Philippine Anti-Discrimination Bill: Necessary and Long Overdue

This post is partially in response to the following comment posted by ''Gary45.''  Since I was already planning to write about the anti-discrimination bill, I'll use this comment as my starting point:
"You said: "Gay rights are non-existent in the Philippines".  Really?  Are gays not Filipino citizens?  Our Constitution already guarantees respect for human rights (section 11), the rights of workers (section 18), equal access to public services (section 26), equal employment opportunities for all (section 3 article XII), and even against threats on libel, slander and sexual harassment in the Penal Code.  Merit is the basis for employment.  Education, work record, experience, performance.  If a gay is fired for wearing too much lipstick he/she (?) can make a complaint to DOLE or DOJ.  New laws and more laws aren't necessary when we already have laws for this and that, regardless of the implications to religious liberty. ..."
Excellent comment and excellent point.  Your insensitivity on the matter, however, is disappointing.  It's unfortunate that you refer to gay men as "he/she."  It is also highly unlikely that a gay man would be fired for wearing lipstick since gay men don't wear lipstick.  Some male-to-female transgenders do, however, so perhaps they are the ones to whom you are referring.

The proposed Anti-Discrimination Bill pending in Philippine Congress (House Bill 1483), is an extremely important piece of legislation.  At first glance, the points raised in the above comment may make it seem that such a bill is unnecessary.  In a perfect world that may be true, but the last time I checked Earth isn't perfect and neither is humanity, which is why the majority of democratic countries today have some form of anti-discrimination law protecting their LGBT citizens.

According to the Preamble of the Philippine Constitution, the very purpose of government is to protect each and every individual's right to justice, peace, liberty, and equality.  Furthermore, the Equal Protection Clause, which is borrowed almost directly from the U.S. Constitution, expressly prohibits discrimination and requires that laws operate equally and uniformly for all persons under similar circumstances.  Coincidentally, equal protection clauses (most democratic countries have them in their constitutions) are the usual basis by which courts have determined that same-sex couples must be given the same rights as opposite-sex couples.

The things Gary points out in his comment concerning workers' rights, employment opportunities, merit, etc., are all true, but then reality steps in and things get lost in translation.  The existing laws are what are known as blanket regulations:  they cover things broadly, in entirely general terms, and they avoid specifics.  While there are a whole slew of laws, mechanisms, and institutions to help protect the rights of women, for example, LGBT rights are only covered by generalities.

If merit alone is the basis of employment, as Gary implies, then there should be no need to enumerate sex, race, or religion in protection regulations, yet those classifications remain explicitly named as being protected in the workplace in most countries.  If one would try to argue against hiring a woman in a sex discrimination case, they would fail miserably because a court could point to the specific laws which names sex as being protected.  There is no wiggle room; it is clearly codified.

If it's not Specifically Listed, I don't have to do it...

There is a common misunderstanding of the at-will paradigm that exists in many countries, including the Philippines.  The at-will paradigm states that an employer can fire or refuse to hire someone for any reason (that is his or her “right” as the boss)...except for the articulated prohibited reasons.  I or anyone else could easily argue that religion should be stripped out of protected class status.  After all, if employment is merit-based, religious groups shouldn't expect "special" treatment either.  (Of course I do not advocate this, however.  I'm simply using religion here as an example to make a point.)

Discrimination has always been a major and serious issue the world over, even in fiercely democratic nations that constitutionally extol the virtues of equality, liberty, and justice.  The United States can be used as an example here.

No one could argue that the US constitution is a sexist, racist, or bigoted document -- it is the absolute opposite.  Nevertheless, even though it states in perfectly clear wording that "All men are created equal," white Americans owned black Americans as slaves for the first 89 years of its nationhood, not to mention the preceding 150 years before the U.S. broke away from Great Britain.  Even after slavery was outlawed black Americans were treated as second class citizens in the southern states, segregated in housing, education, the workplace and the military, and not allowed to vote.  It was the specific Civil Rights Act of 1964 that enumerated the rights of African Americans, ensured those rights, and enforced them.  Did they already have those rights as Americans?  Technically yes, but the general laws needed to be specified.

All over the world women were kept from voting because of "moral and religious" reasons up through the early 1900s.  Women had to fight for decades to win their right to vote and hold public office, and it then had to be guaranteed by specific laws for the protection of women's rights.  Universal suffrage came to most of Western Europe in the 1910s, to America in 1920, and finally came to the Philippines, too, in 1937.  Later came the issue of women in the workplace, and specific laws needed to be enacted to safeguard the rights of women to seek and maintain employment without discrimination, even though they "already had" those rights by virtue of being citizens.

In my country, our Anti-Discrimination Act is comprehensive, ensuring equality for 15 suspect classes.  It is explicitly illegal to discriminate in any way on the basis of gender, pregnancy, leave of absence due to child-birth or adoption, ethnicity/skin color/nation of birth, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, health (including those who are HIV-positive), religion, belief system, disability, age, political views, appearance, marital status, and socioeconomic status.  Were the rights of all these groups already granted under the Norwegian Constitution?  Absolutely, but the generalities left wiggle room for certain discriminatory practices, and they needed to be set right with specifics.

In earlier decades, civil rights legislation had a huge effect on racial bigotry in many countries, the same as women's rights legislation had on sexism.  One-hundred years ago the vast majority of societies held that women were to merely obey their husbands, stay at home, cook, clean, and raise babies.  Look how far we've come since then, thanks to laws against gender discrimination.  Likewise, the long range effects of including sexual orientation and gender identity in legislation significantly reduces homophobia and transphobia within a country.  This isn't hard to see in countries that have had anti-discrimination laws in place for some time now.

Hardships and Little Recourse

Currently, LGBT employees in the Philippines are unable to find solid protection in the courts because sexual orientation is not considered a suspect class by either the court system or the national government.  Many Filipinos feel that homosexuality and transgenderism are perversions, mental lapses, or strange lifestyle choices.  As such if Filipino LGBTs would happen to sue for their rights, the traditionally conservative Philippine court system would likely mention that:  1) LGBTs are not a suspect class under Philippine law, and 2) the at-will paradigm protects the rights of employers to hire or fire whomever they wish (except in cases of gender).

According to a study published by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, reports of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity are roughly equal to those on race or gender.  Psychological associations the world over also state that there is significant discrimination against homosexuals and transgenders in the workplace and schools.

LGBTs are routinely subjected to insults, scorn, and judgmental remarks on a regular basis.  A transgender Filipina friend of mine even told me of how she was made fun of during a job interview and asked inappropriate questions such as "What are you?"  Her skills and work experiences counted for nothing -- the employer merely judged her on her appearance, and on his own prejudice and ignorance of gender identity.  Others have been denied housing, and many experience discrimination even when accessing basic health care.  Gary mentions that they can simply file a complaint with DOLE or DOJ, but he overlooks the fact that when many LGBTs file complaints, most of the time they’re dismissed or not taken seriously.  Some transgender Filipinas I've spoken to have even been openly mocked and insulted when they have tried to file abuse complaints at local police stations.

Such disgraceful situations aren't confined to the Philippines, of course.  Other countries have had to confront these imbalances as well, and have been successful in doing so.  How?  Through specific anti-discrimination protections.

When prejudice and discrimination are nested in a society, especially within the halls of government, specific laws are needed.

