Donya resides in Indianapolis, Indiana, with her husband and a small zoo of cats and dogs. In fact, her writing buddy, Lucky, might become more famous than she is, based on the feedback the ever-present feline receives on her Facebook page.
As a little girl, Donya always had a book in her hand. As she got older, the books became pens and notebooks, which she filled with stories and poetry. For as long as she remembers, she has been writing and dreaming up stories. Seems writing was her destiny.
Donya loves music and often finds inspiration for her stories in the wide range of music she listens to. Nothing like a little Korn to propel the angst in a scene, or Enya to evoke softer and more romantic storylines.
She has several projects planned and in progreass, including eight more novels in the All the King's Men series and several short stories and novellas. She would love to share her journey with you.

ARVO is the name of the research organization (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology) which tends to do the most theoretical and basic science work in my field. So I was interested to read in Review of Ophthalmology about some interesting studies that were presented at that meeting regarding LASIK flaps.
A very interesting study out of New York City compared LASIK performed with the bladeless Intralase method to LASIK performed the older way using one of the most common bladed microkeratomes (Moria). The researchers performed 1000 consecutive cases of both bladeless and bladed LASIK and they found that use of the bladeless Intralase method significantly reduced their complication rate.
Bladeless versus bladed LASIK
In the bladeless Intralase group there were only 3 complications out of 1000 cases that occurred during the surgery itself. And 2 of those complications were able to be handled intraoperatively allowing the case to proceed normally.
In the bladed microkeratome group, however, there were 2x as many intraoperative complications (6 out of 1000). Worse yet, NONE of those 6 cases could be handled intraoperatively and the cases had to be aborted.
These numbers correspond to my general sense of the quality of the old style bladed microkeratomes. Although surgeons using these bladed instruments feel confident telling their patients that complications only occur less than 1% of the time, in reality, this can mean somewhere around 1 eye out of every 300 or so. And the type of complications generated by the bladed instruments was shown to be more severe in that they could not be handled at the time but required that the surgery be stopped.
But there's more. The incidence of POST-operative flap related problems was even greater with the bladed microkeratomes compared to the blade free Intralase.
Complications from bladed LASIK could be serious
Using the bladeless Intralase, there were 2 cases of epithelial abrasions (superficial scratch on the eye surface) and 1 case of a flap buttonhole (central defect in the flap itself). The bladed microkeratome had 65 cases of epithelial abrasions.
That is not really surprising because the microkeratome requires that a physical blade vibrates back and forth over the surface of the eye so the tendency to scrape the surface is much greater. The microkeratome had 3x as many buttonholes too.
In addition, there were a large number of potentially significant postoperative flap problems that were not seen at all in the Intralase cases. These included 6 cases of flap striae which can indicate slippage or misplacement of the flap itself and might require adjustment. There were 22 cases of epithelial downgrowth which means the outer epithelium of the eye was carried under the flap by the vibrating blade where it is not supposed to be.
If this epithelial downgrowth grows, it can cause significant problems. The researchers also reported 12 cases of DLK (diffuse lamellar keratitis) in the bladed microkeratome group.
DLK is a significant inflammatory problem which can potentially cause damage to the cornea itself. In this case, it is probably a good assumption that physical contaminants which are transmitted by the blade itself (oils or metal fragments) are the culprit causing the inflammatory DLK condition. Using a laser beam which has no true physical presence is clearly superior to a blade in the sense that it is much gentler to the cornea and does not introduce foreign material as it works.
This ARVO study is just another example of high end research confirming the fact that the iLASIK and Intralase tools that we use are superior and safer than the old style microkeratomes still being used by so many other surgeons. A wise and educated patient should pay attention to this information.
In my mind, the era of bladed microkeratomes is long past and patients should only consider having LASIK by surgeons using the current bladeless Intralase technology.

BLAKELY -- Danielle James wiped her brow and returned to shaking powdery brown dirt through a screen. Stopping occasionally, she pawed through clumps that were too large to pass through, searching for artifacts from an ancient civilization that built ceremonial mounds and made human sacrifices in southwestern Georgia.
''I have lost 12 pounds,'' she said, as the sun beat down. ''You get sweaty, but it's worth it.''
The Marietta woman is one of eight University of Georgia anthropology students who sifted through tons of dirt for six weeks this summer at Kolomoki Mounds State Historic Park to unearth bones, jewelry and pottery shards that could shed light on the people who lived in the area about 1,500 years ago.
Anthropologists consider the Kolomoki Mounds, about 90 miles south of Columbus, to be one of the most significant sites in eastern North America, University of Alabama anthropologist Jim Knight said.
The early inhabitants built a ceremonial plaza and seven mounds, including two burial mounds and a temple mound that was a religious center. archaeologists believe one of the burial mounds was built to bury a leader along with sacrificial servants, slaves and wives.
The temple mound rises 56 feet above the surrounding pine forest from a base the size of a football field and probably had a temple platform at the top.
''There are lots of much smaller centers here and there, but Kolomoki is a whopper,'' said Knight, an expert on the American Indians that built the 26 prehistoric mounds in Moundville, Ala. ''People tend to take these things for granted. They don't seem to understand that we had a world-famous civilization that rose and fell right in our backyard. Europeans know about it. You pick up a world textbook on archaeology and Kolomoki is there.''
Led by graduate student Tom Pluckhahn, the students spent their mornings digging with trowels and soup ladles in precisely dug pits.
While some dug, others sifted.
''It's hot, sweaty, sticky and dirty,'' said Susannah Lee of Dublin. ''You get dirt down your pants and in your shoes.''
For their final week, which ended Friday, Pluckhahn allowed amateur archaeologists to assist. People came from Marietta, Lakeland, Albany and lots of other towns to take part in the grimy work.
Nurse Rhonda Garrett, who usually works in the clean, air-conditioned emergency room of the Lakeland hospital, made the trip on her day off.
''You might find something that hasn't been seen for 10,000 years,'' said Garrett, who has been interested in archaeology since she was a child.
Some of the students dug near the park's museum, which is built over a burial mound that contained four skeletons, plus 54 pieces of pottery to accompany them into the hereafter.
Pluckhahn and the others excavated a site southeast of the Temple Mound that he believes was a house and later a trash pit. The group found pottery, stone tools, animal bones and pieces of mica the Indians used to make jewelry.
''Based on the pottery in this house, I'd say it dates from 350 to 450,'' he said.
Pluckhahn has been bringing students to Kolomoki for three years. Before starting the project, he dug 1,300 to 1,400 small holes to determine the best sites for digging.
Kolomoki was extensively excavated during the 1940s and '50s, but Pluckhahn believes there is much more to be learned.
The original inhabitants lived there during the Woodland period, which ran from about 1,000 B.C. to 1000 A.D., he said. The Woodland period, characterized by crop cultivation and seed and nut gathering, set the stage for more intensive farming during the Mississippian period, from about 1000 to 1700. Mound building occurred in both periods.
After reaching its cultural peak during the Woodland period, Kolomoki declined but continued as an American Indian settlement during the Mississippian period, Pluckhahn said.
''For its time period, Kolomoki is one of the biggest sites north of Mexico,'' he said. ''It was an important gathering place for ceremonies. Why, we don't know.''
Pluckhahn believes Kolomoki had about 500 full-time residents clustered around the temple mound, with another 1,500 coming in for ceremonies in the plaza.
''I'm focusing more on how the average people lived,'' said Pluckhahn, who plans to write his doctoral thesis and a book on Kolomoki. ''This is a site that could be a long-term research project.''

