The ocean and all its' beauty are here, yet it is close to Orlando and its famous theme parks., Disneyland, Epcot, Wet and Wild, Swim with the Dolphins, at Discovery Cove, Sea World, just to name a few. Take a 3 day or more cruise. The port is just so very close. and get on a cruise ship and go to a far away land. Why not get on that Casino ship one evening and just go out for a few hours and enjoy the deep sea.Take the children to the must see Dinosaur Museum and store, just around the corner. This town is the home of Ron Jon, so make sure you walk a few steps down the street to visit this unique attraction. Rent surf boards, kite board, bike, go fishing, take a deep sea fishing boat and catch 'that big one. Fly a kite, or learn to parasail, it's all right here.
Outlet shopping, great eateries, nightlife, are also close by
Take that short cruise while you are here. The port and a short sea trip to the Caribbean are almost at your finger tips! Make that reservation at this your beach front home now as bookings fill quickly during the year.

We are Original Owners of Our Condo. We fell in love with this gorgeous direct ocean front condo on the 6th floor with the most panoramic views from just about every room. The plan was ideal for us and our growing family to vacation on all school holidays, to enjoy it and yet have privacy to work and play. The condo was bright, airy, open and gorgeous with room for a growing family. Tennis Courts, Pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, heated pool, shuffle board, the beach, were all in our complex and just below our beach home. We still vacation here while continuously decorating and updating our condo and renting it, to the nicest folks, for many years.

Date of Stay: November, 2008
Great location, Close to highway, well maintained, only issue is it is located on the air-port flight path.
Date of Stay: November, 2008
Nice park, well kept up, however, pets really are not welcome. We spoke with the owner before arriving and told her up front that we had dogs, after checking in we were told that the dogs were not allowed on the grass and the only place they could go was basically a mud pit after all of the rain. I would not go back.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
One of the nicer parks we have been to. Great people, Clean, Pet friendly.

my innner JDM <3's Halo's....at least they're not blue. I like white HID's might eventually get some.
Where'd you get them? I want some for my 09other but I have 8000kto hid and I want them to match too
I believe those are the Spec-D Tuning Halo headlights. SPEC-D Tuning - Wholesales for automotive car parts accessories
They make them up until the 2007 style headlights. I'm waiting for them to release the 2008+ version. Those look sexy on your WRX by the way.
Not bad. I still believe Halos belong on BMWs.
I think it'd look better and less ricey without the three LEDs as well. But that's IMO.

I also was worried about the ricer look ha. But when the hid lights are on you can't even see the three led lights, just the halos.

Never argue with idiots. They'll drag you to their level and beat you with experience.
i like the halo, don't care so much for the led...just a littloe too much. but hopefully they come out with the 08+ sooner or later, i want halos without having to peel apart my assembly
Love halos. I'm picking up some black ones for my bugeye. Was install easy?

Bonnie Says: Kate Gosselin — Your New Wardrobe Looks Tarty! Isn't This Too Racy For A Mom?
Here's the question – when we give birth or adopt, do we also take on an obligation to dress with more decorum than before we had little ones who should be looking up to us as role models?
And does that mean we ditch the minis, short shorts, halter-tops and heels? Are plunging necklines still OK, but only for a night out on the town?
These are questions I can't help ponder when I look at Kate Gosselin's latest get-ups. It's not that the individual fashion items are objectionable on their own, but it's the combination – high heels plus loads of leg, lots of bare skin on top and then long, bleached blonde hair. It all adds up to a look that just doesn't reassuringly say "mom," especially for a woman who sets herself up as a role model for other moms.
She's not just the star of Kate Plus 8, she's also the author of advice-giving books, Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets, Eight Little Faces: A Mom's Journey and I Just Want You To Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith and Family.
Furthermore her new TLC show, A Twist of Kate, has Kate traveling the country giving help and mommy advice to families.
So one of the country's most infamous moms has decided it's OK to be a role model and go shopping with her kids for back-to-school clothes, in short, tight, skin-baring looks.
But maybe I'm being a big prude.
"She's sending a message out loud and clear that she's available," points out Suze Yalof Schwartz, fashion and beauty expert and Today Show regular. "Do I think it's chic? Absolutely not. But do I think it's appealing to many men? YES! She's not dressing for her kids. She knows she's being photographed and this is better than Match.com. It's the ultimate profile."
Yalof doesn't think Kate is actually being overtly sexual, but she is trying to be fashionable and just isn't quite getting it right.
"She's wearing all the big trends – animal prints, satin and leather low cut boots/shoes, but it's just too much," Yalof says. "Tight, tight shorts and high heels – just doesn't do it."
On the other hand, Yalof applauds Kate as a mom of eight for not just wearing scrubs all day.
"It's amazing, she's putting in the effort – it's better than wearing elasticized pants, baggy t-shirts and flip flops."
OK, those are all good points. However Joanna Douglas, fashion and beauty editor of Shine.com disagrees to a degree.
"It would be fine for her to dress like this if she was going out at night with friends," Douglas says. "She's 35, she's got a great body and is in good shape but no kids want to get an eyeload of their moms cleavage. … Going out with her kids in the middle of the day like this, just makes her seem attention-hungry."
Or is she just not being practical? That's the concern of Susan Crenek GLAMOUR.com's executive online editor for fashion and beauty. "It's very difficult to run after and take care of a kid (much less eight) when you're worried about necklines dipping into scandalous territory," she says.
So what do you think – am I being too harsh to expect Kate to dress in a way that won't provoke the eww factor from her kids? She has said she's lonely, and what single mom with the burden of raising eight kids wouldn't be? She has a right to long for a love partner again. Hey, she's 35! But are tight, short clothes the right way to telegraph it? Or is Kate right to throw her hands up at me and any other critics and just dress the way she wants – mommy-appropriate or not?
Let me know what you think!

