Connect with your inner flow to make your dreams come true!I am ready to change my life!
Make sure you check your promo folder and click the confirmation button in the email you receive. <3
Hi, my name is Ivy, nice to meet you!
I work with the moon-called, with free-spirits and with not-so-free spirits who need a bit of guidance to connect with their inner goddess.
I am a spiritual life coach, as well as a practicing witch, coven leader and priestess.
I've been practicing earth-based spirituality for over 20 years, and have been teaching, leading circles and covens for 15 of those years. Now I get to apply those skills to help you and others like you!
My mission is to empower women to connect with spirit. I help facilitate connection with the divine feminine inherent within every woman, as well as the "outer" god/dess that guides us on our path.
When I started this process I was feeling unfulfilled. My role as mom and wife are great, but that was all there was for me. I kept making excuses for not following through with working towards a new career. During our second session I had a clearer idea of what I really wanted to do with my life. Now, I have enrolled in a doula program that will put me on the road to my goal of becoming a midwife. It's always hard to have a clear picture of what you want, but when someone else helps you understand what you need to do to get to where you want to be, things suddenly don't seem so unobtainable. Ivy gave me small steps to take to get to where I wanted. I never understood why people would get life coaching. Now I understand and appreciate what life coaching can mean for someone like me. I can't thank you enough for the clarity you gave me!
Love, Love, Love working with Ivy! I've done a number of workshops with Ivy, "Envision Your Future" being the second vision board workshop I've participated in. Its amazingly effective and has become such a powerful tool for me. Laying out my goals in a tangible format really solidifies them. I hang my board where my family and I can see it and helps them to understand my needs so that its easier for them to be supportive. They even end up sharing some of my goals and we work at them together. Thank you Ivy for sharing your awesomeness with me!

Medical Evidence for Social Security Disability
Every decision in Social Security Disability (SSD) and SSI matters is based on a claimant's medical records, and what they say about his or her ability to work (or not). Because medical records are critical to the outcome of disability cases, some applicants make the mistake of sending in far too much information in an effort to bolster their claims. This is not at all helpful, because it makes the disability examiner or judge's job that much harder—sifting through a pile of records looking for acceptable medical evidence is both frustrating and time-consuming, when the ideal here is for the claimant to be as helpful as possible in providing a picture of his impairment and functional limitations.
Of course, some if not most people filing for disability don't really know what types of medical documentation Social Security is looking for, so they figure they'll throw in everything but the kitchen sink to be on the safe side, unaware that they are wasting everyone's time and probably delaying a decision in their case.
When submitting medical records for a disability examiner or judge to review, it's best to send in only medical records signed by a physician or psychologist. Medical opinions from nurses, chiropractors, acupuncturists, homeopaths, etc., are not considered acceptable medical evidence. X-ray films or other test results are not useful unless they are accompanied by a report and an interpretation--disability examiners and judges are not physicians, and do not know how to read these tests.

Sex Counts As 'Significant' Exercise, Says Scientists
Cancel the gym membership and send your kids/flatmates out to get milk - according to scientists, sex counts as 'significant' exercise.
This comes as good news to those of us who hate gyms or have been vacuuming the house a bit too vigorously to shed the festive season pounds.
Researchers, reported The Daily Mail, "found that men burn 120 calories from half an hour between the sheets, while women can lose 90 calories."
For most of us, that's the equivalent of a 15-minute jog.
""The couples were instructed to perform their usual sexual activities and not to use drugs, alcohol or medication for erectile dysfunction such as Viagra," reported The Telegraph.
The subjects, who were also asked to jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes, were fitted with armbands to measure how much energy they were expending and fill in questionnaires to record their enjoyment."
Aside from the findings of the study, there are plenty of other health benefits of sex, ahem, other than cardio.
Research from Scotland revealed that people who had sex even twice a fortnight managed stressful situations better.
WomensHealthMag.com reported: "That's because endorphins and oxytocin are released during sex, and these feel-good hormones activate pleasure centers in the brain that create feelings of intimacy and relaxation and help stave off anxiety and depression, says WH advisor Laura Berman, Ph.D., an assistant clinical professor of ob-gyn and psychiatry at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University and author of It's Not Him, It's You!"
The number of calories each person burned was recorded, as well as their metabolic equivalent of task (MET). This is what measures an activity against sitting still, which is called 1-MET.
In the end, the results showed that men burned on average 4.2 calories a minute, compared to 9.2 on the treadmill, while women burned 3.1 calories a minute during sex and 7.1 jogging.
The study also recorded an average 6-MET for men during sex and 5.6-MET for women, roughly the same as playing doubles tennis or walking uphill.
"These results suggest that sexual activity may potentially be considered, at times, as a significant exercise," said lead author Julie Frappier.
"Moreover, both men and women reported that sexual activity was a highly enjoyable and more appreciated than the 30 min exercise session on the treadmill. Therefore, this study could have implications for the planning of intervention programs as part of a healthy lifestyle by health care professionals."

