Jim Karpowitz, Division of Wildlife Resources Big Game Coordinator, announced at the recent Regional Advisory Council meeting that there will be changes coming to the big game proclamation. For the year 2004, the changes for the mule deer section of the proclamation will be several wording changes only, but for the elk section, there will be an extensive overhaul of the proclamation format.
The elk permit system is very complicated and needs simplification without hurting the quality of the hunts and herds. Dropping the AR 301 category will add fairness, consistency and simplicity to the process. It will also spread the hunter pressure over three seasons and allow for increased permit numbers in the future. Another advantage will be to increase odds in the drawing. One disadvantage to this proposal would be that archery hunters would lose some permits and will be subject to the points system in the future.
Also dropped would be the ML 300 category. The advantages and disadvantages would be the same as the AR 310, but would apply to the muzzleloaders.
As for the distribution of the permits, the number would be on a split, 25 percent for archers, 65 percent for rifle hunters and 10 percent for the muzzleloaders and there would be no auxiliary permits.
When the proposal was put to the RAC, the board decided to approve the changes in the proclamation with the exception of the split being 25/50/10/15, with the 15 percent being any weapon permits.
The mule deer proclamation will see only small wording changes with the numbers of permits to be set in the spring. The DWR suggested that 15 percent of the permits be set aside for youth hunters.
Bill Bates, regional wildlife program manager explained one major change in the region. That is to the Dolores Triangle hunting unit. Due to conflicts with the Colorado rifle hunters and the Utah muzzleloaders, the dates of the hunts will be changed to avoid the conflict.

I've recently read "Unconditional Parenting" by Alfie Kohn, and I definitely agree with all the major points he makes. The section on praise was especially interesting to me, as I feel I was raised to be a "praise junkie" and me own knee-jerk reaction to just about everything DS (24 months) does or says is "great!" or "wow!". I suppress all these comments and try to describe what he did or say nothing etc...but I have a question about saying "thank you" to him - if it could have the same effect on him that praising him could because I think I sometimes say thank you as a way to slightly manipulate him in the same way praising him would. That is, he does something that makes my life easier and I say "thank you" - I am careful to say it in a casual, non-excited, non-praising tone of voice, just as I would thank anyone else for making my life easier in some way (for example, handing me something I asked him to give me) so in that way, I am treating him as I would anyone else (any adult or child) but part of me is probably thanking him to try to reinforce him obedience and I hope he is not picking up on that in any way.....any ideas about this? I try not to over-do the thanking either but in general I think I tend to thank people a lot (as well as apologize a lot). Well, would love to hear any feedback on this. Thanks. Oh, also, now he says "thank you" to me every time he gives me something (perhaps an indication that I have been thanking him too much or just another instance where he is imitating me/what I usually say in that situation - something he tends to do a lot...
No announcement yet.
saying "thank you"

HI there ... I love this book too. I try try not to praise.. although other family members do... but there you go.
With the Thank You, I remember reading, that saying thank you is fine, you are not judging the child in any way. Also, I remember is saying that you can describe how it helped... oh, this saved me from picking up the toys, or it saved me putting the banana peel in the trash... etc. There is no "good job, good girl/boy, or you are sooo helpful!" they hear how it helped and then they make their own mind up about how that was useful or not. I second guess myself all the time and sometimes, as I human, slip in to the over thanking but don't worry, the premise is there!

I LOVE Kohn, and I'm very familiar with his work. That said...I say thank you to my kids all the time! I think it's a great substitute for blanket praise...those times when you want to acknowledge their effort without getting into the specifics and details of what exactly you notice/ appreciate about it, "Thank you," is a great place to start. It's a very different message than, "good boy/ girl." And it even allows you elaborate if you want to: "Thank you for..." Or just leave it at "Thanks."
I also think it's OK to get excited about children's achievements with a "wow" or a "yay" or a "you did it!" You are genuinely excited for them and you're teaching them to be excited for themselves! Again, that's not the same as an enthusiastic but very generic "good job!". You're celebrating with them, not rewarding them with verbal praise.
I think Thank You is a wonderful thing to tell our children. I don't view it as praise, but a general nicety. I tell my daughter Thank You all the time when she has done something that is helpful. I think it does reinforce behavior, the same way it does when you tell anyone. If I thank you for helping me you feel like wow you appreciated what I did, I'm willing to do that again. I love that my daughter Thanks me all the time to, which I really like. She will thank me for making her dinner, or thank us for getting her coat or her milk etc. It feels good to receive a thank you, and I think the only way to instill a sense of gratitude in our children is to model it. Why shouldn't we thank them for making our lives easier. I don't think Thank You is a word used enough in our world.

