'Duck Dynasty' Star On Gays: "Don't Deceive Yourself, It's Not Right"
Phil Robertson, the 67-year old patriarch of the hit reality TV family that makes up Duck Dynasty, goes off on a homophobic tangent in a new interview appearing in GQ.
"It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man's anus," Robertson said. "That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."
"Everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong. Sin becomes fine," he continued. "Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right."
GLAAD wasted no time in issuing a statement holding the arguably biggest reality TV star of the moment accountable for the blatant bigotry.
"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe," said GLAAD spokesman Wilson Cruz. "He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans—and Americans—who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families."
Considering the broad and substantial fan base Duck Dynasty has attracted, it would be an understatement to say that Phil's offensive comments are disappointing. They're, quite frankly, dangerous, stoking latent homophobia flames that pop-culture has largely helped contain. Here's hoping the younger Duck Dynasty stars aren't as backward and can repair the mindset the aging bigot may have impressed upon millions of Americans.
i am hear to give testimony of how i got back my husband, we got married for more than 9 years and have gotten two kids. thing were going well with us and we are always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treat me and the kids. later that month he did not come home again and he called me that he want a divorce, i asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying is that he want a divorce that he hate me and do not want to see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated do not know what to do,i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just want to try if something will come out of it. i contacted Dr Zuma zuk for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman, that she cast a spell on him that is why he hate me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they casted the spell and after 1 week my husband called me and he told me that i should forgive him, he started to apologize on phone and said that he still live me that he did not know what happen to him that he left me. it was the spell that he Dr Zuma zuk casted on him that make him comeback to me today,me and my family are now happy again today. thank you Dr Zuma zuk for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact email@example.com. and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay.
The writer misuses the world 'homophobia' as is usual. It's a non-word anyway. It means whatever the person who uses it wants it to mean. It's a cheap insult meant at slandering the opposition and silencing them. It's tired and it doesn't work anymore.
What you have reported Phil Robertson as saying is the truth. He is not 'homophobic' but the writer has a phobia against Mr Robertson's faith, against morals and against nature.
Look at yourself before you judge others.
I don't know this man. I don't watch this show & I have not read his full interview in GQ, but what I have read & heard in blog postings & news shows is nothing short of ignorant. His comments about gay sex being sinful & comparing it to bestiality & his views on black people being happy before the civil rights movement are ignorant. He may well be a product of his environment & has most likely had only a small first hand exposure to gay people & black people in his life. When you are told your whole life, by your parents, teachers, churches & other authority figures that something is bad, wrong, or sinful, you are likely to adopt that line of thinking. It doesn't necessarily mean that he is a bad person, but his comments prove that he is misguided at best & at worst homophobic & racist & ignorant. He is entitled to his opinion, even if it is wrong, but if you choose to make statements like this on the world stage, then you should be prepared for other people to exercise their rights to their opinions too. His words have shed new light on an important discussion that includes free speech, homophobia, racism & the state of people's priorities in this country. I hope that this man seriously explores why his remarks are creating such controversy & that he examines those reasons & hopefully learns something from this. A&E have done the right thing & at great risk to themselves. Homophobia & racism should not be tolerated & people MUST be educated on that. If you excuse this man's comments & views, you are by & large supporting his comments & views.
It is time for this kind of attitude to end. Ignorance can be cured by education. We must keep fighting.
I am NOT sure why GLADD Is so worried about a reality show that has NOTHING to offer them??? I AM SURE none of you have EVER have watch the show..so tell me why would you care ? you said you didn't want your children to hear about what people think about your life style well people DON'T like a lot of peoples life styles why is yours more important unless you are ashamed of it and you know it is wrong , by you trying to take OUR beliefs away to try and make everyone accept your life style you are going to crash and burn BECAUSE you are being shellfish and self consumed and NOT caring about other peoples beliefs .This is NOT going to help your quest it is already hurting it you can lash out at me but I have gays in my family 1 died of aids THEY NEVER where selfish enough to try and lie and hurt people
This is my testimonial on how Dr.Zabaza of email@example.com brought back my lover within 48 hours, I came across Dr.Zabaza email address through the search engine few days ago, so i emailed him about my condition and how my lover left me. He told me it would take him only 48 hours to get my ex back to me, my ex called me before 48 hours begging me to forgive him and forget about the past and he is ready to make up for lost time.Thank you Dr.Zabaza for the good job you did for me continue the good work. Contact Dr.Zabaza via email on firstname.lastname@example.com or call +2348182620374
They have the right to their own opinions just u do. Dont have to agree just agree to disagree. Its what makes the world a colorful mix of differences! As a gay man i am appalled at how the gay community is is trying to push their beliefs on the the rest of the world. Isnt that EXACTLY what we dont want others to do to us?!? Ijs noh8 doesnt mean u have the right to persecute one based simply on what they believe in. Its their right to have an individual opinion. And its ok to dislike it and do nothing- it just means u respect them enough to agree to disagree.