text: So now this forum has pretty much been 'taken over' by people only using softmods. Especially now with the GC backup loader. But there still are the hardware mods too ofcourse. Those new generation chips, with a flatcable installing the chip between the drive and wii (instead of connecting to the drive itself), are there any more developments? I've heard about FlatMii (loading iso from computer through USB), DriveKey (loads backups from DVD) and another one that can load iso's from external sata HDD. Is that one real? I haven't heard any more news about it..

Joke: Hunting fossils!
Joke: Hunting fossils!
I like hunting fossils, a hobby that isn't exactly my wife's favorite. On one excursion, I found the petrified bones of a squirrel-like mammal. When I brought them home and told my wife what they were, she squelched my excitement.

Joke: The Bird Got The Word!
Joke: The Bird Got The Word!
There was this fella with a parrot. And the parrot swore like a sailor. He could swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself. The trouble was, the guy who owned him was a quiet, conservative type, and this bird's foul mouth was driving him crazy.
One day, it got to be too much, so the guy grabbed the bird by the throat, shook him really hard, and yelled, "QUIT IT!" But this just made the bird mad and he swore more than ever.
Then the guy got mad and said, "OK for you," and locked the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravated the bird and he clawed and scratched, and when the guy finally let him out, the bird cut loose with a stream of vulgarities that would make a veteran sailor blush.
At that point, the guy was so mad he threw the bird into the freezer. For the first few seconds there was a terrible din. The bird kicked and clawed and thrashed. Then it suddenly became quiet.
At first the guy just waited, but then he started to think the bird might be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he became worried and opened up the freezer door.
The bird calmly climbed onto the man's outstretched arm and said, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on."
The man was astounded. He couldn't understand the transformation that had come over the parrot.
Then the parrot said, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"

Joke: Buying A Bull!!!

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.
The brunette balances their checkbook, then takes their last $600 dollars out west to another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale. Upon leaving, she tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home." The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.
She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, "It's just 99 cents a word."
Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.
After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word, 'comfortable.'"
The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, 'comfortable'?"
The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde."
"She'll read it very slow."
Joke: The Mime at the Zoo
Joke: The Mime at the Zoo
One day an out-of-work mime is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper explains to the mime that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mime accepts.
So the next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He discovers that it's a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people, and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime.
However, eventually the crowds tire of him and he tires of just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it. At the end of the day the zoo keeper comes and gives the mime a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this goes on for some time, the mime keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up.
Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion he slips and falls. The mime is terrified. The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. The mime is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind. Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling, "Help, Help me!", but the lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, "Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?"

Joke: Big-city lawyer!
Joke: Big-city lawyer!
A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher. The rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.
The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store. The city-slicker attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court.
He did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking.
After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer couldn't resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, "You are really a country hick, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"
The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning."

The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.
He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?"
"Yes," said the parrot.
The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's your name?"
"Clarence," said the bird.
"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"

"Naw," the man hollered back, "They ain't been around for years!"
Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore. About halfway there he asked the guy, "How'd you get rid of the gators?"
"We didn't do nothin,'" the beachcomber said.
"Wow," said the tourist.
The beachcomber added, "The sharks got 'em."

Joke: The Snake and the Rabbit!
Joke: The Snake and the Rabbit!
A snake and a rabbit were racing along a pair of intersecting forest pathways one day, when they collided at the point where the pathways meet. They immediately began to argue with one another as to who was at fault for the mishap.
When the snake remarked that he had been blind since birth, and thus should be given additional leeway, the rabbit said that he, too, had been blind since birth. The two animals then forgot about the collision and began commiserating concerning the problems of being blind.
The snake said that his greatest regret was the loss of his identity. He had never been able to see his reflection in water, and for that reason did not know exactly what he looked like, or even what he was.
The rabbit declared that he had the same problem. Seeing a way that they could help each other, the rabbit proposed that one feel the other from head to toe, and then try to describe what the other animal was.
The snake agreed, and started by winding himself around the rabbit. After a few moments, he announced, "You've got very soft, fuzzy fur, long ears, big rear feet, and a little fuzzy ball for a tail. I think that you must be a bunny rabbit!"
The rabbit was much relieved to find his identity, and proceeded to return the favor to the snake. After feeling about the snake's body for a few minutes, he asserted, "Well, you're scaly, you're slimy, you've got beady little eyes, you squirm and slither all the time, and you've got a forked tongue. I think you're a lawyer!"