I think the issue is manipulation. If you feel like it would be manipulative to say it, then don't. If you are genuinely grateful for what she has done, tell her. This is often the hair that gets split over Kohn. I don't think he means you can't genuinely express yourself, it's just that so many of us have been manipulated by praise that we don't even recognize when we're doing it to others. So the answer lies within you. You are the best judge of whether you are being your true self.

I also think it's perfectly fine to say thank you. Would you not say thank you to an adult who helped you? Of course not, so you wouldn't want to treat your child with less respect than you would give any adult.
I agree with Kelly that getting excited over your child's accomplishments, is acceptable as well. I think it reinforces to them the fact that they did accomplish something and that builds self esteem and confidence.
Thank you! I really appreciate all the feedback on this issue. Good to hear opinions about getting excited over your child's accomplishments, too. After reading Kohn's book, I was beginning to think I should never say "wow" again! Just posting this thread has made me more aware of when I say "thank you" and it's true, I say it to him in situations where I would also say it to an adult, so there's nothing wrong with that! We've recently moved to a place where there is no LLL and no AP support group of ANY KIND so I really, really appreciate all the replies to the various threads I've posted recently!!!!
i haven't read the whole book yet (Unconditional Parenting), but i am familiar with the philosophy and i agree with it. i also believe that philosophies like this need not be taken to the extreme in order to receive some or all of the benefit. for example, "YAY!!!! You just ate your dessert! (ice cream)" or "WOW! Look at you! You just walked across the room! (to a kid who's been walking for a year)" are, to me, over-praising or empty praise. however, "Whoa! You just read your first word! Awesome! How do you feel? Are you proud of yourself?!!" or "Yay! You just walked across the room! (to an 11 month old who just took his first steps)" or "Hooray! You just ate broccoli! (to a kid who hasn't eaten anything but pizza and chicken nuggets for the past 6 months)"--these types of things seem perfectly natural and acceptable to me, because they are genuine reactions from genuine feelings for genuine accomplishments. i think one of the wonderful parts of the human experience is celebrating with each other. it's the empty, disingenuous, or manipulative praise that should be eliminated, for sure, so that the real praise will actually mean something to them. to me, the whole "thank you" thing falls into the manners category. like anything else, go ahead and model for her the manners you want her to end up having; i don't see anything wrong with that.
I think that Thank you is some instances is fine, if it genuine as others have said. If you want to make you child feel more connected you may say something like "You cleaned up your toys! That really helped out the family" to have your child see they are valued and connected to the fam. That would make it less about your possible manipulation and more about being a cooperative part of the unit. Just got that idea from Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline.

Hazel Gardiner, Metals Conservator, British Museum
For those who have been following the progress of the conservation of the Beau Street Hoard on the blog, I am delighted to announce that all the coins – around 17,500 of them – have now been cleaned to required identification standards, that is, to the point where the legend and significant features are readable. Conservator Julia Tubman carried out the bulk of this work on the c.17,500 coins contained within the hoard. Additional work has been carried out on a small number of these coins and conservation has also been carried out on c.400 coins that were initial finds from the outer edges of the hoard, before the hoard proper was unearthed. This last group of coins were in particularly poor condition and most required substantial chemical and manual cleaning. These coins were held in numbered paper envelopes, some of which corresponded to small find numbers allocated when the hoard was excavated.
The soil block that held the hoard has now been dismantled and returned to the archaeologists who carried out the initial excavation for final sifting and checking for palaeoenvironmental remains: that is, material that might provide further contextual information about the coin hoard.
At the time of Julia's last post, she reported that one of the coin clusters (bag 4), had been scanned. As with the other coins in the hoard, the clustered corroded coins retained the positions that they would have held in the bag in which they had been deposited. In this instance the bag shape was particularly well preserved. The initial scan was carried out at the British Museum by Martin Cooper of the Conservation Technologies Unit, National Museums Liverpool (NML). The scan data was used to create a 3D computer model, which was then 3D printed to make a replica of the coin bag using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), a process that uses a laser to fuse particles of plastic or other material into the required three-dimensional form. A plaster cast was then made from the print and this was painted to resemble the original coin cluster, by conservators at NML.
The replica has proved very popular among visitors to the Roman Baths and was shown at a Beau Street Hoard community consultation event run by staff at the Roman Baths earlier in 2013. Members of Bath Ethnic Minority Senior Citizens Association (BEMSCA) were among those who handled the replica. As a three-dimensional record of the original form of the coin bag, which of course no longer exists now that the coins have been conserved, the replica is an excellent supplement to the information gathered about the hoard, an invaluable means of allowing people to gain some sense of the physicality of (at least part) of the hoard.
Further exciting news is the forthcoming analysis of what appear to be animal skin remains from the bags used to store the coins. In one of Julia's earlier posts she noted that traces of what appeared to be skin product, preserved by metal corrosion products, were found on the outside of each cluster of coins, suggesting that leather bags may have been used to house the coins. Professor Matthew Collins and colleagues at BioArCh (University of York), are hoping to extract collagen from the samples provided and to identify the species of animal skin used. Identification of the animal species will be made by peptide mass fingerprinting, an analytical technique for protein identification. We look forward to hearing the results of their investigations.

