State Records Committee Appeal 04-12
MATTHEW D. LAPLANTE and MATT CANHAM, Petitioner,
SANDY CITY, Repondent.
Case No. 04-12
By this appeal, Salt Lake Tribune Reporters Matthew D. LaPlante and Matt Canham seek an order compelling Sandy City to provide the names of police and fire department personnel. After providing salary and other information responsive to the request, the City denied access to the names of these public safety workers on the grounds that it had classified personnel records as confidential pursuant to Utah Code Ann. 10-3-1212(2). The State Records Committee, having reviewed materials submitted by the parties, and having heard oral argument and testimony of the parties on October 27, 2004, now issues the following Decision and Order.
1. GRAMA specifies that "all records are public unless otherwise expressly provided by statute." Utah Code Ann. 63-2-201(2). Utah Code Ann. 63-2-301 states:
(1) The following records are public except to the extent they contain information expressly permitted to be treated confidentially under the provisions of Subsections 63-2-201(3)(b) and (6)(a): . . . . (b) names, gender, gross compensation, job titles, job descriptions, business addresses, business telephone numbers, number of hours worked per pay period, dates of employment, and relevant education, previous employment, and similar job qualifications of the governmental entity's former and present employees and officers excluding:
(i) undercover law enforcement personnel; and
(ii) investigative personnel if disclosure could reasonably be expected to impair the effectiveness of investigations or endanger any individual's safety; Utah Code Ann. 63-2-301(1) (emphasis added). GRAMA acknowledges that there may be other laws that govern or limit the disclosure of records. In that instance, "disclosure of records to which access is governed or limited pursuant to . . . another state statute . . . is governed by the specific provisions of that statute . . . ." Utah Code Ann. 63-2-201(6); see also Utah Code Ann. 63-2-201(3)(b).
2. The City maintains that Section 201(6) applies to this case. Utah Code Ann. 10-3-1212(2) states: The books, records, and accounts of the [city] council shall be kept at the office of the city recorder or town clerk. Individual citizens or citizen groups may have access to all public records with the exception of personnel records, which have not been classified as confidential for public policy purposes. Id. (emphasis added).
3. The initial question before is whether Section 1212 applies to petitioners' requests. After considering this statute in context, it is apparent that this limitation only applies to city council records. The records sought were not created or maintained by the city council. Therefore, this provision does not apply to petitioners' requests.
4. Having determined that access to these records is not governed or limited by Section 10-2-1212(2) of the Optional Forms of Government Act, the Committee must now determine whether the information sought is public pursuant to Section 63-2-301(1)(b) of the Government Records Access and Management Act. Section 301 is reasonably clear on its face. Subject to the exceptions set forth in subsections (i) and (ii), the names of a governmental entity's current employees are public. The Committee is mindful of the public safety and security concerns raised by the City (see Utah Code Ann. 63-2-304(10)), however, the principles of democracy outweigh those concerns and the Committee is satisfied that the exceptions noted above are sufficient to address them.
WHEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT petitioners' request to access the names of police and fire personnel is granted as set forth above. Sandy City's decision to deny access to the requested information is reversed.
Either party may appeal this Decision and Order to the District Court. The petition for review must be filed no later than thirty (30) days after the date of this order. The petition for judicial review must be a complaint. The complaint and the appeals process are governed by the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure and by Utah Code Ann. 63-2-404. The court is required to make its decision de novo. In order to protect its rights on appeal, a party may wish to seek advice from an attorney.
Pursuant to Utah Code Ann. 63-2-403(14), the government entity herein shall comply with the order of the Committee and, if records are ordered to be produced, file (i) a notice of compliance with the records committee upon production of the records; or (ii) a notice of intent to appeal. If the government entity fails to file a notice of compliance or a notice of intent to appeal, the Committee may do either or both of the following: (a) impose a civil penalty of up to $500 for each day of continuing noncompliance; or (b) send written notice of the entity's noncompliance to the Governor for executive branch entities, to the Legislative Management Committee for legislative branch entities, and to the Judicial Council for judicial branch agencies entities.
Entered this 1st day of November, 2004.

Members of the Wadhams United Church of Christ will be building hats for children Sunday, Jan. 13.
The event, which will provide polar fleece hats for children of the Wadhams area, will allow the youth to pick out their own colors and then watch as the hats are made for them.
Parishioner Faylene Davis said that the process will take about five minutes.
"It will actually take us longer to put an embellishments on than it will to make the hat," Davis said. "We will have some already made up, but if we do not have what a child is looking for, then they can choose the fabric and it will take us about five minutes to make the hat."
Davis said that this is the second year that the church has done a hat outreach, with last year's effort being pointed toward older residents.
"This year we wanted to target the area children that may be in need of hats," Davis said. "If we have any hats leftover, we are going to donate those to the Elizabethtown Community Hospital mitten and hat tree. Hopefully, we won't have any left over and we will have to make more to send to the hospital."
Davis said that the hats will be given out free, but that donations would be accepted.
"Pastor Leon (Hebrink) has really brought out the message of doing the right things for the right reasons," she said. "Last year, people asked if they could donate and we didn't want them to, but donations will go toward having this event again next year."
