Explore the crucial issues facing the GLBT population in their struggle for acceptance in contemporary America!
Sexual Minorities: Discrimination, Challenges, and Development in America examines the stumbling blocks that prevent gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and trangenders from living wholesome, healthy lives. This book concentrates on the effects of outside influences on the homosexual psyche from adolescence to mid-life and programs and services that need to be developed to improve quality of life. While some outside influences can make positive changes—such as Internet-based outreach to educate men in chat rooms about HIV—sexual minority groups face negativity from society in the forms of homophobia and heterosexism.
Sexual Minorities uses statistics, charts, graphs, and surveys to reveal a remarkable trend correlating how contemporary American society treats sexual minorities and how it affects their psychological and psychosocial health. This book also reveals how—when internalized— this hurtful discrimination can cause self-hatred and depression. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the GLBT population, including:
- the history of homophobia and intolerance toward homosexuals with its basis in cultural, religious, and sociological views
- an in-depth survey utilizing Erikson's psychosocial model to determine the lifespan development of seven "out" gay males who discuss their coming-out period, their roles in society, their legacies, and later-life issues
- the lack of federal legislation protecting GLBT employees in the workplace and recommendations for creating a sense of security for these employees
- a case study revealing the high incidence rate of heterosexism amongst social workers and the repercussions this could have among homosexual clientele
- surveys and statistics investigating the rate of abusive behavior in lesbian relationships
- three chapters involving specific issues of gay, lesbian, and bisexual adolescents, such as coming out, risk and protective factors, and being homosexual in a rural environment as opposed to a city

ARURF is the most toxic iteration of URF to date - but there's only ONE reason why.
It lacks a ban phase. URF was bad enough before, but at least in blind pick you could ban the worst offenders and pick "safe" picks. Now you're left to drift, wether you can enjoy the game or spend 20 to 40 minutes suffering in a state close to sobbing uncontrollably completely decided through luck. I just experienced a game where the enemy team refused to finish. They'd sit behind our nexus, close to the spawnpad and wait for us to spawn. Their team comp allowed us to safely and comfortable pick us off the instant we respawned. This continued for 16 minutes, because when we tried to surrender the vote was denied due to three people leaving the game but not yet being registered as afk, hence only two people voted to surrender. So thus we sat there. Unable to level up while our enemies kept leveling up again and again from spawnkilling us. Until the game finally decided the three leavers werent returning and let us end the suffering. Tl;dr: Just spent 38 minutes sitting on the spawnpad being perpetually spawnkilled again and again because ARURF decides how every game will play out. Please add a ban phase, at the very least.

Marius de Zayas Artworks
Mexican-American Caricaturist, Publisher, and Gallery Owner
Movements and Styles: Dada, Early American Modernism
Born: March 13, 1880 - Veracruz, Mexico
Died: January 10, 1961 - Stamford, CT, USA
Artworks by Marius de Zayas
The below artworks are the most important by Marius de Zayas - that both overview the major creative periods, and highlight the greatest achievements by the artist.
Alfred Stieglitz, L'Accoucheur d'Idées (The Midwife to Ideas) (1908-9)
Artwork description & Analysis: This depiction of his friend and collaborator is part of a series recording the artists of Alfred Stieglitz's circle. Stylistically more mysterious and suggestive than his commercial caricatures, this drawing suggests de Zayas's Symbolist inspirations as he adapts his style to depict his artistic colleagues. Stieglitz is shown as a solitary figure, emerging from a dark background. Recognizable by his bristly moustache and glasses, de Zayas subtly differentiates between Stieglitz's black outfit and the black field, to create a spectral vision. The elongated figure furthers this immaterial representation of the body. The darkness is punctuated only by a glowing full moon that circles Stieglitz's head like a halo and suggests a quasi-religious role for the gallerist. The drawing evokes an otherworldly spirit.

All In It (1912)
Artwork description & Analysis: The politically progressive de Zayas family was forced into exile when Marius was a young man. In New York, de Zayas drew political cartoons for a variety of newspapers and magazines, often criticizing America's actions towards Mexico and other less powerful countries. He was particularly distrustful of Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft, believing they only represented the interests of American industrialists such as John D. Rockefeller and his Standard Oil Co. In this cartoon from the Evening World Daily Magazine, both men, along with the Republican elephant, are immersed in dark waters - or crude oil - labeled "corporation campaign corruption."

Portrait of Alfred Stieglitz (1912-13)
Artwork description & Analysis: In his April-May 1913 exhibition at Alfred Stieglitz's "291" gallery, de Zayas showed a series of caricatures; some were in his conventional style that played with a recognizable and popular subject, but others, such as this portrait of Stieglitz, represented a new level of abstraction.

