Top to bottom, Dolphins rookie class proving its worth as season unfolds
- 9:13 am Saturday, November 26th, 2011 by Brian Biggane
It takes time to evaluate any NFL rookie class. A training camp bust can quietly develop into a worthwhile contributor, while a guy who looks like he might be the real deal in meaningless preseason games often fades quickly as the real hitting begins.
But now, with the season one game short of three-quarters complete, it's become clear the Dolphins are getting a lot out of the Class of 2011.
A round-by-round assessment:
1 _ Center Mike Pouncey might have been the safest pick of the entire draft. His twin brother Maurkice made the Pro Bowl as a rookie with Pittsburgh last year and Mike had the same work ethic, attitude and intelligence when he arrived. The absence of offseason workouts certainly slowed his progress, but Pouncey earned raves from quarterbacks Chad Henne and Matt Moore for how quickly he picked up the schemes and was able to make the calls for the rest of the line. He's as much a keeper as Jake Long. [More]
Thursday morning talking points: Vontae Davis, Daniel Thomas getting healthy
- 8:12 am Thursday, November 10th, 2011 by Brian Biggane
The feel-good vibe that was created by Sunday's 31-3 rout of Kansas City was still prevalent when the Dolphins returned to practice Wednesday, with everyone but backup cornerback Nolan Carroll participating fully in the two-hour workout. Miami's improving health is where we start our Thursday morning talking points.
1. The hamstring issues that have plagued the Dolphins all season are disappearing.
Hamstrings have proven frustratingly difficult to heal, particularly in the cases of Vontae Davis and Daniel Thomas, two players the team was counting on heavily this season and who have been in and out of the lineup. Both finally have at least appeared to get back up to full speed, and their return to health should make a difference the rest of the way.
One need look no further than the New York Giants game to see the significance of their absence. With Davis out, QB Eli Manning went after his replacement, rookie Jimmy Wilson, with good success including a touchdown. Thomas' absence proved crucial in the second half when Reggie Bush became less effective and a change-of-pace back would have made a difference.
Dolphins-Chiefs live blog: Dolphins roll to first win over Chiefs 31-3
- 1:00 pm Sunday, November 6th, 2011 by Post Staff
KANSAS CITY _ Quarterback Matt Moore threw two touchdown passes to Anthony Fasano and a third to Brandon Marshall and Reggie Bush ran for another score as the winless Dolphins stormed to a 31-3 victory over Kansas City Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
The win ended a 10-game losing streak for Miami dating back to Week 14 of last season.
Miami had blown three fourth-quarter leads in losing its first seven games, but there was no danger of a repeat as Moore engineered a balanced attack and the Dolphin defense harassed KC quarterback Matt Cassel all day, sacking him five times.
After the Dolphins used their most complete first-half performance of the season to open up a 14-3 lead, the Dolphins turned the game into a rout by scoring on their first two possessions of the third quarter.
Dolphins CB Vontae Davis won't play vs. Chiefs, and team defends Chad Henne's decision to have season-ending surgery
- 4:16 pm Saturday, November 5th, 2011 by Post Staff
Update: Vontae Davis has actually been ruled out by the Dolphins for a "non-injury" reason. While it is unclear what the reason is, Davis and the team haven't seen eye-to-eye in recent weeks about the way he's been rehabbing his hamstring injury and told him to stop seeing a local massage therapist two weeks ago.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan praised rookie cornerback Jimmy Wilson this week as "an overachiever" and said he had "more good plays than bad" last week against the Giants in his first NFL start.
Nolan will need Wilson to play well again, as Wilson will be making his second straight start today against the Chiefs. A source confirmed that starting cornerback Vontae Davis, listed as questionable on the official injury report, did not make the trip to Kansas City because of a nagging hamstring injury and therefore will miss his second straight game and fourth this season.
But running back Daniel Thomas, who also missed last week's game with a hamstring injury, did fly out with the team and is hopeful to share running back duties with Reggie Bush today.
Saturday morning talking points: Daniel Thomas likely to play, Vontae Davis 50-50
- 9:43 am Saturday, November 5th, 2011 by Brian Biggane
Sunday is a special day for rookie running back Daniel Thomas, who of course played collegiately at Kansas State and thus will have a lot of former teammates in the stands when the Dolphins face Kansas City at Arrowhead. That's where we'll start our talking points for Saturday:
