Skip to comments.Mark Steyn: There's no stopping them now
Posted on 07/13/2003 12:08:22 PM PDT by Pokey78
Personally, I'm relaxed about sodomy, which isn't the same as being relaxed during sodomy. But one does one's best to keep up with the times. I use the word ''sodomy,'' incidentally, mainly because I still can. I would wager that one of the consequences of the Supreme Court decision striking down sodomy laws will be that they've also struck down the word. I see New York is revising its statutes to eliminate such anachronistically pejorative terms, and in Georgia, where the DAs have made hip, busy cop-show acronyms out of their archaic legislation, I don't suppose ''SOLCAN''--as in ''Soliciting a Crime Against Nature''--will be long for this world.
David Frost likes to tell an anecdote from his mammoth post-Watergate Nixon interviews in the 70s. The former president was notoriously bad at small talk but, one Monday morning, decided to make an effort and, while the cameras were setting up, asked his interviewer, ''Did you do any fornicating this weekend?'' Frostie was doing an awful lot of fornicating in those days, but, as he noted, that's not generally the word your average playboy swinger uses to describe it. If you're an uptight Republican square and you're trying to get with the program, don't ask the reporter from The Advocate if he did any sodomizing this weekend.
Language has been an important weapon in the gay movement's very swift advance. In the old days, there was ''sodomy'': an act. In the late 19th century, the word ''homosexuality'' was coined: a condition. A generation ago, the accepted term became ''gay'': an identity. Each formulation raises the stakes: One can object to and even criminalize an act; one is obligated to be sympathetic toward a condition; but once it's a fully fledged 24/7 identity, like being Hispanic or Inuit, anything less than wholehearted acceptance gets you marked down as a bigot.
Which is why gay marriage is already here in two Canadian provinces (Ontario and British Columbia), coming to Britain any day now, and likely to be ruled a fundamental human right by the Massachusetts Supreme Court later this summer. The transformation of a ''crime against nature'' into a co-equal civic identity within little more than the span of one human lifetime is one of the most remarkable victories ever achieved by any minority group. Some years ago, the (gay) columnist Andrew Sullivan said to me that he reckoned there was more male-on-male sex in the days before the invention of gayness as a round-the-clock identity. I don't doubt it. But that only makes the triumph of gay marriage even more impressive: In the Western world, a minority that didn't even exist in a formal sense a century ago has managed to overwhelm and overhaul a universal societal institution thousands of years old.
Alas, my own taste in gays is hopelessly old-fashioned. I've hung around the theater most of my adult life, and I love the likes of Cole Porter and the eccentric English composer and painter Lord Berners. These are the fellows who thought homosexuality was one of those things ''Too Good For The Average Man,'' in the words of Lorenz Hart's sly lyric--too special for the masses. These days, the gay movement insists it's as average as any man, if not more so. Watching the two chubby gays being wed by a gay vicar on the steps of the courthouse in Vancouver the other day, Cole Porter would have wondered what on earth was the point of being homosexual.
Conversely, what about the moral authority that underpinned all those laws about crimes against nature? If it weren't for homosexuality, the ''mainstream'' Christian churches would get barely any press at all.
In Canada, the big story has been New Westminster's decision to become the first Anglican diocese to perform same-sex ceremonies. In Britain, the big story has been the nomination of a celibate gay to the bishopric of Reading, the first openly gay bishop in the Church of England. In America, the big story has been the nomination of a practicing gay to the bishopric of New Hampshire, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church. In Nigeria, where on any Sunday the Anglicans in the pews outnumber those in America, Britain and Canada combined, the Archbishop is understandably miffed that the only news he gets from head office revolves around various permutations of gayness.
Nonetheless, the distinctions are fascinating. In England, the much touted celibacy of Canon Jeffrey John and his partner has a whiff of the ''but I didn't inhale'' about it: as someone said of Bill Clinton's defense in the Monica business, ''But I didn't impale.'' The New Hampshire bishop, who left his wife and kids and now lives in a fully committed and loving relationship with another man exploring his sexuality to the hilt, is much more au courant with the ''I Gotta Be Me'' sensibility of the age.
How far will it go? In Canada, the government has promised that the new law permitting same-sex marriage will ''protect'' the rights of churches. But anybody who's paid even cursory attention to Canadian court decisions knows what happens when gays and religion come up against each other: A Christian printer is fined because he politely declined a printing job from gay propagandists; a Christian college is told it cannot fire a promiscuous gay employee; a Christian high school is instructed that a gay teenager must be allowed to take his boyfriend to the prom. I wouldn't bet on the right of a Canadian church to decline to perform same-sex marriages surviving a sufficiently determined plaintiff. Look for gay weddings to become routine in northern churches within the next decade.
As for south of the border, the Episcopal Church, like the Church of England, is dying, and the notion that adopting exotic gay mascots will make either more relevant is highly doubtful. The most liberal churches are the emptiest. The fastest-growing religion in North America and western Europe is the sternest: Islam. And the only Christian churches showing any growth are the evangelicals--or the ''bigots,'' as Richard Holloway, the former Episcopal primate of Scotland, called them the other day.
That's marginally more polite than the description of ''traditionalists'' offered by his co-religionist, the first female Anglican bishop Barbara Harris, at the 1998 Lambeth conference: ''If assholes were airplanes, this conference would be an airport.'' One way or another, it's all very anal in the Anglican church these days. The problem for Bishop Harris is that one day those flying assholes will take off and the airport will be empty.
Those congregational attendance statistics tell their own story: Nobody needs a religion that licenses one's appetites. So thriving churches will increasingly exist in opposition to establishment culture. And thus the revolution comes full circle: gayness celebrated at the heart of society, and traditional Judeo-Christian morality relegated to the shadows, even though followers of the latter vastly outnumber those of the former.
What an amazing feat. Whether or not one approves of the sodomites, I can't help feeling a mite envious: How come guys this good never get the marketing account for my pet causes?

