As a comedian, then producer of Seinfeld, and subsequently the creator and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David cultivated a fanatical following. In his early stand-up days, if he walked on stage and didn't like the crowd, he would walk off. Together with Jerry Seinfeld, he pitched NBC on a sitcom where nothing happens. A whole show could be about waiting in line at a Chinese restaurant. And somehow Seinfeld became the most successful comedy show of all time.
After nine years of writing and producing Seinfeld, and after making a huge amount of money, Larry David began to create a new show for HBO. Without much separation between himself and the character he played, Curb Your Enthusiasm followed the daily routines of Larry David. Being politically correct was far from Larry's mind, and the audience cringed as he berated, tormented, and blustered his way into the hearts of TV watchers.
Follow the early exploits of Larry's stand-up career, his days writing for Seinfeld, and learn how Curb was conceived and developed. Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good — titled after Larry's key catchphrase — also explores Larry's on- and off-screen relationships with famous pals like Richard Lewis, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, and the cast of Seinfeld, and contains an in-depth episode guide to the first seven seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Josh Levine is a freelance television critic and the author of Jerry Seinfeld: Much Ado About Nothing and David E. Kelley: The Man Behind Ally McBeal.
Curb Your Enthusiasm is a show that divides people. There are those who love it, find it excruciatingly funny, and revel in its taboo-breaking humor, in the aggressive outbursts of its characters, in its depiction of social, moral, physical, and sexual humiliations. They see Larry David as a Freudian id out of control, unable to conjure up the social restraints that stop the rest of us from saying what we really think and feel. And yet they appreciate that Larry, for all his selfishness, his childlike and neurotic behavior, is a man who enjoys and even embraces life.
These fans see the show as a step up from the more conventionally framed Seinfeld, with its traditional set, three-camera shooting, punch lines, and laugh track. They consider Curb a far less comfortable show: darker, edgier, and more honest. They appreciate its use of improvisation and handheld camera work, the result of which is rougher and gives a more "real" feel to the show, despite the often-complicated plotlines. They appreciate its fearless examination of cultural attitudes to religion, race, physical disabilities, and sex — in a manner that, while highly politically incorrect, is in no way conservative or right-wing. They see it as just as funny as Seinfeld but in a more painful way.
And then there are those who can't stand Curb Your Enthusiasm, who have tried to watch it and find themselves unable to sit through its excruciating social embarrassments, its scenes of characters almost apoplectic with rage, saying things that should never be said, and its relentless references to sex acts, sex parts, rashes, bruises, injuries, urination, and defecation. What, they say, is enjoyable about any of that?
What's amazing is that the descriptions given by both sides are totally accurate. The show is all these things. And it is these things because of one man and his skewed, dark, hilarious, distressingly honest revelations of human behavior. Larry David.
As the co-creator of Seinfeld and the author of nearly sixty of its scripts, Larry David was already one of the most successful television creator/writers of all time before Curb Your Enthusiasm. His wealth has been estimated at somewhere in the vicinity of $300 million and even as you read this it is growing rapidly from Seinfeld's syndication rights. Now, as the creator, writer, and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm— a show with a large, cultlike following compared with the blockbuster Seinfeld— he has become one of the most innovative artists of the small screen.
When someone is rich and famous it seems to the world to have been inevitable. But with Larry David, success was no sure thing. In his early forties, he was a little-known, modestly successful comic, receiving muted responses from audiences and low pay for his gigs. He had a crummy apartment and sometimes made barely enough money for food. He had tried some television writing, making money for short periods, but had made no impression on the shows he worked for. He was frustrated and even angry, not only by the lack of success but by the lack of understanding and interest from the comedy-club audiences. In fact, he didn't like the audience much, which may be why they, in turn, didn't like him.
Larry David looked, in fact, like he was headed for failure. But even so, he refused to compromise, to change his act or his comic approach in order to pander to an audience that he considered to have grown soft and complacent from watching Tonight Show–style comics. He had a fresh, unusual view, not always a pleasant one, and though he was no intellectual (he didn't much like reading books) he had insights into ordinary, seemingly trivial aspects of human behavior that others had missed.
These innovations did not come from nowhere. They were rooted in his Brooklyn Jewish middle-class upbringing. They were rooted most particularly in Jewish comedy, a humor descended from the Jewish tummler, the comic figure who would joke and ridicule and tease guests at traditional Jewish weddings back in the shtetls of Europe. It was a humor that found its way into American vaudeville and then into the mouths of the great Jewish comedians of the past (Groucho Marx, Jack Benny, Shelley Berman, Don Rickles, Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen), a dark comedy of cynicism, complaint, aggravation, aggression, humiliation, neediness, and restless energy — an insider kind of humor that by some miracle became popular with the larger American audience.
When his mother would phone Larry to ask how he was doing, Larry wouldn't want to tell her the truth. "Pretty, pretty, pretty good," he would say, each "pretty" qualifying the one before. It is very possible that Larry David could have continued to travel the small New York comedy-club circuit, scraping by, becoming ever more disgusted and bitter. Or he might have finally quit, to take on the kind of low-level job that he had worked in after college. But another comedian, an infinitely more successful one, as much a professional colleague as a friend, asked Larry for help. A television network had asked him to develop a show, and the comic, Jerry Seinfeld, had a hunch that Larry might be able to help him.
It was a good hunch.

WHO publishes ICD 11 beta
Posted on 22. August 2014 in Health & Depathologisation, Press
A step in the right direction: WHO proposes to remove F64 "gender identity disorders" from the mental and behavioural disorders
TGEU welcomes that in the ICD 11 beta draft section 7: Mental and behavioural disorders (used to be section F in the ICD 10) the category "gender identity disorders" has been removed. As well other stigmatizing categories from the former F65 category such as Fetishism, Fetishistic transvestitism or sadomasochism do not show any more.
The WHO proposes a "gender incongruence" category under the new section 6: "Conditions related to sexual health". The new category includes both Gender incongruence of adolescence and adulthood (6A50) and Gender incongruence of childhood (6A51). Not labelling trans people as mentally ill anymore will be an important step forward and will help to reduce stigma.
To include "Gender incongruence of adolescence and adulthood" in the sexual health category is something that trans human rights NGOs such as Global Action for Trans* Equality (GATE), Stop Trans Pathologization (STP) and Transgender Europe (TGEU) have been demanding. However, the definition needs to be clearly focusing on trans people with a need for medical treatment.
Unfortunately the WHO experts did not follow the recommendation of trans activists to drop the diagnosis of gender incongruence in childhood completely from the ICD 11.
"In the next years it will be our task to lobby the WHO to remove the childhood diagnosis completely from the ICD 11 as it is an unnecessary category. Children need the freedom to be who they are. But before puberty there is no need for medical treatment and therefore no need for inclusion in the ICD. At the same time we will have to closely follow and analyse the details of the Gender incongruence chapter." says Julia Ehrt, Executive Director of TGEU.
The proposed shift of the categories relevant for trans persons could be the first step towards an alternative approach towards trans identities within the medical and psychological establishment. The careful reader will notice that the wording of the category is non-binary and potentially open for more than just male and female genders. However we will have to see whether the category stays like this until the final vote of the WHO general assembly anticipated for 2017 and if it does how it will eventually be applied in everyday practice.

Can I wear open toe shoes with dark tights in the fall-winter? And are black tights with short shorts a look only for young women? MD You can definitely wear open toe shoes with dark tights when the weather gets chilly. I think it's a look that works best if the shoes are not too strappy and have a closed heel, however I tend to be somewhat conservative. Also, unless you want to shorten the look of your legs I suggest keeping the tights and shoes in the same tonal range, i.e. black or dark grey tights with black shoes. If you're feeling adventurous you might want to try a high contrast look, such as pairing pink tights with burgundy, or even turquoise shoes.

