Okay, I understand your point, but I find it.... outlandish? I think that is the word.
Here is what I am getting from your argument. When defining the entity's worth based on ability to "feel" things (or being sentient), then you are correct. The fetus is like a plant, you killed it, but that death does not matter because it isn't like the fetus felt anything or had the thought "oh, I wish to not die".
The point I am trying to make is that even thought that fetus shares the same sentient status as a plant, it does not make it a plant (or worth the same). That fetus is still the mother's child (and thus her responsibility) and is a human-being. In the most technical definition, once the sperm and egg combine their genetic material it forms a human. That fact (by it-self) should guarantee it protection from being killed (with the exceptions previously discussed). What-ever it can or can not feel is pointless. It is not a tree; it is like a tree, but not a tree. It is a human and gets human rights.
Is any of that clear, or have I again missed your point?
@ Zach - I underlined the part in your post where you said something that lost me. I don't consider a plant to have any sentient status at all, ever. Maybe the problem we are having is our understanding of the word "sentient". I know I said earlier that to me, the word sentient means something that can feel, perceive, or have consciousness. I do not consider a plant to have any of those qualities.
If you're typing in a different text editor, you should use the insert plain text feature in the WYSIWYG editor. Just click the icon with white rectangle witha 'T' in it and paste your text into the dialogue box, then hit the 'OK' button. That way it will remove the colour formatting and won't show up black on dark grey for us.
Wait, why are my text white here, but black every-where else?
It has to do with the coded formatting of your text. These days, if you copy and paste text, you often grab the formatting of the copied text as well. When you paste, you just see the words that you copied, but the website also sees associated formatting code such as:
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">
Just for reference, "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get) is a generic term, not a specific editor. The default text mode on think atheist is WYSIWYG
@ Zach - I will tell you how I did it and maybe it will work for you too. Type your post as you normally do. When you are finished, copy it. Then click on the "T" in the box on the top bar of the post, then a white box will appear. Paste your post into that white box. Then click on "OK" on the bottom of that that white box.
I'm sure there is an easier way but that is the only way I know how to do it.
@ Zach - As Kris said in his post "A zygote is not a human. It is not an individual. It is not a person."
I re-read your post and now I am assuming you disagree with that statement. In other words, I am assuming you think the a zygote is a human.
Let us examine a hypothetical scenario. Imagine there is a woman who is planning to only have one child in her life time. This woman accidentally becomes pregnant before she is ready to have her one planned child. She decides to terminate the zygote since it is an unplanned pregnancy.
If you feel it is wrong for this mother to decide to terminate the zygote, have you considered that if the mother changed her mind and decided not to terminate this zygote, this would shut the door for the opportunity for the other future planned, as of yet unconceived baby, to come into existence in the future?
In other words, if she does not terminate the unplanned zygote, her decision then causes the window of opportunity for the future planned child to come into existence, to be closed.
So in a way, if she decides to allow the unplanned zygote to develop and be born, she is deciding not to allow a future planned baby to come into existence. So she still ends up making a decision that will stop a future potential baby from coming into existence.
Do you agree she has the right to make the decision to not allow a future potential planned baby to not come into existence, by using birth control pills, for example?
As I said before, I am just trying to get a feel for where you draw you lines and what your definitions of certain terms are.
I am just trying to get a feel for where you draw you lines and what your definitions of certain terms are.
I still haven't quite grasped this either. I'm trying to imagine how it would even be possible to give a zygote all human rights. Does it get a name? A birth certificate? Can it you claim it on your taxes? Should women using birth control be subject to the same penalties as women who murder their infants?
Zach is definitely the first non-theist I've ever heard of who equated birth control with murder. I'm still shocked by this opinion. It makes no logical sense and try as I may, I can't seem to wrap my brain around it.
The zygote is genetically human, and humans get rights that protect them from murder.
It's a bad argument. My finger is genetically human. My finger alone does not have human rights. It's not murder if I cut it off and it dies. I, as an individual human being, have rights. A zygote cannot exist as an independent human being. Rights are broken up this way in reality. It's grossly impractical to do otherwise.
The only point 'sentience' is relevant to is reduction in pain. Whether death happens to a sentient being or a non-sentient one is not relevant and is a point that is simply used by pro-lifers to diminish the point that as long as that living entity is not independent from its progenitor, it is not an independent life form and is therefore not addressed by any law.
The zygote is genetically human, and humans get rights that protect them from murder.
So, if the genetic make up is the strongest part of your argument (presuming), what then do we do with the fact that most of the DNA within the human body is not actually human? After-all, you have 10 times more bacteria cells in your body than you do human cells.
And the idea that "potential" life is on par with life or personhood is bizarre to me. The logical conclusion to that is that each time we refrain from a chance at procreation, we are destroying a person's life. This is a very Catholic way of thinking and lends itself to no barrier that I can see from pushing the decree back beyond conception to condemn other contraceptive aids such as condoms. It relegates women to becoming baby factories and deprives them of their reproductive rights. Also, won't somebody think of all the poor baby-daddies?
In other words, if she does not terminate the unplanned zygote, her decision then causes the window of opportunity for the future planned child to come into existence, to be closed.
And if I would have sexed up the wife instead of wanking to midget porn, then maybe some alternate reality would exist. It is as immaterial as it is ass backwards. Trying to conjure "what-ifs" to life is counter productive. Trust me, I've wasted a lot of time wondering "what if I had dated out that beautiful brunette that used to have a huge crush on me back in high school" to no avail. Damn, if only...
We are animals that have evolved over billions of years. Our lineage persists because, among many things, of our ability to procreate. Our existence is owed to that remarkable potential for replication. It is not a sacred gift from a god but a natural fact about biology. The idea that a zygote is endowed with all the qualities of a fully formed human being and deserves rights that either compete or supersede actually formed human beings is absurd. A person must become a person before they get those rights. And the kicker is that there is no person until there is a person. There is no "on deck" circle where people souls are waiting their turn to bat and abortion robs them of their turn by ending the inning. If that were the case, I'd probably weep for millions every time I pumped off into a sock.

