After getting back from our trip to Chacahua we went more or less directly to Barra de la Cruz. We were just two days back in Puerto to get things sorted out for our further travels.
In Puerto we somehow came by a wonderful retro fish. The guy selling it was just to light for this full floater and wanted therefore to get rid of it. Perfect for Ben/Armin. The fish has got some nice, huge FCS FK-1 Fins, a purple leash, fitting to the mostly purple colour of the fish. The dimensions are 5"11'x22'x2.5' and it surfs really, really well. You get just about every wave you are trying to catch, no matter how small it is, which is perfect for the current conditions here in Barra de la Cruz.
We were travelling with 3 boards and a 4th would have been too much, so we sold the bigger board of Bea, together with some spare fins, our old longboard bag and other stuff for waaaay to much money. It is sometimes nice that there are enough guys opening a surf shop without any knowledge about surfing…..
The journey from Puerto Escondido down to Barra de la Cruz was easy. First we had to take a bus to Huatulco. From there we had to take another bus heading for Salina Cruz. Firstly the busdriver didn't want to let us get in because of the 7"1 surfbag, which was too big for his bus in his opionion. Luckily Mexicans are always trying to help. Some guys standing around noticed that we struggled getting a bus ride and were then messing around with the bus driver as long as it needed to get him to take the bag into the fond of his, anyway nearly empty, bus.
From the bus stop it needed a taxi ride to get down to Barra de la Cruz. We were directly heading to a place called Pepe's Cabanas, which was recommended by a girl back at Hostal Buena Ronda. It sure is really nice, Pepe is a great guy always trying to help.
From Pepe's it is a 20-minute walk down to the surf beach. You always need to pay 20 Pesos to get to the beach. Some sort of admission to keep the beaches clean and support the building of showers and stuff.
Paying 2$ is not a lot (in european means) to go surfing, but here in Mexico it is quite a lot of money. For 4$ you get a full menu or 3 beers. But paying this fee is so worth it! The beach is picturesque and the surf is awesome and the restaurant at the beach serves awesome food and surprisingly good coffee!
There is still no swell around at the moment but early in the morning the offshore wind helps building up the small waves getting in. With luck you get quite long rides, from the point down to the main beach. The line up is super relaxed, the level still high but it is sooo much more fun surfing this wave than sitting around at El Punto in Puerto Escodido. And it is a right-hander, too, like Chacahua. The paddle out to the Point is really easy, since you can do a lot of the way just by walking at the beach into a hidden beach behind some rocks. From there you just get sucked out by the rip close by the rocks. Not much padelling to get a great wave.
All in all the setup here in Barra de la Cruz is nice and fits us better than Puerto Escondido. We probably will stay another few days before heading to Guatemala, doing some touri stuff for about a week. And then it is not much longer until we meet some of our good friends in El Salvador. Guys we look forward seeing you down here!

The new round of Zodiac has started and this time its Pisces which means I get to fish it up as a mermaid..'cos I need an excuse to be random fantasy creatures.
Clothes & Skins & Hairs..oh my!
Today was an exciting day because my friend Kaelyn Alecto opened her sim and it's so pretty! Seriously, it's amazing and she's done it all for people to enjoy and take pictures and hang out and just be social and have fun and you all need to go visit! I do have one problem though….there are birds..
There is a new event in town but this time you're going to have to work for the booty! Global Domination by The Hottie Cooterati Experience is an event with a difference. There is no hunting and it's not a sim with the designers all under one roof. This event requires brain power to solve games and puzzles to unlock the fabulous prizes!
So, I know you think I blogged this sweater in my last post but trust me, that's a completely different sweater…it just looks exactly the same…and is from the same store…alright, shut up, I forgot I already blogged it…
There are times when I go shopping and I consciously make an effort to buy something in a colour I wouldn't normally go for. That happened today when I popped over to get this gorgeous sweater and was faced with a wall of colour!
The February round of Collabor88 started today and there are some amazing things out! I know I say this every month but seriously, I'm always stunned with the quality of imagination of the designers and creators.
GUESS WHAT EVERYONE! IT'S MY BLOGIVERSARY!! Today Not Quite Pink is 3 whole years old! Awww it seems like just yesterday I was buying it it's first pair of Gos shoes and watching it get it's first referrals…oh, here come the tears….(sniffle, sob)…

Motor Union Event Recap
Motor Union 4 was an amazing event. It's not really a car show, but more of a gathering of eclectic vehicles and great people. The guys at 5 & A Dime did a great job with creating a lifestyle experience with cars as a focal point. Held at the Green Flash Brewery in San Diego, the venue was as unique as the event is. The raffle prizes were a great addition with everything from car care to t-shirts to 9Five sunglasses. Vendors displayed everything from lifestyle apparel to bicycles and more. This was my first time to attend and I'm sure I'll be back next year. Thanks to Jay and the crew for putting on an awesome event and also saving me a spot to park the Veloster inside.
Check out the photos of all diverse vehicles.