If you're feeling adventurous you might want to try a high contrast look, such as pairing pink tights with burgundy, or even turquoise shoes.
You might also want to consider cutting the feet of the tights off all together. Polo Ralph Lauren's fall look book showed lots of dresses worn with opaque footless tights and strappy sandals.
As for black tights with short shorts I'd say it has more to do with your legs than your age; it's no different than wearing a very short black skirt with black tights. I also subscribe by the old dictum if you have to ask, the answer is probably no. Long black shorts with black tights is an easier look to wear, whatever your age.
As I only have basic cable I've never seen Outlander. But through the magic of Google and pinterest I learned the show is primarily based in 18th century Scotland so there's lots of tartan, fur, heavy wool, and what back in the day would be called bodice ripping. Vivienne Westwood has been doing a high fashion version of the look for years.
Terry Dresbach, the costume designer of the show, has an eponymously named blog (terrydresbach.com) you might want to check out. Subtitled An 18th Century Life, it includes chat forums about the clothes. Dresbach herself recommends searching "Outlander fashion" on Etsy for handmade knitwear, but why not get crafty and learn to knit your own? Stash Lounge in Inglewood has classes such as Seedy Fingerless Mitts, which is good for beginners, and Quick Cable Cowl, for those with a bit of experience. Each class is two and a half hours, and the $60 cost includes all supplies needed. They also have private classes available for more personal instruction. Go to stashlounge.com or call 4030457-0766 for more information.
If you've no time for crafts, you can find scarves, shawls and wraps that reference the look at anthropologie.com. Their tweedy Clairaut Cape (think the name is a coincidence?) of acrylic, mohair and polyester, is $138.
And while you didn't ask about Claire's wedding ring — which seems to have played a starring role in Season 1 — similar ones, as well as all things Scottish, can be found at The Scottish Shoppe, 1206 17 Ave S.W., 403-264-6383.

Rebecca Bredow: Michigan Mom Sentenced to 7 Days in Jail for Not Vaccinating Her Son
Rebecca Bredow, a mother-of-two from Michigan, has been sentenced to seven days in jail after she refused a judge's order to have her son vaccinated.
The woman would not let her 9-year-old boy be immunized after initially agreeing with the father to do so.
Rebecca Bredow's ex-husband has now been awarded temporary primary custody in order to get the boy the jab.
Michigan parents are legally allowed to skip or delay their children's vaccinations due to personal beliefs.
However, Rebecca Bredow fell foul of the law because she reneged on agreements with her former spouse dating back to November 2016 to have the boy immunized.
On October 4, she was sentenced for contempt of court after flouting a court order last week to have her son vaccinated.

Rebecca Bredow and her ex-husband decided at the time of their child's birth that they would space out and delay jabs for their son.
The couple separated in 2008, according to ABC News, but they shared parental custody and the father still wanted the boy vaccinated.
Oakland County Court Judge Karen McDonald said that even though Rebecca Bredow was the child's primary caregiver: "Dad gets a say."
Rebecca Bredow, from the Detroit suburb of Ferndale, said in court on October 4: "I am an educated vaccine-choice mother."
She argued that to immunize her son "goes against my beliefs".
"I would rather sit behind bars standing up for what I believe in, than giving in to something I strongly don't believe in," she added.
Anti-vaccination advocates – whose claims have been widely debunked by the medical community – fear the procedure exposes children to harm, and could be the cause of autism.
According to Mlive, child immunization rates in Michigan are among the worst in the nation, ranking 43rd among the 50 US states.
The federal government does not legislate child immunization, only issuing recommendations while leaving requirements to states or local school districts.
If a parent does not comply with a school's vaccination guidelines, the child is not permitted to attend school and the parent can be jailed for the pupil's truancy.

It has been more than 2 1/2 years since the Google Wallet launched, and it is floundering. And no wonder; Google Wallet can function properly on a maximum of about 7% of the smartphones in the United States.
Why is their addressable market only 7%? Google Wallet relies on a security technology that is owned by the mobile network operators, and only one of these operators (Sprint) has agreed to work with Google Wallet. Verizon, AT&T have simply blocked Google Wallet from their networks. To make matters worse, the communication technology that is also relied on by Google Wallet is being blocked by Apple on all iPhones. With enemies like Verizon, AT&T, and Apple, how can Google Wallet possibly succeed?
The answer lies in a recently coroneted technology that was created only three years ago in Austin, Texas.

Proper Creek Boating technique can make the difference between flopping down the river and styling your lines. In these two day clinics we'll begin with detailed instruction on proper line selection and visualization. We'll then go over the stroke placement, upper body positioning, torso rotation, and hip action that will make your chosen line a reality. Finally, we'll cover the learning techniques for quickest assimilation of all of these skills into your creek boating arsenal.
Whatever your skill level, we've got you covered!
Whether you are a beginning creeker or regularly running class V, we can help you refine your technique and skills to steepen your learning curve and keep you progressing.
Courses include instruction only, so you will be responsible for your own equipment, lodging, and food.
We will be offering clinics in the Southeast on any days of March and April of 2013. If you would like to check availability or reserve dates for your group, please contact us.
Our trips begin with a morning class session where we go over our proven list of three fives: Five things to scout for, five decisions to make before you get in your boat, and five components of proper technique to help you hit that line. After class, we take to the water where we work on a progression of skills, providing you with constant feedback on which of the skills you're mastering, and which are the next that you need to work on in your progression. We maintain a ratio of no more than 4 students per instructor so that we can make sure you get the feedback you need to improve your boating. If you opt for a two day clinic, the second day is another river day where we will coach you on the refinement and advancement of the skills from the previous day. You'll be amazed how much the new techniques will come together after sleeping on them for a night! We highly recommend that you take the 2 day clinic.
Clinics usually start at 9:30-10:00 AM on the first day, and we try to wrap it up by 3:30-4:00 on the second day.
Southeast (SE) clinics will be located within 3 hours of Asheville, depending on water conditions. If there is no water in appropriate free flowing rivers, intermediate clinics can be held on the Ocoee for a $25/person/day surcharge. We are happy to reserve dates for you based on a specific river that you would like to learn on, and you will only be charged if that river is running on your chosen dates.