Mental Reactions (1915)
Artwork description & Analysis: The first example of American visual poetry, de Zayas produced this work in collaboration with Agnes Ernst Meyer; it was published in 291 journal in April 1915. He was directly inspired by the experimental poetry, known as caligrams, of his French colleague, Guillaume Apollinaire, whom he had befriended in Paris and exchanged a number of works. In a letter to Stieglitz, de Zayas enthusiastically explained that Apollinaire was "doing in poetry what Picasso is doing in painting. He uses actual forms made up with letters. All these show a tendency towards the fusion of the so-called arts."

Sigh... I am a newbie to this platform, allow me to "shine my ignorance"! Long guns I am no stranger to, this platform though I confess to being a newbie.
PS, If any Fanbois show up and say stuff like "Hey that's not even a Colt, Umarex made it!" or "You could have at least gotten a real one and got the conversion kit for it." or "Whats a matter, can't handle a REAL cartridge?". Three words for ya: "Lighten up Francis". I can shoot this in indoor ranges, its cheap to shoot, and looks like it will be fun. Colt has farmed out lots of things in the past as well.

Nigel Lawson, the Chair of Vote Leave, and Daniel Hannan, leading leave campaigner, have today conceded what for months the leave campaigns have sought to conceal: Britain outside the EU would lose access to Europe's single market.
Writing in today's Telegraph Nigel Lawson says that outside the EU Britain "would continue to trade with the EU, as the rest of the world does today, almost certainly assisted by a bilateral free trade agreement."
We must be absolutely clear about what this means: Britain would not be part of the single market in goods and services, which is so critical to the UK economy, our businesses and families' personal finances.
Daniel Hannan, speaking on Sky News, again said that the UK should seek a relationship with the EU similar to that of Switzerland, which does not have full access to the EU's single market, in particular in services. Services make up 78% of the UK economy, so being cut out of the privileged trading terms currently on offer would have a huge impact on jobs, prices and the economic opportunities available to working people.
Why should we focus on the single market? Because the issue central to our country's economic future, and indeed this ongoing debate about the UK and Europe, is not whether we would trade with the EU but the terms on which that trade would be conducted.
Currently, as a full member of the EU's single market, covering both the goods and service sectors, Britain benefits from having no tariffs on our trade and having a seat at the table when trading regulations are set, so we can ensure they work in our industries' interests.
This increases UK-EU trade since trade barriers are reduced, which enables British-based businesses to expand in their nearest market and increase employment. This increases competition, which drives innovation and lowers prices. And this harmonises regulations, which lowers the overall burden of regulation on businesses. There is simply no alternative trading model which delivers these benefits to the same extent. Such is the attraction of the single market that it is a primary reason for foreign investment in the UK.
This collaboration of course means we need protections, for example over our own currency, which is why the Prime Minister has rightly prioritised this as part of his renegotiation.
If we follow Nigel Lawson's argument, we may get a trade agreement covering some goods, but we would likely pay tariffs on others, which would push up costs of imports for businesses and therefore consumers, and the costs of exports, which would hit demand for British goods. Given that in the UK 200,000 businesses trade goods with the EU, 75% of our businesses that do so internationally, this would undoubtedly have an impact on their capacity to expand and employ.
Critically, even if we had a free trade agreement with the EU, we would not be in the room when our competitors – whether Germany, France or other major European economies – were determining the terms of trade, for example the standards that products need to meet to enter the European market. Not only would that be bad for British business, as they would be adapting rules to suit the priorities of other European markets not our own, but it would hardly be a boost for British sovereignty: we would go from rule maker to rule taker.
And anyone arguing that they need us more than we need them should consider that half our goods exports go to the EU whereas on average just 5% of EU countries' come to the UK.
The single market is particularly important for the service sector, where we have a trade surplus with the EU. Currently, within the single market, we have access to the 'passport', which allows financial services firms based in the UK to conduct business across the whole European Economic Area while still being regulated in the UK. This, combined with common regulatory standards, has reduced costs, increased expansion and has seen the UK become home to many overseas companies' headquarters. Switzerland, Daniel Hannan's favourite example of what the UK should become, does not have this and if we leave this will be lost, with clear implications for jobs at home.
We could of course join the single market having left the EU, as Norway does, paying in to the budget, accepting free movement and accepting EU regulations, but having zero influence. But surely leave campaigners don't want to adopt a system where we pay but have no say.
We have long asked leave campaigners what 'out' looks like, and now we are beginning to find out. The EU is our largest trading partner – we sell six times more to the EU than we do to the BRICs – and the world's largest free trade zone. As the single market develops it will create jobs and opportunities. If the UK stands outside looking in we will not only miss out, we will be paying to abide by rules signed off in Brussels without a voice of our own.
So now that we have some clarity from the leave campaigns the choice is clear: increased trade within Europe to support jobs and low prices for businesses and families, or the UK outside, with our financial security at risk.

