Pro Abortion Group's Macabre Ad: Hey Baby, it's the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade… Aww Yeah!
Filed Under Abortion, Celebrity Idiots | 28 Comments
Here's an actual "Happy Anniversary, Roe v. Wade" video from the Center for Reproductive Rights featuring some actor I've never heard of who has appeared in some shows I've never watched. Unbelievably, it's not a twisted parody — at least not intentionally.
Keep in mind as you watch that 55 million babies have been sucked from the womb and discarded since SCOTUS affirmed abortion — so let's get it on!
Alternate video title: "Hey baby, if I ever knock you up it's nice to know I won't have to take responsibility for it… right?"
So the feminists are cool with this? I guess so.
And what about stereotypes? It's been asked if anybody will be angry that these abortion-peddlers used a black man to shill for the number one killer in the black community? "Paging Jesse Jackson!" (cue crickets)

The actor co-stars in "Necessary Roughness" as a totally self-absorbed ladies man / receiver for a fictional NY NFL football team who is at first forced to undergo psychotherapy and then comes to depend on it from the star, Callie Thorne. He carries his character into this pro-abortion vid. very well. I like the series in spite of him.
I guess it requires self-absorption to celebrate the killing of over 55 million unwanted babies (and the unmentioned mothers who`ve died in the process). EVIL, pure evil !
In the spirit of the late, great Paul Harvey; I`m sure the actor would want me to mention his name …….

I love Frederic Bastiat:
When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law.
This is a win-win for the Progs. This way, they get people not caring about the law, people will violate the laws, so they can arrest at will, and/or losing their moral sense, so they can use violence and deception at will.

Sherwood High School is right next door to where I went to church, and the risk to children getting hurt on Sunday mornings from a car going 35mph was small.
Another one I find interesting is the "20 mph when children are present"
How am I supposed to know when children are present in the school? With all of the holidays they get (my 1st grader has the next 2 Mondays off for some reason). Does this include summer time, when the kids are using the school as a playground (as opposed to the rest of the year when the teachers do the same)?

The abortion clinic needs to offer you some of the finest services including effective counseling services. Once you get all these services you will be able to stay healthy all the time. The best thing that you should do is to go for a counseling session at the first place while you are planning to go for an abortion.

Munich, Germany (SPX) Sep 19, 2011
Dams and weirs have a stronger impact on the ecosystem of watercourses than was previously realized. Species diversity in the dammed area upstream of weirs shows a significant decline: the diversity of fish species is one-quarter lower on average, and species diversity among invertebrates is up to 50 percent lower.
The interruption of a river course thus has greater effects on the biodiversity than the geological origin of the river itself. Scientists from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen have demonstrated this on the basis of a survey of five rivers in the catchment areas of the Elbe, Rhine/Main, and Danube.
Their analysis records, for the first time, both abiotic factors, for example chemical composition, current, and river bed substrate, and biotic factors, such as the number, size, and diversity of all important animal and plant groups on the two sides of weirs. The TUM researchers will present their findings, which have already been published online in the Journal of Applied Ecology, at the annual conference of the German Limnological Society, which takes place from September 12 to 16, 2011.
Whether it is done for the generation of electricity, for flood protection, or collection of drinking water, the damming of a river represents a drastic intervention in its ecosystem. Weirs and dams alter the chemical and physical characteristics of the water and the riverbed. Their construction is accompanied by a clear decline in upstream species diversity, and this is exacerbated by successive damming.
This phenomenon, which is known as "serial discontinuity," has now been measured for all important animal and plant groups by system biologists from the TUM for the first time; the information available up to now concerned only individual taxonomic groups or species.
The scientists carried out a systematic survey of the aquatic organisms on both sides of the weirs in five rivers of different geological origins. Their survey revealed a significant reduction in the number, biomass and variety of periphyton, invertebrates, and fish species upstream of the weirs. Compared with downstream areas, the diversity of fish species measured upstream of weirs was 25 percent lower on average; a threefold decline in biomass was also observed.
Current-loving fish species, many of which are on the "Red List" of endangered species, are particularly severely affected. "Brown trout, grayling and Danube salmon are demanding fish species that require oxygen-rich water and spawn in coarse gravel areas.
As typical residents of the upper reaches of rivers, they are unable to find suitable habitats in dammed areas," explains Juergen Geist, Professor of Aquatic Systems Biology at TUM.
"These river sections are often dominated instead by bream, chub, and even carp - generalist species that are actually adapted to stagnant waters. The ecological impoverishment of rivers is particularly dramatic when series of dams prevent the sufficient interlinking of different habitat types," says Geist. According to the Bayerische Landesamt fur Umwelt (Bavarian Environmental Agency) there are more than 10,000 weirs in Bavaria's rivers alone.
According to the researchers, the main reason for the species decline is not the impermeability of the barrier to migrating fish species. Instead, the deciding factor is the chemical and physical alteration of the river itself which leads to a reduction of biodiversity.
If the current is decelerated or interrupted, the flow rate upstream of the weir declines, and this is accompanied by increased water depth. In all of the surveyed dammed areas, the TUM scientists also recorded major differences in the oxygen content and temperature of the water and the sediment in the river bed, which hinders reproduction in current-loving fish species.
The situation is compounded by differences in the structure of the sediments. The particles in the sediment found downstream of weirs are twice as large on average as those upstream, providing more and better quality spawning grounds.
River sections in the direct proximity of weirs should, therefore, be given greater consideration in ecological quality assessments, notes Prof. Geist: "During the evaluation of new weirs or modernization of hydroelectric power plants, attention should no longer be focused exclusively on the migration of fish species, but on the consequences of the structure and function for the river ecosystem as a whole."
To ensure this, affected river sections must be covered by the relevant laws or regulations, such as the European Union Water Framework Directive. "A set of instruments for the quantification of the effects of weirs is now available, which records both the quality of the habitat and its biodiversity," says the TUM scientist.