@ Reggie - LOL! But ewwwww!
It is fine to not allow unconcieved zygotes from coming into existence.
@ Zach - There is no such thing as an unconceived zygote, as far as I know. Did you mean it is fine to not allow a zygote to come into existence?
You can stop future babies from forming (like using protection) because they do not exist and do not get the rights that already existing ones get. I find this argument completely outrageous
I'd like you to expound on this point some more. What about the idea of not granting rights to non-existent people do you find outrageous? If I've misunderstood, then please forgive me. If you've already explained it, help me find it or sum it up for me. There are a lot of pages to this discussion now.

Reader Redesign: Jesse's Son's New Space
Psst- We usually only post once on Friday, but Sherry will be back with a random little "bonus post" for ya in a few hours.
We always get requests for cool kid rooms, and since we have a girl bean, and shared her recent big-girl-room evolution, we thought it would be fun to share the sweet big boy room that Jesse whipped up for her son. Here's her letter: Hi Sherry & John! My little boy is officially now a "big boy" (hold on while I wipe a tear…).
So I redid his room according to his "wish list" which included: lots and lots of colors (I mean color galore), a place for all his toys and books (not as simple as it sounds), a place to color/paint/draw, some sort of deer head (seriously…welcome to Missouri). Quite the list, huh?!
And here's how it looks now.
I've never been happier than to cross his room off my to do list. We – me and my husband Sam Sam the "fill in the blank" man (my go to's filler-inners are usually weather, handy, laundry, fisher, btw, in case you were wondering) have done a lot to this room and are so happy with the end result.
There were some big projects like making the orb light fixture (which only cost us $21), wallpapering, and painting my Craigslist finds for the room, along with a lot of little things like extending the three-inches-too-short curtains with a bedskirt that I found at Goodwill, sewing pillows, and organizing an almost five year old's huge array of toys and books. We also added some plug in sconces to the bookshelves so if Henry wanted to read books in bed, he could. They came from Lowe's and were less than $30.
More importantly, Henry is loving his room which makes us happy happy. I did the whole reveal post so all the details can be seen there, too, if you want to check it out! – Jesse
There are so many things that Sherry and I like about this room. We both called the wallpaper and the orange bed as our favorites. Although the deer head (Henry got his wish!) is also up there, especially since it's made by Virginia-based Cardboard Safari. As Jesse said, you can check out her reveal post for more details and photos. Thanks for sharing it with us, Jesse!