Not About Morality

Laws are not about morality, but are, in a democracy, the primary social mediator of relations between people.  This keeps social transactions as orderly and just as possible in public settings.  We have social obligations to follow laws:  we have to stop at red lights; we cannot steal goods; and we must treat people as fairly as possible in public settings (primarily employment, housing, and public accommodation).

If everyone disobeyed laws just because they felt they violated their personal beliefs, there would be no order or justness to social transactions.  Yes, laws often have discriminated against certain groups, e.g. the Dread Scott case in the U.S., but democratic constitutions survive because they set up ways to remedy injustices in the face of opposing "morality."  Certain religious persons believe homosexuality to be immoral, however these beliefs should have nothing to do with how LGBT individuals -- or people with different colored skin, or women, or the elderly, or Muslims -- should be treated in public settings.

The ultimate question regarding the proposed Anti-Discrimination Bill is:  do LGBT individuals need to be added as a protected class in Philippine law?  Most definitely.  These groups need to be specifically protected to remedy disorderly and unjust social transactions in public settings, regardless of individuals' moral beliefs.

Bear in mind that the "beliefs" argument goes both ways.  Say, for example, that I don't like Baptists and I don't want to have a Baptist working in my company.  It infringes on my rights and beliefs as a business owner that I should be forced to hire a Baptist if I don't want to.  Should I be able to do that?  Absolutely not.  "But that's different," you may say, "religion isn't the same as being gay.''

I have actually had that argument posed to me in the Philippines, when a Baptist theology student said to me:  ''Women are born women, of course they should be protected.  An African is born an African, of course he should be protected.  But gays aren't born gay, so they cannot and should not be a protected class.''

I asked him, ''You're a Baptist, right?''  ''Yes I am,'' he replied.  So I asked, ''Were you born a Baptist?''  He answered that he had been born into a Baptist home to Baptist parents, but that he made a decision on his own to be baptized and be a member of the Baptist Church.  ''So since you weren't born a Baptist,'' I asked, ''should that give me or anyone else the right to discriminate against you because you made a decision to be a Baptist?''  He thought for a second, then said, ''Well, no, sir.''

It's interesting how social conservatives claim that homosexuality is a choice and that, because they think it's merely a personal decision, LGBTs shouldn't be protected against discrimination the way that gender, race, and religion are.  For some reason they fail to see the fact that religion is itself a choice.  Their beliefs are protected against discrimination, even though they could change their beliefs at will.  So I say, if you don't want to include LGBTs in anti-discrimination laws you must also be willing to give up the protection of your religiousness.  Otherwise your argument is hollow.

Does the Bill Go Far Enough?

In my opinion as a European looking at House Bill 1483, I absolutely applaud it for its breadth of coverage.  It is a very well written bill and I absolutely hope that it passes as soon as possible and becomes law.  It not only addresses discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, but also on the basis of gender identity, and would therefore offer protections to transgender Filipinos.  Another cause for praise is the bill's inclusion of harassment against LGBTs.  All told, House Bill 1483 is a very progressive piece of legislation.

The only shortfalls I noticed are that, first and foremost, there are no protections included against discriminatory or hateful speech, i.e. hate speech.  Also, there is no specific prohibition against obtaining information in connection with appointments.

The latter prohibition would simply mean that employers would not be allowed to ask applicants to provide information regarding their religious views or their stance on religious or cultural issues (such as homosexuality, same-sex marriage, abortion, and so on).  That would have been nice to see because such matters can and do come up in some job and school interviews in the Philippines, and can open a side door to discrimination if the employer/administrator doesn't approve of the applicant's personal views.  This tends to be far more common in the Philippines than one may think.

I also wish the bill were more comprehensive, including protections for not just the LGBT community, but for other marginalized and often-discriminated groups as well.  It's quite shocking to learn that the Philippines has very few discrimination policies in place, save for gender, race, and creed, as listed in Article 3 of the General Provisions of the Labor Code of the Philippines.  It was surprising for me to learn that the Philippines doesn't actually have formal laws against religious discrimination (though such has also been proposed).  But of course, since the majority of Filipinos are Catholics (including the vast majority of those in the government and courts), religious discrimination isn't exactly a problem...for the majority.  If the majority are Catholic they're not going to discriminate against other Catholics or experience discrimination themselves.  But there are Filipinos who do face religious discrimination on a regular basis, among them the sizable Muslim minority and atheists.

I think a comprehensive anti-discrimination bill enshrining protections for religious views, political views, the disabled, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity, and against age discrimination would better serve the Filipino people as a whole.  Speaking of age discrimination, that was actually one of the first things I noticed about the Philippines.  You can see advertisements and signs everywhere posting for job openings, almost all of which specify age limits.  For example, ''applicants must be between the ages of 20 and 29.''  I was shocked when I saw that type of ad.  That's discriminatory and it's actually illegal in Europe, the U.S., etc.  If someone is qualified for a job, they're qualified for a job, period.  You cannot say ''sorry, you're 30, we don't want you.''

Additionally, in Western countries employers are forbidden to ask about an applicant's religious affiliation, because that can be grounds for either discrimination or favoritism, depending on whom is doing the hiring.  In the Philippines, however, religion is a common question asked on job and school application forms.

Sadly, I realize that a comprehensive anti-discrimination bill is probably a long way off for the Philippines.  But I believe that someday it can be achieved, and it should be continually pushed for until it is.  Achieving equality is tough work, and you can never let up in the fight, never stop putting pressure on your politicians, and never simply accept that things are the way they are.  Equality is always right.  Always.

Hope For a Day When We Won't Need Such Laws, But Until Then...

The reason we need to specifically protect certain classes/groups of people is because they have been historically discriminated against in society.  Everyone being equal isn't possible in a society that has an undercurrent of discrimination.  Hopefully one day these laws won't be necessary, but until a nation becomes a nation where everyone is truly treated as equals, some people need to have legal protections.

"Politics are changing, but that doesn't mean gay and lesbian Filipinos should wait, or that they should stop asking for the Equal Protection Clause to be applied to them, too."

I was looking for information on anti-discrimination. I want to stop or at least minimize it. thanks

Jake said... Best Blogger Tips

Nice article. Thanks for writing it.
As regards religion...

there are some catholic schools here in the Philippines that post job ads that include requirements such as "must be a practicing catholic." In fact, my friend tried to apply for one post and the first question the HR asked her was "what church do you go to?" Do you think job postings like this can be considered a case of employment discrimination based on religion? Or does "discrimination" only apply to a "denial" upon application, employment, or termination on the basis of religion, regardless of whether a job applicant is aware of the religious requirement for the job? I'm not sure if the Philippine law against discrimination or the Labor Code of the Philippines covers this scenario. Or could employers simply brush this issue aside by saying that it's a management prerogative to exclude possible applicants with a different religious background? I'd be glad to hear your opinion on this. Thank you.

@ Jake:
Apologies for not replying sooner. I have been in Europe for some time.

Your questions are good ones, but they might be a bit above my pay grade to answer as I'm not an authority on Philippine law. In my understanding, in the Philippines at the present time there is little recourse for the type of discrimination you mentioned. To require that an applicant "must be a practicing Catholic" is bonafide discrimination against everyone who isn't one. To be sure, such job postings are discriminatory in accordance with modern democratic law, and if a company in Europe were to ask the type of question that your friend was asked, that company would find itself in some pretty big trouble.

