That was the question not only about Mary Magdalene, but about women generally. It should be no surprise, given how successfully the excluding dominance of males established itself in the church of the "Fathers," that the Gospel of Mary was one of the texts shunted aside in the fourth century. As that text shows, the early image of this Mary as a trusted apostle of Jesus, reflected even in the canonical Gospel texts, proved to be a major obstacle to establishing that male dominance, which is why, whatever other "heretical" problems this gospel posed, that image had to be recast as one of subservience.
Simultaneously, the emphasis on sexuality as the root of all evil served to subordinate all women. The ancient Roman world was rife with flesh-hating spiritualities—Stoicism, Manichaeism, Neoplatonism—and they influenced Christian thinking just as it was jelling into "doctrine." Thus the need to disempower the figure of Mary Magdalene, so that her succeeding sisters in the church would not compete with men for power, meshed with the impulse to discredit women generally. This was most efficiently done by reducing them to their sexuality, even as sexuality itself was reduced to the realm of temptation, the source of human unworthiness. All of this—from the sexualizing of Mary Magdalene, to the emphatic veneration of the virginity of Mary, the mother of Jesus, to the embrace of celibacy as a clerical ideal, to the marginalizing of female devotion, to the recasting of piety as self-denial, particularly through penitential cults—came to a kind of defining climax at the end of the sixth century. It was then that all the philosophical, theological and ecclesiastical impulses curved back to Scripture, seeking an ultimate imprimatur for what by then was a firm cultural prejudice. It was then that the rails along which the church—and the Western imagination—would run were set.
Pope Gregory I (c. 540-604) was born an aristocrat and served as the prefect of the city of Rome. After his father's death, he gave everything away and turned his palatial Roman home into a monastery, where he became a lowly monk. It was a time of plague, and indeed the previous pope, Pelagius II, had died of it. When the saintly Gregory was elected to succeed him, he at once emphasized penitential forms of worship as a way of warding off the disease. His pontificate marked a solidifying of discipline and thought, a time of reform and invention both. But it all occurred against the backdrop of the plague, a doom-laden circumstance in which the abjectly repentant Mary Magdalene, warding off the spiritual plague of damnation, could come into her own. With Gregory's help, she did.
Known as Gregory the Great, he remains one of the most influential figures ever to serve as pope, and in a famous series of sermons on Mary Magdalene, given in Rome in about the year 591, he put the seal on what until then had been a common but unsanctioned reading of her story. With that, Mary's conflicted image was, in the words of Susan Haskins, author of Mary Magdalene: Myth and Metaphor, "finally settled...for nearly fourteen hundred years."
It all went back to those Gospel texts. Cutting through the exegetes' careful distinctions—the various Marys, the sinful women—that had made a bald combining of the figures difficult to sustain, Gregory, standing on his own authority, offered his decoding of the relevant Gospel texts. He established the context within which their meaning was measured from then on:
She whom Luke calls the sinful woman, whom John calls Mary, we believe to be the Mary from whom seven devils were ejected according to Mark. And what did these seven devils signify, if not all the vices?
There it was—the woman of the "alabaster jar" named by the pope himself as Mary of Magdala. He defined her:
It is clear, brothers, that the woman previously used the unguent to perfume her flesh in forbidden acts. What she therefore displayed more scandalously, she was now offering to God in a more praiseworthy manner. She had coveted with earthly eyes, but now through penitence these are consumed with tears. She displayed her hair to set off her face, but now her hair dries her tears. She had spoken proud things with her mouth, but in kissing the Lord's feet, she now planted her mouth on the Redeemer's feet. For every delight, therefore, she had had in herself, she now immolated herself. She turned the mass of her crimes to virtues, in order to serve God entirely in penance.
The address "brothers" is the clue. Through the Middle Ages and the Counter-Reformation, into the modern period and against the Enlightenment, monks and priests would read Gregory's words, and through them they would read the Gospels' texts themselves. Chivalrous knights, nuns establishing houses for unwed mothers, courtly lovers, desperate sinners, frustrated celibates and an endless succession of preachers would treat Gregory's reading as literally the gospel truth. Holy Writ, having recast what had actually taken place in the lifetime of Jesus, was itself recast.
The men of the church who benefited from the recasting, forever spared the presence of females in their sanctuaries, would not know that this was what had happened. Having created a myth, they would not remember that it was mythical. Their Mary Magdalene—no fiction, no composite, no betrayal of a once venerated woman—became the only Mary Magdalene that had ever existed.
This obliteration of the textual distinctions served to evoke an ideal of virtue that drew its heat from being a celibate's vision, conjured for celibates. Gregory the Great's overly particular interest in the fallen woman's past—what that oil had been used for, how that hair had been displayed, that mouth—brought into the center of church piety a vaguely prurient energy that would thrive under the licensing sponsorship of one of the church's most revered reforming popes. Eventually, Magdalene, as a denuded object of Renaissance and Baroque painterly preoccupation, became a figure of nothing less than holy pornography, guaranteeing the ever-lustful harlot—if lustful now for the ecstasy of holiness—a permanent place in the Catholic imagination.
Thus Mary of Magdala, who began as a powerful woman at Jesus' side, "became," in Haskins' summary, "the redeemed whore and Christianity's model of repentance, a manageable, controllable figure, and effective weapon and instrument of propaganda against her own sex." There were reasons of narrative form for which this happened. There was a harnessing of sexual restlessness to this image. There was the humane appeal of a story that emphasized the possibility of forgiveness and redemption. But what most drove the anti-sexual sexualizing of Mary Magdalene was the male need to dominate women. In the Catholic Church, as elsewhere, that need is still being met.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Reporter
The Green River Pirates completed a stellar season with a victory in the region golf tournament last week in Roosevelt. The Pirates, undefeated for the season, shot a 344 to defeat second place Rich High by four strokes. Green River's next challenge will be this weeks state meet held in Tooele today and tomorrow as they look to dethrone the defending champion team from Waterford.
In addition to Green River and Rich, Duchesne shot a 377 and Manila a 385 to also qualify for the tournament. Whitehorse, Uintah River, Tabiona and Altamont each posted a score higher than 400 and did not qualify.
Medalist of the region tourney was Jason Luke who shot a 76 to take honors. Mitch Bowman shot an 85 for fourth place, Gabrin Ekker shot an 88, Jerome Burns shot a 95 and CJ Vetere shot a 102. Jason was 1-under until he pressed his luck on the 17th hole and finished with a triple bogey to mess up his score.
In the three previous golf tournaments, the Pirates shot a 320 at the same Roosevelt golf course to win as Jason shot a 74 and Bowman an 80. The week before they played the Tooele course and won with a 342.
Bowman was the medalist this day with a 78 and Luke shot an 82. On April 10, they were again at Roosevelt and shot a 345.
For the season, Luke was the region medalist, Mitchell was second and Ekker was fifth.
The state tournament is a 36-hole event with the top seven teams playing the second day. Individuals within 10 strokes of the leader also earn the right to play. The golf team is coached by Blaine Luke.
Good luck Pirates!!!