The build-a-hats will be done at the Wadhams United Church of Christ Hall, which is located behind the church, from 1 to 3 p.m. For more information, call 962-8388.

Fanatical British-Hating Muslims Offered Police Protection in UK
Last week they were telling British troops returning from Iraq to "go to hell."
Today they are receiving police protection from the country they loath.
Radical Brit-hater Yousaf Bashir is now under police protection in the UK.
The UK Sun reported:
OUTRAGE erupted last night as police lavished a 24-hour VIP guard on a Muslim fanatic who branded British soldiers "criminals".
Warped Yousaf Bashir yelled abuse at 200 heroic troops at their homecoming parade from Iraq.
He and his 14 cronies waved placards calling the soldiers — from 2nd Battalion, the Royal Anglian Regiment — "the butchers of Basra", "murderers and terrorists" and "baby killers" in Luton, Beds.
On Friday night, two windows and glass in the door of the home in the town he shares with his parents were smashed, along with the rear windows of cars parked in the drive.
Two PCs were sent to Bashir's house on Saturday and their car was still there last night.
Tory MP and ex- army officer Patrick Mercer blasted: "You have to wonder whether police time wouldn't have been better spent countering terrorism than protecting its sympathisers."
The protesters were shouting, "Anglican soldiers go to hell!" as the British soldiers marched by.
Here is the video from that past:

There's just something about Dallas, Texas that brings out the best in Team MGG. With all the Ixalan excitement leading up to #SCGDFW centered on Dinosaurs and Pirates, Andrew Jessup had brewed up a simple but effective version of B/G Energy that looked to splash one of the most powerful cards in Ixalan – Hostage Taker. We all worked on the deck in the week leading up to the event, but something just wasn't sitting right with me.
Sure, the deck was doing well. Hostage Taker was overperforming expectations, while the standard Winding Constrictor / Energy package was as good as it always was. However, as I played against U/W Approach opponent after U/W Approach opponent, I began to feel the tingle. With every Glimmer of Genius cast, with every Settle the Wreckage I had to play around, that tingle would grow into a need.
I needed to find Azcanta.
I didn't start actually playing the U/W Approach deck until the Thursday before #SCGDFW, but once I did, I knew I'd be playing it in the event. The Sultai Energy deck that Andrew, Dan Jessup, and Brad Carpenter played was great, but I couldn't deny myself the chance to sleeve up a U/W Control deck.
Lands (25)
Spells (35)
Only, as I would find, it wasn't really a "true" control deck…
A Little Bit Combo-y, A Little Bit U/W Control
U/W Approach is a rare deck archetype, combo-control. Unlike most combo decks, it is not in any real rush to execute its combo, and unlike most control decks, its not trying to take control of the entire game. Rather, it is trying to control the game up until a point where it can execute its combo and win the game.
It may sound weird to call a single card a "combo," but the reality is that Approach of the Second Sun is essentially a combo with itself. Given enough time, Approach of the Second Sun is all you need to win a game. You don't need creatures, planeswalkers, direct damage, mill effects… just the card Approach of the Second Sun. As such, it makes sense that it's a perfect win condition for a control deck. You can pack your deck full of interactive cards because you only need three slots dedicated to winning the game.
Of course, what those interactive cards are is going to be dictated by the fact we can win the game on the spot, regardless of what our opponent has on the battlefield. This is very different from normal decks, which usually must completely take control of the game before they cast their Aetherling or whatever that will eventually win the game.
As such, our focus is more on temporary measures than hard control. We aren't going to need a lot of hard counterspells and it's okay if our opponents can play around our removal as long as it takes them extra time to do so. We don't need to draw a ton of cards, as we are much more interested in the particular cards that matter.
We these things in mind, let's take a closer look at the deck.
One of the main reasons U/W Approach is effective is how good Fumigate is. Fumigate had a really rough time when Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Heart of Kiran were premier threats in the format, but the truth is that it's probably the best five-mana sweeper of all time. The extra life you gain gives you a great buffer. If your opponent tries to hold back and play around it, that gives you more time, and the format is especially creature-centric at the moment.
Settle the Wreckage is a new card from Ixalan that slots perfectly into the deck. While Fumigate encourages your opponent to not deploy all of their creatures, Settle the Wreckage encourages them to not even attack with the ones they have! Multiple times last weekend, my opponents would leave creatures back for fear of Settle the Wreckage when I didn't have it, and that is a major advantage for any deck trying to stay alive. Settle the Wreckage also does a great job of answering sticky threats like Hazoret the Fervent, The Scarab God, and Scrapheap Scrounger, and giving you time to cast Glimmer of Genius when your opponent doesn't attack.
Even better than slowing your opponent's attacks down with Settle the Wreckage is punishing them for only attacking with one creature with Farm // Market! Having many different cards in your deck that all need to be played against in a certain way makes things very tough on your opponent.
Farm // Market isn't a great Magic card, but you need some form of cheap interaction and it does the trick. Being able to cast Market from your graveyard in the mid-game is also great to find gas and get you to your second casting of Approach of the Second Sun sooner.
Tip: It's not uncommon to have to discard to hand size in the mirror, and having a Farm // Market in your graveyard to help you to sift through useless Fumigates and Aether Meltdowns can give you a nice edge.
