I want to start a lesbian mothers group in North London...any takers???(64 Posts)
I'm a lesbian single mother who would love to meet other gay mums as i thinjk this will be good for me and my kids...i'm friends with three other gay mums-but they live in south london so its hard getting together. If anyone's interested let me know...
Hi, I am a lesbian mum, I now have 2 little girls. I live with my wife and we live in North London. I have just had our second child a month ago. Nearly all my friends with kids are not gay and would love to get to know other gay parents. Would like to hear back from you. How many kids to you have? How old are they?
I'm a single lesbian Mum, my son will be 6 months old next week, gosh, the time seems to have flown by! All the Mums I know are straight, and lovely, but it would be great to know some gay mums in the area. I'm near Queens Park, but have a car so can travel!
Hi, my partner and I have just had a baby boy (now 11 weeks and counting). She's at home with him now but would both love to get to know some other gay mums! We live in North London (Hornsey/Wood Green)but have a car so can travel. Let us know if you're meeting up
Hey. We have a 7 month old baby girl and would be love to meet up with other local gay mums
would love to chat online or maybe meet up in the future with any other lesbian mums. im also a young mum so double the taboo. finding it impossible to meet like minded people i have anything in common with email@example.com, hope to hear from you soon x
Message deleted by Mumsnet.
Hi there, there's a lesbian/gay parenting group that meets in East London (nr Stepney Green) on the 1st Sunday of the month, it's open to families living across London and have many parents who travel in from North East/North London.
We are having a xmas party on the 5th of December and we are always welcoming new families! Please let me know if you want the details ....
Belatedly adding to the rollcall for north west London. We are two mums and one nearly-five daughter, and would love to meet other families who don't have one mum, one dad...
My name is Charlotte and I am currently doing my Masters in Social and Cultural Anthropology at University College London. The topic of my dissertation is looking motherhood, at how it is perceived and conceptualized by lesbians. I am also interested in what the perceptions and images of the family their structure and organisation are.
Lesbian motherhood has been very rarely discussed within British academic literature and is therefore very underrepresented in the study and discussion of motherhood. I would like to change that by giving lesbian mothers the chance to voice their views, experiences, and opinions on what it means and entails to be a mother. This study will be a chance to bring about new definitions and views on motherhood.
For this project I am looking for mothers who are happy to participate in a couple of interviews about 1 hr in length and some focus groups also about 1 hr in length. It would also be of great value to me if I could come and simply observe during the meetings. All information and personal details will be kept confidential.
Please let me know if you are happy for me to attend the group meetings and/or if you know couples who are willing to be part of this study. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me either via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or phone (07513051425) or contact my supervisor Dr. Jennifer Randall (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Hi all
I am a lesbian mom in west london living with my partner and our 3 month old daughter. I am currently home with our daughter and would love to meet other lesbian moms.
Hi there, we are a lesbian family living in Harrow. We have two girls ages 2 and 6. We have been to one of the gay parents groups which was really great but on the other side of London. We would like to meet up closer to home.
Hi -- My wife and I are moving to Enfield from Los Angeles in February or March and would love to meet new mom friends. We are expecting our first next month so he will be 3-4 months old when we arrive in London. I am happy to help organize a regular meetup if someone wants to take on the project.
Hi All,
I'm a lesbian mum-to-be (first baby due in July) - my partner and I are moving to Ealing in West London soon and would love to meet any other local same sex families.
We're moving across town from SE London, which had a pretty active lesbian mums network going....and typically, when we actually needed it, we decide to move west - go figure!
anyway, would love to hear from any people nearby.
Me! I'm definitely in, My email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Me and my girl are expecting our first baby in April/May. We live in Islington xx
If anyone fancies st albans we have a Gay parents group meets 3-6 every 2nd sunday of the month in st albans, for more info contact me or join our yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/stalbansgayparents
Theres also a show tonight on gay parenting on local radio
Hi there, I see this post is from a few months ago now, but we're in North London and are trying to forge friendships with other same sex couples. We have a nearly 3 year old son and want him to see other families similar to his. Sophie
Hi there, my partner and I are expecting our first baby at the end of November. Are there are ante-natal classes or support groups in north London specifically for lesbian mothers? It gets a bit discouraging to continuously read comments directed at the 'husband' on pregnancy sites.
We would love to meet other lesbian mothers in our area to exchange experiences.
Thanks x
Hi, there are a few of us trimg to arrange a meet up
In 5th August. Think It willBe in the Barnet area. Looking at a picnic in a park.
If you fancy joining us drop me a line.
Pigket x
My partner and I are expecting our first little one in December and we live just outside West London. Neither of us particularly want to go to our NHS ante-natal classes, however I can't see any alternatives for lesbian/gay parents. Would be great to meet up with other lesbian mums, as none of our gay friends have kids, and we want to ensure that once the little one is here & asking questions, that they don't feel completely different to the other kids around them.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi sjidla,
We did the NCT classes and found them really useful.
It's a shame there is nothing out there for gay patents but found the NCT very inclusive and informative.
Infact the lady running the course was in a lesbian relationship when she had her first child.
Don't know if you saw that we are trying to arrange a meet up in Barnet on the 5th? Maybe come along. There will be atleast 3 couples who have children there so it might be good meet a few of us 'after baby'
Hi Piglet72,
Thanks for the response. I'm just looking into the NCT classes now, and they seem like a more favourable prospect than the NHS ones.
5th August sounds good (as long as it can stop raining for longer than an hour at a time!).
Do you know if any other mummies-to-be are coming along?
Not sure who is coming, I know a few mums will be there and one couple have a newborn. Will let you know.
We're in North Finchley and would love to meet up with other lesbian families. Our little girl is almost 5 months now and we're expecting another in October. Already have plans for 5th August but please let us know if another one is being arranged.

