Spa City's Ballston Avenue intersections evaluated for walkability, safety
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Engineers and city officials garnered public comment about their proposals to improve the safety and walkability of a section of Ballston Avenue that saw an average of one accident a month for more than three years.
"There were 42 accidents in 42 months," said Peter Faith, the traffic engineering and planning department manager and assistant vice president of Greenman-Pedersen Engineering and Construction Services. His company has been evaluating the city's redevelopment of Ballston Avenue between its intersections with Hamilton Street and Lincoln Avenue.
That section of road has been on a list of projects awaiting state funds since 2007. Last year, the city moved forward with Greenman-Pedersen to evaluate the road and figure out how to improve it.
The group set out two alternatives Thursday.
Both include putting new signals at Lincoln Avenue and Hamilton Street and widening the road for a center turn lane. That would require acquiring land on either side of Ballston Avenue, City Engineer Tim Wales said.
"We are more developing right-of-ways that we already have," he said. "It's very minimal."
The solutions also include the addition of sidewalks to either side of the road, as well as street trees and decorative street lamps.
"Some of the sidewalks that are there now are in bad condition," Faith said.
There would also be pedestrian crossings at Lincoln Avenue, all of which would improve pedestrian safety. Faith pointed out there are a number of bus stops in the area, but few places for pedestrians to cross.
Nearby Lincoln Avenue resident Geoff Wood said the pedestrian benefits seem to be the biggest impact of the improvements. Continued...
"I think it's a great project overall. They are some sorely needed improvements," he said, "particularly the signal at the intersection of Ballston Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. A lot of people walk to Price Chopper. I see the pedestrian traffic every day."
The primary difference between the two is how the group handles the five-way intersection of Ballston Avenue, Union Street and Perry Street.
One plan would make Union Street north and south of Ballston Avenue as well as Perry Street all one-way heading away from the intersection.
The other plan would simply cap Union Street to the south of the intersection and Perry Street, leaving that a three-way intersection with Union Street to the north.
Wood said that was his concern, though. With the elimination of the Union Street through-fare, which he said is utilized frequently by people trying to get off of South Broadway, he is concerned about where that traffic will end up.
"Nothing has been decided on these two alternatives," Faith said.
The project is still working through details. Its $1.41 million price tag may be increased to about $2 million. At this point 95 percent of that tag will be paid for by state and federal funds. Its time frame stretches through 2013, but Faith and Wales said the idea is to not close the road — which has an average of 13,400 vehicles pass over it a day.
Public Works Commissioner Anthony "Skip" Scirocco said the project will not only make the area safer for pedestrians and traffic, but will also make the area more attractive and will adhere to the city's new Complete Streets Policy.
"This is the first major project the Complete Streets Committee can really sink their teeth into," Wales said.
Complete Streets is an agreement the city signed onto earlier this year that will ensure construction on streets includes consideration of pedestrians and other modes of transportation. Continued...
"Right now, the roads of Saratoga Springs are designed almost exclusively for motor vehicles," said Charlie Samuels, one of the members of the Shared Access Advisory Board, which administers the city's Complete Streets program.
Samuels said he's seen their proposals and "I think they're going in the right direction."
The Shared Access Advisory Board is supposed to weigh in on the project this week.

Iconic Saab 900 convertible turns 25
In happier Saab news, the iconic Saab 900 convertible is a quarter of a century old this year, having made its U.S. debut in 1986.
The 900 convertible played a key role in expanding the drop-top segment from a tiny niche in the market 25 years ago to its current . . . small niche.
Just three generations after the first car was delivered, almost 300,000 Saab convertibles have been sold around the world, and the Scandinavian drop-top marks the brand's global icon.
The Saab convertible has comprised up to 50 percent of total sales for the segment in European markets with milder weather, like the United Kingdom.
Saab sold 48,894 copies of its first-generation convertibles, from model year 1986 through 1993. It sold 149,145 copies of second-generation cars, from model year 1994 through 2002, and 99,535 units of the third-generation convertible to date, available since 2003.
Some fun facts about the Saab 900/9-3 convertible:
-- There are six swiveling crossbraces in the soft top to ensure minimum sagging and tight stretch in the raised position.
-- It takes 20 seconds to fully deploy the top with the engine running.
-- The ideal back-rest inclination for rear-passenger comfort is 21 degrees, which was a requirement for the 9-3 convertible.
-- The top can be raised at speeds of up to about 18 mph.
-- To check weatherproofing, roughly 396 gallons of water are sprayed over the convertible's soft top in a special chamber.
-- The latest Saab 9-3 convertible is most sought after in the colors black, steel gray or silver.