This, however, is where it gets sticky. In the Philippines one could of course pursue legal action against an institution practicing such discrimination, but religious discrimination isn't officially codified in Philippine law. Therefore, your view that an employer could simply claim management prerogative, as you aptly put it, is the most likely scenario.

This, unfortunately, is the present-day situation in your country in regards to discrimination (be it religious, age, sexual orientation/identity, etc.). Without clearly stated, specific laws on the books, managers and institutions (both private and public) can continue to discriminate via this legal "wiggle room". This is the so-called at-will paradigm.

I always thought that people generally respected others when I was younger. But as I grew up here in Canada, I realized that almost everyone has some type of judgement against another group of some sort, so it seems. I wish everyone could be educated, so that they could understand different people. I thought Filipinos would be more accepting of different groups due to the amount of ppl that get hired out of country and have a chance to experience other cultures first hand. I wish that I could be legally married to my transgendered Filipino partner there. Why? Because if it is legally recognized, then I could come there legally as a family member. As it stands, it seems almost impossible for me to immigrate there. I don't necessarily want to live in Canada forever, as it is very expensive and I don't like the cold all the time. A relationship that seems so impossible only because of some outdated laws, which won't be changed because of people who can't separate law and human rights from religion and morality.

Miss Daisy said... Best Blogger Tips

Carhawlin' I think you should really stay in Canada because things is much better there for gays and lesbians. Filipinos are a bit tolerant but they have too much judgements behind your back. Im a trans Filipina by the way. The laws here do not protect anyone except for the straight people (much better if your Catholic too). If your partner is a trans Filipina in the PH I think you should petition for her to go to your place because you can do that there with the much better Canadian laws. I would say to you that the PH is good to visit for vacation but not the best place to stay permanent, especially if you are a gay/lesbian/trans couple. But that's just my advice!

Not all discrimination is bad... The law provides many forms of discrimination for the good of society, such as brothers and sisters not being allowed to marry, and having age limits for drivers licenses. It's not really homophobia if we do not support special gay rights. The opposition to this legislation is sensible and compelling.

Anonymous said... Best Blogger Tips

Of course, being unjustly fired from your job is TOTALLY comparable to incest and the driving age.

Beauty said... Best Blogger Tips

Indeed Christians (esp Catholics) in this country are the ones with the special rights, and their rights infringe on everyone else. Until all people enjoy the same rights and benefits as the majority, then the heteros are the ones with the special rights. How is that equal in a free country? It's not!

We just want the same rights as the majority enjoys, nothing more, nothing less. And some day we will have them, regardless of what bigots try to do to stop it. Time is on our side.

Religious extremists always like to play the victim. If they can't keep things the exact way they want them, they say their rights are being infringed on. If they aren't allowed to DENY rights to LGBTQ, then THEY are the ones being harmed, according to their own minds. Insanity!

YES to anti discrimination bill! We obviously need it badly!

One Answer to Cancer - Life Saving Information.mp4 - 1h 37min 640 x 360

Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a truly free, harmonious society -- in which we all have abundant, safe, natural products, and medical advice we can trust implicitly?

Unfortunately, this isn't possible, because our planet has become dominated by evil multinational corporations that have stealthily gained control of governments and media, and have thoroughly corrupted our medical system.

These purveyors of sickness and death have remained unexposed, because history's legendary "crusading journalists" -- who once courageously defied establishment wealth and power -- are a thing of the past.

Freedom of the (mainstream) press, in the 21st century, belongs only to those who own one.

The Internet is now the only medium capable of disseminating truth.

This is why we have spent the past five years making a feature-length DVD: ONE ANSWER TO CANCER.

ONE ANSWER TO CANCER is about two cancer salves. One, known as Aldara, doesn't cure, and has even killed.

Yet, it is still legally and enthusiastically prescribed by doctors, and even subsidized by our tax dollars.

Aldara nearly killed Elaine Hollingsworth, after she put a small amount on a tiny skin cancer.

She has never recovered, nor have thousands of other victims.

This is an unspeakable crime.

The corrupt physicians who have prescribed Aldara for financial gain, and the multinational, 3M, who released and promoted it (while knowing it can kill), must be stopped before millions are maimed and die.

ONE ANSWER TO CANCER names names, and pulls no punches.

The other cancer salve is safe and effective, and has never harmed anyone, in thousands of years of use.

Yet it is illegal, and is suppressed by governments. Why? You know the reason: Big Pharma will lose billions in revenue when the power and safety of the salve becomes widely known.

ONE ANSWER TO CANCER is packed full of amazing testimonials by people who have reclaimed their health.

They have eliminated invasive breast cancers, deadly Ewing's Sarcoma, terminal thyroid cancer, bowel cancer and an array of skin cancers, even large melanomas.

In their interviews men and woman describe exactly how they used this natural salve, and have even generously included startling before and after photos.

The best news of all: ONE ANSWER TO CANCER will show you precisely how to make this life-saving natural salve for yourself and your loved ones, so you can escape the sickness industry.

Big Government, Big Pharma and Big Medicine will hate ONE ANSWER TO CANCER, but we've done it anyway.

They would love to stop us, but they can't. At least, not yet.

The information in this DVD could save your life. It could save the lives of countless others as well.

Joe Miklosi (D)

Joe Miklosi was raised in New Boston, Mich., a rural community near the Ohio-Michigan border. His father was an elementary-school art teacher; his mother was a waitress. He says his humble working-class parents inspired him to enter public service with a mission to help blue-collar workers.

He earned a bachelor's in religion at Hope College and later, in 2004, a master's in public administration from the University of Denver.

Miklosi considering a career as a Methodist minister, but instead chose public service. In 1993, he served as an intern at the White House in the office of public liaison. He also worked as an aide to former U.S. Sen. Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio.

While taking night classes at DU, Miklosi worked at Denver-based software companies Cyveillance and Aristotle Industries. After receiving his master's, he worked for Project C.U.R.E., a nonprofit in suburban Denver that collects and distributes donated medical supplies and equipment to hospitals in the developing world. He has made humanitarian trips to Guatemala, Kenya and Rwanda.

He was elected to the Colorado House in 2008.

Miklosi and his wife, Jennifer, live in Aurora.

Joe Miklosi worked behind the scenes in politics for years before submitting himself to voters and winning election to the Colorado House in 2008.

His first job out of college was as an aide to former U.S. Democratic Sen. Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio. A year later, in 1993, Miklosi was a White House intern in the office of public liaison.

After moving to Denver, Miklosi started his Colorado political career as state director of Progressive Majority, which recruits municipal and state candidates throughout Colorado.

Miklosi was elected to the Colorado House in 2008, defeating Paul Rosenthal in a contested and bitter Democratic primary and going on to win the general election. He was re-elected in 2010.

After the 2010 Census, though, Denver's slower-than-elsewhere growth rate meant that the city lost a seat in the state House. Miklosi elected to leave the House rather than challenge another Democratic incumbent, and he cast about for an opportunity. Rather than challenge Denver's long-serving Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, Miklosi decided to challenge Republican Rep. Mike Coffman, a two-term incumbent in the conservative southern suburbs.