Joke: The Parrot!
Joke: The Parrot!
A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store.
The parrot said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." Well, the lady is furious!
She stormed past the store to her work.
On the way home she saw the same parrot and it said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." She was incredibly ticked now.
The next day the same parrot again said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly."
The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and said that she would sue the store and kill the bird. The store manager replied profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn't say it again.
When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, "Hey lady."
She paused and said,"Yes?"
The bird said, "You know."
Joke: The Yeti
Joke: The Yeti
An English explorer was taking part in an expedition to the Himalayas. Led by a grizzled local guide, they ascended one of the less frequently climbed peaks. Roughly half way up the side of the mountain, one of the expedition came across a set of large manlike tracks in the snow.
"Yeti tracks," the guide said with a gruff voice as he passed them. "One thing you must know before we proceed; do NOT, under any circumstances, touch the yeti."
The expedition heeded his warning and continued to climb the slope, night fell and the explorers set up their tents. In the dead of night the Englishman awoke to the sound of his tent entrance unzipping. Half asleep he looked up to see an enormous eight foot yeti standing above him. In fear for his life the explorer jumped up and ran out of the tent, banging into the yeti in the process. The yeti, after being touched by the explorer let out a deafening howl and began to chase the explorer down the slope.
The explorer ran away from the camp as quickly as his legs could take him, after he rounded a corner he looked behind him to see the bounding form of the yeti still chasing him.
So the explorer continued to run, reaching the bottom of the mountain in just two days, exhausted he paused to rest awhile. After just a few moments, the explorer began to hear the soft 'thud thud thud' of yeti feet on snow, he looked up the slope to see the yeti still chasing him and only moments away.
The explorer took off again, reaching a supply shack a couple of miles away, once there quickly buying a mountain bike and pedaling his way to the nearest town, some fifty miles away. The journey took him several days over the rough terrain and after his arrival he booked into a hotel to recuperate.
Two days later the man left his hotel to see about booking transport back to England. As soon as he turned around though he saw the form of the yeti on the horizon, bounding towards him at great speed. Mortified by this sight, the explorer hurriedly bought a car and drove it away from the village all the way to Delhi. Once he arrived, the man wasted no time in getting on the next plane to London.
After his arrival back in London, the man went back to his London home for a while to recover and to plan his next expedition. He had been there less than two weeks and was gazing out of a window when he saw a familiar large bounding, manlike creature running down his street; the man couldn't believe it, somehow the yeti had followed him to England!
The man had little choice but to run away again, he used any means he could, bike, car, or on foot to try to escape the yeti, but each time he looked behind him, it was just moments before the yeti came into view.
Eventually the man made it all the way to Edinburgh and from there ran into the open Scottish countryside. He continued to run but the yeti just kept getting closer and closer, and in the end the man could run no more.
With the yeti less than a minute away from him, the man finally stopped and turned around to face the oncoming creature. With the last of his strength he stood up straight as the yeti caught up with him. The eight foot tall yeti towered above the man who could only stare in terror. The yeti extended his hand and poked the Englishman squarely in the chest with one long finger and with a low rumbling voice the yeti began to speak:
"Tag! You're it!"

Joke: Scared Stiff... !!!
Joke: Scared Stiff... !!!
Jimmy received a parrot for Christmas. The parrot was fully grown, with a very bad attitude and a worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive; those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude. Jimmy tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music...anything he could think of. Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird, and the bird got worse. He shook the bird, and the bird got madder and more rude. Finally, in a moment of desperation, Jimmy put the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly, there was absolute quiet.
Jimmy was frightened that he might have actually hurt the bird, and quickly opened the freezer door.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto Jimmy's extended arm and said, "I'm sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions, and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior". Jimmy was astounded at the change in the bird's attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued, "May I ask what the chicken did?"

The hypnotist jumped in, swam to the shark and stared it in the eye for a full minute. The animal paused, blinked, and then tore into him. The bleeding man slowly made his way out of the tank.
"I thought you could hypnotize him," sneered the feeder.
"I did," the hypnotist said, holding his arm. "Now he thinks he's an alligator."

