all assets and failing to meet other conditions.
State Corrections officials have suggested less than a year in county jail. Defense attorneys want no jail time, saying it will hamper Kilpatrick's ability to pay the money he still owes. But prosecutors say two to five years in state prison would be appropriate.
"The defendant has continued to lie to this court about his ability to pay restitution," Prosecutor Kym Worthy wrote in a 10-page sentencing memorandum submitted to Groner on Monday. "This court cannot reward lies, deceit and fraud with more probation.".
Plans already have been made to hold Kilpatrick in a jail in Hamtramck, an enclave of Detroit, if he's ordered locked up, Wayne County sheriff's spokeswoman Paula Bridges. |

The death toll has climbed to at least 113 from this week's devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.
"There will be families receiving the worst kind of news in the next few days," Foreign Minister Murray McCully said Friday. "This is not just New Zealand's tragedy, it's a tragedy that will touch many families around the world."
The Christian community is working to deliver food, medicines and comfort to survivors.
Shine TV, a CBN partner in New Zealand, spoke with leaders of the Catholic Church and the Anglican Church about the devastation.
"It is not about buildings. It is not about bricks and mortar. It is all about people. And the people are suffering horribly," Anglican Church Bishop Victoria Matthews said. "It's all about trying to be Christ's hands, feet and heart and voice and caring for the people that God loves."
"And it is also of course wrong to imagine that God is punishing people by disasters when they come. I mean Christ taught us very clearly that that is a false understanding of God," Catholic Church Bishop Barry Jones explained.
Government leaders are increasing their efforts to deliver water, food, and fuel to people in need.
Relief help also continues to arrive from other parts of the world.

Newcastle beats Worcester in Premiership Rugby
March 4, 2019 7:27 am
First-half tries from Zach Kibirige and Toby Flood proved enough for Newcastle to beat Worcester 17-6 this morning.
The win ensures New castle close up the gap on their relegation rivals to five points.
Kibirige burst through to give Falcons an early lead before Flood kicked a penalty, sandwiched between two for the visitors from Duncan Weir.
Article continues after advertisement
Flood then weaved his way through the Worcester defence to ground a second try for his side.
Meanwhile, Exeter is leading the premiership rugby standings with 61 points, followed by Saracens and Harlequins with 58 and 48 points respectively while New Castle trails at the bottom of the table with 21 points. |
For months (since Sydney has been eating real food) I have been telling her mother to try out the food she is feeding her. I am aware that baby food is not the best tasting, however it is important to at least try a little bite of each to 1. understand your baby's palate and 2. decide for yourself if it is is good or not 3. wear the badge of honor that you did.
Last night Sydney had Vegetable Puffs (not bad tasting, a little salty) and Pin wheels (terrible tasted like corrugated cardboard) and squash (not warm enough, awful texture). I finally got her mother to try the Puffs and the squash.
The discussion at dinner was around trying baby food. Still not something she is going to buy into.
Fast forward to discussion after dinner. Apparently Sydney has been chewing on the blackberry cord. As a concern for her safety Kim decided to to bite into the cord. It gave her a slight buzz.
Jane: You will eat the cord but not the food
Kim: Well I am concerned for her safety
Jane: And you are not concerned about the safety of food going into her mouth?
Kim: Well I trust Gerber
15 comments:
I had to laugh out loud at this one!!
I bow to you who are parents, I probably would have just let Sydney chew all the way through the cord before I thought about trying it myself.
hmmm...what to say about a mother that won't try fda approved food, but will chew on a cord just to see if it's 'safe' for her daughter to do the same. i was never allow to chew on cords - no matter how "safe" (or good tasting) they were! =P
thanks for the LAUGH, jane!!
:)
RO. Maybe that should be the baby shower game. Instead of "guess which candy bar is in the diaper" we should have done tasting/IDing baby food flavors?
This is hysterical! The day I stopped trying babyfood was the day I introduced meat. It was also the first and last time I fed my child meat babyfood! Yes, it tastes as bad as it looks!
Well, at least she will eating table food soon. I like to use real bananas; save some money.
Well, Just make sure to keep her away from the Laptop cord. My daughter put that in her mouth and jumped back about 3 feet. She got quite a jolt.
But I am with Kim. I trusted Gerber too, as there was NO way I was eating that stuff.
lmao!! I think it is hilarious that she won't try baby food but will try chewing on a cord!! TOO FUNNY!!! HA HA HA!!!
There are so many things wrong with this story. LOL.... I had coffee with Kim last week and Sydney was eating jambalaya. I said to kim, "i didn't know sydney could at people food". Kim's reply, "she really shouldn't be but she refuses to eat baby food." LOL. I bet if Sydney saw Kim eating her baby food she would finally start eating the food she is supposed to. That little girl is so funny.
I am number 9 :)
For the record I ate what she ate tonight, Chicken Piccata.
I never once tasted baby food with any of my three children. I guess I trusted Gerber too. I would never bite a cord either. Thanks for the laugh!
Amy
I tasted the Gerber "mashed potatoes" when Al was a baby, blehck!! First & Last jar I ever tasted!
I think we should let Queen B ID baby food next week...you know, to assist with her education :)
Do you recall the bet from KT? 1K for raw meat.... we need to collect our money!!!
Well, looky there, 12....now 13 comments

Finally I discovered the Resolve-DnsName cmdlet, which created an output I could easily work with within powershell. The the rest was the matter of finding out what to look for.

A Graduate School of Theology and Ministry
Campaign About Leadership News The Way Society
Now more than ever, our parishes, our communities, our Church and our world need the kind of leaders who are educated and formed by the kind of institution that CTU continually strives to be. One that employs both ancient wisdom and bold imagination. One that speaks in ways the ever-changing world can understand while remaining faithful to the unchanging truth of Christ’s saving gospel.
In that spirit of bold faith, this Anniversary Campaign offers a chance to reimagine what theological study and a seminary education can offer men and women — religious and laity — while building on a half century of success. The interrelated Campaign priorities detailed below will propel CTU forward in service to our local and global Church as the twenty-first century unfolds.
“Philanthropy is critical to Catholic Theological Union,” says Rev. Mark Francis, CTU President. “Our mission impacts the lives of future leaders in the Church and the communities they serve all over the world. Your philanthropic support creates the pathways for our mission to thrive, locally, nationally and globally, enabling our graduates and the greater CTU community to move the Church forward.”
This campaign will fuel innovation in theological education and programing that is responsive to current needs of the Church, as well as emerging societal needs.

Last night, we went to a New Year’s Eve party, an actual real-life party with cool people. I excited to go; I was so ready to throw away the old year and embrace 2015. It was only when everyone started counting down to midnight that it hit me: 2014 was kind of awesome.
My only wish for this year is that it is half as amazing as the one before it.
One of the coolest things I did in 2014 was to read 40 books. It was a challenge that I set for myself, and because I had a goal, I read way more then I would have otherwise. I also read some books that I never would have, because, why not? I ended up loving them! When I finished the 40th book, I expected to feel accomplished, but instead I felt empty. I had chased this for an entire year, and I wasn’t sure what to do with myself.
Naturally, I binge-watched Netflix until I just couldn’t watch Netflix anymore.
I thought about what I wanted to make of 2015. I could push harder, read 50 books? That would make about one book per week, and with a wedding and a move in the works, it just didn’t seem possible.
I reflected back to some of the days that I was worried I wouldn’t meet my goal. I spent some of my days off in a D.C. Panera, huddled over a cup of coffee, reading for six hours straight. Sometimes, that’s where I wanted to be, but some days, I felt like I had to be there–it just took the fun out of one of my favorite activities.
One of my favorite books in the reading challenge was The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Nighttime, by Mark Haddon. I read this while on vacation in San Diego, and really took my time with it. I listened to an interview with the author; I journaled about my favorite parts of the book. I put down the book feeling completely satisfied, and want to take this memory as inspiration for this year’s challenge.
My 2015 Reading Challenge will be not about quantity, but about quality.
I don’t know what that means yet, but I’m taking this blog along for the journey! Come along with me as I read (x) amount of books, chew them, digest them, enjoy them! I can’t wait to share them all with you!
Thank you all for the love and support you have shared with me in 2014. As always, happy reading! |

In the wake of the Islamic terrorist attack, sponsored, if not directed by the al Qaeda network, Charlie Hebdo (their site is down or overwhelmed as I write this) printed their next issue with an image of Muhammed on its cover.
Even as they cover the news of this story, though, as Howard Kurtz pointed out in his recent column, American “news” outlets refuse to print the image that is the center of this news story: Charlie Hebdo‘s cover. CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and the New York Times are among those refusing to complete their news stories by showing what it is they claim to be talking about. Kurtz wrote this about that decision:
[N]ews parenthetical in that cite gives the game away. News…executives…aren’t worried about safety, and they’re not concerned about gratuitous religious offense (they’re not worried about gratuitous offense at all—see the slurs and degrading stories they publish about Tea Partiers, conservative women, conservative blacks, anyone who doesn’t think like they do).
American news executives are cowards, plain and simple. And they’ve surrendered their erstwhile freedom to speak to Islamic terrorists in their cowardice. |

Andrea Boehlke of Random Lake, who was the 13th castaway to be voted off the island on the CBS reality show “Survivor: Redemption Island” in 2011, has another chance to win $1 million in “Survivor Caramoan: Fans vs. Favorites.” Boehlke, 23, is one of 10 favorites from previous shows to be chosen for the Bikal team. They will compete against the fans, new castaways on the Gota team. The show is set on an island in the Philippines. The 26th season will debut with a two-hour show that begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13. Boehlke, her parents Linda and Royal, family and friends will gather at the Silver Creek Fire Department Hall to watch the premiere. “If it’s like the last time, the place will be crazy. People dressed up in all sorts of ridiculous get-ups. It’s a rowdy group,” Boehlke said in a phone interview from New York, where she lives and works. All but the final episode have been filmed, but Boehlke and other contestants are sworn to secrecy. In her online biography, Boehlke said she has a good chance to take the top prize this year. “Besides having the outdoor stuff down, I now have one season under my belt and aim to come out of the gate swinging,” Boehlke said. “I’m hoping all the crazies will target each other right off the bat. “I am pretty good at making friends and alliances and can be pretty sneaky if I want to be. I plan to come out strong and aggressive in an all-or-nothing fashion and hopefully it works in my favor.” Boehlke moved to New York in 2011 shortly after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a degree in theater and communications. She’s had some acting jobs and is a host of UGO.com, an online entertainment site. “I get to talk about movies and news and fun things,” Boehlke said. “I really like hosting. It brings out me.” She is also a host for “Fit or Flop,” an online fitness show, and writes for Nu-Mode, an online fashion magazine. “I interview DJs and fashion designers. I don’t know much about fashion, but so far nobody has uncovered that fact,” Boehlke said. “I have a lot of work now, but I’m always applying for jobs on social media. “In New York, it’s all or nothing. A few months in the summer I wasn’t working and my agent wasn’t sending me out on anything.” She was notified in spring that there would be past contestants on the 2013 “Survivor,” so she went home to get in shape. She ran, bicycled, swam, did strength training and practiced archery. Her father buried idols (which provide immunity from being voted off the show) that she tried to find and devised other games. “Survivor” has been a favorite show of Boehlke and her family for years. In 2011, she was billed as the wholesome farm girl from Wisconsin, pictured with pigs and cows. Boehlke will have two Redemption Island contestants on her team — Phillip, a man with strong convictions who came in second, and Francesca, who was the first one voted off. “The first season, Phillip was ridiculous,” Boehlke said. “I know what it’s like to be with Phillip for 37 days. I will enjoy seeing how other people react to him.” Her team of former contestants is filled with strong personalities, Boehlke said. “On paper, we may look stronger because we played before, but the fans look more athletic and younger,” she said. “I think this one will be even more fun than Redemption Island.” The Wednesday night parties at Silver Creek Fire Department will be held as long as Boehlke is on the island, her mother said. Boehlke will come home for as many as she can. “I never appreciated my hometown until I moved to New York,” she said. “New York is great, but there’s nothing like the Random Lake area.” The firehouse is at W6566 Hwy. 144.