I got a sample of this face cream in my Welcome Birchbox. I love that it does double time work- it's a moisturizer and a line minimizer. It looks a little thick coming out of the tube but was easy to apply and I had no trouble applying makeup shortly after. No shine or stickiness. A little goes a long way and the fragrance is nice, but subtle. Had never heard of this brand, but was pleasantly surprised and will probably go back for more!5

"Most players, they're afraid of coming off the field – they don't want coach to get mad at them, or they don't want to lose their spot," said Ashton Adams, a senior defensive lineman at Jacob Hespeler Secondary School in Cambridge, Ont.
"To be honest, I'd probably stay on. Just because I like to tough it out."
Giving players the information and providing the right culture for teens to speak up is key to many new initiatives spotted across the nation.
Many provincial athletic associations are now making concussion-awareness training mandatory for coaches and mandating a doctor's note before an athlete can return to play. Some boards have concussion committees, and some are mandating daily football practice plans so they can monitor the drills. Mr. Rocca said his school has been talking to a local hockey league to learn about its experience with baseline testing, and some Toronto high-school coaches arranged a presentation from noted concussion researcher Charles Tator.
The Canadian Football League is stepping up, too. It started a nationwide awareness program involving all levels of football in Canada, sending out posters and flyers to Canada's teams that include concussion symptoms and a list of what to do if they arose. They will also partner with CMRG's concussion-management program on a session for athletic trainers.
Edmonton Eskimos offensive lineman Patrick Kabongo played host to a concussion workshop for minor football association, the Edmonton Chargers. The Toronto Argonauts are subsidizing helmet certifications and athletic therapists for teams in the Toronto District School Board.
Matt Vettoretti says the blitz of recent awareness is changing the way his teammates feel about concussions.
"I never thought about concussions when I first started playing," he said. "But now I'm an 18-year-old kid, and who knows where football is going for me. It's frustrating to be told to sit out, but think about the rest of your life."Report Typo/Error

Re: Why I won't be playing GOW 3
..........wow, this guy can't even take a joke and the meaning of the ad. The ad means that GOW3 is so awesome that you wouldn't care anything about anything else at all...................it's true.
and shut the "sexist" BS. What's sexist about that ad? It didn't say women can't play or finish GOW3. The guy just ignored the woman bec. of GOW3s awesomeness. Women would also ignore their guys if they played this game. trust me.
Re: Why I won't be playing GOW 3
Re: Why I won't be playing GOW 3
Your sensitivity astounds me.Not only did you make such a BIG deal out of a genuinely funny and harmless commercial,you call us flamers and assume that we will make fun of you before anyone even makes any comment.Nobody is flaming u and the commercial is just meant to show how awesome GOWIII is.The person playing GOWIII in it could be replaced with a girl and the person complaining could be her bf,but that would make the commercial less effective coz the majority of the audience for GOWIII are apparently boys.

