Album Rating: 4.0huge bro. massive like
Album Rating: 4.5This album is so good son.
Album Rating: 2.0I just do not like this album. The vocals flow so much differently than they do on Juturna and On Letting Go, and frankly I do not enjoy them
finally got around to listening to this and its awesome so far. Im only two songs deep.
Album Rating: 3.5Shocking how much better on letting go is
Digging: BT - ESCM
wha dude olg is their worst
Album Rating: 3.5Lol how can anyone possibly think that. It's one of those opinions that I just can't understand. This is so generic compared to on letting go. The guitar tones and overall atmosphere of the album make it so good, and it doesn't contain lame ass songs like frozen creek
Album Rating: 4.5Juturna < (barely) On Letting Go
Album Rating: 3.5Not even close for me, although juturna has in fear and faith which is one of their best
Album Rating: 4.0
and it doesn't contain lame ass songs like frozen creek
Album Rating: 4.5Great fucking song and album
Idk Spirit is probably the best though
tbh ur the only people that ive heard say that OLG is the best it's usually either juturna or this so
ur opinion is as baffling to me as mine is to u
Album Rating: 4.5might see these guys with tera melos!
oh and maybe title fight
Album Rating: 4.0this is a pretty good fall album
Digging: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Piano Concerto No. 1 in B? Minor
Album Rating: 4.0Been a while since I listened to this, maybe I'll jam later since a new album is coming.
Album Rating: 4.0yea i haven't jammed this in over a year but there's some great stuff on here
used to bump this erryday, gotta re-jam soon. GET OUUUUUUUUUUT
Album Rating: 4.0Frozen Creek is awesome.
Album Rating: 4.5Juturna > this > OLG > Violent Waves
Digging: Dendritic Arbor - Romantic Love
Album Rating: 2.0I had no idea people here gagged on this album so much. I don't get it in the slightest - I loved the first two, but this is
beyond bland and formulaic. Every song has a huge, boring, hooky chorus, the interesting guitar arrangements and
atmospheres are absent and Anthony sounds absolutely terrible here… the only good tune is Fever Dreams, and Atlantic
almost asked them to removed that song from the record since it's the only one without a big chorus hook. There's a
reason they only made one album with Atlantic… this is clearly their weakest album by a very wide margin.

In the wake of recent inner-Maxwell-Institute politics (and, sometimes, partially because I've sharply decreased my involvement with message boards over the past year and a half or so), a few critics have claimed that I've been altogether silenced. And a few of those claim, quite falsely, that I was silenced at the direct order of the leaders of my church.
Well, I haven't been silenced at all. Not even close.
And one evidence of that is my continuing weekly column for the Deseret News. Here's today's installment:
For that matter, does this blog look like "silence"?
Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.

Plot Summary:
Based on the award-winning novel by Peter Cameron. "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You" is a funny and tender film about James Sveck (Regbo), a vulnerable teenager with a deep appreciation for the world and no idea how to live in it. James is the child of divorced parents living in Manhattan (Harden and Gallagher). While his estranged parents may be better served examining their own lives, they seem more content conspiring to guide him in a more "normal" direction. James, however, rejects all the assumptions that govern the adult world around him, including the expectation that he will go college in the fall. Articulate, sensitive, and cynical, he would much prefer to move to an old house in the country and spend his life reading books and learning long forgotten trades.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
This beautiful property is in a village on the North Antrim Coast. It is walking distance to the Giants Causeway and close to the famous Bushmills distillery.
All rooms have laminate flooring so there is no need to worry about bringing sand in from the beaches, there is a secluded patio at the rear where you can spend the evening having a barbecue.
Set in a quiet location it is a few minutes walk from a sandy beach where you can enjoy surfing and swimming, the Bush river where you can enjoy fishing, and a nine hole golf course.
The beaches and golf courses in this area are famous, with Royal Portrush having two challenging championship courses.
If motorbikes are your passion we are only a few miles from the route of the famous Northwest 200 road races which are normally held in May.
The perfect base for exploring the Glens of Antrim, hiking, fishing and golf ... or for a relaxing break, the Cozy Nook is perfect for all your needs.
Keywords: House
We enjoyed our week at the Cozy Nook, located in a quiet neighborhood full of beautiful views and within a short walk to the beach! We were fortunate to enjoy the newly renovated home, as the kitchen and bath have been totally redone and the bedrooms have been redecorated as well. Trevor and Maureen were great! Excellent communication on the front end of our visit and great follow up upon our return home. As an example, the Harveys knew were were arriving late on Sunday and they left us some food some food so we wouldn't starve! Very thoughtful and were avaiable to answer our late night call on a simple door lock issue. Very wonderful hosts.
The home was very clean and well described in the listing. The extras (wireless and dish tv) were appreciated as well. We would definitely recommend this listing to anyone and would stay here again.
We enjoyed the Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-rede bridge, Portrush shopping and pubs, Dunluce Castle, Bushmills Distillery and village, just the walks at PortBallintrae beach.
We hope others take advantage of this listing!
This has probably been one of the best holiday stays our family has ever had. The house was immaculate and had every amenity we could need or even imagine. The only thing better than the house was the service we received from the owners. From helping secure a rental car and travel advice, to fulfilling even our smallest requests, they were willing and eager to help out. They really made us feel like royalty and we will definitely be back!
A lovely bungalow with everything you could possibly need. Good, central location. Excellent communication both before and after visit.
I would definitely recommend,

The first episode of BANGERS for the new season sees us flip summer the bird and dive full on into winter with a show filled with awesome snowboarding and freeskiing that's guaranteed to have you pumped for opening day. In this latest instalment, we take you on an adrenaline-laced global rollercoaster of a ride, with action from Austria, New Zealand, Chile and Switzerland taking centre stage. Up first is one of the greatest glacier openings in Europe – the MOREBOARDS Stubai Premiere – where the lure of stellar riding under perfect bluebird skies draw swarms of riders to the Stubai glacier for a weekend of shredding, product testing and partying. From there we head straight down under to Wanaka to hook up with Red Bull's team of world class riders and freeskiers who all came together to push the limits of freestyle riding way out there at their annual Performance Training Camp. Then it's straight to Valle Nevado where America and Europe's heaviest freeriders face off to charge insane lines at the Swatch Skiers' Cup, followed by a visit to Montafon where Nike created the biggest, most creative, most insane snowboard park ever seen for a select few Ams and their Pro team to tear to pieces. Finally we finish off by dropping in on the festival of multi-sport madness that pitches up in Zurich every year for a weekend of insanity – the infamous Freestyle.CH. And if that's not enough, we also take a look at two of this winter's hottest movie releases: Illuminati Films' Lost and Found and the Candide Thovex spectacular, Few Words.

