Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is considered a risk factor for development of invasive carcinoma (IC). Many variants of LCIS have been described based on pathologic features such as nuclear grade, pleomorphism, and necrosis, but little is known about the biology of these variants. The proposed 3-tier grading system for LCIS has not been validated or endorsed across laboratories. We found significant upstaging of pure pleomorphic LCIS (LCIS with nuclear grade [NG] 3), up to 25% in core needle biopsy (CNB) specimens, in an earlier study. The aim of the current study was to address the importance of pure classical LCIS (NGs 1 and 2) in CNB specimens along with clinicopathologic follow-up. In follow-up resection specimens, IC or ductal carcinoma in situ was seen in 18% (7/39), a high incidence of residual LCIS was seen in 69% (27/39), and other high-risk lesions, such as atypical ductal hyperplasia, were seen in 36% (14/39) of LCIS NG 2 cases. Our study illustrates the importance of grading LCIS; we recommend follow-up excision in LCIS NG 2 cases owing to a high incidence of residual LCIS and the likelihood of identifying other high-risk lesions.
Many historical evolutions of concepts emerged regarding lobular neoplasia since Cornil first described this entity as "intraepithelial breast carcinoma in lobules" in 1865.1 Currently, the term lobular neoplasia encompasses atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). According to the Page criteria,2,3 ALH and LCIS differ quantitatively, although they are composed of small, round, monomorphic, dyscohesive cells with an increased nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio; ALH is defined as fewer than 50% of the acini in the affected terminal duct lobular unit involved by the lobular proliferation, and these cells do not completely occlude the lumen or produce marked distention of the acini. LCIS is diagnosed when greater than 50% of the acini in the affected terminal duct lobular unit are completely filled and distended by the cellular proliferation.
In the current literature, several variants of LCIS are described4; these include pleomorphic LCIS, pleomorphic apocrine LCIS, LCIS with comedo necrosis, and carcinoma in situ with mixed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)/LCIS. The classical LCIS contains 2 types of cells: type A cells are small and relatively uniform in size, have round-to-ovoid nuclei and uniform chromatin with scant cytoplasm, and lack prominent nucleoli; type B cells are larger, with more abundant and clearer cytoplasm, slightly more pleomorphic nuclei, clumped chromatin, and conspicuous nucleoli.5,6 A 3-tiered grading system has been suggested, based on the extent and degree of proliferation and/or cytologic features.7 However, this grading system requires validation by other centers and is not endorsed at this time owing to lack of long-term follow-up studies.8,9
In recent years, pleomorphic LCIS has been recognized as a distinct variant of LCIS that is composed of large, pleomorphic, dyscohesive cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and Nottingham grade 3 nuclei with prominent nucleoli.10 The emerging data also suggest that pleomorphic LCIS has been upstaged to a more significant lesion on follow-up resections in up to 25% of cases.11 Conversely the data on the classical LCIS are sparse, in particular the intermediate nuclear grade (NG) 2. LCIS still lacks the distinct nuclear classification of DCIS for many reasons, such as the relatively small number of patients, lack of effective clinical diagnostic methods, and insufficient evidence of how it may affect the clinical outcome. The purpose of the current study was to examine the clinical outcome of patients diagnosed with classical LCIS, principally intermediate NG 2, to provide the clinical evidence warranting grading LCIS in core needle biopsy (CNB) specimens.
Materials and Methods
Institutional review board approval was obtained for our study. All CNB specimens diagnosed as classical LCIS (including NGs 1 and 2) at our institution from January 2002 to June 2009 were retrieved from our pathology files. H&E-stained slides were reviewed, and the diagnosis was confirmed. All cases associated with DCIS or invasive carcinoma (IC; ductal or lobular) were excluded. Cases of pleomorphic LCIS were also excluded (because we reported our results in a recent study).11 Cases in which the only indication for excision was the presence of incidental LCIS in a CNB specimen were selected (4 cases of incidental LCIS in CNB specimens without follow-up excision were also excluded). Clinical, pathologic, and radiologic follow-up data were obtained.
The criteria for this study were adopted from the World Health Organization classification, based on the degree of proliferation and/or cytologic features. By using a similar nuclear grading system to that for DCIS, we defined LCIS categories as follows: low NG (NG 1) Image 1, predominantly (>90%) type A cells; monomorphic (uniform)-appearing cells; diffuse, finely dispersed chromatin; and absence of "nucleoli" and occasional mitoses; and intermediate NG (NG 2) Image 2, more than 10% and up to 90% of type B cells; cells ranging from small to slightly larger, with well-mixed type A and type B cells; slightly more pleomorphic nuclei; and clumped chromatin, frequent mitoses, and conspicuous nucleoli.
Radiology records were reviewed to ascertain the reason or method for biopsy and the presence of microcalcifications or mass lesions. The follow-up resection reports were reviewed for presence of a "significant lesion," which in our study included DCIS, IC, or both. The presence of other risk lesions was also noted.
Statistical Analysis
The χ2 test was used to compare 2 proportions.
The total number of CNBs performed from 2002 to 2009 was approximately 20,000. Based on our strict criteria, 49 cases of pure classical LCIS (10 NG 1 and 39 NG 2) diagnosed in CNB specimens with follow-up excision were selected.
Radiology Results
At our institution, stereotactic- and magnetic resonance imaging–guided biopsies are performed with 9-gauge vacuum-assisted needles with a 12-mm-long trough; ultrasound-guided biopsies are routinely performed with 14-gauge non–vacuum-assisted needles. In LCIS NG 2 cases, 32 (82%) of 39 were stereotactic guided, as were 7 (70%) of 10 LCIS NG 1 cases; the remainder were guided by magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound. Calcifications (Ca++) were seen in association with 35 (90%) of 39 NG 2 cases and in 7 (70%) of 10 NG 1 cases. For study purposes, we separated the results for NG 1 and NG 2.
In the CNB specimens of LCIS NG 2, if the targeted lesion was a cluster of calcifications, LCIS was an incidental finding in 35 (90%) of 39 cases. If the targeted lesion was a speculated mass, LCIS was an incidental associated finding and the mass was represented as fibrocystic change or fibroadenoma in 4 (10%) of 39 cases.
In the CNB specimens of LCIS NG 1, if the targeted lesion was a cluster of calcifications, LCIS was an incidental finding in 7 (70%) of 10 cases. If the targeted lesion was a mass, LCIS was an incidental finding and the mass represented a hyalinized fibroadenoma or radial scar in 3 (30%) of 10 cases.
Follow-up Resection Results
As per our standard protocol for all follow-up resections, the tissue is submitted entirely for histopathologic examination. Follow-up data were available for all of the selected LCIS NG 1 and LCIS NG 2 cases.
In the 39 follow-up resections of the LCIS NG 2 cases, 14 (36%) were segmental mastectomy, 3 (8%) were total mastectomy or lumpectomy, and 22 (56%) were excisional biopsy or other type of biopsy. In the 10 LCIS NG 1 cases, 5 (50%) were segmental mastectomy, and the other 5 (50%) were excisional biopsy or other type of biopsy.