1. Figure on Daniel Thomas returning, but Vontae Davis remains 50-50.
All signs have pointed toward Thomas getting back in the lineup, but how much he'll play remains a question mark for two reasons: Coach Tony Sparano is still concerned about Thomas' hamstring, and last week's performance by Reggie Bush suggests he'll get another [More]
Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan says he's never heard of 'Suck For Luck'
- 4:23 pm Thursday, November 3rd, 2011 by Post Staff
The Dolphins players' feelings on the "Suck for Luck" movement taking hold in South Florida, in which Dolphins fans root for the team to lose so the team can draft Stanford QB Andrew Luck in the first round in April's draft, is well documented.
Among the stronger comments from the players, OLB Jason Taylor called it "ridiculous" and TE Anthony Fasano called it "sick."
But don't count defensive coordinator Mike Nolan among those upset by the movement. In his weekly press conference Thursday, Nolan was asked by an out-of-town reporter how the weak crowds at Sun Life Stadium and "Suck For Luck" movement have affected the team on game days.
"Suck for Luck…." Nolan said in a drawn-out fashion. "I haven't heard that. I really haven't."
Miami Dolphins Talking Points: Note to Stephen Ross: Beware the allure of the big-name coach
- 10:10 am Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011 by Post Staff
Three Dolphins talking points heading into Wednesday's practice, the first of the week as they prepare to face the Chiefs:
1. Note to Stephen Ross: Beware the allure of the big-name coach.
As the losses pile up, the picture becomes increasingly clear that the Dolphins will be firing coach Tony Sparano at some point and starting anew in 2012.
And much of the talk, of course, involves the Dolphins hiring a high-profile coach – Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, Jeff Fisher the three most common names – to excite the fan base and restore order, and dignity to the franchise after a disastrous decade of mismanagement.
As Ross prepares to move forward with his coaching search, one word of advice:
Just because a coach has a Super Bowl on his resume and was successful in a different situation does not mean he will be successful again in Miami. As we all know, no NFL coach has ever won a Super Bowl for two different teams.
Meanwhile, look at some of the most successful head coaches in today's NFL:
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from the Dolphins 20-17 loss to the Giants
- 11:04 am Tuesday, November 1st, 2011 by Post Staff
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from the Dolphins' 20-17 loss to the Giants:
The Good
* Reggie Bush with the ball in his hands: Great day for Bush in Daniel Thomas' absence, rushing 15 times for 103 yards (6.9 average) and catching four more passes for 17 yards. It was Bush's second career 100-yard rushing game – the first also came at the Giants, in 2006 – and he also broke off runs of 35 and 28 yards.
* The run blocking: Even without Richie Incognito (ankle), the Dolphins felt like they could push the Giants' smallish defensive line around, and they did. They rushed for 145 yards on 26 carries (5.6 average) and two touchdowns, one each by Steve Slaton and Matt Moore. The Dolphins entered the game with just two rushing touchdowns all season. For Moore, it was his first career rushing score.
Dolphins-Giants live blog: Giants send Dolphins to 0-7 with 20-17 comeback win
- 12:00 pm Sunday, October 30th, 2011 by Post Staff
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. –The New York Giants scored 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to pull out a 20-17 victory over the Dolphins Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
The Dolphins scored on their first two drives of the game and led 14-3 until the Giants drove downfield in the closing seconds of the half to cut the deficit to 14-10. The Miami offense could muster only a 40-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter after halftime.
The game had no turnovers until Corey Webster picked off Matt Moore to snuff out the Dolphins' last drive with 1:44 remaining.
Miami is now 0-7. With St. [More]
Miami Dolphins CB Vontae Davis, RB Daniel Thomas downgraded to OUT vs. Giants
- 6:39 pm Saturday, October 29th, 2011 by Post Staff
The Dolphins will be without two of their key starters on Sunday against the Giants.
Not surprisingly, cornerback Vontae Davis will be sitting out his third game this year because of a hamstring injury. The Dolphins had listed him as doubtful after he sat out practice all week, but downgraded him to out after leaving him at home on Saturday.
But in a bit of a surprise move, running back Daniel Thomas was also left home in South Florida and downgraded to out because of a hamstring injury. Thomas has previously missed two games this year with a nagging hamstring injury, but combined for 34 rushes for 100 yards in the Dolphins' past two games.

