There are few occasions when the city is more alive than during Fashion Week. So whether you are planning a showcase, catwalk, product launch or after party, take a look at these great venues and snap up a booking while you can.
Found in the heart of the iconic West End, 93 Mortimer Street is a beautiful venue, unique for its striking blend of modern and period architectural styles. Some of the best features include triple height ceilings in places, ensuring the space feels bright and airy, as well as the baroque/rococo skylights, again adding to the feeling of spaciousness. Its great location means it is well connected to the wider city, with Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street reachable in just 3 and 10 minutes respectively.
14 Greek Street, just 4 minutes from Tottenham Court Road tube station in the heart of the ever popular Soho, is hired out rarely and selectively, meaning much notoriety and media attention has befallen the events that have been held here in the past, which could prove to be a massive coup for your brand. The interior space is all at ground floor level for maximum cohesion, whilst the style and finish have been kept intentionally minimalist to allow for creative input and adaptability.
Noho Studios is one of the newest blank canvas style venues in the West End, once again allowing for customisation of the simple, white walled space. That's not to say it's lacking in its own sense of character however, with touches such as the high ceilings and brick arches adding charm. The shop window space and fully brandable frontage help to really make the space your own and entice prospective buyers in, providing maximum exposure to really get your name out there.
Rosenfeld Porcini boasts 3000 square feet of event space spread across 2 floors. The contemporary style complemented by simple yet effective architectural touches means it lends itself perfectly to fashion shows and showcases in particular, with a maximum capacity allowing for up to 300 guests. There is a fully functioning kitchen onsite, meaning you can also organise catering with ease. Being found in the dynamic gallery district of Fitzrovia, known for its creative edge, you'd no doubt be in good company and well placed to attract visitors.
White Space is located on Leicester Square, just a mere stone's throw from the tube station of the same name, meaning it's very well connected to the rest of London and therefore within easy reach for all your guests. Facilities in the 2 modern spaces include a state-of-the-art integrated lighting and PA system, for all your production needs, as well as a technical back-of-house area from which to prep. By now, the team at White Space are well versed in running a successful event, and they will be on-hand to make things run as smoothly as possible.

Polite Provisions
When approached by our client with the concept of an intellectually stimulating, 1930's soda fountain-inspired bar in San Diego's University Heights neighborhood, BASILE immediately went to work on reinforcing the site's neglected and unsound structure. After peeling back layers of woodwork and façade, an entirely new building was ultimately created within the framework of the original 1920s-era home underneath. Once the building's timber A-frame was exposed, steel support beams were retrofitted and a new glass ceiling installed. The façade was transformed with floor-to-ceiling brass and steel windows inspired by antique wood paneled doors, bringing light into the space and emphasizing the venue's neighborhood vibe. Numerous custom details lend themselves to its vintage vibe, including oak wood wainscotting accented with gold medallions, marble floor with brass inlay and reclaimed sculptured candelabra columns sandblasted to their original casted brass. The 100-foot marble bar is lined with custom-cast iron, velvet-cushioned stools and topped with BASILE built glass and mirrored Lazy Susans. Behind it a massive, state-of-the-art 46-tap system serves beer, wine, spirits and coffee. Through the use of timeless materials and a strong urban aesthetic, BASILE created an award-winning relaxed corner bar with modern elements inspired by classic details.

Definitely, make out and snuggle would be a perfect end to a weekend winding down.
Da fuck no
If it was a certain someone then they could do whatever they want. Just not at my house though. Haha
I'm 17, and I still live with my strict parents. There would be NO privacy. They would be in our faces all day. lol
No, I have to go to the gym after I finish this coffee. It's leg day. Ain't nobody got time for making out on leg day.
If he's hot, fosho. If he's my boyfriend, fosho. If he's just a friend, I'd shove him. If he was really creepy, slap the shit out of him.
If that guy is my boyfriend then yes 😊

I know some of us have been scared of indoor plants, but it's time to reclaim. The ideas of indoor plants with cascading creeper that can dress up any bathroom perfectly. This one is the most popular one among them. It is suitable for nature lover.
The construction style of bathroom in which plants are involved, means small hubs and decorative plants are placed which is known as garden fresh style. While coming to the cost it can be affordable. A traditional way bathroom vanity often looks fresh as a daisy with a coat of spring green paint. Since green paint is everywhere, it looks very greenly. Howtodecoratebathroom provides greate info about this subject
It is eco friendly since the vanity has two different depths, the doors and drawers accommodate the limited space with a hand crafted, vintage sensibility. It is developed by the method from old ages where we use to grow plants in house from that concept it has arrived. The cost may vary from choice of selection. As it says garden there are huge different styles within it. A marble counter- top will add timeless contrast to the particular graphic wallpaper which blooms above the vanity.

On the Friday Gillmor Gang, we discussed a decentralized Twitter. It was both constructive and sometimes contentious.
Chris Saad discussed his idea (GetPingd) — an interesting approach that got short shrift on the call. Bob Lee had some idea on how to do more with Jabber.
A couple more things (some of which I articulated on the call).
Twitter is not micro-blogging. It can be used for micro-blogging, but it is a different animal completely. It isn't instant-messaging either, though it is used for that a lot. As a result, if you are trying to improve it — or replace it — don't try to force it into these other paradigms.
Why do I say this isn't just micro-blogging or IM? Look at the user contracts:
- Blogging has a simple Subscribe/Unsubscribe contract. Twitter has block / track / direct messages (and soon filter).
- IM generally has a friend approval mechanism to receive IM's. That is if you want updates from me through IM, I have to say it is OK. Twitter allows this "private updates" feature, but the default is open.
Don't try to architect a better Twitter by ignoring these contracts — your service will fail.