I left for Tanzania expecting to get to spend an amazing vacation on safari, but what I didn't know was that I would come home with a completely new perspective. Tanzania opened my eyes and changed me in so many ways. The experience was unreal. I have never been exposed to so much natural beauty and culture as I did in the 2 weeks I spent with African Dream Safaris.
First off, our entire vacation was perfectly planned and stress free. Sharon, from the moment I stepped off the plane until our guides said goodbye to us at the airport on our last day, we didn't have to worry about anything. Everyone we met on our trip was far beyond hospitable and happy to take care of us and answer all of our questions (I had a lot!). Our guide was the most wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly man and he became part of our "family".
Every place we stayed at was more beautiful and breath-taking than the one before. We traveled during the slower season, so each place we stayed at was peaceful. From tents on the ridge of the Ngorogoro crater, beautiful white houses overlooking a coffee plantation, luxurious tents on top of a kopi, to a 5-star hotel overlooking a watering hole… I could watch animals drink from a watering hole outside of my bathroom window while I took a bath or wake up in the morning to elephants rustling around outside my tent.
I could never have dreamed of how many animals we saw on our safari. To put it into perspective, in the first 20 minutes of our first drive, I asked our guide to stop so I could look at herd of gazelles out on the horizon. Later that day we got to experience the 2 cheetahs stalk and kill a baby warthog. Witnessing nature in action like that is something I will never forget. By the end of our safari seeing a family of giraffes up next to our car was normal.
We saw every animal you could possibly imagine and then some. My personal favorites were the zebras. We saw thousands and thousands everywhere we went but they never stopped being fascinating and beautiful to me. One of our last drives we stumbled upon over 200 elephants, surrounding and walking around our truck. You could see them for miles! We also got to see black rhino in the Ngorogoro crater, which was a real treat.
Every day was another incredible adventure… One day we got to go on a peaceful hot air balloon safari and watch the sunrise. When we landed, we had a delicious and beautiful breakfast prepared for under a tree overlooking the mountains and herds of water buffalo. One day we spent time in a Masai village talking to and learning about their culture. I even got to learn how to do traditional Masai dances.
Overall, I will look back on this trip as an experience that has completely changed my worldview. It was the most surreal, beautiful, humbling, educational, and incredible 2 weeks of my life. I have no doubt in my mind that I will come back to Tanzania someday.
Aside from this, I can't thank you enough for planning the this trip for us. Everything about it was perfect. I talk for hours on end when people ask me about my experience. I still can't believe all the things I experienced and saw and did. I am only 19 years old, so it is kind of a problem because I have such a yearning to travel and experience other cultures and countries now.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you a million times.

no i dont think so...
but thanks for helping out i wanted to see the full image of that book fortress with filly twilight inside it.....
its just so gosh darn cute!!!!
does anyone know where the small twilight image with her books fortress can be located at?
i wanna see the whole version of it it looks really cute!!!!!!
There are other groups that do the same job. In fact one was recommend when this place closed. Dunno if it's still active.
Is sad when places like this close but as they say, the show must go on.
I am writer number 25 or 26 of this site, way too many things have changed.
Still, just like Ponyburro (old joke) the library will have a place in the heart of those who it touched.
No self hating while I'm on patrol please.
If you don't respect yourself, how can you expect other ponies to respect you.
I hope you have a good day!
Sincerely Yours,
I have recently joined Twilight's Library. I think it's sad that the group has been closed down. I know that the group has become too big, but I thnk that problem could be solved by more people willing to help run the group.
I have been a member of FIM fic since February, and I really enjoy reading other ponies stories and reviewing them. I have experience, and if you do consider re-opening this group for stories, I would be over joyed to help out with this.
Sincerely Yours,
Don't jump to conclusions. Most of use don't even know the real you.
Love you Avatar By The Way ^_^
I have a group called Bronies for Life and I'm looking for new members. If you are interested, just tap the link. Thank you!
I've started a group on Fimfiction called the Tournament of Canterlot where authors can submit their stories and then try to get their followers to sponsor them by donating to Oxfam's Syria appeal. At the end of 2015, the stories who've gained the most sponsorship share in cash prizes up to $5,000, depending on how much is raised.
There's also a place for musicians, voice actors and other brony artists to offer prizes for specialized criteria such as the story with the best villain or the best shipping; motivating authors to advertise their stories/ the tournament, therefore raising more money for the Syrian Refugees.
>>385713 That combined with the fact that, canonically, Twilight's Library is, in fact, dead... gah, that's just an insult to injury, isn't it?
Eh. We need to figure out what we're doing before we try to recruit anyone.

Bhopal, Jan 1: Id-ul-Zuha celebrations across Madhya Pradesh today were marred by protest against the hanging of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussain by wearing black arm bands by the faithfuls.
The Id prayers passed off peacefully, official sources here said.
At Badwani town in western Madhya Pradesh, Sunni Muslims displayed black arm bands during Id prayers at the Jama Masjid and three other mosques.
Sunni Samaj district chief Dr Abdul Rashid Patel said after the Id prayers, tributes were also paid to Saddam Hussain by rendering quotes from the Quran.
At Sendhwa town in Badwani district, few hundred Sunnis held a meeting and condemned hanging of the former Iraqi President.
Reports received here from Gwalior and Jabalpur said the Muslims by wearing black arm bands protested the hanging.
Earlier, effigies of US President George Bush were burnt at different places in the state immediately after Saddam was hanged to death on Saturday.
Madhya Pradesh Governor Balram Jakhar and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan have greeted the Muslims on the occasion of Id-ul-Zuha and wished them happiness and prosperity.

I used this on a household mirror by carving a collegiate logo into a square and then applying it to the mirror. The collegiate lettering/logo looked chrome and the other looked blasted. Worked out really well, but I might add, it is perforated which I did not know.

Look of etched glass for windows and glass
Our specialty is sandcarved glass, but this product simulates the look without the permanence for those who cannot afford to etch their windows and doors or simply want to have a change now and then. This is a great product!

