As I've already mentioned Josh and I have been together a loooong time, 11 years to be precise and to say I've dropped some hints about getting engaged over the years is an understatement. I've never made any secret of the fact that I'd like to get married but over time it became clear to me that I was perfectly happy as we were but one day it would be nice to get married to the man I've spent so long with. When you've been together so long, what you want from a relationship milestone like this massively changes over the years.
Anyway, the night of the concert rolled around and I was further surprised with the fact that we had backstage passes for the show. We've been backstage before at the Echo Arena but this time we were hoping to meet Brian Ray, the guitarist in McCartney's band as Josh has actually done some work for him before and we've missed him at previous gigs. We finally managed to meet Brian and he asked if he could get a photo of us which looking back I found a little odd but I went with it, then he said he was going to get a video so I thought maybe Josh had spoke to him about getting some vlog footage or something. The next thing I knew, Josh was down on one knee asking me to marry him! I was in complete and utter shock but I just about managed to get the word 'yes' out! It turns out Josh had asked Brian if he'd help him out with the proposal so we actually have it on film!
It was the happiest moment of my life and I spent the next few days in a complete and utter daze! I can't stop staring at my ring because it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It's so dainty and classic and completely my style, Josh chose it all by himself and I've never really mentioned what kind of ring I'd like so he definitely did good! Even a week after it happened I still can't believe I'm engaged and I'm so excited to start this next chapter with Josh.

It's been 25 years since Aurelija discovered her love of caring for others.
"I didn't know any English then," said Aurelija, who had just moved to the United States from Lithuania and was in need of work. She soon found much more than a job. In caregiving, she found her passion.
"It is a blessing," said Aurelija, Home Helpers of Hinsdale's Caregiver of the Quarter.
Aurelija joined Home Helpers four years ago after working for several other companies. She said she has found her home with Home Helpers.
"I'm so happy I found them," she said. "The company cares about their caregivers. It's the best place."
Aurelija said she not only loves her employer, she truly cares about her clients.
"I learn so much from them," she said.
Care Manager Michelle Pantoja said Aurelija is always reliable and treats her clients like her own family.
"I'm so glad to help them and to make them happy," Aurelia said. "I try hard to understand their needs and to help them enjoy the things they enjoy."
"I don't think I'm very special," she said. "I need them as much as they need me. It's a good feeling to have someone depend on me."
In caregiving, Aurelija has found work that she is passionate about, but she has never given up her love of music and of singing. She sings in her church choir and in a Lithuanian opera in Lemont.
"I think it's important to stay active," said Aurelija, who encourages her clients to do the same.
Learn how you, like Aurelija, can make a difference in someone's life by joining the Home Helpers team of caregivers.

Wise things are coercive--
Blooming in fields lost to sons, bell-casters,
To battles.
The flowers on the blue curve are a sign of a season
Shortening, having colored
Now, already
The pink inner thrills on those
studious fingers feast on the
Over-abundant sun.
Such a world of lies--just listening will
Stop your heart.
Last season a fat baby rose from his cradle,
The lava-folds of his tender back to the field,
Unfriendly to the hands that made him laugh.