I published this in AGBU News magazine back in April 1999 but I haven't looked at it for ages. I came across it earlier this year and decided to post it on my blog for April 24.
Even though I was born in Aleppo, I really grew up in Toronto, which was a vastly less coherent Armenian community than the one my parents grew up in. Toronto during that period was a largely immigrant city. Everywhere, particularly in neighborhoods where my family lived, there were refugees and families making new lives for themselves and everyone had a story to tell-Macedonians complaining about Greek oppression, Lebanese fleeing an escalating civil war, Jews one generation away from the Holocaust and refugees from various Eastern Bloc nations. Not growing up in an Armenian community, the Armenian Genocide seemed rather fictional for me. No one, with the exception of my family, knew what that meant. Never mind not knowing what a "genocide" was, no one knew what being Armenian meant.
Because of this lack of awareness, I think my identity and any awareness of the Genocide took a back seat to the trials and tribulations of youth–being named Hrag in an Italian-Irish-Caribbean-South Asian neighborhood in Toronto seemed more traumatic than the events of the Genocide.
Occasionally, my mother would attempt to explain what genocide meant-but in reality their explanations sounded the same as the stereotyped explanations offered to me at Armenian Saturday school (which I attended for years). Why were Armenians killed? Why did no one in my life and outside the Armenian community seem to know much about it? I didn't know and no one gave me a convincing answer.
Only in grade seven did I begin to understand the full grasp of the Armenian Genocide. I was 12 and our teacher decided to teach a unit on genocide. In retrospect, it was rather amazing that we were going to learn at such a young age about the historical genocides of the Beothuk (in the colony of Newfoundland), the Cambodians and more importantly for me, Armenians. My teacher was convinced that the best way to teach the unit was through class presentations and she insisted that I cover the Armenian Genocide–I agreed.
I don't think I realized at the beginning how crucial that project was going to be to my life. I never knew my paternal grandparents, they lived overseas or had died before I was born. I interviewed my parents and asked them about my grandparents' genocide stories–my research was different from the research the other students were doing.
My maternal grandparents, both of whom I knew while they were still alive, witnessed fighting and had their stories of escaping from Marash and Aintab to Aleppo with only some of their belongings. I even remember that my grandfather would point out a bullet hole in his arm from a stray shot during that period-though I don't quite remember how. My grandfather kept the deed to his family home until his death, a house that his father built with his own hands. But their trauma seemed pale in comparison to what I learned about my father's parents.
It was my paternal grandparents which posed a greater enigma. Strangely, my father didn't know his parents' stories very well. The information he could offer me was sketchy at best and seemed to be seeded in a great deal of pain and discomfort-both for my grandparents and their children. He mentioned that it wasn't something they talked about and everything he knew he had heard through other siblings (he is the youngest of four). He knew that his parents both lost their first families, they met after the Genocide, and my grandmother had tried to kill herself. My father's family was from the village of Zeitoun, a village that served as a stronghold of Armenian identity for centuries. Their stories remained incomplete to me for years.
When I gave my presentation I cried a little in front of the class, not much but enough that everyone noticed and tried to comfort me. During the act of verbally presenting I realized how these horrible things, which I thought only happened in films, occurred to my family and somehow I felt the wounds during my class presentation.
Years after, I occasionally wrestled with my father's memory and insisted that he ask all my uncles and aunts so that I would could learn the whole story. After years of sewing together tidbits of information from different sources I have probably acquired the most complete picture of anyone in my family.
My paternal grandmother was born in Marash and was betrothed to a man from Zeitoun where they moved after their marriage. They had a home and children in Zeitoun but then soon the massacres and deportations began. Forced to leave their village, her husband and children were butchered, no one seems to remember the details and perhaps she never told anyone the truth. My grandmother did remember running through the village with an in-law. As they ran hand in hand to escape the terror of soldiers she felt something heavy pulling down her hand and it had been the arm of her relative which had been hacked off by a soldier's blade. She escaped to the mountains and was discovered by some Muslims who forced her into their home as a servant. For months she was forced to serve her captor family. The only other Armenians she would see were at the local spring where she would come across other enslaved Armenian girls fetching water for their Muslim masters. One day, they made a plan to escape. That evening they would meet by the spring and flee together into the mountains. My grandmother escaped that evening and waited at the spring, no one else came-only one other Armenian girl arrived to tell her that she would not join her. Alone, my grandmother fled into the mountains where for months she lived on her own and was forced to eat grass to survive.
During her months alone she came across a group of Armenian refugees from her town. She joined the group and they traveled together until Mosul in present-day Iraq. Many members of the group had died but the others arrived on the outskirts of the city naked and destitute. On seeing the group, the city's government officials could not believe that they were human, months of wandering had taken its toll. Each member of the group, which now was a fraction of their original number, was given a potato sack to wear and the women were employed to work at sewing clothes. My aunt recounted that at the factory my grandmother would collect small remnants of fabric which were left over from the cutting of patterns and sewed herself a skirt with the delicate pieces. When the other women saw my grandmother's new skirt rumors spread that she had stolen material for her new garment. When the foreman approached her with accusations of theft my grandmother turned over the skirt and demonstrated that it was constructed of otherwise useless textile pieces. The foreman was amazed and said, "You Armenians will never die." This story was recounted to me by my father's sister as a very empowering moment in an otherwise sad story.
During that period, it appears that my grandmother attempted suicide twice by throwing herself off a bridge and into a river, both times she was saved by complete strangers-even death disappointed her. Months later she went to Aleppo where other Zeitountsis had gathered. An Armenian Orthodox priest decided that the men and women should not be single and gathered up a group of Zeitountsi refugees and arbitrarily paired them off and married them. He had homes for them dug out of the stone in a district later referred to as Zeitoun Khan (in Aleppo's New Town district). There my grandparents were married, having never known each other before and left to fend for themselves. Last year, I traveled to Aleppo and wandered with some relatives looking for the cave homes of Zeitoun Khan. We came across an Armenian man who was married to a Kurdish girl and he told us that they had been built over only a few years before. The present day Zeitoun Khan was still a slum but now inhabited mostly by Kurdish villagers, the dirt streets were stone or concrete now but little seems to have changed from that time period.
My grandfather's story has never been told. No one seems to know his narrative and he died before I was born. We all know that he lost his first wife and children to the Genocide but little else. My grandfather was a quiet man who spent most of the last years of his life crippled from a truck accident laying in his bed scribbling in a small notebook. My father remembers that his father always wanted the children to read his notebook when he died, but at their father's funeral my grandmother placed the notebook in his coffin and as a result, his children never learned his story.
Throughout high school, I grew more aware of my Armenian identity and insisted that every April 24 I would be able to have a commemorative prayer on my school's PA system. There were bulkhead events during those years which shocked most of the Armenian community of Canada out of complacency and into discussions regarding the relevance of the Genocide to today's Armenian community. The most drastic was the terrorist attack in the mid-1980s by Armenians on the Turkish Embassy in Ottawa. The event cost the life of one Canadian guard and ignited cross-country indignation. When the terrorists were captured, a suspicious threat, which the Canadian media assumed was issued by other members of the terrorist organization, was issued to blow up the Toronto subway system. I remember hotly debating the issue with friends and teachers, people who all of a sudden seemed to be aware of Armenian issues.
Years later, I helped the Armenian Student's Association of the University of Toronto stage a small exhibit on Armenians in the main university library. While I worked on the cultural aspects of the display some of the other students worked on displays about the Genocide and "The Armenian Question." The exhibit was limited but something our small student group could be proud of, until one day we noticed that the Turkish Student Union had put up another display at the entrance of the library supposedly telling the "truth" about "The Armenian Question." We were all confused, their exhibit purposely refuted our exhibit point for point and wanted to unveil the lies of Armenian propaganda. In the politically correct environment of a Canadian university there seemed to be two sides to the Genocide-we were all shocked.
Unlike many of the other Armenian kids I had known throughout my childhood, my head wasn't filled with rantings of hate and disgust. My mother in particular, always tried to make me feel the humanity of the genocide. It wasn't us against them, but an evil which as a people Armenians have faced–whether we've ever overcome it is still questionable.
How does someone understand something which escapes any logic of understanding? How can something which you cannot fully understand impact your life? It manifests itself differently for everyone. For years I always found it strange that when my mother and I would go shopping together she would dislike telling other people that she was Armenian. Though proudly Armenian, "It's none of their business," she would insist. She felt secretive, people don't need to know. Knowing a person's ethnicity was not supposed to be a public declaration, one pretended to be like others in public and your family life was no one's concern.
Thanks, Hraj. This was a moving story. I'm not Armenian by birth, but certainly by human connection.
Thank you Hraj for the story I truly enjoyed reading how you found out about our history & struggle. Only when you know where you've been can you then figure out where you will go. People so often say, why do you care? why do you still talk about it? Why do you try to tell non-Armenians about the Genocide? For the lack of giving them a 5 hour explanation I say WHY NOT? Knowledge is Power! I love being an Armenian and I will never stop demanding Turkey to formally recognizing the Armenian Genocide. I am 25 years old and if I don't get to see that happen I will make sure that my future children continue to fight for it the way I have. WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
That was a very touching story. Your grandmother wanted to protect someone–you, your grandfather, herself, someone else–from something, but then your grandfather clearly wanted you all to know what he was writing in his notebook.
That was moving and enlightening. I'm so glad I just found out about this blog.
Hraj I cried also for everything your family suffered through and I believe that your choice to share your story both in your school AND with us here via your blog will move the world one more step further up the ladder towards peace, love, repsect and understanding of one another.
I came here via libhomo's blog, and I am so happy that I did.
Take care of yourself and the best to you and your loved ones.
I'm sure every Armenian can relate to this blog & have family that escaped the genocide with their stories untold… right now im 15 and I know alot more about our history than some other people. Usually having a family member involved in something makes you want to learn about it even more. My grandfather also escaped from Spitak when he was 5, though the rest of the family was killed. Obviously he died long before I was born, but his story won't be forgotten and I want to make sure it doesn't.
I really enjoyed that story. Does your parents know any thing about an orphanage in Marash, by any chance?
Posting this again was a good idea. I first learned of the genocide when reading about Arshile Gorky. Very good piece.
There are so many orphanages in Marash. But your best bet is to ask an Armenian archive like the AGBU Nubarian Library in Paris or the Zohrab Center in New York.
can you let me an email in order to contact you directly ?