IC (ductal or lobular) was seen in 4 (10%) of 39 LCIS NG 2 cases, whereas no IC was identified in LCIS NG 1 cases (0/10). The infiltrating carcinoma was morphologically ductal (tubular type) in 2 cases and lobular in 2 cases. Tumor size ranged from 1 to 3 mm. The NG was 1 or 2 and stage was T1a in 3 cases and T1b in 1 case. The foci of IC were seen in the vicinity of a prior biopsy site, and it is possible that the significant lesions were missed owing to relatively small size.
DCIS was seen in 3 (8%) of 39 LCIS NG 2 cases compared with 1 (10%) of 10 LCIS NG 1 cases. DCIS was morphologically micropapillary or cribriform with a lower NG (1–2) in all cases. E-cadherin staining was performed in all ICs and in situ carcinomas to confirm "ductal" or "lobular" morphologic features. Residual LCIS was seen in 27 (69%) of 39 LCIS NG 2 cases and 8 (80%) of 10 LCIS NG 1 cases.
Other associated high-risk lesions were also noted in the follow-up excision specimens. Atypical ductal hyperplasia or atypical ductal epithelial hyperplasia was seen in 14 (36%) of 39 LCIS NG 2 cases and 3 (30%) of 10 LCIS NG 1 cases. Intraductal papillomas and/or radial scars were seen in 15 (38%) of 39 LCIS NG 2 cases and 4 (40%) of 10 LCIS NG 1 cases. A high incidence of fibrocystic change was seen in association with LCIS NG 2 cases (39/39 [100%]) and LCIS NG 1 cases (9/10 [90%]) compared with the general population age-standardized incidence rate (89.4 per 100,000 woman-years).12 In 25 (64%) of 39 LCIS NG 2 and 6 (60%) of 10 LCIS NG 1 cases, columnar cell changes were found. The pathologic associations with LCIS NG 1 and NG 2 in the follow-up resection specimens are shown in Table 1.
Statistical Analysis
Upstaging to DCIS or IC was found in 7 (18%) of 39 LCIS NG 2 cases vs 1 (10%) of 10 LCIS NG 1 cases (χ2 = 0.126; P > .5). The difference was not statistically significant, which may be due to the low number of LCIS NG 1 cases in our study.
LCIS is an established risk factor for subsequent IC, ductal and lobular. Current National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend counseling patients concerning risk reduction with tamoxifen in premenopausal women and with raloxifene in postmenopausal women.13 LCIS is often multicentric and bilateral and is usually diagnosed as an incidental finding following surgical excision of another breast abnormality.14–16 There are no specific clinical findings, in particular, no palpable lump associated with these lesions, and the lesion is rarely visible on mammography as a dominant mass.17,18 When examining pathologic specimens, there are no gross macroscopic features characteristic of LCIS. Furthermore, multifocality in clinically undetectable lesions makes subsequent management planning difficult when LCIS may be the most significant finding of a CNB, and there is no standard of care for treatment.
With regard to the management of LCIS, some investigators recommend routine surgical excision as a follow-up procedure for all CNB specimens with LCIS, whereas others have taken a more conservative approach. Based on published studies, a follow-up excisional biopsy seems prudent in all cases of LCIS diagnosed by CNB. In a meta-analysis of 9 separate studies of 228 patients with newly diagnosed LCIS, 15% of 172 patients (who did not undergo unilateral mastectomy as primary treatment) had IC in the ipsilateral breast, and 9.3% of 204 patients had IC in the contralateral breast in the follow-up study.19 Therefore, the risk for developing breast cancer is bilateral, and the development of contralateral breast cancer is 3 times more likely in patients with LCIS than in patients without LCIS.20 A more aggressive approach may be more beneficial because studies have also shown that carcinoma is 3 times more likely to develop in the ipsilateral compared with the contralateral breast.21,22
So, is subsequent resection really necessary in all cases of LCIS or can the indication be more selective based on histologic classification? The classification of lobular intra-epithelial neoplasia 1 through 3 introduced by Bratthauer and Tavassoli23 was not universally endorsed by pathologists owing to sparse outcome data. Recent studies, however, have recognized pleomorphic LCIS as a distinct variant that is composed exclusively of lobular cells with grade 3 nuclei. The studies proposed that this entity needs to be separated from classical LCIS owing to its more aggressive biology, and the accepted treatment is similar to that for DCIS.24
The prognostic value of grading of invasive lobular carcinomas (ILC) was addressed by few studies. In a large study by Rakha et al,25 a multivariate analysis showed that histologic grade is an independent predictor for shorter survival and for disease-free survival. In the same study, the ILC of intermediate NG (NG 2) showed higher local/regional recurrence (44% vs 37%) and distant metastasis than the low NG (NG 1). The results of this study provide strong evidence for routine assessment and reporting of histologic grading for ILC, and, in fact, the authors recommended routine reporting of the Nottingham grade for ILC.25
In contrast, the significance of routine histologic grading of LCIS has not been addressed by many studies, although it is used by many pathologists in practice. In our current study, we assessed the clinical importance of histologic grade in LCIS with available long-term follow-up. To date, no other similar studies could be found in the literature. Our study, for the first time, exemplifies the increased upstaging of NG 2 LCIS in a significant number of cases compared with NG 1 LCIS, although our study results are not statistically significant. We also found that pleomorphic LCIS, like its invasive correlate, is a distinct entity with a high risk of upstaging (25% in our earlier study).11 A great majority of classical LCIS, including NGs 1 and 2, cases in our study were associated with microcalcifications, although in the majority of the cases, microcalcifications were associated with fibrocystic change rather than LCIS. The upstaging to a more significant lesion in comparison with pleomorphic LCIS was lower (25% vs 18%) for NG 2. Only 1 case of NG 1 cores was upstaged to DCIS rather than an IC. We believe that a risk of 18% upstaging is clinically significant, and, therefore, we propose that a 3-tiered nuclear grading system should be adopted for LCIS.
Although our study has not addressed the long-term prognostic significance of grading LCIS, we reveal data that indicate the association of NG 2 LCIS with other lesions of known prognostic significance such as DCIS and IC. As the recent literature integrates LCIS as an important component of low-grade carcinoma based on molecular data, we, as pathologists, need to understand more about LCIS and its other high-risk associations such as flat epithelial atypia. It is important that we are all on the same page and use a universal system of reporting.
We believe there is clinical justification for adopting a 3-tiered grading system for LCIS. We also recommend follow-up excision for patients with LCIS NG 2 owing to residual LCIS that may be NG 1, 2, or even 3 and the 18% likelihood of identifying additional significant lesions, resulting in upstaging.