Is the time now the White House offering a compromise on its federal mandate regarding contraception.
We had to ensure that women have access to preventive services like contraception.
And that the policy also respects religious beliefs.
The those guidelines those criteria have been followed by.
The department in promulgating this rule this proposed rule.
Dabble in the applied to private sector firms with religious objections.
It's -- what does that change really mean for faith based institutions let's ask.
Fox News religion contributor Father Jonathan Morris who's -- to weigh in on this course controversial in this news came out on Friday afternoon maybe when they were hoping not a lot of people are paying attention to -- Super Bowl weekend a Friday afternoon.
What do you make of this fun.
Well first -- they have made it so confusing there's over seven.
No explanation of something that's been very simple for example from Amish and I don't believe in going to war.
With the government needs seventy pages to explain to the country what.
Amish groups do have -- some shouldn't don't have the exception exemption.
They have made -- unbelievably.
Complicated full of accounting gimmicks as well and in the bishops of the United States the Catholic missions for example.
Looking at it said we're gonna wait and try to figure out what this all means we don't understand it they are going to extreme.
Extreme levels to make sure that they are satisfying.
The Planned Parenthood lobby and others who wouldn't and it services.
This is what they're gonna get.
We want to go ahead and mention some of -- the details shirt and cut through a bit of the cluttered for that nonprofit religious employers will be able to opt out of the obamacare mandate -- insurers will be required to provide average which includes.
Both standard birth control and items.
Like the morning after pill so those that organizations are still going to be.
On the line -- have to be part of the problem.
Right so we know for sure that those for profit.
Companies who have many employees.
Who don't feel -- that and backwards -- conscience they can be paying for these things they are not exempt.
At all.
-- so we say okay churches are exempt and some -- -- -- know how many now summits and sickening trees number of nonprofit.
Organizations religious organizations are exempt certainly no private sector.
Organizations are exempt but you know -- here's the point.
The United States of America has always held sacrosanct.
And -- your conscience if you say I don't feel comfortable doing this.
-- -- it an extremely compelling reason for the state.
Because for example someone's gonna.
You know someone is dying and they says the state says -- you actually have to give them some health services they're dying but to come in and say.
This is such a compelling motivation for our our country to make sure that there is no co pay.
-- court -- -- the day after -- got I don't hobby lobby means so against this morally ethically just does not want to do this.
What's gonna happen -- he has to pay 100 dollars a day for every single employee that's correct 100 dollar a -- funny.
Why is that why is the government -- a million dollars of -- Why is the government so interested in making sure that only a few people only some people only -- -- It's out.
Sufficiently religious.
You get an exemption right and why we should it be after the government to let you know who is sufficiently really good news in my opinion is in my opinion.
It's good news but it's fact that eleven.

History made: White perch wins Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby
His victory marked the first in the history of the derby that an angler has won with anything other than a rainbow trout.
Under the old rules, the largest prizes went to the largest rainbow trout, but this year, derby organizers decided to hold a drawing among the anglers bringing in the top fish in all categories - lake trout, rainbow trout, white perch, yellow perch, cusk, pickerel, and black crappie.
It was Head's first derby victory. For his catch of a 2.76 white perch, caught on Big Squam Lake, he was entered into the final drawing. He couldn't believe his ears, he said, when his name was called for the top prize, $15,000 cash.
"I can't believe it," he said. When asked what he would do with the prize money, he answered, "I don't know yet."
Second place, a prize of $5,000, went to Lawrence Shipley of Belmont. Third place, $3,000, went to Thomas Knight of Hampton.
In past years, the top three prizes have been vehicles and fishing equipment. This year, having learned that some recent prize winners had sold their prizes for cash, and given the slow economy, derby organizers decided to award cash as prizes.

Highland Park's Saks closes
Updated: December 31, 2012 3:20PM
HIGHLAND PARK — The final day of 2012 also marked the finale for Highland Park's Saks Fifth Avenue store, the largest retailer in Renaissance Place, a mixed use complex of stores, restaurants, a five-screen cinema, offices and apartments in the central business district.
Saks Fifth Avenue opened its 49,000-square-foot store in Renaissance Place in 2000 at a time when large clothing retailers had mostly disappeared from downtown shopping districts on the North Shore. In September, the retailer announced plans to close the under performing Highland Park store along with one in Austin, Texas on Dec. 31.
The firm said the Highland Park store employed about 60 sales associates. The closing leaves only one Saks Fifth Avenue store in the Chicago metropolitan area, the flagship store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Saks closed its Old Orchard store in 2005 and its Oak Brook store in 2002. Saks will continue to operate its OFF 5TH store just south of the Lake Cook Road border in Northbrook.
Metzler Real Estate, which manages Renaissance Place at 1849 Green Bay Road, announced in September that it planned to pursue a new retail strategy for the property with the departure of Saks Fifth Avenue after the holiday shopping season.
"As part of the new retail strategy for Renaissance Place, we will be building a complementary mix of national, regional and boutique retailers, as well as quality restaurants to create a unique shopping experience that continues attracting visitors to downtown Highland Park," said Don Wise, chief executive officer of Metzler Real Estate, at the time, predicting some exciting announcements in the coming months. The statement pointed to renewed commitments from existing tenants as well as Italian restaurant Moderno.
Since then, Moderno chefs John des Rosiers and Phil Rubino decided to close Moderno as of Dec. 22 and reopen in early January as Royce, featuring American cuisine using fresh, locally-grown organic and sustainable ingredients, based on feedback from diners.
"We think this is a perfect fit for the neighborhood, and I'm sure that Highland Park's foodies will be eager to try a new dining experience that they themselves inspired," said Christiane Fischer, general manager of Renaissance Place.
While Perchance Boutique founder Mary Liz Lehman opted to test the suburban market with a "pop-up" store in Renaissance Place during the holiday shopping season — pointing to the vibrancy of the downtown shopping district — she said last week the experiment had not worked out and she would close down on Dec. 31. The "pop-up" store was expected to remain open until March 31.
The Saks Fifth Avenue store space represents about 22 percent of the combined 217,800 square feet of multifamily, office, retail, restaurant and cinema space in Renaissance Place, located between Green Bay Road on the west, Second Street on the east, Elm Place on the north and Central Street business properties on the south. Renaissance Place is Highland Park's single largest property taxpayer with an equalized assessed value of about $12.5 million, which translates into a market value of $37.5 million.