Strangozzi Alla Spoletina
Strangozzi is Spoleto's traditional long and irregularly hand-cut pasta. Strangozi means "strangled priests," and the pasta clearly dates from the region's rebellion against papal domination in the 14th century. Spoletina sauce is a peppery tomato sauce made from southern Italian peppers and parsley.
- Servings: 6
- 3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- One 35-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, tomatoes crushed, juices reserved
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
How to make this recipe
Combine the flour and salt in a food processor and pulse to mix. With the machine on, add the eggs and process until moist crumbs form. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until firm and smooth. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook over low heat until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and their juices and simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper.
Cut the dough into quarters; work with one piece at a time and keep the rest covered. Using a hand-cranked pasta machine, roll the pasta through the widest setting. Then roll it until you reach the next-to-the-thinnest setting. Halfway through, when the sheet of dough becomes too long, cut it in half crosswise and continue rolling. Cut the pasta sheets to 10 to 12 inches long and drape them over drying racks or the back of a chair. Repeat with the remaining pasta dough. Let the sheets dry slightly before cutting them.
Beginning with a short end, loosely roll each pasta sheet into a log. Cut the logs crosswise into 1/4-inch strands. Unfold the strands and arrange them loosely on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain well and return the pasta to the pot. Add the sauce and toss well. Transfer the pasta to 6 warmed plates, garnish with the parsley and serve at once.
Suggested Pairing
Smooth the acidity of the tomatoes in the sauce for the strangozzi with a medium-bodied, oaked Chardonnay.

Did you know that storing gas in your car is potentially deadly even in the smallest of traffic accidents or extreme heat?
Ehow.com has this to say.
"For many, carrying extra gas in a car can seem like a wise safety precaution; you never have to worry about running out of fuel if you carry extra with you. However, carrying gasoline in a car can be potentially dangerous. According to the National Ag Safety Database, one cup of gasoline can produce enough explosive vapors to match the power of five pounds of dynamite. If gasoline is stored or transported improperly, it can result in extreme injuries; if you cannot follow all safety precautions established by the National Ag Safety Database, you should not carry gas in your car."
Are you storing gas in your car?
If so, I recommend you take it out immediately. Not only is it unsafe, it's also illegal in many areas.
What's the alternative?
Spare Fuel provides the answer. We created this product to help people stay safe on the roads. Storing gas in your car is just not a good idea. Storing Spare Fuel in your car is completely safe and won't explode even in the harshest of conditions.
Have piece of mind and carry Spare Fuel.

Not surprised. If he stays healthy it is a good signing. Now they have to move Hanley to second or third though. I hope he tears his hamstring off completely though.Once the Miami Marlins moved their offer to free agent infielder Jose Reyes past $100 million over 6 years, things escalated quickly. Now, according to a series of tweets from Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, there is a deal officially in place.
According to Rosenthals sources, the deal is for 6 years and $106 million dollars, pending a physical, and does not include a no-trade clause.
SI.coms Jon Heyman reports that, as expected, the plan is for Hanley Ramirez to move to third base to open the way for Reyes to play shortstop.
Although the money is less than the $111 million that was initially rumored, Heyman also points out based on a suggestion from one of his readers that the lack of a Florida state income tax makes $106 million worth a lot more coming from the Marlins than it might from another team.

The Wade Phillips era ended in Dallas on Monday.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones fired Phillips as head coach following the team's 1-7 start to the season. The team named offensive coordinator Jason Garrett the interim head coach.
"We're all grateful to Wade," Jones said. "But we're not where we want to be at this time, and that's an understatement."
Phillips went 34-22 in more than three seasons as Cowboys coach. And despite receiving a contract extension last winter, he could not survive a dismal campaign this year, when the Cowboys had hoped to become the first team to host and play in the Super Bowl.
The Cowboys lost 45-7 in Green Bay on Sunday. It was their second straight blowout loss following a broken left clavicle suffered by Pro Bowl QB Tony Romo in Week 7.
Jones, who in recent weeks said he wouldn't fire Phillips during the season, said he was "reluctant" to make such move until now. "There was a lot of denial in me for at least the last couple of ballgames," he said.
PHILLIPS' STATEMENT: Thanks Cowboys for chance to coach team
The owner addressed Cowboys players with news of the coaching change on Monday. What was his message?
"I told them that they should not think for even a second that this is an admission of defeat or finality for this season," Jones said. "We have eight games remaining and we have one goal -- to win."
MORE CHANGES: Garrett, Pasqualoni promoted, but leash is short
Cowboys players reacted somberly to Phillips' dismissal in the team's locker room.
"Anytime someone loses a job and you obviously have something to do with it, it's tough," WR Miles Austin said.
QB Jon Kitna, who became the team's starter after the loss of Romo, said that Phillips' firing is not a cure-all for the team's problems, however.
"Hopefully competitive character and personal pride kicks in," Kitna said. "If there was an easy solution to this, we wouldn't be here.
"But there's not an easy solution. It's going to take time to fix."
Jones held off criticizing his players for a lack of effort, but added in a stern tone that he wants to see enthusiasm from his players,
"We are not recognizing the need to play in a winning way," he said. "... You ought to play like it's the last play of your life every down."
Jones vowed after Sunday's loss that there would be "consequences" for players and coaches. But his dismissal of Phillips was still surprising.
As recently as Friday Jones said that he would retain Phillips through the rest of the year. Last month, Jones predicted there would be few coaching changes in the NFL this year.
The Cowboys, five games out of first place in the NFC East, are tied with the Carolina Panthers for the worst record in the NFC. They trail only the 0-8 Buffalo Bills for the NFL's worst record.
They travel to New York to play the Giants next week.
Garrett, who turned down opportunities to become a head coach in Baltimore and Atlanta in 2008, has been the team's offensive coordinator since 2007. He was a backup QB for the Cowboys from 1993-1999.
Jones said that he thinks Garrett's "temperament" -- the new coach is not known for the friendly style that Phillips has -- will be effective for the Cowboys.
He also said that Garrett has a chance to earn the full-time head coaching job.