New 'condor cam' captures rare giant bird in wild
Tuesday - 10/22/2013, 2:50pm EDT
BIG SUR, Calif. (AP) -- A solar-powered "condor cam" in the hills of Big Sur, on the Central California coast, allows the public to view North America's largest birds from the comfort of home.
The San Jose Mercury News reports (http://bit.ly/1a9WmJh ) the live-streaming camera went online Monday.
It already has captured video of the birds feeding and preening in the wild. There are only about 430 of the massive, vulture-like birds alive in the world today.
Kelly Sorenson, executive director of Ventana Wildlife Society, says the camera is aimed at a main feeding area, and allows scientists to zoom in on each bird so they can identify them.
Like the panda-cam at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., the condor cam uses inexpensive video technology to help the public interact with wildlife.
The camera can be found at www.ventanaws.org.

Obama Finally Meets with ISIS Hostage Sotloff's Family, 9 Months after Beheading
"President Obama met today with the family of Steven Sotloff — one of the American journalists brutally beheaded by ISIS last year," ABC News reported Thursday. "The White House announced that Obama met with Art and Shirley Sotloff during his trip to Miami. The Sotloffs live in Florida, so the White House says it was 'an appropriate occasion for the president to visit with them.'"

Our Rainbow Baby
Baby Cassandra decided to make her debut a week early, at 3:36pm on Thursday, April 3rd. She was 7lbs, 5oz. She's a wonderful addition to our family, and we're so blessed to have her!
She's a cuddle bug, quiet and content as long as she's in someone's arms. Thankfully she doesn't seem to care who holds her, which makes it easy for me to hand her off when I need a break, but if I'm at home by myself and try to lay her down to get something done, I have 5 or 10 minutes max before she'll cry to be picked up again. Cassie loves looking at faces, so her big sisters like to help out by hovering over her and cooing, or jingling baby toys over her head to look at. When that doesn't work, I'll wear her in a sling, which she finds soothing. It's a challenge learning once again how to get things done with older children and a baby in tow, but we're managing.
Blogging continues to take a back seat to mothering, homeschooling, and leading an American Heritage Girls troop, but I continue to regularly post on the Oregon Tea Party Facebook page, so be sure to follow it to stay informed.
Thank you!
Waiting For Our Rainbow Baby
I want to thank my patient readers as I have taken a hiatus from blogging during this pregnancy.
It's been a long 9 months of nausea, exhaustion, hope, fear and anticipation. Now our rainbow baby is due any time, and I can hardly believe I'll actually get to hold her in my arms.
I hadn't originally intended to suspend my blog, but with so many other demands on my body, energy and sanity during this period, something had to give. I've spent the past several months focused on staying rested and healthy in the midst of homeschooling my older three children, acting as Troop Coordinator for our local American Heritage Girls troop, and volunteering for the Oregon Tea Party.
These days my political activism is focused primarily on running the Oregon Tea Party Facebook Page, so please "like" and follow my posts there. Then click "share" on the ones you find most important. It's a simple way to spread the word and make a difference.
One important note: Facebook is now hiding up to 97% of posts of from pages you "like" from your news feed, in an attempt to force those pages to pay for "promoted posts." So how do you get around Facebook censorship and make sure you don't miss anything? Hover your mouse over the "Liked" button on our page, and select "Get Notifications" and "Add to Interest Lists." That's it.
I don't know when I'll be able to take up blogging again, but in the meantime, thank you for your patience and support, and keep up the good fight in whatever sphere of influence you have!
To Tell Or Not To Tell
There's a tradition in our society that says it's not a good idea to tell people about your pregnancy until you're past the "safe mark" of 12 weeks, when the risk of miscarriage diminishes. The unspoken message is that miscarriage is best kept quiet. Nobody wants to know about the ones that didn't make it. In fact, our culture barely regards them as even human. That's why you hear statements like "thank goodness you weren't that far along," "don't worry, I'm sure you'll have another, " or "at least you have (your older children)," as if you'd lost a dream instead of a living child. These are things people would NEVER say to parents who'd lost an older child, but because of our culture's dismissive attitude towards unborn life, these children are viewed as less valuable. Their mothers are expected to grieve in private silence, if they are given permission to grieve at all.
For those who find themselves pregnant after losing a baby, we know there is no such thing as a "safe mark." We know that life is fragile, and that it can just as easily be lost after 12 weeks as before. There are no guarantees. We have lost our innocence…the ability to look at that little plus sign and instantly be filled with the joyful expectation of holding that little bundle in nine months. We walk a tightrope of joy and sorrow, hope and dread, knowing that the next appointment may bring the words that we fear most: "I'm sorry, I can't find a heartbeat."
Even though I never got to hold Autumn, Eden and Hope, they're still my babies. I'm still their mother. The only way I know to parent them is to honor their brief lives here on earth, and acknowledge that they are real children, now waiting in heaven for me. They weren't just blobs of tissue. They weren't just lines on a pregnancy test. They were precious, individual souls…and so is the one I carry now.
My last three babies didn't make it to the "safe zone" of 12 weeks. I live with the knowledge that there is a very real possibility that I won't get to meet this baby on this side of heaven, either. My children's lives, like my own, are in God's hands, and I have no control over them. But whatever the outcome, I have peace that God is in control, and I WILL meet my babies someday, although perhaps not as soon as I would hope. In the meantime, I best way I know to honor their lives is simply by acknowledging their presence. By recognizing that every life matters, no matter how brief.
So for now, I will partner with God in carrying this little life as long as He allows me to, and accept each day we have together as a gift.

