Seminar teaches 'the way a person experiences it may change over time'
The nonprofit Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays has documented a long list of incidents of verbal abuse by homosexuals who challenge the premise that there are former homosexuals, despite the documented cases.
But now the homosexual activists have had a wrench thrown in their argument, with the admission by a homosexual conference presenter that being "gay" isn't necessarily permanent.
"Sexuality is fluid, especially when it goes beyond the binary of 'gay' and 'straight' labels," says a description of the "Beyond Bisexuality: Living Between the Labels" seminar presented by Prideworks for LGBT Youth.
"The way a person experiences it may change over time and with monogamy, which may make labels confusing and ultimately unnecessary."
The seminar was presented Nov. 16 by Kathleen Harrison of Emmanuel College and Cameron Duplessis of the University of Connecticut, according to the organization's website.
Prideworks is a "conference for lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender youth and their allies," according to the organization's website. Its mission is "to inform our communities about the realities of growing up gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, and to inspire them to respect and support LGBT people and to advocate for positive change."
One of the sponsors is GLSEN Hudson Valley, a division of the national Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network organization that drew attention at the beginning of Barack Obama's term in the White House. The group's founder, Kevin Jennings, was appointed by the Obama administration to decide what "safety" programs could be mandated for public schools.
Greg Quinlan, the president of PFOX, told WND the admission by homosexual activists isn't complicated.
"It means that they honestly know and they've always known, they factually know, that sexuality is fluid and is a choice. You choose who you go to bed with," he said. "This means a lot to our organization."
He said he's personally experienced verbal challenges to his organization's premise that there are people who have left the homosexual lifestyle.
Quinlan said that a few years ago at a National Education Association conference, where PFOX had a booth, a pro-homosexual activist launched into a "violent tirade" because of the group's presence.
Matt Barber, an attorney with Liberty Counsel Action, told WND that the truth shouldn't surprise anyone.
"The sexual anarchists' lobby want to have their cake and eat it too," he said. "They want to say that homosexuality … is fluid, yet they also want to say for political purposes, for legal purposes, that sexuality is fixed.
"You can't have it both ways," he said. "They acknowledge that sexuality is fluid, that it may change over time. How do you reconcile that with the nonsensical notion that people, once self-identified as gay are gay forever?"
He said "ex-gay deniers" want to reject the idea that people can or ever have left homosexuality.
But he said at the same time, these very seminar events are encouraging students to explore homosexuality.
"How do you know you're not gay if you don't experiment?" he said the kids are asked.
But he said the truth aligns with what a federal judge in California wrote in a decision regarding counseling minors who have unwanted same-sex attractions. The judge said the idea sexuality is unchangeable is based on "scientifically questionable and incomplete studies."

