HOUSE PASSES 20-WEEK ABORTION BILL: The vote was 242-184, and along party lines (4 Democrats supported the bill; 4 Republicans opposed it). The bill would ban abortions after 20 weeks.
I am with my fellow constitutional law professors, Glenn (Mr. InstaP himself) and Jonathan Adler on this one: I don't see a principled constitutional basis for Congress to regulate abortions. It is a matter of state power–for state-by-state legislative consideration–and not within Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce.
For a Republican Congress to embrace such an expansive interpretation of the Commerce Clause is more than a bit ironic (and unprincipled), especially given Republicans' more parsimonious view of the Clause during the Obamacare litigation. Why jettison this basic understanding of constitutional structure/federalism merely to score a cheap political victory?
The goal of restricting abortions to 20 weeks' gestation–which I support and is backed by increasing science on viability–can be accomplished within state legislatures. There are some interesting and complicated legal questions about the constitutionality of a 20-week cutoff versus a 22-week cutoff due to the current science on viability, but there is little doubt that states have the constitutional wiggle room to ban abortions sometime around 22 weeks (the point of fetal viability).
But for Congress to impose a top-down, "one size fits all" cutoff for abortion flies in the face of conservative thought that Roe v. Wade itself was an inappropriate federalization of abortion that pretermitted democratic debate and state variation on such a contentious moral issue.
Note to Republicans in Congress: The ends do not justify the means–rationale is out of the progressives' playbook.

Cape Byron Kayaks
Took the afternoon tour in early June. Surf was rough but we all got out into the bay and back in safely thanks to detailed instruction from the guide. This group has been operating the longest (around 17 years) and is well resourced with experienced guides.
Unfortunately no dolphins were spotted despite paddling out quite far, but they aren't exactly on call for tourists. We did spot some sea turtles and had fun on the waves.
Paddling out through the surf was hard work so be advised. We got flipped twice in the process but third time lucky (with help from the guides). The other two boats got flipped coming back in, but outfitted with safety gear there was no harm in it - just a good soak!

Cape Byron Lighthouse
The Lighthouse is constructed in 1901, and stands on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland.
The Lighthouse is still in service today, and you can join a tour if you want to take a close look.
We didn't go inside the Lighthouse, but only enjoyed the spectacular view from the Lighthouse.

Walking tracks
In the area around Byron Bay there are several walking tracks. You'll pass rainforest, rugged cliff faces and amazing views of the ocean.
We took the walking track from Byron Bay to the Lighthouse (see other tip), and it was a beautiful walk.
The terrain is isolated - be back before it gets dark, and remember to bring water on your walk.

Cape Byron Headland
Cape Byron is the most easterly point of the Australian mainland and the headland rises 94 meters above sea level..
There is a 5km walking track that leads from Watego's Beach up the headland to the lighthouse and back. It's quite steep in places so allow yourself plenty of time.
The magnificent views from the top along the coastline are simply stunning!

Byron Bay Lighthouse
The Byron Bay Lighthouse sits on top of the Cape Byron Headland and has been a beacon for passing ships since 1901. The headland here is 94 metres above sea level and the Lighthouse stands 22 metres high.
You can walk or drive the 8km's to the Lighthouse from Byron Bay depending on how fit you are feeling at the tome. You will certainly see more if you choose to walk but it is steep and it can be very hot in summer.

Byron Bay
Byron Bay is blessed with a beautiful beach by the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. It's a very popular spot for swimming, surfing and diving.
The beach is patrolled by lifesavers but it remains wise to stay between the flags. Although heart attcks are more common than shark attacks down under it pays to stay alert as an unfortunate surf skier discovered here in October 2007.

