Robin Drevet      ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>VIH, Sida, homosexualité et suicide: quand la publicité nous marginalise</strong></p>
<p><strong>Robin Drevet                     Dossier <a title="homosexualité, homos, gay, homosexuel" href="http://journaldelarue.wordpress.com/category/homosexualite/">homosexualité</a> Dossier <a title="VIH-Sida, HIV, aids, sida, MTS,ITS" href="http://www.refletdesociete.com/MTS-Sida.html">VIH-Sida</a></strong></p>
<p>En prenant le métro ce matin, j’ai été interloqué par une publicité affichée sur les murs. On y voit pas grand chose par contre on peut y lire : test <strong>VIH</strong> gratuit, résultat en 30 minutes pour les hommes <em>gays</em>.</p>
<p><a title="homosexualité, homosexuel, gay, homos" href="http://journaldelarue.wordpress.com/category/homosexualite/" target="_blank"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;margin:5px 10px 5px 0;" src="http://journaldelarue.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/544248-45834745.jpg" border="0" alt="544248_45834745" width="159" height="159" align="left" /></a> Je me suis senti mal devant cette pub et le message qu’elle peut transmettre, en particulier avec l’histoire du <strong>SIDA</strong> telle qu’on la connaît.</p>
<p>Lorsque l’on découvre le <strong>SIDA</strong> dans les années 80 (ou du moins la maladie), les médias la surnomme le cancer <em>gay</em>, pendant longtemps la population pense que cette maladie concerne uniquement les <em>homosexuels</em>.</p>
<p>On associe rapidement ces <em>pratiques sexuelles</em> et la <em>toxicomanie</em> (une des sources de transmission du virus), la défense de ce groupe s’organise vite en particulier avec Act Up et d’autres organisations, elles dénoncent le retour d’un moralisme des conservateurs qui jugent que la maladie est un cancer qui punirait les homosexuels !</p>
<p>Mais le mal est fait, et encore aujourd’hui le <strong>SIDA</strong> est souvent assimilé à la population <em>homosexuelle</em>. Cette stigmatisation a rendu compliquée la vie de nombreuses personnes et de nombreux jeunes se retrouvent avec une difficulté supplémentaire lors de leur Coming Out (annonce à son entourage de son <em>homosexualité</em>) avec des parents inquiets de voir leur progéniture tomber malade.</p>
<p>Il est vrai que lorsque la maladie s’est déclarée, la communauté <em>homosexuelle</em> a été touchée plus durement, et la cause est les moeurs de la communauté qui a une tendance à pratiquer leur <em>sexualité</em> avec de nombreux partenaires. Pourtant on remarque que la sensibilisation a été rapide dans ce milieu et que l’épidémie a vite régressé pour s’étendre à la population hétérosexuelle et en dehors de la <em>sexualité</em> (<em>toxicomanie</em>).</p>
<p>Et c’est aujourd’hui que l’on remarque que cette stigmatisation a été mauvaise  autant pour les <em>gays </em>que pour les autres, car la sensibilisation dans les milieux hétéros et <em>toxicomanes</em> est beaucoup plus faible, il y a seulement peu de temps que les pharmacies (du moins en France) fournissent des kits sains <a title="homosexualité, homosexuel, homos, gay" href="http://journaldelarue.wordpress.com/category/homosexualite/"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;margin:5px 10px 5px 0;" src="http://journaldelarue.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/565244-76738308.jpg" border="0" alt="565244_76738308" width="205" height="159" align="right" /></a>(aiguille et <em>seringue</em> propre et <em>préservatif</em>), peu de temps que l’on voit des campagnes de sensibilisation pour les hétéros.</p>
<p>Je ne dis pas que les <em>homos</em> sont devenus sains et fiables mais connaissant bien cette communauté, je n’en ai pas rencontré un seul qui ne sache pas les moyens de transmissions, ce qui est fréquent parmi mes connaissances hétérosexuelles.</p>
<p>Alors lorsque je vois des publicités proposant les tests de dépistages gratuits pour les <em>homosexuels</em>, j’aimerai savoir ce que pense un gamin de 14 ou 15 ans qui voient cette affiche dans le métro, dont les connaissances sur la maladie sont plus que vagues :</p>
<p>- S'il est hétéro, ce sera “cool apparemment cela ne me concerne pas vraiment.”</p>
<p>- S'il est <em>homo</em>, ce sera “comment annoncer à mes parents que je suis <em>homosexuel</em>, est ce une maladie?”</p>
<p>On demande encore aujourd’hui pourquoi en France plus d’1/3 des suicides sont liées à l’orientation sexuelle ? C’est vrai ça, pourquoi ??</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We went back to the room so I could change for the reception dinner after the wedding.  I'm getting ready and then realize that I DIDN'T BRING MY BLACK BRA.  I decided to try on the other bra I was wearing and Alicia laughed as soon as I came out of the bathroom so I figured that would be a 'no'.  Then I start crying because I can't wear my reception outfit.  Drama.  Since I don't know where the fuck I am, I call the concierge to see where I can buy a bra and then I hear what heaven sounds like.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Concierge</span> Jesus:  Thank you for calling Whatever Whenever.  How can I help you Mrs. Damon? </p>
<p>Me:  Umm.. I forgot my bra at home, and I need to find one in a hurry.  Do you know where there is a store nearby?</p>
<p>Jesus:  Sure, there is blah blah blah blah blah.</p>
<p>Me:  Uh...  Okay, do you know if I can use the Whenever car?  My reception starts in an hour.  (They have a car with a driver you can book for free)</p>
<p>Jesus:  It's being used right now.  Mrs. Damon, if you'd like, we can get that for you.</p>
<p>Me:  What do you mean you can <em>get that</em> for me?</p>
<p>Jesus:  I would be happy to send someone to go find you a bra.</p>
<p>Me:  Are you serious?!?!?!?!?   </p>
<p>Jesus:  Yes, there is a Fredericks of Hollywood nearby.</p>
<p>Me:  YEAH!  Go there!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Jesus:  Okay, Mrs. Damon, their bras start around the $75.00 range. </p>
<p>Me:  AHAHA.. where else can I get a bra?</p>
<p>Jesus:  We will find what you need.</p>
<p>Me:  Okay, I need a black 36<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">ABCD</span>, push up, underwire and I think that's it.</p>
<p>30 minutes later I get a knock on my door, and this poor white guy with an afro whips out a Victoria's Secret bag with my bra inside.  BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!  I felt like Oprah - I wanted to live there and never leave after that.  Didn't happen.</p>

<p>Alicia only eats chicken, carbs, cheese and pasta.  She ordered a side of fried rice and lo mein.  Nerd</p>
<p><a href="http://briannethegreat.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/hahaha.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-482" title="hahaha" src="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/hahaha.jpg?w=460" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></p>

<p>Alicia got this really cool tea.  They put the bud in, and then it slowly blooms into a flower.  I wonder if anyone got tired of hearing me say, "OMG!  That's the stuff Marie Antoinette would drink." </p>

<p>There is a story about this pic.  Sue was outside smoking and then saw us taking a group picture and jumped in really quick.  Well the people to the right of us were appalled for a sec., because they didn't realize she was with us.</p>

<p>I haven't been to very many weddings, so when it was time to light the unity candle I broke out into a cold sweat because I had no idea WTF I was doing.  I just copied Sue. </p>

<p>This is where I tell everyone not to fuck up the marriage license, because it's like $15.00 an error. </p>

<p>Whenever I learn how to put videos on here, I will include one of our wedding.  You will get to see the part where the song we picked out prior to the wedding was supposed to play, but the stereo stuff was malfunctioning.  I'm like whatever no big deal, I don't care about the song anyway.  But then, as a special SURPRISE the minister busts out with this old pre 1900's song, and I'm like where THE FUCK did that come from?  The look on our faces is the best part of the wedding.</p>