Henry Bromell, a novelist and short-story writer who brought a literary quality to some of the most acclaimed dramatic TV series of the last two decades, including "Homeland," "Northern Exposure" and "Homicide: Life on the Street," died Monday at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica. He was 65.
He was believed to have had a heart attack, said his longtime friend and agent Peter Benedek.
Bromell spent the last 23 years writing, producing and directing TV dramas noteworthy for their resonant characters and sharp dialogue. He shared an Emmy last year as a writer and executive producer on "Homeland," the Showtime series about a CIA agent who suspects an American war hero is a terrorist-in-waiting.
PHOTOS: Bromell's career highlights
One reason he was hired on "Homeland" was his personal history: His father had been a CIA station chief in the Middle East in the 1950s. His background also inspired him to write "Little America," a 2001 novel about a son who struggles to ferret out the truth about his father's life as a spy.
"He was really a wunderkind," veteran writer-producer John Falsey, who co-created "Northern Exposure" and "St. Elsewhere," said of Bromell on Tuesday. "His humor was never broad, always moving. He had a natural ear for dialogue."
"Homeland" was Bromell's latest credit in a career that developed in association with "The Family Tree," an eminent group of TV "auteurs" who can trace their roots or training to "St. Elsewhere" and another standout show from the early 1980s, "Hill Street Blues." Television historian Robert J. Thompson has written about the group as the pioneers of a new kind of literary drama that later attracted mainstream popularity with shows like "The Sopranos."
"This is all coming from a group of people who have been doing this their entire adult lives — aiming … for this kind of literary drama," Bromell told the Baltimore Sun in 2012, when he also won a Writers' Guild Award for scripting "The Good Soldier" episode of "Homeland."
His television career began on a fluke in 1990, when Falsey, whom he'd never met, called to thank him for his help getting into the Iowa Writers' Workshop a dozen years earlier. He asked Bromell to help him write his new show, "Northern Exposure."
"I didn't even have a television set then," Bromell recalled in a 2001 New York Times interview.
Bromell took Falsey up on his offer and began writing for the CBS series, which went on to win seven Emmys and two Peabody awards for its poetically comedic depiction of culture clash in a fictional Alaska town.
He went on from "Northern Exposure" to be a writer and executive producer for "Homicide: Life on the Street," the NBC series that debuted in 1993. He later worked on shows such as "Chicago Hope," "I'll Fly Away," "Brotherhood" and "Rubicon."
He made his film directing debut in 2001 with "Panic," a quirky movie about the midlife crisis of a professional hit man, played by William H. Macy.
Bromell was born in New York on Sept. 19, 1947. He grew up abroad, following his father on CIA postings in places including Cairo; Amman, Jordan; and Tehran.
"God knows what he was doing, but we were with him," Bromell told NPR in 2010. "He was in the operation side for almost 30 years."
PHOTOS: Bromell's career highlights
A graduate of Amherst, Bromell launched his literary career in his early 20s when his short stories began appearing in the New Yorker. His first collection, "The Slightest Distance" (1974), was praised in the New York Times for its tone of "delicate nostalgia," and his second collection, "I Know Your Heart, Marco Polo" (1979) was described by novelist Joyce Carol Oates as "highly promising" despite flaws.
He made his debut as a novelist in 1983 with "The Follower," which Los Angeles magazine described as "an oddly didactic novel" about a waiter and aspiring actor who becomes a victim of mistaken identity.
Bromell's first marriage, to Trish Soodik, ended in divorce; she died of cancer in 2009. He is survived by his wife, Sarah, and two sons, William and Jake.

