Great for the price, not heavy but it is nice and the price was great!

Pros: ? Colors ? Design Cons: ? The sheets are thin and "silky", so they slide (but they do fit well). ? The Comforter does not fit our standard mattress (No Pillow Top) from side-to-side. I would have to put the bed up against the wall and put the comforter on off-center to hang far enough down the exposed side of the bed. Alternately, I could upsize to a queen but then I'd have to buy sheets separately. ? There are areas where the top-stitching on the comforter was unraveled straight out of the bag. I ordered this on-line for in store pick-up, I was so excited when it arrived that I went immediately to get it. It's a 20 mile drive from my house, that's 40 miles and almost two hours of my time wasted! I'm very disappointed in the quality and obviously the fit of this item and now I have to make that trip again to return it. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT

Great set for the price. We don't use the sheets but have used the comforter daily for 6+ months. Comforter fabric was originally rough but has softened with several washings, still has color like new. Only complaint is with the internal batting which has bunched up where the comforter is handled most up by our head and shoulders--- rows of top stitching not close enough together. If I had known when new I would have added several rows of quilting to secure batting better.

AP Pro Football Writer
DENVER - Matt Prater's lawyer said the NFL initially threatened a yearlong suspension before agreeing to ban the Denver Broncos kicker four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Harvey Steinberg said Prater's suspension was alcohol-related. He said Prater consumed a couple of beers while on vacation in between the end of the team's offseason workout program in June and the start of training camp in late July.
Prater has been in the league's substance abuse program since he was charged with DUI on Aug. 12, 2011.
An NFL spokesman declined to confirm the suspension, which was first reported by the Denver Post overnight Sunday. The Broncos have declined to comment on the matter.
"As difficult as it is to have to deal with the suspension, I think Matt's very positive about his future," Steinberg told The Associated Press. "He's handling this in a positive manner. Once this is over, he will really benefit from all the circumstances and he'll be better for it, and that's really what's important."
Prater's suspension for the first five weeks - the Broncos' bye is in Week 4 - could be a big blow to the Broncos, who are trying to become the first team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to win a Super Bowl the year after losing it.
Prater led the league last year by making 25 of 26 field goals (96.2 percent), including a record-breaking 64-yarder in December against Tennessee. He also led the NFL with 81 kickoff touchbacks and scored 150 of Denver's record 606 points.
His absence will put more pressure on Peyton Manning and his receivers and running backs to score touchdowns.
The addition of rookie wide receiver Cody Latimer, who is 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, should make it easier for Denver to convert in the red zone, where Latimer can line up with wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (6-3, 229) and tight end Julius Thomas (6-5, 250) to create matchup nightmares for defenses.
Prater missed two of four field-goal tries this preseason, including a 49-yarder in an 18-17 loss to Houston on Saturday night. He was good from 32 yards to open the scoring but the football sailed haphazardly through the uprights because he kicked the ground as he made contact.
His backup is Mitch Ewald, a rookie from Indiana, although the Broncos might look to bring in a veteran kicker while he serves his suspension, which covers games against Indianapolis, Kansa City, Seattle and Arizona.
"I've made some mistakes," Prater told the Post. "I'm accepting full responsibility. I'll learn from it and come back a better person. I want to apologize to my teammates, my coaches, the Broncos' organization and the fans."

