Skip to comments.ACLU Files Sweeping Suit Against Catholic Hospitals' Anti-Abortion Policies
Posted on 12/03/2013 1:28:29 PM PST by NYer
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a sweeping federal lawsuit against the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops over its ethical guidelines for Roman Catholic hospitals, arguing the directives were to blame for negligent care of a pregnant woman who went into early labor and whose baby died within hours.
The ACLU alleges the bishops were negligent because their religious directives prevented Tamesha Means from being told that continuing her pregnancy posed grave risks to her health and her child was not likely to survive. She was treated at Mercy Health Muskegon, a Catholic hospital in Michigan.
"It's not just about one woman," said Kary Moss, executive director of the Michigan ACLU. "It's about a nationwide policy created by nonmedical professionals putting patients in harms' way."
The lawsuit comes amid a wave of mergers between Catholic and secular hospital systems throughout the United States, raising questions about how much religious identity the hospitals will retain and whether they will provide medical services that conflict with church teaching. Advocates for abortion rights and others fear the mergers will limit access to a full range of medical care for women. About 13 percent of U.S. hospitals are Catholic.
Sister Mary Ann Walsh, a spokeswoman for the bishops' conference in Washington, said it hadn't been officially notified of the lawsuit and couldn't comment until it received the complaint. Neither Mercy Health Muskegon nor its corporate parent, Trinity Health in Livonia, would comment Monday. Earlier this year, Trinity Health and Catholic Health East completed a merger, combining more than 80 nonprofit hospitals across about 21 states.

Catholic ping!
You CANNOT kill the baby to save the "mother". Period.
So they are suing religious people for being religious?
So the baby died.....because she didn't have an abortion.
Abortion generally is not medical care. Catholic hospitals will sometimes transfer patients when there is a medical reason for a direct abortion. No hospital should be forced to perform procedures which they have a religious and ethical objection to.
Anti Christian Lawyers Union
"It's not just about one woman," said Kary Moss, executive director of the Michigan ACLU. "It's about a nationwide policy created by nonmedical professionals putting patients in harms' way."
Like no one ever died from an abortion, a procedure legalized by non medical people..............
Hey ACLU. STFU and leave American alone.. You are part of the problem not the solution...
...so the ACLU is arguing that the 1st Amendment is unConstitutional?
So an organization that is responsible for insuring that millions of babies have been murdered by abortion is suing because a baby died in a hospital???
What a bunch of assclowns.......
Given the decadent perspective of the Federal courts, and the fact that the vile Obama has appointed his crass ilk to the judiciary, this lawsuit has a good chance of succeeding.Decent people of conscience will have to do some serious thinking and reflection.
It has happened in non-Catholic/non-religious hospitals in the past.The lawsuit is baseless, has no merit, is frivolous and narrow with a false exclusative disciminatory purpose and agenda. All hospitals should be sued in order for it to be a universal inclusive litigation.
I have a hunch that the mother had received no prior prenatal care. That the infections were already in progress when she went into labor. That once the labor broke labor was already commencing. Which means inducing labor would only have meant a more intense labor. The child was not viable no matter what course of action the physicians took.
I'm not a Catholic, but on this issue we stand united.
The ACLU is a cancer on our society.
Cardinal Dolan will be shocked—SHOCKED!—by this revelation that the ACLU is pro-abortion!
Wasn't Obamacare developed by "nonmedical" professionals thereby "putting patients in harms' way"?
It would be unfortunate if anything were to happen to them.
Not that I am advocating violence, grant you, just that I am observing that Christians are running out of cheeks to turn.
This happened in 2010 and the Means wants us to believe she was sent home in great pain after going to the ER in crisis during pregnancy at a Catholic hospital?
Bitch is lying.
I wonder if he gets a Christmas card from them. He's certainly been a good friend.
They're not suing because the baby died, but because the woman claimed that she would have had less pain if they had offered her an abortion.
No thank you. That would be just what they'd love to provoke, so Catholics can be labeled as a terror group.
Whose side are you on?
First do no harm. This oath alone should preclude 99% of abortions.
Actually, the Obama regime is arguing that the First Amendment is UnConstitutional and the ACLU is trying to argue the point from an angle that puts the fascist view in the news before the case is argued before the USSC on grounds the fascists know is far less likely to go their way.
It's a prelude to arguing regulatory rights for the sake of uniform treatment availability supersede individual rights should King Barry lose by arguing that BarryCare doesn't violate the First Amendment. I was expecting the ACLU to file a suit against a physician or group of physicians for not prescribing contraceptives or some kinds of contraceptives first but apparently the Barry crowd is more worried than I thought they were about how they'll fare in the USSC meaning they're actually worried industrial scale infanticide might be interrupted or greatly reduced.
I should have known that just like the Third Reich keeping the trains to the camps running while hard pressed combat troops were rationing artillery rounds due to a lack of rail transport, our own democrat fascists would put the highest priority on keeping the ghoulish abortuaries running even if that leads to rationing contraceptives available to hard pressed tramps.
Who pays the ACLU to do this? I can't believe they do it for nothing!
What gives with the ACLU? Catholic hate, is that it?
Expecting a Catholic hospital to perform abortions is like expecting a Cadilac dealer to have new Fords on the floor.
Why didn't she go to one of the Muslim, heathen or Quickie Lube (CA only) hospitals.
No ... just for Catholic doctrines.
One of my neighbors is a female Presbyterian minister. When her daughter graduated from Berkley last year, she helped her obtain a volunteer internship with the ACLU! My jaw dropped .. I was totally dumbfounded.
And the O admin is now fining hospitals that are non profits for giving health care to those without insurance
the world has gone mad
guess you have never heard of an ectopic pregnancy
And that about sums it up.
The Hyprocritical Oath (Oath of Hipprocrates) ALREADY prohibits abortions, and has, for more than 2,000 years!
She wanted an abortion at Mercy Health? I want a bacon cheeseburger from the Cedars-Sinai cafeteria. Good luck with that.