Upon completion of this activity you will be able to:
define lobular carcinoma in situ according to a proposed 3-tiered grading system.
find the right immunohistochemical stains to differentiate lobular neoplasia and ductal hyperplasia.

|LeBron Watch: Report indicates Miami is the choice
|07.08.10 at 6:26 am ET
According to reports from Newsday and ESPN, LeBron James has decided to sign with the Miami Heat, joining Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh there. James will announce his decision Thursday night at 9 p.m. in an ESPN special.
Shortly after midnight, Newsday's Alan Hahn tweeted that "multiple sources" indicated James had decided to pass on the Knicks and go to Miami.
The ESPN report by Chris Broussard followed about an hour later. It notes that James' friend Chris Paul has urged the superstar to stay in Cleveland and play for new coach Byron Scott, who previously coached Paul in New Orleans, and that James could reconsider his choice. Other family and friends apparently also have reservations about how James would be perceived joining a power-packed team and if that would take away from his brand.
A report at Yahoo! Sports indicates that James' representatives began calling free agents Wednesday to assess their interest in joining the new "Big Three" in Miami. The Heat have only two players under contract: forward Michael Beasley and point guard Mario Chalmers.
However, the Yahoo! report noted that James reserves the right to change his mind and sign with his hometown Cavaliers, who can pay him a six-year, $125 million contract, more than $30 million more than what he could get from the Heat.
'LeBron always waits until the last minute to make a decision,' Yahoo! quotes Chris Dennis, who used to run James' foundation. 'He always does.'
|Allen: 'There's no other place I wanted to be'
|07.07.10 at 11:21 pm ET
Ray Allen reached a two-year agreement with the Celtics and is looking forward to continuing his career in Boston.
"I'm happy to be returning as a Celtic," he told WEEI.com via text message. "There's no other place I wanted to be."
According to a source familiar with the negotiations, WEEI.com confirmed the deal is worth $10 million annually. The second year is a player option.
Allen, who turns 35 this month, made it clear following the NBA finals that he would like to return to Boston — 'I'll deal with that when the time comes, but it's obvious that I don't want to be anywhere else,' he said after Game 7. He garnered attention from around the league, however, once he hit the free agent market. According to one report, LeBron James contacted Allen about joining him, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade on a "Dream Team."
Allen's return to the Celtics keeps the "Big Three" intact. Paul Pierce agreed to a four-year deal last week and Kevin Garnett has two years left on his contract.
Allen averaged just over 16 points during last season and the playoffs. He set an NBA finals record by hitting eight 3-pointers against the Lakers. Allen will be entering his 15th season in the league and doesn't expect to slow down any time soon.
'I believe I'm so far ahead of the game that I'm able to play longer," he told WEEI.com during the regular season. "People look at basic standards of guys my age at 34, like some guys at 34, there's no way they could play basketball right now. And I'm thinking at my age now, I can go even a few more years doing what I'm doing the way I'm doing it because for me, it's not rocket science."
|Source: Allen agrees to return to Boston
|07.07.10 at 9:54 pm ET
WEEI.com has confirmed Ray Allen will return to the Celtics after agreeing to a two-year deal worth $10 million annually, with a player option for the second year. ESPN.com's Marc Stein first reported the deal on Twitter.
Allen, who turns 35 this month, averaged just over 16 points last season and in the playoffs. He garnered attention from around the league when he hit the free agent market this summer, and was reportedly contacted by LeBron James about playing for a "Dream Team" with him, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.
Allen had attested during the NBA finals, however, that he would like to return to the Celtics. His agreement keeps the Big Three intact for another shot at a title after Paul Pierce agreed to a new four-year deal last week.
|C's win first Summer League game against Bobcats
|07.07.10 at 7:53 pm ET
Celtics 92, Bobcats 71
The Celtics once again got off to a quick start in the first quarter, just like the first two games of Summer League play. Only this time, Boston (1-2) widened its lead and cruised to its first win against the Bobcats.
Tony Gaffney set the tone early as he received the opening tip and finished with a slam dunk. Celtics big men Semih Erden and Luke Harangody led Boston to a 21-10 lead after the first quarter. Erden grabbed four rebounds while Harangody scored eight points, including both of his 3-pointers for the game.
In the second quarter, Harangody was hit under his left eye as he went after a rebound against Alexis Ajinca and was forced to leave the floor as blood flowed. He later returned at the five minute, 11 second mark in the fourth quarter with a patch on his cheek and scored four more points to add to his total of 12.
DeShawn Sims and Ryan Thompson extended Boston's lead in the third quarter, scoring the first 14 points for the Celtics. With the game in hand, both players got extended playing time while the starters rested. Thompson was 3-of-4 from the field and finished with 11 points in 19:58 of play. Sims caught on fire and put on a show as he scored 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting in only 15:57 of court time.
Charlotte (2-1) suffered its first loss of the summer as it shot 37.5 percent from the field and 11.8 percent from beyond the arc. Derrick Brown led the Bobcats with 12 points while Jeremy Pargo chipped in 10. The Celtics, on the other hand, had five scorers in double digits and shot a blistering 53.8 percent on the day.
Player of the game
Coming off the bench, Matt Janning scored a game-high 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting while pulling down eight rebounds. The Northeastern product could put up points in college as well, where he became the fourth all-time leading scorer in school history in his four years.
|Latest big man linked to C's: Jermaine O'Neal
|07.07.10 at 4:56 pm ET
Free agent center Jermaine O'Neal is the latest big man to be linked to the Celtics. He told ESPN's Marc Stein that he was considering the Celtics along with the Mavericks and Nuggets.
O'Neal joins Brad Miller, Shaquille O'Neal, Brendan Haywood and Kwame Brown in the race for the Celtics' mid-level exception and a chance to replace the injured Kendrick Perkins. Brown is obviously the least accomplished of that group.
The Celtics made O'Neal look terrible in the playoffs, but he's younger than Miller and Shaq and, playoffs aide, O'Neal had a good season with Miami in 2009-10. He appeared in 70 games for the first time since 2003-04 and he shot over 50 percent for the first time in his career en route to averaging 13 points and seven rebounds a game.
It's expected that the free agent logjam will open up once LeBron James make his decision Thursday. O'Neal was not expected to re-sign with the Heat, an expectation that became reality once Chris Bosh announced he was going to Miami with Dwyane Wade.
|Report: Bosh to join Wade with Heat
|07.07.10 at 8:00 am ET
According to an ESPN report, Dwyane Wade will re-sign with the Heat and be joined by Raptors free agent Chris Bosh. The players are expected to announce their decision Wednesday, one day before LeBron James declares his choice in an ESPN special Thursday night.
|LeBron to announce decision in Thursday TV special
|07.07.10 at 6:47 am ET
LeBron James will announce his plans for the future during a one-hour special on ESPN Thursday night at 9. ESPN reported that James' representatives contacted the network and suggested the idea. James' group reportedly plans to sell sponsorship and donate the proceeds to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
James did not speak to reporters when he made an appearance at his elite basketball camp Tuesday in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.

