This is my version of the LEGENDARY BIGFOOT, aka sasquatch. This guy has huge feet & a huge heart. I like to think of this mysterious beast as a friendly misunderstood creature rather then a menacing monster; so I named him "HARRY" after one of my favorite childhood movies, "Harry & the Hendersons" .I began writting up the pattern then decided it was getting a little more complicated to describe then I had intisipated. Instead I've provided a brief description of my process for the making of my sasquatch & included a helpful technique that I use for making HARRY amigurumi characters.
*The loop stitch is one of my favorite crochet stitches. It is very fun & easy to do. It's a very effective way of giving your creatures a furry or shaggy look. I left my stitches as loops but you can also cut them depending on the look you want. For any of you avid amigurumi artists out there that want to learn more you can check out this link.

The State Department on Thursday defended controversial comments by Secretary of State John Kerry after he warned Israel that it would be to blame for a "third intifada" and its own "isolation" should a peace deal with the Palestinians fall through.
Kerry has been in the Middle East this week pushing for renewed peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians amid an uptick in terrorism and violence.
In comments that some pro-Israel leaders deemed dangerous, Kerry warned the Israelis that "the alternative to getting back to the talks is the potential of chaos."
"I mean, does Israel want a third intifada?" Kerry asked, referring to past Palestinian uprisings that have killed many Israeli citizens and soldiers.
"If we do not find a way to find peace, there will be an increasing isolation of Israel," the AP quoted Kerry as saying in an interview with Israeli television.
"There will be an increasing campaign of de-legitimization of Israel [that] has been taking place in an international basis," he said, adding that if Israel does not make a deal, "you may wind up with [a Palestinian] leadership that is committed to violence."
Pro-Israel leaders, Middle East experts, and even some observers on Capitol Hill said that Kerry's comments unfairly singled out Israel and only encourage Palestinian violence.
Kerry's remarks are "utterly irresponsible," according to Jonathan Schanzer, a Middle East expert who studies the region for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD).
"It is almost an invitation for the Palestinians to engage in violence if and when talks fail," he said. "It also looks like a way of blaming the Israelis in advance for the security collapse we've been warning about as a result of failed talks."
A State Department official defended Kerry's stance when contacted late Thursday by the Washington Free Beacon.
"The secretary has been clear from the beginning of this process that part of the reason he is so committed to these efforts is because the continued absence of peace has many negative consequences," a State Department official told the Free Beacon after being asked to clarify Kerry's remarks.
"As time passes, the situation on the ground becomes more complicated, mistrust deepens and hardens, and the conflict becomes even harder to resolve," the official said. "It allows for vacuums to be filled by bad actors who want to undermine our efforts."
"And the secretary has also spoken out many times not only about the potential negative impacts of not achieving peace, but the substantial positive impact for all that a peace agreement would provide," according to the official. "That is where we are focused."
However, some pro-Israel leaders and observers on Capitol Hill said that Kerry's warning to Israel is indefensible.
"Putting Israel alone at fault for the stalled negotiations only fuels the dangerous narrative of Israel as the uncompromising aggressor and the Palestinians as the blameless victims," said one senior GOP House aide who works on Middle East issues.
"It's disappointing that Secretary Kerry has capitulated to President Obama's distorted understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," the aide said. "He knows that no country has made greater sacrifices for peace than Israel."
Kerry also "knows that the problem has never been about the creation of a Palestinian state, but instead about the existence of a Jewish state," the source said. "And he knows that if these talks fail, as they have in the past, it's because the Palestinians simply won't accept any solution in which Israel maintains a Jewish identity."
A longtime pro-Israel official who saw Kerry's remarks said that U.S. actions in the Middle East have not benefited Israel.
"The truth is, Israel already stands alone—and John Kerry's appearance in Geneva today will only underscore that reality," said the leader, referring to Kerry's presence at the latest round of nuclear talks with Iran.
Palestinians violence in Israel has been on the rise.
A firebomb thrown by Palestinians at an Israeli car wounded a mother and her daughter on Friday, Haaretz reported.
Kerry's visit to the region took place as Western negotiators geared up for another round of nuclear talks with Iran. Reports suggest that the two sides could be close to a deal, the details of which have not been revealed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Friday that the West is falling for an Iranian ploy.
"I understand that the Iranians are walking around very satisfied in Geneva—as well they should be because they got everything and paid nothing," Netanyahu told reporters, according to Israel Hayom. "Everything they wanted; they wanted relief of sanctions after years of a grueling sanctions regime, they got that. They are paying nothing because they are not reducing in any way their nuclear enrichment capability."
Israel will not be bound to any agreement reached in Geneva, Netanyahu said.
"Israel utterly rejects [the deal] and what I am saying is shared by many in the region, whether or not they express that publicly," he said. "Israel is not obliged by this agreement and Israel will do everything it needs to do to defend itself and the security of its people."