No matter what you collect or why, there's no denying that C2 Corvettes (1963-67) remain blue chip investments. In fact, there's really no such thing as an undesirable C2, and when you start saying the words "Corvette" and "big block" in the same sentence, that desirability takes on a whole new meaning. As Chevrolet's first big block and only 396 powered Corvette, this awesome 1965 C2 roadster is a highly exclusive rarity which wraps a numbers matching drivetrain in one of the best color combinations in Corvette history. Whether you're in the market for one of the coolest Corvettes ever made or just an outstanding muscle car, this fully sorted, investment grade Sting Ray is the kind of centerpiece that can anchor a collection or fulfill a lifelong dream.
Before we go any further, I'll go ahead and break down the VIN and cowl tag so you know exactly what this car is.
- 1 – Chevrolet
- 94 – Corvette
- 67 – Convertible
- 5 – 1965 model year
- S – St. Louis assembly plant
- 122121 – Production sequence
- K29 – Manufactured on June 29th of 1965
- 19467 – Convertible
- A-6812 – A: A.O. Smith body, 6812: Body number
- STD – Black vinyl trim
- M-M – Milano Maroon exterior paint
All Corvettes are red is probably an overstatement, but it's hard to argue that red Corvettes don't look awesome. Originally sprayed in Milano Maroon, this slick C2 was recently restored in a glowing coat of bright red paint that looks simply stunning in person. Get up close and personal with the car and it becomes very obvious that its fiberglass body has been correctly prepped and sanded as there are no bonding seams visible from any angle and alignment is good all around. Further examination of the details reveals headlight doors that fit well, details that are crisp, a laser sharp crease that surrounds the entire body and aggressive 'shark fin' fenders which show no signs of rounding from an overzealous sander. With a great looking body, excellent finish work and super smooth paint, this C2 is one slick roadster that looks much better than the day it rolled out of a Chevrolet showroom and finally presents an appearance that is worthy of its exceptional design and performance.
Thanks to heavy influence from both motorsports and the original Mako Shark concept car, the second generation Corvette benefitted from a much more sporty and striking appearance. At the front of the car, a body width grille sits inside show worthy stainless that is flanked by two chrome trimmed marker lights and an excellent looking razor sharp front bumper. Above the bumper, a red, white and black Corvette C2 crossed flag emblem is affixed in front of a functional 'power blister' air scoop that was needed to accommodate the cars 396 big block engine. Behind the hood, stainless windshield wipers clear great looking factory tinted glass that is framed by well-maintained stainless trim and a black canvas top with a plastic rear window. At the sides of the car, vertical heat extractors sit below pristine "396 Turbo-Jet" crossed flag emblems, and great looking stainless rocker moldings sit above the cars original side pipes which are equipped with traditional finned stainless heat shields. At the back of the car, a standard equipment power antenna sits beside a chrome trimmed center mounted Corvette fuel filler and a fresh black and chrome "Corvette Sting Ray" emblem. Below that pristine emblem, the car's rear valence holds four traditional round Corvette tail lights above a chrome trimmed tag bracket and two more razor blade style bumpers.
Tip the hood forward and you'll find a 1965-exclusive L78 396 V8 which carries a 3855962 casting number and is original to the car. Introduced to combat higher horsepower muscle cars from competing automakers, Chevrolet's High Performance 396 utilizes forged pop-top pistons, a steel crankshaft, a solid lifter cam, rectangular port closed chamber heads and 4-bolt main caps to create a stout 11 to 1 compression ratio and 425 horsepower. At the top of the engine, a satin black air filter feeds a correct Holley carburetor and Winter aluminum intake. At the back of the engine, a correct transistor ignition sends spark through sleeved wires that snake around correct exhaust manifolds; and at the front of the engine, a correct Harrison radiator sends coolant through new hoses and correct tower clamps. Whoever performed the restoration on this Corvette did an excellent job of creating a great looking, reliable engine bay that is as well detailed as the rest of the car. Bright Chevy Orange paint covers the block from oil pan to valve covers and, as always, looks great against the satin black engine bay. Correct decals are present and accounted for, and nice details like an AC fuel filter and new belts ensure that this car runs as good as it looks.
Behind the big block engine you'll find an original Muncie 4-speed transmission which delivers the potent acceleration that Corvettes are famous for. At the sides of that Muncie, the cars straight and clean frame wears a good looking coat of satin black paint, and above that Muncie original looking fiberglass floor tubs present well and still wear a moderate layer of undercoating. The cars original double A-arm and independent rear suspension appears to be in excellent operating condition and standard 4-wheel disc brakes provide quick stops and tighter cornering. Based on appearance, everything under this C2 Corvette appears to be fully sorted and in tip-top shape and there are no significant leaks or trouble spots of any kind. At the corners of the car, classic 15 inch 'turbine' aluminum wheels wear authentic aluminum knock offs and a fresh set of 215/70 Firestone FR680 radials.
The cars correct standard black vinyl interior contrasts its bright red exterior well and still looks extremely fresh. The foam underneath the seats covers has seen just enough road trips to both keep its composure and feel comfortable. The carpets still feature their correct jet black color and are protected by correct black rubber floor mats. At the front of the car, stylish aircraft-inspired gauges appear to be original, and look fantastic next to the brushed metal panel on the glove box and center console. The center of the dash creates what is commonly called a waterfall design, and holds a continuous motion clock above a correct vertically mounted AM/FM radio and fully functional chrome shifter. At the sides of the car, great looking stainless trimmed door panels hold chrome handles for the cars doors and windows above perfectly placed armrests. And in front of the driver, a nicely restored 3-spoke Rally wheel features a satin finish, a wood rim and a pristine C2 Corvette cross flag horn button.
Look at the price books, the market analysis, and the classifieds in your favorite magazine, and you'll see that Corvette prices have been virtually immune to dips and recessions. The reason is simple; they' re great cars to own, and people who know Corvettes know that the big block cars drive like nothing else. This awesome 1965 roadster is a nicely restored piece that runs exceptionally well and offers an outstanding ownership experience. If you've been looking for a mid-year Corvette that you can show with pride or keep for a while and make a nice return on, your search is over.

