When Rep. Allan West isn't busy searching for communists in Congress he apparently likes to deny LGBT discrimination even exists in the United States:
This from a Thursday interview with Think Progress's Scott Keyes.
Rep. West, who has previously said that being gay is a choice and so DADT repeal was not necessary because gays could just choose to change, is arguing from ignorance.
He apparently hasn't bothered to learn that in 29 states it remains legal to fire someone solely based on their sexual orientation and in 38 states based on their gender identity.
More than this, surveys have found that at least 16% of gay people say they have experienced some form of anti-gay discrimination in the workplace, while 90% of trans people surveyed in the National Gay and Lesbian Taskforce's groundbreaking transgender discrimination survey reported experiencing harassment, mistreatment or discrimination on the job or took actions like hiding who they are to avoid it. The study found that rates of unemployment and discrimination for LGBT people of color are particularly high.
Congressman West's disregard for the facts should not be surprising given his record, but that he believes lawmakers simply have more important things to worry about speaks volumes about his self-interested politics.

Please do not emulate the ostrich...There IS anti-gay job discrimination throughout North America!
Against stupidity even the Devil fights in vain.
This "representative" is a bigoted idiot!! I don't know who voted for him to represent them, but I'd suggest they rethink and re-vote--this man lives in his own imaginary world, and represents noone but himself!!
Nyack-Sorry about mispelling your name, it was a typo not an insult. That being said, you keep equating relationship choices with sexual orientation. They are not the same thing. Who a person chooses to sleep with is a matter of choice. Sexual orientation, on the other hand is not.
another politician in need of a PROCTOLIST
I guess West never thinks about the fights that gave him the opportunity to rise in a once segregated Army. I bet he never for one second thinks about the abuse, lives lost and sacrifices made by millions to end slavery. I know he never thinks about the abuse, lives lost and sacrifices made by millions to obtain the Civil Rights Act giving African Americans their well deserved freedom. Mr. West is not ignorant, he is an educated man; he is therefore in denial and a betrayer to his race and country he says he loves so much.
Nyack-"@ Kevin Yuck"
What is that supposed to mean?
Being black and Republican is an oxymoron. Besides, West is a narrow minded,evil individual that really needs to learn the facts before he mouths off.
His dumb ass constituents, that voted him in before they bothered to really find out what this pathetic man is all about, are to blame for him being in Washington. VOTE THIS TOXIC fool out of office

Few know the incredible story regarding the last major uprising in North America: the Cristero War in Mexico that just a few decades ago secured greater religious freedom for millions. Though fought for only three years, this roiling civil war left thousands of people dead on both sides.

WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - Until stories about the new movie, "For Greater Glory," started showing up online and in print, very few of us had ever even heard of Cristiada, also called the Cristero War, in Mexico during the 1920's. Now, not only has the war become a popular topic of discussion, but also parallels are being explored comparing early 20th Century Mexico and the United States of today by many.
The Cristero War was about religious freedom - especially for Catholics - when Mexico's newly elected President, Plutarco Calles, began aggressively restricted public religious practices in 1926. By the end, three years later, historians say that as many as 250,000 citizens and soldiers were either executed by the government or killed in battle.
Academy Award® nominee Andy Garcia and Golden Globe winner Eva Longoria lead a star-studded cast that includes the legendary Oscar® winner Peter O'Toole, Oscar Isaac (DRIVE), recording artist and actor Ruben Blades (SAFE HOUSE), Bruce Greenwood (STAR TREK, SUPER 8), Nestor Carbonell (THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, "Lost"), Bruce McGill (LINCOLN), Santiago Cabrera ("Heroes," CHE), Oscar®-nominated Catalina Sandino Moreno (MARIA FULL OF GRACE) and Eduardo Verástegui (BELLA).
Dean Wright, who is best known as a Hollywood effects specialist for such blockbusters as TITANIC, THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, directed the movie.
One special youthful actor in the film is Mauricio Kuri. The fourteen year-old Kuri, born and raised in Mexico City, is appearing in his first major motion picture. I had a chance to talk with Mauricio recently and found him to be a down-to-earth young man with a dream for acting and a heart for Christ.
In preparing for his part, Mauricio became intrigued with the character he was playing. José Luis Sanchez was a 13 year-old Cristero volunteer who was executed for refusing to renounce his faith.
"I studied a lot of that character, Kuri shared, "because he actually existed. There's a biography of him. He gave his life for Christ and I think that's the most important thing to me - to defend your ideals, to defend your religious freedom and your faith."
Playing a real life martyr who died at about the same age had a real impact on this emerging actor.
"I'm Catholic and it (being in this film) drew me closer to my religion. I read the story about Jose and I asked myself 'If we were in those times right now would I do the same thing that Jose did for his faith?' And you know, I think I wouldn't and that's really sad.
"I called a Father - we are really close - and he started talking to me about my faith and the Bible. He was like a guide to me, a spiritual guide. He also took me to a town in Mexico to help people in need. It was amazing; I wanted to be Jose, I wanted to be like a Cristero but now a days."
Sharing with him that being a modern-day Cristero seemed like an interesting goal for someone, I asked what that would look like.
"We can be Cristeros right now. not just to grab your gun and your sombrero," he said with a small laugh, "But to defend your faith. To say 'I'm Catholic and I'm proud of it. And if you don't know what Catholicism is, I can teach you. I can tell you about Jesus and tell you about José.' To live your life the way Jesus wants to live it. "
How refreshing to hear that kind of spiritual passion out of a teenager. I hoped out loud that the film would have a similar impact on others his age. So what would this aspiring actor want to say to those in their early teens?
"If they're going to watch the movie," he replied, "and I hope so because it's a really cool story. If you are going to watch it, you must see Jose's character and get involved in the feeling of all his torture because he is a martyr. Then be like him nowadays.
"It's hard being a Catholic. Maybe some friends are saying you are a fanatic but you must stand up for what you believe. You must stand up for your religion and your most dear friend, Jesus Christ!
"In one of the scenes they took out of the film - I hope you can see it in the deleted scenes when the DVD comes out - I am writing a letter to my mom in the jail cell, saying goodbye to her; and I'm telling her to tell my brothers to follow the example of the youngest boy. That's the key of everything because he was a little boy and he did more than his parents and his brothers. He was an illuminated guy."
During the filming, Mauricio had the opportunity to work with some amazing actors, like Andy Garcia and Peter O'Toole. I asked him what that was like.
"It was amazing to act with Peter O'Toole and Andy Garcia. It was such a great experience because they taught me so many things; they were my best teachers. They knew so many things that I didn't and they taught me a lot of tips for acting. And they talked to me about their personal lives and stuff - yes, it was amazing."
And for the future, do you hope to keep acting?
"I want to continue acting. That is my dream. If the people from here, from the United States, like the movie - if they call me for another project, I would be pleased to participate."
What a blessing for this young guy to find himself in an international release of a movie as his first major excursion into feature films.
"It's a great blessing and unexplainable; I never studied acting before the movie. It helped me a lot, like I said, to improve my faith and to thank God every day for what He has done for me. He has done a lot for me and I owe Him everything."
Mauricio Kuri seems to be a youthful actor who has his priorities straight and his heart fixed in the right direction. I believe it is possible for him to have a successful career and maintain this perspective; it will be hard but truly worth it.
Shooting on historic locations throughout Mexico, "For Greater Glory" opens in U.S. theaters on June 1. For more information, you can visit the films official website.

LONDON (AP) - Lionel Messi narrowly stayed on top of AP's Global Soccer Rankings this week despite breaking the record for goals in a calendar year. The Barcelona great finished one point ahead of Spanish league rival Radamel Falcao, who scored five goals for Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona lost its top spot in the team rankings to Manchester United, which beat Manchester City 3-2 to stay in first place in the Premier League.
Messi received 170 points from 18 voters, with Falcao at 169. Wayne Rooney was third with 120 after scoring twice for United.
Messi broke Mueller's 40-year-old record for most goals in a year, scoring for the 86th time in 2012 on Sunday. The Argentine forward scored twice in a 2-1 win at Real Betis.
Falcao became the first player to score five goals in a Spanish league game since Fernando Morientes of Real Madrid in the 2001-02 season. He led Atletico to a 6-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna.
"Messi or Falcao? Falcao or Messi?" said Eurosport's Cedric Rouquette. "Two superheavyweights went head to head for first place this week. Dethroning Messi in the week he beat Gerd Mueller's goal-scoring record with two clinical goals would take something special. And Falcao's five goals were an astonishing performance."
Aurelio Capaldi of Italy's Rai Sport put Rooney at the top of his list rather than Messi or Falcao.
"Messi's record is impressive and Radamel Falcao scoring five goals in a game for the first time in his professional career is outstanding, but Wayne Rooney deserves the top spot this week as he was the man of the match at the Etihad Stadium," Capaldi said.
AP's panel of global soccer journalists agreed that Chelsea's long-struggling striker Fernando Torres has returned to form, voting him into fifth place with 65 points, two behind Roma captain Francesco Totti. Totti scored twice and set up two more goals in a 4-2 win that ended Fiorentina's nine-match unbeaten run.
Torres scored four times for Chelsea in a week.
"Torres is coming back with coach Rafa Benitez who took him to the top in Liverpool years ago," said Orfeo Suarez of Spain's El Mundo. "Two important victories for Chelsea in the week before the Club World Cup."
Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said: "I may face a conundrum next week if Chelsea wins the Club World Cup. I've sworn them off for the time being, but can I leave the `world champs' out of the top 10?"
In the team vote, Manchester United jumped from fourth to first place with 145 points, ahead of Barcelona (131) and Bayern Munich (110), which leapt from 10th to third place. Bayern finished first in its Champions League group with a 4-1 victory over Bate Borisov and then stayed at the top of the Bundesliga with a 2-0 away victory to Augsburg.
Juventus dropped one place to fourth, despite winning to stay in the Serie A lead. The top teams in Europe's top four leagues fill the top four places in the AP rankings.
Falcao's Atletico Madrid is in fifth place while Real Madrid fell from second to sixth, giving Spain three clubs in the top six.