SOUTH BRUNSWICK — A 19-year-old woman and her father have been indicted in an April hit-and-run at the high school that left a 14-year-old girl with a broken clavicle and a severe concussion, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
Shivangi Patel has been formally charged with leaving the scene of an accident with serious bodily injury and endangering an injured victim — both 3rd-degree crimes — and assault by auto, a 4th-degree crime, according to the indictment handed up by a grand jury on Aug. 21. Rajesh Patel, her father, has been accused of hindering the apprehension of his daughter, a 4th-degree crime.
Shivangi Patel, a Rutgers student, allegedly struck the teenager in the crosswalk in front of the school the morning of April 13, police have said. The 14-year-old girl's head hit the windshield, authorities said at the time. After hitting the girl, she allegedly drove home, where she left the car and her father drove her back to the high school, where she was observing classes, police had added.
The police have also said that Rajesh Patel tried to hide his daughter's car in the family driveway following the accident.
In response to the hit-and-run, the school district has made changes to the traffic pattern around the school to make the area safer for pedestrians this September, school officials say.
An extra through-lane, a new safe zone crosswalk for students getting dropped off, and speed humps along the route will slow traffic and make sure that pedestrians and drivers move through the area safely, said Peter Varela, the school's interim principal.
"This pattern has everyone focused on safety," said Varela. "We said we have to make a change."
Varela said the changes will improve pedestrian safety, and were made with the accident in mind.
"That's one of the reasons we're looking to slow drivers down," he said.

The guided tour of the National Museum took all of 90 minutes and did not do justice to Malaysia's rich cultural and archaeological history.
It has the trappings of mystery, intrigue and curiosity – elements that would make any self-respecting sleuth hanker for more. The decades-old National Museum, a Kuala Lumpur landmark, is shrouded in tales of an underground lair filled with priceless artefacts and historic curios.
What's even better is the hushed whispers of those in the know about the repository, which is deliciously rumoured to be haunted with ghostly sightings as witnessed by several museum employees.
But for Kamarul Baharin Kasim, the museum's director, 'rumoured sightings' are as mysterious as things get. For one thing he affirmed that there's no such thing as hidden vault. But there are however, several storage units around the country that are fast being filled up with more artefacts.
To the question of having accessibility to these storage warehouses, Kamarul said that getting into one of these requires special security clearance and that even he sometimes isn't made privy to its contents.
"What you see at the main exhibit area is the Permanent Gallery which is split into four areas, namely the Prehistory Gallery and the Malay Kingdoms Gallery on the first floor, the Colonial Era Gallery and Malaysia Today Gallery on the second.
"What you see is probably 30 per cent of what is owned by the National Museum and the other 70 per cent is kept aside for research and documentation or categorised for special exhibits," he explained.
Apart from the 415,081 artefacts showcased on a daily basis, there are 322,631 archaeological remnants, 64,344 animal and plant specimens and 28,106 ethnological objects under the care of the national museum.
While this may sound terribly thorough and well thought out, detailed even, it seems something of a puzzle as to why the main area of the National Museum, while beautiful, seems vacant.
This writer and a friend went on a guided tour of the museum and the entire walk-around even with staggered stops, took no more than an hour and half. For all the millions (RM20 million to be exact) spent on refurbishing the museum, it still seems devoid of so many corner stones that make up Malaysian culture and history.
Federal Cabinet interference
The findings at Lembah Bujang is just one example. A Wikipedia entry states that the Bujang Valley or Lembah Bujang is a sprawling historical complex and has an area of approximately 224 square km.
Situated near Merbok, Kedah, between Gunung Jerai in the north and Muda River in the south, it is the richest archaeological area in Malaysia. These archaeological remains show that there was a
Hindu-Buddhist polity here. The name itself is roughly translated into "Dragon Valley".
The area consists of ruins that may date more than 2,000 years old. More than 50 ancient tomb temples, called candi, have also been unearthed. Bujang Valley also has a clay brick monument dating back to 110AD, making it the oldest man-made structure to be recorded in Southeast Asia.
A visit to the National Museum however, begrudges the visitor of a satisfying range of these items. Should you want to see more of it, The Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum might be a more satisfactory option.
There are some who are convinced that cultural and religious biasness is the reason why more of these artefacts aren't on display at the National Museum.
In response to this suspicion, Kamarul firmly stated that there is absolutely no truth in this.
"The public would always have questions about what we exhibit and what we don't. What they don't understand is that there is a lack of space in the museum and we have to carefully select what we display by way of rotation. It's not just the public we have to contend with, but also the (federal) Cabinet.
"Sometime in 2002, we had this Ghost-themed exhibition. But the (federal) Cabinet frowned upon it saying that we were trying to highlight something superstitious. So whom do we please?
"We are often caught in the middle and you can't please everyone. But we have a suggestion box and the feedback forms we receive are collected on a daily basis," he added.
When asked why isn't there any information on Yap Ah Loy who is regarded by many as the founding father of modern Kuala Lumpur, Kamarul proffered: "Maybe some people who visit the museum are prejudiced and maybe there are some others who are trying to highlight certain things just to ruffle some feathers.
"This is a National Museum and we must highlight specific things and not just focus on one item or person."
Keeping things relevant
Kamarul said that the size of the National Museum was enough for the time when it was built, in 1961. Now however, he is of the opinion that it should be at least three times bigger than it is to allow for more exhibits and a higher volume of visitors.
In 2000, the museum welcomed 556,694 local and foreign visitors. In 2009, as final stages of renovations were being carried out, the number of visitors swelled to 961,149.
When probed for an answer as to whether there are specific items that are kept from the public eye, Kamarul relented and admitted that there are several such artefacts.
He declined to elaborate further, except to add that the "the National Museum has its own justification to keep it private and confidential."
"Some of these items are unpleasant and we would rather not rub anyone the wrong way or ignite any negative feelings by exhibiting these items.
"When we tell people something like this, they call us government agents and say that we are hiding these things because of some hidden agenda. We have no agenda, hidden or otherwise.
"We are just doing our best by trying to keep things within a relevant historical and cultural purview," he said.

Long nights, niggers never gave a fuck,
Dirty ass room, no new drugs.
Niggers mad cause Ive got my way out the system,
I did probation, I did .., I did house arrest
I did 12 steps, I did drug class, I did counseling,
I did every fucking thing that the court ask me to.
I did youth court, I pay restitution,
One man with a plan, now its so polluted.
Niggers fell of; I had to bounce back,
Shit changes when the young niggers get on platinum
Used to be a robber, but the gang checked me,
Juvenile life, I .. in thirty years.
In the court room, my momma cried thirty tears.
My whole life in the hands of the fucking jury.
Juvenile felon, didnt need a weapon,
Rent to the.. so low, peoples houses.
Lord, please forgive me!
Im already cursed,
Niggers told me .. for the glamor.
Toasted in the hood, that .. shut gun on me.
Niggers had a in the scraper,
See it in the eyes, uh, you ?
Niggers.. that pistol charged, but dont wanna die,
Side gun to the chest, boys drove of!
Another day in the hood, get you broke off,
When your bitch

Tiny pants, new rug, but Im still dogging.

I wept the world, our attorneys around the way,
If you aint real, then I
You can see the picture when youre inside the frame,
And I get it off, this aint no fucking game.