Assisted living and nursing home costs are on the minds of many pre-retirees and retirees. In a study administered by the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Research, about 70% of survey respondents (1,019 in total respondents) stated they were worried about having to pay for these services. With the growing costs of these services, no wonder why. The average annual cost of skilled nursing care for a semi-private room here in Massachusetts is over $135,000 and projected to climb over $180,000 by the year 20261. Add to the fact that the Department of Health and Human Services state that 7 out of 10 people over age 65 will experience a long-term care event at some point during the rest of their lifetime, no wonder people are uneasy. Most individuals and families wonder how to protect assets from nursing home costs. Do you share the same feelings?
When Will Medicaid Pay For Nursing Home Costs?
Many people think Medicare or their health insurance carrier will pay for nursing home or assisted living services. Unfortunately, that is not true. These programs will not pay for these services – known as custodial or skilled nursing care. Medicaid has been the payer of most skilled nursing and custodial care2. It will pay these costs when a certain monetary, personal asset threshold is met. This threshold is different for each state.
Generally speaking, your total, personal asset value will determine if you qualify for Medicaid and the threshold met. What you may not realize is that nearly all assets that you have control over, or in your name, can be used to pay for nursing home costs until you meet this threshold. That means the retirement savings you worked hard for, your social security payments, life insurance with cash value, and other assets could be used to pay for nursing home costs before Medicaid will pay.
These assets are countable towards your ability to pay for nursing home care on your own. You will qualify for Medicaid once you have spent down these assets to your state's Medicaid asset limit. An easy example, let's say you have $300,000 of countable assets and the state Medicaid threshold is $50,000. You will need to spend down $250,000 before Medicaid will pay for nursing home services.
Check With Your State
As we mentioned earlier, every state has different Medicaid qualifications, so it is best to check with your state to determine yours. In some states, your home equity may even be considered an asset to pay for nursing home care. There are additional rules when another spouse – the non-custodial spouse – is living in the home and using assets. For example, some states allow the non-custodial spouse to keep joint assets, up to a certain limit. It is our advice for you to speak to a qualified attorney in your state specializing in this process.
If you are worried about the assets you worked so hard for being used to pay for nursing home costs, don't fret. There are several ways to legally protect your assets from these costs. In other words, you won't need to spend down your assets to meet Medicaid eligibility.
Options To Protect Assets From Nursing Home Costs
What most of you may not realize is that you have many options to protect assets from nursing home costs. The most common is purchasing a traditional long-term care insurance policy. There are many advantages and disadvantages, and we will discuss a few here. The first advantage is that with the appropriate coverage, you should have a robust policy that will cover these nursing home services and therefore avoid any spending down of your assets. The premiums are also tax deductible. The disadvantage is that premiums can be expensive, underwriting can be stringent, and most people question spending that level of money for a service they may not use. Additionally, only a few, large carriers remain in the traditional long-term care insurance market. Nevertheless, if an individual or couple could qualify at a reasonable premium, a long-term care insurance policy can make sense.
Alternatively, one could invest in an annuity or life insurance policy with a long-term care (LTC) rider. These can be more palatable to individuals compared to a traditional long-term care insurance policy. They are a welcomed remedy to the "use it or lose it" nature of a traditional long-term care policy. If the owner of the annuity or life insurance policy does not exercise the LTC rider, the value of the annuity or life insurance is still intact (less the cost of the LTC rider). These policies can be less stringent with underwriting, provide a good base for LTC needs, and provide shared resources between spouses. However, benefits may not be as robust as a traditional policy.
Using An Irrevocable Trust To Protect Assets
Another option is to utilize an irrevocable trust. Back up a bit: do you know the difference between a revocable trust and an irrevocable trust? The simple, and major distinguishing factor is control: you still have control over a revocable trust compared to an irrevocable one. You can make changes to a revocable trust; however, the terms of an irrevocable trust are essentially set in stone.
What does this have to do with asset protection? If you set up a revocable trust, and enter a nursing home, those assets within the trust will still be counted before Medicaid will pay for nursing home services. The reason, as we have mentioned, is because you still have control. With an irrevocable trust, the trust becomes a separate entity from you. Assets within the trust are owned by the trust. As outlined in the terms of the trust, you do not have control over them. Therefore, if you would need nursing home services, the assets within the trust are not included in any Medicaid eligibility computations.
Be Aware Of Benefit Disqualification
That is the benefit of the irrevocable trust. A disadvantage is that you release control of those assets. It is rigid. There are also state-specific rules governing the receipt of income from these trusts. While the asset value may be shielded from Medicaid eligibility computations, the income received, most likely, will have to pay for nursing home care. Moreover, nearly all states have instituted a 5 year look-back provision. If you enter a nursing home or utilize another type of custodial care within 5 years of transferring assets to a trust (or any other transfer, such as a $10,000 gift to your children), you will disqualify yourself for Medicaid purposes. The length of disqualification depends upon the average monthly cost of custodial care in your state along with the asset value transferred.
How To Set Up An Irrevocable Trust
Setting up an irrevocable trust requires the assistance of a competent lawyer and financial team specializing with Medicaid eligibility. It is important that the team understands your goals and wishes in order to devise the best plan. Moreover, it is important that you and your spouse understand the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. Finally, it is also important your children, family members, or other important beneficiaries are present or in the loop as to the plan. In our experience, bringing family, children, and other trusted loved ones into the conversation made the conversation and discussion much easier.
What is a Funeral Trust?
Setting up a pure irrevocable trust takes time and money. However, if this is something you feel like you need, there is a way to get started sooner. You may have never heard of a funeral trust. This is an irrevocable trust designed to keep money intended for your funeral and burial protected from nursing home costs. The amount of money that can be contributed to a funeral trust is up to $15,000 per person depending on the state you live in. While that may not seem like a lot to you, in our experience, it becomes a lot when a family is facing payment of nursing home services and want to protect something for the remaining family members.
A funeral trust is simply a life insurance policy contained within an irrevocable trust. Even if you have a life insurance policy now intended for funeral or burial expenses, chances are the cash value of the policy may be subject to Medicaid eligibility computations. The reason: the policy is not contained within an irrevocable trust. That means if you enter a nursing home, the cash value could be used to pay for the nursing home care.
Setting Up A Funeral Trust
Setting up a funeral trust is rather simple. These trusts generally contain a short application for the life insurance policy and a short application for the irrevocable trust. The life insurance policy is guaranteed issue. A single premium payment is usually required; however, most carriers will allow payment over 10 years. Within 30 to 60 days of the life insurance application, the irrevocable trust will be in force. The money you placed in this trust, via the life insurance policy, will now be protected from Medicaid eligibility computations. It is a rather simple process.
Benefits Of A Funeral Trust
In addition to the benefits above, a funeral trust has the following advantages (dependent upon carrier):
- no cost to set up the irrevocable trust
- funds are available immediately for funeral payments upon death of the grantor (i.e. you)
- the funeral home receives the money directly; your family is out of the payment picture (thankfully)
- guaranteed issue life insurance. An applicant can't be denied insurance or the funeral trust, even in crisis situations
- the trust is portable from state to state
- funds used for the funeral home avoid probate
- trust proceeds are income tax free
- The money within the trust avoids Medicaid eligibility computations
- no 5 year look-back provision. Assets are protected immediately. (As Medicaid rules vary by state, it is best to check if your state has differing laws)
- most importantly, family members don't need to pay the funeral home or pay out of their own pockets. They have peace of mind
While we believe the advantages are plentiful, we would be remiss and negligent if we did not point out some disadvantages:
- it is irrevocable – like all irrevocable trusts, you can't access the money or change your mind later
- funds not used to pay the funeral home are brought back into your estate. They don't go to a beneficiary like a typical trust. However, to mitigate this scenario, ensure the appropriate amount is included in the trust. You can look up the average cost of a funeral to get an idea.
How To Fund The Funeral Trust?
Remember that any money in CDs, money market accounts, savings accounts, annuities, cash value in life insurance policies, non-qualified brokerage accounts – are all subject to Medicaid eligibility computations. These can easily be used to fund the life insurance policy. As a result, the money goes from a non-protected asset to a protected asset. Why is this important? These assets will have to be used to pay for nursing home care. By transferring them to a funeral trust, you can be certain the money will be there when your family needs it the most. The trust can easily protect assets from nursing home costs.
How To Find Out More
We believe a funeral trust can be a solid foundation to protect assets from nursing home costs. If you would like to learn more, or any of the other alternatives such as a traditional long-term care insurance policy or a hybrid policy, feel free to reach out to us. We can also facilitate a discussion with a qualified attorney who can speak to you in more detail about Medicaid and irrevocable trusts.