Why would I need Touchpanels over an iPad?
We usually install one or more wired touchpanel in every job. iPads are great to use as remote controls but a wired touchpanel is always in the same place, doesn't suffer from any wireless or update issues and can't be dropped and damaged. We have a variety of panel sizes to choose from – 7″ (TSW-752) and 10″ (TSW-1052) through to 20″ (TSD-2020) and generally the bigger the panel the easier it is to use.
In our higher end installations every room may be equipped with a touchpanel as this allows intercom around the home – "Call the kitchen" etc – and also allows panels to call users – "Call Dad". Touchpanels can also fully integrate with security systems showing CCTV, which rooms are occupied and alarm status. A single touchpanel can allow easy control of any electrical device in the home – they are very powerful things!

How Does The WooCommerce Integration Work?
- Every 10 minutes, new orders will be download from WooCommerce to Veeqo.
- When you ship an order in Veeqo, WooCommerce is updated with the details. This includes the fulfilment status, any tracking numbers along with an email confirmation sent to your customer.
- Every 60 minutes, Veeqo checks for new products in WooCommerce to be downloaded.
- When stock levels change for a product in Veeqo, the changes will be pushed to WooCommerce immediately.
- Products created in WooCommerce can be listed straight to Amazon from Veeqo with the Amazon Lister Tool.
To add a new WooCommerce store to Veeqo follow these steps
Adding A New WooCommerce Store To Veeqo
1. First go to Settings>Stores in Veeqo
2. Press the + New Store button
3. Add the details of your WooCommerce store:
- Type: Select WooCommerce as the store type.
- Name: Give your store a name to be used in Veeqo. e.g. 'WooCommerce UK'
- Default Warehouse: Select which warehouse you want to use for this particular store. You may have multiple warehouses and select a specific one for this particular store e.g. You might have a warehouse in London for shipping your WooCommerce UK Orders and one in New York for shipping your WooCommerce US orders.
- Currency: Select the currency which you are selling in on this store. e.g. For WooCommerce UK you may be selling in British Pound whereas WooCommerce US may be US Dollar. Veeqo will convert any orders from these stores into the set base currency of your Veeqo account.
- Store URL: Enter the URL for your store, for example 'http://www.veeqo-shop.com'.
- Store Shipping Email: By default Veeqo will use the address defined in Company Email, which can be found in Settings>General. However, if you want a store to use a separate email address enter the one you want to use instead here
4. Scroll down to the next section to decide How Listings Are Synced. When the setting is switched on the button toggle button will appear blue and when off will show as white. All the option in Steps 4 - 8 can be toggled at any point after the store has been created, however settings for listings should be chosen prior to activating the store. Below is a list of each option and what they do:
|Search for existing products in Veeqo which have the same SKU code and link them?
|When you connect your WooCommerce store Veeqo will begin pulling in your listings. With the above option switched on Veeqo will look for matching SKUs from your WooCommerce listings and existing Veeqo products and link them. This is useful if you already have some existing products in Veeqo that you've either added manually or created using listings which have pulled in from another store.
|If the product has the same NAME then link them
|If Veeqo doesn't find a matching SKU between your listing and an existing Veeqo product then with the above option switched on Veeqo will attempt to suggest links based on matching titles. If the title matches exactly then Veeqo will automatically link them together. If the titles aren't a complete match but appear similar Veeqo will suggest a match for you to confirm on the Listings page.
|If Veeqo can not find a matching product, then a new product will be created
|This setting is especially useful if the store you're adding is either your only store or your first one and contains most of your product lines. If the listing doesn't have a matching SKU or a matching title with an existing product a new product will be created. If the listing is a variant listing then the listings will automatically be turned in to a variant product in Veeqo.
TIP: To avoid creating duplicate products in Veeqo we recommend keeping this switched off for your additional stores you add unless you're certain all product listings on the additional store are unique.
|Manually let me link these listings to products in Veeqo?
|This is the opposite to the option 'Search for existing products in Veeqo which have the same SKU code and link them?'. If this option is turned on you'll need to go through each listing and search for a matching product and link them, or create a new product if there isn't an existing one in Veeqo. When this option is turned on Veeqo will not look for matching Name or SKU. This is useful if your products don't have matching SKUs or names and you want to make sure they are linked correctly
|Sync the stock quantities from this store?
|This option should be switched on if you're wanting to initially pull the stock figures that you have on your store for each listing. When you link up the listing to either a new or existing product in Veeqo the stock figure pulled from the store will show on the product. While this option remains on Veeqo will automatically pull in stock from this store every hour and update the Veeqo product, however this stock won't automatically get pushed across to your other stores
5. Scroll down a bit further to the section How Products Are Synced and choose the settings for your company
|When a product is updated on my store, sync the changes to my Veeqo products?
|When this is switched on Veeqo will check for changes to you've made on your listing every hour. If you update the following on your WooCommerce store it will update the Veeqo product the listing is connected to:

Marshall MXL V67G Review
Ideally, we'd all like to get the best equipment we can for as close to free as possible. More and more, manufacturers are aiming to produce quality audio equipment that is accessible and affordable. Enter Exhibit A, the MXL V67G manufactured by Marshall Electronics. This microphone gives high quality performance for a pretty great price (less than $100) and serves as a prime example of what can be done if we can all just do our best.
This one is charming and absolutely gorgeous. It's a sexy, vintage-inspired large diaphragm FET condenser microphone with a transformer-coupled output and rising +3dB presence peak from 2kHz – 10kHz. The microphone's capsule has a 25mm diaphragm made of 6-micron Mylar with dual back plates common in many of MXL's microphones. The grill is metal mesh (double layered) with a gold finish and the brass body brushed an extremely retro shade of teal.
Now let me get the ugly out of the way first – I'm not crazy about the accessories, and Marshall Electronics does not produce matching pairs of this particular microphone. That said it's all up from here. The V67G has a wide, flat frequency response and does a great job of adding warmth and depth to acoustic instruments, particularly stringed instruments, and vocals. Vocals have a crisp, natural sound, very open with a smooth and mellow finish. There's very little need for compression (though the low-mids can sound a bit boxy).
The MXL V67G comes with a rather large, 1" gold-sputtered diaphragm and is packaged with a plastic mount and soft travel case. A shock mount can be purchased separately if one so desires. The V67G would work well in a home studio environment and even the occasional live performance. This microphone is well worth the investment.

The quality of the on-board camera is apparently similar to a GoPro Hero3 (1080p), and it can also take 12 megapixel stills while travelling at up to 25mph. Battery lasts around 20 mins and Lily can reach an altitude of 100 feet.
Some of the more obvious applications, include snow and water skiing, rock climbing, mountain climbing, and mountain biking.
At a RRP of $999 (£637) it is clearly aimed at wealthy enthusiasts and professional athletes, however, if you compare it to the cost of a high-end DSLR plus selfie stick the price point, although expensive, isn't crazy. Lily can be pre-ordered for $499 (£318) directly from the company's website: www.lily.camera and the estimated shipping date is Feb 2016.

University of California San Francisco (UCSF) researchers have found that among women co-infected with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV), African Americans were less likely to die of liver disease. Of nearly 800 women enrolled in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) at UCSF, 438 deaths occurred over a period of nine years. Of these, 37% were due to HIV/AIDS and 11% to liver-related disease. Liver-related disease was responsible for 21% of deaths among Latinas and 14% of deaths among whites, but only 8% of deaths among African Americans.
Overall, the incidence of death among the three groups was similar: 56% of African Americans and whites, and 52% of Latinas. The findings were published in the November 2012 issue of Hepatology. Racial differences in liver disease are already known. Among these, the study noted that African Americans have lower spontaneous HCV clearance than whites, yet slower rates of liver fibrosis once chronically infected.

|I am asking if I will be able to become friends with a celebrity whom I have a lot in common with and greatly admire, I think it's saying no; but I want to make sure.

My interpretation:
The B star is the appointed, since I am asking if I can become friends with him. Both B stars are retreating moving lines (not good), they produce the self line (good) which is an advancing moving line. The confusion is that the self line is produced by the B stars and is advancing, but the B stars are retreating moving lines which seems like a solid no to me. Any thoughts?

Birding - A Bird Bath to Remember
What a Dirty Bird - How Birds Keep Themselves Clean With a Dirt Bath
Some animals lick themselves clean, like cats, bats and ants. Some scratch, bite and shake themselves to remove dirt, like members of the dog family. Some stretch out in the sun. Others bathe in water. Some birds allow ants to run through their feathers. There are a surprising number of creatures that take dirt baths, including rabbits, squirrels and birds.
There are many birds who bathe in the dust to clean themselves. Some of them include quail, robins, chickens, pheasants, house sparrows, turkeys and woodpeckers. The "dirty birds" find a sandy or dusty surface like a dried up mud puddle. If a depression in the earth is not readily available, they make one. Then the birds lean down and throw the dirt over their backs with their wings and shake vigorously. They fluff their feathers and the dirt or dust settles in their feathers and on their skin. It clogs the pores of the nasty parasites like lice and mites and other biting insects, and they fall off. It also soaks up excess oils and rids the birds of them.
After this cleansing bath ritual, the birds must preen themselves. They remove offending bugs that have refused to leave, repair damaged feathers and draw oil throughout their skin and feathers. Nice and shiny clean again until next time. A bird bath to remember!
It is quite a comical sight to watch birds and other animals in a dust bath. I watched a bunny do that very thing just a week ago. He ambled to a dirty spot at the foot of our gravel driveway where rainwater collects (when we get any). He plopped down and rolled back and forth on his back. After standing and shaking, he repeated the effort. Another go at it and he was done.
It is amazing the ways nature has provided ways for creatures to keep themselves clean. Look out for the "dirty birds" and other animals to see which way they choose!
Have you ever seen a bird take a "dirt bath?"
More Hubs About Birds
watching birds is such a treat! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Seeker7! Birds are entertaining no matter what they do.
Hi, fascinating hub and very informative. I have seen birds doing this but I didn't realise they were actually trying to bath. I love watching them from my window bathing in water, now I can enjoy them having a dirt bath as well, now that I know what they are doing. Voted up + awesome.
Hi Esmeowl, I didn't realise birds liked a dust bath, that probably explains why they don't mind if the bird bath water has got really dirty!! interesting hub thank you and voted up.
I saw a sparrow doing this recently and I figured it was a cleansing ritual, but I couldn't make sense of it. Thanks for the information! Voted up!
I have seen them do this but didn't realize what they were doing. I do have a water bird bath and even when the water is a bit dirty the birds still take to it. I feel guilty then that I haven't filled it with clean water for them. Interesting hub.
Horses too! If they can roll ALL the way over, they're really good ones.;)(Not sure if that applies to birds as well.) Loved the hub!
Wow, this was very interesting. I had no idea that some birds and animals clean themselves with dirt! At my house our gutters are clogged and so they are full with water. There are always birds bathing themselves and they make quite a raucous and splash down water on unsuspecting people! Great article! Voted Up and Useful.
I didn't know what I was seeing but now I do...those dusty birds were taking a bath! Amazing.

