Down syndrome-associated abortion is now illegal in Ohio — experts say the law is 'blatantly unconstitutional'
Ohio's Republican Gov. John Kasich signed off on his 20th anti-abortion law since taking office in 2010. The bill signed into law by Kasich, H.B. 214, now levies a charge of a fourth-degree felony — punishable with up to 18 months of prison time — on any physician who performs an abortion on a patient knowing of, or even expressing concerns regarding, a Down syndrome diagnosis.
While supporters of the bill claim that it is meant to prevent discrimination against those with Down syndrome, legal experts, pro-choice advocates, and members of the Down syndrome community say it does anything but.
Gabriel Mann, the communications director for NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, explains that under Kasich, Ohio has lost half of its abortion clinics.
With this bill, "When a woman gets a Downs syndrome diagnosis, the last thing she needs is John Kasich telling her what's right for her family, and that's exactly what this bill will do," Mann tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
Mann adds, H.B. 214 is not only "consistent with the other anti-abortion legislation Kasich has signed in the past," but "does nothing to support families taking care of loved ones with Downs. Republicans refused amendments on the bill to help families guarantee access to Medicaid, special education funding, or provide direct financial assistance for families raising children with Downs. This bill just is a means to force abortion providers out of business and to end safe and legal abortion in Ohio. … This would force doctors to stop providing safe and legal abortion care because it threatens them with charges of a fourth-degree felony for a situation not under their control. It would be based on what intent the woman has, and then applies that felony charge to the doctor. It's very severe step they are taking — and it's blatantly unconstitutional, violates Roe, violated Casey, and is part of Kasich's strategy of, just one piece at a time, trying to eliminate abortion access."
Gary Daniels, chief lobbyist for the ACLU of Ohio, explains that H.B. 214 is part of a larger strategy on behalf of Kasich and other anti-choice activist lawmakers to find their way before the Supreme Court in an attempt to see Roe v. Wade overturned altogether.
"The Supreme Court is changing, there is a new president, older justices are retiring — the strategy is let's get as many anti-choice bills through legislatures around the country including here in Ohio and let them work their way up to the Supreme Court of the United States and become an invitation to overturn Roe v. Wade and all the other decisions affirming Roe v. Wade. That's their long game here — to get before the Supreme Court," Daniels explains to Yahoo Lifestyle.
That said, Daniels notes the lower courts "don't seem that interested in entertaining these bills seriously. This bill totally goes against the current court jurisprudence on reproductive rights. This Downs bill — and other states have bills kicking around on other genetic abnormalities — all share that courts keep striking them down all around the country and ironically, build up better case law for pro-choice advocates around the country."
Daniels explains that the Supreme Court has made it clear that through the first and second trimester are when women have "an almost unfettered ability to have an abortion." Thus, he says, bills like this one just signed by Kasich amount to a "Hail Mary pass — with the hope that the Supreme Court will be there on the other side to receive the Hail Mary pass."
Yet, he says, "Downs bills, so-called 'heartbeat bills,' procedure bans, abortion bans before a certain date — they're all the same. This is really no more complicated than that the Supreme Court has drawn a red line saying: 'After this point, you can regulate abortion and before this point, you better have a really great reason as to why you're doing this.' And Down syndrome doesn't make the cut, heartbeat bills don't make the cut, procedure bans don't make the cut. The Supreme Court hasn't really found anything other than health and safety regulations relevant to impacting a woman's ability to have an abortion."
The new law, however, is "blatantly unconstitutional," Daniels says, as it "talks about not being able to get an abortion if test results indicate Down, if you get a prenatal diagnosis of Down, or if a woman has any other reason to believe that a child has Down. You could be a pregnant woman out there and under the misconception that Down is wholly genetic, and that's not true. You could say you consulted your astrologer, watched a documentary — there could be lots of reasons why women seek abortion, but if they ever use the magic words, 'I think there might be Down,' at that point, it becomes an illegal abortion."
Consequently, Daniels says, "a patient who doesn't want to get their physician in legal trouble or a doctor trying to avoid legal trouble" might result in a fettered patient-provider relationship at a time "when the lines of communication should be as open as possible. Given a pregnancy and a doctor's role, the ability for a patient to speak frankly with a doctor is what's at stake here. What you're going to be seeing is much less communication between all parties involved, and that's no good for someone getting medical care."
Emily Chesnut is a mother of four children living in Ohio — and one of those children has Down syndrome. Chesnut is against H.B. 214 and says that what frustrates her is, "[Ohio lawmakers] are consistently chipping away at things that would help" in the case of Nora, her 6-year-old daughter with Down syndrome.
When Chesnut was 20 weeks pregnant, she found out that one of the twins she was carrying appeared to have a heart defect. The only way the condition could be diagnosed absolutely is through amniocentesis, which Chesnut declined because of the risks that the procedure carries.
"For our family, it wasn't going to change the outcome of the pregnancy. My personal decision between me and my husband was that termination was not an option," Chesnut tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "But I was married, we both had jobs, we were in a good place. Regardless of any diagnosis given, our choices would not have changed. But I recognize my very privileged background, and that was our family planning — we wanted more children."
Which is why Chesnut finds herself so discouraged by H.B. 214.
"They say, 'Well, every child with Down must be born but we're not going to help you — you're on your own now. If you say that, then you're just pro-birth. We need funding that would help with education and jobs for people with Down, for the support services that Nora gets now. She is 6 and in first grade and it's funded services that support her. What Nora needs is long-term," Chesnut says.
"Individuals with Down," she continues, "their life expectancy used to be 25, but now it's 60, and I imagine Nora will live long beyond 60. I need to worry about her housing, her learning independence now to get the skills that she needs for when I cannot help her. I need funding that will help our family be more successful and Nora be more independent. … Individuals with Down have higher rates of heart issues, so we need Medicare funding too. There is a medical link to a need for ongoing specialists that she will need; we will need to see whether she will need to have another heart surgery in the future or if longer-term medical issues arise."
Chesnut concludes, "Just saying we need more babies with Down syndrome born doesn't help us. We need services and support and integration in the community. But this bill is just another way to push the anti-abortion agenda, because what parents need is more information and trust to talk about their options. And I hope if termination were a choice they were considering, they would reach out and meet families with Down. But it's a woman's choice and this bill is just putting another hurdle in place when women are trying to make reproductive decisions for themselves."