"Well, Your Honor," the hiker replies, "it tasted like a cross between a whooping crane and a spotted owl."

After more than two decades since its release, the famous Comic Sans fonts is still haunting our font dropbox. That awkward, weird, and unpleasing typeface makes it immediately clear that we were not too smart to use it when we were kids during our homeworks and presentations.
Now, a new short from CNN-backed video network Great Big Story tells the tale of how Comic Sans was created. It takes you back in time to the early 90s when designer Vincent Connare created it for Microsoft's Bob interface and exploring his inspirations. Be sure to check out the video below.

Exercise as Daily Practice
Exercise is a vital part of my daily practice. In fact, I usually log my exercise in my magical record, and I consider my day successful if I made it to the gym. Exercise is an investment in my body, which is the manifest vehicle of my Will. It allows me to maintain physical and emotional equilibrium even in trying times. It is also an expression of devotion towards self. Exercise is proven to reduce depression and anxiety while instilling confidence. Besides, it feels great to inhabit a healthy body!
Nutrition is also an important part of my life. I have diabetes on both sides of my family as well as a family history of heart disease. That makes proper nutrition and self-care essential for me as I move into middle age. No longer can a party like the rock star I was in my 20s. In my 40s I put on weight very easily and have to maintain discipline to keep myself trim and fit. A large part of that discipline is nutrition. I eat a diet that is primarily high in protein with some complex carbs and other low glycemic index foods.
Maintaining Physical and Emotional Equilibrium through Nutrition
Nutrition is not all that complicated if you focus on macronutrients and get sugars out of your diet. I track my calories with an app, and I plan and cook my meals on Sundays. That way I have healthy food available and already portioned out into containers so that I can effectively be lazy about it for the rest of the week. Tracking my calories allows me to quickly drop weight or slowly add calories to assist in building up lean muscle. You really are what you eat. I've been astonished at how important proper nutrition is at maintaining physical and emotional equilibrium.
I do find that having a focus on exercise and nutrition takes a conscious application of Will. It is much easier to disappear into Facebook while sitting on the couch and ordering pizza. However, that is the sedentary path that causes a cessation of growth (except around the middle). The easy foods in America are terrible for you. I typically do not consider processed food as something that is really edible. By crossing it off of my list of possibilities for nourishment, I free myself to make the correct choices.
Magick of Changing Daily Habits
Really, all of this is about behavioral management through the installation of daily habits. It is just like getting the hang of doing a daily banishing. It's just that basic of a practice. When you get exercise and nutrition dialed in, you're able to keep an emotional and physical equilibrium that greatly assists in your aspiration.
After a period of established practice, you'll get an idea of exactly how subtle changes to diet or exercise affect your bodily vehicle. I highly recommend making nutrition and exercise part of your lifestyle.

These lessons will take your suit wearing game to another level.
It's either too big making them look like hand-me-downs or too small making the wearing look uncomfortable and skimpy. If you want to look ostentatious and dapper when picking a suit up then keep these 7 things in mind. They'll come in handy
A good suit should always have the shoulder pads lying on your shoulders and nothing more or less than that. A bad shoulder on a suit will affect the suit in a bad way.
Never ever opt for a suit jacket that is very short or too long that it moves over the zip of the pants. Imagine how weird that will look especially because it' not a tailcoat or a vest
Your pants should be a perfect fit and finding how that works is simple. The pants should be long enough to cover just the top of the shoe and some parts of the lace. If the pants do not touch the shoe or its too long that it falls all over the shoe and leaves extra cloth at certain parts of your feet then you need not to wear or purchase it.
Actually some of the types of suit tailoring do not allow vents. English cuts allows for two vents whiles their Italian rivals do not allow for cuts at all. However American cuts have just one vent. A vent on a suit jacket makes you more fashion forward.
It's a fashion faux pas to wear bow ties with a corporate suit or along with a white tie and most people tend to get it completely wrong with this one. Always go for a black bow tie and a cummerbund for a white tux. However a black-tie event requires that you wear a bow tie or a long tie with a tuxedo.
Your suit jacket shouldn't cover your hand or below your wrist. It needs to fall exactly on your sleeve and showing a little bit of your shirt sleeve. Always opt for a darker color for your shirt.
It's much advisable to do double button with a peak notch lapel and a single button for more relaxed atmosphere. Make sure to always unbutton it when you sit down and not forgetting remove the label from the jacket's left sleeve with a pair of scissors.
We hope this article was helpful.

