OLD Bear here is a little confused (not unusual for a "junior-senior" ursine - pet the nice old bear and be sure he doesn't have his shirt/pants on inside-out ). I just LOVE our Annual Conferences and I KNOW that my own Florida LEGAL is sponsoring it this year in at Disney World Park in Orlando (Bear puts on his Mickey ears.) (BTW, I live in California but I'm an enthusiastic member of Florida LEGAL coz it is simply a marvelous group of LGBT LEO an CJ professionals!) So, for those who maybe don't know to go to the Florida LEGAL website for information, who do I have to take cookie privileges away from to get the www.LEGALInternational.org website updated? It is still showing last year's Las Vegas information. I want the upcoming 16th Annual Conference to be a sellout!... and that means getting the word out on LEGAL International's site too!

We're putting the final touches on the cover for the official conference book for the 16th annual International Conference of LGBT Criminal Justice Professionals. (Actually, it was ready this morning but my hubby decided he hated the cover photo and wanted to change it.) Anyway, as soon as the new design is ready, I'll post the cover here on Blue pride. As you guys know, Blue Pride members are always the first people to get a sneak peek at the annual cover. The new photo really shows off the stunning pool area of the host hotel, THE HILTON WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT.

With Carroll's (prydeguys) involvement, you can be assured that it is going to kick Major butt. Take that to the bank.

It is true that my dear friend Carroll is a miracle worker when it comes to getting things done. He did practically everything, indeed having to kick major butt for last year's Conference in Vegas. But, the dear man is tired and has done a thousand times his share for decades to support LGBT LEO / CJ causes and events. So, here we are just over 90 days before the NEXT Conference, this one sponsored by Florida LEGAL. So, what do we see on the www.LegalInternational.org website as of right NOW? ... the same tired, expired old information about LAST YEAR'S Conference. I think it was about three months ago I posted, inquiring about getting the International site updated. The International site is NOT Carroll's responsibility. I just hurt for Carroll having to battle against appalling apathy. My own Florida LEGAL LEO/CJ men and women may be excited but it's hard when the main organization apparently doesn't care. Damn... I just hate having to post this kind of message. But, Carroll and my hard-working Florida LEGAL friends are important to me and deserve better support. Just my opinion from one unhappy Bear _________________________

OK Guys, here's the breakdown for the Orlando conference workshops. Some workships may still be added....
Internet Crimes Against Children Crime Scene Investigations Eight Rules Of Leadership Special Events planning Coming Out On The Job Drugs That Impair Officer Involved Domestic Violence Wills, Trusts, and Legal Considerations Human Trafficking Games Criminals Play Transgender Issues In Law Enforcement Female inmates/prisoners Behind The Walls Treatment Issues Specific To Jails Imperfect Justice-prosecuting Casey Anthony Accessory To Murder-Complicity In The Death Of Ryan Skipper Law Enforcemen officers Killed or Assaulted The Dynamics of Police Funerals
Sociall events are still under construction. The conference runs in conjunction with Disney Gay Days so we will have lots going on. The conference hotel is actually located INSIDE Walt Disney World and it's drop dead beautiful. Brochurers have already been sent out to all chapters. Any bluepride member that needs one, just let me know and I'll mail you one. Further conference info, including registrations forms, are available through the Florida Legal website Fla-legal.com
Bear, I don't know why the Legal International Website has not yet been updated but I am going to look into it. (If I talk real nice to you, will you do our invocation and benediction?)

Bear, I agree that Carroll is and always has been a major force behind most of the conferences. Charles and Michael from Florida LEGAL are also hard workers. But it always seems to fall to Carroll to light the fires under people to get things done correctly and in a timely manner. It's not fair to him. Although he thrives in doing this kind of work, it's not all up to him to do the lion's share of things. As far as the LEGAL International website......all I can say is....."Again?, Really?". I think, to be polite, I'll leave it at that.

YES, in addition to my dear friend Carroll, I agree that Michael and Charles... soooo many of the members of Florida LEGAL bust their okoles working for the group! And, there's our own HCSODale (what a HUNK!... extra cookies for that man!) And there's Veronica... what an amazing and inspirational woman! Hell, I'm a member of Florida LEGAL just because of the wonderful, professional, great group of men and women in blue members... and I live in California! (Sigh,) so, yeah, I have to join Tommy in a huge eyeroll about the total failure of support from Legal International... AGAIN. Bear _________________-

Bear, I don't know why the Legal International Website has not yet been updated but I am going to look into it. (If I talk real nice to you, will you do our invocation and benediction?) Carroll, dear man... You are wonderful to ask me to do the Invocation and Benediction. This would be the third time (two Conferences and the ten-year Florida LEGAL celebration.) In Vegas, I was overwhelmed with the positive response I received from the husband of one of the workshop presenters who came to me and said, "Over the decades in my work, i've heard maybe thousands of Invocations and Benedictions. As a Jewish man, never have I felt so included by such an appropriately and sensitively crafted and genuinely sincere message. Thank you, sir." Whew... I had to swallow hard to remain composed. You may recall that I paid the Orlando Conference fee for 2012 even months before the last Conference in Vegas. I LOVE the Conferences! Alas, I've discovered the Conference dates coincide with the final week of the final course in my masters curriculum. I will have the standard five research papers due that week as I do EVERY week in the program. The following Sunday, I will have the Term Paper due. AND, because of an unfortunate misunderstanding on my part, the next week I will have a first draft of the outline for my Dissertation due. AND, if I am to be able to start the following Spring, I will have to submit my then-updated Curriculum Vitae to the University of Bath, U.K., for admission to the PhD program. Bottom line... you and I are about the same age. I NEED some of your energy or 48-hour days, if I am to get to Orlando. At this moment, it is about 7:30 PM. I have a research paper to finish and submit by midnight. I need a cookie (sigh.) I don't think I'm going to make it to Orlando, dear Carroll, and I feel horrible about it.

Yeah, well, this masters degree is my third one. One would think sooner or later I could do this dance a little faster (sigh!) Once finished, do I really have the stamina for a PhD? BTW... I LOVE TORONTO! (Bear wags his tail wildly!) And, (GASP!) AMSTERDAM? I'm gonna start doubling up on my vitamins NOW! Isn't San Francisco after Toronto? What year is Amsterdam? By then, are we both gonna be on the National Historic Register? Just think... Carroll and Bear: Fine chocolate and fine fur. OOOPS... did I say that? Oso Polar