I go anywhere, nigger ask my fucking name!
Nigger funny man when Im smoking and Im still shopping.

WASHINGTON — The new health-care bill was supposed to be President Barack Obama's ticket to his re-election. But, for now, those hopes have dimmed, as the White House fights to defend its controversial policy to require Catholic institutions to provide contraceptive services in their employee health plans.
Under President Obama's health-care overhaul law, most private employer health benefits will have to cover birth control, free of charge, as a preventive service for women. For much of 2011, the U.S. bishops lobbied for a broad religious exemption that would shield church-affiliated hospitals, social agencies and universities from being forced to provide health services that violated their teachings.
Instead, Kathleen Sebelius, secretary the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, approved a narrow exemption, provoking an immediate outcry from church leaders when the decision was announced on Jan.20. Now, the agency's policy has roiled Capitol Hill, as unexpectedly strong opposition from Catholics across the political spectrum has created an opening for the GOP leadership and presidential hopefuls eager to attract swing voters.
"I stand with the Catholic bishops and all religious organizations in their strenuous objection to this liberty- and conscience-stifling regulation," stated Mitt Romney in a Feb. 3 column published in the Washington Examiner.
"I am committed to overturning Obamacare root and branch. If I am elected president, on day one of my administration I will issue an executive order directing my secretary of Health and Human Services to issue a waiver from its requirements to all 50 states.
"And on day one I will eliminate the Obama administration rule that compels religious institutions to violate the tenets of their own faith. Such rules don't belong in the America that I believe in."
Romney's stance has been challenged by his closest rival, Newt Gingrich, who has argued that the former Massachusetts' governor's 2005 decision to require Catholic hospitals in the state to provide "emergency contraception" to rape victims, despite the objects of Church-affiliated hospitals, suggests that he has flip-flopped on the issue.
Romney's defenders contend that the governor only enforced that policy after state Democrats overrode his veto
But Romney is only one of several high-profile Republicans to address the issue this week. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., introduced a bill designed to repeal the HHS rule, and then House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, argued that the HHS policy violated First Amendment rights protected under the Constitution.
In a Feb. 3 statement, Speaker Boehner vowed that if the White House did not reverse the federal rule, the House would take action.
"The rule put forth by the Department of Health & Human Services must not stand. The Obama Administration must re-evaluate this decision and reverse it. If it does not, I believe the United States Congress, acting on behalf of the American people, will," said Boehner, in his second statement on the issue that week.
The previous day, during a press conference, the Speaker framed the mounting political challenge for the president and his allies.
"There is obviously a lot of opposition to … requiring religious organizations to violate their beliefs in ordering that all insurance policies provide certain contraceptive benefits. I think this mandate violates our Constitution. I think it violates the rights of these religious organizations, and I would hope that the administration would back up and take another look at this," stated Boehner.
While the White House press secretary Jay Carney has continued to insist that the policy would remain in place, groups like Democrats for Life of America, which successfully advocated for passage of the 2009 health bill, despite ongoing concerns about potential conscience violations, have stepped up the pressure.
"Forcing religious institutions to provide insurance coverage for services that are directly in opposition to their moral beliefs is very clearly wrong," said Kristen Day, the executive director of Democrats for Life of America, in a published interview. The group includes pro-life House Democrats who ultimately backed the bill.
Seeking to tamp down the uproar, which has ignited protests from evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews, Cecilia Muñoz, the director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, issued an seven-point defense of the policy on Feb 1.
"Under this policy, women who want contraception will have access to it through their insurance without paying a co-pay or deductible. But no one will be forced to buy or use contraception," said Munoz.
She insisted that "[d]rugs that cause abortion are not covered by this policy: Drugs like RU-486 are not covered by this policy, and nothing about this policy changes the president's firm commitment to maintaining strict limitations on federal funding for abortions. No federal tax dollars are used for elective abortions."
She stressed that "over half of Americans already live in the 28 states that require insurance companies cover contraception: Several of these states, like North Carolina, New York and California have identical religious employer exemptions. Some states like Colorado, Georgia and Wisconsin have no exemption at all."
Muñoz repeated statements made by other administration officials, who have noted that Catholic social agencies have received "substantial resources" in federal funds over the past three years.
"This work includes partnerships with Catholic social-service agencies on local responsible-fatherhood programs and international anti-hunger/food-assistance programs. We look forward to continuing this important work," she said in a statement that implied church-affiliated groups should be content with the trade-off.
Damage Control
UPDATE: On Feb. 3, the USCCB issued a statement that described the White House's sevenpoint response to critics as "false and misleading."
In response to Muñoz's assertion that abortion-inducing drugs are not covered, the USCCB stated: "The policy already requires coverage of Ulipristal (HRP 2000 or "Ella"), a drug that is a close analogue to RU-486 (mifepristone) and has the same effects. RU-486 itself is also being tested for possible use as an "emergency contraceptive"—and if the FDA approves it for that purpose, it will automatically be mandated as well."
Planned Parenthood also has launched an ad campaign in selected cities to defend the controversial policy.
But the belated damage control effort by the White House and its allies has yet to contain the outrage, which has begun to surface on public-radio talk shows that previously ignored or downplayed the U.S. bishops' concerns about the HHS mandate.
In a Wall Street Journal column this week, Peggy Noonan, who endorsed Obama's first presidential bid before reversing course, described the White House's divisive policy as "a battle the president can't win."
"President Obama just may have lost the election," contended Noonan, who suggested that the controversy had awoken "the sleeping giant" — those swing voters who began supporting the GOP during the Reagan presidency.
"There are 77.7 million Catholics in the United States. In 2008 they made up 27% of the electorate, about 35 million people. Mr. Obama carried the Catholic vote, 54% to 45%. They helped him win," said Noonan.
"They won't this year. And guess where a lot of Catholics live? In the battleground states."
While Romney and other GOP presidential contenders are already using the controversy to draw support for their campaigns, it's not clear what Republicans on Capitol Hill will do now. Rubio and Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., who had already introduced his own broad-based bill to bolster conscience protections under threat by the new health bill, believe that the party will rally around strong bill that defends 1st amendment rights.
In a blog post last week, National Review's Ramesh Pomeru took a look at both bills and suggest that it "might make sense to merge these bills or in some other way work out a joint strategy for advancing the cause that the senators share."
Fortenberry reports that his bill has received a jump of support since the contraception mandate surfaced, but many more co-sponsors are still needed for the bill to stand a chance in the Senate.
"My bill takes care of this by upholding the fundamental American principals of rights of conscience and religious liberty. The government should not force Americans to pay for things that violate their moral tenets," Fortenberry told the Register, noting that conscience concerns were not just an election-year issue for him.
"My bill, introduced a year and a half ago, anticipated this problem. What happened in the new health-care law was that the HHS secretary received new authority to implement preventative mandates. They have claimed that a whole host of services that were never mandated before are necessary for preventative medicine.
He added, "The president has vastly overreached, and people of good will see it as an abuse of power. If it's not an election-year issue, we're in trouble."
UPDATE: A Feb.6 USA Today editorial attacked the federal rule,stating that it "violates religious freedom."
"The administration's best option now is to reopen discussion with those affected and widen the exemption in a suitable way. The number of people affected will be relatively small — far too small to justify yet another court fight over the Affordable Care Act— and having freely chosen their employer, they'd have a dubious case for grievance against institutions that choose not to offer contraception coverage. As Sister Mary Ann Walsh of the U.S Conference of Catholic Bishops put it, "When you go to a Jewish deli, you are not expecting pork chops."
On Feb. 5, the Sunday television news shows reported that the federal rule was poised to become an election-year issue. "This is a tremendous infringement of religious liberty," Newt Gingrich said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Every time you turn around the secular government is shrinking the rights of religious institutions in America."
UPDATE: On Feb. 5, Sunday news shows reported that the contraception mandate was poised to become an election year issue. On CNN, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat, dismissed Catholic concerns as "hyperventilating," But New Gingrich and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican, attacked the federal rule.
Register senior editor Joan Frawley Desmond writes from Chevy Chase, Maryland.
This isn't the only mandate that Obama has up his sleave, the next mandate will be that women are only allowed one child, because it will reduce the population, the new czar he hired believes in that, so watch for that.Every church should be on alert. This guy has to be voted out of office.He stated that the constitution prevents him to really finsh his work. He only talks about the god given laws of the constitution, He doesn't believe in the constitution it is to strick for him. I belive he has a problem because his mother married a keyan. The father had 6 wives each had six children that is why his mother divorse him and his mother remarried again. He has a problem of hate and He would get back at society.so does his secretary of health Sheibly.
This is despicable that the federal government can mandate even the most established of institutions to violate their own tenets and beliefs. What could be the next thing, is that they will pass regulations that a Christian believer will not be allowed to bring a bible or wear a cross necklace into a federal building because it offends the unbeliever.
Whether or not tax dollars are being used to pay for abortions is irrelevant in reguards to the HHS mandate. The dollars that pay for contraception, sterilizations, early abortions involved in the Catholic Church's health plans will be coming directly from the collection plate!The Church is being forced to pay for services that are directly opposed to her teachings. The number of Catholics who have contracepted or aborted in the past is also irrelevant. It is against the teaching of the church,and anyone who does it is commiting sin. It's not subject to popularity, it's subject to Truth.
