In the wake of the Gosnell verdict, we cannot be satisfied with merely moving on or even simply knowing that Congress has now made moves toward investigating what's happening in abortion clinics across the nation.
"There is no moral distinction between ending a child's life five seconds after birth or five weeks before," Stutzman emphasizes. "It doesn't matter who you are, if you can't come out and say it's wrong to kill newborns, you need to examine your conscience," Stutzman says. The nation needs to do just that right about now, knowing that infanticide happens, and in the cleanest clinics and hospitals, not just in a Gosnellian nightmare.
Here, perhaps we could consider that even the word "abortion," which occasionally creeps out from under the euphemisms, is a euphemism in itself, similar to the military's use of "collateral damage" to mean dead civilians. We all know what's really happening here.

Cervical check
Amir born 11-17-13 ( . )( . ) going for platinum
Baby #2 EDD 9-12-15
With DD I was 3 or 4 cm at 36 weeks, she didn't come till 41 wks and 3 days.
With baby boy I've not dilated more than 1 cm and I'm being induced next week. However I've been having cramping/irregular contractions for a week and half now.
Mommy to Sophie and Simon
"Father, bless me for I have sinned, I did an original sin… I poked a badger with a spoon."
― Eddie Izzard
I had my 36 week appt yesterday. I was only a fingertip. I don't mind the cervical check. I like knowing how dilated I am even though it doesn't mean much. I haven't had any cramping or contractions from being checked.
"God don't make no mistakes!"
I did not have check at 36 weeks. I am 39 weeks now and I am a big fat O (that is 0) :-) I did feel some cramping last night but not completely sure it's because of the cervical check. Plus I would not mind to have my baby now :-). Also, I could be wrong but I think cramping means effacing not dilating. Did not have any contractions yet. With my first, it all happened in the span of 12 hours and he was delivered at 38 weeks.

Review: Calactus is an excellent restaurant. The food is all veg and very vegan friendly. I highly recommend it and we are actually eating there again tonight.. My favorite is the Indian pizza with Tofu cream instead of cheese with the shalome salad And of course the pakoras as an app are not to be missed.!!

JBA co-founder Alan Vickery has stood down as chief executive after admitting to mistakes in managing the company, writes Chris Youett.
The manufacturing specialist warned last week that poor sales at the end of 1998 would lead to a loss of around #6.5 million, despite revenues up 32% to #292 million. Shares fell from a high of more than #12 last year to 50p, but recovered to #1.25 last week.
Vickery has surrendered his role as chief executive of the UK software company to Ken Briddon, but remains chairman.
Financial chief David Williams will leave the board next month, and Frank Berger, of Dutch rival Baan, will take over JBA's US operation.
JBA produces manufacturing and logistics software for the food, clothing, electronic goods and automotive component sectors. Customers include brewer Bass, vacuum-cleaner manufacturer Dyson, and US clothing giant Vanity Fair.
'A major boob was not taking enough care over who sold what into which vertical markets,' said Vickery.
Part of the reshuffle has seen Vickery relinquish control of marketing.
He said: 'I have nothing to do with the marketing side now. I only look at what should be in the product at the planning stage.'
JBA's poor share price has laid it open to take-over, but Vickery said: 'JBA would not be a willing bride for less than #5 per share.'