Steyn should be careful. You know what happened to Santorum when he tried to make comparisons.
That's what I said, too.

LOL. Good article, Pokey. Thanks so much.
In a sea of humor many islands of truth (apologizing for the lame metaphor)
Thanks, Pokey !!

Gay couple married after ruling
(Toronto, Canada)
barf alert!
Michael Stark, left, and Michael Lashner pop champagne
and kiss after their wedding ceremony yesterday.
Leshner called the ruling, "Day One for millions of gays
and lesbians around the world."
B.C. court OK's gay marriage -
first gay couple legally married in British Columbia
Same-sex unions in 'News' -
Dallas Morning News to publish FREE
same sex unions announcements
The Media's Gay Mafia "Queers" the News
When the rulers insist they know better than the masses, don't be surprised if the masses look elsewhere. I wouldn't vote for a state sodomy law, and some of the sex acts proscribed in the more broadly drawn anti-sodomy legislation I still dream fondly of getting to try one day, if I ever find anyone willing to have sex with me. But the gay lobby hasn't yet closed the deal with the American people on the equalization of homosexual relationships and, by insisting haughtily that it has and that the case is now closed, it's behaving in a manner more appropriate to the diseased Chiraquiste democracies of Europe than to the rough 'n' tumble of America.
Simple, Mark.
Satan has his own "pet causes"!
So is mine. And so is that of at least some gays:
I have a gay friend who said he thought he was doing something incredibly racy and "fun" when he adopted his rather dramatic gay persona, and now that it had become politically correct, he didn't see any point in it!
He said that he didn't want to marry anybody of either sex, and that the politicization and "official status" of homosexuality had taken all the fun out of it. He could no longer sit in a bar pretending to be Bette Davis. Or even pretending to like Bette Davis movies...
And no one dares call Muslims bigots or intolerant.
Sometimes I wonder if Nixon didn't have a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome.
Could be worse ... Christianity does much better when it's irremediably countercultural. Welcome to the remnant, folks!
The article strikes me as libertarian rather than conservative. The quotation from another article is more of the same. Perhaps he thinks it is a matter of custom, preference, and privacy.
However, I think we are in the tail end of a losing war with the homosexual culture. Heterosexuals have lost the war because we gave up on the institution of marriage. With that burden out of the way, nothing could stop abortion on demand or any form of sexual license. As one wit said, "When God is removed from the equation, any orifice will do." Thus bestiality is now the cutting edge with Princeton ethicist Singer. Here is one link: Singer
The Catholic bishops just met in St. Louis. Their favorite toast?
A very good point. A lot of people don't know that Frost first made his name doing topical, politically-based TV comedy in the UK. In fact, the members of Monty Python met while working on one of Frost's TV shows. They absolutely despised him, and when they formed Monty Python Frost knew it was going to be big and begged them to let him be a member of the troupe. They told him to ask again sometime around the year 3000.
In the "It's A. Tree" sketch, the smarmy, wood-interviewing host Arthur Tree is essentially a parody of David Frost in all his slimy, celebrity butt-kissing glory.
That's Makim Bin Dover.
Publicly admitting to belief in Christ Jesus is already forbidden by the rules of polite society in many circles.
Steyn does it again. That is just one more of the most profound statements I have ever heard.
That's how I read it, as well.