While in his junior year in Belmont's Social Entrepreneurship program, Austin Sauerbrei discovered a "Free Store" in Columbus, Ohio, and a dream was born.
After graduating in December 2010, Sauerbrei set out to make his project a reality. The process began with a trip to Columbus, Ohio to visit his initial inspiration. The trip was followed by almost nine months of planning before the store finally opened its doors in December 2011, a year after Austin graduated from Belmont.
Almost immediately after opening, the store was a success. "The first weekend there were only about 20 to 25 people, then we had 30 the next week and then 50 the week after that."
Recently, on Saturday Aug 18—a little over six months since its opening—the store set a new record; over 90 people came through, and there are now over 400 registered members.
Every Saturday, from 9 a.m. to noon the store is open to anyone and everyone. Because the space is so small, only four people are able to enter the store itself at one time. In a waiting area members of the community help themselves to coffee, snacks and conversation.
A large part of the store's success comes from the high level of engagement of its shoppers. Of the over 400 registered members, Sauerbrei approximates that 70 to 80 percent have donated products and almost 20 percent have volunteered at the store. (more…)
Twenty Belmont University students and two professors left Nashville May 8 for a 19-day journey to Israel, Turkey and Greece, traveling to numerous sites along the way including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Istanbul and Athens. Students on this study abroad trip are taking either a Third Year Writing course or a general education religion class with the goal to see the lands in which Christianity was born.
As School of Religion Dean Darrell Gwaltney writes, the trip is part pilgrimage as well. "It is moving to travel to Jerusalem and other places many of us have been reading about and learning about all our lives. One of the great benefits from such a trip like this is that we are forever changed. The people we meet and the people with whom we travel change us."
Student Carter Abel recounted an experience from the first day of the trip: "I was about to fall asleep when we drove over the top of a moutain and before me lay the most magnificent sight I have ever seen–the Sea of Galilee. Spanning out before me, the incredible blue waters stood out like gemstone surrounded by bare mountains. I sat in absolute awe and wonder as I laid my eyes upon the place where Jesus walked on water, calmed the storm, fed thousands of people with a single basket of food and performed miracles. No matter how much cities and nations have changed over two thousand years, the Sea of Galilee remains a living altar of the power, compassion and love of God who walked its shores."