France takes on Britain's former 'US wingman' role over Syria
Britain has abandoned its longtime role as America's loyal 'wingman' after Parliament halted Cameron's march to war against Assad
In the 2003 Iraq war, France refused to join the US-led coalition against Saddam Hussein, while Britain, as usual, fought fiercely alongside the Americans.
Many Americans made fun of the French, speaking of "cheese-eating surrender monkeys", and "freedom fries" becoming the nom de guerre of French fries in Washington.
Ten years later, however, France is pressing for military action in Syria and happy to fight alongside the Americans against President Bashar al-Assad, while the British will not take part in any military action, joining the Germans on the sidelines.
The outcome is especially bizarre because Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain joined President Francois Hollande of France in strongly pushing US President Barack Obama to act more boldly in Syria - to provide arms to the rebels, to consider a no-fly zone, to strike hard in response to the alleged use of chemical weapons.
Cameron's activism far outstripped Britain's teamwork with the US on the Iraq war, for which bitter Britons referred to prime minister Tony Blair as president George W. Bush's poodle.
"On this issue Britain wasn't Obama's poodle but his Rottweiler," said Robin Niblett, the director of Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
"We and the French were pushing Obama on Syria to arm the opposition, lift the embargoes and strike back."
Vincent Desportes, a retired French general and former director of the School of War, said: "The United States and France are truly in the same boat, in the same difficulty, and this difficulty is that of the credibility and place of the West in the world."
For France, he said, it is an occasion to tell the Americans that "we weren't with you in Iraq because we didn't believe in it, but now we are going with you because we do".
Britain, however, has degraded its position and credibility, he said. While France is reasserting its claim to be a global power, Britain, he said, appears to be stepping back.
The British-French turnabouts raise questions about whether the European strategic landscape has changed, especially after both Britain and France led the way in Libya in 2011 and the French took on the fight against al-Qaeda and its associates in the former French colony of Mali this year.
For Niblett, the answer is no for the French, but less clear for the British. "If there were one place in the world where the French would go along with the United States," he said, "it would be Syria," a former French mandate territory next to Lebanon.
Paris has been forceful in demanding that Iran live up to United Nations Security Council resolutions on the nuclear issue and believes in defending international norms, such as the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Chemical Weapons Convention. "And this is limited," Niblett said. "This not a George W. Bush let's remake the Middle East moment and would represent a strong defence of an international treaty and norms on chemical weapons."
As for Britain, however, he is more troubled, while saying Cameron's defeat in Parliament was partly self-inflicted and came from bad management of his majority. "This reflects a deep scarring from Afghanistan and Iraq, where British forces were key and fought hard.
"There is a strong view in the commentariat, perhaps not a majority, that says that we can't fix these bloody, intractable problems in the Middle East so why are we trying to do it?"
Still, he said, "For the UK to step back from being the US wingman on deterrence issues is important."
Jonathan Krause, a lecturer in strategic studies at the Royal Air Force College, said people "underestimate how important France has been as a military force in the Mediterranean and in its fight against Islamism in Mali", he said.
"The French did a lot of heavy lifting in the operation in Libya. Combined with successful operation in Mali, this seems to have emboldened them.
"France is no longer as isolationist or Gaullist as they were a decade ago - there seems to be a renewed French effort to fulfil their desired role as a major European power," Krause said.

Join Trio Speranza on Mar. 22 as they close the 13th annual Early Music Series which features highly acclaimed musicians performing music from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods with their "Stylus Phantasticus: Old and New" performance. Admission is $18 for adults and is available at the door only via cash or check (no credit cards). To inspire early appreciation for the arts, children under 16 are admitted free.
"Stylus Phantasticus: Old and New" explores the enigmatic musical world of Northern Europe with a sojourn through works by Germanic composers. Dieterich Buxtehude's compositions exemplify this 'fantastic style' that influenced contemporaries and successive generations of composers. Trio Speranza (Anna Griffis, violin; Cora Swenson Lee, cello; Jason Moy, harpsichord) explores the Stylus Phantasticus from its roots in Buxtehude through the tempestuous early works of J.S. Bach, and its evolution into the Galant style of Telemann, Abel, and others.
Trio Speranza is a dynamic new ensemble dedicated to presenting engaging and thought-provoking performances of both familiar and lesser-known repertoire from the Baroque era. The group made their debut in a Boston Early Music Festival Fringe Concert at the historic Trinity Church on Copley Square in the summer of 2013. They reprised their program of French Baroque chamber music by Barriere, Francoeur, Leclair and Boismortier with two performances in Chicago in early 2014, and are thrilled to be back this season in the hometown of both Jason Moy and Cora Swenson Lee.
Trio Speranza was awarded the Early Music America 2014 Baroque Performance Competition Presentation Prize, which recognizes the most innovative concert experience combining inventive programming, compelling program notes, and undeniable stage presence. Anna Griffis (violin), Cora Swenson Lee (cello), and Jason Moy (harpsichord) are all prolific Early Music performers and have collaborated extensively before forming Trio Speranza in Boston in 2013. Collectively, they hold degrees from McGill University, Boston University, Lawrence University, the Hartt School, and the Eastman School of Music, and regularly appear with respected Early Music ensembles around the country, including Boston Baroque, La Follia, Tempesta di Mare, the Newberry Consort, and New Trinity Baroque, among others. Trio Speranza has appeared in concert at Trinity Church Copely in Boston as part of the Boston Early Music Festival, as well as Quigley Chapel and DePaul University in Chicago. Come see this award-winning ensemble at the Byron Colby Barn!
Incredible music and architectural beauty combine to create a unique concert experience at the Byron Colby Barn. The Byron Colby Barn is located at 1561 Jones Point Road in Grayslake, inside the Prairie Crossing conservation community. From I-94 north, exit Route 120 west, turn south at Route 45, then right at Jones Point Road. Ample free parking is located in the parking lot adjacent to the Barn. Audience members are welcome to bring a bottle of wine to share with friends during performances. Click here to learn more about the Early Music Series at the Byron Colby Barn.