Introducing the Keyword Planner
Back in May, Google introduced the Keyword Planner: a new version of the Google AdWords Keyword Tool, a handy tool for both PPC and SEO folk for keyword research purposes.
Truthfully, for keyword research projects I've carried out recently, I've simply continued to use the (old) Keyword Tool. But recently I decided to try out the Keyword Planner, which I'd heard (on the grapevine that is Twitter) wasn't radically different to what it was replacing, as it was pretty much a merge of the Keyword Tool and the Traffic Estimator and therefore seemingly an aesthetic change that simply combined the two within a new interface.
In order to get properly acquainted with its layout, I decided to run the two tools side-by-side on a quick keyword check job.
A slight discrepancy…
And that's when I picked up on something alarming…
For effectively the same tool (i.e. one tool replacing the other), the data doesn't line up.
Looking at "it jobs" keyword suggestions for Computer Recruiter, I noticed discrepancies with both the search volume and average CPC data.
Here's "it jobs" in the (old) Keyword Tool:
And here's "it jobs" in the (new) Keyword Planner:
I included all three match types in the former because I wondered if that was the issue (as the KW Planner doesn't seem to let you choose), but they're all different anyway. Besides, in the Keyword Planner, if you hover the mouse over the [?] next to "Avg. monthly searches," you see this:
From the first paragraph (emphasis added):
The average number of times that people have searched for this exact keyword based on the targeting settings that you've selected.
So it should line up with KW Tool's [exact] match data, but… it doesn't.
12,100 for one, 14,800 for the other.
Now I'm 99% sure I've got all the settings right: same country, same language, etc. Maybe there's some hidden setting on the Keyword Planner I haven't found that's causing the discrepancy. But I'm pretty sure I've configured it properly and therefore the data should match.
Lower CPCs – a conspiracy…?
It's bad enough that the search volume data doesn't line up. After all, which one is the correct one (if either of them are)?! If I'm conducting SEO keyword research for a client, which data should I use?
But what's worse is this… For all the keywords I've checked, the average CPC is significantly lower in the Keyword Planner. Why is this a big deal? Well, if an advertiser sees a lower CPC for their keyword, they might be more inclined to go for it.
So is this merely a discrepancy between the tools, or a subtle conspiracy by Google to try and encourage a few more people to use AdWords?
Here's some data for you…
(Note: all the KW Tool CPCs are based on the [exact] match equivalent of each keyword)
"it jobs"
- KW Tool: £1.28
- KW Planner: £0.83 (£0.45 less; 35% lower)
"it recruitment"
- KW Tool: £5.28
- KW Planner: £3.03 (£2.25 less; 43% lower)
"car insurance"
- KW Tool: £8.88
- KW Planner: £5.97 (£2.91 less; 33% lower)
"payday loans"
- KW Tool: £9.92
- KW Planner: £6.43 (£3.49 less; 35% lower)
These aren't just subtle – for the latter few, you're talking the difference of a few quid. An advertiser may think that £5+ per click is too much to spend, but £3? Ahh heck, why not! They might see different data again when they actually use AdWords, but if it's all been sorted out with the boss signing it off and a budget assigned to it, the advertiser may continue to give it a go. And Google gets money that they may not necessarily have gotten otherwise…
So what now?
Honestly? I'd love to know what Google have to say about this. If one tool is replacing the other then why does the data differ anyway? Aren't they fishing from the same pool (so to speak)? Which one is right and which one is wrong? Why do the average CPC amounts vary so much? Hopefully we'll find out soon enough…

Update: @OldMatt has passed on this support article on AdWords Help where they explain some of the differences.

This helps you with sleeping comfortably whereas additionally protecting your neck in the course of the flight. These, however, should not the only standards that you must take note of. Although my wanderlust has since widened my journey targets, I hadn't fully appreciated the constraints of the forty-12 months-previous tin and birch veneer charmer. After three years of tenting within a four-hour secondary street circumference, shopping for glaciers-price of cube ices for a minuscule icebox and keeping fingers crossed towards salmonella, I used to be keen to confess that some trendy amenities packaged in heavy duty highway-suitable sheet metallic were properly worth consideration. And with family spread throughout the nation from Florida to Oregon, it was frustrating that my travel trailer couldn't travel far from house without taking a sabbatical.
When the boys weren't delivering supplies, they discovered their fun at a nightclub near their base which was run by Madame Dalacort as performed by Penny Santon. TV Guide Ad for episode for the Devilish Davidson Lights Incident airing on September 28, 1978.