Hey Guys,
I am using the Avada theme with layerslider by Kreatura on the home page. As soon as I install the Simple Facebook Connect plugin the slider disappears. I have tried using some other publish to facebook type plugins which work fine (no issues with the slider) but they don't have the functionality of Simple Facebook Connect which I need (especially posting videos in blog posts to facebook).
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Can post any code needed to identify the problem.

Paralegal, Not "Two Legals"
There are a couple of different ways you can break into the biz. Option 1 is to go through a paralegal program in a community college and get an associate's degree. Option 2—if you've already got your bachelor's (let's say you finally realized the dancing thing isn't going to work out), you can earn your certificate in paralegal studies without having to attend too much more school. Option 3—find a college that straight-up offers a degree in paralegal studies. Option 4—find an employer who is willing to bring you up and train you from scratch. Option 5—steal the diploma for a paralegal job from someone's house, use white out, and then fill in your name (not recommended).

Technically it can be installed on 3.5.1 but I immediately ran into the problem where I couldn't change the background image of the landing page. I had to go into the template and add some code here in order to get a background image to work. The interface provides an area to change the background image... but it never worked for me.
Overall the plugin wasn't worth my time in the end.

I think it is safe to say that Baalke is choosing players directly in line with his confidence in the coaches Harbaugh brought in (and their own research).
All three of these guys have the physical make-up of "prototypical" size for their positions and all at positions we needed (OLB pass rusher, QB & CB/ST) and Baalke is leaving it up to Harbaugh to ensure he AND his staff develop these guys quickly.
Also, another thing to note is that all three players FIT into an offensive and defensive philosophy clearly now; no more round hole-square pegs. These coaches will be tasked to develop specialists now and THAT is a huge difference from the Nolan/Singletary regime.
Stay tuned...

WordPress version: 3.5
Superslider plugin: 3.0
Plugin version:
I did this: I installed the plugin and tested it --> only the logout button is working.
Then, I deactivated all plugins except the SuperSlider Login and activated the default theme --> Same problem
I expected the plugin to do this: To open the Dashboard when I click on the Dashboard button
Instead it did this: nothing
Can you please help me? I would love to use your plugin.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know, it was unfortunate. I think that the company would be more successful if they actually HELPED consumers .. that way it wouldn't be in this little rip-off report thing, either. But, yeah. For the record: they do call family, friends, relatives, anyone that can get ahold of you.. even neighbors. It's called skip-tracing. And there are no laws preventing them from doing so. That's why I do recommend, instead of avoiding them, that people actually do talk to them .. because there ARE good collectors in the office, maybe you'll luck out. It's better than being annoyed constantly by them, right?

I turned out to be wrong. Sadly, they are just money hungry. The attorneys were just as money hungry actually. They followed the rules. When it came to getting back on the phone the "leaders" would give you dirty tactics. Of course I would question it. I would tell my leader...hey we can't do this...oh no don't worry go ahead. I never violated a serious law though. If I did that would be my butt. In the end I was pretty much proven that I was right. They don't care about their employees. The hire felons and I have nothing against that. I just find it funny that a law office hires them though. Then they pay them an indecent rate. promise them a bonus that could eventually come in about 8 months. It equals out to making 12 an hour if bonus a grand a month. That is if you're lucky.
They rarely even train their collectors. I had a class of over 20 maybe 30. We were trained properly. As for others that came after me.mthere training was a manuel employee guideline handbook and a cubicle. How unfair was that? Isn't it their job to teach these poor innocent people the laws? So things like what I've been reading won't happen?
I will give you guys a tip though. If you'll pay your bills on time you won't have to deal with this. If they call you on the first thirty days tell them you don't want anymore calls. If they tell you that you need it in writing. Tell them you want to speak with one of their attorneys. DO NOT ASK TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. Speak to one of their dang "attorneys". Another thing...these people will keep your account for six months. The only way they can even file judgement against you...now don't take my word on this...is if your debt was truely and solely and belongs to collect america. Collect America is a debt company and does get rendered services by other clients. I do know that they have their own purchased and non-purchased debt. Both ususally stay six months. The purchased ususally if not paid gets judgement or garnishment and yes they do have a department that can do that.
Non-purchased could get judgement on it if they think they have leverage. Don't tell them about property. They say they need this information...bullcrap. It's bologne. Don't believe them. It was hard for me to be a collector there. Why? Because they are bullcrap. They talk to people as if they aren't human. In all honesty I hope they do get caught and go out of business. It would serve them right for be such big snobs there. Yeah seriously...you're only getting paid 8-10 dollars an hour...lame. Company is lame. Policies are lame. People are lame. Any other questions reguarding them?
In closing I am sorry to read all these horrible things about this company. I never harassed people. I actually got good feed back from people that I got to pay their bill. I wasn't as money hungry as the others. I understood. I listened to the consumers I spoke to. I'm sure all of these people were caught. This law firm knows they cannot do some of the things they do. If the collector isn't caught the first time they eventually do get caught and fired. So I'm sorry to hear all of awful stuff. It makes them look so horrible...even more horrible than they already are.

First of all, find your Stipulation and locate the fax number. ALWAYS fax your documentation to them. First it confirms they have received your communication and it also makes the Attorneys mad because they know they have to agree that the information was sent. Make sure you have a confirmation letter from the fax machine.
Send them a written notice BY FAX that you want all communcation by phone to stop. Do it early. This gets the bill collectors to stop calling you at home, at work, on your cell phone. Sample letters are available by Internet by usiing a search engine.
File a complaint with the Attorney Regulation Counsel in Denver Colorado located off of 18th and Broadway. You can find this office by using a Search Engine. File your concerns. This has been done a few times allready, which flags the Lowery Law Office as acting inappropriately. I delayed their tactics by over 3 months by involving the office.
Good luck! And I hope someone out there is able to beat this RIP OFF group. The lawyers badgered and were forceful under the law so I ended up paying them. But in any way that I can continue my push to work on making the office to work a little more "lawfully" I will do so.

