There have been gay priests in the SSPX, I think a few were expelled after they came onto some seminarians. They then formed the Society of St. John before being suppressed by the diocese (I think..)
They were suppressed only after the diocese ignored +Williamson's warnings and after they attempted pedophile acts.

Is there more than one socierty of st. John? I visited a Ukrainian Catholic monastery in Michigan once that is someway also called society of st. John. The two founding monks used to be Latin but became Ukrainian over a disagreement with the Latin bishop, so now I'm wondering and hoping there is no connection.

1. Psychopathology is not a theological category. Even the CCC (pp 2357) admits that it cannot identify the psychological genesis of this 'disorder.'
2. 'Lifestyle' is not a theological category. Attraction is human desire (see James 1:12-16). It should not define a person. God created two sexes only.
Problem one is you are changing the board in the middle of the game. Here you are referring to "theological categories" but previously your referred to "anthropological categories"
"Catholic Johnny" Wrote: However, it must be admitted that no such anthropological category as the "homosexual person" existed before the Pontificate of John Paul II.
Quote: 3. Pennance, faith, mortification of concupscient desire, and growth in grace and holiness are the lot of all Christians. No exception should be made for the homosexual. You are adopting a medical theory and not a Gospel position on this. The medical theory is "once sick, always sick" (cf alcoholism) and therefore the compassionate response is to help the "alcoholic" (another nonbiblical identity designation with widespread acceptance in the Church) cope with his 'disease.' The Gospel calls us to "overcome the world" (1 John 5:4).
Well, you are adopting an anthropological position on this, or at least you were until you changed directions.
Be that as it may, the Gospel tells us to bear our Crosses, not that our Crosses will be removed from us. If someone has a predilection towards a particular sin, that is their Cross. No one is making any exception in that for anyone.
Quote: 4. I never said anyone wasn't good enough to be called Christian. I said the opposite: that the sacred and exalted title of Christian was too holy to be hyphenated with a mortal sin.
No one is hyphenating anything. No one said "homosexual-Christian" or "heterosexual-Christian". What you said, may I remind you, is this:
"a homosexual cannot be a Christian"
Seems like a pretty clear statement to me. Anyone who has same-sex attraction problems cannot be a Christian in your book.
Quote: I think you are obscuring my point. Because Catholics are confused about something that the Apostles have made clear (and the Fathers and Doctors in Tradition), we uncritically allow homosexual "Priests" to "minister" in the RCC and they are destroying it from the inside out. Peripheral discussions about psychology and pseudo-medical theories may help to clear the air as they are dispelled by sound doctrine, but the issue I am raising is the status of those who claim to be Priests and homosexuals at the same time.
I'm not obscuring your point. If your argument is flailing, it's your fault and your responsibility to clarify it. Make a better argument.
Those are not peripheral discussions when you say a homosexual cannot be a Christian. They are relevant and go to the basis of your argument.
Quote: I still haven't seen anyone here on this thread yet address St. Paul's teaching in 1 Cor. 6:9-11 and Romans 1:24-28.
First, as a trad, you should use a trad Bible. Actually, even a Catholic Bible would be a step in the right direction. You're quoting from the NKJV. Why you would use a Protestant Bible to argue Catholic doctrine is beyond me.
Let's try the D-R:
[9] Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, [10] Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
Effeminate means more than homosexual. It means those who seek luxury and avoid pain. Homosexuals are included in that for philosophical and theological reasons as St. Thomas describes in the Summa, but it means practicing homosexuals.
http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3138.htm
Quote: Objection 1. It seems that effeminacy is not opposed to perseverance. For a gloss on 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, "Nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind," expounds the text thus: "Effeminate--i.e. obscene, given to unnatural vice." But this is opposed to chastity. Therefore effeminacy is not a vice opposed to perseverance.
Reply to Objection 1. This effeminacy is caused in two ways. On one way, by custom: for where a man is accustomed to enjoy pleasures, it is more difficult for him to endure the lack of them. On another way, by natural disposition, because, to wit, his mind is less persevering through the frailty of his temperament. This is how women are compared to men, as the Philosopher says (Ethic. vii, 7): wherefore those who are passively sodomitical are said to be effeminate, being womanish themselves, as it were.
In other words, what the Protestants translate as "homosexuals" really means God doesn't like the weak that are weak because of their own luxuriousness. As St. Thomas points out, homosexuals are effeminate by virtue of being the passive participant in sodomitical acts. If one does not engage in those acts, they are not effeminate in that manner.
The cite in Romans is clear. It condemns acts. No one is arguing homosexual acts aren't sinful. It doesn't say "homosexuals cannot be Christians".

Yeah, this was in Pennsylvania if I remember correctly.

The DR, or even the Vulgate if one is comfortable enough with Latin, should be used to debate theological points.
However, as far as English speakers go, I guess the original KJV could be used for stylistic reasons. If in doubt about some passage, check with the DR or the Vulgate.