188,000-square-foot structure plus five-level underground garage will be largest campus building to date
Belmont University broke ground this morning on the campus' largest building to date, a 188,000-square-foot academic center situated on the corner of Wedgewood and 15th Avenues. The building will house most departments from the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the School of Religion, providing much-needed classroom and lab space for the growing University. Slated to open in fall 2014 and anticipated to cost $76.5 million, the new building is being designed and built by locally-owned companies—Earl Swensson Associates (ESa) and R.C. Mathews—and will create jobs for hundreds in Middle Tennessee. A five-level underground parking garage will also provide approximately 430 additional parking spaces, and the facility will connect on three floors to both the Inman Center and McWhorter Hall.
"The building establishes a new cornerstone for Belmont University and provides a true reflection of who we are," said Belmont President Bob Fisher. "It will sit as a beacon on the northeast edge of campus, offering a perfect view of the Nashville skyline and inviting Nashville and the world to come and see what Belmont is all about: providing an academically challenging liberal arts education in a Christian community of learning and service."
Since Belmont's general education/core curriculum requires courses in writing, speech, math and religion, among others, every undergraduate will take classes in the new academic center. In addition, the center will house a 280-seat chapel, a dining venue, 30 classrooms that vary in seating capacity, state-of the-art laboratories and conference room space.
Dr. Thomas Burns, who serves as Belmont's Provost overseeing all academic programs, added that the building's design has been a campus-wide effort. "We began this process in the fall with a blank canvas, recognizing that we needed additional academic space but carefully considering which areas to prioritize. Through ongoing conversations and collaboration with students, faculty and staff, we've honed in on Belmont's most urgent needs in the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Religion. With their input, we've drawn plans for a building that will enable interdisciplinary studies and experiential learning while also representing the latest thinking in classroom space."
Belmont University welcomed noted author and speaker Walter Brueggemann to campus on Oct. 23 for a convocation lecture titled, "God's Justice for the Poor."
An expert on bringing the insights of the Old Testament to bear on contemporary issues of economic justice, nationalism and militarism through his 75 books, Brueggemann spent the hour engaging students in a discussion on the economic structure of society in Biblical times between the ideals under Pharaoh and the neighborly structure seen in Deuteronomy.
He advocated for a "mixed system" society – one that combines strategies from the capitalistic approach and the neighbor friendly one.
"Jesus thought neighbors related to neighbors related to neighbors could be transformative," Brueggemann said.
The lecture ended with audience participation as students stood around the room and engaged in a dialogue surrounding the assigned questions regarding the state of the economy and the applicability of these ideals to the system we live in.
Brueggemann's lecture tied in with the University's 2011-2012 theme of Wealth and Poverty. This academic year, many academic lectures and programs explore the origins and effects of wealth and poverty as well as the social and ethical implications of each.
Modern circumstances of poverty emulate debt slavery structures from Biblical times, Dr. Mark McEntire told students during a Monday morning convocation using the Old Testament to examine the University's 2011-2012 theme of Wealth and Poverty.
"Although many of you do community service, that (work) deals with the pain and poverty caused by this system (of debt slavery)," said McEntire, who teaches Old Testament and Hebrew in Belmont's School of Religion. Instead, students should go beyond volunteerism and find solutions to eliminate the cycle of debt and poverty.
His lecture began with an examination of Hammurabi's Law Code, which is one of the oldest legal texts and the first text to regulate poverty more than 3,800 years ago. Law No. 117 defines debt slavery as a means for the poor to work to pay back what they owe.
Written 1,000 years later, the Covenant Code laid the regulations of debt slavery in Exodus 21:2-6. A man serves for six years and becomes free on the seventh year, similar to the principles of Sabbath. Written two hundred years later, the Deuteronomic Code includes women in debt slavery regulations in Deuteronomy 15:12-18. Later in the Holiness Code in Leviticus 25:39-44, the poor working off their debts go free and are returned to the land of their ancestors in the Year of Jubilee.
"In the Bible, we have a description of a culture where there have always been slaves, and slavery will always exist. There are only simple improvements," McEntire said. "Here, slavery and economic hardship are connected together exclusively with explicit regulations. These texts may have the power to help us focus our questions and reveal answers that we otherwise might not see."
Although cattle slavery, or involuntary servitude, is illegal or hidden in most parts of the world, debt slavery is built into modern laws, similar to Biblical texts. McEntire drew comparisons between Biblical debt slavery and modern bankruptcy laws.
"We should ask, 'who is our system for?' and 'what is it designed to do for people?'" he challenged students to consider.
This academic year, many academic lectures and programs explore the origins and effects of wealth and poverty as well as the social and ethical implications of each. The EthixRox convocation series will continue Oct. 31 with a Wealth, Poverty and New Testament convo and in November with a Hunger Breakfast.

Is the Canon Rebel XTi enough for starters?
Hi folks!
Looking into buying the basics to start taking some nicer-than-iphone-like outdoor pictures during my rides.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I know next to nothing about photography. I have two options one is starting from scratch and the (apparently cheapper) option is to inherit a Canon Rebel XTi my photography-buzz wife owns but is willing to share (if she gets something juicer ($$) for her....
So the key-question is if the Rebel XTi is suitable for non-professional outdoor pictures to be used by a rookie... If not please let me know what other models to look into. Any online sources/tutorials you can point me to on choosing the first outdoor cam also greatly appreaciated.
The next question is what gear to get? Any lens? Which? Do I need a tripod (I normally ride alone and/or prefer to be as self-suficient as possible). Bear in mind I am always focusing light gear not to overpack the bike, so I'd like to keep gear to a minimum but carry the essentials.
Thanks in advance and merry Xmas!!!

I use a Fuji 1500SX, cost all of 200 bucks.
Reason, I had a ton of problems with other,
more expensive cameras and camcorders
getting the stuff online.
Whatever you get, make sure the software
As far as addressing the pics, photobucket.com, free but slow.
Here's a few off a Fuji.

The Canon is more than enough. Somewhat larger than the point and shoot-s, but better quality and more accessories friendly. A big plus that you can change lenses and use a more powerful flash. It is worth to invest in good quality lenses, since you can use them as you upgrade the camera bodies later.