Both Microsoft big wig, Steve Ballmer, and rebel Yahoo shareholder Carl Icahn said last month that they believed a takeover by Microsoft of Yahoo would be a huge benefit to both companies.
Said Icahn: "I will say and I continue to say that sooner or later there's got to be a deal with Microsoft and Yahoo of some type. I really believe that very strongly".
Yahoo has always refuted this and has rejected two Microsoft bids as a result - despite pressure from its shareholders.
But, with the prospect of the ad deal with Google now well and truly scuppered by antitrust authorities in the US of A, is Yahoo now reconsidering its options?
According to Reuters, none other than Jerry Yang, Yahoo's co-founder and CEO, a Microsoft deal may be the "best option" for the beleaguered web company.
Shares in Yahoo rose 5.7% upon the admittal.
So should we now be buying ringside seats for Yahoo and Microsoft, round 101?

Against an Establishment of Language
One of the proposals that keeps coming up on legislative agendas all over the country is making English the official language of the state/nation (I noticed it recently looking over the agenda of the Georgia House). Not only does this phenomenon seem to be largely an anti-Mexican move, which is almost motivation enough for me to oppose it, there are several reasons why even anti-Mexican conservatives should be against it.
1. Historically speaking, all the previous immigrant waves in the United States were absorbed into the English language without this measure. I grant that there are still pockets where English isn't spoken, like the various Chinatowns, but these are only small fractions of the population and the majority of them (at least of the youth) can probably speak English anyway. I imagine kids from Chinatown are educated in English.
2. Who really cares anyway? The large influx of Spanish speakers into Atlanta has produced, in addition to a larger, more dedicated labor pool, one extra step in ATM transactions, the one where you press one button for English and one button for Spanish. Even if English becomes the official language, there will still be a demand for Spanish language service, and since I can't imagine that the law would prohibit it entirely, that step will still be there.
3. For people who worry that people who don't speak English will start demanding legal services in other languages, they can take it easy. Cases like this have come up in LA County, where there are lots of immigrants (assaulting the titanic California economy like icebergs, no doubt), and last I heard, they were still going to English-speaking courts. Also last I heard, English wasn't the official language and this still happened. When I heard this it wasn't Spanish in question, but some south Asian language; it's possible that if a language has enough speakers they could force the courts to try them in that language, but if so, why shouldn't such a large community be able to have a court that represents them?
4. The most abstract reason, but the one that first came to my mind when I saw the legislative agenda, is that if the government at some level declares English the official language within its territory, won't they have to start controlling English? Languages change all the time (inevitably, says Steven Pinker), and it's not enough to say that English is the official language, whatever English is. Do we mean English vocabulary? That changes almost every day. Do we mean English grammar rules? Those are ignored every day. Since there isn't already an official Academy of the English Language, wouldn't this kind of law ultimately lead to its establishment? Otherwise people could skirt the law by saying that there isn't an official definition of English. If a network of professionals and academics in universities make up a looser version of the Academy, do they all have to agree? Is there a majority rule, and what happens when the majority changes its mind? Ironically, if this happened it would be likely that political liberals (who compose most English departments) would be in charge of the definitions and wouldn't be as knee-jerk anti-Mexican as the supporters of the law had in mind.
Only one thing can come from government control of language. Debasement of the language. Look what happens right now with government-speak. There aren't dead innocents, there is collateral damage. You're not [insert race term], you're [insert ever-changing list of race terms]. You don't describe things accurately anymore, you use the blandest language possible. George Orwell wrote a famous essay on this point, and it's well worth a read now (here).
If English is so important, do we really want this fate for it?
Here in Vancouver we have an
Here in Vancouver we have an eclectic mix of roughly 30% European, 30%Asian, and 30%Indian with 10% other(haha). There are a certian group of the electorate that want to force all immigrants to learn english, and a smaller group like myself that don't really care what they do, and in fact, enjoy all of it. Some(immigrants) actively seek out esl and others have no intention or need to learn english and stay within the group they immigrated with, a la the 1800's chinese.(BTW, the japanese who immigrated here have always integrated and co-mingled to the point where i would consider them more 'Canadian' than me!) I live and work in an area called chinatown and most transactions are slightly difficult and involve a lot of handwaving etc. But guess what? I enjoy it and it gets done. how are you going to make a 75 year old woman learn english? The only time this discussion ever arises is when i'm with a subgroup of my friends who i'll call 'rednecks' and who i think are parroting the ideas instilled in them by their blue haired racist mother or father. they rarely interact with the people they are complaining about and most don't even live anywhere near an area where the 'problems' exist. its an age old problem and is certain to cause much consternation in the 'old south' know what i'm sayin!
I don't know about making it
I don't know about making it the official language, but perhaps it could do some good in heading off "language discrimination" cases. I haven't heard of any yet, but I sense them coming. Those annoying commercials I see on TV supporting anti-assimilation behavior almost make me wish english was our official language (or at least put into law as the language used in courts and our many bureaucracies ). It doesn't seem prudent in our culture of victimization to leave this avenue open (Of course bringing this issue to the national scene could possibly be a spark that starts that type of thing up, so who knows).
One argument for
One argument for pro-mexicans, and pro-english, is that non-english speakers are functionally second-class citizens in this country.
Not an argument for governmental force, of course.
Something to bear in mind.
Something to bear in mind. Aside from the ascendance of Anglo countries economically and militarily for the past few centuries the other reason for the use of the English language internationally is its flexibility. The fact that you can ignore grammar rules, make up new words, etc. is a good thing. The language can continuously evolve. Languages where the government tried to control and manage its development (French, for example) cannot evolve as needed. Consider the impact of that on the English language if a government were to attempt to control it.
Making English the official
Making English the official language of the U.S. is like making North America the official continent of the U.S.
It doesn't change anything, but it makes you look like a jackass.
If this gives me a chance to
If this gives me a chance to execute people who use "it's" for "its", confuse "your" and "you're", and use "who" even when "whom" is correct, I fully support this measure.