An excuse to get out of anything. Matt: Will you go to prom with me?
Maddie: ... Danny: AHAHAHA!!! Maddie: Naw, Im sorry. I have to go scuba diving! Matt: ...? |
1. | Scuba Diving | ||
The Act of a man placing one testicle over each nostril of a girl. Then after each testicle is securely in place, placing their cock firmly in her mouth. thus completing the scuba dive.
Kevin "I heard Lindsay died in a scuba diving accident yesterday"
Scott "yeah she suffocated" Kevin "Suffocated? Don't you mean drowned" Scott "No..." |
2. | Scuba Diving | ||
A code word meaning smoking weed. Scuba divers dive down deep beneath the surface of soberness into the depths of the ocean to explore the coral reefer.
Hey man, guess what?! I went Scuba Diving With Jim And Honore' the other day!!
Scuba Diving makes you faster. |
3. | Scuba Diving | ||
Similar to a "snorkel" in which a tall man (a spaniard, for example) leads a much shorter man (e.g. a slavik dwarf) into the sea. When the water becomes too deep for the dwarf to breathe without swimming, the taller man forces the dwarf's head under water and shoves his cock in the dwarf's mouth, mimicking a snorkel. However, scuba diving requires an even taller man (a Pollock, for example) and a much shorter man (a Japanese man), and the two explore the deep crevasses of the ocean floor. Especially effective if the Japanese man is only half Asian, as he will be less vindictive in the case of resurfacing. Christian: Chris, would you like to go scuba diving in Gloucester?
Chris: No. |
4. | Scuba Diving | ||
When a guy slides a hand down his pants without realizing it. Normally happens while watching T.V. Hey bro my girlfriend is coming over, will you make sure your not scuba diving in front of her like you always do.

7. | scuba diving | ||
Womping out (or) taking an inhalation of nitrous, i.e.- hippie crack, while performing the act of cunnilingus i.e. pussy diving. safety first. Mom knocked on the door while I was in the middle of scuba diving and I took another womp before getting out of bed.

For the past five years there have really been only two major smartphone systems: Android and Apple's iOS. Systems like the Windows Phone have been on the outside looking in. Microsoft aims to change that, and has been gaining ground, albeit slowly. The latest version of Windows Phone, Windows Phone 8, offers users a solid mobile system that will likely attract many business users. The problem is, it can be a bit of a chore to switch to a new system. However, Microsoft has recently released an app for Android users that makes this switch much easier.
If you have an Android phone and want to move over to a Windows Phone, Microsoft has recently released an app that can help. "Switch to Windows Phone", available on the Google Play store, is an app that scans your device for installed apps and then links them to your Microsoft Account. It will also tell you how many 'matched apps' are available for the Windows Phone.
Matched apps are either the Windows Phone version, or a similar app that has the same functionality. It is highly likely that you will see more than 70% of your Android apps available on the Windows Phone Store.
After you have matched your apps on the Android device, you can then download the companion app from the Windows Phone Store, log in to your phone using the same Microsoft Account and the app will show you the available apps and allow you to tap on them to install them.
If you have synced your contacts, email and calendar with a Google Account on your Android, you can also log into this on your Windows Phone and the three should sync automatically. This means that switching is technically as simple as signing into two accounts on your Windows Phone.
Looking to switch? Download the free Android app from Google Play here. You can find the free companion app on the Windows Phone Store here. Check back next month for an in-depth look at how to switch to a Windows Phone from another system. If you are considering switching, or would like to learn more about how a smartphone can help make business easier, contact us today.

Breaking News from CNN Reported at 11:46 AM CDT: The soldier killed in London's Woolwich area yesterday was Lee Rigby, 25, a father of a 2-year-old boy. Rigby, described as "always smiling," served as a machine gunner in Afghanistan, played in the military's Corps of Drums and was a recruiter in London at the time of his death, the military says. [ See More ] Rigby was killed in a gruesome attack on a London street. A cleaver-wielding man with bloody hands addressed a camera after the attack with Rigby lying mutilated in the street behind him. "The only reasons we killed this man ... is because Muslims are dying daily," he said in video aired by CNN affiliate ITN. Two suspects are in custody and Prime Minister David Cameron says Britain's security services will not rest until they bring all those responsible to justice. [ Hide ] | ||||||

