Opponent Profile: Broncos Not A Good Matchup For Raiders This Week
The Denver Broncos are coming off a loss, and that means bad news for the winless Oakland Raiders. Peyton Manning loves to dissect a bad defense, and that's what he's prepping to do right now—leaving the Silver & Black on the spot for Sunday's game at the Coliseum against the defending AFC champs.
Penalties, Turnovers Doom 49ers, Spoil Opening Of Levi's Stadium
It's hard to win when you play like the 49ers did Sunday Night. When you get called for 13 penalties and commit 4 turnovers its hard to win in the NFL. They still outplayed Chicago and had a chance late to win, but fell short.
Week 2 Injury Report, 49ers Secondary Banged Up At the Wrong Time; Bears Offense Not Much Better
It's only week 2 and both the 49ers and Bears are both less than 100% entering an important matchup. Outside of Anthony Davis all players are a question mark, so hopefully injuries will have a minimal effect on the outcome.

Marianne Wesson -- "A Death at Crooked Creek"
08/28/2013 7:30 pm
Marianne Wesson will speak about and sign her new book, A Death at Crooked Creek, on Wednesday, August 28th at 7:30pm.
About the book:
University of Colorado professor Marianne Wesson employs her expertise to great effect in A Death at Crooked Creek, a study of a crime that left its mark on the American legal system. The 1879 murder of John Hillmon gained notoriety when his life insurance providers, suspicious of fraud, refused to pay his widow. The result: six trials and a Supreme Court ruling that led to a new exception to the hearsay rule, a "durable and influential" precedent embroiled in controversy. Wesson's efforts result in a true crime drama that's well researched, easy to read, and oddly compelling.
Vouchers to attend this event are $5 and are good for $5 off the author's featured book or on a purchase on the day of the event. Vouchers may be purchased in advance, over the phone, or at the door. Readers Guild Members can reserve seats at any in-store event.

Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus Recipe
This is especially wonderful when locally grown asparagus is in season and so easy for celebrations because you can serve it hot or cold. —Jannine Fisk, Malden, Massachusetts
- 1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1-1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- Preheat oven to 400°. Place the asparagus, tomatoes and pine nuts on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Mix 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, salt and pepper; add to asparagus and toss to coat.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or just until asparagus is tender. Drizzle with remaining oil and lemon juice; sprinkle with cheese and lemon peel. Toss to combine. Yield: 8 servings.

"Very delicious. The only thing I changed was I used way less parmesan cheese because not everyone at our gathering is a fan. I got many rave reviews and will most likely make this again."
Reviewed Jun. 26, 2014
"I made this a few weeks ago for a family gathering and it was a hit, even with those who aren't big veggie eaters. I like the fact that the asparagus is baked, and the preparation was simple. Great recipe!"
Reviewed Jun. 10, 2014
"Nothing needs to be changed with this meal. Absolutely perfect! My husband even went back for seconds!"
Reviewed May. 15, 2014
"I liked the idea of this, but wasn't crazy about the outcome. Seems like we simply prefer raosted asparagus on it's own."

There are 3 of us in the office. This works perfectly for me to shop on Sunday and bring in groceries for all of us to last through the entire week for breakfasts and lunches and misc. snacks. The size of the unit could not have worked any better.

Temp control difficult
By chi2hun
from Huntley, IL
We bought this unit for our wet bar. It is a perfect fir for the small area we have for it and it is also very attractive with the staineless steel and black. The problem is there is only one temperature control for the fridge and freezer. We played with it for days trying to get the perfect temperature because it was either freezing the beverages in the fridge or thawing the ice in the freezer. Disappointing. We finally settled ona temperte that is slightly to warm for the freezer and we do not use it at all. :(
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: If you purchased this item from Abt and aren't happy with it, you have 30 days to return or exchange it. Please see our site or contact customer service at 847-967-8830 to begin the return process.