Klitschko-Wach: Big Dimensions Will Fuel Marketing Push
By Mitch Abramson
Wladimir Klitschko may be fighting someone in Polish challenger Mariusz Wach whose mammoth chin would make Jay Leno envious. But K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler chose to focus on Wach's height (6-7) in discussing his match-up with Klitschko on Nov. 10 for Klitschko's WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight straps.
"It's the first time Wladimir has fought someone that tall," Loeffler said of Wach to BoxingScene.com. "It's a great marketing concept as far as people accepting the fact that he's just as tall as Wladimir. He's undefeated; he has a lot of heart and we definitely know Wach will come to fight, and he has the support of his boxing fans, particularly from Poland, and it will be an interesting fight."
Loeffler admitted it's getting increasingly difficult to find viable opponents for Wladimir and brother Vitali, the WBC champion, who've beaten most of the established names in the division. Vitali faces Manuel Charr on Sept. 8 in Moscow on HBO, the first time Vitali has done a promotion in that city. Loeffler is unsure what American broadcaster will show Wladimir's bout against Wach, mentioning Epix as a possibility.
"It's challenging," Loeffler said of finding opponents. "They've been champions for so long now; they've pretty much fought the biggest names out there. I mean, there are some younger guys coming up: you have Seth Mitchell, you have Deontay Wilder, Robert Helenius, who's currently injured, but you do have some guys coming up who they haven't fought. And we're looking forward to next year having one or two guys, kind of, emerge as being potential contenders."
Loeffler also mentioned the possibility of David Haye and the slimmed down Chris Arreola (in the U.S.) as possible opponents for the brothers next year.
Mitch Abramson covers boxing for the New York Daily News and BoxingScene.com.
This isn't competitive. Wach's too limited to trouble Wlad.Comment by Wesker115 on 08-30-2012
[QUOTE=Superflo777;12464465]His height is not gonna be an issue, as Wach doesn't really use it. But it makes for a good promotion for casual fans who think bigger is always better, and also for the critics who say Klitschko is size…Comment by Wesker115 on 08-30-2012
What is the tagline? Giants or something? Tbh Wach will probably be hard to put away, Wlad is actually quite underhand when fighting smaller fighters, he was pushing Mormecks head down so much that I began to question his sexuality...…Comment by Superflo777 on 08-30-2012
[QUOTE=edgarg;12464005]I can't see that the height is any sort of drawing card. Perhaps they are making a big thing of it because there are no other attractions for this fight. s for me, the guy is unbeaten, has fair speed…Comment by Cutthroat on 08-30-2012