He has a right to his own opinion ! What the hell happend to freedom of speech?! What gives people the right to tell him that he doesn't have the right to speak His truth. It doesn't mean that you have to accept it as yours! I don't agree with what he said but he is entitled to his right to express how he feel. Fucking ridiculous to me! I have experienced racism my whole life but I do not and refuse to except it as a truth. Quit being uber sensitive about what others say....it only means that you are uncomfortable with who you are!
Everybody here should should just get off their high horses cause this happens all the time wether it be celebrities or unknowns. This is America, land of to many privileges and way to much freedom, so what's the big deal if you have issues with it, then talk to God about it and humbly accept the criticism and move on with your lives. Love wins and hate motivates, just make the right choice and always be constructive cause nobody here is perfect. So if I may let me build my home the way I want to but make one thing sure my door is always open regardless of any kind of preference.
A&E is a FOR PROFIT organization. A&E will not cancel this show folks. Those who think otherwise are kidding themselves. Also, I don't see a similar responses in the media to shows like Family Guy, which blatantly mocks, demeans and perpetuates stereotypes of the LGBT community on a regular basis. Things that make you go hmmm....
Bulldog you're a moron. Seth McFarland is a huge supporter of gay rights. He pokes fun at issues like race and homophobia because it's perpetuated by our society and he is parodying that. Us gay men poke fun at ourselves too. It's when the poking fun turns into hate. Telling people the life they live is wrong and they'll go to hell is hate speech and much different then simply poking fun at a stereotype.
Agree with him or not, by the way I do not, he has his rights. He can state his opinion. This is America and he still has the right of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. With that being said, here is my opinion, all this attention to what he said is only going to fuel him. Believe me for all that choose to not back him there are just as many who do. The best thing to do is completely ignore his ignorance on the subject or try and reach out with knowledge to educate him. He says he is only spreading the Bible, well my Bible says to love others, not judge others and that in my God's eyes, all sin in the same. If he sees being gay as a sin, well then his judgment of others is also a sin and in the lord's eyes they are the same. Spread love, he needs to and so do each of you! Spread love!
I have never watched this show, however being a gay man, I do believe that he has the right to his opinion and calling him a bigot or anything else for that matter only stoops to his level. This righteousness that we (gays) have recently is what I actually find intolerable. Every person has the right to their own beliefs and if his is of intolerance then so be it! And if gay men and women would stop living up to the stereotype of drug using, sexual fiends , prostitution, and well just about every other stereotype that has been heeled onto us I think the world would see our lifestyle as something different!!
GOD is like SANTA CLAUS. Religion is for those that are too weak minded, or too lazy to find answers for themselves. Why is the sky blue? GOD! . . . Why does the grass grow? GOD! Who went into my chest, and stopped my heart attack. Taking 8, painstaking hours to repair damage? GOD. . . Oh LAWD, it was a murricle. . . 'Murica. . peace out.
What has our world come to where someone cannot use freedom of speech... This is his opinion. Why is he being condemned for it? Because it is not "politically correct" No one is born gay. That is a lie from the pit of Hell. But being 'Gay' is mearly another sin that one commits. A sin that is no worse than adultery, pre-marital sex, drug abuse, murder. These sins are all the same in our Heavenly Fathers eyes. And he loves everyone, even people who live in sin('gay' people, murderers, and adulterers'). Finally if 'gay' people think he should not be aloud to speak his opinion, but yet they speak there's. It shows their own ignorance, everyone is entitled to share their opinion. It is also a constitutional right protected by the United States Constitution.
He is not being charged with a crime by the state. You are perfectly right that he has the right to say whatever he likes no matter how intolerant, ignorant or incorrect. He is, however, being tried by the court of public opinion - a court not beholden to the constitution; and in this court, a jury of his rational peers has found him guilty. This makes me happy.
I was born gay. And if you don't believe me, that shouldn't be my problem. Furthermore, as a non-Christian, the Judeo-Christian view of 'sin' means very little to me. I have a very strong sense of morality, but for me it's not about a bunch of 2,000 year old rules; rather, it's about being kind to one another, allowing every citizen of the planet to be their authentic selves, and doing my best not to harm anyone. Being gay only hurts those whose small minds can't deal with human diversity - but not even then, as those small-minded people are really just hurting themselves.
