Hi -- I'm "Ningmom," new here!
Hi, Everyone! I'm so glad I found this site! I have heard of Soulforce and its program Equality Ride, so I finally looked it up. I'm a forty-something woman who graduated in the '80s from a conservative Christian College but moved away from that kind of spiritual outlook. I'm married and we have two sons. I have a sister who is a lesbian and another sister who is bi. Or maybe she's lesbian now. Not sure. And my last sister is straight and is a religious fundamentalist (Southern Baptist) -- and she is driving me crazy. I want to counteract HER actions, so I joined PFLAG and am becoming an activist for LGBT rights.
Also, I work at a college and I am now beginning to understand how students in their 20s begin to understand their sexuality. Some have known along that they're gay or another gender than the one they appear to be; others are just realizing it. I'd like to learn more about how to support them, too. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you! "Ning" is a word for "peace" and that's why "Ningmom" is my name on here. But my real name is Mary Anne; I don't care who knows that! |
Welcome, ningmom. Check us out!
More and more, medical science is finding that gender identity and sexual orientation are determined before birth. I don't know any LGBT person who says that it is a choice.
One of my favorite feminists is named Mary Anne, but that's a whole 'nother story. We always appreciate straight allies, somehow they help us to be more believable with those who condemn gay people. It's as if they somehow know more about being gay than gay people do. Go figure. And PFLAG is another great asset to gay and straight people alike. . Come back and post, and tell us more. Peace and Love, Bruce Chris

I'm so happy you found the site, ningmom. There are many of us here who can help you if you need more understanding and knowledge about LGBT.
I'm am trangender and a cross dresser. BruceChris is right in stating that being LGBT is something that's in-born. I came out only three years ago but the feelings of being different were with me all my life. Now I am content and happy. Gennee

Hello and welcome! We love allies. I only wish my brother would be half as supportive of me as you are of your sisters. I can only hope some day he learns that it really is not a choice. It sounds like you have some pretty good gay genes in your family! If it was not for people like you, straight allies, we would not be as far and understood as we are now. Thanks for joining our fight.
Don't be afraid, it's only love! |
First: welcome! If your college doesn't already have one, you might consider looking into a safezone training program.
I half-accidentally volunteered myself to get one started at my new school, so I'm on a kick. I'm always a little bit fascinated as to how allies come to decide to be allies; I look forward to seeing you around the forums. |
This forum is a wonderful place to be.

Fellow Ally here
Hey MaryAnne,
I'm a student at an ultra conservative southern baptist school- Mississippi College. The Equality Riders are actually getting into town here this weekend, and I can't wait to meet them. Since I've become more vocal about my position as an ally on this campus, I've had a handful of closeted students come to me, and hearing their stories and they fear they have about being outed breaks my heart. I would love to talk with you sometime about your experience when you were in school. Views I have aren't exactly popular on this campus, especially not with the administration, and I'm sure you can identify with that. anywho, welcome to the forums! |
Hi Ningmom, glad you found us! Thanks for your support, you sound like a caring and compassionate person who really wants to learn. You've come to the right place, you'll find great conversation and friends. I'm happy that you are here!

Determined before birth
[QUOTE=BruceChris;61806]More and more, medical science is finding that gender identity and sexual orientation are determined before birth. I don't know any LGBT person who says that it is a choice.
Quoting BruceChris above...yes, and from what I have heard from straight college students over the past ten years, this is becoming normal, accepted fact to them, which is great! I rarely hear the word "lifestyle" or "choice" in discussions about sexuality anymore from people in the 18-22 age group, at least not with the frequency I heard those words ten years ago. Did anyone read, about a year ago, the article about left-hand finger length in gay people contrasted with straight people? Fascinating. If anyone wants more info, I can dig for it and send a link.