Eastman Kodak Company (Kodak) is committed to providing a work environment that is free from unlawful discrimination and harassment in any form. It is Kodak's policy to comply with all applicable laws that provide equal opportunity in employment for all persons and to prohibit unlawful discrimination in employment. Kodak's policy is not to discriminate by reason of race, color, religion, sex/gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, genetic information, citizenship status, national origin, age, disability or veteran status. In addition, in each country in which it operates, Kodak will comply with all applicable laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on any other factor.
Kodak will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship. Persons with disabilities who are in need of accommodation are encouraged to discuss their needs with their Manager, Human Resources, or Kodak Medical Services.
This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including, but not limited to, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.
Policy Against Unlawful Discrimination/Harassment and Other Inappropriate or Unprofessional Conduct
Kodak insists that all individuals be treated with respect and dignity. Each individual should be able to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes teamwork and attainment of Kodak's goals. Improper interference with the ability of Kodak's employees to perform their expected job duties is unacceptable and unprofessional. Kodak expressly prohibits any form of unlawful discrimination, unlawful harassment, and any other inappropriate or unprofessional conduct and will not tolerate, condone, or allow such conduct by fellow employees, supervisors, managers, customers, vendors, contractors, visitors, or others who conduct Kodak business. Kodak's "work environment" extends to all Kodak facilities and any setting outside the workplace where individuals who work with or for Kodak are gathered, such as business trips, customer-site visits, conferences, and social events.
The purpose of this policy statement on sexual harassment is to establish clearly and unequivocally that Kodak prohibits sexual harassment by and of its employees. No employee, either male or female, should be subjected to unsolicited or unwelcome sexual advances or conduct either verbal or physical.
"Sexual harassment" has been defined by government agencies and the courts as conduct which includes all unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and all other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
Sexual harassment may take many forms, including, but not limited to: verbal teasing or abuse of a sexual nature; inquiries about sexual activities, sexual orientation and gender identity; subtle pressure or abuse of a sexual nature; inappropriate, unwelcome and unnecessary touching of an individual, for example, grabbing, patting, pinching, hugging, repeatedly brushing against another employee's body or impeding the movement of another person; offensive sexual flirtation, advances, or propositioning, including suggestive looks or gestures; sexually graphic verbal commentaries or jokes made in any medium; sexually degrading words used to describe an individual; or the offensive display in the workplace of sexual or pornographic objects, pictures or writings.
The purpose of this policy statement on racial/ethnic discrimination and harassment is to establish clearly and unequivocally that Kodak prohibits racial and ethnic discrimination, including racial/ethnic harassment, by and of its employees. No employee, regardless of race or ethnicity, should be subjected to racially or ethnically offensive, hostile, or intimidating conduct either verbal or physical.
Conduct with racial or ethnic content or overtones, which is severe, pervasive or persistent, may be considered racial/ethnic harassment. Racial/ethnic harassment may take many forms, including, but not limited to: menacing behavior, words, or symbols directed at persons of a particular race or ethnicity; displaying, distributing or otherwise communicating anything offensive in any medium which focuses on race or ethnicity; making critical or mocking comments about racial or ethnic characteristics, such as voice, accent, physical features, hair texture, or manner of dress; perpetuating or promoting racial/ethnic stereotypes, such as assumptions about likes and dislikes based on race or ethnicity; assigning persons to an isolated or separate work area based on their race or ethnicity; basing overtime assignments on race or ethnicity.
In addition to sexual, racial, and ethnic harassment, Kodak recognizes that other forms of unlawful harassment exist. Such unlawful harassment may target persons because of their color, religion, sexual orientation, gender, marital status, pregnancy, genetic information, citizenship status, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or other factors. Kodak will not tolerate such conduct.
Kodak also prohibits conduct by or toward any employees, coworkers, supervisors, managers, customers, vendors, contractors, visitors, or others who conduct business with Kodak that is inappropriate in a work environment or is considered unprofessional. Such conduct includes behaviors that improperly interfere with the ability of Kodak's employees to perform their expected job duties.
Each employee of Kodak is responsible for maintaining a work atmosphere free of discrimination and harassment, sexual or otherwise. Further, employees of Kodak are responsible for respecting the rights of their coworkers. It is Kodak's policy to thoroughly investigate and remedy any known incidence of unlawful discrimination or harassment. Kodak is equally committed to respond to complaints of inappropriate or unprofessional behavior. In order to accomplish this policy, unlawful discrimination or harassment, as well as any other inappropriate or unprofessional behavior by or toward any Kodak employee, supervisor, manager, customer, vendor, contractor, visitor, or other person, must be brought to the attention of Kodak Management and/or Human Resources.
Accordingly, if you experience any harassment based on your gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or other Protected Classification, believe you have been treated in an unlawful, discriminatory manner, or are subjected to inappropriate or unprofessional behavior, do not ignore it. Although Kodak encourages you to express your concerns directly to the offending person, if, in your judgment, informal, direct communications between individuals is ineffective or impossible, you should immediately communicate your problem to Management or Human Resources. To do so, promptly report the incident to your Manager or another management employee (ideally within 48 hours of the occurrence), who will investigate the matter and take appropriate action.
If you believe it would be inappropriate to discuss the matter with your Manager, you may report it directly to higher-level management in your organization, or to Human Resources. The person, to whom you report the conduct, will promptly cause an investigation to be undertaken. Kodak will endeavor to protect the privacy of both the complainant and the accused and to keep the investigation confidential to the extent practical and appropriate under the circumstances.
Kodak prohibits any form of retaliation against any employee for making a bona fide complaint under this policy or for assisting in a complaint investigation. Retaliation of any kind will be considered a violation of this policy.
If unlawful discrimination, harassment, inappropriate or unprofessional conduct is found to have occurred, appropriate remedial action will be taken. If a Kodak employee is found to have violated this policy, such employee will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination.
This policy applies in full force to all Kodak employees and all employees of wholly-owned subsidiaries, around the world, consistent with local laws and regulations. In addition, Kodak requires strict adherence to the relevant anti-discrimination laws for each country and labor agreements in force.
Discrimination and harassment are a violation of Kodak Corporate Policy, and if encountered or witnessed should be reported to one of Kodak's authorized personnel. If you have a violation to report, of if you feel that you have been discriminated against, you should contact your supervisor, or Human Resources.
Managers and supervisors have special responsibilities with respect to the policy against discrimination and harassment. They must understand the Company Policy prohibiting discrimination and harassment.
Generally, Kodak's anti-discrimination policy requires that employment decisions and actions are made without regard to a person's race, color, religion, sex/gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, genetic information, citizenship status, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. Examples of employment decisions include, but are not limited to, evaluating employees' performance; making recommendations on hires, transfers, development opportunities and promotions; recommending discipline, corrective action and termination.
Not only must managers and supervisors conduct themselves in a manner consistent with this policy, they are also responsible for establishing and maintaining a work environment free of unlawful harassment and unlawful discrimination. Managers and supervisors must educate employees on the policy. They must maintain open lines of communication, allowing employees to express their concerns without fear of retaliation. They must stop any form of harassment they observe. They must identify incidents of discrimination immediately and report them to Human Resources and their organization management. Managers and supervisors must ensure, with assistance from Human Resources and Security, that an investigation of allegations of discrimination or harassment is initiated immediately after they are reported. Based on the investigation, managers and supervisors must take appropriate and immediate action.
Employees have important responsibilities with respect to the policy against unlawful discrimination and harassment.
Kodak employees are responsible for knowing and understanding this policy and promoting a workplace free of unlawful discrimination and harassment by conducting themselves in a manner consistent with this policy. Employees also have a responsibility to report any unlawful discrimination or harassing conduct they are subjected to or they observe taking place toward another employee immediately to their supervisor, or Human Resources.
Human Resources has the same responsibilities as all other employees relative to compliance with company policy. In addition, they are responsible for conducting thorough investigations of the complaints that are brought forward by management. It is critical that HR involves Corporate Security immediately in those situations where either violator is unknown or it is otherwise appropriate to involve Corporate Security. The HR Manager should also notify his/her senior HR Director within twenty-four hours of all complaints of discrimination and harassment. Human Resources will assist in determining the proper mode of investigation and the appropriateness of involving other corporate resources such as Corporate Security. Maintaining appropriate confidentiality throughout investigations is critical.
It is also the responsibility of the HR Manager to provide appropriate coaching and support for all parties involved in harassment and discrimination situations. In cases where the client is not responsive to coaching relative to company procedure and policy, the HR Manager is obligated to elevate the situation in a timely way (48 hours) to an appropriate level in the HR and line organizations.
A more detailed set of expectations for HR and line management relative to harassment investigations is included in the Protocol/Process for Reporting EOE Incidents document.
Contractors, vendors and others who have a business relationship with Kodak are responsible for the rules of conduct expressed in the Policy while doing business at or on behalf of Kodak. This will require that all employees of Kodak suppliers are familiar with company policy. Failure to comply with Kodak policy could result in termination of future business.
Kodak employees are obligated to report to their supervisor any violation of policy by contractors and vendors. Kodak managers and supervisors are expected to engage their Purchasing representative in dealing with these situations.