Aether Meltdown also isn't winning any awards, but when it comes to two-mana interactive spells, it's basically all we've got. Again, it's not a great permanent answer, but we don't need permanent answers – just time. Aether Meltdown isn't great against a lot of the format's best early threats – Bomat Courier, Glint-Sleeve Siphoner, Winding Constrictor, and Kari Zev, Skyship Raider, to name a few – but at least a few are necessary for some early defense.
Adding to the bevy of different cards you can cast at instant speed for four mana, Cast Out is one of your most important. While cards like Farm // Market and Aether Meltdown are super-narrow in their applications, Cast Out is the exact opposite. Cast Out deals with all the problem cards, doing so at a very low opportunity cost because cycling is a valuable asset to the deck regardless.
Tip: It's very important to save Cast Out for your opponent's biggest threats, and to recognize when you should and shouldn't cycle it because you'll need the answers later. If you don't have an answer to a potential Chandra, Torch of Defiance or The Scarab God, save that Cast Out!
Censor is a card that typically underperforms in traditional control decks but works very well here in U/W Approach. The reason for this is how poorly it scales into the mid- and late-game and also how desperate we are for good plays on Turn 2.
You only usually cast Censor maybe 20% of the time, and that other 80% of the time when you cycle it can often feel like you're just spinning your wheels. However, because we are so interested in finding our keep cards quickly and then winning in one shot, we don't necessarily need to have a high density of effective cards in our deck.
Beyond Censor, the deck doesn't really want a ton of counterspells. Censor serves our early-game role, and once our opponent starts casting their bigger stuff, we want to just win with Approach of the Second Sun. However, we do have a smattering of other counters.
Supreme Will feels like it should be great but has always disappointed me. It has the same problem that most modal spells have – neither side is very good. Sure, being able to cast Mana Leak or Impulse is nice, but neither effect is worth three mana, and every time you cast a Supreme Will, it just feels clunky, to say nothing of drawing more than one. We can't afford clunk, so we're only playing two copies.
The one Disallow is a concession to the mirror, as most U/W Approach decks play zero hard counterspells. Even having just one can put you over the top, as both players will see a very large portion of their deck in Game 1 and only a few cards actually matter. Having one more hard counter in your deck than your opponent gives you more advantage than only one maindeck slot would seem to entail, and it's fine in most other matchups.
Essence Scatter is solid card that I wanted in the sideboard but couldn't find room for, so it ended up in the maindeck. It's fantastic in your already good matchups, a good answer to Hazoret the Fervent, and excellent post-sideboard in the mirror when your opponent brings in Torrential Gearhulk and Regal Caracal.
Ah, yes, Opt.
I expect Opt to be one of the most hotly debated cards in Standard over the next year or two. How bad does a cantrip have to be before we don't bother playing it? I played four Opt at SCG Dallas, while David Thomas played zero. Who's right?
I'm not exactly sure.
The argument against Opt is similar to the argument against Censor in control decks – it fills your deck with too much air. If you spend all your time spinning your tires casting Opt and cycling Censor, you're not really doing much and have a much lower density of impactful cards in your deck.
The biggest benefit to Opt, and to a lesser degree cyclers like Censor, is Search for Azcanta.
A few weeks ago I waxed poetic about the flip lands in Ixalan, and Search for Azcanta has been everything I expected and more.
Playing more cantrips and cycling cards just makes your Search for Azcanta much easier. It's not necessary to go overboard and try to turbo-flip Search for Azcanta, but if there are cards you already want to cast that can fill up your graveyard more quickly than usual, that's a major plus.
Tip: You can put the Search for Azcanta upkeep trigger on the stack and then cast Opt or cycle cards to help get you up to seven cards in the graveyard before the trigger resolves.
Azcanta, the Sunken Ruin is probably even better in a pure control deck full of top-notch answers, but how well it interacts with Approach of the Second Sun makes up for that and more in U/W Approach. You can use Azcanta, the Sunken Ruin to find Approach of the Second Sun, and once you cast it, you can use Azcanta to clear four cards off the top of your deck to cast it again far sooner.
This combination of Rampant Growth, card advantage, and combo acceleration makes Search for Azcanta one of the best cards in the deck, with only the legend rule keeping it down to two or three copies.
Glimmer of Genius rounds out the card advantage portion of the deck, and needs no introduction.
Tip: It's very important once you cast Approach of the Second Sun to track how many cards you have left until you hit it again; this way you can use your many methods of sifting through your top cards more effectively. I was making a tally for every card I saw on my life pad so I had a visual reminder.
The last interesting element to the deck is the small Desert package in the manabase.
Ipnu Rivulet is already a very nice tool for helping to sift four cards off your clock to Approach of the Second Sun, which it does at a very low opportunity cost, but I wanted a bit more out of it.
In the mirror or any control matchup, you can use it as both a win condition and a way to interact with Approach of the Second Sun directly. By adding a few additional Deserts at a very low opportunity cost, we drastically increase the power level of Ipnu Rivulet in these types of matchups. Because our deck is filled with so many answers, any traditional control deck relying on Torrential Gearhulk or The Scarab God should have an extremely difficult time killing us before we can mill them out, and it gives us another angle of attack in the mirror.