<p>Every time I see this pic, it reminds me of Ferris Bueller's Day Off where they're staring at the art in the museum.  Epic. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been thinking and I feel a little robbed.  Everyone has all of these cool ethnicities and here I am some mutt living in Texas with no culture.  I guess I just feel a little left out, because we have all of these old photos hanging up in our living room of Sue's ancestors (which I will share later).  </p>
<p>My dad was always big on the 'we are German' thing, and I know we're German, there's no denying that.  Most of Eastern Texas is of German decent, and there is tons of influence from the Germans here.  Where do you think we got chicken fried steak and chili?  One time we went to our first and last family reunion on my PawPaw's (grandpa) side of the family, and they had this book with all of this crap on our ancestors.  Supposedly, we escaped here to flee the wrath of the Nazis because we were helping the Jews in some sort of way.   Which totally sounds right, because I am always that 'we have to do something to help them!!!' person.   We changed our German name, and made it the more socially acceptable 'Damon'. </p>
<p>My Nana (grandma) is coonass, and Native American.  I don't know the proper word for coonass, because that is the answer I always heard when I asked my dad what my nana was.  So there ya go.  Oh, and here's what Wiki had to say about it:</p>
<h5><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coonass">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coonass</a></h5>
<h5>Coonass, or Coon-ass, is an <a title="Epithet" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Epithet">epithet</a> used in reference to a person of <a title="Cajun" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Cajun">Cajun</a> ethnicity.</h5>
<h5>Although some Cajuns use the word in regard to themselves, other Cajuns view the term as an <a class="mw-redirect" title="Ethnic slur" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Ethnic_slur">ethnic slur</a> against the Cajun people, especially when used by non-Cajuns. Socioeconomic factors appear to influence how Cajuns are likely to view the term: working-class Cajuns tend to regard the word "coonass" as a badge of ethnic pride; whereas middle- and upper-class Cajuns are more likely to regard the term as insulting or degrading, even when used by fellow Cajuns in reference to themselves.<a href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wp-admin/#cite_note-Bernard2003p138-0">[1]</a> (In <a title="Sociolinguistics" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Sociolinguistics">Sociolinguistics</a>, this type of behavior is termed <a title="Prestige dialect" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Prestige_dialect">covert prestige</a>.)</h5>
<p>Basically I'm a German, an ethnic slur and a Native American.  Right on.</p>

<p>A <strong>faggot</strong> is a kind of meatball, a traditional dish in the <a title="United Kingdom" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/United_Kingdom">UK</a>,<sup class="reference"><a href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wp-admin/#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup><sup class="reference"><a href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wp-admin/#cite_note-1">[2]</a></sup> especially the <a title="West Midlands (county)" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/West_Midlands_(county)">Midlands</a> of <a title="England" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/England">England</a>.<sup class="reference"><a href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wp-admin/#cite_note-GBK-2">[3]</a></sup> It is made from meat off-cuts and <a title="Offal" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Offal">offal</a>, especially pork.<sup class="reference"><a href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wp-admin/#cite_note-GBK-2">[3]</a></sup> A faggot is traditionally made from pig heart, liver and fatty belly meat or bacon minced together, with herbs added for flavouring and sometimes breadcrumbs. The mixture is shaped in the hand into balls, wrapped round with <a title="Caul" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Caul">caul</a> (a membrane from the pig's abdomen), and baked. A similar dish, <em>almôndega</em>, is traditional in Portugal.</p>
<p>The first use in print cited in the <a class="mw-redirect" title="OED" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/OED">OED</a> is in 1851, from <a title="Thomas Mayhew" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Thomas_Mayhew">Thomas Mayhew</a>, although this appears to be a <a title="Calzone" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Calzone">calzone</a>- or pasty-like dish, with an outer wrapper of caul, covering a filling of mixed pork offal. This was in London.</p>
<p>The dish saw its greatest popularity with the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Rationing in the United Kingdom during and after World War II" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom_during_and_after_World_War_II">rationing during World War II</a> but has become less popular in recent years. Faggots are usually homemade and are to be found in traditional <a title="Butcher" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Butcher">butchers</a>' shops and market stalls.</p>
<p>A popular dish is "faggots and Peas". This is a common combination in the Black Country area of the <a title="West Midlands (county)" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/West_Midlands_(county)">West Midlands</a>, especially so since the 18th century industrialisation onwards, but also for hundreds of years prior. It is still common to see small butchers shops in the area selling Faggots to their own (sometimes secret) recipe for a cheap price. Commonly, the faggot consists of pork liver and heart minced, wrapped in kel, with onion and breadcrumbs. Often, the Faggot should be cooked in a <a title="Crock" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Crock">crock</a>, with gravy and served with peas and mashed potato.</p>
<p>Faggots are also known as "ducks" in the <a title="West Midlands (county)" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/West_Midlands_(county)">Midlands</a>, <a title="Yorkshire" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Yorkshire">Yorkshire</a> and <a title="Lancashire" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Lancashire">Lancashire</a>, often as "savoury ducks". "In <a title="Leigh, Greater Manchester" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Leigh,_Greater_Manchester">Leigh</a> market in 1905 you could buy a savoury duck rolled up in an oatmeal cake."</p>
<p>The best-known commercial brand is Mr Brain's Faggots, a <a title="Frozen food" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Frozen_food">frozen food</a> product available in <a title="United Kingdom" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/United_Kingdom">Britain</a> and <a title="Ireland" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Ireland">Ireland</a>, which is made of <a title="Liver" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Liver">liver</a> and <a title="Onion" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Onion">onions</a> rolled into <a class="mw-redirect" title="Meatballs" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Meatballs">meatballs</a> and served in a sauce. These faggots differ significantly from the traditional recipe.</p>
<p>Pictures of the product are a popular joke in some Western countries due to <a class="mw-redirect" title="Faggot (epithet)" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Faggot_(epithet)">additional meanings</a> of the name. Faggots were used as the subject of an infamous 2004 radio advert by the UK supermarket chain <a class="mw-redirect" title="Somerfield (UK Retailer)" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Somerfield_(UK_Retailer)">Somerfield</a><a class="external autonumber" title="http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/obb/adv_comp/a13/a13.pdf" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/obb/adv_comp/a13/a13.pdf">[1]</a>. The commercial featured a husband challenging his wife's repetitive routine of a set meal for each day of the week. While he wanted <a class="mw-redirect" title="Lasagne" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Lasagne">lasagne</a>, he was told that, as it was Friday, he was to have faggots. He responded: "I've nothing against faggots, I just don't fancy them." This advert was subsequently deemed to have breached the rules on Good Taste, Decency and Offence to Public Feeling of the Advertising and Sponsorship Code, and was banned from future re-broadcast by the industry regulator, <a title="Ofcom" href="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/wiki/Ofcom">Ofcom</a>.</div>

<p>Look at Sue's cute little hands. </p>

<p>Did I do 'roids before the wedding?  Look at those veins popping out on my hand.  It must've been nerves -- literally -- AHAHA I kill me. </p>
<p><a href="http://briannethegreat.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/crying.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-431" title="crying" src="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/crying.jpg?w=460" alt="" width="460" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>We wrote each other a special message and then e-mailed it to the minister before the wedding.  Then she read it to us and it lead to lots and lots of Kleenex.  I love my Sue Sue.</p>
<p><a href="http://briannethegreat.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/laugh2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-432" title="laugh2" src="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/laugh2.jpg?w=460" alt="" width="460" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>Everyone was asked to say something about the ridiculously hot couple and this is where my best friend says she doesn't know Susan that well, but she is by far the best person I've ever been with and boy have I dated A LOT of women.  Thanks, Leech.  I can always count on you to call me out and tell me I'm a slut (even at my wedding).  HAHA</p>
<p><a href="http://briannethegreat.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/kiss.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-433" title="kiss" src="http://briannethegreat.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/kiss.jpg?w=460" alt="" width="460" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>Then the minister let me slip her the tongue.  I get to sleep next to this insanely hot woman every night.  I guess she doesn't know how much money I don't make.  We will keep this between us.</p>