Broke Baby Collection
ENTER ''OGFIGURES'' AT THE CHECKOUT FOR FREE UK DELIVERY
1FIGURES, EAST LONDON, FASHION, HACKNEY - January 02, 2019
CM Inspires – 1Figures
23-year-old Christopher Kutoya from Hackney, East London is the founder and creative director of the 1Figures clothing line. The recent Criminology and Youth Studies graduate has managed to successfully combine his studies with running a profitable business – no easy feat. We sat down with him after the conclusion of their 3rd Annual pop up sale, which launched their new AW18 collection
Tell us the history of 1F? – What made you start the brand, what does it mean? Where does it originate from?
Making clothes and fashion has been something I've been extremely passionate about, my earliest experiences stemmed from when I used to design tops school and sell them amongst my peers. As I got older, I took a short break to focus on my other projects that I had going on, but returned back to clothing in 2014. 1Figures was born, from my nickname Figures, given to me by my older cousin.
The meaning behind the brand has changed several times over the years. Originally it meant that no matter how big or small you're or social position or money you may have, everyone has a starting point of 1.
1Figures originates from Hackney and mixes innovative design and grows with its audience accordingly, with a long-term vision of high-end street wear.
Congratulations on your third annual pop up – how has the brand evolved since inception and what do you think makes people buy into your brand?
Thank you so much! Yes our third pop up we thank God first and foremost, it's been such a challenge maintaining the high standards I have set for the brand since inception. I feel like the third pop up store has cemented 1Figures into Hackney history as every year, I have attempted to improve the consumer experience, whether that is via the actual shopping experience or the visual make up of the pop up.
People buy into 1Figures because it's a genuine brand, which consumers can see further potential in and are willingly supportive of us. In this day and age it's very hard to sell anything, because people are selling everything. What differentiates 1Figures from other brands is the unique ways of marketing and promotion and our heavy ties with influential figures in both sports and music, creating further interest and appealing to a wider audience.
What does the future hold for you and the brand?
With regards to expansion, 1Figures will definitely be taking it one step at a time, building solid foundations that can last for generations to come. There's no rush on development as we are currently on a very steep learning curve but what is evident is that with a steady plan and structure you can reach the top, whatever you may define that to be. I do one day see 1Figures opening stores worldwide in major fashion cities.
Has starting a business influenced your views on savings and investment? If so how?
Saving is key. I can't stress it enough without savings there would be no 1Figures. I remember saving a lot of my student finance and working part time at Waitrose, understanding the importance of money management and how to make better use of your money. Learning to be financially intelligent was a huge turning point and I can't lie it's not for the feint hearted it takes huge sacrifice and determination but if you know your end goal it's all a part of the process.
If there were anything you could do differently / a piece of advice you could give to an 18 year old you, what would it be?
The one thing I would do differently if I could go back in time is that I'd not be the face of the brand or have any direct affiliation with it. It may sound strange but the reason why I say this is because sometimes people feel it's fine to discuss brand issues on a night out! Honestly I don't mind sometimes but I also value my social time a lot and sometimes I just want to dance to Wizkid in peace!
What was your first capital moment? (Could be anything from saving pocket money to buy a game to investing in stocks)
My first capital moment was saving my £10 a week on a Monday, playing money up with all the other kids on my estate. On the Thursday I'll have about £35-40 that I could then invest on making t-shirts that cost about £5 to make each. I would make about 7, keep £5 for a rainy day and sell the tops for £12 which left me with about £7 profit off each t-shirt. So if you ever saw me with nice pair of Levi jeans or Vans trainers back in the day it was definitely because of that!

Q: ExecuteNonQuery not updating output parameter I'm using ExecuteNonQuery to insert a record in a database and return the id for the new record. It inserts fine, but the output parameter does not get updated.
Tried executing the stored procedure in SSMS and it worked fine. Only has an issue when executing it with ExecuteNonQuery.
Included is all of the code that is used to attempt the insert.
        public int InsertPurchaseOrder(IPurchaseOrder po)
        {
            int returnId = 0;
            int returnCount = 0;

            List<IParam> parms = ParameterFactory.CreateListInstance();

            parms.Add(ParameterFactory.CreateParameter("@Timestamp", po.Timestamp, SqlDbType.Timestamp, ParameterDirection.Output));
            parms.Add(ParameterFactory.CreateParameter("@Status", po.Status, SqlDbType.Int, ParameterDirection.Input));
            parms.Add(ParameterFactory.CreateParameter("@Subtotal", po.Subtotal, SqlDbType.Money, ParameterDirection.Input));
            parms.Add(ParameterFactory.CreateParameter("@Taxes", po.Taxes, SqlDbType.Money, ParameterDirection.Input));
            parms.Add(ParameterFactory.CreateParameter("@Total", po.Total, SqlDbType.Money, ParameterDirection.Input));
            parms.Add(ParameterFactory.CreateParameter("@EmployeeId", po.EmployeeId, 8, SqlDbType.VarChar, ParameterDirection.Input));

            parms.Add(ParameterFactory.CreateParameter("@PONumOut", 12345, SqlDbType.Int, ParameterDirection.Output));

            try
            {
                returnCount = dataAccess.ExecuteNonQuery(SPROC_INSERT_PO, CommandType.StoredProcedure, parms);
                if (returnCount >= 0)
                {
                    po.Timestamp = (byte[])parms[0].Value;
                    returnId = Convert.ToInt32(parms[6].Value);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
            return returnId;
        }

 public static IParam CreateParameter(string name, object value, SqlDbType type, ParameterDirection direction)
        {
            return new Param(name, value, type, direction);
        }

        public Param(string name, object value, SqlDbType type, ParameterDirection direction)
        {
            Name = name;

        {
            SqlCommand cmd = CreateCommand(cmdText, cmdType, parms);

            using (cmd.Connection)

A: Solved the issue.
Needed to modify my ExecuteNonQuery() method to the following.
        public int ExecuteNonQuery(string cmdText, CommandType cmdType, List<IParam> parms)
        {
            SqlCommand cmd = CreateCommand(cmdText, cmdType, parms);

            using (cmd.Connection)
            {
                cmd.Connection.Open();
                int ret = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                UnloadParms(parms, cmd);
                return ret;
            }
        }

And add the following method.
private static void UnloadParms(List<IParam> parms, SqlCommand cmd)
        {
            if (parms != null)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i <= parms.Count - 1; i++)
                {
                    IParam p = parms[i];
                    p.Value = cmd.Parameters[i].Value;
                    parms[i] = p;
                }
            }
        }

A: Please used like this
`ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spInsertPO]
    @Timestamp timestamp OUTPUT,

Colombo Stock Exchange Chairman Ray Abeywardena confirmed that plans are underway to conduct two roadshows during the first half of this year, adding that the roadshows conducted in 2018 had positive outcomes.
"We are planning two roadshows in consultation with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC).
We are planning to focus on markets which we haven't targeted before. According to the plan we hope to have the first roadshow within the first quarter of this year and the other in the second or third quarter," he told the Daily FT.
The CSE together with the SEC conducted three roadshows last year in Singapore and London and Edinburgh.
"All three roadshows in 2018 were successful in terms of participation from frontier market focused institutional investors and received a lot of attention and interest. We had positive inflows to the market following these road shows. We also had an excellent and encouraging participation from listed companies and stock brokers," he added.