Tip: Remember how many cheap cycling cards this deck has when trying to mill your opponent's Approach of the Second Sun! If you wait until it is the top card or the second card in their deck, they may be able to draw a few cards in response to your mill and draw it anyway.
Nowhere is it more obvious that U/W Approach is not a traditional control deck than in the sideboard. Most control decks have a wide variety of different cards to try to answer different problems that may present themselves.
U/W Approach, by contrast, has two full playsets and a three-of.
Ramunap Red is the only deck in the format with a good Game 1 against you, so it's imperative we beat them in the sideboarded games. While Authority of the Consuls has dramatic diminishing returns past the first copy, you want the first copy so much that it's worth playing the full playset. The games you have Authority of the Consuls are way different from the games you don't, which will heavily dictate how you use your cards for the rest of the game.
Once you land an Authority of the Consuls, the important cards to stop are Chandra, Torch of Defiance and Hazoret the Fervent – you should never use a Cast Out on anything else for as long as you can help it.
The other piece to the Ramunap Red puzzle, Regal Caracal provides quite the stopper to their aggression. This can buy you the time you need to find and cast Approach of the Second Sun, which they have no way to interact with.
However, Regal Caracal has another job in conjunction with our next sideboard card.
Torrential Gearhulk is not a card traditionally seen in sideboards, but this is clearly not a traditional deck.
The most devastating cards that people are going to bring in against you allow them to interact where they couldn't before. Very few maindecks are equipped to handle your big noncreature spells, so in come Negate and Duress and friends to try to ruin your day.
If they want to stop your noncreature spells, let's just bring in some great creatures!
Torrential Gearhulk comes in from the sideboard in any matchup where you expect your opponent to have these cards, forcing them to interact with your 5/6 creature as well as your spells. They have to take out a lot or all of their removal for the Negate package, which leaves you free to ambush them and fight back on the battlefield with your Torrential Gearhulk.
For the mirror or any control matchup where you don't need all of your removal, Regal Caracal can come in as well, or against any deck that is going overboard on noncreature effects.
A crucial card for the mirror or against other control decks, Negate allows you to actually interact.
Tip: It's not usually a good idea to bring in Negate and try to use it like a Dispel to force your big spells through; two mana is just too much more than one. Use creatures instead to combat Negate.
Not only is Scavenger Grounds a nice tool against graveyard decks, but it is also your 25th land and seventh Desert in your control and mirror matchups. This helps ensure you don't miss land drops and gives you more fuel for Ipnu Rivulet.
Your control opponents are assuredly going to bring in Torrential Gearhulk as well, and I wanted a few good counterspell answers. Jace's Defeat teams up with the maindeck Essence Scatter to help fight that battle.
Matchups and Sideboarding
The biggest draw to U/W Approach is that you win almost every Game 1. Unless your opponent is playing Ramunap Red or the mirror, they will lack the tools to interact with you, and they will watch helplessly as you cast your big spells.
Once you sideboard, you become the favorite against Ramunap Red, a favorite in the mirror if you've won the technology battle, and a slight underdog in your other matchups depending on how many copies of Negate and Duress they have. If they don't have access to Negate or Duress, they don't have much of a chance, which helps to explain why G/R Dinosaurs is already extinct.
Ramunap Red
(On the draw, remove a Censor instead of Aether Meltdown.)
Your goal is to land an Authority of the Consuls, deal with their smaller cards with your smaller cards, and make sure to save your big answers for Chandra, Torch of Defiance and Hazoret the Fervent. Regal Caracal is great, but beware of Glorybringer if you don't have Authority of the Consuls on the battlefield.
Temur Energy / Sultai Energy
Game 1 is pretty easy, as they don't have the tools to interact, but once Negate comes in, that changes. Aggressively interact with them, trying to make sure you aren't reliant on resolving a key Fumigate or Settle the Wreckage. Try to set up ambushes with Torrential Gearhulk and try to lean on Search for Azcanta for card advantage, especially against Sultai with their additional copies of Duress.
U/W Approach
The mirror is won and lost in deckbuilding. Very few cards actually matter, and having more of those cards will usually win the day. Gideon of the Trials is an extremely effective card for the mirror, as its emblem basically knocked me out of the Top 8 by itself. You are going to have X cards that matter, and they are going to have Y answers; if your X is bigger than their Y (and vice versa) you will likely emerge on top.
In the Top 8 of the Open, Dave's two Gideons, two Disallows, four Cast Out, and three Approach of the Second Sun trumped my one Disallow, four Cast Out, and three Approach of the Second Sun, despite my Ipnu Rivulets.
Tip: Game 1 is very non-interactive and largely dictated by who can cast the first Approach of the Second Sun, because it becomes extremely difficult for the other player to tap out for their own Approach of the Second Sun in fear of you casting your second. Remember, you only need to cast the first copy, not actually resolve it.
Going Forward
As long as people aren't playing maindeck interaction for noncreature spells, U/W Approach will remain an excellent choice for any Standard event. The deck simply operates on such a different axis from anything else in the format, and because each other deck has creature threats so powerful that all decks must play a healthy amount of removal, that doesn't seem likely to change.