The 2015 CRM Resource and Guide
The emergence of customer relationship management (CRM) has transformed how companies store, process, and manage customer information. From the first handshake to the last purchase order, companies can now recall everything about their interactions with customers, stored into perpetuity. The strategy, systems and processes that enable this are generally called customer relationship management. The software solutions that enable it have earned the name customer relationship management software, or CRM software.
This guide will help you understand what CRM is today, how it evolved, and what is important to look for when considering one for your business.

|We asked Marina Pisklakova, our human rights defender from Russia, what is Cedaw's relevance and its merit: "The Convention was an important step to recognize specifically Women's Human rights, because prior to that women's discrimination was not visible and obvious for the societies and it gave a responsibility to participating states to change the situation in their countries."
MMarina deals with the issue of domestic violence and is a leading women's rights activist at international level. She is one of the defenders interviews by Kerry Kennedy for the "Speak Truth To Power" book who is part of our human rights education program. In regards to the project, Marina recently declared in an interview: "It makes violence against women one of human rights violations and puts the issue at a different level and on the different agenda with governments and communities. Visibility of the issue and opportunity to speak about it, and raise awareness, is really priceless, it has really tremendous value. Because domestic violence really feeds on silence. It's very good material. To explain and educate. So it is an opportunity for them, both boys and girls, to learn."

Free concert of Civil War music Wednesday
A nationally recognized Alabama musician will present a Wednesday, June 22 concert of Civil War tunes at Mississippi State as part of his role in the university's first Social Studies Teachers' Institute.
Bobby Horton will perform popular selections from both the Union and Confederate sides in America's greatest internal conflict. His free program begins at 7 p.m. in the Robert and Freda Harrison Auditorium of Giles Hall, home of the College of Architecture, Art and Design.
"Bobby Horton is, without doubt, the most talented and most famous performer of Civil War music in the nation today," said John F. Marszalek, executive director and managing editor of the campus-based Ulysses S. Grant Association. "MSU and the Starkville community are fortunate to have the opportunity to hear him. No one should miss the chance."
Horton is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and music historian whose work has been featured in more than 15 compact disc recordings. He has performed throughout the United States individually, as well as with the musical comedy trio, "Three On a String."
His music has been featured on 13 PBS films by Ken Burns including "The Civil War," and "Baseball," two films for the A&E Network, as well as 16 National Park Service films. (For more, visit http://bobbyhorton.com.)
Horton is among participants in the Social Studies Teachers' Summer Institute sponsored by the National Park Service's Vicksburg and Shiloh national military parks, along with MSU Libraries and the Grant Association.
Thirty teachers from schools throughout Mississippi will be participating in the six-day institute that includes lectures by Civil War scholars and visits to battlefields in Shiloh, Corinth and Vicksburg.

Pope John Paul II was a force of nature, a man of iron will and passionate spirituality, who was also blessed with a quick wit, a magnetic personality, and a fearless moral temperament.
There can be no gainsaying his extraordinary achievements, both on the world stage and as one of the most compelling Christian witnesses of our time. The millions who poured into Rome to view his body and attend his funeral were the most obvious testimony...

Tasty Dog in the Kingdom: This Cambodian Life #72. Delilah Marie has a strange new malady and so goes to the doctor. However, no fancy expat clinic provides the diagnosis, but a regular Cambodian doctor on Street 110 for just $10. At that price, you don't even need to fool with insurance! She then launches into the topic of acid throwing, a sad but too prevalent form of retribution and revenge for jilted lovers and jealous wives. Just be careful who you entangle yourself with when visiting the kingdom.

Tasty Dog in the Kingdom: This Cambodian Life #16. Delilah Marie gets her paranoid old lady on to chronicle some common ailments that you can pick up here, which sound both exotic and not-so-enticing, dispenses advice about where to go if something serious happens (Bangkok, of course), and then has a whinge as she lists the maladies she's picked up in the past month. The episode concludes with some evil, barking dogs – but you actually have to listen to the episode to find out why these are included.