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and WHO Regional Director for Europe encourage Moldovan parents to continue vaccinating their children
WHO/Igor Vrabie
"Immunization saves lives. Apart from safe drinking-water, no other health intervention has reduced diseases and mortality as effectively and safely as vaccination. No child should suffer from illness, from lifelong disability or die due to vaccine-preventable diseases. Every child has the right to be immunized."
This was the message of Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess of Denmark when she visited the Republic of Moldova on 23–25 November 2016 in her role as Patron of WHO/Europe. Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO Regional Director for Europe, accompanied the Crown Princess on her visit.
The visit took place at the invitation of Minister of Health of the Republic of Moldova Mrs Ruxanda Glavan, with the aim of focusing on the importance of women’s and children’s health, maintaining momentum on immunization and addressing antimicrobial resistance. The programme included visits to the Ministry of Health; the National Centre for Public Health and its national vaccine storage facility; the Institute for Mother and Child Health; the State University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Nicolae Testemiţanu”; the University Centre for Simulation in Medical Training; and the University Clinic for Primary Health Care.
The Crown Princess and the Regional Director had valuable opportunities to meet with parents and children as they learned more about the health system in the Republic of Moldova, and specifically about immunization and maternal and child health within the country.
Public health progress highlighted
During their meeting at the Ministry of Health, The Crown Princess and the Regional Director were briefed on ongoing health reforms in the Republic of Moldova and the challenges remaining to be addressed. Dr Jakab welcomed the notable progress already made and currently underway in the area of maternal and child health, including the halving of infant mortality rates in the last 15 years, with maternal mortality following the same trend; WHO validation for eliminating mother-to-child transmission of syphilis; a national sexual and reproductive health action plan currently in development for 2017–2021; and a child and adolescent health and development strategy currently being finalized.
Dr Jakab commented at the meeting, “We hope the Government will continue to focus on improving the quality of maternal and child health care services and address health inequities, so that ultimately all women and their children have access to vital health services. With the commitment already shown by the Government, and with the support of development partners, including WHO, much can be achieved in this area.”
The meeting with key specialists at the National Centre for Public Health highlighted the need to unite all efforts for enhanced surveillance and control of antimicrobial resistance. Dr Jakab remarked, “The Republic of Moldova aims at adopting its comprehensive national antimicrobial resistance work plan soon. I was very glad to learn that all relevant sectors are involved in this work – the problem cannot be solved without multisectoral cooperation.”
The visit to the National Centre for Public Health’s vaccine storage facility provided an overview of vaccine storage and the conditions necessary to ensure the safety of the immunization process. After this visit, The Crown Princess shared her views with journalists, saying, “My children are vaccinated, as I was. The importance and benefits of immunization should be promoted regularly to remove suspicions. Also, we must remain focused on the scientific evidence related to vaccines and provide children with the right to vaccination.”
Honorary doctorates in recognition of contributions to public health
On 24 November 2016, the State University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Nicolae Testemițanu” brought together representatives of the university and scientific community for a special event at which The Crown Princess and Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab were awarded honorary doctorates (doctor honoris causa) and honorary professorships at the School of Public Health Management.
The visit continued the following day at the University Centre for Simulation in Medical Training, which has implemented modern education methods and simulation-based training to develop medical competences and skills.
Introductions to a young boy named Aron at the immunization office and a little girl named Ekaterina at the family doctor office of the University Clinic of Primary Health Care ended the visit on a very positive, personal note. As The Crown Princess highlighted in her public address, “Together we can build a society where no one is left behind and where the highest attainable standard of health is enjoyed by all, at all life stages.” |
Metabolism …
Is metabolism synthesized?
The metabolism of a cell consists of an elaborate network of interconnected pathways that enable the synthesis and breakdown of molecules (anabolism and catabolism).
What does metabolism mean? study of metabolism?
There are two main reasons for studying a metabolic pathway: (1) to describe, in quantitative terms, the chemical changes catalyzed by the component enzymes of the route; and (2) to describe the various intracellular controls that govern the rate at which the pathway functions.
What are the two types of metabolism?
There are two categories of metabolism: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is the breakdown of organic matter, and anabolism uses energy to construct components of cells, such as proteins and nucleic acids.
What is a fast metabolism?
A fast metabolism burns calories at a quicker rate, which explains why some people can eat a lot and not gain extra pounds. But you can’t entirely blame a sluggish metabolism for weight gain, says Dr. Lee.
What are the 3 types of metabolism?
These three metabolism types are endomorph, ectomorph, and mesomorph..
14.11.2016
Is it good to have a high metabolism?
The higher it is, the more calories you burn and the easier it is to lose weight and keep it off. Having a high metabolism can also give you energy and make you feel better.
What does metabolism do as individuals get older?
You disorder?
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
What are the central purpose of metabolism?
The three main purposes of metabolism are: the conversion of food to energy to run cellular processes; the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of metabolic wastes.
What is a good metabolism booster?.
27.07.2018
What are the two intermediates of metabolism?
cycle, red; fatty acid oxidation (FAO), green] produce not only ATP but also metabolic intermediates such as lactate, acetyl-CoA, and succinate, highlighted in colour. These are substrates for anabolic processes including lipid and nucleotide synthesis, but can also act as regulatory signalling molecules.

Regeneration Cabinet Member – Minutes – 5 November 2014
100 (15) COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP – UPDATE REPORT – The Director of Places submitted a report which provided information on the activities and progress of the Community Investment Partnership (CIP) for the previous year.
Partners in the Community Investment Partnership had participated in a number of events aimed at reducing youth unemployment and raising aspirations. Activities had taken place to achieve the Community Investment Partnership objectives, including the council’s apprenticeship and wage incentive programme, a speed networking event, Barton Employment Advice Fair, attending Ongo’s buzz events, Catzero project and consultation as part of the Westcliff regeneration project
The aims of the CIP were to:
Ø Contribute to the sustainable growth of the economy of North Lincolnshire
Ø Address barriers to economic growth including unemployment, aspirations and skills
Ø Inform the priorities of the Regeneration Strategy
Ø Deliver the key objectives within the Regeneration Strategy
A development day was held in February 2014 and was attended by 53 people. They represented a number of different organisations and a number of key issues emerged. These included a need to use intelligence to plan interventions; increased communication to share what was happening across North Lincolnshire to support people into training and employment; and, a need to take action.
Details of events and schemes that the CIP had been involved with were outlined within the report.
Resolved – That the information contained within the report be noted.
101 (16) GREATER LINCOLNSHIRE LEP INCORPORATION AS A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE – The Director of Places submitted a report which sought approval for the council to become a partner in the incorporated company “The Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership”.
The Government has made economic growth its highest priority. In support of this work, government has through the issuing of guidance rather than through statute encouraged upper tier and unitary councils to come together with other public bodies and private sector representatives to form Local Enterprise Partnerships.
The Greater Lincolnshire LEP is the vehicle for business and civic leaders to work together across Greater Lincolnshire to drive sustainable economic growth. It covers the administrative areas of, North Lincolnshire Council (NLC), North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) and the area of Lincolnshire County Council (LCC). Each of these councils were constituent members of the LEP.
The Greater Lincolnshire LEP was an informal partnership of various bodies and individuals governed by a Memorandum of Understanding.
The LEP was unincorporated. The arrangements were increasingly seen as too informal to support the role of the LEP in circumstances where they were not only becoming increasingly responsible for the strategic direction of economic regeneration activity, but also directly involved in decision-making around the expenditure of significant amounts of public money through the allocation of government and other grant funding.
The key points outlined within the report were to consider North Lincolnshire Council becoming a corporate member of the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership, and approval was sought for an NLC councillor to be nominated as a director of the GLLEPCo Board of Directors and a NLC councillor or officer to be authorised to represent the Council as member of the company including at general meetings.
Further details were outlined within the report.
Resolved – (a) That the incorporation of the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership as a Company Limited by Guarantee be supported; (b) that the proposal for North Lincolnshire Council to become a member of the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Company be approved; (c) that the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council be appointed Director of the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership Company, and (d) that the Cabinet Member appoints a member to the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership
102 (17) PLACES DIRECTORATE PLAN AND PERFORMANCE TARGETS 2014/15 – The Director of Places submitted a report which sought approval of the 2014/15 Places Directorate Plan and the key performance indicators and targets for the directorate.
An updated version of the Council Strategy was approved in June 2014. It set out the council’s vision, priorities and aims to change outcomes for all people living and working in the area.
In order to contribute to the successful delivery of the council strategy, each directorate produced its own directorate plan. This plan provided a profile of the directorate and set out how the directorate contributed to the overall vision and how it would help to deliver the council’s priorities.
The directorate plan was a key part of the council’s strategy and performance framework. It ensured that directorate developments were in line with the strategic outcomes and aligned resources to them. The plan included 35 key performance indicators that measured the delivery of the council strategy. Alongside this were a number of operational performance measures that were monitored regularly to provide assurance of effective delivery of services.
Further details were outlined within the report and appendix to the report.
Resolved – That the Places Directorate Plan 2014/15 be approved.
103 (18) SAXBY ALL SAINTS NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN – NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA STATUS: DESIGNATION – The Director of Places submitted a report to inform the Cabinet Member about the outcome of the six week consultation on Saxby All Saints Parish Council’s application to have their area formally designated for the purposes of preparing a Neighbourhood Plan. The report also sought approval to formally designate Saxby All Saints Parish Council’s area for the purposes of preparing a Neighbourhood Plan.
The Localism Act 2011 introduced new opportunities for local communities to get involved in the planning of their areas by preparing neighbourhood plans, neighbourhood development orders and community right to build orders. Town and parish councils and neighbourhood forums were empowered to shape and encourage delivery of new development.
The council processed applications for the designation of a neighbourhood area and were required to advertise the application for a six week period. This allowed comments to be made and be considered.
Full details of the proposal were outlined within the appendices to the report.
Resolved – That the Saxby All Saints Neighbourhood Area be formally designated and publicised.. |

My desire to write this library is based around two elements. First, there has been a long series of side channel attacks against cryptography, and no systematic attempt has been made to protect against such attacks. As a result, cryptographic libraries have spent the past decade in a cycle of "oops, a new attack has been discovered, we'd better fix that"; I don't like the idea of constantly chasing after problems, but would rather get things right the first time. Second, while working on my side channel attack against RSA on hyperthreaded systems, I was forced to read the large integer arithmetic code in OpenSSL; having significant experience in the area, I was rather less than impressed with the quality of the code, so I also had reason to want to develop a free replacement for OpenSSL.
I have established the following design principles for TRICL:

Working today to prevent unwanted wildfires tomorrow
The Greater Cederberg Fire Protection Association (GCFPA) helps landowners to prevent, manage and suppress wildfires by practising Integrated Fire Management (IFM). We aim to protect lives, livelihoods, property and the environment. We strive to work together today to prevent unwanted wildfires tomorrow. We serve the entire West Coast District Municipality, Namakwa District Municipality and some areas of the Cape Winelands District Municipality (Witzenberg Municipal area).
LEGISLATION
The National Veld and Forest Fire Act, (Act 101 of 1998) places specific responsibilities on the landowner from whose property the possibility exists that a fire may start and spread. The Act makes provision for the establishment of Fire Protection Associations (FPA’s). The GCFPA was registered (registration number is 985/01) in 2005 to comply with the Act.
We coordinate actions and activities to predict, prevent, manage and extinguish wildfires.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Cederberg gets its name from the Clanwilliam cedar (Widdringtonia cedarbergensis Marsh), a striking tree with fragrant timber that bursts into flames and is killed quickly when fire crosses its path. Endemic to the Cederberg, the slow-growing cedar is a rare sight today as it is on the brink of extinction after decades of unsustainable harvesting practices and the high frequency of veld fires.
OUR AIMS ARE:
- to prevent and control the accidental spread of wildfires
- to manage wildfires in natural areas to maintain diversity and ecosystems
- to manage wildfire hazards to minimise the risk and any adverse consequences
- to assist members in complying with legal requirements
Our members include government departments, parastatals, communities, and private landowners from the rural areas of the following local municipalities: Cederberg, Bergrivier, Matzikama, Swartland, Saldanha Bay, Hantam and Witzenberg.

