AC Schnitzer has now tuned the M6 Gran Coupe to an impressive 665 HP / 652 LB-FT, up from the factory quoted 560 HP / 500 LB-FT.
No exact details yet on the hardware upgrades used to achieve these power levels and the software has yet to be finalized, but that should be forthcoming, eventually. For now, we get a preview … CONTINUED
A group of Indonesian BMW M customers flew in to Malaysia to participate in BMW M Track Days 2013 at Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia. They got the chance to drive a fleet of BMW M cars (M3, M5, M6, M6 Gran Coupe) lead by BMW Driving Instructors. Most of the cars have BMW Individual special paintwork and upholstery, which looks AMAZING in person!
Six brand new BMW M6 Gran Coupé are picked up by their Canadian owners to take the cars directly on a thrilling tour across Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. The highlight is a BMW Driving Experience at the BMW Driving Academy in Maisach, Germany with BMW M3 and BMW M6 cars.

Have a peek at the first completely uncovered 2014 M6 Gran Coupe, captured by a daring photographer in a BMW factory. It may only be a side view, but there's no doubt this is the M6 Gran Coupe.
Its blue M brakes (a new M signature going forward), sideskirts, and mirrors are all evidence this is the M6 Gran Coupe.
What is also seen for the first time on this car are the production wheels, a completely new BMW wheel design.
The latest outing by the upcoming 2014 M6 Gran Coupe (M6GC) leaves little else to be revealed. Not that there were many surprises to be revealed in the first place, as the M6GC was expected to share bodywork and most everything else with the F13 Coupe and F12 Convertible variants, but this prototype shows the sculpted roof (carbon fiber underneath the camouflage, just like 6 Series Coupe) and a set of carbon ceramic brakes for the first time.
This is also the first M6GC prototype we have … CONTINUED

Octaspring 6500
Octaspring 6500 Mattress
Choose From
The Octaspring Difference
Try an Octaspring mattress in your home for 60
nights and select a FREE Frette luxury bedding set!
The Octaspring 6500
The Octaspring 6500 has all the benefits of our 8000 range with two instead of three layers of Octasprings. It provides remarkable ventilation to keep you cool and fresh all night long, whilst delivering outstanding comfort and cradling support for your body. Encased in a luxurious and innovative designer cover, which is removable and washable, are two layers of Octasprings.
The top layer of the mattress is comprised of 5cm deep visco-elastic memory foam Octasprings arranged to create 3 support zones. This is topped by an additional 4cm thick memory foam layer, giving an overall memory foam depth of 9cm.
The top layer rests on a second layer of medium Octasprings for cushioning support. This layer is 5cm thick.
You will get comfortable quicker, fall asleep faster, spend more time in deep REM sleep and wake up feeling refreshed. That's what sleeping on the next generation mattress means. That's the difference Octaspring makes.
Remarkable Ventilation
Without adequate ventilation, the sleep surface gets hot, causing you to perspire. Not only does the heat and humidity disturb your sleep but also over a short period of time will cause a traditional mattress to start to break down, discolour and encourage mites and micro-organisms, a major cause of allergies.
Traditional memory foam cradles the body for great support but can be hot and humid.
The unique Octaspring ventilation system provides a constant airflow – body movements force stale humid air out via the revolutionary honeycomb structure of the Octasprings through the specially designed mesh sides of the mattress, drawing fresh air back in – providing a fresh healthy sleep surface night after night giving the whole mattress that 'clean sheets' feeling.
Cradling Comfort
Comfort is not about just how soft or firm a mattress is, but about how the mattress structure supports your body, ensuring proper spine alignment and support for your back throughout the night.
Octasprings are designed around a 3 dimensional honeycomb structure. Unlike conventional metal springs, which provide good support but push up against the body, Octaspring's memory foam springs create no pressure points on your body, reducing sleep disturbance throughout the night. The 8500 mattress provides outstanding support for your back, neck and shoulders, conforming anatomically to your body shape and reducing the stress of the day.

Coincidence? Or, Divine Intervention…
September 30, 2009 at 11:27 pm 5 comments
So, it all started out innocently enough. I was excited! I made the big executive decision to merge the girls' things into one room. Here's why: they sleep together anyway and they hardly use the other as a playroom.
I wickedly and swiftly had my own sewing room. I cannot show you pictures yet because it is still quite messy and I wouldn't want to confuse you all with imperfection. (HA!) So, after the machine had been moved in, and I figured out storage, and the like, it came time to decorate a bit. I'd had this cheater print from Denyse Schmidt for awhile and didn't have any grand plans for it and so this is what has become of it. I cut three squares and stretched them over a canvas frame from the art supply store. I love them.
So, I had a fair amount left over. I thought that the nice home dec weight of the canvas, and those lovely, wacky squares would turn into a nice bag or tote. So, I started to make one and here's what we have so far….
I'm pretty excited about making a bag out of this. I'm using Peltex fusible stabilizer so it will be extra boxy and have firm sides, which I like. And, what's the big deal about making a bag out of this? Well, it's not. Except, a few mornings later, I opened up my Denyse Schmidt newsletter email to find this.
Hmmm. Interesting. County Fair fabrics are in the air I suppose. Well, they were. Literally.
Fastforward a few days and what comes in the mail for me? My DQS7 quilt from my partner. It was her first step into the quilting world and I think she made a great, sweet quilt. Uh…notice a theme here?
And not only did she make this, but she sent leftover stash…
So there you have it. Do things really happen in threes? I say yes.