Frankly I think he has the right to his own opinion. Just because he's on tv doesn't make it a crime I mean there's a lot more bigots then just the ones on tv and no one gives that big of a hoot. I think those who can't handle someone's opinion regardless of fame should be ashamed. Just an opinion.
Yes they do, however it's silly they'd fire him over an opinion yet keep oh so many other shows that are ten times worse. And yes in the bible it does state that homosexuality is a sin, so if he goes by what he reads then so be it. I think everyone needs to grow up and move on, it's one mans opinion and raging at him on the internet or kicking him off a show isn't going to change his mind, it might actually fuel his dislike. Also if I do recall he never had an issue with interacting with a gay person. He might not agree but it doesn't mean he'll exclude them and not talk to them. One never knows.
I as a gay man watched this show, however I will chose to forgive Phil's remarks, because God is about forgiving...However I will no longer participate within the watching of the show Duck Dynasty.. I support love,forgiveness,understanding,equality for all. I can not in good faith support a program or person who claims to be Christian or use's scripture to verbally attack and disgrace a group of people. There is one judge and that's God, so set down and let God do his job..
The show is Christian, but it is not the show that attacked your "group of people" yet it is a person. You saying that you will stop watching the show is your choice, and you can do what you please. However when you say "disgrace a group of people" I'm going to assume you are talking about 'gay' people(I will explain why it is in quotes later) which is unfair because there is really no such thing as 'gay' people because no one is born gay. Being gay, is just another sin. And it is no worse than being a adulterer or a thief. God looks at all of us the same. Now if you call yourself a Christian(which from my interpretation of your comment it seems to me that you are) you are morally obligation to "not only hear these words of mine but do them" in regards to the Bible. You said that he used scripture when attacking the 'gay' people. Which cannot be seen in this article, and if he did. And you are a Christian, you have a moral obligation to read and follow through with what The Word says.
Oh Just to clear one thing up, I as a gay man have slept with a woman... And the answer to the age old question, a Vagina is totally different than an anus. However there are many straight men who like female anus and plenty of females who like it in the anus.. It's just not a Gay thing... Just saying.. Anal sex regardless of who is the pitcher and who is the receiver, it's been happening in the straight community as long as it has been happening in the gay community...
Seriously people need to chill out. People can have their opinions. People like reasons to get worked up and get mad. If someone on tv talked about how they hate white women and think they shouldn't have rights, id just simply laugh cause I know they're wrong. There's more serious things going on in the world then a reality tv star saying something offensive. That shit happens all the time. Get the fuck over it. There's bigger horrible things happening out in the world. Why don't you go protest and get worked up about things you can change. You can't change people's beliefs.
White women have rights moron. Lgbt folks are fighting for theirs. You can't change peoples beliefs? Really? You have never changed a personal belief? You are that close minded? So nobody has ever changed their beliefs about african american rights? How about womens rights? How did that come about? Someone had to change their mind.
Sometimes old school is bad school. Forgive the man, wish him a better self acceptance, and move on. Remember, only those deeply upset with their own disillusioned reality created out of the egoic mind lash out at others. Peaceful lives/minds do not beget anger and resentment. So, just be thankful your life is what it is and let the old guy be.
I am off to make something nice for dinner for my husband and avoid all reality TV as always :)
Let's help you understand your 1st Amendment Right...Part I, you have the right to freedom of expression; Part II, unless that freedom infringes on the rights if others. When one uses hate speech in public, it infringes on others rights to express themselves. Thus, keep your opinions in your private spaces and away from the public. We all have the same right as that sir.
I used to watch the show, but it passed the point of "reality" a long time ago. It is way too produced and sounds too rehearsed. I used to like Phil, too, but it seems he missed the part of his religion that states the 7 sins, two of which are greed and gluttony. The show has plenty of that in it.
Everyone is absolutely entitled to there own beliefs and thoughts, we were all given free will. However, I am surrounded in my life by straight people, gay people, black people, Spanish people, etc... I love every single one of them and they make up my life as a whole. I will not identify myself as any of these demographics because they are ALL created equal. For these Christian people from Duck Dynasty who have been made out to be idols and the current Reality TV fad, shouldn't you practice to be more appreciative of what you have and have been given? People from all of these classifications of humans have contributed to your success. You should be a little more open to the publics you have been exposed to outside of your swamplands of Louisiana. As for A&E, I certainly understand these aren't the ideas or practices you follow however, I would hope you wouldn't continue to encourage disgraceful television based on people with such hurtful and biased beliefs. I can assure you that I certainly won't pursue your station any longer with them still running on it.
