The bill will now move to the House of Representatives where it will have to pass committee and floor action before going to Gov. Quinn.
A bill to legalize same-sex marriage passed the Illinois Senate early Thursday afternoon, making a happier Valentine's Day for gay couples across the state.
The Senate passed the bill—SB 10—with 34 votes in favor, 21 votes against and two abstentions. The bill will now go to the House of Representatives, where it will need 60 votes to pass.
The bill will now go over to the House of Representative where it will have to repeat the same process before going to Gov. Quinn, who already voiced his support of the bill in a Chicago Tribune report.
If passed, the state law defining marriage would be changed from an act between a man and a woman, to two people.
"I've been told it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when it's going to be done," veteran marriage equality advocate Rick Garcia, senior policy advisor at The Civil Rights Agenda, told the Huffington Post last week.
But not all were in favor of the bill. Bishop Thomas Paprocki, of Springfield issued a statement saying Catholics who, "propose or promote the legal establishment of marriage as something other than the union of one man and one woman harm the common good of society."
If passed, Illinois would be the 10th state to have a marriage equality law in the country.

What a relief to know that the state of Illinois is run so well that our legislators have the time to deal with important issues like gay marriage.
Now that they have finished with this issue, which has crippled the state and desperately needed to be solved, perhaps they can move on with the more mundane items. I mean it's not like the state is beyond broke or ranks as the worst run state in the U.S. Good thing that our governors and state reps are all fine upstanding members of society and not criminals that use their positions for their own personal gain.

Hey Tobias,
While this issue may not have taken ALL their time, it is taking a lot of their time.
I would like to see our representatives dealing with issues that affect the majority of the people in Illinois FIRST. With the state being broke and pensions not funded and businesses leaving and all the other issues that affect ALL of the people in this state (including any gays that want to marry), is it too much to ask for our representatives to take care of these issues before they worry about something that will make a difference to only about 3.5% of the people of this state?
Look at it this way, if you were in a boat that was sinking, would you fix the leaks and bail out the water, or would you clean and polish the woodwork and chrome?
You could clean and polish the woodwork and chrome, and it would make the boat look great, right up til the point where it sank. That is the problem we now face, we are sinking as a state and all our reps want to do is make us look good as we go down.

Another nail in the coffin of our Christian culture, a culture marked for death by the evil ones based in New York and Tel Aviv. You know, the same ones who own the media and control the politicians who keep pushing this crap down our collective throats. Perversion is the order of the day. Why do ya suppose the accurate reference or name to this kind of perversion is never used? The accurate title would be Sodomites. Get used to it, what most people view as normal is being turned upside down right before your eyes

Let us straight people know who voted for this act against nature so we can vote them out.
7:46 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Frank- Not natural? Well, lets start with really what is not natural. Not natural is believing in imaginary, invisible being in the sky that your ghost will party with until the end of time! That is not natural. You have to understand that this is not something that just came out of the 1960s. These people (gays) have been around since the beginnning of time.
Its important to note that if you read some books about anthropology, you will see that homosexuality was found on ever continent and documented by the europeans prior to colonization. Its important because if it was a learned behavior this would not be seen. This is also very common in nature as its observed in thousands of animals.
This has to do with your religious beliefs I bet. The problem with that is, that this not a theocracy. Yourself and some like you have had it very good lately. The seperation between church and state has been erased in many ways and now that the pendulum is going the other way (as it is suppose to be), you are throwing a fit because you can not shove your beliefs on everyone else.

Thank you, phxdr!!!
"Frank- Not natural? Well, lets start with really what is not natural. Not natural is believing in imaginary, invisible being in the sky that your ghost will party with until the end of time! That is not natural."
This is the BEST response ever. I don't know how people can go on and on about religion all while bashing and hating on people who are not like them (white and hetero). I'm pretty sure any "god" would not be ok with all of the hating going on.
I don't understand how this decision affects anyone other than the gay people who have finally been granted the opportunity to marry the person they love.
The hatred on this site is really disgusting. I'm not sure how some of you can sleep at night, let alone look at yourselves in the mirror everyday.
5:18 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
My, My, Frank! Whatever happened to your religion's tolerant attitude: Live and let live; do unto others...; he/she who casts the first stone; etc., etc. I'd strongly suggest you take a hard look in a mirror at the intolerant bigot (or perhaps just a frustrated closeted gay?) who stares back at you before you assume you are in a position to make decisions that aren't your to make!

Whole lotta hatin' on Valentine's Day going on here...some good points about our inefficient government, but gay people don't like high taxes either, I'm guessing. Their being treated as less than equal isn't on top of your list because being old and white and male and Christian has always meant you controlled everything.
Now that is being challenged and not surprisingly that freaks you out.
Just think, though, if this really does sail right through, they cannot use it as an excuse to not fixing the economic crisis (or crises) that continue to wrack this state.
Instead of worrying about voting out those who voted for equal rights for all, why don't we worry about voting out those who are obviously clueless about how to balance a budget or keep a political promise.
Conceal and carry isn't the most pressing issue either, but the debate held everything up way longer than this issue, and it wasn't even resolved! Let this go and we can complain that the first governor in three tries to not be a (convicted) criminal is also somehow the least effective of the three. How about Mike Madigan is really the power broker in the state and needs to go but will never not get re-elected? How about the utter lack of a viable Republican candidate for almost ANY office?
I hear the crickets chirping, but nothing else...