Being an ally in conservative Christian settings...
Hi again. Sorry if I end up quoting things wrong; I'm still trying to figure out the inner workings of forums (fora??) here. MCStudent said:
> I've had a handful of closeted students come to me, and hearing their >stories and they fear they have about being outed breaks my heart. I would >love to talk with you sometime about your experience when you were in >school. Views I have aren't exactly popular on this campus, especially not >with the administration, and I'm sure you can identify with that. Oh, I could write a BOOK on that! I went to a college affiliated (at the time) with the Free Methodist Church. Do not mistake them for United Methodists -- at least SOME UMs are open, but rarely will you find a FM who is accepting of people who are LGBT/otherwise. (Unless it's that "hate the sin, but love the sinner" crap...those of you who grew up in conservative churches will know THAT phrase well....) To be honest, when I was in college, I was really confused about all of this. I was not an ally, at least not in the way I am now. I'd characterize my 20-year-old self at the time as "fascinated." I didn't have the repulsion that my fellow students had toward LGBT people, so maybe I was seen as "safe" by some students who did come out to me, or very nearly so. I finally decided that homosexuality wasn't a sin, but it was just a manifestation of some innate inability to fit in, an outward expression of some "differentness" that had no name, and the people who had it chose homosexuality as the vehicle to express that differentness. Yes, you can throw tomatoes at me -- go ahead. That was a huge leap for me at the time, going from "It's a sin" (a theory I couldn't quite ever embrace) to "It's this other thing but at least it's not a sin." I am relating this honestly because I think it's important to understand that not all allies were always allies...and this is actually good news because it means that efforts like Equality Ride DO have an impact. If Equality Ride had come to MY campus in 1985...I would have been an ally about 20 years sooner than I was! Remember that in the '80s nobody talked about gay issues the way they are talked about now. The discussions were NOT THERE. At least not in my world. I look back now and am shocked at how naive I was, but then I can use that knowledge and be a kinder, gentler person with my own naively misinformed students today...because I understand where they're coming from. (Even though secretly I think they have no right to be so misinformed in this day and age.) Here's the other thing. (And I realize I should probably jump over to some other forum for this post...it's way more than just a "Hello, My Name Is..." thing.) My family never talked about my oldest sister's..."thing." Her "problem." They NEVER. TALKED. ABOUT. IT. Can you imagine?! She dropped out of graduate school in Texas and moved back home amidst this heavy shroud of secrecy. I knew something horrible had happened -- I was 12. It was only a year ago, at age 40, that I confessed to her that I had been afraid that she had killed someone in Texas! Oh, not an axe murder or anything, but maybe she had accidentally run over a pedestrian with her car. I was pretty sure it was accidental because she was sweet and kind and would never hurt anyone intentionally. But in my 12-year-old mind, because no one would explain to me what this horrible awful thing was, I had to explain it to myself. How awful. One of my favorite people who ever lived is Fred Rogers. Fred often said, "Whatever is mentionable, is manageable." People, when we do not TALK about things, people dream up all sorts of horrible things. When students at Oral Roberts University never see a gay person, they dream up a gay person -- and that gay person is going to look like a monster, a child predator, an evil person bent on destroying marriage as we know it...you know, all those lies that James Dobson and his ilk put out there. That is why Equality Ride and other forums for open dialog are so terribly important. The other day at work, I was waiting in line in our dining hall and chatting with a colleague. I can't remember how we got on the topic but I mentioned something about Janet Reno. I said, "Not that I have anything personally against her," and my colleague (a guy, presumably straight), interjected, "Yeah, I think she's a great guy!" and I was just like, silent for a second and gave a weak little laugh. And I regret it...I didn't like what he said, but I should have said, "Ummm, that was...not cool." You know? I've thought about it every day. I wasn't a very good ally. But I learn every day what to do and what not to do. Too much caffeine = chattiness. I'll rein it in here and take my responses off the air. Be well. m.a. |
Ning --
I for one am enjoying your posts. Betcha someone else is, too. Don't worry about reining anything in.

Me too!
Hi Ningmom, I love your posts. They are very readable. And I LOVE that you are here and an ally. We all have our own processes and time frames, but you are here, you are compassion and love. And you are interesting to boot!
I try to keep in mind 'it's their process too' in regards to some family who would prefer not to have anything to do with me. I haven't seen my father in over 8 months, because my stepmom can hardly stand to have me in her house. My wife is completely not welcome. I haven't seen my niece and nephew in probably going on 3 years now, because my wife and I are not welcome in my sister's home or around her children. I have an aunt who no longer talks to me (actually I refuse to talk to her because of the ugliness of her words to me), and I just recently ceased speaking with her uncle because of his condemning me to hell (for voting no on Prop 8). There are others. But I have more family and friends that support and love me no matter what. it doesn't make the hurt go away, but it certainly helps to keep it on a manageable level.

Mary Anne,
Your journey sounds very similar to mine, except I'm 30, so people were talking about GLBT issues when I was in high school and college. I grew up in a very conservative evangelical personal culture (family, church, and I live in Texas). I just never could wrap my mind around how being gay was a sin. Although I toed the party line during my staunchest bible-beating days, I just didn't "get" it. I wasn't very vocal about my stance, either. I felt really cruel to me, and I was very fascinated by this whole group of people that I didn't know much about but felt pressure to denounce. I *never* felt that I belonged with my so-called brothers and sisters in Christ - or anywhere on the planet for that matter - but mostly with the so-called brethren. And, shame has always been a very personal and almost innate battle for me. As I began to learn about GLBT people...and the commonalities of these ...there was no way I could heap that kind of shit onto them. It's just too damn painful. (I'm sure that I've erred and done this...I work really hard not to...I hope to those I have, I'll have the opportunities for ammends) Sometimes I wonder if it isn't terribly presumptuous of me to compare my own story to those of LGBT people. But, still, I hear the stories, and my heart aches, and it ins't just empathy.... Anyway, back to you, Mary Anne...nice to meet you ~Michelle |
Don't worry about quotes and stuff, every once in awhile I have to have one of the Moderators fix my messes! Or, I have to ask my teen to help, I don't really know wich is worst! Quote:

If you are looking for a cream cheese frosting, you have found a winner. It's pretty much the only one you'll need all Fall.
My cream cheese frosting is spiced with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom. Other good things to add: orange zest, cloves, vanilla beans (or extract), or sea salt.
This makes a fabulous addition to muffins, cookies, quick breads, cupcakes, layer cakes, cinnamon rolls, brownies or straight up on a spoon.
Another great thing about this recipe – you can add 7-10 oz of marshmallow fluff to it and use it as a whoopie pie filling! Seriously, the possibilities are endless.

Sunnies with a bit of cat eye
They are not really cat eye sunglasses but they are a little turned up on the edges so give you that up to date modern look with the heavier frame. Very comfortable as well and very well made. I missed out on the meteor Rayban but I am happy with these and have not stopped wearing them!

i think jazz should trade one or 2 of their bigs for a guard and also FREE ALEC BURKS and fire TyCo.
why is this forum so in love with that jimmer guy? i dont get it. i guess cuz he's mormon? interesting racialism dynamic here.
-Getting rid of Tinsley and/or Watson, and getting a good back up PG.
-Giving more time for our young talent on the floor.
-Never starting Big Al and Sap together again.
"Most nights (The Jazz) couldnt stop a grandpa with a walker, particularly if he gave a head fake."
A true floor leader, pass-first, PG.
........................................................................................................................ ...
(first update) Offseason to-do list:
(no order)
1. Let Mo, Foyeeee3, Al (s&t?), Watson, and Tinsley go.
2. Re-sign Carroll
3. Draft McCollum, Schroeder, and Giannis (leave the latter two in Europe for a year [maybe two years for Giannis]).
4. Sign Tony Allen
5. Try to keep Millsap. If that doesn't work, explore s&t options.
6. Remove Corbin. Hire Brad Stevens or SVG.
7. Sign Calderon to a one-year (2 max) deal, or see if the cash-strapped Lakers will let us absorb Nash's last year.
As I agree he's at the end of his career, and not part of the future. Every good team needs good vet leadership, and he's been nothing but a team guy and leader on this team, and now he's starting to produce, and play well. He did have the biggest clutch defensive play of the game. I wish we would've had Tinsley when Deron was here. The offense doesn't go down the drain when he comes in. I like Tinsley, just wish he wouldn't shoot when wide open.
Our biggest problem is we dont have an alpha male super star big time big game performer closer.

Coach of the first ladies hockey team of HGC (Wassenaar, Holland)
"I have found the Nacsport support team to be very helpful. They are available to help whenever I have an issue or questions in regard to the program and make time to fit into my schedule to come online and offer support. In my experience, the help has been prompt and efficient, taking little time and offering quick and easy solutions."
Sport2view/assistant coach Dutch National Korfball team
"For almost a year we have been working together with Nacsport's very innovative product to develop korfball for ourselves and also for the sport in general. The commitment of Nacsport to reach our ambitions is very inspiring.
Through the flexibility of this organisation, we are free to think out of the box and look for the most ideal solutions with video analysis software. If we have any questions, remarks or suggestions, they always help us very quickly. This gives us a lot of confidence in the products and services of Nacsport and we therefore expect a long-term relationship with lots of innovations for the future."
Head coach SVV Scheveningen (Topklasse League Dutch soccer)
"Images say more than only words... Since last season we have used Nacsport with our team, SVV Scheveningen, for our video sessions. We do this individually, per category line, or with the whole team, and it is a step forward to becoming more professional. Nacsport offers us the possibility to work with an efficient and user-friendly program to order all the images that we want to show to the players. The simplicity of the program, the training you get to use the program and the service online makes it easier to use Nacsport. But where Nacsport really has success is in the personal treatment you get, the quick service and the great development of the software."
Head Analyst England Lacrosse
"Nacsport has provided England Lacrosse with the ideal platform from which to develop it's capabilities within the performance analysis department.
With international tournaments providing an intense environment for all involved, Nacsport, with it's usability and support services, has proven to be hugely efficient in providing the players, coaches and management with the necessary feedback required to be successful at the elite level.
Beyond this, the applicability of the software to a scouting and recruitment environment has been equally effective, offering coaches and selection committees with a valuable additional resource."
Tamworth FC Analyst
"The main piece of software in use in our performance analysis department at Tamworth FC is Nacsport Basic Plus.
Upon trialling the software we have found that it offers an affordable solution to what had otherwise been presented as an expensive problem. Having previously used established performance analysis software such as Sportstec Gamebreaker and Prozone, I believe that the software compares favourably, primarily offering an alternative running on a windows operating system.
The Basic Plus package provides a suitable workflow that allows game footage to be coded and clipped to allow both pre match and post-match analysis to be achieved. The creation of multiple user defined coding templates allows an easy interchange between the different elements of work that are often undertaken by the department.
The multitude of formats in which the videos and clips can be produced is a beneficial factor of the software as it allows workflows to be amended and the videos can be published using presentations, publishing them to a web ready format (m4v) and exporting onto a digital platform such as Team Performance Exchange (TPE).
The support mechanisms in place with the software are a huge positive as I find myself in direct contact and communication with technical support and in the short period of time I have been using the software it has been constantly updated and the support needed has been more than adequately provided."