Accessing Facebook in Vietnam (for Mac)
In my last post I looked at how to access Facebook in Vietnam from a Windows operating system. Mac users: it's your turn today.
Your first option is to change your Domain Name System number, or DNS, which is just like a phone book; it organises computers by replacing their host names with numerical IP addresses. Here are the steps to change your DNS for Macintosh operating systems.
Go to your Network Preferences and select Advanced Options.
Then click the DNS tab, where you will see two boxes.
Now, type one of the following DNS numbers and add it using the + button.188.8.131.52126.96.36.199184.108.40.206.8.4.422.214.171.124126.96.36.199
Finally, hit OK. This may take a little trial and error as some of these DNS numbers can be blocked as well.
If changing your DNS doesn't work, or you are looking for a more permanent solution, you can try editing your host files. This is the solution I personally use but it is more difficult for those who aren't as tech savvy.
Edit your Host File:
Open your Terminal located in Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.
Here you will see an old school dialogue box, where you can type commands. Type sudo nano /etc/hosts after the $.
You will be required to enter your password (As a word of advice, it may not look like you are typing anything here, but you are.)
You will be taken to your host files where you can copy paste the following list.220.127.116.11 facebook.com184.108.40.206 www.facebook.com184.108.40.206 apps.facebook.com126.96.36.199 login.facebook.com126.96.36.199 graph.facebook.com220.127.116.11 static.ak.connect.facebook.com18.104.22.168 developers.facebook.com22.214.171.124 error.facebook.com184.108.40.206 vupload.facebook.com220.127.116.11 upload.facebook.com126.96.36.199 secure.facebook.com188.8.131.52 connect.facebook.com22.214.171.124 channel.facebook.comWhen done, press control-o to save the file.Press enter and then control-x to exit the editor.
Lastly, we want to flush the DNS cache to have our host files work instantly. Type dscacheutil –flushcache after the $ and you're done.
If that does not work, Facebook has a couple more IP address options for you here.
Your final option would be to use a Proxy Server. Please do have a look toward the end of my last post to see how to use one — the steps are the same.

4 Pakistani soldiers killed in car bombing in Quetta
Four Pakistani soldiers have been killed in a car bombing in the southwestern city of Quetta. Four members of Pakistan's Frontier Corps (FC) died in the attack, which occurred at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning local time (2000 GMT on Friday), Pakistani security officials told Xinhua shortly after the incident. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. Thousands of Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since 2001, when Pakistan joined an alliance with the United States in the so-called war on terrorism. Since late 2009, there has been a surge in militant attacks in Pakistan, and thousands have been displaced by the wave of violence and militancy sweeping across the country. KA/HGL

Has anyone made Vogue 1015 pattern and remember their problems? I am making this for my daughter's senior recital and have questions about putting the skirt onto the bodice. This is a fascinating pain to do! The whole pattern, fitting, etc.
Thanks - I'm learning a lot, but would love the wisdom of those who have been there.
I found one review of the dress that seems very detailed that may help as it links to her blog which sounds like goes into detail.
Vogue 1015 pattern review
If you still have questions and no one responds here, you could send Mahogany a pm or I noticed on her review she has links to her blog and you can contact her though that way too.
Best of luck,
I have just made this dressf or my university's graduation ball. I finished the last stitches Sunday night, actually. I will write a review after the ball, when I have photos of me wearing it all made up and styled.
Where exactly is your problem? The construction is really complicated, but fascinating. It sure helps a lot to transfer all the littel triangles and squares and circles - I forgot one of them, on the skirt part 7(?), which gave me a hell of a hard time until I took out the pattern pieces again and marked the right place.
GREAT!!! I have so far, made the muslin of the top - that was ok - I need my daughter to do an extra fitting. I may have to bring in the shoulder straps a bit, but not sure.
I sewed the muslin of the skirt and then thought about sewing it to the top and decided it was better to wait until the top is finished. I'm concerned about two spots - one is the stretching of the skirt to fit the top - I figure I can work that out even though I forgot which is easier to have the piece to be stretched to fit nearest the feed dogs or not.
The real issue is what to do with all the fabric where the gathers and the pleats meet. Did you actually sew this as a seam or just overlap and stitch down since the patch covers the stitching.
I'm sure I'll have more questions when I actually get to the fashion fabric and I'm glad to hear you were successful. It is difficult but really fascinating.
I'm new to PatternReview. Is there a way I can e-mail you directly so I don't have to take up the group's time with detailed questions or should I just continue to reply to the messages? Thanks in advance!