To ensure that members comply with the National Veld and Forest Act (Act 101) of 1998, we offer the following services to our members:
EXTENSION SERVICES
We offer extension services in Integrated Fire Management (IFM) planning and implementation to reduce fire risk and to ensure legal compliance.
RISK MITIGATION
To minimise risk and to protect lives, livelihoods, property and the environment, we are actively busy in the landscape to establish fire breaks, asset protection zones, fuel reduction activities (controlled burns) and invasive alien plant species clearing operations. Trained Working on Fire teams – hosted within the GCFPA – execute this work. Our members are encouraged to use these teams to reduce the risk of wildfire on their properties, while their staff go about their day-to-day farming operations.
FIRE AWARENESS
Our various partners implement fire awareness actions while we, the GCFPA, coordinate our members and their staff throughout the entire domain. Fire awareness actions include the hosting of campaigns, distribution of materials, school- and community events, articles in newspapers and the daily delivery of the Fire Danger Index to all members. We also use social media at the GCFPA to improve awareness levels in digital media.
EQUIPMENT
We provide specialised equipment and tools for fire suppression and other fire management activities. This is to ensure that operations can be carried out safely. It includes mobile radios, repeater, hand tools and camping equipment. Our Working on Fire teams are also fully equipped with specified personal protective clothing (PPC). Fire beaters can be obtained at our office in Porterville.
PROTECTING VALUABLE ASSETS
At the GCFPA we have developed, tried and tested minimum guidelines to help prevent damage to our members’ assets. Fuel reduction activities include the establishment of fire breaks, engaging and supporting prescribed burns and clearing invasive alien plant species.
TRAINING
Coordinate and initiate training opportunities to our staff, members and their staff, although members will be responsible for payments, the GCFPA will provide all the logistical arrangements for such events.
PARTNERSHIPS
Partnerships are vital in assuring our ability to implement Integrated Fire Management in the landscape and to ensure long term financial sustainability. The maintenance of collaborative relationships with various institutions and organisations is, therefore, a pivotal aspect to sustain our services.
INTEGRATED FIRE MANAGEMENT PLANNING
Our GCFPA team compiles Integrated Fire Management Plans for our each fire management unit as well as for private properties within our domain. These plans focus on fire readiness, fuel reduction and risk mitigation. It provides the owner with a focus and priority approach to fire management on his/her property. Fire Management Plans are also used to obtain exemption from the Minister, to establish fire breaks on property boundaries, where needed.
FIRE DETECTION AND INITIAL ATTACK
With the use of the AFIS system, early fire detection enables the authorities to respond immediately, to contain the fire within the “Golden hour”. This can prevent the spread of a fire that could arguably become a so-called mega-fire.
DISPATCH AND COORDINATION
The dispatch and coordination of aerial and ground resources takes place in partnership with Working on Fire’s Dispatch Centre in Porterville. We ensure professional coordination and dispatching of resources to our members when needed.
DATA MANAGEMENT
With Geographic Information System (or GIS)-based mapping, the data management of all resources and membership contact details is maintained and available to key partners and emergency services during a fire incident.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & CAPACITY BUILDING
The GCFPA is responsible for the management of two Working on Fire bases, which ensures the employment of over fifty participants in the region. The GCFPA is, therefore, an active agent to roll out the Expanded Public Works Programme. These teams are at the disposal of our members at a minimal fee for fire-related work and are therefore an additional resource to your property while your farm workers can continue with farming operations.
REPRESENTATION OF MEMBERS
To overcome Integrated Fire Management challenges, our knowledgeable management team represents members on a local, provincial and national level. The GCFPA is also a proud member of the Western Cape Umbrella Fire Protection Association (WCUFPA). The WCUFPA represents all five Western Cape FPAs at Provincial and National Forums.
THE GCFPA IS NOT:
- a firefighting service
- to fulfil the role of the Fire Brigade Services
- receiving any income from the collection of rates levied from municipalities, nor do we pay over any funds towards municipalities
- participating in any structural firefighting operations or related aspects
- enforcing membership to the organisation – membership is voluntary
- an insurance company that helps members with insurance claims, or responsible for the payment of such claims

There are several reasons why a query that performs large I/O might require more reads than you anticipate:
The cache used by the query has a 2K cache and other processes have brought pages from the table into the 2K cache.
If Adaptive Server finds that one of the pages it would read using 16K I/Os already in the 2K cache, it performs 2K I/O on the other pages in the extent that are required by the query.
The first extent on each allocation unit stores the allocation page, so if a query needs to access all the pages on the extent, it must perform 2K I/O on the 7 pages that share the extent with the allocation page.
The other 31 extents can be read using 16K I/O. So, the minimum number of reads for an entire allocation unit is always 38, not 32.
In nonclustered indexes and clustered indexes on data-only-locked tables, an extent may store both leaf-level pages and pages from higher levels of the index. 2K I/O is performed on the higher levels of indexes, and for leaf-level pages when few pages are needed by a query.
When a covering leaf-level scan performs 16K I/O, it is likely that some of the pages from some extents will be in the 2K cache. The rest of the pages in the extent will be read using 2K I/O. |

San Franciscans who are sick of online shopping, rejoice! In the past two months, three new clothing boutiques have opened up in the city by the Bay. First former Vogue editor Emily Holt revitalized the fashion community with the debut of Hero Shop in the Tenderloin. Then the beloved New York brand Intermix opened on Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights. Finally, last week Pia the Store, a luxe new retail haven from Pia Øien Cohler set up shop on Jackson Street. To celebrate the launch of the new store, Øien Cohler invited her friends, who happen to be some of SF’s most stylish movers and shakers, to a floral-soaked opening event last Thursday night.
Photo Credit: Drew AltizerA relatively new resident to the Bay Area, Øien Cohler moved to the Silicon Valley with her husband last year. A lawyer with a fashion habit, she has stocked her 414 Jackson Street boutique with pieces from over 50 international collections including Giambattista Valli, David Koma, Zac Posen, and Nina Ricci. Her brother-in-law interior designer Eric Cohler created the store’s sleek minimal decor. With white walls, high ceilings, and light streaming in from plenty of windows, Pia the Store feels like it could be a chic fashion-lover’s loft.

For Thursday night’s event, a gorgeous display of hot pink hydrangeas, draped across the front door’s archway and along the DJ’s table (created by Natalie Bowen Designs) were a pretty focal point and hot spot for taking photos. However, the most Instagrammed images from the evening were taken in a human-scale kaleidoscope installation by artist Anna-Alexia Basile. Guests were invited to stick their heads into a hole at the end of a four-foot long triangular shaped tube and snap or selfie or have a friend take a picture from the opening at the opposite end. The resulting image was a fantastic personalized kaleidoscope of your face—such fabulous fun!

Notable attendees included Nicole Systrom and Priscilla Zuckerberg (wives to Instagram and Facebook founders, respectively), Sabrina Buell, Yves Behar, and Ali Pincus. Revelers sipped on colorful concoctions from the superb team at Rye on the Road and assortment of small bites—mini squash arancini and prosciutto crisps—and glasses of champagne were passed by an elegant staff. New York’s DJ Choimatic provided the soundtrack to the sophisticated and stylish soiree.

Located in Maine - Etna, Holden, Lyman, Sabattus
Emanuel started Hill View Mini Barns in 1999 shortly after getting married and moving to Maine. Over the years he has built the business from a sole (and soulmate) operation to over 30 employees, 5 sales locations, and many display locations. At the start he worked out of a garage that could barely fit one large building. He can be found in the shop advising the crew, in the office doing sales, or on the road picking up materials or talking to customers.
Randy works out of the Etna office. He spends a good deal of his time working on modular home and horse barn quotes making sure the customer gets what they need. He has worked for Hill View Mini Barns for several years and has a great understanding of the products offered from small storage sheds to homes and modular barns.
Adam works doing sales out of the Holden sales location. He has extensive design, drafting, and engineering experience and is a valuable asset to have at Hill View Mini Barns.
Adam will be able to guide you in your purchase decision whether it's a small storage building or a log sided home. Over the past few years his knowledge of the log sided homes has grown to the point where he's our 'go-to' person for that product.
The sales in the Lyman office are primarily handled by Barron Rau. Barron used to work in the shop and as a delivery driver, then came back to work in the office in Southern Maine. Because of his prior experience, he has a great overall understanding of the buildings. He'll be able to work with you to get the right size and style of building that meets your needs.
He has been with Hill View Mini Barns for several years and also brings with him his carpentry skill when needed. He works mostly in the southern part of the state, filling in the sales offices when needed and also in the new Gray, Maine office. Previously Wendell did deliveries for southern Maine. He's adept at sales, driving the truck, checking a job site, or making the occasional repair.
Before working in the Etna and Sabattus office at Hill View Mini Barns, Andrew had years of culinary experience and some farming background. He enjoys meeting people and learning more about them in the great State of Maine! He likes discovering their specific needs and figuring out how Hill View Mini Barns can best meet those needs. He never gets tired of seeing how many different ways there are to build four walls and a roof.
By the way, Andrew can also make a mean pizza!
Nick came to us after 4 years doing data entry at a local bank. He works mainly at the Etna office were he does sales and other related tasks. Most of his life has been spent in the central Maine area where he currently lives with his wife and 2 young children. Nick is a big Red Sox fan and loves to play softball and baseball. Also, he's skilled at drawing and has done many hand lettered, painted signs in his spare time that he sells and gives away.
If you purchase a stick built garage or a modular home, you're bound to see Mitch and a few of his assistants at your place. Mitch has been with Hill View Mini Barns for several years and is also a skilled carpenter, hard working, and agile. Many of the larger buildings get partially constructed in the warehouse, then loaded on the trailer for assembly at your site.
Pictured with Mitch (far left) are Travis and Ryan who work together and complete the job site crew.
A.J. makes long runs and also shorter deliveries between our locations. He's shown his expertise with his trucking in the time he's been driving for us. All of our drivers are responsible for their trucks and do a daily inspection before hitting the road so that they can be as safe as possible. A.J. has shown that he knows trucks and driving making him a great fit for our company!
Making trucking runs between our locations or out of State to pick up products takes a special person. Especially when there are oversized loads running through construction areas.
Quintin has the trucking as well as the mechanical experience to make that work as smoothly as possible. You're not apt to see Quintin often as he's working behind the scenes, but we wanted to picture him here as he's an important piece to making the Hill View Mini Barn process work well.
Brendell handles a lot of the deliveries in southern Maine. He works between the Sabattus, Gray, and Lyman lots. If you live in the southern part of the state you may see him with trailer remote in hand carefully unloading your building. He may be new to Hill View Mini Barns but he's proven himself to be a great fit. |
Democrats have consistently told one lie for decades.
But it just blew up in their faces.
And it could mean the end of the party.
For years, Democrats have paid lip service to “border security.”
Every amnesty bill Democrats like Chuck Schumer negotiates contains a fig leaf of border security that covers for amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
Now with the “abolish ICE” movement picking up steam, the Democrats falsehoods about supporting border security are becoming unsustainable.
After Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bounced the number four Democrat in the House – Joe Crowley – in a primary based on the strength of her call to abolish ICE, the left is finally tearing off the mask.
Donald Trump tweeted that what liberals really wanted was open borders:
“The Liberal Left, also known as the Democrats, want to get rid of ICE, who do a fantastic job, and want Open Borders. Crime would be rampant and uncontrollable! Make America Great Again”.
And Ocasio-Cortez proved the President was correct in an interview with AJ+ – which is owned by the Al Jazeera network.
The newly minted superstar of the radical left not only called for abolishing ICE, but Ocasio-Cortez demanded a “rite of safe passage” for illegal aliens to enter – and remain – in the United States.
Ocasio-Cortez declared:
“I think that immigration should be safe. I think that we should grant people a safe and documented rite.”
.”
This is a call to completely dissolve the borders of the United States.
The left’s brightest new star is freely admitting that anyone who wants to enter the United States illegally should be permitted to do so and be provided proper documentation so they can remain in the country.
Conservatives have long accused liberals of favoring completely open borders and opposing plans to deport illegal aliens.
Ocasio-Cortez has set the pace in the Democrat Party with her call to abolish ICE.
Pundits expect her call for the rights of “safe passage” for illegal aliens to become the official position of the Democrat Party much in the same way her call to abolish ICE picked up steam.
President Trump knows open borders and amnesty are unpopular with the American people.
Trump is positioning the midterm elections to be a referendum on the Democrats call to abolish ICE.
And now that the left can’t hide behind fake promises of border security, all the predictions of a blue wave in November could go up in smoke. |