English as the Official
Catallarchy has a post critical of the "English as Official Language" movement, which I support and about which I have blogged previously.
In places where English is
In places where English is the official language, how does one order a burrito? Are we supposed to say "meat and beans and cheese in a flour or corn wrap"? That seems so... French. Or German. Can one rent a limousine? Is it impossible to refer to al-Qaida by name? And what about the names of most of our states? I don't think "Idaho" has Anglo-Saxon parentage.
As Randall noted, making English official is one thing. But determining what English is, is another thing entirely. Perhaps the English-only types should read Poul Anderson's "Uncleftish Beholding" http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.language.artificial/msg/69250bac6c7cbaff before deciding what English-only really means.
BTW, for the Vancouver contingent, I spent my formative years in the White Rock area, but moved to the States in 1976.
The argument for English as
The argument for English as Official Language is to prevent explodign expense in government/legal circles paying for translators in the course of accomodating non-English speakers.
I'm tribalist enough to say "non" to the extra expense in accomodation.
Fine then, let it be done on

Over the objections of DuPage County prosecutors, a Naperville North High School counselor and coach charged with sexually abusing a 16-year-old female student was given permission today to attend a family vacation next week in Cancun, Mexico.
John Carbonaro, 33, of Warrenville, pleaded not guilty today to eight counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
"We strenuously object," Assistant State's Attorney Michael Pawl said about allowing Carbonaro permission to go to Mexico. "We are talking about spring break and we know what that attracts. This is a very serious charge."
Judge Blanche Hill Fawell said she wasn't familiar with the case and asked Pawl for more information. Pawl said Carbonaro was the alleged victim's coach, counselor and "on occasion, she babysat his child."

Great line from 'Mavis Wavertree':
"Bears and other animals attacked us at their will".
Doubt it's ever been repeated in a song. Worth getting it for that.
Cheers tardy. He was indeed a rare talent and much missed. His script writing with Barry Took for Round The Horne was in a class of its own!
Oh, man - what a find! That is such a scream.