Nice for a small space
Perfect inside and out!
By Syrtova
from Virginia Beach, VA
This is the perfect size for our small office. It is very nice looking and very roomy. Even our technicians commented on how much room there is. We had been looking for quite some time for a small refrigerator but something larger than the dorm refrigerators. We are so pleased with this fridge.
Uneven temperature control
By Cluster
from San Francisco
Follow me
Either the whole thing freezes or the freezer is useless. We thought we finally figured out the VERY sensitive/unclear temperature dial (only available in the fridge section; not a separate one for the freezer section), but even then randomly certain items will freeze while others on the same shelf aren't. Very uneven.
Merchant response: If you are having issues with your Avanti refrigerator (and it was purchased from Abt), please call our appliance service department at 847-967-8830 for assistance. Your appliance comes with a one year parts and labor warranty so there should be no cost for service.
Compact size, compact cost, great deal!
By Michael Blumberg
from Glenview, IL
I bought this when I expanded my office and it has been great. It gets really cold and is big enough so store the needs of a few office employees, but small enough to fit in tight spaces.
Service and delivery comments:
The delivery was quick and professional. They set it up and it has worked perfectly since delivery.
Happy Days Are here again
By Max

Needed a size, that I couldn't purchase in my area, this product was the size I needed due to my camper refrigerator not working and they wanted a lot of money to replace. Very happy I even have more room and a lot less money than purchasing a camper refrigerator.

I am not much of a blogger but I just had one of those ah ha moments. While cruising through Spark this morning I ran across a few pages of fellow Sparkers that were asking about different types of diets (Atkins, South Beach etc.), I have even had a few people ask me what kind of diet that I am on� well funny thing is I am not on a diet, well I don�t consider it to be it is more of a lifestyle change. I realized that my previous attempts at weight loss (before Spark) were unsuccessful because I was trying to confirm or stick to a diet set-up by someone else that had no knowledge of me and what my body actually needed. After joining Spark I learned about nutrition and what my body really needed and thus I have created my own regimen I guess you can say. For me trying to stick to a standard DIET becomes old and boring and not something that I can stick with for long, I think that is why we sometimes are not successful in our journey; because we are trying to follow a DIET and not a lifestyle change and then when we get of course for 1 day or even 1 meal we feel like a failure and just give up. My advice to anyone who ask about different diets is to learn what your body needs, make gradually changes to how and what you eat, measure portions and make healthy choices (I feel that is easier to stick to) and don�t restrict yourself because if you do and you make one mistake (if you want to call it that) or get of course it may be hard for you to get past it and move forward. Well that is my Ah Ha Moment for the day��.GOOD DAY FELLOW SPARKERS and remember make today count as FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
Best wishes.
I started this journey to lose weight (I wanted to be skinny :-)) but as I progressed I learned that it was more about being healthy and fit. I started my journey January 2011 and by the start of June 2011 I had lost over 70 pounds then mid-June I found out that I was expecting. I had a difficult pregnancy; at first I was very ill everyday then I became very tired all the time�.needless to say working out (something that I had found out that I really loved) was not on the to do list for me. So here I am about 1 year later, I have a beautiful healthy 4 month old daughter and about 60 or so extra pounds. The funny thing about it is that I am not upset or mad about the weight gain as I know that I can shed those pounds and then some in no time. I must confess, I did have a hard time starting over again but I came to the realization that I would rather be healthy and fit than fat and tired�.with that in mind I logged into Spark and reset my trackers (tear) and started just where I left off. I must say that Spark and all of my SparkBuddy�s are awesome, you guys made coming back so easy and welcomed me with open arms (just as if I didn�t take a leave of absence). Although I did have a valid excuse for not being active (on Spark and Physically) I really missed out on a lot. I see that a vast number of my SparkFriends are MIA�.I know life situations come up (as it did in my case) and I also know that we sometimes have setbacks and are too embarrassed to come around. Whatever the case maybe I wish everyone on this site and this journey the best. Please know that this is a process that will not change overnight but with hard work and dedication you can and WILL be successful. If you fall down get right back up, dust yourself off and start right back over again. Find what works for you and stick with it, listen to your body. Remember failure is NOT an option.
Me, that�s who! Yes, this girl just JOGGED 1 ENTIRE MILE NON-STOP. I am so happy I can barely control my emotions, the last 1/10th of the mile I was smiling from ear to ear and I did it in 9:59. You guys have no idea what this means to me. I logged onto Spark late today and saw that it was National Run Day so I was like I am going to jog as far and as longs as I can without stopping. Well, so far I have only been able to run .25 miles without stopping so I was going to push myself to do .50 miles, a � mile came and I told myself to keep pushing just to see how far I could go�.around .70 miles my calf muscles started to cramp a little but I was like I made it this far and I am going to make it all the way and guess what I DID IT!!!!! I have read so many times that it is mind over matter and I so believe that! I jogged outside up and down my street (I didn�t feel like driving to the track) so I jogged a slight hill a few times. I could not believe that I actually did it so I got in my car not 1 but 2 times and set the trip mileage to zero and drove back and forth up the street to make sure that I really did 1 mile and yep I did! I even had my husband to do it, LOL. I am in disbelief.
I have so many SparkFriends that are runners that I look up to and that have given me advice along the way, I THANK EACH OF YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I just had to share this news with you all�.I feel so good I may just go out and jog another mile. Today I have learned that all things are possible, this (to me) is a dream come true! I will be jogging a 5K in no time.
Believe and achieve, I sure have.
Blessings to all.
Wow! It is hard to believe that I have lost 55 pounds. I am so proud and grateful for my success, I give this site and all my wonderful SparkFriends a lot of credit, you guys keep me going. I actually had someone comment on my page and tell me that I inspire them, what me!?!? Oh, that made my day and made me want to push even harder. It seemed so easy to lose this first 55 pounds; I pray that I can continue to say the same as I get closer to my goal weight.
What have I learned in the in the last 4 months (since joining Spark)?
That I can do anything that I put my mind to.
That I may have bad days but I can PUSH through them and that my GOOD days far outweigh the bad.
That I can jog�.yeah me, jogging.
That I can encourage others (another big wow for me).
That I can and WILL reach my goal weight.
That working out is fun and gives me a rush afterwards.
That my SparkFriends are the best.
That this is a life style change and not just some quick fix.
The list could go on and on. I am so proud of myself, I have started �DIETS� and stopped so many times before but this time is different, I don�t feel limited on what I can eat and I have not thought about giving up! I know that my mind is made up and I am determined to be successful. I feel so much better and I have a ton of energy now, I actually look forward to working out. Hard work, sweat and sometimes even tears help us get a little closer to our goal. For me it is not all about looking better (although that is a huge PLUS) but being healthier and having a better quality of life. It is amazing what losing weight can and will do for you physically and mentally. I am so thankful for all of my accomplishments and for everyone who has helped me through my journey so far. My husband is the best and is so supportive, he has adopted my new eating habits and we (along with our son) work out together.
Thanks for all of the support guys.