Saturday's Orange Bowl Basketball Classic game between Florida State and No. 22 Massachusetts was a game of inches — 87 of them as a matter of fact.
That's the height of FSU's starting center, 7-3 Boris Bojanovski, who had a career-high seven blocks in just 16 minutes to lead the Seminoles to a 60-55 victory over UMass in front of an announced crowd of 11,214 at BB&T Center.
Bojanovski blocked two shots and altered another in the final 90 seconds, and those plays proved crucial to knocking UMass (10-1) from the ranks of the unbeaten.
FSU (8-3), which played Bojanovski and 7-1 Michael Ojo for a combined 35 minutes, had 12 blocks total.
"They were big and long and did a nice job of guarding the paint," UMass coach Derek Kellogg said. "One of our rules was to not let them block more than two or three shots. With 12, you can probably pinpoint that as the difference in the game."
Kellogg added that he thought his team needed to shoot three-pointers well to negate FSU's height.
UMass struggled from long range, making 1 of 15 three-point attempts. To be fair, neither team shot well at BB&T Center, which is normally used by the Panthers of the NHL. Both teams shot less than 37 percent.
FSU guard Aaron Thomas, coming off a career-high, 26-point game Tuesday against Charlotte, led all scorers with 18 points. But he did most of his damage at the foul line, where he went 8 of 8, including two free throws with three seconds left to ice the game.
"We were not really happy with the rims," Thomas said. "They were not break-away rims. You were not able to get those shooters' rolls. It was either miss or make it, so we had to go to the basket and get to the foul line."
FSU did a solid job defending UMass point guard Chaz Williams, a quick 5-9 senior who came in averaging 16.3 points and 7.9 assists, ranking third in the nation in the latter category. The Seminoles held him to 10 points on 4-of-14 shooting and just two assists.
Cady Lalanne, UMass' 6-10 center who gave up five inches in his matchup against Bojanovsky, had 10 points and a career-high 15 rebounds.
But it was Lalanne, of Orlando, who twice had his shots swallowed up or altered by Bojanovsky in the final seconds.
Williams' layup with 1:56 left gave UMass its final lead of the game at 55-54. The Minutemen had a chance to extend the lead with 1:20 remaining, but Bojanovsky blocked a Lalanne layup.
FSU point guard Ian Miller, who finished with just four points on 1-of-10 shooting, made two free throws with 1:06 left to put the Seminoles up for good.
Bojanovsky then blocked a Williams layup attempt with 46 seconds left and caused Lalanne to miss a dunk try — the ball went in, but the UMass center was whistled for hanging on the rim.
"I was about to be mad if that [was called good]," Bojanovsky said.
As it turned out, there was no reason for the Seminoles to be angry.
FSU knocked off a ranked team that was off to the fourth-best start in the 105-year history of Minutemen basketball.
FSU now returns home for a Dec. 30 game against Charleston Southern and its ACC opener against Virginia on Jan. 4.
• For the second time this season, FSU wore turquoise uniforms instead of its normal garnet and gold.
"The Seminole Tribe of Florida approached us about this program, and we are honored to wear these unique uniforms," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said on his school's website. "The color is significant because it is deeply symbolic of friendship and community in the Native American culture."