Miklosi was given little chance until a redistricting plan made Colorado's 6th Congressional District much more competitive for Democrats. In 2010, more than 40 percent of the voters in the district were registered Republicans. In the 2012 race, the district is about a third Republican, a third Democratic and a third independent, with significantly more Latino voters in Aurora.

The changing district all of a sudden makes Miklosi a more serious candidate. Democrats got even more interested in May 2012 when Coffman told a group of Republicans that he doesn't know whether President Barack Obama was born in the U.S. and that in his heart Obama is not an American. The comments were recorded and circulated to conservatives, causing a dustup that led to Coffman writing an apology in The Denver Post in which he called the remark "boneheaded." Miklosi said it was "a comment you would normally hear from Rush Limbaugh."

Miklosi is portraying Coffman as a far-right conservative and a bad choice to represent a district that is more urban and more diverse than the old 6th District.

LucasArts used to make great games filled to the brim with flavor. Full Throttle. Day of the Tentacle. Sam and Max Hit the Road. Then, it applied that brilliance to Star Wars games like X-Wing, Dark Forces, and X-Wing vs TIE Fighter. A lot of the attitude was lost, but it was okay, because the games made up for it with outstanding gameplay in the Star Wars universe. RTX Red Rock is a step in two different directions for LucasArts. On one hand, it seems to finally be recapturing the attitude and feel of its old games. On the other, it's like it took a time machine back to the days of NES, took a lesson from the games of the time, and said, "You know what's missing in today's games? Ridiculously hard levels that are ambiguous as to the way to finish them, and where the hero either chokes to death, falls, or is ravaged by aliens he can't see every few minutes. Ayup."

As the story goes, the year is 2103. Alien forces called LEDs (yes, like the lights) are moving in on Mars Colony, and all contact has been lost. It's up to one E.Z. Wheeler and his lovely computerized assistant, Iris, to restore communications and blow the LEDs back to their psychedelic dimension. Helping him in this most awesome endeavor is an array of weapons and infinite lives (literally). The only thing that stands against him is an awful mission briefing and objective updating system, a half-effective combat system, and the prospect of dying every ten steps. Luckily, he's a radical tactics expert with a million lives to spare.

RTX Red Rock is a third-person action/adventure game sharing the most similarity with games like Tomb Raider. As E.Z. Wheeler, you have an array of tools and guns to solve a lot of puzzles, kill some aliens, and work your way to the next level. Where the game succeeds is in making E.Z. Wheeler a likeable character. He's a no-nonsense, quip-cracking badass with nothing to lose and as many sarcastic comments as bullets in his gun. Iris, his digitized assistant, is a '50s era, gum-smacking receptionist who seems to have a crush on Wheeler, which makes for some very witty dialogue.

Unfortunately, the gameplay can't matchup to the atmosphere. The camera ranges from very easy to control to damn near impossible when in tight spaces. Wheeler himself can get stuck on any environment at a moment's notice, or leap off the nearest precipice to his death (and respawn). The levels are ambiguous as to how to proceed, often seemingly offering a jumping puzzle where none exists, leading to many a frustrated respawn. The maps, while somewhat helpful, are also counterproductive as they save each mission objective's map as you progress, leading to a lot of scrolling and checking objectives. The objectives themselves often require you to find a terminal and hope Iris can open a locked door or help in some other way (with no hint to do this). Often, I left a terminal after just getting briefed, and used it again to find Iris had to do something else like open a door. How would I have known to do that without exhausting every other option?

The combat system in RTX Red Rock ranges from easy to frustrating. Wheeler has a bunch of implant eyes that see in different spectrums, but switching between them in combat is a button-pushing chore that leaves you stuck in place. You have to stand still and hit three buttons or more to switch to a spectrum that allows you to see aliens, and then hope Wheeler auto-locks on them and starts shooting. That's a problem in itself. If the alien isn't dead-center in the screen, Wheeler just shoots at dead air. When you do lock-on the aliens, you may have to tap the button for quite a while until you upgrade your gun. There is a first-person zoom-in mode, but you have to stand still to use it.

Eavesdropping on hot robot gossip.
Because of these flaws, and because the game is just plain hard, Wheeler dies. A lot. At great length. He runs out of air and chokes to death. He falls into mine shafts. He gets ravaged by aliens he can't see or shoot. But it's okay, because he'll respawn five feet away, perfectly unharmed. Did I mention that if you get killed where you respawn, you respawn there again? Only to get killed again until, that is, you can kill the aliens standing where you show up. Blah!

Infinite lives can't make up for gameplay that rivals NES games for cheap deaths, many of which are caused by shoddy controls. RTX Red Rock is an experience in pain, one I don't recommend. I love that LucasArts has found its attitude again, but I hate the gameplay it's regressed down to.

Re: Solstice, Christmas and drug ads :-(

One concern of moving out would be losing all the
great information that wad been shared over the years.

I have been banning IP addresses but it seems to do little good.

I tried reporting these messages as I suspect they are of
questionable legality.

I’ve considered using one of their phone numbers or email
addresses to ask them to lock it off, but I don’t necessarily
want them to have my contact info either..

Re: Solstice, Christmas and drug ads :-(

Contact the DEA.. they would be interested in folks selling /hustling drugs on the internet.

Re: Solstice, Christmas and drug ads :-(

The DEA .. Good idea.

I see they do have a local phone number.

What I'll do is to wait for another one of the gracious drug offers to be posted
(which likely won't take long) and then phone and send a link to the DEA.

Who knows .. Maybe the DEA is looking for some good prices on heroin for Christmas :-)

Re: Solstice, Christmas and drug ads :-(

I see that we've got us another drug ad.

No doubt the DEA is closed until Tuesday the 26th, at which time I'll give
them a call.

Re: Solstice, Christmas and drug ads :-(

At the risk of stating the obvious (which I'll go ahead and do since no one has stated it yet), how soon after the captcha test for posting on this forum was dropped did the increase in drug ads begin? I've only been on the forum for a couple of years and haven't posted a lot, but it feels like for at least the first year or so, I always had to go through the captcha routine (which was a pain, but not nearly as bad as these ads). If there is some relationship here, was the change something inherent in the software or is it something Big Nick could reverse?

Re: Solstice, Christmas and drug ads :-(

I'll look into it. I don't know if the captcha thing is still a Bravenet option
or not.

But, I'm fairly certain that we were getting those annoying ads even when
the captcha filter was active.

Thanks for your suggestion :-)

Re: Solstice, Christmas and drug ads :-(

I came across this map today:
So, if medical it's legal now in Louisiana.

American Alpine Jounrna and Accidents in North American Climbing

A Fight for Life on Monte Rosa

A Fight for Life on Monte Rosa

MOUNTAINEERING is full of light and air. The early call, the quick breakfast, and away into the darkness with the flashlight picking a way through the rocks of the terminal moraine. Thus it started for Fritz Lenz and me, leaving the Bétemps hut to climb the Cresta Rey of Monte Rosa. This route is seldom climbed but reportedly offers a fine rock climb to the very top of the Dufourspitze. After we had been plagued by snow and ice in several other areas of the Alps, the thought of a good rock route had much greater appeal than the snow slog up the regular route.