The Forward's new Yiddish site has certainly taken off with a bang.
In the days since the launch of the yiddish.forward.com site was announced, several major media outlets have run stories on it, and what it means for the future of the Yiddish language.
We hoped the new site might get a lot of attention in the U.S. But we had no idea there would be interest from the four corners of the globe.
As proof, we offer a link to the French news site l'Express, which ran an article in French on the Yiddish site from the Agence France Presse wire service.
Read it and enjoy, nos amis!
Forward Staff
Your Comments
The Forward welcomes reader comments in order to promote thoughtful discussion on issues of importance to the Jewish community. In the interest of maintaining a civil forum, The Forward requires that all commenters be appropriately respectful toward our writers, other commenters and the subjects of the articles.

taxijim replied to Tim.D's topic in GeneralCongratulations Helmer.....you can't put a value to what this guy brings to the team......HEART.....never takes a shift off.......St.Andrews, Manitoba is very proud & happy for you !!
taxijim replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralMicky pointed that out saying most don't realize how important Helm is to this team
taxijim replied to redwingfan19's topic in GeneralWe could use a guy like Colton Orr......never score a lot of goals but a real team guy who would hold other teams accountable when they constantly run our premier players or our goalie......he doesn't win every fight but he has broken a few noses around the league!! Being a huge Helm fan I remember in 2008 when he was called up for the Cup run, he had a thing going with Brooks Orkpik......whenever Orkpik took a few liberties with young Helmer, McCarty was right there right away to make sure things went "smoothly". This is something this years team misses badly!

taxijim replied to Nevermind's topic in GeneralI think Helm should be given the odd powerplay shot & see what he can create with a little more open ice.....not sayin he should be on the # one or two PP units....but the odd chance would be nice. I can think of a few times when due to botched line changes Helmer has ended up on the ice with Zett or Dats & the puck has gone in the other teams net. I remember this preseason when Helm anchored the "Grand Rapids Red Wings" against the pretty well full Toronto Maple Leafs & he got a goal & two assists on the PP & was first star. Late last season & early this season our PP has been kinda lack luster & I think a little fresh blood on it might help!
taxijim replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in Generalbest post of the new season so far!!...hahahaha
taxijim replied to Nevermind's topic in GeneralI bet Helm is happy he didn't sign with us......so Jovo wouldn't finish off his Darth Vader Death Grip (from last springs playoffs) at training camp.....haha

taxijim replied to stevkrause's topic in GeneralTo me thats just a late,late hit.....the puck was way up the side boards & Horton had nothing to do with the play anymore. I feel if they would have severely punished these types of hits earlier in the last few years there would be a lot fewer concussed players today.....once a guy gets rid of the puck he is out of the play & it shouldn't be open season on him.....most of Scott Stevens hits were of this nature & it should have been stopped then,instead of being praised. Now a lot of key players are getting concussions & a lot of them never return to their original selves on the ice. I like a hard hit as much as the next guy, but these Torres kinda hits have to be stopped or the game will become like UFC in nature.
taxijim replied to evilzyme's topic in GeneralHow about on the ODD powerplay?......wouldn't it be fun to see Helm digging it out of the corners or behind the net & feeding it to our two smartest players!!
taxijim replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralCome on Helmer.....you got one for mom last year....do it again!!
They just interviewed Helmer on CBC & his face wasn't too marked up lol
Had to laugh at the CBC announcers who thought Helm was faking when he was high sticked.... had to show three replays before they unwillingly admitted the stick hit his face. ....guess they are favouring the Jets!

Eli Manning Hangin' with Big Dogs
- Updated: May 4, 2014
Eli Manning may be missing Giants spring activities, but he's not missing the action at Yankee Stadium. Eli was in Derek Jeter's suite to witness Tampa Bay's 5-1 win over the Yankees.
Eli wasn't alone, either. Bro Peyton was in the Big Apple to appear on the Letterman show, so he decided to swing by with his younger brother and touch base with the Yankees' captain.
Do you think Peyton was chatting up Jeter over how the retirement so he can accumulate some advance info for himself? Rumors are swirling around that 2014 may be Peyton's last season behind center.
Retirement is down the road for Eli, but the ankle surgery he is recovering from is probably giving him some thoughts about his own athletic mortality.
With all the knuckleheads in sports, it doesn't get much better than the Manning brothers and Jeter. Hopefully Eli and Peyton take a cue from Jeter's mistake. I think Derek hung around a couple of years too long.
A thought about Eli..no matter how many Super Bowl rings he wins, he will always be the little brother . He really needs to stay out of the public with Petyon.