Quis:
1. Concede. Permit me to adjust anthropological to theological. What I was referring to was a definition of a category of man that has no precedent in Tradition.
2. Please locate for us a reference to homosexual persons in Catholic theology prior to the 1986 Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Letter Homosexualitatis problema.
Quote: Be that as it may, the Gospel tells us to bear our Crosses, not that our Crosses will be removed from us. If someone has a predilection towards a particular sin, that is their Cross. No one is making any exception in that for anyone.
Not true. The invention of a category, 'homosexual persons' does just that. No one says to the idolater, "you are an idol worshiping person. Bear your cross and do not perform acts of worship towards your idols. We deeply respect your special status as an idolator."
Quote: No one is hyphenating anything. No one said "homosexual-Christian" or "heterosexual-Christian". What you said, may I remind you, is this:
a. Yes, it is hyphenating (our more accurately coupling) the terms homosexual and person together here in the context of a life of Catholic faith lived in chastity. Or do you deny that this is the explicit application of pp 2359 in the CCC?
b. I stand by my statement. Regardless of what they call themselves, according to the Apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 6:9-11 homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. To invent a category of personage that has no precedent in Tradition which flagrantly opposes the explicit teaching of an Apostle in Scripture is unsupportable as a Catholic concept.
c. You are conflating same-sex attractions with a definitive personal identity. "Such were some of you."
5. I never self-identified as a trad, although I support most if not all the positions assumed by Archbishop Lefebvre. I quoted from the NKJV because of its superior English. My personal Bible is the D-R. If you like for the purpose of this discussion, I can limit myself to quotes from the D-R. Not all of our readers will be comfortable with the archaic English. I will use the NAB only if no other translations are available.
a. You seek a more nuanced definition of "effeminate" (although the provided explanation makes my point nicely ;)) and omit the very next identity category liers with mankind. So, "effeminate" as "Passively sodomitical" (receives penile penetration as though a female) or "liers with mankind" (a reference to Leviticus 18:22) both address the behaviors referred to Romans 1:24-28 as a category of personal identity. "Such were some of you."
Quote: In other words, what the Protestants translate as "homosexuals" really means God doesn't like the weak that are weak because of their own luxuriousness.
This is a strained interpretation of what the Apostle is referring to in the passage.
Quote: The cite in Romans is clear. It condemns acts. No one is arguing homosexual acts aren't sinful. It doesn't say "homosexuals cannot be Christians".
a. Romans condemns persons: Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them. Romans 1:32, D-R
b. 1 Cor. 6:9-11 explicitly condemns homosexuals. 2 Cor. 5:17 declares the results of conversion: a new creation. Again, "such were some of you."
The verb to "be" is important here. The Most High God reveals His sacred Name to Moses as "I AM that I AM." Paul uses the same verbs here to explain what these Corinthians were (homosexuals) and what they are (washed, sanctified, justified...). He makes a clear distinction based on the status of their individual identity. You cannot possibly be what you no longer are.
One is 100% free to employ this language (homosexual persons) as a way of discussing the situation regarding either those unrepentant persons or those who have been converted, but not as a theological term. The term was adopted in Homosexualitatis problema from the psychological world. It does not exist in Catholic theology prior to this document. Even Pope Benedict's reference to this problem in Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocations with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders refers not to any previous Papal teaching but to the 1992 Catechism.
The real danger here is the uncritical acceptance of self-identified homosexuals as Roman Catholic Priests and all that that implies.
Before we do anything else, let's clear up 1 Cor. After that, if you want to persist in your argument, we can continue.
1611 KJV:
9 Know yee not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceiued: neither fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselues with mankinde,
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
D-R:
Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
Vulgate:
neque molles neque masculorum concubitores neque fures neque avari neque ebriosi neque maledici neque rapaces regnum Dei possidebunt
Here is what "molles" means:
oft (cushion/grass); flexible/supple/loose/pliant; mild/tolerable; easy; calm;
weak; cowardly; unmanly; effeminate; womanish; pathic; tender (women/youths);
conciliatory/peaceful; complaisant; kindly; impressionable/sensitive; feeble;
tender, gentle; smooth, relaxing; languid (movement); amorous (writings);
Why would St. Paul be condemning homosexual behavior twice? I.e., "effeminate" and "liers with mankind"? He's not. The reason is because he is condemning unmanliness which St. Thomas points out is being passive in the sexual act, a disposition appropriate to the woman, and also the attraction to luxriousness, which is also attributed to women.
The modern Prot translations get it wrong on "effeminate" by translating it as "homosexuals". That can be seen by looking at how the Fathers interpret that word:
Quote: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/02093.htm
Esther alone we find justly adorned. The spouse adorned herself mystically for her royal husband; but her beauty turns out the redemption price of a people that were about to be massacred. And that decoration makes women courtesans, and men effeminate and adulterers, the tragic poet is a witness; thus discoursing:
O adulterous beauty! Barbarian finery and effeminate luxury overthrew Greece; Lacedæmonian chastity was corrupted by clothes, and luxury, and graceful beauty; barbaric display proved Jove's daughter a courtesan.
To such an extent, then, has luxury advanced, that not only are the female sex deranged about this frivolous pursuit, but men also are infected with the disease. For not being free of the love of finery, they are not in health; but inclining to voluptuousness, they become effeminate, cutting their hair in an ungentlemanlike and meretricious way, clothed in fine and transparent garments, chewing mastich, smelling of perfume. What can one say on seeing them? Like one who judges people by their foreheads, he will divine them to be adulterers and effeminate, addicted to both kinds of venery, haters of hair, destitute of hair, detesting the bloom of manliness, and adorning their locks like women. Living for unholy acts of audacity, these fickle wretches do reckless and nefarious deeds, says the Sibyl. For their service the towns are full of those who take out hair by pitch-plasters, shave, and pluck out hairs from these womanish creatures. And shops are erected and opened everywhere; and adepts at this meretricious fornication make a deal of money openly by those who plaster themselves, and give their hair to be pulled out in all ways by those who make it their trade, feeling no shame before the onlookers or those who approach, nor before themselves, being men. Such are those addicted to base passions, whose whole body is made smooth by the violent tuggings of pitch-plasters. It is utterly impossible to get beyond such effrontery. If nothing is left undone by them, neither shall anything be left unspoken by me. Diogenes, when he was being sold, chiding like a teacher one of these degenerate creatures, said very manfully, Come, youngster, buy for yourself a man, chastising his meretriciousness by an ambiguous speech. But for those who are men to shave and smooth themselves, how ignoble! As for dyeing of hair, and anointing of grey locks, and dyeing them yellow, these are practices of abandoned effeminates; and their feminine combing of themselves is a thing to be let alone. For they think, that like serpents they divest themselves of the old age of their head by painting and renovating themselves. But though they do doctor the hair cleverly, they will not escape wrinkles, nor will they elude death by tricking time. For it is not dreadful, it is not dreadful to appear old, when you are not able to shut your eyes to the fact that you are so.
But for one who is a man to comb himself and shave himself with a razor, for the sake of fine effect, to arrange his hair at the looking-glass, to shave his cheeks, pluck hairs out of them, and smooth them, how womanly! And, in truth, unless you saw them naked, you would suppose them to be women. For although not allowed to wear gold, yet out of effeminate desire they enwreath their latches and fringes with leaves of gold; or, getting certain spherical figures of the same metal made, they fasten them to their ankles, and hang them from their necks. This is a device of enervated men, who are dragged to the women's apartments, amphibious and lecherous beasts. For this is a meretricious and impious form of snare. For God wished women to be smooth, and rejoice in their locks alone growing spontaneously, as a horse in his mane; but has adorned man, like the lions, with a beard, and endowed him, as an attribute of manhood, with shaggy breasts—a sign this of strength and rule. So also cocks, which fight in defence of the hens, he has decked with combs, as it were helmets; and so high a value does God set on these locks, that He orders them to make their appearance on men simultaneously with discretion, and delighted with a venerable look, has honoured gravity of countenance with grey hairs. But wisdom, and discriminating judgments that are hoary with wisdom, attain maturity with time, and by the vigour of long experience give strength to old age, producing grey hairs, the admirable flower of venerable wisdom, conciliating confidence. This, then, the mark of the man, the beard, by which he is seen to be a man, is older than Eve, and is the token of the superior nature. In this God deemed it right that he should excel, and dispersed hair over man's whole body. Whatever smoothness and softness was in him He abstracted from his side when He formed the woman Eve, physically receptive, his partner in parentage, his help in household management, while he (for he had parted with all smoothness) remained a man, and shows himself man. And to him has been assigned action, as to her suffering; for what is shaggy is drier and warmer than what is smooth. Wherefore males have both more hair and more heat than females, animals that are entire than the emasculated, perfect than imperfect. It is therefore impious to desecrate the symbol of manhood, hairiness. But the embellishment of smoothing (for I am warned by the Word), if it is to attract men, is the act of an effeminate person,— if to attract women, is the act of an adulterer; and both must be driven as far as possible from our society. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered, says the Lord; Matthew 10:30 those on the chin, too, are numbered, and those on the whole body. There must be therefore no plucking out, contrary to God's appointment, which has counted them in according to His will. Do you not know yourselves, says the apostle, that Christ Jesus is in you? 2 Corinthians 13:5 Whom, had we known as dwelling in us, I know not how we could have dared to dishonour. But the using of pitch to pluck out hair (I shrink from even mentioning the shamelessness connected with this process), and in the act of bending back and bending down, the violence done to nature's modesty by stepping out and bending backwards in shameful postures, yet the doers not ashamed of themselves, but conducting themselves without shame in the midst of the youth, and in the gymnasium, where the prowess of man is tried; the following of this unnatural practice, is it not the extreme of licentiousness? For those who engage in such practices in public will scarcely behave with modesty to any at home. Their want of shame in public attests their unbridled licentiousness in private. For he who in the light of day denies his manhood, will prove himself manifestly a woman by night. There shall not be, said the Word by Moses, a harlot of the daughters of Israel; there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel. Deuteronomy 23:17
But the pitch does good, it is said. Nay, it defames, say I. No one who entertains right sentiments would wish to appear a fornicator, were he not the victim of that vice, and study to defame the beauty of his form. No one would, I say, voluntarily choose to do this. For if God foreknew those who are called, according to His purpose, to be conformed to the image of His Son, for whose sake, according to the blessed apostle, He has appointed Him to be the first-born among many brethren, Romans 8:28-29 are they not godless who treat with indignity the body which is of like form with the Lord?
The man, who would be beautiful, must adorn that which is the most beautiful thing in man, his mind, which every day he ought to exhibit in greater comeliness; and should pluck out not hairs, but lusts. I pity the boys possessed by the slave-dealers, that are decked for dishonour. But they are not treated with ignominy by themselves, but by command the wretches are adorned for base gain. But how disgusting are those who willingly practice the things to which, if compelled, they would, if they were men, die rather than do?
But life has reached this pitch of licentiousness through the wantonness of wickedness, and lasciviousness is diffused over the cities, having become law. Beside them women stand in the stews, offering their own flesh for hire for lewd pleasure, and boys, taught to deny their sex, act the part of women.
Luxury has deranged all things; it has disgraced man. A luxurious niceness seeks everything, attempts everything, forces everything, coerces nature. Men play the part of women, and women that of men, contrary to nature; women are at once wives and husbands: no passage is closed against libidinousness; and their promiscuous lechery is a public institution, and luxury is domesticated. O miserable spectacle! Horrible conduct! Such are the trophies of your social licentiousness which are exhibited: the evidence of these deeds are the prostitutes. Alas for such wickedness! Besides, the wretches know not how many tragedies the uncertainty of intercourse produces. For fathers, unmindful of children of theirs that have been exposed, often without their knowledge, have intercourse with a son that has debauched himself, and daughters that are prostitutes; and licence in lust shows them to be the men that have begotten them. These things your wise laws allow: people may sin legally; and the execrable indulgence in pleasure they call a thing indifferent. They who commit adultery against nature think themselves free from adultery. Avenging justice follows their audacious deeds, and, dragging on themselves inevitable calamity, they purchase death for a small sum of money. The miserable dealers in these wares sail, bringing a cargo of fornication, like wine or oil; and others, far more wretched, traffic in pleasures as they do in bread and sauce, not heeding the words of Moses, Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore, lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Leviticus 19:29
Such was predicted of old, and the result is notorious: the whole earth has now become full of fornication and wickedness. I admire the ancient legislators of the Romans: these detested effeminacy of conduct; and the giving of the body to feminine purposes, contrary to the law of nature, they judged worthy of the extremest penalty, according to the righteousness of the law.
For it is not lawful to pluck out the beard, man's natural and noble ornament.
A youth with his first beard: for with this, youth is most graceful.
By and by he is anointed, delighting in the beard on which descended the prophetic ointment with which Aaron was honoured.
And it becomes him who is rightly trained, on whom peace has pitched its tent, to preserve peace also with his hair.
What, then, will not women with strong propensities to lust practice, when they look on men perpetrating such enormities? Rather we ought not to call such as these men, but lewd wretches (βατάλοι), and effeminate (γύνιδες), whose voices are feeble, and whose clothes are womanish both in feel and dye. And such creatures are manifestly shown to be what they are from their external appearance, their clothes, shoes, form, walk, cut of their hair, look. For from his look shall a man be known, says the Scripture, from meeting a man the man is known: the dress of a man, the step of his foot, the laugh of his teeth, tell tales of him. Sirach 19:29-30
For these, for the most part, plucking out the rest of their hair, only dress that on the head, all but binding their locks with fillets like women. Lions glory in their shaggy hair, but are armed by their hair in the fight; and boars even are made imposing by their mane; the hunters are afraid of them when they see them bristling their hair.
The fleecy sheep are loaded with their wool.
And their wool the loving Father has made abundant for your use, O man, having taught you to sheer their fleeces. Of the nations, the Celts and Scythians wear their hair long, but do not deck themselves. The bushy hair of the barbarian has something fearful in it; and its auburn (ξανθόν) colour threatens war, the hue being somewhat akin to blood. Both these barbarian races hate luxury. As clear witnesses will be produced by the German, the Rhine; and by the Scythian, the waggon. Sometimes the Scythian despises even the waggon: its size seems sumptuousness to the barbarian; and leaving its luxurious ease, the Scythian man leads a frugal life. For a house sufficient, and less encumbered than the waggon, he takes his horse, and mounting it, is borne where he wishes. And when faint with hunger, he asks his horse for sustenance; and he offers his veins, and supplies his master with all he possesses— his blood. To the nomad the horse is at once conveyance and sustenance; and the warlike youth of the Arabians (these are other nomads) are mounted on camels. They sit on breeding camels; and these feed and run at the same time, carrying their masters the while, and bear the house with them. And if drink fail the barbarians, they milk them; and after that their food is spent, they do not spare even their blood, as is reported of furious wolves. And these, gentler than the barbarians, when injured, bear no remembrance of the wrong, but sweep bravely over the desert, carrying and nourishing their masters at the same time.
Perish, then, the savage beasts whose food is blood! For it is unlawful for men, whose body is nothing but flesh elaborated of blood, to touch blood. For human blood has become a partaker of the Word: it is a participant of grace by the Spirit; and if any one injure him, he will not escape unnoticed. Man may, though naked in body, address the Lord. But I approve the simplicity of the barbarians: loving an unencumbered life, the barbarians have abandoned luxury. Such the Lord calls us to be— naked of finery, naked of vanity, wrenched from our sins, bearing only the wood of life, aiming only at salvation.