Whether you are working in a complete custom software development shop with little vendor interaction or a technology integration shop with vendor solutions integrated with other vendor solutions on top of yet other vendor solutions, you will have to manage vendor relationships to some degree as an IT manager in a MidWestern company. This series looks at the complex arena of IT vendor management and offers some tips to make the arduous process a bit less arduous and possibly discover some additional benefits along the way.
Vendor Management Category
- How to Leverage Tech Support
In the previous article, we looked at the importance of opening a vendor support case for technical issues and following the process to the letter to avoid process fumbling to reflect poorly on you and your team. In this article, we look to engage the Vendor Sales Cheese when the vendor technical support case isn't getting resolved effectively and how to turn this around to drive beneficial pricing.
Drag the Vendor Sales Cheese into the technical support problem
One thing a good Vendor Sales Cheese is effective at is getting folks within his or her organization to move quickly to close a sales deal. Why not leverage that ability to your advantage to put more pressure on solving your technical support issue so you and your team can move on to more important work?
If you haven't had your technical support case solve the problem, your technical support case probably looks something like this:
Day 1 = Your Team: problem reported, steps to re-create the problem shared, log files capturing the error shared.
Day 2 = Vendor: "Try changing setting <blah>.<blah>.<blah> from TRUE to FALSE and provide the log files if it doesn't fix the problem."
Day 2 = Your Team: Setting changed, problem still exists, support case updated, log files capturing the error shared.
Day 3 = Your Team: request status on case
Day 4 = Your Team: request status on case
Day 4 = Vendor: "Please download patch 3498345, apply and provide the log files if it doesn't fix the problem."
Day 4 = Your Team: Patch applied, service now crashes immediately upon starting, support case updated, log files capturing the error shared.
Day 6 = Your Team: request status on case
Day 7 = Your Team: request status on case
Day 8 = Vendor: "Please uninstall patch 3498345 and download patch 3498350, apply and provide the log files if it doesn't fix the problem."
Day 8 = Your Team: First patch removed, second patch installed, problem still exists, support case updated, log files capturing the error shared.
Day 9 = Your Team: request status on case
Day 10 = Your Team: request status on case
Day 11 = Vendor: "Please download patch 3498351, apply and provide the log files if it doesn't fix the problem."
Day 11 = Your Team: update the case with "we are not even running that version of your software on our technology platform as already indicated in the case and thus we cannot install that patch. Now what?"
Day 12 = Your Team: request status on case
Clearly, you and your team are burning hours on this issue and not making much progress and worse, not getting quality service from the vendor without any real resolution in sight. Time to get the Vendor Sales Cheese involved:
Boss: "Hey, Vendor Sales Cheese, it is Boss from ABC Company. Can you take a look at support case number 596784 we just opened? I think we are getting the run around after the case has been opened for 12 days. Heck, the last entry from your support asks us to install a patch that doesn't even match our technology platform which is clearly needed to open the case in the first place."
Vendor Sales Cheese: "This doesn't sound right. Let me look into this right away and get back to you."
Boss: "By the way, we need this issue fixed otherwise it is going to be brought up in our license renewal discussions next week/month. I can't believe it is time to talk about new licenses already."
Vendor Sales Cheese: <with even more urgency> "Don't worry; I'll get to the bottom of this straight away."
The key to this whole exchange is to link the need for this technical support case to be closed to the next sales opportunity. Besides being in the Vendor Sales Cheese's positive relationship interest, now, more importantly, it is a barrier to a sales interest. You now have a highly motivated sales person to put pressure on the technical support arm of the vendor's organization to clear through the process morass and get the problem resolved as quickly as possible.
Finally, how can consistent tracking of vendor technical support cases drive beneficial pricing?
By keeping an accurate track of each poorly handled support case and creating a plausible story that suggests a consistent struggle with the existing support arrangement can pay dividends. Those dividends may not be in explicit price reductions, but thee could be. Rather, you may find you have leverage to get an improved support arrangement for the same price. The Vendor Sales Cheese may be able to add in something similar to:
- Ability to use a "priority code" to have your tickets skip the first level of support and go directly to a stronger second tier
- Ability to use an inside "customer advocate" that you can drag into cases the minute they start trending negative or as soon as you open the case and want to impress upon the vendor the urgency or severity of the issue and need for fast resolution
- Improved SLAs which actually improve your ability to get cases routed to experts rather than just artificial improvements such as "response time for a new case from 24 hours to 12 hours" which look good on paper but only provide case acknowledgement slightly sooner and no change to resolution expectations
Thus, not usually direct dollars off the top, the ability to negotiate an improved support arrangement without impacting the price ultimately benefits you, your team and your company with lower overhead involved in getting product technical issues resolved more quickly.
In addition to these perspectives on achieving beneficial pricing, can anyone share additional techniques to link poor technical support case experiences to squeeze out the best pricing scenarios for your company? Look for the next article to pick up where this article left off with more MidWestern IT perspectives on the topic of the "Product Versioning and the Upgrade Cycle" in the spectrum of vendor management.