Hello, fabric enthusiasts! I'm Tanya from the sewing blog, Mrs. Hughes. I love vintage fashions and wearing retro dresses, but I tend to stick with the "fit & flare" silhouette. I stepped a little out of my comfort zone with the Colette Phoebe — a 1960's style shift dress/jumper. I wanted to add a detail to this dress without changing the pattern design and its retro style, so I decided to sew a button-on-belt and share how I made it with you.
I've seen this belt detail on vintage shift dresses, but I've also noticed it on vintage coats as a functional belt that buttons on the front. This belt, however, is just an embellishment that turns an otherwise simple dress into one with an interesting focal point.
You don't need any specialized tools to make this belt – basically a ruler, a seam gauge, a measuring tape, a marking implement, pins, needles, thread, fabric, buttons and of course, your pattern.
Following the directions, sew up the Colette Phoebe, version 2. I made mine with a few adjustments: added 3" to the skirt length, swayback adjustment, and a slit on the neckline as I found it a little too restrictive. I made this dress with Robert Kaufman linen from the Caroline Friedlander collection.
Decide where you want to place your belt and measure for the length and width that you'd like your band to be. I decided to place mine on the waistband, centering between the bodice and skirt. My dress is a size 20/22, and my belt is 12" long and 3 ½" wide.
Add seam allowances to your measurements and mark your belt measurements on your fabric (double thickness). I added ½" seam allowances to mine, marking a 13" x 4 ½" piece.
Now that you know what size you need for your belt, cut out two pieces.
Place both pieces right sides together and pin.
Sew them together, leaving a small opening. I left mine on the bottom. Make sure you have a big enough gap to turn the piece to the right side.
Trim the seam allowances and turn the belt to the right side. Use something with a pointy (but not too sharp edge) and make sure the points are turned out nicely. Press the belt band.
Hand sew the opening closed. I used small stitches and made them more visible on one side then the other, so the "better" side will be on the outside of my dress.
Place and pin the belt on your dress to ensure you like how it looks. If you're not happy with the size, you can always go back and make another band.
Figure out how many buttons that you want on your belt, mark where you want them, and sew buttonholes. If you prefer to sew your buttons directly on to your belt and dress, skip this step. You can also topstitch the edges of your belt at this point if that's your preference.
Pin your belt to your dress. I marked the centers of both my belt and my dress to make sure I had it centered correctly.
Sew your buttons on.
Voila! You have your button-on-belt and a truly vintage detail on your Phoebe dress and it takes your simple dress up to a new level.
Thank you to Harts Fabric, Robert Kaufman and Colette Patterns for this awesome project!

Estimating the long-term effects of in vitro fertilization in Greece: an analysis based on a lifetime-investment model

Objective: To quantify the economic effects of a child conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) in terms of net tax revenue from the state's perspective in Greece.
Methods: Based on previous international experience, a mathematical model was developed to assess the lifetime productivity of a single individual and his/her lifetime transactions with governmental agencies. The model distinguished among three periods in the economic life cycle of an individual: (1) early life, when the government primarily contributes resources through child tax credits, health care, and educational expenses; (2) employment, when individuals begin returning resources through taxes; and (3) retirement, when the government expends additional resources on pensions and health care. The cost of a live birth with IVF was based on the modification of a previously published model developed by the authors. All outcomes were discounted at a 3% discount rate. The data inputs – namely, the economic or demographic variables – were derived from the National Statistical Secretariat of Greece and other relevant sources. To deal with uncertainty, bias-corrected uncertainty intervals (UIs) were calculated based on 5000 Monte Carlo simulations. In addition, to examine the robustness of our results, other one-way sensitivity analyses were also employed.
Results: The cost of IVF per birth was estimated at €17,015 (95% UI: €13,932–€20,200). The average projected income generated by an individual throughout his/her productive life was €258,070 (95% UI: €185,376–€339,831). In addition, his/her life tax contribution was estimated at €133,947 (95% UI: €100,126–€177,375), while the discounted governmental expenses for elderly and underage individuals were €67,624 (95% UI: €55,211–€83,930). Hence, the net present value of IVF was €60,435 (95% UI: €33,651–€94,330), representing a 182% net return on investment. Results remained constant under various assumptions for the main model parameters.
Conclusion: State-funded IVF may represent good value for money in the Greek setting, since it has positive tax benefits for the government, notwithstanding its beneficial psychological effect on infertile couples.

Off the Record with Rob Frith and Howie VickersPosted by: Angela Yen on November 21, 2016 / 5:07 PM
On November 17, 2016 the Museum of Vancouver invited another All Together Now contributor to stop by and discuss their passions and what they collect. Rob Frith, owner of Neptoon Records and a collector of hundreds of rare gig concert posters, expanded the focus of the talk to the era of music he loves - the 1960s and1970s.
Joining Frith was local music icon, Howie Vickers of the psychedlic group The Collectors. Together they chatted about Vickers's start in the music industry and what the music scene was like in Vancouver during the heyday of the psychedelic era.
The discussion extended to the audience who shared their own memories and asked detailed questions about Vickers's first hand experience of "making it" in the industry. The audience included interviewer and music enthusiast, Nardwuar who was eager to ask a few questions himself including what it was like to open for eclectic singer/songwriter Tiny Tim (see video below).
Thank you to Frith for conducting a fascinating and personal look at the Vancouver music scene and for giving the audience a taste of what the times felt and looked like with a series of gorgeous concert handbills that are now available for purchase at the MOV Gift Shop.
You can check out more of Frith's collection in the exhibition All Together Now: Vancouver Collectors & Their Worlds, on view until January 8, 2017.