Cats are notoriously known for being individual creatures, and when we photograph for House Tours, these finicky felines always add a much welcomed dash of personality to every shot they happen to be in. Whether they are snoozing away, regally perched on a chair, or graciously giving a heart-melting look straight into the camera, these cats and kittens have made the experience of documenting House Tours wonderfully unpredictable and truly delightful this past year.

On the weekend, I had an email from a writing buddy. One of a number of people I met on another website under another name, she is part of a small group who have decided to hold their own writing contest. The idea is to write as many chapters as possible, in the month from 7 May to 7 June. No new projects, just WIPs, are eligible, as the idea is to get a move on with things we have already started. Each participant would offer some kind of prize to the winner, and encouragement of fellow competitors is mandatory. Would I, she asked, be interested?
Would I what! With the school holidays recently I've dropped back my writing output of late, though that was remedied a little by the rush of inspiration (and frantic scribbling) I had last week. The only trouble was, I wasn't sure I would be able to meet their criteria. The thing is, you see, that I don't write in chapters.
Actually, I don't write in order at all. Well, sure, for short stories (up to 7000 or so words) I do, but anything longer than that I'm all over the shop. I write scenes as they occur to me, then put them in order for the story I have vaguely in the back of my mind, and then fill in the blanks. Sure, this means that a lot of what I write eventually gets scrapped, as many scenes either turn out differently than I originally envisioned them, or end up not being included at all, but it's the way my mind words. Key events first, filler later.
The result of this is that I usually have to write the whole novel, and then split it into chapters. There are some natural chapter breaks, of course, but if I want any consistency of chapter length then I occasionally have to move scenes around in order to get them at the end of the chapter. (And I like consistent chapter lengths. One of my foibles, I think.)
I know that I'm not alone in this – I'm told that Stephen King, no less, writes in much the same way – but I also know that there are a lot of writers who start at the beginning and go right through to the end. To me, this is a completely alien way of writing, but I can't help but admire it. I know that some of these people are "pantsers", who don't know where their story will end up until they get there, but others have planned so meticulously that they can tell you exactly what will happen in any given chapter, and could even write it if you asked them to, even if they're nowhere near that in the story as yet. The sheer weight of planning involved in that makes my head spin.
I've told myself that one day, I'll try to write a story that way. I'll fill notebooks not with actual scenes, but notes about scenes, what they'll involve, with meticulous details about story order. I'm not sure that I'll do a very good job at it, but I want to see what it's like.
In the meantime, though, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. It's worked for me so far, and it's the way I feel most comfortable as a writer. And the writing competition my friend suggested? Well, I've come up with a compromise. I'll nominate a set number of words per chapter – say 2500 – and I'll write as many blocks of 2500 words as I can. It's better than nothing, right?

text: Men's chinos are the smarter alternative to jeans but still make for great laid back style. When it comes to men's trousers, it's all about making statements this SS13. Print chinos and camo chinos make waves when it comes to summer fashion, which are ideal to combine with one of our plain tees or polo shirts. We also still have the hottest shades of blue, khaki, stone and burgundy. Look out for new fabrics from rugged washed canvas to soft brushed cotton twill. Extra pockets for cargo style are also right on trend too and look great with one of our polo shirts!

I bought the Dukan diet and recipe book recently. Last year I lost 1 stone on Go Lower (now under a new name, cant think what its called now). Managed to keep it off until this Christmas but put a few pounds on. Go Lower was pretty expensive, so Im wondering how costly the Dukan diet is. I was thinking of just following the book and not going for the counselling part.
However, how will I get to find out my "true weight" as it only appears to offer this free if you sign uo for the whole kit and caboodle!
I need to lose a couple of stone so would five days on attack be about right, then cruise?
Where is best place to buy oat and wheatbran and does it keep well? Considering buying a bulk amount if so.
and lastly, any useful tips and will I feel ill? Lol
Many thanks for any replies.