Dave W, you're right, and so is tired of the bs. Regardless of how I feel about gay marriage (against), the're are so many greater issues in this state than that. Illinois is broke and embarressed because of our wonderful politicians.They're stepping on the necks of the working stiffs. Are they making issues of these things to divert our attention?
7:40 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Bob what is it that you are against? No one is asking you to marry someone of the same sex. Gays did not make the mess that IL is in, unions and elected leaders did. I know several gay people just as I know several Christians. I am agnostic but could never imagine treating someone different (Christians) because of their CHOICE to be Christian.
I assure you these people being gay is far less of a choice of people being a certain faith.

The problem with the teachings of tolerance now-a-days is that the tolerance isn't accepted on both sides of the avenue of discussion.
In teaching all that they must be tolerant and accepting of every kind and every other lifestyle in many ways teaches one that they may no longer think for themselves and may not express their own beliefs and values. They must agree with and accept everything in order to not offend someone. They're also taught that if they hold a differing view than what is currently popular and mainstream, they are immediately labeled as intolerant or a bigot.
If you feel that homosexuality is immoral and wrong, then you have the right to speak your voice about it, vote how you want to vote on legislation against it, and you should have the right to organize and protest against it. You also should, under free speech in this country, not be labeled and called names; you should be respected for your courage to speak out on something you believe in.
If you feel that homosexuality is a natural thing and a way of life, then you have the right to speak your voice about it, vote how you want to vote on legislation for it, and you should have the right to organize and protest for it.

That, folks, would be true tolerance and acceptance.
5:47 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
You are so wrong on many fronts with the simplistic explanation for blatant discrimination based solely on your own likes/dislikes. The key fault in your theory, Brad Drake, is that rights are involved... and the DENIAL of basic rights is an issue that transcends simply condoning tolerance as a philosophy. By denying gays the legal right to marry, gays are being denied basic protections afforded by our legal system to married people. That includes health insurance, estate laws that do not recognize domestic partnerships as valid contracts, etc., etc. There is far more involved than simply saying you do/don't agree with it. Marriage is a financial institution as much as a legal one. No one is telling people that they must accept gay marriage in the church just that discrimination must not exist based on gender. Don't forget, not that long ago, it was ILLEGAL for inter-racial marriage, and the exact same "arguments" were made against inter-racial marriage.
11:39 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
phxdr, Tobias Cichon, and others, perhaps you could answer some questions.
If this becomes the law, what logic would you use to enforce that people should not have the right to marry their children, parents, cousins, even pets if they love them and want to spend the rest of their lives with them, have visitation, inheritance, decision rights, and hospital rights?
Why shouldn't a person be able to marry several people, if they all love each other, or want the rights named above?
As for natural, I'm sure there are plenty of instances in nature of (what we would term) murder, rape, theft, bullying, bigotry, incest, polygamy, and I'm sure quite a few other undesirable behaviors. Would you similarly argue that since it's found, and abounds, in nature we should, at the very least, tolerate and not legislate against such behavior?
The only reason that government should be involved in marriage is to ensure that the children that are likely going to be produced as a result of that union are taken care of and not made a burden on society. A divorce should be a onerous thing to attain, if children are involved, and unless the child is immediately adopted, both parents should be caused to live in close proximity in order to continue caring for the child, and at least be civil to their former spouse. If homosexual couples wish to adopt children, they should have to endure the same onerous rules if they decide to divorce/separate.
12:09 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
I hope there is no reply to your comment by intelligent people because if you cannot come up with an answer as to why two consenting adults should be free to enter into a marriage, you're the problem.
4:39 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
Driveby- The several people marriage argument is a straw man argument. The human species is by definition (mostly) a species that does not enjoy being alone. This is probably why we have the number of people running around with raging electrical fires in their heads, who believe in something that is not probably there...god! They hate to be alone.
We have to review the facts and what is being discussed. We are talking HUMANS! Pets are not human. We are talking not being alone and equal treatment by the government. I want to pull a quote used in the interracial marriage. I want you to understand that I am aware that even a black man and white woman can produce children. However according to the reasoning of churches and some judges back in time, it was unnatural.
"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix." Judge Leon M. Bazile
So what you are saying is that sex is just for procreation? It NEVER for the fun of it? Thats interesting. Going by that logic you should never eat candy...the mouth is for nutrition, which candy provides little of. I think people by in large want less government involved in their lives and not more.
Tired of the B.S.
4:54 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
The only reason that you call Driveby's argument a "straw man" argument is because you don't like where it is going.
The issue now is gay marriage. This is an issue that some call a civil rights issue. Some say it is a human rights issue. I really don't care if gays want to get married or not, but to dismiss the fact that some who see gays getting the right to be married and then turning it into a fight for their rights to marry several people or to marry their siblings or parents is to ignore human nature.
People will point to the new laws that allow gay marriage and say "if they can do it, why can't I".
5:21 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
Tired of the B.S.- No. It is a straw man argument. Read the quote that I posted and read sometime about the thoughts of many in the church and government community about blacks and whites marrying. The fact is it was seen as wrong because "god" created many different races for a reason and did not intend for them to mix like that.
The only way you can even try to win this argument is to divert attention to a different issue(s) with the slippery slope.
If X is true, then Y must also be true (where Y is the extreme of X).
So if we allow gambling at casinos, we can expect everyone in the free world to be addicted to gambling and slot machines to be everywhere...even in schools!
If we raise the speed limit on that street from 20 to 25 we can expect it to be raised to 150 in the next ten years killing everything crossing the street.
Just as when someone talks about building a casino the logical answer is not "everyone will be addicted to gambling and slot machines will be in schools" or raising the speed limit will result in 150 mph streets, the logical answer on gay marriage is not to start throwing animals, family, dolls etc.
9:38 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
phxdr it is not a straw man argument; it may be a slippery slope argument. But the fundamental argument in favor of gay marriage is that by not allowing people who love each other and want to marry to do so, especially when certain legal rights are tied to marriage: inheritance, next of kin status, taxes, etc, then the state is treating a minority unequally. But if the minority of consenting adults who want to practice polyamory (as many cultures have in history, and, unlike gay unions, they have been considered "marriages" for millienia) or incest, the exact same argument supports marriage for them. They may be further out there on the public acceptance scale, but the most common arguments for gay marriage apply just as well. (You might need to account for restrictions on child-rearing for too-close relatives, but they can always adopt or use surrogates -- as gay couples must anyway. If you want to draw the line at gay marriage, then state why....