Cross-country specialist Balthazar King defied top weight with a narrow victory over Any Currency in the Glenfarclas Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Winner of this specialist contest in 2012, the Philip Hobbs-trained 10-year-old just denied Any Currency by a short head after a mighty tussle in the hands of Richard Johnson.
Big Shu, the winner 12 months ago, was two lengths away in third with Duke Of Lucca fourth.
Johnson said: "He's just amazing. I thought it would be difficult off top weight, but he never stops trying.
"He just wants to win. He's a real front-runner but he saved a little bit for the end."
Hobbs said: "Balthazar King keeps coming year after year after year.
"He's essentially just very genuine.
"He stays very well and he's very clever.
"He kept on going and stayed on well, but I wasn't sure whether he'd won at the line."
Sire Collonges had made the running with Any Currency and Duke Of Lucca, a stablemate of the winner, also handy from the outset.
There was little change in the order until the final circuit where Any Currency went on under Ian Popham but his move was covered by Johnson on Balthazar King.
Big Shu, the 3-1 favourite, was brought into the race quietly by Paul Carberry but he could not quite get to the first two, who fought out a battle royal up the hill after three miles seven furlongs and 32 fences.
Martin Keighley, trainer of runner-up Any Currency, said: "I'm gutted. It was a great run and Ian gave him a fantastic ride.
"He really deserved to win something like that.
"He's always been a bit of a monkey, but the course suits him and he's a relentless galloper."

Candi...you are one do the brave ones to branch out with different colors. I really like what you have.
Love your colours Candi and great idea to wait and audition a constant. I went with Bonnies colours which are my favourites anyway. Really pleased with the way it is coming along, first time I have been able to keep up.
I am not as brave yet and did mine in the colors Bonnie selected. But I have caught up and can now relax.
Most of you know I'm having a problem with my cp..JeanieG has helped me..Thanks Jeanie...sooo, today I typed in the web address from last week and just changed the # from 3 to 4 and It worked!!!! I am so happy...
I love what everyone is doing. I didn't work on step 3 at all, so I'm really behind. Hope to catch up this weekend.
Step 4 is up: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/ She states this is an easy step since we are getting close to Christmas, but really? 64 flying geese is easy?!?!?! Not in my book. But I am enjoying the mystery of all this.
LOL..I hear ya. I am too enjoying the mystery of this..going for a walk and after I come back I will cut and maybe stitch a few geese.
If I had seen a pattern like that in a magazine I would have skipped right past it! Now I really like this kind of thing!
When you are pressing the flying geese, do you press towards the outside triangles or the big triangle to get the best looking flying geese?