Restoring Wood Finish & Hiding The Cable Box With A Remote
When we last left off with our little media cabinet we had cleaned all of the grime off (with a Magic Eraser of all things) as well as removing the musty smell from the drawers with vinegar, but we mentioned that we still wanted to hide the cable box in one of the drawers somehow, and also had to seal the wood with something to lock in the color and shine. Well, we finally got 'er done thanks to some technology and some good old fashioned elbow grease. So here's how we went about getting that cable box off the ground.
We drilled a bunch of large holes in the back of the top middle drawer (and the back of the unit) with a large drill bit (it was a 1 3/4″ bit). Sorry about the bad lighting here, we needed a flashlight shining into the drawer to illuminate things, and it photographed really oddly.
Here's an idea of how it looked when we had finished one side of Project Ventilation. Not to be confused with Project Runway, which is a lot more exciting, and usually involves at least seven kids from my Alma Mater (FIT – represent!). Anyway, so we did the same thing on the left side of the back of the piece (made four more holes) and then made the same type of holes in the back of the drawer itself (which was also open on the top, so any heat could easily escape).
Then we just hooked up the box, slid it into the drawer, and shut it. It's nice that we can pull it out (if we ever want to access it) but we don't have to keep the drawer open whenever it's in use in order for the cable box to get a signal. Why don't we? Why, because we got an IR extender. And it's dreamy.
Wait, you can't see it? Allow me to point it out. See this little black dome that's about an inch wide?
Well, that's an IR extender. We got it from Amazon (here's the one we bought) and for $15.99, with tons of great reviews, it's a deal that saved us from having to ditch/hack up/attempt to hinge a drawer front. The way it works is that you place the small round receiver (the black dome-looking thing) somewhere discreet on the front of your TV, and that picks up the signal whenever you use your remote from the couch. Then you just plug it into your cable box (there's a wire that snakes around back).
In a word: it's genius. It has been just as reliable as pointing the remote at the cable box itself, and thanks to ventilating that drawer we haven't had any overheating issues (even if we leave the drawer closed for a week and then open it, it's not steamy in there).
But now onto what we did to restore some color and shine to the media cabinet itself. Because it looks pretty good in the two photos above – but those were taken after we put a little effort into it. So let's go back in time for a second. Since it had already been scrubbed down and de-grimed we needed to work on restoring some luster and sealing it all in for long-lasting protection. Step 1: pull out the drawers and roll back the rug.
Step 2: Bring those drawers into the sunroom (where I had more space to tackle them) and grab some Restor A Finish and Howard Feed-N-Wax (we found it at Home Depot) since I've pretty much heard only the most amazing things about both products, especially when they're used in cahoots.
Here's how the drawers were looking before any luster-restoration or sealing. See how the wood looked a little dry and had small dings and scratches in the finish?
Step 3: Rub Restore-A-Finish onto each drawer as well as the frame of the cabinet with a rag according to the directions on the back (which are pretty much "rub it on and wait 30 minutes"). Look at the difference! In person, it was like seeing a crusty old foot in one of those lotion ads that gets some much-needed cream and transforms into a gorgeous and smooth beach-ready model-foot. Seriously, our drawers went from crusty to modelesque.
After the Restore-A-Finish application, there were still a few more heavy duty chips that weren't quite solved (it was great for the small dings and scratches as well as moisturizing all of the wood though).
So that brings us to step 4: raid Clara's art drawer. Ah yes, a brown magic marker will do.
Step 5: rub the brown magic marker into those bigger chips and immediately blend with your finger. Might as well rename it Chip-Be-Gone. Or at least Chip-Be-Way-Less-Obvious.
Then after the wait time on the can of Restore-A-Finish (30 mins) it was time to move on to our little bottle of Howard Feed-N-Wax to seal everything in. I was fresh out of clean rags, so I used an old white sock. Worked like a charm.
Step 6: Apply the wax to the wood drawers and frame of the cabinet, let it sit and soak in for 30 minutes, and then buff away any remaining wax with another clean rag (or sock in my case).
"Bling bling. Everytime I come into the sunroom bling bling." That's what I was singing with these flossy & glossy babies in front of me. Just call me Lil Wayne.
Once I slid the drawers back into place, our media cabinet was all "Can't nobody take my pride. Can't nobody hold me down. Oh no. I got to show those movies" a la Puff & Mace.
It was like a bonafide hip-hop throwback concert at my house. With slightly altered home-related lyrics.
Ok, I'm satisfied with the amount of hip-hop references that I worked into this post. Although I gotta say, it would make my life to someday drop this little ditty: "I'm sorry momma. I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleaning out my armoire."
And now, let's take a moment to appreciate how far this baby has come. Best $59 we ever spent. And the crazy part to us is that this cabinet sat at the thrift store long enough to get marked down by $20 (which means it was probably there for at least a month). Nobody saw the beauty.
Also, on the subject of hip hop, dude why isn't the magical pairing of Adam Levine, 50 Cent, and Eminem getting more radio play (warning, this isn't the clean version, it's the official video)? I first heard it last fall but it's still not on the radio. What the heck, DJs of America? Help a sister out.
What are you guys up to when it comes to furniture upgrades. Any wax-on-wax-off-ing going on? Any other RF remote (or IR extender) lovers out there? It's a pretty sweet piece of machinery, I gotta say.