But are you handsome and beautiful? This is the boast of crows! You are not fairer than the peacock, as regards either its color or its plumage; the bird beats you in plumage, it far surpasses you in its feathers and in its color. The swan too is passing fair, and many other birds, with whom if you are compared you will see that you are nought. Often too worthless boys, and unmarried girls, and harlots, and effeminate men have had this boast; is this then a cause for haughtiness?
Truly it were fitting that for these you should be glad, and rejoice, and express your thanks to the Emperor, since his castigation has proved a correction, his punishment a discipline, his wrath a means of instruction! But that the Baths are shut up? Neither is this an intolerable hardship, that those who lead a soft, effeminate, and dissolute life, should be brought back, though unwillingly, to the love of true wisdom.
If you suppose dignity to belong to a city, think how many persons must partake in this dignity, who are whoremongers, effeminate, depraved and full of ten thousand evil things, and at last despise such honour! But that City above is not of this kind; for it is impossible that he can be a partaker of it, who has not exhibited every virtue.
Quote: http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0135.htm
Let Vulcan lay aside his envy, and not be jealous if he is hated because he is old and club-footed, and Mars loved, because young and beautiful. Since, therefore, you Greeks, your gods are convicted of intemperance, and your heroes are effeminate, as the histories on which your dramas are founded have declared, such as the curse of Atreus, the bed of Thyestes and the taint in the house of Pelops, and Danaus murdering through hatred and making Ægyptus childless in the intoxication of his rage, and the Thyestean banquet spread by the Furies. And Procne is to this day flitting about, lamenting; and her sister of Athens shrills with her tongue cut out. For what need is there of speaking of the goad of Œdipus, and the murder of Laius, and the marrying his mother, and the mutual slaughter of those who were at once his brothers and his sons?
It is now our purpose to demonstrate that death ought not to cause too heavy grief, because nature itself rejects this. And so they say that there was a law among the Lycians, commanding that men who gave way to grief should be clothed in female apparel, inasmuch as they judged mourning to be soft and effeminate in a man. And it is inconsistent that those who ought to offer their breast to death for the faith, for religion, for their country, for righteous judgment, and the endeavour after virtue, should grieve too bitterly for that in the case of others which, if a fitting cause required, they would seek for themselves. For how can one help shrinking from that in ourselves which one mourns with too little patience when it has happened to others? Put aside your grief, if you can; if you cannot, keep it to yourself.
For how can it be other than worthy of the utmost condemnation that a damsel who has spent her life entirely at home and been schooled in modesty from earliest childhood, should be compelled on a sudden to cast off all shame, and from the very commencement of her marriage be instructed in imprudence; and find herself put forward in the midst of wanton and rude men, and unchaste, and effeminate? What evil will not be implanted in the bride from that day forth? Immodesty, petulance, insolence, the love of vain glory: since they will naturally go on and desire to have all their days such as these. Hence our women become expensive and profuse; hence are they void of modesty, hence proceed their unnumbered evils.
This, I think, neither befits the divine majesty nor the discipline of the Gospel, that the modesty and credit of the Church should be polluted by so disgraceful and infamous a contagion. For since, in the law, men are forbidden to put on a woman's garment, and those that offend in this manner are judged accursed, how much greater is the crime, not only to take women's garments, but also to express base and effeminate and luxurious gestures, by the teaching of an immodest art.
9. Innocence, then, and knowledge make a man blessed. We have also noted already that the blessedness of eternal life is the reward for good works. It remains, then, to show that when the patronage of pleasure or the fear of pain is despised (and the first of these one abhors as poor and effeminate, and the other as unmanly and weak), that then a blessed life can rise up in the midst of pain. This can easily be shown when we read: Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you for righteousness' sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Matthew 5:11-12 And again: He that will come after Me, let him take up his cross and follow Me. Matthew 16:24
Effeminate includes homosexuals in a sense, but it is not limited to it. Translating "effeminate" as "homosexual" is theologically wrong. It's not how the Fathers interpreted the meaning of the word, as you can see above, and if you search yourself, you will find probably another hundred references to it. It means "womanly" in all philosophical connotations of the word, the word in Latin being "molles" which never meant "homosexual" in the strict sense you are and the intellectually dishonest fundamental Protestants are using it.
The moral of this story is: don't use Protestant sources if you want to understand Catholic theology. Use Catholic sources: Catholic Bibles, the Summa, the writings of the Fathers, etc.
As far as "homosexual persons", before we go into what I believe is an unnecessarily labored interpretation of the phrase on your part, do you want me to find a pre-1986 use of the word homosexual in Catholic theology, or the exact phrase "homosexual persons"? Since the word homosexual didn't even really exist before the late 1800's, can I find equivalent phrases such as "sodomitical person", or would those not count?