I completely agree with you. Everyone has the freedom of speech, but unfortunately that doesn't mean that what you say will not have consequences when it runs in the public eye. Some people think that because you have the right to say many things that you are therefore also exempt from public criticisms; when in reality, you are not.
The really sad thing is that people actually LOVE this kook and his brood. Look at all the products they've branded now.
I personally couldn't care less what the bozo thinks. But he's got a huge following and a huge franchise. That means a huge platform to promote his ignorance. Give me a petition to get A&E to get them off the air, and I'll sign it.
Oh good grief. If we have learned anything -- I would hope we are learning that these types of views are not in line with Christ's teachings and are bigoted hate filled remarks that do nothing more than cause more damage and separation. Get with the program Phil, those views are what we call hate.

Violence Against Women's Act Flawed Legislation
The Violence Against Women Act was reauthorized on January 5. While there is obviously a need for this type of legislation there are two sections in this bill that seriously infringe on our privacy and civil rights and should be addressed. Title X which increase FBI DNA collection abilities and the "Preventing Cyberstalking" section which by being overly broad and open to interpretation could end up having a chilling effect on free speech on blogs and other Internet postings.Amidst all the controversy this White House has been engaged in the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act on January 5 should have been a simple matter or doing the right thing for a change. However, the law added two problematic provisions. One of these provisions may turn out to be greatly challenging in the future, having a chilling affect on how we interact on the web.
First, Title X of the bill allows law enforcement to collect the DNA of anyone arrested and store the DNA in a federal database. It's worse if you aren't a US citizen. In that case, DNA may be collected and stored any time they are detained under U.S. authority. This significantly expands the number of people catalogued by the FBI's database, as previously the law only allowed the collection of DNA from people convicted, indicted, or charged with crimes.
The other bad legislation in this bill is the "Preventing Cyberstalking," portion of the act. It was intended to expand an anti- telephone harassment law by applying it to Internet communications to block technology based loopholes like voice-over-IP. The law originally prohibited calling someone anonymously "with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass" someone. The new provision prohibits anonymously contacting someone over the Internet with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass him or her. If read broadly, the new law could criminalize web pages or blogs that criticize, ridicule, satirize, or otherwise "annoy" someone. Declan McCullagh, of C/Net News has a FAQ on this issue.
The Violence Against Women Act is a good law and it was important for it to be reauthorized. These two sections should be challenged and corrected or removed from the act. In one case we are giving away our privacy in the form of our DNA and the other we are giving up our first amendment freedom of speech.

This Google Ads Mastery Review will teach you how to run an effective Google AdWords campaign, which will bring your website increased revenues. There are key issues to remember when starting your campaign. While anyone can run an Adwords campaign, most webmasters become easily frustrated as keywords are paused, CTR is too low, and conversions are non existent. But I'm here to keep you from these unpleasant situations.
Selecting Keywords
First we need to select the right keywords and keyword terms that you will want to bid on. Selecting keywords is the most important part of any Adwords campaign, as well as other internet marketing campaigns. This is what will bring people to your site who are searching for what you sell.
There are some internet gurus who will tell you to grab thousands and thousands of keywords. They believe in quantity over quality, but that method will only part people with their hard earned money. These programs teach you failure.
You want to start with a broad match of keyword terms. For an example, we will start with chocolate candy bars and use targeted terms like candy bar, candy bars, chocolate candy, and chocolate candy bars. Now we want to narrow the terms to even more targeted keyword phrases, so we will look at specific of this business: the different candy bar brands our online store carries and what people will likely use as a search query. This leads us to terms like Hershey's candy bar, Nestles chocolate bar, Hershey's chocolate candy, etc.
Finally we want to really narrow things down to improve Click Through Rate (CTR) and Conversion To Sales/Leads (CTS / CTL). We do this by being even more specific in our selection of keyword terms. Let's try using Hershey's Mr Goodbar, Hershey's special dark, Hershey's kiss, Reese's cup, Reese's pieces, and JVZoo Academy Review. By using the exact phrase the user is looking for, you will often present a very targeted ad for them to follow to your site and make a purchase.
When doing keyword research, there are several free sources you can use to do your research. Since this is not a keyword tutorial, you may want to refer to these other sources for help in this regard. On SEO Chat, there is an entire section of articles devoted to picking and refining keywords, as well as a keyword optimizer tool.
These should be able to fulfill all of your keyword needs. In addition, you can look in a dictionary or thesaurus for additional relevant terms or use the tools on Google'sor Overture's pages.