When you hear the words Nitzer Ebb what do you think? To me they sum up pioneers of the industrial EBM sound that has rocked the alternative world for a long time. They are a band whose music you associate with dark and devious beats. To me they are like The Sisters Of Mercy but of the EBM genre, they helped create and define some of the music we love today. Nitzer Ebb are still producing and defining EBM so it was with great pleasure to Grave Concerns Ezine when we got to speak to Douglas J. McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb and ask him about Nitzer Ebb and also his new solo album Kill Your Friends.
Phill – Hi Douglas thank you so much for giving Grave Concerns Ezine this interview. You came from German techno scene but you are from Essex in the UK. Were you more popular in Germany in the early days?
Douglas – Hi Phil, Yes we were. We had been greatly influenced by the music coming out of Germany – Abwärts, Malaria, DAF etc – so I think it was pretty natural for Germans to hear something they liked in our music.
Phill – What is your fondest memory of when Nitzer Ebb first started?
Douglas – Wow, there a lot. I guess having our first record, 'Isn't It Funny How Your Body Works', actually in my hands and then on my turntable.
Phill – I hear quite a lot when interviewing bands that they hold you as an inspiration for their music, so what bands inspired you to form Nitzer Ebb?
Douglas – Like most bands, a combination of ideas, styles and genre all swirled into the mixing pot from our youngest days of Glam Rock and disco to punk and European electronic music, also in there was a fondness for DADA-ism, the German Photomontage artist John Heartfield, books by George Orwell, Milan Kundera and others, a slew of films, of course, Cronenburg, Peter Greenaway, David Lynch and many more.
Phill – So how did Nitzer Ebb get together and what was the reason behind the band's name?
Douglas – We were at High School together. Myself, Bon Harris and David Gooday were, with a couple of other friends, skateboarding, going to see bands play live and listening to music, being teenagers basically. The name was just letters and words cut up in a hat and randomly pulled out pulled out á la William S. Borroughs.
Phill – You are true pioneers of the EBM and industrial scene, what do you feel is the key for you keeping going as you have while other bands of that era have unfortunately faded?
Douglas – We always have prided ourselves on not resting on our laurels. Partly through a low boredom fresh hold and partly out of wanting to push against any boundaries that others might attempt to place around us. It is certainly something that I still live by.
Phill – Your new solo album Kill Your Friends has just been released, it was written whilst travelling the world at what was a hard time for you really. How much of the hard time is reflected in Kill Your Friends?
Douglas – It is there alright. I used the process as a cathartic exploration of how I was feeling for sure, although I wanted the lyrics to be highly evocative, I didn't want them to be so straight forward that it's immediately clear what is exactly being said, even by myself. I like that there's room for interpretation.
Phill – I must say having heard Kill Your Friends it's an astonishing album indeed, what makes you most proud about Kill Your Friends?
Douglas – Finishing it! No, I am extremely proud that I pursued the process the way I wanted to do it. The responsibility of sticking to your guns can weigh quite heavily at times but, with my producer Mark Bell, we managed to get there in the end.
Phill – To me Kill Your Friends clearly reflects your amazing career so far, some songs have elements of the great heyday of the electronic scene. But yet you have managed to harness that great sound, update it and given it your own musical signature. What do you feel is your musical signature?
Douglas – Thank you. Obviously my voice and vocal/lyrical approach are a big part of it, but also not just relying on one aspect of a song to carry it – a great sound with no song or vice versa sound weak to me, there has to be a balance in the work.
Phill – I must admit you have songs on there like Move On which are DJs dreams, guaranteed to fill the dance floor. What do you imagine fans of your music to look like?
Douglas – Well, one of the things that Nitzer Ebb taught me was to never 2nd guess your fans. The best you can do is to make the music you want to make and hope there is an audience willing to come with you on that journey.
Phill – Why did you decide to call your solo album Kill Your Friends?
Douglas – Ha ha! This got a lot of negative feed back recently when the album was posted by Depeche Mode. Basically it is a play on the old adage "keep your friends close and your enemies closer". My wife and I were talking about some people we know who have a very challenging view on friendship, so we coined our version "love your enemies, kill your friends" which was shortened to just KILL YOUR FRIENDS.
Phill – If you were to sum Kill Your Friends up in a few words, how would you personally describe it? I ask this as I am set a back by it, it's an amazing album with so many feelings in there but the root of the album is just clearly you.
Douglas – It is a very personal response to what has been happening in my life the past few years delivered using the musical styles I have enjoyed since being a teenager and starting to make music.
Phill – Wolfgang Flur has said that he is a fan of your music with Nitzer Ebb, how does it feel to have such an iconic musician being a fan of your music?
Douglas – Absolute honour! Wolfgang hadn't seen Depeche Mode before he came to one of the last 2 shows of the Tour of The Universe. He watched a bit of the show then came back stage and said "yes, they are quite good". I took great delight in telling Martin. Haha!
Phill – Are there any bands or musicians of today's music that you consider an influence now and if so what is it about them that influence you?
Douglas – Yes, of course, but I have to say that new artists are few and far between. There's a London based artist called Powell that is very good and put me in mind of a sort of rock-a-billy Flowers of Romance era PiL. Always exciting to hear a new Depeche Mode album too!
Phill – So what's currently happening with Nitzer Ebb, any show's planned or any new material in the pipeline?
Douglas – No NE shows planned. I am starting to play a few solo shows commencing next month.
Phill – What music is currently in your cd player or playing lots on your MP3 player?
Douglas – Actually I am listening to Kill Your Friends a lot because I am rehearsing it. Other than that it's the usual suspects depending on my mood…. Brian Eno, a mix of songs made by my good friend Richard Clouston from his COSEY CLUB, a fair bit of Lou Reed, Caberet Voltaire…
Phill – Thank you so much for giving Grave Concerns this interview, is there anything you would like to add?
Douglas – Pleasure!
Take a Listen to Douglas J. McCarthy- "Move On" from the latest album Kill Your Friends.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
The Trump campaign's latest strategy to smear former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's seems to be going swimmingly: Bring up Whitewater, and watch the fur fly. What's fascinating about it, though, is how spectacularly and almost unusually adroit it is — it seems that the Trump campaign may have picked up a few political operators who actually know what they're doing.
Here's what happened, for those who missed it: Marc Caputo, a reporter for Politico, was accidentally CC'd on an email discussing the Trump campaign's request for opposition research on Whitewater. Politico, of course, gleefully broke it, because who wouldn't.
And in my opinion, that's actually exactly what the Trump campaign wanted. This wasn't a bizarre email mistake, but a deliberate and carefully executed leak that had precisely the desired effect, because now everyone is talking about Whitewater, but Trump himself is staying above the fray. It's a brilliant backdoor way to talk about Crooked Hillary without actually engaging directly.
On the surface, the email suggests that the Trump campaign is thinking about dredging up Whitewater as part of its ongoing quest to portray Secretary Clinton as unreliable, dangerous, and corrupt. It's a little odd that the campaign wouldn't have done this research more in advance, but maybe they were a little busy with things like figuring out how to ban all Muslims and sneaking the candidate out of rallies via highway medians to avoid protestors, okay?
So, the theory goes that Trump could trot out Whitewater, hammer home some rhetoric about Secretary Clinton being The Worst, and then profit. Which would seem like a reasonable theory, except that the nature of this "accident" suggests that something else is going on.
Ostensibly, this happened because the email in question went to Marc Caputo (Politico) instead of Michael Caputo (Trump campaign, no relation). However, it's really difficult to ascertain how this would have happened. Michael Caputo was already on the email chain, so Hope Hicks wouldn't have needed to add him back in to her reply.
What seems much more likely is that Ms. Hicks, a spokeswoman for the campaign, made a calculated move to "leak" the emails to Politico, for one simple reason: She knew the news organization would publish them, and she knew that it would create a furor of discussion... all without the candidate himself having to lift a finger.
Yes, people are making fun of the Trump campaign for this monumental cockup, but they're also talking about Whitewater. Which means that a political scandal most people have completely forgotten about and have no interest in is suddenly center stage in the news, on the very same day that Secretary Clinton's email scandal was once again trending, thanks to a new State Department report.
The timing was absolutely ideal — pick a day when people are already feeling hostile about the email thing, and add on a little sprinkling of Whitewater to really get things hopping.
In the course of discussing this particular "gaffe," every news organization that's covered it has first had to explain what Whitewater was, because most people have forgotten. And it's a hot, tangled, steamy mess that doesn't make the Clintons look good, even though Secretary Clinton was completely exonerated of any wrongdoing.
Right, Whitewater... so what was that again? Oh, yeah, the time the Clintons were ensnarled in a series of investigations accusing them of involvement in fraud, misuse of funds, a failed real estate venture, and a whole host of other things, including the discovery of material leading to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Whitewater reads a lot like the Clinton's worst hits. It's not pretty, and to this day, there are definitely conspiracy theorists who are firmly convinced that the Clintons escaped accountability by virtue of their high public profiles and political clout.
Most of the rest of us can't be bothered to give a faff about Whitewater because it's old history. Really old history; and in fact, a Republican strategist says that the party once explored using Whitewater as opposition material against Secretary Clinton, only to find that it went over like a lead balloon. The moderate Democrats, Republicans, and independent voters that would theoretically be the target demographic here didn't really care.
But that was in 2000, and 2016 is a very different time, for a number of reasons. Secretary Clinton has already been through one failed presidential campaign, and she's been dogged at every step in this one by rampant misogyny — some of which has included the adroit use of everything even vaguely scandalous in her past to make her seem like satan incarnate. With both a right and a left already revved up to hate Secretary Clinton, something like this can be a real scale-tipper, in part because it didn't originate from Trump himself.
Trump's campaign is adding to the sliver of doubt that's starting to build among some voters, including the Bernie Bros who appear to be setting up for a swing to the hard right. Some voters just hate Secretary Clinton so much that they don't really care who gets elected, so long as it's not her, even if they might feel a few qualms about Trump. It's those voters that the campaign has reached with this absolutely brilliant ploy, and creating a bit of a firewall between the candidate and the story has given it legs — people used to tuning Trump's bombastic rhetoric out get a lot more interested when something isn't coming directly out of the horse's mouth.
Maybe I'm wrong, and this was just an honest mistake. If that's the case, It's the most fortuitous mistake the Trump campaign's made yet.