Kind of a slow Canucks news day today, but I did what I could to find some links...
Over at the Legion of Blog, Cam Charron does what he does best: repudiates the utility of real-time stats in player evaluations. Cam's point is dead on here, of course, but still that pass that Edler sent through the middle of the ice against the Sharks that led directly to Pavelski's first goal of the evening, man that was brutal. [Legion of Blog]
On the same topic, Justine Galo breaks down Vancouver's breakdowns from Sunday over at CanucksCorner. [Canucks Corner]
Alex Burrows tells Ben Kuzma that he had tonight's game against the Los Angeles Kings circled on his calender when the schedule was released. I imagine he can't wait to make fun of Mike Richards. [The Province]
Another update from the realm of "forced rivalries", Drew Doughty seems pumped to "get after" the Canucks tonight. [Vancouver Sun]
Canucks Hockey Blog debuts a new week in preivew feature breaking down this week's upcoming Canucks games. [CHB]
Daniel Wagner captions some of Ryan Kesler's hilarious activities about town in the Canucks' "Kesler undercover" series. [Pass it to Bulis]
Hot sports take from Jim Morris in the Vancouver Courier on, what else, the seemingly never ending drama that is Vancouver's goaltending situation. [The Courier]
Some more links and pithy commentary on the other side of the jump.
The Vancouver Province has three takes on the Canucks' power-play struggles today. One from Ben Kuzma, one from Jim Jamieson and one by Jonathan MacDonald. Yes Vancouver went 0/7 against the Sharks on Sunday, but I'd remind everyone that the Canucks generated five scoring chances for with the man-advantage and hit three posts to boot. They're "16th in the league" in conversion rate which sounds bad, sure, except that they're still cashing in on twenty percent of opportunities! If one of those shots that ricocheted off the post on Sunday had deflected instead into San Jose's net, Vancouver's would basically be a top-10 power-play, because we're dealing with really really small samples, you guys! [The Province]
Battle of Cali's new LA Kings blogger has some mean things to say about the Canucks (but I still laughed). [Battle of Cali]
Finally, I found this on Nucksmisconduct.com where a friend of the artist Anselmo Swan chimed in to plug Anselmo's upcoming exhibition of Canucks player oil paintings that will be featured in the GO FIGURE exhibition at Gallery Jones in Vancouver. Here's the promo poster for the exhibition:

One of my side businesses is training staffs at haunted attractions (especially first year actors). This season I will be training actors at 2 haunts in the Carolinas and am working with a third. If you own a haunt within driving distance of Charlotte, I would be more than happy to talk to you.
My schedule is filling up fast (September is nearly full) so don't hesitate...
(And yes, I double posted this in the 'help wanted' section. If that was wrong, I apologize)

The pro's and con's of exposing your child to mainstream mobile devices.
Mobile devices have enhanced our lives in more ways than we can count. From our professional life to personal, everything is literally at our fingertips.
Does the same go for children?
Mobile devices like tablets and smart phones are used for education as well as entertainment. Some toy manufactures even make decorative cases aimed to appeal to toddlers as young as 12 months. The question is, should we limit the amount of media exposure our child receives?
"We're always concerned about the entertainment value," said Saidi Clemente, MD, director, Developmental/Behavioral Pediatrics. Children less than two should not be exposed to media at all. After age two, we recommend two hours a day."
"Though it goes without saying mobile devices will have –if not already- a role in traditional education and the earlier they learn these systems, the greater advantage they'll have in the future," Clemente said, stressing: "Everything in moderation."
Studies have shown mobile devices having therapeutic benefits in children with autism, seemingly making them more receptive and focused. Clemente explained how mobile devices can aid in teaching vocabulary, language, and academic skills; especially with children who have difficulties with conventional therapies like flashcards and paper aids.
It's a question of Social Development.
Dr. Clemente's main concern is what early exposure with these devices does to a child's interaction with people. "I was at a restaurant recently and I saw four young adults sitting at a table. All were using mobile devices. Not one spoke to the other," said Clemente.
Dr. Clemente said that that many popular educational videos on the market do more harm than good. "Kids get their stimulation from people, not TV and
media – it's detrimental to their focus," she said adding, "The stimulation you get from your parents is better than anything the media can offer."