News piece on 'Climber magazine's' website
5th Dec 2014
Check out Climber's website for info and articles. They've just put up a piece about my recent trip to Spain...
To view, click here.
Also, they havereported the very sad news about the passing of top German climber, Marietta Uhden. When I started out doing the International Competitions, she was one of the top competitors and was very inspirational. I think she may even have been the first woman to climb f8c. If not THE first, certainly one of the first in the world.
Very sad to lose her at the age of 46...

Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Screenplay by: Tony Kushner
Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis
Sally Field
David Strathairn
James Spader
Hal Holbrook
Tommy Lee Jones
Running time : 150 minutes
Based on the book by Doris Kearns Goodwin, 'Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln'.
Time Magazine devoted a cover to Daniel Day Lewis' craggy profile as Lincoln. Critics have written hundreds of words of praise for every aspect of the film. At the time of writing this article, nominations for every award imaginable have been received. So all that remained after digesting this panegyric was a personal assessment. And quite simply, in Back Chat's opinion, this is a film at which to wonder. Wonder at the mastery of Daniel Day Lewis' portrayal of Lincoln. Wonder at the superb performances of supporting actors and wonder at cinematography and screenplay that are beautifully and miraculously wedded.
Come to the movies with us !
I would love to know your reactions to this cinematic experience. Do let me know. You may like to leave a comment on Back Chat or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com . I look forward to hearing from you.
The film opens with brutal scenes of battle and muddy hand to hand combat. The American Civil War which raged from 1861 to 1865 is nearing an end. This war, the bloodiest in American history, was fought between the "Union" or the 'North' and several Southern states that formed the 'Confederacy' or the 'South'. The central issue of the war was slavery, much favoured by the South. In their opinion a whole way of life was at risk.
From there flows the story of mid-19th century America. America is not yet a big, shiny place. The atmosphere of a smaller, simpler world is enhanced by remarkable cinematography that colours a palette a brown chiaroscuro, almost sepia at times. Abraham Lincoln is being cruelly tested. He is struggling to have the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution passed into law which would formally abolish slavery in the country. This would ratify his Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.
He expects the war to end within the month. Yet, as deeply as he is affected by the bloodletting, he is horrified at the thought that the war might end before the 13th Amendment is passed and slavery abolished. Lincoln had just won re-election. His Republican Party has a majority in the Congress, but is not yet seated. Certain radical Republicans wish to delay the passing of the Amendment. They fear that the Amendment would not be passed until they are seated and have garnered the necessary two thirds majority.
Lincoln needs the support of the Republic Party founder Francis Preston Blair. The influence of Blair, the eminence grise of the Republican Party, would ensure the support of the conservative Republican faction in backing the Amendment. However, Blair, played by Hal Holbrook, favours an urgent meeting between the Union and the Confederacy to arrange a peace. He sees this as the more pressing issue. But leader of the Radical Republicans and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Thaddeus Stevens , played with brooding intensity by Tommy Lee Jones, viciously opposes such a step, fearing that the emancipation process would be high-jacked. Stevens, an ardent abolitionist, has a fascinating secret that is only revealed to us at the end of the film.
Lincoln instructs his Secretary of State and wartime aide, William Seward, played by David Strathairn, to go about securing the necessary Democratic votes required to pass the Amendment. He and three colourful characters, played by James Spader, Tim Blake Nelson and John Hawkes, approach soon to be out of work Democrats and offer them federal jobs in return for their votes for the Amendment. Yup, politics as usual!
The debates on the floor of the House are savage. Words are wielded like weapons of war and one watches in fascination as civilized men reduce the venerable House into another bloody battlefield. All the while the tension is building as the day of the vote draws nearer.
Daniel Day-Lewis' Lincoln has a reedy voice. This has been much discussed as no recordings of Lincoln's voice exist. Day-Lewis arrived at the conclusion that his voice should have this high, tinny quality from the material he researched in preparation for the part. His gentle folksy delivery using the idioms of the day to highlight his points of argument is in strong contrast to the loud huff and puff of his opponents. But he is ruthlessly clear thinking and while he listens almost angelically to long tirades against himself and his policies, he remains in control. The vote in the House is a masterpiece of suspense and as suspenseful as any modern political thriller.
Other strands of Lincoln's life are woven into the tapestry of the film. His wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, portrayed so beautifully by Sally Field, is a complex and melancholy woman. Ten years his junior, she blames Lincoln for the death of their eldest son Willie on the battlefield. She is terrified that he will send the next eldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, to a similar fate. The tension between them is sometimes raw and hurtful, but she remains a faithful supporter and is often seen in the visitors' gallery in the House. While Lincoln has a loving indulgent relationship with his youngest son, Tad, his interaction with his elder son, Robert, is troubled. Robert is furious that his parents will not allow him to go and fight.
After the passing of the Amendment, the film moves forward two months showing Lincoln's visit to Petersburg, Virginia, where he speaks briefly to General Grant. Grant then receives General Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. On to the night of the 14th April 1865, Lincoln is seen in a late night meeting with his cabinet discussing the enfranchisement of blacks. He is reminded that Mrs Lincoln is waiting to take them to their evening at Ford's Theatre. Oh, how we would love to be able to warn him not to go!
The film ends with a flashback to Lincoln delivering his Second Inaugural Address.
Steven Spielberg's direction of the film is masterful. He and the screenwriter, Tony Kushner, have brilliantly interwoven the essence of the man with the brilliance of his words.
Extract from the Gettysburg Address 19th November 1863:
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal........................and that the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.".