Do not forget to add negative match terms so that you do not drive tire kickers to your website. If you do not have a free offer then you should use the negative keyword –free (free with a hyphen in front). This will prevent searches for free chocolate candy bars from bringing up your ads.
You Need Ad Groups
Now that we have our keywords selected, we want to set up our campaigns and ad groups. By categorizing your campaigns it is easier to keep track of your keyword terms, improve performance, and weed out non-performers.
Ad groups are the files of keywords under each campaign. In our example of chocolate candy bars, we would start two campaigns: one for Nestles and one for Hershey's. Under each campaign, we will have the brand's specific ad groups, such as Hershey's Special Dark, and Hersey's Kisses. Our Nestles campaign would have adgroups for Nestle Crunch, Nestles Mr. Goodbar, Nestles Nutrageous and more. https://goo.gl/YVTG9H
Titles are Vital
Having organized our campaigns, we now need to write out the ads that will draw users to our website. First, we will write a title. The title line is the very first line of your ad and needs to stand out in order to capture the viewers' eyes and attention. This can be done in many ways, Hershey's "Candy bar" isn't very appealing, so we need something more captivating. We could try "Love Hershey's?" Now that is pretty good, but we can better: "Who Loves Chocolates?"
That will stand out and capture most of our target audience. It speaks the language of those who are searching for chocolate, and even addresses them personally. It could always be tweaked a bit more, so that the user feels they might missing out on something if we use "Who Else Loves Chocolates?"
A Strong Description
Now that the title is done well, we want to drop down to the body of the ad and make the best use of our two lines of description text. Here we want to use problem solving, strong call to action and incentives. Here, too, we need to capture the user as best we can. These are particular good choices for our candy store:
Find Hershey's Kisses Online, Shop Today Free Shipping!
Find Nestles Crunch You Love, Shop Today For 20% Off!
These will drive the visitor to the website, and onto a purchase if indeed what you have is what they were looking for.
Remember, you are writing extremely short ad copy, so there you need to stay focused. Adwords does not give us enough web space to sell the customer within our ad copy. It is specifically designed to tease or pique the users interest. Using the limited ad web space you have to headlight the biggest benefits or the goals your customers are looking to meet, and you'll see bigger rewards on your AdWords return on investment.
{mospagebreak title=Measuring Results}
Next we want to move to measurement of results. Measurement is the one area where I find webmasters lacking in helping themselves to earning nice profits in Adwords. The Google Adwords campaign allows you to place tracking code on the page following a successful sale or lead capture, and this code will track your conversion costs. By using the free tracking code, you can track all the important financial data you need in order to generate even higher profits from the sales you receive.
Some have failed to do this because of the initial success webmasters see when starting Adwords campaigns, then not feeling as though they have time to go back and get the tracking code for their campaign. Make sure that you do get the code. Being able to measure the results is the first step to tweaking and optimizing your listings. Once you have these campaigns up and running as you want, you will then want to experiment to see if you can have even greater impact on sales and return on investment.
How do you experiment? You can do split testing of ads, write body text with each word capitalized, and another ad exactly the same but with all lower case words. You can even try to write the ads correctly from the start to see where that lands. Another way to experiment is to look at the URL you display to the users. While it seems just a small issue, it can have a positive approach to making the conversion to a sale or lead. Try Capping Each Word in your URL and try all small caps. With the Adwords program, you can also measure each ad's performance within each ad group, and adjust ads once you see a pattern appear.
Using each type of ad above, along with variations of URLS, will allow you to see which ads users like and which they do not like. Having this data then allows you to refine each of your adgoups within the campaign for the best CTR, as well as increased conversion to sales/lead.
{mospagebreak title=Adwords Ad Targeting Tips}
If you want to target your ads even more, there are several ways to do this. The first step in narrowing your target is to use the 'Phrase Match' feature in Google AdWords. This will limit your ad to be displayed to those searches which include your search keywords or keyword terms in order. To make use of 'Phrase Match' feature, you would need to wrap your keyword terms in quotation marks. For example: "Hershey's Kiss". Then only those terms that include both Hershey's and Kiss in that order will display your ad.
Another method used to refine the ad distribution is done using the 'Exact Match' option. This is very useful for increasing click through rates of ads performing poorly. The 'Exact Match' option will only show your ads when the exact search phrase is entered. The 'Exact Match' feature is activated by placing brackets around your search term. In our example, we would use [Hershey's Kiss]. Now only the exact term 'Hershey's Kiss' will display your AdWords ad.
Geo Targeting
Take a look at Geo Targeting for further specificity. With AdWords, you can target where your ads are to appear in specific geographic locations. This can be defined by country, region, state, and even local cities only.