How far can a Government change social habits by legislation or advice? This Government has certainly succeeded in demonising smokers by outlawing smoking in some public places. And many believe that the Conservatives' Aids awareness campaign did have an effect on sexual mores at the time it was launched. Before that, condoms were for idiots.
But when a minister like the Health Secretary Dr John Reid says - as he did when launching an all-embracing health White Paper in November - that his aim is for people to have "more responsible sexual relations", isn't that just whistling in the dark?
Isn't what we get up to in the bedroom our own affair?
And anyway, how can his squawking, headmasterly words have any effect against a tide of pornography on the internet, movies and television programmes that show explicit sexual scenes, and a press which, by exposing stars getting up to all kinds of sexual monkey business, as my granny used to say, makes "irresponsible sexual relations" more glamorous?
Despite a hugely expensive warning campaign, the number of sexually transmitted diseases soared to 705,954 last year, an increase of 4.6 per cent on the previous year. Despite the memory of those Eighties Aids campaigns, and a much greater awareness of the true risks and myths of infection, the number of people living with HIV in Britain rose to a record level of more than 50,000 last year.
And despite the existence of the Teenage Pregnancy Unit, set up in 1999, we still have the highest pregnancy rate among the under-18s in the whole of Europe. Sexual health experts say warnings are simply being ignored.
The Commons Health Select Committee has criticised sex education and its chairman, David Hinchliffe, says Britain has a "Benny Hill culture" that resorts to nods and winks rather than open and frank discussion.
I believe there are fashions in sexual activity in the same way as there are fashions in skirt lengths. The Government could legislate until it was blue in the face that men should wear pink hats covered with flowers, but however many billions of pounds they threw into the campaign, men would remain pretty much hatless.
The fashion today is for naughty sex. Welcoming stores sell sex toys on the High Street. Up to a million people in this country have tried swinging - or wife-swapping as it used to be called in the Seventies - and 14 in every 100 of the others say they would like to, apparently. Then there is dogging, the pursuit of al fresco intercourse with a partner while strangers stand in the shadows watching, or with the strangers themselves. The website where arrangements are made are busy. Forest glades and car parks are stirred by the sounds of dogging, which even has a semi-celebrity advocate in the former England footballer Stan Collymore. Until people get bored with all this, which they will (or they get bored, at least, with discussing it or trying it out), it will continue to flourish.
Providing teenage girls with a better education and proper job opportunities might be a more sensible way of cutting teenage pregnancy than simply droning on about how irresponsible it is. And setting a good example might be another.
If Carole Caplin could get pregnant without being married, at the time when she was the Prime Minister's wife's best buddy why shouldn't the rest of us? I didn't notice her being cast out into the snow at the time.
As for Chris Smith - ahem, ahem. Very brave to come out about being HIV-positive, but while we don't know the circumstances of his infection, one question does arise: where was the condom when it mattered?
And don't get me started on the subject of David Blunkett. Irresponsible or what? An affair with a married woman and no condoms was not what Mr Reid was talking about when he wanted us all to have responsible sex. The words "mote" and "eye" spring to mind.
A sexual nanny state will never work. First, because what we get up to in bed is our own private business. But second, it's doomed to fail if the nanny in question is always to be found lying on a bed with her legs apart.
Virginia Ironside is a relationships expert and writes for `The Independent'
`I've grown to enjoy it, there's an unspeakable excitement'
Alice, 41, Nottingham
I've always thought of myself as unshockable but the first time I went to a swingers' party, about a year ago, I was stunned by it.
Before I even saw them, I could smell the 15 couples having very public sex in every possible position and configuration, on a series of beds pushed together in an enormous white bedroom. Before I saw them I could hear the grunts, groans, sighs and farts of sex, then the occasional slapped bum or orgasmic moan.
If there were 30 people having sex on the beds, there were probably 20 more standing around watching them, naked or virtually naked, touching each other and themselves, making eye contact with any other spectators they fancied.
A hard-looking bottle blonde wearing a Central Casting rubber porn outfit was strapped into a leather hammock which hung by a rope from the ceiling, pleasuring a queue of about 12 men.
There wasn't a condom in sight. Contrary to all my preconceptions about gorgeous people having gorgeous group sex, like in the movies, everyone there looked fat, tired and just a bit weird.
It was a `private' party in a big, isolated private house in the Midlands countryside. The hosts and hostesses were the two late-40-something couples who own and live in the house together.
I went along, reluctantly, because my partner had been into swinging before he met me and had loved it. I was disapproving but, I have to admit, hugely curious. As I've got more used to the atmosphere - the painful small talk over cheap wine and cheesy dips at the start, the amateur pole- dancing on the dance-floor, the sense of being eyed up from every which way - I've grown increasingly excited by these parties.
They create an emotional turmoil which I find painful at the time but exhilarating in retrospect - resentment that my partner ever wanted to take us down this road, mild self-loathing fury that I've grown to enjoy it myself, unspeakable excitement at having spectated and sometimes sudden sex with some gorgeous stranger while my partner joins in or watches.
Swinging has inspired insecurities, jealousies and petty rows between us (usually when we've been `joined' by someone one of us would probably like to have been in a relationship with). But it also keeps our sex life fresh, and allows us to believe, if only for a few hours, that middle- aged people who drive a Ford Focus, shop at Asda and enjoy power ballads, can still go to the dark side.Reuse content

Public sector pensions change and reform - .PDF file.
The next few years will see significant changes in the public sector pensions arena. There will be a large number of new public sector pensions as well as changes to the arrangements for outsourcing and a new role for the Pensions Regulator.
At first sight, this may seem unimportant to those working in the private sector, but public sector pensions are an issue for many private sector businesses. This is because outsourcing contracts and other events that give rise to public sector employees transferring to a private sector employer often result in that private sector employer becoming an employer in the public sector pension scheme under a government policy known as 'Fair Deal'. The upheavals in the public sector pensions are significant enough to give increasing interest to those working outside the public sector.
Public sector pension schemes operate in a manner that is very different from the private sector. Generally, they are established under legislation and their terms are prescribed by statutory instruments rather than trust deeds and rules. Much of the pensions legislation that private sector schemes are so familiar with does not apply, including the scheme-specific funding obligations of part 3 of the Pensions Act 2004, the employer debt provisions under section 75 of the Pensions Act 1995, the member-nominated trustee provisions of sections 241 to 243 of the Pensions Act 2004, eligibility for the Pension Protection Fund under part 2 of the Pensions Act 2004 and section 67 of the Pensions Act 1995 in relation to the changes to subsisting rights under a pension scheme…

a loud voice inside myself screams
and another voice whispers
both of their sounds
are echos
and yet invisible
i see them with my soul
these fragments from a whole
are dreamers
of a thousand other dreams
my drive-time is a kite
and dreams are my wind
i take flight
when they end and begin
there is no need to land
powered by collective inner sound
sustainability the plan
so many voices
string along weight to these choices
too much time spent on me
and the kite hits a tree
postponing destiny
until someone sets me free

Maui Wedding Photographer Joe D'Alessandro combines his unbridled enthusiasm with 23 years of wedding photography experience to create your dynamic wedding images. We offer an online gallery, digital albums and wedding DVD's that combine music and motion to your images.