On just about all airways just one pet carrier per ticketed passenger will likely be allowed within the cabin. The provider could comprise two (2) canines, however they should be the same kind or breed, a minimum of 8-weeks old, and the container with the dog can weigh no more than 20 kilos. Be very cautious on the load, or your canine could find yourself in the baggage compartment.

We employed out the electrical and plumbing and did the duct taping ourselves… we obtained what we paid for. $365 for the air conditioner, about $60 of different materials & labor including upgraded electrical outlets.
Note, always guantee that the agent takes the proper travel coupon out of your ticket. You might have some issues on the next leg of the journey if an agent unintentionally takes the mistaken one. This does not occur usually, however I counsel double checking than going by way of unnecessary bother. Propane was cheap, but that's not the case. Today you will pay the same or extra for it as you do for gasoline. This is why it is prudent so that you can find ways to make use of the least amount attainable.

About us, our Confusers, Flight Planning software and other useful utilities
Originally the idea of our PC based Private Pilot Confuser came out of need. The UK training program was changing from the original UK PPL scheme to the JAR syllabus.
Failing to find any PC based tests we created our own. The prototype was created in 1999 and I used this beta version to pass all my ground exams.
We started producing software for sale in 2000 with the introduction of our Private Pilot Confuser. This remains the only PC based PPL Confuser covering the EASA syllabus. Each year since we have revised and updated our software to keep it in line with the current question base.
A year later I undertook my IMC rating so we created the IMC Confuser and again I tested the beta version and used it to pass my ground exam.
In 2001 we introduced the IMC Confuser to our line-up.
Not content with regularly monitoring the questions in our question base to ensure that there are always questions which represent real exam questions we have also been busy enhancing the software that runs the tests you take.
In 2010 we introduced our Javascript version so that users of Mac, Linux and other operating systems could also use the PPL and IMC confusers to pass their exams.
in 2011 we introduced version 5 of our Windows version, this enhanced version allows you the same period of time that you will get in the real exam to make the experience of using our software even more realistic.
For 2012 we re-wrote the testing software for a greater functionality this has been written in Java so that all users regardless of operating system can enjoy a fully featured testing environment.

Making Gay History: The Half-Century Fight for Lesbian and Gay Equal Rights
From the Boy Scouts and the U.S. military to marriage and adoption, the gay civil rights movement has exploded on the national stage. Eric Marcus takes us back in time to the earliest days of that struggle in a newly revised and thoroughly updated edition of Making History, originally published in 1992. Using the heartfelt stories of more than sixty people, he carries us through the compelling five-decade battle that has changed the fabric of American society.
The rich tapestry that emerges from Making Gay History includes the inspiring voices of teenagers and grandparents, journalists and housewives, from the little-known Dr. Evelyn Hooker and Morty Manford to former vice president Al Gore, Ellen DeGeneres, and Abigail Van Buren. Together, these many stories bear witness to a time of astonishing change, as gay and lesbian people have struggled against prejudice and fought for equal rights under the law.
"Rich and often moving . . . at times shocking, but often enlightening and inspiring: oral history at its most potent and rewarding."—Kirkus Reviews