TOP STORY >> Speakers firm has its critics
Leader staff writer
Sunken treasure hunter Wilf Blum, who spoke recently at the Jacksonville Museum of Military History, says salvaging lost cargo from the ocean floor is expensive and returns are uncertain.
He says he tells potential investors straight up, This is very, very risky. Dont invest anything you cant afford to lose. Instead, he hopes to sell them gold, his latest moneymaking venture.
Blums company is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, but his treasure hunting is centered in the Caribbean.
Blums unusual business has attracted attention from the press, as well as criticism from financial-market observers. Three years ago, Chuck Jaffe of MarketWatch singled out Blums company as Stupid Investment of the Week, warning would-be investors to put their money elsewhere.
On a blog on Deep Blue Marines Web site, postings include messages from disgruntled investors and observers of the company.
One unhappy investor who tipped The Leader off about the shaky prospects with Deep Blue Marine described Blum as a great guy and a talker who is immediately liked, but that his companys slick public-relations campaign had a history of big promises of treasure to keep people buying the stock.
Weve sold all the stock we wanted to, Blum said in an interview this week.
Recently, Deep Blue Marine has gotten into the business of buying and selling gold to raise the money to keep going.
Blum says no dividends have been issued so far and that we wont turn the corner for another two years, as far as any profits on the horizon are concerned.
Running short of capital to meet expenses, Deep Blue Marine had to sell off stock, which caused the value of the stock to drop like a rock, Blum said. Hopefully, that will change in the future.
Since going into the underwater salvage business four years ago, Blum and his crews have recovered two airplanes, four boats and a crane from the reservoir above Hoover Dam, which had been lost during construction. Of the ships, one dated to the 1600s, one to the mid-1800s and one to the 1700s. Two were of no commercial value, Blum said.
Danna Kay Duggar, coordinator of the Jacksonville Museum of Military History, said that a state regent for the Daughters of the American Revolution let her know about Blum coming to town to speak at a DAR convention. It was suggested that he speak at the museum while in the area.
I know he takes investors, but he never mentioned any of that in his lecture, Duggar said.

In 1972, James Hanley sat in an auditorium full of fellow first year dental students. As they went around the room introducing themselves and what undergraduate college they came from, the new student began to be intimidated.
Many of his classmates had come directly from undergrad, had come from Ivy League schools and other large, prestigious colleges. Hanley, on the other hand, had taken time off after graduating from Assumption College, a smaller institution in his native Worcester, and had been doing construction work for the past year.
"I remember sitting there, thinking 'Well, I've been out a year, I've forgotten everything I know, I don't know how to study anymore,'" he said. "I was thinking 'I don't belong here.'"
The fact that James Hanley would ever feel like he didn't belong at Tufts University is laughable now. Dr. James Hanley has been with TUSDM almost continuously since that first day in 1972 – as a student, postdoctoral resident, faculty member and administrator. Much of his life has been spent in this building – he even met his wife, Marian, who was a student at the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene, during his second year of dental school here. His work here will come to its conclusion at the end of March, when he leaves Tufts to accept a position as Dean of the University of New England's (UNE) College of Dental Medicine in Portland, Maine.
"Dr. James Hanley's career has been inextricably linked to Tufts University School of Dental Medicine since 1972," Dean Huw Thomas said. "We deeply appreciate his service to our School and his many contributions to our educational programs and clinical operations."
Dr. Hanley graduated from the first three-year DMD program at Tufts in 1975 and returned to complete a residency in Periodontology in 1979. He worked as a volunteer faculty member at Tufts until 1986, then returned in 1993 and became a half-time faculty member that September. He was appointed as a full-time faculty member in 2000, and will leave Tufts as an Associate Professor. Though he also maintained a private practice in Concord, Mass. until 2006, he said his joy in working with students is what kept him interested in faculty roles.
"Being with young people is the lifeblood," he said. "They keep you on your toes. And the wonderful thing about being in the learning environment is you're learning more than you're giving in some ways."
Dr. Hanley has also been an asset as an administrator in several roles for the school, most recently serving as Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs. During his first administrative role as Director of Periodontal Clinic Administration, he was asked by the then Executive Associate Dean Patricia Campbell to join the implementation team for Axium in 2003.The project, which took over a year and a half to complete, was tremendous challenge, and one of the things TUSDM staff and faculty remember him for.
"Working on the Axium project might be my favorite memory of him," said Maureen Lombard, former Director of Clinical Affairs. "He would work hard to contribute to the development of the system content but he also helped lighten up times when the group was getting weary of all the hours and tasks."
Campbell, who is now Tufts Executive Vice President, said Dr. Hanley has been a stalwart supporter of technology enhancement at the school, and added that his extensive experience and rapport with colleagues makes him an incredible asset.
"Dr. Hanley is incredibly engaged with people," said Patricia Campbell. "He loves to be part of a team, and he brings energy and ideas to whatever group he works with. He's been a real gift to the school."
When asked about his accomplishments, Dr. Hanley doesn't mention a project but more of an overall sense- a sense of having served the people he works with and for.
"The greatest achievement is to think that you had some positive influence on of the faculty, staff and students over the years that you've interacted with. To think that you have a small piece of their success," he said. "In private practice, you have one patient at a time, and that's tremendously rewarding, but to think you can have some influence on the wider populace is very special."
Now Dr. Hanley will be teaching and shaping his colleagues and students in Maine. He joins several other Tufts faculty who went on to become deans at other dental schools, including former TUSDM Professor and Dean Howard Mitchell Marjerison, who became Dean of the University of Illinois College of Dentistry in 1940, and former Dean Joseph Volker, who founded the University of Alabama School of Dentistry in 1949. UNE's dental program is very new; it's very first dental class just started in September, and Dr. Hanley said he is looking forward to a new adventure and establishing the culture of professionalism and practice at UNE. He's even found a place in Portland where he can row, a longtime passion of his. But he adds that it will be difficult to leave his comfort zone at TUSDM, his home for so many years.
"I didn't go into dentistry thinking that I would end up where I ended up," he said. "I didn't have any grand plan. As opportunities came along I looked at them, and took a risk at some point to pursue them. Tufts allowed me to grow, and develop the new skills and learn. There was always opportunity here to grow professionally. And all the foundation I have, was provided to me by Tufts."