This 1983 BMW R100 was imported new to England, and though registered shortly thereafter, remained in its original delivery crate until 1996. At that time it was fitted with new tires in prep for road use, but circumstances mean this never happened, and now 34 years since it was first built, the bike remains un-ridden–the seller reports it's never even been started. Condition is as-delivered, with one mile showing on the odometer, and sale includes extensive documentation as well. Find it here on eBay in Sunderland, England for 10k GBP (~$12,300 USD today).
Photos don't do the bike justice, but everything including painted, plated or bare metal as well as plastics and rubber all show essentially as-new. The same goes for decals and badging, two nice examples of which are on display in the photo below. Gauges are crystal clear, and the odometer shows one mile traveled–this suggests that the bike has been started and ridden, if only once or twice at the factory more than three decades ago.
Underneath the saddle is an unopened tool roll, tire pump, and first aid kit, and the seller also notes still-boxed spark plugs,unopened, factory supplied oil bottles, and even the original battery. Factory break-in oil remains in the engine and gearbox.
This odd steam-powered three-wheeler was successfully titled as a motorcycle upon completion by its builder, Huntington Beach, California-based aviation mechanic Fred Hensel. The seller believes it was built in the late 40's or early 50's, and included expired California registration documents date from as late as 1966. Bodied from riveted aluminum in aircraft style, the seller says that the level of craftsmanship and engineering quality on display is very impressive, and though it's been driven around on compressed air, the ad includes a disclaimer that no one should attempt to build pressure in the system as it exists–fair enough considering no one seems to know when it last ran under its own steam. Find it here on eBay in Rockaway Park, New York with reserve not met.
Here's a look at the rear, which appears to incorporate a second, similarly narrow rectangular door as the front left corner. Reportedly there's a sunroof as well.
The inside is a mess of levers, pedals (four of them!), petcocks, taps, dials, hoses, and other improvised fittings. We're not sure how it'd be driven, but engineering and construction were undoubtedly a labor of love for Mr. Hensel, and it's simply cool to see that his contraption has survived.
This 1983 Honda Trail 110 has 373 documented miles and is powered by a 105cc 4-stroke air-cooled single cylinder engine. The 4-speed manual transmission features a dual range sub-transmission for uphill climbing and has an automatic clutch. This example was acquired by the seller at an estate sale and was reportedly sold new in Seattle. The second owner purchased it in 1990 and kept it garage stored. The bike has a new air filter, battery, and spark plug, and an owner's manual documents mileage over the years. The bike is being sold with the factory tool kit, original paperwork, an extra key, and a clean Washington title.
The red paint shows a deep luster and the body maintains its original paper stickers on the frame and engine. A small crack on the left side cover from an overtightened screw is noted and there are a few small wear marks in the red plastic, but no other damage is readily apparent. The seller elected not to touch up the paint and to leave everything in the original state as purchased from the previous owner's estate.
Chrome and brightwork shine well with no pitting or chipping evident on the trim, skid plate, or exhaust pipe shield. The rear luggage rack appears equally nice in supplied pictures. The Trail 110 is equipped with a spare gas tank and helmet-holder just below the rack.
Rubber is said to remain soft, while shocks and springs are reported to be in good condition. Lenses are uncracked and clear while all electrics work properly as detailed in the provided video below.
A walkaround video is shown above. The 105cc 4-stroke air-cooled single cylinder engine made 7.6hp @ 7500 rpm when new and fuel economy was listed at 140mpg. Honda Trail 110's were sold new in the U.S. up until 1986.
A 2:1 ratio gear reduction box allowed for 4 "low" gears which aided in uphill climbs. The running gear utilizes an automatic centrifugal clutch and with dual range the bike effectively has eight gears.
Over 80 additional good photos are viewable in the gallery below.
This bike combines a 1967 Triumph TR6R parallel twin and '63 Norton Atlas Featherbed frame. Started in 2007 but just recently finished, these so-called Triton builds were once popular in the late 60's and early 70's British cafe scene, and this one is off to a great start with lots of excellent period-style components as well as a rebuilt engine and gearbox. A nice alloy tank with Triton decals is available for an extra $800 if the fiberglass item isn't your thing–either way we think it's a nice looking machine. Find it here on eBay in Laredo, Texas with an $8.750 BIN. Special thanks to BaT reader Frank for this submission.
The twin has been treated to all new gaskets, seals, bearings, bushings, valves and guides, as well as .020 oversize pistons, new rings and more. The primary chain and clutch are fresh as well, and the 4-speed gearbox has new seals, bearings, and bushings–shafts, gears, and forks are said to remain in excellent shape. Carbs are new Mikuni VM slide throttles with pancake K&N filters, and exhaust dumps through standard Triumph headers into the seller's choice of new round mufflers (seen here) or used megaphones.
Clip-ons are new Thomaselli items, while the rearsets come from Tarozzi. Period Domi Racer gauges are a nice match for each other and the bike, but the speedo may need ratio work to read accurately.
The Featherbed frame is fitted with made-for-purpose aftermarket billet aluminum engine adapter plates, and the swingarm runs a 3/" high-grade steel spindle upgrade kit with sintered bronze bushings. Norton Roadholder forks have been overhauled with new bushings and seals, but still need gaiters fitted to protect against water entry. Triple clamps are billet, and rear shocks are new Girling lookalikes. The front brake is a Norton twin leading-shoe item, and the rear is a single leading shoe drum, also Norton.
Akront alloy rims have been professionally re-laced, and tires are Pirellis. Though "new," they were first purchased in 2008 and might be a good idea to replace prior to riding much.
This 1980 Yamaha TZ125G is described as an NOS bike that's never been raced or even run. These small displacement two-stroke GP bikes weigh next to nothing, which in combo with lots of revs, narrow but explosive powerbands, and good aero made for surprisingly fast and exciting racing. New Old Stock claims don't seem totally off-base–the bike is remarkably fresh looking, even with a handful of small flaws. Find it here on eBay in Zionsville, Indiana with a $10,500 BIN. Special thanks to BaT reader Robert S. for this submission.
A walkaround video on YouTube shows off the bike to good effect. In it, the seller provides a lot of good closeups, and accurately describes engine and gearbox casings as looking very fresh. All safety wires remain in place as well, and bodywork looks very good overall despite an unfortunate tank dent and a scratch on the rear fairing.
Here's a look at the included spares package, all NOS and in a cool Yamaha factory crate. Contents include 15 cylinder gaskets, 15 piston rings, 10 side case gaskets, two unspecified manifolds, 14 main jets of varying sizes, 105 "various O-rings, seals and gaskets," 10 clutch plates, three countershaft sprockets, 25 circlips, six rear sprockets (presumably of different sizes), an extra crankshaft assembly, two cylinders, an extra head, five pistons, and miscellaneous pieces like brake pads, a throttle cable, and unspecified bearings.
A spare seat cushion and unmounted fairings go with the bike as well. This thing would be seriously cool even as an expensive office or rec room decoration, but ideally someone will sort it out and finally get it out on track where it truly belongs.
This 1974 BMW R90S looks great in Daytona Orange with R100RS fairings, and condition too appears to be quite good. The seller doesn't provide a lot of detail, but appearances suggest that running condition should probably be just as good. Hard BMW OEM panniers and a high windshield should make this one a fine long-distance cruiser, too. Find it here on mobile.de in Etten-Leur, Netherlands for 7k Euros (-$7,450 USD today).
Daytona Orange is a striking, very period-style color, and along with RS fairings, windscreen, covered headlight, and ducktail seat, it makes for quite an interesting profile. Paint finish looks good all around, and trim and lenses show just as well. A tool roll resides under the seat along with extra room for accessories, and dual hard panniers up the storage capacity even more. These bikes came equipped with wire spoke wheels, but we dig the period snowflakes fitted here.
The cockpit is very clean, with good-looking plastics, grips, hardware, and instrument faces. The windscreen is also clear, as are mirrors. The knob mounted to the fork crown adjusts the hydraulic steering damper.
The photo below highlights the aero fairings, and shows them to be in good condition. Glossy paint is found everywhere, with no hints of cracking, rock chips, or other damage. Note the twin-disc front wheel that featured drilled rotors on the later models.
The air-cooled boxer displaces 898cc and was good for 67 HP off the factory floor. Backed by a 5-speed transmission, it routes twist through a shaft drive in traditional Beemer style. The odometer on this example reads 97k and change kilometers. Another improvement for these Series II bikes was the addition of a strengthened crankshaft and redesigned main bearing, which contributed to greater reliability.
We're fans of sport tourers from the 70's and 80's, and this model is one of the most interesting examples we've seen recently. Provided it's as sorted as appearances hint at, a machine like this could easily serve as a daily commuter, then load up for a quick weekend getaway when needed.