News Details
Pirelli to supply F1 until 2016
It's been a bit late in coming but Pirelli and the FIA have agreed to terms to an extension of their sole-supplier contract through 2016. This means that Pirelli will be the tire supplier and continue in its development for Formula 1.
It's an interesting announcement as there were some political hurdles to jump. Mainly, Pirelli have publicly stated that they have had agreements with the teams individually to supply them with tires moving forward. The FIA had a few public quips that seemed as if they were slightly miffed that they were left out of the process.
To that point, you'll recall, the FIA even hinted at a possible new tender offering to seek a tire supplier contract leaving...

Top Performers
Oregon: A. Kazemi 12 Pts, 12 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk
UCLA: L. Drew II 14 Pts, 6 Ast, 2 Stl
UCLA is playing for a Pac-12 tournament title in large part because of Jordan Adams' heroics.
He won't be able to help the Bruins any more, and Oregon is looking to take advantage.Top-seeded and No. 21 UCLA will try to regroup Saturday night after Adams' season-ending injury when it looks to snap a three-game slide to the third-seeded Ducks and claim its fourth Pac-12 tournament crown.The Bruins (25-8) are in their first conference final since beating Stanford in 2008, and Adams is a big reason.The freshman guard scored 17 of his 24 points in the final 9:57 to help erase an 11-point deficit and lead UCLA to a 66-64 win over Arizona on Friday. But Adams limped off the floor after the Wildcats' final shot, and X-rays showed a broken fifth metatarsal, ending his season."The very last play of the game when they were shooting, somehow he came down and tweaked his foot," coach Ben Howland said of Adams, who averages 15.3 points.The onus will be on Shabazz Muhammad to step up even more after Adams' injury, and he struggled Friday, finishing with 11 points on 4 for 11 shooting after scoring 16 points with nine rebounds Thursday. Both totals were below his season average of 17.9 points, and Howland feels he's become a target for defenses.The Bruins are 12-1 when Muhammad tops the 20-point mark and 10-7 in games he's played and scored 19 or fewer."Everybody's dialed in on Shabazz. God bless him," Howland said. "He's seeing the team's best defender night in and night out, and they're really coming after him."Muhammad struggled against then-No. 21 Oregon (25-8) on Jan. 19, going 4 for 9 from the floor to finish with 10 points in a 76-67 loss. He played 28 minutes but didn't start as punishment for being late to a practice.Adams wasn't much help, either, hitting all seven free throws but missing all six attempts from the field, including four from long range.Travis Wear, however, has scored 17 points in each of his two career meetings with the Ducks, combining to hit 15 of 23 from the floor. The junior forward has 26 points so far in Las Vegas.He may need to have another productive game Saturday if UCLA intends to match Arizona's record of four Pac-12 tournament championships.The Ducks are seeking their third title and first since beating Southern California in 2007."We know we're going to have our hands full," coach Dana Altman said.That wasn't the case in Friday's semifinal as Oregon cruised to a 64-45 win over Utah after needing overtime the night before to hold off sixth-seeded Washington 80-77."We know that when we play as a team, when we show passion, have fun, it just showed how good we can be," forward E.J. Singler said. "That's going to take the same thing (Saturday). We've got to show a lot of passion, play together, have fun, and good things will happen for us. If we do that, I feel really good about our chances."Another strong performance from Singler would help. The senior is averaging 17.0 points while making 56.3 percent from the field -- 7 of 11 from behind the arc -- over the past three games.He wasn't very effective in the most recent meeting with the Bruins, mustering nine points after totaling 50 over the previous two. Center Tony Woods led the way in that January meeting with 18 points.Freshman Damyean Dotson missed 9 of 11 shots in that game against UCLA, but he's picked up his play after a rough end to the regular season, totaling 31 points in his first two Pac-12 tournament games.SPONSORED HEADLINES

Stumbling through parenthood with Nicki Britton and Andrew Dansby
Dog training and other pointless practice
I suspect this is her way of trying to convince us she's capable of caring for a dog. Though she's a little rough with the leash. I'm not sure if "Puppy, don't step on the lines," is a common dog training command, but it does suggest she's hardwired with some of my superstition/paranoia.