Mountain culture and customs are hot-wired into the lives of each Korean. What better way to get under their skin than to hike together with them?
SOUTH Korea lies along a peninsula that is hugely mountainous, with a spinal ridge running for 735 km from the DMZ boundary in the north to the East China Sea down south.
This mountain range has monumental relevance to the people of Korea as it is believed to provide the life force to the nation: its arterial rivers drain seawards, bearing sustenance for the inhabitants living in the lowlands. Many historical events that occurred on these mountains have been documented whilst just as many myths and folklore have been re-told over generations.
For the tourist, hiking the mountains of the Korean peninsula would seem like a natural activity, to immerse in the culture of this dynamic country.
The terrain is not high, the tallest peak being Cheonhwangbong at 1,915m, in Jirisan National Park, at the southern tip of the range. The next highest peak is Daecheongbong, 1,708m in altitude, squatting on Seoraksan National Park diametrically to the north.
The ranges are inter-linked through a series of hiking trails, following the ridge line closely and crisscrossing valleys and rivers. Temples, villages, farms and shelters dot the hills.
Such an eco-system has made mountain hiking a national pastime that is likely to overtake taekwando in popularity as a sport. There's also a whole line of Korean celebrity fashion wear for hikers. Unfortunately, for the tourist, not much promotional information on hiking is available from official tourism literature.
It would take a lifetime to explore the legendary mountains of Korea and we had limited time to spare before our wedding anniversary celebration back in Seoul.
Day trip to Seoraksan
We took a 3-hour bus ride to Sokcho, a tourist town on the north-eastern coast of the Korean peninsula and an entry point into Seoraksan National Park.
The park showcases the Seorak mountain range, and is loved by the locals for its natural beauty and bio-diversity. Hikers come to marvel at the uncanny ruggedness of the "Dinosaur Ridge" and soak up the fables of the mountains' origins.
There are many trails up picturesque Seoraksan, numerous short ones requiring half-day's effort and several longer routes that are more than 10km in distance.
A good option for tourists is to hop on the cable car, not far from the Visitor Information Office, and catch a ride up to Gwongeumseong Fortress at a height of about 900 m. This was the option we selected together with a long queue of like-minded tourists. We reached the counter at 10.30am but all tickets were sold out.
Without wasting any more time, we opened the map, picked out what looked like an easy route and headed out to Biseondae Cliff.
It was only 2.3km one-way and took us through a forested area, tracing a path beside a gushing stream. The fresh air and fine drizzle made the pace invigorating.
Many eateries are found along the trails of the park.
We skirted a pool of crystalline water at the bottom of a huge rock face, which I took to be Biseondae Cliff, and crossed a short bridge whereupon the trail ended abruptly at a locked gate. Beyond laid wilderness that could be experienced only with a permit from the ranger's office. We clambered up a rocky slope and joined some hikers on a break.
"Where are you from?" queried the ajeossi (middle-aged man). I told him we were from Malaysia, as I shared a chocolate bar with his 10-year old son. I remarked that the scenery here had a mystical and mysterious air.
He nodded, "Ah, as mysterious as the disappearance of your airplane". I guess he was referring to MH370. We both nodded and sighed. They wished us a good trip and moved on. We stayed a while to admire the view of the distant peaks framed in by the hillside trees. On our way down we stopped by a tea house. Bibimbap downed with a hot bowl of miso soup tasted a lot better here than in the lowlands.
We dozed on the bus back to Seoul. That chilly night in Seoul, we captured our last "high" at the N Seoul Tower, atop Namsan. Standing 236m tall, the tower accords a night scene of the city.
We were feeling pretty tired, but fulfilled. So, I suggested we take the cable car up instead of climbing the stairs. I didn't hear any objections.
Hiking near Seoul
THE view from Bugaksan might have been more panoramic if not for the faint haze hanging over the "ancient quarters" of Seoul that April morning.
To the south-west, we could just make out the hillock of Inwangsan and the colourful string of hikers inching up its summit trail, while afar north, the rocky peaks of Bukhansan glared in the sun.
Seoul, the 600-year old capital city of South Korea, is encircled by a fortress wall that links four surrounding hills, Bugaksan, Ingwangsan, Namsan and Naksan. Of these, Bugaksan is the tallest at 342m and is located in the neighbourhood of Samcheong-dong, majestically overlooking Cheongwadae (Blue House), the President's official residence and office.
We had taken the northern route of the fortress wall, entering through Hyehwamun Gate, muddling through a residential area up a steep incline, and, with some orienteering instinct, located the path that followed the ancient stone wall, leading us up a hill of cherry trees.
Due to its proximity with the Blue House, this section of the trail requires foreigners (who are called "aliens" in official documents here) to sign in at Malbawi Station with their passports (or "Alien Registration Card") and sign-out at Changuimun Station.
Guards are posted at intervals within eye-shot of hikers. One young cadet approached me to view my camera photos and requested some to be deleted. The pictures were mainly landscape shots, mostly bird's eye views of the city, which didn't look pretty anyway, back-lit by the morning sun.
It was a quarter past eleven when we arrived at the top of Bugaksan. The guard, more militia than forest ranger, had been monitoring the growing crowd at the plot, and sternly ushered any lingerers to move on. No picnic here, literally, just pictures.
The Koreans are actually a helpful and friendly lot. On the way up we had approached more than a few ajumma ("aunty") for directions and they were profuse with their assistance; expressive hand gestures and finger pointing, and a continuous barrage of verbal directions, delivered in Korean.
We nodded our gamsa-hamnida ("thank you") and they gleefully let us off. Still clueless, we were comforted to know that at least we were in hospitable country.
The descent to Changuimun was unexpectedly steep, and the high steps slowed the pace somewhat. Overall, the hike was enjoyable, requiring just three hours, which left us plenty of time to slip back downtown for another helping of sumptuous Korean spicy soup.

The South may rise again... someday, but that day is not now. (My Southern relatives aren't going to be happy to hear that, but let's move on).
Earlier today we learned that Maine is the "most peaceful" state in the U.S., according to a report by the Institute for Economics & Peace, which looks at five categories: violent crime, incarceration, number of police employees, homicide rate, and small arms ownership.
But which states did not fare so well?
Check out this map, which shows how states rate in terms of peacefulness (click for larger map):
Unsurprisingly, the South generally performs much worse than the North; collectively the South scores a 3.06, while the Northeast scores a full point better, at 2.01.
The Midwest (2.32) and West (2.43) are somewhat of a mixed bag, with both very peaceful and very un-peaceful states.
Louisiana comes in last, for the 20th year running (pretty remarkable), rating in the bottom five for four categories, and falling dead last in two of those.
Arizona, which has been in the news a lot over the last year over its immigration policies, suffered the biggest drop, with a huge relative spike in homicides, and a smaller spike in relative violent crime overall.