Heart of Florida United Way Received Grant from Walt Disney Company
In response to urgent need among many local military veterans, The Walt Disney Company Foundation and Dr. Phillips Charities have contributed to Heart of Florida United Ways (HFUW) Veterans Assistance Program. The program is designed to assist veterans and surviving spouses in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties who are struggling to pay for food, rent, utilities and other life necessities.
We know that military veterans and their families face many challenges as they transition back to civilian life, said Robert H. (Bob) Brown, HFUW president and CEO. While veterans represent just 9% of the overall population, they represent 17% of those who are homeless across our nation. Here in our own community, Heart of Florida United Way is grateful for the support of The Walt Disney Company Foundation and Dr. Phillips Charities to help local veterans survive difficult times, get back on their feet and lead healthier, more financially stable lives.
The Walt Disney Company Foundation has provided $367,500 and Dr. Phillips Charities has provided a grant of $132,500. As a result, HFUW estimates this $500,000 will be able to help an additional 135 veteran households or 345 individuals over the next year.
A similar program was funded with $238,650 from the Veterans Administration, which United Way administered on behalf of the Homeless Services Network of Central Florida. To date, 95 veteran families or 242 individuals have received temporary financial assistance, case
management support and other resources that have helped them stabilize their crisis and return to financial self-sufficiency; however, 80 potential clients remain on a wait list.
For us to have the blessing of freedom, we must be willing to support those who fight and die to preserve freedom, said Robert L. Mellen, III, president of Dr. Phillips Charities. Dr. Phillips Charities counts it an honor to help our veterans and their families help themselves.
Veterans or surviving spouses needing assistance can access help by simply dialing 2-1-1, United Ways free, 24-hour information and referral service and crisis helpline. Qualified households will then meet with a case manager who will access the need for services, which may include rent, utility, transportation or childcare assistance.
The Veterans Assistance Program is being administered by the United Way Stewardship Department, which last year provided emergency assistance to more than 62,900 Central Floridians who were at risk of homelessness, hunger and other critical problems.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Recently I spoke with a dear friend who has been trying to lose weight for quite a while. She told me about a 3 day diet that she began that doctors give to heart patients who are having surgery but need to drop a few pounds first. You do this diet for 3 days out of the week for however long you want to lose weight. I did this diet in 1988 and lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks. It was incredible. I've been trying to lose some weight that I've gained since my surgery and had totally forgotten about this diet until Mary mentioned it to me again. Well Mary lost 5 pounds in the first 3 days. I asked her if she is going to do it again next week and she said she didn't know. I couldn't comprehend that answer because we'd been talking for ages about losing weight, working out, etc. and this finally worked!
Sometimes people don't really feel that they deserve something that they keep saying the want. You have to really believe you deserve whatever it is you want in your life to receive it. We are all guilty of somehow sabotaging ourselves when we say we want something but either really don't, or don't believe we should have it. Maybe you wish you had more clients for your business, but then there are days where you think to yourself, "Gosh, I sure wish I could have a few days off next week", or "I'd really like a good man in my life", but then you keep saying, "I attract all the losers, that must be what I deserve, I can never find a good man!" Or, maybe like Mary you really want to lose weight and get fit and healthy, but inside you may not feel attractive so you try diet after diet, work out after work out program, drop a few pounds then decide not to keep doing it no matter how easy it is.
To receive we must be in alignment with the universe. The doubts and negative self talk we do is not in alignment with the universe. God is pure, loving, positive energy and that is where we must be to receive what we desire. The more you think about something, the more emotion you put into those thoughts, the quicker it will come! Good or bad, whatever it is you focus on the universe will deliver. Pay attention to those thoughts! Change the negative into positive thoughts as soon as you notice! Get excited about what you are asking for. Feel what it feels like to have it! Then be grateful for everything you have in your life. The more grateful you are the more God gives.

Seeds of Satan's Lies in My Brain?! o.O
I am a high school freshman girl who has many friends who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and believe it is a possibility that I, myself, may
be lesbian or bisexual. Recently I discussed with one of my youth leaders whether or not my church believes it is a sin to be gay, and she said that it was. There was a long conversation with not very much sensitivity towards the subject, as I did not mention the possibility that I may be myself. (I was fairly certain she would be upset if I did, as she basically said that my friends were being blinded by Satan along with my friends planting seeds of Satan's lies in my head, even if unintentionally.) I had told her the small parts of the argument that I knew, such as people in medieval times who were tortured would not have 'chosen' to willingly be tortured, possibility of mistranslation, but I didn't have a solid source, and she had the Bible and 'the dangers of homosexual sex'. After, she told me to do some research, probably hoping I would find articles about how it is wrong and dangerous. And I did. But along with them, I found in Rev. Mel White's article here and many of the strong points that I need to possibly get my leader to understand. And today, I am planning on bringing said article, or part of it at least, to see what she says. Wish me luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 31,173 verses in the Bible. I disagree with 6 or 7 of them in particular, or rather, how people have decided to interpret them. Therefore, I disagree with 0.0002% of the Bible. Thats 1/5000th. Can you accept that? ~Snuffy |
In other words, your youth leader says that an evil monster that we can't see or hear lurks among us and gets inside our brains to control our thoughts and desires.
Here are some questions that you might consider asking your youth leader: 1. Where exactly is Satan? 2. Where does Satan live? 3. What does Satan look like? 4. What does Satan sound like? 5. Has anyone ever seen Satan? 6. What empirical evidence do you have that an evil, invisible monster exists? 7. What empirical evidence do you have that an evil, invisible monster can invade our thoughts and control our behavior? 8. Does this evil, invisible monster follow us everywhere we go? Does he float in the air? How does he move about? 9. Where in the Bible does it say that an invisible, evil monster controls the thoughts of homosexuals? 10. What does science say about the existence of an evil, invisible monster? 11. What do psychologists say about the existence of an evil, invisible monster? 12. What does neurobiology say about the belief in an evil, invisible monster? If your youth leader can't provide you with empirical, trustworthy evidence that this evil, invisible monster truly exists then you may want to suggest that his thinking is extremely childish and that he is suffering from delusion. You may suggest that he seek counseling and some serious self-analysis. Rick Last edited by Rick336; 02-28-2010 at 12:38 PM. Reason: clarification |
Well, I thank you for your support, but I do believe that Satan exists and can cause issues etc. But unfortunately, your message got to me after I spoke with her, and it did not go over so well. She said that I could try to rationalize all I want, but it is still wrong, and she confronted me about possibly being a lesbian myself. I told her the truth and after a bit of discussion, she said that she could see that I was set in my mindset and that she could also see that I was being blinded by Satan. It turned into sort of a bad debate. When I made a point or asked a question she couldn't really answer, she changed the subject, though slightly subtle. Also, she said that by going lesbian, I am insulting God by choosing 'second best' because he 'has the perfect man for me' *headdesk* And she is praying for me.