The closings of Schools by the Chgo and Joliet Bishops the looting of Cemetery trust funds to care for the graves of all and future LA CATHOLICS to pay for the crimes of predator priests along with the looting of the Vatican bank by the wall street banksters is all part of the diversion ordered by the bankster lobbyists for Helliburton and the usual suspects including SAIC made up of FORMER CIA- mossad AGENTS.
Gay Marriage is a buzz word that makes wingnuts become incoherent, there is no limit to the hypocrisy of the charlatan Christians. The conservative solution to the problem is always loot or buy their silence like Dolan did at $ 20,000 per priest!
The good living priests-bishops and destitute nuns would have been better off had women and or gay been included in the clergy,The church policy to the 15th century had married priests, the Scots Bishops families became too wealthy for the Pope to stomach. Former Red hat Cody led a double life of a Cardinal and family man, Jesus and or Yeshua was married to Mary Magdalene who cares?
It is all a threat to nothing but the wealth and plunder of the Treasury's by Wall street and the Rothschild VATICAN bank,who also murdered a one month old Pope their insiders the usual suspects.
The Illinois pol's who passed the GAY law once passed funding for the upgrade of Locks and Infrastructure on the Miss, but it ended financing a wall in Gaza.We never heard about that or had a Patch conversation on it!
4:17 pm on Friday, February 15, 2013
I forgot another argument made all the time. "Protecting marriage". I got a question for all you people involved in religion about the protection argument. Where were you when people like my brother are getting married 5 times and he is 40 years old? Where were you when many inmates on death row, who have KILLED people are allowed to get married?
So lets review. We allow marriage to be treated a car you can just get in and out of, we allow the very worst of our society to get married (serial killers) and yet marriage needs protection? It sounds to me like some, need to mind their own business. When this issue goes in full, before the supreme court on the constitutionality of the voter amendments passed in many states, one of the things the defense will have to show is that these laws were not passed to discriminate against a minority.
This one should be not a problem. Showing that the laws went into effect in these states right at the time, gays were pushing for equal rights should prove this without a problem. BTW It is not "activist judges". It's the way the system was set up...look under tyranny of the majority and the founding fathers. Point is gay marriage is probably going to expand very fast.
I still however fail to understand how some of you are concerned about this. Let these people live their lives and you do the same. Mind your own business. When they are in your church asking for your blessings then I will come to your defense.

It seems RUBIO'S dismal performance along with RAND PAUL has CONVINCED KARL ROVE and the Cayman islands delegation they have no chance to take the Latin vote including the Cuban Boat people of South Florida, look for many more GOP IN CONGRESS TO COME OUT SOON and even have a marriage of two men or two women in the Speakers Office.