In her novels Sula (1973) and Paradise (1997) Toni Morrison considers the impact of patrilineage on two homoracial communities. Through a consideration of the subjugation and the alienation of women in these works, a shifting focus in Morrison's writing becomes evident: a repositioning of race from subject to critical lens.

A local teenager will take part in a charity sky dive on his birthday this week, in memory of his mother, who lost her brave battle against cancer last year.
Mother-of –three Amanda Rogers, of Penparc, sparked a massive response from the local community, who rallied to raise £18,000 for specialist chemotherapy treatment.
Thanks to their efforts, funding was in place in less than three months, enabling Amanda to start treatment at Prince Phillip Hospital, but she sadly died, aged 41, in January 2013, after a long battle against the disease.
Her son Ben plans to raise funds for Cardigan Cancer Care in her memory, and will take on the challenge of the tandem skydive on his 16th birthday on March 2, arranged by his girlfriend Jess.
More than £1,000 has been raised so far, and anyone wanting to donate can contact Jess by calling
01239 682138.

A BOURNEMOUTH company has been named Britain's best online healthcare provider.
Health-on-Line won the title at the Your Money Awards, held at the Merchant Taylors' Hall in London. The new category in the awards was based on services provided on the internet and the subsequent contact with staff.
Winners are also judged to have offered the most competitively priced products over the previous 12 months.
Fiona Carter, brand and marketing manager for Health-on-Line, said: "At Health-on-Line we continually strive to be competitive for our customers, both in the products and prices that we offer, as well as the technical capabilities that are available to our consumers. This award reflects not only the excellent level of customer care offered when liaising with customers over the phone, but additionally those who purchase online."
The awards covered all areas of finance, from health insurance to mortgages, and saw national names such as Tesco, John Lewis and Nationwide receive awards.
Health-on-Line will be sponsoring the next Daily Echo Jobsfair, on October 2, 10.30am-5pm, at the Premier Inn on Bournemouth's Westover Road.

When I got this single as a gift from a friend, I noticed how it had only one song on it. I don't like singles with only one song on it, because there's really no purpose in buying a single when you can get the entire album with the same song plus a bunch of other ones. Anybody who would buy this, even if they like the music, is either really stupid or the band's greatest fan. This is my first complaint. I figured that since this is the only song on the disc it must be a really good song. Also, since it's of the first album that Vinnie Paul played on since Dimebag's death, it gave me more reason to believe this would be awesome. Before actually listening to it, I looked up some more information about the band (because I didn't really knew much about it). Turns out that Chad Gray from Mudvayne did the vocals. I have heard that band before and I can safely say that this guy has one of the most annoying voices to ever reach my ears. On guitar, another Mudvayne member. I don't like them, and I wondered why an awesome drummer like Vinnie would want to make music with a band like Mudvayne. I'm still wondering why …
The song starts of with Gray's annoying voice, and a slow guitar riff in the background. The purpose of the intro is not clear to me, but maybe they wanted to scare away all metal fans by putting 25 seconds of "stay away" in the beginning of the song. Is this the first thing that Paul wanted to let his fans hear after years of absence? I can't believe it. After this, a simple, "heavy" guitar riff kicks in while Gray demonstrates how much he sucks as singing. I think he tried to do some sort of scream, but if this is his idea of screaming than he probably needs to get his mental health checked. I'm waiting until he finally stops making noise until Paul starts doing a kick ass drum solo to demonstrate he still has the skills. This doesn't occur, and in stead, the listener has to endure more than 200 seconds of Gray's crappy vocals. During this time, only a couple of different guitar riffs are audible. If you thought that the instrumental part would make up for Chad's incapability, you were wrong. The riffs are ridiculously simple. Thank god that there are also drums playing, to indicate that Paul is in fact still alive. The problem is that in stead of an awesome drum beat, it's just basic, simple stuff. I'm not going to say that I could play it, but you get the point. Next thing to focus on was the bass. But where is the bass? After distinguishing the bass line, I discover it's just a copy of the rhythm guitar part. Crap. There's not a single instrument worth listening to in this song. I'm getting really desperate. Just when I start to think it can't get any worse, there's a solo. Thank god, at least somebody decided to save this song from absolute failure.
Too bad the solo is worth nothing. It's easy as hell and I'm sure Dimebag would roll in his grave if he heard what replacement Paul had chosen for his lead guitar work. Even if it's a horrible solo, at least there is a solo. This is the coolest part of the song because it's the only part where Chad finally shuts the hell up. Then again, complete silence is more fun to listen to than Chad Gray. Then he starts singing again. Holy son of god, the annoying intro from the beginning starts playing again. Somebody stop this bullshit. Thank god the song ends soon after, because I was about to murder my cd player.
I can't believe I listened to the entire song. After hearing it, I feel like murdering all members of Mudvayne. Is there even a positive side about this project? What the hell happened to Paul? Why? WHY?
Well … I wouldn't know …
This song receives 1/100, and only because there's half a minute where Chad Gray shuts up. I praise the lord for that part, even though the alternative is a crappy solo.