It may not be a pure control deck, but at least I'm casting Glimmer of Genius again!

Held at the NYP Atrium on 11 and 12 July, Blogshop Till You Drop was a shopping roadshow that showcased many blogshops selling apparel, stationery, gifts and accessories for the male and female student population. Organized by Events Management and Road Show (EMRS) students as part of their Teaching Enterprise Project (TEP), it was an event filled with highlights such as flash mobs and a Blogshop King and Queen contest. External vendors such as Frolick ice-cream and Ramlee Burgers added to the festivities. We interviewed School of Business Management students Herman Tan and Leonard Loh, to find out how they put the entire event together!
|Leonard Loh (left) and Herman Tan, both in charge of the event
Leonard: There were a total of 26 blogshops, which were carefully screened to suit NYP students.
Tell us more about the preparations for the event in Day 1 and Day 2 respectively?
Herman: On Day 1, setting up of fixtures and other logistical equipment started at 8:30am. Food stalls
came in at 9am without any delays. It took about 45 minutes to set up everything. This, of course, could
not be done without the collective effort of the guys from EMRS. The event took off earlier than
expected at 10am. Once Day 1 of the event has ended, the team discussed and finalised the manpower requirements for Day 2. This was indeed a test of our time management and passion.
On Day 2, we had to set up the runway which nearly stretched to the entrance of the auditorium. It was
no easy feat but we managed to set it up and thankfully faced no problems. Instructions were given out
to specific students assigned with regards to the event highlights we had planned – a flash mob and
Blogshop King & Queen competition. Our emcees managed to pull in a good lunchtime crowd during the fashion parade and it went well with no major hiccups. Our very own EMRS students also performed a flash mob right after the competition.
Finally, we had a mystery flash mob at 4:15pm that even some EMRS students were not informed about.
This was so we could surprise them during the closure for Blogshop Till You Drop.
What were the challenges you faced?
Herman: We have been in school for more than 10 hours each day, and many of us have other commitments (CCAs, leadership camps, etc). Therefore, having the need to prioritize and be flexible is imperative. Passion is also necessary because to fulfill a task, one needs the drive to do it well.
Another challenge has to be tagging of every product with the right price tag. It was by, no means, an easy task because it has to be accurate, leaving no room for error. We would not want a case where we over or under charge a customer by tagging the wrong price tag.
The third challenge was getting the blogshops to confirm their attendance for the event. Because most blogshop owners hold full time jobs or are full time students like us, and it wasn't easy to get hold of them. We managed to do so after much perseverance.
What have you learned from organizing such an event, Leonard?
Leonard: I have learned to communicate effectively with my fellow EMRS mates. I have also learned to
listen actively when my supervisors are giving us instructions and tasks, especially when these tasks need to be completed within a specific time. To lead such an event, one has to be patient, passionate and driven in order to produce a successful event.
Thank you, Herman and Leonard for your time.

Trauma from a particular sex can make someone view someone as a danger zone, this causing a gay or hetero attraction which can reverse orientation, the mind does this to protect itself and the body from harm. I was traumatized by women and went to men, men upset me, so my mind went to somewhere very gross, I am dating a woman, and slow reverting back to heterosexuality. I see not all women are a danger zone.
I lived in homosexual addiction during my adolescent years so I know that change is possible. I came out of it. It gets harder with age but the freedom one experiences makes it a worthy struggle. Please strive brothers! Hope to see you where I have made it to be... Take care.
Much love,
- Martin
A person cannot be born gay for the simple fact that babies aren't born with the thought and desire to have sex. Someone doesn't come out of the womb wanting to 'sleep with' another baby.
This article is a perfect illustration of why people choose their sexuality and that no one is born gay. http://www.trueorigin.org/gaygene01.asp
What else needs be said?
The counter to this is usually something along the lines of "oh, but they just didn't really KNOW their orientation at that time! They didn't change anything, they DISCOVERED something!" But that's ridiculous. The people who change their minds often don't characterize it that way. And people have changed their minds on this more than once. What, was such a person just "discovering" what they "really were" each time or only the last time? Who's to say when someone's final decision has been made, anyway? Do we not know someone's "real" orientation until they die and can't change it any more?
But some say it's not necessarily the last thing. They say it could have been something else but then the person decided to "jump into the closet" or whatever. How is that YOUR call, how can YOU presume to say what they really are? Let me guess, you can tell because the "real" one must be the homosexual or bisexual one, amiright, anything but heterosexual. To say that such a person is just suppressing their "real" selves is rude and dismissive and not letting these people decide for themselves... So... That would make YOU the ones with the ACTUALLY bigoted position.
I mean over time you begin experiencing new things and explore more... There's people that they start being attracted to the same sex but that doesn't mean you chose to be who you are or not. I think a lot of things can influence your perspectives on things that doesn't mean you chose to be the person you are now. It just naturally happens.
In my experience, at the beginning I liked the opposite sex then In secondary school I started feeling attracted to the same sex and then over time I realised I'm neither homosexual nor bisexual. I am pan-sexual and I'm proud of who I am.
I think for everyone is different.