I made this recipe today, I followed directions completely, it 8 hours later and it still has not set. Not sure what went wrong but a total waste of money and ingredients!! I'm so disappointed!
Nov 25, 2011
Very good! Next time, I think I will melt the butterscotch chips before adding them to the pot - some did not melt and I ended up with some pieces of the chips in my fudge.
Dec 18, 2010
I love this recipe and even my picky father really likes it! My favorite thing about it, is that it isn't too sweet!

It has been quite an active and overwhelming time since February when my very good friend and senior, Sensei Pat Nakata, passed away. To be honest, it is still hard for me to believe that he is no longer with us. He was such an active and generous person. We ate lunch and dinner together at so many places that I always expect to see him.
I felt the same way about my Aikido Sensei, Sadao Yoshioka. This was especially true when I recently went to a graduation party at the Natsunoya teahouse. That was the place where Yoshioka Sensei has his kanreki (60th birthday) back in the 1980s.
With respect to Karate, I am at a loss without Nakata Sensei's guidance. Whenever I had a question about a style or teacher, I would not look for the information in books -- I would simply call or see him. He was literally a walking encyclopedia of Okinawan Karate. He would either tell me about his personal experiences with the style or teacher, or share Chosin Chibana's recollections. I was always amazed by Nakata Sensei stories. I had the good fortune to hear some of the same stories many times over the years and they never changed. His memory and attention to detail was phenomenal, even during the last two years when his health condition declined.
I also relied on Nakata Sensei whenever I wanted to know what a particular movement meant. He practiced Chibana Shorin-Ryu and I practice Kishaba Juku Shorin-Ryu. Although our kata are not identical, they are similar enough for comparison (same but different).
I have watched a lot of people demonstrate the meaning (or "imi") of kata both live and on various DVDs and videos. Nakata Sensei's explanations were always very down to earth and brutally effective. There was no "fluff" or "puff" or guesswork. Basically, there was just a lot of pain.
Once he told me about Chibana Sensei demonstrating a certain throw to him. He had asked Chibana Sensei how the throw could be done if the attacker was not wearing a gi or strong clothes ("how would you grab?"). Chibana Sensei said "come, come" and demonstrated the answer. I then said, "What did Chibana Sensei do?" Nakata Sensei said, "come, come" with a gesturing motion of his hands. I walked up to Nakata Sensei and he grabbed me by one ear and the side of my neck. With a twist of his hands I was helpless and in a perfect position for him to throw me. Chibana Sensei had demonstrated the same thing on him.
I had practiced Karate for quite a while when this happened, but I have to admit that I was not thinking about a counter at the time -- I was just flailing around and half-screaming. Good thing that Nakata Sensei was my good friend and was only moving lightly. I would hate to see him mad.
I actually did see him a little mad -- just once. During one of our lunches with senior Sensei, I excused myself to go to the rest room so that I could pay for the bill. Nakata Sensei almost always paid the bill and I wanted to pay for this lunch. When the lunch finished and the waiter came, Nakata Sensei asked for the bill and was told that I had already paid it. Nakata Sensei informed me in an especially firm tone that I should not do that again. (I was honestly scared.)
Now I understand that the host pays the bill unless it is addressed in advance. After that, I would offer to pay the bill before we got together and things were fine. But even then, Nakata Sensei was the one who usually hosted and paid for everyone. He was extremely generous, not jsut monetarily but of his time. He would think nothing about driving half way across Oahu to pick up a Sensei so that he could attend a lunch.
Our lunches were really something -- two or three hours of nothing but Karate talk. When other seniors would come, we would talk about their styles and experiences. What an excellent overview of the arts! I almost hated to return to work!
So it has been difficult for me since February.
But... during that time I completed the donation of the third increment of rare Karate and martial arts books, magazines, and multi-media to the University of Hawaii for the Hawaii Karate Museum Collection. This increment was 10 boxes, and included some of the very oldest and rarest materials in the collection.
The third and final part of my article about Shozen Sunabe was published by Classical Fighting Arts and is now available. Sunabe Sensei (a student of Chotoku Kyan) is another person I sorely miss.
I am preparing right now for the Okinawan Festival which will be held on the Labor Day weekend at Kapiolani Park. This year I am giving two exhibits: the first on Okinawan Sumo and the second about the Pacific Mail Company's S. S. China, the steamship that brought the first Okinawan immigrants to Hawaii in January 1900. I received grants for these projects from Hui O Laulima. The exhibits will be in the Cultural Tent. I will also write an article about the S. S. China (I have a ton of great material).
I am also teaching and studying Karate as usual. The other night I told the students to always remember that they are students, and that I am the biggest student in our group because I have been studying the longest and continue to try to improve each day. I will never brag about being a good instructor or about rank and titles. If I ever brag, it will be about never giving up as a student. So when it comes to Karate, I am still working at it.
Thank you very much to several readers who have inquired about my health. I am fine, thank you.