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better person.
~Benjamin Franklin
This past year has been a tumultuous year of ups and downs. But I'll admit, it was mostly downs. I'm ready to see what 2012 brings and am really looking forward to the year! Here's a recap of the year for the Wuzzy Household:
January saw the return of Huzzy on New Year's Day and my first dependent's cruise. At this point, we had been married for nearly two years but only spent 14 weeks together… and not all of it at once! In fact, we'd only spent seven weeks together at one time.
February was the month we were supposed to move into our new house, but delays with our banks started and were really frustrating us.
March gave us just a hint of what was to come… our nearly 12 year old Greyhound, Chase, had to be sent to the Rainbow Bridge after what we can only guess was cancer of some sort… most likely throat. But it was the traumatizing injury that happened while he was at the vet's that took him sooner than expected.
April was the worst month in the Wuzzy household. The second week of the month, Huzzy's dad had a massive heart attack and never regained consciousness. Huzzy was able to fly cross country in time to make it to the hospital in order to be there with his brother while they made the heartbreaking decision to take their dad off life support. He was gone for the rest of the month. The same day we got the call about his dad, we moved into our first home purchased together. That bright point was hard to see at the time but we recognize it now and cherish our home. Because of his loss, Huzzy was unable to go on his boat's spring/summer deployment (though he was supposed to pick it up part way through but due to the boat's change in schedule, that never happened). My cat our family got in 7th grade died (at my mom's house). It was his time, but it was still sad.
May was spent pretty much alone as Huzzy was gone for all but a few days of it taking care of his dad's estate. We realized our former landlords were not going to give us our deposit money back nor even acknowledge that we existed. I also learned I was probably going to need surgery on my shoulder. It was this month that I also was promoted to LTjg and we started fostering kittens for the local humane society.
June started and ended crappy but the middle was a pretty good because my mom came to visit and Huzzy was here for my birthday for the first time in our marriage. Of course, he made it with only 10 minutes to spare, but technically, he made it. Before either of them got here, one of our first foster kittens ended up biting me down to the bone in my finger (it was a feral kitten I was taming) and I had to go to the ER. Good news? That kitten is now a fantastically friendly kitten who apparently got a great home! Right after that, my mom had to put our childhood dog down. She had cancer. And the end of June saw yet more death… my cat, Sadie, that my mom was keeping at her house and that I was going to bring home in 2012 died.
July was probably one of the best months of the year, even though it started off with the death of someone who was like a grandfather to me. I finally, after 16 months, got a job. I also spent my two weeks AT on the USS Nimitz, which, even though it was in drydock, was fantastic. Huzzy and I spent Independence Day together, which was only our second holiday together as a married couple.
August started out with court mediation with our former landlords. That didn't bring any resolution so a court date in front of a judge was set but the earliest one was five months away. The month also brought news that I was definitely having shoulder surgery and ended with bringing our third set of foster kittens home… these ones just 10 days old (with momma). We ended up keeping two of them and naming them Kissy and Skully.
September was fun because my brother came out to visit. I hadn't seen him in nearly two years and he had never been west of the Mississippi.
October saw me transferred to a new Navy Reserve unit… one that I'm really excited about working with for the next three years. It also was the month I had my shoulder surgery. Huzzy also left to go on a short patrol (not with his crew) to get some qualifications done.
November was the month I met my new unit… but two days before that, I was laid off from my job. Huzzy also came back juuust in time for us to spend our first Thanksgiving together in one place since we were married. We spent it with friends and some Single Sailors from his command.
December also brought two more deaths… someone that was like a grandmother to me (yes, the wife of man who died in July) and my great-aunt, whom I had met only once. But it bought us yet another holiday together… Christmas. It was nice to spend it together and not be alone. However, he has 24hr duty from 8 a.m. New Year's Eve through 8 a.m. New Year's Day, so we'll have to wait until our fourth NYE married before we have a chance of ringing in the New Year together… if he doesn't have duty then! We also found out our landlords filed for bankruptcy, so the court has canceled our court date and we will probably never get our money back. A$$hats.
So while we've had some great times this year… it has been overshadowed by way too much death. I'm so ready for 2012 and hope it brings happiness, healing (both physical and emotional) and LIFE.

Even though Tekken is my favourite fighting game, I've always been a big fan of the fighting game genre in general. The moments of pure adrenaline when your heart and mind starts racing in a battle against a strong opponent… there are few things that capture that kind of feeling for me.
But whether you're into fighting games or not, you should check out this free documentary on the Street Fighter competitive scene called More Than A Game. Apart from a couple of spelling errors, it's very well put together and gives you a glimpse into why so many people are competitive about video games.

