Tulsa, Oklahoma passes non-discrimination policy!

Posted by Timothy Beauchamp at 6/18/2010 08:09:00 AM

The city council of my hometown, Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed a non-discrimination policy that adds sexual orientation to the other suspect classes already included in the old policy. Yes, Tulsa, the diamond in the buckle of the nation’s bible belt has just proven our nation is ready for change. If Tulsa, Oklahoma decides sexual orientation should be included with other suspect classes, and our society has evolved to be more equal, then what is holding back the Obama Administration regarding ENDA?

TULSA, OK — Before a packed house Thursday night, The Tulsa City Council approved a new employment policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. The policy applies to city employees in every aspect of employment.

The expansion adds sexual orientation to a list of protected classes that already includes race, sex, religion, ancestry, age and disability.

Yes we can, (unless you just don’t want to…).

Ray Boltz: To Be True

Deb’s House Concerts

To Be True

To Be True by Ray Boltz

I have stood on stage in concert halls, looking out at faces, trying to please them all.

The longer I stood there, the more that I knew some people will love you, and some never do.

To be true is all that I want to do. To be true is all I can promise you is to be true.

No hidden agendas, no clever disguise, no fiction or fables, and no alibis.

I will open up this heart filled with passion and pain. All I ask before we start is you do the same.

To be true is all that I want to do. To be true is all I can promise you is to be true.

Chicory Root and Fiber One Bars

Deb’s House Concerts

Too Much of A Good Thing

Fiber One Chocolate Chip bars are delicious, but don’t eat too many. I looked up Chicory Root and found these posts and funny comments. I laughed, because they’re telling the truth.

Creating A Healthy Snack Bar

I was going to try to make some of these bars, because they taste so good. But, I could not locate a store selling Chicory Root as an ingredient. So, I looked it up online to learn more about it, and learned that Chicory Root is the reason these bars make people feel gassy if they eat too many of them. So, I’m just going to try to make a similar yummy bar with honey, chocolate chips, rice crispies, oat meal and a little flour and leave out the gut-wrenching ingredient (Chicory Root! beware!).

The Good Chicory Root Does

It does actually seem that Chicory Root is a good thing, but only in moderation. The claims are that it lowers cholesterol (among other things) and blood sugar. That’s probably because it assists in moving the food right on through so fast it can’t stick around and be absorbed. All things in moderation, I suppose.