ETA: correct typo and clarification -- Edited on 7/2/10 5:51 AM --
------"The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." --Abraham Lincoln
I had to take in the shoulder straps, too. I also had the necklinee gaping both in front and back, had to adjust the pleats (a lot!) and change the curve where the skirt attaches.
I did make a seam where the pleats meet, but I am not sure that they meet exactly aas instructed. I substituted the gathering in the lower front bodice part with pleats and that changed the line of the piece a bit, I fear. My seam at that position is a bit curved whereas I think it should be straight. I did not put the patch over it, by the way, because that part is heavy enough already and the flowers cover it up anyways.
Thanks for the info. I'm holding off for now on any additional adjustments until I get to see my daughter in a couple of weeks. I'll post more after I actually start to do something. I've never really altered clothing before and this dress is a bunch of puzzle pieces - So far I added an inch to the front bodice neckline (and obviously to the foundation too - haven't done the lining as I'm still in muslin - hope I don't forget!) had to add to the foundation in the waist and center back, but had to take in the right shoulder/upper back area of the back on bodice/foundation.
Why did you adjust the pleats and the curve where the skirt attaches? What issues may I be getting into here? I'm planning on using a Techno Satin fabric I found online which is heavier than the fabric shown but I believe it will have a nice drape- I will be lining it, and making the foundation is light weight cotton.
The pleats on the bodice and my bust just didn't meet in the right way. Call it a wannabe Small Bust Adjustment. I had to change the location of all the darts, by the way, or at least make them bigger/deeper and a bit longer, too. I think my torso above the bust is a bit longer than standard, or my bust is lower and located more tiowards the center front, or whatever. The changing of the skirt attachment curve also belonged to the bust adjusstment - I had to smooth excess width out below the pleats in some way, and that was the easiest way to do it instead of changing those pleats even more.
I have never learnt pattern alteration, never took a course or read a book about it so far, so all I have done is smooth out wrinkles in a way that seemed logical to me. I have read about getting rid of a gaping neckline by slashing & rotating the pattern piece, and applied that technique to other areas as well, but usually I just pinch away excess fabric where it occurs and try to do the same to my pattern pieces. So, bear in mind that there might be better ways to go about adjusting this pattern to your daughter's body than mine.
Oh, another change I made: I made no foundation. The fit is nice enough and with a size 12 and no obvious fat rolls I just don't think I'd need it. I did not like the foundation pattern provided, because I figured having the boning end at the waist might be very uncomfortable. Also, I think that this foundation pattern needs more bones, one on each seam. Otherwise it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me, because I am used to corsets.
Hi again. Have you taken photos? I'd love to see your finished dress.
My daughter is here and I've figured out the bodice and the foundation (YAY). However (there is always a but, isn't there). I think I need to move in the shoulder straps on the back and I don't really know how to do this. For now, I just folded under the top to where I'd like the strap to end. I may have made the straps too long - I'm thinking about all my options.
You said you moved the straps too - do you remember how you did it? Doesn't moving the straps in on the back/front alter the 'point' where they are attached? Do you just do this until it looks right?
Since I am making the foundation, I'm presuming I'll need to alter both bodice and foundation -
but....I'm also a bit concerned that the pattern calls for 4 layers of straps - fabric and lining for both top and foundation. I may just do fabric and one layer of lining and skip the extra step - seems to me like a lot of fabric for a small strap.
Oh, one more thing - the pattern seems to call for boning in the shoulder strap - forgive me, but why would anyone do that? Wouldn't that not lay right? Did you put boning in the straps? I bet not if you didn't bother with the foundation - you'd not then bother with the boning.
Even though I think I fitted the foundation, I may make and line the top and see how it fits without the foundation!
Thanks for your feedback! I've got a headache from this and will quit for tonight.
Judy -- Edited on 7/6/10 8:55 PM --
Tenshi, I now understand your needing to alter the curve on the 'bodice'. I put the skirt and top together and my daughter tried it on. Oh my what a non flattering dress. We scrapped the idea as she lives too far apart to try to make this work. It would need to be completely recrafted.
I found this to be a frustrating but very fun challenge. I feel more accomplished now and hopefully the next pattern we pick will be more flattering.
Thank you for your comments, they were very helpful.

Discussion in 'Global Affairs' started by AbuUsama, Apr 20, 2009.
Source : Case study: Child trafficking in Iraq | World news | The Guardian
Aren't parents allowed to sell their children under Sharia?
God sake, where did you find that from?
Either you are a wind up merchant or just make stupid assumptions about Islaam in your ignorance.
No you cannot.
Note the .<<<< full stop there also known as 'end of this discussion as it is stupid'.
As part of the discussion about Islam allowing slaves, one of the justifications used was that it made sense for some very poor families to sell their children for money. Which seems to have been what's happened here. I'm only going by people's posts though, and my own reading on the subject did not mention it.
What a stupid question.
Anyway back to the story, were they rafidha or something? This is just crazy, selling your child.
Can you link us to the post where it was said?
What? From selling slaves to selling your own kids?
I think there were a few different posts. It's a long thread though.
It's mentioned here:
You could see how the discussion develops on.
I gave an example of how people can become slaves through poverty, which happens in poor country's in order to eat.
I do not know if it's allowed Islamicly.
If someone becomes a slave they can buy their freedom if their master allows it. And Abu Bakr bought and freed slaves.
In no way does what I mentioned that happened in countries where they were poor, equate with what's happening in Iraq
the story was in the guardian, so we dont assume its true, there were thousands of children kidnapped in the war, so presumably excuses from poor orphan child on the roadside, to nasty father sells his son stories will appear to cover up the kidnapping and child trafikers hayday.
Separate names with a comma.