****GRAPHIC***For all the Pro-lifers: The way it was
I am going to note here that the article contains a disturbing picture of a woman laying face down in a pool of blood after a botched abortion. I removed it here in case it is against CM guidelines.
In 1959, when I was a precocious smarty-pants still in grade school, I wrote a fake letter to Doris Blake, the New York Daily News advice columnist. I pretended to be a teenage girl "in trouble." I spun a tale of a liquor-soaked prom night and passing out in the back of a car. I included a cast of entirely fictional characters-a worthless boyfriend, a mentally unstable mother, a strict, brutal father. I ended my letter with: "Now I think I am pregnant. Please help me. I am desperate."
I'm not sure what I expected, but my letter was not printed, and no advice was forthcoming. The silence was utter. Possibly Miss Blake, like Nathanael West's Miss Lonelyhearts, had a drawer where such letters were tossed. If so, the other letters in that drawer were no doubt a lot like mine-except that they were not written by wiseass children. They were real. And for the writers of those letters, the silence was real. And I remember thinking: Gee, what if I really were that girl I made up? What would I do?
One summer night some years later, when I was not quite 18, I got knocked up. There was nothing exciting or memorable or even interestingly sordid about the sex. I wasn't raped or coerced, nor was I madly in love or drunk or high. The guy was another kid, actually younger than I, just a friend, and it pretty much happened by default. We were horny teenagers with nothing else to do.
Nature, the ultimate unsentimental pragmatist, has its own notions about what constitutes a quality liaison. What nature wants is for sperm and egg to meet, as often as possible, whenever and wherever possible. Whatever it takes to expedite that meeting is fine with nature. If it's two people with a bassinet and a nursery all decorated and waiting and a shelf full of baby books, fine. If it's a 12-year-old girl who's been married off to a 70-year-old Afghan chieftain, fine. And if it's a couple of healthy young oafs like my friend and me, who knew perfectly well where babies come from but just got stupid for about 15 minutes, that's fine, too.
In the movies, newly pregnant women trip, fall down the stairs, and "lose the baby." Ah. If only it were that easy. In real life, once that egg is fertilized and has glided on down the fallopian tube, selected its nesting place, and settled in, it's notoriously secure, behaves like visiting royalty. Nature doesn't give a fig about the hostess's feelings of hospitality or lack of them. If the zygote's not defective, and the woman is in good health, almost nothing will shake it loose. Anyone who's been pregnant and didn't want to be knows this is so.
On November 5, 2003, three decades after Roe v. Wade established a woman's constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy, President George W. Bush signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban bill into law. We've all seen the photograph: The president sits at a table with a modest little smile on his lips. Nine guys-senators and congressme-stand behind him, watching that signature go onto the paper, giddy grins on their faces. They look almost goofy with joy.
Two of these happy fellows are actually Democrats: Jim Oberstar and Bart Stupak. The rest are Republicans to their marrow: the bill's sponsor, Rick Santorum, as well as Steve Chabot, Orrin Hatch, Henry Hyde, Tom DeLay, Mike DeWine, and Dennis Hastert.
Be assured that it's not just "partial-birth" abortion they're so happy about passing a law against. It's all the law heralds. Like some ugly old wall-to-wall carpeting they've been yearning to get rid of, they finally, finally loosened a little corner of Roe. Now they can start to rip the whole thing up, roll it back completely, and toss it in the Dumpster.
For with the PBAB, Bush and Co. have achieved the first federal legal erosion of Roe v. Wade since its adoption in 1973. Roe states that a woman may terminate a pregnancy up to the point of "viability," approximately 24 weeks. After that, states may prohibit or restrict abortion, but exceptions must be made to preserve "the life or health of the woman." The PBAB has been around the block before-in 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2000. What stopped it before was always the debate over allowances for women's health. President Clinton vetoed it three times because it disallowed exceptions to prevent serious disabling injury to the woman. But when the bill came up again in 2002, allowances for prevention of disabling injury to the mother were left out, as were those for rape and incest. A "partial-birth" abortion would be permitted only as a last resort to save the mother's life, or if the fetus was already dead. In other words, the risk of permanent injury to the woman if she proceeds with the pregnancy is not a good enough reason to perform one-not in Santorum's book. She has to be literally on death's doorstep. A couple of Democrats tried to offer an amendment that brought up that pesky women's health issue again. The bill's authors objected. Women and their doctors will just use the amendment as a loophole! Chabot worried it would create "a phony ban" and Santorum predicted it would be defeated. It was.
One Democratic senator proposed a nonbinding resolution, expressing "...the sense of the Senate that...Roe v. Wade was appropriate and secures an important constitutional right and should not be overturned." This amendment passed in the Senate by a 52-46 vote. The House version of the PBAB lacked any such amendment.
In conference, the Republicans quickly took care of that feeble bleat on behalf of Roe: They simply deleted it. When the bill landed on Bush's desk, the resolution to reaffirm Roe was gone.