text: Looking Forward Which Way Are the Winds Blowing? By Charles Colson January 03, 2010 Pundits love to make New Year's predictions about politics, the economy, sports, and so on. As for me, I'll take a pass on making any predictions, because only the Lord knows what's in store. But I do want to share with you some things we Christians should keep an eye on in the coming year-things that will give us important indications about which way the cultural, moral, and ethical winds are blowing. We are going to get a very important reading on the future once the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and ultimately the Supreme Court rule on Perry vs. Schwarzenegger. Will the Supremes uphold traditional marriage between one man and one woman, or will they agree with Federal district judge Vaughn Walker, that religious beliefs harm gays and lesbians? That decision, as I've said earlier on BreakPoint, depends on whether you and I sustain a forceful moral debate. The justices won't interfere if we do. [And THAT is why it is so important for us all to circulate the Manhattan Declaration http://www.manhattandeclaration.org/home.aspx to Christian friends and ask them to read, sign, and pass it on. In a country of 300 million, where over a third are in church every Sunday, only 500,000 Christians have read and signed it. AND Chrisitans need to be speaking up in public forums, writing letters to the editor, and to their members of Congress.] Should so-called "gay marriage" become the law of the land in 2011, Christian churches, organizations and businesses will face unimaginable pressure to choose between obeying Caesar and obeying God. Freedom of religion will be in grave peril.... http://www.breakpoint.org/bpcommentaries/entry/13/16116 _______________________ Christians need to wake up and get off their dead butts. It is almost too late. {My comment, not Colson's}

So THIS is what today's legos look like! As I said they were only red or
white when I was a kid - and we didn't even call them legos; they were just
plastic bricks. It's amazing what you can do with them now, plus all the
accessories. Hopefully Santa brought you some more this year. And you have
time to do this when?

Tips and Tools to Prevent Purse Thefts in Restaurants
Thefts of purses at restaurants is an issue that impacts travelers around the world – and is why all travelers should spend a little bit of time educating themselfs how to avoid have their purse or travel bag stolen while dining in restaurants. Having your purse stolen while traveling overseas can devastate your trip and many times will cause a huge inconvenience – especially when you factor in trying to replace your credit cards, passports, and any other important documents and cash that might be inside.
The following are several videos showing how easy it is for thieves to steal purses and travel bags in restaurants which will reinforce the importance of keeping your purse secure and not on the floor, or simply looped over the back of a chair while dining. The theft of purses in restaurants has been an age old problem and is very prevalent in many of the major tourist destinations in Europe as well as other parts of the world. You even see this as an issue here at home – especially in city's and locations that feature high traffic.
Thieves who steal purses in restaurants are very clever, and are usually more successful when they blend into the atmosphere at the restaurant. As you will see in these restaurant theft videos, most always the restaurant thieves will sit down at a table next to the victim and pretend like they are at the restaurant to eat like everyone else. This is a very consistent method these skilled restaurant thieves use, and most always the victims pay little attention to their purses and handbags because they are deeply involved in the dining and socializing process.
To dine with peace of mind traveling, you need to keep in mind that your purse or travel handbag can never be out of your view. You can never leave it on the back of your chair, not can you leave in on the floor by your side. The only was to help protect your purse or travel handbag from theft while dining is by theft features, such as detachable and snatch-proof purse straps and locking zippers. You can see more travel security hand bags with detachable straps, here. With these bags you simply detach one end of the strap and loop it through the back of your chair or other chair attachment point, then attach the strap back onto the bag. Now your bag is snatch-proof and you can enjoy your meal, worry-free.

March 28, 1918 ~ Aug. 13, 2011
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Tuesday, August 16, 2011, at 11 a.m., at the Church of the Assumption for Margaret Achee, 93, who passed away Saturday, August 13, 2011, at 8:50 a.m., at Iberia Medical Center in New Iberia.
Burial will follow in the Franklin Cemetery. Father Lloyd Benoit will officiate the services.
Margaret was the only child of Arthur A. Achee and Lena George Achee. She was born in Jeanerette and moved to Franklin at two years of age. A 1936 graduate of St. John Academy, she entered the work force in 1938 as a stenographer for the Department of Public Welfare. She was a veteran of the United States Air Corps (WAC), having served during World War II and was honorably discharged with the rank of Staff Sergeant. Following the military, she continued her studies at LSU and received her BS Degree in 1949. She came back to Franklin and was employed by Sterling Sugars, Inc. as secretary to the CEO and assistant secretary of the company, where she dedicated 34 years of faithful service, until her retirement in 1983.
She served as president of Unit 63 of the American Legion Auxiliary. Margaret was also a devoted member of the Church of the Assumption Catholic Church in Franklin, where she served as president of the Ladies Altar Society. She was selected as Franklin's "Woman of the Year" in 1959, served as Regent of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court Assumption No. 1672, was selected as "Daughter of the Year'' in 1966, and was chairman of the Church Ministries Committee. She also acted as Church Parish Correspondent for the Diocese of Lafayette newspaper and handled many local church parish news releases for a number of years. In 1966, she received the Bishop's Medal for Devoted Service. She also served her church as a Lay Minister of Holy Communion. In this capacity she served at Mass and brought Holy Communion to a number of shut-ins. She was an active member of her Come Lord Jesus study group. In March of 1991, she was selected as First Commercial Bank's Citizen of the Quarter.
Survivors include numerous cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur A. Achee and Lena George Achee.
A gathering of family and friends will be held Tuesday, August 16 at the Church of the Assumption, from 9 a.m. until Mass time, with the rosary and prayer service being held at 10 a.m.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc. of Franklin.