I definitely agree that things tend to happen in threes. Congrats on your new sewing room :) Wish I could help with the formatting but I don't use WordPress so I've no clue.
LOL. My daughter is 20 and away at college, but one day she will REALLY move out. When she does I will first bawl like a baby, then dry my tears and start setting up my quilting studio :).
What a sweet little doll quilt — and the leftover fabrics! So nice!
I love what you did with that DS fabric- love the wall art :)

Paul A. Offit, MD, Director, Vaccine Education Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Two post-licensure studies have reported the possible association between the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a risk factor for strokes and heart attacks. The first report, from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System or VAERS, suffered from the lack of an appropriate control group. The second report, from the Vaccine Safety DataLink, suffered from small numbers. In addition, it is hard to come up with a biological explanation for why a vaccine that consists of the L1 surface protein from four different strains of HPV (types 6, 11, 16, and 18) would cause something that is not a consequence of natural infection.
To get around the problem of small numbers and inadequate control groups, Nikolai Scheller and coworkers in Denmark looked at the incidence of VTE in HPV recipients (Scheller NM, Pasternak B, Svanström H, Hviid A. Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus Vaccine and the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism. JAMA. 2014 July;312(2):187-8). Controlling for age, use of anticoagulants, pregnancy, and most importantly, use of contraceptives (which are known risk factor for VTE), these researchers studied 500,345 women who received the HPV vaccine, finding no association between the vaccine and VTE during the 42-days following vaccination.
Clinicians should be reassured that HPV vaccine is not a cause of VTE.
One of the more common questions that we're asked at the Vaccine Education Center regards the use of rotavirus vaccines in the hospital setting. The problem is this. Currently, rotavirus vaccination is recommended to begin no later than 104 days of age. Because some children will remain in the hospital beyond that age, they may never receive rotavirus vaccine. However, both the bovine-human reassortant rotavirus vaccine (RotaTeq®) and the attenuated human rotavirus strain (RotaRix®) are live viruses raising the possibility of spread from a vaccinated to an unvaccinated child, which could be a particularly severe problem in a vulnerable population of hospitalized infants, some of whom are severely premature.
Heather Monk and colleagues at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia evaluated their hospital's experience with rotavirus vaccine in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) (Monk HM, Motsney AJ, Wade KC. Safety of Rotavirus Vaccine in the NICU. Pediatrics. 2014 Jun; 133(6):e1555-60.) The authors performed a retrospective review of 96 children vaccinated with RotaTeq® and found that none developed symptoms attributable to vaccination within 15 days. Further, 801 infants who were not vaccinated with rotavirus vaccine, but were located near those who had been vaccinated, were also evaluated; again, none developed symptoms consistent with acquisition of vaccine virus. The authors concluded that, "Inpatient administration ensures that age-eligible infants are vaccinated regardless of hospital duration."
This paper advances our understanding of the potential risks of live, attenuated rotavirus vaccines in a NICU setting, but will be further supported by vaccine-shedding studies in those who did or did not receive vaccine in that setting.
Ten studies have now evaluated whether influenza vaccine administered during pregnancy increases the risk of adverse birth outcomes. (See references 1-10 in the journal article cited.) All have found that the influenza vaccine is safe for the unborn child. One weakness of these studies is the lack of a large cohort of women who were vaccinated during the first trimester.
To address this lack of evidence, James D. Nordin and coworkers evaluated 57,554 matched vaccinated and unvaccinated pregnant women, including 16,240 women who were vaccinated in the first trimester (Nordin JD, Kharbanda EO, Benitez GV, et al. Maternal Influenza Vaccine and Risks for Preterm or Small for Gestational Age Birth. J Pediatr. 2014 May;164(5):1051-7.) Data were collected from seven Vaccine Safety DataLink study sites.
The authors found that influenza vaccine given during any trimester did not increase the risk for either premature or small for gestational age births. Similarly, they did not find that influenza vaccination protected against these adverse outcomes.
Influenza vaccine is recommended for pregnant women because they are at increased risk of severe and occasionally fatal influenza infection when compared with women of the same age who are not pregnant. Still, however, only about one-third of women receive this vaccine. Maternal reluctance might in part be related to fear of an adverse outcome in their unborn child. The study by Nordin and colleagues, in concert with the many other studies that have examined this issue, should help to further allay those fears.
Pre-school children are at risk for severe influenza infections; especially those in child care, where the risk of acquisition is greater. To protect against influenza in this setting, the state of Connecticut passed a law in September 2010 requiring all children between 6 months and 5 years of age who attend licensed preschool or child care facility in the state to receive at least one dose of influenza vaccine each year. Connecticut became the second state – after New Jersey – to implement this policy.
After the regulation was put in place, immunization rates among Connecticut children between 6 months and 5 years of age increased from 67.8 percent during the 2009-2010 season to 84.1 percent during the 2012-2013 season. Among 11 Emerging Infections Program (EIP) sites surveyed, Connecticut had the greatest percentage increase among children ≤ 4 years of age (Hadler JL, Yousey-Hindez K, Kudish K, et al. Impact of requiring influenza vaccination for children in licensed child care or preschool programs—Connecticut, 2012-2013 influenza season. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2014 Mar 7;63(9):181-5.).
Connecticut's action lessened the incidence of influenza disease among young children in their state. During the 2007-2008 influenza season, Connecticut was third highest in its incidence of influenza-associated hospitalizations in children ≤ 4 years of age (58.6 per 100,000). During the 2012-2013 season, Connecticut dropped to seventh among states (51.5 per 100,000) and was one of only two states to record a decrease in incidence (12 percent) among children in that age group. Maryland was the other, with a 6 percent decrease.