Lewis Looks at Solving the MBTA's Budget Woes
[Editor's note: The information below was issued in a press statement from the Office of State Rep. Jason Lewis.]
The MBTA, which provides public transit services to 175 communities in the greater Boston area, is once again in dire financial straits. Facing a $161 million budget deficit, the T has put forward two proposals that use a different mix of fare increases and service cuts to close the deficit. The proposed fare increases would impact subway, bus, commuter rail, and RIDE service, with increases that could exceed 40%. The proposed service cuts could eliminate many bus routes - including those that serve Stoneham and Winchester - and end commuter rail service after 10pm on weekdays and entirely on weekends.
I believe both of these proposals are unacceptable. Fare increases and service cuts of this magnitude would be a huge blow to those who depend on public transportation to get to work, school, doctors appointments, or anywhere else. They would also threaten the economic vitality of the Greater Boston region, increase traffic congestion, hurt productivity, degrade our air quality, and harm public health.
The fiscal problems facing the MBTA are largely beyond their making. The root cause stems from decisions that were made in 2000 when the MBTA was re-born with the passage of "Forward Funding" legislation. Prior to 2000, the state legislature would appropriate money each year to pay for the portion of the MBTA's costs not covered by their own revenues (all major public transit systems in the United States rely upon a mix of system-generated revenues and public subsidies).
Under the Forward Funding legislation, the T was given 20% of all sales tax revenue collected annually by the state and required to manage its own budget. This seemed prudent since it would force the MBTA to run more efficiently and end each year with a balanced budget. From 1990-2000, sales tax revenue grew at an average of 6.5% per year. Unfortunately, since 2000, the sales tax has grown at a meager 1% per year, far below revenue projections that were assumed in the Forward Funding plan.
A decision was also made in 2000 to transfer $3.3 billion of transportation-related debt from the state to the MBTA. Furthermore, as a result of settlements to lawsuits brought against the Big Dig, the T was mandated to construct a number of new public transit projects that required the assumption of more debt. As a result, the MBTA now owes more than $8 billion in principal and interest to its bondholders, and debt service consumes more than 25% of its annual operating budget, far higher than other major public transit systems.
The MBTA has also had to cope with an aging infrastructure and rapidly rising operating costs. The T is the largest user of electricity in Massachusetts, and has seen its energy costs rise from $40 million in 2000 to $110 million in 2011. Healthcare costs for employees have doubled in the same time period, much as they have for other employers.
The MBTA has made substantial efforts to cut expenses and increase non-fare revenues. They have partnered with NSTAR to use energy efficient lighting, joined the state's healthcare plan which has a good track record of managing costs, restructured debt, and eliminated positions and overtime spending for employees. New initiatives to increase revenue include expanded advertising and sales of MBTA merchandise.
The state legislature has also made major strides in reforming our transportation system, including the MBTA. An Act Modernizing the Transportation Systems of the Commonwealth, passed in 2009, eliminated the Turnpike Authority and created a consolidated Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). It has saved tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, made our transportation agencies more efficient and responsive to public needs, and significantly improved overall management of transportation services. The new MassDOT was responsible for the impressive Fast 14 Project that repaired crumbling bridges on I93 last summer.
However, reforms to the MBTA and other transportation agencies, while necessary, have not been sufficient to address the MBTA's fiscal challenges or the huge maintenance backlog facing our roads, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure that are so critical to the Commonwealth's economy.
While some modest fare increases (10-15%) are likely necessary to help balance the MBTA's budget, the solution to the T's budget woes needs to be part of a comprehensive financing plan that addresses all of the state's critical transportation needs in the coming decades. This plan should be: adequate to meet basic operating and capital needs; fair to all regions of the state; fair to different modes of transportation while encouraging greater use of public transit; and sustainable so that we stop lurching from one transportation crisis and short-term fix to another.
There is little doubt that this financing plan will require increased revenue. This, in turn, means that we need to build strong public support and political will to make it happen.

1. Unusual female name that sounds just like 'Amelia', and therefore is forever misspelled.
2. Character in Shakespeare's play, Othello. Is excellent for essays because near the end of the play, she gives a vaguely feministic speech that can be interpreted as something of great importance. 1. "You misspelled my name in the yearbook, again, for the fourth time."
2. "I got an A+ on that essay just because I made up a bunch of crap about Emilia's little speech." |
1. | Emilia | ||
The kind of girl who everyone loves. She's stunning and is always lovely. She has a cute face and a great body. Normally she originates from Italy or Spain. Girl 1 'Wow look at that girl , doesn't she seem amazing?'

The first issue of Sonic Universe had something to do with the main series. And then they did it again during the Iron Dominion arc. And now again.

#197 would be a good place to start. But you should also read all of Sonic Universe.

Its no biggie since SX #40 has no ties with any arc it was going with. it was its own stand alone story to tie up the series.
And the Freedom Fighters Vs. Suppersion Squad arc was boss. I loved craaaaaaazy amy and Scorge's superform.