Secret Service Shows Up At Man's House To Search, Question Him After Anti-Obama Tweet
This is the kind of stuff I used to read about in biographies of people who survived persecution in the Soviet Union and other communist countries. I can't believe it's happening here, and so many Americans are still asleep!
Warner Todd Huston writes at Mr. Conservative:
Remember when you lived in that America where you had freedom of expression? Well, it's easy to imagine that the old America doesn't exist any more with the story of the Secret Service agents that harassed a Twitter user because he dared criticize President Obama.
Tom Francois is an outspoken critic of President Obama on Twitter and has some 12 thousand followers that watch his every Tweet. (@Tom_Francois) But apparently his fans aren't the only ones hanging on his every Tweet.
As Tom found out, the Secret Service has blown in a "follow" to Tom's feed, too. But instead of laughing as Tom makes funny photoshopped, anti-Obama images and reveling in Obama's many scandals, the Secret Service was watching and making plans to come pounding at his door to harass him for his political opinions.
Harriet Baldwin at the Examiner has the details:
On April 11, 2013, he heard relentless pounding on his door shouts of "Police!" The officers introduced themselves as members of The Secret Service and asked if they could "take a look around."
Since Tom had nothing to hide (and he didn't want any return visits) – he complied fully with their request. He even signed a consent to search his premises AND an "Authorization To Review Medical and Mental Health Records!"
They asked Tom if he ever left his state or traveled to Washington, D.C.
One Agent asked Tom if he has any intentions of "whacking" the President." To which Tom replied- "Of course not. I wish him no harm. I disagree with his policies and actions and I make no bones about it. It's my First Amendment Right and I intend to exercise it."When I spoke to Tom he said, "Yes, I am EXTREMELY critical of Obama in my posts, but I never cross the line and threaten his being. EVER. It's just the idea of Obama's Secret Service intruding on my life when they knew I wasn't really a threat."
The Secret Service had a thick FBI file- filled with screenshots of hundreds of posts. Said Tom, "I flat out told them 'I have NEVER threatened Obama's life! Yes, I despise him as you can plainly see, but I have that right!' They actually ADMITTED and agreed with me that I hadn't threatened Obama."
They had run a background check and discovered that Tom legally owned two guns- and they asked to see them. Tom showed them his firearms. They asked, "Are they loaded?" Tom replied in the affirmative. "What good are guns if they aren't loaded?"
So why harass Tom? "The Secret Service officers claimed that "they were concerned that since I have a large Twitter following, and the things I said could be acted upon by some nut case out there! What the hell? They turned my life upside down for THAT?"
Tom didn't refuse the search because they just would have gone and gotten a warrant. "They would have proceeded to tear my house apart. No thanks. I have nothing to hide. They left empty-handed and my house is still intact."
When they left Tom's house, one Secret Service Agent 'advised'- "Keep in mind, if you step over the line, we'll come back for your guns."
After the "visit" to Tom, the Secret Service also visited Tom's 22 year old daughter- terrifying her and making her fear for her father's safety. She asked them what they were going to do with the information about her Dad. They said they were going to "turn it over to Eric Holder- he has the last word on what to do, if anything."
Notice that the raid on this innocent American came only four days before the Boston marathon bombing. While Islamic extremists were planning to kill people in Boston, the government was all worried about a Twitter user that made funny photoshopped pictures of Obama.
Is this America any more?

8th Grader Suspended, Arrested Over NRA T-Shirt Now Faces Year in Jail
8th Grader Suspended, Arrested Over NRA T-Shirt Now Faces $500 Fine and a Year in Jail
View on YouTube
Anybody think he'd be going through this if he'd been wearing a T-shirt promoting gun control (or another "politically correct" liberal cause)?
You might remember when we reported that a middle school student in West Virginia was suspended from school and arrested after refusing to remove an NRA t-shirt he was wearing.
At the time, the arrest almost seemed secondary to the actions that the school was taking, but now that arrest is the story that is front and center as prosecutors move forward in actually pursuing the charges against the student. To be honest, I really assumed that the charge (obstruction of an officer) would be dropped.
According to a report by WTRF the prosecuting attorney is moving forward with that charge and a judge is allowing the case to move forward. Fourteen year old Jared Marcum could face up to a $500 fine and up to a year in jail (we'll seriously hope that isn't a real possibility) if found guilty.
According to the report, the arresting officer alleges that when Jared refused to stop talking he hindered the officers ability to do his job and that is where the obstruction arrest came from. I'm guessing a 14 year old kid who felt intimidated was trying to explain himself, but let's throw him in jail for good measure.

Obama: Religious Schools Create 'Division, Fear, Resentment'
Funny…he wouldn't dare say that about Sunni and Shi'a Madrasas.
Jason Howerton reports at The Blaze:
President Barack Obama reportedly offended Catholics and Protestants during a speech he gave while in Northern Ireland for the G8 summit.
Speaking to about 2,000 young people, which included many Catholics, Obama seemingly argued that religious education can promote division and resentment.
"If towns remain divided—if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can't see ourselves in one another and fear or resentment are allowed to harden—that too encourages division and discourages cooperation," Obama said, according to the Scottish Catholic Observer.
Just two days before Obama made his comments, Archbishop Gerhard Mueller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, spoke to a crowd in Glasgow, Scotland. Mueller told his listeners that religious education upholds the dignity of the human person, and Catholic schools should promote "all that is good in the philosophies of societies and human culture." Mueller said that Catholic education is "a critical component of the Church."
In addition, Mueller advocated for an understanding of "Catholic" which includes the breadth of "all that is good in the philosophies of societies and human culture." The archbishop spoke of relativism as a threat to education because the objects of education—the true and the good—"stand in some way outside the person" and are transcendent.
"A danger in the relativism of modern society is the assumption that human freedom essentially entails creating one's own truth and moral good."
Mueller said that the implications of relativism "would lead to the breakdown of society… if pursued to their logical conclusion."
How ironic—and perhaps providential—that Archbishop Mueller spoke his faith-filled words in Scotland at about the same time President Obama spoke his words of sabotage in Ireland.
As is often the case, Obama begins his process of undermining faith, the Constitution—whatever—by speaking to young people, hoping to divide them from those who will hand down the traditions and the culture to them. In truth, it is Obama—not faith or the Church—who is the Great Divider, the promoter of class warfare, envy, racism, etc.