Vogel's introduces new ceiling lift systems for projectors
Eindhoven, the Netherlands, June 2015
The new PPL ceiling lift systems are the perfect solution for integrating projectors into ceilings in board rooms, home cinemas, auditoriums and conference halls. Not only is the projector neatly hidden, it is also theft delaying.
The lifts run whisper quiet and offer two very easy and accurate adjustable positions: top and show. Having an adjustable top position has the advantage that the ceiling finishing kit can be perfectly aligned. The movement of the PPL lift systems is done by a very reliable motor that moves the lift with an accuracy of less than one millimeter.
The Vogel's PPL series comes in 4 lift systems with different maximum drop lengths and weight loads. Universal projector interfaces are available for projectors up to 35kg. All lifts have a contact relay for connecting automation systems such as Creston, AMX or a wall switch. Optional RF remote set (PPA 610) and wall switch (PPA 620) available

Research Topics
Professor Niederhoff's research interests focus on the role of individual level human bias in decision making. She uses methodology from experimental economics and behavioral game theory as well as psychology to measure personal preferences and group dynamics. She then measures how those factors influence individual and team performance in supply chain contexts such as contracting, manufacturing, and inventory control in order to better understand the human element of supply chain decision making.SSRN Page: http://ssrn.com/author=1910957

Christmas is almost here and I can hardly wait. The suspense is killing me actually. Not for what Santa might be bringing me, but on any of the multitude of tactics that my children might employ between now and then to get me to let them open one (just one, we promise) present before Christmas.
It is a tradition that I thought might fade away as my kids got older, but no, it has apparently ingrained itself so deeply into our household that it will forever be a part of our lives. I'm speaking, of course, of the annual "Please Let Us Open One Present Before Christmas Whine" as it has come to be affectionately called. It starts approximately three minutes after I place the first present under the tree and ends only on Christmas morning.
But it is a tradition, however grating it may be to my nerves, so I guess I'm in no real hurry to see it come to an end. Because we all need traditions, even strange ones. My children even won a small victory in this tradition because I now allow them to open one present on Christmas Eve, if for no other reason than because it gives them something to do so I can enjoy one day of the Christmas season without having that pleading whine in my ears.
Another tradition in my home is my annual vow to learn how to wrap a present so that it actually looks like a present and not some mangled, brightly colored mistake. This is a tradition I started years ago before my children were even born and it continues to this day. Because I have not mastered this skill. I'm actually beginning to believe that it is a skill beyond the ability of the normal man. You can take a present wrapped by a normal, healthy man and take a present wrapped by a normal, healthy woman and place them side by side and I predict that 99 times out of a 100 you could pick which present the man wrapped in just under 2.3 seconds. But, as I said, traditions are good so I make the same vow every year.
The Christmas dinner is a tradition that continues in our household, although since I became a single parent the question for my children is not what are we having for Christmas dinner, but is Christmas dinner absolutely necessary and if it is can we eat it at Grandma's? My cooking skills have improved over the years to the point where I am no longer fearful that one of my meals might result in a visit to the emergency room, but with few exceptions it is not the most pleasant of experiences.
By far my most favorite Christmas tradition is in asking my dad what he wants for Christmas. It's my favorite because my dad asks for (no, insists on) the same thing every year. Socks. Whenever any of his kids ask him what he might want for Christmas he always says socks. Not a package of socks, just a pair of socks. "Just get me a pair of socks. Shouldn't cost you more than a couple of dollars." Well none of us were going to get our dad just a pair of socks so we invariably got him something else, to which he would object saying we had spent too much money. Last year several of us kids did just what he asked and bought him a pair of socks and another present we thought he might like, thinking that maybe, just maybe, he does want a pair of socks. He seemed well pleased but I don't think he actually ever wore any of our socks.
Before you get to thinking that all of the traditions in my household are a little on the strange side I will tell you that we also traditionally sit down and talk about what Christmas really is, beneath the commercial hype, Santa Claus and badly wrapped presents. We try to remember what Christmas is and what it means. Sometimes we even succeed.
This year we have started a new tradition which my children have become quite excited about. When we go out to do our shopping for Christmas dinner we have decided that we will buy two of everything. One meal we will take home to prepare and the other we will give to somone in need. Part of me believes that my children are excited about this new tradition because they are filled with the spirit of the season.
Another part of me believes that they are excited because they know that somebody else will be having the same meal as them on Christmas day...with one major exception: It won't be cooked by me. Which is a good tradition indeed.

Ulster set up a Heineken Cup semi-final date with Edinburgh after beating Munster 22-16 at Thomond Park in Limerick on Sunday.
Ulster progressed to a Heineken Cup semi-final date with Edinburgh at Aviva Stadium after beating Munster 22-16 at Thomond Park on Sunday.
After racing into a 19-0 lead thanks to a bright start, Ulster were made to sweat in the second-half but ultimately held on for a return to the city where they won their only European title in 1999.
Ian Humphreys endured a nightmare opening as three early tactical kicks from hand were decidedly shaky. Luckily for Ulster though, Ruan Pienaar was having no such trouble from distance off the tee with penalties on five and eleven minutes pushing the visitors into a 6-0 advantage.
Things were about to get a whole lot better for Brian McLaughlin's side too as a virtuoso try from Craig Gilroy saw the left wing bust three tackles before dotting down ten metres to the side of the uprights. It was a score that had an American Football feel to it as Gilroy opted not to use his support runners, who ended up in front of him in the act of scoring. Munster were shell-shocked and looking in real danger of having no way back.
Ulster had won their previous meeting this term with a bonus-point against a weakened Munster side but with all of their Ireland internationals unavailable for that RaboDirect PRO12 clash, it was expected to be a closer game despite Munster entering off a loss.
The 16th man were desperate for something to cling to going into half-time and when a concerted period of pressure was applied on the Ulster line, it looked like they would finally trouble the scorers. But gritty and intelligent defence thwarted the hosts and it was in fact they who would be next on the board when territory returned to the side in white just after the half-hour mark. They took their chance via a Humphreys drop that made the score 19-0.
Was there a way back for the two-time champions? They did have a few moments in that aforementioned passage that would build encouragement while it was clear that Ulster would struggle to keep up their ruthless effort in defence. And so it proved to be as an overlap was finally created on the left wing and Simon Zebo duly cashed in close to the touchline, with Ronan O'Gara adding the conversion. Hope for the Limerick faithful.
19-7 then became 19-10 courtesy of a 40th minute penalty from O'Gara with the final kick of the half from 46 metres out into the teeth of a strong wind. What gave Munster extra hope of continuing their revival after the break would be the fact that Chris Henry was in the sin-bin.
Munster returned looking for territory via the boot of O'Gara as he probed for the corners against the fourteen men. However, they struggled to apply sustained pressure as a lack of ideas meant only three points from a penalty were posted as Henry returned to the action.
What was apparent as O'Gara continued to use his knowledge of every blade of grass at Thomond Park was that the momentum had completely shifted into Munster's hands, with coach Tony McGahan having serious impact to come from the bench should he choose to use it. His first call was to Johne Murphy before Donncha O'Callaghan emerged for Tommy O'Donnell just as Pienaar nailed three critical points from the tee that made it 22-13.
The nine-point advantage did not last long at all though as a minute later O'Gara replied after Stephen Ferris, declared fit after being a worry in midweek, took a Munster player high in contact. It was meat and drink for O'Gara ahead of what was a nerve-wracking finish.
Ulster did have the chance to put the game to bed in minute 74 and 76 when Humphreys struck a drop-goal that shaved the post and then Pienaar missed a penalty from 45 metres. But they managed to hold on and book a semi-final clash with Edinburgh in Dublin.
Man-of-the-match: Shrugging off an injury he picked up against Aironi last week, Stephen Ferris was a rock for Ulster. His work did not dip from Romain Poite's first to last whistle.