Specious, poorly conceived comment (not reasoned enough to consider it a valid "argument.") One person can enter into a legally binding marriage contract with one other person at one time. Both are of of legal age, are not biologically related and are entering this agreement voluntarily. The law must be gender-blinder, just as it is race and religion-blind. Period. End of discussion.

phxdr, Just because you declare something a straw man argument, and presumably therefore irrelevant doesn't make it so.
If X is true, then Y must also be true (where Y is the extreme of X).
I've already stated what governments role in marriage should be.
The arguments in favor of homosexual marriage I've seen/heard are mostly based on fairness, love, finances, feelings, and the like. You only addressed the multiple spouse portion of my questions, ignoring the rest. A straw man argument would presume that my argument was an absurd or exaggerated version of the main position. However you've offered no reason why it's reasonable for a man to marry a man, but unreasonable for a man to marry several women, or unreasonable for a 55yo person to marry their 35yo child in order to either pass on or gain retirement, health, tax or other benefits, or even simply Love.
You also didn't address my reference to your defense of homosexuality because it's found in other species.
"We have to review the facts..." While YOU may be talking about humans, what I've heard mostly discussed and used to defend this position is fairness, and feelings. Those can apply to a human relationship with an animal just as it can a human to another human, regardless of age, sex or relationship. I'm sure there are plenty of folks that would far prefer the company of their favorite animal to any human, same sex or not.
I didn't say that sex was only for procreation, that's YOUR strawman.

The very thought of getting to the chase is appalling to the ? Soon my friends we may actually talk about the BUSHEVIK DEPRESSION lasting effects of the State of Illinois and how it is all connected to the dismal economy of the entire Western world suffering from austerity with the notable exception of the GERMANS,
This is the same scam by Banksters the 1% who rub our noses in their shite every time one of these Can't we be civilized and accept their lies, disinfo and misinfo diversions but are insane for expressing the truth and actual policies that these evil looters have done and want us to continue to do again with our new resources.
They throw honest working people out on the street and get a Mulligan on their looting, too big to Loot has gone far enough and now are going to quietly get rid of the $100 a ounce on Marijuana that was put on 86 years ago, they believed KARL ROVE and toe sucker Dick Morris who said Twit was going to win in a landslide but now have little hope for a miracle.The 1 % and the ag biz they are financing are all positioned to eliminate the old DUPONT HEARST conspiracy within the Roosevelt Admin who were sold on nylon as well as wood and polyester as opposed to the thousands of uses for HEMP, as for Gay and log cabin GOP part of the plan!

As congress is abandoning it's role as the peoples house now even the remaining Bi and Gay NEO CON'S entrenched in the Pentagon Bureaucracy are feeling the pressure of the Paul Ryan sequestration which is gobbly gook for austerity masturbation, I recently learned part of the final solution which included the role the Sen Maj Leader Reid played in the plan which could not have succeeded without him.
The decision to gradually slip into the new role of coming out is led by traditional conservative log cabin GOP bi's. The new order of debauched TPARTY are a coalition of charlatan Christians and old time Mormon Polygamists and the openly gay big spenders who contributed heavily to the Demo's in 08 and 12,.Ryan and Gov Walker of Wis are hosting the secret new conclave next week in a secret bathhouse somewhere in the state while Sheldon Adelson and Harry Reid will do the same at the former Mustang ranch or some other whore house in Nev,
Harry will do what he does best and be a switch hitter in the new order. Harry will become not only the spokesperson for the Debauchery party but will assume the Bishop of the Polygamist Mormons of Nev-Ut-Ida and AZ.
Back in Wis Cardinal Dolan will will give the benediction and introduce the thousands of predator priests he paid off in his career as potential members of the new Congressional caucus and nation wide movement, it seems we are going to have at least 2 exciting years while the media whiners were predicting deadlock and boredom
12:25 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2013
@ They say in the new debauched reorganization that Glenn Beck is going all in and refuses to give up his Brigham Young Chalk board given to him by the Wall Street hucksters and gangsters which was made in the first Kipputz after the Zionist state was founded on 9-11 in 1947, Beck who views himself as a profit will only surrender his board and Crayons if Cardinal Dolan nominates him as the next Pope rather than the next two favorites from Africa,they said he said," didn't we learn from that other Kenyan"? The corporate Church is still reeling not with Ben's resignation but on his watch the incredible generosity of Dolan who has wasted a Trillion dollars the biggest theft since the Calvi affair when the looting of the Vatican and Banco Amrosiano by their Mafia and P 2 masonic lodge shareholders in1982.
Dolan was and is paying off predator priests $20,000 a head, Beck they say will put an end to that and demand the faithful increase Peters Pence to a % higher than the anti Christ or Church of England gets from the LGBT faithful of London which has gay everything and in the same mess the nation not the Palace, which brings up another question on why are these criminals from Wall street not going to jail,for starters they are not breaking the law and shows how really bad it could get if the TPARTY succeeds in luring the hi spending GAYS away from the Party that MAY regulate the Banksters by LAWS and regulations.