About the Author
Eric Marcus is the author of several books and coauthor of Breaking the Surface, the number one New York Times bestselling autobiography of Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis.
Read an Excerpt
Part One
At the close of the nineteenth century, more than fifty years before the gay civil rights movement took root in the United States, the first organization for gay people, the Scientific Humanitarian Committee, was founded in Germany. The then-radical goals of the committee included the abolition of Germany's antigay laws and the promotion of public education about homosexuality. The committee also set out to encourage gay people to take up the struggle for their rights. The rise of the Nazis brought a brutal end to the Scientific Humanitarian Committee, and for decades after, Germany's gay civil rights movement would remain dormant.
In the United States, it wasn't until 1950 that the gay rights effort really got its start, with the founding of an organization called the Mattachine Society. But the stirrings began years before, and included the Society for Human Rights, a very short-lived gay rights organization founded by Henry Gerber in Chicago in 1924, and the Veterans Benevolent Association, a gay veterans social group founded in New York City in the 1940s.
The years immediately following World War II proved to be an especially fertile time for those gay men and women who dared to imagine that something could be done to improve the challenging conditions under which many of them lived. A handful did more than just imagine. Among them was a young man named Sam From, who was a student in one of psychologist Dr. Evelyn Hooker's introductory night classes at UCLA in Los Angeles, California.
Dr. EvelynHooker
It became clear almost immediately that Sammy From was the most outstanding student in the class. He talked with me at intermission. He asked questions. There was just no doubt that he was the bright and shining star. You know, when a teacher finds a person like that, you fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
When Sammy discovered that I was taking the streetcar home after class, to save gasoline -- this was during the war -- he began driving me. Sammy had all the gasoline he wanted because he was writing million-dollar contracts between the Army Air Corps and the aircraft industry in this area. He had a high school education. His father was a junk dealer.
Our friendship developed gradually, but I had an idiotic policy then. I thought instructors should not fraternize with their students. It wasn't until he had finished my course that Sammy called me and asked if he could come over. We spent the evening talking. When he left, my husband Don turned to me and said, "Well, you told me everything else about him, why didn't you tell me he was queer?" I said, "How could you possibly tell? You're crazy!" To which Don replied, "He did everything but fly out the window."
Sammy was very eager to get to know us. He and his lover, George -- a much older man who was introduced as Sammy's cousin -- invited us to dinner, and we went. (It was a delicious dinner.) They wanted my approval so much that they were afraid to let me know they were gay.
I don't remember a time when Sammy or George said, "We're gay." They just gradually let down their hair and became very good friends of ours. They adored Don, who was very handsome, a marvelous talker. He was a sort of freelance writer in Hollywood and also worked on radio and did some painting. He liked them very much and wasn't bothered by the fact that they were gay. It wouldn't have occurred to him to be bothered by things like that because he had lived in Hollywood for a long time.
I didn't know much about homosexuality before I met Sammy, George, and their friends. As a matter of fact, when I was in college at the University of Colorado, The Well of Loneliness was circulating quietly. I remember reading it and thinking, Oh, gee. I wouldn't like to have to live my life with all that secrecy. But it has always made a lot of sense to me when gay people say, "I had to have been born this way because almost from the very beginning of my sexual consciousness I was interested in men" or "I was interested in women." I was interested in men from the time I was an adolescent, and there was never any question about that. I think that that understanding, together with the rather extraordinary cross section of society into which I was introduced by Sammy, made the difference.
In 1945, after I had known them for about a year, Sam and George invited us to join them on a Thanksgiving holiday in San Francisco. We had an absolutely marvelous time. Sammy was one of these people I described as an "if" personality. If all the restraints were off, if he didn't have to behave like a businessman or a manager, then he was funny, funny, funny! He was dramatic and campy.
On the first night we were in San Francisco, Sammy insisted that we go to Finocchio's to see the female impersonators. My eyes were wide! I'd never seen anything like that. Besides the dance routines, there were two old bags from Oakland who did a lot of female patter. It was funny, funny, funny! You absolutely believed that these female impersonators were the real thing. Then all of a sudden, they took out their breasts and bounced them up and down on the stage! The whole house just came down.
After the show, we came back to the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill for a snack. I was unprepared for what came next. Sammy turned to me and said, "We have let you see us as we are, and now it is your scientific duty to make a study of people like us." Imagine that! This bright young man, somewhere in his early thirties, had obviously...Making Gay History. Copyright © by Eric Marcus. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

Following the lives of gay individuals puts a different perspective on the LGBT community. Making Gay History begins in the 1940's and documents the gay rights movement all the way to the 21st century; it illuminates struggle and discrimination in a time of national ignorance. With interviews from gay rights activists this novel captures the true meaning of being an LGBT individual and provides first hand evidence of the hardships that go along with that identity. From losing jobs to being beaten and even being left to die, Making Gay History displays a huge revolutionary movement that is unfamiliar to many people today. This novel opened my eyes to the work put in by LGBT individuals and the lengthy path the gay rights movement has traveled to get to where it is today. This book shows many different views from military veterans to celebrity TV stars and how drastically their lives have been affected. This was one of the few books about history that actually captivated me and truly opened my eyes to the radical movement. Civil rights are for every human being and should be exercised as so no matter their race, gender, or sexual orientation. Everyone is created equal. My favorite part of Making Gay History was the stories that some people had especially when their parents stood by their side through the battle. Most notable of the stories was the one of a man, "Copy" Berg, who got dishonorably discharged from the navy for his sexuality and his father, a navy chaplain and commander, stood out and openly expressed how wrong it was that such a fine young man with such a "personal sense of honor" be dishonorably discharged for "telling the truth". This story showed the true love of a father that many (men especially) have difficulty displaying toward their gay child. My least favorite part of the book was the repetition of certain LGBT organizations and their activities. Although informative, much of the information seemed insignificant and repetitive. Overall, Making Gay History was one of the best, most enlightening, books I have ever read.
What is different about Mr. Marcus' book that separates it from the vast numbers of other LGBT collectables? For one thing, Mr. Marcus allows the characters in his work to speak for themselves. The author does remarkably little editing and most of that is setting the scene for each contributor. In all, over sixty individuals speak of their contribution to LGBT history. As Mr. Marcus puts it, "I'm offering just a taste as told through the stories and recollections of more than sixty people—from high-profile leaders to the little-known and largely forgotten men and woman who contributed in ways big and small." This was enough to let me know that much of the material would be unfamiliar terrain, rather than previously read historical scenes told in a different way. But would it hold my interest? Mr. Marcus dispelled such concern in his introduction where he wrote, "Here and there I lowered my bucket into the rich, swirling waters of the gay rights movement. And what I found was astounding, heartbreaking, thrilling and ultimately inspiring." For the most part, his analysis of his work proved correct. Making History is a fascinating book that I found difficult to put down. He begins with "The years immediately following World War II [which] proved to be an especially fertile time for those gay men and women who dared to imagine that something could be done to improve the challenging conditions under which many of them lived." His first story is the contribution of Dr. Evelyn Hooker. A young gay man slowly worked his way into a close friendship with his teacher, Ms. Hooker. In time he was able to talk the psychologist into researching and writing what became a landmark study of gay men. The main purpose of the study was to show that gay men are normal, not sick. Then there was Lisa Ben (her name an acronym for lesbian) who published the first known newsletter for lesbians in 1947. But Mr. Marcus does not write solely about LGBT political activists. He penetrates the entertainment field, the literary field, AIDS activists, religious workers, social workers, and others. The reader ends up with a rich diversity of LGBT personalities who made their mark on sexual minority history. Some of the names include such diverse persons as: Ellen DeGeneres, Al Gore, Kay Tobin Lahusen, Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby), Randy Shilts (author of And the Band Played On), Bishop John Shelby Spong, Ray "Sylvia Lee" Rivera (cross-dresser of Stonewall fame), and many others. On the whole, I enjoyed Making Gay History and heartily recommend it to all who have a wider interest in all the manifestations of the background of the LGBT movement. Bruce Stores is author of: "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: Its Encounter With Lesbian/Gay America" and "THE ISTHMUS: Stories of Mexico's Past, 1495 to 1995."
I liked this very informative and well written book. He does a good job of explaining this part of our history. I like that the whole book is interviews with people of importance ftom this culture. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn apt of things they did not know about this period in our history.