Tries: Zebo

Good border rivalries in sports bring out the best, the worst and sometimes the personal in everyone.
Take the Menomonee Falls-Sussex Hamilton boys basketball game Tuesday night in the Falls. The student sections were doing their usual "Why so quiet?", "Let's play football!" type of chants, when the Charger fans, tired of being reminded that the Indians upset them in one of the great grid games of autumn, upped the ante' with this:
"You're so ugly!"
Ouch! The Falls fans largely laughed it off, even Falls coaches in the stands chuckled at the clever rejoinder and then everyone started paying attention to the game again.
Their guys had struggled against the unbeaten Chargers (3-0 in Greater Metro Conference play and 7-0 overall) for the better part of three quarters, scoring only two points in the first period.
They then got caught up in the buzzsaw that was the last 1:35 of the second quarter. The Chargers outscored the Indians 10-0 in that time, including a dagger of a top-of-the-key three-pointer from all-everything junior guard Brady Ellingson at the buzzer to make it 33-17.
Ellingson would finish with 28 points.
Things got worse in the third quarter for Falls as a Drew Patterson's lay-up made it 46-24 for Hamilton with 28 seconds left in the period.
But then things started getting interesting, interesting enough that the Chargers had to sweat some questionable shot selection (one of nine from the field), some poor foul shooting (4 of 11) and some general offensive stagnation in the final period to hold off the tenacious Indians, 52-47.
"If we hit our free throws this conversation doesn't even get held," said Hamilton coach Andy Cerroni, "but we got a little flat and we didn't take very good shots, but it was what it was. Let's face, I don't care what their record was (the Indians are now 0-7 overall), this was not an easy opportunity playing here."
'But we got the win, and that's what counts."
It sounded like one of the exciting NCAA D3 football playoff games that WIAC champion and eventual national semifinalist UW-Oshkosh played earlier this fall. Cerroni's brother Pat coaches that squad and was in attendance at Falls to give the Chargers and his brother some encouragement (or was it Falls coach Dan Leffel and the Indians as Pat Cerroni once coached the Indian football team for three seasons)?
Fortunately for family relations, Andy Cerroni and his Chargers came out victorious.
Meanwhile, Leffel, whose team was coming off a discouraging thumping to top-ranked in state and unbeaten Germantown on Saturday night, could hold close the idea that his squad has some character, some heart.
"This is definitely something to build on," he said. "We showed a lot of toughness in that fourth quarter. Now if we can just put that together in an effort for all four quarters, then we could get some things done."
If only the Indians had started earlier.
Senior forward Zach Murray scored the first 10 points of the fourth quarter as the Indians gave a pulse to a game that looked like it had hit the snooze alarm one too many times in the third period.
Murray's effort closed the margin to 46-36 with 2:43 remaining. Ellingson hit a putback for Hamilton's only buicket of the session to make it 48-36 with 1:30 left so it looked like the Chargers were comfortable.
Falls senior guard Brandon Ramey converted a three-point play and then Devon Nauer quickly knocked down a putback to make it 48-41 with 59 seconds left.
Ellingson hit two free throws with 54 seconds left to make it 50-41, but then Ramey converted another three-point play with 26 seconds left to cut the margin to 50-44.
Ellingson hit still another brace of charity tosses with 25 seconds left, but still the Indians would not go away, as junior forward Anthony Russo put down a three-pointer from the wing to close the gap to 52-47 with 15 seconds left.
And when a miss and a lane violation wiped away another free throw opportunity for the Chargers, Falls had a chance to get the score to a single possession, but Ramey's three from the top of the key rimmed out and that essentially allowed Andy Cerroni to breathe again.
"We turned in a good defensive effort for the most part," he said. "It's what we try to do. That helps us get on little runs like the one we had (at the end of the half)."
"It wasn't pretty, but bottom line, we had enough cushion left to pull this out. I just wished the clock had moved a littlle faster (laughs)."
Tony Gumina added seven for Hamilton.
Leffel praised the boost that players like Vadial Shields and Devin Jackson gave to the Indians as Ramey led Falls with 13 points, while Murray had 12 and Juwan McCloud eight.
"This just goes to show that you can never count a team," said Leffel. "This (the fourth quarter) showed what kind of potential we have especially defensively. It could lead to confidence on offense and better things in general."

Yeah, gdupninja. Thanks.
Now, I just need to see the pages for Sasuke's entry to the Kyuubi domain. I think that he did use the Sharingan eyes if I remember correctly, but it could have been based on Oro's jutsu which would be interesting. Whether or not he suppressed it or not using the Sharingan, I clearly think that Naruto was letting the 'Kyuubi out' so-to-speak during the Oro encounter because they are certainly in two different states (angry vs calm). So, if in the future Sasuke attempts to use the Sharingan to suppress the Kyuubi he'd better hope that Naruto isn't using the Kyuubi chakra under duress (rage) otherwise it might not work (like what Spades said).
there it is its also on next 2 pages after that

Ever wonder why one of your particularly bad posts has been deleted? Feel free to contact me!
I cba to read the rest of the threads so I'll just post this.
Nine Tails said that Madara's chakara was more sinister not greater than his own.
The reason why Sasuke can surpress the Nine Tails' chakara is because it's an ability that only an Uchiha can do or someone who has the right cells/blood. Sasuke may carry a gene that Madara had as rumors have been said that Sasuke's chakara is similar to Madara's.
Edit:Also it seems that Sasuke knows about Nine Tails seeing the Sharingan before, perhaps the Nine Tails has something to do with the Uchiha's secret? Something written in the temple?

Orochimaru reminds me of Michael Jackson... Hes pale and has long black hair LOL
"Come here Sasuke, I'll show you the true power of the white snake" ROFLMAO
yeah i agree. if u see the middle panels on this page oro's dissipatingI see nothing that suggests Orochimaru actually subdued the Kyuubi there...quite opposite it looks like the kyuubi roared and forced Orochimaru out of there.
i dont think that the ability to go into the sewer is anything to do with some secret techniqe and more to do with the fact that the seal seperating narutos chakra and the kyuubiis is getting weaker and failing, i think its just simple dojutsu to be able to see the kyubis chakra but surpressing it is probly down to uchiha blood and that supressing the kyyubbis chakra was a joint effor between naruto rejecting it (becausde he probly would of just gone mental and killed sasuke) and sasukes ability to make animals such as manda do wat he wants if naruto wasnt rejecting it theres no way sasuke would of beenable to look into his eyes and even if he did he probly would of got the same treatment as orochi because the only person weve seen who can truly counter the kyyubiis chakra face to face is naruto.
hmm i wonder what obitos doing right now.... decomposing and smelling up the joint i gess coz hes dead!!
Ok, on the speculation spectrum I would put this one somewhere near pure speculation (re: bs). Do you have any proof of this? Right cells/blood? Genetics? Hmm, where is your source? Please post the pages or links, because I must have missed that chapter where they covered this.Originally Posted by gohanex999
That seal jutsu what has lock kyubi... jiraya sayed that its not weaking the kyubi charka... but allow to use it and oro when sayed that in the years of the kyubi in side the naruto they chakra starts to mix up so meyby it means that he has more enter to the kyubi power but he cant controll it too well so in 4 tails kyubi got over him. That must be some dojutsu or just genjutsu because it show us that oro was blow up by kyubi not naruto so i think sasuke dont get too because naruto was holding the kyubi.