Tenants of an Upper West Side mixed-income building allege the landlord is discriminating against the elderly by barring low-income residents from using the property's on-site gym.
The battle broke out earlier this year after Stonehenge Partners reserved the gym at Stonehenge Village at 135 West 96th Street strictly for market-rate tenants. In an update to an earlier complaint cited by DNAinfo, 74-year-old tenant association president Jean Dorsey said 66 percent of rent-regulated residents at Stonehenge Village are 65 or older, while just 5 percent of wealthier tenants fall in that demographic.

First day of school
It was said to me last week – as it has been about this time the past several years.
"It seems summer is getting shorter and shorter."
Close to Nowhere
It rained and rained
My youngest granddaughter Remy and I ran off last weekend.
The girls' mom had run away to Washington, D.C., with a friend, and Meredith, my oldest granddaughter, is leaving for California bright and early Saturday morning.
The Preacher's Corner
'For church tonight ...six candles should light the room'
With all the manifestations of electronic religion it is remarkable to think that the little congregation I serve once worshiped without so much as electric lights to illumine their songbooks. Belle Strickland, a young woman who kept a diary here during the Civil War, commented on the deprivations of war when she wrote on Tuesday, October, 25, 1864, that "Mr. Paine [the Presbyterian minister] had church and we went….Mr. Paine said that he was going to have church tonight and that he thought that six candles would light the room." I think about this sometimes amid all the technological paraphernalia that are sometimes thought necessary for life. Of course, air-conditioning is convenient, but it is not usually necessary to sustain life.

Alternatives to tile in a tub/shower surround
This topic can be found at:

Alternatives to tile in a tub/shower surround
After a wonderful weekend of unexpected plumbing issues that included cutting holes in my tub/shower surround, I find myself needing to replace the entire surround. Does anyone know of any alternatives for materials that can be used besides tile and solid surface? I'm not a fan of grout and solid surface just seems so blah. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I need to fill in about 75 square feet with something..
Feb 17, 2014, 06:08 PM
There's also plastic / vinyl / fiberglass surround kits, but they are a downgrade from tile or solid surface.
There are thousands of solid surface colors and patterns, more than enough to keep from being 'blah'. That would be my first recommendation. You could also go with a natural solid surface like quartz, granite or marble. Just get ready to spend some serious money.
Feb 17, 2014, 06:11 PM
Look up in the yellow pages for Cultured Marble, and Corian countertop surfaces. They do tub surrounds, and like Jaybee said, have lots of choices. Go visit their showrooms to see samples.
Or large tile with 1/16 inch grout lines.
They make it look so easy on tv, don't they
Feb 17, 2014, 06:27 PM
Maybe this....
Feb 18, 2014, 05:38 PM
Thank you! I found a place locally that specializes in surrounds, so I'll be paying them a visit this weekend. I never thought about the marble and granite. I would have thought those would be too porous for a shower. They are a little out of my price range though, but it's something to check into.
Thanks a bunch for your input!