Can a Catholic think that Homosexuality is the result of a Brain disorder? I don't mean psychological disorder, I mean brain, a biological defect. As long as you don't justify the behaviour which must nevertheless be resisted if they want to save themselves.

If a man wants a nice house, a nice car, or an easy job above God, then he cannot go to Heaven as far as we know.

Home News Internet Zoom to Start Providing End-to-End Encryption to Free Users
Zoom to Start Providing End-to-End Encryption to Free Users
Anushmita Samal
Chief executive officer of Zoom, Eric Yuan, had said in an earnings call that Zoom will not want to offer end-to-end encryption to free users as it wants to tie up with the law enforcement because people could be possibly misusing the platform for illegal activities.
Zoom has now decidedly changed their policy and has announced that it shall provide end-to-end encryption for all users be it paid or unpaid.
Eric Yuan has made it very clear in their earnings call as to why they would not provide end-to-end encryption, solely because the platform does not want to get abused. Zoom has faced considerable backlash for the same announcement too. Users were unhappy with the differential treatment meted out towards free users.
Now that Zoom has agreed on changing the encryption policies, there are certain steps which have been incorporated by Zoom for the users on free/basic plan who want E2EE access.
These users now will need to participate in a one-time process that will ask for certain additional information to be filled in.
This additional information now includes verification of the user's phone number through a text message, which is a very basic identification step these days. The company has also started to implement risk-based authentication "in combination with the current mix of tools" that will help to report users better.
Zoom still hasn't mentioned anything on when this feature will be put to use. However, it is reported that the beta version of end-to-end encryption will be put to test from July itself.
All users shall still be getting access to the AES 256 GCM transport encryption which is present by default on Zoom and it is irrespective of whether they use E2EE or not. There is a basic difference with E2E encryption is that it prevents man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, where a hacker tries to snoop between the user and the server, which means that they are listening to the ongoing conversation on the platform.
E2E encryption also means that the platform itself will not be able to have any access to the conversations between two parties on the app.
Zoom has also said that E2E encryption has the option of this particular function that this feature could be switched on and off. Account administrators and enterprises could also enable and disable the encryption for a particular group account.
Zoom's popularity has gone up during the pandemic as video calling for personal reasons and official purposes have risen, along with which there were many such reports that said that the platform was not secured. Hopefully, Zoom's much-needed privacy update will limit these security concerns.

Timmins Whittaker Ltd are an independent insurance broker specializing in the manufacturing sector and a Patron of the Black Country Chamber of Commerce .
Many Insurers specifically exclude the use of portable heaters and his may be either throughout the premises, or only permit their use in an office when occupied.
Please check your policy to see if this is applicable to you.
Mark also says that Chamber members should not use portable electric fan heaters irrespective of circumstances. Despite their low cost they have a very poor safety record and are often the cause of fires.
One of Timmins Whittaker's clients had a fire recently causing over £2,000,000 of damage, due to an employee working on the late shift taking a portable electric fan heater from an office to keep them warm. This was in addition to the main factory heating. The employee left their work station and within a few seconds the heater had caused a fire which was already out of control.
From the time the fire was discovered to the time it was extinguished by the Fire Brigade was just over 10 minutes and please see the enclosed photograph for how destructive a small fire can be.
**You must make sure your Insurer does not exclude the use of portable heaters. If you have employees working out of office hours, make sure that they are warm and do not have to take portable heaters from the office, without you being aware of it.
If they do, and there is a fire, your insurer may well say they will not accept the claim. If they do not accept the claim, can you fund the repair costs and the potential loss of business?

NEWS FROM THE DIOCESES
MOSCOW: February 22, 2005
Representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia to Participate in the International Russian People's Council
His Eminence Archbishop Mark of Berlin and Germany, President of the Committee on discussions with the Moscow Patriarchate; His Eminence Archbishop Hilarion of Sydney, Australia and New Zealand; His Eminence Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco and Western America; Mitred Protopriest George Larin and Protopriest Alexander Lebedeff have been invited to participate in the 9th International Russian People's Council, to be held at Christ the Savior Church and Danilov Monastery on March 9-10. The Council will include the following areas of discussion: "The Church. The Army. The People. The Past. The Present. The Future," "Contemporary Threats to the World and Security," and others.
International Russian People's Councils discuss the most important and urgent matters of the day. Past Councils have concentrated on: "Faith and the State," "Dialog of Civilizations," "The Health of the Nation," etc. The last Council, held in February of last year, was devoted to the topic: "Russia and the Orthodox World." Protopriest Peter Holodny, Treasurer of the Synod of Bishops, spoke at that Council.

The team is composed of three pelvic floor physiotherapists: Camila Garcia de Carvalho, Liris Wuo and Aline Rosseto. Their medical director is gynecologist Maita Poli de Araujo who has proposed a new nomenclature for dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction in athletes. All three therapists are from the Gynecology Sport sector of the Federal University Medical School of Sao Paulo/ UNIFESP.
Pelvic floor dysfunction in athletes and disabled athletes is increasing every day in different countries. It's seen in different age groups with urinary incontinence the most common problem. Involuntarily loss of urine negatively effects sport performance as well as overall quality of life.
The Sport Gynecology Clinic is conducted by a multidisciplinary team of pelvic floor physiotherapists, gynecologists, nutritionists, physical educators and psychologists. All athletes undergo an assessment with physiotherapists specialising in the pelvic floor. This assessment consists of history taking and physical examination. The physical therapists interview athletes regarding their training program, fluid intake, symptoms of filling and voiding, sexual health, gynecological history and bowel habits. The physical exam includes assessment of joint mobility based on the Beighton Scale. Studies indicate that joint hypermobility may be related to the presence of urinary incontinence. The athletes are examined in lithotomy position with a complete assessment of reflexes and sensitivity in the perineal region. The examiner completes a functional evaluation of the pelvic floor muscles using the Perfect Scale. After the individual evaluations, the athletes are gathered in a gymnasium to participate in the Sport Pelvic School. This project aims to educate the athletes about the anatomy and function of the pelvic structures using lectures and activities for body awareness. The exercises are based on the Pelvic Sports Program, which has been shown to be effective for improving the function of the pelvic floor muscles in athletes.
Throughout the Sport Gynecology Clinic evaluation, a large number of athletes are found to have micturition disorders. The physiotherapy team proposes a treatment protocol based on optimal function and focused activation of the pelvic floor muscles especially before efforts made in training via the Knack protocol.
We wish all athletes participating in the 2016 games, good luck! And thank you to all the medical professionals assisting in the games!


The SULS ethnocultural portfolio, headed by the Ethnocultural Officer, aims to provide support and guidance to law students identifying themselves as from an ethnic, cultural or religious minority. SULS recognises that it is essential to a student's positive mental health and overall wellbeing that they can uncompromisingly express their ethnic, cultural or religious identity.
The ethnocultural portfolio was introduced at the beginning of 2018 to actively advocate for students of colour in the planning and execution of SULS social and professional networking events as well as create forums addressing the lack of diversity in the legal profession.
Inclusion at the law school and the wider legal profession should not require erasure of culture, ethnicity or religion. There is a profound connection between people of colour and their respective cultural or religious identity. This connection should not be diminished in attempts to 'fit in' at the law school. Students identifying as from a cultural, religious or ethnic minority ARE the law school.
SULS recognises that students of colour will encounter discriminatory practices, whether direct or systemic, that other students may not. The Ethnocultural Officer is the point of contact to help students deal with, and create programs to raise awareness about, these practices.
Students of colour should not hesitate to contact the Ethnocultural Officer with any queries including those relating to mental health; job and career prospects; social and professional networking events on campus.