text: In his senior year my son's habit became too much to ignore. At school he had an altercation with someone and that person retaliated by keying "Dope Head" on his car. I didn't even know then that dope was heroin. So, I decided to take a hair test for drugs for my son. I didn't know then about Opiates, Benzo's etc., I didn't know heroin was an opiate. I was at work when they faxed the results and I saw positive for Opiates, looked it up and saw it could be heroin. I put together the "Dope Head" vandalism on his car and told him he needed to go to a rehab. He wanted to go to his prom first which was literally days away, his graduation the day after. I took him and his date to the prom. I didn't even save the pictures, he looked emaciated, eyes sunken, horrible. About two hours into the prom, the phone calls started. He needed to leave, he was getting dope sick. I went and picked them up and the next day I had to make the heartbreaking call to my parents. "Your grandson", who was like two peas in a pod with his grandma, "is not going to graduation, I'm taking him to a drug rehab instead." I'll never forget the disappointment I felt telling my parents. Horrible. Just so freaking sad. No one knew he was using drugs. I thought we would go to rehab and he would be "cured". He went to Veritas Villa upstate. He was the youngest person there at 18. I remember him looking at the older guys and saying he would never let that happen to him. It didn't. He didn't make it past 29… I visited, I went for parents weekend, did everything I was supposed to do to be supportive. He was so happy, always happy when he was sober. When he came home he was supposed to do 90 meetings in 90 days. That didn't last long and being with his friends and at that age, pills were used daily, before long he was using again. He went back to the Doctor that he knew would give him what he wanted and now he was 18, I had no rights regarding his privacy. The Doctor started as our family physician, he knew my sons history of addiction. Remember, this was in 2005, things were much different. My son was one of the first few in our town, or at least his school, to be introduced to heroin. This would cause us, as a family many problems, I had no idea.

Why FBVPN
You want to use a service or application that requires a US IP address.
A nice side benefit of using FBVPN services is that you can enjoy the use of a US IP address wherever you may be. Essentially, you will enjoy the same Internet as someone in the US.
You live in, or are visiting, a country that engages in Internet censorship or monitoring of content.
Beyond blocked services, more and more countries are engaging in Internet censorship or monitoring Internet users. FBVPN services will ensure full, anonymous, and uncensored access to the Internet from wherever you are.
You have a company-issued VPN but don't wish to use it for personal business.
When you use your employer's VPN, typically all your online activity is tracked by default. Also, using your employer's bandwidth and IP addresses for personal business is likely to be a violation of your company's policies.
You don't want your ISP or network owner to be able to monitor or control your online activities.
You call it "your" Internet connection but it really isn't. You rent access to the Internet under, often rather ominous, terms and conditions from an ISP, or you gain access through some other means under terms you aren't even privy to.
Often there is no evil intent, but there have been many cases, even in the United States, where individual privacy and access to the free Internet have been blatantly and willfully disregarded.
We believe it is every law-abiding individual's right to secure their data and protect their privacy online. Businesses wouldn't think of sending data without VPN encryption to protect their interests. What's good enough for them is good enough for you.
You don't want Google, Yahoo, and other Internet search engines recording every search you perform.
Just like your ISP, search engines record every search you do and tie it to your IP address. These searches can be stored indefinitely. With FBVPN service, only our IP address will be captured, not yours.