Not surprisingly, greater immunization rates led to less hospitalization and suffering.
In the 1960s, parents in the United States had only one way to legally withhold vaccines for their children: medical exemptions. Beginning in the 1970s, however, parents pushed for other legislation to exempt their children from vaccines, even if there wasn't a medical contraindication to receiving them. As a consequence, 41 states have religious exemptions to vaccines and 20 states have philosophical exemptions. The results have been predictable. As has been shown in several studies, states or regions with high numbers of vaccine exemptors are more likely to suffer outbreaks of pertussis and measles. Those with lower rates of exemptors suffer lower rates of disease.
To examine recent legislative efforts to expand or restrict exemptions to vaccination, Saad Omer and colleagues examined bills introduced to state legislations between 2009 and 2012 (Omer SB, Peterson D, Curran EA, Hinman A, Orenstein WA. Legislative Challenges to School Immunization Mandates, 2009-2012. JAMA 2014 Feb 12;311(6):620-1). Thirty bills were introduced into the 30 states that didn't have a personal belief exemption; all were defeated. Five bills were introduced restricting personal belief exemptions in states that already had them; three passed (Washington, California, and Vermont).
The trend is apparent. One can only assume that state legislators — realizing that personal belief exemptions have only increased the risk of disease, suffering, and hospitalizations in their states — have started to push back on legislation aimed at expanding exemptions and adopt legislation intended to restrict them. Children in these states will clearly benefit from this trend.
In 1999, the simian-human reassortant rotavirus vaccine (RotaShield®) was taken off of the market because it was found to be a rare cause of intussusception, an intestinal blockage. The attributable risk was 10 per 100,000 vaccinees. At the time, it was hard to understand why RotaShield had caused this problem. All existing evidence didn't support the notion that natural rotavirus infection caused intussusception. So why should a vaccine, which replicates at the intestinal mucosal surface much less efficiently than natural virus, cause a problem that isn't caused by natural virus?
In 2006, the pentavalent bovine-human reassortant rotavirus vaccine (RotaTeq®) was licensed and recommended for all infants. Since then, about 50 million doses have been administered in the United States. Similarly, in 2008, the monovalent attenuated human rotavirus vaccine (RotaRix®) was also licensed and recommended for universal use; about 10 million doses have now been administered. With millions of children now vaccinated with these two newer rotavirus vaccines, two recent papers have now addressed the question of whether RotaTeq and RotaRix are also rare causes of intussusception.
Yih and coworkers evaluated data from a program called PRISM (Post-Licensure Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring), which is directed by the Centers for Biologics and Research of the FDA (Yih WK, et al. Intussusception risk after rotavirus vaccination in U. S. infants. New Engl J of Med. 2014 Feb 6;370:503-12). These researchers found that the attributable risk for intussusception following RotaTeq was 1.5 per 100,000 vaccinees (about seven-fold less than that found after RotaShield). The number of children inoculated with RotaRix was too small for adequate evaluation using PRISM.
A second article in the same journal evaluated the risk of intussusception following both RotaTeq and RotaRix using a different data set: the Vaccine Safety DataLink (Weintraub ES, et al. Risk of intussusception after monovalent rotavirus vaccination. New Engl J of Med. 2014 Feb 6;370:513-9). These investigators found that RotaRix was also a rare cause of intussusception with an attributable risk of 5.3 per 100,000 (about half that of RotaShield); RotaTeq was not associated with intussusception in this study.
What do these data teach us? The findings with RotaRix are particularly instructive. RotaRix is a live weakened virus originally obtained from a young boy with rotavirus diarrhea in Cincinnati in 1989. If RotaRix is a rare cause of intussusception, it raises the question of whether natural rotavirus infection is also a rare cause of intussusception. This question can be answered by evaluating the incidence of intussusception in the United States since the introduction of RotaTeq and RotaRix. Because the incidence of natural rotavirus infections has decreased dramatically, we have essentially replaced natural rotavirus with vaccine viruses. The CDC recently presented data showing that the incidence of intussusception has stayed about the same. This means that, in all likelihood, the attributable risk of intussusception following vaccination is about the same as that following natural infection.
If parents are concerned about whether rotavirus vaccination causes intussusception, they should be reassured that it does not appear that rotavirus vaccines have altered the incidence of intussusception in the United States.
In 2009, an unusual side effect was observed in a group of European and Scandinavian people who received a swine flu vaccine that contained the adjuvant, squalene. About 1 of every 55,000 people who received the vaccine developed narcolepsy: a disorder characterized by excessive sleepiness during the day, a sudden loss of muscle tone and strength, and rapid eye movement abnormalities.
Several important facts are known about narcolepsy. It's caused by a loss of the 70,000 neurons in the hypothalamus that make a peptide called hypocretin, which is responsible for wakefulness. Also, the disease is far more common in people who have a particular genetic background (HLA-DQA1).
Alberto De la Herrán-Arita and colleagues at Stanford University School of Medicine appear to have figured out what happened (De la Herrán-Arita AK, Kornum BR, Mahlios J, et al., CD4+ cell autoimmunity to hypocretin/orexin and cross-reactivity to a 2009 H1N1 influenza A epitope in narcolepsy. Sci Transl Med.2013 Dec 18;5(216):216ra176). The Stanford researchers found a peptide on the influenza hemagglutinin that mimics hypocretin. So when people were immunized with the swine flu vaccine, those with HLA-DQA1 were more likely to develop an immune response (T cells) against their own hypocretin than those who didn't get the vaccine or those who didn't have that genetic susceptibility.
More research is required. People in the United States, for example, received an unadjuvanted vaccine and didn't develop narcolepsy. It would be interesting to know whether the same side effect would have occurred in Europe and Scandinavia if their vaccine had not contained squalene as an adjuvant.