ASHLAND, Ore. – ScienceWorks in Ashland has plans to open its new Da Vinci's Garage this Saturday at the annual TinkerFest event.
The local museum coordinators said the hands-on event fuses art and technology to promote creativity and imaginative learning. Some of the featured experiments are a Lego building contest, a full car take-apart, and "scribble-bots" that create chalk art. The ScienceWorks Executive Director, Chip Lindsey, explained that the process of "tinkering" is important because it makes kids work through all the options they can to problem-solve.
"We're looking at how we can challenge people to think more deeply to be resilient. And then we listen for laughter, because like in a great science lab, when you hear laughter it's because it's something you didn't expect," Lindsey said.
You must pre-register for the workshops. Find the registration form here.
TinkerFest 2014
May 24 & 25, 2014
When: 10 A.M. – 5 P.M.
Where: ScienceWorks Museum
1500 E Main St. Ashland
Cost: $10 per person age 2 and up
Grand Opening of Da Vinci's Garage: Saturday at 11 A.M.

Tricare- is it good , bad, or both?

Tricare is taking back payments they made on accounts past...
Tricare is really a grimy company for soldiers and vets,tricare is actually pulling back payments they already made for one of my children while i was in the army,stating that im not my child legal guardian even after i presented them with the legal documents they asked for,now hospitals are putting these bills in collection,yes my kids had another insurance which is through medicare since their mom is on welfare,but this insurance are stating these bill are to old and is not paying them,this is a criminal act and i need someone to give me some advice on how to go about getting justice!!!

Mrs. G and . . .
. . . I both depend on Tricare for a lot of out medical needs. She uses it exclusively. At least I have my work-related health care.
Nicely done.

Re: As+a+retiree+...
I truly understand what you are saying, my parents go through the same crap with Tricare. Would be nice to see them give retirees another insurance provider, or better yet, take better care of them. I am sorry you all have such a bad time with me as retirees, I know when my husband retires I will have to face the same challenges. Jenn

As a retiree ...
my encounters with Tricare have been uniformly (no pun intended) baaaaddd! Under Tricare Standard, I ended up paying almost two-thirds of the cost of a knee injury, because Tricare refused many of the services (like x-rays!) as "unnecessary" and refused to pay them. Of the ones they covered, the "full reimbursement" amount was about 50 percent of what local doctors charge for services.
Under Tricare Prime I had only 2 choices for a primary care doctor, because no other doctors in our area would sign on to the program. Referrals for standard lab tests were nightmares of paperwork and incompetent handling by the HMO (Of the top 50 service providers in the USA, they were ranked 50th in a Newsweek poll.) Then my doctor quit the program, leaving me with only one choice for primary care: the local quack! I quit Tricare Prime and went back to Standard with a supplement (from TROA).
The irony is- I can't get service in a military hospital except in an emergency (retirees are low priority), or in a VA hospital (ditto), but veterans who are not retirees are served by VA. Go figure. Retired veterans, unless they have service-related injuries, are just on their own.

Re: In+years+past....
I have to agree with you. My father spent 27 years in the Navy and is on Tricare as well, he is in his early 60's and they treat him like pure crap. It is a shame that they do this to those who do, have , and continue to keep our country free. Thanks for reading, Jenn

In years past....
Claims processing through Tricare was HORRIBLE.
Both my father (military retiree) and mom were covered under Tricare. When my dad got really sick and had to be hospitalized (intensive care) and claims got up over $20,000... Tricare performed horribly. Doctors and hospitals threatened collection efforts. It took six months to sort the claims, and Tricare ended up paying about 50˘ on every dollar claimed by physicians, hospitals, etc.
The way ex-military personnel are treated under this program is horrible, but choices are very limited until one reaches age 65 and qualifies for medicare.

Great Product.my computer's performance had probably diminished almost 65% since it was brand new and was starting to hold back my workflow,especially when i did internet research.Now its like new again. SNAPPY AND RESPONSIVE! great start up time too
its a great price for the turn around in performance, the only con would probably be that I have to buy it again for my husbands computer, not tranferrable to multiple pc's
Awesome product. Reccomending it to all my friends. definitely 5 star worthy. had to write a review to make sure people know. there are a lot of bad optimization products that i've tried but this one does exactly what you need it to do!