How to Raise the Garage Floor to House Level for Additional Living Space
By Larry Simmons
Adding living space to an existing house can be an expensive project, often requiring on a smaller scale the same construction techniques as those used within the house itself. A less expensive alternative is to convert an attached garage instead. Unfortunately, your garage floor may not be level with the floor of your household, creating a possible tripping hazard. You can correct this issue by raising the garage floor to meet your house. By using a permanent concrete overlay consisting of self-leveling compound, you can create a solid concrete surface that's inches above the original garage floor, ready for covering however you wish.
Clear the garage floor of everything and then clean the floor thoroughly. Clean out any cracks with a wire brush and remove loose concrete chips by chipping away the loose concrete with a cold chisel and hammer. Sweep the floor using a stiff-bristled broom to remove all loose dirt and debris. Use a concrete degreaser to remove any oil spills. Wash the floor with a pH-neutral cleaner and then rinse the surface with clean water. Wait for the concrete to dry before continuing.
Repair the garage floor using joint repair compound and mortar. Fill any cracks in the floor with joint repair compound. Press the compound firmly into the cracks with a putty knife and then scrape the surface of the patch with the knife edge to level the surface of the crack. Fill dips or spalled concrete areas -- where chunks of concrete separate from the surface -- with mortar. Brush the sides and base of the damaged area with epoxy adhesive. Use a trowel to apply the mortar to the damaged area, making sure to level the patch with the surrounding concrete. Allow the patches to dry overnight to begin setting.
Remove all baseboards or trim surrounding the garage floor. Pry the boards away from the walls using a prybar and then place the boards aside for reuse after adjusting the floor level.
Open the garage door and attach a board at the edge of the floor where the door usually rests. Secure the board in place by nailing it to the garage walls. Use a board that's as high as the newly intended floor level. Place a bead of silicone caulk at the base of the board in the garage interior to prevent the self-leveler from seeping beneath the board.
Cover the garage floor with a thin layer of epoxy adhesive. Brush the adhesive over the floor to act as a bonding agent for the new floor material and the existing garage floor. Allow the adhesive to dry until it loses the wet look while remaining sticky to the touch.
Mix a batch of self-leveling compound in a large bucket using an electric drill with paddle bit. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when mixing the leveler material, but use cold water to slow down the curing process slightly to extend the time you have to work the material.
Pour the compound over garage floor, using a squeegee to spread the material. Spread a layer that's up to two inches thick, and then wait four hours for the compound to set. It will level itself as it settles, creating an even finish.
Continue to pour the compound in 2-inch layers until you reach the level of the house floor. Allow the same four-hour setting time between each 2-inch level, but allow 48 hours setting time after spreading the final layer for complete curing of the leveling compound. Most compounds can support up to three 2-inch layers as long as they have aggregate included, while others are limited only by the support of your subfloor. Check with the manufacturer on the thickness achievable by the specific material in use.
Remove the board blocking the garage entrance and lower the garage door. Replace the baseboards if desired by nailing them back into place.

Living in an area where the most heady crime is toilet paper strewn through trees and cacti, this is always a bit disturbing. I'm left to wonder what delinquent youth has it out for my holiday gourds. Perhaps they didn't like our Halloween candy?
This year, not only did they take it out on the pumpkin, but the careless ones also backed up into my herb garden which really kicks into beautiful growth this time of year.
Sneaky as they are, I was prepared for the vandals this year. With an out of sight camera tied to a motion detector we waited patiently for the unruly clan to make their raid. And don't worry, I wasn't going to turn them in – the plan was simply to invite them back for clean up the next morning – really early.
So when I woke to find pumpkin seeds strewn across the porch, I grabbed the camera to unveil the culprits.
A pack of wild javalina!
Here they are! Not at all what I was expecting and despite the damage, I'm a bit tickled. This is a pack of wild pigs called Javalina that live in the desert. We rarely see them but clearly they know when it's pumpkin time. Javalina are also referred to Peccaries or skunk pigs – the latter nickname for their pungent odor. They travel in bands of 15 or so and warn away predators by gnashing their teeth.
Mystery solved. Lesson learned. Keep an open mind. Enjoy the tune.
Do you have them where you live Charlie?
Wow! Javalinas! Maybe that was our pumpkin thief the whole time!?
I would bet on it. It clearly has been my thief the whole time.
I didn't expect it either and it really is a good lesson in challenging our own assumptions Debbie.
Nice job catching a photo of them! It makes sense though that they would do that!
I really had no idea that they'd eat pumpkins.
Now you know what happens to those pumpkins.
And Tammy, OH MY GOD! Wild Pigs in your garden? I want to tell you its exotic, but im more tempted to tell you, don't ever think of having an early morning walk.
Yes, I'm a bit afraid of them – especially if there were 15!
Great story! Love the Smashing Pumpkins, it's been ages since I've heard one of their songs.
Oh, my . . . don't let the dogs out. Don't. Don't.
Pumpkins! Who knew? Definitely not me.
Clever, Tammy. A few weeks back, we had a rescue dog come over for a one day visit. I left the house for 30 minutes and came back to find the place in disarray. I knew he had gone on a tornado style rampage but had no proof. I laughed about it later with our vet, and she said she wished we'd had a camera set up, in particular to find out how a dog with 6-inch legs could have leapt onto the kitchen counter to steal butter from a butter dish.
Wouldn't you just love to see it? Oh and butter! You can bet whoever was around that dog later paid dearly for that. I once turned my back on a brick of cream cheese only to find it had gone missing and I remember the outcomes well.
That's funny Tammy. And I'll bet you were even giving some neighborhood juvie suspect the stink-eye, lol.
I grow pumpkins to feed my pigs & cows… the pigs in particular love them.
Just had no idea about that!
I was suspecting an animal, as the white-tail deer will occasionally break a gourd to get at the contents and even small rodents will gnaw at them. I never suspected wild pigs! That is humorous, but also a little frightening! Great story, thank you!
I haven't heard of a person being hurt by these but they would startle me if I ran into them.
great detective work! little javalinas, who knew? a good lesson in assumptions, and the unexpected!
Let me know how it goes. Where in Northern AZ? There are critters everywhere.
Fascinating, I've never heard of or seen them before !
It surprised me that's for certain.
Awesome! Like the raccoons in my hood. So destructive. Who would have thought? I was getting upset until I saw the picture. Frame it. It is worthy!
I didn't know they would eat pumpkin.
Oops…I would have blamed the Trick or Treaters too. That is one unexpected culprit. How you discovered them is just amazing. Advance Happy Thanksgiving.
So nice to know that the trick or treaters were not to blame.
Ha ha, they are lucky not to have been turned into supper!
I wonder if they are edible Tandy. Off to do some research.
Great suspense and detective work! And come to think of it, while we don't have any big pumpkin eating wildlife, many years I have had small critters gnaw through the shell to get the seeds (though then the culprit is more obvious).
Guess, I'll learn not to leave them out. By the way, I've purchased several small ones ready to be stuffed.
We don not have wild hogs here, but I know how destructive they and can be!! And mean………….
I loved that band! I saw them 2 at a Summer's popfestival in Belgium! I love that song too! Waw! You have wild pigs roaming your garden's & streets !! Thta's awful! You must caught them & roast them! It is game season anyway!
I don't know if these pigs would be good to eat but the band is great. Good to know you like them too.
Ya, I loved smashing pumpkins the band, when I was younger. This story is amazing, tho, too.
You're a great detective. I would have suspected teen-aged vandals myself. We did have some human pumpkin vandals in our quiet neighborhood. We discovered that our mailbox had been smashed in with a pumpkin, as were two other mailboxes in the neighborhood. We found the smashed pumpkins in the driveway. I'm guessing that the culprits drove by very quickly and lobbed the pumpkins at the mailboxes from the open window. They had very good aim, I'll give them that.
I once grew cantaloupe in a garden at another house, but I never got any. Some creature opened them and cleaned them out completely, leaving only the rind.
I'm actually happy to know that it isn't teenage vandals although we did have a mailbox issue like you were discussing once. What do you think ate the canteloupe?
I'm guessing that a raccoon or two ate the cantaloupe.