Have you seen this years stamps? They are similar to this one - and very beautiful. They feature the work of pre-Raphaelite artists. You can view them here.
I've been looking after a poorly husband this week.....and making Christmas tags! The first three have images from Lynn's lovely collage sheets which you can find here. The Father Christmas was cut from a piece of scrapbooking paper....and the 'Noel' tag is really red, not brown!
Before I go, I just wanted to show you my parcel of goodness from Jean....I really love the colours she uses in her work. I'm so happy with our 'trade'; thank you my friend!!

Those tags are getting me in the festive mood. I want to make my own cards this year. I am so hoping I will have some time to get them onto paper for once in my life but I don't want a poorly husband though. He will end up going in the santa sack as I am not a very good nurse.

text: David Jagielski - Friday, November 17, 2017 Don't Neglect Looking at a Company's Statement of Cash Flow Before Investing When investors are analyzing whether to look at company they often focus on the income statement and whether the company's sales are growing and whether it is profitable. However, there are things that could distort the usefulness of those numbers, such as if the company is only profitable due to foreign exchange gains or tax recoveries. Profitability and sales are important, but there are other things investors should consider. Whether a company is able to bring in cash from its operations shouldn't be overlooked, and if it isn't it, that could be the first sign of trouble. This is especially true in the oil and gas industry where we've seen many bankruptcies since the price of oil crashed, and as a result many receivables may not be collectable which will have an impact on a company's cash flow. Another area to look at is the company's capital expenditures. A company that is reducing its investments isn't going to have strong growth prospects and it could be a sign of trouble since that is often one of the first places for a company to cut costs. What's left over after the company's capital spending is its free cash, and this is important because this is essentially how much money the company has left over after running its business. If a company is growing free cash that is a good sign and indicates that it is in a good position to take on big investments down the road, perhaps even an acquisition. Sales and profits are good long-term indicators that the company is doing well, but in the short term you shouldn't overlook a company's cash flow.

Just a little pun perhaps. but still true enough. After all, these Egyptian wonders didn't leave their homeland of their own accord now did they?
It is important to realize upfront that there is simply no way to explore the entirety of the Louvre museum in one visit, nor three visits, nor even a whole week dedicated to the task I'd wager. A much better approach is to determine what you would like to see by choosing perhaps a single wing or department and then plan to see the rest in the same such manner upon subsequent visits. For example, the last time I traveled to Paris in 2012, I visited all of the paintings (Italian, French, etc.) in several visits. On this second visit to the city and its largest museum, I wanted to focus of the Egyptian art and the European decorative arts galleries. Even only trying to see these two areas, one day was obviously not enough, because now home and consulting a map of the building I realized somehow we missed a large portion of the decorative arts! It won't be my last visit to the museum, so I suppose that section will be first on my list next time. I get so turned around in places as vast as the Louvre, especially when loopy from jet lag. More espressos next time for sure. Still, it was amazing to see the Egyptian galleries, as I am a huge fan of ancient Egyptian aesthetics and history.
From the huge granite statues down to the tiny fragments of jewelry, the scope of the Louve's collection of Egyptian antiquities is large. I would love to visit again and take more time and get the audio guide (we skipped it this time forgetting how little information was available in English). I find with museums sometimes one is in the mood to just admire and imagine, and other times one is in the mood to learn and invest. This visit we admired, and next time I wish to learn. The colors and textures, from painted sarcophagi to a small stone temple you could walk inside were of course beautiful and imbued with a magical quality, a strange magnetism that only centuries of time can impart.
I wore my black and brown color blocked twill suit, a silk scarf, and my favorite scarab brooch for the occasion. I like to think my love safari/adventurer styles can expand into the more polished scholar/Marion-in-DC/proud librarian zone. That's a real style right? The adventurer-at-home-to-secure-funding sorta look. One day I'll take some courses on anthropology and archaeology so I don't have to just play at looking the part ;)
I hope you enjoy these photos, it was certainly both fun and challenging to shoot in the busy galleries. As these were all shot indoors the lighting is super varied and most of my photos came out pretty grainy. The good thing about grainy photos is that when you turn them sepia they instantly look quite vintage, so at least that is a good outcome! I'll put up some of the noisy sepia ones up on Instagram soon <3