What was your favorite wedding photo?
There are too many to pick just one, but I especially love the more 'playful' ones.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
Joe followed our lead on how and when we wanted to be photographed. We did a lot of candid shots, but I wanted posed shots too. The posed shots ended up being really unique, and his use of both natural and artificial light cast an almost ethereal glow that made me look really pretty (whereas normally I am unphotogenic).
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
We chose one photographer, and a dvd. Joe has all kinds of packages though, from super-simple to very elaborate.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
Joe is just so mellow and relaxed that we never felt uncomfortable or awkward. He's really great and professional, but fun.
What was your favorite wedding photo?
We use Joe D'Alessandro exclusively for our weddings. We are Marry Me Maui, a wedding planner on Maui since 1997. Joe's style is contemporary and his images are beautiful. All our couples love his work.

A GP who visited a female patient at her work, pulled down his pants and asked for oral sex is fighting to keep his name suppressed.
The GP, referred to as Dr Y, was granted interim name suppression, but later declined permanent name suppression by the New Zealand Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.
He has now made an appeal to the High Court in a bid to keep his name secret.
Dr Y was found guilty of professional misconduct after asking a female patient, referred to as Ms E, to lean over a table while he made inappropriate sexual gestures during a consultation at a medical centre.
Later that day, he came to her workplace, where he undid his trousers and asked her to perform a sex act on him.
He lay down, offered to perform a sex act on her and told her they could have a relationship, Ms E told the tribunal.
While Dr Y denied the incident at the woman's work, he admitted to the tribunal that he made inappropriate sexual gestures while treating her.
Dr Y was fined $25,000 and censured by the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal.
He is also required to have a chaperone when seeing female patients.
His lawyer, Harry Waalkens, told Judge Simon France at Wellington's High Court today that Dr Y was a man who was highly competent and well respected.
"He is very well thought of and this behaviour or conduct is very out of character for him," Mr Waalkens said.
Mr Waalkens explained to Judge France that Dr Y had suffered from depression and anxiety in the past, and was concerned the publicity that came alongside being named may cause negative set backs.
Dr Y's wife's name is also suppressed, and Mr Waalkens argued that by lifting Dr Y's name suppression it would also expose her to risk.
Dr Y was honest with his patients, he said. He could not see female patients without a chaperone, and if patients asked why, he was obliged to explain, Mr Waalkens told the judge.
Lawyer for Director of Proceedings Aaron Martin said the evidence before the court was not sufficient to weigh against the ordinary approach to name suppression, and it was instead a matter of patient safety.
Judge France has reserved his decision.

We learnt how to fill the world
With ideas and possibilities
We worked up through the system
More horrors unfurled
Powerpoints of futilities
I've never missed them.
You might make a friend or two
If you can appease fortune
In this intricate hierarchy
If not, well, pounds and blows against you
Certainly, at around noon
As the bell calls anarchy
So alone inside the mind
As we're quietly suffocated
By the people that surround us
Retreating further in, we find
False ideals become instated
We're poisoned as thus
Yet somehow it fits into place
Survival kicks in
And life jump-starts
But new agonies to face
Safe, the mind would grin
Until meeting these new arts
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Our minds under siege
Graphs and books, they shun
Us into a faster stride
Towards our final liege
Please be over
Why can't it be over?
I would so like it to be over
Bliss shaped like clover
Once we're under cover
And done of this buffer
Tick-tick, pitter-patter
Such frustrating sounds
Oh God can't it stop
My neck wrecked on a platter
My fingers gorged by hounds
My brain a failed crop
How it should feel
To escape from tyranny
To be free as the tides free
Bound by order, they reel
In the setting of a dying spree
Crumbled by apathy
The end is a foolish resort
Encaved in familiarity
Seconds pass without count
My breath does contort
Wailing hilarity
I'm speared upon the mount
We were young fools to wish it over

We were pretty much forced to use their touch screen order thing and we were not very happy about it. We want to deal with a person to place our order not some machine.......
They moved the drive through line very fast, Just had Coffee and breakfast drinks. All were great quality and temperature.
This location is usually very busy as most are around the lunch time hour and our last visit was no exception. Although it was busy, the staff were very friendly and served up our order as fast as they could. There is a bit of a park/green space near this restaurant to sit outside and enjoy your meal, with lots...
Getting in and out of this spot was a nightmare. The restaurant was busy and understaffed to clean up after gross people making a mess and taking off, it was crammed and hard to get around. Wouldn't be back. Subway was close and much easier to get in and out of and cleaner.
Good service, good food but very cold AC! It's a smaller dining room but there is more seating outside.
close to highway, easy access to get a quick meal, nothing fancy but you know what to expect, restaurant was clean and staff curteous
Same as all McDonald Restaurant. What can you say same as all the other but noted FRIENDLY STAFF! good location
This location is well staffed and always busy. Parking for all vehicles including RV, truck or bus. Food is the usual.
They had a hard time hearing me in the drivethru, even though I was shouting, my coffee order was wrong (no biggie, she offered to fix it) and I didn't get salsa with my breakfast burrito :(
Worse then your average mcdonads. On the two occasions we went to this particular mcdonalds they got our orders wrong twice. Service was slow and as many other reviewers have stated the menu was poor.

Thus updated our southeastern fcst area to remove pops and snow for thu night/fri period. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 345 PM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 Water vapor loop indicated a short wave over southeast ND with a jet on the south side or over SD. Visible satellite loop indicated clearing over north central ND. So expect some clearing overnight mainly northern valley. Radar indicated rain and snow over the southern zones mainly south of a line from Kelliher MN to Valley City ND. Precip was moving to the east southeast at 15 to 20 knots. Precip should move out of the area this evening. Precipitable water decreases overnight. Little change to temps for tonight and Thu. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 345 PM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 On Thursday night through Friday, a strong Colorado Low brings heavy snow across the Central Plains. Fortunately, a majority of the operational models agree that this system will bring less than an inch of snow, if any, across the far southern Red River Valley and adjacent portions of west central Minnesota. If any snow showers do develop, gusty north winds will likely reduce visibility in these areas. Additionally, with temperatures falling through Saturday, gusty north winds will bring wind chills as low as the single digits below zero on both Friday and Saturday mornings. Temperatures will bottom out Saturday morning with lows in the single digits to middle teens. Over the weekend, temperatures will be near normal values for February with highs in the 20s to lower 30s. With a few shortwave disturbances passing through aloft, could see some light snow showers or flurries throughout the weekend, but little impact is expected. Looking into the middle of next week, several models indicate strong Colorado Low moving through the Plains. While confidence is low in this system`s track at this time, blended model guidance does indicate better chances of measurable precipitation over the forecast area so will stick with this for now. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening) Issued at 709 PM CST Wed Feb 22 2017 Drier airmass moving south with the north wind tonight into Thursday will lead to a mainly VFR cloud deck in the nrn RRV and NW MN.