Welcome to Herefordshire Churches, which is primarily for family researchers looking for that important image of a church to illustrate where their ancestors were christened/married/buried, and also for information on other aspects of historical Herefordshire There are still some interiors of churches to photograph, and also there are many more historic castles and buildings in this beautiful county of Herefordshire which I intend to add. We will be adding the rest of Herefordshire's churches and the missing interiors as soon as possible.
I started this project after many years of doing my own family tree, when I struggled to find decent church images to add to my write up along with reliable information on the relevant area – I hope that those looking for church images in Herefordshire will be pleased with what they find here – it has to be said that on many occasions I found it extremely difficult to find a good position from which to take the photos; in some cases massive yew trees obscured the churches from every conceivable angle, and in others the church grounds were not wide enough to enable a good view. Very frustrating! Sometimes I found myself low down on an adjacent lane, but this then gave a distorted image of the church and the only other option was, for example, a field with a large bull in it!…….please bear the problems in mind before grumping about the images of some churches! For those who find that their particular Herefordshire church is still to be uploaded………it should not be too long before the site is completed in that respect, and if you have any particular requests for searches for gravestones etc. relating to any of the missing churches then contact me as soon as possible. Unfortunately, as far as most of the Herefordshire churches that have already been photographed are concerned it is unlikely that I will be able to go back in the near future – the exceptions being those Herefordshire churches where access to the interior was not possible on my last visit; I will be going back to try again!
Special Interest in Herefordshire Churches
It may be that your interest is in the Knights Templars, in which case the church of St. Michael at Garway is worth a look…..it is one of the six churches in England attributable to the Knights Templars. On request, I will happily provide further information on the history of this charming and interesting Herefordshire church. There is also a stone effigy of a 7 foot male wearing the habit of a Knight Templar dating from the 13th century in the church of St. Mary The Virgin – Bishops Frome.
One of the few churches to escape the Reformation was at Huntington, and if your interest includes the history of Thomas A Becket, (and one of his murderers – Richard le Bret) then this one is for you, or perhaps you are fascinated by fonts in which case take a look through some of the wonderful old ones featured here, in particular the one at Madley Church, which is one of the largest in the country and is reputed to be around 1000 years old.
Separate Bell Towers in Herefordshire
Herefordshire boasts seven of only forty churches in England and Wales with a separate bell tower. These include St. Michael & All Angels -Ledbury; St. Leonards – Yarpole; St. Bartholomew – Richards Castle; St. Mary's – Pembridge; Holy Trinity – Bosbury; St. Mary's – Kington; St. Michael – Garway
Watercolours of Herefordshire Churches
Original watercolour paintings of selected Herefordshire churches are being added and are available for purchase.
As a new feature for the site, I am including some brief outlines of the lives and importance of historically famous sons and daughters of Herefordshire. The first to be completed is JOHN MASEFIELD, Poet Laureate who was born in Ledbury. Click here to read more: Famous People from Herefordshire. Now added – TOM SPRING,, bare knuckle fighting champion. THE MORTIMERS of Wigmore. JOHN KEMBLE, Martyr. Sir JOHN OLDCASTLE.
OCCUPATIONS in nineteenth century Herefordshire - take a look here where there are also snippets of news items and bankrupts.
Herefordshire Workhouses
This section contains images of many of the workhouses in Herefordshire, with more due to be added before too long, as well as some lists of inmates and the staff who ran the workhouses. check out workhouses in Herefordshire
Herefordshire Gaols
Some fascinating facts here, and you never know, you might find an ancestor lurking on this page!
Herefordshire Castles
An ongoing project – click here to have a look.
Herefordshire Manor Houses, Courts and Halls – a new feature of the site, which so far includes Berrington Hall, Burton Court, Upper Hall, Brockhampton Court and Canon Frome Court, can be found here.
The churches in Herefordshire are almost without exception in beautiful and often remote surroundings, and many are extremely old with fascinating histories. If you would like some "padding" for a particular Herefordshire church in your family history, then please send an email and I will do my best to oblige. Also, if you have any interesting stories of your Herefordshire ancestors and are willing to share them, I would be delighted to hear from you.
This site is completely free and you are welcome to copy as many photographs as you wish for your personal use. Any comments would be appreciated.

It was an Honour Killing prevalent mainly in North India. Arushi's father is the culprit who killed his Daughter out of rage on the spur of th moment due to her intimacy wth the servant. Arushi's mom helped her husband & she also needs to b punished .Answered by Nitin Ray, 12 May '12 08:15 pm
The fact that initially the CBI had decided to close the case shows that there may not be sufficient evidence to convict anyone in the court of law. I personally feel that it will remain as one of the unsolved cases. Do you know that in about 50% of cases put up in the court of law since the police has botched up the evidence the accused are exonerated in India.Answered by Manoj Adwani, 12 May '12 08:09 pm

Well, because I am super-limited on time due to being a grad student with a part-time regular job and two art gigs I'm currently doing as well as working on my thesis comic, it would be 2000x awesomer if I could sell a few arts I've already done rather than doing nothing but commissions.
ANYWAY. I am now offering all of the ORIGINALS of these for sale for $25 + shipping. Thats right, you could own the ORIGINAL FANBOY COULSON, or any of these other goache/colored pencil pieces for a measly 25 united states dollars! I will personally mount each piece on a small piece of matboard and package it with the utmost care (and insure it) to arrive safely in your hands as the proud owner of THESE AWESOME PIECES OF ART.
If there is a positive response to these I may continue doing them. I probably won't take requests, it'll just be whatever I feel like doing when I have a few minutes to myself. I may also offer up some of my bigger pieces for sale though they will be slightly more expensive.
PS. signal boosting is also appreciated. When I know I've got over $3800 of bills coming my way this summer and a little over $2000 to pay them with, I need all the help I can get.