Mortal Kombat has another live-action movie in the works, and it's probably not going to be very good. That doesn't mean it has to be awful, though. The right blend of actors can turn any film, no matter how cynical, into a classic worthy of the Oscars. Yes, even a videogame movie!
As a budding Hollywood producer, I have slaved over hot data and juicy demographics with my crack team to scientifically distill a perfect Mortal Kombat movie cast -- the actors and actresses qualified above all else to bring this classic fighting game franchise to life. Including our conceptual mockups, we hope to present this to George Lucas himself, so he may give us his almighty blessing.
Behold, the perfect Mortal Kombat movie cast!

One of the most cinematic games is finally reaching cinemas through a partnership between Columbia Pictures and Kojima Productions. At the Metal Gear Solid 25th Anniversary event in Japan, series creator Hideo Kojima was joined by Hollywood producer Avi Arad, who has worked on The Amazing Spider-Man and many other recent Marvel films. Now, he'll take his hand at producing a Metal Gear Solid film.
"For many years I fought to bring comics to theaters -- and video games are the comics of today," Arad said. "We will take our time and tell the story with all the nuances, ideology, cautionary tales needed."
Hideo mentioned Christopher Nolan, Hugh Jackman, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck among people he would like to cast for the film. For now though, it all seems like a pipe dream with no director or screenwriter attached. The ball is rolling though. Hopefully it's going in the right direction.view full story + comments