The McCurtain County father and daughter missing since Sunday have been found.
Sheriff Johnny Tadlock says 43-year-old Albert Pieratt and his 9-year-old daughter McKayla showed up at a neighbor's home in Lukfata around 8 Thursday morning.
That's after apparently spending a few days outdoors. Both have been checked out by medics and are said to be doing fine, physically. Albert Pieratt has been placed in an emergency order of detention and a mental evaluation has been ordered. McKayla has been taken into protective custody. Friends tell KSLA News 12 her mother died some time ago.
Family members grew concerned and reported the father and daughter missing on Tuesday, after not hearing from them or being able to get in touch with them for more than 2 days.
McCurtain County Sheriff Johnny Tadlock says there were no signs of forced entry at their Choctaw Street home in Lukfata, a rural community about 3 miles west of Broken Bow, but Pieratt's truck had been left behind.
That prompted a search, focusing Wednesday on the woods around Lukfata Elementary School, where McKayla attends.
Sheriff Tadlock says no charges are expected at this time. When the investigation is complete, the case will be turned over to the district attorney's office.
Tadlock says he's just glad they've both been found and are physically healthy. He also thanked KSLA News 12 for helping to get the word out, saying it generated numerous tips.

Are you really sure that increasing the DHCP lease time will make the
problem go away altogether and not just increase the time it takes for
it to pop up? I've been running DHCP on my m0n0walls for months and
never had any dropouts (with different kinds of equipment, Macintoshes,

Will Pope Francis' new money lord make any difference? Australian Cardinal George Pell, 72, who moves to Rome next month to head a new Vatican office, is not known as a financial expert. Australian sex-abuse critics call his appointment a golden parachute, one that may touch down in a palatial suite in the AUS$30 million "Domus Australia" guesthouse Pell dedicated in 2011.
Of course Francis is trying to do the right thing. Religion and money are never a good mix, and a long history of scandals only complicates the task of getting the Vatican bureaucracy in order. As Cardinal Prefect of the new dicastery, the Secretariat for the Economy, Pell reports directly to the pope. He also reports to the new Council for the Economy, eight cardinals and seven lay experts projected to analyze internal controls, transparency, and governance. In addition, there will be an Auditor-General empowered to check the books of any Holy See component.
Pell's mandate appears to be oversight of any money the Vatican touches, particularly that in the Administration of the Patrimony for the Holy See (APSA), which manages Vatican-owned money and property, and the Institute for Religious Works (IOR), also known as the Vatican Bank, which manages between 6 to 7 billion Euro* in cash and securities owned by various clergy, religious orders, dioceses and church-affiliated persons and institutions.
Both are ripe fields for fraud, waste and abuse. The lack of transparency at the Vatican Bank, which has 19,000 clients worldwide and does a quarter of its business in cash, has long been cause for scandal. No one knows where it invests its funds. In 1982, the head of the collapsed Banco Amrosiano, Roberto Calvi, was found hanged in London. The Vatican Bank owned controlling shares of Banco Ambrosiano. More recently, Italian police arrested Msgr. Nunzio Scarano, former head of accounting at APSA, on suspicion of using the Vatican Bank to move money for "others." He was also accused of trying to smuggle $20 million Euro by private plane from Switzerland.
Moving money secretly is a time-honored sport, usually played on the fields of Switzerland, Lichtenstein, the Cayman Islands and the Isle of Mann. The combined forces of the world banking community have rumpled those fields — no more numbered Swiss bank accounts, for example — and computerization of accounts creates easier tracking methods than paper deposit slips.
But money is still as slippery as ever. A good accountant can hide — or steal — about 10 percent or anything. And, if truth be told, there are lots of folks who touch church money and just can't let go of it. I am reminded of a telephone call from the president of a parish council: "Is the pastor allowed to take $250 a week out of the collection before it is counted?" Then there was the pastor who exposed an employee scheme to purchase fine art with church funds. He fired the employee, and kept the art. Or, the storehouse of rice and beans meant for the poor found to be a Potemkin village. Church employees had sold most of the donated goods and pocketed the money. These genuinely heartbreaking stories multiply over the years and around the world. Temptation comes in many forms, but one size fits all.
On the larger scale — it has 33,000 accounts — the Vatican Bank says it is certain it is not money laundering for terrorists. It is probably not, but there could be lots of secrets in its sovereign accounts. And intrigue remains in long memories at the Vatican. In one year, as head of Vatican City State, Archbishop Carlo Viganò turned a $10 million deficit into a $44 million surplus — and got fired. He complained to the pope: "Blessed Father, my transfer in this moment would provoke confusion and discouragement for those who thought it was possible to clean up so many situations of corruption and abuse of office."
Viganò is a civil and canon lawyer. Whether Pell, a historian of early Christianity ordained as bishop in 1987 is up to the job remains to be seen. He is a former football player and son of a heavyweight boxing champion, so his imposing stature may help. He has been photographed in a cappa magna, but his new fashion statement seems to be a pewter pectoral cross. Even so, unlike new Nicaraguan Cardinal Leopoldo José Brenes when he traveled to the consistory, he is not likely to board his flight to Rome wearing blue jeans.