National Sculpture
Prize and Exhibition
Winner Announced
14 July 2005
Glen Clarke was today named as the winner of the National Sculpture Prize 2005 for his work titled Americancrater near Hanoi #2.
Sydney based artist Glen Clarke was selected from a record 39 finalists, featuring some of Australia's foremost sculptors, such as Bert Flugelman, Geoffrey Bartlett, Ian Howard and Bonita Ely, as well as a number of emerging artists.
Judges statement:
American crater near Hanoi #2 is an exceptional work that is fragile and delicate in addressing a particularly powerful subject. The artist has sensitively integrated message and form to allow for multiple interpretations by the viewer, and the work yields constant rediscovery as it is observed. American Crater near Hanoi #2 is exquisitely executed and extends our understanding of the possibilities of sculptural practice.
The decision of the judges was unanimous. The diversity and outstanding quality of the works in the exhibition, however, made it difficult to single out one work as the winner, and is a testament to the extraordinary vitality of contemporary Australian sculptural practice.
National Gallery of Australia Director, Ron Radford, who was also one of the judges, said, 'The sculptors have embraced the unrestrictive nature of the competition and used a vast array of materials, techniques and approaches in their work,' said Mr Radford. 'No artistic stone has been left unturned by this year's finalists, who have used everything from vacuum cleaner parts to termite-hollowed tree trunks to convey their message.
'Significantly, this year's Prize also includes works in new media, including digital works, DVD projections and sound works, as well as large-scale installations alongside traditional sculptural objects.'
The National Sculpture Prize and exhibition was established as a partnership between the National Gallery of Australia and the Macquarie Bank Foundation in 2000 to support and promote Australian sculpture.
Held biennially, it carries a $50 000 prize, making it one of the most generous award for contemporary art in Australia. The Macquarie Bank People's Choice Award of $4000 is also awarded to the most popular work in the exhibition.
Announcing the winner, Macquarie Bank Executive Director, Warwick Smith, said the National Sculpture Prize had achieved much for Australian sculpture over the past five years.
'The National Sculpture Prize has given new prominence to Australian sculpture, which for a long time was the bridesmaid of the Australian arts,' Mr Smith said. 'It has also initiated other lucrative sculpture prizes, further enhancing the profile of the art form. Most importantly, it has given valuable exposure to Australia's most talented sculptors, providing a strong platform on which to build their careers.'
The judges selecting the winner of the National Sculpture Prize 2005 were:
- Mr Julian Beaumont, Chairman, Macquarie Bank Art Committee
- Dr Anna Gray, Assistant Director, Australian Art, National Gallery of Australia
- Dr Deborah Hart, Senior Curator, Australian Art, National Gallery of Australia (preselection judging only)
- Ms Hilarie Mais, Artist
- Mr Ron Radford, Director, National Gallery of Australia (final judging only)
- Mr John Stringer, Curator, Kerry Stokes Collection
From tomorrow the exhibition of the 39 finalists' works will open at the National Gallery of Australia, allowing visitors to experience the largest exhibition of contemporary Australian sculpture in a public gallery in the last decade.
A selection of the finalists' work will then tour several Macquarie Bank offices, where they will be placed on public display, then to the Dell Gallery, Queensland College of the Arts.

My Rogaine ExperienceI've been using Rogaine for Women about a year now. It took several months, and though my hair in the sparse area on top is not really thick, it is much better than it was before the Rogaine. I was willing to "commit for life" in order not to be nearly bald in that area. However, after all this time, I am just now experiencing extreme flakes and crusty areas and itching. I will try the anti-itch shampoo and see if that helps, because it's either Rogaine or a wig. Also going to try the men's once a day rather than the women's.Feb 1, 2011Val / SE USHAIR TYPEDry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Excellent Results After 4 MonthsI was shedding 100-150 hairs/day for about 6 months. One derm told me this was normal since I was in my late 40s and probably going through the change. He injected my scalp with a steriod which really HURT but it also caused bald patches wherever there was an injection. Needless to say, I lost a lot of my hair (50%) on the crown. I went to a specialist and she prescribed Rogaine for men. It started working within weeks and my hair loss is now down to maybe 10 hairs/day. All the bald patches are covered in new hair growth. The side effects are basically as everybody has listed including the itchy, flaky scalp and peach fuzz facial hair. I found that Head and Shoulders works well. When I went back to the derm she prescribed PG free minoxidil and that works really well as far as controlling the itchiness. When women lose their hair, it can be devastating to our self-esteem so it you are suffering, give this a try and be patient. I was horrified to go out, but it takes time to work and in the meantime there are alot of products such as Toppik and Dermatch that can help until your hair starts coming back.Dec 15, 2010LilyHAIR TYPELight Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

So Excited!I researched this thouroughly before trying, I knew to watch for my hair initially falling out in the beginning, which it did. Now, after 4 months, I have 'baby hairs' around my hairline and throughout my crown, very similar to after dealing with post-pregnancy hair loss and it then coming back in. I grew up with thick hair and noticed substantial changes to my shaft thickness and the amount of hair on my head in my early 20's. I am very excited to continue this treatment. I am using the men's foam, typically once a day, and purchased the 3-pack for little more than the 1-month supply. The foam is easier for me to apply and less fear of spillage. I will also note that I am seeing my peach fuzz increase in length, and density, on the sides of my face, but they're baby fine and light, so I don't really care as the hair on top of my head is so much more of an issue to me. I do not have dandruff, or itching, I wonder if it's because I'm using it only once a day, but it's stronger men's version. I will continue using it!! It's not really more expensive than a good multivitamin, or even one nice bottle of face moisturizer at the beauty counter, and it's proving itself so much more!Nov 3, 2010Lori / MNHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Dermatologist RecommendedLong story short: my hair was falling out in CHUNKS. :( after freaking out, I went to a dermatologist who told me it was genetics. Boo hoo. She recommended rogaine. After the first use I noticed less hair loss. Praise the Almighty.
She did tell me that this is a life long commitment, and that j could possibly get some unwanted hair on my face. Well that is yet to happen. I have used this for a week now, and I love it. :)Sep 4, 2010Farz J. / Seattle