Reference Date: 04
Early forecast points to small increase in 2016 cereal production
Cereal production in 2015 declined from record of previous year
Import requirements for 2015/16 marketing year (July/June) are forecast below‑average level
Food security concerns for vulnerable groups of population
Lower-than-average precipitation during the winter raised some concerns during the past months for this year's winter wheat crop. However, recent remote sensing data shows that vegetation conditions in most of the country are normal or above average for this stage of the season, indicating that soil moisture reserves have been adequate for vegetative development of crops that have come out of dormancy earlier than normal. FAO's early forecast is set at 7.5 million tonnes, slightly below last year's level.
Latest estimates puts 2015 cereal production at 7.4 million tonnes, down 722 000 tonnes from the previous year's level. Most of the decline was on account of the reduced wheat output, which is estimated at 7 million tonnes. The decrease in wheat production is mainly attributed to lower yields, following unfavourable weather conditions. By contrast, the outputs of the maize, rice and barley crops remained around the previous year's level.
Despite relatively stable cereal production in recent years and a record production in 2014, the country still needs to import wheat (mainly wheat flour) for food consumption as only between 50‑55 percent of the locally‑produced crop is milling quality. Wheat imports in 2015/16 are forecast to remain at a high level of 2.2 million tonnes, accounting for almost 92 percent of total cereal imports, due to sustained strong domestic demand. Kazakhstan is the main supplier of high quality wheat and wheat flour.
As of the beginning of October 2014, the price of a standard loaf of bread, baked from first grade flour, was increased by the Government to UZS 650 (USD 0.27), and since then remained unchanged. However, the devaluation of the national currency and inflation caused an increase in prices of many basic food products. Moreover, the number of labour migrants from Uzbekistan is estimated at around 2 million, which makes many households in Uzbekistan very sensitive to declines in the level of remittances. According to estimates from the Central Bank of Russia, by the end of the third quarter of 2015, the decrease in remittances amounted to 60 percent for Uzbekistan, compared to the same period in 2014. The devaluation of the Rouble, along with the stagnation of the Russian economy, resulted in less employment for migrants with the devaluation halving the earnings for those who were employed.

Would you believe that Bisexuals outnumber Gay and Lesbian people in Spokane? What? But you hardly know any Bisexual people, and you've lived here all your life! And if that's true, why don't we have any Bisexual bars or dance clubs or Bi-owned businesses in town? Wouldn't the LGBT Center and the GLBT Film Festival be "BLGT"? You would have noticed the big crowd of Bisexuals marching in this year's Pride Parade, right?
It's true. According to a prominent study^ by Gary J. Gates at the Williams Institute (UCLA School of Law) the number of self-identified Bisexuals in the United States slightly beats out the combined total of self-identified Gays and Lesbians. It's a safe bet that the same is true for Spokane.
So, where are these alleged Bisexuals? Not to be too cliché, but they are everywhere. Take me, for instance. I volunteer for the Inland Northwest LGBT Center. I run Facebook pages for Bi-Social in Spokane, LGBT Catholics of Spokane, and the Anti-Violence Project of Spokane. I'm an active member of Spokane PFLAG, I frequently walk in the parks with Destinations of Spokane, and I hang out with a local bear group. When I'm participating in LGBTQ community endeavors, my Gay and Lesbian peers often assume that I am Gay. I think this happens with most Bisexual people who are active in LGBTQ communities. Our bisexuality is invisible.
In my day job, in my family life, and in most other areas in my life, I am presumed to be straight. I have a wife and two children, pictures of whom adorn my shelves at work. Even though I have a large banner with a rainbow on it hanging on the back wall of my office, nobody at work ever asks me if I might be Gay or Bisexual. Even while attending an LGBTQ fundraiser with my wife a couple of years ago, a woman sitting next to her husband commented that we were the only two straight couples in attendance. Like many bisexuals, my sexual orientation is assumed based on the gender of my current partner. Again, our bisexuality is invisible.
For some of us, this invisibility is a problem. We want people to know that we are Bisexual and we want to socialize with other Bisexual people. For others, those in the proverbial closet, invisibility helps them to maintain their secret, a secret told only through anonymous surveys.
So, I issue a challenge to those Bisexual people in the community who presumed to be Gay or straight: Come out. You've been counted and just like our Gay, Lesbian and Trans* compatriots, we have strength in numbers. But the numbers mean little if we remain hidden away.

According to Slate, "Words are mere man-given symbols for thoughts and feelings, and they are grossly insufficient to express the thoughts in my mind and the feelings in my heart that I have for you," Hoover wrote to Tolson in 1943. "I hope I will always have you beside me."
This relationship, whatever it may have been in reality, makes me wonder how things might have been different for Hoover and Tolson if a real marriage had been an option for them, if marriage equality had been around so long ago. Would Hoover have been a kinder, gentler man? Would he have been so power hungry? Would the FBI have become what it is? What kind of mate would he have been if the public could know of his relationship?
This is short, but I just wanted to get a thought down to get the words flowing. Maybe I'll pick up LiveJournal again. Look for more from me soon!