Solaris versus Linux OpenGL performance
Has anyone examined the performance of OpenGL with Nvidia's driver on Solaris 10 versus Linux?
I have done some benchmarks using the same code compiled the same way-- on Solaris I setup it up as a real time process and on SuSE Enterprise Linux I setup it up as a regular process with the default priority 10. On Solaris when the application runs, it locks the system so it has exclusive access to all the resources. I am using a GeForce 7600 with driver 1.0 - 9755 on a PC with both OSes installed.
When I benchmark just the transfer from GPU to CPU (glReadPixels) I get a ~10% improvement in transfer time with Solaris versus Linux. However when I render, Solaris takes ~14% longer than SuSE. In the render I just issue commands to the GPU, i.e. set GL state parameters and tell GPU with sections of the vertex buffer to render from, and write to what texture.
I checked the GPU environment variables to make sure they are the same on the two OSes. I believe the issue is due to the driver and/or Solaris OS providing extra robustness checks that the SuSE Linux OS does not. Does anyone have experience with this issue or insight?

My work points to the potential for transformation and transcendence of the every day, the ugly, and the over looked. A slowing down is required- both in the creation and the experience of the work. There is a recurring contemplation on the interconnectivity of everything around us- rivers are highways are veins. Deteriorating walls become a portrait of time and a record of human touch. The fragility of the body is experienced in the crumbling buildings I see when I walk downtown.
An awareness of the temporal is woven into nearly every conceptual and process oriented aspect of my work. I often evoke a single moment that has been paused, while multiple layers of information unfold. This relates to the process of remembering as the body is paused in the present while the mind enters into the past. Experience with loss in my life has inspired meditation on wider themes. I often use fragile, un-archival materials to evoke a sense of duration. The uncertainty of life in general is a simple yet powerful driving force behind my work.

Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Color Reviews
My favorite nail polishI love everything about this nail polish- it's incredibly cheap, it comes in tons of fun colors, and it goes on smoothly. I prefer it to Essie, it is probably second only to the Sephora brand nail polish. — 2 years, 4 months agosonomamel | 7 reviews
Great coverage.I paint my nails just about every day and this polish gives great coverage with the first coat so you don't even have to put a second one on. I'd recommend a topcoat if you want to wear this for days at a time but its really good for its chip-free qualities. — 2 years, 9 months agodanielbennett86 | 26 reviews
Review subjectWent on smooth and dried fast. However, it started peeling pretty quickly (the next day). Maybe that's because I used Wet n Wild clear polish as a base and top coat - not sure. Also, the application was pretty thick, as the brush is large and it's hard to get a small amount on the nail. So perhaps that also contributed to the early peeling. — 2 years, 10 months agostella_couch | 25 reviews
I LOVE thisI have the shade I Need a Refresh-mint, which is a gorgeous minty blue shade. The brush is actually really easy to work with. It's wide and flat, instead of the typical thin and round brush, so it is really easy to get the color onto the nails without having to deal with streaking. One of my nails did experience these weird little holes that appeared in the polish (like really small. They looked l...read moreike blackheads on my nail, but even smaller) but I think I just didn't let it dry fully before I started using that finger.

Overall, a fantastic polish. — 2 years, 10 months agolovemuffin | 66 reviews

Review subjectCool colors, but the brush is awful! It is almost impossible to not get polish on cuticles and skin next to the nail. The shank of the brush is too wide, so much polish collects on it that it literally drips while trying to apply the polish! In over 50 years of polishing my nails this is by far the worst brush I have ever tried to use! — 2 years, 11 months agokmduck | 1 reviews
Review subjectI have this in I Need A Refresh-Mint and I seriously want to paint my whole house this color. It's so girly and pretty, and it goes on nice and even.

Not badWhen I first saw this brand of nail polish at my local drug store, I was amazed at the color selection and I thought that the bottle design was really cute.