What, you might ask, is "partial-birth" abortion? Most of us know that the term is not a medical one. Invented by the pro-life folks in the last decade or so, it's a vague reference to "intact dilation and extraction," or D&X. Introduced in 1992, D&X is a variation on a similar, well-established second- (and sometimes third-) term procedure-"dilation and evacuation," or D&E-used after the fetus has grown too large to be vacuumed or scraped out in a simple D&C, or "dilation and curettage."
In a D&E, the fetus is usually dismembered inside the uterus and extracted in pieces. Old obstetrics books from as far back as the 1700s have disquieting illustrations of the various tools of yore used for fetal dismemberment. Nowadays, powerful gripping forceps are used, making the procedure much less dangerous for the woman.
The D&X was developed with the same objective. An inherent hazard of D&E-aside from potential damage by the instruments themselves and the risk of leaving tissue behind, increasing the chances of infection-is that fetal bones begin to calcify at about 13 weeks. As they are broken up, the sharp bone ends can puncture, scrape, and perforate. Hence the "intact" dilation and extraction. The fetus is brought out whole instead of being pulled apart bit by bit. The head is punctured and then collapsed by suction or compression so that it will fit through the partially dilated cervix. The fetus is dead, but in one piece. This, specifically, is the procedure the PBAB has sought to criminalize-when the fetus is killed while its body is outside the uterus, therefore "partially born."
Under the PBAB of 2003, a D&X would be permitted only to save the woman's life or if the fetus is dead. It would require a girl who'd been impregnated by her uncle, father, or brother, and who, out of shame, ignorance, and fear had hidden her condition until it was obvious to the world, to carry the fetus to term and give birth. If a woman discovers, late in her pregnancy, that the fetus has, say, anencephaly-a brain stem but no actual brain-then she must carry it to term, give birth, and let it die on its own.
Since lurid descriptions of partial-birth abortion have been so effective in rallying support for the bill, perhaps some balance is needed. I've read and heard hundreds of accounts of pre-Roe abortion, and there was a wide range of danger, squalor, sanitary conditions, provider skill, follow-up care. The well-heeled and well-connected often flew to Puerto Rico or Sweden and checked into clinics. Of the ones who couldn't do that, some were lucky enough to find competent, compassionate doctors. Some were treated kindly and recovered without incident. The other extreme was pain, terror, and death worthy of the Inquisition. A typical picture emerges, though, and it matches up just about perfectly with a story told to me by a woman I know.
After a date rape (by a "poet") during a trip to Paris in 1967 when she was 23, she found herself pregnant. She tried the usual "remedies"-scalding hot baths, violent jumping, having someone walk on her belly. When she got home to Minnesota, she was two months along. A doctor friend there said he couldn't help her himself, but sent her to a local prostitute who did abortions.
The prostitute had her own speculum. The procedure was done on the prostitute's bed: The catheter was inserted through the cervix and left there. After four days of high fever, chills, bleeding, and passing big chunks of tissue, she landed in the hospital. They said her uterus was perforated, that she had acute peritonitis and an "incomplete" abortion. She was given a huge dose of penicillin and treated as if she were some sort of contemptible lower life form. The emergency-room doctor snarled, "What have you done to yourself?" Later, she realized that the first doctor-her friend-had known all along that she'd probably get desperately ill. Only then could a hospital legally give her a D&C.
She recovered-sterile, violently allergic to penicillin, and so "paralyzed and ashamed" by the experience that she stayed away from men for four years. Who says deterrence doesn't work?
Originally taken by a police officer in Norwich, Connecticut in June 1964 and published by Ms. magazine in April 1973. WikimediaThen there's the famous 1964 police photograph of a woman's corpse on a motel-room floor in Connecticut. She's kneeling naked, face down as if to Mecca, legs bent to her chest, bloody towels bunched under her. The case had made local headlines, but the picture wasn't seen by the general public until Ms. Magazine ran it in a 1973 article lauding the ruling of Roe v. Wade. Details emerged about the woman's life and death: She was 27, married with two young daughters, but estranged from her violent husband. Her lover had performed the abortion, using borrowed instruments and a textbook. When she started hemorrhaging, he panicked, fled the motel, and left her there.
This is followed by 3 more pages if you will actually open your minds up a bit and read it. This is what will happen if the Pro-life sentiment is met and Roe v Wade is abolished. Do you really want that?
Some will die in hot pursuit and fiery auto crashes. Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes. Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain. ~Butthole Surfers
they will just ignore or come up with some bs to look clever.
yep...I think they think these girls deserve what they get.
It is immoral to wish this on people.
That is why the "moral movement" is so hypocritical.
I am simply surprised that when faced with the tragedy that comes when abortion is not legal and safe they have nothing to say.
I am still waiting on those Pro-lifers out there to come here and comment.
Why is it that they can throw out "murder" and "baby killer" when it suits them but when faced with a hard reality like what is outlined above they stay silent?
And you use Mother Jones? Seriously?
Yes, very serious. Why? Is it too hard to actually read what happened to women before abortions were legal and safe?
Quoting numbr1wmn:
Are you serious about this? REally?
Others use Fox News and Lifenews yet I still read them and comment. so this if for you, seriously?
Quoting numbr1wmn:
And you use Mother Jones? Seriously?