The 4th of July is a holiday that celebrates the birthday of the United States of America, also known as Independence Day. While the signing of the Declaration of Independence began on the second of July, the Continental Congress adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence on the fourth, which is why we celebrate that day. Some families are happy to name their baby after a nearby holiday if they give birth. So here are some names for you if you have a Independence Day baby.
- Glory/Gloria – nickname for a flag
- Julia – meaning July
- Liberty – freedom

- John – popular president and more
- Lincoln – popular president
- George – popular president

A few months ago, I wrote a column focusing on the Indiana Career Council, highlighting how it will help Hoosiers gain employment matching their skills and expertise by aligning educational institutions' curriculum with what skills employers say they need. Here in our district we can say that idea is nothing new, and it certainly seems to work!
I recently saw a news story out of Indianapolis about our Batesville High School Engineering and Technology class that took a visit to the Batesville Casket Company. It shared a little about the Advance Manufacturing and Logistics Curriculum at Batesville High School and how the school, Ivy Tech and local businesses work together to give students the chance to graduate ahead of the curve.
That news piece reminded me of how a great idea, when implemented elsewhere, can take off and really make a difference. The educational model created by Batesville HS was the spark that set off a wildfire of understanding – preparing students for the real world, whether that's higher education, a technical career or taking over the family business, will help close the opportunity gap in Indiana.
Starting with an idea and ending with a program that has the potential to impact thousands of young Hoosiers' futures – that's what Batesville High School did with the help of several great superintendents, local businesses and willing students.
Our state is already great and still has so much potential. Just a couple weeks ago Connersville announced that the cabinet company Wayzata Home Products is moving in, bringing with it more than 300 jobs for Hoosiers. That is a huge boon to our section of the state and will certainly attract even more positive attention our way.
These announcements and educational developments just go to show that Hoosiers' hard work does pay off. Companies will continue to notice our business friendly environment and strong workforce, made even stronger through the efforts of great educators, forward-thinking curriculums, strong economic policies, flourishing natural resources and a willing workforce.

Some highlights of SNAILS:
Revolutionary three-ingredient formula — containing just water, acrylic polymer and non-toxic colorants, SNAILS is safe in its simplicity.
Totally water soluble — SNAILS washes off easily with simple soap and water, making harsh solvent-based remover a thing of the past.
Environmentally friendly — from biodegradable packaging and lead-free bottles, to a strict no animal testing policy.
Hypoallergenic — SNAILS is purely chemical, Paraben and toxin free, so little nails are kept safe, sound and splendidly colored.
Vivacious color choices — every SNAILS polish delivers glorious high-quality gloss and deliciously gentle fragrance.
♥ I still remember when I was a little girl, I use to love playing with nail polish. I even use to paint my dad and brother's toe nails. Hehe. They were such good sports. The only disadvantage was that it was time consuming to remove it. Regular nail polish is meant to stay on. And in order to remove it, you need to use stinky, harsh chemicals such as nail polish remover. For us grown-ups, that's no big deal. But for your little ones, wouldn't it be so much easier, and safer if it could just come off with water? Well the good news is, with SNAILS it can! I was sent the red and pink SNAIL nail polish for my reviewing pleasure. The colors are really pretty. Just be prepared when you go to wash your hands. Don't find out the hard way like I did. It comes off! lol. It was everywhere. But no worries, they have product for that type of situation, such as wipes to remove it.
♥FIVE lucky fans will WIN: A special celebration gift pouch. The pouch contains 2 Snails safe nail polishes chosen at random from SNAILS 19 vibrant, high gloss, salon quality colors; 1 nail buffer, especially made for tiny little nails; and our cute instruction card which gives full instructions for nail polish application and removal.