Do you just play old or less demanding games?
Anyway, the bottom line is that a q9550 + 2 480's will be a hell of a lot faster than an i7 and 1 480. Sure the i7 is a better cpu, but it's not nearly as big a jump as a second 480 would be.
Edit: If your CPU bottlenecks your 480, why do you have your 480 overclocked? Overclocking a video card that bottlenecked by the CPU will give zero performance benefit, so you might as well leave it at stock.
I didn't say ALL the time, I said most of the time. Mainly because I play older games more often than not. When I play newer games like Metro in DX11, then yes, the GPU is working 80 - 100%. I just believe he would benefit more from an overclocked I7 and a 480 over 480 SLI with an overclocked Q9550. Very few games would properly utilise that much processing power.
The question we should be asking is, what type of games does he play normally? If 90% of the time spent gaming is on something like DX11 BC2, then yes. Go get another 480. If it's spent playing games like MW2, WoW, GTA IV or Fallout 3, upgrade the CPU/Motherboard/Ram.

You may or may not know that Ezra "Buddha" Masters, the man who was a Tailor Made away from winning New York's heart on I Love New York 2, occasionally appears on the erotic cable series Zane's Sex Chronicles. In the clip below, our boy keeps the skin in Skinemax, baring his butt in a sex scene at around the 2:27 mark. This video seems to have been recorded off TV via camcorder, but it is clear nonetheless. That is to say his full moon shines bright, so this NSFW…unless you happen to work in an underwear factory.
Note, that video's been deleted, but you can catch Buddha's Zane reel below. No more butt, though. :(

"There are numbers and statistics when you start talking about a budget but what's not talked about is how these stories affect lives."
Seattle City Councillor
Improving the access to healthy and appropriate foods in the South Park neighborhood has been an ongoing focus of the MOVE project. A wide variety of projects and partners have been working hard to grow local produce and improve food access, some for many years. We wanted to check in on how things are going in South Park, especially since it is the height of harvest season.
As we're about to hold our fourth forum, we've been granted the luxury of learning from our mistakes. Here are just a few of the challenges we faced in showcasing our stories through community forums, and what we've figured out along the way.
We know that stories can help persuade decision-makers about the value of an existing program or the need for new policy. Now, research demonstrates that stories can even be more effective than numbers, not just a complement to statistical data.
After most people had filed out of yesterday afternoon's forum in the International District, the organizing partners gathered for a debriefing circle. We agreed that by many measures, this event was a great success. In fact, in some ways I think many of us were surprised by the powerful event that seemed to have taken on its own life there in front of us!

WASHINGTON, May 19, 1997 NATO and Russia are forming a new partnership that will link the former Cold War foe to Western Europe, White House officials announced May 14.
NATO Secretary General Javier Solana and Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov finalized an agreement setting up a practical partnership between the alliance and Russia.
Quoted by Reuters news agency, Solana said, "I do think we can be very proud about what we have achieved at this point in the agreement and, without any doubt, we will open a new age in the history of NATO relations with Russia and the stability of our countries."
Pending approval by the North Atlantic Council and Russian President Boris Yeltsin, the Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and the Russian Federation is scheduled to be signed by NATO and Yeltsin in Paris May 27, officials said. The agreement builds on understandings reached by President Clinton and Yeltsin in Helsinki, Finland, earlier this year.
Clinton hailed the agreement reached in Moscow as a "historic step closer to a peaceful, undivided, democratic Europe for the first time in history." It forms a practical partnership that will make America, Europe and Russia stronger and more secure, he said.
"It helps to pave the way for NATO as it enlarges to take in new members to build a relationship with Russia that benefits all of us," Clinton said.
NATO is expected to invite candidate members to begin assession talks for the first time since the Cold War at a July summit in Madrid. The goal is to complete the assession process is by NATO's 50th anniversary in 1999. Countries admitted will have full rights and responsibilities, officials said, and the door to membership will remain open to all emerging European democracies.
Russian leaders steadfastly oppose NATO enlargement, but Clinton and Yeltsin "agreed to disagree" on the subject in Helsinki and said it should not affect other aspects of developing relations, a DoD official said.
NATO can enlarge and strengthen its partnership with Russia "in a way that advances our common objectives of freedom and human rights and peace and prosperity," Clinton said. "We can build a better Europe without lines or gray zones, but with real security, real peace, and real hope for all its citizens. A more secure, peaceful and hopeful Europe clearly means a better world for Americans in the 21st century."
The partnership reflects a change in the thinking that has dominated international politics for 50 years, Clinton noted. "We're trying to prove democracies can reach across territorial lines to form partnerships that commit themselves not only to preserve freedom within each other's borders ... but to face these new transnational threats like terrorism, ethnic convulsions and weapons proliferation," he said.
As one White House official put it, "This is a win-win-win. It's good for America, it's good for Europe, and it's good for Russia."
Under the Founding Act, NATO and Russia will consult and coordinate regularly and, where possible and appropriate, act jointly, as they are doing in Bosnia now, White House officials said.
The agreement sets basic principles for relations, including commitment to respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states, peaceful settlement of disputes and the inherent right of every country to choose its own means of self-defense. The act also sets up a NATO-Russia Permanent Joint Council as a new forum for consultations.
The act formalizes NATO's stated position that the alliance has no reason, no plan and no intention to deploy nuclear weapons in new members' territory. NATO will not put permanently station troops in new members' territory but does require adequate infrastructure.
The Founding Act also states NATO and Russia will work to adapt the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty to reflect the changed security environment since the treaty was completed in 1990. The new act also calls for closer military-to-military cooperation, including liaison missions at NATO headquarters and in Russia.
Provisions of the document do not give NATO or Russia the right of veto over the actions of other members, DoD officials. Nothing in the act restricts NATO's ability to act independently and carry out all its missions. The alliance remains free to take action at any stage, on any issue, officials said.