Ehh, not really. Sonic X #40 is pretty unimportant. It's barely even given as much as a mention in Sonic Universe #1. You could skip right from Shadow's part in Sonic #196 to Universe #1 and not even notice you missed anything.

A Canadian by birth, Atticus had decided he wanted to go to Ireland. Out of nowhere. He just wanted to go. Shit happens. Maybe it was the fact that he seriously couldn't get away from his parents. Yeah, that was probably it. Wasn't that usually why people left places? To get away from their god awful families? No? Well, it was probably just him then. His family had always been really close knit, which was something that Atticus absolutely HATED. No one could do anything in his family without everyone knowing it was going on. So, he'd decided to up and leave. He'd moved to Ireland and made friends and now he owned a nice kind of flower shop that sold...cactus...and...Venus fly traps...and other...prickly...tropical flowers. And there was also that nice green house in the back that people liked to visit sometimes. Atticus just...like plants. Especially flowers and killer plants. It was cool to watch them.
He remembered once when he had been attempting to fish with Seamus and he'd brought along a Fly trap to see how it would do. He spent most of the time watching it eat the bugs that landed on it and more than once, Seamus had had to retrieve his fishing pole for him. Needless to say they hadn't done much fishing since then.
Friends. Yeah, that was the important thing. He'd made friends. Of course, he'd run into most of them (literally) when he was running up and down the stairs of the apartment building and had forced them to take a tumble down with him to the first landing. He'd made it up to them! Though he'd never make up for the fact that the to girls had seen his underwear (that was when he learned that he needed to wear pants outside, no matter how much he hated them). He closed up early today and was spending time in the pub that they all would meet up at sometimes, talking to random strangers about the spot on the ceiling that had been there for-fucking-ever.

No. 7 EMCC men fall 61-52 to Pearl River in semifinals of MACJC State Basketball Tournament |
WESSON – In a rematch of last year's state championship game, the seventh-ranked Lions of East Mississippi Community College dropped a 61-52 decision to 15th-ranked Pearl River in Wednesday's semifinals of the 2011 MACJC State Basketball Tournament being held at Mullen Gymnasium on the Copiah-Lincoln campus.
Last year in Scooba, the PRCC Wildcats claimed a 61-58 victory over home-standing East Mississippi in the championship game of the 2010 MACJC State Tournament played at EMCC's Keyes T. Currie Coliseum. In Wednesday's rematch on the Co-Lin campus, Pearl River, seeded second in the MACJC's South Division, scored the final six points of the opening half to take a 29-23 halftime advantage. After the Lions had trimmed the deficit to five points (41-36) on a Deonte Alexander 3-pointer with 11:40 remaining in the contest, the Wildcats answered with six straight points to stretch the margin to double digits (47-36) by the 9:15 mark. Head coach Mark White's top-seeded EMCC Lions, repeat champions of the MACJC's North Division, made one final push to change the game's momentum by again trimming PRCC's lead to five points (49-44) with 4:40 left in the game. However, the Wildcats' Daron Bell broke free on an inbounds play to drill one of his five 3-pointers on the night and all but stymie the Lions' chances of a possible comeback attempt. Dropping to 21-4 on the season after their lowest scoring output of the year, the Lions were led in scoring by freshman point guard D.J. Evans, of Brandon, with 13 points. Sophomore forward Jonathan King registered his 11th double-double of the season with a dozen points and 15 rebounds, while Alexander added 10 points. Improving to 21-4 for the year, Pearl River had four players scoring in double figures on the night. Bell finished with a game-high 18 points on 5-of-9 shooting from beyond the three-point arc. The productive post tandem of Kentari Nettles and Phillip Crawford followed with 15 and 13 points, respectively, while Emil Jones totaled 11 points, 11 boards and six assists for the winners. Thursday's state championship contests in Wesson will pit the eighth-ranked and host Copiah-Lincoln Lady Wolves with the two-time defending state champion Lady Bobcats of Jones County in the women's title tilt, followed by MACJC South Division foes Pearl River and Mississippi Gulf Coast in the men's championship. Both East Mississippi basketball teams have qualified for next week's NJCAA Region 23 Tournament at Mississippi College in Clinton, with tournament pairings set to be announced on Friday. Men's tournament action will begin on Monday at MC's A.E. Wood Coliseum, while women's play is set to start on Tuesday. |