To paraphrase a popular feminist slogan, the Obama administration needs to "Keep your ovaries off our Rosaries!"
What I don't understand is learning that 28 states allready have this type of law in effect. So can somebody please list these 28 states that allow this same type of law and explain if the Catholic Church is complying with it in those states? Because if that is true how come the Church is violating their conscience with these 28 states? That is what is ticking me off as a Catholic. I live in Illinois in the diocese of Joliet and I would like to know if the Catholic parishes here are complying with an Illinois law that compels them to buy this type of insurance for their employees and staff. Also this article said that in state of Ma. there is a law that the Catholic hospitals have to provide emergency contraception for rape victims. Is that true? How come the Catholic Church is complying with that????? The more I hear about this garbage the more disgusted I get.
We are talking about your First Amendment Rights. Without the first Amendment we are no longer America.
Unfrotunately for years many of our religious have supported and backed
secular candidates to the peril of our own faithful.After spending 2 1/2
months reading this socialist legislation called Health Care it was obvious where this administration was going.Then to discover that in the Stimulus Bill was a 600 page 'Ethic's panel,i.e Death panels and the Stimulus Bill had funded this complete process.Every piece of legislation
that has been passed has 2-3-4 Bills tucked inside. The Church has better
designate religious to read all legislation and the Executive Orders.We are in a complete nighmare that only God can repair.The Church can no longer Trust our Congressman and Senators to read the Legislation and protect the American people let alone the faithful.When this president was a Senator he passed legislation in Illinois that stated, if a child lived through an abortion it was placed in a garbage can and left to die.To all the religious that voted for this unqualified president remember you have Catholic souls that you are responsibile for.
When you get life issues wrong, you get EVERYTHING wrong. This describes Obama and his administration. They are EVIL, EVIL EVIL.
I do not comprehend how anyone can vote for Obama a second time and still think he/she can stand before God and justify such cooperation with evil.
If it is true that the new Health and Human Services rules being defended by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and President Barack Obama violate the First Amendment to the Constitution, as I myself believe they do, those officials have violated their respective oaths of office to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" (Article Two, lines 407 and 408, Constitution of the United States), and there may be grounds for the impeachment of both of these officials.
The immediate question is this: Will the insurance companies obey these HHS mandates? Or will they have the courage to engage in civil disobedience and sue to preserve our liberties?
I feel like this may be a way that Obama hopes to come out looking like the savior of the Church, the "little guy", the poor, and the sick.
I think he is going to come out sometime over the summer and say that his administration needs to be reined in and that the state needs to partner with the Church. It will make him look like he is trying to control this gov't monster that is growing out of control, AND it will win back the Catholics that don't trust his administration.
I may be totally wrong, but I really feel like if he has any hope at all of being reelected, it will be because people feel they owe it to him for his magnanimity.
A LOT of Catholics got him into office, and it's going to take a lot of them to keep him there.
Either that or he really is totally politically obtuse.
I don't believe any organization whose cause célèbre is destroying unborn human life can do anything good to compensate. Nor do I think any organization or anyone that supports Planned Parenthood can avoid the moral stigma of the Culture of Death that seems to have our nation firmly in its clutches. Do you think anyone has enough money to buy their way out of the judgment supporting genocide entails?
The next presidential election will greatly affect the future course of our nation, because the voters must clearly decide whether they intend to support morality and life or obomination (sic) and death. If the current administration is reelected do you wonder what freedom will be the next part of our heritage to be replaced by a failed Socialist philosophy?
The American voters had better come out of their freedom-threatening amnesia concerning our heritage before the God our nation once trusted is forced to respond to the unheard cries of 52-million slaughtered American citizens crying to heaven for vengeance and justice. God can no longer bless America.
I hope they opt for life,
I certainly hope that the excommunicated "Catholics" that helped elect Obama will come to their moral sense and decide to get back in good graces by trying to correct their serious lapse of faith. Obama has flawed the Constitution, rejected the Declaration of Independence, encouraged abomination, denied the sanctity of marriage and human life, and now has scrapped the First Amendment. What does it take to wake up the voters? If Obama is reelected, does anyone wonder what freedom he will do away with next. Reelection could well be a last course correction toward hell and oblivion for our nation. The Culture o Life must again reign and our heritage again honored.
It is my hope that this HHS debacle does derail his re-election. This is just a small tidbit of what this president is all about. He has had four years, and has failed in his presidency on all levels. If people take seriously their freedoms and their desire to give themselves a chance at living outside of the tentacles of big government, then Mr. Obama surely needs to be elected out of office in November. If people don't want their country to go bankrupt, they need to elect him out of office in November. America deserves better. It is too great a nation to sucumb to a socialist/bordeline communist agenda. Let's strengthen the economy, create more jobs, get government out of our back pockets, and get out of this mess.
My perspective on the topic is simple. The US Catholic bishops turnde the US Catholic population around on War and weapons a while back and later on teh death penalty. The Obama ND speech was a PR disaster. Many older US Catholics have memories of bigoted anti-Catholic attitudes and actions years back; they are still aware of how it still happens on TV and radio with evengelists and letters in media. The JFK election was a water-shed and brought out the depth of the underlying ignorance even as it changed many minds. The 60s turned many away from being Catholics and Democrats, Reagan swing them back, Bush 11 turned them off with the war.IF the bishops handle this well, do not do what some of them have done, in the past, in effect,"oppose abortion = vote GOP." Dwell on the Amendment, enroll as many evangelicals and Orthodox Jews, to avoid making this a "catholic-sex" issue which it is not. That will tap into the opposition already rising against Barry O. He was too inexperienced, too young, was a Pied Piper after Bush 11, should have stepped aside for Hilary who was better qualified, not as left-leaning as he is.
Roman Catholic hospitals are staffed by persons of all faiths. What is next to be "uncovered" by Catholic hospital insurance plans????? Bishops: Address the Catholic hospital employees and let those who are not Roman Catholic follow their particular religious traditions, churches, and others teachings and admonitions. Despite what the Catholic Church believes (that Her members are unable to think or to make "right" choices)there are many who follow every mandate of the Church without question. How many of the very poor do we see who have three, four, or more children? How are they able to feed and care for them with no income and little in state and/or federal funds? If the Church would sanction birth control, abortion would not be such a huge issue. Get real and strive for holiness that comes about when all persons, situations, issues, abilities, genders, sexual orientations and other are negatively impacted.
The bottom line is that the mandate is a violation of the religious liberties of faith-based institutions. If the government can force them to pay for surgical sterilizations, the morning after pill an dbirth control, they can later force Cahtolic nurses and doctors to assist in abortions, kill the elderly and terminally ill with euthanasia, etc., etc.
For those who ignore the serious threat there because they support birth control, wake up. This is how the camel gets inside the tent: a nose under the flap.
If members of these faith-based institutions want to use
The devil is fast at work today and will take a lot of people with him. I pray that the catholic people will finally wake up and not vote for Obama. I still say some people are so democratic that if satan was on their ticket they would vote for him. Please vote for what the person stands for and not repulican or democratic. Life in the womb comes first,after all if GOD didn't want it to happen it would not be.
I signed the petition. this is a slippery slope that started with Obama appointing total anti Catholics to various positions, overriding HHS staff on the human trafficking contract and so much more. They seem to never stand for Christians in the middle east. And are saying nothing about things like Occupy Providence attacking Catholics and smashing statues of the Blessed Mother. Their masters are at the NYT which is beyond belief. I honestly am beginning to feel afraid. this cannot and will not stand.
Catholics who ignore this…sorry, American's who ignore this are misguided. Every single time we allow our standards and our rights to be eroded, we make it easier for the next time. Imagine if, in the 60s, we didn't let sangor and her pr people push us into accepting that everyone is damaged by not embracing our sexuality and accepting condom sales to become widespread for even minors. How much relaxing that one thing has taken us down this path. We cannot give even an inch more. I sat my children down and tried to make them see that our priests are lecturing from the pulpit…it just doesn't happen. Please pay attention.
Until we stop OBAMANISM in the tracks, we will lose in Nov. and the blame goes largely to the USCCB for being afraid to use Canon Law 915 on the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi & those signers of Kennedy's letter warning the Bishops to back off from doing what they should have been doing. With almost 70% of "catholics" using some form of birth control and/or abortion, these people will not listen to the cry-baby Bishops now. Instead of wasting time to mess with the Mass, they should have been telling us not to vote for politicians that goes against the teachings of the Church. Most of our Bishops are afraid of the back-lash from the media & the loss of money from their flocks, if they were to teach the truth about birth control, abortion, "sex education" & the death-style of the homosexuals (the Bishops are asleep on this as Obama is pushing this onto our school children, and the Bishops are Not even concerned). Pope Benedict has told the Bishops to start preaching on the hard topics & of course, they refuse to obey & we are still getting mush. Here in Fitchburg, Mass. we only have a few Priests that spoke out against these crimes against God & the back-lash (by Catholics) has not been nice. I believe that most of us know that, despite the lies of Munoz, our tax-money is being used for abortions, not only here in America, but, through-out the world, as the Hyde Amendment has been watered down with the exemptions on it. Obama has taken great pains to learn how Hitler took over Germany & he is doing everything by the "book". We as Catholics (and hopefully all Christians) NEED TO FAST AND PRAY for Holy Spirit to change Obama & give him a heart of flesh, no, I am not talking about the USCCB's version of fasting, as they have been listening to Gore & Green Peace, with their nonsense of fasting to "save the world", which is NOT the fasting of God that Jesus & Mary have done, and are still telling us to do in order to SAVE OUR SOULS & to chase the evil one away from us. Obama is very dangerous & he will pull the wool of so many people, especially the college age crowds & us senior citizens. PRAY, PRAY & PRAY SOME MORE. Maybe the Bishops would realize that we have the two greatest weapons that can & would defeat Obama: THE MASS & THE ROSARY, of which, so far, they seem to be unaware of. How many people were worshipping the false god of football on the Lord's Day, compared to the people that were worshipping the True God on Sunday morning (as Pope John Paul & Pope Benedict, both said, as Sunday is the DAY OF WORSHIP)? See the problem here? We are trying to serve two masters instead of the one & only God & God is trying to wake us up. Thank you Bishops of the USCCB for allowing us to be bought down to our knees by your lack of being men of God. +JMJ+