Leviticus on Diet and Exercise
Leviticus 11:1-47
(One Truth: Walk in Truth)
January 14th, 2018
I. Blue Shirt, Orange Shirt
William and his young family were refugees. The new country in which they lived was far better than their war torn country of origin, but it was still a hard place to live. The people there prided themselves in being arrogant and harshly rigid. But William and his family had few options. They decided to make the best of it as strangers in a strange place.
When William's oldest son was ready to begin school, he was thrilled the young boy was going to receive an education. But he soon recognized how social pressures inside and outside the school helped to shape each child according to that arrogant and rigid mold. Civic pride in this kind of outlook was symbolized by the color blue. It was the color of the nation's flag, and almost every child wore a blue shirt to school, even though it was not a requirement.
To counter these influences, William, before he put his son on the school bus, would say, "I love you, son. Be humble. Be gracious. Be brave." Every school day, he would tell the little boy the same thing: "I love you, son. Be humble. Be gracious. Be brave." But he also did something else. Every school day, he would make sure his son was wearing an orange shirt.
This morning we are once again returning to the strange, but spectacular book of Leviticus. Look with me, if you would, at Leviticus chapter 11.
II. The Passage: "It is Unclean to You" (11:1-47)
For those who were here, think for a minute about what God taught us last time. As we surveyed the four kinds of fire revealed in chapters 9 and 10, we walked away with a very practical reminder: our faith should be a careful faith. And to be careful is to be completely sober and serious when it comes to God's word, for He is a holy God and what he's revealed to us makes all the difference in terms of what is true and false, what is righteous and what is wicked, and about life and death.
In the aftermath of Nadab and Abihu's sin and judgment, in that time of shock and grief for their father, you may remember how God instructed Aaron, his high priest. Leviticus 10:10, 11:
"You are to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean, [11] and you are to teach the people of Israel all the statutes that the LORD has spoken to them by Moses."
So what we see over the next five chapters (11-15) is precisely this: specific teachings on what is "holy" and "clean", and in contrast, what is "common" and "unclean". And that teaching begins here in chapter 11 with clean and unclean animals.
We are not going to read about every animal listed here. I'd certainly encourage you to do that today or this week. What we'll do instead is look at three aspects of this chapter: first, we'll talk in general terms about the animals that are listed here; second, we will talk about some of the scenarios this chapter describes in terms of 'dos and don'ts'; and finally, third, we'll look at some of the remedies provided if there is a violation in regard to these animals.
Remember, our goal is to understand what the writer was saying to that first audience back then. That's critical if we are to ever understand what God is saying to us today.
1. Listing of Clean/Unclean Animals (vs. 2-44)
So look with me at the first three verses of chapter 11:
And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, [2] "Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth. [3] Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.
So for the most part, the rest of the chapter is concerned with that same issue: what animals the Israelites may eat. These are classified as clean animals. And as we just read, cloven-hoofed animals that chew the cud are considered clean. Now, clean animals of that kind are not actually listed here, only clarifications about which animals do not qualify (the most famous of course being listed in verse 7...the pig!). But a very similar list in Deuteronomy 14 provides the clean animals in this category:
These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, [5] the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep. (Deut. 14:4, 5)
Now if you drop down to the end of the chapter, and look at those closing verses, you can get a sense of what is covered in this chapter, and why. Verses 46 and 47...
This is the law about beast and bird and every living creature that moves through the waters and every creature that swarms on the ground, [47] to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living creature that may be eaten and the living creature that may not be eaten.
So we see groups that are very similar to the categories of Genesis 1: birds, water animals, and land animals divided between beasts of the field and creeping or swarming things (according to vs. 29, 30, that would be things like mice and lizards).
Now the big question is this: why are some animals labeled clean, and some unclean. Well, there have been a lot of different explanations over the centuries. But I think the one that best utilizes all the material here is the idea that for each category or sphere (sky, water, and land), there is a standard in terms of features and type of movement (like in verse 9, sea animals with fins and scales). Thus, the creatures that deviate from the norms are considered 'unclean'. So in verses 20-23, insects that have wings to fly, but walk on all fours, are unclean. And of course, birds like those listed in vs. 13-19 are all predators who eat animals, including blood; so since blood is not to be consumed (cf. 3:17), these birds are unclean.
So overall, as one commentator puts it, through these food regulations, "Israel was reminded that its life was to conform the norms of God's world in a moral and spiritual sense as well as physically, and that God had chosen them to be a holy nation." (Wenham)
2. Scenarios with Clean/Unclean Animals (vs. 8, 24-28, 31-40)
But in addition to not eating these animals, this chapter also mentions some other scenarios I which a person could become unclean. For example, early in the chapter, in verse 8, we learn that even touching the carcass, that is, even touching a dead animal, one that was 'unclean', would defile a person. And that prohibition is repeated a number of times in verses 24-28 and 31-40. Interestingly, even a 'clean' animal, if it dies naturally, was not to be touched. It too would defile a person under these holiness laws.
In addition to touching or carrying an unclean animal's carcass, the Israelites also had to be aware of an animal's carcass touching their pots and pans and water and food. If a dead mouse were to fall into your Aunt Naomi's clay food pot, guess what? Yep, it's ruined..for good. So again, there is a deviation from the norm, this time in regard to life. That which is dead is unclean.
3. Remedies for Clean/Unclean Animals (vs. 25, 28, 32, 33, 35, 40)
So what was an Israelite to do if he or she violated one of these laws? Well, at least six verses tell us about the remedies if one were to become defiled by one of these unclean animals. Interestingly, compared to the sacrificial remedies for sin described in the first seven chapters, these remedies are fairly simple.
For example, from verse 25 down to verse 40, you will find three different remedies: the first and always applicable remedy was simply to wait until the sun went down. After that, you were clean. The second, if applicable was to wash your clothes or wash your wooden food chest or wash your potato sack. The third was the most severe. If a clay pot or food or wet seed was defiled, it had to be smashed or thrown out. So there they are: 1) wait, 2) wash, or 3) to the waste pile.
Now there's a lot of information in this chapter, but I think those three points (i.e. the listing of, scenarios with, and remedies for clean/unclean animals) can help us understand the basic pieces of what's included. So the question were left with at the end of chapter 11 has to be "so what". Why does this matter? Two big New Year's resolutions: diet and exercise. But what is this chapter's message about diet teaching you about the exercising your faith today? Yes, it's strange. But is it really spectacular...for us?