wtf is this supposed to be?
I am half asleep, so I may be missing something, but I do not see anything.
Boba Fett.
yeah cant u see that its fett in the cockpit
Sorry that it wasn't too obvious for some... I did that a long time ago, and I thought I'd finally post it...just for the heck of it.
I've always thought that the only thing more dangerous than Boba Fett...is Boba Fett in an Apache.
(For those curious, it's from the Desert Combat mod for BF 1942, I just moved a few pixels in the cockpit around to make it look like Fett...and photoshopped the rest. It's kind of old...once I get faster internet, I'll try to make a better one, just because I can. )
That's really funny. It took me a few seconds to pick him out.
I found it easily too.
I found it easily. Nice picture.

|In response to Re: Indirect draining a washing machine
: The proper installation according to code would be for the laundry tub and WM to connect properly to the sanitary drainage and vent system with the appropriately sized lines.
*Sigh* Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, well, I'll just put it on the list.
: In theory, a hook up as yours would work if the floor drain was 3" and vented, and had a strainer cover with a funnel attached to prevent splashing, similar to an indirect drain connection in a restaurant.
The floor drains *do* appear to be 3" CI, using my calibrated hand, and the funnel is easy enough to provide. On the other hand, the only venting in the entire house is the top of the 4" main stack, so the floor drains certainly aren't vented in any code-approved fashion. Another thing to put on the list, lol.
Thanks for your help.

After looking at the Mavi Jeans Fall 2011 Campaign, we are more than ready for back-to-school shopping (AKA the only positive thing about this time of year). Photographer Tom Corbett shows how dark wash denim for both men and women is a great match for other autumn fashions, like hats, scarves, and the beloved classic, plaid button-downs. So whether or not you're hitting the books this fall or if you just want to freshen up your wardrobe, Mavi Jeans has plenty to choose from. And from the looks of this campaign, they are guaranteeing good style and some serious fun.

|In response to Re: Install new gas line
: I am having two gas fireplaces inserts installed. I am going to run the gas line myself from the meter to the units. It will be a 3/4" line 18" underground for 40 ft along the slab then mount to the side of the house for 15 ft to gain access to the attic. Run across the attic and down to the units. Each unit is in different rooms but next to each other and each will have a gas cut of vavle. My question is; Should I use the plastic pipe made for gas lines the hole distance, or once it comes out the ground switch to black metal gas pipe? Also should I connect the plastic pipe straight to the meter.

Nov 5th update: Stephen Windwalker has recently posted that sales of his Kindle Help Book increased by a factor of 5 after the Oprah Kindle effect – I can confirm that traffic on this blog increased by a factor of 4 (it's still triple what it was pre-Oprah), and number of people clicking through to the Kindle page – well, the Oprah Effect has resulted in an increase by a factor of 20. Since the 24th, on average, more than 20 times more people have visited the Kindle product page – that's what Oprah has done for the Kindle.
There's also an AdAge study about the Oprah Kindle effect that has some interesting numbers – 467% increase in number of people searching for 'kindle'.
Original: Wow – I'd forecast that 105,000 or so Kindles would get sold in the week or so after Oprah's Kindle recommendation, and also written that a good test of the Kindle Oprah impact would be whether the Kindle gets sold out or not – well the Kindle is out of stock – with 2-3 week delays! I was going to buy a Kindle (and ship it out to a friend so he can bring it with him to Canada), except I can't – Kindle's Out of Stock.
Amazon shows a 2-3 week delay in shipping. If you don't mind waiting, you still have till end of Nov 1st to use kindle coupon: OPRAHWINFREY and get $50 off the Kindle. I'm going to buy one nevertheless (Edit: Just did – hadn't factored in taxes – i'll probably buy Kindle 2 too, when it comes out). I hope Amazon specifies a release date for Kindle 2 soon.
Amazon should send Oprah the biggest bouquet of flowers they can find. Even in the economic downturn a recommendation from Oprah = Kindle sold out. The Kindle Oprah coupon ends end of day, and it'll be interesting to see whether November is a slow month for Kindle sales based on the huge sales in the last week of October.