I'm really excited to announce that we are providing shoppers with a new level of transparency about how farm animals are raised by now offering beef, pork and chicken certified under the 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating system. The rating system is the signature program of Global Animal Partnership, a nonprofit organization that facilitates and encourages continuous improvement in animal agriculture. Independent, third-party certifiers audit farms and rate animal welfare practices and conditions using a tiered system that ranges from Step 1 (no crates, cages or crowding) to Step 5+ (animals spend their entire lives on one farm). We are proud to adopt this new rating system that helps shoppers make even more informed buying decisions while offering them peace of mind that the animals from our producers are raised with care.
More than 1,200 farms and ranches that supply our stores have received Step certification through independent, third-party certifiers. Color-coded signs and stickers throughout our meat departments identify these Step ratings. In addition to Step ratings, all meat sold at our stores must meet our strict quality standards, which require that animals be raised on a vegetarian diet without being administered antibiotics or added growth hormones*. It's really important to note that getting to Step 1 is a huge accomplishment in the industry! Step 1 requires more from our farmers and ranchers than we have ever asked before.
The Global Animal Partnership has developed Step ratings for pigs, chickens and cattle. Ratings for other species (turkeys, lamb, and others) are in development, so stay tuned. Look for this rating system the next time you stop by our meat department for beef, pork or chicken. It's your way of knowing how the animals were raised for the meat you are buying.
Step 1: No crates, no cages, no crowding Like people, animals need a little "personal space" to be comfortable.
Step 2: Enriched environment It's the simple things that keep animals active and engaged — like a bale of straw for chickens to hide behind and climb on, a bowling ball for pigs to manipulate and shove around, or a few sturdy objects for cattle to rub against when they need a good scratch.
Step 3: Enhanced outdoor access Pigs and chickens still live in buildings but they all — yes, each and every one of them — have access to outdoor areas where they can catch a few rays.
Step 4: Pasture centered Chickens need to forage, pigs need to wallow and cattle need to roam. They can do all of these things when they live outdoors and have shelter — and of course, a view!
Step 5: Animal centered; all physical alterations prohibited Animals get to live their lives with all the parts they were born with, and nothing else! No clipping, no snipping.
Step 5+: Animal centered; entire life on same farm Animals are born and live their entire lives on one farm. Pigs and cattle are slaughtered on the farm, and chickens are transported only short distances (because you can't herd chickens!).
See our Frequently Asked Questions about the 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating™. For more detailed information on each Step, and species-specific welfare information, visit the Global Animal Partnership website.
What do you think? Are you going to give Step-rated meat a try the next time you visit your local store? At Whole Foods Market, the more you know about our meat, the better.
Welcome to Whole Story, the official blog of Whole Foods Market. Don't know us? In a nutshell, we are the world's leading natural and organic grocer and we're passionate about healthy food and a healthy planet. Learn more about us.
We're lucky to have a whole bunch of smart, passionate people doing incredible things in areas like organics, supporting local growers, green practices, fair trade, micro-lending and all kinds of food related stuff. We'll use this blog to share some of the cool things going on around here.
Of course what makes this blog really exciting is YOU — so join the conversation!

On the way back from the Eurofest show at Birdwood, my friend Felix and I found ourselves travelling some of the best roads in South Australia in a rather esteemed convoy. Whilst the Volkswagen Scirocco R that we were driving would ordinarily be pretty cool, it was easily overshadowed by the three cars ahead of us; three high revving driving machines bearing the famous tricolour 'Motorsport' emblem.
For the record, I use the term 'found ourselves' very loosely – it was through subtle eavesdropping and possibly a little skullduggery that we learnt of Alvin Chua's plans after the show, and thankfully due to his kind-natured sense of fun and generosity, and possibly simply not wanting to disappoint two guys with 'kids-in-the-candy-store' looks on their faces, that he graciously suggested we tag along. Feeling very much like the poor cousins, but not caring one bit, we pulled away from the National Motor Museum behind a lineup consisting of E30 M3, ultra rare E46 M3 CSL and new 1M. Three M cars, three different generations, and three different philosophies. But the one goal.
We might as well begin with the oldest car in our trio, a car which has gone down in history as one of the great drivers cars of all time, the E30 M3. The first of the 3 series to wear the M badge, the E30 M3 was a homologation model built from 1986 to enable BMW to go touring car racing against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz 190E.
Powered by the famous S14 2.3 litre inline 4 initially producing around 200hp, the E30 M3 is surprisingly quick given its age and power – a kerb weight of 1200kg in full road trim and an almost perfect 48/52 weight distribution means there is very little out there that can match an E30 M3 for sheer driving nirvana.

Springdale School Cancels Classes Due to Illness
By: KNWA News
Updated: January 18, 2013
Superintendent Dr. Jim Rollins released the following statement Thursday evening:
"Throughout the day a significant number of students at Hellstern Middle School got sick. The nature of the illness appears to be a stomach virus. In consulting with our school nurse and Washington County and state health officials, we believe it is best to close Hellstern Middle School Friday in order to allow students to recuperate and have a thorough cleansing of the school. Monday is Martin Luther King Day and there are no classes, so school will resume at Hellstern Tuesday."