Changes to the General Skilled Migration (GSM) Program
Source: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/whats-new.htm February 15, 2010
Details have been released of extensive changes to the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program.
These changes generally affect the following visa subclasses:
Onshore Visa Subclasses
- Skilled - Independent (subclass 885)
- Skilled - Sponsored (subclass 886)
- Skilled - Graduate (subclass 485)
- Skilled - Regional Sponsored (subclass 487)
- Skilled - Regional (subclass 887)
Offshore Visa Subclasses
- Skilled - Independent (subclass 175)
- Skilled - Sponsored (subclass 176)
- Skilled - Regional Sponsored (subclass 475)
- Skilled - Recognised Graduate (subclass 476)
An overview of the changes can be found here:
A summary of the changes include;
1 Revocation of the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL).
2 Abolition of the Critical Skills List (CSL).
3 The introduction of a new Skilled Occupations List (SOL) in mid 2010.
4 A quota being placed on pre-1 September 2007 offshore applications with applications not coming within the quota being "terminated' and the filing fee refunded.
5 Changes to priority processing.
6 A review of the Points Test
7 Allowing pre-1 January 2010 trades skills assessments to be used for General Skilled Migration applications so the holders of such assessments will not be required to undertake the Job Ready Program.
Transitional arrangements have been made which are outlined in material on the DIAC website.
Abolition of the Migration Occupations in Demand List
On 8 February 2010 the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans, announced the revocation of the MODL from 8th February 2010. This change applies to all GSM applicants except those who, at the date of announcement:
- hold a Skilled-Graduate (subclass 485) visa, or had a pending subclass 485 visa application and had not yet lodged an application for a provisional or permanent GSM visa and who make an application by 31 December 2012, or
- have a pending GSM visa application.
This means that points can no longer be claimed for MODL.
Applicants who lodged a GSM application before 8 February 2010 will not be affected by the revocation of the MODL.
Onshore overseas students
Overseas students who apply for a subclass 485 visa after the new SOL commences in mid-2010 and who were not holding a student visa subclass 572, 573 or 574 on 8 February 2010 then the application will be subject to the new SOL.
Overseas students who applied for a subclass 485 visa before 8 February 2010 may when granted, apply for a permanent General Skilled Migration visa and nominate an occupation which is on the SOL as at 8 February 2010 and thus will not be subject to the new SOL provided an application for a permanent GSM visa is made prior to 31 December 2012.
If, however, you apply for a permanent GSM visa after mid-2010 you will need to nominate an occupation that is included on the new Skills Occupation List (SOL).
You can nominate a different occupation in your permanent GSM application from your subclass 485 visa. You must also ensure that you meet all other requirements for the visa class for which you made an application. It is important to note that your qualifications obtained in Australia must be closely related to your new nominated occupation and you obtain a skills assessment in your new nominated occupation.
Pre-1 September 2007 offshore applications
Under section 39 of the Migration Act 1958 the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship has the power to set the maximum number of visas of a particular class that may be granted in a financial year. This is known as 'capping'. Once this number is reached, any application for that class of visa that has not been finalised is taken not to have been made. This is known as 'ceasing'. This means that the application and visa application charge are returned to the visa applicant.
Associated fees incurred for medical examinations, English language tests and police checks cannot be refunded as these payments were not made to the Australian Government.
Affected applicants can apply again for any of the current GSM visa subclasses. However, you will need to meet the current legislative requirements, which have changed significantly from those that existed prior to 1 September 2007.
Changes to the Skilled Occupation List
The government is replacing the current Skilled Occupation List (SOL) with a more targeted list of occupations to better meet the medium and long-term future skill needs of the Australian economy.
The new SOL will have a more targeted list of occupations designed to meet the medium to long-term needs of the Australian economy. Applicants for GSM visas that are not state/territory government nominated will have to nominate an occupation on the new SOL if they apply after mid-2010.
The new SOL will be announced by 30 April 2010 and will take effect in mid-2010.
It is being developed by Skills Australia who will identify skilled occupations of high value to the economy that align with its national workforce development strategy.
The new SOL will apply to all new GSM applicants from mid-2010, except those applicants who, at 8 February 2010:
- hold a Skilled-Graduate (subclass 485) visa, or had a pending subclass 485 visa application and had not yet lodged an application for a provisional or permanent GSM visa and who make an application by 31 December 2012, or
- had a pending GSM visa application.
State and territory governments will be able to nominate applicants if their nominated occupation is not on the new SOL.
Prospective applicants may also wish to consider eligibility for a permanent employer sponsored visa under the Employer Nomination Scheme, or the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme.
Revocation of the Critical Skills List
The Critical Skills List (CSL) will be revoked when the new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) comes into place in mid- 2010. The CSL was an interim administrative measure adopted while the Migration Occupation in Demand List (MODL) review was being undertaken, to ensure skilled migration outcomes were driven by the demands of the labour market.
Priority processing arrangements for applications for permanent skilled migration will continue until they are reviewed in mid-2010. More information on the new arrangements will be provided closer to this time
Change to priority processing
The current priority processing ministerial direction began on 8 February 2010.
The direction applies to applications in the pipeline that have not been finalised, and to applications lodged with the Department of Immigration and Border Patrol (DIBP) on or after 8 February 2010.
Under the ministerial direction, the following processing priorities (with highest priority listed first) apply:
1. Applications from people who are employer sponsored under the ENS and the RSMS.
2. Applications from people who are nominated by a state/territory government agency under a state migration plan agreed to by the minister.
3. Applications from people who are nominated by a state/territory government agency and whose nominated occupation is on the Critical Skills List (CSL).
4. Applications from people who are neither nominated nor sponsored in priority groups 1, 2 or 3, but whose nominated occupation is listed on the CSL.
5. Applications from people who are nominated by a state/territory government agency whose nominated occupation is not listed on the CSL.
6. (i) Applications from people whose occupations are listed on the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL).
(ii) Aplications from people who are sponsored by family and whose nominated occupation is not listed on the CSL.
7. All other applications are to be processed in the order in which they are received.
If you are not nominated by a state or territory government in accordance with an approved state migration plan, or your nominated occupation is not on the CSL and you have applied for an offshore GSM visa or intend to apply for an offshore GSM visa, it is unlikely that your application will be finalised within 3 years of the date of the application.
If you are not nominated by a state or territory government in accordance with an approved state migration plan or your nominated occupation is not on the CSL and you applied for an onshore GSM visa or intend to apply for an onshore GSM visa, it is unlikely that your visa will be finalised within 2 years of the date of the application.
Points test review
The GSM Points Test Review will be undertaken in the first half of 2010.
Changes to skills assessment rules regarding trades
In relation to amendments introduced by Trades Recognition Australia on 1st January 2010 to implement the Job Ready Program (JRP), these amendments require certain GSM applicants who nominate a trade occupation to provide a skills assessment dated on or after 1 January 2010 in order to make a valid application.
It is intended that in the future, applicants nominating a trade occupation for permanent migration will be able to provide an existing skills assessment when applying. This includes assessments predating 1 January 2010 and will mean that applicants will no longer be required to obtain a further skills assessment. It is intended that these arrangements commence in the first quarter of 2010.
Applicants who did not apply for a skills assessment prior to 1 January 2010 will continue to be required to satisfy the JRP as part of their skills assessment if nominating a trade occupation.
Applicants wanting to migrate to Australia under one of the below visa subclasses and in an allowable trade occupation are required to satisfy the JRP as part of the skills assessment process. This requirement applies to applications lodged from 1 January 2010. Currently, the skills assessment must be dated on or after 1 January 2010 in order to lodge a valid application.
Intended changes, once they commence, will allow applicants who hold a skills assessment dated before 1 January 2010 to use this assessment when applying for permanent migration.
The visa subclasses that are subject to the JRP are:
- Skilled-Independent (residence) visa (subclass 885)
- Skilled-Sponsored (residence) visa (subclass 886)
- Skilled-Regional sponsored (provisional) visa (subclass 487)