Hi Sweetie how are you??? Happy belated B-day! Hope it was wonderful. Sorry I haven't been on in like FOREVER but I'm working a lot and have been back in school for my ASN RN... will be done and sitting for boards hopefully by mid-winter! How is the hospice going? I"m still doing pediatric home care which I LOVE but want to work on a peds unit once I'm an RN.

Emery County Commissioner Randy Johnson was recently named a member of the National Association of Counties' Environment, Energy and Land Use Steering Committee by NACo President, Javier Gonzales.
NACo's 11 steering committees form the policy-making arm of the association. Each committee is comprised of approximately 60-100 county officials who meet several times during the year to examine issues critical to local government.
The Environment, Energy and Land Use Steering Committee focuses on air, water, and noise pollution control; solid and hazardous waste management and disposal; the preservation and proper utilization of water resources; energy; and the use of land resources, including comprehensive planning, coastal zone management, growth management, energy facilities sitting and recreation.
The steering committee's recommendations on legislative policies and goals are presented to NACo's membership during the association's annual conference. If approved, the recommendations become part of the American County Platform, which is the basis of NACo's efforts in representing counties before Congress and the White House.

What should have been a routine traffic stop for speeding turned into a high speed chase and search for the suspect vehicle for Emery County deputies.
Sgt. Jeff Thomas was patrolling north of Huntington on SR-10 at approximately 1 p.m. on Jan. 9 when he observed a black passenger car coming toward him at a high rate of speed. Radar confirmed the vehicle was traveling at least 15 mph over the speed limit. This occurred at approximately milepost 52.5 in the Sandwash area. Sgt. Thomas turned around to pursue the vehicle with flashing lights to pull it over for speeding. The vehicle contained two males with out of state plates.
The suspect vehicle didn't slow down, but seemed to go even faster. It is estimated his speed reached more than 100 mph. The vehicle was observed going west up SR-31 into Huntington Canyon. Other deputies and UHP became involved at this time as well as police vehicles from Sanpete County who traveled SR-31 headed east toward Huntington. Sgt. Thomas met the Sanpete officers on top who said they had not seen such a vehicle.
Deputies explored the side roads and coal mines and power plant parking lots on their way up the canyon. Deputy Kay Jensen and Deputy Shaun Bell reported they had found the possible suspect vehicle at a residence in Trail Canyon.
Personnel for the Bear Canyon mine responded to Trail Canyon where he informed the deputies that the owner of the vehicle was working inside the mine. It was determined the worker would be brought outside the mine to talk to deputies.
The deputies went to Bear Canyon where the suspect was brought out of the mine and Deputy Bell transported Jonathan Kingston, 20, to the sheriff's office for questioning in the matter.
A wrecker was called to transport the suspect vehicle to the sheriff's office. The suspect was interviewed at the sheriff's office. It was determined he would be charged with failure to respond to an officers signal to stop and reckless driving. The suspect was booked on the charges.
It was reported by an eyewitness that the suspect vehicle was going approximately 99 mph in the 40 mph zone by the Canyon View Junior High.
A coal truck driver also reported being passed by the vehicle on its way up the canyon almost running into her left drivers side during the pass.
The suspect was reported to be very cooperative with authorities. The suspect wrote a statement for the deputy.
Suspect posted bail later that day.
The passenger in the car was a friend of the drivers and charges were not levied against him in the case.