The very best thing of all? There is a counter on this ball!
Skip-It was one of the best (and most memorable) toys to come out during our childhood. It was simple: a plastic loop that you put your ankle inside of attached to a plastic "ball" which was spun around and "skipped" over by your free foot. This was a toy that actually involved exercise! I personally never had one, but I loved playing with these whenever I had the chance. I think what made these things hot were two things:
Even though this wasn't a feature on the skip-it until later, I think this is what made the toy memorable. We are naturally competitive, and the skip-it counter easily turned this toy into a way to challenge someone. Hula hoops are fun, but there is no easy way to keep track of and display how many successful turns are made. The counter provided a goal for the toy; You always wanted to beat your previous record, or beat someone else's.
The Skip-It is considered "a commercial success" because of its television advertisements on channels such as Nickelodeon and during other children's programming, according to Wikipedia. The commercial (for the model with the counter) featured a catchy jingle and portrayed this toy with an "everyone is doing it and look how much fun they are having" message. Watching the commercial makes me want to buy a Skip-It even now! Check it out for yourself:
Does anyone know where to even get a Skip-It these days? The closest I could find was at Toys R Us and it's out of stock. Ebay is probably always a good bet…
If you enjoyed this post, consider subscribing to the rss feed or following us on twitter. If you think this post could have been better, contact us about writing a guest post!
I always laughed at people that had those! It made you look so stupid but dammit if you weren't always arguing with someone over their score.
"Hey, what's your highest skip-it?"
"73, what's yours?"
"658, non-stop for 3 days."
"…yeah well my brother went 5 days straight and got a gazillion."
Ah, the good ol' days.
does anyone know the international record??????
I had one of those. The stupid ball at the end would always brake off.

Stanford Hires Pete Alamar to Coach Special Teams
A familiar face has returned to the Pac-12: Pete Alamar. "Pete came highly recommended by people who I respect in the coaching profession," Shaw said in a statement. "He is one of those rare coaches who can coach not only scheme, but also the technique of snapping, punting and kicking." Alamar replaces Brian Polian, who left Stanford last month to join Kevin Sumlin's staff at Texas A&M." I hope you're all looking forward to being on the other side of an Alamar Special!

So instead of refreshing the page every 10 mins hoping and seeing nothing but our division rivals bulking up, give us something to hope for, something to get excited about again. People say that Bills fans are the best, that's because we can always find hope in dark situations, but it's getting hard to find hope when you're not given any information on where to look.

Activist and MSNBC Anchor Contessa Brewer Lectures Mormons, Hopes for More 'Progress' on Gay Rights
Gay rights activist and MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer continued to insert her politics into news reports on Wednesday. The News Live host discussed changes in how the Mormons view homosexuality and lectured, "And we hope to see more progress from the Church of Latter-Day Saints in the future."
The Mormon Church has announced it will no longer require those who have homosexual attractions to seek counseling, but still opposes acting on such feelings. That, apparently, wasn't enough for Brewer who complained to Fred Sainz of the Human Rights Campaign, "So, there's some progress there, but, yet, the church still calls homosexuality a violation of God's commandment."
Video follows after page break.
Brewer has a long history of brazenly lobbying for gay rights even as she works as a supposedly neutral journalist. On July 24, 2010, the anchor appeared a fundraiser for gay rights in Kentucky. This was less than two weeks after she complained, on-air, "Big question today: Why aren't more American leaders itching for a fight on gay rights?"
Brewer has also repeatedly argued for gay marriage.
A transcript of the November 17 segment, which aired at 12:40pm EST, follows:
CONTESSA BREWER: The Mormon church now says same-sex attraction is normal. And that is a major about-face from its previous doctrine. The church has formally removed same-sex attraction from the church's list of sins. It also for the first time does not require those who feel such attraction to seek professional counseling. The Human Rights Campaign pressured the Church of Latter Day Saints on this issue. Fred Sainz is with the campaign. So, there's some progress there, but, yet, the church still calls homosexuality a violation of God's commandment. Where is the church drawing the line?
FRED SAINZ (Human Rights Campaign): Well, no, you're right. Unfortunately, the Mormon Church continues to put homosexuality in the same category as murder, forcible rape and sexual assault. So, clearly, here's an awful lot of work the Mormon church has to do in order to correct the wrongs because of the message it sends to society at large, but specifically to gay and lesbian people, the message they send are that they're lesser than. So, while we certainly applaud them for removing what is called reparative therapy or the premise that you can simply change being gay by simply praying more, well they removed that from their handbook. They still have an awful long way to go in order to be in keeping with the mainstream of American society and what should be responsible church teachings.
BREWER: So, basically what they're saying is that the feelings not a problem but acting on those feelings is. So, how is the Mormon church now advising gays and lesbians to act?
SAINZ: Well, therein lies the conundrum there, Contessa, in that- The message that they're sending to people is that they should never love or be loved.
BREWER: Yeah.
SAINZ: That they can never and should never go ahead and act on what the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations have found to be completely natural behavior that are a normal part of being human. And, so, that, to us is simply not acceptable. It is not in keeping with the spiritual beliefs and understandings and experiences of the wide amount of American people.
BREWER: Right.
SAINZ: And, so, we believe they have a much farther way to go.
BREWER: Fred, thank you so much for joining us today. We appreciate that. And we hope to see more progress from the Church of Latter Day Saints in the future.