A client called today for help with her mortgage. We get a lot of calls for help with mortgages, so it's nothing new. The story that went with the request wasn't all that different from normal either, except that it got me thinking about my own family. The client had some form of cancer. It was stage 3b or something which, according to her, means she's not going to get better, but she's not going to die anytime soon. In the meantime, her family has sold just about all of their worldly possessions and filed a many-hundred-thousand dollar medical bankruptcy. Because of the bankruptcy, her oncologist gave her 30 days to find a new oncologist. The labs won't process tests for her anymore because she can't pay for them. With all of that going on, her highly skilled husband has been out of work for 3 years. Through all of this, she is most worried about losing her home because she doesn't want to uproot her teenage children.
On Superbowl Sunday, my wife fell and broke her wrist. She's been out of work since then until last week. She's the breadwinner in our family, so things have been tight financially. I'm glad to be working seasonally right now. This call this morning got me thinking about what we would do if we were in this client's shoes. I realized that I have no idea what we would do, aside from crying a lot. I suppose this is what insurance is for. My wife has long-term disability coverage that, I think, kicks in after six months. It's time to buy short term disability insurance and AFLAC.
Insurance is ironic. You pay for it and hope that it is a bad investment, that it doesn't ever need to payoff. Nobody wants to get sick, get injured, crash or die just so insurance will pay off, but without insurance, you are pretty much screwed, like my client this morning. For all I know, she had insurance and it ran out. Hmmm. Something else to think about—sufficiency of insurance.

If the court rules for the plaintiffs, this ballgame is about over. Enough signatures would be invalidated to throw the referendum out. If the court rules with the referendum supporters, we'll see this on the November ballot and we'll want to vote to "APPROVE" the expansion of domestic partner rights. Either way, we'll see an appeal, I'm sure, which could be a good thing.
The most important thing for everyone to know about this very confusing process is that if it makes it to the November ballot, we want to "APPROVE" "APPROVE" "APPROVE" the measure, affirming the law passed by the legislature to expand domestic partner rights.

It can certainly tip the scales a bit. Robin Hood took money from the rich to render justice to the poor. Class action attorney's generally seek to level a playing field between relatively poor plaintiffs and corporations who've committed bad acts by seeking restitution and cash awards in addition to injunctions. Convicted thieves and vandals are usually required to pay restitution in an attempt to make victims whole again.
But does that money actually bring justice, or is it just a poor substitute? The Sherriff of Nottingham continued to tax and punish the townspeople. Money doesn't rid class action plaintiffs of their medical conditions necessarily. And victims of thieves and vandals still have the scars of trauma even when full restitution has been made.
So, why aren't there more people proactively working for justice? Money might still be the answer. Typically social justice jobs are few and far between. Finding a social justice gig that actually pays the rent is a feat. Public School teachers (essential members of the social justice crowd) and police officers constantly find their fates up for public vote. Social workers are underpaid and their employment is often governed by the availability of grants. Union organizers are, by design, working with minimal pay in an uphill battle against employer abuses. Money for social justice campaigns is available when it suits the mood of the uber liberal elite.
Then, why do people do it? How do they set aside opportunities for more lucrative livelihoods and work in public education, public safety, union, and social justice environments? Are there really those of us who care more about egalitarianism and fairness than about financial security? Obviously the answer is 'Yes'. The 'How' sometimes seems like sheer luck. The 'Why' is usually connected to a personal story of injustice.
Thank you to the batmen and batwomen out there making the small differences in peoples' lives which will eventually culminate in justice.

I just caught the last moment of an ABC show in which the narrator concluded that more than our successes, it is our failures that define us. God I hope not. Can you imagine if our resumes and biographies primarily highlighted our worst decisions and greatest losses? We'd evaluate our friends, family, and potential employees from the perspective of seeking out the least bad among us. Maybe that is how some people look at the world. I know I would hate to always be judged by my worst characteristics and history.
If we looked at each through that negative light, would we start to lose our sense of shame? If we measured our worst against others' worst, would we feel our bad pasts were negligible by comparison? How would it affect our decision-making processes? Might I choose to rob a bank it wasn't as bad as my neighbor's crimes? Would I choose to fill entire paragraphs with questions just because a classmate over-used ellipses? Maybe. :)
In therapy I'm learning to focus on success. It's amazing how easy it is to overshadow success with failure. A group I work with recently completed a major project. We did it a little more expensively and a lot later than we had hoped. I have a tendancy to view this as a failure, when it really is a success. A mitigated success is a success. Perfection is not required.
I recently applied for a job that would have been interesting. I got the application/resume/letter done the day before it was due and immediately began second-guessing the format and content of my submission. I got a letter last week letting me know that I wouldn't be interviewed. It was a success, though, for me to to complete the application process in a timely manner. I'm somewhat relieved that process is over and I can look forward to other job opportunities.
I was surprised recently to be chosen to be part of an evaluation team. I got my packet in the mail yesterday and diligently completed the independent part of the work and I'm looking forward to meeting with the team to work on the collaborative effort. I'm glad to be part of process that previously seemed somewhat mysterious to me before. It is also providing an education in an area that has been of interest to me for some time. I'm grateful for the opportunity and look forward to success on a number of fronts.
I got my youngest girl to sleep only an hour after bedtime tonight. Success. :)

Simultaneously, I'm watching Coraline so I can decide whether to let my kids watch it. It's nearly over and there is probably only 25% of it I would let my kids watch. They already have enough issues with being occasionally left overnight at Gma and Gpa's house. My three-year-old would never leave my side after watching this movie. Why was this even marketed as a kids' movie?