text: How many have downloaded the My Chevrolet/GMC/Buick/Caddilac apps for their smart phone? Theres also an "On Star remote link" and "Chevy Mobile Work bench" apps. I got a nice little surprise earlier tonight when I downloaded the "My Chevrolet" and "On-Star remote link". I already knew my new truck was pre loaded with remote start and if I wanted it on the truck I'd need to go to the dealer and have them program the computer and sync a set of key fobs to activate the function but when I registered my truck for My Chevrolet and On Star remote I found out quite accidently I could lock/un-lock my doors, check fuel level and tire pressure status, and start my truck remotely with my Droid phone. A screen comes up that looks just like the remote start capable key fobs and you press the buttons in the same sequence to start, door lock twice then engine start for 3 seconds. Now I wont need to go to the dealer unless I really feel the need to have a remote start key fob. I also found out my truck was Blue Tooth capable and has the Mobile Wi Fi hot spot hardware with a free 6 month trial period. Probably wont use the WiFi much but Blue Tooth will come in handy.

Miami saw a 15-point lead over Ohio State evaporate Tuesday, in part because McClinton was ejected after being called for a flagrant foul.
But Saturday, as a 21-point Hurricane lead dropped to four, McClinton and his teammates wouldn't allow another such comeback to be successful.
"I wanted to come out and start from where I left off in the last game," said McClinton, who again apologized for his actions against Ohio State. "We came out with a victory, and it feels great."
McClinton had plenty of help in this one, particularly from James Dews, who had a season-high 18 points, including 3-pointers to match his career best.
The tale of the tape in this one was found beyond the arc. Miami (5-2) matched a season high with eight 3s, while Kentucky (5-3) misfired on 23 of 25 from behind the line.
The Wildcats had their worst shooting game of the season, going 25-of-70 (35.7 percent). Even two late runs couldn't make up for the woeful early shooting.
"We missed too many shots early," Kentucky center Patrick Patterson said. "We have a bad habit of starting off sloppy. It's painful. They were handing us the game. We just didn't take advantage."
Down 49-28, Kentucky went on a 12-1 run to cut the deficit to 10. The Wildcats would get within four a few minutes later after a fastbreak layup by DeAndre Liggins and another one by Jodie Meeks, fed by Liggins following a steal.
But Miami's victory was preserved by two long jumpers by Brian Asbury.
The first appeared to be a 3, but his foot was ruled on the line. The second was a no-doubter, pushing the Hurricanes' lead to 65-56 with under two minutes left.
"A key thing that we talked about with this team is to have other key guys start making plays," Miami coach Frank Haith said. "Jack McClinton obviously made his plays, but we had other guys step up."
Asbury's 3 was Miami's only one of the second half, but it appeared early that the Hurricanes' sharp-shooting guards were going to overwhelm the Wildcats much the way VMI did earlier this season in an upset win.
Miami opened the game with two 3-pointers in the first minute and nailed two more, both by Dews, in the final minute before halftime. In between, things weren't much better for a Kentucky defense that couldn't seem to guard jump shots and a Kentucky offense that couldn't seem to make them.
Miami closed the half on a 15-4 run, including the two last-minute 3s by Dews, to take a 46-26 lead.
"Coach wants us to get open looks and take the shots," Dews said. "We have to be confident, and that's what we did tonight."
The taller Wildcats did the things they were expected to do, such as dominate the paint with 36 points compared to Miami's 18, and outrebound the Hurricanes 45-35.
Patterson had a career-high 16 rebounds to go along with his 19 points, his fifth double-double of the season.
Liggins, a freshman, also had a standout offensive game with several highlight reel plays en route to a career-high 18 points, but he was 0-for-8 from 3-point range. Meeks, Kentucky's usual long-range specialist, wasn't much better, hitting just two 3s in the first half and missing his other 10 tries.
"There was not much leadership," Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie said. "There was not much direction. There was not much passion. I thought it was very disappointing how we played."
Miami was fighting to remain in the Top 25 after the home loss to Ohio State. Kentucky hasn't beaten a ranked opponent since topping Tennessee last January.
Kentucky point guard Michael Porter, wearing a headband to cover up a laceration that required 10 stitches after his collision with teammate Ramon Harris, started the game but fouled out with only two points. Harris, who is sidelined indefinitely, attended the game wearing a neck collar.

Where to Watch MLS #FirstKick + a "Where do you watch" Poll
Written By: isps|
Mar 10, 2012
I don't know about you guys, but we are definitely feeling the excitement about MLS First Kick tonight… Dunny is in town to do RSL v. LAG, so the BP_TOW crew all got together for some dinner last night at LaLa's Argentine Grill (chimichurri FTW!!), @keroslowder was with us. He and Dunny were telling us some stories about the MLS First Kick Road Trip, they've done over the last two weeks, and its soooooo apparent, from everywhere, that everyone is ready for tonight!!
I'm sure a ton of you will be in a stadium somewhere (if you aren't out in a lot tailgating already) but for those who wont be at a stadium, make sure you jump over to www.mlssoccer.com to check out and bookmark the (TV schedule) + check your local listings to see what station and time the game is on … this season is looking like its going to be some thing special.
**I just thought of something random… for the people who aren't season ticket holders and/or don't go to games in person, I'm curious… where do you like to catch a game?

Recently I purchased a pre-owned 2002 WRX that appeared to be in decent condition at 120k miles. Well, as always with used cars, things are not as they seem. After a few months it became apparent that the vehicle was not taken care of at all, and required quite a bit of work. After replacing almost the entire front end of the vehicle, suspension, clutch, air intake, and leaking radiator, I noticed that the CEL was continuously on, reporting an 02 sensor issue and misfires on all four cylinders. While troubleshooting this issue, I discovered that the previous owner had welded a catless downpipe into the car. Now, for the price I figured some maintenance would be expected, but I'm beginning to run out of expertise in dealing with some of these issues, and although I really want to love this car, its becoming difficult. Just today I seemed to have developed another exhaust issue, and suddenly the vehicle is EXTREMELY loud.
I apologize in advance, but I have spent the last few months scouring this forum to repair my subie to a good condition, and I thank all of you for your contributions! But even after following stickies and others I have not found all of the fixes I need in order to properly care for the poor WRX I bought. I beseech you, can you help point me in the right direction?
1. Misfires on all four cylinders: After checking through the misfire thread I ran all of the fixes suggested with no luck. Now I'm no car expert, in fact I know very little, but I'm aware that the timing on a WRX should be addressed at around 100k miles or so. The previous owner claims to have had it done third party, but is it possible that could cause the problem?
2. Constant O2 CEL due to a catless downpipe: As far as I can tell, there are a few options to fix this, from replacing the welded on downpipe, to remapping the ecu to ignore this error. What do you suggest as a cost effective solution that benefits the cars performance?
3. Sudden increase in noise: I feel like there could be an exhaust leak somewhere or possibly issues with the muffler. During the drive to work today the car was just suddenly incredibly loud, growling all the way down the road. Kind of sounds similar to some of those modders who put crazy exhaust systems on their cars, or even remove mufflers. Any pointers or suggestions on where to start troubleshooting?
EDIT: I am now getting a severe drop off in power, the car drives incredibly slow. Any suggestions would be much appreciated :/
Thanks in advance for all of your time, be gentle, I'm new at this (and cars in general.. I'm a poor CS major) and I want to do it right. It just seems the previous owner to my WRX took things too rough and didn't bother to care for the car.