Pris: Nærtakst<br />
Målgruppe: Ungdom<br />
Funksjon: Unge homofile svarer på spørsmål om homofili, forelskelse, identitet og sikrere sex. Innringer kan være anonym, telefonnummeret kommer heller ikke på telefonregningen. Drives av ungdomsgruppa i Oslo, Landsforeningen for Lesbisk og Homofil frigjøring.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Unge homofile hjelper unge</h2>
<p>Homofiles ungdomstelefon består av frivillige unge homofile og lesbiske man kan ringe for å snakke om identitet, forelskelse og seksualitet.</p>
<p>- Mellom oss og innringerne finnes ingen profesjonell barriere, sier koordinator Jan Bakke.</p>
<p>De er seks faste og fire ekstravakter som gratis tar et tak ved Homofiles ungdomstelefon. Alle er unge. Og alle er homofile eller lesbiske.</p>
<p>Koordinator Jan Bakke tror telefonvaktenes unge alder og at de selv er homofile gjør det lettere for ungdom å ta kontakt.</p>
<p>Der egne erfaringer eller kunnskaper stopper, henviser de innringerne dit kompetansen finnes. Det kan være psykolog. Det kan være lege.</p>
<p>- Vi skiller oss fra de andre hjelpetelefonene fordi telefonvaktenes egne erfaringer er kilde til råd og hjelp, sier koordinator Jan Bakke. - Dessuten er vi er den eneste telefonen som retter seg spesielt mot homofile og lesbiske.</p>
<p>Hovedtyngden av de 300 telefonene som Homofiles ungdomstelefon besvarer hver måned, dreier seg om hiv og aids. På tross av at innringerne er vokst opp med aidstrusselen og en konstant informasjonsstrøm om sykdommen, dreier de fleste aidsspørsmålene seg om smitteveier og frykt for å ha blitt smittet.</p>
<p>- Disse telefonene kommer gjerne fra folk som har oppsøkt risikosituasjoner. Vår oppgave er først å berolige. Deretter opplyse og gi råd.</p>
<p>- Vi opplever at mange innringere engster seg vel mye for nettopp aids. Det er jo andre kjønnssykdommer, som gonoré, som smitter lettere. Men engstelsen er vel et uttrykk for hysteriet som har vært om aids. - Samtidig trengs det fortsatt informasjon. Det er en god del unge homofile som har distanse til aids. De føler at sykdommen tilhørte forrige generasjon og at det ikke er en trussel som angår dem, sier Bakke.</p>
<p>Som landsdekkende støtte- og informasjonstelefon har Homofiles ungdomstelefon operert i to år. Telefonvaktene velges ut ved intervju og alle som er på jobb skal være kurset i sikrere sex og samtaleteknikk. Alle telefonvaktene må skrive under på en taushetserklæring.</p>
<p>Telefonen retter seg mot aldersgruppa 13-26 år. De fleste innringerne er i gruppen 19-22 år. Litt flere gutter enn jenter tar kontakt. <strong>Tlf: 810 00 277</strong></p>
<p><strong>(Jeg tar forbehold om at feil telefonnummer KAN være feil oppgitt på sidene jeg har funnet dem)</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[I believe that god can be just as well a woman as a man. I love women therefore if I have to love go]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I believe that god can be just as well a woman as a man. I love women therefore if I have to love god then I rather have that it is a woman. But in the bible god is always described as a man, that has lead to that men take all important religious positions. I find that dishonest. Women must also be able to reach high religious positions. For this reason I propose a woman pope. But not only that, I want that women can get power just like men on all religious positions. That has lead to the eventual proposal the womenchurch.</p>
<p><strong>The womenchurch is meant for men and women.</strong></p>
<p>The womenchurch is based on the belief that <em>Adam and Eve were god</em> and their posterity therefore also, according to this belief god is love between two people, and the ultime expression of it is community. God reaches life/manifistates itself with a relation between two individuals who care for each other in good and bad times, can forgive each other, understand each other, persuade each other, accept each other, etc.</p>
<p>I say that Adam and Eve were god with a number of reasons:</p>
<p>At 1st: Equal treatment of men and women, not that god is only a man and therefore men may proclaim the belief and women may not, I am for example in favor of a woman priest, pope, imam, rabbi, etc.<br />
At 2nd: I find that you are best of when you believe in yourself and with the declaration believing that Adam and Eve were god it means that god is in yourself.<br />
At 3rd: Adam and Eve are the ultime expression of god, god is in everything, but not everthing can decide for itself, Adam and Eve however could, they had the ultimate freedom to choose.<br />
At 4th: From the belief that Adam and Eve were god and their posterity therefore also, it means that there is only one human ras.<br />
At 5th: Adam and Eve are models for love and fertility, people may identify themselves with Adam and Eve. Basically, every man should find its Eve and every woman should find its Adam. But, since Adam and Eve were god, and therefore also the posterity of them. I thereby state that Adam/Adam or Eve/Eve relations are divine as well, besides the fact that they cannot reproduce, I do not dissapprove these realtionships. The freedom to choose stands very firm with me.</p>
<p>From my belief; Adam and Eve were god, it follows that we people are all gods, I call this movement homotheism.</p>
<p>human is god<br />
god is human</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mihaiursu.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/smoking-cartoon-2-cop-in-bar1.gif"><img src="http://mihaiursu.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/smoking-cartoon-2-cop-in-bar1.gif?w=460" alt="" title="smoking-cartoon-2-cop-in-bar1" width="460" height="337" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-762" /></a></p>
<p>Revenim, deci, la subiectul principal al zilei: prigonirea fumătorilor, cetăţeni nu model, dar la fel de buni şi la fel de răi ca toţi ceilalţi, care mai au ceva în plus: vor să îşi petreacă o parte a timpului contemplînd rotocoale de fum de tutun. Pentru că asta le place. Pentru că ştiu ce aleg şi nu vor să îi ia statul de idioţi incapabili să decidă pentru ei înşişi. Pentru că sînt conştienţi de riscuri, dar acceptă că nu vor trăi o eternitate, oricum. </p>
<p>Pentru că o viaţă trăită doar de dragul de a o trăi nu are nici un farmec. Pentru că şi ăia care fac yoga, mănîncă doar tărîţe fierte şi beau numai apă plată neîncepută, binecuvîntată şi descîntată, fără ioni negativi, pot avea ghinionul să moară la 30 de ani călcaţi de o maşină. Aşa cum, de exemplu, se poate ca fumătorii să trăiască aproape centenar, precum proful meu de latină din generală, care a trăit activ şi a predat pînă aproape de 80 de ani, deşi suda BT necartonat ţigară de la ţigară, de i se îngălbeniseră degetele.</p>
<p><a href="http://mihaiursu.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/nazi_smoking1.gif"><img src="http://mihaiursu.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/nazi_smoking1.gif" alt="" title="nazi_smoking1" width="204" height="209" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-764" /></a></p>
<p>Cum este posibil, în mileniul ăsta, să fii arătat cu degetul, înjurat, numit intolerant şi înapoiat dacă te iei - un nou exemplu la întîmplare - de homosexuali, dar să fii aplaudat şi premiat dacă îi faci pe fumătorii de tutun albie de porci? Cum se poate ca, în mileniul ăsta, toate minorităţile să fie încurajate să îşi exprime diversitatea, să se întreacă unii în ozosepi şi gulaş, alţii în silicoane păroase, să poată exista legal inclusiv asociaţii de pedofili, dar fumătorii să fie scoşi în stradă, ca nişte ciumaţi?</p>
<p><a href="http://mihaiursu.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/finally-a-smoke-free-bar.jpg"><img src="http://mihaiursu.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/finally-a-smoke-free-bar.jpg" alt="" title="finally-a-smoke-free-bar" width="400" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-769" /></a></p>
<p>Am făcut o antiteză en passant ceva mai jos între consumatorii de heroină şi fumători şi am sentimentul că merită exploatată un pic mai mult. </p>
<p>În urmă cu vreo şase ani, cînd lucram la Prima TV în calitate de reporter special, fac eroarea să vin în redacţie cu o ştire despre niscaiva consumatori convinşi de heroină, prinşi în flagrant de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigada_Special%C4%83_de_Interven%C5%A3ie_a_Jandarmeriei">Brigada Specială de Intervenţie a Jandarmeriei</a>, unde comandant, pe atunci, era nimeni altul decît <a href="http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucian_Pahon%C5%A3u">generalul Pahonţu</a>. Material exclusiv, cu alergătură şi circ, cu cătuşe şi tot restul ingredientelor care, în 2002, încă erau inedite şi făceau rating. Boon. </p>
<p><a href="http://mihaiursu.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/jandarmi2.jpg"><img src="http://mihaiursu.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/jandarmi2.jpg" alt="" title="jandarmi2" width="280" height="210" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-773" /></a></p>
<p>Şi, dintre toţi editorii de la televiziune, în ziua respectivă se nimerise la serviciu ăl mai sclifosit, mai talentat, mai dăruit de Dumnezeu omenirii de editor, cu boală grea pe tot ce poartă uniformă, editor căruia eu trebuia să îi ridic subiectul la fileu. Nu contează cum îl cheamă, oricum e un nimeni. <em>"Cu ce e ştirea ta, Ursule?"</em> catadicseşte pretinul să îmi adreseze de la augusta sa înălţime adăpostită în subsolul Prima TV.<em> "Cu nişte drogaţi prinşi în flagrant cînd băgau în venă"</em>, i-am rezumat eu subiectul în mai puţin de 12 cuvinte, aşa cum cere BBC. </p>
<p>Şi în clipa aia s-a terminat cu şmecheria. A urmat o lecţie de morală de vreo oră, în care mi-a explicat băiatul ăla şcolit pe la tot felul de instituţii de mass media din Occident că bieţii consumatori de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin">heroină </a>sînt nişte <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victim">victime</a>, că e de ajuns o singură dată să bagi în venă heroină şi eşti prins în capcana dealerilor, care o singură greşeală aşteaptă de la tine. Era să mă stoarcă de lacrimi cînd mi-a spus cît e de greu să fii dependent de halucinogene, cum şi el, recent, fusese pus de dentist pe <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novocain">novocaină</a>, la o operaţie (în care mai bine îi extrăgea limba spurcată, hahaha!) şi cum simţea că ar fi ucis pentru încă o doză, atunci cînd efectul substanţei s-a dus. </p>
<p><a href="http://mihaiursu.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/book175-a.jpg"><img src="http://mihaiursu.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/book175-a.jpg" alt="" title="book175-a" width="341" height="482" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-760" /></a></p>
<p>Una peste alta, eu eram nedrept cu ei, sărmanii consumatori de heroină care furau, spărgeau şi dădeau în cap ca să mai facă bani de o bilă. În opinia colegului meu distins şi european, eu le trăgeam o flegmă de la înălţimea poziţiei mele de jurnalist unor oameni pe care ar fi trebuit să îi ajut, să fac o poveste despre suferinţa lor, în loc să îi laud pe jandarmi - nişte nenorociţi de gabori, în opinia lui ilustră - că îi prind şi îi bagă la zdup. Deci nu a intrat deloc ştirea.</p>
<p><a href="http://mihaiursu.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/nazi1a.gif"><img src="http://mihaiursu.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/nazi1a.gif" alt="" title="nazi1a" width="197" height="275" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-758" /></a></p>
<p>Acelaşi cetăţean, în drum spre ieşire, a trecut prin locul de fumat - care atunci reprezenta cam toată redacţia Prima TV. Şi, tolerantul, compasionatul şi înţelegătorul de mai devreme a început o diatribă sălbatică împotriva fumătorilor, care ar trebui scoşi dracului în curte, să nu îi mai polueze lui aerul. Băiatul care aproape vărsase lacrimi mai devreme pentru consumatorii de heroină care fură, le vînd părinţilor din casă tot ce au ca să le umple buzunarele traficanţilor, se metamorfozase într-un inchizitor care spumega şi înfiera, care le găsise vină pentru toate necazurile societăţii fumătorilor de tutun, plătitori de taxe, accize, impozite, angajaţi la patron, membri ai segmentului activ din populaţie, creatori de <a href="http://plusvaloare.vocabular.net/">plusvaloare</a>.</p>
<p>Cu o altă ocazie, un coleg homosexual, mereu gata să se lupte pentru drepturile celor ca el, un coleg pe care l-am admirat întotdeauna pentru curaj, inteligenţă, îndîrjire şi voinţă, a dat cu mucii în fasole rău de tot. Se întîmpla să fim într-un restaurant din România, în salonul de fumători, cînd numai ce aud o voce nazală cu accent ardelenesc că protestează la ţigara mea. Şi la ţigările altor colegi care, la şpriţul consumat împreună, şi-au aprins şi cîte un tutun. <em>"Di ce nu ieşiţ voi afară cu ţigările alia, de-mi poluaţi mie aierul? Cum nu vinie ia Uniunia Ieuropiană sî vă scuată pi tăţ afară care fumaţi?"</em> a început să se isterizeze bezmetic prietenul. </p>
<p><a href="http://mihaiursu.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/gay_wedding_lo-713823.gif"><img src="http://mihaiursu.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/gay_wedding_lo-713823.gif" alt="" title="gay_wedding_lo-713823" width="275" height="425" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-771" /></a></p>
<p>Nimeni nu i-a zis nimic, deşi noi, fumătorii, l-am înjurat, dar numai în gînd, aşa, tolerant. În schimb, ia imaginaţi-vă cum ar fi fost să se ridice unul, mai curajos, cu ceva băutură în plus la bord, şi să îi dea o replică despre homosexuali. Asta ar fi fost naşpa, discriminator, retrograd, intolerant şi ne-european, nu? </p>
<p>Ce au în comun cei doi băieţi despre care am povestit mai devreme? Ambii au istorie pe la BBC, prin Marea Britanie. Adică exact acolo unde fumătorii sînt persecutaţi mai ceva ca vrăjitoarele pe vremuri, pentru că nişte puritani liberali au reuşit să obţină nişte legi cam ca alea de purificare rasială date de Hitler, în anii 30. Pentru acelaşi scop declarat - "o societate mai bună" - oameni care nu au comis nici o faptă antisocială, care nu au luat nimănui de la gură, sînt arătaţi cu degetul şi trimişi în stradă, sînt denigraţi la televizor şi demonizaţi în ziare.</p>
<p>Ei bine, în Marea Britanie, acum e cool să fii homo, sînt legale inclusiv <a href="http://www.gay-friendly-wedding-venues.com/">căsătoriile gay</a>. În schimb, e naşpa să fii fumător, eşti privit ca un vierme, eşti trimis la ghena de gunoi să fumezi, în ploaie, pentru că nu ai voie printre oameni. Vi se pare drept? Fumătorii nu se iau de homosexuali să îi întrebe ce îşi bagă şi unde! Sînt convins că mulţi dintre cei care au votat pro căsătoriile gay în Marea Britanie sînt fumători care au considerat că e mai bine să tolereze pentru a fi toleraţi. </p>
<p><a href="http://mihaiursu.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/a_gay_wedding.jpg"><img src="http://mihaiursu.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/a_gay_wedding.jpg" alt="" title="a_gay_wedding" width="229" height="224" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-780" /></a></p>
<p>Deci în momentul de faţă poţi face sex cu acelaşi sex, chiar eşti încurajat. În şcolile occidentale poţi învăţa cu profesor despre orientările sexuale alternative, chiar de la vîrsta de 11 ani. În Marea Britanie, <em>"age of consent"</em>, adică vîrsta legală pentru a face sex cu o persoană, este de 16 ani pentru relaţiile homosexuale, deci poţi face sex gay cu un minor, ocrotit de sfînta lege. Dacă o iei pe heroină, nu-i problemă, există asociaţii caritabile care îţi fac rost de heroină moca, doar ca să nu mai mergi să o cumperi de la dealeri. Eşti ţinut în braţe, consiliat, tratat, psihanalizat, sfătuit, ajutat, asistat, călăuzit, consolat, reintegrat - nu eşti lăsat în drum. În drum e locul fumătorilor.</p>