Published: September 28, 2013 - 12:02 AM
UNITED NATIONS: The Obama administration leaves the U.N. General Assembly this week with progress on two fronts of the Syrian conflict — a binding deal to seize chemical weapons and revived talk of a peace summit — though both developments come with serious caveats and won't bring an end to hostilities anytime soon.
The U.N. Security Council late Friday approved a U.S.-Russian resolution that mandates the expedited removal of Syrian President Bashar Assad's chemical weapons arsenal but stops short of threatening military action for noncompliance. Separately, Syrian opposition leaders signaled their willingness to participate in Geneva peace talks with officials from the Assad regime, albeit under conditions that might prove difficult to meet.
"There is no question this was a momentous [U.N. General Assembly], given two weeks ago we were at a standstill on our diplomatic efforts around Syria and would not have even thought this was possible," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "Now we are on the verge of passing the first binding resolution on Syria that will set the path for eliminating chemical weapons."
With the backing of the five permanent members of the council, the resolution broke a deadlock that's persisted for more than two years because Russia and the United States support opposite sides of Syria's bloody civil war. Knowing that Russia would block any resolution that triggered military action should its ally Assad fail to comply, U.S. negotiators settled for diluted wording that authorizes unspecified punitive action for violations.
In other words, if Assad is accused of another chemical attack, Russia could still use its veto power to drag out the Security Council's determination of noncompliance, and then could block the harshest measures under the U.N. Charter's Chapter 7. Of course, President Barack Obama already has argued that he doesn't need Security Council approval to carry out military strikes against regime targets, though that threat of unilateral military force is much dimmer now that the U.S. has signed on to the international route.
"The worst-case scenario from the administration's perspective would be if Assad does violate the resolution in some way and then the Russians stonewall at the Security Council. Then the administration is sort of back to square one in terms of what it does," said Peter Spiro, who teaches international law at Temple University in Philadelphia and who testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the NATO intervention in Libya.
Still, that doesn't mean the resolution is insignificant, Spiro and other international law experts said. It would be hard for Russia to argue against findings of noncompliance as wrong or politically motivated because the resolution is written so that any violations would be confirmed first by experts from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the world body that monitors the chemical weapons ban.
Gregory Fox, who teaches international law at Wayne State University in Michigan and has written extensively about the Security Council's role in promoting democracy, said that the lack of an automatic trigger for military action isn't necessarily a failing in the resolution because such automatic triggers are extremely rare. The only case he could think of was Resolution 678 against Iraq in 1990, after Saddam Hussein's forces invaded Kuwait.
Fox said the resolution's use of "must" and "shall" to outline what Syria is to do is consistent with a Chapter 7 resolution. He noted that sanctions as a punitive tool can work, arguing that Iran wouldn't have made the landmark overtures seen this week at the United Nations without the toll sanctions have taken on the Islamic Republic's economy.
Spiro noted one other strong point of the resolution is its passing mention of the need for "accountability" for the use of chemical weapons. That, Spiro said, could be a "really small baby step" to what one day could become a tribunal before the International Criminal Court.

Can Warm Glow Alleviate Credit Market Failures? Evidence from Online Peer-to-Peer Lenders
This paper looks at an institutional innovation in which Western investors lend peer-to-peer to poor country enterprises. Using a unique dataset from an online lending platform called MyC4, we find that MyC4's Western lenders grant lower interest rates to pro-poor, socially responsible (SR), and pro-female African projects, thus internalizing positive externalities. Using novel instrumental variables to account for interest rates' endogeneity, we find that these lower interest rates substantially improve the repayment performance of borrowers, and do not reflect profit-maximizing behavior. This new way to organize finance improves credit market efficiency and the success rate of poorntry enterprises.

If late 20th century cinema bought us anything, it was a new breed of moviemakers who grew up as movie geeks. Prior to the Tarantino era, almost all directors seemed to be from a gilded professional class who went through some mystical course or initiation to receive the keys to a movie set from a big studio, a rite of passage that firmly shut the rest of us out.
Suddenly, along with the likes of Peter Jackson, Edgar Wright and Robert Rodriguez (and any filmmaker worth his or her salt today), moviemakers were the kids who'd grown up transfixed to TV screens and recreated the magic they felt on the floors of suburban bedrooms using their mothers' make-up for fake blood. Even though JJ Abrams' Super 8 was set in a bygone era, it was very much a love letter to a modern movement.
Few geeks-turned-directors have conquered Hollywood as much as Guillermo Del Toro. After his breakout indie it looked like his Hollywood career would stall just as it started with the irascible Mimic, a movie he describes somewhat enigmatically as 'a bad experience'.
Today he has some of the coolest movies around to his name either as producer, director or writer, sometimes more than one. He's been out of the directing saddle for awhile but his name is never far away from the screen in some form. He's set to rocket straight into the billion dollar club if early clips from June 2013's "Pacific Rim" are anything to go by, and at the moment there are a whiplash-including 27 projects in cinema and TV he's attached to in some way.
He talked about creatures, stories and being the busiest man in Hollywood in Los Angeles while promoting "Rise of the Guardians".
How hands-on is an executive producer on an animated movie?
The role of a producer is very simple, it's as hands on as you need to be. If you see somebody in danger of not delivering the movie then you can be really hands on. But if you have somebody you love and trust, you're half bodyguard, half butler. They ring the bell and you're like 'yes master?' You try to work for them.
It's incredibly important that you don't try to direct if you're a producer. That's the difference I learned in a good and a bad way. I've produced 20 movies and after all that time you realise that the best way to produce is the way you want to be produced. You don't do anything you wouldn't be able to face yourself. If they need me to get involved with story, I will. If they need to look more at the design, I get involved with the designers.
Isn't it tempting to take over the design and directing because you're so known for it in your own films?
You put everything you know about design, story, whatever on the table and they take what they want. For example, Peter [Ramsey, director] and I argued about the lights on the globe [a pivotal prop in Santa's workshop/base of operations] in every meeting from beginning to end and we did it his way.
But in other ways, for example when it comes to the story, my impulse would be to tell it through the young boy, Jamie, and that was not Peter's impulse. When you're telling a fable or fairy story, you always talk about your ground floor. That's where the audience climbs into the elevator and raise into the movie. And Peter was very clear about his ground floor being Jack Frost. Jamie was just another area of the world we'll visit. It'll be crucial and we will certainly develop it, but he didn't want the audience to jump in through Jamie. I pitched an entire way of telling the story through Jamie and he said 'we're not doing it like that'.
You've said before you wouldn't have the patience to direct an animated film. How come?