When my family took a vacation to Europe, it was in summer. It was summer again three years later when I returned for a Eurail-powered backpacking trip.
I know I'm not alone in equating European travel with the June-August high season. Guaranteed a good chunk of the 460 million international visitors in 2009 landed in summer.
This, to me, is the best reason to break out and choose winter.
A natural consequence of reason 1, and it applies to everything from the airfare over to hotels and rail tickets on the ground (though probably not around Christmas/New Year).
According to Rick Steves, discounts are largest in small towns and areas highly dependent on tourism (assuming they haven't shut down completely). Metropolises with healthy commercial centers don't have to try as hard to attract clientele.
Check out the post 5 travel deals for Fall and Winter travel to Europe for some ideas on how to save.
Last year we published a piece on Where to Find the Best Christmas Markets in Europe. These street markets are set up all over the continent during December in a tradition that goes back to the 1400s, and they're well known among local and regional tourists.
Other annual events held in the cold include Carnival (late February), the Dublin International Film Festival (late February), and the Kiruna Snow Festival (late January).
Snowflakes falling in front of a back-lit Eiffel Tower. Icicles hanging from the eaves of a Bavarian B&B. The muffled crunch of tires on snowed-over roads in central Oslo or Warsaw or Amsterdam.
Being from south Texas, I appreciate the magic a real winter has in it. I'd love to see Europe through that lens.
Several of our Top 10 International Ski Mountains to Hit in 2010 were in Europe.
The continent gave names to both alpine and nordic ski disciplines. Snowboarding is less popular than in the States but well established (my brother-in-law is riding Saint Sorlin D'Arves as I write this).
Then there's snowkiting, snowshoeing, ice fishing, extreme sledding, and ice racing.
Check out Ski Europe for mountain package deals.
Europe is rich in "indoor culture" (museums, art galleries, palaces, cathedrals). These heated, well-lit spaces are pretty appealing when the sun sets at 3 and temperatures hover around freezing (though hours may be curtailed off-season). Theaters and concert halls tend to put on more performances during winter as well.
Or, if the day is particularly nasty, spend it guilt free in the pub, such as those Matador Nights has profiled in Stockholm, Hamburg, and Reykjavik.
Darker days mean more opportunities to see the Northern Lights. You'll need to be in northern Scandinavia to have a fair shot, though Scotland gets hit with relative frequency too.
Check out The Northern Lights: Best Places to See Them in Europe, Canada & Alaska for more info.
For destinations like the Canary Islands, Crete, Cyprus, Sicily, and the southern regions of Italy, France, Spain, and Greece, winter can be the best time to visit weather-wise.
For example, Athens sees 50- and 60-degree days Dec-Feb, whereas summer easily pushes over 100. Maybe a little chilly for a swim, but there's no worry of heatstroke at the Acropolis.
Every winter in northern Scandinavia, a handful of tourist accommodations are built up from the ice. Everything from buildings to beds to shot glasses are carefully carved from the frozen blocks.
The result is something unique, and you can see shots in Igloos, Castles, Sewage Pipes, and Survival Pods: The World's 9 Weirdest Hotels.
Matador Goods editor Lola Akinmade shares what she knows about ice hotels in Discovering the Real Scandinavia Off-Season.
The realities of life during northern-latitude winters have spawned a number of traditional cold-weather dishes throughout Europe.
In Switzerland and parts of France, there's raclette and fondue, both of which are based around warmed cheese. Germans like to break out the venison when it gets cold, and roasted chestnuts are a vendor staple at Christmas markets.
Mulled wine is a traditional hot drink in many countries and is served in these London bars.
Tell us what reasons YOU've found for traveling Europe off-season.

Alot has changed militarily and economically in Australia's strategic outlook since the 2009 defence white paper, but bringing forward a new one, as the government is doing, does not make much sense unless you have the credibility to implement it. With changing defence ministers, lax fiscal control and some lack of clarity about regional foreign policy – not to mention a parlous electoral situation – the government is not in a strong position to be designing a new long-term defence policy.
After the problems in delivering other projects on time and budget, Prime Minister
The strong dollar means the vessels will be cheaper to buy offshore. Local construction would just add to the mining boom's labour shortages and further threaten projects such as Olympic Dam, on which South Australia should stake its future.
Productivity Commission chairman
Nevertheless, the principal part of yesterday's $1.6 billion saving over four years – the delay in the purchase of Joint Strike Fighters – is a reasonable step since these planes are facing their own questions in the United States.
The good news out of the pre-budget defence positioning yesterday is that the force posture review provides some practical advice about not spending excessively on new bases as part of the necessary refocusing of defence on the resource-rich north-west, and for better co-operation with industry and state governments.
It also makes the point that, at a time of concern about inadequate defence capacity, that threats to northern resource wealth, engagement with customers through global markets, and foreign investment should reduce the prospect of resource conflict.
The government is getting advice on the changing region from its Asia white paper and now has the considered posture review on hand. So while a new agreed strategic outlook paper would be useful, the government might be better off fixing already identified problems rather than allowing them to be papered over by waiting around for a new white paper.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stock futures sank Thursday with the latest economic data pointing to a steady yet slow improvement in the job market.
Dow Jones industrial futures fell 43 points to 13,041. The broader S&P futures gave up 5.5 points to 1,401.70 and Nasdaq futures lost 10 points to 2,771.25.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits was unchanged last week at a seasonally adjusted 374,000, according to the Labor Department. The four-week moving average, a less volatile measure, increased to 370,250.
When such applications fall consistently below 375,000, it suggests that hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate, which is hovering at an uncomfortable rate of 8.3 percent.
Unemployment applications have risen slightly over the past three weeks. Last week's number was revised upward to 374,000 from the 372,000 that was reported initially.
Also on Thursday, retailers are posting some strong sales numbers for August.
Target, Costco Wholesale Corp. and Limited Brands Inc. all beat Wall Street expectations for the month.
Target Corp. posted a 4.2 percent increase in revenue at stores open at least a year in as families began their back-to-school shopping.
Such comparable store sales are watched closely because they exclude the volatility of stores recently opened or closed, giving a better picture of the retail environment.
And consumer spending is a huge part of the economy, make up for around 70 percent of economic activity.
Later Thursday, the government is expected to report that consumer spending rose in July.
Traders and investors are also awaiting Friday's remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke who will speak at the central bank's annual meeting in Wyoming.
The government on Friday also reports on consumer sentiment and factory orders.
Last month, the Commerce Department reported a decline in orders sent to U.S. factories, a worrisome development on the jobs front and for the industrial sector.