Stroker Combines With Vibe For Super-Strong Stimulation!
Designed to fit any large wand massager!
Attention All Men: You've heard women rave about how strong their massaging wands are for years. Now you can finally experience the ultimate in pleasure for yourself with the Hammerhead Stroker Attachment!
• Intense vibrations will make you explode harder than ever!
• Stroker's base slips easily and securely over massage wand
• Textured interior stimulates your sensitive tip and every inch of your shaft
• Experience two completely different sensations
• Open-ended design allows for easier cleaning and extra durability
• Fits any large wand massager, including #5436 A&E Magic Massager
• Measures 1.75 inches wide and 3.75 inches long
• Made from flexible and super-stretchy TPR, a jelly-like material
• Wand Massager sold separately
The Hammerhead Stroker has a 2.5 inch wide cup that fits easily around the tip of any large massage wand. Lube up your penis and slide it inside before you turn it on. (The vibrator is so strong that it's nearly impossible to slip inside the stroker once it's on.) You'll be amazed at the super-strong vibrations focusing directly on your shaft. As the wand vibrates, you'll feel the stroker shaking hundreds if not thousands of times a minute as it "milks" you to a mind-blowing orgasm!
The inside of the stroker is lined with special pleasure features – including pleasure nubs and ribs. Dozens of pleasure nubs completely surround one end of the stroker and gently massage your sensitive tip and every inch of your shaft as you thrust away. The other end of the stroker is lined with ribs that glide over your shaft to make it feel like that first time all over again!
The stroker is open at both ends for several reasons. First, this makes it much easier to clean and dry out than strokers only open at one end. Secondly, the open-ended design allows the stroker to accommodate larger gentlemen. And lastly, the open end increases durability by making it harder to damage or tear the stroker during use.
While you can use the stroker on its own, it's most effective when combined with a wand massager, sold separately. The Hammerhead Male Attachment is designed to fit any large wand massager – including Item #5436 The Adam and Eve Magic Massager and Item #6550 The Hitachi Magic Wand Massager. If you don't already own a wand massager, you can save some money and buy them in a convenient combo – Item #164M Hammerhead Vibrating Stroker.
The stroker measures 1.75 inches wide and 3.75 inches long. Made from TPR, the stroker is soft and flexible for your comfort and stretchy enough to handle even the largest men.
Adam & Eve recommends the Hammerhead Stroker Attachment for male masturbation.
The male stroker is compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based and silicone-based sex lubes. After use, wash the stroker thoroughly in warm, soapy water and flush it clean. Let the sex toy dry before storing it in a secure and discreet location.

The ONE...
"If you want a shoe that immediately feels amazing (like millions of microscopic clouds are simultaneously hugging your feet) then there's nothing quite like Saucony's Ride series shoe, especially the 3.This running shoe is what I consider to be an all-purpose shoe for everything. While it might not excel at any one single task 100% better than all others, it is still easily in the TOP 5% of EVERY category when it comes to running shoes.I should mention that for every day running/long-runs only, that off the bat it could be considered a "heel-striker's" shoe and since I am a forefoot runner, it is a noticeable trait, however I personally love this since it makes all the difference in the world each time I catch my breath and walk, or jog slowly.The shoe requires NO orthotics of any kind in order to maximize comfort, but that being said- if you wanted to use an insole you should note that the heel cup is fairly shallow, which means your heel could easily pop out if your insole is too thick.The outsole has fantastic grip and traction on a variety of surfaces from light trail to wet pavement and the upper is flexible with plenty of room in the toe box area, which for people have an exceptionally long 2nd toe (self-excluded) this is a plus. Although the length does seem to run a bit longer than normal, it does not affect the flex-point at all and I've never tripped while using these.All in all my favorite shoe of all time for all-around purposes."