An explosion at a coal mine in central China has killed 47 miners and injured at least six others. The official Xinhua news agency says the blast occurred early Monday near Pingdingshan city in central Henan province.
Seventy-five workers were in the mine when explosives went off at the powder magazine of the Xingdong Number Two Mine at about 1:40 a.m., according to the report. The Pingdingshan municipal government said 28 miners escaped.
Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao urged rescuers to exhaust every effort to rescue trapped workers. They ordered authorities to take measures to prevent a secondary accident and called for an immediate investigation to determine the cause of the explosion.
Xinhua news agency reported that police have detained the owner of the mine, Liu Jianguo, and frozen the mine's bank account. The news agency says the privately owned mine was operating with a suspended license.
China has the world's worst mine safety record, with more than 2,600 coal miners killed last year in accidents and explosions.
Last year, Pingdingshan authorities ordered all 157 shafts within its district to close, after dozens of miners were killed in a pit explosion.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.

Insightful. Witty. Energetic. A good listener.
However you might describe him, Hartford Symphony Orchestra conductor Edward Cumming has become iconic in Hartford. After nine seasons, he is leaving his post as HSO music director, conducting his farewell concert on Saturday, June 4.
Cumming is known for his spontaneous, engaging style of presentation, counter to the icy formality that is often unfairly associated with classical music.
In September 2007, he was conducting Beethoven's first symphony at St. Joseph College in West Hartford. After the third movement, Cumming was poised to begin the fourth. Then he put his hands down, turned around to the audience and...