Nimbim Museum
One of the weirdest museums you are probably ever likely to come across. In some ways its more like the worst kind of junk shop, with 'exhibits' piled everywhere - the concept seems to be rather than dump it, put it in the museum. But in a strange way, it works. Walls are papered with old newspapers, local newsletters, announcements etc: there's the ultimate 'alternative' cafe with the smell of the weed percolating above the ground coffee and even though there's free entry, the entrance has an 'alternative' foyer for helping you spend your money....:)
And as for the Hippy Wagon jutting out of what should be the shop front....
Nimbim - a cultural phenomenon
Part of the Rainbow County, Nimbim is the 'capital' of drug culture. This quiet little town became the centre of the 1970s hippy dope culture and continues to be so today. Sadly, it has also become the heroine centre, many of the dealers selling the less harmful to bankroll their own, more serious, fix. Bought up on liberal ideology, today the experience of walking through Nimbim is anything but pleasant - virtually everyone from 16 to 116 is selling the weed (and surpisingly openly), with grannies as well as their grandkids approaching you with the various choices. It is overt, it is pushy, it is unpleasant (unless you are one of the 70% that visit Nimbim to purchase the famed 'speciality').
Which is a great pity as Nimbim is located in the centre of some stunning landscapes, close to both the Nightcap National Park and Whian Whian State Forest and forms the ideal stopover (or at least should!) for coffee or lunch. And just down the hill from the town is the Nimbin Rocks, an Aboriginal sacred site.
Approximately 25kms south of Byron Bay is Ballina, a fairly large town that serves the area as well as a place for low-key tourism. Like many of the towns on this coast, it is built at the mouth of a river and therefore offers coastal and river beaches and waterfronts. The Pacific Highway cuts through it and as such offers a wide-range of accommodation and services. The beach here runs north from Ballina to Byron, broken by dramatic headlands and rocky outcrops.
There's also a small airport at Ballina, serviced by Virgin Blue, which makes it a great 'entry point' for this part of the coast.
Brunswick Heads Nature Reserve
Across the river from the town of Brunswick Heads is the Nature Reserve, a mixture of coastal and river walks along with natural bush vegetation.
It's a great spot to distance yourself from people and find that virtually deserted bit of beach. Although only on the other bank of the river, there is no direct access from Brunswick Heads itself (other than by private boat). Therefore, access involves driving out onto the Pacific Highway, crossing the river and then driving back along the northern banks of the river, the 'suburbs' of New Brighton and finally a short drive along an untarmac'ed road (in good condition though). Takes about 20-30 minutes.
Brunswick Heads
About 20kms north of Byron is Brunswick Heads, a small town built at the mouth of the Brunswick River. Spread out, it is almost exclusively set up to serve a very low-key tourist industry - little more than a few small hotels, a few cafes and a large caravan and campsite.
It's a delightful little spot, with, on the one hand spectacular ocean beaches (7kms running towards Byron) as well as safe river beaches only minutes from the crashing ocean. There's also a small but cute marina and a lovely backdrop of low-lying mountains.
Byron Bay hinterland
Drive a few kilometres inland from Byron beyond the Pacific Highway to get a feel for the farmland and rolling hills environs. It's a heady mix of green pastures but at the same time views from the surrounding low lying hills will give you a view of the sea and highlight the drought the area is facing (there may be a lot of green around but look a little more closely...). Particular pictures is near Coorabell, a couple of kms from the small town of Bangalow and only a few kms from Byron.
Sunsets - Byron Bay
It's a little disconcerting when in Byron - the far end of the bay is the furthest easterly point of Australia. Thus, the best views for sunsets is at Clarke's Beach, looking directly across the bay towards Mount Warning. Why is it disconcerting? Because you are convinced that such a direction must be north - not west.
The Byron Bay icon is the Lighthouse, found at the extreme easterly end of the Bay and which is the most easterly part of Australia. Built in 1901, the structure dominates the surrounds and can be seen for miles around (the whole point! :)).
The area around the Lighthouse is the Cape Bryon Natural Reserve - steep pathways leading up from Clarke's beach (and others) below. Fantastic views to be had of the coastline in both directions and, if you're there at the right time, chances are you will see plenty of whales out to sea (June-Sept).
You can walk up from the beaches (pretty steep though!) or you can drive to the top of the headland (car park cost A$5)
Clarke's Beach, Byron
Walk along the beach (or the road) towards the lighthouse in Byron, and you will soon hit Clarke's Beach (best place for sunsets). This has whistling sand (compression as you step on it makes is sounds as if its whistling to you) and apparently changes format quite regularly dependent on the weather - a storm a week or so before our arrival resulted in the lagoon on left hand side of photo forming.