About Creative Commons
Spark on 04/21/2010 at 06:00AM
Spark: Creative Commons Playlist
The latest addition to our guest curation series comes from Spark, "a weekly audio blog of smart and unexpected trendwatching" from CBC.
What the Web Sounds Like
A few years ago, the staff of Spark were preparing to make our very first episode of the show. We knew we wanted Spark to be more than a traditional broadcast radio program. We wanted it to be a collaboration and a conversation -- a platform for exploring the intersection of technology and culture. We wanted to embrace the values of online culture to talk about online culture. And as we worked on our first episode, one question we kept asking ourselves was, "What does the Internet sound like?" As it turns out, the Internet sounds an awful lot like the best CC-licensed music: collaborative, remixable, and constantly evolving.
Equality for podcasts and broadcasts
Here in Canada, using music in podcasts can be tricky business. Though rights and licensing agreements are in place for terrestrial broadcasts, that's not yet the case for podcasts. The result is that many over-the-air radio programs use commercial music, which must be removed or replaced for the podcast version. Usually, this means extra work, recutting a show so it's "podsafe."
When we started Spark, we were very keen to create a single, definitive version of the show for online and on-air. We didn't want our podcast to be a watered-down, "lite" version of Spark. We put a lot of time and attention into researching, writing, editing, and mixing Spark every week, and the quality of the end product shouldn't suffer because of the distribution mechanism.
Spreadability, linkability
One of the great unintended consequences of using CC music on Spark has to do with the Attribution condition. Of course, artists deserve credit for their work, and each week, we post links to the music and artists featured on the show. If listeners hear a tune they like, they can easily find out who wrote it and download their very own copy. This is a win-win-win for the listener, the show, and the artist. Listeners get pointers to great CC-licensed music, Spark gets exposure on sites like CCMixter (via trackbacks), and the artists get heard by hundreds of thousands of people on Canadian public radio.
Dan Misener is a producer on Spark, the national technology/culture show from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

WFP is providing food assistance to the refugees in all 3 countries.

Bishops of Southern Africa (IMBISA) have sent an open letter addressed to President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, SADC President.
We, the Catholic Bishops of IMBISA (Inter-Regional Meeting of the Bishops of Southern Africa – Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Mozambique, Sao Tome e Principe, South Africa & Zimbabwe) gathered in Pretoria for our 9th Plenary Session, wish to address a very particular plea to the political leaders of the SADC region. We do this at a critical time in the life of the Zimbabwean Nation. We do this firstly and especially, out of a deep concern for the suffering people of Zimbabwe.
We acknowledge the important role played by SADC in facilitating the Global Political Agreement (GPA) which led directly to the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU). We acknowledge too, the courage of the three Principals in the GNU, namely President Robert Mugabe, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara. This was the fruit of a true African solidarity – something to be celebrated and a cause for great hope in the region. It promised a new dawn for Zimbabwe.
However, two years later, we are concerned at the lack of meaningful progress: not all aspects of the GPA have been fulfilled within the agreed timeframe. Despite some improvements in the country we note that the ordinary citizens of Zimbabwe continue to suffer from, amongst other things: extreme poverty; high levels of unemployment; inadequate health and education services; lack of investment and confidence in the economy of the country. This is all the more tragic – and indeed a matter of grave injustice – when we consider the wealth of the country with respect both to its human and its material resources.
As we write, we are aware of talk of – if not even plans for – the holding of elections in 2011. We strongly believe that holding elections at this stage would be dangerously premature. Conditions in the country are emphatically NOT conducive to elections in 2011. This is due to the following factors:
• The GPA has not been fully implemented;
• The process of formulating the new Constitution remains incomplete and is in fact way behind schedule. It is not known when the referendum on the Constitution will be held;
• The Voters' Roll has not been updated;
• Freedom of Association and of the Media is severely restricted;
• The Nation is in the grip of extreme fear; polarization is still evident; there are increasing signs of intimidation and/ or violence as the election campaign builds up.
Should those in power choose to proceed with elections in 2011, then we assert emphatically that two things should be considered as preconditions for the said elections namely, 1) a roadmap leading up to the elections be put in place and 2) the elections be conducted in accordance with SADC's Guidelines for Elections.
The positive gains achieved by the intervention of SADC, including the establishment of the GNU, simply cannot be allowed to go to waste. This southern African situation cries out for a solution that respects human dignity and social justice. This then is our plea: that SADC be the agent that brings about this urgently needed recovery of Zimbabwe. This would bring with it the long-awaited development and integration of the region. It would bring healing, peace and prosperity to the suffering people of Zimbabwe.
We call upon SADC to spearhead the task of restoring Zimbabwe to its rightful and proud place in the international community. We implore Almighty God to bless our long-suffering region and so too, the continent of Africa. May His Holy Spirit give wisdom, courage and compassion to all those entrusted with the leadership of its Nations.