The night before, we had read the scanty details given in the guide book and looked at the drawings. We had been warned to by-pass the smaller ridges coming down from Monte Rosa towards the Grenz Glacier. After traversing the huge moraine, we reached the ice, put on our crampons, and started up the easy glacier. This gradually steepened. We were soon in the Grenz icefall, notable for its huge block-like structures and enormous crevasses. We temporarily lost the route and had to work down an ice cliff, but we were soon able once more to follow the faint footsteps of previous parties. The bridges over the crevasses were solid in the cold morning air and we made good time over the ice. We were now on the upper smoother section of the glacier from where the Lyskamm glowed golden in the morning light. At this time a great ridge made up of several spires was seen extending down from Monte Rosa. We concluded that this ridge, the highest point visible, was our route. It looked like a formidable rock problem, but since the guide book had not mentioned any unusual difficulties, we went forward to see. On one side was an overhanging ice slope, which was to be avoided. On the other, boiler-plate slabs of granite led up to the first tower. But first the bergschrund had to be crossed. It was bridged only at one spot by the remains of a sizable snow avalanche. The snow was not well packed and the deep, dark interior on either side was not a pleasant prospect. With a firm belay we crossed safely and made our way to the slabs, which proved most uncompromising. Holds were few, and belay spots were more suggestive than real. Above these slabs the ridge rose steeply. Fritz chose to lead up the left side. Here the rock was twisted into contorted strata, some firm, some loose, and always difficult, with many strata lying vertically rather than horizontally. Several traverses were made in the hope of finding more pleasant strata, but to no avail. We were making fairly good time, however, and had climbed about 1000 feet of rock when we reached a narrow couloir which from below we could see led to a break in the ridge. Here we found an overhang covered with verglas. Fritz placed a piton and snap link and I belayed him while he solved this tricky problem. Above, the couloir sloped inward and then rose steeply and I could no longer see the climb. The rope slowly went out as Fritz progressed upward. Almost the full length of the rope was out when I heard a faint scuffle above. Almost immediately, and to my astonished horror, Fritz shot out from the overhang and plunged down the couloir out of sight. A moment later the jerk on the rope came. I was shot up against the rocks with great force. Blackness and silence engulfed the scene. When I came to, I lay against a big boulder, splattered with blood. One of my eyes was swollen and a cut at the side was bleeding; a deep scalp cut also added to the trickle down the side of my face. My right hand was swollen and cut, but fortunately the fingers all worked without pain.

Upon the return of consciousness I began to consider the situation. Surely Fritz must be dead from such a fall, and the chances of getting down 1000 feet of formidable rocks, plus the negotiation of the badly crevassed icefall alone, were very small indeed. “Everett, you’ve had it,” I thought, but one must at least fight.

Slowly I got to my feet. Immediately I was jerked towards the carabiner by Fritz’s weight on the rope. My ribs ached. I was slowly drawn towards the carabiner and to an awkward position against the rocks. Cut the rope? No, that was out because Fritz might possibly be alive. I finally thought out a way to tie the rope and cut myself loose. The task seemed impossible, especially since I was being held awkwardly on tiptoe against the rocks by the rope. I had just succeeded in untying the first knot when I heard Fritz yell, “What happened? Are you all right?” Fritz was alive! “Fritz, are you all right? Can you move?” “Yes. Pull up the rope and I’ll climb up.” Slowly, as I pulled on the rope, Fritz climbed up the couloir to the ledge. His clothes were torn and there was a small bump on his forehead but no bloody wounds. He sat down. His pallor evidenced the shock he had sustained. Also, he was mentally confused. By now our position was all too clear. It was obvious that Fritz was still able to climb and had not lost his technical skill, but the problem of finding the route and keeping the effort sustained was going to be up to me. Getting down 1000 feet of difficult rocks and crossing snow-covered, crevassed glaciers and icefalls were our only possible means of escape. By now the wind was coming in roaring gusts, ice cold and carrying bits of stinging ice. After surveying the situation for a few minutes, I told Fritz that our only chance of survival was a successful descent of the rocks, since the wind would freeze us into two battered gendarmes within a very short time.

In our condition the direct descent of the upper cliffs was out of the question. The only feasible route appeared down a 60° ice couloir. We rappelled down to the edge of this ice slope, which plunged down to end above another section of cliffs. Here we put on our crampons, a formidable undertaking in itself. The damnable wind raged and battered us. Fritz had lost his ice-axe in the fall. Fortunately, he is an expert ice craftsman and has had experience in using his piton hammer as an additional axe on steep ice. I started down the ice slope facing in. The thin snow cover was firm and the crampons held well. The ice-axe head could not be sunk deep enough to give any feeling of security. After descending a rope length to a small ice ledge and cutting out steps for a belay spot, Fritz began to descend. With a technique both perfect yet automatic he descended slowly towards me. By now the shock was wearing off and the pain from his swollen ankles was becoming unbearable. At times he swayed, but we had to go on. Several more rope lengths and we were on a wide ledge. Fritz slumped down in a half faint and asked for food and water. I opened the pack and found half a chocolate bar and a half-filled canteen. The ankle pain was now really affecting him. Fortunately, I had morphine tablets with me. I gave him one.

The wind was roaring down the couloir, driving the fine particles of ice into our faces. We must go on for we were still high up on the rocks with the glacier far below. I realized the slabs to our left would be a dangerous if not impossible route for descent, and so I started down to the right, following another ice couloir for a few hundred feet. We were now forced to take to the rocks. Our condition, our position, and the wind made it impossible to remove our crampons. The rock was in steep, almost vertical folds with no breaks or obvious lines of weakness in sight. Climbing down on small ledges, we descended another hundred feet. Since Fritz was again near collapse, we sat on a small ledge. The pack was removed and opened for a drink of water. In the shuffle the rope picked it up, and to our horror we watched it go bounding off into space. It contained several extra pitons and carabiners. Fortunately, Fritz had five pitons and three carabiners; I had two carabiners and a rope sling. With at least 400 feet to the glacier and the holds becoming thinner, it was obvious we would need these and perhaps even then be hung up. I searched out every possible section for routes to save on precious ironware, but soon a narrow exposed crack was more than Fritz could tackle in his condition. He placed one piton, which didn’t set. He placed another. The ping told us it was firm. But pound as he would, the other piton would not loosen. The wind roared and we could not stop, so we had to leave that precious iron spike behind. This left us three pitons and a rope sling.

Exhausted and feeling faint, Fritz swayed, clinging to the small holds. We traversed downward and were soon stopped by a sheer face. A crack here made a piton possible, so we reluctantly used one and descended to a ledge 50 feet below. This was the critical point. From here the route had to be determined. It was the point of no return. I studied the rock face and the wild glacier below. Yes, it would go. “Fritz,” I yelled, “we’re going to make it!” Two more piton rappels, a traverse to the only boulder on the face, and a sling rappel would see us down. At least it looked possible if some appropriate cracks could be found. Fritz was somewhat wobbly, but with dogged determination he set the pitons till they rang. The last one didn’t give this assuring sound, but there was no alternative. We descended with care and as smoothly as possible. A short traverse brought us to that much needed rock. I took off my rappel sling, placed it over the rock, and threaded our rope. I could see the ends dangling at the very edge of the glacier, which was a shambles of small and large crevasses presenting a ticklish problem at the end of the rappel. I looked around and could see no route we could have climbed down. It was indeed the edge of survival.