BEFORE the excitement of the weekend's football comes around once more, Craig Fowler and Craig Cairns of The Terrace Scottish Football Podcast look back over the past six days and select the winners and losers.
John Guidetti (Celtic)
Highlight: Netted four goals in two games
He's quickly becoming a regular in this section. His hat-trick on Wednesday took him to eight goals in eight games, but you feel that Celtic will be the losers if he continues in this vein as they will struggle to keep him. He's out of contract in the summer which means teams will be free to speak to him in January. They have to get him signed up before that happens. £5 million - the transfer fee slapped on his head by Manchester City - is a massively inflated price for a player with an expiring deal. However, Guidetti is good enough that it will still look like a great piece of business a few years down the line. He's still only 22. CC
Darren McGregor (Rangers)
Highlight: Played his part in consecutive Rangers clean sheets
He really wasn't fancied much coming into the season, and even less so when he was shunted out to right back, but since starting in the centre in place of Bilel Mohsni, he's been excellent. His quickness compensates the lack of pace of Lee McCulloch, while he's proven to be much more solid and reliable than either Mohsni or Marius Zaliukas. The Rangers fans love his underdog story since he's battled back from two serious knee injuries. CF
Alim Ozturk (Hearts)
Highlight: Scored one of the greatest Edinburgh derby goals of all time
What a goal! The consensus among the Hearts support seems to be that he has been trying this week-in-week-out, including in training, but has been wildly inaccurate with most of them. It's the law of the Edinburgh derby that he saved it for an injury-time equaliser against Hibs.
Aside from the strike it could be argued he was Hearts best player on Sunday. There have been questions marks surrounding his concentration, but it should be remembered he's one of the few Hearts signings this summer to have never played in Britain before - Soufian El Hassnaoui and the little used Miguel Pallardo being the others. It's only natural it should take him longer to settle in. CC
Scott Allan (Hibs)
Highlight: Two man of the match worthy performances within the last seven days
His manager could easily get a loser of the week for having barely played him up until the last couple of weeks. It's clear the class which marked him out as a sparkling Scottish prospect is still there. Terrific skill, excellent passing and physically he's not too bad either. Excellent on Sunday and followed it up with an even better performance against Dundee United. CF
Ash Taylor (Aberdeen)
Highlight: Big improvement in his game the last seven days
He's faced much criticism since he signed, deservedly so, but he helped Aberdeen to their first clean sheet in five matches at the weekend and to another on Wednesday night. His performance against Hamilton Accies was described by Richard Gordon as the best he's seen him play. This could have been helped by a more pragmatic approach from his manager, who's gone back to the more defensively robust 4-2-3-1 of last season, giving him more protection. CC
John Souttar (Dundee United)
Highlight: Made a return from injury to start in Dundee United's penalty shoot-out win over Hibs
Obviously he's not responsible for United scoring three goals, but it's not a coincidence United began to look like an attacking, attractive football team once again with him in the line-up. He's just such a great football player and it allows them to build from the back more effectively. Considering the poor form of Callum Morris in the last couple of weeks Jackie McNamara has to be giving serious contention to giving Souttar an extended run at centre back. CF
Soufian El Hassnaoui (Hearts)
Low point: Substituted in the Edinburgh derby after an ineffective 55 minutes
The derby wasn't the right game for him, especially since it's clear he's still getting used to the frenetic pace of this country. Scottish football games are fast in general; Edinburgh derbies are Scottish football games on crack. He seems to have the attributes to turn quickly or provide quick, first-time passes and one-twos. On Sunday he was expected to drop in and provide an extra body in midfield and help scrap against Hibs, who had more bodies in the area. He just isn't dynamic enough for such a role. CF
Manuel Pascali (Kilmarnock)
Low point: Sent off in Kilmarnock's 2-0 loss at Celtic
He had the decency to admit his mistake and take the blame for the defeat, but you feel that with the run Kilmarnock were on, and the fact that Celtic have struggled after European nights, that they could have got something from the game had they kept eleven players on the field. Killie were playing well up until the incident. In hindsight he should have let Stefan Scepovic have a pop at goal. CC
Nadir Ciftci (Dundee United)
Low point: Poor performance at Easter Road after starting from the bench
He was frustrated by Dundee United having none of the ball in the 1-0 defeat to Inverness and it's possible he became a bit stroppy after being dropped to the bench for the Hibs game. Even though the game was much more wide open than United have been used to lately, he still performed very poorly despite having 100 minutes (after replacing Gary Mackay-Steven) to impose himself. And remember this was the same ground where he utterly dominated the opposing centre backs in a Friday night football game last season. He should have been raring to go. CF
John Sutton (Motherwell)
Low point: Ineffective in Motherwell's 1-0 loss to Aberdeen
At times he looked unwilling to close down the Aberdeen defenders last Friday and, especially when your team is playing that badly and you, as a striker, are not scoring goals, you really need to be trying harder than that.
Sutton is a goalscorer and no much else: poor pace, average in the air, struggles to hold the ball up, little mobility. He's not missing chances, his teammates aren't creating for them, but until Stuart McCall can figure out how to fix that problem he needs to come out of the starting XI. CC

Last December, the Connecticut Supreme Court held in Desrosiers v. Diageo North America, Inc., 314 Conn. 773 (2014), that the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §46a-51 et seq., prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals whom they perceive to be physically disabled regardless of whether the individual has an actual physical disability as defined under the Act. Despite the Court's apparent expansion of the state's anti-discrimination laws, the Appellate Court's recent decision in Eaddy v. City of Bridgeport, 156 Conn. App. 597 (2015), suggests that it may not be easy for plaintiffs to succeed on "perceived" disability claims.
In Eaddy, the plaintiff was a former probationary police officer who brought an employment discrimination action against the City of Bridgeport following the termination of her employment. The plaintiff initially received "very good ratings on various qualities" as a probationary officer until an incident with another officer occurred, which resulted in the plaintiff's voluntary psychiatric admission to a hospital. The plaintiff ultimately remained hospitalized for 10 days and then was directed by the chief of police to submit to a psychological evaluation, whereby a report was prepared. Upon a review of the psychological report, as well as reports from other police officers "express[ing] concern over the plaintiff's ability to provide competent support and backup during potentially urgent situations," the plaintiff's employment with the City was terminated. The plaintiff alleged that the City unlawfully terminated her because it regarded her as having a mental disability when in fact she had suffered from an "acute psychological stress reaction" which had been medically resolved by the time of her termination. The City argued that it terminated the plaintiff because she was not "fit" to be a police officer. The trial court entered judgment in favor of the City noting that while there were numerous differences between the plaintiff's version of events and the version described by her fellow officers, "none of those differences serve to establish that the plaintiff was suffering from an existing or perceived 'mental disability' as those words are defined in [the Act]."
On appeal, the Appellate Court agreed in finding that the plaintiff did not prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the City regarded her as having a mental disability as defined in C.G.S. § 46a-51(20) of the Act, which defines "mental disability" as "an individual who has a record of, or is regarded as having one or more mental disorders, as defined in . . . the American Psychiatric Association's 'Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.'" Despite the plaintiff's claim that the City regarded her as mentally disabled in part based on the psychological report, the Appellate Court found nothing erroneous in the trial court's conclusions and instead deferred to the trial court's credibility assessment of the plaintiff and the other witnesses. The Court held: "[T]he [trial] court reasonably could have concluded that the plaintiff was not perceived to be suffering from a mental disorder defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but rather from a more general lack of requisite temperament."