A couple months back, Wired offered readers some insight into Microsoft's failure to get a Halo movie off the ground. The original article was an excerpt from Generation Xbox: How Video Games Invaded Hollywood, by Total Film and EDGE writer Jamie Russell. Released on April 10, it chronicles the gradual convergence of Hollywood and the games industry, and it's a must-read for anyone fascinated by videogame history or the symbiotic relationship between two seemingly competing forms of entertainment.
Your first thought may be that the book only discusses the many failed, sometimes semi-successful attempts at videogame-based films, as in the Halo case above. While Generation Xbox does indeed detail many such endeavors, it chiefly focuses on the long road gaming has marched to be accepted as a legitimate storytelling medium. Along the way, technologies and concepts born from gameing have influenced film and vice versa.
I could have written a post about this sooner, but I wanted to carefully read through and absorb all it had to offer. I'd like to tease the book some more, if you care to listen.view full story + comments

I came this close to interviewing the creators of Indie Game: The Movie James Swirsky and Lisanne Pajot, alongside a couple of the subjects of the film, Tommy Refenes and Edmund McMillen of Team Meat. I was nervous and tired, but really excited to talk to all of them as I think they are really great. I'm not just saying that because I am in the movie for two seconds and because there is a level called Destructoid in Super Meat Boy. I'm saying that because these people really are great!
Sadly, there were technical problems that erased about 45 minutes of the interview, leaving us to start this video with Edmund McMillen half way finished with answering a question. The question was about what it was like to be the subject of a documentary that may go on to be seen by millions. Then there were the sudden appearances of the star of original Indie Game: The Movie short subject film and Aquaria developer Alec Holowaka, only to have him suddenly disappear, unrecorded and unloved (sorry Alec!). Then there was the fact that this was actually Allistair Pinsof's interview in the first place, and I was really just there for... moral support?
I'm actually not really sure why I was there.
Anyway, I'm sad that I didn't to as well in this interview as I had hoped, but I'm really, really grateful that I had the opportunity to be involved it at all. I hope you feel the same when you watch it.view full story + comments

Solay Conde Casafranca
Country: Peru
Trips run: Various
What is your travel experience/background?
I did some travelling in South America two years ago. I went to Bolivia and last year I went to Chile. That was great fun, I took my first skiing lessons there, I really loved it.
How long have you been leading trips?
I have been leading trips for The Adventure Company for three years.
What is your favourite activity or event on the trips you lead?
My favourite activity is sharing with my groups every single moment, to make them feel like family.
What is the best thing about your job?
The best thing about my job is leading groups, I am doing things that I really like, I really enjoy travelling, sharing my culture with people, making friends from all over the world and being away from civilisation.
What is the funniest thing that has ever happened on a tour?
In Aguas Calientes Town another tour leader and I got involved in a political meeting thanks to our clients. What they did was to carry us on their shoulders around the square. that was really funny, but embrassing at the same time.
In your mind, what is the best place to visit in your country?
I think there are many good places to visit in Peru and the most beautiful are Cusco and Machu Picchu because of the culture, history and the beautiful landscape.
In your mind, what is the most interesting custom in your country?
I think the most interesting custom in my country is the sun festival or the Inty Raymi and the Corpus Christi.
In your mind what is the most important phrase to know?
PMA (Positive Mental Attitude). That one helps me alot with my groups.
In your mind, when is the best time to visit and why?
In my opinion the best time to visit is in between seasons, April - May and September - December. This is because at these times of year we don't have extreme weather like we have in the dry season and wet season. It's not very busy either.
In your mind, what are the most important items to pack for your tour?
A good sleeping bag, roll mat or therma-rest, down jacket, power drinks powders, extra clothes for the last day in Machu Picchu, hiking boots, trainers and sandals, spare batteries, knee supports, walking sticks, thermals and a good day sack.
How would you describe your experience?
To be a tour leader for The Adventure Company is one of the most important things in my life, because it gives me the opportunity to share my culture with the rest of the world and to be in contact with others. I am sure people can get the information from different guide books, but to get the information from a local guide is very different.
Visiting Machu Picchu every time is a different but amazing experience, seeing how our clients are so happy.
Can you give us an interesting fact about your region?
Cusco is a very interesting city because it is a multicultural place. There is a mix of cultures, religions and people.

Rafael Toral Space Elements, Vol. 1
- Words: Joe Colly
- Label: Staubgold
- XLR8R Rating: 6/10
Known mostly for his innovative guitar compositions in the '90s that turned MBV squeals to liquid and foreshadowed the atmospheric electronic work of acts like Pole and Oval, Portuguese-born Rafael Toral has, over the years, moved toward a curatorial role amongst avant-garde experimenters. Recorded for his Space Program series, Space Elements, Vol. 1 finds Toral shaping tracks around a guest contributors' chosen instrument; "I.I," for instance, erects a moaning ambient passage behind cellist Rute Praça's atonal wails. Recalling free-jazz structures, the record's seven tracks investigate the space between sounds, exploring the role of silence in music. But it favors high concept over melody (or "songs," even), and Space Elements is far more interesting than it is listenable.