The Ups And Down About Rogaine.I have been using rogaine for about eight months. My hair has been growing in, but now there is a side effect involved. I now have facial hair growing. My doctor has advised me to use rogaine once at bedtime instead of twice a day.Well now I am back to losing whatever hair had grown in on my scalp. Besides my scalp is very itchy and flacky.Sep 2, 2010Mary F. / NewyorkHAIR TYPEPlatinum Blonde / Fine or Thin Hair

The Facts About RogaineIm 45 and was diagnosed with Alepecia 4 years ago. My mother has thinning hair and I was the lucky one who inherited it from her. Rather disappointing as I was the daughter with gorgeous hair until then. My dermatologist said Rogaine is the the only product outside of hair treatment that works. So I tried it. It took about 5 months to see a difference. For the ladies who are looking for answers, here are the facts. 1) Read the labels and instructions carefully. Rogaine specifically says to use it every day, twice a day. 2) It makes NO promises to work for everyone, rather says "individual results vary". So if it didnt work for you, I know it is saddening, but your genetics rejected it. Its not the products fault. 3) The instructions also say, you will have hair loss from dead hair in the beginning, but that will stop and start to regrow. Also tells you, you must continue using it or it will have a reverse effect. READ YOUR LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS. 4) Neutrogenia makes a scalp treatment shampoo I use for the flaking once a week to keep the itching and flaking under control, then use my regular shampoo immediately after. No, I do not have long tresses as a result of Rogaine, but do have baby fine hairs that have sprouted and remained on the hairline and frontal crown which helped the thinning. I say "best" because its the best on the market for the price outside of plugs or replacement surgery.May 14, 2009Honestly / Atlanta, GA

It Totally Works!I have had thin and fine hair my whole life. Finally at 30 my hair was getting super thin on top. I decided to try Rogaine for women 7.5 months ago. It is great. My hair is grown a lot and my hair gets easier to style and deal with everyday. My close friend are amazed. They said they want to buy stock. They have known me since age 12. I have read a ton of reviews about this product. It does make the scalp itchy at times (especially in the first few months). It does make you shed (alot at first when you least need to shed). It is hard to deal with the first couple of months. You need to develop a routine to apply it. I am here to say if you have heredity cause hair loss like I do...that it works if you stick to it. I am getting ready to try a generic mens solution (at the sugesstion of a dermatologist). It runs $17 for 4 months, very affordable.Girls, keep your head up!Mar 24, 2008A Girl / West Virginia

GreatThose of you who put 4 starts obviously didnt do their research before taking the product. There is usually shedding within the first 3 months on using Rogaine. This is the dead hair falling out to be replaced by new ones. It takes about 6 months for regrowth. And to those who lost their hair after stopping to use it it.. OBVIOUSLY! Youre supposed to continue taking it forever. If you stop, obviously the hair you grew back will fall out.Mar 4, 2008Angela / Montreal, Canada

Alternatives For Itchy ScalpI started using Rogaine and also experienced the itchy scalp - I had to stop using it even though I was really worried about losing more hair (just diagnosed with Alopecia). My derm was able to perscibe a formula that didnt cause itching but I have to have it filled at the pharmacy. I heard that if you stick with Rogaine the itching gets better... anyone have that happen? Im told it takes at least 4 months to see results so I cant say if it works or not yet. I guess it works on some forms of hair loss but not all. Im keeping my fingers crossed.Aug 30, 2007Anonymous / St. Louis, MO

Fda Big Mistake Of Approving Rogaine Into Every DrugstoreI am in my 20s and was using Rogaine for about a year or two. I started using Rogaine as I was experiencing heavy hair loss due to very intensive physical stress and I strongly regret it. Rogaine could be maybe helpful for those who have genetic hair loss but it is NO help for hair loss of any other reason. I stopped using it about 5 months ago and immediately I started to experience severe hair loss that is still going on. It is very frustrating.Aug 31, 2006Monika / San Diego, Ca

Designed for use in and around heavy cover, the V & M Delta Bug is great for getting bass to bite that are buried underneath heavy vegetation or isolated timber. Made from a super soft, pliable plastic, the V & M Delta Bug features four lively appendages that go wild with flailing action. The bulky, ribbed body makes it a great jig trailer when you're looking for a larger crawfish presentation, and it's also "super-scented" for an added dimension of attraction. Whether you're punching through mats or flipping reeds, the V & M Delta Bug will have big bass begging for a taste.

Comments: You'll get bit with this bait, bass love them. The only thing I don't like about them is that they aren't very durable, they split down the middle to easy. One or two bites and they are torn up.
From: Wayne: Casey, IL 7/2/16
Comments: All i can say about this bait is awesome! Although I do not use this bait for punching/flipping (because i fish in ponds) i am able to very successfully fish this bait on the bottom and it is just a killer! If you are fishing anywhere that has a clean enough bottom like mud use this bait. This bait has phenomenal action. The profile of the bait along with all the appendages just drives any bigger bass crazy. Ive had bass hit it several times or jump out the water to eat it. Ive caught WAY more big fish than little fish. This is a big fish bait and coming from somebody who fishes ponds catching more 2lb+ fish than little ones is something. I caught my largest bass ever a 5lber on this bait. So main points are this thing has great action, scent, profile, durability is better than the other successful baits i use, and catches big bass. Strongly recommend. As for color the pond i fish in has like 6 inch visiblity so i use black and blue but if the water is clearer with 1-2ft or more visibility i use the green pumpkin. If you are in a lake the natural craw would work great as well.
From: Ryan: Chicago, IL 7/13/15
Comments: awesome punch bait! It has a big yet slender profile, it slips in and out of cover very well and it doesn't have to much action, the adapendges and tentacles quiver the perfect amount, very impressed and well be purchasing more.
From: Jack: Tallahassee, FL 12/28/14
Comments: All I can say is WOW!! Soft, great tentacle motion, and reusable unlike most other bait company's. Great big bass bait!!!