Snuffy, like you I believe that Satan is real and does exist. I also know tht God does not condemn us because of our sexuality or gender. If God doesn't condemn you then what she says or believes doesn't really matter. It's tough to try to convince them that God accepts you as you are.
'Be who you are.' Let no one define who you are.' blog:www.difecta.blogspot.com www.epistle.us |
Homophobic people always say that we are trying to "rationalize" or "justify" our position instead of believing what the Bible says. They never see themselves as justifying their misinterpretation of Scripture.
Since you are female, it is very easy for you to refute any Bible passage thrown at you. There are some passages that can be misinterpreted to say that being a gay man is against God's will, but they are all strictly male only. The only passage that can even remotely pertain to lesbians is in Romans One where Paul says, (about unbelievers who gave themselves over to idolatry) "Even their women exchanged natural relations with unnatural ones." It doesn't even mention what "unnatural" is. And it talks about women who gave up what was natural to them. If you are a lesbian, your attraction to other women is totally natural for you. To try to enter in a relationship with a man would be unnatural. A person who believes in a literal interpretation of the Bible will have to weasel around to get it to say that being lesbian is unnatural. It does not say that. There isn't another verse that can be used to condemn lesbian relationships, none. We guys have it a little harder, but not much. Psychological and other scientific evidence is increasingly showing that same-sex attraction is totally natural among humans and in the animal kingdom. A person who believes that we gays are "blinded by Satan" should be asked how she/he knows that we are the ones blinded by Satan and not the other way around. Is the person willing to admit that they may be wrong in their understanding or are they certain that they are right? If you are with a person who is willing to pray with you, right then would be a good time to enter into prayer and ask that the Holy Spirit would lead each one of you to the truth, and give you humility to listen to the Holy Spirit's leading. And the "one man - one woman" argument always comes up. But that phrase is not Biblical. Just mentioning the numerous Old Testament stories where God blessed polygamous marriages does away with that. If the argument then progresses into "that was just in Old Testament times, not now", I find I can always say, "So we need to interpret the Bible in the historical context in which it was written?" That shoots the whole literal interpretation idea because looking at the few New Testament clobber verses shows that Paul was absolutely not talking about loving same-sex attraction or relationships. "God's will is for a man and a woman to be together" Again nowhere in the Bible does it say that is the only way. And what about people called to celibacy? Anywhow enough rambling from me. I am getting on a rant. The same tired old, non-scriptural arguments always come up. They are so easy to refute and clarify. I pray that all goes well for you. Enjoy being what God made you to be. Tu Amigo, Pablo
For I am convinced that neither life nor death...neither the present nor the future nor anything in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 |
It's difficult...
Thank you all so much for your input. I find it very upsetting that the people of my church preach over and over the importance of love and acceptance, but they frown upon it in that Christian-ly I-don't-hate-you-you're-just-wrong-and-I-should-fix-you sort of way. And what makes it so difficult is that there is sometimes not much sensitivity towards the subject when I spoke to my youth leader. (As you could probably guess, because what's more blunt than, 'Your friends are planting seeds of Satan's lies in your brain and you are being blinded by Satan.'?) And I have pretty chronic low self-esteem, and so being rejected in the Christian-ly We-still-love-you-we-just-want-you-to-change-who-you-are sort of way for who I might be doesn't really help. And what makes it thornier is that I am one of the people who I guess has a 'choice', but it's not really, 'I want to be a lesbian' as much as the fact that I have had some bad experiences with boys, and therefore shy away from them. And because of this, my leader is praying that God heals the wounds of my heart, (and probably in turn, lead me back to boys). And since it is more of a 'choice', they probably think they are more justified in trying to change me as I was technically born heterosexual. Oh, and Pablo, I tried explaining my reasoning to her, often relevant to or quoting the Bible, but she was solid in her belief. I feel a bit stubborn for not being willing to change my beliefs, but the church is sort of the one imposing for change, while I just want acceptance. And it's really nice finding a group of Christians who really don't judge me. It's just frustrating the hypocrisy that my church has, and how closed-minded they are being. And I know this wasn't her intent, but my leader has me feeling guilty about the possibility of being bisexual or lesbian, and said that she doesn't want to see that when I'm at the gates of heaven, Jesus saying that I turned away from him and that I didn't love him. And really, I know my leader has good intentions with her concern and praying but to me, prayer for 'fixing' homosexuality seems akin to someone going up to a black person and saying 'Oh you poor child! I'll be praying that God fixes you!' *ends neurotic rant* ... For now XD I'll probably be back in about an hour if someone else posts or I remember something I wanted to vent about. Again, thank you all for being so considerate and patient~