The boot liner is fantastic quality it…
The boot liner is fantastic quality it is a bit big for my wee car I have a skoda citigo but it still looks great.
Audi A6 avant boot liner
We ordered the boot liner for an Audi A6 avant 2017 it arrived on time with correct seat configuration , fitted extremely well and was easy to install . It is well made water proof and padded and we have just headed five hundred miles South with our two year old lab/ retriever in the boot with no objections from him !I would advise paying the little extra for the bumper guard as the dogs do tend to use your bumper as a launch pad but it's also extremely useful for sitting on or changing your golf shoes without damaging your car.
Really good quality boot liner
Really good quality boot liner. 10 out of 10 you won't regret buying.

Honestly, I'd rather see them with either Marvelous or Sony (or perhaps Nintendo in the long run). Hell, I'd take Namdai over Squeenix despite not really being able to articulate why I wouldn't like to see them get it either.
That being said, I think discussion of this topic has been relegated to the Megami Tensei thread for some reason. I guess Atlus doesn't make anything else.
Also, Annubis do you want to put this on the OP for more info?
Honestly, until we see Last Guardian I don't really trust Sony with niche studios like Atlus right now.

Time short for Obamacare cases
The window is closing for those who want to bulldoze President Barack Obama's health law in court.
"It's going to become increasingly difficult because courts are much less willing to overturn something that's already entrenched," said Randy Barnett, the Georgetown University law professor who helped construct the Supreme Court argument against the law earlier this year.
Story Continued Below
Critics are still fighting the law in court on several fronts, and Barnett hasn't given up hope that one of those challenges could succeed. But the more Obamacare benefits become available to people, the harder it will be to undo.
"There's no question that one of the reasons why we had as much room to run as we did is we had a two-year delay in implementing most of the law," he said in an interview, referring to the multistate lawsuit he helped lead. Had more of the health law been up and running, "it would've been much more difficult for us to even make the challenge. … That opening is closing."
Some of Barnett's allies in the Supreme Court case seemed to indicate as much with their silence. Michael Carvin and Paul Clement, two of the other lead attorneys, said they weren't tracking other anti-Obamacare litigation and would not comment. "Not really following these cases," emailed Carvin, an attorney with Jones Day.
That's good news for the law's backers.
"Randy Barnett is right. He's a legal scholar with a relationship to reality," said Ethan Rome, executive director of Health Care for America Now. "I think that courts don't like to undo programs that are already being implemented that are impacting millions of people, especially when the highest court in the land found the law to be constitutional. Revisiting parts of it is obviously political and ideological."
But the right-leaning critics of the law aren't waving the white flag yet. And even if they can't get rid of the whole law, they are taking legal aim at parts of it.
A "take-the-whole-law-down assault probably doesn't exist at this point," said Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, one of the law's early legal antagonists. "However, what you're seeing is, there's going to be waves of litigation over this because it's so badly written." Cuccinelli, who would like to become the next governor of Virginia, could help make waves for some time to come.