Time for a change in Wisconsin
Why politicians are held in low esteem
Being old enough to remember effective and respected public servants such as Gaylord Nelson, William Proxmire and Warren and Robert Knowles, it is disenchanting to see how far we have fallen in our public discourse, in the partisan conduct of so many office holders, and in the low esteem in which we hold most of them.
Our present state senator and assemblyman have acted in lockstep with the governor and moneyed interests in pushing through the Legislature so many extreme laws, often in the middle of the night, and often with no input from the general public. This is not the way government is supposed to work or has always worked. It needs to stop.
Our present state senator and assemblyman approved the redistricting that ensures their reelection forever. This is an insult to what democracy we have left. Then they complain about career politicians while giving themselves pay raises.
They and their party like to talk of election fraud, but the biggest fraud of all may be their attempt to justify the need for voter ID by insisting that there is widespread voter fraud when there is virtually no evidence to support that charge. The real reason is partisan electoral advantage, just as in the case of redistricting.
They and their party are constantly whining about over-regulation of business and seem little interested in protecting our ground water or the air we breathe. The DNR has been effectively neutered along with so many other state agencies that have in the past been charged with looking out for the interests of the public.
They and their party tried to kill the open records law to keep us all in the dark. They will try again.
They and their party do not believe in government and, it seems, party members try to make government work as poorly as possible to prove themselves right. They often deny science and think it is OK to substitute opinions for facts. They insist climate change is a hoax and refuse to believe scientific evidence. One wonders what hopes they have for their grandchildren.
They and their party claim to be job creators when sucking up to business interests for campaign donations with tax breaks of all sorts but refuse to see the much better progress Minnesota has made in job creation and in so many other areas.
They claim to be the party of local control, but have transferred local rights and powers to the state, often to the detriment of the quality of our environment and our health.
They and their party have no plans for fair wages for all, a sensible energy policy or rebuilding our infrastructure, but keep pushing the trickle down economic theory of tax breaks for the rich and stagnation for the rest of us.
There are candidates on the ballot this November who know that the common good must be put above special interests, who will fight to keep government honest and open to the people, who know that it is a strong and free public educational system that has made America great, who believe in science, who know that this is the only planet we have and it must be respected, who know that the wise updating of infrastructure and energy systems will both keep us strong and create jobs, who have a vision for the future.
Dmitri Martin has sent a powerful signal of the man he is by returning all campaign contributions from lobbyists in his Assembly race. Brian Smith will also bring the values named above to the state senate. Tom Nelson, whose reputation as a proven leader who keeps the peoples' interests foremost in mind, is urgently needed in Congress. Russ Feingold has proven to be a true public servant; he is intelligent, open-minded, independent, courageous, listens to all and works across the aisle to get things done.

PASADENA --The city of Pasadena is considering a proposed smoking ban.The ban would prohibit smoking within 20 feet of business entrances, at outdoor dining areas, outdoor malls, in line at movie theaters, ATMs, bus stops and at public events, including the Rose Parade.
"An individual who does smoke is generally smoking filtered cigarette and the recipient of second hand smoke is receiving the unfiltered tobacco smoke which basically contains about 250 toxic contaminants," said Paul Ramirez, a proponent of the smoking ban.
A cigar shop owner fears the ban would close his business, even though clients could smoke in his shop.
"We also have 75 percent of our clients that come in they purchase their cigars here and they go to and other restaurants," said Anto Kamarian, owner of Cigars By Chivas.
Pasadena will study the economic impact of a smoking ban and present the findings and hear from the public at next month's City Council meeting.

A Protestant Mass
Is there really a need for such?
Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the chief architect of the Novus Ordo Mass, said in 1965:
We must strip from our Catholic prayers and from the Catholic liturgy everything which can be the shadow of a stumbling block for our separated brethren—that is, for the Protestants.
Jean Guitton, a French philosopher and close friend of Pope Paul VI, says in his book The Pope Speaks: Dialogues of Paul VI with Jean Guitton:
The intention of Paul VI with regard to what is commonly called the [Novus Ordo] Mass, was to reform the Catholic liturgy in such a way that it should almost coincide with the Protestant liturgy — but what is curious is that Paul VI did that to get as close as possible to the Protestant Lord's Supper … there was with Paul VI an ecumenical intention to remove, or least to correct, or at least to relax, what was too Catholic, in the traditional sense, in the Mass and, I repeat, to get the Catholic Mass closer to the Calvinist Mass.
Also, Michael Davies, the Welsh critic of the post-Vatican II liturgy, cites in his book Pope Paul's New Mass many Protestant theologians and pastors praising the Novus Ordo Mass for its "ecumenical" dimensions and having no qualms in using it (although only with the Second Eucharistic Prayer).
From Gloria.TV News on the 13th of February 2017
The Italian blog "Anonimi della Croce" cites a confidential source in Santa Marta according to which Pope Francis envisages changes in the New Rite Eucharist which serve a single goal: ecumenism. Francis plans to create a Eucharistic liturgy that could be celebrated with the Protestants. The source claims that the deal is practically done.