In my opinion, there's no right or wrong answer.
Just be yourself no matter what people say.
On Wikipedia. Scientists still have no answer as to why someone is born gay. No gay gene. Nothing.
How can you be "born gay" when you DISCOVER what your atteacted to in the teenage years? And not only that, They probably never will have an answer for this. Or they will pin everything on genetics like they usually do
The arguments supporting an unchanging sexuality always fall short. Find yourself unconvinced time after time like I did? Pfox helped myself and others, escape from the bondage of the unfilling, dangerous lifestyle of homosexual attraction. Hope to see you there. Believe in change. Believe if yourself. Thanks for reading. :)

Sexual orientation is a choice, and it's quite simple. Let's do a easy experiment, take earth, duplicate it, and put all the homosexuals on said planet, and the straights on the other. Now if homosexual's stay true to their word, they will be extinct in (probably) less than 100 years. If we go back to straight planet earth though, Everyone would have reproduced, and life would have continued. Like Light is to darkness, Male is to female.
I don't believe in Evolution, but i believe in facts, and facts prove my statement.
Sexuality is heavily influenced upon your surroundings. All people, weather they like it or not, are born of and to serve the purpose of continuing the human species. It's just what we do. However, as we develop, we may realize that our behavoir is abnormal. That we don't adhere to these rules of reproduction. It is known that enviromental factors play the biggest role in how you are molded. Everything that's not DNA (and even some parts of that) is formed by your environment. There is no 'gay gene'.
When I began my medical transition from male to female six years ago (under the supervision of an endocrinologist), I found that not only did my body and patterns of thought go through subtle shifts, but I also began to notice shifts in various parameters of my sexual attraction. When my testosterone is highest, I am attracted to only women. When it is low, I am attracted to only men. My estrogen levels seemed to determine what type of man or woman to which I was attracted: masculine when high, feminine when low. As an example, when both my testosterone and estrogen are low, I find myself attracted to masculine women.
It is my belief, and medical research is beginning to emerge to support this, that the brain is hardwired from birth to respond to a particular set of sexual stimuli, regulated by hormonal and/or other biochemical factors in the body. At any give time, I do not have control over what I consider sexually attractive. I cannot force myself to find one person attractive and another to not be so. I believe that if someone with as forceful a will as I have cannot accomplish this, then few if any other people would have any greater success.
The human experience is singular. Thinking that you could have chosen another way instead of how things actually are is a delusion used to fuel self-pity. Improving awareness will increase your range of possibility, but like everything else, your level of awareness or use of knowledge/wisdom is based on your past experience. The average person has no business thinking they are free in any way, you can not control your desires, emotions. Your past has an enormous influence, all your thoughts are based on your experience and the languages you use. I repeat: Free will is an illusion designed by the mind to fuel self pity. So just let go.
Sexuality is something deeper than just hormonal stuff. Actual sexuality does not change. And it's not able to be changed. And it is never chosen. It just ends up a certain way. The exact cause is unknown, but it's either in genes or epigenetics and environmental stuff or things like that, but definitely not anything controllable!
No, people do not choose their sexual orientation. Rather, sexual orientation likely comes about through matters of genetics, with some influence of a social environment. Individuals are simply born to be of one persuasion or another, but whether or not that persuasion gets expressed can depend upon the upbringing of that individual. For example, a gay person who was brought up to believe that homosexuality is wrong may identify as straight out of shame.
Sexual orientation is not a choice. We cannot always help who we are attracted to. We hardly ever think of heterosexuals consciously choosing to live a straight lifestyle. This would mean that we must recognize that straight people COULD be gay if they wanted to. I doubt that many people would think that makes much sense. Sexual orientation is determined, probably, by a mixture of genes and environment. It is not a choice.
While environmental factors may play some role in sexual identification, study after study has shown that people do not choose their sexual orientation. Just as you don't choose your favorite color or food, you don't choose what gender you prefer to have attraction to. There are many theories as to why people prefer what they do, but it is not known precisely how it works. Nonetheless, any notion that sexual orientation has any choice is nonsense.
Sexual orientation is something you are born with. While some people chose to fight it or do not realize their true orientation until later in their lives, no one chooses what is in their head as their orientation no more than anyone chooses which gender they feel they are or what their natural hair color is.
I believe that each person is born with a set sexual orientation. It is then your choice rather or not you act on those desires. It is a choice to come out and accept your sexual orientation. Rather or not you remain in the closet, is your choice. However, you do not choose your sexual orientation.

Since this blog has been off line for about three almost four weeks I should update you the reader on my school work. I am still taking two law courses and one mathematics course at Carleton University.
One of the law courses is a drug law course and I have completed about 30% of the work for this course. I have put in about 30 hours outside of the class room for this course so far on those assignments that are completed. I have also put in another amount of hours on my term paper. I have also put in about 1 hour for every class room hour reading the weekly readings. I have only missed one class in this drug law course because of night shift hours messing up my schedule. This was last week.
In my other law course I have been reading widely but most concentrating on getting one particular book read completely. I have about 13 pages written in a 60 page paper. I am thinking today of withdrawing from this course for next term.