Ahoy Matey.
That's an excellent opportunity you have there! You betcha, go for the Rebel. That's a solid starter DSLR.
You have an added advantage that your photo-buff Significant Other knows the camera and can consult and help you through the noob stages. Excellent!
I'd advise against getting a "kit" camera (and you won't need tripod, flash, big zoom lenses, etc.) at first. Just use the basic camera and maybe a basic zoom lens (your choice). Getting what you see and want into the camera is the goal. Then the basics of cropping and minor tweaks in a software program (and the better you are at the former, the less you'll have to do the latter).
It's really all about your artistic sensibility, just like this site. You'll see amazing photos taken with inexpensive point-and-shoots, low-quality fuzzy photos taken with mega-buck dSLRs with $x,xxx fixed lenses, junk shots with junk cameras, amazing stuff taken with pro equipment, and everything in between. It's really all about the photographer...not so much the gear.
Sounds like the perfect sharing and shared interest scenario to me! You are fortunate. Congrats.
Kill all paranoids!

Good starter camera. I started with the XS a very similiar camera and it was a very good camera and I've taken some very good pics with it and actually won a prize in a local photo contest. It's good using the presets and allows you to learn how to use the more advanced manual controls.
Here is an example of what the XS will do. Took this not too long after getting the camera

I used to take a half decent Canon (with tube extension and Polarizer) with me on trips, but found that it was a hassle to get out of the tankbag for shots while riding. Anything that makes it a hassle to use = < shots.
So I added a nice little Panasonic DMC-ZS15 P&S to my trips and it's a whole lot easier to get out in a hurry. Does a pretty good job on photos
The easier it is to use your camera, the more shots you will take, especially for a rookie (like me) !

Thanks... I guess I can then save those bucks for other needs on the bike! Thanks for all the advice.
I have been reading about the Canon in the meantime and sounds like an awesome starter DLSR as you put it.
Also very happy about my choice of a significant other! My photo-buzz is a great gal and thanks for reminding me!!!

Yes it will be fine. I was in the same "what should I get" mode and bought a kit Canon Rebel 2Ti. Like Trumper mentioned a kit may have stuff you don't need. You may be able to find a used XTi with a basic 18-55 lens and get started. There are used and almost new lenses come up in the flea market occasionally. I have a couple lenses I should sell I bought with my "kit" I do not use.
After I played with mine a bit I invested in a good lens, +1 for what Ungaro said, and that made huge difference in taking pictures in the dark etc. I hardly ever if at all use a flash. It (15-85) has a bit of zoom, great stabilizer (ultrasonic), adequate and then a bunch so far for my needs.
I carry it in a Case Logic SLR Zoom Holster big enough to hold the camera with strap and the 15-85 lens, the manual, charger, spare battery etc. Everything I need for my needs, well padded, suspension strap for the camera. It does take up some room, 10"x6"x4", tapered with a hard plastic bottom, did I mention well padded??
You might spend a bit of time at photography-on-the.net/forum/ for lots of information and ideas. It is mostly a Canon forum. They have a classifieds section as well.
Then you have to learn photo processing..........

That cam plus a canon 50mm f1.8 and you'll learn a *lot*. The camera is less important than the lens and glass. For a devastatingly effective camera that fits in a pocket, look into a canon s100 or s105- great lens, good auto mode, and full manual controls as you learn more about photography. The slr you're talking about is great- join a forum and check out digitalphotographyschool.com to learn more about the basics. The best thing an older slr does for you is help you learn if you want to carry an slr, or if you'd rather get a point and shoot. Remember that the camera is only as good as the lens you use. The more you force yourself to do things the hard way (full manual) the better you'll get. I started with an xsi and a 50, and moved up to a t3i and a whole kit of lenses (over time, not all at once). The 50mm lens gives you the opportunity to learn more about composition, since you'll have to use your legs as manual zoom. The aperture is wide enough to get some decent low light performance, and a nice background blur if you choose. A heads up though, the 50mm f1.8 focuses pretty slowly. My personal backup camera is an Olympus pen e-pl2. Swappable lenses, micro 4/3 form factor- the pics are nearly as good as the canons, and the shots you get in "auto" mode are better than my t3i's "auto" shots. When you decide to upgrade, google canon loyalty program and you can send them the old canon for a discount on a new one- or, google canon refurbished and check out canons refurb store. Good luck and happy shooting!