From: How to Cook Well, with Rory O'Connell
This is a rich and concentrated mousse with a texture that I really like. The combination of the chocolate and the burnt sugar caramel works really well. I like to serve this with caramel sauce and thick pouring cream. Sometimes I can get Jersey cream, and that is just heavenly.
From: How to Cook Well, with Rory O'Connell
Crème Anglaise is one the classic dessert sauces. It is flourless, thin custard. The classic version is flavoured with vanilla but many variations exist. Lemon, orange, chocolate and coffee are some of the many other flavours that might be introduced. If possible use a vanilla pod or bean, but natural vanilla extract can also be used. The vanilla pod will give a superior flavour and the sauce will be flecked with the tiny vanilla seeds whose appearance in the sauce adds visual interest. Best quality eggs make an enormous difference to the colour and flavour of the sauce.
With a little redecoration it would be perfect for any time of the year too!
An easy to make tasty treat
This might look like a very impressive cake that took ages to make, but it's really only an assembly job. Perfect for a dinner party when you're tight on time!
From: How to Cook Well, with Rory O'Connell
This is a great recipe which can be used all year 'round. I use fresh berries in summer and autumn, and frozen in winter. The geranium leaves for this recipe come from the lemon scented geranium, and they add a highly scented and delicious flavor to the syrup and the fruit. You will find this geranium in a good garden centre and it is well worth having. It can sit outside in a sunny spot in summer and needs to come back in to a sunny windowsill, conservatory or glass house for the winter months. It is immensely useful and I also use it to flavour mousses and soufflés, sorbets, granitas and ice creams. It also pairs beautifully with blackberries and apples, or better still a combination of both of those fruits. I have on occasions replaced the geranium with mint, lemon balm or lemon verbena with excellent results. Serve these berries with Raspberry Fool or Ice Cream or with Chocolate Mousse or Soft Vanilla Meringues.
Try this heavenly cheesecake recipe from Rachel's Garden Café, you won't be disappointed.

Dungarvan Brewing Company's Black Rock Stout is perfect for slow cooking. I love this stew: it's wholesome, healthy and rich. The stout is made from roasted barley which gives a rich, chocolate-y flavour. Best of all, it is brewed in Dungarvan.

Two giants of the church have died this week. Names that we are all familiar with are no more. Like Kenneth Hagin Derek Prince was also no stranger to controversy but it is probably right at this stage simply to remember his life and all that was accomplished through it. Where theological differences exist within the church, we are all one and the death of a man like this effects the whole church.

It's sometimes not the easiest being a Happy Little Vegemite in New York City – or anywhere in America, for that matter. Lucky for those fellow 'Strayans who like their toast with yeast extract (really, who are we?) there's Ruby's Café.
This sweet little spot is located in the very nice NoLita – where a lot of beautiful people hang out. But never fear, the café is laid-back and will serve you really good coffee.
While they offer basic breakfasts (eggs all styles) and lunches (salads, burgers and pasta) they also – very importantly – serve Vegemite toast.
This month if you order a burger or pasta between 1pm and 7pm you'll get $2 beers.
Puts a rose in every cheek.
Ruby's is at 219b Mulberry Street, New York.

Great food, quite pricey but the Steak was worth it. Cool setting, it did get quite hot in there as it is in a basement. Only bad thing is that you need to buy sides otherwise it is only a piece of steak on a plate. Service was really good.

The best steaks in Cologne- great family owed argentine steakhouse, papa cooks, kids wait tables, it's that simple. Fine dinning this is not, fine steak this is 110%.