Is a zero-lot line or narrow-lot line home right
for you? Before "going narrow," here are a few things
to consider:
Privacy and design: Solitude seekers should
probably opt more for designs with more outdoor living space in
the rear. Gregarious types will probably favor a big front porch.
Note that views from the side will generally be of either a tall
fence or the wall of your neighbor's zero-lot line home -- possibly
even a view into your neighbor's windows. Either buy a home with
a staggered windows or privacy fences, or consider plantation shutters
or thick drapes.
Yard maintenance: It's almost negligible, except
the optional garden. Many homeowner associations include lawn service
in their fees. If not, it's your responsibility.
Storage: There may be minimal storage capacity
for lawn-care tools and personal effects as the trade-off for more
living space. You may have to swallow the $50 or $60 a month (or
more) for remote self storage.
Safety: The closer the neighbors, the more
eyes on your property, which can be good or bad. Do consider that
closer spacing between homes increases the risk of fires spreading.
Small children, pets: The smaller yards don't
provide ample space for children or active dogs to romp. Hence,
most kids will take to the streets to play with neighbors. A location
in a low-traffic area can alleviate some of those concerns.
Air circulation and lighting: With houses 10
feet apart, there may be minimal window ventilation and little natural
light at sunset and sunrise. Some newer formats address the circulation
with better home positioning, and have skylights or extra windows.
Home decor: Overstuffed furniture, wall-length
decor and large conversations pieces that fit comfortably in your
old spread may not conform as well to a narrow design.
Amenity centers: Larger zero-lot line developments
are more likely to have pools, sports courts, picnic areas and other
recreational areas nearby for common use.
Homeowner's associations: Their quality and
costs vary greatly. Before buying, know what your association does
and doesn't do and what it restricts.
Investment potential: It's always a question
mark, but zero-lot line homes are appreciating at market rate thus