Craft Beer
Redbridge Gluten Free Lager 6 pack 750mlRedbridge beer doesn't need to make promises to stand out from the crowd; its very essence sets it apart. Redbridge is made without wheat or barley, so the approximately 3.2 million consumers who are unable to drink beer made with barley due to Celiac Disease or because they follow a wheat-free or gluten-free diet can once again enjoy a great tasting beer. Redbridge is a rich, full-bodied lager brewed from sorghum for a well-balanced, moderately hopped taste. We select only the highest quality ingredients and take every measure to ensure the beer contains no wheat or barley. How is that possible? Simple. Redbridge is made from sorghum, a safe grain for those allergic to wheat or gluten, and no blending or mixing of the ingredients takes place in order to preserve its purity. We then apply the true art of brewing - from the brewhouse process through fermentation and aging - to give Redbridge its hand crafted quality and specialty beer taste.

Globular Star Cluster M15 (right) and Its Center (left)
This mosaic of the globular cluster M15 (fifteenth object in the Messier catalog of star clusters and nebulae) contains over 30,000 stars. The Hubble Space Telescope probed the core of M15, the most tightly packed cluster of stars in our galaxy, to look for evidence of either a massive black hole or another remarkable phenomenon: a "core collapse" driven by the intense gravitational pull of so many stars in such a small volume of space.
The larger picture shows the central portion of M15, photographed with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. The image is about 28 light- years across. The cluster center is in the upper right, on the highest- resolution part of the image. The inset is an enlargement of the innermost 1.6 light-years of the cluster. Images in ultraviolet, blue, and visual light were combined for this picture, so that the colors roughly correspond to the surface temperatures of stars in M15. Hot stars appear blue, while cooler stars appear reddish-orange.
The density of stars rises all the way into the cluster center, marked by a green cross. Careful analysis of the distribution of these stars suggest that at some point in the distant past, the stars converged on M15's core, like bees swarming to their hive. This runaway collapse, long theorized by researchers but never seen in such detail, may have lasted a few million years-a flash in the 12-billion-year life of the cluster. A precise reading of the speeds at which stars move near M15's core would reveal whether the stars are packed so tightly because of the influence of a single massive object, or simply by their own mutual attraction. Stars would orbit more quickly in the gravitational grip of a black hole, which would be several thousand times more massive than our sun. Such measurements are time consuming but possible with Hubble.
The images were taken in April 1994 and will be published in the January 1996 issue of Astronomical Journal. Members of the research team are Puragra Guhathakurta (UCO/Lick Observatory, UC Santa Cruz), Brian Yanny (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory), Donald Schneider (Pennsylvania State University), and John Bahcall (Institute for Advanced Study).

Canadian police have released video showing a speeding motorcyclist crashing into a young black bear as it ran across the highway, AFP reports.
The video release, meant to warn others about the dangers of distracted driving, shows the first-person view of the motorcyclist on Highway 7 in Hope, British Columbia, accelerating to nearly 90 mph in less than 20 seconds.
AFP has more:
Police said in a statement that the driver was focused on his speedometer as part of a stunt and failed to see the bear until the last minute.
He ended up with non-life-threatening injuries while the bear walked away.