It's been sometimes now that I have been provided a room in Orkut, and my neighbours (70 and still counting) have been excellent in all fronts. Be it the girl from Christ College, Bangalore or a Technical Writer from Mumbai, my neighbors have been co-operative in all fronts.
Harddone the scraps have been sometimes very sweet, though a few people have blasted me for my photogenic snaps. I also had the fortune to meetup with some of my neighbors who have been touchwood very sweet. The only drawback after meeting them is that I've become little diabetic to say, notforgetting the ooom taste of Appam,Arabian Chicken and what not!...Thanks all!
Testimonials have been written, and I seriously thank each one of you including those of non-testimourners. I am now aware of my latent qualities..
I joined a few communities, which have become so overcrowded these days with questions pouring like 'would u date me?' 'how would u rate the profile?'…I sense, we have quite a few writers, painters who have demonstrated their skills and created new norms of art. They are likely to get Nobel Prize soon.
Well if that's not enough, sometimes Orkut has treated me very badly. Often, at times, my password has been hacked only to discover my neighbours were playing hide and seek with me..
All said and done, and as I doze the ball in Orkut's court, I respect each and everyone who has visited my profile. Please don't hesitate to drop a line or two. I am sure there are enough nice words in the dictionary to use.. You can ping me on Yahoo. I am available as potatobuck…I will respond to you if my company lifts out the ban on Orkut.
Wel, all the best to all of you! Happy Surfing and remember that anytime you wish to see your hands get colored, Matrimonial Guruji or Raj or Jersy is always there.

Tehran Rejects Nuclear Talks with Preconditions
Middle East Online:
Iran said Tuesday it would not accept resuming negotiations with Britain, France and Germany on its nuclear programme if the EU continued to insist the Islamic republic abandon fuel cycle work. "The Islamic Republic of Iran will not accept any negotiations with preconditions attached," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters.
"Instead of talking about negotiations and setting conditions, the Europeans would be better off resuming the talks because they were ones who cut them off," he added. READ MORE
Iran has in recent months hardened its position in its nuclear stand-off with the West by rejecting proposals that it abandon fuel cycle technology in return for incentives and by resuming uranium conversion work in defiance of an agreement with Britain, France and Germany.
Tehran insists its nuclear programme it strictly peaceful and argues that fuel cycle work is a right for any signatory of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
But the European Union and United States want Iran to abandon work related to uranium enrichment - which can be diverted to military use.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last month adopted a resolution that finds Iran in "non-compliance" with nuclear proliferation safeguards - an automatic trigger for taking the matter to the UN Security Council.

Egypt Bench Canyons 2007
In October 2007, I descended 4 canyons accessible from Egypt Bench in the Escalante area. Hal Tompkins organized the trip. Other participants were Craig Taylor and Joan Marshall. After backpacking into Lower Fence Canyon, we descended Middle Neon the following day using the Bill Wolverton entrance. Craig and I continued through Lower Neon finishing with the well known rappel into the Golden Cathedral. The following day we all did Lower Ringtail and backpacked back to the Egypt trailhead. Over the next two days, we descended Egypt 2 and Egypt 3. I did not take photos in Lower Neon or Ringtail.Read More

Beyonce has surprised her fans by singing Formation for the first time live.
The Single Ladies superstar joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars for the Super Bowl half-time show and entered rocking out to the new single, which she dropped on Friday.
Beyonce has kept a low-profile in the past year, sending her fans into fever pitch when it was revealed that she would be joining Coldplay for the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, and she's smashed it once again with her new song.
Leading a hot troupe of dancers, Beyonce stepped out in a Michael Jackson-inspired costume, rocking a black leotard with a black leather military-style jacket with gold embellishments.
On the same weekend before hitting the stage, Queen Bey dropped new track, Formation, whipping the Bey Hive around the world into a frenzy.
Read more: Follow here for ALL the latest updates from the Super Bowl 50
And she gave an super-rare interview ahead of the Super Bowl Halftime Show ahead of the Sunday's Coldplay-headlined show, where she will hit the stage along with Just The Way You Are hitmaker Bruno Mars.
Talking about her incredible 2013 Super Bowl performance in New Orleans, where she reunited with Destiny's Child and caused a power outtage after singing some of her classics like Single Ladies, Crazy In Love and Halo, Beyonce said: "I knew I had to make the best of the moment."
She continued: "It's one of those magical performances you can't recreate. I wanted it to be something iconic and something that people would never forget."
Hamish Hamilton, the man who directed Bey's show at the Superdome and is behind this Super Bowl performance, also spoke of Beyonce, as he said: "She can be a very benevolent dictator, she can also be a wonderful collaborator... She has such ambition to be perfect, to be the best that you just get swept up along in that."

Carpocalypse, on the surface, may not be a show that appeals to everyone but if you watch an episode with an open mind, you find yourself chuckling over what you see in a typical episode.
Each episode, a group of drivers that are, well, eccentric construct cars for races to be held at a local oval. With many of the cars coming from local junk and scrapyards, it is interesting to see how fast they are made suitable to drive in.
However, the real focus for this show are the personalities of the drivers. With characters like Raybo and Fordzilla, the drivers are a constant source of amusement for any viewer.
Overall, this reviewer highly recommends this show to anyone who wants to watch a racing theme show that does not take itself too seriously but is well filmed and great fun to watch!