<p><strong>Ultimul episod al serialului cu acelasi nume, lansat insa pe ecrane, dar cu 120 de minute mai lung !</strong> Cam atat ar fi de zis despre filmul asta. Doua ore juma in care se trage de timp la mare arta si se intampla fix ce se-ntampla in fiecare episod. Adica fiecare face exact ce facea si inainte, Samantha alearga dupa futaiuri, Miranda dupa cariera, Charlotte dupa viatza de familie si Carrie aia dupa pantofi si fuste de firma. A, si era sa uit, se cerata cu Big si se impaca la loc, deci nimic nou sub soare. Stiu ca sunt si femei care citesc blogul asta, asa ca habar nu am ce sa mai scriu despre filmul asta fara sa jignesc pe nimeni. Dar, filmul in sine e o jignire, adusa tuturor alora carora le placea cat de cat serialul. Am zis cat de cat, ca pt fanii pe viatza, o sa le placa si asta:)) Filmul se inversuneaza sa demonstreze ca exista si viata dupa 40 si ceva de ani, dar esueaza lamentabil in incercarea asta. In afara de Charlotte aia (la care nu se vede asa vizibil) au imbatranit toate, Jessica Parker arata aici (sanchi, ca nu numai aici) ca moartea fara machiaj, Samantha la 52 de ani e deja penibila in rolul respectiv, de fapt toate nu reusesc sa convinga pe nimeni. Eu inteleg ca s-au facut bani la greu cu serialul, pe asta s-au bazat cand le-au scos p'astea de la naftalina, si s-au gandit bine, ca filmul a scos bani calumea din gentzile femeilor........repet, ma abtin sa zic si din ce motive !!!!          <strong><a title="sex and the city" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDzGgaugb2s" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff6600;">VIEW TRAILER</span></a></strong></p>