Fighting Through The Pain
When I was 8 weeks pregnant, I went with some friends to a 3-hour women's self defense seminar offered by a local Krav Maga studio. I put a name tag on my belly that said "baby" so nobody would grab me around the waist, and enjoyed every minute of it. They gave everyone a coupon for a month of free classes, but I didn't want to push it as my pregnancy progressed.
What I didn't know was that I was carrying twins, and they were already gone. Four weeks later, we buried them.
When the studio offered a summer special on classes, I decided to take them up on it. I've been wanting to learn self-defense for awhile and need to get the baby weight off. Though most people I know do Zumba, my mood right now is much more towards fighting than dancing.
During my first class the instructor told me, "you've got a lot of aggression and fight in you." No one has ever told me that before. I immediately knew it was coming from all the frustration of trying to fight something that can't be conquered. The only reason I was even able to take the class was because I was no longer pregnant. No matter how hard I try, I can't change that fact. I can't bring my babies back. Suddenly I was slammed by a wave of grief and anger. The lump in my throat strangled me far more than my partner's practice choke-hold.
The next day I argued with myself over what I had gotten myself into and whether I should go back. I hate it when my grief catches me off-guard in public, and was afraid of losing it in the middle of class. I forced myself to go back at the next available opportunity, knowing that if I didn't face the fear immediately, I would find an excuse never to return.
Towards the end of my second class they did a drill where they exhausted you and then had you fight off an attacker with pure instinct and adrenaline. I was ready to give up and the instructor and two other students kept telling me I could do it. It reminded me of being in labor, when I'd be convinced I couldn't go on and everyone around me would encourage me. But the difference was, there was a wonderful reward at the end of all that labor. And the last time I had been pushed to my limit like this, there had been no reward. Nobody to cheer me on. Just silence, and the remains of my babies to be buried. Another grief trigger. I managed to fight off my opponent but I couldn't stop the tears once the class was over. They probably thought I was nuts.
It's amazing how raw emotion rises to the surface when you're pushed to the limits. The ache in my muscles is nothing compared to the aching chasm in my heart, and no amount of Advil can touch it. Right now I'm faced with two choices: keep learning to swim in this ocean of grief, or allow myself to drown in it. I'm coming to terms with the fact that sometimes the only way to heal is simply to fight through the pain.

School Cuts Off Valedictorian's Mic, Threatens His Naval Academy Appointment For Mentioning God And Constitution In Speech
Valedictorian's mic cut off as he made impromptu speech about value of the constitution
View on YouTube
What happens when the star student dares to think for himself and speak from the heart instead of from a pre-approved script? The government-run school censorship brigade swings into action.
Jim Gibbs reports at the Burleson Star:
He was one of the most quiet and softspoken students of the Joshua High School graduating class, and what the valedictorian wasn't allowed to say at commencement exercises is making national news.
"Most people have never ever heard me speak much less see me smile," said Remington Reimer, as he addressed the large crowd gathered Thursday at Owl Stadium.
And then, the Burleson resident began what would have appeared to have been a traditional graduation speech – thanking his parents and naming special teachers that have helped him along the way and telling the crowd how proud he was of his class and how close they all were.
He discussed perseverance in life, and told fellow graduates its the finish that matters. He then told a story about a runner who finished a race with a broken leg. He added that, years from now, it wouldn't matter that he was valedictorian or first in his class but, rather, that he and his classmates finished the race and finished well.
Nice words. Nice kid. Another graduation day in America.
Then Reimer discussed his faith and thanked God for "sending His only son to die for me and the rest of the world."
Reimer, who has secured an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, talked about free speech and the U.S. Constitution and how that "yesterday, I was threatened with having the mic turned off and…"
And then the mic was turned off.
[…] Another Facebook posting emailed to the Burleson Star clarified what Reimer had said after the microphone was cut off:
"We are all fortunate to live in a country where we can express our beliefs, where our mics won't be turned off, as I have been threatened to be if I veer away from the school-censored speech I have just finished. Just as Jesus spoke out against the authority of the Pharisees and Sadducees, who tried to silence him, I will not have my freedom of speech taken away from me. And I urge you all to do the same. Do not let anyone take away your religious or Constitutional rights from you."
The crowd roared with enthusiasm and Reimer sat down.
Unfortunately, it didn't stop with censorship. Afterwards, the principle apparently threatened to put his future in jeopardy by disparaging his character to the Naval Academy, where he had been recently accepted:
A Texas high school principal threatened to sabotage a valedictorian's appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy after the student delivered a speech that referenced God and the U.S. Constitution, the boy's attorney alleges.
Hiram Sasser, director of litigation with the Liberty Institute, said Joshua High School principal Mick Cochran threatened to write a letter to the U.S. Naval Academy disparaging the character of Remington Reimer.
"It was intimidating having my high school principal threaten my future because I wanted to stand up for the Constitution and acknowledge my faith and not simply read a government approved speech," the teenager said.
Sasser is now representing the teenager and is calling for the Joshua Independent School District to issue a public statement exonerating him of any wrongdoing.
He said the speech was edited and reviewed by four different school officials – including an officer in the JROTC. Sasser said the censorship violated federal and state laws.
[…] The following day the principal met with Reimer's father and informed him "that he intended to punish Remington for his perceived misdeed."
"Specifically, he threatened to send a letter to the United States Naval Academy advising them that Remington has poor character or words to that effect," Sasser told Fox News.
After consulting with a school attorney, the principal temporarily retracted the threat, Sasser said.
"The principal said he wanted to try to ruin him for what he did – for talking about the Constitution and his faith," Sasser said. "I don't know if he's going to be able to continue to be the principal of that school."