On reaching the glacier, I had to find a spot to stand while Fritz rappelled down. Near the rocks the glacier was a mass of gaping holes and the snow soft and rotten. Probing with my axe, I finally round a firm spot and waited for Fritz. With great effort he descended and landed in a small crevasse but was able to extricate himself.

We now pulled on the rope, watching the end travel up. It must not get caught! But as the end came over, it dropped into a small crack and stuck. Fortunately, a few motions loosened it and with a hiss it fell to our feet. Fritz was exceedingly exhausted from this long, sustained effort and sank down in the snow. “Fritz,” I said, “we’re going to live but we must go on. There’s still a hell of a lot of glacier to get down before we’re safe, and a night on the glacier in our condition would be a terrible business.” We realized that his ankles would grow continually worse and that to keep going was our only possible course. We roped up and started down the glacier. Here the wind that had battered us was no longer important but a powerful sun had worked on the snow all day and had softened the bridges over the crevasses. We fell into endless small ones, and routes used in the morning led to the edge of some enormous ones, now open. A new route had to be threaded through these, by careful probing of edges and jumping to clear soft edges. Fortunately, we avoided the big ones, but the small ones made life unpleasant, and Fritz, who was heavier, seemed to open all those I didn’t find. It was a slow, exhausting business. The grandeur of the Grenz icefall and its great ice blocks now seemed a huge trap waiting to drop us into its icy depths. This was the last serious problem. It was now six o’clock and we were on the lower glacier. Here there were still soft snow and small crevasses, but we could make much better time.

Finally, the great terminal moraine loomed into view and, to get off the snow, we headed for it. The sun was now setting and only an hour of daylight remained. The boulder-hopping was a slow and painful problem for Fritz. Slowly we went along the ice, looking for cairns to lead the way. We had taken the moraine too soon, and when darkness came at 9:00 P.M., we were still stumbling along through the rocks, our flashlight making it possible to continue. At 10:00 we reached a point where far below two other lights were flashed up at us. The route was still difficult to find in the great boulder-strewn moraine. Finally, we reached the path that leads along the spine of the moraine down to the Bétemps Hut. Now it was safe to leave Fritz and I turned down towards the hut for help. The two lights came up the trail toward me. Voices spoke only French. I held my flashlight up to my bloody face. “Accident,” I said, pointing up the path, and went on towards the hut. The hut keeper’s daughter looked at my blood-covered clothes and face and went to get her mother. Fritz, with the two good Samaritans accompanying him, arrived shortly in a state of collapse. It was after 11:00 P.M. and we had taken 12 hours to get down. After a bowl of hot soup and some bandaging, we went to bed.

It had been a close call. Next day I had a very severe chest cold and went on to Zermatt, where I gave the tourists the rare sight of a very black eye. Three husky Austrians, friends of Fritz, carried him in a rope seat across the glacier from the hut to the path—a Herculean feat. With grim determination he walked unassisted along the trail to the train and then up to the hospital in Zermatt. X-ray revealed a broken ankle. Fortunately in his great fall he had landed on his back in snow between the narrow, jagged walls of the couloir.

Now it’s all past and we’re looking at the peaks again. Mountaineering is full of light and air.

Asia, Pakistan, Nanga Parbat via Rakiot Face Attempt

Nanga Parbat via Rakiot Face Attempt. Our expedition was composed of Angelo Giovanetti, Claudio Toldo, Costante Carpella, Francesco Mich, Roberto Dall’O and me as leader. On June 6, after two days of travel, we arrived at Base Camp at 4000 meters at the foot of the north face of Nanga Parbat. From the first day, we encountered great objective dangers in the form of avalanches which swept the face at all hours day and night. On June 9, we placed Advance Base at 4500 meters. In ten days we fixed 1600 meters of rope on the least dangerous part of the lower face and established a camp at 5400 meters. From the Diama Col we reached a buttress at 6500 meters on June 20. At that point, we had overcome the hardest part of the climb technically, but we needed acclimatization to be able to continue along the new route. However, because of a strong rise in temperature, the route became so dangerous that we gave up the attempt to reach the summit.

Asia, Tibet, Everest, Kangshung Face, Second Ascent of Neverest Buttress

Everest, Kangshung Face, Second Ascent of Neverest Buttress. On May 15, three members of our Chilean expedition summited on Mount Everest, after completing the second ascent of the east face of Everest directly to the South Col. (See AAJ, 1989, pages 1-16 for first ascent.) We were the first Chileans and the first South Americans to reach the top. After a nine-day march from Kharta with 84 porters, rather than yaks, hired after unjustifiable excuses from the Chinese authorities, we established Base Camp at 5400 meters on the Kang- shung Glacier on April 7. Following the 1988 route, we placed Camp I at 6400 meters on April 20. This was above the Cauliflower Ridge, where we encountered UIAA V+ difficulties on rock with verglas and overhanging ice, all threatened by avalanches. On May 6, we established Camp II at 7400 meters. Packing loads in waist-deep snow over a badly crevassed glacier was difficult. After a rest at Base Camp, the entire team climbed to the South Col, starting on May 10 and getting there four days later. We rested one day because of high winds. On May 15, Cristián García-Huidobro, Juan Sebastián Montes and I reached the summit at 10:25 A.M. There we met 14 climbers who had ascended the normal route from Nepal. Even more shocking was the contrast of styles, seeing how the Sherpas had broken trail for their clients and carried their rucksacks, spare oxygen bottles and thermos bottles with hot tea. Has the adventure of climbing Everest been lost? Our expedition recovered almost all of the 2000 meters of fixed rope, all hardware, tents and empty oxygen bottles. Other members of our expedition were Dr. Alfonso Diaz, Christian Buracchio, Claudio Lucero, Dagoberto Delgado and Sherpas Chuldim Dorje, Nima and Karma Lama.

Rich Davidson, 1950-1996

Rich Davidson, 46, of Los Alamos, New Mexico, and his tent mate Debbie Marshall, 31, of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, died while climbing Annapurna IV in Nepal on October 4. The two suffocated in their sleep at 18,000 feet when unusually heavy snowfall collapsed their tent. Rich’s and Debbie’s bodies were recovered by their climbing partners and laid to rest on a hillside overlooking Base Camp.

Rich was bom on May 29, 1950, in Grand Junction, Colorado. He graduated at the top of his class from the Wentworth Military Academy, Lexington, Missouri in 1968. He attended New Mexico State University, where he received his BS in 1971 and MS in 1973 in Civil Engineering. He received an MBA from the University of Idaho in 1976 and was a registered professional engineer.

After working six years as a senior engineer for EG&G, Inc. in Idaho, Rich took a job at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1979 in the Design Analysis Group. He worked in several Laboratory groups and was currently a member of the Engineering Analysis Group.

Rich was an experienced mountaineer, having led or participated in many climbs in the Rocky Mountains, Alaska, Nepal, China, Mexico, Africa, and South America. He attempted Muzhtag Ata via the west ridge in 1984, Himalchuli via the southwest ridge in 1985 and Aconcagua via the north ridge in 1988. The latter two attempts were foiled by bad weather. He climbed Ixtachihutl, Popocatepetl, and Orizaba in 1979. In 1982, he climbed Mt. Faye, Mt. Athabasca, and Mt. Huber. A combined climbing and animal-watching trip in 1994 allowed him to summit Kilimanjaro via Marangu. In 1995, he climbed Denali via the West Buttress Route and Mt. Rainier on the turista route. The list of peaks in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho is far too long to list here.