A lot will depend upon what you intend to use the camera for. If you expect to be carrying a lot of camera gear so you can get off the bike and spend a lot of time taking "perfect" shots, i.e. tripod, extra lenses, filters, etc., then the Canon will not only be a good starter camera, but should serve you well for many years.
However, if you will primarily be using it to record sights along the highways and byways as you ride, I'd be inclined to agree with Dusty Boots. Something compact, yet capable, with adequate zoom ratio, that can be put into service quickly, even while you're straddling the bike.
You will discover, as your wife undoubtedly has, that the equipment is less important than the user (and I'm talking just about photography here, so getyerminds out of the gutter ). Study and practice composition, lighting and shadows, shooting angle, etc., along with post-processing, such as cropping and color manipulation. Once you have that down pat, a better camera/lens combo will only enhance your work. A camera that exceeds the capabilities of the photographer will only produce sharp, crisp, crappy photos.

45 year old man | Echo Park, CA, USA | Seeking women 28-42 within 25 miles of Los Angeles, CA
I'm a NC native living in Los Angeles since 2008. And as much as I still love NC, I love LA just as much. I'm crazy for traveling, having been to Chicago, NYC, Vancouver, Banff/Calgary, SF, Seattle, Portland, London, Philly, and across the USA three times. Luckily, living in LA offers something new to discover every day, and I've made a lot of great friends to share it with since I arrived. Jobwise, I'm a fulltime graphic designer, web coder and motion graphics guy for the motion picture industry in West Hollywood with occasional freelance design on nights weekends. I'm really good at: Cooking vegan channa masala, vegan pho, vegan gyozas and vegan anything. Finding hiking trails. Typography. Dancing all night. Calling mom once a week. Taking things seriously. Having fun the rest of the time. Talking about anything. Listening intently when you talk about anything. Making plans. Being spontaneous. Playing excellent bass guitar, decent electric guitar and horrible keyboards and drums. Film trivia. Music trivia. Giving encouragement. Helping friends with relationship advice. Roaming the city. Exploring the country. Sleeping in. Being convinced to get up early for the right reason. Opening doors for the women in my life. Making small children laugh. Making you laugh. BOOKS - see below!

You'll have 6 weeks or something to turn on your cash for the digital credits. After 6 weeks, the cash will no longer be accepted to trade for digital currency. Turn it in or lose it.

Chris and Colin Weir donated £500,000 each to the SNP in February, according to the elections watchdog the Electoral Commission.
The Weirs previously gave the party £1 million in September 2011 and have also funded the Yes Scotland campaign to the tune of £3.5 million over the last two years.
The latest figures, which show donations received during the first three months of this year, will place further pressure on Ed Miliband following a difficult week for the Labour leader.
Two polls in recent days have shown the Conservatives establish a lead over Labour, while the party is also outstripping its opponents in fundraising.
The Tories received £6,662,232 in total, over a fifth of the money, £1,506,500, from a single donor - British-Australian hedge fund boss Sir Michael Hintze.
Labour received £4,409,167, with two-thirds of its cash coming from three of the UK's largest unions Unite, Usdaw and Unison.
But Labour later said that the true total figure was actually much higher, at £8.2m.
The extra was made up from small donations and membership fees which were not recorded by the Electoral Commission, the party said.
Donations to the Liberal Democrats totalled £1,074,482.
Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont said the SNP was "clearly embarrassed" that such a proportion of its funding came from one couple.
"The fact is, if the Weirs hadn't picked their lucky numbers, the independence movement would be millions of pounds worse off."
An SNP spokeswoman said: "We thank all of our donors - big and small - for contributing to the success of the party, including consistently being ahead in the polls after eight years in government, which is a remarkable achievement."
Tory chairman Grant Shapps attacked Labour's reliance on union donations.
But Labour hit back saying that half of all Tory donations had come from those who had had donor dinners either with the Prime Minister or one of his ministers.
Meanwhile, Labour's new election guru, the former Obama aide David Axelrod, discussed Scottish independence after his first meeting with the party's shadow cabinet on Thursday.
The one-time White House staffer chatted about the referendum with shadow Scottish secretary Margaret Curran.
Regarded as the architect of the American president's election victory in 2008 Mr Axelrod is understood to have emphasised how important he considers September's vote.