Sebelius Forces Insurers Cover Planned Parenthood Services
How have we gotten to the point where government can force private companies to pay for controversial services like abortion from another private company? Whatever happened to the freedom to VOLUNTARILY decide which products and services you want to purchase, and from whom?
Dr. Susan Berry writes at Breitbart:
In a move that sends the message that her role is a powerful one, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius has required health insurers to include Planned Parenthood as an "essential community provider" along with other doctors and health facilities in their networks.
Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner (WE) reports that most of Planned Parenthood's 750 health and abortion clinics in the country will be covered by ObamaCare. Sebelius' command means that health insurers who wish to participate in the state health care exchanges must cover services by Planned Parenthood, as well as other "essential community providers," such as AIDS clinics, pain management facilities, and alternative medicine providers.
[…] Though ObamaCare is not, technically speaking, supposed to cover abortions, the fact that Planned Parenthood has always had significant support from Sebelius, and is already an important player in the "navigator system"–assisting insurance advisers in signing Americans up for the exchanges–is a real concern for Americans seeking limited government and those who are pro-life.
Tony Perkins observes at Life Site News:
Planned Parenthood, which she deems as an "essential community provider," is part of the long list of local organizations that insurers are required to partner with. (Others, Bedard says, include lesbian and gay centers, family planning clinics, and "holistic" centers.)"We've never covered these sorts of thing," a Wisconsin provider told Bedard. He, like most health care representatives, is probably horrified at the prospect of collaborating with an organization which (when it isn't lobbying for infanticide) is on trial for government fraud and botched abortions. Unfortunately for Americans, Sebelius — not Congress — decides what belongs in state exchanges. And if her past relationships are any indication, taxpayers are in for even more surprises when ObamaCare goes into effect January 1.
Planned Parenthood is a bully, using the power of the state to force those who disagree with their practices to buy their grisly product, anyway.
We The People have been negligent in allowing government to wield this unconstitutional power and groups like PP to manipulate it.

That means no more illegal wire-tapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war. No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient."
It would appear that his tune has changed since becoming president:

Ben Shapiro writes at Breitbart:
During his speech in San Jose, California on Friday, President Obama took one question from the press on national security monitoring of Americans. Without any sense of irony whatsoever in the aftermath of the IRS' targeting of conservatives, the administration's stonewalling on Benghazi, the Department of Justice's targeting of reporters, the Department of Health and Human Services' leveraging of private organizations for Obamacare public relations cash, and the Environmental Protection Agency's secret email addresses, Obama unloaded this line:
If people can't trust not only the executive branch but also don't trust Congress, and don't trust federal judges, to make sure that we're abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we're going to have some problems here.
Obama acknowledged that the U.S. government is collecting reams of phone records, including phone numbers and the duration of calls, but said this does not include listening to calls or gathering the names of callers.
"Nobody's listening to the content of people's phone calls," Obama said.
The Investors Business Daily editorial board opines:
Barack Obama is now not only following George Orwell's model in his newly uncovered domestic spying practices; he's copying one of the most shocking aspects of the dystopian society Orwell conjured: telling people the exact opposite of the truth with a straight face.
[…] When a president who promised "the most open and transparent administration in history" must now scramble and assure the country that "nobody is listening to your telephone calls," it exposes a grave breach of trust.
What's to worry about? It's not like they'd abuse this information to target political dissidents or anything.
We already know who Obama & Co. define as "terrorists," and they don't include the Boston Bombers or Ft. Hood Shooter.

Poll: Majority Of American Sheeple Support Government Violating Their 4th Amendment Rights
Somebody's been drinking too much Kool-Aid:
A poll released Monday shows that despite the uproar over the National Security Agency's newly leaked surveillance programs, a majority of Americans are fine with the agency's pervasive reach. Still, a sizable majority is opposed to the vast NSA surveillance net.
The snap poll comes courtesy of the Pew Research Center and the Washington Post. After asking 1,004 American adults for their opinions on NSA surveillance programs like the newly revealed tech-spying program PRISM, pollsters found that 56 percent of Americans have no objection.
Conor Friedersdorf at the Atlantic wants to know:
How is it tolerated by the American people?
That's the most pressing question. The civic negligence required to reach this point is the thing that most disappoints me about my fellow citizens, who ought to throw out every last member of Congress complicit in the metastasizing surveillance state. I am serious. Look up your representative. In a letter or phone call, demand they take a stand against this, on penalty of you voting against them in a primary or general.
That's how change happens when the president who promised it turns out to have lied.
We don't know if the federal government has a similar order for AT&T or any other carrier. Or if they're spying on Americans' emails as well. Why? That isn't the sort of thing President Obama thinks he needs to tell us, and Congress persists in giving him that latitude. Americans, who haven't been objecting to any of this in large numbers, aren't even demanding to know whether or not their government is assembling the most sophisticated surveillance state in human history.
Has fear of terrorism done this to us?
Whatever the cause, the current behavior of the American electorate does not befit a free people.