It sounds to me like the youth leader doesn't know squat about human sexuality, and certainly nothing about homo/bisexuality. Are those gay men who stayed with and cared for partners dying of AIDS "blinded by Satan?" Are the many LGBT persons throughout history who have given us works of art, literature, and made other contributions blinded by Satan? Are people like Judy Shepard, who watched her son die because two men beat his head in, and now speaks publicly about erasing hatred towards those who are different blinded by Satan? Are the LGBT organists, pastors, theologians, worship leaders and others who have served their churches and ministered to people just as faithfully as anyone else also blinded by Satan?
Being gay/bi/lesbian is about who and how we love. Is love of Satan? Sounds like you handled the situation well. Good luck in future conversations!

Created As We Are
The first sentence in your last post speaks volumes. How God works in a person is between the person and God. God created you as a lesbian and that is wonderful. He created me as a transgender person. Why is it that some try to fix us because tey cannot accept that we're different and unique? Noting wrong with that at all.
LGBT people have created and achieved much throughout the centuries. I wonder what would happen if I pointed out in the bible that there are many eunuchs throughout the bible? And I believe wholeheartedly that there were many same-sex couples who did mighty things. Gennee

"I was born okay the first time" is more than a bumper sticker. It's true. Be renewed by the transforming of your mind. You can read the Beatitudes and apply them to your current circumstances. You may very well have to pray in secret.
Reading Max Ehrmann's "Desiderata" can be uplifting.
Ben N. Moore It's great to have here to be. |
youth leaders
Like everyone else, can be blinded- not by satan, but by their own ignorance.
You are right Snuffy- there is a gap between what the church and those in it say and what they do. In a perfect world, there would be more action and less talk. More love and less condemnation. Antiochian has made perhaps the most important point. Your youth 'leader' is not displaying even a basic knowledge about human sexuality. It's as though the 19th and 20th and 21st centuries didn't happen. This is flat world thinking! As well, neither belief in God or the Devil is necessary for treating one another with kindness. You don't have to debate those who are less educated that you. In fact, that isn't a debate at all, but something or an argument. Doesn't matter if you are gay, straight, blue or green- you deserve the respect and kindness accorded to every living being. Stand tall sister.
Be the love you seek. |
Know that when history looks back at this, that YOU, Snuffy, are at the right side of the argument.
Oh, honey, I wish I could give you a hug. I so understand. (I came out as a church leader, and it wasn't what you'd call well received.) It's hard. Know that there are understanding and accepting Christians (and churches) out there, and you will find them if you keep looking.
Blessings. |
My mom says the exact same thing... I do believe satan can lie to you, I once thought God wanted me dead, because I was gay, which led to numerous suicide attempts (for some reason none of them were successful) and I realized it really was a lie of Satan, and God still loved me.
Just asking here.
Why are so many of us prone to project our worst fears onto an outside force? Why not just own up to the what we can know without the projection? That we are having the thoughts we are having while we are having them. As such, WE are responsible for them. This site is devoted to non-violent change. The motto is "be the change you seek" not 'the devil made me do it, think it, or eat it.' Bottom line here is this: with or without god, flesh or the devil, we each can choose to live better lives, and change those things about ourselves which are not compassionate and loving. I mean, that's what it's all about isn't it?
Be the love you seek. |
Rick |
I may not say it often enough. Daniel and Rick you guys are both awesome. There are many others here as well. Props to everybody.
Ben N. Moore It's great to have here to be. |
*happytear* You guys are all so supportive <3 I really didn't get far with my youth leader, and things didn't work out with the girl I liked. She has a boyfriend now (irony. Also, my youth leader thought it was a bit funny, in the ironic sense >.>) but we're still friends. And as I said before, I'm not so sure I'm lesbian or bisexual (one of my friends said I'm 'pansexual' because I love regardless of gender?) but my neurosis is sort of flashing towards insanity, like fits of laughter when I'm crying, hysteria, etc. I don't know, I think I'm just getting impatient waiting for someone to care about me romantically... *end TMI rant?* Sorry I'm laying all my random issues on you guys... ^_^;
"Beloved let us tolerate one another. For tolerance is of God and everyone that tolerates is born of God and knows God. He that tolerates not, knows not God for God is tolerance." 1 John 4:7,8 |
More Irony
That's actually quite ironic as well. She prays frequently for me to have 'God's best', but I don't appreciate that she insists that for me, God's best would be a boy. And I'm not really sure if I'm just a wimp or if it's God trying to tell me something, but very soon after considering that I, myself might be gay, I have gone through a lot of emotional turmoil. And it hasn't even been from harassment. It's been mostly since finding out my youth leader didn't approve, that went hand in hand with distancing myself slowly from God. And it's possible it is just coincidence, but since having a crush on a girl, I've been even more mentally unstable because of feeling like I'm rejected from both sides. |
"Snuffy" (That's a terrible name for a girl, isn't it?)
In the Old Testament, it was mostly about rules, laws, and God's Judgment. The New Testament is mostly about love and forgiveness. Learning how to love yourself, and love others.
It is not so much about how much God had grown, as about how much our understanding of God, and of ourselves has grown. More and more we are learning that sexual orientation is something that we are born with. Many people would say the God created us that way. There are so many people who believe that whom we are attracted to is a choice. Of course, most of these people are straight, and have never questioned who they are attracted to. The truth is, before puberty, most of us aren't attracted to much of anybody, and boys play with boys, and girls with girls. It would be good for you to be able to talk to LGBT people, but that is much easier to do in a big city. Good luck, BruceChris