Although the final score of the Emery-Millard football game was not in Emery's favor at 36-27, the team left Fillmore knowing that they could compete against the topnotch foes in 2-A football. Emery fell behind 22-0 after the first quarter as they continued their bad habit of starting games slowly but the Spartans kicked it into gear and knocked Millard around the field.
Emery, despite that disastrous first quarter, outgained the Eagles 343 yards to 218 yards in the football game. Millard, a team that had allowed only one touchdown in three prior region games, allowed Emery into the end zone four times. Emery had opportunities to win this game but mistakes ultimately did the Spartans in.
Millard scored a touchdown in their first three offensive series of the night plus returned an interception for a touchdown early in the game as Emery found themselves down big right off the bat and it appeared no end was in sight.
But then the Spartans found themselves. Millard was limited to 70 yards in the ball game after those first three series.
The Spartans first offensive series ended on the first play as the Eagles picked off a pass and scored. Emery's next series ended with a punt after three plays as Emery could only gain eight yards in those three plays. That was Emery's only punt of the night as it turned out.
Emery started their next offensive series at their own 17-yard line. Cory Cox gained five yards up the middle, Jesse Winn gained 10 yards around the right side and Dominic Rondinelli gained three yards going left. Winn gained six, Cox gained three and then Cox gained another 12 yards to the Millard 44-yard line. Spencer Labrum then connected with a pass to David Dyer for 28 yards to the Millard 16-yard line. Winn ran for 14 yards and Emery had first and goal at the 2-yard line. Winn scored on a pass from Labrum and Emery had finally scored. More importantly, the offense began believing that they could play with this team.
Millard lost in the 2-A semifinals last year and the Eagles returned 10 of 11 starters on their offense. They are ranked high because they are a pretty good football team and now Emery knew that they could score against them.
After Emery scored on this 83-yard drive, the Spartans then scored on their next two first-half drives also. The next drive started at the Emery 22-yard line and culminated in a 2-yard run by Winn for another touchdown. Emery then went 51 yards in the final minute of the first half to score again. Winn had his third touchdown of the game on a 1-yard run.
In the drive that went 78 yards, Winn had the big gain as he picked up 38 yards on one run. Labrum completed a pass to Zac Bury for 14 yards plus Winn totaled 45 yards on the ground, Cox picked up 12 yards and Rondinelli picked up seven yards for Emery.
In the other drive, Winn threw a half back pass to Jake Bell that went for 40 yards for the big play in the drive. Labrum to Winn was good for six yards and Winn ran the ball twice before scoring. Emery trailed at the half 29-21 after being down 22-0.
Emery received the second half kick-off with the ball sailing into the end zone for a touchback and Emery started at their own 20-yard line. After gaining 10 yards, Emery threw another interception and Millard had the ball at the Spartan 25-yard line. It took the Eagles nine plays but they finally scored again. Interceptions by the Eagles turned out to be a key part of the game.
Emery responded by marching eight yards on their next drive to score again, this time on a two yard run by Cox. After a no gain run, Cox ran for six yards and an offside penalty against Millard gave Emery a first down.
A 15-yard run by Winn, four yards by Cox, two yards by Winn followed by eight yards by Winn gave Emery a first down in Millard territory. Another eight yards by Cox, an incomplete pass, a five yard run by Rondinelli, a seven yard run by Cox, a three yard pick up to Winn, four yards to Rondinelli, another run by Cox, two more by Winn and finally Cox scores.
Emery then had two series stall in Millard territory and the Spartans loss a heartbreaker. Bailey Faimalo had an interception in the game and Geren Payne led the Spartan defense with nine tackles. Cory Cox had six tackles along with Brett Sorensen and Jake Bell.
Emery will now host Gunnison this Friday night in their homecoming game at 7 p.m.