Remember the scene in Back to School where Rodney Dangerfield's millionaire character hires Kurt Vonnegut to help him write a paper about the works of Kurt Vonnegut? Or the scene in Annie Hall where Woody Allen pulls Marshall McClune out of nowhere to settle an argument with some idiot outside a movie theater? If only that happened in real life.
But wait a minute, I forgot, it does happen in real life now that the Science & Entertainment Exchange is up and running. Hollywood professionals really do have that kind of quick access to top experts across all areas of science.
That's right, the Exchange is like a giant talent agency whose A-list clients work for free. And the Exchange is about more than just coming up with convincing technical jargon for Jessica Alba to spout so we'll believe she's a nuclear physicist! Actually, that may not be the best example because, as it turns out, Jessica Alba really is a nuclear physicist, kind of like Harrison Ford is a carpenter in his spare time. In fact, I understand they're currently collaborating on a really lovely walnut-paneled plasma fusion reactor. But here's my point. Scientists are visionaries, not to mention the fact that we need them to save us from all the real-life looming disasters that are so much fun to watch in movies. To be honest, I'm only in this so that when they invent stuff my family gets it first, but I digress.
The really great thing about these scientists is that because their brains are exactly two-and-a-half times the size of the average person's in the movie business (although in fairness, that also includes talent agents), they are actually more creative and therefore much better at coming up with science-related ideas for movies than our so-called "creative community." I don't mean to offend anyone but as much as I loved Slumdog Millionaire, it's no Viagra. Often, science gets tacked on like wallpaper in a story, but when it's really integrated into the narrative it can take things in surprising new directions. And thanks to the Exchange and the National Academy of Sciences, research just became much more fun.
Still, I'm a little concerned. The Exchange offers so much, I feel like my Secret Santa just gave me a ride on the space shuttle when all I got her was a Pollo Loco gift certificate. In other words, with the Exchange working really hard to bring a little more science to Hollywood, maybe we should try to ante up and bring a little more Hollywood to science. So here are some possible ways we could help scientists and even things up a little…
GIVE THEM NOTES. Think of how much we've all benefited from receiving endless pages of development notes from a movie studio or TV network. Let's replace the scientific community's antiquated "peer review" process with a Hollywood-style system that allows even the most acclaimed veteran scientists to receive helpful feedback from 19-year-old summer interns.
STAR POWER. Stop green-lighting research just because it promises to revolutionize our understanding of the universe or cure deadly diseases. The important question is: whose name is above the title? Theorems should always have big-name scientists attached, like Stephen Hawking! Bill Nye! Or that mathematics guy from A Beautiful Mind. Science, like Hollywood, should finance scientists based on how their last experiment did. Perhaps they could even pre-sell the foreign rights to new research to help minimize the risk.
TARGET TEENS. Okay, maybe Pluto's NOT a planet. But what's that going to mean to the average snowboarder? Will mapping the human genome make freshman girls hotter? Let's not forget the most important science of all: demographics.
MORE SMACK DOWNS. Say what you will about the WWE, they keep those wrestling fans involved. How? Cage matches. Behind the scenes scheming. Simmering rivalries. What if a couple of Nobel Prize winners were holding a press conference and suddenly they started breaking folding chairs over each other's heads? Or smashing atoms or something. Not that, but something like that. I'm just brainstorming here. Why not pit scientists against each other? Maybe a show called Fe Chef. (Fe is the symbol for iron – get it?). Or Who Wants to Marry a Cell Biologist?
Great stuff, don't you think, and these ideas just scratch the surface of possibilities. With more time I'm sure my head of development will be able to do even better. Anyway, we're here to help, and we want this to be a two-way street. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Love these!
"I have the Seychelles sandle in all 3 colors (brown,black,yellow). I absolutely love them and they are fabulous with shorts, jeans, capris, you name it! I have to agree with another poster though...the side strap on my brown pair came out of the heal. I was so disappointed. I bought another pair because I just loved them, so hopefully they'll make it through the summer. I've had the black pair for 2 summers with no issue."

Great Casual Wedge!
"I love this brand, first of all, but I have to be honest. This is my 2nd time buying this exact shoe. I purchased it first in February (its now June) and wore it so much the strap on the side where it attaches to the heel of the shoe pulled out. It doesn't look poorly made and I was very happy with the shoe prior, so I've purchased it again. If it does happen again, I'll make sure to review this shoe with an update."

SnowAngel ......... good to hear that you are fine.
Fezziwig ... sorry to hear about your vacation home but thank goodness you're okay.
Hope other posters in the New York area are okay. Has Ornamentmaven checked in? A lot of people are still without power ... I still haven't heard from an Uncle who lives there.
Still no power to lots of homes, petrol rationing and queues and now looters in Rockaway !!
Click....... Still haven't heard from my relatives.
Hope all is well with OM ....
Horrible storm, the worst ever to hit our area. The Jersey Shore and Long Island were hit very hard. A resulting, hugh fire destroyed 100 homes in Queens. Gas lines everywhere. It is amazing that some areas had no damage or outages, while others were decimated.
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Thanks, Steph
The Governor of my State started up fuel rationing the other day and it seems like the long lines are starting to lower. The rationing, for those curious, are odd and even days. A standard American license plate would be like G0H-T4G, as the last numerical digit is 4, an even number, you would get fuel on an even day (the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc of the month) So basically it cut the number of people eligible to get fuel on a given day in half. The lines are still long but manageable (still about an HOUR wait!)
We still have yet to head to the shore to inspect the damage but my mother spoke with a neighbor of ours down there and it sounds like the shore house has to be demolished. I have held out hope that it could be repaired, my brother-in-law and I we construction contractors, but it isn't looking good. We are waiting for insurance adjusters to head down there and see what can be done, unfortunately we are not eligible for FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) money as the house is not a primary residence.
I really hope the Christmas spirit hits this area .. we could use it.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens
Hope everything works out for you Fezziwig