The Colony Theatre in Burbank continues its fight for survival due to serious financial shortfalls, but you'd never know it from the venerable mid-sized venue's fine season-ender, "Falling for Make Believe." This world premiere musical by Mark Saltzman, developed by the Colony, delves into the troubled life of lyricist Lorenz Hart through actual events, deft fictional constructs and a feast of glorious Rodgers and Hart songs.
The musical opens in 1943, on the day of Hart's New York funeral. Sensitive Pennsylvania farm boy-turned-Broadway hopeful Fletcher, one of Hart's lovers (and a Saltzman creation) listens to radio tributes and grieves for the happily-ever-after that never was. In contrast, we see composer Rodgers give a eulogy carefully crafted for public consumption.
(Hart was an alcoholic and a closeted homosexual fearing career-ending exposure. The torment that both fueled and undermined the gifted lyricist's creative genius wasn't public knowledge even decades after his death from pneumonia.)
Following the rather broadly telegraphed opening scene comes a flashback to 1927. Fresh from summer stock, Fletcher (Tyler Milliron) prepares to audition for a brand new Rodgers and Hart show, "A Connecticut Yankee," and his friend Peggy (Megan Moran, playing multiple roles with engaging comic energy) teaches him one of the show's songs.
At the performance I attended, you could almost hear a collective "ahh" from the audience during Milliron's achingly expressive rendition of "My Heart Stood Still." The music, after all, is where this production lives. "Manhattan," "This Can't Be Love," "Where or When," "Pal Joey," "I Could Write a Book" are just a few of the nearly two dozen songs woven into Saltzman's script. (And top marks to sound designer Drew Dalzell.)
Rebecca Ann Johnson is a showstopper as vivacious real-life Broadway diva Vivienne Segal (here transparently renamed Vivian Ross). With her gorgeous pipes, Johnson is up for anything, belting out "The Lady Is a Tramp," bouncing through "Mountain Greenery" with Goldberg and crooning a nuanced "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered." What Brett Ryback as Rodgers and Ben D. Goldberg as Hart lack in comparable vocal power they make up for in melodic, resonant stylings. And Ryback is so convincing at the onstage piano, that it's nearly impossible to tell if he's faking it.
Jeffrey Landman, playing Hart's agent and sleazy enabler Doc with beady-eyed avidity, defies one-dimensional expectations with the pathos of his "Falling in Love" solo. It's doubtful that "Falling in love with love is falling for make believe/Falling in love with love is playing the fool" could be sung with more grinding bitterness.
Hart's secret real life turns out to be notably on display in many of these lyrics, and director Jim Fall, musical director Keith Harrison and the entire top-notch six-member cast make the most of it. (Concealed offstage, keyboardist Kathryn Lounsbery plays keyboard and conducts Larry Tuttle on bass, Jesse Wiener on keyboard and percussionist Brian Boyce.)
Fletcher, tired of "the secrets and shadows" of his own closeted life, hopes to attract Hart's attention and be admitted to "the golden circle" of Manhattan sophisticates. But he doesn't land the show and before the two briefly connect as lovers — an interlude directed and performed with heart-rending tenderness — they meet in a speakeasy, then a jail cell after a police sweep for "degenerates," and, after the crash of 1929, at a department store where Fletcher is singing and selling sheet music. Too damaged to trust or return affection, Hart is unable to sustain the relationship. Goldberg's tears are real when he sings "You Are Too Beautiful." The production is no weep fest — there's ample humor —but the depth of feeling among the cast powers authentic emotional resonance.
A few quibbles: Saltzman's book thins in places. Rodgers is sketched primarily in the composer's impatience with Hart's no-show attitude toward work and his alcoholic binges, yet this creative team was formed when Hart was in his 20s and Rodgers still a teenager. Their remarkably fruitful years together encompass a lengthy joint history and an apparently dramatic dynamic shift between them. Other fleshing out (the show runs an intermissionless 95 minutes) could give stronger acknowledgment of Hart's odd physical appearance as a significant factor in his sad self-loathing, although Goldberg's suave attractiveness works against it. (Of diminutive stature, with a large head, Hart is often described as "gnomish.")
Production values, despite the Colony's budget woes, are solid. The visual polish of Jeff McLaughlin's Art Deco-style unit set is complemented by lighting designer Sohail e. Najafi's glow of sunset and the "Blue Moon" twilight viewed through lofty, oversized windows. Multi-level platforms and stairs provide effective performance spaces for seamless scene changes and for choreographer Lisa Hopkins' enjoyable, if brief, solo and group numbers. Costume designer Dianne K. Graebner, too, enhances the proceedings in no small way with a notable variety of well-tailored, well-researched ensembles.
The Colony has had many critical successes during its nearly 40-year-old history. It can count this show among them. Here's hoping that the company will weather hard times and continue adding to the tally.

You Say Potato, I Say Frittata
May 10, 2010
I made this delicious fritatta at the lake on Mother's Day — for my mother and grandmother. (Daddy, too) I think roasting the broccoli before throwing all the ingredients together really brought out the flavor. Throw in Patak beef bacon and you're sure to have a crowd pleaser.
Broccoli, Bacon & Cheese Frittata
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Large head of broccoli, chopped into florets and roasted w/ evoo (Use or add other veggies like onions, spinach, asparagus, etc.)
- 2 slices Patak beef bacon (Or about 5 slices "regular" bacon. You can also use ham or Canadian bacon.), cooked and coarsed chopped
Position an oven rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, 3 tablespoons of the cheese, the milk, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste together in a bowl.
Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and bacon, and heat through, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to distribute the fillings evenly. Cover, and cook until the bottom sets, but does not get too brown, about 9 minutes. Remove the cover, scatter the remaining 1 tablespoon of cheese over the surface. Run the frittata under the broiler until the top sets and browns slightly, about 1 minute. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then cut into squares. Serve warm or room temperature.

Looks good! I love to make frittatas for weekend breakfast/brunch. I've never had Patak beef bacon before, will have to give it a try.