<p>Has anyone seen that Blue Bell commercial where there is a piglet that  smiles?  I am in love.  I used to drop everything when it came on, but I haven't seen it in a while.  Probably my favorite commercial ever, which is saying a lot because I am way into commercials.  Actually, I take that back. </p>

<description><![CDATA[Hay conceptos que tienen cierto «duende» que impide que los olvidemos aún cuando están marcadame]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hay conceptos que tienen cierto «duende» que impide que los olvidemos aún cuando están marcadamente caducos. Expresiones como «<em>surgió por generación espontánea»</em> o <em>«tiene muy buen paladar para el vino»</em>, se han convertido con el tiempo en tópicos generalizados, a pesar de que la generación espontánea no exista y en el paladar no haya papilas gustativas. Sin embargo, siguen utilizándose contínuamente, muchas veces como dudosa tradición y otras, aunque parezca mentira, por verdadera ignorancia.</p>
<p>Uno de estos tópicos es el famoso «<em>eslabón perdido</em>», que también ha llegado hasta nuestros días. Cuando Darwin publicó el Origen de las Especies en 1859, muchos de sus seguidores -especialmente Thomas Huxley- comenzaron a aplicar la teoría de la selección natural a la evolución humana, tema al que Sir Charles dedicó un libro algunos años después: «La ascendencia del hombre» (1871). En aquellos años, prácticamente no se conocían fósiles de homínidos, a excepción de algunos restos de neandertal sin identificar descubiertos en 1856.</p>
<p>Los críticos de la época a las teorías de Darwin exigieron como prueba la presentación de fósiles transicionales entre el hombre y el simio y, ante su ausencia, acuñaron el término "eslabón perdido" para hacer referencia a lo que calificaron como una laguna insalvable en la nueva teoría.</p>
<p>El asunto no era exactamente como lo planteaban los antievolucionistas decimonónicos, dado que los fósiles transicionales no constituían un error, sino una predicción de la teoría darwinista, es decir, si ésta era válida, deberían aparecer formas de transición no solamente en la línea evolutiva humana, sino la del resto de las especies.</p>
<p>Y, ni más ni menos, esto es lo que ocurrió, dotando a la teoría evolutiva de tal fuerza que, junto con otras muchas evidencias, hacen que hoy día la evolución sea considerada un hecho probado más allá de toda duda razonable.</p>
<p>Sin embargo, el concepto de «eslabón perdido» perdura en boca de multitud de artículos periodísticos y en círculos fundamentalistas partidarios del diseño inteligente (creacionismo).</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>Cada uno cuenta la fiesta...</strong></p>
<p>Resulta extremadamente curioso como dos de los colectivos que siguen utilizando habitualmente el caduco concepto de «eslabón perdido» lo siguen haciendo de forma totalmente opuesta, en función de sus intereses.</p>
<p>Creacionistas y fundamentalistas religiosos hacen gala de su memoria y atención selectivas, completamente ciegos ante los descubrimientos de los últimos 150 años y se sitúan en posiciones propias de finales del siglo XIX, argumentando impertérritamente que no existen fósiles de transición y que tras más de 100 años, los «evolucionistas» siguen buscando el dichoso eslabón. Los miles de fósiles de homínidos primitivos, incluyendo Parantropus, Austrolopitecus y Homo, así como cualquier otra especie transicional extinta, simplemente no existen para ellos.</p>
<p>En el lado contrario, muchos periodistas ávidos de dar sensacionalismo a sus noticias, encuentran el eslabón perdido (en singular) varias veces al año. Prácticamente ante cualquier descubrimiento de un nuevo fósil que se filtra a las agencias de prensa o incluso alguna nueva especie viva de características primitivas, redactan rimbombantes titulares que hacen imaginar que hemos alcanzado la comprensión final de la evolución universal. Claro ejemplo de ésto es el titular que apareció en algún periódico cuando hace unos años se descubrieron huesos de un primate primitivo de hace 13 millones de años en Cataluña; el periodista, ni corto ni perezoso, tituló el artículo tan categóricamente como "<span class="titulonoticia"><a href="http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2004/11/18/ciencia/1100806381.html">El 'eslabón perdido' es catalán</a>".</span></p>
<p><strong>No existe uno, sino muchos eslabones</strong></p>
<p>Es en el caso del árbol evolutivo humano, quizá por lo difícil que es abandonar el antropocentrismo, en el que con mayor frecuencia se alude a estos antiguos términos, tanto por parte del creacionismo como del periodismo sensacionalista.</p>
<p>Y, sin embargo, hominídos es uno de los grupos donde más "eslabones" conocemos. Resulta triste comprobar como unos y otros han quedado anclados en los conocimientos de finales del XIX, donde únicamente se conocían algunos restos de neandertales que, en aquellos tiempos, eran considerados <em>Homo sapiens</em>.</p>
<p>Hoy día, existen tantas especies de homínidos primitivos que el árbol evolutivo está en contínuo cambio, cada vez que un nuevo descubrimiento aporta más luz a la evolución de las diferentes ramas o a la forma en la que los ancestros del hombre salieron de África y colonizaron el mundo. Uno de los últimos descubrimientos en modificar nuestro concepto de la historia evolutiva del hombre se llevó a cabo en la sierra burgalesa de Atapuerca, donde se han encontrado restos de 800.000 a 1.200.000 de años de antigüedad pertenecientes a una especie que fue bautizada como <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_antecessor"><em>Homo antecessor</em></a> y que, según el equipo descubridor, sería un homínido del que derivarion <em>Homo sapiens</em> -nuestra especie- y <em>Homo neanderthalensis</em> -nuestra especie "hermana", ya extinta-.</p>
<p>Pero comencemos por el principio: ¿que es un homínido?. Según la filogenia más reciente quie incorpora los últimos aportes de la paleogenética,  Orangutanes, Gorilas, Chimpances y Humanos pertenecen a una misma familia, Hominidae. Dentro de ella se distinguen dos subfamilias: Ponginae (con los Orangutanes) y Homininae (con Gorilas, Chimpancés y Humanos). Homininae se divide a su vez en dos tribus: Gorilini (para los Gorilas) y Hominini para Chimpancés (género Pan) y Humanos (género Homo). Por lo tanto, zoológicamente, los seres humanos estamos tan cercanos a los chimpancés como un elefante africano (<em>Loxodonta africana</em>) lo está a un elefante asiático (<em>Elephas maximus</em>), y mucho más cercanos a gorilas y orangutanes que cualquiera de estos dos elefantes a un mastodonte (Mamutidae).</p>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Árbol filogenético de la superfamilia Hominoidea. Fuente: Wikimedia Commons"]<a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagen:Homininae.PNG"><img title="Árbol filogenético de la superfamilia Hominoidea" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Homininae.PNG" alt="Wikimedia Commons" width="400" height="135" /></a>[/caption]
<p>Por lo tanto, al hablar de homínidos fósiles, nos podemos estar referiendo a ancestros de Orangutanes (que se separaron de la rama principal hace 14 millones de años), de gorilas (separados hace 7 m.a.), de chimpances (separados de la línea humana entre 7 y 5 m.a.), de humanos bípedos (Homo, Australopithecus, Parantropus, etc.) o de todos ellos juntos.</p>
<p>Existe una buena variedad de fósiles de nuestra familia hace entre 23 y 7 millones de años, como <em>Proconsul</em>, <em>Morotopithecus</em>, <em>Afropithecus</em>, <em>Kenyapithecus, </em><span class="tec_texto" style="color:#000000;"><em>Pieralopithecus, Sivapithecus</em>, <em>Lufengpithecus</em>, <em>Ouranopithecus</em>, <em>Ankarapithecus</em> y <em>Gigantopithecus</em><em>, </em>entre otros<em>,</em> algunos de los cuales representan formas transicionales que dieron lugar las especies actuales, como <em>Sivapithecus </em>para Orangutanes y <em>Ouranopithecus, </em></span><em>Ramapithecus </em><span class="tec_texto" style="color:#000000;"><em> </em>o el reciente <em>Sahelanthropus tchadensis </em></span>para Gorilas, Chimpancés y Humanos, hace entre 9 y 5 millones de años.</p>