Video: Broken goalposts cause lengthy delay in Africa Nations Cup game between Algeria and Togo
Algeria and Togo's Africa Cup of Nations match was held up for more than 15 minutes after the Togolese goalposts were broken by Algeria midfielder Adlene Guedioura.
With Algeria trailing 1-0 with just four minutes of normal time remaining, Guedioura attempted to meet a cross but crashed into the netting, dislodging the left-hand post.
The referee called a halt to proceedings and a long delay ensued while officials at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium tried to mend the goalposts.

Pieps Freeride Avalanche Beacon
While the size of this beast can compensate for lack of multiple antennae, nothing compensate for flimsiness of an on/off switch.
First, the way switch is design, it will definitely turn on when you do not want it on (in backpack, car trunk, etc). On the other hand it will never turn off by itself, but I am sure one can design the switch that works both way.
Second, switch broke after one day touring. It was in on position, but beacon was not transmitting. This is the worst you can expect from the beacon.
I returned the item, and ordered a replacement. Hopefully this is just a random glitch with my unlucky unit.

'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' Critic Reviews
MovieWeb: 31 reviews
Rotten Tomatoes: 220 reviews
Julian Roman MovieWeb (Top Critic)50Even with a stellar cast and proven director, it's another banal exercise in video game adaptations.
Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)67As sword-and-sandal fantasy movies based on videogames and starring a buffed-up Jake Gyllenhaal go, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time goes pretty well.
Manohla Dargis New York Times (Top Critic)50As usual, the talent in Prince of Persia is generally top notch -- from the cinematographer John Seale to the parkour expert David Belle -- but the ingredients have been masticated so heavily the results are mush.
Andrew Pulver Guardian [UK] (Top Critic)40So convoluted that its protagonists have to regularly stop and shout out what "must" be done to ensure all the 10-year-olds in the audience don't get hopelessly confused.
Claudia Puig USA Today (Top Critic)50The story unfolds with little regard for subtlety, and wisecracks are what pass for humor. When a gaggle of gangly ostriches offers one of the biggest laughs, wit clearly is at a premium.
Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post (Top Critic)50Although Prince of Persia stimulates the circulatory and nervous systems, it engages none of the higher faculties of game play. Like, say, hand-eye coordination and map-reading skills. It's a frenetic yet passive experience.
Ty Burr Boston Globe (Top Critic)50You've seen Lord of the Rings? Here's the CVS brand.
Nick Schager Village Voice (Top Critic)Scraps of moderately inspired eye candy ... remain sparse and incapable of lending weight to such cash-my-paycheck-dammit material.
Joe Neumaier New York Daily News (Top Critic)20A lot of action flicks are examples of mediocrity, but a truly terrible action movie, one that shows how not to do things at every turn, is a rare thing. Perhaps this was the true destiny of Prince of Persia.
Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal (Top Critic)Prince of Persia, a movie born of a video game, is at war with itself, and the bad guys win.
Amy Biancolli Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)50A spectacularly silly video-game adaptation about a Fresh Prince of Gel Hair who runs around the desert with a magic dagger, a curious version of Alfred Molina and some hoity-toity chick who never breaks a sweat. It's sort of pointless.
Manuel Mendoza Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)80Don't think too much about its main prop and plot device -- a magic sword that can turn back the clock and change history -- and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a fun ride.
Lisa Kennedy Denver Post (Top Critic)63It's not a classic, but it's sturdy enough, thanks to Gyllenhaal and a sly and grousing turn by Alfred Molina as Sheikh Amar, a scoundrel with a heart of gold -- or at least, a ticker very interested in riches.
James Rocchi MSN Movies (Top Critic)60I had fun watching all of the claptrap unfold -- or, perhaps, more than I've had at other recent big-screen spectacles, so perhaps it's only the baseness of its peers that makes this "Prince" seem even slightly regal.
David Denby New Yorker (Top Critic)Prince of Persia is meant purely as light entertainment, but the way it draws on layers of junk is depressing.
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)50The two leads are not inspired. Jake Gyllenhaal could make the cover of a muscle mag, but he plays Dastan as if harboring Spider-Man's doubts and insecurities. I recall Gemma Arterton as resembling a gorgeous still photo in a cosmetics ad.
Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)63It's sort of fun, certainly more so than the National Treasure pictures, as well as less manic (a little less) than the recent Mummy films.
J. R. Jones Chicago Reader (Top Critic)Disposable family entertainment.
Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)50They have plans for a sequel. A franchise, even. But there's no reason on Earth, or anywhere, for Prince of Persia 2.
Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)38Prince of Persia will inspire filmmakers for years to come. They will watch it and say, "What a mess. I can do better."
Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)25This movie is little more than a big noise bomb with jerky movements attached.
Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic (Top Critic)50It's meant to be fun, not work, but the plot is so loosely constructed it takes a lot of effort to piece things together. Better just to wait for Jake to mow down more bad guys and hit reset. Or, ahem, wait till the end.
Leslie Felperin Variety (Top Critic)Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is silky to the touch, but slips from the mind all too easily.
Lou Lumenick New York Post (Top Critic)50Prince of Persia got the go-ahead from an administration at Disney that was sent on its way last year. I wouldn't be surprised if their successors at the Mouse House wish they had a magic dagger that would allow them to go back and erase this movie.
Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)63A ditzy film that offers more evidence that good actors, good action and one-liners don't solve the one thing missing in every movie video game adaptation -- a story that makes sense.