Freedom. I'm constantly motivated by it. In my more disordered years, I thought "freedom" meant ending my binge eating, slipping into the tiniest size possible and perhaps not needing to eat at all! Thankfully I was able to find my way out of that mindset! Further along down the road, "freedom" looked like abandoning every food rule I'd ever adopted. I spent years aching and striving for a state of perfection and my mind was filled to the brim with all the "facts" about what I "should" be doing: "Eat all raw foods!…Scrap that, just drink juice!…Y'know what, you might as well just be a breatharian, transcending your need for food will totally get you out of this mess."
I wanted to be free as a bird. No food rules, no schedule and nobody telling me how to live my life.
So with my dietary agenda scrapped in favor of eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, I danced forth into freedom!…or did I? Well, for a little while, it was just the sort of freedom I needed. An opposite extreme to balance out a lifetime of restriction. The binge and emotional eating that I'd struggled with for so long slipped away. And since I was no longer trying to "fix" myself, I realized I could simply love myself as I was. But over time, I had to admit: I didn't feel awesome in my body.
While I once used to wake up feeling sparkly and clear-headed…I was now waking up groggy and tired.
While I once had fairly light and pain-free periods…I now had terrible PMS and heavy bleeding.
While I once felt strong and flexible…I was now experiencing stiffness and increasing joint pain (the most worrisome of all).
So how does one find balance between these worlds? Is it possible to feel completely liberated, love oneself, have no issues with binge and compulsive eating and live in a body that feels amazing (even if it takes a little more intention)?
I'm still in the experimental phase but so far I want to say "yes"! It is at the very least, possible to embark on a healing journey without being a crazy person. It's possible to live with restriction and still feel like a free bird. In fact, I would say that true freedom actually thrives with the support of a little gentle discipline.
My mind feels more free with a regular meditative practice.
My work feels more free when I pencil in what needs the most attention.
My body feels more free when I feed it in a way that allows it to thrive.
While I used to be so opposed to any form of "discipline", thinking it hinged on my desire for a free-spirited nature, here's what I've discovered…
When we are trying to "fix" ourselves because we feel we aren't good enough.
When it's based on external knowledge rather than internal wisdom.
When we keep pushing, despite our body saying "no".
When it's rooted in self-acceptance.
When it's stemming from a spirit of curiosity and a desire to feel the way we want to feel.
When it brings us closer to ourselves rather than further away.
Where I used to think that "free" meant no structure, no rules, no discipline…I now realize it means my OWN structure, my OWN rules, my OWN disciplines.
Not discipline for purely external purposes (so I look "good" or have a certain body) but discipline that effects my internal experience (which ends up effecting the external anyways).
I'm disciplined about the way I talk to myself (no disempowering or shaming language here).
I'm disciplined about the rituals that connect me to myself (yoga, fresh air, meditation, writing).
I'm disciplined about eating to feel good (which is holistic and dynamic rather than dogmatic).
How does it feel to you?

Yes, I've coded more dynamic sites than I care to remember.
I'd ask you one question before we even try to go any further:
Do you actually need dynamic content for processes that you cannot do with standard static HTML or XHTML pages and form handlers ?
The reason I ask is that you've opened an enormous can of worms and there is no short and easy road to doing what you want to do.
I'd also mention that if your host supports ASP, PHP and MySQL you stick with PHP and MySQL. The ASP will be Chilisoft and let's not get started on that subject when you can use PHP.
Macromedia have some sample applications that demionstrate using Dreamweaver for dynamic content: click here
There are loads of links and a couple of books I could suggest but, I'd ask you to answer my question above first.
A full tutorial on data driven sites is way beyond the scope of this forum, but I will certainly help with specifics.

The new regional council will promote the venture capital (VC) industry within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.
Backed by some of the most prominent Southeast Asian VC firms, the VC associations of Singapore and Indonesia—the Singapore Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (SVCA) and the Asosiasi Modal Ventura Untuk Start-Up Indonesia (AMVESINDO), respectively—jointly announced the creation of the ASEAN Venture Council (AVC) to foster VC growth in the ASEAN region.[1]
A memorandum of understanding between the SVCA and AMVESINDO was signed in Indonesia on 30 August 2016 at an event attended by President Jokowi Widodo of Indonesia. The memorandum sets out the terms of collaboration in creating the AVC to promote greater collaboration and development of the region's VC industry.
The main goals of the AVC include the following:
- Strengthening and promoting the regional entrepreneurial and financial ecosystem across the ASEAN region
- Facilitating regular updates on regulatory issues
- Lobbying for favorable conditions for the development of the VC industry
The AVC will be formed as an umbrella organization and will comprise various venture associations interested in promoting the ASEAN VC ecosystem. It is already anticipated that other VC associations in the region, including those of Malaysia and Thailand, will join the AVC at a later date.
Southeast Asia's start-up industry is experiencing accelerated growth, with approximately US$800 million committed to tech start-ups in the first half of 2016. Research has indicated that while there is a slowdown in VC investments elsewhere and, notwithstanding the lack of deal activity in India and China, investors are increasingly interested by high-growth countries in Southeast Asia like Myanmar and Vietnam.