Beutler's provide stock, tradition, history to Sandhills Rodeo
ODESSA -- Bennie and Rhett Beutler each had the chance early in their lives to pursue something other than rodeo.
Both pursued and earned college degrees. Rhett even played baseball while in college.
But when your family has been working as stock contractors in the rodeo business since 1929, it's hard to do something else and the Beutlers continued the family business.
Over the next two weeks, the father-son duo, which runs Beutler and Son Rodeo Company, are set to be the new stock contractors for this year's SandHills Stock Show and Rodeo at the Ector County Coliseum. The Beutlers said even though the work is hard, they enjoy every minute of it.
"I always was in it and I always did like it," said Bennie, who is 60 years old and is also a member of the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. "I went to college and everything, but my family, they'd always been in the rodeo business. It's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun."
The SandHills Rodeo begins today and will conclude Jan. 12. The Beutler and Son Rodeo Company will take over after the SandHills Rodeo and the Harry Vold Rodeo Company parted ways after nearly 40 years.
The family has been involved in being stock contractors for more than 75 years. The business that Bennie and his son Rhett, who is 36 years old, run was started when Bennie teamed with his father Jiggs to form Beutler and Son Rodeo Company more than 30 years ago.
Bennie said the family's first rodeo was in Clinton, Okla., in 1929 and he said his grandfather and two uncles took stock for two days and was paid $100.
Today, the company is based on a sprawling 10,000 acre ranch just north of Elk City, Okla., and has provided stock for rodeos in Abilene, Austin, Tucson, Ariz., Greeley, Colo. and has also had animals compete at the National Finals Rodeo. Overall, Bennie said they provide stock to about 30 rodeos a year.
The company breeds and raises about 95 percent of its horses and bulls that are used in rodeos. Bennie said a key to success is almost like a football team in being able to restock every year.
They work each year to bring new horses and bulls into the rotation not only helps with the overall health of the animals, but also keeps the stock varied as the company goes to different rodeos.
Bennie said they work hard to provide stock that not only can provide a cowboy a challenge but also offer that cowboy good points on a ride. Plus, Bennie said he remembers a saying from his grandfather, "If you buck some of them guys, you sell tickets."
Many of the animals the company uses can trace their lineage back to other animals the company has raised.
"Most people don't understand if you don't rebuild every year, in three years you are out of luck," Bennie said. "You've got new horses coming in and they usually don't start bucking until they are 4 or 5 years old. We've got some new horses coming down to Odessa, and they haven't been to some of the bigger rodeos. The best case is if it's a 90-point ride, but I still try to buck them off."
The Beutler family and the SandHills Rodeo do have some history as the Beutler family once provided stock for the rodeo in the 1950s, and longtime SandHills stock contractor Harry Vold actually worked for the Beutlers before venturing on his own in the early 1960s. Vold's first rodeo was the SandHills Rodeo.
Returning to provide the stock for the SandHills Rodeo is something special for the company, partly because of the rodeo's history and they know the pressure will be on because they are following a longtime stock contractor. But they are ready.
"There is pressure on us because you've got everybody in the business watching you," said Rhett, who graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma University and has been working with the company full time since 2000. "They made the change and not that many changes take place at big rodeos like this. Once they do, everybody is watching. There is just added pressure on you besides not only the people in Odessa, but the rodeo community itself (is watching)."

Stanford Wins NCAA Championship, Defeats Florida 4-3
May 25, 2010
By Andy Johnston
Special to NCAA.com
ATHENS, Ga. - Stanford's Mallory Burdette glanced around and saw the blur of her sister rushing toward her.
There was no chance to react, so all she could do was absorb the full force of the perfect tackle.
Lindsay Burdette's shoulder drove into Mallory's chest, sending her to the court where she had just clinched the NCAA Division I women's national tennis championship with a 4-3 victory over Florida on Tuesday.
"It actually didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would," Mallory said. "I saw her running and I was like, 'I'm going to get hit.' I'll be excited to watch it on replay."
Teammates then dogpiled the sisters who grew up in Jackson, Ga., about 75 miles from Athens, and whose older brother and sister attend Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine, a block from the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, the site of Stanford's 16th national championship.
Mallory Burdette's 6-4, 6-7 (4) 7-5 victory over Florida's Marrit Boonstra capped a grueling team match that lasted about 4 1/2 hours. It ended when Boonstra's final hit was wide, leading to the tackle and celebration.
"It's just an epic performance by our team," Stanford coach Lele Forood said. "It's just been what they've been about all year. They've grown tremendously. It's just been a phenomenal year."
Stanford controlled women's tennis the first decade of this century, winning national titles in 2001 and '02 and then three straight from 2004-06. The last time the two teams met in the final, Florida won 4-3 in 2003 in Gainesville, Fla.
The eighth-seeded Cardinal (26-1), who lost only to UCLA this year, holds a 9-2 advantage over the Gators in the NCAA tournament. Florida has won four national titles, the most recent one in '03.
The loss ended Florida's 22-match winning streak and was its only defeat in Athens this year. The third-seeded Gators (29-3) were 7-1 in their hated rivals' hometown, defeating Georgia in a regular-season match before rolling through the Southeastern Conference tournament a month ago and the Sweet 16, Elite 8 and semifinals of the NCAA tournament.
"An inch here and there decided it, and that inch can't be the end all, be all as far as the season is concerned," Florida coach Roland Thornqvist said. "It's been a great season. Once this initial pain here, the shock of losing abates, I'm sure we'll look upon this season with great pride."
Florida took the doubles point when Anastasia Revzina and Caroline Hitimana won 8-6 at No. 3, but Stanford quickly recovered in singles, with Stacey Tan defeating Revzina 6-2, 6-2 at No. 4 and Lindsay Burdette knocking off Allie Will 6-3, 6-3 at No. 2.
Florida's Lauren Embree won 6-4, 6-3 at No. 1 singles to tie the match at 2-all, but the teams split at Nos. 5 and 6, setting up the three-set showdown between Boonstra and Mallory Burdette, a freshman.
Burdette had two championship points before Boonstra hit a shot wide, leading to Lindsay Burdette, a senior, rushing onto the court.
"All I was thinking was that I wanted to be the first one to get to her," Lindsay said. "Everybody went out of the gate and I jumped the fence. I got out ahead. I just remember running really fast, and all of a sudden I stopped and I hit her. I remember her crying really hard, and I was like, 'Oh my God, I broke her back. I broke her back. I broke her back.' I said, 'Are you OK,' and she said, 'Yes.'"
This title ends a three-year drought for Stanford, the second biggest of its reign as the dominant program in the sport since the NCAA Championships began in 1982. The Cardinal went from 1993-96 before winning in '97.
"I feel like this is the desert. Believe me," Forood said. "We just haven't had the right combination of factors the last couple of years. We have been really trying to find the formula. We wanted to get back on the map. That's very important for us. We are back now."