Is it ever justifiable to undermine one of our civil liberties in the name of security? The fact that some people would even think that it's okay is disturbing. Why so? Because all rights are inextricably linked and you can't compromise or undermine one without compromising the others.
If you follow the legislation coming out of Sacramento in the last few years then you are aware of a concerted effort by a small block of determined liberals, known as the gun-grabbers. They try to pass every sort of wacky, good for nothing, restrictive gun legislation their imaginations will allow. At the same time they are trying to justify this dangerous radicalism under the pretext of your personal security.
"If it only saves one life" is their new mantra. Can you imagine what kind of country we would have today if that was the litmus test used by our founders? What rights might we enjoy without risk? That leftist rhetoric is meant to justify taking away some freedom and this is the first thing to happen in the wake of any tragic event involving a firearm. Liberals know this is a great time to sidestep logic and exploit our emotions. Most recently we saw this baloney come from Barack Obama and Joe Biden over the crazy guy at Sand Hook. Biden said, "As the president said, if your actions result in only saving one life, they're worth taking. But, I'm convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm's way if we act responsibly." In other words, [responsible] would be a nation-wide gun ban on anything our dear federal authorities deemed appropriate, starting with those so-called [Assault Weapons]. Hey, we tried it already Joe!
The "saving a life" canard is just blatant hypocrisy designed to play on our emotions. Emotions manipulate voters in ways that logic and facts can't. It's disturbing that this false argument has been so effective on so many! Good luck America…we're going to need it!
When a crime is in progress, who's there? You are your own first responder.
This administration and the progressive Democrats are just plain nuts, besides being the biggest hypocrites of our time. Take their mantra for the Sandy Hook gun control, "If it only saves one life" and apply it to the abortion debate where millions of children have been killed by abortion shows their hypocrisy. If it was really about saving children they'd be just as concerned and outraged about the aborted child's life.
If children are not at schools because of a crazy person with a gun or a certified doctor with a surgical tool they're both equally responsible for them not being there. One can not be condoned while the other is condemned.
The gun control issue isn't about saving lives, it's about preventing us from defending ourselves from a tyrannical government.
If there is one thing that disturbs me the most about the far left and their gun control, it's their hypocrisy. Peggy you make good points here too! How can a person who has risen to the highest office in the US not understand the sheer stupidity of saying…"if it only saves one life" so we're going to wipe out the 2nd amendment and we're going to pursue abortions without restrictions?
I think the people at the top really do get it, but they don't care because they're counting on the voters not to! They think we're that stupid. We've seen that mantra picked up by gun grabbers in Sacramento and trotted out for press releases like they were really saying something clever and caring…it's for the children, if it only saves one child, etc.
The scary part is the voters really don't seem to be getting it; they're playing along with these schmucks and they keep re-electing them!!!!
When seconds count the cops are only minutes away.
As is the undertaker
Ultimately, each individual is responsible for their own security. The Boy Scout motto says it best.
And removing our freedoms in the name of "security" is an excuse for extending goofernment control of our lives. Phooey!
Peggy, unless you believe every doctor who has ever performed an abortion, as well as every woman who has ever procured one, should face the same legal punishment as, say, James Holmes, you cannot honestly claim that the life of an aborted fetus is morally equivalent to the life of a born child.
99% of abortions occur before a fetus has any brain function or cerebral cortex whatsoever. How we define personhood and murder in this country has to be based on brain function; otherwise, it is murder to pull the plug on a brain-dead person.
I do believe that everyone who has performed an abortion and every woman who has chosen to abort her child has killed that child. The only exception I make is if the unborn child puts the mother's life at risk. The mother then has the right to choose what to do under the advise of her doctor. Believe me there are woman who will choose her child. I was one of them.
As I've said before if it is illegal to harm the egg of a turtle or eagle, punishable by a large fine and prison time, an unborn child should be provided the SAME protection. There's PETA that protest the harming of any living creature, except humans. There's vegans and vegetarians who won't eat the meat of a animal that has been killed including eggs. Why aren't they protesting the killing of a child?
My obvious point Chris is why isn't the life of a unborn human child equal to the same protection as an unborn animal? When did the lives of animals become more worthy in this crazy upside down world?
I don't care that 99% of abortions occur before the brain has developed, because I do believe life begins at conception since human fetuses become human babies and not turtles, if given the chance to develop.
Peggy, take a look at the information I found regarding conception in the Lady Gaga article. Birth control pills can be sold as prevention but other forms of what is considered "prevention" actually destroys a fertilized egg, after conception has occurred. Once again the forces of power use the language to deceive.
I'm with you. A society that has fits over endangered turtle eggs and yet will not accept the fertilized human egg as viable and treat it with the same respect is a society that has lost its moral compass. The miracle of bringing human life into the world is being lost on crass, self centered generations of people.
And I'm not sure that 99% figure is accurate either. We seem to be hearing a lot about later term abortions these days. When you consider that our parents are the most important people in our lives, the people who are most likely to love us and care for us unconditionally, its a very sad message that we send when terminating a life is accepted as a natural and normal part of living.
a pregnant woman doesn't wait a number of weeks before referring to the new life within her as "my baby" or "the baby". It's understood that a very distinctive, one-of-a-kind, new life is growing and being protected and nurtured within her body. The idea that it would not be considered a living being would be abhorrent and ridiculous to most mothers.
A person, a human being, is more than brain function but even if that is our measure how do we resolve the issue of sufficient development? One would have to believe that on day x abortion is acceptable but on day x+1 it is not because there is suddenly sufficient change to claim person-hood has been achieved. Bizarre…and only possible if a person is willing to suspend what she knows to be true. At three weeks the brain has already begun to develop and will continue growing gradually until well after birth.