Hi! My name is Ashley Horton and I live in the Southern US with my husband and three children. I have been scrapbooking since 2006, and I am a traditional scrapbooker, who likes to try new trends and products. Most of my layouts focus on everyday photos and the antics of our children. I would say I have an eclectic style, because I like to try new looks and designs on my layouts. Over the years, I have been very fortunate to be published in several crafting magazines and I currently serve on Design Teams for American Crafts, Echo Park, Hip Kit Club, Creative Scrappers and Get It Scrapped. I spend most of my free time planning or working on layouts and projects, but I also enjoy cooking, reading, watching movies and spending time with my family.
Slushie Love: I love mixing product, and for this layout, I mixed the Pinkfresh products with several items from other collections. The variety of colors on the Pinkfresh embellishments and Washi Tapes, can easily be blended in with the collections you already have in your stash. I used some of the Ocean & Gold Foil Alphas over a card from Elle's Studio to create my title, and also embellished the card with some of the fun Wood Veneer Color block Navajo Arrows. And the cute Wood Veneer Color block Hearts were a perfect accent to the heart card on the right hand side of my photo. I also added a touch of sparkle to my layout with the Glitter Washi Tape.
Love These Moments: When I decided on a title for this layout, I knew I wanted it to be prominent on my page. The Mint & Gold foil alphas were perfect for creating a large, bold title. I arranged the alphas beside my photo, and once they were adhered, I stitched through each of the words with Black embroidery floss, for a little extra emphasis. And I can't resist embellishing, so I added the Ombre Airmail Peach & Mint Washi Tape, with several of the Color block Veneers. The Fresh Drops Insta Frame was also perfect for adding emphasis to the photo on my layout.
Love Note: It's always fun to use negative shapes on your projects! I used my Cameo to cut a heart front for my card, and then adhered the Pink & Mint Ombre Washi Tape to a piece of cardstock and placed it behind the negative cut hearts. I love the multi-colored effect it creates on the front of the card. I used the Blush & Gold Foil Alphas for the sentiment on my card, and added the adorable Wood Veneer Color block Envelopes and Wood Veneer Color block Arrows.
Hope you feel inspired by these beautiful creations done by Ashely.