Angels are personal spiritual beings, having aspects of intelligence, emotions, and will. This is true of both the good and evil angels. Angels possess intelligence (Matthew 8:29, 2 Corinthians 11:3, Peter 1:12), show emotions (Luke 2:13, James 2:19, Revelation 12:17), and demonstrate that they have wills (Luke 8:28-31 ,2 Timothy 2:26, Jude 6). Angels are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:14), with no true physical body. The fact that they do not have bodies does not affect their being personalities (any more than it does with God).
The knowledge angels possess is limited by their being created beings. This means they do not know all things as God does (Matthew 24:36). They do seem to have greater knowledge than humans, however. This may be due to three causes.
Angles were created as a higher order of creatures in the universe than humans are. Therefore, innately they possess greater knowledge.
Angels study the Bible and the world more thoroughly than humans do and gain knowledge from it (James 2:19, Revelation 12:12).
Angels gain knowledge through long observation of human activities. Unlike humans, angels do not have to study the past; they have experienced it. Therefore, they know how others have acted and reacted in situations and can predict with a greater degree of accuracy how we may act in similar circumstances.
Though they have wills, the angels are, like all creatures, subject to the will of God. Good angels are sent by God to help believers (Hebrews 1:14). Here are some activities the Bible ascribes to angels:
They praise God (Psalm 148:1,2, Isaiah 6:3).
They worship God (Hebrews 1:6, Revelation 5:8-13).
They rejoice in what God does (Job 38:6-7).
They serve God (Psalm 103:20, Revelation 22:9).
They appear before God (Job 1:6, Job 2:1).
They are instruments of God's judgments (Revelation 7:1, Revelation 8:2).
They bring answers to prayer (Acts 12:5-10).
They aid in winning people to Christ (Acts 8:26, Acts 10:3).
They observe Christian order, work, and suffering (1 Corinthians 4:9, 1 Corinthians 11:10, Ephesians 3:10, 1 Peter 1:12).
They encourage in times of danger (Acts 27:23,24).
They care for the righteous at the time of death (Luke 16:22).
Angels are entirely a different order of being than humans. Human beings do not become angels after they die. Angels will never become, and never were, human beings. God created the angels, just as He created humanity. The Bible nowhere states that angels are created in the image and likeness of God, as humans are (Genesis 1:26). Angels are spiritual beings that can, to a certain degree, take on physical form. Humans are primarily physical beings, but with a spiritual aspect. The greatest thing we can learn from the angels is their instant, unquestioning obedience to God's commands.
Do we have Guardian Angels?
Matthew 18:10 states, "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." In the context, "these little ones" could either apply to those who believe in Him (v. 6) or it could refer to the
little children (vv. 3-5). This is the key passage when the discussion of guardian angels comes up. There is no doubt that good angels help protect (Daniel 6:20-23, 2 Kings 6:13-17), reveal information ( Acts 7:52-53, Luke 1:11-20), guide (Matthew 1:20-21, Acts 8:26), provide for (Genesis 21:17-20<, 1 Kings 19:5-7), and minister to believers in general (Hebrews 1:14). There are so many more instances of these in Scripture.
The question that is difficult to answer is whether each person or each believer has an angel assigned to him/her. In the Old Testament, the nation of Israel had the archangel (Michael) assigned to it (Daniel 10:21, Daniel 12:1), but you do not have anywhere in Scripture where it states that an angel was "assigned" to an individual (they were sometimes sent to individuals on different instances but no mention of "permanent" assignment is given). One commentator states that the Jews had fully developed the belief in guardian angels during the time between the Old and New Testament periods. Some early church fathers believed that each person had not only a good angel assigned to him/her but also a demon as well (I am not sure who they believed assigned the demon, whether Satan or God). But at any rate, the belief in guardian angels has been around for a long time.
If one is to understand from the Matthew 18:10 passage that guardian angels are referred to, it would seem that these angels are not in an active duty, but rather "always see the face of" the Father in heaven. The active duty or oversight seems then to come more from God than the angels. In our society today, it is "in" to believe in angels. We have movies that focus on angels; we have series on TV which portray angels as being assigned to help. Scripture makes it clear that although angels possess superhuman power and knowledge, they are created beings just as we are and are "nothing" in comparison with God. As such, they are not to be worshipped (Exodus 20:1-6, Colossians 2:18). Rather, worship is to be reserved for the Trinity alone. Unfortunately, while the shows about angels give lip service to God, the Son of God is rarely mentioned (if at all). And God says, in John 5:23 that if one does not honor the Son, he does not honor the Father who sent Him.
It cannot be emphatically answered from Scripture whether each believer has a guardian angel assigned to him/her. But as stated earlier, God does use them in ministering to us. I believe that it is scriptural to say that He uses them like He uses us, i.e. He in no way needs us or them to accomplish His purposes, but chooses to use us nonetheless (Job 4:18, Job 15:15). And in the end, whether we have an angel assigned to protect us or not, we have a greater assurance that God gives: that if we are His children through faith in Christ, He works all things together for good (Romans 8:28-30), and that Jesus Christ will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6). If we have an omniscient, omnipotent, all-loving God with us, what does it really matter whether there is a finite angel along side of us or not?