I am only kidding; I could never leave Saratoga Springs or my team at Saratoga TODAY. However I have been told on numerous occasions that I should run for office. So, for the fun of it I sat down with a panel of reporters for a hard-hitting interview to tackle some of America's toughest issues.
Let me know if you think I have what it takes.
Q. Mr. Beatty, you are very vocal in your opinions and view of America. What are your reasons for running?
A. Well George, first I want to thank you, your fellow reporters, and my fellow Americans for this opportunity. We live in the greatest nation on earth and this is an honor. Next question?
Q. What are the biggest threats facing America today?
A. Without a doubt, the biggest threat today and in the foreseeable future, is radical Islam. These people live by an ideology that most Americans can't comprehend. They have been fighting a jihad (holy war) for thousands of years and they are not going to stop until it is over; and ''over" means that non-believers have either been converted or eliminated. I want everyone to understand that the hatred is not only directed toward Christians and Jews. These people are just as cruel and vicious to their own people. And don't think that females get a free pass. For a female living in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, etc., life can be a very grim existence. I feel tremendous sympathy for the majority of peace-loving Muslims living in these countries.
Q. How do you feel the Affordable Care Act has influenced healthcare?
A. You mean Obamacare? What a mess. It has personally hit me in the pocket. My healthcare plan, which I liked, was cancelled. Now, for example, my co-pay for a visit to the physical therapist has increased from $4 to $60. What happened to Obama's promise "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it"?
Q. Taxes are a big, and controversial, issue. Do you feel the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes?
A. I suppose it depends on your definition of fair. If the tax rate is flat and you earn twice as much as me, you would pay twice as much as me in taxes. I think that sounds fair. As for the ultra-wealthy, many argue that they should pay much higher tax rates. While I do feel that the ultra-wealthy, as well as all of us, should give back to humanity and engage in philanthropic endeavors, I feel it is up to the individual, not the state, to decide where their money is spent. I know that the majority of all non-profit support in our community already comes from the wealthy, and that is how it should be. On a national level, the top 5 percent of wage earners pays 70 percent of the nation's federal income taxes.
Q. Gay marriage?
A. Hmm, this is a tough one. My religious beliefs say that marriage is between a man and a woman, but I have no problem with another term for same-sex unions. And, they should receive all the same benefits as heterosexual couples. As far as the sexual relationship between same sex couples, it's not my thing. Do I think it is a sin? You know what, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I am certainly in no position to condemn anyone.
Q. While we are on a moral subject, what are your thoughts on women's right to choose?
A. I assume you mean abortion. It is a horrible fact of life. The killing of an innocent, unborn child is never morally positive. In today's society, it seems like we devalue virginity, modesty, sexual relations and human life. My hope would be that women, and girls, value their body more from the beginning and this wouldn't be such an issue. And, for unplanned pregnancies, adoption is a wonderful decision that brings hope and love to thousands of families a year.
Q. With the number of recent shootings, do you think the laws on gun control need to be expanded or tougher?
A. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. But, like anything else, we need common-sense laws and guidelines. I feel that tougher guidelines regarding background checks, mental health, and waiting periods would be a good thing. Cuomo's rushed approach to magazine capacity limits and assault weapon bans is a perfect example of how NOT to handle the process.
Q. There seems to be a humanitarian dilemma on the border. How would you handle this?
A. The borders need to be locked down until we get a handle on this situation and understand the magnitude of the problem. Guess what: unless you were a Native American, we were all immigrants a few centuries ago. Legal immigration is what created this great nation. I am 100 percent for legal immigration. I am 100 percent against illegal immigration. Right now we can't handle our own poverty, crime and addiction issues. The last thing we need is a flood of criminals and terrorists crossing our borders. I am not saying that people crossing the borders are criminals or terrorists, but unless we are in control of the process, we have no idea. If I become your elected official, part of my job, a big part, is to keep you and your family safe, and I feel it begins with our borders.
Q. I would like to hear your views on the military, funding, benefits, the VA, etc.
A. A strong military is the backbone of a free society. They need to be properly funded and taken care of post deployment. Why is it so easy for someone who has never worked a day in his or her life to receive welfare benefits, but a soldier who had his leg blown off in battle has to struggle to get care? This is an embarrassment to the United States. And, I'd like to suggest relocating some of our military bases to the border. We keep our troops on the front lines all over the globe; how about we keep them on the front lines at home? Bottom line is, I have the utmost respect for our men and women in uniform. I want to see them well trained, well staffed, and well taken care of.
Q. Alright, final question: Women in the workplace. How do we break through the glass ceiling?
A. I don't see a glass ceiling anymore. Some of today's most powerful people are women. In entertainment we have Oprah. In politics we have Hillary. In the world of music you have Madonna, who pulled in $125 million last year, making her music's top earner of any gender and the highest-paid celebrity.
If we look at the world of business, female CEO's are running General Motors, IBM, Pepsi, DuPont, Lockheed Martin, Hewlett Packard and Yahoo, to name a few. Looking simply at numbers is deceiving. You must realize that many women choose to stay home and raise a family. It doesn't mean that doors were shut on them. It means they made a choice to give their all to raising their children and running their household. I don't think there is any more important job than that.
Thank you for your time everyone and God Bless America.

July 16 (Reuters) - Intel Corp's shares rose as much as 7 percent to a decade-high, after the world's largest chipmaker forecast quarterly revenue above analysts' estimates on demand from companies looking to replace old PCs.
At least 19 brokerages raised their price targets on the stock to $29-$45, while two brokerages raised their ratings to an equivalent of "buy".
The broker actions came after Intel forecast on Tuesday third-quarter revenue above the average analyst estimate.
Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith told Reuters that PC sales had stabilized, easing fears about the four-year decline in computer sales as consumers turn increasingly to tablets and smartphones.
Intel also raised its share buyback program by $20 billion.
"The company is showing clear growth in its PC segment and acceleration in data center growth, suggesting, we think, better growth potential in Intel's end markets than many investors expect," Wells Fargo analysts wrote in a note.
Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Chris Caso, however, said it would be tough to sustain the near-term strength in PC and data center demand. He maintained his "neutral" rating on the stock.
Of the 46 analysts covering Intel, 18 have a "buy" or equivalent rating on the stock, while 23 have a "hold" or equivalent rating.
Intel's shares were up 6.5 percent at $33.78 in late morning trading on the Nasdaq on Wednesday. The stock has gained more than 32 percent in the 12 months to Tuesday's close. (Reporting by Soham Chatterjee in Bangalore; Editing by Kirti Pandey)

PTSD ...This essay is about the effects of war on a soldier
War will never be pretty or fun. It will always be gruesome and will cause the loss of many lives. Everyone grieves over those lives that were lost, but what about the people that live? What about the people that are in the military hospitals who are now amputees? How about the ones that have psychological problems? What about those who have physical and mental issues? People are often not informed of this. One type of a mental disease is known as PTSD, there is a cause, effects, and treatment to this often carried war disease.
Through out history, war has been defined as a state of…

"Chasin' The Wind nails the colourful and often violent action in both Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba. It navigates corruption and small town politics in the southernmost city of the United States. It bumps into a scheme to topple Cuba's communist government and throws Cuban exiles and military deserters, neurotic federal agents, plus a few unique Key Westers, into a brew that promises international repercussions. When officials sworn to uphold the law try to subvert it in Key West, journalist Liam Michael "Mad Mick" Murphy is compelled to react. He and a ragtag group of citizens confront failed justice, but are left with only revenge as an option – except, perhaps, a renegade deal with the Cuban government. Dodging treachery, Mad Mick Murphy goes headlong toward treason, dragging his team of 'typical' islanders deeper into the mess they wanted to eliminate."For more on Chasin' The Wind, and an insight into the struggle a debut writer goes through to see his or her novel in print, sail on over to Michael's blog. And tell him we sent you, and that our t-shirt size is x-large … Meanwhile, you can read Chapter One here. No, don't thank us, we're only in it for an invite to the launch party in Key West. And a free t-shirt.

Michael Haskins' (right) tag over at Crime Space is 'Irelands32', and if that wasn't enough of a reason to give him a big-up on Crime Always Pays, the protagonist of his upcoming novel, Chasin' The Wind (due in March '08), goes by the more-Irish-than-soft-rain name of Liam 'Mad Mick' Murphy. So what's the deal with Chasin' The Wind? Quoth Michael:

Today is the 20th Anniversary of the horrific crash that took Ayrton Senna's life.
Senna was a Brazilian Formula 1 driver, whom many consider to be the best the sport ever produced. In 161 career starts, he took 65 Pole Positions and won 41 races.
With the recent release of the new racing game Classic Formula 1, I'm developing an interest in this sport. For me, Formula 1 and the history of the sport is largely uncharted territory. I know next to nothing about it. Exploring the history of F1 has been tremendously gratifying, and the stories of Senna's greatness have been especially interesting to this newcomer to the sport.
On this, the 20th anniversary of Senna's death at Imola, Italy, here are a few interesting links that will help put that event into perspective.