Wrongfully convicted man free after 27 years
A man who spent 27 years behind bars for a murder he did not commit can finally call himself a free man.
Valentino Dixon's three convictions were vacated by an Erie County Court Judge Wednesday morning. One conviction still stands. Dixon is guilty of criminal possession of a weapon, for which the sentence is 15 years. Dixon has served 27 years.
Dixon was convicted for the murder of 17 year-old Torriano Jackson and shooting and injuring Jackson's brother Aaron Jackson and a bystander named John Sullivan. The shooting happened on East Delevan and Bailey Avenue on August 10th, 1991.
Another man has confessed to Torriano's murder to hours after the shooting, to friends, family and during documentary interviews for years. LaMarr Scott pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, first-degree assault and third-degree assault charges in front of an Erie County Judge. He waived his right to an indictment, a trial and an appeal. He also confirmed his plea comes outside of the statue of limitations.
Scott told the judge during his confession, "I pulled the trigger and all the bullets came out…I intended to shoot him." Torriano was shot 27 times in August of 1991.
In 1991, Dixon was convicted on the testimony of three witnesses and no physical evidence. He was sentenced to 33 1/3 years in prison.
Over the past three months, the Erie County District Attorney's office has conducted a thorough investigation and interviewed 30 different witnesses in order to vacate Dixon's convictions.
Lamar Scott will be sentenced in October to 8 1/3 years to 25 years. He will serve this coming sentence concurrently with the sentence he's already serving for an unrelated attempted murder charge.
Erie County District Attorney John Flynn says while he's glad Dixon is being released for a murder he did not commit, Dixon is still not innocent. "We wouldn't be here today if he had told the truth when this all started," says Flynn. Dixon provided the gun to Scott that was used to kill Torriano Jackson and injure two others. "Dixon and Scott will be released from prison someday and one person that won't be released from the grave is Torriano Jackson," says Flynn.

How to make your own leaf mould
22 October 2014 | Posted in Gardening by The Unwins Family
Make leaf mould
Leaf mould is easy to make and there are several methods, which method you choose largely depends on how big your garden is and how many trees overhang it.
- The easiest way to get small quantities of leaf mould is to rake up the leaves and pack them into black plastic bags.
- Puncture a few holes in the bags and damp down the leaves with a hose or watering can before tying the bags loosely and stashing them somewhere out of sight. Behind a shed or garage is ideal.
Most leaves take around 12 months to rot down so by next autumn you'll have a supply of ready made leaf mould to use for mulching, or to bulk up soil and compost.
Make a leaf bin
If you have a lot of leaves to dispose of consider making a special leaf mould bin. This works on a similar principle to compost bins but it is very simple to make one yourself with wire-netting and posts.
- Hammer four posts into the ground to cover the area where you want the bin to be.
- Cut a piece of chicken wire long enough to go around all four posts and attach the chicken wire firmly to three sides. Don't cut the wire.
- Use the final quarter to form a closeable door. Keep it rigid by threading a stout bamboo cane through the vertical edge; or attach a batten, this will make it easy to fill (and empty) the bin with a wheelbarrow.

Brow Lift Surgery – Denver, CO
As we age, our brow lines can begin to droop and sag, lowering your self confidence. A brow lift, also called forehead lift, can restore your self-confidence providing you with a wrinkle free, refreshed, youthful appearance. Located in Denver, Dr. Thomas A. Narsete has become the go to plastic surgeon for brow lift surgery.
What is Brow Lift Surgery?
As we age our faces change from the top to the bottom. Our eyebrows are often the first structure to sag. A brow lift changes the position of your brows into a more natural location, And rejuvenates the entire upper third of your face. You can combine a facelift with a browlift at the same time.
A brow lift surgery is performed to smooth out the wrinkles and fine lines present on the forehead. It is also used for candidates who have a sagging forehead or brows too close to the eyes. In addition to wrinkles, a brow lift can also correct frown lines, giving you a softer, more youthful look. You may also consider a brow lift surgery if you have sagging brows or have deep vertical creases between the eyebrows.
Who is a good candidate for a Brow Lift
A brow lift, or forehead lift, usually are performed on candidates between the ages of 40 and 60 years old, but can be considered for people of all ages. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Frown lines and forehead wrinkles
- Bunched or furrowed skin over your nose
- Sagging brows above your upper eyelid
- Low-hanging eyebrows
- Eyebrow abnormality, including asymmetrical eyebrows
Brow Lifts or Forehead lifts are often performed in conjunction with a facelift and other procedures, including eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty. A forehead lift sometimes presents a more desirable option rather than undergoing eyelid surgery. A free consultation is highly recommended if you are considering a brow lift (forehead lift).
Before your Brow Lift
You will start with a professional consultation with Denver facial plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Narsete. His consults are a courtesy, and you will love the experience. He will go through a thorough exam and review your photos and explain all the options with you. At the end of the consult, you will know exactly which procedure works for you.
Types of Anesthesia
Dr. Narsete will discuss the type of anesthesia used for this procedure during your consultation and will depend on factors, such as your medical status and your comfort level. A local anesthesia may be used, which will numb the area but leave you awake during the procedure. A general anesthesia may also be considered, which would allow you to sleep comfortably throughout the surgery.
The Brow Lift Procedure
During your consultation, Dr. Narsete will discuss which method of brow lift surgery is right for you. The following descriptions will give you a better idea of what you can expect from each procedure.
- Classic Forehead Lift or Coronal Lift: Most patients choose a procedure where the entire forehead is lifted with a more permanent result. This can be done with a coronal brow lift approach. The advantage is that your frown muscles can be removed at the same time. In this procedure, an incision will be made at ear level and extend around the top of the forehead along the hairline toward the other ear. Scarring is very minimal as the incision is hidden by the hairline making the scar nearly invisible to the naked eye. With the incision, the forehead skin will be lifted. Excess skin will be removed, allowing your eyebrows to also be potentially lifted. What Dr. Narsete can provide is a more natural look and have your eyebrows position like a portrait drawing. The result is a younger, smoother look that will bring a more relaxed and refreshed appearance to your face.
- Minilift: For some patients, a modest improvement can be made through an upper eyelid surgery incision, or at the eyebrow hair line. The scars are easy to hide, and your brow can be suspended into a natural position. Once these incisions are healed, scarring will be minimal if any, and you will enjoy a more youthful, smooth appearance along your brow.
What is the cost of a Brow Lift?
A brow lift is considered to be elective, so most insurance providers will not cover the costs. To help make brow lift surgery affordable and accessible for everyone, Dr. Narete offers financing options which can be discussed during your consultation. For your convenience, Dr. Narsete accepts cash and all major credit cards. Financing options via LendingUSA is also available.
Are you ready to schedule your FREE consult?
If you are bothered by the signs of aging in the brow region, a brow lift may be right for you. However, it is important that you choose a surgeon who has the expertise and artistic insight required to deliver the desired results. Dr. Narsete is one of those very few surgeons who have performed over a thousand facial rejuvenation procedures in Denver.