Can we define people only in terms of brain activity? Would we want to? We aren't talking robots here, I don't care how imposing a presence Gort was in "When the Earth Stood Still". Awareness, consciousness, personality…do they all develop slowly as well? What of the soul? There is so much about the mystery of life we do not know.
Back to the subject at hand…just as women have the responsibility to nurture and protect human life within, men (and women) have the responsibility to nurture and protect their families. Government cannot do that…and if truth be told, it is distant and cold and does not care.
Tina, you're right. There is a difference between birth control pills that prevent an egg from being released in to the fallopian tube to be fertilized from a pill that destroys an already fertilized egg. The same would also apply to an IUD that prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus wall. IUDs would act much like a constant D&C.
What's sad about that 99% statement about the brain function is his belief that since so many think it's acceptable then it must be ok. Let's apply that same reasoning to the Hawaiian culture that years ago believed it was acceptable to sacrifice virgins to appease their gods. Since the vast majority believed it acceptable did the rest of the world also have to accept it? Of course not. How about Hitler's holocaust of the Jews? The majority thought it acceptable. Also, the brain is in development from the very beginning when the egg was fertilized as are the cells that determine what will be formed into arms, heart, etc.
The concept of taking a life whether it's to rid oneself of an unwanted burden, to appease a god, to wipe out a whole race as Hitler attempted to do, or at the hand of a crazed individual with a gun is unacceptable and to try and justify the validity of it with a 99% think it's ok ridicules.
The change Tina must come from each of us individually from knowing what is right and the type of moral society the world we live in will be. Will it be one where every living creature is valued or one that let's our government determine who will live and who will die? Morality can not be legislated unless we allow it be. Moral people need to wake up and decide.
To get back to Jack's original topic of "Liberty vs. Security." I believe our liberty is up most as defined in our Constitution and our personal security is accomplished by the enforcement of the laws designed to protect us. Our security is jeopardized when the laws are not enforced and laws are written for political reasons instead of for social good.
I would like a 10 year mandatory prison sentence if a gun is used during a crime when the criminal is found guilty. And I mean 10 years in a federal prison not some county jail. I am also for more education and training for gun ownership. I honestly don't think the mother of Adam Lanza would have had those guns in her home or taken her son target shooting if she had realized the dangerous situation she had created. But, I'm also against taking away the guns of someone who took anti-anxiety pills once 10 years ago like the news story that came out recently.
A balance has to be found that guarantees our liberties and also protects us from those who willfully harm us.
Have to go. Good discussion.
Here is a problem you sometimes have with an open forum and liberal mindsets. We start with one post about what the real intent of all California's recent rash and ill conceived new anti gun bills. Liberal legislators who ignore the obvious precautionary reasons of being able to protect ourselves in violent situations, even to the point where we have to become the aggressors while waiting for the police.
However then suddenly it's a discussion about the value of unborn fetus verse living children. The discussion was diverted from the original subject because of a fraction of one sentence used out of framework.
It starts with Jacks comment about the "saving of one life canard is just blatant hypocrisy" (I agree) and Peggy, compares that same hypocrisy to liberals lack of concern over caring about aborted fetus's and just saving one life. What happens next is Chris switches to an entirely different discussion, most likely to divert away from Jacks point.
Well, like Peggy, I suggest we get back to the message Jack was trying to make, as painful as it may be for any activist liberal who is in support of Anti-gun legislators. Yes those gun grabbers are using a tragedy to promote their goals of making legal gun ownership difficult, if not impossible. A gun and proper training of its use, if for no other reason is no more than a tool to have in case of immediate protection from criminal intentions.. But California legislators are making ownership of guns so difficult that people will stop trying to buy them… I also believe some have stopped out of concern that this current overreaching Government will misuse their personal information. You know, like the resent revelations about the NSA and IRS.
By the way RHT447, excellent link! Brings home the benefits and some critical needs of owning a gun!
Thank you Harold, I agree.
Jack I'm sorry for contributing to taking your subject off topic. My mama grizzly comes out when it comes to saving the lives of children, even if it is just one at a time.
Back to guns. Where are we with ammo? I know someone who has a couple of guns, and after Obama started talking about gun control they went out and bought some ammo, but wasn't able to find any for one gun. Without the bullets the guns will be useless. They don't want to go target practice if they can't replace when it may be needed for protection.
What's the state doing in regards to ammo limitations, fees and registration? Sorry, haven't been keeping up with what our state officials have been doing.
"What's the state doing in regards to ammo limitations, fees and registration? Sorry, haven't been keeping up with what our state officials have been doing."
Here are a couple of handy links…
Look what Alaska just did.
Alaska Just Nullified Unconstitutional Gun Control Laws:
The 49th state to join the Union has become the second to successfully traverse the perilous waters of nullification. In a sweeping reform, the state of Alaska has deemed that rights of the citizenry guaranteed under the state and national constitutions will no longer be ignored or side-stepped by an over-zealous federal government.
Utilizing the Tenth Amendment — which protects the rights of states to do whatever the federal government can't do — Alaska has completely cut funding to a number of unconstitutional and illegal federal programs, including programs that violate the Second Amendment. This means enforcing those laws in Alaska is now essentially impossible.
The law was passed by Alaskan Governor Sean Parnell and is arguably the most sweeping reform issued by the state to date.
From our friends at the Tenth Amendment Center:
The federal government depends on state resources to enforce its laws. By pulling the rug out from under the feds, and denying state and local assistance to federal agents, Alaska effectively nullified indefinite detention, along with unconstitutional federal firearms regulations.