Hello, I'd like briefly introduce myself my giving a few of my positions on a couple topics.
Goverment: well beyond the confines of the Constitution, abusively intrusive, steeped in corruption, and generally statist in most enterprises.
Taxation: excessively burdensome in order to fund massive bureaucracy (including foreign regimes and the U.N.), punitive toward productivity, absurdly complex, and generally unjust.
Foreign Relations: we should withdraw from the U.N., end foreign aid, recognize China as a rival, oppose Islamic hegemony, and abandon absurd notions of democratizing the Middle East (America was founded as a republic).
Multiculturalism: a marxist program of disparaging Western Civilization, demographically committing national suicide, denying cultural truths, and promoting unfounded victimhood amkng minorities.
Islam: a backward ideology akin to national socialism, a clear and present danger to the world, founded on murder and conquest, and radical Islam is Islam.
These are but a few..feel free to inquire for more. Thank for the opportunity to join.
You'll do fine here. Welcome.
Welcome to FreeRepublic.
It would be better if you lay low, and read for a while. Still, welcome. If you are a conservative, I'm glad you are here.
So.....do you like Romney?
That pretty much sums it up. Welcome!
Welcome to Free Republic.
Welcome aboard.
Be careful of that screen name, though... freepers have a way of, um, shortening screen names sometimes.
Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri = pretentious
Fasten the seatbelt and anjoy the ride .................
your next post will be your most important one...
You sound fine for the primaries.
Please! Start off by explaining your screen name!
Do you have a blog?
I know enough latin to get advocate and grave or dead out of the name.
I dunno, my first choice was Lord Imperial Shaka Zulu of the Greater Reaches of the Universe.... alas it was already taken.
And welcome
Did you love Ronald Reagan?
I think Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri loosely translates to Defender of the holy grave.
Defender of the Holy Sepulchre, a name given to Godfrey of Bouillon, leader of the First Crusade.
Yeah, maybe a bit pretentious.
Whatever nOOb.
Your positions are stoopid and your input wasn't asked for. /S
Welcome to Free Republic.
Post on.
What are you implying? We might make and A.S.S. of him?
Shame, shame, shame.
Also the FR name of a complete newbie who thought it was quite important for us all to know his "Deep Thoughts"....yeah, just a bit pretentious.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Welcome aboard. May your stay be pleasant and informative.
Thank you. I should have made mention of the most important issue: defeating Barack Hussein Obama.
Honestly, no. I agree with Mark Levin on the issue.
$5 per gal. gas
Free contraception
Welcome Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri!
Don't worry kid if they tease you a little. Think of it as a form of-—well think of it as teasing you.
Of course, Ronald Reagan was the greatest Presidemt of the 20th century and defeated the Soviet Union, which was an incredible feat. He is a hero through and through.
Welcome to Free Republic.
No one knows this but you. y6162 is the key to unlock the code to eternal life. Feel free to use it if you get the chance.
Damnation, I'm late and I 'pologize, but I never wrote my own "New to the Forum" thread. Is it too late?
I'm sure, Shirley, everybody in the universe is holding his breath waiting for my opinion of Monica Lewinsky!
I'm cool with your handle but it makes the Muslim part a bit redundant. I'd also take issue with your Middle East policy if you want to isolate rather than engage. The isolation route gave us the Taliban, Al Qaeda and 9/11.
Quomodo cogis comas tuas sic videri?
You know that IS rather a mouthful
(you should of mention) ... free contraception!
Call me old fashioned, but I'm holding out for what's behind door number three. I think it's a Plymouth Duster...
Nice to see some common sense coming in the door. Welcome.
why should he? why can't he post right off the bat? i need to see the FR rules as I'm certain I missed this one.
What do you think of
and Darwin?
Welcome; I just arrived here too, yesterday.
It's call Hazing
I've always loved you.
Welcome to Free Republic. You'll be fine; wish I could offer you a cold beer. How about a virtual one....? Cheers...
I love you too. Can we snuggle?
Uh Yeah.
I was trying not to say that. LOL

Reade, who finished sixth last summer, got her World Cup campaign off to a perfect start by winning the time trial on Friday with Liam Phillips following suit for the first British double.
And Reade and Phillips were not to be denied in the main event a day later as they completed a British double-double in the first round of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup of the season.
Reade took victory ahead of Brooke Crain of the USA and Dutch cyclist Merle van Benthem and insists the start she couldn't produce at the Olympics last summer she did back on home soil in Manchester.
"At the Olympics I wasn't able to put the start together that I wanted in the final but here, putting it all together in a solid lap, I was happy with that," said Reade.
"I believed my start was good enough to win, in training we can look at the times every day, but in the final, when there was the crowd and eight other girls, using that mental strength and putting it all together, that's the biggest thing I'm happy about.
"Even in the time trial, I didn't think about the win. I just thought about completing each part of the track as close to ten-out-of-ten as possible, then I believed the result would take care of itself.
"Even on the start gate I only worried about myself, because if I can do the best I can do, I think that was going to win the race."
Meanwhile Phillips, who finished eighth at London 2012, admitted another victory in front of a home crowd in Manchester was a moment to savour.
"I have family down here, it's as much a win for them as it is for me really," he said. "I wanted to get the job done for myself but it's nice to share that moment with everyone else.
"For me it was just a case of doing another lap, as good as I could. I knew from my time trial, if I'm out front it's going to be difficult to pass me. I think the inside was key to this weekend."

"Appalachian Mountains/Blue Ridge Parkway" Top 5 Page for this destination Blowing Rock by NC_Ziggy
Blowing Rock Travel Guide: 37 reviews and 140 photos
In all truthfulness, I set out to create a few pages about the Blue Ridge Parkway stretching over 300 miles through Virginia and North Carolina but alas there was no Blue Ridge Parkway location... tsk, tsk, hint, hint! The Blue Ridge Parkway traverses through the Blue Ridge Mountains (Duh!) which form a part of the Appalachian Mountains. This larger range begins in Georgia and extends to New York... hence the better known Appalachian Trail. This is just one small part. I hope you will see something of interest.
It's hard to drive and enjoy the beauty in safety! Luckily, there are many places for formal parking and viewing. Better still, it is common to be able to simply pull off the highway and walk a short way for that beautiful photo op that you just have to have!
Being a half-a$$ed farmer, it intrigues me how trees can grow in what is obviously centuries old rock formations... But I guess they can and it makes for a nice photo, huh? Come along on my Saturday afternoon trip and I'll show you more!

Ok. I have been using wordpress.com and just registered my domain through wordpress.com. I want to use wordpress.org for the plugins and stuff. I installed wordpress.org but I don't know how to use my registered domain through wordpress.org now.
My site says localhost or whatever and I don't know how to change that to the domain I want.
I am so confused and don't know what the heck I'm doing. I thought it would be simple. Maybe it is and I'm just missing something. I've been googling for what seems like forever.

The 80s come back to play with these glitter bangles. The cheery sorbet tones are spot-on trendy and the inlaid tonal glitter brightens up any casual outfit. Available in pink, blue and green. Acrylic.
More Information:
|Wash care:
|Wipe Clean
|Catalog No.:
Ever thought about having the perfect accessory to brighten up your outfit without over-doing it? Well this is it! Bought this as a gift for a friend and was devilishly thinking about keeping it for myself. I love the color and smoothness of the whole thing. Thank you Petit et Belle and Yesstyle!
Really cute bangle, and it fit well. The plastic is really light, so it was very comfortable. The color is exactly like the picture.
Unfortunately, the first bangle that I received had black spots over it that could not be wiped off. But the reason why I gave this product such a high rating is because once I e-mailed the company about this defected item, they not only let me keep the old one, but they sent me a new one free of charge. They also took care of the shipping & handling. The new bangle that I received was perfect. It's a really cute accessory that really brightens up your outfit!
Petit et Belle offers a wide range of jewelry and accessories for the young professional who loves color and texture. Boasting contemporary designs with a nod to retro trends, Petit et Belle's items feature an unmistakable European sensibility and an affordable price tag that has young and professional women covered when it comes to the perfect finishing touch.