the new greed deal IS a dirty secret........leaded secret that shows mental illness of the hysterical pushers
"greed deal"...Always appreciate you comments. For some reason I receive quite a few comments on the Facebook posts, but not too many here on the blog. Guess it is just easier to comment and post on Facebook. Just wanted you to know I always take note of your comments, even though I don't have time to respond.
thanks frank
Frank.......what I appreciate most is that you often post interesting and relevant article links that a person never sees anywhere else.
Very informative. Of course you realize some of my comments are just expressions of frustration with some of the unbelievable things going on today in our world.
Yes......I guess it is easier to post on FB........and I think one of the reasons folks tend to post there is that rightly or wrongly they believe more people will see their comments.
Another thing is..........sometimes it is just good entertainment to go back and forth with comments...........when you encounter a rabid leftist. |
Haven't done much worth posting the last few days. Today hasn't been much better. Thanks for making me feel a little better for not keeping in better touch with Judy.
Just came back from a walk around the short block in our neighborhood. The one thing about spring that I don't like is how dirty everything looks when the snow is finally all gone. It will be so nice to see the green come through. Have a couple of crocus coming up so that gives me a good feeling. It's a start anyway.
Next week Jack goes off to science camp with the Townview 5th graders again. I don't know how much longer that will continue. The teachers that run it are considering retiring or giving it up. I know he has said when those 3 are done so is he. He started going when my son Jack was in the 5th grade and has been going every year since. Since the 5th grade teachers go there is no need for subs, only 1 is needed for a 4th grade teacher who goes, so it only costs the district for that and gas for the bus. That is all paid for by the candy sales the kids have so I hope others pick up the slack. Parent volunteers round out the rest of the chaperone/staff/teachers so there is little cost there. Reimbursment for gas for the few who haul supplies, also from the Camp fund. It really would be a shame to see such a wonderful project end.
Well guess I had better go. Getting time to pick up Nicole and it is granny's nite out.
Have a good evening.
I was looking at the mounds of leaves left unraked by the building maintenance and thinking the same thing, how dull everything looks. I will be glad to see the green grass!
Have fun at granny's nite out.
Sorry to put you off dirty ground, but it going to be a beautiful the spring time has coming to your way soon.
Enjoy been grand ma which I has been all the time:-)
Granny's night out eh? No dancing on the tables!
It's really great that Jack volunteers like that. Soon, most school districts will really need more of their community doing that. How sad things are becoming here for our schools. Still some dirty snow banks around here, but at least it's slowly going away.
You'll see lots of green today!
That's really the truth about the first warm up of spring making everything kind of a mess. We haven't really had any budding or flowers to speak of yet so it's looking pretty bleak right now. None the less i surely do rejoice over some warmer weather. Sorry to hear about the project being threatened...hopefully they will find a solution to that so it can continue. Blessings my friend, have a good day!
One volunteer is worth ten pressed men is an old Navy saying, I hope they manage to keep it up.
We are really coming into spring where I am way down south in UK England Daffodils are everywhere, and the temperature is climbing, slowly but in the right direction, ah! the bliss
of sunshine.
Girlfriend..I wish I was along on that Grannie's Night Out. |
Assistive technology such as telecare is being used more and more but we receive very little feedback from people who use it in Buckinghamshire. In light of this, we wanted to find out what people think about the telecare service they receive from Buckinghamshire County Council.
What did we do?
We developed a survey asking for people’s views on various aspects of the service and how telecare had helped them.
What did we discover?
Our survey revealed that a third of those who responded did not know or were not sure how to make sure their telecare equipment worked properly or who to contact if their equipment went wrong.
What we did next
We compiled all our findings into a report together with a set of recommendations for Bucks County Council. Among other recommendations, we stated that every user and their relatives, without exception, should know how to use the equipment, how to check it is working and what to do if it goes wrong. To read our full recommendations, you can download the report below.
We shared our findings with Buckinghamshire County Council, the Health and Wellbeing Board and the Assistive Technology Partnership Board and asked for a response. All our reports are shared with Healthwatch England as the independent national champion for people who use health and social care services.

Denny –
I appreciate your post on this. I believe that you are representing a solid,biblical approach to the matter. Let me pose a question to you, though. What is one’s company dictates that they respect transgender identities in the workplace. Would the manager instructed to call Jenner “Caitlyn” by biblically sound in refusing to do so, even if it jeopardized his job? Would it be an Acts 5:29 situation, or a necessary concession in order to live peaceably?
Here’s a fascinating related article:
Saw that too. Agree on it being a good read. Both in tone and content. (Contrast with Matt Walsh’s annoying response to the Jenner issue).
That said, this bit stuck.
Is the trend toward sexual identity following genetic constitution? Seems so. But five of the sixteen were living as women. To me, that says “genetic constitution” is far from determinative.
It was an enjoyable read. I thought it weird that his chief way of determining who was male or female was based on their interest in having babies, or if they liked playing Cowboys & Indians. A good third of my female friends were entirely cold to the idea of having children and only had them because they were pressured into it. And then there were my female friends who wanted nothing to do with dolls & preferred sports. They’re no less female because of it.
That reflects the sample selection bias of your particular social circle. It also says something about the decadence of a culture in which many women prefer dogs to kids.
wait a minute . . .
many MEN prefer dogs to kids also . . . even in the ways that are selfish, men and women share a common humanity
. . . but it is important to remember that this common humanity also includes what is the best about us . . . our bond with Christ through the mystery of the Incarnation
Women are not a sub-species. They are fully human persons.
Men are not a sub-species. They are fully human persons.
Our Lord was fully human and fully divine.
The Incarnational bond Our Lord shares with both men and women is the same bond:
our common humanity.
Ryan then burns a straw man. Was the question at issue whether women are subhuman? No. The issue, as Ryan himself brought up, is women who disdain motherhood.
It wasn’t just the gender stereotypical interests though. Eight of the fourteen assigned to be females were self-identifying as male at the time of the followup.
Chris –
I understand what you are saying, but I think you are misreading a bit.
Dr. McHugh writes.” While it is true that many females enjoy these socially boy-ish activities, that does not undo his point.
The main point here seems to be that a majority of the subjects had identified so strongly with their male genetics that they had since declared themselves male. While they “male-type tendencies” existed in all of them, this is not the main argument, though it does tend to make one go, “Hmmm . . .”
Whatever we laymen make of these abbreviated results, they were deemed significant enough to prompt a respected segment of the medical community reconsider their stance on sex-change counseling and procedures. In a world that is insistent in the assertion that we create our own reality (particularly in the area of sexuality), this article represents another aspect of the argument. Of course, this type of opinion does not please the self-idolizing masses. Rather, declaring things once understood as fixed to be relative allows one ultimate freedom to behave as they please. As Dr. McHugh writes,.