1. The Sage was just that, a Sage. He was strong enough to withstand Natural Energy, and had the mental discipline to become a true Sage. Just as with Naruto, this reflects more on his strength of character rather than his skill. He was just like Naruto; compassionate, wise, and gutsy.
2. The Sage did not need the Rinnegan to fight the Juubi; all he needed were Sealing techniques and Sage arts, both of which pre-dated what is known today as Ninjutsu. Written Seals were able to be activated with chakra, without humanity being able to actually perform complex handseals or manipulate the Nature/Shape of chakra. These were powers undiscovered until after the Sage absorbed the Juubi and unlocked its understanding of chakra, which he could then teach (at least to the extent that regular humans can perform it).
3. The Sage gained the Rinnegan from the Juubi, and also knowledge. The Sage could create life, but also apply the knowledge of Yin/Yang to comprehend the basics of every jutsu. He believed bestowing this knowledge could allow humanity to better itself. He probably didn't intend for it to be used to create a military system, but rather for practical applications or self-defense.
4. The Mokuton, as we know at this point, is the Juubi's power of creating life. It creates plants in the absence of the Yin (mental) counterpart from the Sharingan, but when combined, the complete "Yin/Yang" techniques can create animal life as well. When the Juubi spawned its "Zetsu-esque" army, it revealed its power to create living beings on a whim; these creatures are a more natural / primal version of Zetsu, as Zetsu was meant to be an artificial human and was created using a human's mind. I don't really view the Mokuton in terms of Wood Element, I just view it as raw Life Force manifested into a technique.... all of its unique properties stem from representing the highest level of mastery over life force, hence why it can grow to such massive scales instantly and can absorb chakra, as well. It awakened in Hashirama because only he had achieved the pinnacle of Senju phyiscal energies (and thus maximized the Yang power of the Juubi that had been handed down through that clan).
5. On the topic of this current chapter, Kishi is being lazy.. he can't conceive of ways for every character to shine if they all perform at their highest capability, so he dumbs some down, makes others more powerful, and has others simply stand aside.

William Raymond "Tim" Turner, 74, Pekin, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012, at Pekin Hospital.
He was born in Eldorado on Nov. 1, 1938, the son of Raymond Earl and Ruby Smith Turner. Tim graduated from Eldorado High School in 1956 and went on to earn a Bachelors degree in History from the University of Illinois in 1960 and later, a Masters in Education from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. After college, Tim served in the U.S. Army, stationed near Wiesbaden, Germany.
In 1964, he married the former Sandra Cooper of Eldorado, with whom he recently celebrated 48 years of marriage. They made their home in Eldorado for almost four decades. After his retirement from the Illinois Department of Employment Services, they moved to Pekin to be closer to family.
Tim was a long-standing member of Eldorado First Baptist Church where he served as an usher and Sunday School teacher. He was an avid history buff, with a particular interest in WWII that rivals the History Channel for attention to detail. He also enjoyed collecting coins and different types of guns.
He is survived by his wife Sandra; four children, Lisa (Carl) Cappabianca of Chatham, N.J., Tim (Heidi) Turner of Pekin, Dennis (Heidi) Turner of Nashville, Tenn., and Todd Turner of Phoenix, Ariz.; and five grandchildren, Daniel and Kirsten Cappabianca, Morgan Turner, and Aurora and Adam Turner.

What's New from COPS
Building a 311 System: A Case Study of the Orange County, Florida, Government Service Center
The establishment of 311 call systems in jurisdictions across the United States is relieving 911 emergency systems of the burden of handling calls that are not emergencies. This publication documents the experiences of Orange County, Florida, in organizing and putting into operation a multijurisdictional, nonemergency 311 telephone system. Topics discussed include the political, financial, and technological challenges involved in intergovernmental partnerships and interagency coordination. The publication also covers developing call routing and tracking mechanisms, staffing a 311 call center, and the role that the Orange County 311 system plays in hurricane emergency preparedness. The publication is available online only. www.cops.usdoj.gov/ric/ResourceDetail.aspx?RID=447
Promoting Effective Homicide Investigations
Although the national homicide rate has fluctuated, the homicide clearance rate has declined steadily, with a drop from 92 percent in 1961 to 61 percent in 2005. This decline is the result of a number of factors, including an increase in "stranger homicides," which are more difficult to solve than "acquaintance homicides."
During this same period, however, some police departments have maintained consistently high clearance rates. The 90 percent clearance rate of the San Jose, California, Police Department is partially attributable to its mandatory rotation policy, which requires specialized assignment detective to return to patrol every 5 or 6 years. The logic behind this policy is to maintain a patrol force that includes officers and sergeants with investigative training and experience.
This information is from a new resource, "Promoting Effective Homicide Investigations," which addresses changing trends in homicides and their influence on the declining clearance rate. The result of a collaboration between the COPS Office and the Police Executive Research Forum, this publication outlines practices, policies, and procedures that can increase the number of successful homicide investigations for law enforcement agencies. Law enforcement executives, administrators, investigators, and prosecutors will learn about the latest developments in eyewitness identification, videotaped interrogations, DNA, and cold case squads. Also included are examples from several departments that have implemented some of the highlighted practices. www.cops.usdoj.gov/ric/ResourceDetail.aspx?RID=446