The Follower.mp3
Standing here by an open doorway
watching the man on the stage
and his hands reach up to heaven
and he screams out "Jesus Saves!"
and his hands were held aloft
the glitter of his diamond caught my eye
and he said "Won't you come and follow me?"
I said, "No thanks, I'd rather you let me be."
Then I met a man dressed quite poorly
reading a holy book
he knew the laws and scriptures
every teaching and every word
and he followed every rule
said if I didn't – I'd be the fool
and he said "Won't you come and follow me?"
put his point of view, I really couldn't see
Then I saw a man
kneeling in muddy water
and above him stood the man called John
protesting the present situation
and I saw him in the temple
driving the hucksters from the church
and I saw him with the Priests and Scribes
telling them what he thought of all their laws
Then I met him on the street
and his eyes met mine
you could see the Love he had for man
Then I met him on the road
to the place of his death
and the crowd him laughed
and they hit him on the head
and a guard came up to me
he said, "Help him with his cross.
You will bear it to the place of the skull."
So we marched on to Calvary…
we marched on to Calvary.
… and as I walked with the man that I admired
the blood streamed down his back
from the thorns that crowned him King
and in his eyes I saw I once again
the love for man I noticed
on a street in Galilee
and he said, "Follow me!"
I'll never follow a Preacher
I'll never follow a Teacher
but I'll follow the man…
I'll follow the man…
I'll follow the man with perfect Love.
The Follower was a tune I wrote for Passion Sunday. It was performed as a meditation every year for the seventeen years I was leading choirs. The move toward inclusive language in the church hadn't really taken hold at the time this was written… but I have faith in the inclusive power of metaphor and imagination.
Ink Drawing: Was done for the cover of a single, "Listen My People," by the St. John the Apostle Choir in 1981.

This guy has confessed to me that he really likes me but I came back and said I just want to be friends. A few months after that I came to term with my feelings and I've realized that I like him. He flirts with me back and forth, like for ex he recently told me "you're wifey material ;)." I mean doesn't that mean he still likes me?

"Whispering private thoughts and opinions is frowned upon. The company has no offices and prides itself on being "horizontal." When the Mayor returned to his old headquarters, company chairman Peter Grauer wanted to have a private conversation with him in a conference room. Bloomberg resisted, Grauer insisted. Bloomberg reluctantly went in, Grauer closed the door. Early the next week, Grauer came to work to find that the doors to the conference rooms had been removed.
"Not surprisingly, then, few of the more than 30 current and former Bloomberg journalists and executives I spoke to for this article would go on the record.

A new national standard for teachers is making it tougher for them to make the grade.
The new standard was approved last month. It has colleges across the country and right here at home, revamping their education programs. WJBF's News Channel 6's Courtney Elledge has more.
School can be tough for students, but educators say it can be even harder for teachers, especially those who are just starting their careers.
That's why the qualifications for who can educate your child are changing.
Jeff Carney Assistant Superintendent of Columbia County Schools says, "It's going to make it more rigorous. They are not just going to do book work, a few lesson plans and be able to get a certification to teach.
"There's going to be more of an emphasis on classroom management," says Carney.
After a study conducted by the National Council on Teacher Quality, Georgia ranked low on the list of teachers who knew their content and performed well. The NCTQ hopes that creating a new certification process–that includes more testing, especially in the areas of math and English–will eliminate potential teachers who won't make the grade.
Jeff Carney explains, "You've got to have the qualifications, you have got to have the skills that go with that, I have seen a number of passionate teachers that aren't that well-rounded and we end up having to work with them. So anything we can do to get the total package with candidates coming out of college, we're all for that."
Carney says he hopes the new certification process will spark friendly competition among colleges. He says competition breeds success, and Columbia County wants those successful teachers.
Carney says," We want them to know the content, and go deep in the content, so we're meeting all the needs. You've got gifted kids that are going to push teachers and ask tough questions."
In that group's rating system, only four schools scored a "4," which is the highest score.
None of those were in Georgia. That's why local school administrators are welcoming this tougher standard with open arms.

I've been an Indiana Pacers fan as long as I can remember. It was great during the Reggie Miller years, but after the 'Malice at the Palace', it became really difficult. Not only is your favorite team look at as 'thugs', but the years after it was just a mess.
After years of drafting 'high character' guys and signing 'safe' players, things finally turned around for the Pacers when they were lucky enough to draft Roy Hibbert, Paul George and Lance Stephenson. Things didn't work out with Lance in the long-term, but there was hope for George and Hibbert to be a part of the team for a long time.
Well, everything went bad in a hurry.
I'm here to tell you that even though Hibbert was a big part of the Pacers recent success, it's okay to be happy he's no longer on the team. It doesn't make you a fair-weather fan.
Professional sports is big business. Yes, you get attached to players since they bring so much joy as a fan, but sometimes you just have to detach yourself, fast, like ripping off a band-aid.
Hibbert had some big moments, but let's not forget his horrible play during the 2014 postseason. He just pouted that he wasn't getting the ball much. Fingers were pointed at Lance Stephenson for all the chemistry issues, but Hibbert's thin skin could have been the main issue.
The Pacers won't get much in return in the Roy Hibbert trade (probably 2nd rounders and European guys that will never sniff the NBA), but their real return is cap space. They were able to sign Monta Ellis and re-sign Rodney Stuckey and LaVoy Allen.
Contrary to the picture David West painted of the franchise, the future is bright in Indiana. Paul George will be healthy and the new up-tempo pace fits more his style. I also believe first-round draft pick Myles Turner could turn out to be the steal of the draft. He has nice range and can space the floor.
I agree with Indianapolis Star columnist Gregg Doyel, the Hibbert trade is the biggest move the Pacers could have made this offseason. I believe it's a bigger transaction than the Spurs signing of LaMarcus Aldridge. This trade will have a bigger overall impact. You'd be amazed how much a team can improve when you simply rid themselves of a player that didn't want to be there.

while currently owning and playing PS4?
I'm a loyal PS fan who owns a fat PS2, fat PS3, PS Vita Slim and a PS4. So far, I still play my PS3 equally as much as my PS4 since there's not enough games right now for the console that interest me at the moment (The only great exclusives the PS4 has so far is Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne). The PS3, on the other hand, has all the great library at the moment and is still being supported by Sony and many game developers. Not to mention, the game that Rockstar Games has been working for a very very long time, Agent, is still a PS3 exclusive right now, although I have the feeling that they'll either move it to PS4 or make them for both PS3 and PS4.