I will direct animation. What I don't have is the patience to animate. When I was young I was great at building armatures because I was great at sculpting the figures, I was good at painting and dressing them up. But the moment I knew I had to change them to produce some sort of gesture I just wanted to go and have a burger. I don't have the temperament. I'm really, really impatient.
How does a filmmaker with such a distinctive creative palette live with not directing for four years?
It's difficult. I was writing and producing and creating a production company but none of that gives you what directing gives you. It's like having a fish out of the water. It survives, but the sooner you put him back in the water the better. For me, the world is a movie set. That's the world I understand and that's the world as it should be.
It's a lot like the old actor's troupes. They travelled from town to town and married and had children, and the children married the children of the other guys in the circus or troupe, and that was their world. And that's a movie set.
On a movie set, everybody goes against the guy not doing his job. If the set has to be ready tomorrow, it is or the entire crew is angry. The world isn't that. Politicians don't do their job and we get angry and they still don't do their job. A movie set is an ideal, it's a benign form of tyranny because everyone ultimately knows that guy [the director] knows what he's doing.
Does that mean you're a tyrant on set?
I'm the nicest tyrant in the world.
Any more pressure or discomfort directing something so big that a studio will be all over it like Pacific Rim rather than something smaller and more personal where you have more freedom like Pan's Labyrinth?
No, it was actually harder to do Pan's Labyrinth than Pacific Rim. Any task as a director, producer, whatever is a marriage of what it should be and the tools you have to make it. They can be people or they can be political, social, economical, whatever.
If those things align themselves then you have a great experience like Pacific Rim. If they don't align themselves, you're going to have a bad experience like Mimic. In Pan's Labyrinth we were trying to do something where at the time I swear most people involved thought 'what a madman'. It was very difficult to do. It was a very tough experience. It was the second hardest movie I have ever done.
Stephen Spielberg told 60 Minutes he was getting less interested in special effects as his career advanced. Can you see yourself getting to a point where the creatures and the fantasy elements don't grab you as much?
I don't think you can define what you can be in the future until it happens to you. Art is an impulse. Narration and telling a story is ultimately when you're sitting by a big fire with a lot of people and if you're not into the story you're telling it shows. So I'm into the thing I'm into.
There are childish concerns and concerns about childhood. Those are totally different meditations. And I believe that you can be telling stories that are not childish but are concerned with childhood all of your life and be as valid a narrator as somebody that embraces a hyper-real approach to storytelling. Some of my favourite writers are fabulists. Oscar Wilde, wrote beautiful fairy tales. Charles Dickens is ultimately the author of both gothic and fairy tales.
How do you fit in in Hollywood where it's all so combative?
Badly. Very badly. I don't think I belong in any one way of making films. I go to the independent area of making cinema and I don't quite fit because generic concerns are things that are normally seen as less valid in the real world. And if I go to Hollywood I find it really hard to fit in the structure of power. I don't feel comfortable. I'm not a power player. I don't wield power and I don't like it being wielded on me. So it's tough, but so is every job.
How does your family cope with all the projects you have on?
I love going home, sitting with my daughters and my wife and telling them exactly how my day went in every sordid detail so they know who is the guy walking in the door. When I was a kid my father would come in and he would be generally tired, and generally in need of rest.
But right now I'm in a critical period of overwork so I sat with my wife and daughters and I said 'you three have to be patient with me. This is why I'm doing it. This is where it ends.' And then it's a shared experience.

Debra Haffner delights in the reactions she gets when strangers ask her what she does for a living.
"I'm a minister and a sexologist," she says.
They blink their eyes and try to reconcile what seems to them to be two opposing forces. Religion in the U.S., after all, seems to have quite a reputation for trying to stifle the joy of sex. So how could she joyfully live in these two worlds of church and sexuality?
"Our sexuality and our spirituality are intimately connected," Haffner told a crowd at the First Unitarian Society in Madison earlier this month. At their best, after all, they share what Haffner called "a common moral vision" -- how to love each other and how to treat each other with respect.
Haffner is a Unitarian Universalist minister who in her previous career was head of SIECUS -- the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. Now she is the director of the Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice and Healing.
As she reminded people at the annual Wartmann Lecture on sexuality, many people in American society carry with them a lot of negative messages from the religions of their childhood -- messages about gender roles, their bodies and the role of sexual pleasure in life. These messages have been amplified by the prominent place of the religious right in the political realm.
Her message is a very different one: "Sexuality is a blessing from God to be celebrated with joy." She strives to encourage religious congregations to help their members celebrate their sexuality while including all: male and female, gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered.
Haffner's personal story helps illuminate her approach to these issues. She grew up in a secular Jewish family with little exposure to the Bible. When she decided to pursue ministry as a career in the mid 1990s and took Scripture classes, she really was reading the Bible for the first time and she was reading it with the eyes of someone whose professional work was all about sex education.
What she found, she said, was a wealth of stories about man and woman being created at the same time and told to go have sex -- "be fruitful and multiply," was the phrase in Genesis. Even in the second creation story in Genesis, where man and woman are created separately, there is a sense that they were there for companionship to one another, for pleasure.
She talked about the erotic poetry in the biblical book of the Song of Songs, the wide variety of loving relationships in the Bible, and her realization that in the New Testament, Jesus was all about welcoming the people who had been marginalized for their sexual activity -- a woman at a dinner who washed his feet with her hair, a woman at a well who had had many lovers, a woman caught in the act of adultery.
"Both the Hebrew and the Christian Bibles have great messages," Haffner noted. "Sexuality is creative, good, our bodies are wonderful things, there are many forms of blessed relationships."
Which is not to say everything goes.
"Our sexuality must be exercised wisely so it is not in service of pain and exploitation," she cautioned. But that has to do with the nature of relationships, not with particular sexual acts. "The sin is never sex," she said, "but sexual exploitation."
So even as Haffner celebrates the joy of sexuality that she believes is a core message of the Bible, she also works against those who would use sex as a weapon. The Religious Institute has a new program called the Congo Sabbath Initiative aimed at the use of rape as a weapon in the wars that are occurring in Congo.
She wants religious settings to do a better job teaching about sexuality and to make sure that they are places where children are safe from sexual exploitation. She wants congregations that have prided themselves on their openness to all people, whatever their sexual orientation, to renew their efforts to make all feel welcome. And she continues to advocate for marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples.
After all, as Haffner put it, "our sexuality in all its stunning diversity is part of God's creation."
But I have an idea, it likely revolves around the unmentioned concept of husband and wife, yes once upon a time wives, and her inclusion of gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered in her revisionist Biblical version of joyous sex. She clearly doesn't recognize, not should she, she's not Jewish though she arrogates herself to speak specifically from the Hebrew Bible, that the sexual impulse, like many things from hunger to jealousy to greed, stem from our weaker (actual evil) impulses as well as the good, and must be controlled. It's not only about what brings short term joy. Ask any gerbil.