Pro-Life Congresswoman Shares That Her Unborn Baby Has Fatal Condition, Leftist Hate-Fest Ensues
Praying for Rep. Beutler and her husband, especially since she is now the target of hate mail from Lefty trolls who are reveling in her pain.
Steven Ertelt reports at Life News:
Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler, a pro-life Republican from Washington state, recently shared the sad news about her unborn baby and a potentially fatal diagnosis.
Beutler posted a message on Facebook saying her unborn child has been diagnosed with Potter's Syndrome, a condition which prevents the child's kidneys from developing properly and is typically fatal for the baby.
On May 1, Beutler, 34, announced that she and her husband, Daniel Beutler, were expecting their first baby this fall.
"We don't know what the future holds for our family, but we ask for your prayers and appreciate the privacy a family needs in such circumstances," Herrera Beutler wrote. "According to the medical information and advice we've received, I will be able to continue to balance the responsibilities of an expectant mother with serving as your representative in Congress."
"Our baby has a serious medical condition called Potter's Syndrome," Herrera Beutler announced Monday on Facebook. "We have had a second opinion and the medical diagnosis was consistent with the initial news: there is no medical solution available to us. We are praying for a miracle."
Unfortunately, "tolerant" leftist hatemongers have decided to unleash their venom on a suffering pregnant woman:
While many offered Beutler love and support, others took it as an opportunity to gloat or proclaim that the child should be aborted. Matthew Archbold, a writer for the National Catholic Register, collected some of the comments left at the Huffington Post and elsewhere. A few gems:
– Oh goody… and she's GOP…. let's all watch this one develop. Let's see if she follows the party line ….
–Abort the baby. Wait a few months. Get pregnant again. This is not a big deal.
– Why not be proactive and get an abortion?
– Sorry, prayers won't do a damn thing.
– She should just go to a Planned Parenthood and be done with "it", after all, it's not a human yet.
–I laugh at her in that her political ideology has her in a corner I would wish nobody in.
This sickening behavior – gloating over a baby's illness and her mother's pain – is more common than you might think.
[…] What motivates these people to abuse women who have chosen to carry to term despite a poor prenatal diagnosis? I strongly suspect that many of them have been involved in an abortion – or know they would want one in a similar situation. It angers them to see someone make a choice they didn't have the courage to make themselves. But it's impossible for any normal-thinking person to really know what motivates them.
Like all good sociopaths, the bullies try to shift blame on to the victims, saying they were "asking for" such treatment because of their political views. Since a pro-lifer would "force" women in her situation to give birth, she deserves to be shamed and harassed throughout her difficult pregnancy.
But anyone with a normal sense of compassion and empathy would say that's not just irrational. It's evil. Few things are more sociopathic than abusing a pregnant woman carrying a terminally ill child – no matter what her political affiliation.

More Americans Choosing Homeschooling Than Enrolling In Government Schools
I can't imagine why (besides wanting to avoid sexually explicit indoctrination, gun hysteria, censorship of religious expression, anti-patriotism, Obama worship and Marxist propaganda)!
Dr. Susan Berry writes at Breitbart:
As dissatisfaction with the U.S. public school system grows, apparently so has the appeal of homeschooling. Educational researchers, in fact, are expecting a surge in the number of students educated at home by their parents over the next ten years, as more parents reject public schools.
A recent report in Education News states that, since 1999, the number of children who are homeschooled has increased by 75%. Though homeschooled children represent only 4% of all school-age children nationwide, the number of children whose parents choose to educate them at home rather than a traditional academic setting is growing seven times faster than the number of children enrolling in grades K-12 every year.
As homeschooling has become increasingly popular, common myths that have long been associated with the practice of homeschooling have been debunked.
Any concerns about the quality of education children receive by their parents can be put to rest by the consistently high placement of homeschooled students on standardized assessment exams. […]
Similarly, the common myth that homeschoolers "miss out" on so-called "socialization opportunities," often thought to be a vital aspect of traditional academic settings, has proven to be without merit. According to the National Home Education Research Institute survey, homeschoolers tend to be more socially engaged than their peers and demonstrate "healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood."

What Students Will Read Under Common Core: Sexually Explicit Novels, Government Memos
"Common Core" will force schools to teach kids only what they need to know to pass standardized tests. Much of the content is worthless at best and at worst, highly inappropriate for kids.
Robby Soave gives us an overview at The Daily Caller:
Common Core's English standards stress nonfiction over literature. By grade 12, 70 percent of what students read should be informational rather than literary. Supporters of the guidelines say an increased focus on informational texts will better prepare kids for post-college employment.
Many of these nonfiction texts come from government websites and promote the findings of various government agencies.
Some might find the texts a bit dry. (And that's without including "Kenya's Long Dry Season.")
Here are a few recommended informational texts.
- "Invasive Plant Inventory," by the California Invasive Plant Council. This is just a list of invasive plant species in California.
- "Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management," by the U.S. General Services Administration. The executive order was made under President Bush's administration, and calls for efficiency and sustainability to be driving motivations in resource management.
- "Recommended Levels of Insulation," by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. While assuredly a fascinating read, The DC News Foundation was unable to review "Recommended Levels of Insulation," because the website was hacked.
- "FedViews," by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. This report from 2009 explains that the federal stimulus helped to stabilize the economy and asserts that there is no link between deficit spending and inflation.
Good-bye, Tom Sawyer! Hello, "Recommended Levels of Insulation." Or, if you prefer, Marxism mixed with soft porn:
I must admit that I would have been too embarrassed to teach Julia Alvarez's sexually explicit novel, In the Time of the Butterflies, to the college students I have taught for over twenty years, much less to ninth- and tenth-graders, as many Georgia high school teachers have been instructed to do.
Some high school teachers also have a problem with its overtly feminist and leftist-leaning ideology. The men are portrayed as weak drunkards, continually cheating on their wives.
For example, there is a drunken New Year's celebration of "the triumphant announcement. Batista had fled! Fidel, his brother Raul, and Ernesto they call Che had entered Havana and liberated the country." No indication in the novel that Fidel and Raul turned out to be tyrants, or Che a mass murderer.
The novel has explicit descriptions of masturbation and intercourse, but I'm too embarrassed to quote those.
The novel is taken straight from Common Core's "Text Exemplars" for ninth and tenth grades. Although the "exemplars" are officially intended to be suggested readings, educrats take the suggestions literally. They know that they have to prepare students for the national tests being rolled out in 2014/2015.
[…] Even my question in private to the school board member (who claimed to love "literature") about the fact that informational texts like EPA directives will be replacing a large percentage of literary works was met with the retort, "So how many times do you use Beowulf? Graduates need to learn how to read informational texts in order to be able to read instructions at work."
No doubt, high school students sharing his opinion would rather read Alvarez's unchallenging polemical and titillating prose than Beowulf or Paradise Lost. No doubt, her novel will bring them up to speed on politically correct figures and sex tips. The accompanying EPA directives will teach them how to scan boring texts for required instructions at their "21st century" jobs where they will do tasks that require little concentration or independent thought.