Pointless and stupid
Submitted by Morganfrost on Wed, 11/17/2010 - 5:41pm.
Nobody has to be a Mormon, and it's rather obnoxious for someone who isn't to tell them what their beliefs have to be. If Contessa doesn't like how Mormon theology views homosexuality, then, whenever Elder So-and-So knocks on her door and asks her to become a Mormon, she can decline.
Beyond that, if Elder So-and-So doesn't come rampaging down her street demanding that she adhere to his religious principles, she might as well mind her own business on the subject.

Homosexuality is a violation of God's commandment. So stop pushing your gay agenda and start being a good christian first. Whom you choose to have sex with is between you, your partner and God. Homos are such narcissists.

I think MSNBC ought to relieve Brewer of her duties until she comes out of the closet and admits she is gay.
Just like Olbermann was furloughed for donating to dems, while talking them up on the air, same should hold true for Brewer and her incessant heterosexual bashing. Saying I'm married on air does not make you not gay sweety.
She just goes way over the top on anything gay. Demanding to get her way like a crazy person some times.
This is typical behavior for a gay person. You give them a finger, next thing you know they demand a fist.

Mandrake, homosexuality is
Submitted by Liberallies on Wed, 11/17/2010 - 7:59pm.
homosexuality is wrong, as much as cheating on your spouse is. period end of story. This is a fact that the pro-homosexuals do not want to hear!
Now, they are grabbing unto this bullying excuse to silence the free speech of those of us who know homosexual sexual practices are 100% wrong.
In Europe and Canada, you already have governments making it a hate crime to say homosexuality is wrong. It doesn't matter who says it or where it is said. Priests, ministers have been fined and threaten with jail time for saying that homosexual sex practices are wrong and evil.
Why does the Left love preaching their immoral "values" to the world, but can't stand it when they are told that their actions are wrong?
Does this mean that those with homosexual tendancies are evil and will go to Hell? No way, as the Roman Catholic Church teaches, we are all children of God and ALL of us are loved by God equally. However, the practice of homosexual acts is a sin which gravely offends God.
The real problem here is, that as most human beings, homosexuals want to keep on practicing their depravity without having to hear or acknowledge that it is a sin.
and it is true, it is NOT anyone's place to judge you as a human being, only God can judge you. However, I can judge your actions and tell you whether they are Right or Wrong.
But once again, Liberals feel that they can tell us what is right and wrong, but hate it, they become belligerent and hateful if anyone dares tell them what they should be doing as Right and Wrong. Typical Liberal hypocrisy.

Submitted by Slyrr on Wed, 11/17/2010 - 7:37pm.
Make no mistake, the left is using homosexuality as a platform to try and destroy the Constitution by destroying freedom of religion. The left seeks to use the mask of 'tolerance' and 'acceptance' to force all churches to change their doctrine, to force them to alter their teachings and embrace perversion at the point of a political sword.
This is not the first time it's happened. The last days prophesied that the wicked would get madder and madder at the righteous until they reach a point where they just can't get any angrier, and where words will no longer satisfy them. Then they'll want blood.
'You shall be hated and despised of men for my name's sake, and the time comes that whosoever kills you will say he is doing God a service.'
You're already hearing it, just like you heard it from Joyless Behar and Whoopi whatzerface. 'Doesn't the bible say not to judge others?'
They're wresting the scriptures. Where do they get the idea that God's edict to leave final judgement to him somehow equates to an executive order to embrace homosexuality? From the same guy who has hated religion from the get-go and taught his followers to hate.

The LDS church did NOT say that same sex attraction is 'normal', in their handbook or anywhere else. The instant I read her interview, I knew she and the loser she was interviewing were wrong. They are either deliberately lying, or wilfully ignorant.
Here is the truth:
This is just Brewer, and the Left in general, trying to force churches to change their doctrine at the point of a media/PC sword.
Brewer should review the 10 commandments - specifically the one where it talks about 'bearing false witness'.

Submitted by Slyrr on Thu, 11/18/2010 - 12:52am.
In 1995 the church issued a 'Proclomation to the World'. Among other things, it says specifically:
"Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
...We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.
We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God's eternal plan...
The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan....
We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets."
In order to say that 'same sex relationships are no longer a sin' (as Brewer and her cohorts suggested), the church would have to revoke this proclomation. This is not the sort of thing they can do by 'stealth' or on the quiet. Every six months, the church holds general conference in which members of the church sustain their leaders. Something like them saying 'Gay is OK' would not just slip by without a word.
Plus, the ultimate authority is God. God does not kow-tow to his own children, just because Contessa Brewer has her undies in a wad over a pet social issue du jour.