Alright, in my other post I described the woes I had this year, but mostly pretty fun and for the most part things turned out alright.
I am thinking the high output 1200watt fogger for $60 shipped was a super cheap unit, because it gave out so fast. So, for next year, I am sorta thinking a 1700watt high end pro model.. about $300 or so. Just depends on money throughout the year, but if possible either a good Chauvet or Ansari unit.
Also love to get a few more tombstones done. I the next few days I think I'll put together some good ones. Double-thick styrofoam with a wood base and PVC frame inside. Sand them down, put good lettering and so forth. We'll see though.
Definitely want to get more powerful black lights. Since I ordered two mountable light frames with brackets, if I can find better balcklights to fit them, I'll do that.
It was windy this year too, so even if my fogger worked, it was really blowing away too quick to be very effective. If at all possible, I want to play/build with a PC fan or two and some extra ducting with a high output fogger to see if I can route it around the path and grass areas through a couple of tubes instead of just one.
I would love to get a full sized coffin, but I have no where to store it. I was thinking if I could do that, I would get in it and scare people. But sadly we don't get a lot of kids.. maybe 50 or so over a 3 hour period. I wish we had hundreds! But I amthinking a new costume is in order. Been this one for three years now. If I paint my face red, I'll look like the sith lord.. or the devil. That's what I should be, a really good siniser devil!
So what about you all?

Officials warn of lottery scam used in Fillmore
The Sheriff's Department is warning Ventura County residents about a lottery scam used this week to cheat a Fillmore resident out of hundreds of dollars.
A short, heavy-set man with gray hair and green eyes and a woman with dark hair and a dark complexion used the scam to steal $450 in cash and jewelry from a 61-year-old Fillmore resident Wednesday morning, the Sheriff's Department reported.
Perpetrators of lottery scams often tell victims they have a winning ticket they are unable to cash, and they offer to share a portion of the supposed winnings if the victim gives them "good faith money" to hold the ticket or money to pay the taxes before the winnings are collected, authorities said.
Scammers, who frequently target the elderly, often have an accomplice who will pretend to invest in the deal to gain a victim's confidence.
Authorities are reminding county residents that if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Anyone who suspects a scam should decline to give the suspect money or valuables and call police with a description of the suspects and their vehicle.
To report a crime anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 524-0970 or 494-TALK. Tipsters who give information that leads to an arrest may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

- Pastry
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 1-2 tablespoons ice water
- Filling
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup or golden syrup
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- Creme fraiche, for serving
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Place the flour, sugar and butter in a food processor. Process to coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of the ice water and pulse until dough comes together - if necessary, add more water.
Roll out the pastry to 1/4 inch thickness.
Line two 4-inch tartlet pans that have removable bases with the pastry. (Any leftover pastry can be kept, frozen, for up to 1 month.)
Line the pastry shells with parchment paper and fill with baking weights (dried beans or rice).

We must always be on our guard when it comes to Internet security.
The Internet has grown into an interconnected, global network of networks consisting of private, public, academic, business, and government networks. Today, the Internet continues to be the iconic representation of economic, social, and technical prosperity for the global community. But like a Siren song, the underworld of the Internet can lure you in, singing the tune of wealth, hope, and the allure of better things to come.
"Come here," they sang, "renowned Ulysses, honor to the Achaean name, and listen to our two voices. No one ever sailed past us without staying to hear the enchanting sweetness of our song — and he who listens will go on his way not only charmed, but wiser, for we know all the ills that the gods laid upon the Argives and Trojans before Troy, and can tell you everything that is going to happen over the whole world." The Odyssey by Homer
Underneath the 1's and 0's traversing the Internet rests an underbelly no one wants to talk about. Between the realm of light and darkness, the Cyber Siren waits, attacking quickly, often under the radar of the most technical countermeasures. The cyber crooks and criminals take advantage of the trusting Internet users, phishing for PII, stealing identities and draining bank accounts. The pursuit of cybersecurity proves to be only an apparition, and our false sense of security results in pain and strife.
The most recent Cyber Siren song to top the Internet charts is the "Heartbleed Bug," a security flaw found in the OpenSSL encryption standard which secures communications over the Internet. This global bug renders the Secure in Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) ineffective and hits at the very heart and soul of the Internet, breaking down trust and throwing the cybersecurity ecosystem out of balance.
Ironically, then, a technology intended to keep us safe on the Internet ended up putting us at greater risk. Even when we think we're taking the right precautions — steering clear of the shoals, lashing ourselves to the mast, plugging our ears to keep from being lured by the Siren's song — we can find ourselves exposed to danger on the Internet.
Although I used a Greek myth as a starting point, I'll close with an apt phrase from Latin: when it comes to the Internet, we must be semper vigilans — always vigilant. We can never afford to be lulled into thinking we have "accomplished" cybersecurity.