Arrest of Abortionist Kermit Gosnell Reveals House of Horrors Built by Roe Comments
There are times when the truth concerning what actually happens in every procured abortion becomes obvious and the Nation is shaken out of its complacency. Perhaps the House of Horrors found in Philadelphia will be one of those moments. What was hidden is now being revealed. The truth is what "Doctor" Gosnell did is no different than what is done in every procured abortion. The only difference is that it is hidden from view. Continue Reading

@Lee: You are obviously completely ignorant of the fact that abortion in this country is completely legal through ALL NINE MONTHS of pregnancy UP UNTIL THE DAY OF BIRTH!!! The companion decision to Roe, called DOE v. BOLTON, was handed down by the Supreme Court on the same day, allowing abortion at any time "for the health of the mother" and defined "health" so broadly that there are virtually no restrictions.
3 years ago
Vance, your comments about the scanty attendance at a Pro Life Mass are sadly right on. Some Knights actually had yard signs supporting the most pro abortion candidate in our history. The discouragement at seeing this is like a punch in the gut and sends one reeling. Why???
I've begun to think it's because the political connection is stronger than the spiritual connection. Does anyone think about the value of a soul anymore? When will we hear more than just some piddly comments from the clergy regarding the right to life? Why must we tiptoe around this issue in order to avoid "offending" someone?
What about the offense to God? How about calling sin, SIN?
How on earth does the truth get through?
A recent pro life event on Church property was reduced in it's scope when all signs and banners were ordered removed by the pastor. It's almost unbelievable! Yes, I know the truth hurts, but like a infected organ, unless it is exposed, the infection continues to spread nd the body is weakened, and in some cases loses it's life.
The signs and pictures may save the lives of babies, and the souls of mothers and fathers. What on earth would cause a pastor to block the truth?
I guess people don't want to be jolted out of their comfort zone. Perhaps that is why there is such animosity towards those who work to promote life. I would venture that much of the blame lies in the promotion of the infectious "liberation theology" and those who subscribe to that idealogy.

Let us pray for the conversion of all those who participate in the heinous business of abortion and pray for its peaceful ending.