Jenna shrugged at the question about the word. She honestly didn't know where she heard it — maybe one of the movies that she watched with Natasha. "Dunno." It was hard to cover up a lie when someone had perfected the art of lying and Jenna was learning that right now. There was a nod as she rested her chin on pulled up knees with the pillow trapped between her legs and chest. Her nose wrinkled at the first words of the book. She knew them and began to read those easily. However, the further she got, the more tongue tied she became and easily frustrated. It was hard to be her age and have the basic talking abilities of a young child.
Lucas sighed under his breath, it felt like he was pulling teeth talking to children sometimes. "Alright then." There was no point in pulling it out of Jenna if she didn't feel like talking about it, and honestly he didn't feel like scolding the little boy. He had a feeling it wouldn't make a difference one way or another right now, and it'd probably just make the little boy angrier with him. Lucas soon forgot about the problems that Gavin and Jenna were having, maybe subconsciously realizing that he wouldn't be able to fix them for the two children and instead focused on Jenna, helping her through the words she was having trouble with.

Some have asked about Seaport Village RV Park in the Rockport/Fulton, Texas area. Here are my first hand observations of conditions in the park.
The website is impressive and the amenities are attractive but it stops there. Price incentives are offered to encourage long time residence, but the park policy is if you dont like it you can leave and I dont want you back. Another policy is there is no refund for early departure.
Now lets talk about the park. The website says they are 800 yards from the Copano bridge. This is true and the water supply for the park is well water- not city water. I find the water to have a brackish, salty taste with a definite odor. I use purchased bottle water for drinking and cooking. Bathing is sometimes difficult because of the smell.
When entering the park do so very slowly. There are children playing everywhere. There are speed limit signs posting a 3 mph limit.
Be cautious of the children. They are respectful, well mannered children with a limited space to play. No they do not go to public school, but are home schooled therefore bikes, scooters, basketball goals etc. are always laying about.
The layout of the park is horse shoe shaped with the office, bathhouse, laundry, and what use to be the club house in the open end of the horse shoe. The park is very crowed, especially in the winter. After parking the rvs there is little space for parking your vehicle Most have to park across the front of their rvs. This causes congestion on the drive and makes it difficult to get thru at times especially if you are pulling a trailer or boat.
The club house has been turned into a restaurant, which is generally closed when not serving. There are no more pot luck dinners or get to gathers as mentioned on the website. During serving hours at the restaurant getting into the park can sometimes be very difficult as there is no real parking area for restaurant customers and they have a tendency to park wherever.
Most people have to go to the front of the park by the highway to get cell phone reception.
Wireless Internet is available but only works if you are located in the front of the park.
The pool is not heated as stated in the website and some rvers left. Early departure.
In the early spring the oak worms go thru their yearly cycle of crawling all over and into everything. They get into your rv, drop down on you, get into your bed etc. Other parks hire exterminators to take care of this problem before they hatch. Some people are allergic to these crawling fuzzy worms and some rvers have left. Another early departure.
I have found my stay in the park to be very stressful and not enjoyable. We have made friends with a lot of people most of whom have left (early departures) and will not return.
I have decided that life is too short and the world is to big to have to settle for less.
I too have left not to return(early departure) while some others are serving out their time. In fairness there are some who are satisfied with these conditions.
There are many nice parks in the area that care about their guest and are appreciative of their business. Many are booked from year to year. Be sure and do your research before committing.
Yours Truly,
Early Departure

New urbanism, a term coined two decades ago, describes mixed-use neighborhood development and sustainable communities. According to newurbanism.org, \"New urbanism promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant, mixed-use communities composed of the same components as conventional development, but assembled in a more integrated fashion, in the form of complete communities.\" Stapleton, one of the country's first and finest examples of new urbanism, was established in 1995 on the site of the former Stapleton International Airport. The community, six years in the planning and developed by Forest City Enterprises, offers its approximately 12,500 residents a cohesive sense of community.