Posted on 01/29/2010 9:49:10 AM PST by FutureRocketMan
WICHITA, Kan. A man who said he killed prominent Kansas abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in order to save the lives of unborn children was convicted Friday of murder.
The jury deliberated for just 37 minutes before finding Scott Roeder, 51, of Kansas City, Mo., guilty of premeditated, first-degree murder in the May 31 shooting death.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
And if you ask me, he should fry for premeditated murder.
He was 'pro-life' ??
There a some nuts here that see this guy as a hero.
First: Don't change the title of the article. The proper title is "Jury Finds Man Guilty of Murder in Kansas Abortion Provider's Death". Use it - those are the rules.
Second: Roeder admitted he did it. He claimed that he did it to save more babies from being slaughtered, but he admitted he did it.
Roeder did the crime, he'll do the time.
My opinion: A killer killed a killer. If we were to have people kill in disregard for the law - as bad as the law is - we'd have anarchy that would dwarf even the horror of abortion.
Of course. I can't wait to see some of the idiot replies on this thread.
Good call, murder is murder.
The only disgusting breach of justice I see here is Kansas's failure to apply the death penalty.
Give him the needle.
I don't understand what you mean...the prosecution had the biggest part of the case and proved it overwhelmingly.
Roeder confessed, but that isn't enough for a conviction....there was eyewitness, DNA, blood evidence etc.
Yes, he had to prove himself innocent. That's what happens when you put on an affirmative defense - the burden is on the defense not the prosecutor, which is as it should be in such cases.
By the way, the man is guilty as sin of murder in the first degree. You cannot use murder to justify the stopping of murder unless your life or the lives of other people is in imminent danger (a person according to the definition in the law is someone who has been born and taken a breath, and, in many jurisdictions, are no longer attached to the mother by the umbilical cord). Unfortunately a fetus is currently afforded no such protection. Until the laws are changed (and fat chance of that happening), fetuses will not be recognized as living persons.
I agree with you. See #3.
Doesn't qualify. Absent one of the aggravating circumstances outlined in the law, killing a single person doesn't warrant the death penalty in Kansas. The minimum he can get is life, eligible for parole in 2035.
This was the correct verdict.
The only question here is how much time he should get.
I would go for the very minimum amount allowed under the law if on the jury, but there is no question he was guilty.
I posted this a few minutes ago on a thread that was removed by the Moderator as duplicate, which linked to CNN instead of Fox.
Unintentional, I'm sure, but I find it ironic that this linked website has a large red title: CNN JUSTICE.
Yes, this is CNN-style justice all right. I think perhaps his lawyer failed in the jury selection process.
One quotation from Roeder that I think sums up his position: "There was nothing being done, and the legal process had been exhausted, and these babies were dying every day," Roeder said. "I felt that if someone did not do something, he was going to continue."
One can provide two justifications for what he did: 1) The right of self defense also may be expanded to include defense of your "neighbor." In this case, the defense of the innocent babies who would have been slaughtered by Tiller in the future.
2) Failure of the law to act. Tiller's operation would have been closed down for numerous violations of Kansas law if he had not bribed the politicians, including Kathleen Sebelius, and if he had not used his dirty money to oust an honest prosecutor and elect a Democrat (who subsequently resigned in disgrace).
Voluntary manslaughter would have been an alternate finding that the jury could have settled on. But evidently they didn't even bother to really deliberate the case. I'd say that the prosecutor did a good job picking this jury, perhaps with the judge's help.
This was entirely pre-meditated and therefore first degree murder.
The legal what if is what if he was killed in during the act of performing a late stage abortion? Would that protection or intense at the moment rage that wasn't pre-meditated be 2nd degree murder?
I'm not defending him or saying he should have done it a different way than he did but wondering under what conditions this wouldn't have been first degree murder.
I'll likely be banned for saying this, but....
If I had been on that jury, I'd voted Roeder "not guilty" because he stopped an arrogant mass murderer dead in his tracks.
In my humble opinion, Roeder's was tantamount to the actions of those heroic Czech freedom fighters in 1942 who gunned down the monster Reinhard Heyrich, the head of the dread RHSA, the driving force behind the Holocaust and "The Hangman of Prague."
The wrong man was on trial here. I can think of a long list of Leftist pro-abortion activists, judges and politicians who should be facing capital punishment for their role in the American Holocaust that has claimed over 30 million innocent lives since 1971.
What kills me(pardon the pun)is that the murder took place in a church.I'm anti-abortion but what he did was wrong,in every sense of the word.Tiller was scum,however,for performing late-term abortions,which is outright murder. I think a doctor would have to be sick and cold-hearted to perform such an abortion.In my mind the mother is no better,since she's allowing her infant to be murdered.It's not even up for debate;a partial-birth abortion is murder, plain and simple.
Premeditated murder should have gotten this nut case the death penalty.
"Unfortunately a fetus is currently afforded no such protection. Until the laws are changed (and fat chance of that happening), fetuses will not be recognized as living persons."
It sounds like you consider fetuses to be living persons. If so, do you believe he was morally justified though legally guilty of the crime?
All murderers should fry. But given that we usually only execute the most heinous of murderers, there is no reason why Roeder should be treated any differently than the average, run-of-the-mill murderer.
Er, the guy shot a man down in cold blood in front of dozens of witnesses, and admitted it later. Not sure how he could "prove his innocence" in this case....
Let's face it - Roeder committed murder, and was not "pro-life." Sure, the man he killed was a disgusting, reprehensible piece of human garbage, but that doesn't give Roeder the right to kill him.
Well, when the guy gets on the stand and admits he pulled the trigger, it kind of cuts down on deliberation time.