The Euro is under further pressure today after a hawkish speech over the weekend by US Federal Reserve President Janet Yellen.
After breaking through the US1.15c mark recently the European currency has pulled back sharply towards US1.11c on the expectations that the US Fed will hike interest rates next month after many had predicted a move later in the year.
Harvard University, Yellen noted that the chances of a rate hike was a real possibility although the final decision would be data dependent and the Fed would keep an eye on key economic indicators in the nearest future.
She also stressed that any future moves would be gradual so not to shock the market and derail the fragile recovery of the world economy after the 2008 financial crisis.
"It's appropriate, and I have said this in the past,for the Fed to gradually and cautiously increase our overnight interest rate over time," Yellen said,
"and probably in the coming months such a move would be appropriate.". she added.
The market is now pricing in a more than 30 percent chance that the US central bank will lift

A.J. Gallagher will buy UK firm for $370 million
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., the insurance broker that raised funds in June for acquisitions, agreed to buy the Giles Group of Companies for $370 million to expand in the U.K.
Giles has more than 1,100 employees operating from 43 offices, according to a statement today from Itasca-based Gallagher.
The deal will add new customers and help the broker provide more services to clients with international operations, Gallagher said. The company, with business in the U.K., Canada and Australia, has been expanding outside the U.S. as it competes with Marsh & McLennan Cos. and Aon Plc, which are the largest brokers. About 20 percent of Gallagher's revenue came from outside the U.S. last year, up from 13 percent in 2010.
"We continue to look for outstanding international partners," Chief Executive Officer J. Patrick Gallagher said in the statement. With the deal, "we can significantly expand our operations in England and Scotland" while adding business in location such as Northern Ireland and Wales.
The deal is expected to generate more than 90 million pounds in annual revenue and be completed next month, Gallagher said. The broker announced the private placement of $200 million in debt in June and said the funds could be used for acquisitions.
The Giles transaction will be financed with free cash and borrowing from a line of credit. Gallagher said it expects to repay the credit line within six months, with the issuance of long-term notes.
Transportation, Health
Gallagher rose 1.4 percent to $41.98 at 10:35 a.m. in New York trading. The broker has climbed 21 percent this year, beating the 16 percent advance of the Standard & Poor's Midcap 400 Index.
Giles is one of the top five independent insurance brokers in the U.K., according to the company's website. The firm acts as a middleman between insurers and buyers for coverage including transportation and health policies.
Gallagher said net consideration is about 233 million pounds after accounting for the value of some acquired assets, including those related to taxes.

Our goals for learning:
Our mathematical and scientific heritage originated with the civilizations of the Middle East
Why does modern science trace its roots to the Greeks?
Greek geocentric model (c. 400 B.C.)
Special Topic: Eratosthenes measures the Earth (c. 240 BC)
Syene to Alexandria
distance ≈ 5000 stadia
angle = 7°
Calculate circumference of Earth:
7/360 (circum. Earth) = 5000 stadia
circum. Earth = 5000 360/7 stadia ≈ 250,000 stadia
Compare to modern value (≈ 40,100 km):
Greek stadium ≈ 1/6 km 250,000 stadia ≈ 42,000 km
How did the Greeks explain planetary motion?
Underpinnings of the Greek geocentric model:
Review: Over a period of 10 weeks, Mars appears to stop, back up, then go forward again.
The most sophisticated geocentric model was that of Ptolemy (A.D. 100-170) — the Ptolemaic model:
So how does the Ptolemaic model explain retrograde motion? Planets really do go backward in this model..
How was Greek knowledge preserved through history?
Our goals for learning:
How did Copernicus, Tycho, and Kepler challenge the Earth-centered idea?
Copernicus (1473-1543):
But . . .
Kepler first tried to match Tycho's observations with circular orbits
Johannes Kepler(1571-1630)
An ellipse looks like an elongated circle
What are Kepler's three laws of planetary motion?
Kepler's First Law: The orbit of each planet around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus.
Kepler's Second Law: As a planet moves around its orbit, it sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the relationship
p2 = a3
p = orbital period in years
a = avg. distance from Sun in AU
Hint: Remember that p2 = a3
We need to find p so that p2 = a3
Since a = 4, a3 = 43 = 64
Therefore p = 8, p2 = 82 = 64
Galileo (1564-1642) overcame major objections to Copernican view. Three
key objections rooted in Aristotelian view were:
Earth could not be moving because objects in air would be left behind.
Non-circular orbits are not "perfect" as heavens should be.
If Earth were really orbiting Sun,we'd detect stellar parallax.
Overcoming the first objection (nature of motion):
Galileo's experiments showed that objects in air would stay with a moving Earth.
Overcoming the second objection (heavenly perfection):
Overcoming the third objection (parallax):
Galileo also saw four moons orbiting Jupiter, proving that not all objects orbit the Earth
Galileo's observations of phases of Venus proved that it orbits the Sun and not Earth.
The Catholic Church ordered Galileo to recant his claim that Earth orbits the Sun in 1633
His book on the subject was removed from the Church's index of banned books in 1824
Galileo was formally vindicated by the Church in 1992
Galileo Galilei
Our goals for learning:
The idealized scientific method
Modern science seeks explanations for observed phenomena that rely solely on natural causes.
(A scientific model cannot include divine intervention)
Science progresses through the creation and testing of models of nature that explain the observations as simply as possible.
(Simplicity = "Occam's razor")
A scientific model must make testable predictions about natural phenomena that would force us to revise or abandon the model if the predictions do not agree with observations.