Catherine P., if the 98% of Catholics in that survey were answering yes to having ever used birth control or had an abortion, that doesn't mean they currently use it or are pro-choice. Even though I fall into that 98%, I am now pro-life and understand and follow the Church's teaching against birth control. I'm sure that there are a great deal of Catholics who are like me, so that the 98% figure does not reflect reality- and that is: how many Catholics are currently using birth control, not how many ever did at one time.
This administration is EVIL
You sit on your couches and complain, but you don't look into the background of things. You take the media's word for everything…(and they are not
If you don't stand up now, then don't complain later when a law is passed that threatens your way of life…..this is only the beginning.
We have to hope and pray and ELECT pro-life candidates. We can do what we can do and that is vote and pray. I am responsible for my own soul and I have to do what God wants me to do and that is pro-life in all matters. Please stand with me and derail this person we currently call President.
Unfortunately, most 'Catholics', will ignore their bishops come election time in November and continue to support the Democratic party of death. The apathy of the non churchgoing 'Catholics' towards this issue will be clear again in November and this country will continue its moral demise.
Insurance covers health care. Contraception is NOT health care as pregnancy is NOT an illness.
Says it doesn't pay for abortive contraception….does is cover Mirena? The "new IUD"? Because the advertisements themselves warn that any pregnancies could be abruptly ended if using Mirena. Does it cover tubal ligations? Vasectomies? If it covers these today, then what will it cover tomorrow?
And what do they mean, our tax dollars don't cover abortions??? Who are they kidding? Millions are sent overseas to pay for abortions!
Nope. Not if it's true that 98% of Catholics have at some point used birth control. If you think the average Catholic will be voting with this one issue in mind, you're very misguided. Sorry to relay reality but the average Catholic is in prime position to commit the sin of recidivism by pulling the anti-life Obama lever again. Be it Romney or G'rich, neither will possibly motivate Catholics, independents or youth for that matter.
When president Obama says contraception including aborticient drugs or sterilization as preventive care, does he think that unborn babies are disease? Does he believe his daughters were also diseases during the stage of the unborn?
Planned Parenthood alumni and other supporters have essentially proven after the Komen uproar that they can rally and fund the services that Obama wants to mandate Catholic employers directly cover. As long as they are getting free birth control, etc., why would they care who is picking up the tab? And will the new health insurance mandates include coverage for assisted reproductive technologies, or is it only to expand free access to preventing and terminating new life? What about mandating coverage for health-related services that result from natural family planning? If, as so many supporting PP believe, it is so very hard to abstain from intercourse during fertile times to prevent pregnancy (knowing how impressively effective birth control overall seems to be, noting how minuscule the number of elective abortions are performed each year), then certainly progressives would support my chosen form of birth control - which is to get a hotel room in a neighboring city for three nights each month. Works for us! And at about $150 per month, it is roughly equivalent to the penalty fee Catholic employers will have to pay per employee each year if the employer chooses not to cover contraceptives, etc. And while we are discussing women's health, numerous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of coffee. Can't we lump coffee coverage into the health insurance mandate? So if an employer offers basic coffee at their business to their employees, and I choose to work there, I should certainly have access to more free options. For me, I prefer a daily Starbucks for about $5, as my physician and I have discovered this coffee works best for my body. To all taxpayers that do not drink coffee and don't want to pay for my coffee or anyone else's, tough luck. Maybe if you started drinking coffee too you wouldn't feel like a minority who is being taxed for the well-established healthy choices of another! And don't forget that all employees' health is best served by a healthy diet. Who's for our employers supplying us with fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and wheat bread each week? That may even have a bigger overall public health impact than employer- funded birth control, as it certainly seems a lot easier to find privately-funded free birth control than privately-funded free healthy food!
Thank you to NC Register, and JFD, for following this outrage closely! We need in-depth coverage because this is obviously part of an anti-Church strategy: a piece with the USCCB being denied an HHS grant for anti-trafficking work over a contrived, phantom need to abortion services and the solicitor general's arguments against the first amendment in the Hosanna-Tabor case.
This is one of the most frightening government mandates in history.
The Obama Administration is taking a hardline position in the culture war. They not only want ACCESS to contraception, they want forced PARTICIPATION on their side from all Americans.
The situation could have been easily avoided. Instead of mandating coverage, the Administration could have required employers to make an additional contribution to an FSA/HSA to cover the cost of contraception if the employer opted out for reasons of conscience. The Catholic Church would have not been participating in anything immoral because they are just giving money to the employee to spend as she feels fit. The employee would, of course, be free to spend that on contraceptives if she chose to do so. Or she could spend it on some other medical care. It would be her choice.
But that is not the goal. The goal is to reduce choices through a subtle coercion to a lifestyle chosen by our government betters. Note that only certain kinds of birth control are covered. Natural Family Planning classes are not covered. Condoms are not covered. The government not only wants you to have access to birth control, but they want to "help you choose" what kind of birth control you use. And they claim to want to keep the government off of women's bodies!
But even if you agree with the birth control mandate (and I'm sure someone will post that they do.) Remember, that the Democrats won't be in power forever. How would you feel if a Republican Administration required your employer to cover religious counseling and anti-gay "therapy"?
Freedom of conscience means freedom of conscience for everybody. Either everyone has it or no one does.
There may be a lot of Catholics who use birth control, contrary to the Church, and there may be a lot of Catholics who have had an abortion, contrary to the Church. And most likely there are many Catholics who were sterilized against the Church's beliefs. BUT HOW MANY SERMONS HAVE WE HEARD ON SUNDAYS THAT SAID THESE ARE NOT ALLOWED??? My own mother used to say "Well, we have to do what we think is best." That was ignorance. She'd never read Humanae Vitae, nor had a priest quote to her, or explain why, and she certainly didn't have the internet available. If there is any blame, it is the priests, bishops (WHOSE FIRST TASK IS TO TEACH). "What we have here is a failure to communicate." (Cool Hand Luke…) Like parents of spoiled children—once the damage is done, can you really expect the ignorant kids to help fix problems? Some major communication needs to be happening. Why didn't ALL bishops respond with a letter? Why didn't all parishes of the bishops who did respond read the letter????? Failure to communicate the rules, failure to enforce the rules… chaos.
Please, please, wake your fellow Catholics up re this issue. The Bishop's letter was read at Holy Mass and most were half asleep! Pray and fast, trust in the Lord!
They really, really screwed up.
"I am committed to overturning Obamacare root and branch. If I am elected president, on day one of my administration I will issue an executive order directing my secretary of Health and Human Services to issue a waiver from its requirements to all 50 states."
Well thanks, Mitt, but I'm not sure I want another president who rules by executive order.
Thank you, Democrats for Life. Thank you for not sharing the totalitarian impulse at work here. You really expose who the fight is between.
Faithful Catholics consider this a political declaration of war. Many Protestants see the writing on the wall. Force us to kill babies? We have tried to get along, some have tried to go along… no more. No faithful Catholic will vote for a single person who defends, supports, or rationalizes this decision, and many less loyal Catholics will do what they do on Easter and Christmas, remember that they are Catholic Christians and they will vote against those who support the venal arrogance displayed in this action. Many Protestant who also have hospitals, colleges and schools, and also oppose abortion on demand, will vote against these leaders. The rest… I pray for their weak and flaccid souls.
The HHS mandate reveals a basic misunderstanding on the part of the Obama Administration of the core beliefs and teachings of religious institutions like the Catholic Church. Catholic doctrine REQUIRES all Catholics to live out the Gospel message in their daily lives. In other words, just going to church on Sunday isn't enough for salvation. Hence the Church has established the St. Vincent DePaul Society, Catholic Charities, Catholic Relief Services, Catholic hospitals, etc. in order to fulfill this Gospel-mandated mission. The narrow religious exemption in the HHS rule would have us believe that the practice of our religious faith stops at the threshold of the church building or perhaps extends to whatever activity is conducted on the building grounds, such as a parochial school or soup kitchen. Its an absurd interpretation of religious activity as carried out by believers in the real world. I'm not a lawyer or historian, so I don't know whether the mandate will withstand legal scrutiny, but it certainly doesn't pass the test of common sense. Does the Obama Administration really want to shut down these charitable operations or limit them only to co-religionists? That's the effect this rule will have unless further reflection is done inside the White House.
Marital sex without contraception is true lovemaking. Is that really so hard to believe?
And the Buddhists are against contraception too, though for different reasons. It's a way to learn some discipline, say the Buddhists. It's a way to make sex into true lovemaking, open to life, which is much more exciting, say the Catholics.
Think about the brothers and sisters you'd have, if your parents hadn't used so much contraception.
A contraceptive mentality toward sex makes sex less enjoyable.
A 48 year old woman I know died from a stroke, from 30 years of oral contraceptive usage.
Always using contraceptives, year after year, just doesn't lead to happiness. You'll have better sex if your sex life is open to children.
It's not always easy to follow, but it's a good teaching.