Brent Thunstrom
President, Father, and Volleyball Player
My name is Brent Thunstrom, and I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. Just after high school, I served a two-year mission for my church in Milan, Italy. Although my Italian is not what it used to be, I am still fluent in Italian.
I met my soul mate, Tiffani, during the summer of 2001. After countless hours on the beach playing sand volleyball, we were married a short six months later. We have four beautiful children – Kalia, Miley, Crew, and Gia. Our favorite family pastimes are boating on the lake and vacationing at any destination that is tropical. Our weekday nights and weekends are often filled with chasing the kids around soccer fields, volleyball courts, and social events.
My favorite movie of all time is Top Gun. In my free time (is there such a thing?), I find myself drawn to literature with self-help and personal improvement themes.
My father-in-law introduced me to the insurance industry in 2002. After 15 years, I still enjoy selling insurance and trying to be the best resource to my clients that I can be.

The AP:
SEN. BEN NELSON, D-NEB., who provided the critical 60th vote that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid needed, received numerous benefits for Nebraska, along with tighter curbs on abortion. Among the Nebraska-specific provisions:
_The federal government will pick up the full cost of a proposed expansion of Medicaid, at an estimated cost of $100 million over 10 years.
_Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska will be exempted from an annual fee on insurers; the exemption could also apply to nonprofit insurers in other states, possibly including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
_Supplemental "Medigap" policies such as those sold by Mutual of Omaha are exempted from the annual fee on insurers, something that would help other companies selling such policies.
_A physician-owned hospital being built in Bellevue, Neb., could get referrals from doctors who own it, avoiding a new ban in the Senate bill that will apply to hospitals built in the future. Without mentioning Nebraska or other states by name, the Senate bill pushes back some legal deadlines by several months, in effect making a few hospitals near completion eligible to continue receiving referrals from the doctors who own them.
Financial Times
Mr Nelson wanted tougher restrictions on abortion funding in the bill, but after days of wrangling, agreed to support the bill in return for the federal government permanently funding Nebraska's bill for Medicaid, the insurance plan for the poor, worth about $45m in its first 10 years.
Mary Landrieu of Louisiana also won about $300m in support for Medicaid for her state, and Vermont and Massachusetts will also receive additional funding.
Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont and the most liberal of senators, obtained $10bn for community health centres after failing to get a government-backed public health insurance scheme in the bill.
Dana Milbanks at the Washington Post
First there was the "Louisiana Purchase," $100 million in extra Medicaid money for the Bayou State, requested by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.).
Then came the "Cornhusker Kickback," another $100 million in extra Medicaid money, this time for Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.).
This was followed by word that Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) had written into the legislation $100 million meant for a medical center in his state. This one was quickly dubbed the "U Con."
Earlier, when GOP staff member mistakenly thought the medical center was destined for Indiana rather than Connecticut, they named it the "Bayh Off" for Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.).
For Democratic leaders, this created an appearance problem. Fortunately, they had removed from the bill the tax on cosmetic procedures (the "Botax") and replaced it with a tax on tanning (which would primarily impact House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio).
Gator Aid: Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) inserted a grandfather clause that would allow Floridians to preserve their pricey Medicare Advantage program.
Handout Montana: Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) secured Medicare coverage for anybody exposed to asbestos -- as long as they worked in a mine in Libby, Mont.
and on and on...
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Wall Street Journal
For Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and President Obama to not recognize that Americans are watching and Americans are furious, is political suicide.
I do not understand why one of these three do not have the common sense to stand up and say "stop, let's do this right", is just staggering.