Pretty good interface and easy install, but I was thoroughly impressed with the performance. Start up time decreased, general lag time decreased, and programs work faster and more efficiently, especially internet explorer.
no complaints. very happy with the purchase. a great investment. PC is back up and running just as fast as when i bought it and without too much time or money spent.
a truly 5 star product. I love it. would abso;utely reccomend to anyone who has a pc that has slowed down over months of use and is fed up with waiting for loading and programs having errors, not responding, runtime errors, slow internet browsing and slow start up time etc.
"Slow PC Fighter is a great optimizer! works awesomely!"
Version: Slow-PCfighter 1.1.81
Great Product.My PC has snapped back to life.way less time in between loading webpages,way less time waiting for programs to load,and I can have more programs open at once w/o sacrificing performance or risking the dreaded "program not responding"
Kind of a boring color scheme. LOL. besides that its greaaat!
Easy to install, doesn't bother you when your not using it with stupid notifications, but most importantly, delivers excellent results. you really don't realzie how much time you wait staring at the screen for things to load. With my "new" PC i can check quick internet information sooo much faster and finish those simple tasks without having to sit down and devote a chunk of time. I'm so much more efficient when just browsing the web and when working, doing research, and even word processing! 5 stars. great software. Slow PC Fighter = my savior.
"Excellent!speeds up programs,internet browsing&boot up"
Version: Slow-PCfighter 1.1.81
Very effective I must say. And a great interface. not too complicated and no technical jargon i couldn't understand. Very simple, you basically just let it do its thing, and your PC is lik new again. I love this thing. Its like PC vitamins.
don't have any complaints. its simple, and gets the job done great. works like a charm.
Greatly improved boot up time, programs don't take forever to load, internet browsing is lightning quick like when i first got my PC, and I very rarely get the "program not responding" which before I installed slow pc fighter all the time. What i love most about it (outside the fact that it actually works and is extremely effective) is that its simple. the interface doesn't ask you questions you don't know the answer to and doesn't ask you to do too much. it does the work for you!
"Helped me improve my boot time"
Version: Slow-PCfighter 1.1.81
It removed approx. 600 errors
Nice build in option to deactivate auto start of programs.Cons
No defragmentation feature
I used this product because I wanted to see if it could help me improve my boot time. It did - it removed approx. 600 errors, and I used the build in option to deactivate auto start of programs that I never use. It both improved my boot time and now I've got more memory as well on my laptop.
"Very Solid Product. Very effective. 5 stars"
Version: Slow-PCfighter 1.1.81
Spead up my internet speed as well as start up speed. Also programs aren't not responding anymore and computer is generally more responsive. very good software. Pc is officially optimized!
Price is very good for the results. not many cons to this slow pc fighter.
5 stars! I would absolutely reccomend if you have a laggin PC from general use and life of the product. Makes things a lot snappier and faster in general.
"Computer is slow NO MORE"
Version: Slow-PCfighter 1.1.81
5 stars. This is the best optimization type of program I've used by far. Works great, especially on internet browsing and loading complex pages and programs. No more waiting forever.
The program is great! but now I don't have time to clip my toenails while I wait for my emails to load. My computer is almost too fast for me now. Just like when I noguht it again. I'll report back if I find any glitches.
Great Product. Bottom Line. Great price and great return. A good thing to load on even a new computer to improve the life of your PC. we all know that theres not oodles of money lying around to spend on a brand new computer. This software will definitely delay your PC dieing at least a year from what I can see. Mine is about a year and a half old and after downloading is like new again!

4335 - Music Sound Generator Flash dammit. A 'Brady Bunch'-Style Medley. Ever make fan videos of yourself lip-synching some popular tunes?
If you did, you probably never took it to this level. Pixar employee Nick Pitera has been recording himself singing pop music and Disney songs for years on YouTube. Now he's collected clips from a number of popular Disney songs to create an epic video medley -- 'One Man Disney Movie.' He filmed six versions of himself singing through the medley as six key people -- the heroine, the hero, the sidekick, the villain and two people from the chorus. Then, taking a cue from 'The Brady Bunch,' he split-screened them all together into one video, where each segment not only plays their part, but occasionally interacts with the rest.

Comments about dcshoes Rebound Slim High Shoes:
The shoe itself is very durable and comfy. The toecap have holes so that air can come through. It is made of leather and is very durable. You can run in this shoe comfortably but just get half a size or a whole size bigger than your original show size. The only downside is that it takes a while to get use to but most shoes need time to get use to.