<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<p><strong>La línea humana</strong></p>
<p>Tras diferenciarse el tronco de Orangutanes, gorilas y finalmente Chimpancés, la línea evolutiva humana comienza el proceso que ha venido a denominarse «hominización», consistente básicamente en perfeccionar el bipedalismo, el uso de herramientas y el extrordinario desarrollo de las capacidades intelectuales.</p>
<p>Aquí también existen una buena representación de especies fósiles que documentan un árbol filogenético completo. Existen varias interpretaciones del mismo, y se realizan modificaciones muy frecuentemente, según van apareciendo nuevos hallazgos.</p>
<p>Generalmente se considera que el tronco de los homínidos bípedos que llevarían hasta el hombre moderno partió de alguna forma de Australopitecino, del que derivaron todos los Australopitecus y primeros Homos, posiblemente alguna forma del grupo de los <em>Ardipithecus</em>.</p>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="360" caption="Ardipithecus ramidus, 4,4 millones de años (Etiopía). Volumen craneal: 360 cm3"]<a href="http://jmhernandez.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/ardipithecus.jpg"><img title="360 cm3" src="http://jmhernandez.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/ardipithecus.jpg" alt="360 cm3" width="360" height="211" /></a>[/caption]
<p>Desde hace 4 millones de años hasta aproximadamente 1,5 m.a., se desarrollan en África al menos 5 especies de <em>Australopithecus</em> (algunas de ellas separadas por ciertos autores en géneros aparte: <em>Kenyantrophus </em>y <em>Parantrophus</em>). Entre ellos, el famoso esqueleto «Lucy», encontrado en Hadar (Etiopía) en 1974, y que pertenece a la especie <em>Australopithecus afarensis</em>.</p>

<p>No obstante, y contrariamente a lo que mucha gente piensa, no todas estas especies pertenecen a la línea directa del hombre, sino que son distintas ramificaciones de los homínidos en los últimos 3 millones de años. Posiblemente, sólo <em>Australopithecus anamensis </em>constituya un ancestro directo del Homo sapiens.</p>

<p><strong>¿Por fin humanos?</strong></p>
<p>Tradicionalmente se han clasificado dentro del género <em>Homo </em>a las especies de homínidos capaces de usar herramientas, aunque últimamente algunas evidencias apuntan a que ciertos <em>Australopithecus </em>ya llegaron a emplear útiles rudimentarios. En cualquier caso, hace 2,5 millones de años evolucionaron, de formas derivadas de los <em>Australopithecus</em>, las primeras especies de <em>Homo</em>: <em>Homo habilis</em> y <em>Homo rudolfensis</em> (que algunos autores consideran como una única especie). Según una de las propuestas más aceptadas actualmente, les sucedió <em>Homo ergaster</em> (2,0 -1,0 millones de años y, posiblemente, el primero en salir de Áfrca) a partir del cual se derivaron <em>Homo erecutus</em> (1,8 - 0,3 millones de años), y <em>Homo antecessor</em> (1,2 - 0,8 millones de años), que daría lugar a <em>Homo neanderthalensis</em> (extinto hace 29.000 años) y <em>Homo sapiens</em>, única especie que sobrevive en la actualidad. Otras hipótesis, como el modelo multirregional, postulan que <em>Homo sapiens</em> es el resultado de la hibridación de las formas derivadas de <em>Homo ergaster</em> en distintas partes del mundo, aunque actualmente es poco considerada.</p>

<p><strong>El árbol incompleto</strong></p>
<p>Aún nos queda mucho por descubrir sobre la evolución humana. Prácticamente nadie duda que irán apareciendo más fósiles de homínidos que progresivamente permitirán ir ajustando nuestro árbol filogenético. Ahora bien, tras los descubrimientos de cientos o miles de fósiles como los que hemos ido señalando, con características transicionales desde los primates primitivos, hoy día deberíamos hablar de un ramificado árbol, al que le quedan bastantes ramas por descubrir, más que de un único «eslabón pérdido».</p>