The food is good, price high accordingly, but the service is really slow and the place is definitely too hot! The fillet is very tasty
We have been to Ponchos a few times now when we're in Cologne on business, we have also taken many customers here and have never had a bad meal. Everybody who we go with always gushes about how good the steaks are. The fillets are a generous size and always cooked to perfection. The sauces are lovely and everything is...
Great Steaks and Atmosphere..., this restaurant was highly recommended to me, and it really didn't disappoint, our steaks were perfect, and the general ambience would be appealing to medium to large business groups. It can get quite hot in this subterranean restaurant.
However, I had feedback from a friend who visited two days earlier, they were stuck by the kitchen,...
Best restaurant we ate at in Cologne. The bread served with chimichurri/salsa and garlic sauces to start was amazing. Empanadas were very good.

It could have been that we were early to eat but the service was slow. The steak however was excellent and worth the wait.

I usually visit Poncho once a year when I am travelling for work in Cologne. It is an amazing steak house with beef coming directly from Argentina. If you are a meat eater this is the place to go.

Recently ate at this place and thought, overall it was really good. The steak I ordered came perfect and was superb, great taste, very lean, lovely.
My only real gripe is that the service was slow, but it was a busy night and the place was full
Steaks were absolutely fantastic! Service time was fine but it was very busy, especially after fair time(Köln Messe). Not cheap but worth it for the meat.

Hot on the heels of news about the closing of a voter fraud case targeting Ann Coulter following the unsolicited intervention of a senior FBI figure come reports out of North Carolina that an indictment for voting fraud has been handed down. Curiously, the U.S. attorney and the Justice Department had no interest whatsoever in battling this voter fraud case. I wonder why. It turns out that the defendant is Michael Aaron Lay, and he's a staffer to Representative Patrick McHenry. Both are Republicans. Again, clear-cut evidence of how the Justice Department's action or inaction turns completely on the partisan credentials of the target.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

GCKI History
In 1970, Gulf Coast Karting Association, Inc. (GCKA), was organized for the purpose of owning and operating facilities for the sport of kart racing.
GCKI Mission Statement
Gulf Coast Karters, Inc. is a member-owned and managed kart club that is focused on safety, family fun and sportsmanship while promoting the sport of Karting in the Houston area. Our members are committed to providing a safe environment to practice or race karts, entertain spectators, develop our young drivers, and enjoy the camaraderie that Karting delivers. We are dedicated to growing our membership and improving our facilities while keeping our membership costs reasonable. This is why we believe a GCKI membership provides one of the best values in motorsports!
How to Become A Volunteer
Putting on races takes people and Gulf Coast Karters relies on our members and non-members to fulfill the roles required to run the Club and our kart racing events. We welcome and encourage this participation because without volunteers there simply would be no racing.

The Algarve region
The Algarve is well known for its golf courses and also for the many coastal resorts and traditional fishing villages. The Atlantic location means although very hot in June, July and August, the heat is not overpowering. The climate remains warm in Spring and Autumn, and over winter you get warm days, but the nights are noticeably cooler this makes this time of year near perfect for golf.
Vilamoura - midway between Albufeira and Faro in Central Algarve – is considered by many to be the ultimate Algarve tourist resort combining the traditional and cosmopolitan. The emphasis here is on the outdoor life and having fun, and this has always been the intention of the planners since Vilamoura was conceived as the dream holiday destination around 40 years ago. Today, it is amongst the largest exclusive resorts in Europe, and viewed as the most complete with the centrepiece being the magnificent marina area which is the focus for the many bars, restaurants, shops and super-yachts!
The designers of Vilamoura have exhibited extreme environmental consciousness, ensuring that little has been done to distract from the beautiful landscapes and historical heritage of this area. Consequently, Vilamoura is immaculately maintained from day-to-day - from the glorious beaches to the pine forests, to the superb, man-made facilities.
If an active holiday in an environment as lively as it is relaxing is what you seek in the Algarve, Vilamoura just about has it all. Vilamoura boasts six world-class golf courses, a riding school; tennis, lawn bowling, shooting, sailing, diving and fishing clubs which are all book-able within the resort.
Vilamoura boasts 6 golf courses, Laguna, Millennium, The Old Course, Pinhal, Victoria and Vila Sol - all easily accessible from the apartment. Tee times can either be booked directly at the club house or through one of the numerous booking agencies. Rental of clubs, buggies and shoes is available but it is strongly recommended to book in advance.
Faleisia beach is about 1 mile from the apartment which is a 15 minute walk (if you drive there is ample parking). The beach is immaculate golden sand stretching for approximately 5 miles. There are sun loungers and parasols to rent and beach bars are placed at regular intervals which are all of a high standard offering toasties to full seafood dishes.
Water sports
The water sports centre is in the marina offering; Shark and Big Game fishing, waterskiing, parasailing, jetskiing, cruises and boat hire including luxury motor-yacht hire.