Jackie Kennedy'€™s Pink Suit: The Story Behind The Outfit She Wore When JFK Was Shot
Jackie Kennedy, before, during and after John F. Kennedy's presidency, was a style icon, inspiring the masses with her fashion and poise. One outfit worn by the former First Lady that will never be forgotten is the pink suit she wore on the day of JFK's assassination.
Jackie Kennedy's Pink Suit
"Even those of us who were not born when Kennedy was president are not immune to the horrific image of that perfect woman in that perfectly beautiful suit covered in blood," says Nicole Mary Kelby, author of the novel The Pink Suit. "In Dallas, our dreams died. Our hopes followed. We are still in mourning for Jackie's America."
Jackie Kennedy's pink suit was commonly mistaken to be Chanel. In truth, Jackie Kennedy, wary of receiving criticism for wearing the French designer, had the replica made by New York Couture house Chez Ninon in 1961. Prior to Nov. 22, 1963, Jackie Kennedy had already worn the suit, one of her husband's favorites, a handful of times.
Day Of JFK's Assassination
The First Lady selected the pink dress out of her wardrobe after receiving some packing advice from her husband. "There are going to be all these rich, Republican women at that lunch … wearing mink coats and diamond bracelets," Jackie Kennedy told historian William Manchester of JFK's comments. "And you've got to look as marvelous as any of them. Be simple – show these Texans what good taste really is."
As the President and First Lady sat in the back seat of the Lincoln Continental, making their way through Dallas and passing the Texas School Book Depository, shots were fired. When JFK was shot, once through the head, Jackie became covered in his blood. After he was pronounced dead at Parkland Hospital, Jackie Kennedy refused to change into a clean outfit.
"No, I'm going to leave these clothes on," she told presidential aides. "I want them to see what they have done to Jack."
Jackie Kennedy remained in the bloodstained dress as Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the 36th president of the United States, and reportedly regretted having washed the blood from her face. Lady Bird Johnson was there for the moment and later described the surreal scene of the normally pristine First Lady.
"Her hair [was] falling in her face but [she was] very composed … I looked at her. Mrs. Kennedy's dress was stained with blood," said Johnson. "One leg was almost entirely covered with it and her right glove was caked, it was caked with blood – her husband's blood. Somehow that was one of the most poignant sights – that immaculate woman, exquisitely dressed, and caked in blood."
Jackie Kennedy's pink suit is currently held at in the National Archives building in College Park, Maryland. The suit, which has never been cleaned and has never been seen since the day of the assassination, will not be put on display for the public until 2103, reported CNN. The First Lady's blue blouse, shoes and purse, and her stockings from that day are all kept in the National Archives vault as well.

In The Life Series: Surviving the Past
N THE LIFE travels to Florida to speak with Martin Gill, a foster father whose case is challenging Florida's ban on gay adoptions, meet with openly gay Mayor Craig Lowe, and learn about the struggle toward legislative equality in the Sunshine State.
Episode Update: Martin Gill and Family
In The States: Florida (00:16:40)
On September 22, 2010, The Third District Court of Appeals in Florida upheld a lower court's ruling in favor of Martin Gill, his partner and his two foster sons, agreeing that the state law banning adoption by gay people is unconstitutional.
The appellate ruling applies to the Gill family alone and does not overturn Florida's ban on gay adoption. The state has 30 days to decide whether to appeal to the State Supreme Court, where a ruling would constitute a statewide determination on the law.

"Corrective Rape" continues in 2010 part 2
J-FLAG protests against 'corrective' rape of lesbians
Other Acts of Violence from the Northern End of the Island
"Corrective rape" is the barbaric practice where men rape lesbian women to "make them straight". This heinous practice is alive and well in Jamaica but goes largely unreported. Nevertheless, last year there were six reported cases, and this month two lesbians were raped within days of each other.
The first young lady was walking home when she was brutally set upon and gang-raped by a group of four men from her community. The men had complained about and seemingly had had enough of her "butch" or manly attire and were also upset that she had all the good-looking women. They therefore "cut her" so she can better "tek man". Two days later the second young lady, a known friend of the first, was driven away in a taxi, held at knife-point and brutally raped after being forced to perform oral sex on her assailant. She was then dumped partially clothed and told that the next time her rapist would use a condom.
Both rapes were reported to the police. However, it is doubtful the women will follow through with the prosecutions as the stigma and discrimination faced by raped lesbians in Jamaica is much worse than regular rape victims: in the eyes of most Jamaicans, lesbians have dared to challenge the hetero-normative status quo and have therefore somehow caused their attacks.
As a people we should have a national revulsion to such often violent abuse of the rights of Jamaica's lesbian and gay population. Instead, encouraged by our leaders and laws, many of us wear our homophobia like a badge of national pride.

Calls for Tourism Boycotts are Nonsensical at This Time

Calling for boycotts by overseas based Jamaican advocates who for the most part are not in touch with our present realities in a real way and do not understand the implications of such calls can only seek to make matters worse than assisting in the struggle, we must learn from, the present economic climate of austerity & tense calm makes it even more sensible that persons be cautious, will these groups assist when there is fallout?, previous experiences from such calls made in 2008 and 2009 and the near diplomatic nightmare that missed us; especially owing to the fact that many of the victims used in the public advocacy of violence were not actual homophobic cases which just makes the ethics of advocacy far less credible than it ought to be.