Blutige Straße ist ein deutscher Kriminalfilm von Dror Zahavi aus dem Jahr 2011. Es ist die 323. Folge innerhalb der Filmreihe Polizeiruf 110 und der 47. Fall für die Hallenser Kommissare Schmücke und Schneider und der fünfte Fall für die Oberkommissarin Nora Lindner (Isabell Gerschke).

Herbert Schmücke liegt in der Klinik nach einer Schussverletzung vom vorherigen Fall Ein todsicherer Plan, während Schneider und Lindner sich um die Aufklärung des vermeintlichen Unfalltods einer Sekretärin beschäftigen.

Handlung
Spät abends wird Sybille Bohse von einem Auto überfahren und ist auf der Stelle tot. Ein Zeuge ist davon überzeugt, dass dies mit Absicht geschah und so ermittelt die Mordkommission. Kommissar Schmücke hat sich von seiner Schussverletzung des letzten Falls noch nicht ganz erholt und befindet sich weiterhin in einer Klinik. Daher ermittelt Kommissar Schneider mit Oberkommissarin Lindner allein. Sie befragen zunächst Hans Bohse, den Ehemann des Opfers, der auffälligerweise einen Unfallschaden an seinem Volvo hat. Er erklärt, dass er und seine Frau eine sehr lockere Ehe führen und jeder seiner Wege gehen würde. Lindner spürt bei seinen Ausführungen eine gewisse Verbitterung.

Neben der Polizei ist auch die Presse sehr an diesem Fall interessiert, denn die Getötete war nach den Recherchen der Reporter durch wilde Sexpartys in "höheren" Kreisen bekannt. Ehe Schneider und Lindner erste Anhaltspunkte finden, überschlagen sich die Ereignisse: Hans Bohse springt aus dem Fenster seiner Wohnung, was für ihn tödlich endet und auf den Journalisten Walter Klaue wird ein Mordanschlag verübt. Er recherchiert seit einiger Zeit über die Machenschaften und Verstrickungen zwischen Lokalpolitik und Wirtschaft und hatte allem Anschein nach eine heiße Story in der Hinterhand. Dem neuen Staatsanwalt Ole Mahler sind diese Andeutungen der Sensationspresse zu vage und er ermahnt die Polizei sachlich zu bleiben und solchen wilden Spekulationen nicht weiter Beachtung zu schenken. Nora Lindner lässt sich von dieser Meinung anstecken, denn sie hat sich in Mahler verliebt. Schneider will hingegen alle Möglichkeiten beleuchten.

Nachdem der Unfallwagen gefunden wird und dort die DNA-Spuren von Hans Bohse gefunden werden, geht die Polizei davon aus, dass er seine Frau aus Eifersucht überfahren und sich dann selbst umgebracht hat. Klaue ist mit viel Glück bei der Explosion seines Wohnwagens nur leicht verletzt worden, muss aber in der Klinik behandelt werden. Dort nutzt Schmücke die Chance und veranlasst, dass der Journalist mit bei ihm im Zimmer untergebracht wird. So kann er ihn "als verdeckter Ermittler" ein wenig aushorchen.

Für Kommissar Schneider ist ein Mord aus Eifersucht wenig wahrscheinlich. Da Sybille Bohse bis vor kurzem Sekretärin bei dem "Baulöwen" René Heintze war und sie dort von Heintzes illegalen Geschäften erfahren haben dürfte, erscheint es ihm wahrscheinlicher, dass die Frau durch ihren Tod zum Schweigen gebracht werden sollte. Schneider will für Heintzes Geschäftsräume einen Durchsuchungsbeschluss, um ihm die Korruption nachzuweisen, aber der Staatsanwalt verweigert ihm dies. Lindner kommen allmählich Zweifel an Mahlers Loyalität. Er ist der Sohn von Heiner Kern, einem Stadtrat, der nach den Anschuldigungen der Presse mit in Heintzes Geschäfte involviert ist. Nachdem der Journalist Klaue herausfindet, dass seine Recherchen, die er dem Staatsanwalt Mahler übergeben hatte, von ihm negiert werden und er behauptet, dieses Material nicht bekommen zu haben, entführt er Mahlers Vater, um den Staatsanwalt zur Ehrlichkeit zu bewegen. Er bestellt ihn zu einem Übergabeort, wo er zusammen mit Heintze erscheint, aber auch die Polizei auf ihn wartet. Lindner muss ihrem Geliebten erklären, dass die Spurensicherung beweisen kann, dass er das Unfallauto gefahren hat und die DNA von Hans Bohse dort nur zur Täuschung platziert wurde.

Staatsanwalt Ole Mahler wird festgenommen, ebenso wie René Heintze, dem man die Veruntreuung von Geldern in Millionenhöhe vorwirft und mit Klaues Recherchen auch beweisen kann.

Hintergrund
Blutige Straße wurde von Saxonia Media Filmproduktion im Auftrag des MDR produziert und in Halle und Stassfurt gedreht. Am 30. Oktober 2011 erfolgte die Deutsche Erstausstrahlung im Ersten zur Hauptsendezeit.

Rezeption

Einschaltquote
Die Erstausstrahlung des Polizeiruf Blutige Straße am 30. Oktober 2011 wurde in Deutschland insgesamt von 7,33  Millionen Zuschauern gesehen. Damit wurde ein Marktanteil von 20,6 Prozent erreicht.

Kritik
Rainer Tittelbach von tittelbach.tv bewertet diesen Polizeiruf sehr positiv und lobt in als einen "gut getimte[n], abwechslungsreiche[]n 'Polizeiruf 110', der die Generationsunterschiede bestmöglich einsetzt, gewohnt bildstark von Dror Zahavi inszeniert, vorzüglich gespielt und nicht unspannend."

Bei der Frankfurter Allgemeinen resümiert Heike Hupertz recht erheitert und meint: "Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit […] muss beim MDR jemand aufgewacht sein und die Operation 'Frischer Wind' in Angriff genommen haben. Da jetzt beim Sender sowieso eiserne Besen kehren (sollen), mag man sich gedacht haben, ist die Gelegenheit günstig, eine paar alte Zöpfe mit abzuschneiden." Alles in allem ist ihrer Meinung nach "der bisher so behäbige 'Polizeiruf' aus Halle […] nicht mehr wiederzuerkennen. Er zeigt Frische. Und das ist gut so."

Die Kritiker der Fernsehzeitschrift TV Spielfilm vergaben eine mittlere Wertung (Daumen zur Seite) und befanden Blutige Straße sei "gut besetzt, aber doch sehr bedächtig erzählt" und zogen als Gesamtfazit: "Wilde Bettgeschichte, schnarchig umgesetzt".

Taking Inspiration from the Barnes Foundation Art Collection
All questions of practice
& Grantees
& Colleagues

How might a world-famous art collection—its components, its composition—inform a new piece of music? MacArthur award-winning saxophonist and composer Ken Vandermark, whose new commission is a response to Philadelphia's legendary Barnes Foundation, shares his thoughts.
I visited the Barnes Foundation this past February as a way to start my research. Before arriving, I was honestly expecting that any connection between my music and what Albert Barnes had assembled would be tenuous at best, because while definite correlations can be made between the visual and aural arts, these parallels are often tangential. When I saw how Barnes had organized his collection of art, however, I was immediately struck by how his system of display related to my current interests in the improvised music developed during the 1970s, particularly work innovated by musicians in organizations like the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians in Chicago and the Black Artists Group in St. Louis, and by Europeans connected to the Instant Composers Pool in the Netherlands and the Free Music Productions record label in Germany. From my point of view, these sets of artists explored and, in some cases, interrogated the cultural and political ramifications of American jazz and how that history of music related to, or did not relate to, their contemporary creative context. I am not sure what Barnes' particular agenda was in the organization of his collection and the way he exhibited it, but from my standpoint, a direct association can be made between the aesthetics of these musicians and what Barnes presented to the public and the students at his school. In both cases the staging of the material, whether aural or visual, creates and almost forces an inquiry of the artwork by the audience, either through suggestion or outright implication.
About Ken Vandermark
Ken Vandermark is a Chicago-based composer, saxophonist, and MacArthur Fellowship recipient, whose work has often been aligned with Jazz. In 2014, Ars Nova Workshop, with Center funding, commissioned him to compose a new work for his Made to Break ensemble, in response to the Barnes Foundation's art collection.