While many elements of this situation may remain in dispute for years to come, there is one thing of which we can be completely assured: George Tiller will not suck the brains out of another child or harvest their organs for profit any more.
It's not the approach I would take, but if you saw a man with an ax in a baby nursery, would you kill him to stop him from chopping up babies? I sure would.
So... if the babies were still in thw womb 3 days earlier, what is the differece?
I can see other options- since the ma with an ax is n IMMEDIATE threat but the oborion nurdered is only planning future murders of babies. Block accss to the building, buldoze it down, but don't kill him.
The only thing about this trial on the other hand is that they asked him why he did it but then would not let him answer.
If he said he did it because the voices from mars told him to then that would be acceptable- but the prosecuton objected to any statements about abortion procedures
This man saved baby lives, but shold not have done it this way.
Voluntary manslaughter would have been an alternate finding that the jury could have settled on.
Except for the glaring fact that Roeder's own testimony demonstrated premeditation. Voluntary manslaughter is, if I understand correctly, killing with no premeditation.
How could a jury possibly find him guilty of the lesser charge, given his testimony? The self defense angle in voluntary manslaughter still requires no premeditation to kill. And clearly, there was plenty of premeditation.
And that's why you wouldn't be let within 10 miles of any jury.
Do you think all murderers should be put to death? It's outrageous to compare what Roeder did to the type of murders that have resulted in the death penalty in recent decades.
Legally guilty, but morally justified.
Gee, since "fetus" is just the Latin word for "infant", does that make it okay for me to kill you as long as I say, "Well, it was only a homo hominus after all."?
Huh? He confessed.
Premeditated murder doesn't get 99.9% of those that commit it the death penalty so it surely shouldn't get someone that killed someone infanticide the death penalty.
Your argument is only valid if you favor all murderers getting the death penalty.
On the witness stand (and later on national TV) the guy confessed to every detail of the murder he committed including where in the head he shot Tiller. There is no defending premeditated murder.
"... there is one thing of which we can be completely assured: George Tiller will not suck the brains out of another child or harvest their organs for profit any more."
This may be relevant in an academic environment: however, in real life it has no practical impact.
Technically correct verdict. By the law, he was guilty.
Of course, Claus von Stauffenberg was also guilty of attempting to murder Adolf Hitler.
Playing devil's advocate here - If Roeder had shot a perp who was going to kill another person, one who was lucky enough to have made it out of the womb alive, would he have been found guilty of murder?
It didn't seem to harm Lon Horiuchi.
And that's why it wasn't a fair trial.
Tell us how your reasoning would apply in this ongoing case:
"The two women, Patricia Imani and Brianna Herrera, admit that they lay in the offramp from Interstate 5 in an effort to block the Strykers.
Both women said they should be found not guilty because they had to protest and although it was illegal, it prevented a greater harm.
We have an obligation to resist, not just a right to resist. That is what these protests have been about since we started to do the human blockades against the Strykers, Imani said."
How are you different than these two women? I can't see anny difference.
"Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich (7 March 1904 4 June 1942) was a high German Nazi official. He was SS-Obergruppenführer (General) and General der Polizei, chief of the Reich Main Security Office (including the Gestapo, SD and Kripo Nazi police agencies) and Stellvertretender Reichsprotektor (Deputy Reich-Protector) of Bohemia and Moravia. When the Nazis moved the headquarters of Interpol to Berlin in 1942, he was appointed and served as President of that international law enforcement agency. Heydrich chaired the 1942 Wannsee Conference, which discussed plans for the deportation and extermination of all Jews in German-occupied territory. He was attacked by Czech agents on 27 May 1942 sent to assassinate him in Prague. He died slightly over a week later from complications arising from his injuries."
I say the "good" abortionist was in the Heydrich league. He will not be missed. Justice has been served. I look forward to the day when the other abortionist monsters are tried by judge and jury.
That is not relevant to the failure of justice in this case; a different jury would have been equally unable to give him the death penalty under Kansas' soft-on-crime regime.
I know what the law says but the law does not recognize what the abortion doctor was doing was clearly and scientifically proven to be the murder of helpless innocents.
The law allowing abortion of these innocents is an inhuman atrocity of monumental proportions.
There have been laws throughout history that are not moral. The Nuremberg Nazi trials were all about holding people accountable for inhuman atrocities that can never be morally justified by claiming the atrocities were legal under governmental laws and required by the orders of leaders.
We humans MUST prevent atrocities and murders that violate fundamental moral law.
We are a morally bankrupt society to allow the murder of innocents.
May 31 was a happy day for many many children.
If the object was to prevent abortions on Monday, taking a baseball bat and breaking the doctor's hands would have prevented abortions in the immediate future and, depending on the injuries inflicted, may have prevented the doctor from ever performing an abortion again, without killing the doctor.
Fry 'em.
Premeditated killing him like this guy did would be making myself: judge, jury and executioner. Furthermore, the term 'murder' used so freely to justify murder is a legal technical term. What if Code-Pink or ANSWER started killing US soldiers because they are convinced that innocent Iraqi's were being murdered by americans(as some elected democrats irresponsibly claimed on TV) ??? They could claim the same bogus defense.
Is pro-life just a PR term? How does this look?
He should have tried temporary insanity or insanity.
Now this is more truth than the American people can stand.
And the fact that you and your ilk "rejoice" in Tiller's death tells more about you than you're willing to admit, and it's not a pretty picture. Tiller was a vile human being, but make no mistake—he was performing a LEGAL procedure, and the fact that you celebrate someone who went outside the law and murdered him in a house of God tells me your motives are not God's motives. Deal with that little tidbit. You have done the pro-life movement no favors.