I understand what the DR was doing, its just that including “hockey, hunting, karate, and bobsledding” in your list of evidence that “proves” someone is male or female undermines your argument. It proves that he’s hung up on chauvinistic definitions of gender. Not just chauvinistic but increasingly anachronistic. As I recall Sarah Palin said that she knew how to hunt and field dress a moose and that hockey moms were “bulldogs with lipstick”.
Hi CHRIS,
i was offended by the stereotype, myself. My daughter played field hockey, and was in karate from the time she was a little girl. The other sports she was interested in were skiing and rowing crew while in college. I’m not sure WHAT the thinking is that is going on in some peoples’ heads about the differences between women and men as to career choices, sports, military duty, education, etc. but I know that the ‘hockey . . . bob sledding’ remark was out of line badly, and I commend you on calling it out. Respect for women is a vital consideration in Christianity and in the world today. There should be no tolerance for the disrespect of women as human persons made in the image of God. If people don’t realize what ‘disrespect’ looks like, they need to be told, and apparently that is the deal for many people. Education is better than criticism when people don’t have a clue what they are doing.
Another thing: my niece served in Iraq and in Afghanistan and she has PTSD as a result of her duties there. I never want to see our American soldiers disrespected . . . a lot of them have given their best to their country and we owe them no disrespect if they are women. My niece is a highly-trained trauma nurse. She also is qualified for military combat, if need be. No amount of chauvinism can take away those honors from her, nor should they. Chauvinism is a pitiful way for men to behave. Chauvinists abound in certain cultures, but they have no place in our country abusing our women citizens, no.
Nurses have often performed heroic service on the battlefield. That’s admirable.
It is, however, inappropriate to use that as leverage to justify women in combat. That’s no different than the claim that we must honor homosexuals who volunteer for the military. Whether or not that’s legitimate should be decided as a matter of principle, and not emotional manipulation. You can’t coerce my approval for doing something I didn’t ask–any more than squeegee bandits are entitled to demand my money after they presume to wash my windshield at a stoplight.
Hi STEVE,
perhaps you have served in the military? then you would know very well how to honor women who have served and given their lives for their country . . .
sometimes, in the ‘culture’ where women ‘don’t belong’ in certain fields because they are women;
we find men who haven’t seen women in action as professional soldiers, fighter pilots, and nurses stationed in outlying field hospitals . . . these men sometimes have NOT served their country in the military, so how COULD they know?
I think your perspective might change if you had seen my niece present at an IUD explosion where she saved the life of one of our soldiers on the spot by clearing his airway and controlling his hemorrhaging . . . then again, some things don’t make a difference to people who have their priorities . . . I do know that the young man whose life she saved appreciated her presence ‘in combat’ . . . when you serve in today’s wars, ‘in combat’ can be anywhere the terrorists have left their traps.
Perspective. It makes a difference.
Once again, you resort to emotional manipulation because that’s all you’ve got.
Your appeal is interchangeable with homosexual soldiers who say that if we just got to know them and know their contributions, then we should honor their service.
I’m not somebody who can be manipulated that way. You’re resorting to a popular tactic of trying to shame people into agreeing with you through purely emotive appeals. That doesn’t work on me.
I’m under no obligation to be grateful to somebody for doing something I didn’t ask them or want them to do. You can’t impose a sense of obligation on me. Don’t demand that everybody rubber-stamp your choices in life. Don’t simultaneously make your own choices, then demand that we approve of your choices.
You’re resorting to the emotionally appealing, but ethically subversive principle that we’re morally disqualified from commenting on what we haven’t personally experienced. Thus, only soldiers have a right to comment on who should serve.
Aside from the fact that you blow right past the article I cited in which female soldiers admit that women are unsuited to combat roles, the general principle you rely on would mean, if carried out consistently, that I’m not entitled to comment on police brutality unless I’m a policeman, I’m not entitled comment on judicial misconduct unless I’m a judge, I’m not entitled to comment on prosecutorial misconduct unless I’m a DA, I’m not entitled to comment on suicide bombers unless I’m Muslim, I’m not entitled to comment on medical malpractice unless I’m a doctor, and so on and so forth. Sure you really want to go down that road?
Do you think women have no right to comment on male behavior since women don’t know what it’s like to be a man?
Perspective. It makes a difference.
On the question of women in combat:
Christine and Chris –
There is no stereotype present here. There is a great difference between making a descriptive observation like, “Group A preferred Activity X more often, while Group B preferred Activity Y more often,” and a prescriptive one like, “Group A should prefer Activity, while Group B should prefer Activity.” The “hockey . . . bobsledding remark,” as Christine calls it, was merely one of the observations of what was without being determinative of what should be. In fact, as I stated before, this observation was not even the point, but only an ancillary observation. If, in reporting my observation of children on a playground, I state that I observed ten girls and one boy on the swings and one girl and ten boys on the soccer field, for you to say that I am being chauvinistic is unfounded.
Christine – I agree with all you said about respect for women and its importance to Christianity. Also, I have great respect for your daughter’s service to our country. However, to make that accusation of this article is to build a straw man just so you can attack it. Additionally, it does nothing to add to the discussion at hand.
– Chris
I’ve been out of this debate for a while, but if we can’t say “in general boys tend to be more…” or vice versa then we are truly screwed as a society. And forgive me if my usage of the word “screwed” offends, but it’s an accurate description. There are exceptions and there are rules. Exceptions don’t negative rules. It also reminds me of what Dennis Prager often says “truth is not a left wing value.” Obviously there are dishonest people on both sides, but on the left, there is a pretty widely held belief that it’s ok to lie if “the cause is just.” As Christians we have to value truth, defend it, uphold it, even when (in our hearts) it might make us uncomfortable.
Reach Records artist KB was asked about the Jenner situation on the Sway in the Morning radio show, a satellite radio show discussing hip hop culture and music. I thought KB provided a pretty fair response, without unnecessary provocation, but yet still declaring the sacred work of our Creator.
I don’t think it’s really that complicated. To refer to Jenner as Caitlin is to participate in a charade, much like it is for Christians to recognize same sex marriage. We can still have compassion for him as someone who needs serious psychological help, and pray for his conversion without agreeing that he’s a woman now. I think the person who suggested that not calling him Caitlin is detrimental to evangelism should go back and reread the NT, and the clarity and conviction that Paul, Peter, James, John, John the Baptist, and Jesus himself all spoke with…
My latest blog entry is all about understanding the Bruce Jenner story, and the media, but I think the focus should really be on why is this a heroic act? There is a war against the definitions of male/female in our culture, as you have rightly pointed out Denny…
Yes, love the Bruce, hate the Caitlyn.
I can’t hate ‘Caitlyn’ any more than I could have contempt for the ‘Bruce’ who suffered.
The trials this individual has been through are personal and extremely difficult . . . if I haven’t been able to help bear their burden, how can I then address the person with Christian integrity ???.
It is HIS understanding of ‘Caitlyn/Bruce’ that I trust. Only His.
We will find Christ present within the sufferings of ALL humankind, including those of ‘Caitlyn/Bruce’.
Are we called just to compassion? Or to something infinitely more healing?
Look on Christ and find your response to ‘Bruce/Caitlyn’ within Him. Let your response be a reflection of His merciful love and it will convey the Peace of Christ to the trans person . . . the same Peace of Christ is present in your own soul.
God’s judgment is much greater than we can envision, too. Keep in mind that divine forgiveness is predicated on contrition.
You are not an arm of ‘God’s judgment’, though. You are called to serve and to love. In the name of all that is holy, God is the ONLY One who knows all that there is to know in order to judge any human person rightly.
Men may judge one another and punish one another, but men don’t see the bigger picture, they don’t see inside men’s souls.
God reserves judgement for Himself alone. Put your stones down, my friend. Go and be thankful for the good in others, and in yourself. It comes from God, this goodness. 🙂
To begin with, you’re changing the subject. In addition, you fail to distinguish between eschatological judgment, which is God’s prerogative, and the human administration of justice, both in terms of church discipline and penology.
Steve writes: “Keep in mind that divine forgiveness is predicated on contrition.”
You can’t very well repent of behavior you don’t believe is a sin, though.
Do you believe that the founders of the Southern Baptists – men like Richard Furman – were in error when they defended the practice of slavery based on their understanding of Scripture?
If they are in error, it appears they never repented of it. Are they in Hell?
James: Your point is well taken. If you don’t believe in sin or don’t believe you have sinned, then you are not able to repent. However, perhaps you will agree with me that whether a person believes in something (or does not believe in something) does not determine whether that thing is real. In which case, sin is either real or not regardless of what we subjectively believe. If it is real, then there are significant consequence for failing to deal with it. If it’s not real, then none of this really matters. Yet, here we both are commenting as if it does matter. Maybe, just maybe, there might be something to this sin thing?
Gus, of course, objectively speaking, what God finds offensive is what God finds offensive.
The question is whether one can have faith in Christ and still be condemned for not knowing we offended Him in the first place.
James: Thanks for the response. I really like the conversation, such as it is, in these comments.
Maybe that suggests we err on the side of caution? Let’s assume that most of the time our likely first thought about anything is probably just that: “our thought” rather than God’s. We can thus know that more often than not we are likely offending God because we tend to worship at the altar of self more than any other altar. My suspicion is that the occasions when we are unsure if we’ve offended God are much fewer than those when we have some sense we’re on the wrong track. Of course, there are plenty of times when we know we’ve simply point blank violated Scripture, but those are easily identifiable and not what we’re talking about here.
You’re confusing the general recognition that a Christian is a sinner with a detailed awareness of what, in particular, he’s guilty of. But sin itself creates blind spots. A Christian can be penitent about sin even though he may be oblivious to a sinful attitude he has.
You got it, Steve Hays.
The reverse is the truth. Contrition, humility, repentance, and faith are predicated on God’s forgiveness. Ephs.4:32
Eph 4:32 doesn’t say all the things you impute to it.
But we cant do that unless God gives us the ability?
Why do you think God demands the impossible? Every here of the therapeutic paradox?
“Why do you think God demands the impossible? ”
The bible answer as I understand it to drive us to Christ and the Gospel. My experience in practical application, it is a mind game to mess with you. It is also very effective in maintaining control through utter fear and terror.
There was this movie where one character asked a preacher basically the Christians think the Christians are saved and the Muslims think the Muslims are saved etc. The Character said what if none of us is saved? I lean towards the none of us.
God demands the impossible in order that we might know our inability and cry to Him for help. A drowning man is helpless, and it is only when he knows his helplessness that he will let the one seeking to save him acts he must. Like the man with the demon possessed son who cried, “Help my unbelief,” i.e., help me overcome my unbelief. I am not able to cope with my inability to believe. Ever hear of therapeutic paradoxes?
Not sure if that was meant to be sarcastic or not towards me, but that’s a great line! Mind if I use it?
You can do whatever you want. I would like to clarify that my statement wasn’t shorthand for hating the name change.
“Ever hear of therapeutic paradoxes?” Yes
All the rest, yes thats the way it works on paper, but in reality, if you need and admit it, you will be gutted. Been there and done that. Thanks.
Baloney! Maybe what you needed was EDM.
LOL that really helps, by the way I had to look EDM up. Thanks for the conversation I do hope you have a nice day.
Evidently your training was not in eclectic psychotherapy. Sorry your day has gone wrong. 🙂
Denny,
How do we respond (if at all) to those who use the scriptures to ‘accuse’ us of unnecessary provocation? This has been a tactic that works well to put Christians on the defensive. It is employed by many on your blog as well. I am sure you will see it employed in the comments for this post.
Great point!
Christians have no need to be ‘on the defensive’ for themselves . . . God provides for them to be defended against evil
Christians ARE, however, to defend those who are in need, who are being abused, who have been injured, who need protection, who are fragile in mind and body, who are threatened by those who would take advantage of them . . .
Christians are protectors and defenders of OTHERS.
Christians have too much to be thankful for to be concerned for their OWN well-being in THIS world. They belong to the next world . . . to the Kingdom of God, and for them, all shall be well.
Amen, and that being said we have a moral obligation to protect the most innocent among us the very impressionable school kids from the dangers of the gay agenda, and gender confusion that is part of multiculturalism.
Brian, excellent points!
I have an unusual last name that no one knows how to pronounce. Growing up I’d tell people that it didn’t matter how they pronounced my name. A lot of people were uncomfortable with that because they felt it was disrespectful to mispronounce my name.
I get it now. A person’s name is a basic way we show someone respect. It shows that we care when we make an effort.
Wilson’s approach is disrespectful. He’d rather foist his views on someone who disagrees with him by using name-calling. That seems pretty juvenile to me. Grow up, Mr Wilson.
To the contrary, it’s Bruce Jenner and the power elite who are foisting their views on everyone else. That’s a form of intimidation: “You *must* call me Caitlyn!”
It reflects the dictatorial methods of the power elite.
Wilson never suggests calling Jenner a name he disagrees with…unless he refuses to be called Jenner.
As a rule, we should call people what they want to be called. If Clive Staples Lewis wants to be called Jack, that’s what his family and friends ought to call him.
When, however, names are propagandistic, when names are used to promote something false or unethical, then we should resist.
Finally, some foolish parents who gives their kids embarrassing names. In that case, it would be better for friends to call him by a nickname that’s not embarrassing.
The only courteous thing to do is to call him by his chosen name and pronoun. There’s nothing unBiblical about that.
One thing about transgenderism though. We we don’t know about medical science pales next to what we do know about it. I wouldn’t be so quick to say that those people who experience gender dysphoria have a deficiency of the spirit. People experiencing GD are in real mental pain and anguish. Its not unlike people who experience Body Integrity Disorder ( ) and deeply wish to amputate a limb (one guy even laid down on railroad tracks to lose a leg). I think its a legitimate medical/mental illness and we, as Christians, should respect it as such. In extreme cases medical treatment may be necessary.
About this so-called gender binary. Almost the whole of what we consider “masculine” and “feminine” isn’t determined by DNA but is determined by sociology. In the 1800s pink was for boys and blue was for girls. But after lots of advertising in the ’30s it switched. Suddenly pink was for girls and blue was for boys. The Smithsonian has a powerful display on this. Men and women are much more similar than we are different. We shouldn’t forget that.
That trivializes the issue. I think everyone understands that some emblems of masculinity and femininity are arbitrary social conventions. But that hardly means gender is reducible to cultural symbolism.
If fact, the argument backfires. Emblems of masculinity and femininity reflect or project an underlying difference. Absent that underlying difference in the first place, there’d be no corresponding emblems. It’s different psychology, different hardwiring, that motivates these differential expressions of masculinity and femininity.
Ironically, Bruce Jenner has become a parody of a woman. It’s a stereotype. But that bears witness to the underlying difference.
There are different hormones at play, and obviously different anatomy, if that’s what you mean by hardwiring, but that’s about it. Gender is mostly reducible to symbolism. Most of what we adduce to “womanhood” goes back to how little girls were raised and socialized. Women aren’t inherently “weaker” they’re taught to be submissive. I have a sister who was raised as a ‘tomboy’ by my father. She wore pants back when doing so was scandalous, rides horses, and is a better sharpshooter than any man I know.
But this isn’t a scientific debate, this is a spiritual discussion. The Bible itself is mostly silent on the differences between men and women with only about 2 dozen verses on the subject out of 31 thousand. Any differences we’ve created not explicitly defined in the Bible–and we’ve created many–are wrong. Even some in the Bible (eg, wearing braided hair, gold or pearls) have more to do with ancient times than with modern times.
Manhood and womanhood are fundamental biblical doctrines. And they, in turn, become major theological metaphors.
Chris, with all due respect, I think your leftism supersedes your Christianity. Male and female brains have vast differences from birth, which has nothing to do with nurture or environment. All throughout Scripture fundamental differences between men and women are noted. I think it’s also safe to say that homosexuality is such a huge deal to God, because it denies His created moral order.
Hi BRIAN,
I don’t think a person with same-sex attraction would set out to consciously deny God’s ‘moral order’, no,
. . . these individuals carry a burden that you have been spared,
and they may not comprehend why they have feelings that are not considered ‘the norm’;
many ‘know’ they are ‘different’ from a young age, but still it is not a choice for them.
And ‘choice’ is a necessary factor in ‘denying’ God.
When it comes to God’s created ‘natural order, what a Christian person with same-sex attraction is facing, according to the Church, is a ‘disorder’, and this is, for them, not a sin but a burden to carry. The mission of the Church is to be there for them to help them bear that burden within the context of the Church’s teachings on sex and marriage. St. Ambrose of the early Church offered this insight:
”
Christiane, thank you for your thoughtful comments. You challenge me to be more compassionate towards those who are afflicted with such a terrible burden. I have no doubt that this is a consequence of the fall, and certainly not a design flaw of Almighty God’s. Life is hard for every man, woman and child on the planet. For many it is brutally hard, and it’s always been that way throughout history.
With all due respect, I think what you’re missing here is that we can reach out with compassion and understanding towards people who are hurting in the LGBT lifestyle while simultaneously resisting the radical gay agenda. In other words the answer is not to change society to accommodate the transgendered, but to truly offer them support and help. We can’t compromise the truth of Scripture, and nor can we lower the bar of expectations. We all fall short and must repent, so that God can transform us into new creations.
Hi BRIAN,
I don’t think Christians need to ‘react’ to provocations, perceived or actual, because that is not a part of the mission that Christ has ordered for them. ‘Reacting’ involves a lot of fear, opposition, and negativity . . . all things that are born out of lack of faith in the power of the Holy Spirit to move where He wills . . .
Remember this truth:
The patience that endures all things with love, in the end, offers to the ‘other’ the very Source of that love.
Christiane, I’m still not sure what you would have us do in light of such attacks on biblical truth, like the distinctions between male and female that are occurring in our society? Do we not stand for and defend the truth of Scripture? What did Jesus mean when he commanded us to be “salt and light”? I think disengaging from the culture and failing to speak the truth has been disastrous for both the culture, and the church. I would encourage you to read Genesis 1:26-28 what has rightly been called the Cultural Commission.
Brian, actually my Leftism comes from the Bible. Why do you think there are vast differences between the brains of men and women? What are they? Where is the empirical evidence? What neurologist or scientist documented these differences?
As far as homosexuality goes, it certainly is a sin, but its no bigger or lesser than any other sin (except, of course, blaspheming the Holy Ghost). All sin is sin, and all sin will be judged by God. Transgenderism is very different than homosexuality. Intersexual conditions are a real medical phenomenon. Genitalia and sexual related hormones may not fully develop or develop at all. There was the case of a S. African athlete, Caster Semenya, who looked to be fully female, but after Olympic doctors tested her they realized that her significant strength/speed advantage derived from her body’s over production of testosterone, which was as much as a man’s. They ruled that she was male & banned her from competing as a female.
So based on what little we know about intersex issues I’m uncomfortable castigating the man. Of course, God knows the truth of whether this is a medical condition or a spiritual deficit and He will ultimately judge it. And I’m comfortable with that! 🙂