The surprise? Your omni friends will never know this isn't real sausage!
What you need:
Mix together the sausage, soy milk, margarine, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Heat for 3 minutes in the microwave, then add a dash of flour while stirring. Heat for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat this flour-adding process until the mixture is thick. Place toast on plates and top with sausage mixture.

Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Somewhat 'mixed' reviews.
By maggie
from newmarket, ontario
Overall, I love 'twin sets' and the colours/printis deep & rich. But the 'feel' is a bit stiff and not as soft as I'd hoped. And because I ordered the XL rather than the usual L which I find is my size with Joan's fashions (I followed the size chart for the tank), it's SLIGHTLY looser than I want. I'm thinking after I wash it and use a fabric softener,it will be perfect and I'll have a lot of wear out of this set.

Sizing not true items too big
By CHICK
from ORANGEVILLE
I usually take medium so I read the reviews and ordered one size down a small....really should go down 2 sizes to XS...sleeves were too long and item was really baggy...am returning both sets to get smaller sizes...also it grows in size over the day and is baggier at night than in the morning. Bought many other Joan items and the small was tight...beautiful but why no consistency so all the extra shipping charges????
Beautiful Set!
By B.A.
from ALLISTON
I purchased the brown. The colours are striking and the pattern is very well done. Looks even better on...has a high-end designer look to it. The pieces are well made and the material feels good on the skin. Like many of Joan's pieces, I found this to be a generous fit so, if undecided, suggest sizing down. This is a quality piece and, in my opinion, well worth the original price. If you're lucky enough to get it on sale, so much the better.
Leopard Print Cardigan & Tank Set by JR
By Jane
from Ottawa
Such a smart set and versatile! I can wear the cami separately and the cardigan. The material is great as it is not too light and is so smooth. I receive many compliments when I wear the set. A great value!
I really like this set.
By [*]red
from Edmonton, Alberta
I really like this set. It is so soft and comfortable. You can really dress it up or down. I get complements everytime I wear it.

Soft, beautiful design & fabric.
By Angela
from Kirkland Lake, Ontario
Generous size, beautiful design and fabric. I have the brown.

I am in love with this set.
By KikiDEE
from Southwestern Ontario
It feels wonderful on. Exceptional quality. Yes it is a bit generous but being 100% cotton I was leery it might shrink so that isn't really a concern. I look forward to wearing this many times during the coming holiday season. A little bit pricey but I think I will get my money's worth out of it.

So glad it's cotton!
By The Boss
from Niagara
One thing I hate about winter is the scratchiness of winter wool sweaters! I can't tolerate them. Thankfully, this one is a soft but stable cotton which makes it very comfortable and almost seasonless.I disagree with the other reviewer about size. Twin sets are nasty looking if they're tight. They should be soft, loose fitting and just body skimming. This one is just that. I bought the brown and I think it's perfect.

Nice But Sizing Is Inaccurate..
By Nancy
from Montreal
I had to return my order because the size seems to be generous - for instance if you usually take an XL, you can probably go down a size to L. Otherwise, it is way too loose - unless you like the cardigan more 'drapey'. The material is very soft and comfortable. I recommend this item as long as you keep the sizing in mind!