Ilomilo's developers Southend Interactive recently posted a FAQ on their blog
"Today I will answer some frequently asked questions… and also some less frequently asked questions that I find relevant nonetheless.
Q: When are you guys going to release ilomilo?
A: It hasn't been announced yet, but it should be this year at some point.
Q: What formats are you releasing ilomilo for?
A: So far it has only been announced for XBLA, but there is a possibility we will release it for other formats in the future.
Q: I'm a Playstation 3 owner and it doesn't look like you will be releasing ilomilo for PSN. Does this mean you hate PSN?
A: No, we do not hate PSN. In fact we released Tecmo bowl for PSN just recently so we have nothing against it at all. We always want our games to be available on as many platforms as possible, but those decisions are up to the publishers to make."

Loyola University Health System Eye Specialist Gives Tips on Kids and Eye Health
MAYWOOD, Ill. – Nearly 80 percent of what children learn during their first 12 years is through their vision. Though vision problems may seem easy to identify, they actually can be difficult for parents to discern. Still, parents need to be attentive since vision disorders are the fourth-most-common disability in U.S. children. "The symptoms of vision problems in young children can be very subtle. Often, it's not until they are in school that it starts to become apparent," said Dr. Eileen Gable, an eye specialist at Loyola University Health System. Gable gives a few tips to help parents know what to look for: Loses interest quickly. Children won't complain of blurry vision but will lose interest quickly because the visual activity is difficult. Children will do what they need to do in order to see. Does your child: Turn his or her head or tilt it when looking at something? Sit with one eye covered? Change body position to see? Changes in schoolwork or behavior at school. School-age children who can't see may act out in school or their grades may suffer. Parents should be in contact with their child's teacher to better assess a child's behavior. "Teachers are a great resource and should work with parents to help determine if a child's behavior in school or difficulty with grades might be a response to a vision problem," Gable said. To help discern if your child has a vision problem she suggests making sure your child is: Staying hydrated Eating a balanced diet Practicing good sleep habits "Without these key healthy habits, children can have a hard time focusing and may have headaches or other issues that can mimic vision problems," Gable said. "The eye is controlled by muscles; it needs rest, proper nutrition and hydration, too." If a parent or teacher suspects a child has a vision problem, Gable suggests seeking professional care from a pediatric or family eye health specialist so the child feels comfortable. "Having a vision problem can be scary for a child. You want to ensure the physician you see can put the child at ease and be a helpful resource to parents and teachers," Gable said. For media inquiries, please contact Evie Polsley at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (708) 216-5313 or (708) 417-5100.

This plant has been a pure joy to have around. I obtained a couple of semi-dormant cuttings from a very kind and generous gardener in California in December 2009, and they rooted easily in a glass of water during the cold darkness of a Chicago winter. The cuttings have grown easily and steadily since that time in an unshaded north window. It started to bloom this May and has been forming waves of flowers every few weeks. I love everything about this plant: its understated elegance, quiet beauty and unusual flower form. But its best feature is definitely the wonderful fragrance of the flowers. It is a pure, clean, sweet, citrusy scent a lot like Aglaia odorata but maybe stronger.