I've been using essential oils for many years now, but Geranium is an oil that I just recently discovered. In my pursuit of knowledge of making your own skin care, I kept finding over and over how powerful Geranium essential oil is when it comes to all issues, but especially skin issues. Just recently I included geranium in my recipe for a Skin Firming Facial Cream. Geranium oil has the ability to help balance hormones, soothe stress and depression, reduce inflammation, encourage circulation, and lower blood pressure! See, I told you, it's a good one-read on to learn the miracles it does for skin!!
Skin Benefits of Geranium
- Astringent- basically this means it contracts the skin, in other words, it tightens and firms! Geranium can actually tighten your skin and give you a smoother look. It can prevent your skin from sagging long term and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and delay premature aging!
- Cytophylactic- it encourages your skin to slough off dead skin cells and regenerate new cells.
- Cicatrisant- geranium oil is able to greatly reduce scars and spots. It revs up blood circulation which helps promote healing and even skin tone.
- Antibacterial and Antimicrobial-keeps wounds from getting infected as well as healing present infection. This is amazing news for people using geranium to heal acne!
- Vulnerary- this means geranium oil will speed up the healing process for wounds and cuts.
- Balances skin-Basically if you are oily or dry, geranium oil will bring balance to extreme skin types.
- Relieves water retention and swelling. Great for puffy eyes!
How to Incorporate it in your Beauty Regime:
- Apply 3-4 drops to your skin in the morning underneath your moisturizer.
- Add to your moisturizer.
- Apply one drop to each under eye bag.
- Diffuse for a mood boost!
- Rub on abdomen area for bloating relief.
Geranium has a floral scent. To the untrained nose, it can smell like rose. It mixes well with bergamot, lavender, lemon, rosemary and orange oil.
As you can see, Geranium oil is one of the most effective essential oils for skin concerns as well as health issues. Once again, nature has delivered a far superior alternative to high dollar anti aging skin care products!
I buy my Geranium oil from Spark Naturals. There is a wide variety in quality when it comes to essential oils. If you would like more info on Spark Naturals, and why they are my oil company of choice, go HERE.
xx, Jenni

10/13/12 11 a.m. -- Investigators hope cell phone records could lead to a break in the search for the person who abducted Jessica Ridgeway.
If a phone registered at all three towers, it could lead to a suspect.
WESTMINSTER, Colo. -
Investigators hope cell phone records could lead to a break in the search for the person who abducted Jessica Ridgeway.
ABC News reports that they're checking records of cell phone towers near Jessica's home, the location in Superior where her backpack was found and the park in Arvada where a body was found. If a phone registered at all three towers, it could lead to a suspect.
Sources tell ABC News the remains found Wednesday belong to Jessica Ridgeway, but police have said positive identification may not be available until at least Friday afternoon.
Jessica vanished on the morning of Friday, Oct. 5. She was last seen walking to Chelsea Park in the area of 107th Avenue and Moore Street around 8:30 a.m. where she was to meet several friends before walking to Witt Elementary School. Jessica's mother stood in the front yard of their home at 10768 Moore St. until her daughter was out of sight.
The discovery of Jessica's backpack and water bottle came three days later, on the sidewalk at Andrew Drive and Alpha Court in Superior.
The body, which Westminster police described as being "not intact," was discovered Wednesday in Pattridge Park Open Space.
Thursday, the FBI released a general psychological profile of the man who took Jessica Ridgeway in hopes it would help the public look for possible suspects.
FBI spokesman Dave Joly said the suspect could "be your boss, your friend" or a family member.
The FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit said that often, someone in the community will unknowingly be associated with the offender of the crime, and may be in a position to observe behavioral changes in that person. They will recognize the changes, and may even question the person about it, but may not relate the changes to that person's involvement in the crime. [Read the complete profile.]
Police said the parents are not suspects in Jessica's disappearance and have conducted extensive door-to-door searches in the area where she disappeared, in addition to using bloodhounds to try and pick up any direction for Jessica from her scent.
So far, the searches have proved fruitless.

The Equality Federation is holding its annual meeting in Baltimore this weekend. The association of statewide LGBT rights groups held a rally downtown last night to celebrate the Prop 8 ruling in California and, later, a reception for activists and donors that attracted a good crowd of D.C. politicos.
Instead of welcoming the activists to the "Free State," Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley threw cold water on the festivities, as WBAL-TV reported a startling change in his position on a same-sex marriage bill. O'Malley told me in a 2007 interview that he would sign a marriage bill if it reached his desk. He has repeated that pledge many times since.
But WBAL's Dave Collins reported last night that the governor's press office stated, "O'Malley would give a same-sex marriage bill careful consideration, but stopped short of saying he'd sign it."
Earlier this week, I contacted O'Malley's campaign seeking comment on the Prop 8 ruling.
"As you know the governor supports civil unions, but has also always opposed any constitutional amendment in Maryland that would ban same-sex marriage," was the reply.
The civil unions ship has sailed — it's 2010, not 2001. In California, a federal judge first appointed by Ronald Reagan and later confirmed under George H.W. Bush has ruled in favor of same-sex marriage. And a Republican administration (Schwarzenegger) declined to defend Prop 8 in court. And, later, the Republican mayor of San Diego, Jerry Sanders, apologized for not supporting marriage equality sooner.
Contrast that with the behavior of Maryland's Democratic governor, who won't expend an ounce of political capital to advance marriage rights and who instead backs the second-class status of civil unions. And now his press office, in the heat of a re-election campaign against an anti-gay opponent, appears to have forgotten O'Malley's pledge to sign a marriage equality bill if it reaches his desk.
In San Diego, Mayor Sanders was inspired to open his mind because his daughter is a lesbian. O'Malley has not had a similar epiphany, despite the fact that his own brother, Paul, is gay.
LGBT donors must develop a conscience and resist pouring money into O'Malley's campaign. The Blade will be tracking donations and publicizing the names of LGBT donors to his campaign. And Equality Maryland should resist the pressure to endorse a candidate who would relegate his own brother to second-class status under the law.