Native Americans are the most underrepresented racial/ethnic group among physicians and scientists. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number one cause of death among Native Americans is cancer. This is in contrast to the majority population for which heart disease is the number one killer. Arizona has 21 federally recognized tribes and Native Americans back up 5% of the population. Thus the state's universities are ideally positioned to train a greater number of Native Americans for biomedical careers. It is anticipated that this can be an effective approach to addressing cancer health disparities in Native American communities.
Training Activities
NACP training activities include: 1) summer programs to transition students from high schools or community colleges to the university; 2) mentored projects with investigators conducting cancer-related research; 3) summer internships at other institutions; 4) development of an individualized career plan; 5) attendance at national meetings focused on health research in Native American communities; 6) mentoring sessions with Native American researchers as role models; and 7) a graduate programs primer that provides guidance on applying for post-baccalaureate degree programs.
Specific Aims
- Mentor Native American students to succeed in their undergraduate studies and expose them to hands-on research and Native American role models.
- Provide activities to successfully transition Native American undergraduate students into advanced degree programs which will train them to address cancer health disparities in their communities.
- Mentor NACP junior faculty and provide cultural competency training in partnership with the Outreach Core for all NACP faculty and staff.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
What's the matter with me,
I don't have much to say,
Daylight sneakin' through the window
And I'm still in this all-night cafe.
Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks are rollin' slow,
To sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow.
It's been about a half a year since I last did this bit, so to recap – this is for me to just ramble about various stuff that are not worth a full entry to themselves.
There will probably be discussion of spoilers within! Beware!!! And Enjoy!
* For all the problems Ultimates Vol. 3 #1 had, one thing that should not be blamed is the coloring. It looked as bad as it did not because of the coloring, but because of a printing error.
So everyone, apologize to Christian Lichtner!
* I tried doing a Musical Reviews for this past week, but the books just did not lend themselves to the musical I picked. Hopefully next week!!
* Boy, the whole "will Robin agree to join Ra's Al Ghul?" plot is awfully silly, isn't it? Talk about some leaps in logic.
* You know, it's bad enough to have seemingly all of DC's superhero books tying into Countdown, but what's even worse is when they don't even do them on time.
To wit, McDuffie's first JLA arc just ended – and it was a lead-in to…a comic that came out weeks ago.
The Superman/Batman before the most recent one was a lead-in to the deaths of the New Gods, which has been going on for HOW many months?
And the MOST recent Superman/Batman story was designed to tell us how Dr. Light got to join the Injustice League a few months back?
Why?!?! WHY?!?!?
* The Sinestro Corps War sure got dull, didn't it? I think I jinxed it by pointing out how much stronger it was turning out than World War Hulk.
* Not that World War Hulk ended well, either. Boy howdy, did it not end well.
* Betty #170 was a complete and utter total LETDOWN. The cover seemed so promising – and so was the story idea – Betty determines she will no longer be Archie's second choice for dates. Great concept.
But then she finds out that for their latest date, she was his first choice.
Problem solved!!
How ridiculous is that? It was clever for Betty to acknowledge that Archie treats her poorly quite often in relation to Veronica, mostly because he knows Betty is more understanding – and then writer Barbara Slate just has Betty drop it because this time Archie just so happened to have picked Betty first?
So silly.
* Last month's Supergirl ended with one of the most confusing pieces of art – artist Drew Johnson drew this reflection of Supergirl's face that did not really match what was going on IN the scene – it was like in Heroes when the lady with the mirror self talks to herself – only it was meant to just be a normal reflection!!
* This week's Supergirl, though, was a big improvement. I know Puckett did not come up with the whole "Supergirl was meant to be OLDER than Superman when she got here" thing (at least I am pretty sure that's been around for awhile), but boy, is it a great twist on her origin. And anything that gets away from the silliness of her previous origins – with the crystals popping out of her or whatever the heck was going on when the book was awful.
* In Dynamo 5, how silly was the shapeshifter guy making out with some girl while he was impersonating his hurt teammate? I mean, dude, have a LITTLE impulse control! You can hit on the girl LATER – not when you're impersonating another guy. Also, what the heck is this girl making out with some guy in the high school hallway, like, three minutes after meeting him? Jay Faerber rules, and Dynamo 5 is a good book – but that really didn't work for me.
* Suburban Glamour has basically the same plot as Mike Carey's God Save the Queen. I get that it is not intentional, but boy, that is weird. I guess "Changeling from the land of Fairies is raised as a human, but then gets caught up in a war in the land of the Fairies" is not THAT original of a concept, no?
* The Luna Brothers kill off way too many people in their comic. I think they would be way better off if they did not kill so many people.
They draw really well, though! And Sword is SOOOOOO much better than Girls, it is nuts. I knew they could not be as bad as they seemed in Girls, especially as Ultra was so good. So Sword is still a good read – but boy, is it violent.
* Oh, did I forget to mention how fun Proof has been from Image?
It has been fun.
* Moondragon as an actual dragon…well, it is AN idea.
* The Order continues to be one of the best superhero comics out there.
* How the hell did Larry Stroman get BETTER as an artist since 1992??!!? Maybe he just had a lot of time to draw What If…? Rise & Fall of the Shi'ar Empire?
* Fernando Ruiz had a fun, informative story in Jughead and Friends Digest #25. I love when comics give history lessons. This time, it was explaining where Jughead's famous hat comes from.
* Larry Hama is actually doing a nice job on GI Joe: Stormshadow, which is surprising, as I have NO interest in a Stormshadow ongoing series.
That's all for now!
I trust there's a Sweeney Todd-themed Musical Review coming up, Brian?
(I'd offer to do it, but I don't read nearly enough comics in a given week)
The colouring on Ultimates #1 was the one part I liked. It was subdued and moody. It's kind of telling that that was by accident.
Complain, much?
How about late books?
Blame the writers? or the artists?
* Re: Resurrection of Ra's, Sinestro Corps War & World War Hulk – the track record for finishing these things off is not so good. I thought all three started strong (or in the case of the Batman "event" with some interesting set-ups, at least), but then – damn. To be fair, Aftersmash helped to redeem WWH in my eyes, but only piqued my interest in the supporting cast's continuing adventures. At present, I have no interest in what's going to go on with Bruce/Hulk nor in spending money on a Loeb-penned book to find out.
* The Dynamo 5 thing feels pretty nit-picky. One of Faerber's things is soap opera, dude! This stuff is going to happen. I'm willing to overlook it in this and Noble Causes based on overall quality.
* Suburban Glamour's plot is older than just Carey & Bolton, right? I wasn't an English lit major, but I think this story has been around forever. Hell, with a few tweaks it's the whole Joseph Campbell/George Lucas shooting match. McKelvie's strong characterizations and gorgeous art make this a good comic for mine.
* The Order rocks. Best Marvel universe comic not named Immortal Iron Fist. Fraction rocks.
* Well, if the latest issue of Conquest is any indication, Heather won't have been an actual dragon for long…
Brian, why don't you do more of these posts as part of the "Cheers and Jeers" series? I used to like those a lot, but I haven't seen one since the end of summer…
So, where DOES Jughead's hat come from? (And when, oh when, will they release an Archie hardcover archives?)
I'm still an overall fan of the Sinestro Corps War. A couple chapters were filler — mostly notably, the GLC issue before the last one, which merely showed snippets of fights, vamping for time until the new Ion arrived to take on Superman Prime. Boy, that was a stinker of an issue. (And we got shortchanged on the only fight I really cared about: Kilowog versus Whatzizname. Arkillo? Ahh, I haven't had my coffee yet and I'm too lazy to look it up.) But most of the chapters have been good, and one or two have been great, and I actually have to say I was surprised at the outcome of the Ion vs. Prime fight. Another thing I've appreciated is that the Guardians' decision to permit the Corps to kill has not been roundly greeted with unanimous enthusiasm.