Tom Wilkinson might terrorize The Lone Ranger
Gore Verbinski is looking for a cast for his next film, the adaptation of THE LONE RANGER, and he may have found the villain.
Tom Wilkinson is apparently closing in on a deal to play the lead villain of the film, Latham Cole. He'll be joining a pretty high profile cast, most notably Armie Hammer as the titular character, Johnny Depp as his sidekick Tonto, and Ruth Wilson as the female lead.
Other actors being considered for roles include Barry Pepper, Helena Bonham Carter, James Badge Dale and Dwight Yoakum.
Things seem to be moving ahead fairly quickly for the film now, since Disney finally greenlit it after sidelining it for almost a year over concerns with its budget. The budget was dropped from $260 million to $215 million and the stars have taken salary cuts to make sure the film gets made. We'll see if it was worth it, but Wilkinson as s villain certainly seems like a step in the right direction.

While commuting from work, after a stressful day...lost in the professional thoughts, worried about things in general!! I caught myself in a nasty mood, question came in mind, Is it my best state? Is this state helpful to my family, will my wife and kids be welcoming if the same pensive mood continued??
Then i asked my self a question " Amit- Is his the best you can be in this situation?"
And a smile crept on my face, a realization sunk in that, the worries were my self created images of future which may not be a real representation!!- this is not me, this is not the best of me.
With the new awareness, here i was renewed and fresh, went back home with a smile and welcoming attitude.
Over tea and breakfast asked the same question to kids and wife, we all agreed that if we do no justify our state in a situation and ask "Is it the best i can give"? Outcomes can be remarkable!
The question i ask you champions is to keep asking self in any situation "Is it the best i can give in this situation"??
Be the best you an be!
Always your in success!

Over the last two days, Fannie Mae (NASDAQOTH:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (NASDAQOTH:FMCC) have watched their stocks plummet by more than 40% following the Senate Banking Committee announcing the bill which many have declared is the beginning of the end for the two government sponsored entities.
In this segment of The Motley Fool's financials-focused show, Where the Money Is, banking analyst David Hanson is joined by Fool contributor Patrick Morris to discuss what the stipulations of the bi-partisan bill are, and why it has caused many investors to flee the stock. In addition, the timing of the corresponding drop is something the two analysts found to be quite interesting.

Atop the wall, the rogues take stock of their situation. They're located roughly in the middle of two 'towers', both manned with an unknown number of guards. It is assumed there are two more, similar towers we can't see in the dark. A quick plan is made and put into motion, sending [[:Mondar:]] and [[:Crys:]] ahead of the group to the right tower. They're both armed with magical acorns, which they attempt to use to freeze the guards.
It… Doesn't work so well. Neither does Crys' hiding. On the upside, the gaurds just figure she's a whore. On the downside, they figure she's a whore, and try to hold her down.
They are cut down, though the castle wall now has mysterious holes in it.

My mom and Julia accompanied me this weekend to Bead Fest. We headed out Friday night and stayed at the Marriot Courtyard. We had dinner, went swimming and enjoyed some girl time together.
Saturday we ate breakfast and prepared to BEAD SHOP! The show opened at 10 and I was due to demo at Parawire at 11. So I made a quick stop at Holy and Pure Gems.....got a nice batch of beads there. Then we went and said Hi to our vending friends.
Demo'ing was a lot of fun. I got to meet some people who follow online. Its always nice to be able to meet people in person!
I used parawire to make some of my donut pendants while sitting there- a fun in and out sort of weave that can be used lots of ways- and I made some clasps with it as well. I found that the Vintage Bronze is my most favorite color. Sort of like an old antique brass- so rich.
Then I had an hour to shop before returning to ParaWire. I made sure to go and see my art bead friends again, and we traded for some goodies. Heather of HMB and Michelle of Firefly Design Studio traded with me for some art beads. I ended up chatting with them for my break and then back to Para Wire.
My mom and Julia went to see a movie and then checked out an antique store nearby until I was done the demo's. Then we shopped. We made our way around the whole show.
I got to see CB & Co and C-koop's booth. Looked really nice, and I just love Kristi's jewelry. It was even better in person. I knew my mom would like it too, and she ended up buying a pair of earrings from her.
CB& Co Booth
I made sure to hit Hands of the Hills for my unique goodies and beads- and I picked up an antique brass belt. Its soooo amazing. I also got some brass do-dads for the boys, and some other bone antiquities.
Then, I just peeked in Intrinsic's booth, and ended up with a heavy bag of gemstones. They also had nice $2 bags of metal beads and Aiden's big request from me was to get him some metal beads. Julia hit their $1 section. I told her she could get 3 and when I checked out there were 11 in my basket. That's my little bead addict! How could I say no?
I came home with some REALLY good loot and can't wait to create now.
left to right: ammonite faceted beads, matte kyanite top drilled, faceted pyrite, LARGE labradorite beads, two strands of lovely turquoise, antique brass belt, goldish druzy beads and center drilled rutilated quartz
top to bottom- art beads from Firefly Studio, HMB Beads, bone beads, rough kyanite coins, charms from HOH, ammonite donut pairs, grey ammonite pendants, and DRUZIES
Left to right- recycled glass beads, mamoth bone beads, fossil clam shells, kyanite rectangles, small drilled ammonite beads (for earrings), fossil coral slabs, excellent fire agate faceted nuggets
ceramic bee, headpins and fish by Firefly Designs
HMB Glass disc beads
After a long day of bead shopping I was looking forward to a relaxing girls night and early bedtime since I was due to teach Sunday morning. But Julia got a stomach bug, and we spent our WHOLE night up in the bathroom. POOR GIRL. she felt so terrible. Thankfully she is such a big girl that she let me sleep a couple hours......it was a REALLY tough night.
In the morning she was still not feeling well, so we checked out of the hotel very very early......my mom dropped me off at Beadfest to teach and ran Julia back home. Then she turned around and came back to help me with class. (isn't she great? I would be lost without her)
Not only did she do that all for Julia and me, when she came back she went into the show and picked me up some of the druzy shell cabs that I was drooling over.
She really knows how to cheer me up.
Despite no sleep, my class went well. It was a small one, but I think we had fun.....lots of gabbing and creating. Its a packed class, and in 4 hours we go from a pack of white polymer, wire and beads to a finished necklace. The ladies were wonderful, and they all made amazing pieces of jewelry!
(really bad lighting in the classroom)
I love when the students put their own spin on the pieces! Alison Lee made a whole new shape for her focal. That is the magic of polymer clay, you can make it into whatever YOU want. Make it just your style.
Though it was an exhausting weekend, I had a blast. I really LOVE teaching. I enjoy nothing more then watching those light bulbs go off when people learn something new, and then do it. They all left with pieces to be proud of and techniques they can use a million different ways. It is so rewarding!
Now to unpack and get back into the swing of things. Julia is home today to recover, since she is JUST finally eating this morning.
(just a little mess to put away)
Thank you to all who stopped by and said hello or took my class.
Enjoy your week!