We should write a letter of thanks to Alaska for setting a better example of what it means to be a free state than CA ever could!

That is so true! I work in the Automotive repair field and I have internet impaired customers that can't use the net to get what they want for their cars.
Tires, Brakes, Stereos, They just don't get the computer and the net.
I actually charge them to go on the net and find the things that they need!.
Even after I suggest that they can locate the items themselves if they go online!
Just this weekend alone, I ordered some parts for my Dishwasher, Some parts for my Oven/Stove, Some parts for my Oil Burner, Some Food from Stop & Shop via PeaPods, I made an appointment for a Haircut, I evan paid my bills! I did this over the net without ever leaving my Home, My Football games, And all of you wonderful drummers that I consider my best friends in the world!
I kind of like old drums:)

Warrior coach gets first look at Crown Coliseum
J.F. Webb coach Leo Brunelli got a look at Fayetteville's Crown Coliseum Monday as representatives from each school in the NCHSAA Eastern Regional partook in an event-opening press conference.
The coaches also toured the coliseum and met with the media.
Crown Coliseum was built in 1997 and seats around 9,500 for basketball.
Some of the coaches seemed concerned about players having to STEP on and off the hardwood. The coliseum is home to the Fayetteville Fire Antz ice hockey team as well as the Cape Fear Heroes indoor football team, making for an unconventional basketball arena layout.
Webb faces Eastern Alamance on Friday. When it comes to playing on big stages, the Warriors have a decided advantage having played in three high profile tournaments (Greensboro Coliseum included as a venue) along with trips to hostile, packed gyms like Person and Chapel Hill.
Star player Isaiah Hicks said the game at Person, a close win for Webb, was the most intense game the team has played this season.

We are excited to announce that Primary Children's Medical Center ranked 15th in the nation on Parents magazine's annual list of the Best Children's Hospitals.
Parents magazine crunched the numbers with guidance from medical advisors, emphasizing treatment-success rates, research studies, and doctors' experience. Where there was a close call, they looked at how hospitals provide extra TLC for families.
They worked with the Children's Hospital Association to conduct the survey last fall. The survey was extensive and considered more than one-thousand pieces of information. More than 60 children's hospitals from across the country participated in the survey.
"Our goal is to always provide the best care for our patients and their families. We are continually working to improve our family support services so a patient's stay is less stressful for parents and families."
– Katy Welkie
Chief Executive Officer
Primary Children's Medical Center
"This national recognition is a testament to the knowledge and outstanding ability of our team of health care professionals. Our commitment is to meet the needs of the children and families in our community, as well as provide the highest care possible."
– Ed Clark, MD
Chief Medical Officer
Primary Children's Medical Center
In addition to ranking hospitals based on their overall quality, Parents magazine also judged hospitals based on six pediatric specialty areas. We are excited that Primary Children's Heart Center earned an impressive 8th place ranking for heart care services at a children's hospital.
"This ranking is well-deserved recognition for all the hard work that the Heart Center staff has put into our program. Building on the legacy of clinical excellence at Primary Children's, the Heart Center provides innovative, collaborative care to treat the most complex congenital heart disease patients."
– Peter Gruber, MD, PhD
Chief of Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery
Primary Children's Heart Center
These rankings recognize Primary Children's Medical Center as one of the very best children's hospitals in the western United States for children to receive care at.
The full results of the extensive survey will appear in the March 2013 issue of Parents magazine on newsstands nationwide on February 12th. You can also view the complete ranking on Parents magazine website.