Random Thoughts
Submitted by almostacowboy on Wed, 11/17/2010 - 7:55pm.
Why is she (or any non-Mormon) concerned with the LDS position on homosexuality? Anything to do with Glenn Beck?
Can Brewer, or anyone, point out the "normal" part of homosexuality?
Brewer says: "...the church still calls homosexuality a violation of God's commandment". I would say it's not "the church" that says that. It's the Bible that says that (Seventh Commandment - Thou shalt not commit adultery -which is any sexual relation outside marriage). And, since the Bible is the Holy Word of God, God Himself says it's a violation. Of course, I certainly doubt that Ms. Brewer or those august groups of intellectuals, the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations, believe in God.
I find it incredible that these two, Brewer and Sainz, have the audacity to dare to tell any religious group, LDS or Christian, how they should be reacting towards homosexuality and saying they (the church) have a long way to go to correct its "wrongs". What about the wrongs of the Progressive/Liberal agenda attempting to force the acceptance of an immoral, unnatural, and dangerous lifestyle by the public by saying that, somehow, there is something wrong with us when we stand up against the preposterous assertion that homosexuality is "normal".

Brewer, Behar, Andrea Mitchell--the whole gaggle of arrogant media hacks noted in today's (and every day, for that matter) round of media bias alerts--have morphed into third rate lecturers-- hectoring, insulting, demeaning those who disagree, or have a different take on an issue than media elites.
They don't conduct interviews with people; they engage in public ceremonies of inflicted disgrace toward their interviewees. The subtext of their questioning is "Why can't you conservatives see the light? Why are you so resistant to popular culture? Why do you insist on standards, and Biblical standards at that? Don't you understand your time is over?".
Meanwhile, the sand on which they have built their houses is moving, shifting, weakening the foundation on which they pontificate to the rest of the world.

Funding formula could 'widen North-South divide'by Helen Ford
New research suggests the North East would lose out under a proposed new formula for distributing NHS funding. The Durham University study says changes could reduce services in areas like Sunderland and widen the North-South divide.
The funding is allocated to the newly formed Clinical Commissioning Groups which are responsible for services like accident and emergency, elective hospital treatment and community health.
Using data provided by NHS England, the Durham researchers mapped the difference in funding per person between the current formula and the proposed new calculation.
They say the new formula favours more affluent areas and penalises poorer regions. For example:
- In Sunderland, NHS funding would decrease by £146 per person
- In South Tees, funding would go down by £60 per person
- In South Eastern Hampshire, funding would increase by £164 per person
So why are the changes being considered?
Until now, the funding calculation has taken deprivation into account when distributing money. The formula now under consideration puts greater emphasis on age. As a result, areas where people live longer would receive more money.
– Prof Clare Bambra, Durham University
"If this formula is implimented as it currently is, and of course it is out for consulation, then it could lead to decreases of up to 11% in health funding across the region. Now if you're in Sunderland, having £150 pounds less spent on your healthcare is definitely going to be noticable. "
– Greg Canning, Royal College of Nursing
The solution is clearly to change the formula and to take into account levels of deprivation, and to take into account the poor health outcomes that the North East has already. Clearly it's not right to widen the already existing inequality. We need to close that gap, not make it worse."
NHS England says the proposed formula is under review and will be adjusted before it is implemented. Its board will meet in December to decide the next steps. It also says the money it distributes to CCGs is only one part of wider NHS funding.
– NHS England
The funding allocations review group has been exploring and considering the best approach to ensuring that any future funding allocation proposals ensure equal access to health services across the country and address health inequalities. It is only right that as part of this process we continue to examine the risks and benefits of a range of potential options.

Fairy LiceMother Frequently Asked Questions
What are head lice?
How do you get head lice?
Can't I just go to the drugstore and buy a lice removal product?
The products sold in drugstores or prescribed by doctors are called Pediculicide (Nix, Rid, Clear, etc). Pediculicides are the insecticidal shampoos and creme rinses used to treat head lice. These products contain pesticides.
Problems with Pediculicides
For several years the media, mothers, school nurses, and entomologists have been reporting that many head louse populations have become resistant to the chemicals used to treat them. Fairy LiceMothers will ease your mind and help you get rid of this itchy problem without the use of any chemicals.
Louse Life Cycle
Nits are head lice eggs. They are cemented at the base of the hair shaft nearest the scalp. Nits take about 1 week to hatch (range 6 to 9 days)
The egg hatches to release a nymph. Nymphs mature after three molts and become adults about 7 days after hatching.
Adult lice can live up to 30 days on a person's head. A maximum of 6 to 10 nits are laid each day by each female.