Notice Ryan’s bait-n-switch, where he confounds physical birth defects (intersex) with a psychological condition (gender dysphoria), as if that’s interchangeable. But, of course, a person can suffer from gender dysphoria while having perfectly normal sexual anatomy. It tells you something about their agenda when proponents resort to this sleight-of-hand.
Hi, Steve. No bait and switch. I’m not conflating Intersex with Transgenderism. I’m explicitly saying that they’re quite possibly one and the same. If you can be born with screwed up “plumbing” you can also be born with screwed up “software”. There are lots of conditions we know to be mental illnesses today–eg, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, epilepsy, etc–that long ago people thought to be demonic possession. But the truth of the matter these are all conditions brought on by physical problems with the brain. Of all human organs we know the least about the brain. I lost my mother to epilepsy. Her sudden death was accompanied by some bizarre behaviors. I was shocked and saddened to learn that with the great majority of epilepsy cases we never find the cause–because we know so little about the mechanics of the brain. It made me profoundly humble about speaking grand pronouncements about what is and isn’t determined by medical conditions–like gender dysphoria. Not very long ago people would’ve tried exorcisms on my mother. I, myself, had no idea at the time that her behavior stemmed from the epilepsy (our neurologist was pretty horrible about communication). So with so many questions why not leave the judgment to God? He knows with perfect certainty. Can you say with 100% certainty that there’s no chemical imbalance or physical problem that causes transgenderism?
They are obviously not one and the same inasmuch as there are people who claim to suffer from gender dysphoria who have perfectly normal genitalia. They are not intersex.
Ryan, thanks for responding, but do you honestly believe that leftism and biblical Christianity are compatible in this, or any other area? And with all due respect, you can rail against sound science, and common sense all you want, but your arguments are based on anecdotal evidence, and outlier cases.
Of the 2 parties, Brian, I think the Democrats come closer to Jesus’ commandment to love one another as we love ourselves. About the only people the GOP loves are Wall Street bankers.
I’m not actually railing against sound science. I’m actually making an argument that we should give room for the science to bloom. The fact of the matter is that science doesn’t yet know why people suffer from Gender Dysphoria or Body Integrity Disorder or Autism or many other mental illnesses. Its an indisputable fact that not very long ago people thought these were spiritual disorders not mental disorders. I think its likely that in another 50-100 years scientists will have discovered what medical issues cause Gender Dysphoria. If there’s anything the Caster Semenya case should teach us its that outward signs of gender can be misleading (even to the person themselves). So the best course of action is to refrain from judgment. God doesn’t need our help to judge and in that light only he without sin should cast the first stone.
Thanks for clarifying, and all I can say is “wow, you are the perfect example of why churches should make biblical worldview training mandatory.” You honestly think the Democrats are closer to Scripture on defending the sanctity of life of the unborn, defending traditional marriage, religious freedom, supporting Israel? And since you mentioned it, where in the Bible does it say that the government is supposed to take care of the poor by taxing productive people in order to give to (at least some) people who are able bodied and lazy, or addicted to drugs and alcohol? Doesn’t that go against the whole “if you don’t work, you don’t eat” principle that Paul laid out in 2 Thessalonians 3:10?
Dear Brian: While I agree with you that the Democrats hardly come close to representing our Lord’s views concerning the matters you mentioned, I would also point out that the Republicans as well as the Democrats have a tendency to forget about such commitments when the corporations let their feelings be made known. Just think about the influence of this headline in the Durham North Carolina Newspaper, IBM opposes RFRA. Our Republicans got cold feet at that bit of knowledge about like those in Indiana. Could it be due to the fact that the corporations fund both parties’ campaigns? And when 20 per cent of the people (really a smaller amount than that, I think), own 80 of the wealth of these United States, you have a ready made situation for a conspiracy to succeed, one that cares naught for God nor man (including not only aborted babies of both sexes but penal slavery and cruel prisons as well). Private prisons lend themselves to mistreatment and a disregard of human rights.
Dr. James, your point is well taken in that I have no use for RINO/establishment Republicans who won’t uphold and defend the constitution, but the key difference is that there are some decent, and honest people within the Republican party. They may have to fight against their leadership to uphold those eternal principles, but the party platform is not antithetical to traditional biblical values either. So I can’t say that both parties are equally bad. One is clearly worse than the other. My point with Ryan was that conservative principles line up with Scripture. You could argue that so do many classical liberal positions as well, but you can’t make the argument that progressive/left-wing values are in line with Christianity.
John Frame makes some good points in this regard:
I think the GOP’s politicians are mostly false prophets. 2 Thess 3:10 provides a great example. The modern GOP has corrupted the Bible. GOP Congressman Stephen Fincher cited that very verse when he voted to slash food stamps, even though with his next bill he voted to increase the corporate welfare which has already resulted in taxpayers giving him $3.5M.
When Paul wrote that chapter he was singling out Christians who were being disruptive. He said that it wasn’t that he didn’t have a right to such help (Jesus enjoins us to help the poor), but that these folks were busybodies who were causing trouble. Well, indeed, idle hands do the Devil’s work. The GOP has promoted the fiction that the richest people are the most productive. But we’re all God’s children and our worth is not determined by how much we earn. Not even our “productivity” as you call it is determined by how much we earn! That’s a teaching of libertarian false prophets, like Paul Ryan, who say they’re Christian in one breath, and then praise Ayn Rand with the next.
As far as “Biblical Worldview Training” goes, I’m a literalist born & bred. With 5 services a week at our church and pop being the pastor, I couldn’t have escaped it if I wanted to. The man didn’t even like sports. Even at dinner that was all we talked about 🙂
Sandra, if you are truly doing the Lord’s work then I applaud you, but my concern is that you’re not calling on the people to repent of their sins and to be washed and cleansed. God never wants to leave us in our sin and broken state. We are all called to make righteous judgements based on what the Word of God says, and ultimately we all have to repent all of us. All are without excuse.
Chris: Are doctors amputating the limbs of those with Body Integrity Disorder and how do you know that also does not have a strong spiritual component?
Actually, it’s extremely demeaning to women to call Bruce by a woman’s name and treat him as if he’s a real woman. That cheapens the meaning of womanhood.
Bruce Jenner does not and cannot epitomize what is good and distinctive about womanhood. He’s a parody of a woman. A travesty.
Moreover, continuing to call him Bruce is to honor the fact that he’s still a man, underneath the cosmetic surgery and digital enhancement. That accords him greater dignity than he accords himself.
I’m amazed at the sheer lunacy of the left. They are falling all over themselves in adulation for a man who has a severe disorder. They can’t keep their arguments straight anymore. Is gender fluid or immutable? Is gender a social construct or something that has specific qualities? They are contradicting themselves at every turn.
“Michelle Goldberg, senior contributing writer for The Nation, suggested that using the word “women” in abortion language “excludes trans men.”
The only appropriate response to these people is ridicule and a refusal to participate in their madness. Orwell said it best – “In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Pronouns are attached to the sex of some body, whereas a forename cannot be inherently attached to a particular sex because names are empty labels. Andrew means Man, but there is no real reason why a woman (who knows herself to be a woman) cannot be named Andrew.
When Maurice Micklewhite changed his name to Michael Caine, he was saying “new label despite same person”. Likewise when Vincent Furnier changed his name to Alice Cooper, he was not saying “new label because new person”. He was just embracing a persona. Bruce Jenner is saying “new label because new person”, yet his sex has not changed so his pronouns have not either.
To refer to a male through a name generally thought of as being ‘for females’ cannot inherently be wrong, whereas to describe him though female pronounces is inherently wrong – because you would be talking about some body else!
A planned conspiracy. Not natural. Not a mere social aberration. Not a historical development. Tried a planned effort, backed by money, involving in-depth study and knowledge of American ways and how they might be corrupted. Of course, it works even better, if the actors do not know that their scripts were written for them long ago or that there is a natural fruition of secularism, atheism, and corporate capitalism (remember the Corporations that opposed the Religious Freedom Acts? And how they have ordered their same sex couples to get married?) which can be pushed by certain guiding principles and instigators. Now what will we do, when the law says you must call them by the name, gender, etc., that they want, that you must not only accept such deviancies but also approve of them. Penalty of law attached for failure, and not light ones at that. Could it be that such incredibly destructive practices are meant, in the providence of God to drive us to our knees for the Great Counter Flood of righteousness that is promised, when the enemy shall come in like a flood?
Let them come with their words and their swords. We know how the story ends.
Yes, but in answer to our prayers pleading the promises of such a visitation, which pleading has been going on for over 100 years.
The pleading will most likely continue. We are truly nomads in this land and more of this will come. We should continue praying and own the names they give us.
To my mind, the most natural thing to do is to use feminine pronouns when speaking about the female persona, Caitlyn, while using masculine pronouns to refer to the person who has that persona, Bruce. The persona genuinely exists, so it is appropriate to use ‘she’ and ‘Caitlyn’ on occasions. However, it does not exist in the way Bruce Jenner and much of the world supposes.
In short, I relate and speak of Bruce and Caitlyn Jenner much as I would Barry Humphries and Dame Edna Everage.
I think “accommodate” in the title has to “m”s.
Appreciating the article and responses…
When I wrote about Bruce Jenner I used his given name and parenthetically stated that I couldn’t call him Caitlyn. I think 1 Cor. 3:16 is important for this conversation, Christians are to rejoice in truth. We can’t rejoice with Jenner and his transformation because it doesn’t align with truth. We can’t pretend that what he’s done is good, healthy, or wise, and using female pronouns, to me, would be to accept and embrace his choice.
No different than a parent who can’t rejoice with their wayward child’s actions. Christians can’t celebrate sinful actions and though it may be easier to just go with the flow and call him Caitlyn, we shouldn’t.
I’ll stick with Bruce or simply Jenner
There is some interesting information at Walt Heyer’s site sexregret.com. Walt is a transgender who went from male to female. Became a Christian and reverted to his birth gender of male. Unfortunately he had reassignment surgery 8 years before reverting to male. He has a strong argument (with links) that most transgenders have underlying mental health problems (depression and more) that should be dealt with prior to making a non-reversible surgery decision. He is convinced that if he had his depression properly addressed prior to surgery he would have never gone down that road. Also Paul McHugh MD the senior psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins ( where sex reassignment was first done) says transgenderism is purely a psychological problem, not biological. The hospital has abandoned doing sex reassigments even though they were the first to do it in the beginning.
Dr. McHugh wrote an online op-ed for WSJ in June 2014, going into more detail on the points that you just made. Breitbart summarized the article here…
Although there is nearly always comorbidity of depression with these disorders, Walt says his diagnosis should have been Dissociative Identity Disorder — formerly known as Multiple Personalities. IThis is where the transgender community enjoys attacking the validity of his story, saying he was never really a true sufferer of GID at all.
But really, absent biomarkers for organic disease, psychiatric diagnosiis itself is is just pulling rabbits from hats. Walt can only be diagnosed from his behavior, and he behaved like a transgender individual for most of his life. Diagnosis using the DSM is notoriously unreliable — no two psychiatrists will diagnose the same patient presenting the same symptoms,
Thanks Karen. I published the DSM-5 article on my website. Interesting how little consensus actually exists in that field. Also interesting how altering the statistical criteria to achieve the desired resulting scores looks a lot like altering global warming stats and dumbing down the SATs to receive the desired outcomes is more common than we may have thought.
Sorry. Make that site sexchangeregret.com
“Symbolic of his struggle against reality…”
The verse in Genesis, there is no “and” it is an inserted word.
There is no binary Matt 19:11-12
11J.”
NIV
The same three Born that way, intersex, made that way by man, castrata, made themselves that way i.e. Higara of India, are present in the contemporaneous cultures of India and China.
There are intersex peoples down through history and current thinking of many physicians is that being transgender (made them selves that way) for many/most is an intersex condition.
Most of the transgender individuals I know hate christians (purposeful small c) with good reason. I am transgender and have a ministry to the transgender community and quite frankly you make my job very difficult. I continually have to tell them the very minority view of judge-mental christians does not represent the majority. For the majority of these individuals, they are lost to eternity separate from God, because of christians.
Miss-naming and miss-gendeirng serve no purpose other than judging, and you will have to answer for it.
You’re deliberately confounding birth defects (intersex) with mental illness (gender dysphoria), as if they are interchangeable.
“Miss-naming and miss-gendeirng serve no purpose other than judging, and you will have to answer for it.”
Radical sociologists invent ersatz categories. The fact that Christians refuse to acknowledge these made-up, propagandistic categories is commendable.
“Radical sociologists invent ersatz categories. The fact that Christians refuse to acknowledge these made-up, propagandistic categories is commendable.”
What about the ersatz categories of psychiatry? Why do we give a pass to this equally unscientific profession? Just as the DSM committees have voted out homosexuality and transgender from their nosologies, and it is becoming clear they are preparing the ground to do the same to pedophilia –considering it in the latest DSM as “disordered” only when it distresses the subject or causes him to victimize others — why do we acknowledge their equally arbitrary categories that bow to the winds of political correctness?
To answer your question I’d have to quote Dennis Prager in saying “that Leftism is the most dynamic ‘religion’ there is today.” That’s why so much of this destructive absurdity goes unchallenged. That and most Christians and conservatives refuse to really fight on these issues. Your post was excellent, but I think when we use the term PC, we let the Left off the hook for their destructive ideas. I would just change it to say “bow to the winds of leftism” or secular humanism, which are really one and the same.
But Denny, the biological and psychological sciences show that “transgender individuals are wired to physically experience bodies of the opposite sex.” We live in a Fallen world where chromosomes and bodies can be, and are, disordered.
Citing a fringe view in medical and psychological academia doesn’t seem to negate the reasonableness of viewing bodies and chromosomes as able to be disordered due to the Fall. They can be, which is why persons with XX-male syndrome may reasonably identify as a male, or someone with XXY syndrome may reasonably identify with either gender. Transgender people may simply be another exception to the chromosome rule, as their chromosomes and bodies are disordered so as not to match the possibly proper wiring of their brains.
i) He was the dept. head of a world-class teaching hospital.
ii) To say it’s a fringe view is a circular appeal. The contemporary APA is highly politicized. Take the softening-up exercises to normalize pedophilia.
iii) You’re aren’t entitled to posit out of thin air that gender dysphoria has a chromosomal basis.
i) I didn’t dispute his credentials. Rather, his fringe view, which is not reflected by the position and consensus statements of leading medical and psychological organizations.
ii) You can’t posit that his view of transgender people is not fringe by citing alleged general politicization of a particular organization and that organization’s alleged softening-up exercises to normalize pedophilia. Red herring.
iii) The article to which I linked provides 15 studies evidencing the biological origins of gender dysphoria. You merely, and perhaps mistakenly, prefer to use chromosomes to determine everyone’s gender. Chromosomes can be, and are, disordered from a theological as well as a biological perspective because of the Fall.
i) To call his position a “fringe view” is a tendentious characterization. That’s a rhetorical tactic to preemptively discredit his medical opinion. Spares you having to actually engage his argument.
ii) Are you simply unaware of how the APA has been politicized, or do you just not care? Are you unaware of the fact that the APA has redefined pedophilia so that it’s no longer classified as a mental disorder?
Because McHugh’s career is safely behind him, he’s free to express himself without fear of professional reprisal, unlike younger colleagues.
iii) I’m not the one who brought up chromosomes, you did. If you think it’s a mistake to use chromosomes to determine gender, why did you bring it up in the context of this debate?
iv) Are you claiming that Bruce Jenner has an extra X chromosome? Do you have evidence for that?
v) You chalk it up to “the Fall.” Do you actually subscribe to a historical Fall? Do you think Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the human race? Do you believe what Scripture says about manhood, womanhood, and homosexuality?
i) Calling his view a “fringe view” is an accurate characterization, which underscores the silliness of citing it to sway someone’s view on transgender persons. You simply assume there are “right” or “wrong” views in this debate, rather than many “reasonable” views.
ii) The general politicization of one organization and that organization’s position on an irrelevant issue has no bearing on the scientific consensus with respect to transgender persons. Red herring.
iii) So you agree that chromosomes are not necessarily connected to one’s true gender? I brought it up because Denny never responded to my particular criticism, and refused to post it until now. My comments are rarely approved. Like the one where I reference Dworkin’s semantic originalism on his recent post about gay marriage and constitutional interpretation.
iv) I never said anything about Jenner. Irrelevant.
v) Yes. And nowhere will you find Scripture saying that a Y-chromosome necessarily means one’s gender is male after the Fall. Chromosomes can be disordered from a theological, as well as biological, perspective.
Calling it “silly” begs the question.
“You simply assume there are ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ views in this debate, rather than many “reasonable” views.”
You’re dissembling. You yourself clearly think your own view is right.
“The general politicization of one organization and that organization’s position on an irrelevant issue has no bearing on the scientific consensus with respect to transgender persons.”
It’s terribly naive to think that studies which are driven by an ideological agenda have no bearing on the scientific integrity of the foregone conclusions.
“So you agree that chromosomes are not necessarily connected to one’s true gender?”
I haven’t said one way or the other. Gender has both physical and psychological dimensions. In addition, the physical dimensions of gender are multifaceted. They aren’t confined to chromosomes. They include primary and secondary sexual characteristics. Distinctive organs, hormones, body parts, &c.
“I never said anything about Jenner. Irrelevant.”
Because you’d rather disregard examples that don’t fit your theory. Anything that’s inconvenient for your theory is duly dubbed “irrelevant.” That’s very convenient–and intellectually evasive.
“And nowhere will you find Scripture saying that a Y-chromosome necessarily means one’s gender is male after the Fall.”
You need to bone up on the relationship between general and special revelation. One doesn’t need to find everything in Scripture to honor the fundamental Biblical framework. Various details can be supplemented by extrascriptural knowledge.
Current understanding of etiology of being transgender is a combination of genetic which we know from twin studies, endocrine disruptors during pregnancy (chemicals that are estrogenic and androgenic in nature) and quite literally God only knows. Why do we not know more, lack of credible research. This in part because of those with a negative bias such as Paul McHugh, Ken Zucker, Richard Green et. el.
One of the tracks at WPATH was the high percentage of those that are transgender and in the autism spectrum, in excess of 20 times the norm to perhaps 40 times the norm for female to male. When I asked the etiology one of the researchers indicated it is the same as transgender.
You have a counterproductive way of defending transgender identity. You say their chromosomes are messed up. What makes you think that’s any less offensive to the trans community than the conservative Christian assessment? You’re saying transgender individuals are genetically defective. Their condition is the result of genetic defects. That’s a fence-straddling defense which is bound to alienate both sides of the debate.