A good example of what I am talking about in music is an album that the Art Ensemble of Chicago released called, Les Stances A Sophie, on EMI France in 1970. On it were compositions by the band that ranged from funk (Theme De Yoyo), material related to the free jazz of the mid-1960s (Theme De Celine), and an arrangement of Renaissance music from Western Europe (Variations Sur Un Theme De Monteverdi). All are deconstructed and investigated through the Art Ensemble's methodologies at the time: the heavy funk groove of Theme De Yoyo is repeatedly ripped apart, the free energy of Theme De Celine is turned on its head and satirized, and the theme by Monteverdi is both played "straight" and as a jazz-based send up. The inquiry and examination of the genres that these compositions stem from do not only take place within the pieces themselves, but also in the way that the compositions are placed side by side on the album.
In the Barnes collection it is almost impossible for the individual pieces to be perceived outside of a group context because of the way the works as a whole are arranged throughout the galleries. As with the Art Ensemble of Chicago album discussed above, different time periods, genres, and forms are put side by side with an intention that may be obscure or difficult to decipher, but which has a clear intent nonetheless. And it is in this sensibility—the combination of artistic forces that creates an allowance for an individual piece to remain singular within an atmosphere of multiplicity—where I found a direct way to relate the work exhibited at the Barnes Foundation to my current interests in music, and how I want to compose for the Made to Break ensemble.

The Battle of Fort Donelson (February 12-16, 1862) was one of the first bloody conflicts in the Civil War and opened the Cumberland River (that runs into Nashville, Tennessee) open to the use of and attack by the Union Army under the command of Ulysses S. Grant.
After Grant attacked the fort several times, probing the defenses, they attempted to reduce the fort with artillery fire from the Union Gunboats. However, after sustaining heavy damage from the defensive batteries in Fort Donelson they Gunboats were forced to withdraw. On February 15, the Fort was surrounded by Union forces and early that morning the confederate commander John B. Floyd launched a surprise attack, to create an avenue of escape almost routing the Union Army completely.
After Grant rallied his troops and counterattacked, the Confederate commander lost his nerve and retreated back into the fortifications. On February 16, the Confederates surrendered to General Grant at the Dover Hotel.

MARUANI MERCIER © 2020 All rights reserved - Privacy Policy
The Lost of England
Gallery - Brussels - Belgium
MARUANI MERCIER is proud to announce the opening of The Lost of England, the first solo exhibition of acclaimed British painter George Shaw in Belgium.
Having just finished his two year residency at the National Gallery in London, with as pinnacle his praised exhibition With My Back to Nature; Turner prize award nominee George Shaw will present a brand new collection of paintings at MARUANI MERCIER in Brussels.
George Shaw paints the outskirts and woods he grew up in with passion and fastidious realism. His paintings seemingly freeze a dramatic moment in time – whether it has just passed, is about to happen, or is happening right now. Any human presence is only declared by some litter, a tramping of leaves, or a row of garage units worn down by time.
Just as remarkable is George Shaw's favoured medium, Humbrol enamel paints. Normally used to paint model trains and aeroplanes, the thin liquid is very difficult to manipulate but gives his paintings an almost photographic appearance. As enamel has no historic associations, using it as paint distances George Shaw from being a mere landscape painter, while simultaneously joining and modernising a great tradition.
George Shaw was born in Coventry, UK in 1966. He received his Bachelor of Fine Art and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education at the Sheffield Polytechnic, as well as a Masters degree in Painting at the Royal College of Art in London.
George Shaw's work is included in several major collections, including the Arts Council Collection; Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery; British Airways; British Council; Cincinnati Art Museum; Deutsche Bank; Government Art Collection; Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Coventry; Mead Gallery, University of Warwick; Middlesborough Art Gallery; National Museum of Wales; Olbricht Collection, Germany; Simmons & Simmons; Southampton City Art Gallery and the Tate Collection.
He lives and works in Devon, UK.
The upcoming exhibition, The Lost of England, opens at MARUANI MERCIER in Brussels on the 7th of September and will run until the 3th of October, 2017.
An exhibition catalogue will be edited for this exhibition.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal law that protects buyers of any product that costs more than $25 and comes with an express written warranty, such as a new car. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the primary statutory law governing sales contracts, provides that a buyer is entitled to reject any goods that fail in any respect to conform to a contract. All states have enacted versions of the so-called 'Lemon Law', which provides that if the manufacturer or dealer cannot fix a vehicle to conform to a warranty after a "reasonable" number of repair attempts during the warranty period, then the manufacturer must replace the vehicle or reimburse the buyer or lessee for its purchase price.
The Federal Trade Commission's "Holder Rule" 16 CFR 433, provides that where financing is arranged by the dealer, the finance company will be subject to all of the consumer's claims and defenses arising out of the transaction. Thus, the buyer or lessee of a defective vehicle will be able to assert his/her claims against the seller and manufacturer against the finance company, as well.
The law generally defines a "lemon" as a vehicle that has a defect that substantially impairs its use, safety, or value, and which has not been repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. If a vehicle is found to be a 'lemon' then the manufacturer must give the purchaser a replacement vehicle or refund the purchase price and incidental expenses.
The Lemon Law generally does not list specific defects that are considered substantial. A consumer must be able to show how the vehicle has been substantially impaired. Peeling paint, "funny noises" and other minor defects in a vehicle that is otherwise drivable, will not qualify the vehicle for Lemon Law protection. For example, to prove substantial value impairment, one could show that the retail value of the vehicle is significantly less than it would be without the defect. Although a defect may be annoying, it is not necessarily "substantial".
Any defect or condition that results from an accident, abuse, neglect, vandalism, modification, repair or alteration of the vehicle by persons other than the manufacturer's authorized service agent.
Whether a used vehicle is covered by the Lemon Law depends upon which State the car was purchased or leased in. Some states include used and leased cars in their Lemon Law statutes and some have separate laws for used vehicles. Generally, if the used vehicle is still under the manufacturer's warranty, the Lemon Law applies.
If the state's Lemon Law does not cover a defective motorcycle, motor home, used car, leased car, or a car used for business purposes, the recourse available for defective products through the Uniform Commercial Code and the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act may still apply and the purchaser may be entitled to damages or rescission (revocation of the sales agreement).
The manufacturer or its agents must have made 3-4 attempts to repair the same problem, or the vehicle has been 'out of service' for more than 15-30 days (not necessarily all at the same time) while being repaired for any number of problems. The number of necessary repairs or 'out of service' period will vary according to state law.
The repair attempts or 'out of service' period have occurred within 12-18 months of the vehicle's delivery to the consumer or 12,000-24,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first. These periods and mileage will vary according to state law.
The warranty materials or the owner's manual accompanying the vehicle may require the consumer to notify the manufacturer about any problem(s) directly. It is important that keep complete and accurate records of all contacts with the manufacturer or dealer, and all receipts are maintained. A consumer has a right to an itemized bill for any repair work, including warranty repair work. Make sure the dealer records complaints on any Repair Order accurately. Be sure to describe the defect exactly the same way on each repair visit as otherwise, rights under the "reasonable attempts to repair for the same defect" clause may be forfeited. Dates, times in/out, and odometer reading should be recorded each time the car is repaired.
Occasionally, a new car is not suspected of being a 'lemon' until it is too late (out of warranty, over the mileage limit, etc). If a record of every repair visit is maintained, rights under the Lemon Law may not be lost.
Once the vehicle is out of service for repair by the manufacturer or its agent for one or more defects for a the required number of days days, the consumer must ordinarily give written notice, by registered or express mail, to the manufacturer of the need for repair. The manufacturer then has a final chance to repair the nonconformity (see Final Chance to Repair, below).
If the defect continues or recurs despite the repair attempts the next step in the Lemon Law process is to offer the manufacturer a final repair opportunity, usually for a period of 7 business days. Should the final attempt to correct the nonconformity fail, the consumer can then seek to enforce his/her rights to either replacement or repurchase of the vehicle.
Under virtually all Lemon Law statutes, if there is a dispute as to entitlement, the case is referred to mediation or arbitration. Arbitration is an inexpensive and informal way to resolve a complaint without going to court. In arbitration, the consumer and the manufacturer present evidence about the condition of the vehicle to an impartial arbitrator who decides the case and issues a written decision. If the manufacturer has a dispute-settlement procedure then the consumer must ordinarily apply for relief under that procedure. Mediation allows both parties to reach a mutually agreeable resolution with the help of a facilitator; it is a voluntary process, requiring both parties' consent. Many states offer mediation facilities for disputants.
The manufacturer's arbitration program can result in an order for additional repairs, replacement or a refund; the state arbitration program can only order a replacement vehicle, a full refund or no relief at all.
The purpose of a state-run arbitration hearing is to determine whether or not a vehicle qualifies for refund or replacement under the Lemon Law. If the arbitrator determines that the vehicle meets the Lemon Law standards, an award of a full refund or replacement will be made. If the arbitrator decides that the vehicle is not a "lemon," there will be no award.
Attorney's fees, time lost from work and other consequential damages are not reimbursable after a favorable Lemon Law arbitration decision.
If the state arbitrator's decision is not favorable, a court action may be initiated. In the lawsuit, the consumer can ask for Lemon Law remedies or other relief that may be available under the Uniform Commercial Code, common law or other state or federal laws.
Approximately half of the states allow for recovery of attorney's fees in a successful court action. If suit is brought under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an attorney's fee will be awarded to the prevailing party. Additionally, court costs and expert witness fees may be recovered.
The consumer's basic remedy under the Lemon Law is replacement or repurchase of the vehicle.
If the vehicle qualifies as a lemon and the manufacturer offers a replacement vehicle, it must be one that is acceptable to the consumer; a replacement vehicle can be rejected and a refund demanded. A refund cannot, however, be rejected and a replacement demanded. Replacement vehicles under the Lemon Law come with a new warranty effective as of the date of delivery of the replacement vehicle.
If the refund option is selected, it will be in the amount of the total contract price of the vehicle including the down payment, any trade-in allowance plus collateral charges, including, sales tax, license and registration fees, costs incurred for towing and storage of the vehicle and for procuring alternative transportation while the vehicle was out of service by reason of repair or was not drivable; if the vehicle was leased, the total of lease payments made to date are refunded as well. Ordinarily, the refund will be reduced by a reasonable allowance for use. The owner may continue to use the vehicle until given a refund or replacement.