The local pizza restaurant in your town would use Adwords to target new local pizza lovers, but for them to advertise somewhere that they do not deliver their famous pizza would be a complete waste of their money. However if that local pizza shop has stores or customers spanning a few different states, then it would be a good idea to run ads in the different states with low bids on keywords which will build the brand name.
Get Creative with Adwords
As mentioned above, Adwords is a good way to build brand name by bidding on keyword terms involving your brand or are directly related. Adwords can also be useful in market research. Have a new product idea or perhaps a new domain name you want to run a website on? Place ads for the new product idea or split test the domain name with others, and let the users' clicks tell you which they like best.
As you can clearly see, Google's Adwords program is designed to be able to give you a plethora of marketing information and data which is free for anyone to use.

As a long time Flash developer who loves Flash, I can tell you that what is happening right now is a good thing.
First, we are making bold moves like stopping the development of the browser plug-in on mobile browsers in favor of investing further in Flash-based apps packaged with AIR. Playing existing content sounds like a great idea on paper, but we know it doesn't always work that way — you need to author for mobile and think for mobile, but from talking to customers and looking at content today, we realize that very few people are targeting the plug-in on mobile browsers.
Flash developers have always created some of the most stunning, immersive, emotional experiences on the web. They've always pushed the cutting edge, with few restrictions. But mobile is different, and developers need to adapt to different constraints and affordances. Flash lets you do that, whether you are taking advantage of efficient hardware accelerated video playback or native support for features like multitouch and accelerometers. But it's costly to create beautiful experiences optimized for mobile browsers — a cost that doesn't make sense if people using one of the most popular mobile platforms can't see the content you create.
Existing content for desktops didn't always look as magical on phones as people were used to seeing with Flash Player on their desktops. Content optimized for desktops with big screens and beefy processors can't look as good on a phone or a tablet it was never designed for. This really had an impact on the trust that people had in Flash, and this perception made it hard to start new projects optimized for mobile browsers. There was just no appetite to even try doing this.
In contrast, you guys create super nice Flash-based apps packaged with AIR and delivering them to app stores across iOS, Android, and BlackBerry devices – by the end of this year, you will be able to reach over 350 million tablets and smartphones. Have you seen an article from a journalist saying that Machinarium, Comb over Charlie, or TweetHunt are horrible ? No, people love those games. Your work fits the trend the entire industry is seeing: even as we're excited about improvements in mobile browsers, the most compelling, immersive experiences for mobile devices are delivered through apps, optimized from the ground up for mobile. We're helping you guys leverage your talent – the same skills in ActionScript and tooling – to reach that huge, growing market of smartphone and tablet users with amazing apps. Flash makes it possible for developers who craft beautiful desktop experiences to deliver great mobile app experiences. We are going to really focus on that, creating the best solution to build stunning interactive content, games, and video apps across all screens.
Flash Player on the desktop continues to show a path for the consistent, super duper experiences that are impossible to deliver to over a billion people with any other technology. For example, Flash Player 11 was released only a month ago, and it now enables fluid, cinematic hardware accelerated 2D and 3D visuals for more people on the web than any other technology. Flash Player uniquely does for the desktop what apps do for phones and tablets: it helps ensure that what you imagine is exactly what your users will see. Flash Player remains the best technology for delivering premium experiences on the desktop, period. Focusing helps us make sure that we continue to drive that continued innovation.
We are not stepping out of the mobile space with Flash, we are just focusing on what makes sense and where Flash looks great.
In the long term, we're actively working on an ambitious future for Flash. The implementation details may change, as we've been talking about today. We believe that the DNA of Flash doesn't reside in those implementation details, but in our promise to make it easy to create and deliver the most amazing experiences everywhere. We're focusing on fulfilling that promise, and we're excited to see what the future – and our community – will bring.

Elemental Magic Book Launch!
Oh yes, and the book is now available on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca for pre-order, so if you can't make it to the opening, you can still get your own copy. And if you really want a signed copy, e-mail me at email@example.com and I will get you a signed copy delivered for $50 US each. (that's the best price I can do for shipping and all, after buying my own copies from the publisher...but I'll make a really cool drawing and personalize it to make it worth every penny)
Thank you all for your support, hope to see you soon!

Got my copy a couple weeks ago - love it!
It's an excellent mix of the technical/practical and the philosophical, and it's already become a great resource for me.
I especially like the tips on getting fractal variation into things. Working on that got me out of a bit of a rut I didn't even realize I was in. Thanks!