Then came the budget cuts. We got a letter last month letting us know that, while kindergarten would remain full day, it would only be two days a week and every other Friday. Wow. I thought it was going to be tough to find a part time job to accomodate a school schedule. But it becomes pointless to work part-time to try to pay for child care for two kids. Wah wah!
I can't work an evening shift because Kim often takes call for evening shift and she earns way more money than I would. Plus, I want us to have some together time, so evenings are a no go.
Kim wants me to work to help catch up on the debt, but I don't see that happening. I think I'll have to work on making myself more usefull around the house and finding ways to save money in our budget (mainly by cooking more and eating out less).
I guess I'll be at home (maybe at school) for another year and we'll see what happens when Journey goes to first grade and Adia goes to day care. Just call me Mr. Dad.

Three adults present, aside from myself. I don't always consider myself and adult anyway. Dad, young, on a weekend, needing to shave, with feet bare and hair dark, not like his kids. I caught him humoring his boy who wanted to build a sandcastle lacking any tools--shovel, pail.
Grandmama, white hair robust torso, was thrilled to be with them--or thrilled to swing. Grandpa just held the next swing, pulling it back and pushing it forth, just to keep his weight shifting.
And a teenager (I'd guess sixteen) wandered around the edges of the swing area, waiting for grandpa to fall asleep or grandmama to fall off, waiting for dad to make the boy cry by not paying just the right amount of attention, waiting for a chance to get in on this childhood stuff without anyone knowing.
Josh (the three-year-old boy) wanted to go fast. Repeatedly and repeatedly, Josh wanted to go fast and go faster on the merry-go-round. Dad tried to explain centrifugal force to his little girl, using Josh as a prop.
Our teenager disappeared shortly after grandpa hobbled away after grandmama. A couple wandered over to the steps near the tire swing. He swirled his foot in the sand beneath him while she laughed at something trivial, a leaf or a squirrel.

Pundits on the left, including MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Air America's Richard Greene, have decided to turn the yet-to-be-scheduled event into a fundraiser for a cause of Hannity's choosing--support of military families. Olbermann has offered $1,000.00 per second that Hannity endures. Richard Greene has been collecting pledges from listeners of Air America of $0.01, 0.10, 1.00, 10.00, and 100.00 per second.
If Sean Hannity keeps his word, we'll (at minimum) see thousands of dollars going to a worthy cause. If Hannity bails on his promise to be waterboarded for charity, I have a feeling a lot of those dollars will make it there anyway. If you want to, email your pledge to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The scary part of this story isn't that he had unprotected sex with about 20 guys without disclosure. The truly scary part of this story is that half of his sex partners knew at the time they were having unprotected sex with an HIV+ man. So, about 20 guys were told by Roush that he was HIV+ and decided the risk was worth taking. Roush told KXLY "Nowadays if somebody has HIV they don't care, they don't care about asking."
So, the HIV scare is gone. I'm sure most of the people who Roush had sex with have never knowingly met someone who is HIV and have never known anyone who died from AIDS. Maybe it's just me, but when I was his age, HIV/AIDS scared the hell out of me. I'd seen panels of HIV+ people speak. I'd met people with HIV and with AIDS. I had volunteered with an AIDS service organization. And I'd made casual friendships with people who happened to be HIV+. I worked briefly as a volunteer on an LGBTQ crisis line and the potential call that scared me the most wasn't the suicide attempt, but was the kid who just learned he was HIV+. I couldn't imagine at the time what I could say to help someone in that circumstance.
Is HIV/AIDS not on our lips often enough? Has its image softened now that there are drugs that turn it from a painful death sentence into a chronic manageable disease? Have we failed to scare the crap out of the younger generation? I don't want us to fear the people, just the disease. I thought the AIDS crisis had brought us universal precautions in the areas of blood, drugs, and sex, that we knew to assume everyone had it, and hope no one did. Apparently that prophylactic mindset was generational.
When Roush is all done with his newly found criminal issues, and after he gets some much needed counseling, I hope he takes his story on the road to schools. College, high school, junior high, and even 5th & 6th graders need to know his story. There is no room for naivete where HIV/AIDS is concerned.

Klein Sexual Orientation Grid
I scored an average of 3
I'm so not shocked.
MeaningThis result can also be related to the Kinsey Scale:
0 = exclusively heterosexual
1 = predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homosexual
2 = predominantly heterosexual, but more
than incidentally homosexual
3 = equally heterosexual and homosexual
4 = predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally
5 = predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual
6 = exclusively homosexual
The idea of this excercise is to understand exactly how dynamic a person's sexual orientation can be, as well as how fluid it can be over a person's lifespan. While a person's number of actual homo/heterosexual encounters may be easy to categorize, their actual orientation may be completely different. Simple labels like "homosexual", "heterosexual", and "bisexual" need not be the only three options available to us.