if you think you're too young to worry about brain health, you are mistaken. It's never too early to start to take care of your entire body and does not have to do too much investment in all sorts of products or treatments. Brain health depends on just a few small changes in lifestyle. It is a process that requires commitment, patience, love, and support.
Why is it important to take care of the brain?
What is considered more a health problem of the elderly now affects people getting younger: cerebrovascular accident. Using data gathered by the Department of the health of New Jersey during the period 1995-2014, researchers at Rutgers University found that vascular accident rate has increased significantly among young people. And what is more worrisome, vascular has accidentally mostly serious consequences. Another study looked at the consequences of vascular accident among youngsters. They remain with serious disabilities before and living the most productive years. It is therefore easy to understand why it is important to take care of brain health regardless of age. We must do everything we can to reduce, not increase your chances of a stroke.
Practice activities that put the mind in motion-In the category of activities that put the mind in motion are learning a foreign language, listening, absolution smashed or Sudoku and other such activities. For best results, you need to identify the right activity for you, because some activities can be mild for some, but may exhibit a high degree of difficulty for others. To find the correct activity, take a sheet of paper and divides it into two columns. In the first column write down all the activities that you like and the second write activities you want to do them, but you seem tough. Trust-you will quickly find something that suits you.
Exercise: Sport can be fun if you choose to practice something that you like. Experiencing many sports until you find one that suits you and you can hardly wait to practice it again. Movement helps to keep the tension in normal limits and you lose the extra pounds. Hypertension is considered to be a major risk for stroke, according to a study. Extra weight loss plus will automatically reduce the pressure that you feel your lungs, heart, brain, blood vessels and bones.
Keep your blood sugar under control if you have problems with blood sugar levels and it is hard to keep in normal range, you risk affect not only the brain but also the eyes, heart, and kidneys.
Consume foods good for your brain are a few foods that stand out due to their capacity to nourish the brain. These include avocados, blueberries, walnuts, broccoli, dark chocolate, etc. Consume more fruits and vegetables raw and as little meat, alcohol, sugar, etc. Drink a lot of water.
Reduce or eliminate outright smoking-smoking is another major factor that increases the risk of stroke. Why? Because cigarettes increase "bad" cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and reduce the "good" HDL CHOLESTEROL.
Observe the hours of sleep at the end of a day in which you were at work, you did sports and many other things that you usually do, you need to rest, that is to give the body portion of sleep well deserved. It is important for the brain to process and store the information gathered throughout the day. Let your mind rest 7-9 hours every night. The best way to do this is with a program of sleep that followed him.
Make friends-take time for your loved ones. But not via phone or computer. Personal contact is very important. Time spent with family and friends reduces stress levels.
A healthy mind helps you live longer and better. These seven steps will help to reduce the risk of stroke and other Neurovascular diseases and to enjoy a long and happy life. The brain deserves all the attention and consideration it can grant.
Think about it: does it seem too much to watch what you eat, do sports, to sleep better and to keep in touch with friends and family if you think about how much you will receive in return every day? FA changes starting today.


I've recently implemented a couple of updates to the ColdBlue WordPress Theme, which includes (finally) irradiating the annoying font size issues in IE, for good. Head over to the ColdBlue Page for more details and the download link. Upgrading is highly recommended, and is just a matter of overwriting your old theme files.
Also, yesterday was a record-breaking day of traffic, with over 2,000 unique visitors laying eyes on this blog, which is even more visits than I received when ColdBlue was mentioned on Smashing Magazine and WP Designer.
I'm currently working on (amongst a mountain of other work) a brand new design for this blog, which is looking pretty cool so far. Once this is released, I'll be wrapping up the current design as a free, publicly available theme.
More posts to come. Peace.
Upgraded to WordPress 2.2.2. Seems to have solved the problem… Weird uh?
Cool. Do you have it in just HTML as I would like to use it in my cms.

Viral video shows skater jumping over officer
MESA, Ariz. (KSAZ) - A viral video posted to social media shows a Mesa Police officer spending some time at a local skate park who became the center of a very cool trick.
The video has received over 318,000 views and almost 3,000 shares. The teen Roman Mora has tried for a year to convince Mesa Sergeant James Hermes to let him do the trick. They came to an agreement, and now both men are getting more attention than they would ever imagine.
"He was like no, I want to see how high you can go first, and I told him I couldn't say that it had to be with someone standing there so I could go straight over them," said Roman Mora.
Sgt. Hermes agreed and watched every skater, scooter, and ball player rush over in the park to watch.
"I kind of did a little duck because I saw it coming like awe it's going to be bad, but he made it and at the last minute I kind of looked out of the corner of my eye and saw he probably cleared me by a foot and a half," said Sgt. Hermes.
The impressive trick posted on the Mesa Police Facebook page immediately went viral.
"All I see is 20,000 views, and then it went higher up to 40,000, and then 100,000 and I was just happy," said Mora.
"It's about just showing the kids you know we're not just out running amok trying to arrest everybody, but we're also people and want to have a good time as well," said Hermes.
Now everyone wants Roman to jump over them.
Roman also asked Sgt. Hermes if he could jump over his police car, and the Sergeant politely declined. Another officer who is almost 7 feet tall also passed on the stunt.