CNET First Look
eMachines T5224The eMachines T5224 has a sleek new look, runs Windows Vista and delivers respectable budget performance with most of the features you'd want, but we think you can find a better PC for the money if you shop around.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:01 >> Hi, I'm Rich Brown, senior editor for CNET.com. Today we're going to talk about the E Machine's T5224. This model is the top of E Machine's new line of systems. But because they're all pretty budgeted, you're really not going to get a lot of multimedia or gaming performance. Still it'll get you through any basic computing task you want to deal with. If you look at the front of this system, you'll see E Machine's new design. It's a little bit sharper than the old model, probably a little more aesthetically pleasing. You also see on the front panel a DVD burner as well as space for another optical drive if you'd like to add one. Probably wouldn't go BluRay of HD DVD on this model because it doesn't have a very high end graphics card and you definitely need that to pilot through that high end video. But there is a media card reader, so digital cameras, cell phones with removable media, any really hand held portable device is going to work pretty well with this system. Inside the case you can see you have a fair amount of expansion room. You have room for another hard drive here as well as a handful of expansion cards. You can add a discreet 3D graphics card, but because the power supply is pretty small, we wouldn't recommend the higher end model, because they suck up a lot of power. Now this system is a fixed configuration that you have to pretty much buy in retail. So you get one gig of memory, a 250 gig hard drive, and an older Intel Pentium D 820 dual core processor. Altogether that's not a bad deal for the price, but we kind of wish E Machines went with AMD on the processor side. We found that compared to the Pentium D series anyway, AMD's newer chips have a little bit better bang for the buck. Now this system is the first true budget Vista desktop we've seen so far. We like it. It's not too bad. But we're definitely interested to see what other vendors have to show. I'm Rich Brown and that's the E Machine's T5224. ^M00:01:40 [ Music ]

Bermondsey and Old Southwark deserves an MP able to influence policy and ensure better outcomes and opportunities for our community and country as a whole.
Our Lib Dem MP and Tory-led Government Minister has failed in a number of areas.
- The 'super-sewer' decision affects our riverside community and upends a primary school playground for years as a result of our MP's inability to influence Eric Pickles at the Department for Communities and Local Government.
- The coalition 'Help to Buy' scheme for first time buyers has shockingly failed to help a single person buy their first home in the Bermondsey and Old Southwark constituency.
- A whole raft of Government policies have impacted negatively in Southwark which our MP failed to prevent. These include:
- 5,000 people being hit by the Bedroom Tax;
- 300 fewer police officers and PCSOs; and the closure of the Southwark fire station despite our growing population.
- Axing the council's budget by £310 per person in the borough leaving Southwark the 6th worst affected council in cuts since 2010.
Other Lib Dems have left office rather than vote for such policies – including Sarah Teather on welfare cuts. But the Lib Dem MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark has remained in office despite the controversy and apparent hypocrisy.
The local MP is Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice. This includes overseeing the controversial privatisation of probation services – affecting 40 officers in January alone in Southwark, set to leave the Met's staff count according to the Borough Commander. It also includes the embarrassing attempt to ban books reaching prisoners. And includes direct responsibility for axing help to families seeking legal aid.
Locally, I have spoken to a mother in Bermondsey unable to seek changes to access rights granted to her violent ex-partner despite his behaviour becoming more disturbing for her and the children. And I've met a father in Walworth unable to fight for access to even see his children. Whilst Thatcher was Prime Minister, my father fought for custody of my siblings and I to prevent us being separated and put in care. He won. It is hugely disturbing that I might never have seen my sister or brothers again if the Lib Dems had been in Government at the time.
The negative impact of coalition legal aid policy were condemned last September after the Children's Commissioner published a report demonstrating that the Government was breaching the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. A Lib Dem Minister and former barrister who claims to support human rights had left children without access to justice.
His pompous claims on Magna Carta and access to justice have resulted in public lampooning and further accusations of hypocrisy. Instead of seeking direct departmental policy change, the Lib Dem Minister claimed he had ordered his department to review the impact of the changes on children.
However, it has come to light that no specific review is underway or planned. This Lib Dem Minister is unable to influence his own department, let alone broader Government policy. A Lib Dem in power but not in office.
I make this very basic promise to people across Bermondsey and Old Southwark: that I will seek to influence Government policy to benefit people in Bermondsey and Old Southwark; and I will not vote for something I think will negatively impact on our community.
This promise is based on principles but also a decade's professional policy and campaigns work. My track record is on successfully influencing social care and social security policy:
- I helped ensure older people funded by councils in social care settings had their human rights upheld by influencing legislation under the last Government;
- I helped ensure this Government was forced to trial policies affecting disabled people and influenced a legal case to protect children from the bedroom tax; and
- As a result of my policy work, I have been invited to speak as an expert witness to three parliamentary committees examining Government policy, including the Joint Committee on Human Rights and Public Accounts Committee.
My promise to influence policy to benefit Bermondsey and Old Southwark should not be bold or extraordinary, but has become so after five years of our local MP failing to do so, leaving our community worse off as a result of his department and his Government's policies.