The Safe Breath Survey will tell you that statistics never lie. Nope, they don't. In a poll taken of Americans ages 18 to 34, 85% of people think it would be harder to tell someone they have bad breath than tell them their zipper's down. (I'd have field day if I got to torture my DH and pick on him for that, but anyone else? I'm not sure I could bring it up!) 58% have lost interest in someone they were attracted to due to bad breath. (That would be a buzz kill for me, too) And 48% of women 18 to 34 would end a relationship with someone with consistently bad breath. (Can't say I blame them - who wants to make out with Sir Stinky? Not me!)
Now you have no excuse not to practice Safe Breath - because even if you're wearing super skinny jeans, Dentyne's new Split2Fit Packs holds 33 percent more gum than before AND can be split into two smaller halves that are easier to slip in to close-fitting clothing. Yes, even in those skinny jeans. They have also introduced a new flavor: Dentyne Ice Mint Frost.

Another poll
Which is your favourite film from the Alien movie franchise? I personally rank them as follows:
Aliens>>Alien: Resurrection>>>Alien>Alien vs. Predator>>Alien³.
Yes I included AvP, a contentious decision, it being a crossover film but I preferred it to Alien³ and I believe in terms of box office it came second only to Aliens. James Cameron also ranked it 3rd in the franchise earlier this year, so that's good enough for me.
I'm not keen on Alien³ but I was pleasantly surprised by Alien: Resurrection, particularly with the poor reputation it has gained. Overall my favourite is easily the extended version of Aliens.

About Me First Time Parent
Comments about Parent Units Sippin' Spouts Super Set 3-Pack:
My mom gave this to me and at first I was skeptical but it has turned out to be priceless! I keep it in my bag and can turn any water bottle into a sippy anytine! No matter where we are, my little one can have a drink without wearing it. I only wish this product were available to buy right now because every one of my friends that has seen us use this has vowed to own several themselves. I LOVE this!
These are junk!!!!!
By sltrice
from Strongsville, Oh
I bought these to use on our vacayion for my 2 year old daughter. I thought that they were a great idea, but I should have listened to the other reviews that were posted about this product. i have tried to put these on at least 5 different brands of water bottles (including some of the ones they supposedly work) and they don't fit on anything. These are junk and I am returning mine tomorrow. I did not want to give this any stars, but it wouldn't let me. I have never been so disappointed in a product.
Does't work with most water bottles
By FountainSodaMom
from Philadelphia, PA
I love the idea of having to not bring the sippy cup and have my one year old son drink out of a regular cold water bottle on a hot day. But in the first week of using these I have tried it on 3 different bottles and it doesn't fit any. Annoyed I have to purchase specific water to use the product.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Unlike a sippy cup, there is no valve to stop the flow of liquid, and it doesn't screw on all bottles without leaking, not a product I would buy again or recommend
not impressed
By lucys mama
from iowa
Bought these thinking they would be great going in to summer...but have yet to find a water bottle they fit securely on. They are too small for some and those that they will fit on, they do not fit tight. You can just keep twisting over and over and they are never secure.....waste of money.
Good idea, Poor product
By Redjazz
from RC, CA
I thought this was a great idea & was excited to receive them. Unfortunately they do not screw on to any of the waterbottles I tried. Maybe someone could suggest a brand? They leak , no tight fit. Also it really would have been a great idea if there was a one way valve. My daughter just tips them over & plays with the water!
Love this product!
By Stiff
from Yonkers, NY
I love this product! I carry it everywhere with me when I am with my son. He is 2 yrs old. The product is very convenient and easy to use. No more mess and wet t-shirt. My son loves drinking his water with this on.
Don't buy!

About Me Grandparent
Was advertised to fit on most any water bottle. My daughter tried it on a couple of different ones but said they didn't work.
Sippin' Spouts are Great!
By Netta
from Mansfield, TX
The spouts are so useful everywhere for children to use. They keep the liquid where it should be and go....down our little ones' throats. You don't have to have a special cup when you are traveling. Just a bottle of water or other liquid. Great idea!!!
Don't Buy!!!
By Gramma Cinna
from Fort Worth, TX
Sure wish I'd read reviews before buying this. I haven't found a bottle it will fit on yet and have tried numerous bottled waters, soda bottles, juice bottles, etc. The product might be okay if you could actually get some use out of it, but it is an absolute waste of money as is.
By RosieN
from Chicago, IL
I tried using these spouts with various different water bottles and it did not fit any of them. I could not use them at all.
Great idea- poor fit
By Mommy of twins +1
from Warner Robins, Ga
I was so excited about the idea of this product but was quickly disappointed...the cap doesn't fit standard water bottles...I really haven't found a bottle yet that it works on. Don't waste your money...designer needs to go back to the drawing board and actually test them out next time!
Sipping Spouts for kids

I was very disappointed. This product did not fit a standard water bottle and therefore has no use to me. I have tried on several different brands. They simply don't fit and have leaked water everywhere!