<p><strong><em>...Gordon Smith is a sleaze-bag and it's time for him to go.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gaycondo.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/gordon-smith.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1789 aligncenter" title="gordon-smith" src="http://gaycondo.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/gordon-smith.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="479" /></a><strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p>For those in other states let me give you some background. Gordon Smith is the junior republican senator from Oregon. He is a devout mormon from the conservative, ugly, eastern part of the state. He also inheirited the family business, Smith Frozen Foods. If you ever eat frozen vegetables it's pretty likely they were packaged at his plant. He is extremely wealthy. While he publicly came out against the Iraq war ahead of a lot of other republicans, he only did so after it was apparent that this would be a very popular move amongst his predominately anti-war constituents in Oregon.</p>
<p>Other than that the Senator has voted in line with the republicans on nearly everything. NARAL gives him a 15% rating and he has expressed support for a federal marriage amendment to the constitution banning gay marriage. In spite of his overall poor credentials on queer issues he airs this ad in the Portland area now that he is faced with a tough reelection campaign in a blue state:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/wHK2VAOE8hU'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/wHK2VAOE8hU&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>I don't know about you, but I am just not impressed. With no disrespect for Shepard or his family, it's kind of gay-rights 101 and very 10 years a go. I think we can all agree that murdering people because of their sexuality, race, gender identity is bad. Basically he's saying we shouldn't be beaten to death, but we also shouldn't be allowed to get married - and other protections against discrimination in the employment or housing amount to pandering towards "special interests".</p>
<p>Smith's Democratic opponent <a href="http://www.jeffmerkley.com/2008/08/elect_more_and.php?gclid=CPCY1vXVkJYCFRg6awodsQaYFA" target="_blank">Jeff Merkley</a> has a much better record. As speaker of the Oregon House he was instrumental in passing domestic partneships and another bill addressing discrimination in employment and housing during the 2007 Legislative Session. This race is tight, and Smith has spent an ass-load of money on ads as bad as this or worse, so it is important to <a href="http://www.sos.state.or.us/elections/votreg/vreg.htm" target="_blank">get registered now.</a> If you live in Oregon the deadline is Tuesday October 14. The more we can unseat people like Smith and replace them with people like Merkley, the better our odds of getting some real changes on the federal level.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://gaycondo.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/jonheader.jpg" border="4" alt="jonheader.jpg" /></p>
<p><a href="http://gaycondo.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/alloverme.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1786 alignright" title="alloverme" src="http://gaycondo.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/alloverme.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>I first saw the film "<strong><em>All Over Me</em></strong>" when I was 15, and though I wouldn't say it is my favorite movie of all time, it is most definitely the one that has had the greatest impact on me as a person.</p>
<p>For those of you that haven't seen it ( and I know all you radical fags and fagettes have), <strong><em>All Over Me</em></strong> tells the story of Claude, a butch-ish 15 year old girl struggling with her queer identity, and her straight best friend Ellen, who is falling into a black hole of drugs and abusive relationships. Claude, of course, is secretly in love with Ellen, and the two navigate this complicated relationship against the backdrop of Hell's Kitchen, a very bad neighborhood in NYC. There world and relationship is changed forever when they become involved in the murder of a local queer musician.</p>
<p>There is a lot of drama and crying and awkwardness of course, but that is not really what mattered to me when I was fifteen. Luckily, I had great parents and was very well adjusted and okay with my queerness. Very little drama involved. So, it wasn't the queer storyline  that really changed something inside of me.</p>
<p>What changed me forever was the musical exposure that I was given by <strong><em>All Over Me</em></strong>. It was how I discovered Helium, Sleater-Kinney, Geraldine Fibbers, Babes in Toyland, The Amps, and The Murmurs. Finding these bands started me thinking about feminism, politics, queer theory and modern art. They gave me the nudge I needed to discover other bands like Team Dresch and Bratmobile. Basically, the soundtrack to this movie helped me to become a pretty fucking awesome, smart, and confident queer teen. I know that who I am today is the result of a clear trajectory started my queer/feminist/altenative rock music of the mid-nineties.</p>
<p>Here is and idea I had today but will most likely by apethetic about following through on:</p>
<p><strong>ALL OVER ME soundtrack tribute/cover night!</strong></p>
<p>Four bands each cover 3-4 songs off the soundtrack and all the proceeds go to SMYRC (a portland queer youth non-profit). Of course my band Swallows would play. Local lesbo heartthrobs and 90's rock lover's <strong>Sick Sick Sister</strong> would certainly be invited as well... who else?</p>
<p>I feel like a ton of other queer people my age had a similiar experience with this film, so the night would be bound to succeed, especially here in Portland.</p>
<p>If it actually happens, I totally claim the song "<em>Dragon Lady" </em>by <strong>The Geraldine Fibbers. </strong>Here is the video:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/ibJZUXuD16s'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/ibJZUXuD16s&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>I would love to see Sick Sick Sister perform <em>"Hello" </em>by <strong>Babes in Toyland</strong>:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/C_YWJkNbe1I'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/C_YWJkNbe1I&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>If you have any memories of <strong><em>All Over Me</em></strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></em>I would love to here about them in the comments....</p>