How to become a host family
We are always looking for new families that can provide high quality accommodation in private, welcoming homes.
We specifically want well-appointed rooms with adequate space for studying, with easy access to a private or shared bathroom.
Families need to welcome the student into their home as a guest, rather than a lodger. Students that choose to stay with a family are looking for more than just a room to sleep and study in.
What do our clients expect from their homestay experience?
The most important thing is that they feel welcome and part of the household. Our clients are only here for a short time and will form an impression relatively quickly. In addition to the above they will expect:
- A friendly welcome, with explanations of how to use things in the house and the best way to get to school.
- Information about local shops, restaurants, pubs and other facilities.
- Advice or help if they have problems.
- Facilities to do their washing and ironing - the host is expected to offer to do one wash per week for them.
- Breakfast every day.
- Evening meals according to the type of booking you have accepted.
- Sheets and towels (laundered once a week).
- Facilities for a bath or shower every day.
- The opportunity to receive telephone calls (within reasonable hours).
- The opportunity to watch TV either in their rooms or in the household TV room.
What can you expect from your guest?
- To be considerate and to remember that you are staying in someone's home, not in a hotel.
- Not to smoke in the house if you are staying in non-smoking accommodation.
- Not to make a noise if you come home after 10.30pm, when other people in the house may already be asleep.
- To close the front door properly when you return, and lock any doors or windows they have asked you to.
- To turn off lights and heating where possible
- To be considerate if you are sharing the bathroom with your hosts or other guests, so they are not held up.
- To keep the bathroom as tidy as possible, and clean up after you use it.
- To keep your own room reasonably tidy, so that it can be cleaned.
- To let your hosts know if your plans change during the day - for example, you decide that you do not want an evening meal with your hosts.
- To let your hosts know if you intend to stay out all night or until the early hours of the morning. If you do not they may worry about you, or need to lock doors and windows.
- To allow your hosts some privacy so that they can lead their own lives. Do not expect them to be there all the time just for you.
If you are interested in being a host family please contact us for further details, rates and an interview.

This Music Monday, in honor of the final two American Idol contestants both being country singers and loving every duet they did together; I decided to share my favorite country duets. Some heartache, some passion and a whole lot of twang. Happy Listening ♥
Tim McGraw & Faith Hill – It's Your Love
*It's your love,
It just does something to me,
It sends a shock right through me,
I can't get enough and if you wonder
About the spell I'm under, oh, it's your love*
Carrie Underwood & Randy Travis – I Told You So
*If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away,
Would you tell me that you love me too and would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say
I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you someday you'd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again*
Alison Krauss & Brad Paisley – Whiskey Lullaby
*The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain a way, a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind*
George Strait & Lee Ann Womack – Everything But Quits
*We've thrown around goodbyes
Called us off a thousand times
We've called it everything but quits
We've said some things that hurt
But love's always had the last word
We've called it everything but quits*
Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood – Remind Me
*Remember the airport dropping me off
We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop
I felt bad cause you missed your flight
But that meant we had one more night
Do you remember how it used to be
We'd turn out the lights and didn't just sleep
Remind me, remind me*
Willie Nelson & Lee Ann Womack – Mendocino County Line
*I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time.
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine.
I used to make you happy once upon a time,
But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County Line*
Johnny & June Cash – Long-Legged Guitar Pickin' Man
*Well I stole the Hope diamond
Hopin' I could shut your mouth,
But how am I gonna wear it
If I got to hide it out.
Oh you big mouthed woman
You long-legged guitar pickin' man
But we can work this out
Uh huh, yes mam, I think we can*
Trisha Yearwood & Garth Brooks – In Another's Eyes
*In another's eyes
I'm afraid that I can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And I pray they never do
'Cause every time I look I'm seein' you
In another's eyes*
And last but not least, because I'm OBSESSED:
Kelly Clarkson & Jason Aldean – Don't You Wanna Stay
*Let's take it slow
I don't wanna move too fast
I don't wanna just make a love
I wanna make a love last
When you're up this high
It's a sad goodbye
Don't you wanna stay here a little while?*

Everyone finds something to b**ch about on every Cod that comes out and do you know what ? I think Cod Bop2 and Mw3 and all of the rest are the best online games ever ! if you dont like it then dont buy it !
And also lag isn't the creators fault , it's yours for picking a crappy internet provider !
Ps. join my clan if you have 1.00kd +
Host does it. For example im from Europe and when i play after midnight (2-4am) i end up with american people and when theyre hosting the game it causes lag.