Greater Wellington to pursue purchase of more Matangi
27 September 2012
Greater Wellington to pursue purchase of more Matangi
Greater Wellington Regional Council will pursue buying more Matangi trains to replace the ageing Ganz Mavag fleet.
The Council yesterday confirmed a decision to authorise Council officers to negotiate a purchase of 35 more Matangi trains.
All 48 trains that were ordered a few years ago are now in Wellington and all will be in service soon.
Peter Glensor, Chair of Greater Wellington's Economic Wellbeing Committee which is responsible for public transport, says the opportunity to buy more of the new trains arose when the Council received a very reasonable offer from the Matangi supplier, Hyundai Rotem.
"The financial evaluations and economic modelling we have done as part of our due diligence so far show that it is a no-brainer to pursue this option.
"And the overwhelming majority of people who responded to an online survey on the proposal agreed."
Only two responses out of the 150 received were not in favour of buying more Matangi. A selection of comments from the survey follows this release.
Cr Glensor says buying more Matangi trains offers a rare opportunity to completely renew an entire fleet in one extended procurement process.
"A single electric train fleet has enormous advantages. It means that all of Wellington's metropolitan trains would be modern, efficient, fully accessible, air-conditioned and reliable. Along with the competitive price on offer, an important issue is the performance and high quality passenger experience of the Matangi fleet, and the improving levels of punctuality.
"Having a single fleet also makes good economic sense: driver training is simpler; no heavy maintenance would be needed in the short term; warranties would be extended; spare parts and inventory holdings would be reduced; and we would not need to undertake further major rolling stock procurement for at least 30 years.
"If the negotiations are successful, and we've every reason to believe they will be, the next batch of Matangi should begin arriving in Wellington in the middle of 2014 and the entire fleet could be in service by mid 2016."
For more information,
Peter Glensor, Chair Economic Wellbeing Committee
Excerpts from the responses to Greater Wellington's online survey asking people what they think of the proposal to buy more Matangi trains.
The survey was carried out between 23 August and 14 September 2012.
Its a no brainer, buy more
Matangi's . Upgrading the Ganz just does not make sense the
Matangis are an excellent train.
Great idea - trying to fix old trains will have greater risk and still not provide for growth in the future.
I think it is good. I LOVE the matangi. Get rid of the Ganz
I support this proposal. Good to have single EMU fleet esp. since Ganz are unreliable. Also better for operational reasons and passenger experience.
I agree with the proposal, as the synergies and whole-of-life cost savings as reported exceed that of refurbishing the old fleet. Also, the quality of service provided by the new Matangi trains exceed the refurbished old trains (I have travelled in both the Matangi and refurbished unit at various points in the last few months).
This is a fantastic opportunity for the Wellington region. As outlined, the benefits of operating a unified fleet will be high, and given that the first Matangi went into service almost two years(?) ago, a decision to purchase more of the same is relatively low-risk. The projected savings over replacing the old fleet after their lives further strengthens the case for an all-Matangi fleet. I have one question - what will happen to the excess 9 Matangi units, as it appears to be a high number for contingency.
Sensible decision - financially and also from having a modern fleet which is comfortable and great to travel in
This is a logical proposal that appears to save significant money while improving the quality of the suburban fleet. I support the proposal.
Having one type of train fleet will improve the overall quality of public transport in Wellington as well as being cost effective. This is a no brainer. New Matangi look modern and are great to travel in. Finally we have the making of a world class public transport system appropriate for NZ's capital city.
Great idea, the sooner the better. The Matangi trains are so much better to ride in. I try to avoid catching a service that is using the old Ganz Mavag units.

Even without the Packers, it was a Super show

It normally takes me a day or two to reflect on the full impact that the long, long, long Super Bowl day has for me. I'm done reflecting, and here's what I found. Dancing with the Stars can't be far behind for Aaron Rodgers.

Despite three campaign appearances by President Obama, Governor John Corzine lost his gubernatorial seat in New Jersey to GOP challenger Chris Christie last night. Exit polls showed that the top two concerns for New Jersey voters were the economy and the state's high property taxes.
How high are those property taxes? For the year 2008, New Jersey holds the distinction of the state with both the highest property taxes per capita and the worst business tax climate in the nation, according to the Tax Foundation (note: report will download as a pdf). New Jersey residents also ranked highest in the nation last year with respect to state and local taxes as a percentage of income. New Jersey taxpayers paid a whopping 11.8% of income in state and local taxes, more than 2% above the national average.
Of course, this is nothing new for New Jersey. Residents have generally put up with higher taxes because of what they thought it bought them: some of the best schools in the country, for example. But in the midst of a bad economy, that has changed. New Jersey residents increasingly believe that higher taxes buy them very little (ask Robert Flach) except possibly more corruption.
Governor (for now) John Corzine became the first New Jersey governor to lose a re-election bid since 1993, when then Governor Jim Florio lost to an up and coming GOP challenger Christie Todd Whitman. Whitman, who made cutting taxes a priority in her campaign, later bit at an offer by President Bush clearly intended to knock her out of the public eye and into obscurity.
So what does that mean for New Jersey residents? Luckily for them, they can only go down from here.Want more taxgirl goodness? Pick your poison: You can receive posts by email, follow me on twitter (@taxgirl) hang out with me on Facebook and check out my YouTube channel.