Ok- so a bit about me. I was told a few years ago that if I don't lose weight by the time I am 40 then I will have diabetes. I also found out last year that I am low in iron, I have PCOS (but not the one with cysts on ovaries) and was basically told that my hormones are completely out of whack and the only way for me to fall pregnant is to lose weight.
So - why am I still struggling?
I have always wanted to have kids and have never wanted anything more - and then I get told that I need to lose weight for this to happen and I am still overweight.
My sister-in-law was the same - she got told that the only way for her to have kids was to lose weight and now I have 2 beautiful nephews.
So if she can do it, then why can't I?
I feel like I am not meant to be a mum because I am not losing the weight that I need to lose to have the family that my husband and I want.
Sorry for the negative post but just needed to get this off my chest.

WASHINGTON -- Although the National Endowment for the Arts' 2016 cost of $148 million was less than one-hundredth of 1 percent of the federal budget, attempting to abolish the NEA is a fight worth having, never mind the certain futility of the fight.
Let's pretend, counterfactually, that the NEA no longer funds the sort of rubbish that once immersed it in the culture wars, e.g., "Piss Christ" (a photo depicting a crucifix immersed in a jar of the artist's urine) and "Genital Wallpaper" (don't ask). What, however, is art? We subsidize soybean production, but at least we can say what soybeans are. Are NEA enthusiasts serene about government stipulating, as it must, art's public purposes that justify public funding? Or do they insist that public funds should be expended for no defined public purpose?
Government breeds advocacy groups that lobby it to do what it wants to do anyway -- expand what it is doing. The myriad entities with financial interests in preserving the NEA cloyingly call themselves the "arts community," a clever branding that other grasping factions should emulate, e.g., the "military-industrial community."
The NEA was created in 1965 as a filigree on the Great Society. In 1995, Republicans won control of the House of Representatives and said the NEA was a frill the federal government should be shorn of.
David Marcus, artistic director of a Brooklyn-based theater project and senior contributor to The Federalist, says the NEA produces "perverse market incentives" that explain why many arts institutions "are failing badly at reaching new audiences, and losing ground":
"Many theater companies, even the country's most 'successful,' get barely 50 percent of their revenue from ticket sales. Much of the rest comes from tax-deductible donations and direct government grants. This means that the real way to succeed as an arts organization is not to create a product that attracts new audiences, but to create a product that pleases those who dole out the free cash. The industry received more free money than it did a decade ago, and has fewer attendees."
Furthermore, the NEA's effects are regressive, funding programs that are, as Paul Ryan's House Budget Committee said, "generally enjoyed by people of higher income levels, making them a wealth transfer from poorer to wealthier." A frequently cited study purporting to prove otherwise was meretricious: It stressed income levels of ZIP codes where NEA-funded institutions are, inferring that institutions located in low-income areas are serving low-income people.
Americans' voluntary contributions to arts organizations ("arts/culture/humanities" institutions reaped $17 billion in 2015) dwarf the NEA's subventions, which would be replaced if those who actually use the organizations -- many of them supported by state and local government arts councils -- are as enthusiastic about them as they claim to be. The idea that the arts will wither away if the NEA goes away is risible. Distilled to its essence, the argument for the NEA is: Art is a Good Thing, therefore a government subsidy for it is a Good Deed. To appreciate the non sequitur, substitute "macaroni and cheese" for "art."