From The Archives: Where are the Transitional Fossils?
From the archives: A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.

Origins News Roundup for August 6, 2014
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
What Do the Arts Have to Do with Evangelism?
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
The Boxer and the Biologist
When the boxer and the biologist collided that November evening, they both had a substantial following, and they presented a sharp contrast to the audience: a pugilistic, self-educated fundamentalist evangelist against a suave, sophisticated science writer. When it comes right down to it, not all that different from Ken Ham versus Bill Nye, except that Ham has a couple of earned degrees where Rimmer had none.

The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
Not So Dry Bones: An interview with Mary Schweitzer
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
Origins News Roundup for July 9, 2014
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.

Bethel was where I learned that the science that I loved could be a Christian calling. Before that I had a vague notion that truly serving God meant being a pastor or missionary. Here I learned that in every profession you can love God with heart and soul and mind and strength, studying God's world with your mind and caring for it with your hands.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (20 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The Creator's Canvas: How should Christian science teachers approach controversial issues?
Most Christian students have a lot of questions about evolution and the other controversies, but are afraid to ask them for fear of the adults gasping in horror. The right way for a Christian teacher to proceed is to accommodate questions, foster inquiry, and encourage students to think and engage with the issues.

Jennifer Lopez makes cupcakes for twins Max and Emme's fifth birthday
Jennifer Lopez JLo twins
Jennifer Lopez is woman of many, many talents: singer, actress, dancer, designer, mom ... and baker! The busy mom celebrated her twins' fifth birthday on Friday by baking (and frosting) homemade cupcakes to take to their school -- and showed off her hard work via Twitter.
"Happy Birthday Coconuts! 5 years of joy and true love!" Lopez, 43, tweeted about her birthday boy, Max, and girl, Emme. "School cupcakes. Mom duties. Best feeling ever."
PHOTOS: Jennifer's life with her twins