"A Welcome Return"
My wife and family have just returned from our second visit to this apartment and we loved it just like the last time! The facilities are excellent, modern, nicely furnished and well equipped. We love the pool area with the imaculate gardens and with with its brilliant baby pool for our daughter (18 months), and the opportunity for our older sons (5) and (7) to make friends in the huge communal pool. The location of the apartment is superb, quiet and relaxing but close enough to get to the hussle and bustle of the Marina with a short walk or inexpensive (4 Euro) taxi ride.
We went to the beach a few times this year which was great, the local beach Falesia is very close by and very clean with nice snack bars and restaurants and also public toilets (also clean). We also went to ZooMarine again which we would recommend for children of all ages. A lovely holiday, we will be back again in the future.

"Very Good All Round"
Had a short break here,the apartment is well furnished and equipped and only a hop and skip from the pool.Communication from the owners was excellent and deposit refunded promptly.A little bit isolated from the action but a short taxi ride or a brisk walk takes you to the Marina where it all happens.Would stay again and recommend.

"Lovely Apartment with a great pool and location ideal for a relaxing holiday"
The apartment totally lived up to its description, very spacious, nice modern furnishings, but very practical so no worries about our little ones knocking into fragile things and breaking them. The kitchen had everything we needed for when we ate in. For us the direct access to the pool from the ground floor was a real bonus as we could easliy move to and from the apartment. The pool was amazing, very large and really clean, nice children's bit, with lots of loungers and sun shades round the outside for people to use. We liked the fact the apartment had a private garden which gave us some privacy when we wanted to have that, also we used it to BBQ which the owners also provided.
The apartment is located about 15 minutes walk from the Marina. The walk to the Marina was very nice down through a landscaped footpath and not as far as we thought it would be, as we stayed down there late we usually got a taxi back, which was convenient and not expensive. There was an very large choice of restaurants and bars in the Marina, some were quite expensive but mostly they were very affordable and the food good, the service sometimes got a bit slow because of the amount of people they were trying to serve also we got in the habit of booking as the reatuarants could get quite full.
Booking the apartment was very easy, the owner was very helpful in making sure all our questions were answered before we booked as we had never been to Vilamoura before, the apartment guide he sent us was really good and helped us plan our stay.
We really enjoyed it and would go back again

"Fantastic Holiday"
My wife, daughter and I stayed at the apartment in September 2011. On arrival we were very impressed with the complex, it was beautifully landscaped and very clean and tidy.
The apartment itself was fantastic, it is superbly decorated and very spacious. Both bedrooms are large, the en suite and bathroom are both very modern and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay.
The pool area and gardens are excellent. There is a main pool and a pool for kids, the setting for the pool area is beautiful and there is plenty of room.
The marina is about 15mins walk, you can get there by taxi but we preffered the walk which is very nice especially at evening time.
All in all we had a great time and would definately return. Highly recommended.