Lovable Llamas - Meet & Greet
► Saturday @ 11:30 & 3:00, Sunday @ 11:30 & 2:00
People often ask, what do you do with a pet llama? These highly social and intelligent animals love to spend time with you and, like dogs, need fun activities to keep them from getting bored.
Sarah Nicholls from Fat Chance Ranch has trained their llamas to appear in television shows and commercials, and says that you can pretty much do anything with llamas that you do with your dog. Llamas protect other animals out in the field and are extremely aware and curious so they know when something is amiss. They will even chase away coyotes and stray dogs and let an alert out to warn the other animals, so many ranchers employ their llamas as 'watch llamas'. You can take llamas for walks, clicker train them, and if you let them in your house, like the family dog, they will make themselves comfortable and look for a good scratch. Come and meet & greet these amazing animals!
Snakes, Lizards and More - Oh My!

It sure is easy to pick up those innocent looking Fat Quarters but they can add a fair bit of yardage to the stash especially when there is no real plan for their use.
I have found a project that will use up about 26 to 28 of those FQ's. It is a Postage Stamp Quilt and there is a group of people signed up for this online project. Check it out at Handmade by Heidi. Now, I hope I can find enough 'background' in my stash to make this. It would be a bit counter productive if I had to go out now to buy 6.5 meters of plain to use for it. I will be hunting through the boxes and totes to see what I can come up with.

Male Victims of Domestic Violence
Ever since I began writing about domestic violence some readers asked why I didn't include male victims of domestic violence in my information. Frankly, the reason was that I didn't find much information about that side of it except as it related to male children and I included that information in my book. There is now more information available about male victims of domestic violence such as husbands and boyfriends so I will be researching that topic and write about it here. So, if you have questions related to domestic violence in any way please post them here and I will research and answer your questions and provide referrals when available.
If you are a male who has been a victim of domestic violence and would be open to an interview please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will contact you. Also, please know that even though domestic violence shelters are for women and children, there is help available for male victims. Call the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence hotline at 800-799-7233 for assistance.
Home Should Be SAFE: My Journey from then to now
I didn't start out to be a writer. I didn't even think very seriously about a career even though I was an honor student in high school. I certainly never thought I'd be writing about domestic violence. But, the path my life took made it imperative that I write about my life experiences as related to domestic violence.
At the age of 19 I married a man I met in my church after a six month courtship. I found out all too soon that he was not the man I thought. Within months after our marriage the cycle of violence began even though it would be many years, after the divorce, before I even knew what that term meant. Finally, the abuse became intolerable for both my children and I so I obtained a divorce with the help of Legal Aid.
Four years after the divorce I was finally able to receive God's healing and deliverance. I began journaling to get all the pain out because people had tired of listening to me and more than one said that I should "just get over it and on with it." They didn't know what it was to live in fear in your own home. You can't just "get over it and on with it" quite that easily.
That journaling developed into Bible studies that I taught in my local church. Then I began writing for local newspapers and later for denominational magazines. One of the main topics of many of my articles was domestic violence. As I studied and researched, interviewed and wrote, all my information began to take form into something larger than I ever expected.
About 2004 I realized that I had accumulated all that I needed; the new information I was finding was merely a duplicate of what I already had. I began to put together what I thought would be a simple booklet to give to the church to help them deal with domestic violence victims in their churches. In 2009 I realized I had to finish my book and for a number of reasons I quit my job and concentrated on my book. Although I eventually had to return to work I had finished my book.
After going over it carefully I hired a writer/editor friend of mine to do a professional edit. I sent out requests for formal endorsements for the book and received very favorable ones. I submitted book proposals to traditional publishers and one showed interest but then the economic crash hit and they were unable to move forward. After much prayer and deliberation I decided to self-publish.
The challenge with self-publishing was that I didn't have extra money to pay the publishing expenses. So, I took it one step at a time. The push came in 2010 when my church held an Author Sunday to promote authors within the congregation. In order to participate I printed up the few copies I could afford and sold all of them that day and took orders for more. Later an editor I wrote for referred me to his book packager and graphic designer and I was able to print paper back copies of the book to sell. Almost everyone who has read the book, even total strangers, has given me positive feedback.
This week I reached another milestone with my book. I purchased my ISBN number and bar code. My book is now in the Licking County Public Library in Licking County, OH. Very soon I will have it on Amazon and some independent book stores.
Check back often for updates on the publication and distribution of my book, which can be purchased from my website.

When looking for a summer shoe with colossal height, consumers should look no further than Y.R.U's 'Everest Leopard Platform.' This dynamic piece of footwear features a chunky platform and a recognizable design.
The 'Everest Leopard Platform' mirrors the design of the iconic Birkinstock sandal. However, unlike the popular Germane sandal, this funky shoe features a front platform that is 3 1/2 tall while the back is a mere 3 inches. This shoe runs true to size and the upper is made of vegan leather as well as vegan suede.
For added style and fun, the 'Everest' platforms features a fierce leopard print along the straps which is accented by black buckles. The huge platform is considered an Eva bottom and constructed of cork material.

i find myself thinking how epic my life is lately and how i have learned so many important ways to improve my well being | i wanted to share a few important realities.
when i say clusters i mean the clutter that lives within your brain or even within your life that is unnecessary. the little thoughts that over indulge your very core and make you feel as though life is unattainable and unmanageable. i have always seen myself as a victim of bad luck but the reality is life isn't about luck or good fortune | it is about how you make your happiness work for the reality you live in. the question to ask yourself is | how can you make your life real and feel as though nothing can stop you?
never mind the outside environment, never mind the people who never believe in what you do or say and never mind that no matter what you do in a day to bring your happy forward there is always something or someone that gives you that negative aura that tries to bring you down.
find your happy place | be in the moment | remember where you are and what you are doing to have a more sane life | take time out for yourself and enjoy the little things and appreciate the effort you put into your wellness.