China to streamline government
China has announced plans to streamline government ministries, as part of a strategy to reduce waste.
The newly installed Communist Party leadership will do away with the powerful railways ministry and create a super-agency to regulate the media.
The proposals reflect the priorities of the new regime to cut waste and address quality of life issues for a more prosperous, demanding society.
Among the changes, the corruption-plagued railways ministry will be split, its regulatory responsibilities going to the transport ministry and its operations to a commercial entity.
The food and drug agency will see a boost in authority to try to end the safety scandals that have been a source of public anger, and two censorship arms, one for broadcasters and one for print media, will be merged.
The restructuring, the seventh since China began market reforms 30 years ago, marks the latest attempt to reduce government meddling in the economy and society.
Despite the effort, the government's role in the economy and the power of state companies have grown over the past decade, often to the detriment of private and foreign companies, which face a series of policies that have raised barriers to success.
This time, the streamlining plan includes guidelines to restrict and better define the central government's responsibilities, limiting its issuing of permits for projects, the setting of standards and other policies that have slowed decision-making.
"Departments of the state council are now focusing too much on micro issues. We should attend to our duties and must not meddle in what is not in our business," Ma Kai, secretary-general of the state council, or cabinet, told the politicians.
He said that overlapping government functions has often led to buck-passing. Overall the revamp would do away with four agencies and reduce the number of ministry-level bodies by two to 25.