An acquaintance recently came out to his mother as a bisexual man. According to him, she all but disowned him. She didn't really, but that's how he felt.
I thought back to my own coming out experience sixteen years ago. I know going into it I feared the worst--that my family would cut me off. I was prepared to be financially cut off, and even a bit socially ostracized. What I didn't think I could handle was to be emotionally shut out, disowned, abandoned.
I called my aunt, someone I (and everyone in my family) knew to be a lesbian, to ask her advice on coming out. When I asked how my family, and particularly my mother, responded when she came out, she surprised me by asking, "What do you mean 'came out?'" I suppose I got to "out" the family to her.
That call gave me some confidence. I knew that my family loved her and supported her even when she thought wrongly that she was hiding herself.
I called my Mom. I explained that I had dated women and I had dated men. I wasn't comfortable claiming the bisexual label at that point. I waited for a response, but there wasn't much of one. I wasn't expecting what I heard:
"Oh, your dad and I have been talking about this for years." Really? I suppose there were all sorts of possible indicators, but my own process of discovery had only taken months, not years. Not only was I queer, but I was oblivious to my own queerness.
"I've always thought that you just liked *people* regardless of whether they were men or women." Okay. My mom was not only more tuned into me than I was, but she understood the essence of bisexuality, that it wasn't about liking men because they were men and women because they were women—it wasn't about the dichotomy, the binary, the sex.
Fast forward to a few months later. Life was in disarray because I was 19 years old. I'd gone to a military recruiter, taken the ASVAB and essentially signed up to join. I called my dad, a retired veteran, with the good news. Aside from telling me I'd need to get in shape so that basic training didn't kill me, he warned me, ominously, "If they ask, you will need to lie." Being a naïve 19 year old, the thought that my mom might continue having discussions about me with my dad hadn't entered my mind. "If they ask me what?" "You know." "Ohhhh, you talked with mom?"
I didn't join the military, in large part because of a surprise visit my dad made shortly after the phone call with a wonderful heart to heart conversation, and in larger part because I knew I didn't want to join anything on the pretense of a lie.In retrospect, I see that my parents couldn't have responded any other way. That's got to make me luckier than a lot of people out there. My parents acted with love, tolerance, acceptance and sound guidance, the way they always have.

Now, I'm of the opinion, as I said before, that almost everyone is pro-life and anti-abortion. Nobody really thinks abortion is a good idea. I'm guessing that there is not a lot of agreement between Beth and I on the issue of abortion, except that we should work to reduce the number of abortions performed throughout the U.S. and the world. I don't want to put words in her mouth because I haven't actually spoken to her about abortion (or much else, to be fair), but I'd guess she would advocate for greater legal restrictions on access to the abortion procedure. I would not.
Beth and SFCF were denied their right, as a student group or student, to equal access to the display boards. The administration, which really means Heather McKenzie, who rules student government as her own fiefdom, claimed that posting SFCF's display without an opposing view would constitute bias and discrimination. They even put it on SFCF to come up with the opposing view.
Subsequently, Heather McKenzie and the VP of Student Services ambushed the group at their planning meeting to threaten that there would be adverse action if SFCF continued with some form of their display. They handed out Anti-Bias policy pamphlets, focusing on a "Stop the Hate" theme.
With no other real recourse, Beth filed a lawsuit (*.pdf) against the school's trustees, president, vice-president of student services, and Heather McKenzie for violating her and other students' free speech rights.
This is the part where, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" comes in. In looking at the exhibit, I think it conjures a lot of great questions about the relationships between poverty, race, and abortion. I might question the validity of some of the statistics and the bias of some data sources. Even if I didn't find some food for thought in the display, there is no reason in all of fairness for such a display to be denied, especially in an academic environment.
To Beth Sheeran, I say, Go Girl! Except that I think the lawyers from Alliance Defense Fund and the lawyers for ACLU might get in each others' way, I'd advocate for the ACLU's involvement on her behalf. Maybe they'd be willing to file an amicus brief. Hmmmm....
I don't think the administration of the school intended the Anti-Bias policy to be used in this manner. I think Heather McKenzie felt threatened when Beth and the SFCF didn't back down and abused the policy, using it to bash the rights of the students and attempting to intimidate them.
Unfortunately, the obvious and most basic (and correct) response to McKenzie's threats is to point out the controversial exhibits and speakers sponsored by student groups and the student government. This means pointing to sex-positive, LGBT-friendly, and generally progressive events and displays which have not been required by McKenzie to get an opposing viewpoint. What McKenzie doesn't seem to understand is that you can't contain speech based on content. Student events and displays are going to be controversial to draw an audience. It's called free speech--and students have an especially strong right to it, especially when we disagree with the content.