Anyway, if we hadn't had to wait so long for the final chapter — that's due out today, right? — it probably wouldn't have lost its momentum. Although I'm skeptical that Johns can pull off a purpose for the resurrection of the Anti-Monitor, and dispose of him in a realistic way, or at least force him into temporary retreat for the time being.
As badly as world war Hulk ended, and it's not as if I'll be picking up the follow ups either, I must admit that "Aftersmash" is a great word.
I find it kind of funny that people couldn't tell that the Ultimates issue had a printing error, as some of the previews had colouring that looked nothing like that issue. Obviously something was lost in translation, but I thought that both of them looked all right, at least in comparison to the crappy art and writing.
"I trust there's a Sweeney Todd-themed Musical Review coming up, Brian?
(I'd offer to do it, but I don't read nearly enough comics in a given week)"
I gave him a copy ('05 rival cast) to listen to, but he hasn't really delved into it yet. I think he's waiting to see the movie first, but maybe I can get him to watch the original B'way production video before that.
For what it's worth – s1rude, yep. SG is fairly deliberately an old fairy tale device with a modern retelling, as a means of exploring the themes I wanted to deal with. Hopefully I'm putting enough of my own spin on it to make it worthwhile!
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I read that Storm Shadow got cancelled at issue #6. Not due to low sales, but at the request of Hasbro…
I trust there's a Sweeney Todd-themed Musical Review coming up, Brian?
That IS a really hard one to match up with comic book releases.
Hey Jamie – thanks for your comment, and just wanted say that my comment was not meant as a knock on the work at all. Sorry if it read that way. I was just responding to Cronin that it's not "weird", but a common thing when telling stories of any sort. For SG, you've developed the characters (especially Astrid & Dave) so well that whatever the plot holds I'm positive it will be real & unique for them. Which is really 99% of what I'm looking for in a work of fiction. You've got my money for this and whatever you do next!
— Sean
The colouring on Ultimates #1 was the one part I liked. It was subdued and moody. It's kind of telling that that was by accident.
I dunno, looked muddy to me.
Complain, much?
I just went back and looked at the piece, and of the bits that were complain and/or praise, there were seven praise bits and nine complaint bits.
That's a good percentage, isn't it?
* The Dynamo 5 thing feels pretty nit-picky. One of Faerber's things is soap opera, dude! This stuff is going to happen. I'm willing to overlook it in this and Noble Causes based on overall quality.
It's not a huge deal, but it's clearly a fairly important plot point, as seen by the ending.
And as far as soap opera stuff go, wouldn't it be just as soap opera-like if he fell for the girl while stuck impersonating his teammate, so he goes BACK to the school (while as his teammate) to see her again – and THEN they get involved?
And THEN we get the drama of this issue?
The way it actually unfolded seemed way too rushed.
* Suburban Glamour's plot is older than just Carey & Bolton, right? I wasn't an English lit major, but I think this story has been around forever. Hell, with a few tweaks it's the whole Joseph Campbell/George Lucas shooting match. McKelvie's strong characterizations and gorgeous art make this a good comic for mine.
It's not a knock on the comic itself. Just noting that it is weird that two comics came out the same year that featured a "normal British girl who is actually a fairy changeling and is instrumental to an ongoing fairy war."
The book is still good.
* Well, if the latest issue of Conquest is any indication, Heather won't have been an actual dragon for long…
Yeah, that might have been actually odder than just making her a dragon!!! To make her a dragon, then kill her off a couple of issues later?!?
Brian, why don't you do more of these posts as part of the "Cheers and Jeers†series? I used to like those a lot, but I haven't seen one since the end of summer…
My problem with Cheers and Jeers is that it is a stricter format – I need 15 or so things to compliment and 15 or so things to complain about – it is a good bit when I get the time to do it, but this free-form thing is a lot easier (and, amusingly enough, it ended up with about equal Cheers and Jeers! :)).
So, where DOES Jughead's hat come from? (And when, oh when, will they release an Archie hardcover archives?)
Since the sole purpose of the comic is that fact, I feel bad giving it away.
Anyway, if we hadn't had to wait so long for the final chapter — that's due out today, right? — it probably wouldn't have lost its momentum.
That brings up an interesting point – what's the last notable comic "event" that actually finished on time?
Not this.
Not World War Hulk.
Not Civil War.
Not House of M.
Not Infinite Crisis.
Not Identity Crisis (or did it?).
What other notable "events" have their been in the last couple of years?
Anyway, if we hadn't had to wait so long for the final chapter — that's due out today, right? — it probably wouldn't have lost its momentum.
That's too bad.
Looking back at ICV2's top 300 lists, Identity Crisis did finish on time–#6 came out in November 2004, and #7 in December. So I guess the answer to that question would have to be "Identity Crisis" (notably, not a series with a lot of tie-ins).
Sean – Don't worry, didn't take it as a knock! Glad you're enjoying it.
As for late "events" in recent times, here's hoping that Marvel's "Messiah Complex" continues to ship on time during its weekly schedule. They came SO close to keeping the 18 part "Endangered Species" on time until the last chapter.
Nice piece, but could we perhaps get a moratorium on the word "silly?"
I think Brain uses "silly" as a way to avoid terms like "stupid" and "absolutely fucking braindead".
"That IS a really hard one to match up with comic book releases."
Would it help if Christopher Priest had a book out that week? A book that was worth trying?
I bet he loves it when we call him Brain.
Looking back at ICV2's top 300 lists, Identity Crisis did finish on time–#6 came out in November 2004, and #7 in December. So I guess the answer to that question would have to be "Identity Crisis†(notably, not a series with a lot of tie-ins).
Did you check each month?
I think Brain uses "silly†as a way to avoid terms like "stupid†and "absolutely fucking braindeadâ€.
I am sometimes amazed, though, at how people get seemingly REALLY mad about me for using words like that (not you, Will, your problem was reasonable enough – I did use "silly" three times, which is probably at least one time too many).
Actually, I think it was four, but who's counting? And like I said, I really enjoyed the piece. I don't read a lot of superhero stuff, so I always enjoy li'l rapid fire impressions of those books. Makes me feel like I'm less out of the loop, I suppose. My comic shop didn't get Suburban Glamour, unfortunately, so I'll have to wait a week or two to get caught up. Blah.
Oh, HA! I just checked for "silly," not for "silliness."
Glad you liked the piece.
I agree that the recent parts of the Sinestro Corps War had been pretty disappointing, but the last part… my god. Best ending to a crossover event in years.
And as far as soap opera stuff go, wouldn't it be just as soap opera-like if he fell for the girl while stuck impersonating his teammate, so he goes BACK to the school (while as his teammate) to see her again – and THEN they get involved?
And THEN we get the drama of this issue?
The way it actually unfolded seemed way too rushed.
You're absolutely right – this would have made a little more sense, worked just as well and provided even more dramatic potential (love triangle?). Good call.
"How about late books?
Blame the writers? or the artists? "
Neither. Blame the editors.
The Great and Wonderful Cronin said:
"I just went back and looked at the piece, and of the bits that were complain and/or praise, there were seven praise bits and nine complaint bits.
That's a good percentage, isn't it?"
Not as high as the Best Shots Group, but certainly much better than the Savage Critics group. Those guys hate everything.
But what if everything stinks?
And I wasn't, like, trying to be equal – that's what Cheers and Jeers is for. This was just stream of consciousness, and I'll admit that more often than not, things that irk me are usually more memorable than things that I dug.
I had 15 years to draw it to be exact. Wait until you see the black panther. I've been waiting my whole like for that. be prepared…
Well, it was damned impressive, Larry. And it's not like I didn't like your work BEFORE, but I opened it up and it was just, "What the hell?! How the hell did Larry Stroman get this much better!?!?"
thanks for the comment, brian
sometimes, its the same old cooking. but you let it sit awhile and it gets better seasoning. maybe i just needed a vacation.