Hello all: I have an older (1980's) vintage COlt SP1 AR-15, and am also waiting on delivery of a new RRA AR. My older Colt has the 20" barrel with (I believe) a 1:12 twist. The new RRA will have a 16" barrel with a 1:9 twist. I am about to start re-loading again after a long hiatus, and started re-evaluating bullet weights. All of my current .223 ammo inventory is 55 grain FMJ, mostly my old re-loads with just under 2,900 FPS muzzle velocity. I have read a few cautions about light weight (55 grain) bullets not working well in rifles with "fast" twist rates of 1:6. What is the collective experience out there with using 55 grain FMJ bullets in AR's with a 1:9 twist. Do these bullets perform well, or do I need to start loading the heavier 62 grain bullets? Thanks in advance, TXnorton

As general rule a faster twist is needed to stabilize a heavy bullet and for no better choice of words the term I have heard used is that a faster twist "over stabilizes" the lighter bullet making it less accurate. That being said I am not sure how one can over stabilize anything. I think you would be happier with your existing 1 in 12 twist and 55 grain bullets, I know I am, unless you plan on long range target shooting. The heavier bullet (longer) will have a better ballistic coefficient over the lighter one but will not go as fast. I suspect that the military changed to the heavier bullet because of sectional density for better penetration and perhaps more humane wounds. I have not read a word to that effect I am just guessing.
55gr work well in a 1:9 twist barrel -- probably plenty accurate, unless you're looking at match grade. (For that matter, I've had good experiences with 62gr SS109 in a 1:9.)
I would like to add one comment about the twist issue that most people don't think of and that is a rifle barrel with a 1 in 12 twist causes a bullet traveling 3000 fps to spin at the incredible speed of 180,000 rpm and a 1 in 9 at 240,000 rpm. If you were to increase that velocity to lets say 3300 fps your 1 in 9 twist is going to be spinning that bullet 10% faster or 264,000 rpm which is in the area that a lead core bullet will come apart due to centrifugal force. My point being that if you were to decide to shoot any bullet that you could drive somewhere in that 3300 fps range with a 1 in 9 twist it will not only not be accurate, and depending if it where a lead core bullet, you could find that the bullet will never reach the target because it vaporized before it ever got there.
55gr bullets do very well in 1/9 twist barrels.
X2, 55 does very well in a 1:9

Kass: Conversing With the Oracle
Here is the link to the interview on CNBC.
I now know why this weekend is called "The Woodstock of Capitalism." The action all day in the lobby of the Omaha Hilton was like being at a rock concert for capitalists.
I not only saw numerous business leaders milling around -- including the Chairmen of numerous large corporations such as Geico, Coca-Cola (KO - Get Report), Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) and others -- but numerous celebrities, too, such as filmmaker George Lucas.
The pals that accompanied me on the trip to Omaha with (Marty, Miles, Steve, Lee, Harvey, etc.) were no slouches in the executive department -- a bunch of masters of the universe in real estate, money management, finance, advertising and hedge funds, in their own right.
I spent most of the rest of the day solidifying my questions for the annual meeting. I did, however, have a number of other media interviews.A Growing Bundle of Nerves
I must admit to having been a bit nervous as the day progressed, but not terribly so. I think I was just so darned excited for Saturday to come. My son Noah -- the author of TheStreet column " Ask Noah" and soon-to-be doctorate candidate at the University of Pennsylvania -- finally arrived at the hotel. (He came with Mikey, Steve and Marty in a separate group that left the New York area midday Friday.) I gave him a big hug and kiss -- I was so happy he was there to participate in the unique experience I was about to face. In the early evening, Mario Gabelli invited me and Noah to a cocktail party and panel discussion for the benefit of Columbia Business School at the Hilton Hotel where I was staying. Among the speakers was my friend/buddy/pal Lee Cooperman, who gave an excellent presentation for the students and alumni of Columbia, as well as Mario's other guests. The meeting was informative and well-attended -- I saw Pershing Square's Bill Ackman and a lot of other hedge-hoggers in the audience. MDC Partners' Miles Nadal, Noah and I then proceeded to the legendary Gorat's Steak House that Warren Buffett favors and always talks about. There we met Lee Cooperman; Mario Gabelli; an acquaintance from David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital organization; Vornado Realty Trust's (VNO - Get Report) Steve Roth; Cohen and Steers' Marty Cohen; my buddy/pal/friend Mikey Salzhaurer; and The New York Times' and "Squawk Box's" Andrew Ross Sorkin.Select the service that is right for you!