Combing The Desert For Good Young Players
Leafs Nation Podcast
March 26 2012 09:32PM
Through the rough times that have been these past seven years, fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs have been forced to grasp at the straws for some traces of hope in an otherwise disappointing season. If the team is absolutely horrible, it's only reasonable that we turn our focus from the failure of the group to a few individual successes that make the wait for the playoffs (at least somewhat) bearable.
This week, Danny Gray and I take a look at a few of the Leafs' younger players, Carter Ashton, Matt Frattin, Nazem Kadri, and Cody Franson, to name a few, and assess what we've seen of them so far under new coach Randy Carlyle.
1. Intro + Unluck + Phil Kessel and the media
Interlude: "I'll Bring The Sun" by Jason Collett
2. Carter Ashton
Interlude: "Kashmir" by Led Zepplin
3. Matt Frattin
Interlude: "Les chemins de verre" par Karkwa
4. Nazem Kadri
Interlude: "Casse-cou" par Malajube
5. Cody Franson vs. Mike Komisarek + The Expendables
As usual, please leave any comments, questions, or suggestions at the bottom!
Tune in next week, as we'll be joined by The Goalie Guild's Justin Goldman, for a chat about the Leafs' goaltending, or lack thereof.

Wow, where did everyone go, am I toasted on love goggles or what?? the music is good but I can't even find the hostess, did she take off with Ben Bratt? But CzarinaAnya is still treading water in the deep end. Wow what powerful legs she has. Well Fumie and I are jumping in after long the walk to join her - even Funmie is impressed with CzarinaAnya beauty - and hope that Chika and George come around soon, what a twerp leaving Piel all alone like that. Great walk though, she is such a incredible lady. No expectations left unfulfilled here. I could listen to her all night.
Hey, where did Toni and my buddy Evan take off to?
Last edited by SeaniBu; 07-28-2006 at 11:53 PM.
(Johnny) Nope, Evan's gone off with Piel and Toni's in the water doing lifts with me. Hey girlfriend, not so high! Wow, you're stronger than you look! Are you sure you don't want to go into ice dancing?
Your turn, Czarina! Hey - somebody put on Dr Zhivago!
Watch, Seanibu, you're next. I bet you've never been lifted by a Czarina.
And then Fumie and I will show you guys the water-dancing performance of a lifetime. Not to be immodest or anything, but some people are going to be very sorry they left early.