Ritual and Presentation in Early Buddhist Religious Architecture
Fogelin, Lars, Asian Perspectives: the Journal of Archaeology for Asia and the Pacific
FROM THE FIRST CENTURY B.C. THROUGH THE SECOND CENTURY A.D., South Asian Buddhists focused much of their ritual and worship upon stone or brick mounds, stupas, containing the relics of the Buddha. Some stupas were found in large, open-air complexes that were the focus of pilgrimage by the Buddhist laity. Other smaller stupas were located within the worship halls, chaityas, of Buddhist monasteries carved into the sides of cliffs. In each case, the people who created these temples had to decide how to present the stupa for worship. In both cases, the designers had to accommodate the highly individualistic nature of Buddhist worship while attempting to provide mechanisms to foster group cohesion within the developing Buddhist community. Monks designed their own ritual spaces with the goal of allowing for the mediation of worship by ritual specialists. In contrast, stupa complexes frequented by the laity were designed in a way that effectively limited the potential for ritual leaders and promoted a more egalitarian, spontaneous form of group worship. Further, the architectural layout of the different stupa complexes suggests that the laity, not the monks, were most interested in individual, meditative ritual. These conclusions stand in marked contrast to traditional discussions of early Buddhism derived from textual sources, which date from later periods.
In this paper, the architectural plans of 13 Buddhist stupa complexes of the first century B.C. through the second century A.D. are examined in order to assess the nature of ritual presentation in two forms of ritual architecture, one focusing on the Buddhist laity and the other dominated by the clergy. This analysis presents a new theoretical and methodological tool for archaeological studies of ritual architecture, while exploring an issue central to contemporary Buddhist studies--ritual practice and the relations between monks and laity. Before turning to the specifics of this analysis, I first provide some background on early Buddhist history and thought, focusing on specific rituals and on the role of the stupa in Buddhist worship. This is followed by a brief summary of previous anthropological approaches to ritual and ritual architecture before discussing the architectural methodology used in this paper. The locations of the 13 complexes are indicated on Figure 1.
This paper introduces a method, derived from theater and set design, for investigating religious ideology through architectural forms of presentation. Specifically, analyzing how someone or something is shown to an audience illuminates the goals of that presentation. This is accomplished by studying what is seen, how it is seen, and perhaps most importantly, what is hidden. In the case of early Buddhism, the architectural forms of presentation illustrate underlying tensions between the individual and group and between the clergy and the laity. While this paper presents an archaeological methodology for the examination of ritual architecture, it is strongly situated within the specific context of early historic South Asia. Applications in other social contexts are possible, but must be situated within their own specific social and historical contexts.
Until recently, a general abstract of early Buddhist history was largely accepted by most scholars (Barnes 1995; Basham 1967; Chakrabarti 1995; Lamotte 1988). The Buddha lived from 563 to 483 B.C. Over the succeeding centuries Buddhism was accepted by growing numbers of followers, and religious sites were established at locales associated with the Buddha's life. In the third century B.C., the Mauryan emperor Asoka adopted Buddhism as a result of his remorse over the loss of life resulting from his conquest of the Kalinga on the eastern coast of India. After this, Asoka promoted Buddhism throughout South Asia through inscriptions proclaiming Buddhist doctrine and the support of Buddhist institutions. …

Chemical-Resistant Blister Packs
Dentistry and oral care products specialist Remedent, Inc., based in Deurle, Belgium, and El Segundo, CA, has introduced peroxide-laden, tooth-whitening sponge foam strips packaged in specially structured, thermoformed blister packs.
Remedent opted for a coextruded polypropylene blister film manufactured by Tekni-Plex's Tekni-Films Div. (www.tekni-films.com). It incorporates a core layer of cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) from Topas (www.topas.com).
The PP interior and exterior surface layers of the blister film structure provide needed inertness to peroxide while the COC core layer delivers additional chemical resistance high moisture barrier for a 14- to 18-month shelf life and inherent stiffness that gives the blisters a solid upscale feel. The blister packs are sealed with Tekni-Films' Teknilid® WPSPPE peelable lidding foil containing a peroxide-resistant adhesive.
Remedent includes the blister packs of peroxide strips in two different tooth whitening products—MetaTray for dentist office use and iWhite sold over-the-counter to consumers. With both products the user removes a foam strip from the peel-open blister pack and positions it in a dental mold designed to hold the strip against the teeth. When the dental mold is pressed around the teeth peroxide gel in the sponge foam strip is released onto the enamel surfaces of the teeth and the enamel bleaching process is initiated.
Tekni-Plex developed the entire packaging system in a fast-track project to meet Remedent's market launch date. Pol Lombaert Remedent's production and R&D manager for chemistry says "Tekni-Plex came through with an excellent package in record time."