For some reason I can't view some of the threads when I'm logged in. I can view them when I log out though. What's going on?
One specific thread is New 3.1-4.1 Softmod for ANY Wii by Dogeggs.
This is very very frustrating.
My web browser is firefox 3.5.7 and I'm running Windows xp home sp. 3
This has been going on for over a week now. So, it's not a 1 time glitch.
Also when I posted this thread the processing page came up and did it's thing for a while and then the error message, "This is a duplicate of a thread you have posted in the last 5 min." popped up. Then it sent me back to the Login / Registration Problems page and the post was there. So, it's getting posted but for some reason it's getting sent twice?
I tried getting to the page again today and got this error message:

Then I pressed the browser's back button and clicked on the thread again. This time it was a blank white screen like all the other times I've tried.

This week's FRESH Ideas segment features part two of the "5 Nights of 5 Ingredient Entrees" series. Last week's recipes featured chicken and this week is pork.
Pork tenderloin is a popular cut, but can require a lot of thawing and oven time for a weeknight. In this recipe the tenderloin is sliced and pounded thin so it can be cooked quickly.
Another time-saving tip is to slice the tenderloin before freezing. It cuts the thawing time by hours.
The remaining ingredients in the recipe are for the sauce. It's big on flavor and the sweetness of the peaches and honey are a great compliment to the pork. The wine and balsamic vinegar also sweeten and add depth of flavor as they reduce.
Stay tuned to FRESH Ideas on KYTX-CBS19 every Tuesday at 5 p.m. And if you miss a segment or want to watch it again you can go to www.tylerpaper.com or www.cbs19.tv . The series will run through September 16.
You can also share your favorite weeknight dinners and timesaving tips by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. At the end of the series we will share your responses and recipes.
Pan-Seared Pork with Peaches & Balsamic-Red Wine Reduction
1 pound pork tenderloin, silver skin removed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
3 peaches, cut into wedges
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Slice pork into 3/4 inch slices and pound between two layers of plastic wrap to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil to the pan. Cook pork, working in batches, until browned on both sides and cooked to medium temperature (145 degrees or slightly pink interior.) Transfer pork to a serving plate. Reduce heat to medium and add the peaches, red wine and balsamic vinegar. Saut← until liquid is reduced by half and peaches are soft. If necessary, add water a tablespoon at a time to keep the volume of the sauce while the peaches are softening. Add the honey and stir to coat. Pour sauce over the pork and serve. Note: The alcohol in the wine dissipates as it reduces in volume. But if you prefer a substitution use 1/4 cup chicken broth combined with 1/4 cup apple or cranberry juice.

Recently, I saw a clip of Chris Matthews grumbling at the state of the Obama Presidency. Matthews was expressing frustration at a perceived lack of communication between the president and Congress, and I think he's on to something.
Barack Obama came into office with everything going for him – a clear voter mandate, concrete plans, and a united Congress ready to promote Democratic ideals. So what happened?
First, it's important to establish that Obama has done quite a lot right: he's pulled back the economy from the brink of collapse, saved the American auto industry, created a healthcare plan that will help millions, and orchestrated a defense strategy that's carefully taking us out of the Middle East without leaving a mess behind.
But at the same time, he hasn't had the same relationship with Congress that defined the presidencies of Bill Clinton, or Ronald Reagan. These were true consensus builders who, despite the difficulties their policies faced, were effective in rallying support and building coalitions.
This may be Barack Obama's weakness – why he may ultimately be compared to Jimmy Carter and not Franklin Roosevelt.
If the president wants to win a second term and make it one notable for progress and achievement, he needs to talk with his coworkers. He needs to communicate with them as often as he communicates with the American people, and he needs to create working relationships with the swing votes upon which so many of his policy successes will rely.
The president known by millions for his rhetorical abilities should remember that success can't depend on speeches. Matthews says it best:
"Their idea of running a campaign is a virtual universe of sending e‑mails around to people. No, it's not. It's meetings with people. It's forging alliances. It's White House meetings and dinner parties that go on until midnight. And he should be sitting late at night now with senators and members of Congress and governors working together on how they are going to win this political fight that's coming."
Get your datebook out, Mr. President.