Senior linebacker says undefeated start to season huge for Poteau
After the Poteau Pirates routed the Idabel Warriors 42-7 last week for their first road football win of the 2011 season, it put the Pirates at 2-0. Such a start could not have been any better, according to senior outside linebacker Jake McMillin."It's a big deal," he said. "I like it. Things are way better than they were last year. Last year, I felt like we weren't going to have a chance to be any good. This year, I feel something coming on. We just have to keep working hard each week, and hope for the best — maybe even the playoffs. We just need to keep getting better each week."

The latex business is slow in the summer so I took off to work on another project: a photo book of my cat, Mr. Mahj, as we took to the roads of America for a month.
We left on a Sunday, and drove like mad to get past the sprawling states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illionois. During that two day ride the only things that caught my attention were "the rubber capital of America" (Akron, Ohio), and a sign for foot-high pies. (I stopped, only to discover they lied and the pies were only about 6″ high!) It wasn't until we arrived in St. Louis with its massive Gateway Arch ("Gateway to the West", that I felt truly on holiday.
We spent the night with a friend and dined on steak in Kansas City. The next day we visited various Kansas highlights including the very accurate Museum of Oz. Mr. Mahj strutted through the exhibits for many a photo op. Our next stop was Cawker City to see the world's largest cat toy, also known as a ball of string. It was 10 feet in diameter and smelt a bit rank, but Mr. Mahj took it all in stride.
Next, south to Lucas and one of Kansas' eight wonders—The Garden of Eden, where, at the age of 62, local eccentric Samuel Perry Dinsmoor began work on his life-long art project and final resting place, by adorning his house with concrete sculptures of gods and devils. Since his death his mummified body is available for all to see: providing they came early enough that it wasn't closed.
From there we headed into Oklahoma to follow Route 66 west towards Amarillo, Texas and Cadillac Ranch (where a local millionaire had 10 Cadillacs half buried, nose down in the dirt along side the highway). Unfortunately we did not see either Bug Ranch (VWs in the dirt, or Combine Ranch (tractors in the dirt). What an absurdist sense of humor those Texans have!
Although we had looked forward to Route 66, it was rather a disappointment. It was rather depressing to pass all the neglected towns and closed businesses with their cool broken signs, reminders of an era of road trips past.
So we decided to head south to Roswell, New Mexico to get photos of Mr. Mahj at the alien crash site. New Mexico is perhaps my favorite state so I was delighted to see more of it. After that we stopped in Santa Fe, then Taos where I ended spending the night in the Emergency Room with breathing problems due to the high altitude. That cut that part of the trip short which was disappointing as I've really enjoyed Taos in the past but then being able to breathe is more important.
A brief stop at Los Alamos, then off to Albuquerque, too late for a hot air balloon ride but lots of route 66 kitsch and neon. It was much more interesting that I had imagined and much to my surprise I'd like to return at some point in the distant future. Next we made our way to Gallop and spent our 3rd and final night in New Mexico, getting out just in time to avoid a growing forest fire.
In Arizona the hot 40-mile-an-hour winds helped fuel huge forest fires in the south so we headed to the incredibly beautiful and bizarre Petrified Forest, then west to the Meteor Crater, where astronauts train for walking on the moon, with a quick stop for a photo-op on a giant Jack Rabbit in Winslow.
At the Grand Canyon, Mr. Mahj didn't seem too impressed as he did his catwalk on scenic overlooks or tried to find relief from the heat under the shade of a scraggly bush. Numerous photo ops later we made a short pit stop at the Hoover Damn where the concrete was so hot he refused to set foot out of his bag until we arrived in Las Vegas.
Mr. Mahj is a great traveling companion (for a cat). He surveyed the passing countryside from the vantage spot of a comfy pillow, eagerly leaping out for walks and adoration at every opportunity, and hopping into his bag to be transported back to the car when he'd seen enough.
Our most Route 66-like stay was at the "Holiday Motel" just off Las Vegas Boulevard. We sat by the water and listened to the screams of brave tourists as they plunged 108 stories from the top of the Stratosphere across the road. This is really more what I imagined accommodations would be on the road: a huge old animated neon sign and a small pool by the roadside as a relief from the day's heat.
The phoDOGrapher's blog has 4 entries with photos of Mr. Mahj's Big Adventure and brief comments. A larger collection of Mr. Mahj Goes West photos is here.

By now, it\'s not news that U.S. house prices saw a strong rebound in 2012. Data due at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday from CoreLogic — one of the timeliest providers of home-price information — will reveal just how strong, as well as whether the momentum carried into December. Last month, CoreLogic said U.S. home prices had gained 7.4% year-on-year through November.