My dogs thank her for not including them in her list of "biblically approved" partners, and warn anyone thinking otherwise to stay away, else they'll be missing parts.
Should have added, as far as I'm concerned, she can have joyous sex with anyone or ones she likes, as long as they're of age, pontificating that that's mainstream Jewish or Christian (I'll speak for Christians here, I know what they think of Unitarians) thought is dishonest.
Universalist Unitarian is not Christian IMO
Christians love the joy of sex... within the bounds of marriage
How can she be a minister. Unitarians are not Christians therefore she cannot be a minister.
See post 2, beat you to it!
When will the Catholic & LDS bashing STOP???
Photographic evidence is certainly needed to determine Haffner's expertise.
at the link, though irrelevant.
Like E.G. Marshall in a wig.
Irrelevant? I don't think so. Maybe a little rhino.
If she was ravishing, she'd still be wrong.
The church for people who don't believe in God.
Be careful! You piss off the Unitarian Universalists and they'll come over and burn a question mark on your front lawn!
That's exactly what we as Catholics believe as well.
I think I know where she's coming from. It's certainly not biblical, but after becoming a Christian myself, I met more than just a few professing Christians who act as though they're terrified that someone, somewhere is going to have an orgasm. They aren't the majority, but they're loud enough to appear larger than their real numbers.
But, you could get a second opinion from Bill Clinton . . . .
>> Haffner is a Unitarian Universalist minister
I see. Unitarian.
Then it's SEX (almost rhymes with "secular") with a capital S-E-X.
and religion with a little r. the smaller, the better (shhhh...)
2 Timothy 4:3
"3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."
Yep, that's the Unitarians in a nutshell.
Q: What do you get when you cross a Jehova's Witness with a Unitarian?
A: Someone who knocks on your door for no apparent reason.
Hmmm. Doubtful about that.
Speaking as a "born again" Christian, I will tell you the number one red flag that went up is that women are NOT to assume the positon as a "preacher," "minister" or whatever they want to call themselves.
The next red flag is that she belongs to the Unitarian church. They are NOT a Christian church, no matter what they call themselves. She also said that she is a "Universalist Minister." That means she buys into the NWO/global church.
Last, but certainly not least, is that she accepts homosexuals, bisexuals, transgeners and their perverted sexual acts, which is TOTALLY against what the Bible teaches.
Obviously, this woman has not read the Bible with any kind of understanding because the Bible could not be more clear about sexual relations being ONLY for married couples. Adultery is also forbidden.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
A little off topic, but probably of interest.
buccaneer81:That's exactly what we as Catholics believe as well.
OneVike: From looking at the hundreds of children at my church, the Christians I know have no problem with sex. Now I will not speak of what sounds might be coming from their procreating.
Thank you.
I was concerned I was the only religious person who enjoys sex.
With my wife.
Who is female.
And a human.
Have to add all the disclaimers for this thread.
Who's next!
I bet THEIR potlucks are a lot of fun! I imagine that all the food smells like patchouli oil.
Uhhhhh errrr.....
She can hardly be called a "minister" and be a member of the Unitarian church. Tough enough to call that a Church.
The giveaway...
And moreso these are the people most closely aligned with advancing the sex positive agenda (end ALL moral judgements against ALL sexual pairings. ALL pairings).
She must've not read as far as the 10 Commandments and the prohibition on committing adultery or coveting your neighbor's wife.
I wonder which sex positive organization it was that came up with the term "Sex Negativity" to describe Christianity.
Go forth and SIN NO MORE!
This woman who is "preaching" is deceiving the flock and she knows it.
PS the sex positive agenda groups are against abstinence not because it doesn't work but because they find it to be unhealthy, a denial of sexual desires, and they seek to see everyone sexual active at every age.
Don't know why we need the institution of marriage when we are talking about free love and open marriages.
She may not mention your dogs but the question should be put to her all the same.
Reminds me of this thread from yesterday:
Comics guy sets his sights on scholarly translation of the Bible (Freeware Bible Blog February 2, 2009 Jeff Diamant)
Hey, Debbie, let me ask you about a couple of those women.
Why did the woman wash his feet with her hair? Because she was overjoyed that he had forgiven her sin. In other words, if the sin was sexual (the text doesn't say, does it Deb?) it needed to be forgiven and was a very drastic thing. That wouldn't fit very well with your theory about all sex being good with God, would it?
And what did he say to the woman caught in adultery? He said, "Go and sin no more." BTW, if you're counting Jesus' reaction to this woman as some sort of "sex positive" exercise, wouldn't that be implying that Jesus doesn't mind adultery all that much? And do you really think that the message the church was getting out of this passage for the last 2,000 years (before you came along to enlighten us) was "sex is bad?"
Debbie, did you know that almost every time you see the phrase "sexual immorality" in the New Testament the word in the original Greek text is "porneia?" Porneia is a Greek word meaning "sex outside of marriage." That would be heterosexual marriage, BTW. It doesn't mean "sex that involves pain and exploitation." So, if you are promoting sex outside of marriage as something God approves of heartily, are you on Jesus' side of this issue? Should you tell people that you are teaching what He taught?
I'll say guilty...but definitely better looking than most UU ministers, who generally look like Janeane Garofalo trying to go to a Halloween party as Ben Stein in drag.
Did you hear about the Unitarian who married the Jehovah's Witness?
Their kids spent all their time knocking on doors all over town, but they had no idea why...
Dang, you beat me to it.
Another one over here. In fact, it keeps getting better...practice makes perfect, after all. ;-)
I had an art teacher who lived on her own street she named Sappho Drive in Jacksonville FL who was also aUnitarian Universalist. She was a little wacky.
Obviously they don't understand that the only real sex negativity in Christianity is when your wife has a headache.
Good thing she didn't bring up the Israelite Zimri and the Moabite Cozbi. He got speared for his dalliance with an idolator.

The BBC has released a teaser trailer for its upcoming miniseries, "Death Comes to Pemberley," a murder mystery set in the world of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." Starring Matthew Rhys ("The Americans") and Anna Maxwell Martin, the show will air in the UK in late December and in the US in 2014.
If you like your period pieces mixed with death, this could be the one for you. The story of "Death Comes to Pemberley" is based on the P.D. James novel of the same name and takes place about six years after the events of "Pride and Prejudice."
Darcy (Rhys) and Elizabeth (Martin) are now married and living comfortably at Darcy's Pemberley estate. On the night before their annual ball, however, Elizabeth's sister, Lydia (Jenna Coleman, "Doctor Who"), and her husband, Wickham (Matthew Goode), arrive with a whole lot of trouble. There has been a murder on the edge of the estate, and Wickham quickly becomes the prime suspect.
Obviously, this criminal issue delays the ball.
"Death Comes to Pemberley" will premiere in the UK on BBC One on Dec. 26. PBS will air the series as part of "Masterpiece" at some point in 2014.