wikiHow to Stain Wood Doors
Three Parts:Prepping the Door for StainStaining the DoorFinishing the DoorCommunity Q&A
Wood doors are a welcoming and classy sight in any home. If you want to clean up old doors or finish new doors, learning to stain the properly is a great DIY project for experienced home improvement experts and novices alike. With the right tools and the right process, you can stain wood doors to highlight their natural beauty and textures, and learn to protect the stain with finish to keep your door looking great for years.
Part 1
Prepping the Door for Stain
1Remove the door from the hinges. It's important to remove the door and lay it out flat to stain it properly. Most wood doors should be able to be removed fairly easily, without fear of damaging. Don't try to stain doors while they're hanging on the hinges.
- To remove the door, pull the pins that hold the hinges together using a screwdriver. Push the pins up until they release the hinge plate on the door, then remove it.
2Remove the hardware. To avoid staining the door knobs, knockers, locks, and other hardware, it's important to unscrew everything that's connected to the door and remove it so you can stain the wood and only the wood. Most hardware can be removed by unscrewing a couple of Philips-head screws and should come off quite easily. Keep everything organized so you'll be able to find it later, after the door has been stained.
3Lay the door out flat on some sawhorses. It's usually best to set up a sawhorse in a well-ventilated area before you stain it, as flat as possible and preferably at waist-height. Setting a door up on a workbench would be fine, but setting it up on some sawhorses would be even more perfect, if you have access to them.
4Sand the door thoroughly. If the door is painted or has been stained previously, it's important to sand it thoroughly before you try to stain it. Even if the door hasn't previously been painted, treated, or sanded, it's also good to sand it down to open up the fibers and help it accept the stain more easily.
- Use an orbital finish sander or sanding pad with 220-grit sandpaper to sand the door quickly and remove minor imperfections. Always sand with the grain of the wood.
- Sometimes it's also common to wipe the door down with tack cloth before applying the stain. Tack cloth is a sticky piece of cheesecloth-like gauze that is yellow in color, helping to remove sawdust and other sediment to clean the surface. Wipe down your project with this and choose an area to stain that is dust free as possible.
5Select a door stain appropriate for the wood. Always use a good quality stain with a petroleum base, such as Minwax, Craftsman, mixing the stain according to the manufacturer's directions. Some people think a gel stain is appropriate for smaller areas, while others prefer poly stains for their versatility. Go to the hardware outlet of your choice and shop around for a color and variety of wood stain that matches the type of wood and the kind of look you're going for with the door.
Part 2
Staining the Door
1Wear protective eyewear and gloves. When you're handling stain and sanding, it's important to wear protective clothing, gloves, eyewear, and respiration if you're indoors. Avoid getting wood stain in your face or on your skin.
- If you're staining in your garage, it's also critical to wear breathing protection and to ventilate the area as much as possible. Take frequent breaks and make sure you're getting enough clean air into your lungs. Stop immediately if you start to feel light-headed.
2Apply a coat on stain. Paint the stain onto the wood with the grain, using a lint-free cloth folded into a pad. Paint evenly, with the door laid flat so the stain won't drip down the wood grain and stain at awkward intervals.
- After the first light pressure wipes, without adding more stain from can, apply even pressure and wipe three to eight times with the grain. Always go with the grain of wood, and in a singular motion without stopping.
- Some wood workers like to apply the initial coat with a brush, then go over the stain while it's still wet with a rag to smooth out the stain and create a more even look. If you're using a poly stain or a gel stain, it's sometimes recommended to use a brush, as opposed to a lint-free cloth. Always defer to the manufacturer's directions and use the appropriate tool and technique for the stain you're using.
3Let the stain set for a recommended time and wipe off with a dry lint-free cloth. Depending on your project, the wood you're staining, and the variety of stain you're using, you may be ready to finish the stain, or you'll likely want to apply a second, and possibly more coats. If so, it's important to let the stain dry, sand over it with 0000 steel wool or 220 sandpaper, and repeat the staining process.
- Use a clean lint-free cloth to wipe off excess stain as you're painting it on, to avoid uneven pools of stain that will form dark spots. As stain dries, a kind of "peach fuzz" will form as a result of stain, which you should work off with the steel wool, moving in gentle but even circles with the grain of the wood. Typically, you want to allow six to ten hours of drying time between coats.
4Apply as many coats as necessary. Now, if desired, you may dip your application cloth back into the can of stain, and repeat the process until the desired color is achieved. Continue staining the wood, rubbing down the wood between coats with 0000 steel wool, until you've gotten the stain to the color you like it.
- Once you are happy with the look of the wood, leave it alone and stop touching it until it's thoroughly dry. Don't use steel wool or sandpaper or anything. Let it dry for several hours, then clean it up with a clean lint-free cloth.
Part 3
Finishing the Door
1Choose an appropriate urethane finish for the door. Stain colors the wood, but you also need to protect your hard work by applying an exterior urethane finish on the surface of the stain to seal and protect it. Finish comes in flat, semi-gloss or high gloss, and will need to be applied in several coats. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions.
- Water-based finishes are somewhat more environmentally friendly, but can also result in that "peach fuzz" texture that the stain creates as well. Apply the finish using a similar application and buffing process, using the steel wool or sandpaper between coats.
- Wipe down the surface with a wet rag. Allow the wood to dry thoroughly before applying finish, sanding it lightly if necessary before you begin.
2Use a bristle or foam brush to apply finish. Follow the same basic procedure and pattern for applying the finish, using long even strokes and a uniform coat with the brush. Use a cloth to wipe off and smooth out excess finish if necessary.
- Read the manufacturer's instructions to find out how long to wait between coats, usually somewhere between two and six hours.
3Sand off any bristles that appear after the first finish coat. Apply at least two more coats for a thorough, even finish over the first coat. which will be more heavily sanded than usual for a finish coat. By the time you get to the last coat, you shouldn't be sanding at all.
- When you've applied all the coats of finish, let the door dry thoroughly and wipe it down with a clean cloth to make sure it's completely dust free and clean before hanging it back in place.
4Reattach all hardware. If you removed the hardware from the door, reattach it as before ad get your door ready to hang back up in the frame. Have a partner help to hold it in place while you screw the fixtures back in and reinsert the hinge pin into place to complete the job.
Community Q&A
Why remove the door from the hinges to stain?wikiHow ContributorThe real or main reason is so you can polyurethane or seal all 6 sides. You really want to seal the top and bottom edges of the door as well as under the hinges to avoid swelling in times of high humidity. Do the door jamb too. Doors that stick occasionally are doors that were finished or re-finished while still on the hinges.
What type of stain is good for wood exterior doors and should I use a primer before staining?wikiHow ContributorThe best and only good one that I've found is One-Time Wood Protector. It comes in different colors and is a 1-step application every 7 years. Go with One-Time even if you have to first apply another stain to obtain the look you're after. Wood conditioner is almost never needed, but you can absolutely apply it before anything else and it won't harm anything. Do not use paint primer.
What to do after you turn door over & stain is on edges? How to remove it before staining side two?
How do you sand carving in wood door
What do you fill the grooves in with after sanding?
- Be sure to seal the top and bottom of exterior doors. This helps to "encase" the wood for minimum swelling on rainy days.
- It is best to use a sanding sealer to ensure an even staining and prevent blotching.
- Use a lint-free cloth to wipe down the door between sandings.
- Acquire a piece of wood of similar grain and type that the door is made of. Apply the chosen stain to small areas until you see the desired results. It is better to make mistakes here than on the door.
- If you are refurbishing an existing wooden door that was painted with an oil-based enamel, you may find that it is difficult to stain after stripping the old paint. It may be easier to use a faux wood pattern of painting to create the look you want in this situation.

Borussia Dortmund [2] fans have launched an impassioned Twitter campaign demanding that Manchester United [3] 'Free Shinji' Kagawa [4].Kagawa was on the bench for the 0-0 draw against Chelsea and has yet to make a competitive appearance under new boss David Moyes, prompting BVB faithful from across the world to voice their frustration via the social networking site.Tweets using the hashtag #freeshinji began to trend worldwide as a result, with supporters from England, Brazil, Germany and Kagawa's native Japan all taking part.The Japan international moved to the Premier League from last year's Champions League finalists back in 2012 but has found his short career at Old Trafford curtailed by injury and inconsistent form.Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp had previously indicated a desire to bring the 24-year-old back to Signal Iduna Park, but admitted defeat over a possible deal this summer.
"[Coming back] is not an option for him this year and not an option for us," Klopp said. "This was made obvious quite quickly.
"Shinji wants to prove himself at Man Utd this season. I didn't think the response would be any different but better safe than sorry."
Kagawa had a tough introduction to English football last season, scoring six goals in just 26 appearances for the Red Devils.

July Summer Beauty List
I can't wait to try out One Love Organics new summer line, especially the Pretty Pores Complexion Toning Mist. I have a thing for mists…
Being a huge fan of Benefit's Benetint and Cha Cha stains I'm eager to try the balm.
Can you ever get enough nail polish? Well, yes, but also no. (They should just make the bottles smaller!) This summer I'm thinking of adding Essie's Resort Fling and Bikini So Teeny to my polish collection.
I basically don't use body lotion anymore (except on my hands). Usually I just spray a light body oil all over when I get out of the shower. I love the packaging and branding of Beauty Counter and have been dying to try some of their products. Let's start with the Lustro Body Oil.
So, I just figured out what contouring was in the past year or so and it changed. my. life. I like the idea of a specific palette for contouring, so this NARS contour blush looks like something I should play with.
I've seen so many people rave about this L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick, so I figure I need to check it out. Thinking the nude ballet would be my color.
What's on your beauty list right now?

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister retired only a week after the team tapped him to serve as an honorary captain, officials said Tuesday.
The Saints said McAllister was placed on the reserve/retired list.
McAllister returned to the team last week, 11 months after he was released after establishing franchise records of 6,096 rushing yards and 55 total touchdowns in 97 regular-season games over eight seasons.
McAllister, however, did not appear in Saturday's playoff win over the Arizona Cardinals.
He was key part of the Saints squad that advanced to the 2006 NFC Championship Game but has hampered by injuries in his final two seasons, and lost playing time with coming of younger running backs Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas.