The Sexual Revolution
January 8, 2017 John 1 Comment
… for want of a better word. I am a child of the sixties which is when it is supposed to have begun, i.e. the sexual revolution. According to Wikipedia: "The Sexual Revolution … was a social movement that challenged traditional codes of behavior related to sexuality and interpersonal relationships throughout the Western world from the 1960s to the 1980s". Whether for better or for worse – my liberal leaning friends would say for the better (at least overall); my fundamentalist leaning ones would say for worse.
One of my favourite songs (it is one of my 8 choices if ever asked to appear on "Desert Island Discs"), is "Times they are a Changing". The wisdom of the words "Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly aging Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand Cause the times they are a-changing" seems so much clearer now than when I came across the song in the late Sixties.
Whether or not the changes Bob Dylan was alluding to was for the better or not is a moot point, particularly those relating to sexual ethics and societal attitudes to all sorts of matters relating to sex. But those changes have been monumental and cannot be ignored. We do well (in my view) to understand something of what those changes are, why they happened and to formulate a response. While not a major theme of my blogging career to date, a number of my past blog postings have been related to this topic.
Attitudes when I was born Attitudes 65 years on (now)
Men were in charge and women were expected to fit in. Men worked and were the money makers and women stayed home and were home makers (sometimes taking part time or lower status jobs). When it came to doing the same job, men earned more than women. Few women "vicars" were around and women made the tea. The Birth Control Pill was not around. Abortion was illegal. Men and women have (in theory) the same chances as each other to do the same job and there is no restriction on jobs available. Men are expected to play a full part in the home and share responsibilities. When it comes to remuneration the equal pay for equal work maxim applies. Many women "vicars" are around; we all help make the tea. Use of the Pill and having abortions is widespread.
Most couples were married; at least when sexual relations were involved; "living in sin" was widely frowned upon; couples were straight. Divorce was exceptional and frowned on. Couples were expected to stay together and maintain fidelity. It should be noted that while pornography was around, it was usually "soft" and hard to come by. Child protection was not seen as an issue. Many couples are not married; sex outside marriage is widely accepted. Single parent families and where partners remarry is common. Same sex marriage is legal; those who oppose it are accused of homophobia. Divorce is common and widely accepted. Pornography is easy to come by, especially because of Internet availability, including by minors and some of it is "hard", Child protection is now a big issue.
Homosexuality was illegal and same sex relations were frowned on, and only entered into behind closed doors. Gay people were vilified and persecuted and afraid to admit they were gay. Gay was considered to be NOT ok; but it was ok to be anti-gay. Homosexuality is legal and same sex relations are accepted, common and seen as equal to mixed sex ones, including marriage. Those who condemn gay people are scorned and attacked. Gay is now deemed to be ok; but anti-gay isn't.
Boys will be boys and girls will be girls (sugar and spice, blue for boys, pink for girls etc.). There was a clear distinction between the sexes and peoples' expectations were gender based. Re. transgender / transsexual – this was almost unknown. Boys and girls are meant to be treated the same and the same opportunities afforded. Anything boys can be and do, so can girls. Increasingly dealings are gender neutral. Transgender / transsexual is more common and widely accepted.
As I reflect on these changes, it seems to me the big spur from changing from a column 1 paradigm to a column 2 one was during the "Swinging Sixties" period, which had a marked influence on people from my generation. It was a time divorce became easier, equal pay for women, abortion and homosexuality were legalized and the permissive society became normalized. While there is a marked difference between general attitudes now and attitudes 65 years ago, already back then there were the seeds for change, and now while there is general acceptance there is still significant dissent as to the rightness of the changes. Of the issues mentioned, the breakdown of marriage, general permissiveness and gender equality were the first to happen, followed by the increasing acceptance of same sex relationships. Now it is the fight of people who wish to be identified with the sex opposite to the one they were born with and yet be seen as normal and gender neutrality being practiced in public places. While it has taken 65 years to get this far, one might expect that in a lot less time for that change to be completed.
In this post, I have refrained from giving my own opinions on issues raised, although I have addressed many of these in other places. It may be possible to ignore what has been happening but as a Christian minister that would be a cop out. It is true my own conservative leaning theology might make me closer to the attitudes laid out in column 1, while my liberal leaning friends are more likely to be closer to adopting column 2 attitudes, but my experience it is often far from clear cut and society has never had it entirely right. But we do have a duty to speak truth on these matters and a pastoral one to deal with divorcees, the promiscuous, gays, transgender etc. in a loving way. I really cannot (and must not) simply remain in my conservative bubble and I must participate in the real world and go "outside the camp". While the temptation is to bend to the culture, obeying God has to be my priority. I hope I can deal with those (likely all of us) who have been affected by the "sexual revolution" in the same way as Jesus, who was full of grace and truth.

One thought on "The Sexual Revolution"
markflewitt says:
Some LGBT folk would feel militant at your thoughts. I am, however of a softer persuasion, that if I am legally allowed to be what I am, I will function better and like you with compassion to others and their issues.
It is as simple but perhaps as complicated as that.


River Restoration Northwest offers limited Professional Stipends to help defray symposium costs.
RRNW is no longer accepting applications for these items.
The RRNW Professional Stipend (formerly the PK Scholarship) is intended to financially support attendance at the RRNW annual restoration symposium by stream restoration practitioners who work for a qualified organization.
3 night's lodging at Skamania Lodge (Lodging Option).
Awardees selecting the registration option will receive a registration code that activates their stipend for online Symposium registration.
Awardees selecting the lodging option are responsible for any charges beyond the basic room charge and taxes for three nights.
The applicant shall be currently involved in stream restoration work.
The applicant shall be an employee of or volunteer for a qualified organization as identified (see "Qualified Organization").
Employment may be full- or part-time.
The applicant's employer shall have the purpose of ecological enhancements for stream, riparian, and watershed systems.
The applicant may be either "experienced" or a "novice" regarding stream restoration activities.
The applicant should be currently involved in stream restoration work.
Note: Students are not eligible unless they meet the eligibility criteria (e.g. working as paid or volunteer staff of a qualified organization).
Expanded continental breakfasts Tuesday through Thursday before sessions start.
Group lunches Tuesday through Thursday as part of the program.
Group dinners Tuesday and Wednesday as part of the program.
The lodging option covers the basic room fee and taxes. Other services billed to the room (e.g. food and drink, spa, incidentals, etc.) are the responsibility of the awardee.
Short course (Monday) and field trip (Friday) registration fees are not covered by Professional Stipends.
Recipients must register by close-of-business December 7, 2018 or forfeit their stipend.
Individuals or their affiliated organization are responsible for paying their own lodging and travel expenses. Lodging information for Skamania Lodge and other nearby locations can be found here.
Stipend applications are ranked by a multidisciplinary committee. The committee attempts to distribute stipends geographically and among technical disciplines (biology, geomorphology, engineering, etc) and employers (watershed councils, conservation districts, etc). Part-time applicants are eligible to apply, though priority is given to full-time applicants. Awardees will be notified by email and receive a registration code that will be active for two weeks. Awardees failing to register by the December 7 forfeit their stipend. Forfeited stipends are re-awarded to candidates on a standby list based on the review committee's composite score.
The 2019 application form is submitted via the RRNW website. The application link will be available on October 15th.
Upon submission of the application form, you will receive an email confirming receipt of application.
You will be able to access your application by using the link in the email to change/made edits until the November 9, 2018 deadline.
Job Activity Involved in restoration / enhancements of stream, riparian, and/or watershed systems.
Eligible Organizations Watershed councils, watershed groups, environmental education organizations, Fisheries Enhancement Groups, Lead Entities, salmon recovery regional organizations, conservation districts, federally-recognized Native American tribes or First Nations and non-profit organizations.
In the past, some stipends (scholarships) offered by RRNW have had state residency criteria. I didn't see that this year. Are there residency-based eligibility requirements?
No. Stipends offered for the current Symposium are funded by RRNW and are not limited by geographic area. Previous state-specific funding has been eliminated by state budget-cuts.
Will I receive an email confirming receipt of my application?
Yes! Upon submission of the application form, you will receive an email confirming receipt of application.
You will be able to access your application by using the link in this email to change/make edits until the November 4th deadline.
Employees of my organization have received stipends or scholarships to attend RRNW in the past. Are we eligible to apply again?
Yes. As long as your organization meets the eligibility criteria stated above, you may apply. Stipend reviewers tend to prioritize applications from organizations that have not received past RRNW assistance. For those that have received assistance, time elapsed since the last award is considered.
I received notification I have been awarded an RRNW Professional Stipend, now what?
Each awardee will receive an email from RRNW with an agreement form attachment. Once the form is completed, signed, and returned to RRNW, awardee will receive instructions on how to complete their registration or lodging.
I was recently hired and don't know if anyone from my organization has received RRNW stipend or scholarship assistance in the past. What do I do?
Make a good faith effort to find out from other employees. RRNW keeps a database of past awards and can cross-check applications if necessary.
The award notification date has passed and I haven't heard anything. What does that mean?
More than likely it means that you were not awarded a stipend. However, be sure to check spam folders and/or other filters in your email account. RRNW is an all-volunteer organization and we receive many applications every year. As a matter of practice, we do not send emails to unsuccessful applicants. A runners-up list of applicants is maintained in event of a cancellation. In the event of a cancellation, standby list candidates will be notified by email.
Are students eligible for RRNW Professional Stipends?
Only if meeting the employment conditions described above. The RRNW Professional Stipend program targets volunteers and professionals working in the field of stream restoration.
What opportunities exist for students that don't meet RRNW Professional Stipend employment criteria?
Each year, we recruit up to four student interns to assist with operations during the Symposium. In return for their service, student interns receive a reduced registration rate and shared lodging. For more information on the RRNW Student Intern program, please go to the Student Intern Page of the RRNW website and/or email volunteer@rrnw.org.
Are employees of municipal, state, or federal agencies eligible?
No. We are unable to provide stipend assistance for these individuals at this time.
The symposium isn't until February, but you require recipients to register in December or lose their stipend. What gives?
Each year RRNW receives 3 to 5 times as many applications as we have stipends to award. Space at the Lodge is filled by December and the Symposium usually fills by mid-January. An early-December registration deadline for stipend recipients provides an adequate planning horizon for RRNW volunteers and Skamania Lodge. It also provides a margin to re-award the stipend to someone on the waiting list in the event of a cancellation.
How is the RRNW Professional Stipend Program funded?
Funding for the stipend has historically been generated directly by RRNW fundraising efforts, including proceeds from raffles, auctions, short-courses, sponsors, donors and the Symposium. Effective the 2017 Symposium, Dr. and Mrs. Klingeman are directly underwriting approximately half of the stipend themselves….THANK-YOU PETE AND NANCY!!!
Do RRNW members receive a discount on the awardee match?
RRNW members receiving stipend assistance do not receive any additional discounts. All recipients pay $125 toward their Symposium registration.
I forwarded my award notification to my administrative support staff and they failed to complete my registration on-time. What now?
As stated in the instructions (above) and on the application, all registrations must be completed by the specified date. It is the sole responsibility of the recipient to meet the conditions of the award.
You can send us an e-mail at stipends@rrnw.org.