Not so long ago while having dinner I was told that nowadays going to Cambodia is a waste of time… Conversation subject was "places that are still authentic" in SE Asia, which I guess meant places, where influence of tourism is non existent or barely visible and local population still lives in their bamboo huts in poverty, unaware of the size of the world.
If out of "lack of time" you decide to take one of the mainstream guidebooks and lay down your trip schedule along with what's worth and what's a "must see" pointed out there, I agree. Just stay home and watch documentary about the place. But this is true for everything in life, if you won't put minimum of effort into it, results will never be satisfying (guidebook is not an effort, it's making it easy for yourself).

Yup you must be wondering, 3 Idiots is not an Animated Movie, Why would I refer it to animators.. Guys, I think you will agree that Animation is acting, Animation is Story telling also Animation is timing.. The movie is just too perfect in these areas.. its a complete study.
After hunting a lot for the tickets, we ultimately ended up getting them at a sub standard Movie Screen Near by.. The crowd was also not so good... so it added up on the experience as we entered the hall with a bit of hesitation.. Some portions of the roof torn.. We figured the EXITS first, just in case a fire broke out..we would rush to save ourselves.. :) (We really did that:)
Now the Movie started.. What I love about the movie was the portrayal of characters. I am so impressed now a days with the way indian cinema is working.. I really loved.. ROCKET SINGH.. Its an awesomne example of Character Portayal and connecting the story at the end. I just thought it was gr8 and then I watched 3 idiots today... and I have no words..
The script was taken from a book by Chetan Bhagat, Five Point Someone. Then fairly elaborated and edited to make it a perfect movie. Characters are so well played. Aamir is a great actor... But I never knew that R Madhawan cud be soooo good. Thr is a scene in the movie whn he get a letter from some internationally celebrated photographher, he preached.. This scene is a must hav reference guys.. its superb..
His excitement and conflict with in.. is one of the best ever pieces of acting.. I have ever watched.. The movie is Full of Humour, and lot of Heroic journeys in thr.. which makes ur pulse go wild... Its a fantastic Movie and a must watch..Also the best part is phasing.. How the timing gets increased the the movie speeds along with emotions.. Its like a wireless connection with the audience.. u feel so tied into movie...

If your child is experiencing issues in math and his grades are not up to the mark, you ought to consider math tutoring. If you realize what to search for in a decent math tutor, the Internet can give an astounding asset to math educational support. Getting your child the math help required today can have a major effect tomorrow. Look toward the future with math tutoring.
Math tutoring is about the future. As your child advances through school, the majority of the math skills adapted tomorrow will rely on upon the math concepts educated today. For instance, you can't figure out how to multiply without comprehending the principles of multiplication. Along these lines, if math is difficult now, the subject will just turn out to be all the more baffling as time advances.
In any case, with Darwin math tutor, your child can get the math help expected to pick up the math skills important to keeping adapting new math concepts with certainty. Perhaps, it will just take periodic math homework exhortation; possibly your child will profit by support of math principles and coaching after school each day. You essentially need to find a source that offers different tutoring options.

Our second full day on P.E.I. was spent driving up the to North Coast of the island.
Prince Edward Island National Park is divided into three sections. We headed to the most Easterly region first called Greenwich which was added to the National Park in 1998 as a large area of protected dunes. The North Coast of P.E.I. suffers from coastal erosion particularly during heavy winter storms so additional coastline has been added while the original areas of park are gradually reducing in size.
We get our first views of the dunes from the land side.
A boardwalk across the sensitive marshes provides access to the coastal side of the dunes.
Views of the marsh named Bowley Pond
David on the boardwalk over Bowley Pond
Mum and Dad in the same location
A short walk later the trail climbs up over the dunes and the sea (well strictly Gulf of St. Lawrence) comes into sight.
We were very lucky with another lovely weather day on P.E.I. and spending it walking and viewing the gorgeous coastline was perfect. Views along the coastline at Prince Edward Island National Park (Greenwich).
After taking in the views here we return along the boardwalk as it winds it's way back through the dunes and marsh towards the parking lot.
Mum and Dad on the boardwalk.
We return to the car and drive West along the Northern edge of the island. The countryside is typically rolling hills, farmland and small waterside villages anchored by a church or two.
After stopping for lunch at the Dune Cafe & Studio in Brackley Beach we continue West in our search for the red sand & cliffs that PEI is well known for.
It isn't long before we find them, our first views here just outside the village of North Rustico.
From here we took Gulf Shore Parkway along the coast and there were numerous great viewing locations of the pretty red coastline.
The cliffs along this side of the coast come with warning signs as they're unstable due to erosion so you shouldn't stand too close to the edge.
A large cormorant colony.
More views of the coastline
Back in the car driving towards Cavendish we meet a very tame red fox
And a relative
We pass by the Green Gables House which is the setting for the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables.
To the small town Cavendish is the most Westerly and original section of the Prince Edward Island National Park. We park the car and walk to the coastal section of this park for our final water views of our day on the P.E.I. coast.
Mum and I at the Cavendish section of Prince Edward Island National Park.
As we leave the park we meet yet another fox, before driving back to our house in Charlottetown.