In my math course in numerical analysis which was a real test case course because it has two 8:30 am classes a week I have done so so. I mean at first I made all my classes and scored poorly on assignments. By now I have missed about four classes and my marks have come up considerably back to an honours level. I enjoy the lectures and can interact well with the professor in the classroom. I also seem fairly good at MATLAB programming. I did get a copy of MATLAB for my home use. I have my fifth assignment due tomorrow and will be doing it tonight but have already started fifty percent of the work. I don't put a lot of outside the classroom work into this math course but that could change by the exam and end of term.Posted by petert at November 18, 2004 09:14 PM

N G I S C Chicago Meeting, May 20, 1998
CHAIRMAN JAMES: Cheri O'Niones.
MS. O'NIONES: Good afternoon. My name is Cheri O'Niones. I'm an employee of Majestic Star casino in Gary. I work in the food and beverage department and I'm a member of HERE and proud of both accomplishments. I worked construction for over ten years and probably collected unemployment for at least two years. I had to travel far from my son and my home to work. When work was good, it was great. When there wasn't work, it was a struggle.
I have been working at the Majestic Star since day one. I have excellent insurance for my son and I and I know exactly what my schedule will be. Working conditions are favorable to everybody in my department and we make a competitive wage. We have to thank our union for all our bonuses.
I've seen a great improvement in the city in which I live and work, Gary, Indiana. We have seen major clean ups in all aspects of living there. We have more law enforcement and code enforcers now than we have ever had in the past. The casinos have created more jobs for residents of all ages and races than I've ever seen before. The casinos have created a chance for a better life and future for thousands of people. It has been an economic boost for everybody. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN JAMES: Thank you.

It was 75 years ago today that America's incredibly stupid experiment in alcohol prohibition finally ended:
Prohibition was the pièce de résistance of the early 20th-century progressive's grand social engineering agenda. It failed, of course. Miserably.
It did reduce overall consumption of alcohol in the U.S., but that reduction came largely among those who consumed alcohol responsibly. The actual harm caused by alcohol abuse was made worse, thanks to the economics of prohibitions.
Black market alcohol was of dubious origin, unregulated by market forces. The price premium that attaches to banned substances made the alcohol that made it to consumers more potent and more dangerous. And, of course, organized crime rose and flourished thanks to the new market created by the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act.
So hospitalizations related to alcohol soared. And so did violent crime. Corruption flourished, as law enforcement officials in charge of enforcing prohibition went on the take, from beat cops all the way up to the office of the United States Attorney General. Even the U.S. Senate had a secret, illegal stash of booze for its members and their staffs.
In 1924, the great social critic H.L. Mencken wrote of prohibition:
Five years of Prohibition have had, at least, this one benign effect: they have completely disposed of all the favourite arguments of the Prohibitionists. None of the great boons and usufructs that were to follow the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment has come to pass. There is not less drunkenness in the Republic, but more. There is not less crime, but more. There is not less insanity, but more. The cost of government is not smaller, but vastly greater. Respect for law has not increased, but diminished.
When he first visited the United States in 1921, Albert Einstein wrote of America's ban on booze: "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law … For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced."
As in many other things, Einstein was wise in this observation.
So, go out and celebrate the end of of a stupid experiment by having a drink on me !

I have 4 dropdown lists adjacent to eachother that are only visible depending on the value of the preceeding dropdown. The dropdowns contain information relating to injuries and the plan is to make the users choose items from the dropdown list to define their injuries.
- The first dropdown defines what kind of injury (laceration, bruise, break etc...)
- The second defines where (arm, head, neck, finger)
- The third defines further detail (left, right, N/A)
- The last defines further detail again (upper, lower, N/A etc...)
I basically want a reset button that when clicked, resets the value's of these dropdowns to their initalvalue; '{Select}' (as i have a required field validator preventing '{Select'} from being the given value)
can someone please assist. I'd quite like the button to postback so that the change happens and the page refreshes and i need the validations to refresh also.
Alternatively is someone has a better approach feel free to let me know your thoughts. I don't have an current code as I haven't even been able to ge this working yet!
I have dropdown lists within formview edit template
DD1 is binded to a Data table called Country Version p/k = CountryId of type "Int"
DD2 is binded to Size Table p/k = SizeId of type Int and Foreign key of CountryId
The select Method of DD2 is "GetDatabyCountryID" which accepts selected value of DD1.
The problem is on postback I the DD1 reverts back to defualt settings and does not keep the selections
I made (for example countryId "1" SizeId "3"
It seems that the Select Method GetDataByCountryId cannot find the SelectedValue of DD1
In the formview objectdatasource I have CountryId and SizeId from another table called profiles.
any advise appreciated
I'm trying to create a page with multiple fields to be used as parameters for filtering a GridView. I'm using a combination of two asp:dropdown lists and two check boxes. When I select a value in one ddl, I want to clear the value in the other ddl. I was trying to use the event "onTextChanged" but that doesn't seem to fire off on the client side and I cannot seem to find any event for an asp:ddl or asp:checkbox or asp:radio button that fires off on the client side.
Are there events, like onClientClick for asp:button, that fire on the client side for these controls when a selected value is changed or when the user clicks on them?
or do I need to use html controls instead?