American service-sector companies maintained strong momentum in January, though growth probably tapered off slightly, according to economists surveyed by MarketWatch. The Institute for Supply Management's index of conditions in the non-manufacturing sector will be issued at 10 a.m. Eastern. The index likely slipped to 55.0% from 55.7% in December, the MarketWatch poll shows.
Still, any number above 50% signals expansion. Companies in fields such as retail, healthcare, entertainment and financial advice have been growing for more than two and a half years. These industries account for eight of every 10 U.S. workers. Over the past year, the ISM non-manufacturing index has ranged from a low of 52.7% to a high of 56.1%.

Much like many of the brand's other designs the Volkswagen Jetta also comes at an affordable price. Things that make the Jetta so popular include its impressive drive and handling, especially at its asking price. These cars also make for popular resale vehicles, if owners willing to part with them can be found.
The first half of the 1900s saw a massive change in industrial technology and functions. A vast number of plants and factories revolutionized and modernized. Some industries, such as the automotive industry, had its beginnings in these years. While the American automakers often claim a great deal of attention, it would be shortsighted to overlook one of the best known European manufacturers, Volkswagen. This company began in the 1930s and while it intended to be an automotive plant, the German company underwent some unpleasant changes in the beginning.
During the years following the World War II, Volkswagen once again turned its attention to making affordable and reliable vehicles. Almost everyone knows about the Beetle design, and the Jetta soon joined the growing line of Volkswagen cars.
Since its beginning, the Volkswagen Jetta has had several important factors going for it. This car has a distinctive and stylish body design, even for such a small car. The turbo charged engines haven't done anything but help endear this model to the public. It has done especially well in the U.S. market, where consumers seem to thrive on power and agility from their cars. The Jetta actually represents the best-selling car VW offers in the American market. The powertrain and the car's good looks have a great deal to do with that distinction.
VW creates an easy to maintain and easy to own car when it comes to the Jetta. Even through the various generations, it has remained one of the most popular options. Note that many industry experts prefer the older generations of this model.
Volkswagen released the Jetta new for the 2012 model year. Since the company overhauled the car for the 2011 year, there have been very few changes made to the design since. The 2012 edition does feature a Fender audio system on certain trim levels and VW discontinues the sport package for the SEL trim level.
The Jetta features a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine for the base and S trim levels. This engine pairs with a five-speed manual transmission standard. Those who wish may choose a six-speed automatic as well. The SE, SEL, and SEL Premium models come equipped with a 2.5-liter, inline five-cylinder engine. The transmission choices remain the same as with the base and S versions. As an interesting note, the larger powertrain offered on the upgraded trim levels remain roughly as fuel efficient as the smaller engine.
Inside the cabin, the Jetta tries hard to please. There is nothing wrong with the interior design, however many industry leaders feel it falls short in the materials department. The older Jettas use high-quality interior materials. The 2011 and 2012 models suffer criticism for using hard plastics and cheap materials.
While there have been five generations of the Volkswagen Jetta released, many people return again and again to the fourth generation when considering the previous versions of the Jetta. This generation marks what very well might be the most popular time for the sedan. Produced from 1999 to 2005, this model made quite an impression.
The model attributes part of its appeal to its good looks. Commonly, industry experts suggest this generation stands out as the best looking in the Jetta family. The fourth generation Jetta also earns repute for its safety features. VW makes every attempt to modernize the safety features for its time.
The fourth generation Jetta features two different engines. The standard 2.0-liter engine doesn't receive rave reviews from test drivers or industry leaders. If looking to purchase a used Jetta, experts suggest one with the better-rated, turbocharged four-cylinder motor. This one performs much better in test drives and offers better acceleration than the base engine.
Overall, as a used model, the Jetta provides a good choice, especially if the vehicle's history and maintenance records look clean.

Located twenty-five miles from Downtown Portland and four miles northwest of Cedar Mill, the Bethany neighborhood is an unincorporated community in Washington County with about 21,000 residents. The area was first settled in the mid-1870s by a man named Ulrich Gerber from Switzerland.
Bethany is appealing for a variety of buyers with an abundance of small residential communities with around 100 homes, several apartment buildings and condominiums and spacious, private estates. The neighborhood is served by the Beaverton school district with four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. A short commute to Downtown, Bethany provides the comfort of suburban life with easy access to urban culture.
Conveniently located in the center of the community, Bethany Village is a one-stop shopping experience for residents. Neighbors can effortlessly enjoy upscale shopping, dining, medical centers and a variety of businesses. During the summertime you can support local venders at the Bethany Farmer's Market.

Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.