The Grammys are bringing Justin back!
Justin Timberlake was just announced as the latest performer set to grace the Grammy stage on February 10. It's his first TV performance since announcing his new album, The 20/20 Experience. And after teasing us with a private showcase during Super Bowl weekend, it's a relief knowing we'll only have to wait a week for his public comeback.
JT isn't nominated for any awards, but if his last Grammy performance in 2009 is any indication, then we're in for a treat: In '09 he handled piano and vocals alongside T.I. on "Dead and Gone," and joined forces with Al Green, Keith Urban and Boyz II Men for a supergroup rendition of "Let's Stay Together."
With less than two weeks until show time, the six-time Grammy winner joins other recently announced performers, including Elton John, Miranda Lambert, Jack White, Carrie Underwood, The Lumineers, Dierks Bentley and Ed Sheeran.
There's only one question remaining: Will JT wear a "Suit & Tie"?

BERKELEY — Berkeley may become the nation's first city to officially proclaim Bisexual Pride Day.
If approved by the City Council on Tuesday, Bisexual Pride Day would be celebrated on Sept. 23 when there are bisexual pride events in Los Angeles, Boston and other cities.
The San Francisco Chronicle (bit.ly/S4L00p) says Berkeley is apparently the first city in the county to officially proclaim Bisexual Pride Day.
It will be separate from the worldwide gay, bisexual and transsexual events every June.
Councilman Kriss Worthington proposed officially recognizing Bisexual Pride Day, saying bisexuals have complained for years that they are shunned by the gay community because they are considered fence-sitters.

The photos:
The past few days I've been having hagelslag and strawberries on toast for breakfast. It's incredibly delicious. Healthy is debatable, but delicious for sure.
I sent off six postcards to various parts of the world earlier this week. Oregon, England, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas...there's a very high likely-hood that at least one person won't get theirs, because I have a tendency to write addresses wrong.
We stopped by Speedway today to get an 89 cent slushie. I got the big one. 44 ounces of blue raspberry delicousness. I have a killer headache now; I'm blaming it on the high sugar content.
I have photos of my wall uploaded and ready to go, but for the past two days I've been trying to write a post to go with them and nothing.
There's not much going on with me. I miss France, and the heat is sucking my energy.

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." (James 1:27 ESV)
We believe that caring for orphans is an important outworking of our faith in Jesus Christ. Because every believer in Jesus has himself been adopted into God's family (Eph. 1:5), caring for orphans is a beautiful picture of pure and undefiled religion that reveals the gospel. The gospel says all have fallen short of God's perfect standard, but God, in mercy and love, saves and redeems sinners to become children of God who enjoy all the privileges of being adopted into God's family. Similarly, caring for orphans is one way we can be an extension of God's grace and love in the lives of at-risk and vulnerable children.
At College Church, we have various avenues for you to be involved in caring for orphans. Find out more about each of these opportunities. Contact email@example.com.
Safe Families for Children is an international organization powered by volunteers who want to keep children in vulnerable situations out of foster care. Safe Families partners with parents who are going through a crisis (e.g., incarceration, emotional or mental needs, financial instability) by providing temporary homes for their children, usually between one to two months. The end goal of these temporary homes is always reunification of the family. College Church is a participating church in Safe Families ministry, and many of our congregants lovingly receive these vulnerable children.
Visit safe-families.org for more information.
To participate in the College Church Safe Families network, receive encouragement or provide practical help to families currently hosting a child, contact email@example.com.
Recent statistics suggest there are 17,920 children in foster care in Illinois and 3,347 of these children are waiting for adoptive families (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Children's Bureau.) Many children in foster care have experienced abuse and neglect and have never known a stable family upbringing. By welcoming these children into our homes, whether for a week or a year, we display Christ's love for the ones who often feel most invisible.
Here are some resources for foster care in Illinois:
Illinois Department of DCFS: www.illinois.gov/dcfs/
Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois: www.lcfs.org/foster
With over 18 million children domestically and internationally who need a family and a home, the church has a unique opportunity to demonstrate the gospel by adopting children into families. For others, our role may be to come alongside those who are pursuing adoption with prayer, encouragement and practical help. There is also a great opportunity to come alongside families who have already adopted and are in need of practical care and support.
College Church also provides financial assistance for families in the church pursuing both domestic and international adoption. See the Caroline Adoption Fund.
College Church recognizes that finances can often be a significant roadblock for families seeking to adopt. The Caroline Adoption Fund—administered by Lifesong for Orphans—is a College Church fund that provides limited financial assistance to those at College Church in pursuit of domestic and international adoption. These funds are provided by College Church congregants who seek to encourage and assist others in pursuing adoption at College Church.
The Caroline Adoption Fund is named after the late Caroline Hoch, the adopted granddaughter of pastor emeritus R. Kent Hughes.
To apply or find out more information about the Caroline Adoption Fund, contact email@example.com.