It truly does what it says!
Please do read carefully what it says it does. For 99c it`s a pretty fun app.
"A Phone tracker" is NOT REAL! IT DOES NOT TRACK ANY PHONE! My step son wanted me to purchase it because he thought it would be cool. When you put in an address, THAT is the location of ALL phones you want to track. Get it? IT DOES NOT TRACK ANY PHONE! DID I SAY THAT THE PHONE TRACKER DOES NOT TRACK ANY PHONES? This has turned into a $.99 lesson to read the reviews first, so this is why I am trying to help others from making the same mistake by writing this review.

Strictly Come Dancing star, Abbey Clancy, spoke up against the controversy her body image has caused.
Clancy, also the new face of Ultimo underwear, has received a lot of criticism over her slim figure, reports The Mirror. Katie Price in particular commented on her figure, especially after Clancy posed for Hunger magazine.
However, the 28-year-old told OK! Magazine that she's naturally slim, it's genetic.
"My brother is about 6ft 4in and about a size 6 himself - he's that thin!" Clancy said. "All my family are tall and lean."
She explained that participating in Strictly Come Dancing also helped her slim down, however she wasn't looking for it. Clancy claims she feels healthier, but she feels as if now she has a "boyish" figure.
"My boobs went, I got a six-pack and my legs went muscly," she explained. "So I was like, 'I'm not sure if I like this!"
Now, as the face of Ultimo underwear, her confidence can have a boost. She claims that she's able to "go up two cup sizes," so she explains, "It's ideal."

Deep inside the Frasassi cave system in Italy and more than 1,600 feet below the Earth's surface, divers found filamentous ropes of microbes growing in the cold water, according to a team of Penn State researchers.
"Sulfur caves are a microbiology paradise. Many different types of organisms live in the caves and use the sulfur," says Jennifer L. Macalady, assistant professor of geosciences. "We are trying to map which organisms live where in the caves and how they correspond to the geochemical environment."
In this process, Macalady and her team discovered a previously unknown form of biofilm growing in the oxygen-deficient portion of the lake.
"The cave explorers had seen these strange biofilms," says Macalady. "So we asked them if they could get us a sample."
The Frasassi cave system is located north of Rome and south of Venice in the Marche region. These limestone caves are like New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns and Lechuguilla Cave, but in those caves, sulfur entered the caves from oil and gas reserves, while in Italy, the sulfur source is a thick gypsum layer below. Having sulfur in the environment allows sulfur-using organisms to grow.
The researchers received about the weight of two paper clips of the strange rope to analyze. They reported the results of their DNA sequencing today (Dec. 19) at the American Geophysical Union Conference in San Francisco.
"We did not retrieve any sequences for known methane-producing organisms or known methane oxidizers," says Macalady.
The researchers did find that about half the organisms were bacteria and the other half belonged to another single-celled group of organisms called archaea. The researchers identified half the bacteria as sulfate reducers, bacteria that convert sulfates into sulfide to obtain energy. Of the archaea, more than half were associated with organisms usually found in deep sea sediments and referred to as marine benthic group D (MBG-D). Researchers do not kno

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) May 30, 2013
Botox, the brand name for a drug made from Botulinum toxin, is popularly known as a treatment for wrinkles. With widespread media attention and exposure through television and film, it is no surprise that many people think of Botox solely as an anti-aging solution. However, according to a May 25, 2013 Miami Herald article, titled "Botox: The New Drug for Migraines," the drug can also be used to effectively treat migraines, particularly the kind that are unresponsive to oral drug treatments and traditional therapies (Go to goo.gl/7k5is).
"Botox for migraines can be a life altering treatment," says Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. "For some people migraines are completely debilitating and being able to provide a reprieve from that is very gratifying."
According to the article, migraines are distinct from other types of headaches, causing pounding pain, vomiting and nausea, often signaled by a sensory disturbance called an "aura". The headaches are often worsened by stimuli such as noise and light. They do diminish in intensity and frequency over time but their exact cause remains unknown and poorly understood.
The article goes on to say that traditional migraine treatments consist mostly of oral medications, rest and relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes. If an association is found between episodes and factors such as the environment, the weather and food, for example, the doctor may also recommend abstaining or minimizing contact or ingestion in patients.