Violence and venom force gay Jamaicans to hide
Violence and venom force gay Jamaicans to hide a 2009 Word focus report where the history of the major explosion of homeless MSM occurred and references to the party DVD that was leaked to the bootleg market which exposed many unsuspecting patrons to the public (3:59), also the caustic remarks made by former member of Parliament in the then JLP administration. The agencies at the time were also highlighted and the homo negative and homophobic violence met by ordinary Jamaican same gender loving men. The late founder of the CVC, former ED of JASL and JFLAG Dr. Robert Carr was also interviewed. At 4:42 that MSM was still homeless to 2012 but has managed to eek out a living but being ever so cautious as his face is recognizable from the exposed party DVD, he has been slowly making his way to recovery despite the very slow pace
Thanks for your Donations
thank you for your donations via Paypal in helping to keep this blog going, my limited frontline community work, temporary shelter assistance at my home and related costs. Please continue to support me and my allies in this venture that has now become a full time activity. When I first started blogging in late 2007 it was just as a pass time to highlight GLBTQ issues in Jamaica under then JFLAG's blogspot page but now clearly there is a need for more forumatic activity which I want to continue to play my part while raising more real life issues pertinent to us.
Activities & Plans: ongoing and future
- To continue this venture towards website development with an E-zine focus
- Work with other Non Governmental organizations old and new towards similar focus and objectives
- To find common ground on issues affecting GLBTQ and straight friendly persons in Jamaica towards tolerance and harmony
- Exposing homophobic activities and suggesting corrective solutions
- To formalise GLBTQ Jamaica's activities in the long term
- Continuing discussion on issues affecting GLBTQ people in Jamaica and elsewhere
- Welcoming, examining and implemeting suggestions and ideas from you the viewing public
- Present issues on HIV/AIDS related matters in a timely and accurate manner
- Assist where possible victims of homophobic violence and abuse financially, temporary shelter(my home) and otherwise
- Track human rights issues in general with a view to support for ALL
Thanks again

What to do if you are attacked (News You Can Use)
Try to reason with the attacker: Establish communication with the person. This takes a lot of courage. However, a conversation may change the intention of an attacker.
Do not try anything foolish: If you know outmanoeuvring the attacker is impossible, do not try it.
Do not appear to be afraid: Look the attacker in the eye and demonstrate that you are not fearful.
This may have a psychological effect on the individual.

The San Francisco 49ers depth chart at tight end took a literal beating in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Starter Vernon Davis left Sunday's game with a concussion and must pass the league's concussion protocol this week before he can be cleared for next weekend's game in New Orleans. Backup Garrett Celek left with a hamstring injury and tried to return in the second half against the Panthers, but couldn't go.
That left Vance McDonald as the only healthy tight end and the 49ers were forced to use tackle Adam Snyder as the second tight end in their double-tight sets.
Derek Carrier is currently on the 49ers practice squad and would be the most likely candidate to move onto the 53-man roster.
Carrier spent time with the Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles last season, but did not appear in any games. He was added to the 49ers practice squad in September.
Coach Jim Harbaugh told the Sacramento Bee on Monday that any decision about signing a free-agent tight end would not be made until the injuries to Davis and Celek could be more thoroughly assessed.
Tight end wasn't the only injury concern coming out of Sunday's game. Rookie safety Eric Reid suffered his second concussion of the season and it was a scary one.
Reid will also have to pass the concussion protocol before being cleared to play against the Saints next Sunday. Harbaugh said Reid "seemed to be doing good" after the game. Reid was also concussed in the loss at Seattle in September.