key healthcare infrastructure projects in Galway have been included in the Government's new €2 billion HSE capital spending plan
Thursday, 5th September 2019
Press statement by Hildegarde Naughton TD
Fine Gael, Galway West and South Mayo
A number of key healthcare infrastructure projects in Galway have been included in the Government's new €2 billion HSE capital spending plan, which will see them progress under the three-year strategy.
The projects include a new elective hospital at Merlin Park, a new emergency department at University Hospital Galway (UHG), a new ambulance base in Galway city, and the development of a blood science laboratory.
The inclusion of a large number of new and upgraded healthcare facilities for Galway was welcomed by local Fine Gael TD Hildegarde Naughton, who was a member of the Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Healthcare.
Investment in healthcare has been a central tenet of Deputy Naughton's work since her election to the Dáil in 2016, and she has led the campaign for the development of a new hospital at Merlin Park.
"Having been part of the committee that developed Sláintecare, our first long-term strategy for the transformation of our health service, I am acutely aware of the legacy deficits in healthcare infrastructure that exist both locally and nationally," she said.
"I am grateful that Minister Simon Harris has taken account of the issues I've raised in this regard, and many of those deficits will be addressed under the new capital spending plan."
Merlin Park has been earmarked as a location for one of three new elective hospitals nationwide, which are aimed at reducing waiting times and overcrowding. A new modular theatre at the site will be prioritised under the new plan.
Funding has also been allocated for the refurbishment of the 60-bed community nursing unit at Merlin Park. Galway's two existing cardiac cath labs will be replaced, and a third will be developed.
The long-awaited new emergency department at UHG will be progressed under the €2 billion spending plan, while a new maternity unit and paediatric unit will be developed over the new ED.
Building work will commence on a radiation oncology project at GUH – one of three such projects nationwide. The mortuary at UHG will undergo major refurbishment works, while new a new IT room and water systems have also been approved at the hospitaal.
Deputy Naughton said that the approval of a large number of local projects in the spending plan was the culmination of much work with hospital management, clinicians, the department, and Minister Simon Harris.
"This is an area of utmost priority for me, and I am pleased that progress is continuing to improve our local health service and ensure that we have facilities in place to meet the needs of both current and future generations," she stated.
"I am particularly pleased that UHG is no longer the sole focus of infrastructural investment in Galway, and there is now a realisation that Merlin Park must be developed in order to relieve and improve our hospital services.
"We are beginning to see the development of more healthcare facilities at that location, and this will pay dividends for patients in both Merlin Park and UHG," explained the Fine Gael TD.

Jared Leto to return to Joker role in Snyder Cut of 'Justice League'

Watch: Trailer for Zack Snyder's Justice League
Jared Leto will return to the role of the Joker for an appearance in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
The star will reprise his Suicide Squad character to take part in the 'Snyder Cut' of the 2017 superhero team-up, which is currently shooting extra footage ahead of its HBO Max release next year.

The actor did not appear in the theatrically released version of Justice League, which was completed by Joss Whedon after Snyder stepped down due to personal reasons.
He will become the first performer to play the Joker in more than one movie.

Leto's involvement was revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, which said stars including Ben Affleck, Amber Heard and Ray Fisher are also taking part in the new round of filming.
Fisher is taking part despite his ongoing dispute with Warner Bros over the conduct of Joss Whedon and studio execs on the set of the Justice League reshoots in 2017.

The highly anticipated 'Snyder Cut' will take the form of a four-part miniseries on HBO Max, with the director confirming that territories where the service is unavailable — including the UK — will be able to see the four-hour extravaganza in some form.
Warner Bros revealed they've earmarked between $20m (£15m) and $30m (£23m) for the additional photography, though some reports speculate it may be much more.

Fans have been clamouring for the release of Snyder's vision ever since the released film proved to be a critical and commercial disappointment.
The #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign on social media picked up steam over many years, before it was finally announced that the director's take would see the light of day.
Read more: David Ayer confirms Joker tattoo fan theory
Leto, meanwhile, has been at the centre of a campaign for David Ayer to get the chance to complete his version of Suicide Squad, with the director hinting many Joker scenes were left on the cutting room floor.
Social media has been somewhat divided by the news of Leto's return, with fans split right down the middle.
This is why DC movies can't compare to Marvel movies. Leto was the worst joker ever. How about a new villain? Or is that another DC shortcoming?
— Dutch Skeletore (@DanLaw8) October 21, 2020
both Ben Affleck and Jared Leto are currently filming additional scenes for ZSJL... I think it's pretty much a given that we're going to see these two interact in some way.
I have no words... we've wanted this for so long and it actually looks like it'll happen now 😭 pic.twitter.com/eORgz9e7YL

As a massive Joker fan, Leto for me is the worst one. 😕 https://t.co/TVIxujzHOR
— Chris 🎮 (@MrGamerChris) October 22, 2020
Is this whole desperately want the Snyder Justice League cut released an internet joke that got out of hand? I thought it was genuine, but now they're pretending genuine enthusiasm about the return of Leto's Joker? That can't be real, can it?
— Edward to a T (@DTabacman) October 21, 2020
Leto was reportedly "distraught" when he heard that Joaquin Phoenix was set to play the Clown Prince of Crime in Joker —and he was likely especially miffed when the star won an Oscar for the performance.
The 48-year-old will now get another chance to refine his unique take on Batman's most iconic foe.
Read more: Why Joker does not appear in Birds of Prey
Meanwhile, Leto has also joined Sony's universe of movies adjacent to Spider-Man, playing the titular vampire in Morbius.
The film, which exists in the same world as Venom, was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic and is now scheduled to be released in March 2021.

Phil Spector, Revolutionary Music Producer and Convicted Murderer, Dies at 81
Phil Spector, the eccentric music producer whose "Wall of Sound" recording method transformed the industry and was later convicted of murder, died of natural causes Saturday, California state prison officials said. He was 81. Spector was pronounced dead at 6:35 p.m. on Saturday, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement. The medical examiner for the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office will announce the official cause of death at a later date. Spector was sentenced in 2009 to 19 years to life after being convicted for the 2003 murder of actress Lana Clarkson. She was found dead in Spector's home with a gunshot wound through the roof of her mouth. He maintained her death was an "accidental suicide." He served the last few years of his sentence in a prison hospital east of Stockton, California. Also Read: Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2021 (Photos) The Bronx-born Spector began his career in music as a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, penning the No. 1 single "To Know Him Is to Love Him" with the pop band the Teddy Bears in 1958. Two years later, at the age of 21, he cofounded Phillies Records, making him the youngest owner of a record label in history at the time. In the decade that followed, he wrote or produced records for some of the biggest names in music, including the Ronettes, the Crystals, and Ike & Tina Turner. After briefly retiring from the music industry in 1966, he returned three years later for what became a milestone in his career — producing the Beatles' album "Let It Be," as well as solo records by John Lennon and George Harrison. Within a few years, he produced 18 Top 10 singles for various artists, including, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" (for the Righteous Brothers), "The Long and Winding Road" (for the Beatles) and "My Sweet Lord" (for Harrison). A near-fatal accident in 1974 in which he was thrown through the windshield of his car left Spector with over 300 stitches to his face and more than 400 to the back of his head. He slowly began to withdraw from public life and it was the start of what became his trademark look of wearing bizarre wigs. Also Read: Philip Smith, Former CEO of Broadway's Shubert Organization, Dies at 89 of COVID His reemergence in 1977 with the Leonard Cohen album "Death of a Ladies' Man" (which Spector produced and co-wrote) drew criticism and controversy because of the dramatic change of style and sound to what Cohen fans were used to. He received a similar reaction to his producing of the Ramones' album "End of the Century." It was during this time that Spector began to show signs of strange behavior, with Dee Dee Ramone claiming he once pulled a gun on her when she tried to leave a session. In the two decades that followed, Spector largely remained inactive, only emerging a few times, including to co-produce Yoko Ono's "Season on Glass" shortly after Lennon's death. In 1989, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1997.