Realmuto Comes Off DL, Homers In Marlins Win Over Yankees
Filed Under:Derek Jeter, Don Mattingly, Giancarlo Stanton, J.T. Realmuto, Local TV, Miami Marlins, MLB, New York Yankees
NEW YORK (CBSMiami/AP) — Perhaps the most coveted player remaining on the Miami Marlins roster from a year ago made a big splash in his season debut.
J.T. Realmuto is back in the lineup for the Marlins and ready to help their rebuild.
The athletic catcher was activated from the disabled list Tuesday and hit a three-run homer in Miami's 9-1 win over the New York Yankees. He had been sidelined by a bruised back since March 11.
Under new CEO Derek Jeter, the Marlins traded away NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, Christian Yelich and Dee Gordon during an offseason payroll purge. That left Realmuto as one of the few proven players left in Miami, and there were rumblings he wanted out, too.
"That stuff was all over once spring training started, regardless of how the offseason would have went," Realmuto said at Yankee Stadium. "In this situation, when something happens, you want to get back on the field and help the guys. … I haven't been paying any attention to that. I'm here to play baseball."
Realmuto was behind the plate Tuesday night for the last-place Marlins, who opened 4-12. He batted fifth against Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka and drove in a run with a grounder his first time up, reaching safely on an error.
In the fifth inning, Realmuto put Miami ahead 7-0 when he lined a three-run shot to right field off Tanaka, giving him four RBIs.
"I've just got to step in and do my part, and try to help the team win the best that I can," Realmuto said before the game. "Obviously, we've been struggling lately. But that's just how the game goes. It's an up-and-down roller coaster. I kind of hope to step in, be a little sparkplug and kind of get the guys going a little bit.
"They're fighting. They're battling. It's a tough game. Obviously, things haven't gone our way. Guys in the clubhouse are keeping their heads up and staying positive in their daily work. That's all you can really ask for. In times like this, you just kind of ride the storm," he added.
Realmuto went 3 for 3 with a homer, a double and three runs scored in a rehab game with Class A Jupiter. To make room for him on the roster, the Marlins optioned catcher Chad Wallach to Triple-A New Orleans.
Wallach was 4 for 31 (.129) with two RBIs and 17 strikeouts in nine games. He is the son of Miami bench coach Tim Wallach, who played 17 seasons in the majors.
Realmuto hit .278 with 17 home runs and 65 RBIs in 141 games last year. He batted .303 with 11 homers in 2016 and is a .280 career hitter with 38 home runs, 84 doubles and 13 triples over three-plus seasons in the big leagues.
"It's good to have him back," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "Just less pressure on other guys. Obviously right now we've had trouble scoring runs, so he can be a part of that. Just another kind of cog in the wheel. So, looking forward to seeing what it looks like."

Minutes August 14, 2013
The regular meeting of the Village of Divernon Board of Trustees was held on Wednesday, August 14, 2013, at the Divernon Village Hall. Village President Randy Rhodes called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. After the Pledge of Allegiance was recited by all in attendance, Clerk Rod Molnar called roll: Randy Rhodes "Here", Pam Cronister "Here", Larry Baer "Here", Derek Hedges "Here", Dianne Brenning "Here". Also in attendance were Police Chief Barclay Harris, Interim Treasurer Christine Nichols and Superintendent Larry Rhodes. Melissa Layton and Jim Copelin were absent.
A motion was made by Cronister to approve the minutes of July 24, 2013. Hedges seconded and the motion passed 4-0. Baer voting present.
A motion was made by Hedges and seconded by Cronister to approve the corrected executive session minutes of July 24, 2013. The motion was approved 4-0. Baer voting present.
Brenning presented the Village bills with a motion that they be approved. After Baer seconded the motion, it was approved 4-0.
Tom Masters was in attendance. He had received a letter from the Village instructing him not to park his vehicles across the sidewalk. He told the Board that there was not enough room between his garage and the sidewalk for his car to fit and it hadn't been a problem in the past. Mayor Rhodes explained that in addition to the State Statute that prohibits parking or blocking sidewalks, the Village had been under an order from the Attorney General's office to make walks handicapped accessible and that they should not be obstructed.
Stephanie Kaylor was present to work out a payment plan for her overdue utility bill.
Interim Treasurer Christine Nichols made a report to the Board of her findings since taking over the position. She will continue to work two days a week until the annual audit is complete. She will be in attendance when the outside auditing firm does their work to answer questions.
Superintendent Rhodes reported that the water tower will have its one year check since work was completed. The contractor will be here sometime in September. His crew has been replacing some storm sewer tiles, and has also been disconnecting utility services at abandoned properties. He also reported that the annual work on the Village streets had been completed.
Chief Harris reported on a number of items. Part time officer Trevor Daily has submitted his resignation. There continues to be a problem with thefts from vehicles that have been left unlocked. The new bicycle patrol is going well. The department has received funds from the police vest grant. A number of citations for unkept properties have been resolved.
Cronister reported that before any action is taken on the water rates, Treasurer Nichols wants to go over the figures in the water fund. An increase from the Otter Lake Water Commission will go into effect in November of this year. Bids for the annual sidewalk program will be in the next
edition of the Divernon News. She will get the Board a draft of an ordinance regarding fences around swimming pools.
Brenning and Nichols have discussed the future of the Village Treasurer position. There is the possibility that some of the treasurer duties can be moved to those of the office manager. The Board will assess the position after the annual audit is complete.
Hedges gave the Board an update on the request of the sign for Lexie Izzard for winning the Jr. Olympic National Trampoline Championship. He will also be contacting Banyon Inc. concerning some service issues.
The Board received a thank you note for the donation to the annual summer reading program from the Township Library. Molnar gave the Board information from Sterling Inc. on updates to the codified ordinances.
A motion was made by Cronister and seconded by Brenning to place ads in the Divernon News' football and basketball inserts at $39.00 each. The motion passed 4-0.
Motion by Cronister to adjourn at 8:37 p.m.