by Greta Riemersma and Martijn van Tol
A Muslim man can renounce his wife if she does not pray five times a day and he can hit her if she rejects his sexual advances. But he is not allowed to hit her hard, just enough to break her resistance. A recent spate of fatwas has brought embarrassment on Morocco. With Ramadan due to begin next week, it is raining fatwas.
Every day, the conservative newspaper Attajdid prints a new fatwa. Fatwas are nothing more than religious proclamations. Nevertheless, they irritate liberal Muslims because, in their eyes, each fatwa is more absurd than the last. For instance, the Wahhabist mufti Al-Maghraoui claimed, in a different publication, that 9-year-old girls are allowed to marry, because "some girls of nine are better in bed than women of 20 and over". Fatwas often contradict one another and there are also foreign fatwas, which find their way into Morocco via the internet and Arabic TV channels.
Not impressed
Sadoua Amezian, who grew up in Morocco, lives in the Netherlands. She is currently on holiday in her country of birth. She is not impressed by the constant flow of fatwas.
"We think it is normal to discuss these things, that various scholars have different opinions. I choose my own path. But people who are not educated depend on them. If you are illiterate like our parents, the fatwas influence you more. Even if there is a fatwa and there are different views about the subject, you think logically what suits you best, but to my parents it is just a matter of: that's the way things are. A scholar said it, so that is all there is to it."
The Moroccan socialist Party, the PSU, wants to put an end to "ridiculous fatwas which go against common sense, logic and the law". One fatwa in Attajdid said unemployed people were allowed to pay bribes to get jobs, if all other avenues had been exhausted. That is going too far, says the PSU.
Ahmed Toufiq, Moroccan Minister van Islamic Affairs has had enough. "It's ridiculous that everyone can say anything without knowing anything about a matter". He recently called together the High Council of Oulema, Morocco's highest Islamic scholars, to do something about the "chaos". As a result, only fatwas issued by the High Council have to be obeyed.
Is the Moroccan debate also influencing Muslims outside Morocco? Sadoua Amezian does not think so.
"Most Moroccans get their sense of norms and values from home. There are fatwas, but ... it's something that is close to home, via friends and internet. I don't think people will look to what is happening in Morocco. The imam in our mosque does has influence, but not the imams from Morocco. Even if more fatwas are on television, it will not have any influence on my behaviour."
Disappearing taboos
Mustapha Khalfi director general of Attajdid says his newspaper prints fatwas to stimulate religious reform in Morocco. "We want Islam to be dynamic, he says. There are also liberal Muslims who agree with him, such as Islamic scholar Abdelbari Zemzemi. He does not agree with most of the fatwas, but: "Everything is discussed and slowly taboos are disappearing."
In any case, the wave of fatwas has not made Morocco more conservative, thinks Ms Amezian on holiday.
'What I see happening in Morocco, is actually the contrary. It is very modern, it is not the case that fatwas are making people more orthodox. There is actually more freedom than before. We weren't allowed out in the old days. Now you see men and women walking down the street together. Just enjoying music. And the beach is full, it never used to be like that. And really not everybody is wearing a long dress and headscarf. I think it has become more open, you are allowed to do a lot more now. I was surprised how much has changed."
Drops in the ocean
Will the fatwas awaken the old Morocco? The modern, educated generation of Muslims isn't likely to let itself be bossed around. To them the rain of fatwas are drops in the ocean during a hot Moroccan summer.

Hi! I'm stoked to present my thesis comic, If This Be Sin, based on the life of Gladys Bentley. It's for sale on Gumroad! You can download the 16 page full-color PDF for $2.
Gladys Bentley, was a blues singer, piano player, and drag king who performed bawdy tunes in Harlem nightclubs throughout the 1920s and '30s. Despite the social obstacles she faced as a black, openly queer woman, her outrageous and energetic act became a mainstay of the Harlem cabaret. In 1952, under the oppressive social conditions of the McCarthy era, Bentley publicly renounced her previous identity and claimed to have found happiness as a feminine housewife.
Gumroad is super simple to use, you just have to enter your credit card number and you'll be sent a direct download, plus Gumroad will email you a link to re-download it if you ever lose track of the file.
FOR EVERY 100 NOTES, I'LL GIVE AWAY A DIGITAL COMIC TO A RANDOM TUMBLR USER so please share if you can! (Within each 100 notes, only people who reblog are eligible for a free copy.)
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the comic!This looks amazing!
one of my favourite humans, is this Gladys Bentley.

The view of the lake and surrounding area was fantastic from our RV site. We loved the hillside site. It had just the right amount of privacy and generous shade. The staff was very friendly. And the location was great - you're just 10 minutes from Silverwood Theme Park and 1/8 mile to Farragut State Park. We'd definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay here! We tied up our boat to the lakeside bulkhead right in front of our motor home making it secure and easily accessible. The kids had a blast fishing, swimming and feeding the ducks in the lake. Parking was convenient. The public bathrooms/showers were very close by. They even had lockers! The staff was friendly. We'll definitely stay here again.