I bought a Shaw PVR around 6 months ago & just love it. One problem I need help with....I recorded the movie "Harvey" shortly after buying the PVR, only watched a few min's of it, & then sent it to the "History" file. Ever since I can't get it to delete
from my History but I've had no problems with any other deletions in History. Can anyone help?
As atma suggested, the first step to clearing that recording is to pull the power cord for the 30 seconds.
But there is a good chance that it will need a full reset to unlock the recording. The PVR can be reset by yourself at Online Activation for new Digital Terminals or you can contact a Shaw rep to do it for you.

The new computational tool accurately predicts these interactions down to the nanometer scales required to build state-of-the-art communications technologies. As a result, say the researchers, it enables engineers to design new classes of radio frequency-based components that are able to transport large amounts of data more rapidly, and with less noise interference.
When an electromagnetic (EM) signal such as a radio wave passes through a magnetic material, the material acts like a "gatekeeper" – letting in signals that are desired, but keeping out others. Such materials can also amplify the signal, or dampen the speed and strength of the signal.
These gatekeeper-like effects – called “wave-material interactions” – have been used by engineers to make devices used in communications technologies for decades, say the researchers. For example, such devices include circulators that send signals in specific directions and frequency-selective limiters that reduce noise by suppressing the strength of unwanted signals.
However, say the researchers, current design tools are not comprehensive and precise enough to capture the complete picture of magnetism in dynamic systems, such as implantable devices, and also have limits in the design of consumer electronics.
"Our new computational tool addresses these problems by giving electronics designers a clear path toward figuring out how potential materials would be best used in communications devices," says." |