Why should you care? Because we are everywhere. And we don't mind if you know it. As a matter of fact, we are often unrecognized on the front lines and the trenches. Sadly, sometimes we are in the closet, daring not to move outside the boxes of gay and straight. Sometimes, we get put in those boxes in spite of modest efforts to be 'out.' And sometimes we are screaming at the tops of our lungs and are still misinterpreted.
Robin Ochs, for instance, became the first woman in Massachusetts to marry her same sex partner (okay, her spouse shares the distinction). She is the founder of the Bisexuality Resource Center in Boston. She was identified as a lesbian in the media in spite of repeatedly drawing reporters' attention to her bisexuality. By definition, the marriage couldn't be gay or lesbian. Only one of the spouses was a lesbian.
Sometimes, we are placed in those boxes through omission or error. We are easy to overlook as our agendas are similar to yours. But, sometimes, we are squeezed into those boxes for better marketing ('gay' marriage plays better to the Joe and Jane America than 'same-sex' marriage).
"Homosexual" people get cool names like 'gay' and 'lesbian' that leave thoughts of sex on the cutting room floor. Oh, sure, we've tried on omnisexual (really? omni? everything?), pansexual, ambisexual and bi-affectional, but the first three still point primarily to sex (and apparently a good variety of it) and the last makes us sound like we can be really good friends. The 'bi' in bisexual (Hey Microsoft Spellchecker—there is no hyphen in the term "bisexual") still points back to those two boxes, gay and straight, male and female. Unfortunately, we aren't so uncomplicated. Even 'queer', while seemingly ideal, is overly broad.
So, we are stuck with 'bisexual.' Fine. So what do bisexual people do? Well, I wondered that too. So I found some. We got together at Coffee Social (new, organic, eco-friendly, queer/poly-friendly). We drank some great Doma coffee and played dominoes. Apparently bisexual people are easy to please after all.
What I really found was that we were an eclectic group with varied ages and interests. And it wasn't the coffee or the dominoes. It was a vague sense of togetherness. While we didn't talk much about bisexuality, it was amazing and wonderful to be able to look around the group and realize that everyone in the group was like me. One participant wrote to me to say he finally felt comfortable in a public group. While it is great to be one letter in the alphabet soup of our movement for equality and dignity, it is a little breathtaking to be a 'B' in a veritable sea of 'B's.
If you would like to join us, meet at Coffee Social, 113 W Indiana Ave, on Wednesday May 13 and May 27 from 6-8pm. Dress in a smile and loudly ask where the bisexual people are.

Before the concert, the wife and I shared a leg of lamb, a goat cheese mashed potato dish, and a mushroom sauce that were delicious, thanks to the skilled chef at Vin Rouge. We attended the Watershed pre-event party hosted by The Inland NW LGBT Center, Inland Northwest Business Association, Odyssey Youth Center, and OutSpokane. It was a lovely gathering with many familiar faces and some that were new to me. A lovely gentleman named Steve, who previously found and returned my indispensable thumbdrive, and Bridget Potter, Diva of OutSpokane and other ventures, greeted us to check in. Representatives from the four organizations, Cat Carrel, Marvo Reguinden, Sandy Williams, and Christopher Lawrence, respectively, made impassioned pitches for shared donations. It was a very pleasant event. They auctioned a signed Watershed CD for $500 and announced they'd received another $500 from the Pride Foundation.
Once we were seated for the concert, we found ourselves next to another male/female couple. At a point in the conversation, the woman in the couple commented that she thought we and they were the only heterosexual couples at the pre-event party. I was stunned and stupified. It reminded me how invisible an important part of me is in my own community. I know that. technically, heterosexual is an accurate term to describe our relationship as we embody different sexes. But I'm pretty sure her comment was meant to communicate that the people in the relationships are heterosexual. Hmmmm....
I saw a special on k.d. lang once in which she told that she had decided to not reveal her sexual orientation in order to support her stage/character presence. Her act as an artist is to entice everyone in the audience regarless of gender. A revelation of her personal life, could cause some of her audience to become disinterested or put off. She engages each of us of every gender and sexual orientation.
I saw a shirt today online displaying "100% Bisexual." This dispels several myths:
Bisexual people don't exist.
Bisexual people are part gay and part straight.
Bisexual people divide their attention between men and women in a measurable fashion.
Bisexual people are confused and don't understand their true sexual orienation.
In truth,:
We exist.
We are not partially or wholly gay or straight. Bisexuality is a unique and valid sexual orientation.
Bisexuality is complex and not easily described by using ratios and percentages of attraction toward various genders.
We are certain about our sexuality, our social lives, and our attractions. No need for confusion on our part.
I hate to wear labels, but I may wear this shirt, especially to lgbtqa events, in the future. It may alleviate some confusion on the part of onlookers and save me some frustration. It is, after all, a better brand than Wal*mart.

This got me thinking. In addition to water rights, we apparently own rights to "views." My grandparents couldn't build a small porch at their beach house 20 years ago because the neighbors to the South felt it would block a small portion of their view of the sand dunes and wetlands. But in Spokane, we have an anomaly called "Mary's House" that is in the center of the Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center campus. It is owned by a family that opted not to sell their property to Providence oh, so many years ago. It is a large house, but is dwarfed by the main hospital, the Women's Center and the Doctor's building. They apparently weren't able to preserve a right to their view of the city and surrounding mountainous area. Their view is the medical menagerie in all directions. This right to a view is apparently subjective and dependent on local building codes and neighborly whim.
But what if the owners of "Mary's House" had solar panels on its roof way back before the hospital engulfed it? Could the family have blocked Providence from its ambitions based on a right to solar rays. Obviously, if Providence effectively shut off the sun on "Mary's House" for a good portion of the day, the homeowners would suffer a financial loss because of the lost energy capture. Maybe a suitable remedy would be to force Providence to place the homeowners solar panels atop the medical center roofs.
If a neighbor's tree grows to shadow my solar panels, can I have it topped. If a neighbors new bedroom addition catches the rays "meant" for me, will he have to pay me every month to offset my loss? If my neighbor's addition makes me want to elevate my solar panels, is that enough to earn an exception to building codes? And what if my local power company figures out how to charge me for my solar panel use instead of buying the energy from me. It's not far fetched considering they can charge me $5.00 per month for a gas line I don't have, just in case I opt for natural gas someday.
When corporate satellites someday collect and transmit energy to the Earth in satellites so massive in number or size that they blot out the sun, will we have any recourse? When a thief steals jewelry from my home, I might have cause to shoot the intruder. But what can I do when someone steals my sunshine away?