Planned Parenthood Partners With Oregon Education Department To Teach Porn, Promiscuity To Teens
What are your teens being taught in Oregon schools?
Rita Diller reports at Life Site News:
When I walked into this year's Oregon Adolescent Sexuality Conference in Seaside, Oregon, one of the first things I encountered was a table manned by three young teen boys. On the table was a collage that included many depictions of totally bare female genitalia—obviously pornographic and, one would think, illegal.
The collage included a drawing of a woman circa 1950 declaring, in the most base terms, what a woman's private parts should smell like. It also included a drawing of a pigtailed little girl riding on a tricycle with the word "Vagina!" written above her, and another drawing of a young female child standing by a rose, with the word "Vagina" written below her on a chalkboard.
"Everyone can come inside" are the words visible along the outer edge of the piece, which appeared to be a decoupaged plate.
The boys smiled nervously as hordes of teens, who had arrived for what some described as a field trip, passed the display table. Planned Parenthood was on the steering committee of this conference.
The booth belonged to Youth for Education and Prevention of Sexual Assault (YEPSA), a supposedly teen-led initiative from Eugene, Oregon. At a booth whose stated mission was the prevention of sexual assault, I could only wonder why the teen boys would be manning a table containing graphic pictures of female genitalia, suggesting that "everyone can come inside" a pigtailed little girl on a tricycle.
With that question in mind, I checked on the Internet and found that the group puts on performances, the first of which was The Vagina Monologues. The students stated they just finished a run of a play that they wrote about the life struggles of a transgendered woman. They have a transgender education panel coming up, and they do art shows around teen sexuality and gender.
Day two of the conference found me very reluctantly attending a workshop led by YEPSA entitled "You Say Porn, I Say Porn!"
The program description did not even begin to touch the stark reality of the session. "To porn or not to porn, that is the question. YEPSA will be leading the masses through the very exciting world of pornography." The session was held in a large room, filled with teens and adults. It started with a soft porn video commercial.
About 10 teen facilitators lined up across the front of the room and introduced themselves. They gave their names and the pronoun they prefer ("I prefer 'she,'" "I don't have a preference but I identify as male," etc.). This was in keeping with a theory emphasized over and over at the conference—that gender is fluid and is determined only by the person in question and how that person feels at that particular time about his or her gender. In others words, biology has nothing to do with gender.
[…] This is just a sampling of the plan that Planned Parenthood has for our teens. Check out our website at www.stopp.org, where I will be writing for several weeks on the unbelievably inappropriate materials and scenarios that were presented at this conference.
Oregon Education Department "sexuality education expert" Brad Victor prides himself on the fact that Oregon has the "most progressive sex education laws in the nation," and brags about how he easily slid Oregon's explicit Administrative Rule under the radar as a consent item at the state board level. The plan is that other states will follow suit. Many are already deeply embroiled in Planned Parenthood's sex education. Those who are not embroiled are targeted.
But as we pointed out in our last edition of The Wednesday STOPP Report, Brad Victor also demonstrated that if parents will speak out at every level, sex education can be easily derailed in a school district—even one where the programs are already firmly in place. The sooner parents start their challenges, however, the better.
Jim Sedlak's book Parent Power!! is available free of charge on our website. It is a brilliant instructional tool that lays out the plan that parents can follow to get Planned Parenthood out of local schools. It is a plan that has been proven to work time and time again when parents follow it. Read Jim's book today and take action!
If you want to keep tabs on what these groups are teaching Oregon's children, check out the Facebook pages for Sex Ed in Oregon and The Adolescent Sexuality Conference. Notice which groups and pages they "like" and recommend to young people.

Window replacement C27/C30 models
This question is geared mainly toward C27 and C30 owners with the newer style windows without the metal trim. I have a leak and would like to rebed the window. What tools did you use to push the window out without breaking it? Are the 4 screws and the caulk the only things holding the newer style window in place? This leak is starting to cause damage to my port settee and storage locker so I need to fix ASAP. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. I did search the archieve already.

Spring 2012 - Key
What's happening this spring season? Several FSN publishers provide
their insider info on the key questions that matter to the real world of
college football. Scroll down for the links to all the spring questions.
Q: Is Clemson over the Orange Bowl? How did that affect the offseason? What did the team seem to learn from that and the struggles at the end of the season?
From Roy Philpott, http://clemson.scout.com … What did the team learn? That it needs help on defense. Dabo Swinney and defensive coordinator Kevin Steele parted ways before Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables was brought on to change the mentality. He'll play more of a mix of a man and zone coverage and will also depend on younger talent at linebacker this coming season as a start. While Clemson lost three of four starters up front, plus its top cover corner, there's a sense this unit could still be better this coming season with a new leader at the helm.
Offensively, despite breaking numerous school records a season ago, they want to get better in the running game and more physical at the point of attack. The offensive staff visited Nevada and Oklahoma State for new ideas here and it is possible you could see more of the pistol formation (which has been a mainstay for Nevada over the years) used as a new wrinkle installed by offensive coordinator Chad Morris.
What's the biggest insider storyline from this spring that the average fan should know about?
They moved Tyler Shatley from defensive tackle to guard. The offensive line was a bit of question having lost three starters from last year's squad, but the move of Shatley has looked very good thus far this spring and has truly helped ease those concerns. Clemson's offensive line last year was average at-best. Imagine what they can do if some these younger players can step up and become more consistent.

Like SD said, spouses together can be counterproductive. It very much depends on whether the two of you can both be absolutely certain that having the other one around won't change your behavior--which is pretty much the norm.
You might be able to take one weekend class (beginning to sail) alone while your wife has the kids, then swap while she's off. Get the basics under your belts and compare notes, because each of you will have a slightly different experience and that's a good thing. Then, once you've gotten the basics of sailing, do the bareboat thing together, because managing a boat with systems on it is totally different from the sailing part.
In terms of rates...I think that if you told any sailing school you both wanted to do it, but wanted to do it separately, they would understand
and still give you a "couples" rate.
If you're one of the rare couples who only reinforce each other...it might be great, but this is "lessons" not a "vacation", think that over carefully.