In return for helping cover the cost of Nats Insider (and former Washington Times' writer) Mark Zuckerman's coverage of the Washington Nationals' twenty-ten Spring Training, readers were promised a chance to ask a question of either Nats' Skipper Jim Riggleman or one of several players who agreed to participate in a series of interviews Mr. Zuckerman's been publishing this week. With his last Spring start coming this afternoon and then five days before the season starts next Monday when the Philadelphia Phillies and their fans invade the nation's capital to watch newly-acquired ace Roy Halladay take on the rock of the Nationals' rotation, the Nats' twenty-five year-old third-year starter John Lannan, (the second player to answer Mr. Zuckerman's questions following Ryan Zimmerman), was willing participate in Mr. Zuckerman's interviews by answering a few questions from fans. Here at Federal Baseball.com, we came up with a question which was generated by our readers (or one in particular really) who wanted to know how it was that Mr. Lannan is able to get so many batters out in spite of his relatively low strikeout total. Here's how the question was phrased:
Q: "There's a bit of a debate in the stats community about how you are able to succeed without getting many strikeouts. Last year, you had the fewest strikeouts-per-nine innings of all pitchers with an ERA under 4.00. How do you get so many outs on balls put into play?"
Lannan's 89 '09 K's were actually 11 fewer than the next lowest total, collected by fellow lefty Jarrod Washburn, who struck out 100 in 176.0 IP over which he posted a 3.78 ERA to Lannan's 3.88 mark, and 180 K's less than the highest K total, amassed by Tigers' right-hander Justin Verlander, who recorded 269 K's while posting a 3.45 ERA. So how is John Lannan able to succeed in keeping his ERA low without striking batters out? For Mr. Lannan's response, and to read the entire interview: CLICK HERE.

Detachment, starring Adrien Brody is a story of a trouble substitute teacher who has a hard time creating bonds with his co-teachers and students. In this movie, Adrien Brody finds his fear of attachment coming into his existence and all that's left is for him to face it. Detachment was shown in theaters last March 16th 2012. Here's a quick movie review from Stephen Holden:
Detachment: A Story About A Teacher Who Wants To Make A Difference
"Detachment, the latest provocation from Tony Kaye, the director of the neo-Nazi drama "American History X" and the graphic abortion documentary "Lake of Fire," belongs to a subset of shockers that know exactly which nerves to prick to produce intense reactions. Like-minded movies determined to blow the lid off your complacency include Larry Clark's "Kids" and Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream." But how much can you trust films that blend high-minded outrage with a tabloid-savvy sensationalism?
To camouflage its trashier impulses, "Detachment" buttresses its jeremiad about the failing public-education system with quotations from "The Stranger" by Albert Camus and a reading from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe. The shriller its didacticism, the more unhinged it becomes. But even at its most ludicrous — when it is shouting into your ear — its sheer audacity grabs your attention.
The particular hell explored in "Detachment" is a public high school (every high school, the movie implies) somewhere in the New York metropolitan area, as seen through the sorrowful eyes of Henry Barthes (Adrien Brody), a dedicated substitute teacher. Henry, who lives a loner's existence, copes with the stress of work by maintaining an attitude of compassionate detachment. In one of his best performances since "The Pianist," Mr. Brody plays him as a quietly suffering saint whose anguished gaze tilts toward heaven.
Henry regularly visits a nursing home where his ailing grandfather (Louis Zorich) suffers from worsening dementia but is still rational enough to be racked with guilt for past sins involving Henry's alcoholic mother (seen in lurid flashbacks), who committed suicide.
Ever the good Samaritan, Henry impulsively offers shelter to Erica (Sami Gayle), a 15-year-old runaway prostitute who follows him home. Under Henry's chaste ministrations, Erika metamorphoses virtually overnight from a savage, foul-mouthed viper covered with sores and bruises into a radiant surrogate daughter.
Mr. Brody heads a strong cast that includes Marcia Gay Harden as the besieged principal who is fired because the school's low test scores are blamed for the neighborhood's property values; Christina Hendricks as a fellow teacher who initiates a tentative romance with Henry; James Caan, playing a cynical, pill-popping faculty clown; and Lucy Liu as Dr. Doris Parker, a guidance counselor who cracks under the stress.
In the most implausible scene, Dr. Parker goes ballistic when a student complains that she doesn't like school and wants to be a model. Screaming hysterically that the girl is a shallow, disgusting creature, Dr. Parker brutally outlines the girl's hopeless future."

A Girlfriends' Getaway is a perfect way to carve out the time to "catch up," and the award-winning Chocolate Turtle B&B is just the place to gather. Several options are available - for a small group or just a couple of friends. New Mexico is easy to get to from most parts of the US, and the Chocolate Turtle is centrally located in the charming, historic farming Village of Corrales, NM – just 25 minutes from the Albuquerque Airport. Packages can be customized to meet your specific requests.
Babymoon!!Escape to the Chocolate Turtle Bed and Breakfast for a relaxing getaway before the baby arrives. A romantic bouquet of fresh flowers that will go home with you will be awaiting your arrival. Pamper yourselves - begin to unwind with a leisurely stroll along the nearby acequia, or just relax by putting your feet up and watching the Sandia Mountains perform their magical transformations, while sipping a sparkling beverage and nibbling on cookies and chocolate-covered strawberries (we can provide healthy snacks if you prefer). Enjoy a customized picnic basket on the patio while listening to the delightful night sounds of the desert. Gourmet breakfasts are served on the portal in warm weather with entertainment by the roadrunners and quail scampering around the yard. Be treated to a relaxing massage for mom and dad - take a nap and then enjoy a romantic dinner at a local restaurant. There's a special Turtle gift for mom and dad - and even one for the baby in this package that includes two nights at this award-winning bed and breakfast for $625 plus tax.