Senator Mark Schoesler
Mr. Joe Reilly
5688 (For)
Dear Senator Schoesler,
SB 5688 is a bill to compromise with those who believe that marriage should be reserved for different-sex couples. The bill offers marital-equivalent benefits to those committed couple who are denied the right to marry by our state DOMA law in a complex and confusing way, while denying them a simple legal marriage license endowed with hundreds of years of common law rights and responsibilities. You voted against this bill even though it threatens no marriages. In case you aren't aware, those affected live right here in the 9th LD. On the plus side, when 50-60% of these couples break up, the lawyers will make a lot more money dissecting the domestic partner laws than if it were a marriage dissolution. That'll stimulate the economy.
If you think there is a culture war, you are woefully misinformed. There are simply people trying to live their lives who refuse to accept 2nd-class citizenship anymore. I hope you will change your mind and offer a public endorsement of this bill.
Your constituent,
Joe Reilly

Last night I dreamed I was attending a college English class. At the end of class a man entered the room and told us that anyone who was married didn't need to pay attention and announced that all unmarried students were invited to the auditorium where the current President, George W. Bush would be speaking. Somehow I figured out that the President would be encouraging students to consider getting married. I don't think I figured out how this was part of a dastardly right-wing scheme, I just assumed it was.
So I ran around to my fellow single and married coeds basically begging them to help me protest this government intrusion into our private lives. I tried to convince them that the government, and especially the President, had no business trying to convince people they should get married.
Nobody listened. Now I think about the government-funded "Marriage is Healthy" campaign. These are the billboards and classes put out by abstinence-champion Teen-Aid (headquartered right here in lovely Spokane). I love the billboards. I think they are an excellent marriage equality campaign. We just need to swap out the pictures with same-sex couples.
In other news, my three-year old daughter just announced, "I cooked my wedgie."

"How does my same-sex marriage hurt your marriage?"
Glenn Stanton, Focus on the Family's Director of Social Research and Cultural Affairs (I love that job title!) gave it a whirl and what he came up with is that while he doesn't have a problem with individual same-sex couples marrying, he worries that blanketly allowing same-sex marriage will cause his children to think they aren't a necessary component of marriage. If his daughters see gay and bisexual men married to each other, they won't see the importance of a woman in a marriage and if his sons see lesbian and bisexual women married to each other, they won't feel they are needed in a marriage.
In reality, what he fears is that if his children see men married and women married, they might think being gay or bisexual is alright. If his children see that being gay or bisexual is okay, they may want wait twenty years in fear and self-loathing to come out. They might come out as kids or teenagers and embarrass him into leaving his job as a hatemonger.
And don't get me started about gender. He claims same-sex marriage will dilute the importance of gender in his children's eyes. Oh, the horror. They might not learn that female is only a function of and corollary to male. They might figure out that in the creation story, Adam and Eve were equally duped and equally punished by their God. They might realize that when man wrote "man" in the bible, God meant him to write "people." They might note that it was people their father who ensured that the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution was doomed. And if gender is so important, why do they claim otherwise when it comes to the rights and dignity of transgender people?

Kolene's original headquarters in 1939.
Kolene Corporation, founded in downtown Detroit in 1939 by John Shoemaker, celebrates its 75th anniversary in March 2014.
Built on a strong foundation of solving difficult manufacturing cleaning challenges, Kolene has a diverse portfolio of process technologies. The combination of chemistry, equipment, and service allows Kolene to supply turn-key metal cleaning systems to a wide variety of manufacturers. Industries served by Kolene – both domestic and international – include specialty steel mills, aerospace, defense, transportation, foundries, and general manufacturing.
Founded in downtown Detroit in 1939 by Shoemaker, Kolene was originally involved with novel chemical formulations for dry cleaning solvents. In the early 1940s, they started to develop what would become their main niche or specialty: molten salt baths for metal cleaning. Their first molten salt products were developed to clean iron castings of sand, scale, and even exposed graphite. This allowed them to be coated with lead or tin, greatly improving their corrosion resistance. As World War II escalated, a tin embargo threatened production of critical wartime components such as ship's bearings. At the request of the United States Navy, Kolene adapted their technologies to prepare bearings for babbitting without the use of tin. These basic technologies are still in use today for preparing iron castings.
Today, Kolene remains family-owned and is led by CEO and Chairman Roger Shoemaker, grandson of the founder. Roger is joined on the Board of Directors by his brother Richard. Other family members include Roger's sons, Peter and Tim, who are also active in the company.
Kolene, still located in Detroit, continues to prosper by providing unique processes backed by dedicated people, long-term customer partnering, and service.
Below is a partial list of some of their widely used applications:

We propose and analyze a short-length silicon-on-insulator polarization splitter using two horizontally slotted silicon waveguides. A polarization splitter with a length and a 22 dB extinction ratio (ER) is achieved. Around 1550 nm, it also exhibits an 18 nm bandwidth for . The effects of the slot thickness, the waveguide spacing, and the refractive index of the slot on the splitting length and ER are investigated.