He never considered himself a “peak bagger,” preferring to make his list “other people’s lists.” He accompanied/helped many of us up the harder Colorado 14ers, often by the more difficult routes. In his Denali journal he wrote, “It’s not conquering the mountain, but conquering something within—the satisfaction of personal achievement, the inner feeling of strength from sharing the summit with the mountain… some summits are really special. Denali was special.”

Rich was an avid back-country skier, road and mountain biker, rock and ice climber, kayaker, jogger, and backpacker. He was best known for his willingness and ability to mentor novices ranging from young summer students to adult first-time climbers. He was a superb teacher, taking the time and having the patience to introduce novices to the sports that he loved. Whether it was rock climbing, skiing, climbing a first Colorado 14er, or teaching avalanche and mountain safety, Rich’s concerns were first to ensure safety, and second to make sure everyone was having a good time. Like any true teacher he allowed the student to be in the spotlight and have the feeling that he was doing something “world class.” He leaves a wonderful legacy of loving students and friends who will remember him as a special sharing person and who feel fortunate to have had Rich touch their lives.

Needless to say, Rich will be on our minds whenever we have any backcountry experience that he would have enjoyed. In that way, he will certainly live on.

North America, Canada, British Columbia, Purcell Mountains, Block Tower, Trout Fishing in America

Block Tower, Trout Fishing in America. Guy Edwards and I spent seven days in early September in the remote and practically untouched Leaning Tower group, west of the town of Kimberly and south of the popular Bugaboos. Our first day was spent reconnoitering the impressive east face of Block and Wall towers and climbing the South Ridge (Enagonio-Mank, 1988) of Block Tower via a direct line through the overhanging headwall instead of traversing around the difficulties as the original route does. Our South Ridge Direct (III 5.10d) was the third ascent of the spire. The next two days were spent fixing the first three pitches on the unclimbed east face of Block Tower. We found a discontinuous crack system that yielded to thin nailing, beaking and hooking with the odd rivet move producing challenging aid; both Guy and I took short yet powerful falls. After a rest day (during which Guy soloed the northwest ridge of Wall Tower, a IV 5.7) we jugged our fixed ropes, committed to completing the route. Three more deceptively difficult aid pitches deposited us at the base of the final rope length as the darkening clouds released their contents just in time for Guy to lead the 5.10+ crack (the only free pitch on the route). Two wet and tired climbers popped out onto the summit of Block Tower in near darkness for the second time that week. We named our mini-alpine big wall Trout Fishing in America (V 5.10+ A3) after the bizarre yet entertaining Richard Brautigan book we had with us. Our route was the first ascent of the east face of Block Tower.

Fall on Rock, Placed Inadequate Protection, Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park, Organ Pipes

Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park, Organ Pipes

On April 28, 1991, Charles Sharp (34) took a 15 foot lead fall while leading the second pitch of Organ Pipes on the Twin Owls at Lumpy Ridge, Rocky Mountain National Park. Sharp impacted on a ledge and sustained an open tibia/fibula fracture of his right leg. Partner Jeff Defalco stabilized Sharp on the ledge, and then left to get help. The park service rescue team, supplemented with Colorado Mountain School guides, lowered Sharp vertically in a litter 240 feet, and then rerigged the litter for about 1,000 feet of non-vertical scree evacuation to the trail and then to an ambulance.

When leading above intrusive features such as ledges, the leader should consider placing protection in such a manner that if a fall were to occur, he would not hit the obstacle. Remember that it is the landing and not the fall which generally causes the damage! (Source: Jim Detterline, Ranger, RMNP)

The last few days of the last three years have brought home to me one of the big problems in grandparenting identical futago (twins; literally “two-child”), which is that you can't tell them apart without using a magic marker or something, and the older and more experienced and more familiar they get with this inadequacy of yours, the more they take advantage of it.

This is a problem because in order to assert full command with crafty toddlers you have to act fast, use names fast and accurately. Saying "Miasa, stop that!" to Mitsuki is not commanding at all, in fact it is downright wimpy and comical, and Mitsuki knows it. Or is that really Miasa.

Needless to say, both take advantage of it, whichever either one is, as is always the case in an intensely evolutionary situation such as grandparenting. So the way it goes is, you're wrong half the time with one twin and half the time with the other, which in Twin Mathematics, a special field I'm developing, adds up to 100%.

For example, I see Kaya and one twin downstairs and suddenly water starts dripping from the ceiling. I have to act fast, they don't carry IDs, I have to take a shot. Mitsuki! Stop pouring water on the floor! Mitsuki looks at me out of the corner of one eye and grins knowingly as she continues letting the air out of something I just put air into. I run upstairs to snatch the water bottle from the one who is in fact Miasa, at least for now, and with the delay has succeeded in getting all the water out. She is wearing the same subtle, non-provoking grin as her sister.

Young as they are (an ominous three this month) they know their world and its inhabitants. They could never pull this stuff on their mother, who can tell them apart faster than they can misbehave. So they enjoy being around me. I enjoy being around them too, but not for the same reason. Every time I finally figure out which is which without depending merely on who's wearing what - which is only good for a day anyway - they head back home up north, and when next I see them they're a few months older and have morphed to a confusing extent into each other's physiognomies. If I didn't know better, I'd say they planned it.

Their names have changed as well: "No, this is Mitsuki. That's Miasa." Or vice-versa. I've thought maybe of different sounding bells or something while they're here, because crucial time is lost when you say "Mitsuki, don't write on the window" and Miasa doesn't even react, apart from the twitch about the lips indicating that you've named the grinning twin who's trying the scissors on something over there, and you know you've lost again.

Yet won at the same time, somehow.

Joy Des Jardins said...

I'm laughing! As a mother of identical twin girls, who was the only one who could tell them apart for a long time, I'm laughing....and I'm sorry Robert. Try as you may, they will confuse you with every adorable grin...AND it STILL could get worse. But, OH the fun they are. I WILL figure out who's who....eventually; because THEY'RE going to want YOU to know.

Robert Brady said...

Thanks, joy; you give me hope.

Maya's Granny said...

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Anyone who raises twins has my admiration.

Maya has twin aunts, Maya and Melissa. They aren't even identical, but when Julie would go to visit her father and I would call, I couldn't tell which one had answered the phone. Not just, was it Maya or Melissa, but was it MY child!

Pam said...

Is there any chance you can call them both "Mi-chan" and get away with it?
(Oh duh! I just now figured out what their names probably look like in Japanese. Is the "Mi" ?? I'm all set with the "asa" and "tsuki". That's cool!)

Tabor said...

Have you tried temporary tattoos? Kids love those. You could put one on the right hand of one twin and the other on the left hand.

Mary Lou said...

It is a terrorist plot to drive grandfathers insane. Although lovingly! and of course Kaya wont help out either will she, being part of the conspiracy...She has told them already how easy you are to wrap around their little fingers! ;)

Kid Stuff: Letter of Recommendation for a Feline

Found in one of Connor's old creative writing journals; footnotes mine:

My cat is a genius. He can answer any addition problem you ask him.  If you say, is four plus four eight, he will twitch his left ear.  Mainly if he moves his left ear it means yes and if he moves his right ear it means no.