The promise of a new day
Tolec: Earthquakes, volcanoes, land masses shifting, land going under water rest of this year.
All life will not end on 12/21/2012. It will be a moment will be moving through the galactic equatorial plane. Lots of energies there. Significant larger wave of higher frequency of energy, that will pass through Earth. That's the day when time, the way we measure it, will be the beginning of the end of time. Don't know what will happen after that.
2013 supposed to be period of continued earth changes, including crustal displacement, rotating 90 degrees, counterclockwise. Today we have east-west reference, when shifted will have north-south references. West coast will become south coast. Also, there will be a pole shift...a magnetic poleshift. The mag freq of north pole will migrate to bottom of the globe. The mag freq of south pole, will migrate to top of globe. I've been assured consistently this mag pole shift will not cause any major disruption of human life. May be electrical problems over 2-3 hours. They will help with any electrical adjustments.
Kimmel: My u/s when mag pole shift takes place, it will be around 12/21/2012. Poleshift, etc. being moderated so we don't totally upset what's going on.
Tolec: We on Earth have some comfort that we are getting some celestial help. They are friends, b/c seeded many years ago by ET races, they are in fact our relations. ... Help from biospheres, etc. that are all helping to slow and mitigate they physical changes on this planet.
Kimmel: One more point... there will be a shift of the axis of the Earth. Right now we have 23* slant, what gives us the seasons. That pole will now be shifted to vertical and eliminate the seasons, and result in moderate temperature.
Tolec: You've heard what I've heard. The 23.5* tilt will be corrected. This planet will (a) seasons will go away and (b) we'll have a Mediterranean climate world wide.
Kimmel: The axis shift is already under way. The beginnings... not major yet ... will be moderated.
Tolec: Early Jan 2014, this planet will start vibrating as a higher dimensional world. What you hear?
Kimmel: I started hearing from onset, during this period of time, all human constructs... all will be disappearing during this period of time. That's to make room for what comes next. Next, not well defined, b/c we humans haven't defined it yet. Our friends are here to help us, but will not tell us exactly how to do it.
Tolec: Are you referencing the new structures we're going to form "government structures" we're going to be experiencing changes to these social structures.
Kimmel: Yes. I think it will take longer to restructure, beyond 2014.
Tolec: I've heard the same thing as well. In terms of outcome, they've told me and showed me visually we will be more community and town based. Communities and groups of people that will be collaborating, sharing resources, barter and trade, but they've told me looking at period of "transition of how we calculate time today," looking at 10-12 years of transition. That's a look at what the future will look like.
Kimmel: My u/s the people remaining on this planet will not have money, and debt. A wonderful path we're headed on. It takes time to implement this
Tolec: I agree. This is our planet. We as a people need to decide together what it's going to look like. Let's talk about formal caretakers and why they're going to be important...
Kimmel: Not e/o going to remain on this planet. Not going to happen. There are people digging their heels in, saying I don't want to change. I like it the way it is. I'm not moving. As the planet changes, as the planet moves to her own higher frequency. Life will become untenable and will leave. Lightworkers working on ascending. Uncomfortable here. Working on ascending. Some will ascend physically. And others will ascend in another way. Third grouping is "caretakers." These are the ones ... shallow footprint on the planet. Will change things so be cooperative, fully telepathic, b/c they are bringing the higher vibrations into their bodies. I was asked if I wanted to stick around another 100 years. I signed up to be a caretaker. That's the way a number of planets exist in Andromeda. It's a wonderful existence.
Tolec: From a vibrational perspective, what I've come to learn... higher dimensional life vibrates in a higher frequency. What we would call 4D on up, life in this form is of fine matter essence. It has less density, higher frequency, less weight, far greater light. So people can grasp what Mark's saying, he's talking about higher dimensional people that will be bringing their energies and help and caretaking and mentoring down to this planet, even as this planet evolves and b/c higher dimensional world. We're going to be going from heavy, dense physical to a lighter, higher density physical matter. It will be finer essence matter, completely different from what we have today. Ppl of higher freq will be assisting us bringing higher densities, greater peace and cooperation.
Kimmel: The caretakers are the Earth humans who will remain. Will get tremendous help from ships and biospheres, to date, at least 1,100 of these just waiting to offer assistance. There are millions of ppl in orbit ready to come and help, as soon as we take the first steps to become caretakers, not dominators. Once we get out of the muck, all frequencies can get along.
Tolec: There are nuances of these frequencies. Less separation... spirit-form frequencies. Not organic matter. One way it's been explained to me. What you're saying, there's more nuance or blending from one tier to another.
Kimmel: It's like on a spectrum. No real separation. Able to pick their vibration.
Tolec: One of the key reasons while all of the people that are collective citizens of the andromeda council excited about the transformation, they've told me that this is a singular moment in human history, not only this planet, but a number of other planets, are going to uplift, shift upward, ascend, and people don't have to die. First time of human history, millions and millions will simply shift vibrational frequency, as the planet shifts upward. Monumental event to upward lift without having to die.
Kimmel: What they're saying takes one step further. May be most important event since original creation. Finding a way to deal with this 3D. We are transforming 3D, no longer has to be place of fear. Impacts thousands of other planets.
Tolec: One of the prime reasons that I'm motivated to share what I know with people, we can either do it the easy way or the hard way. The easy way, ppl listen, ask questions, their curious, they may want to know what they can do to make the transformation easier. That's the easy way to help this transition to progress forward. The not-easy-way is to fight the transition. These are only my personal opinions. When we fight our own personal evolution, you know what happens. Imagine fighting change on planetary scale.
Kimmel: S/o asked me if I'm a spirit warrior. It's an idea being a warrior, being out there fighting something. We are not going to have a war on drugs, or war on ascending. This is a whole new dynamic. We are headed into a whole new way of behaving and looking and seeing and trusting. It's so encompassing, that's why e/o upstairs are so excited. Tell us who they are.