III. How are You Different? (Acts 10:9-28)
But this is precisely where the NT is so helpful in helping us see the bigger picture. Turn if you would to Acts 10. As you turn there, let me remind you that Acts 10 takes place in the first years of the church, after the resurrection of Jesus. The Apostle Peter has been brought to Joppa, and is staying with a man named Simon.
What Peter does not know is that a Roman centurion named Cornelius, living in about 35 miles up the coast in Caesarea, has been visited by an angel and instructed to call for Peter. So Cornelius (again, a Gentile), sends two of his servants and one of his soldiers to fetch Peter. And we'll pick up in verse 9. Not listen for the connection to Leviticus 11. Verse 9...
The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. [10] And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance [11] and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. [12] In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. [13] And there came a voice to him: "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." [14] But Peter said, "By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." [15] And the voice came to him again a second time, "What God has made clean, do not call common." [16] This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven. [17] Now while Peter was inwardly perplexed as to what the vision that he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood at the gate [18] and called out to ask whether Simon who was called Peter was lodging there. [19] And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you. [20] Rise and go down and accompany them without hesitation, for I have sent them." [21] And Peter went down to the men and said, "I am the one you are looking for. What is the reason for your coming?" [22] And they said, "Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say." [23] So he invited them in to be his guests. The next day he rose and went away with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him. [24] And on the following day they entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. [25] When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. [26] But Peter lifted him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am a man." [27] And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered. [28] And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.
Did you hear that? The connection to Leviticus is obvious, right? The vision showed a great sheet with all kinds of animals, animals that were clearly classified as "unclean" in Leviticus 11. That's why Peter, an observant Jew says "No way!" to God's instruction to "kill and eat" (Peter probably thought it was some kind of test). But look again at God's explanation in verse 15: "What God has made clean, do not call common."
A change had occurred. God decided to change the revise the categories. Now, no animal was unclean. This fact is confirmed by many, many verses in the NT. And this change confirms that what some people still believe is certainly wrong: that somehow, the Levitical regulations about food were given for health and hygiene reasons. If they were, would God really change things? Did He stop caring about our health?
No, after a night thinking carefully about the heavenly vision and the centurion's invitation, Peter understood the implication. This change in the way Peter was to think about food pointed to a bigger change in the way Peter was to think about people (i.e. the Gentiles). You see, Peter understood that these food laws were designed for one reason: to help Israel see themselves as 'set apart'; a people distinct from their idol-worshiping neighbors.
This and so many of Leviticus's holiness laws were like that orange shirt in the opening illustration. William knew that an orange shirt had no power to make his son different. But it could set him apart. As hard as it was to stand out from the crowd, William's son would learn an important lesson about being different. And through that experience, his son might have a better chance of understanding what it means to be different in ways that matter most.
Israel was God's son. They were spiritually immature as His people. And so, they were given rules concerning things like food and clothing and tattoos and leprosy and dead bodies and sowing seed, all to prepare them for life as a distinct, as a different people.
But the maturing of God's people came with Jesus and the new covenant ratified by his blood. Remember, it was Jesus who (in Mark 7:14–23) said this after his disciples were condemned by the Pharisees for not eating with ritually pure hands...
And he called the people to him again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand: [15] There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him." [17] And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. [18] And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, [19] since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?" [this is Mark's comment](Thus he declared all foods clean.) [20] And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him. [21] For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, [22] coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. [23] All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."
So the list of Leviticus, its details about purity, point us forward to this list of Jesus. You see, what defiled back then was meant to teach us about what truly defiles; and by God's grace, to teach us how to live separate lives when it comes that which defiles the heart.
Today, as in times past, there is a powerful pull from the world, and a deep desire within us, to be accepted, even adores by the world. And even the word different has been used to this end. It's cool to be different, right? We say, "look at my hair; look at my clothes; look what I can do". But so often, our desire to be different is not to be set apart, but to stand out and rise above.
What I'm saying is this: God does not want us to be different as an end in itself, or for our own glory. That's not truly being different. That's simply conforming to the rebellious, misguided, me-centered, and ultimately deadly, way of the world. This is why the Apostle Peter encourages his readers by quoting from Leviticus 11 in his first letter:
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, [15] but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, [16] since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." (I Peter 1:14–16)
So what can we do? First, we can find true cleansing for our hearts at the cross of Christ. Come to him today and admit that your heart is corrupt, and that therefore, you've lived a conformed and compromised life. His forgiveness is real and always available. His grace is deep and lasting.
Second, pray today and ask God to help you live each day for an audience of one; that you would live first and foremost to please Him; that you would be willing to take up your cross each day and walk a very different path, different from what your sinful desires and the world around dictate. Read, meditate on, and pray according to His word. Surround yourself with people who will help you not only learn the Bible, but live out the Bible.
So in conclusion, we might ask, "Is there still some connection for God's people today when it comes to rules about food?" Actually, yes there is. Paul made this clear in I Corinthians 10:31. He told followers of Jesus...So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
And we do that by being set apart on the inside, by acting in Christlike love toward those around us, and honoring God above, above everything else.