Thanks for your help.
i have two dropdown lists and i would like if i select lets say "1" the second list returns "A""B" but instead it returns "A" only
so the question is how to make the second list display A"B when i select "1" from the first list
thank you
My first try with Ajax, followed step by step an example and i get in my dropdownlists "[Method Error 12030]"
I changed the script manager and used ToolkitScriptManager
<form id="RegisterForm" runat="server">
<asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="MyToolkitScriptManager" runat="server"></asp:ToolkitScriptManager>
The dropdown:
<asp:Label ID="CitizenshipLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="Citizenship">Select citizenship:</asp:Label> <asp:DropDownList ID="Citizenship" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList> <asp:CascadingDropDown ID="CitizenshipCascade" runat="server" TargetControlID="Citizenship" LoadingText="Retrieving citizenships..."
Hi, i have over 100 items all loaded in a dropdown list. They all are assigned a value between 1-10 which represent 10 categories.
When certain buttons are clicked, i want the dropdown list to display only items with a value "1" or "2", etc.
How can this be done?
Hi all,
I have a number of dropdown lists which are populated from a database. They load depending on what the previous dropdown selection was so for example if the system was car based and I had chosen Ford then the next dropdown list would populate all cars made only by Ford. What I'm wanting to do is add a select all to one of the dropdown lists. Does anyone know how this would be done?
I have several dropdown lists and each one is populated from a database depending on what was selected in the dropdown before. I have appended certain ones to have a select all. I've the selected index changed to handle these. All of this works fine when I carry out one search in the same session however when I go to carry out a second search in the same session and I choose another option, instead of displaying only the related items in the second dropdown it adds them at the bottom of the list underneath what was chosen in the last search.
Anyone have any ideas what is causing this? I'm guessing it is something to do with how the page refreshes after the search button has been clicked and the results displayed in the grid.
I am sure similar questions have been asked before...but:
I have a repeating table with 2 DDLs...let's say: state and city
city is currently sourced from web service which takes the value of the state as parameter.
I allow a user to add a new row in the repeating table to select another state ; and thus return related cities on the same row as the state..and so on...
The obvious question is: is that achievable without code-behind? I have read about people using "current()" but it all seem to apply to the filter data which does not work for browser-enabled form....so should I use Web services at all?
Thanks in advance.
I have 2 DropDownLists and a Button on a simple aspx page. connecting to an oracle database. The 1st DropDownList1 gets filled on page load.
When I select an item from the DropDownList1 the 2nd DropDownList2 get populated with the related records.
Here is the problem
The 1st DropDownList1 looses its selected item and moves the selection to the 1st item in the list.
here is the code for aspx page.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="test.aspx.cs" Inherits="test" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transit
I have the following string which is a list of urls. How do I get this to work so the url shows for the selection and also is the value?
allLinks = newAllLinks
Me.DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Link"
Me.DropDownList1.DataValueField = "LinkURL"
Me.DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, New ListItem(" - Select - ", 0))
Me.DropDownList1.DataSource = allLinks

New Delhi, Jun 28 (PTI) The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs chaired by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, will meet tomorrow to decide the schedule of the Monsoon session, which is expected to start in the third week of July.
The session comes at a time when the ruling BJPs morale is high after its maiden victory in Assam Assembly polls and its performance in Kerala and West Bengal elections.
The session is also taking place a month after the Modi government completed two years in power, saying that the country is changing under the dispensation.
There are indications that the session will start on July 18 and continue till August 13 but a final decision on the dates will be taken tomorrow.
45 bills are pending in Rajya Sabha. Lok Sabha has 5 bills pending before it.
The bills pending in Rajya Sabha include the contentious Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-second Amendment) Bill, 2014, known as the GST Bill, which was moved in the Upper House in August last year after being passed by Lok Sabha.
The government is hopeful of the passage of the GST bill in this session amid indications that a number of regional parties have broken ranks with Congress on the issue and are willing to extend their support to this crucial economic reform measure.
Another key bill is the Whistle Blowers Protection (Amendment) Bill, 2015, which was moved in December last year but the discussion on it had remained inconclusive.
In the Budget session this year, this bill could not be taken up.
In Lok Sabha, important bills pending include the Consumer Protection Bill 2015 and the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Bill, 2015.
The government will also push for clearing a bill, which seeks to replace an Ordinance to amend the Enemy Property Act as well as a bill to replace the Ordinance on the National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test (NEET).
The last few sessions of Parliament have seen sparrings even though the second part of the Budget session recorded a relative improvement as far the completion of government business was concerned. But the problem of pending bills is not limited to the two years of the NDA government. PTI AMR NAB SC

Inspired by the Teddy-Boys of the 1950s, the rock-a-billy platforms come in two styles, 'Jupiter' (pictured) and 'Thunderbolt', in a technicolour array of leathers and suede. They're set to be the shoe of the season, with Kate Moss, Alexa Chung and Chloe Sevigny all already on the waiting list, and they'll sit perfectly next to autumn's little black dresses and bad girl wardrobe.
The shoes will be launching with Liberty's new shoe floor in October and will cost around £595. We predict a hefty waiting list so make sure you get in there fast!