Very satisfied with the product and the service of Auto Accessories with this order.
Fit perfectly in a 2015 MDX. The ebony color matches very well with the dark, dark gray carpeting and trim. (We have the ivory/parchment/tan leather, but all the carpeting is black/gray).

A helpful and courteous employee @ autoaccessoriesgarage.com helped me pick the Lloyd Mat Luxe for my wife's "new" 2008 Outback. It came last week & is PERFECT in color, thickness, texture, binding, and fit. Worth every penny.

Post subject: Your Best Options (Recommendation from a mum)
I would recommend ring slings, they are better and can be changed to many forms, the cheapest yet durable available in the market are the ones from Mamaway.com and Mothercare. You can also check Maya Wraps and Dolcino but they are really pricey.

Post subject: Hi
Baby slings which are made of soft fabric can be a safe way to carry a baby. Although slings are easier way to carry a baby, but slings can pose two different hazards to a baby:
1.Because an infant has weak neck muscles and can't control her head, the sling's fabric can press against her nose and mouth, suffocating her in a minute or two.
2.Additionally. the sling keeps the infant in a curled position with her chin bent toward her chest, which can restrict her airways, limit oxygen supply, and suffocate her slowly.
Here are some safety tips :
1.Make sure your baby's face isn't covered by the fabric -- you should be able to see her at all times.
2.If you're nursing your baby in a sling, change his position after feeding so his head is facing up and clear of both the sling and your body.
3.Frequently check to make sure your baby is okay.

Woe is me! I created a lovely site and then blew it all moving to a new server. I did an FTP back up of all files and dumped the database using phpmyadmin on my desktop. Can I get it back on the new server? No
I am stuck getting the database back up and running. I am using godaddy and created a new datase using the hosting tools. I am then going back into phpmyadmin and using import. The problem is, I think, that I dumped both the "information schema" and the database into .sql file so I when I import I get the error message
SQL query:
-- Database:
information_schema DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
MySQL said:
#1044 - Access denied for user 'red1228904594900'@'%' to database 'information_schema'
I think I need to go back to first principles with mysql - HELP!