Tolec: I will touch on all of the senior members of the Andromeda Council. Anyone can go to andromedacouncil.com. It's page two.... Talking about Arcturus. Known as the gatekeepers, the peacekeepers. Amazing people. Reason they are peacekeepers, the level they exist at, 6D through 9D, depending on which world we're talking about. It will help ppl recognize, the higher you go in dimensions, the closer you are to God, source, creator. These people vibrate at a very high frequency. Very warm, kind, loving. They do their best to download from Arcturus down to many other dimensions, 5th, 4th. Because this frequency is so high. Their frequencies from 8th, 9th dimensions are critical part to transform Earth. They play a key role. That is why they are first senior member of AC. The people of the Galactic Federation help keep things organized on a day-to-day basis... help implement collaboration, cooperation, trade, ... sharing resources, sharing universal education systems. GF based in Tau Ceti star system. How diff from AC? AC is intergalactic UN... votes on protocols and helps e/o interact and cooperate. ... B/c we are currently a physical form (3D), there are three other 3D planets part of AC and GF, these particular three are all in Alpha Centauri. ... Over 100 worlds that are 3D. ... 12 AC biospheres around Earth. The size of a biosphere is about the size of Pluto. 11 others sized Mars, Venus, two size of Jupiter to be used as transport ships who want to continue 3D life on another world. Scheduled to leave Earth space late summer of 2013. There are four from Jupiter that are scientific space stations, one north, one south, one far left, one far right... monitoring all of the changes in this part of space to our sun and planet. All of these people are family... they are all here watching and helping with this process. ... Some will come to speak with small peoples/groups to help them understand and what's coming.
Kimmel: ... I consider Arcturians as celestials. A spectrum? Physical on one end to spirits on the other. It's all part of a beautifully orchestrated existence. ... We are important enough on this planet, they are coming here to help.
Tolec: Amazing perspective. ... There are all sorts of people from magnitude of worlds, dimensions, vibrations, that all care enough about us and our future, they are stepping up to the plate. The ultimate giving of love, to sacrifice their personal time to set aside a block of their valuable, to help ppl of Earth with transformation. We can help mitigate some of the difficulties of their transitions. I think one of the most personal expressions of love.... We have more diversity on this planet... a microcosm of the entire universe.
Kimmel: That's why it's so worthwhile saving this wonderful planet called Earth. ... We have a conference coming up. cosmicparadigm.com for information. We are taking the POV that we have things to share. They are coming from the creator, the celestials, off world... all of this will be represented at Transformation 2012 is to go and train ppl to raise their vibrations so they can more easily walk through this time of change.
Tolec: This subject of this conference is important for ppl who are making a commitment, those that want conscious training, can you point out the diff between a typical ET/UFO conference as compared to this 3-day intensive.
Kimmel: We are not going to sit around talking about the bad guys, the latest sighting over south Florida. Not going to talk about how to heal from changes. We are going to talk about energies, how to use energies to accomplish anything. We are going to show you what to do. A 3-day workshop. Will not be foo-foo, ppl who will make you feel good, then it disappears after leaving.
Tolec: So this is a 3-day intensive workshop. Training.
Kimmel: By star brothers and sisters. Will be in August.
Tolec: This is not a typical UFO conference. This is about training.
Kimmel: Doubt we will mention UFO's at all.
Tolec: Who are we really? Who, as humans, are we really? I'll start by sharing a small tidbit. A topic ppl don't think of from this perspective. We are at minimum the complete spark of God, etc. Each of us are a part of that creational light force. We are great souls tucked inside of human body, for sake of life experiences, for growth, for learning. Mark, comments?
Kimmel: Creator gods....
Tolec: Intelligent design...
Kimmel: Yes. Great souls, been around for millions, maybe billions of years. One of these great souls, the oversoul, they are the ones who are keeping track of the individual experiences. The visual I get, the great soul I'm part of, many times larger than Earth, if you can put a visual on it. So, the great souls, do what is called of individuating souls. I received an individuated soul, one small piece of that gigantic soul, individuates other souls, to have experiences on Earth, Andromeda, all over.
Tolec: Almost like concept of super, mega-soul group.
Kimmel: Yes. I've had a number of lives on other planets. These great souls are powerful enough, and large enough ... once you find out you are part of this scheme, it makes your life much different. I tell ppl to go and figure out who you really are. Then we can talk about raising your vibration. You already have it. Need to get in touch with it. Makes the job so much easier.
Tolec: I've spoken recently, spent a lot of time talking about who you really are... what gifts do you bring to the world, that you do really, really well. But before you share with others, important to know who we really are. Each of us has to get to know the depth of ourselves, before helping others on a broader scale. I recommend this topic, get to know yourself is one of the most important things in life.
Kimmel: Then become who you are... Tolec, you're living it. You are who you really are.
Tolec: This is good time to speak this thought. Yes, I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing at this moment of my life. I'm bringing forth my unique gifts. I'm happy who I am and contributing what I contribute. Does that mean my life has gotten easy? No. It's a challenging path to choose and live. It's not easy. That having been said, because challenges exist, do I shy away? No. Amazing gifts on the other side. It's not an easy life, but it's a blessing. I am living the life of who I choose to be. I'm living an "authentic life." Real for me? Yes. Challenging? Yes.
Kimmel: Change for a different life?
Tolec: No.
Kimmel: Want to mention Institute of Light. A joint venture. The AC call it abicor. They want to have it on this planet. They come to interact with people who want it. Ships will land. Travel universe. Very interactive. Not yet here. Will manifest when we achieve certain amount of transformation. A year or two away, what I'm thinking.
Tolec: Conference, August 16-17-18. We are half full, which is amazing. Held in Pagosa Springs, CO. For anyone interested in help with raising their vibration.
Tolec of the Andromedan Council and I recorded a conversation between just the two of us. You can listen to that conversation here: http://youtu.be/_CUkgot54D4