I want to thank Deacon Fournier and the folks at Catholic Online for allowing an open conversation on this very controversial subject. It may be helpful for those surprised by pro-choice comments on this particular site that the public is evenly divided on permitting abortion, with only about 25% believing that abortion should be restricted under all circumstances. That poll is here: http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm

James - I will pray for you, that you find once again the fullness of the Truth that exists in Catholic moral teaching. I was also a "lapsed" Catholic, lukewarm in my faith and steadfastly opposed to the Church's teachings on the sanctity of life. This was because I was trying to live life on my own terms and to justify my own sins. I knew deep down that, when it came to choosing an abortion, there but for the grace of God went I. I now thank God for the good people in my life who lovingly led me to a "reversion" to the fullness of the Catholic faith. Now I pray fort he unborn and their mothers outside a local abortion clinic - if you had told me 15 years ago that I'd be doing that one day, I would have laughed in your face. God does work in mysterious ways. As far as having "human attributes", I think a very scientific response to that is the fact that even a human zygote has "human attributes", because that is how a human being starts its process of growth - as a one-celled organism with human DNA. It may not have the warm, fuzzy "personal" attributes that we find so endearing and fascinating in more developed babies, but all growth is on a continuum - I look very different now than I did when I was a newborn, and have more abilities, but I am no more human, because a human newborn isn't supposed to be able to walk, talk, reason, etc. In the same way, a one-celled human isn't supposed to feel, move, etc. - but these things will happen over time, so long as nothing interferes. It's all there, in all its miraculous beauty. And that is the essence of what we're talking about. God bless.

Reading the defenders of abortion and their hollow arguments is horrifying. It displays an astounding sense of inhumanity and how callous they have become. I was a living human being the minute I was conceived and God decreed I be allowed to live until He decides otherwise. No one has authority to take away life especially that of an innocent defenceless baby in its mother's womb. This is Murder Most Foul committed by thoroughly evil people. No matter how loud you holler, you Merchants of Death, soon you will stand before your Maker and all those babies you have murdered will be there as your accusers. Thank you, Jennifer for your wonderful comments. But Satan's Agents cannot hear you but let us all have a heart. God is not amused by what is going on and He will soon act. America, and any other country that has sanctioned the holocaust of unborn babies and euthanasia will pay dearly. In the meantime,let us all pray very hard for these misguided proponents of the Hitler philosophy of annihilation of the "unwanted".

I'm glad James Miller showed up on this website. Thanks Jim. James is a friendly reminder that the Liberal Establishment has successfully created millions of James Miller's. James says that he is a Lapsed Catholic and that's ashame BUT there are millions of Catholics who think like James who attend Sunday Mass regularly. This evening of this writing, I attended a Pro-Life Mass offered by our Bishop. It was sparsely attended. I am a Knight of Columbus and there were only three of us out of a 150 members who attended. The Death Culture of the Liberal Establishment has made deep inroads in our own church. I know why many of our Knights didn't show up to the Pro-Life Mass. These are hard core Democrat party obedient followers. They are Democrats first and Catholics second. This is why we have Kermit Gosnells'

James Miller - Scientists are near universal in their agreement that life begins at conception. Encoded DNA results in a human being breathing and feeding on its own. The problem with the logic of your meta-argument is that you attempt to value life based on intelligence, which is relatively arbitrary criteria. Based on what you say, should we work like heck to keep all the people whose IQ is above 140 alive and neglect those whose IQ falls below 90? I guess the people below 90 have nothing to contribute to society? It is a very slippery slope and one used by death panels to justify euthanasia as well as repugnant Princeton University professors who attempt to justify why severely disabled people don't have the right to live. If all of life is sacred and life does begin at conception, then, abortion is murder. Pure and simple. We pro-life people have been beaten into political submission by pro-abortionist spin doctors that forbid us from using the word murder and claim that abortion is really about the mother's health and well-being. Well, here is a news flash for them. I know alot of women and most of them would say that the antics of their teenage children have caused them far greater stress and physical ailment than any pregnancy or fetus did. Will those same pro-abortionists say it is justified to murder teenage children? I fear the answer.
CommonSense - Deacon Fournier is discussing the climate that 38 years of Roe created, not conditions in other countries, so, let's not mix apples and oranges. Deacon Fournier is spot on in his opinion as the Roe enthusiasts have characterized abortion as both rare and necessary for the mother's health. Non-profit studies have shown that 41% of 2009 pregnancies in NYC ended in abortion. I fail to see how anyone can characterize that as rare. Further, NARAL and NOW won't budge on partial birth abortion even though the vast majority of the OB/Gyn community say that they are not necessary for women's health. Please, let's not give creedance to those tired lies anymore. The wide-reaching Roe decision is a moral disgrace with no legal or constitution basis. Gosnell is a predictable outgrowth of it.