Insurer Slapped with $2.2 Million HIPAA SettlementHHS Cites Company's Missteps in Wake of Small Breach
In the final days of the Obama administration, the Department of Health and Human Services has issued its second HIPAA enforcement action for 2017. HHS' Office for Civil Rights has entered a $2.2 million settlement with a Puerto Rican insurance company in the wake of its investigation of a 2011 breach involving a stolen unencrypted USB drive that affected only about 2,000 individuals.
See Also: Live Webinar | The EVIL-Ution Of Ransomware In 2021-Top Protection Tips
The substantial penalty for the breach stems from the lack of timely corrective action after the breach by MAPFRE Life Insurance Co. of Puerto Rico, OCR explains in a statement.
"OCR's investigation revealed MAPFRE's noncompliance with the HIPAA rules, specifically, a failure to conduct its risk analysis and implement risk management plans, contrary to its prior representations, and a failure to deploy encryption or an equivalent alternative measure on its laptops and removable storage media until September 1, 2014," OCR notes. "MAPFRE also failed to implement or delayed implementing other corrective measures it informed OCR it would undertake."
OCR Director Jocelyn Samuels notes: "Covered entities must not only make assessments to safeguard ePHI, they must act on those assessments as well. OCR works tirelessly and collaboratively with covered entities to set clear expectations and consequences."
In setting the size of the penalty, OCR notes that its resolution agreement also "balanced potential violations of the HIPAA rules with evidence provided by MAPFRE with regard to its present financial standing."
MAPFRE is a subsidiary company of MAPFRE S.A., a multinational insurance company headquartered in Spain. MAPFRE underwrites and administers a variety of insurance products and services in Puerto Rico, including personal and group health insurance plans, OCR notes.
Breach Investigation Details
OCR's settlement with MAPFRE stems from a breach report the insurance company filed on Sept. 29, 2011, indicating that a USB data storage "pen drive" device containing electronic protected health information was stolen from MAPFRE's IT department where it was left overnight.
Compromised data included names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers of 2,209 individuals. OCR notes that MAPFRE said it was able to identify the breached ePHI by reconstituting the data on the computer on which the USB data storage device was attached.
Common Issues With a 'Twist'?
The latest HIPAA enforcement action by OCR focuses on a weakness - the lack of a risk analysis - that's been spotlighted in many previous HIPAA settlements, notes Adam Greene, a privacy attorney at the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine. But this settlement also notes MAPFRE's alleged lack of timely corrective action in the wake of the breach, he notes.
"While the breach gets the attention, OCR's press release highlights the lack of a risk analysis and risk management plan and the alleged failure to follow through on representations to OCR," Greene says. "Be careful what you promise to OCR, because you will need to follow through."
Privacy attorney Kirk Nahra notes: "This is a 'normal' breach settlement with the added twist that the company had problems before and didn't fix them. One bit of advice: Do what you commit to doing with OCR or any other regulatory/enforcement agency, or pray hard that nothing bad happens."
Companies always need to meet their compliance obligations, Nahra adds. "But there is no bigger risk than telling an agency something and then not doing it."
More Settlements Soon?
The settlement with MAPFRE is the second HIPAA enforcement action OCR has taken so far in 2017. That follows a record year in 2016, when OCR issued far more settlements - 13, plus one civil monetary penalty case - than in previous years.
But with the transition to the Trump administration later, it could be a while before OCR takes additional enforcement action, Greene notes.
"I expect that after January 20th, we may have a lull in published settlements as new leadership comes on board at OCR," he says. "From there, it is anyone's guess as to whether the pace of settlements will return to what we saw in 2016, or whether a new political appointee had different enforcement priorities."
On Jan. 9, OCR issued a $475,000 financial settlement and corrective action plan with Chicago-based Presence Health tied to the organization's tardy notification for a 2013 paper records breach affecting about 800 individuals.
Corrective Action Plan
OCR's corrective action plan calls for the insurance company to:
- Conduct a risk analysis and implement a risk management plan;
- Implement a process for evaluating environmental and operational changes;
- Update its policies and procedures and distributing them to its workforce.
In the corrective action plan, OCR notes that MAPFRE's updated policies and processes must address: |

I believe the original Pantera never had any side mirrors that came from the factory. Are there any options as to the nicest looking mirrors that should go with the Pantera. I thought about period correct mirrors vs something more modern such as the mirrors on the new Camaro. What are your options.

You said YES what is next? Your brain may be going a million miles an hour trying to figure out what to do next. Hopefully this blog post will help some of the stresses of planning a wedding go away. You Said YES! Now What? 10 helpful tips on what to do right after you say yes to the love of your life.
Make the call! Call your family and share the good news. It’s time to celebrate with your family and friends. Getting engaged is such a big event in your life. Share it with the people you care about most.
Paint those nails! Chances are people are going to want to see your new bling you might as well make those nails pretty! Besides everyone needs a good excuse for a manicure, this has got to be the best excuse a gal can have.
Look into insurance. Chances is that ring cost some serious cash. Most renters or homeowners insurance have jewelry coverage. Look into that soon. I feel like this gets overlooked a lot but is so important that you have the right type of coverage to cover you ring.
Set a date! Decide if you want a long engagement or a shorter one. Surveys have shown that the average engagement is between 12 to 18 months. You’ll want to decide on what season you want your wedding in. Each season offers a unique look to your photos and a different perspective.
Take that famous ring selfie. Let the world know you said YES to the love of your life. Post away! Share with the social world if you’d like.
Decide on your wedding size. Do you want to have an intimate ceremony with your closest friends and family? Or are you thinking a huge celebration with everyone you know. This decision plays a huge part in determining a budget for your big day. Which brings to the next big decision
Set a budget. This is a key component to planning a wedding. I recommend coming up with a budget and then figure out what is most important to you both. Is it a dream venue? Photos that will last generations? Amazing floral arrangements or yummy flood? Once you set a budget it will help you know exactly what you can afford and you can begin looking for vendors that fit your budget and the style of wedding you will have.
Decide on your wedding party size. Do you want equal members on each side. You’ll have to decide together how many you want in your bridal party.
Relax planning a wedding is a stressful process plan an adventure date or a night out on the town to celebrate the season of engagement. Get dressed up and have a nice dinner. You are marrying your best friend! It’s something to celebrate.
Remember planning a wedding does not happen overnight. There is no need to stress about this. Chances are the vendors that you choose will have loads of suggestions to help along the way with different vendors. This is such an exciting time and should not be filled with stress. You will have many months to decide on those wedding colors and who is going to print your invitations.
My suggestions on finding vendors. I would first look at venues, photographers and wedding planners. As a photographer I feel like those are the two vendors that book dates the fastest. Next I would suggest looking for your dress. Chances are you will find the dress you love and it will need to ordered and possibly altered. This can take months. Look into a DJ, find one that fits the style of your wedding you are planning. Find a florist whose work speaks to your soul and schedule that cake tasting and maybe catering too…You can first try the yummy food and then have cake. Lastly, remember there are many many vendors out there to choose from. I suggest you read reviews and get to know the people behind the name. Make sure they fit your personality they will help make your day flow so you can enjoy the moment.

Faster trains planned for East Anglia
QUICKER journey times on the Norwich to London route will be demanded by the Government when it gives the go-ahead to a new franchise on East Anglia routes.
QUICKER journey times on the Norwich to London route will be demanded by the Government when it gives the go-ahead to a new franchise on East Anglia routes.
National Express East Anglia has been sacked from operating the route and the franchise - to be renamed Greater Anglia - is currently out to tender.
The Greater Anglia franchise will start on April 1, 2011. The new operator will have to consider quicker journey times between London and Norwich and improved catering.
The Essex Thameside franchise is set to begin on May 29 next year and covers routes from London's Fenchurch Street to Tilbury, Southend and Shoeburyness in Essex. The requirements for this new franchise include longer trains, improved station facilities and better security.
The measures were announced today by Transport Secretary Lord Adonis, who also laid down improvements to services from London King's Cross to Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow franchise which was taken into public ownership when National Express defaulted
“I am particularly keen to cut journey times between major Scottish and northern cities and London. The standard journey time from Edinburgh to London will come down to four hours and 20 minutes, from Newcastle to London to two hours and 50 minutes and from Leeds to London to two hours and 10 minutes. want to improve further on this by reintroducing the Flying Scotsman, with a journey time of less than four hours for the key business services between Edinburgh and London and back. I want to see the Flying Scotsman introduced within two years, and Network Rail have undertaken to facilitate this.
“Under the proposals, Glasgow will also benefit from new direct services to Leeds and Sheffield - major destinations to which there are currently very few through trains at present.
“Most existing Glasgow services to London King's Cross will instead run to Leeds and Sheffield - giving new regular connections between Glasgow and these important cities without any loss of service between Glasgow and Newcastle and other cities in the north east of England.” |

I’ve had a lot of moral support from my eight sisters all my life. Over the past six years on the Kindness Bus Tour, even more so. We are united in our thoughts about helping to put an end to bullying. I was proud as my sister Janet stood shoulder to shoulder with me by the Kindness Bicycle. |