What he says has much to do with the Secretary of Ag, his agenda or perceived agenda. We should rightly question whoever is put into this position, are they beholden to big corn? biotech? Monsanto? ADM? Kroger? Etc… This appointment affects what we eat and how we eat it and thusly the millions of acres that these crops grow on. We cannot dislocate our food from the soil it grows in.
Interesting to see what will come of this, but Dr. Chu seems to be a good choice.

MGM Mirage (MGM) is exploring options for 85 acres of prime real estate in Atlantic City, N.J., that the casino operator has left vacant since it acquired the land seven years ago.
The company is mulling a development similar to its sprawling $7.4 billion CityCenter project under construction on the Las Vegas strip. It will feature condos, boutique hotels, a resort casino, and a retail and entertainment district.
"We have no doubt that the type of development should be a mixed-use development along the lines of CityCenter, although at a smaller scale," said Dan D'Arrigo, senior vice president of finance at MGM Mirage, in an interview.
MGM Mirage owns 71 acres of unused land tucked between the Las Vegas-style Borgata hotel and casino - a joint venture between the company and Boyd Gaming Corp. (BYD) - and Harrah's Atlantic City. In addition, it has 14 acres of waterfront property behind the Trump Marina Hotel Casino. That land was acquired as part of the company's purchase of Mirage Resorts Inc. in 2000.

(AP) Oil thefts threaten Nigeria's economy, environment
By JON GAMBRELL
Associated Press
DIEBU, Nigeria
The first drops of crude float in the languid muddy currents of Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta, then slowly grow into the splatter of a massive crime scene.
Oil thefts, long a problem in the Niger Delta, are growing at an ever-faster rate despite government officials and international companies offering increasingly dire warnings about the effect on Nigeria's crude production. Some 200,000 barrels a day _ representing about 10 percent of Nigeria's production _ are siphoned off pipelines crisscrossing the region.
While drums end up leaking in villages and used to make crude kerosene and gasoline, the major thieves appear to belong to international criminal gangs that sell it into world markets, analysts and experts say. And the same Nigerian politicians and military leaders now targeting the small-scale local refineries that dot the delta likely are the ones benefiting from those massive thefts.
Oil is the lifeblood of Nigeria's economy. Since the company that would become Royal Dutch Shell PLC discovered the first commercially viable well in 1956, oil earnings grew to account for some 80 percent of all government revenue in Nigeria, a nation of more than 160 million people. While corruption sees much of that money frittered away, it still provides needed funding for projects in the country.
A government-sponsored amnesty program largely halted militant attacks in the delta in 2009, allowing production levels to return to more than 2 million barrels of oil a day. But while production grew amid the relative peace, the level of thefts grew quietly and quickly across the region of winding creeks and mangroves about the size of Portugal.
Locals call the practices "bunkering," which sees thieves use hacksaws and blades to cut into the pipes. When the companies see the pressure drop on their lines, they dial back the pressure on the lines just long enough for thieves to attach spigots to the lines. As the pressure rises back up, the thieves simply divert some of the oil out of the line to their own uses.
In Diebu, a village in Bayelsa state, the home of President Goodluck Jonathan, children ran and played around leaking drums of stolen crude oil. The crude likely came from lines run by Shell and Italian oil company Eni SpA, though residents there demanded money from visiting journalists to see the sites of the thefts. Many here view the thefts as their opportunity to have a taste of a commodity that built Nigeria's sterile central capital of Abuja, a city of gleaming towers and massive highways. In Diebu, the locals pointed out a large clinic of empty rooms without medicine and a local doctor's quarters that appeared to have squatters inside. The dilapitated schools had large holes where windows were supposed to be.
Amid the neglect, locals rationalize the thefts with a simple question: If governors, politicians and everyone else stole the money, why shouldn't they steal a taste as well?
But that balance comes at an environmental cost as well. Operations at local refineries, which produce crude gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel, see oil spilled everywhere, soaking the ground into a mix of mud and crude that can swallow a leg up to the knee. Large dug-in pits hold the crude until it passes through makeshift piping to create fuels sometimes so volatile they can explode at will. Massive fires that send plumes of smoke towering into the air fuel the process.
Nigeria's military, which maintains a presence in the delta since the militant attacks, has begun targeting illegal refineries in the region. Local refiners like Ibeci say they now work only at night, as the smoke plumes draw soldiers to their operations during the day.
The military claims to have dismantled dozens of such illegal refineries, though Associated Press journalists in the region in May came across multiple sites where the ground was still warm from refining the night before. Lt. Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, a military spokesman for the region, declined several interview requests regarding the military's efforts in the region.
But as Nigeria's government focuses on illegal refineries, Cole said the vast majority of the thefts actually see the oil taken out of the country into eastern Europe, South America and Asia for sale. Cole's organization, which received initial seed money from Shell and later received support from the Dutch government, wants there to be stricter monitoring of oil entering international markets, as well as testing done to ensure that such stolen crude can't be slipped into the system.
However, he acknowledges the true challenge facing the effort: Those supporting the thefts include Nigeria's military and the nation's political elite.