La Zagara
Via dei Mulini 8/10, Positano, 84017

Expert review of La Zagara
La Zagara has been doing its thing since the 1950s and, while it could be said to be overstretching itself - it's definitely a 'plastic-covered menu' place with more choices than you can dream of - it's a good 'I can't walk another step' option. If you're looking for something to take with you, there's a selection of pastries and cakes at the front.
There is everything from ice cream and cakes to sandwiches, pasta and pizzas, as well as coffees and soft drinks. La Zagara is also open late and, during the evening, turns into more of a bar. Food is still served but cocktails start to make an appearance.
La Zagara has a pretty little garden out the back that makes a perfectly pleasant place to have a coffee and a cake or an overblown ice cream.
Its position on the main drag in Positano means that it gets busy with tourists and tests the patience of the waiting staff. Don't expect cheery banter.
It's about halfway down the walk from the top of Positano to the beach, so a perfect stopping off point.
Being in the centre of things, La Zagara is in prime fleecing position. That said, prices are not outrageous for this part of town.

During his election campaign, Narendra Modi had repeatedly attacked the UPA government and its environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan for blocking country's development by delaying green clearances for major projects. After assuming power, it seems, Modi government is all set to ensure fast clearances to infrastructure projects.
BJP leader Prakash Javadekar, who took over as the minister of environment and forests on Thursday morning, launched a new online system in the afternoon for applying and monitoring of environmental clearances.
Javadekar also said that there would be "some big policy changes" in the next couple of weeks which would iron out all problems in environment and forest clearances process.
Ministry of environment and forests is an important ministry which grants the required clearances to industry leaders before they can go ahead with big projects like airports, ports, mining, power plants and road construction.
Launching the process for transparent environmental clearance, Javadekar explained that the new system for online submission of applications for environmental clearances will bring transparency in the application processes for environmental clearance, online real-time monitoring and adherence to timelines for verification, stage-wise approval and compliance mechanism and a more user-friendly application process.
"There shall be a maximum time limit for the entire approval process, with stage-wise timelines. Continuous efforts shall be made to bring down the timelines for each stage. Every state shall be taken along and that the aspirations and difficulties of state governments will be duly considered," he told reporters.
Javadekar explained that there shall be a maximum time limit for the entire green clearance process, with stage-wise timelines to make it transparent and accountable.
A similar system for forest clearances will also be launched soon within a month.
He, however, strongly said that smoothening of green clearances process would not involve making any compromise on efforts to protect environment.
Javadekar stated that growth and environment protection would go hand in hand.
Former environment minister Jayanthi Natarajan was under severe attack by industry for slower rate of environment clearances which also allegedly led to her removal from the ministry. She was replaced by M Veerappa Moily in December 2013 to please industry by giving faster clearances.

Chris Brown could be back in court sooner than expected if one cameraman has his way.
According to E! Online, photographer Robert Rosen filed suit against Chris in Los Angeles Superior Court for assault and battery.
Rob claims that Chris had bodyguards chase him down after he snapped a picture of the singer playing basketball on March 13 at L.A. Fitness on March 13. Court documents state once security caught the paparazzo that one of them "picked him up by his shorts and physically assaulted him."
Chris' lawyer Mark Geragos, is shaking the suit off as nothing more than a photo op.
"This is a specious and frivolous lawsuit by one of the paparazzi seeking publicity and a payday," he told E! News. "He's done this before and lost. We will vigorously defend against this."
Mark's right: Back in 2007, Rob sued actor Pierce Brosnan (aka James Bond) of punching him outside of a restaurant in Malibu.
In his case against Chris, Rob said that he was in "great fear for his life, health and safety" after the singer's security blocked the nearest exit at the gym and grabbed him. The suit states that once Rob broke free of the bodyguards, he fell down a flight of stairs.
Robert is also slamming Chris with allegations of intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, negligent hiring, premises liability and false imprisonment. The photographer is asking for an unspecified amount in damages, and claims that he was "severely injured and disabled, both internally and externally."
Of course, we're not sure how all that will hold up in court if prosecutors see this video taken of Robert right after the incident.

Bail set for teen in Omaha shooting death
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Bail has been set for a 13-year-old boy facing an accessory charge in the shooting death of an Omaha man.
The Omaha World-Herald reports the boy must pay 10 percent of $5,000 in order to be released from jail.
The teen, along with boys ages 15, 16 and 17, are accused of being connected to the death of 23-year-old Brandon Wallace. He was found wounded on the front porch of his home and died June 7 at an Omaha hospital.
A warrant has been issued for a fifth teen, though it's unclear how he is connected to the case.
The Associated Press generally doesn't name juveniles accused of crimes.

Most annoying of all, as he nearly throws away the play's best role, is Derek Smith, the last two-thirds of whose Bastard of Falconbridge make up a strong, lucid, energizing performance. What they can't make up for is the first third, in which Smith chooses to tackle the character as a multiple-choice exam: His first choice, lurching and guttural, is Frankenstein's monster with wisecracks, followed by Huck Finn and, when he's left alone to revel in his newfound knighthood, by a manic unfunniness that suggests life backstage with Danny Kaye. During all this, barely a line of what he says and does makes any human sense at all. The audience's bond with Falconbridge, so vital for following both his twisted character and the twisty sequence of events, is never forged.
Under such circumstances, the roles that sound only a few simple notes invariably come off best: Mark Vietor makes the French king's pious dignity true and gripping; Bruce Turk catches both the Dauphin's fervor and his sourly comic disillusionment; Neil Maffin is an astringent, angry Salisbury, Nicholas Kepros a smoothly cagey Pandulph, Michael Ray Escamilla well-spoken as the play's several child characters. Michael Rogers, as Hubert, strikes the best balance of all the principals, sustaining his grander passages with taut, grim-lipped simplicity. When loftier emotions take over Hubert, you can hear the thunder start to roll in Rogers's voice, but he resolutely fights off the temptation to rant. There's probably a moral in that, but no sensible critic would draw a moral after seeing King John.