<description><![CDATA[This past week&#8217;s radio show was great.  Sorry it has taken so long to get the info up on it.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past week's radio show was great.  Sorry it has taken so long to get the info up on it.  John and I went to the mountains of North Carolina to preach Monday-Thursday.  On this week's radio show, we started out like we start out every radio show: talking about the past week's ministry efforts.  We talked about our preaching at UNC-Chapel Hill and at the University of South Carolina.  We had never been to USC before, so it was good to preach at a new school.</p>
<p><a title="Troubling Questions for Calvinists" href="http://www.amazon.com/Troubling-Questions-Calvinists-All-Rest/dp/0966006054/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1223084661&#38;sr=8-1"><img class="alignleft" title="Troubling Questions for Calvinists" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51xb09JHMNL._SL500_BO2,204,203,200_AA219_PIsitb-sticker-dp-top,TopLeft,25,-40_SH20_OU01_.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a>Then we decided to finish up talking about Pelagianism.  We discussed an article that is found on the <a title="Library of Theology" href="http://www.libraryoftheology.com/"><strong>Library of Theology Website</strong></a>, titled, "<a title="Pelagius on Free Will" href="http://www.pinpointevangelism.com/libraryoftheologycom/writings/pelagianism/PELAGIUSOnFreewill.pdf">Defense of the Freedom of the Will</a>".  It is a bunch of quotes by Pelagius on the subject of FreeWill.  We talk about certain straw man arguments against Pelagius, read a selection of his quotes and discuss them.</p>
<p>We then moved on to talk about the book of the month.  The book I chose was <a title="Troubling Questions for Calvinists" href="http://www.amazon.com/Troubling-Questions-Calvinists-All-Rest/dp/0966006054/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1223085160&#38;sr=8-1"><em>Troubling Questions for Calvinists (And all the rest of us..)</em></a> by F. Lagard Smith.  I am only about a third of the way through the book, but what I have read so far has been great.  I think this book is one that thoroughly refutes the unBiblical acronym of T.U.L.I.P.  I give a general overview of the book and then we look at some things he says in the book.  I recommend that every chrisitian read this book!  I think that everyone who professes to be a Calvinist or is even thinking about being a Calvinist should be required to read this book!</p>
<p><a href="http://refiningfireradio.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/rehoboth-beach-boardwalk.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-36" title="rehoboth-beach-boardwalk" src="http://refiningfireradio.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/rehoboth-beach-boardwalk.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Finally, we played some audio of a secular radio show that I was recently on.  John, Jesse and I were preaching in Rehoboth Beach, DE this past summer and had some problems with the cops.  Rehoboth is a thoroughly homosexual area, so that probably had something to do with it.  We put our encounter with the cops up on YouTube and a local radio station found out about it.  The host of a morning radio show basically played the audio from the cop encounter on his radio show.  He was very much in favor of us, as was his audience.  So, he invited the Chief of Police on and then had me on his radio show right after the Chief of Police.  We played the audio of the Chief of Police being on the radio, as well as the audio of me being on the radio.  We discussed the audios a little, but they pretty much spoke for themselves.  The radio show that I was on is called Talk of Delmarva and it is hosted by Dan Gaffney.  For those of you who don't know, Delmarva is simply short for Delaware, Maryland and Virginia and is referring to the peninsula on the East Coast that all three states are a part of.  Click below if you would like to listen to the parts of that radio show that were talking about us:</p>
<p><a title="Initial Radio Show" href="http://www.pinpointevangelism.com/DelmarvaRadioShow.mp3"><strong>Initial Radio Show</strong></a>- the one that played the YouTube video and received calls from people responding to it.</p>
<p><a title="Police Chief Interview" href="http://www.pinpointevangelism.com/DelmarvaRadio-PoliceChief.WAV"><strong>Police Chief</strong></a>- Dan Gaffney talks to the Rehoboth Beach, DE police chief.  He basically gave a lot of non-answers</p>
<p><a title="Interview With Kerrigan" href="http://www.pinpointevangelism.com/DelmarvaRadio-Kerrigan.WAV"><strong>Kerrigan</strong></a>- Dan Gaffney talkes to me about the situation and then allows some callers to ask me questions.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vorbind de pisici, va mai amintiti de Lieve, micuta mea vecina ( serialul Lieve se afla in coloana din dreapta ), care poseda un motan de toata frumusetea, un persan cafeniu cu o coada stufoasa maro inchis. De cealalta parte a casei am vecini noi, un cuplu cu doi copii si un motan ce nu pare de nici o rasa, dar se cunoaste ca e bine intretinut. Seara pisicile ies prin habitat sa socializeze intre ele in fel si chip. Din fericire pentru mine, curtea mea e doar a mea si nu-mi impart propietatea cu nici un animal :) de nici un fel de rasa :) drept pentru care, pisicile isi dau intalnire la mine in curte, pe teritoriu neutru. Cum era de asteptat, motanul cel nou a suferit ceva tavaleli, bruscari, traume, dar, se pare nu se lasa. Aseara, intre doua reprize de ploaie, motanul lui Lieve isi facea linistit siesta pe tomberonul de gunoi, urmarind prin fereastra, ecranul televizorului la care ma uitam. un minut mai tarziu se aud zgomote infundate miorlaituri scurte, scuipaturi sarituri de genul trucaje din filmele cu samurai japonezi dupa care, liniste mormant. Ies sa vad deznodamantul bataliei si spre surprinderea mea, cele doua feline se infruntau in priviri, gata gata de atac. In cele din urma motanul persan se aseaza, si incepe sa-si linga blana, neslabindu-si adversarul din priviri. Celalat il priveste, si apoi cu tupeu paseste agale, apropiindu-se cu urechile pe spate calcand parca in varfurile unghiilor, oprindu-se la doar cativa centrimetri de celalalt. Persanul il ignora complet, facandu-si toaleta tolanit pe o parte cu picioarele pe sus. Gata, imi zic in gand, acu ca si-au disputat teritoriile mai ramane sa isi imparta pitipoancele in functie de rang si suprematie. Ignor animalele si cateva minute  mai tarziu aud iar un soi de miorlaituri, dar de acesta data in nici un caz de bataie, semanau a cotaiala in toata regula; pe tomberonul de gunoi, motanul lui Lieve sodomiza pervers motanul maidanez, care luase o mimica confuza doritor sa scape de dominatia blanoasa din carca sa, orice intentie de zvacnire sau evadare esuand cu o ghera sanatoasa sau muscaturi dureroase. Nici pe animal planet nu mi-a fost dat sa vad ce se intampla in gradina mea; priveam uimita, usor amuzata dupa care mi-a venit idea sa fug dupa camera sa imortalizez momentul; sunetele miorlaiturilor sunau precum jelirea mortilor din Ferentari.<br />
Pana sa ma intorc eu cu jucariile mele au sters-o matele iar ploaia incepe sa cada dintr-o data parca pentru a spala locul de pacate...<br />
Apucaturi a la Amsterdam, pe ploi tip Amsterdam, in habitat pervers marca Amsterdam !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm watching Sex in the City right now.  I always swore this show off and said it was for old ladies who didn't get any and sluts until Susan made me watch the movie and now I'm pretty much addicted to it.  Every time I watch it I tell myself how lazy I am with hair, makeup, etc. and that I need to take more time with my appearance.  Is it weird that I enjoy torturing myself?  I'm in the process of trying to lose some weight right now.  I think it's slowly creeping back on and I don't want to be the girl who got married/fat. </p>

<p>Got some new nail polish today.  I liked the color when I bought it, but when I put it on I liked it even more.  I'm not sure what it says about my skin tone when baby poop purple looks good on me. </p>

<p> Sorry if you read this post before I got a chance to edit the pictures a little bit.  I had a little too much beer and woke up this morning to see the masterpieceoshit I created.  Fixed it the best I could. &#60;3</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lapin Kansa on nimittänyt uuden päätoimittajan, Johanna Korhosen, jonka on ehtinyt jo erottaa - ennen kuin Korhonen on ehtinyt edes aloittaa. Kyseessä lienee ainutlaatuinen reaktiivisuus, jopa reaaliaikaisessa mediassa.</p>
<p>Koska täällä Länsi-Venäjällä olemme kantaneet suurta huolta Pohjoisen johtavasta mediatalosta, ja tietysti koko Lapin Kansasta, pistimme pystyyn tuotapikaa ideariihen miettimään seuraavaa ehdokasta päätoimittajan vastuulliselle paikalle.</p>
<p>Kun yhdistimme lappilaisen kulttuurin ja ilmeisen odotetut mediakyvyt ja muut tarpeellisiksi uskomamme ominaisuudet, päädyimme ehdokkaaseen, joka saattaa yllättää jopa varautuneimmatkin kassi-almat ja muut hallituksen jäsenet. Tässä se on:</p>
<p>HETEROPORO!  Jos kyseessä onkin vain vajaa puolikas, on se kuitenkin vähintään puolta parempi kuin kokonainen, homoporo. Toinen puoli heteroporosta, umpi-impotentti hulluporo, työskentelee varmuudella ei-poliittisessa paliskunnassa, poronkuseman päässä Utsjoki-Kevolla. Kyseessä on siis aito ja perinteisesti eroteltu pariskunta.</p>
<p>Jos ehdokkaamme osoittautuu kuitenkin jonkin, vielä pimennossa olevan torjuttavan ominaisuutensa (esim. suurentuneet anaalirauhaset) suhteen epäkelvoksi työhönsä tai ylipäätään elämään, on siitä eroon pääseminen helppoa ja ennen kaikkea halpaa. Kaikki mikä näkyy, voidaan myydä tai hyödyntää edelleen. Sarvia myöden. Uskomme kuitenkin, että ehdokkaamme kykenee nostamaan lehden painoarvon toiseen potenssiin. Luonnonmukaisesti, ei sen vastaisesti.</p>
<p>Myöh nyth kehothamha thäälhä, jottha pankhaa puukkho tuppheen ja tupphi vyöhön ja pestatkhaahan äkkhiä uushi phäätoimithaja enthisen thilalhe. Jotthei phääse phainokonhet jäähtymhään, eikhä musthe kuivamhan.</p>
<p>Ka voithan sinäkhi anthaa phalautetha suoraan almhalaishille:</p>