Causes of San Diego Motorcycle Accidents
by attorney R. Bomberger
In 2009, 39 people were tragically killed in San Diego County motorcycle accidents, reports the California Highway Patrol. Nationally, motorcycle... more
My diabetic Mother fell in the house on the 2/25. Was admitted to the hospital by her primary doctor 2/26 where he ( primary doctor) ordered a cat scan. It revealed a cancer in her lungs and a brain tumor. He recommended surgery to remove the tumor. 3/1 The tumor is removed . Due to the surgery it resulted in my mother having a stroke on the right side of her body. She was extremely coherent 2 days after surgery. On 3/8 She was transfered to a Rehabilitation home. On 3/9 while visiting her ,my wife noticed that my mothers toe nails where black. informed the RN she told us it was swollen. From 3/11 to 3/14 she was Heavily medicated . 3/19 she was given a biopsy. 3/20 was told her right foot had to be amputated because of gang green to her knee. She originally went in for her legs!
There are numerous complicating factors in medical treatment, but when someone has such a dramatic bad result, it compels you to investigate it further with the assistance of a competent and experienced medical negligence attorney, who will obtain all the records and have them reviewed by a qualified expert. From your fact pattern, it does appear as if this result could and should have been avoided by appropriate care.
Without knowing the exact cause of the gangrene, it is hard to tell you whether you have a case worth investigating. Clearly, you would expect an arterial insufficiency to be noticed prior to toes turning black when a patient is under active medical care.
The problem you will have finding a lawyer is that your mother's advance age, along with her underlying health issues, make it unlikely that her claim is economically viable. There are articles linked at the end of this answer that explain that concept.
While cases against rehabilitation facilities can sometimes be economically viable when standard malpractice cases are not because those cases allow for fee shifting, it is very likely that the gangrene started prior to the admission to the rehabilitation facility, since she arrived there on 3/8 and you discovered "black toes" the day after.
It is rare and admirable that the attending doctor advised you that he dropped the ball by failing to examine the extremities, but depending when those examinations took place, the doctor may have a proximate cause defense to a claim.
I am very sorry your mother, and you, are going through this. First, of course, is to make sure your mother is now being properly treated. Second, you should contact a medical malpractice attorney. Bring your mom's medical records, and ask the attorney to review them and help you determine whether you have a case. I would look for someone who handles not only medical malpractice, but nursing home negligence.
Negligence is a key concept of injury liability, and occurs when someone fails to take a reasonable amount of care to avoid injuring others.

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional's negligence causes injury to a patient. Incorrect actions and inaction can both be forms of negligence.

beautiful........but finish and instructions could be better
I touched-up some areas with craft paint that had not taken the stain, probably because of the glue used in construction. This product is thin hollow wood and the curved pieces which hold the bottles have been bent and glued. Overall it presents nicely, but this is not for someone looking for perfection. The instructions for hanging were a little confusing and I would recommend that someone with experience, a drill, and a level be involved. The screws and anchors were taped to the packaging so I can see how some people thought the hardware was missing. The hardware was for installation into sheetrock, yet the instructions recommended the top screw be mounted into a stud. That would make sense due to the weight of the wine bottles it will hold. The styrofoam in which the product was packaged was not molded but had been cut to fit so it came apart easily making clean up was very time consuming. It is a unique piece for the price and the reciepent was very pleased. Her handyman boyfriend will help her hang it. ATG Stores had the lowest price on the interent.

Information on blocked users in Bahrain
We have been informed that some Bambuser accounts are being censored within Bahrain, as the local government seeks to control the news in the face of demonstrations by protestors in the country. This attempt to disrupt internet communications seems to mirror what we witnessed in Egypt a few weeks back.
One particular user that has been censored is Alaali. You can watch Alaali's Bambuser channel and follow Alaali's latest twitter updates. Here's what's meeting him when trying to view the channel in Bahrain: http://twitpic.com/405osn.
People are still able to broadcast to Bambuser.
We are following the situation in Bahrain closely, and will update this blog post as soon as we see any changes in the blocking of Bambuser in Bahrain. We strongly condemn any government attempts to silence democratic movements.
To follow the latest commentary on breaking middle east news, visit our friends at http://www.mideastyouth.org.
Also for people within Bahrain we recommend you trying out the Tor Project which protects your privacy and which we hope give you full access to all content on Bambuser. Please let us know if it works.
Here is a broadcast on the situation just a while ago