Some of these include getting rid of old tires, tin cans, bottles, jars, buckets, drums and other containers or keep them emptied. Empty your small toddler-size wading pool weekly and store it indoors when not in use. Make sure your backyard swimming pool is properly cared for while on vacation.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Oklahoma is withdrawing federal funding to three Planned Parenthood clinics in Tulsa that for 18 years has allowed them to provide food and nutritional counseling to low-income mothers a decision that mirrors efforts in other conservative states to defund the group and one its director described Thursday as a short-sighted political maneuver.
The State Department of Health notified Planned Parenthood of the Heartland CEO Jill June in a letter last week that it would be terminating its contracts with the Tulsa facilities at the end of December. The contracts are federally funded through the Women, Infants and Children program. This year, the Planned Parenthood clinics received $454,000, combined.
The Tulsa World first reported on the plan to terminate the agencys contract on Thursday.
The head of the health departments WIC Services division said the decision was based in part on the uncertainty of future federal funds and that Planned Parenthoods cost per participant exceeded those of other Tulsa-area clinics.
There were performance factors included in this decision, said Terry Bryce, the chief of the health departments WIC Services division.
Oklahoma is among the most conservative states, with Republicans currently in control of both legislative chambers and every statewide elected office. But Bryce denied there was any political motive behind the move, which he described as a business decision.
The decision was a collective decision within the agency based on the agencys need, the contractors performance and funding availability.
June questioned whether a business decision was in the best interest of the women and children who receive services at the Tulsa clinics.
I thought the program was about the needs of women and children, she said. Were going to stand and fight to continue providing these services.
The closure affects Planned Parenthood facilities in west Tulsa, midtown and Broken Arrow that average about 3,000 client visits per month, nearly 18 percent of all client visits in Tulsa County, according to health department data.
Bryce said there are no plans to close any of the other 14 clinics in Tulsa County that provide WIC services, and that the remaining clinics will be adequate to accommodate the additional clients.
We have existing WIC clinics in close proximity to all three of these locations, Bryce said.
Planned Parenthood is a major provider of abortion and contraception nationwide, but June said none of the facilities in Tulsa offer abortion services. The nonprofit agency has been at the middle of a hot-button national debate over abortion and contraceptives, and has come under fire in a number of conservative states that have sought to eliminate its funding.
Indiana passed the first law meant to deny Planned Parenthood federal funding for general health services, and the GOP-controlled Legislature in Texas passed a law last year that sought to exclude Planned Parenthood clinics that provide family planning and health services to poor women as part of the Texas Womens Health Program.

Okay, so I think this is the right place to put this.....but on with the story.
So, I'm at the point where I want to kind of branch out with what I'm doing on Ice. Nothing super complicated, but I know him and I know me and we're going to get bored of just going around the arena doing nothing except walk/trot transitions....which he now does very well. He drags his feet though, so I want to get him doing ground poles to teach him to stop being so lazy! However, he has a serious problem with my idea. One pole, fine. Two poles, fine. Three poles? OMG, HECK NO. I have tried getting him to do them from the ground and in the saddle, and he just won't do them. He strikes me as genuinely afraid of them versus just being fresh because when I asked him to walk over them with me leading him, he stopped, planted his feet and wouldn't move, and then when I would move closer to him to whack his butt, he would back up five or so feet until he felt "safe" and then he would relax. When I tried to get him to walk over them with me in the saddle, he stopped, refused to go, and then when I tapped him with the crop, he almost sat down he balked so hard.
Even as I'm writing this, it sounds to me like he understands what I want, but for some reason just won't do it. So how should I go about teaching him? I don't want to ruin his trust that he has in me and I don't want to hurt myself either. Ideas?

The big tank where the sharks and rays are is very nice. You walk out through a tube area where the sharks sometimes go over your head. They even have a tiger shark in the big tank. Outside there is a good view of the harbor as well as the smaller nearby islands that are not part of the cruise, Molokai, Lanai, Kohoolawe. Also look up on the hill over the center at the windmills.Read bluejayro's full Pride of America cruise review

We actually took the "Best of Maui - Plantation, Iao Valley & Ocean Center" offered through NCL. It made for a very long day, but was enjoyable. The Ocean Center, was not what I expected, but I'm probably a bit jaded coming from Alaska. We have an amazing Sea Life Center a few hours from us that does research and educational tours - something I highly recommend, especially if you have young children, if you ever come through Seward on a trip. In general we found the center needs a little bit of TLC, nothing major but their main display - the dolphins - are broken. While small there was still plenty to see swimming in tanks. The best part was probably the view of the ocean and small boat harbor - I took several photos. Souvenir shops were fun, snack places were okay. It was nice and low key - good way to end the excursion.Read thefenderbender's full Pride of America cruise review

We took a city bus out to the Maui Ocean Center ($2-$3)- it is a short walk to the bus stop and the bus takes you right into the parking lot. It is a first rate aquarium and a great place to visit. There are nearby restaurants and shopping here as well. Taking the bus out saved a lot of money over what the cruise line wanted.