Skip to comments.Gay marriage clears the House of Lords (UK)
Posted on 07/15/2013 11:48:45 AM PDT by Olog-hai
Gay marriage is set to become law after clearing the House of Lords.
The Queen is expected to be asked to give her approval to the Billone of the most radical pieces of social legislation of her reignby the end of this week.
It opens the way for the first legally-recognized same-sex weddings to take place in England and Wales by next summer and brings the centuries-old understanding of marriage as being solely between a man and a woman to an end.
Baroness Stowell, the Government spokesman who steered the bill through the Lords, told a chamber packed with peers wearing pink carnations, that it was an historic achievement. But opponents accused the Government of using a parliamentary bulldozer to speed the change through.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
And here is the sound of the UK being flushed down the toilet...
they have chosen the toilet so many times...
Isn't the House of Lords the one that is filled with inbred royalists who do all manner of kinky crap????
Or am I mistaking them for the royal family?
I'm beginning to think Islamic conquest of Britain would improve the place.
This is a symptom of same. Setup for it becoming another Iran or Egypt. No, not an improvement.
Wonder where the world is headed? Doesn't look good for the West. For moral bearings, it appears that the east may be where the next great move of God occurs.
***And the Queen is directly responsible to God, too.***
QE is the titular head of the Church of England and 'defender of the faith'.
Wonder if she will take a stand. Gay marriage in the monarchy would certainly end the Royal lineage.
****Baroness Stowell, the Government spokesman****
A she/he already??? LOL!!!
I suppose this means the poofters will retire the Tower of London steel rod that they would heat until white-hot and thrust up the bum of gays and traitors, way back when.
Now they, uh, knight them.
No, if it was, this Bill might actually be delayed.
Tony Blair 'reformed' the House of Lords by removing nearly all of the hereditary peers from it. While this may certainly be regarded as desirable on the grounds of democracy, as the idea of people holding political power purely on the basis of their ancestry is rather outdated and anti-democratic, the hereditary Peers overwhelmingly tended to be conservative, with a high proportion of those raised within a traditional Christian background.
The removal of most of the hereditary Peers, meant the House of Lords has become dominated by the Life Peers - people who made Lords on the recommendation of the government of the day for the term of their own life, and who will not hand on any title to their children. These are, to a great extent, chosen by the Prime Minister of the day, and thus a government now has the ability to stack the House of Lords to some extent to help them get their legislation through, and make things more difficult for their opponents for decades to come. While many Life Peers are people who have served Britain well and deserve the accolades and honours that come with that, it's profoundly changed the nature of the House of Lords. More Members of the House of Lords are now Labour (217) than Conservative (209). Liberal Democrat Lords (89) still give the current government more overall Lords than Labor, but as there are about 230 Lords who either affiliate with a minor party, or do not affiliate, that means that the House has changed greatly in political structure since before the Hereditary Peers were removed. In 1999, when the Hereditary Peers were expelled by laws passed by the Blair government about 3% of the Hereditary Peers were Labour, and about 60% were Conservatives. If they were still in the House, the House would be solidly Conservative - that doesn't necessarily mean the Bill would be delayed (and the Lords can only delay Bills) because many British Conservatives are supporting it, but it would have increased the chances.
The Queen can't block it. It's not a Constitutional issue, nor one that engages the Reserve Powers, so she has no grounds to do so. The Queen is a Constitutional Monarch, and Parliament has primacy under that Constitution - the Queen can only legitimately refuse assent to a law that exceeds Parliamentary authority.
There are 26 Church of England Bishops who sit in the House of Lords as the Lords Spiritual (other Lords are the Lords Temporal), and it is their role, if they see fit, to try and represent the Church, of which the Queen is Supreme Governor, in the Parliament. They do get to vote, but they represent only 4% of the current Chamber. And they don't vote very often (they did vote to assist in stopping a Euthanasia Bill from passing the Lords in 2006).
The Queen has no choice but to sign any bill that passes the Commons and the Lords. It has been that way since the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The only time a monarch has ever vetoed a bill since then has been in 1708 when Queen Anne refused to sign a bill creating a Scottish Militia, and she only did so because the Government instructed her to.
The gay is seeping over the Channel from Paree.
There are approximately 730 Lords Temporal at the moment. This includes about 640 Life Peers (people created Barons for the term of their own life, who will not pass on any title to their children) and 92 Hereditary Peers of varying rank from Baron to Duke, out of the approximately 800 Hereditary Peers remaining. Most Hereditary Peers were expelled from the House of Lords in 1999 under the reforms of the Blair government, but the terms of those reforms allowed the Hereditary Peers to elect 90 of their number to remain, pending further reforms that may occur in the future. Two Hereditary Peers, the Earl Marshal (Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 18th Duke of Norfolk) and the Lord Great Chamberlain (David Cholmondeley, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley) retain their positions because of the Hereditary Offices they hold (the Duke of Norfolk has always been the Earl Marshal since 1672, and even before that all the way back until 1397, the Duke of Norfolk most often held the position), the position of Lord Great Chamberlain is a lot more complicated but is normally the Marquess of Cholmondeley) which are considered necessary to the administration of the Monarchy and have ceremonial duties to carry out in the House of Lords.
There are 26 Lords Spiritual (actually 25 right at the moment as the office of Bishop of Durham is temporarily vacant) who are Church of England Bishops and Archbishops. By convention, in many cases, only one of them votes on an issue (by a roster system), but they are all permitted to vote and on 'moral issues' multiple Lords Spiritual may vote at once (often on different sides).
Your picture didn't load for me the first time, so I didn't realise you were making a joke.
The Doctor is not a Lord Temporal, but he was, of course, knighted by Queen Victoria, as Sir Doctor of Tardis - the 'of Tardis' would actually imply he might be a Baronet.
That's okay. Wasn't much of a joke. ;)
And we just know that 90 year old Queen Elizabeth believes in queer "marriage". Shit. Until she opens her mouth and gives a press conference saying she has "evolved" I will never in a million years believe this 90 year old women believes in fag "marriage". And she doe not make the law anyway. England flushed themselves down the toilet bowel when Henry the 8th
started his own religion.
Actually, it is a constitutional issue. Under the British constitution, one of the monarch's titles is Fidei Defensor, defender of the faith. Moreover, even though bishops of the C of E sit in the House of Lords, Queen Elizabeth is the head of the Church, superior to the Archbishop of Canterbury. If she were to assent to this bill, it would fly in the face of 2000 years of Christian doctrine. So the question is, will she uphold her royal oath to God or not?
No, it is not. It has nothing to do with any element of the British constitution.
Under the British constitution, one of the monarch's titles is Fidei Defensor, defender of the faith.
While Defender of the Faith is one of the Monarch's titles, the titles of the Monarch are not part of the constitution. They are considered a 'style' which can be changed at will by Parliament (Her Majesty's current style is set by the Royal Titles Act 1953, and renders the style only in English, so Fidei Defensor is not strictly part of it, but a translation). It's not part of the constitutional law.
Moreover, even though bishops of the C of E sit in the House of Lords, Queen Elizabeth is the head of the Church, superior to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
She is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, certainly, but she is not Head of the Church of England - in fact the term Supreme Governor was deliberately chosen in order to avoid the use of the term Supreme Head (Henry VIII and Edward VI had used the term Supreme Head, and it had caused considerable issues, so Elizabeth I had it changed to Supreme Governor).
The Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England of 1563 set out precisely what the Monarch's powers were and were not in terms of their powers over the Church. The 37th Article makes it clear that all powers of the Monarch in regards to running of the Church, and to its influence over government are delegated to the Ecclesiastical or Temporal authorities - Parliament in other words.
If she were to assent to this bill, it would fly in the face of 2000 years of Christian doctrine. So the question is, will she uphold her royal oath to God or not?
Yes, she will. Which is why she cannot intervene - because of this section of the Coronation Oath that she swore: And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them.
By law, and by the Articles, the right to make decisions on laws that go through Parliament is a privilege of the Bishops of England - the Lords Spiritual. She swore to preserve that right - not to overrule it.
That is the Oath she swore.
The Queen is not a tyrant. She does not get to overrule Parliament, except on a very precise set of issues.