I am thinking of taking him to a pet show. I think that he would win first prize. Even if he did not win I would still love him. No matter what happens Max is the best cat ever. FN1

Max is the smartest cat ever. FN2

He might even be smarter than me. FN3

If he is smarter than me then he is really smart. I hope he is smart but I don't want him to be smarter than me. FN4

That would be wrong - really, really, really wrong.

FN1: I tend to agree.

FN2: Um . . . yeah. For the record: Max is dumber than a stump.

FN3: Way to toot your own horn there, kid. Although - considering that Max is on an intellectual level with the aforementioned remains of a dead tree - saying that he's smarter than you doesn't say a whole lot about YOU. So, really, you're selling yourself a bit short.

FN4: Ah, refreshing little kid honesty.

Barbie’s companion Ken gets new looks: Man bun, beefy bod

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

On Tuesday, June20, 2107, Mattel unveiled a collection of diverse Ken dolls. Barbie’s iconic boyfriend is now available in three body types — slim, broad and original — and seven different skin tones.

NEW YORK (AP) — He’s been overshadowed by Barbie for decades, but now Ken is finally getting some attention.

Mattel is introducing 15 new looks for the male doll, including different skin tones, body shapes and hair styles. Barbie had a similar makeover more than a year ago, both part of the toy company’s plan to make its dolls more diverse and appealing to today’s kids.

Ken hadn’t changed much since he was introduced 56 years ago as Barbie’s blue-eyed, chiseled boyfriend. Now he’ll be sold in three body shapes: “slim,” ”broad” and “original.”

He’ll have modern hairdos, such as cornrows and man buns, and come in seven skin tones. And he’ll also be sporting new fashions: think skinny ties, plaid shirts and graphic tees.

“We are redefining what a Barbie or Ken doll looks like to this generation,” said Mattel’s Lisa McKnight, who oversees the Barbie line.

Mattel is trying to fight falling sales of its iconic doll line at a time when many kids would rather play with an iPad. Barbie sales were down 13 percent in the first three months of the year compared with the same period a year ago. A live-action Barbie movie is in the works for next year, with hopes that the big-screen flick will spur doll sales as well.

Ken was in need of a makeover, said Jim Silver, the editor-in-chief of toy review website TTPM. He said kids who play with the revamped Barbie dolls don’t want an outdated Ken.

“He’s part of the storyline and he has to fit in with the picture,” Silver said, “or you would lose sales.”

Some of the new $10 Ken dolls were being rolled out to shops and online stores Tuesday, Mattel Inc. said, and all of them will be on store shelves by the holidays.

The El Segundo, California-based company also announced new Barbie looks Tuesday, including one with a nearly shaved head and another with an Afro. Mattel has been tinkering with other lines to be more inclusive, such as adding its first boy doll for the American Girl brand.

Mattel debuted the Ken doll in 1961. He wore red swim shorts and cork sandals. His look has since evolved over the decades.

Nautical Living Room Interior Design Ideas

One of the more popular ideas in themed interior designs is the nautical look. The word itself, nautical, should give you a sense of what this look is about. It is all about calming blue colors in various shade options, be it light blue, sea blue, sky blue or navy blue. One of the more popular color pairs for the nautical look is white, but vibrant constrast colors such as red can also work.

While the nautical look can be applied in the bedrooms - the wide range of nautical beddings are indication of the look's popularity - the nautical look can be a great look for a living room too.

Take a look at the article below that provides tips that you can use in creating a nautical themed living room look.

Decorating a Nautical Themed Living Room Or Bedroom
By James R Shaw

Nautical themes are very popular right now, especially for living room or bedroom décor. When you're planning to use a nautical theme, the first thing you should do is paint the walls blue, like the water. Depending on your tastes you can use anything from very pale blue to bright or dark blue; any shade of blue will work with a nautical theme. When decorating your nautical themed living room or bedroom, consider scenes you may encounter when walking along a boardwalk or at a marina, and use those as your inspiration.

Nautical décor should include elements that you would find on a boat. Natural ropes, netting, accents in bright red and white, and a porthole motif can all be easy ways to tie everything together. You can also add a few flags tied to the tallest piece of furniture in the room, or use wooden flags that can be hung around the top of the walls all the way around your room. If you have wood paneling, don't cover it up; wood paneling on interior walls can remind you of the interior cabin on a ship or inside a beach house.

For the walls and windows, canvas is a traditional material that is very popular in nautical décor. It can be used for curtains, dust ruffles for the bed, and other details. Canvas curtains hung with the use of large eyelets are a classic piece of nautical décor. You can even recycle an old sail, if you have access to one. The canvas can also be used to cover cushions or throw pillows.

Use natural wood furniture or paint your furniture white or cream, possibly with a distressed look, to make it fit in with your nautical décor. The paint should not be shiny or new-looking; it should look as if the furniture has had years of use on the beach or out to sea. If you're choosing a whole new set of furniture to go with the nautical look, go for those that look like they belong in a beach cabin, including Adirondack chairs and wooden furniture. If you want to get creative with the furniture, you can even use a hammock for a chair or bed to represent a fishing net. Boat shaped beds are also a possibility. If you choose to stay with a regular bed, use blue and white bedding with red accents. These are the traditional "nautical" colors.

As for as decorations are concerned, paddles and oars are an appropriate touch for any nautical-themed room. Pictures of sailing boats or other nautical or beach themes can be a great way to provide a centerpiece in the room. Model sailboats, lighthouses, anchors, ship wheels, life rings, and vintage glass fishing floats can bring a nautical style to the walls, bookshelves, and tables in the room.

When done right, a nautical themed room is unique and inviting. It should instantly remind you of the seaside. If you want your room to be more relaxing than exciting, choose a color scheme consisting of white, khaki, and any shade of blue. Adding a pop of red or yellow can add excitement to the room.

Royal Tiki specializes in genuine Hawaiian-made Nautical Decor that will be perfect for your Nautical themed Living Room or Bedroom.

I sat up on a broken wall at the front of the church, reading my book and watching the shadows slowly creep up the left-hand wall. No one else came into the church during my stay, and I had the ruins all to myself. It was extremely quiet inside, but not eerily so. Only the wind, birds, and occasional sounds of civilization disturbed the silence.

It turns out the island wasn't entirely empty, as everyone came from far and wide to witness the gala event: the musical fountain's sound and light show. In essence, a huge array of aligned fountains created a giant wall of water, onto which was projected a 3D dancing and singing monkey. Furthermore, fifty-foot fountains were simultaneously sprayed by synchronized spigots, carefully choreographed into an amazing audible aquatic-art act. Though I couldn't make out the sound clear enough from my Lion perch, the show was impressive nonetheless.

Joni Mitchell, 44 years ago

The year is 1965 and she is 22 or so here, performing “Me and My Uncle”, a song written by John Phillips (later of the Mamas and Papas) on Oscar Brand’s Canadian show Let’s Sing Out, which from memory was on Saturday nights here at 6 or 6.30. As was The Johnny Cash Show (see here for what you missed), Hootenanny, and Hullabaloo, which featured the Stones, the Animals, Ike and Tina Turner, the Supremes. . . TV really was better then.