Metalworking Industry Flattens
13. February 2013
With a reading of 49.7, the MBI showed that business activity in the metalworking industry was virtually flat in January 2013 compared with December 2012, but the industry clearly has broken out of the downward trend it began last March. Every subindex contributed to the improvement in the overall index in January.
New orders made the biggest jump, moving to 52.6 from 41.9. Production nearly matched the improvement in new orders, increasing to 50.4 from 42.3. This is the first time these subindices have grown since June and August, respectively. Despite the growth in new orders, backlogs contracted for the 10th month, but this contraction was noticeably slower. Exports continue to contract as the dollar remains relatively strong compared with most world currencies. After two months of contraction, employment in the metalworking industry has grown the last two months. Supplier deliveries continued to lengthen at the same rate, indicating widespread strength in manufacturing industries.
While the overall index has contracted for seven months, performance has been split based on shop size. Facilities with fewer than 50 employees have been contracting for some time, while facilities with more than 50 employees have begun growing. The period of contraction has been the longest for facilities with fewer than 19 employees. Most regions of the country are still contracting, but the East North Central and the West North Central both started growing in January.
While the metalworking industry as a whole is still contracting, there are end markets that are growing, including aerospace (56.1); automotive (52.5); construction machinery (55.3); electronics (50.3); forming and fabricating (53.4), and pumps, valves and plumbing products (54.8).

Every year, the teams snubbed by the NCAA tournament selection committee get a few hours in the Selection Sunday spotlight before everyone forgets about them and shifts their attention to the 68 (used to be 65) teams that did make the field.
ONE-STOP SHOP: Selection Sunday setup
PRINTABLE BRACKET: Get a head start on the tourney
As the 2013 tournament approaches, USA TODAY Sports honors these teams by listing the 10 biggest snubs in NCAA tournament history. We also remind every ignored team, past and present, to stop whining. A snub in March usually represents a missed opportunity from November.
Drexel, 2012 (27-6):
What do 19 wins in your last 20 games get you? If you were Drexel in 2012, nothing but an NIT berth. The Dragons had the most wins of any team ever left out of the tournament.
Harvard, 2011 (23-7):
The Crimson's résumé wasn't overtly impressive until you compared it to other teams that earned an at-large invitation (UAB, in particular). Many analysts thought Harvard also deserved the spot that went to VCU. The Rams ended up advancing to the Final Four.
Virginia Tech, 2010 (23-7):
Of all the years Seth Greenberg had to complain about his Hokies missing out on an invite, the 2010 season was the most egregious. Virginia Tech finished ahead of at-large teams Wake Forest and Georgia Tech in the ACC standings, but were felled, as usual, by a weak non-conference SOS.
Syracuse, 2007 (22-10):
Is this the most famous snub in NCAA tournament history? If so, it's because of the reaction it earned from coach Jim Boeheim. "You look at the numbers, and it's hard to believe," Boeheim said. "But it's done, there's no use in talking about it," he continued, still talking about it. "It doesn't do any good to get angry," he finished, angrily.
Missouri State, 2006 (20-8):
The Bears' RPI rating of 21 was the best of any team ever left out of the tournament.
Hofstra, 2006 (20-8):
Hofstra defeated George Mason twice in the final two weeks of the 2006 season, once at home and once in the CAA tournament. But on Selection Sunday, the Pride watched Mason get an at-large berth and then witnessed its conference foe go on the greatest Cinderella run in tournament history.
Utah State, 2004 (24-3):
The Aggies were believed to be the first ranked team to not earn a berth into the modern tournament.
Richmond, 2001 (21-6):
Because of a pending move to the Atlantic 10, the CAA's outright regular-season champion wasn't allowed to compete in the conference tournament. Then, for good measure, the NCAA snubbed the Spiders on Selection Sunday.
Gonzaga, 1998 (23-9):
The No. 1 Bulldogs have played in every NCAA tournament since 1999. Folks in Spokane think the streak should have started one year earlier, when Dan Monson's team went to the WCC finals and defeated No. 5 Clemson at the start of the year.
Oklahoma (1994):
The Sooners were in disbelief when their RPI ranking of 33 didn't earn a bid into the '94 tournament. They'd have been less surprised when they remembered that their record was a pedestrian 15-12. "I don't even have any reaction," coach Billy Tubbs said. "I'm past the reaction." He resigned less than a month later.