Just had an inspection done on my home because we are selling it. The new owners had the inspection done and the inspector feels our expansion tank needs to be replaced. Apparently because of a slow drip the outside of the tank has rusted(the tank is 6 years old). They also would like "the vent replaced"???
Is this an excessive recquest? Are'nt those tanks an inch thick? I need help, I don't hear of these tanks being replaced that often. Thanks, Rich

|In response to Re: Slow Shower Drain
: I recently had a walk-in shower installed in the space previously occupied by a cast-iron bathtub. The new shower drains extremely slow, and I find myself standing in an inch or so of water during showering. A drain-cleaning company ran a cleaning snake through the floor drain all the way to the main sewer and said it was clean with no blockage. Their theory was that it was not vented properly, because of its location past the vent stack.
: What would be causing this new shower not to drain properly and quickly? More importantly, what would be a viable solution?

Two 12-year-old boys are suspected of taking 40 iPods, valued at $12,000, from Havana Middle School sometime during the month of July, according to Lt. Larry Smith of the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office.
Smith said it is unclear when the Department of Education-issued iPods were taken but a school employee noticed them missing July 27.
"We didn't have a clue until the employee gave us the names of three suspects. Two of them turned out to be a good suspects and the other one is a maybe," Smith said.
Johnny Williams, Gadsden County administrator, said has put seven county employees on notice that they will be laid off as of Sept. 1.
"As I have said before, this is not punitive. The county has to save money and there was some duplication of services. We thought it fair to put them on notice that their positions were under consideration for elimination," Williams said.
The individuals and positions that will be eliminated are:
• Wallisa Cobb, management analyst in the Department of Community Development
Bobby Matthew Dukes Jr., a 20-year-old Quincy man, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 3-month-old son, Bobby Marquez Dukes.
According to a report released by the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office, Dukes confessed July 28 to striking the baby's head on a wooden chair when the child would not stop crying.
Quincy Police Chief Ferman Richardson said no one knows exactly when illegal slot machines showed up in the city of Quincy, although he thinks it has only been in the last 6 to 8 weeks.
During the regular meeting of the Quincy City Commission Tuesday night, Commissioner Derrick Elias asked if there was paramutual betting going on in the city. Before Elias' inquiry, Richardson said he had no idea the machines were inside several local businesses.
Elias said he heard about the machines a month ago after a citizen asked him if the city was now allowing paramutual gambling.
Last week, as I was out having lunch, I witnessed something no woman should ever have to.
I saw a man in really tight knit pants. Pants that left nothing to the imagination. Pants that were, well, in a couple of words, too small. I've heard it said that clothes make the man. Not in this case. They can, however, make the man do lots of things he shouldn't.
After witnessing his, um, attire, I began to think about men and the clothing they wear, and I've been taking mental notes the past few days.
For the second time this year a young father has been charged with killing his infant child. In January, 18-year-old Kearse Raeshon Bradham was charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 2-month-old daughter. Last week, 20-year-old Bobby Matthew Dukes Jr. was also charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 3-month-old son.
• First Baptist Church in Quincy holds Sunday School each week at 9:45 a.m., followed by worship at 10:55. Sunday evening worship begins at 6 p.m. Sunday morning worship services are broadcast on Sunday events at 6 p.m. on 93.3 FM.
• Church services at Mt. Pilgrim Primitive Baptist Church are held the first, second and fourth Sundays at 11 a.m., and at 8 a.m. on the third Sunday of each month. Church school begins at 9:45 a.m. each Sunday morning.
Gadsden County 4-H is seeking 4-H alumni to help celebrate the 100th year of Florida 4-H. Call Sydney Pryer at 875-4682 or e-mail to email@example.com.
It was a field trip like nothing the 40 students from Florida A&M University's Black Male College Explorers program had ever experienced. At the request of program counselor Barry Young of Greensboro, Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young gave permission to show the students what it's like behind bars.
Young, along with corrections officers and inmates, didn't sugar-coat the facts as they told students the reality of jail.

A Balm When You're Expecting: Sometimes Pot Does the Trick
February 20, 2017
Deep venous thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep inside a part of the body. It mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh.
DVT; Blood clot in the legs; Thromboembolism; Post-phlebitic syndrome; Post-thrombotic syndrome
DVTs are most common in adults over age 60. However, they can occur at any age. When a clot breaks off and moves through the bloodstream, this is called an embolism. An embolism can get stuck in the brain, lungs, heart, or other area, leading to severe damage.
Blood clots may form when something slows or changes the flow of blood in the veins. Risk factors include:
Blood is more likely to clot in someone who has certain problems or disorders, such as:
Sitting for long periods when traveling can increase the risk of DVTs. This is most likely when you also have one or more of the risk factors listed above.
DVT mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh, almost always on one side of the body. The clot can block blood flow and cause:
Your doctor will give you medicine to thin your blood (called an anticoagulant). This will keep more clots from forming or old ones from getting bigger. These drugs do not dissolve clots you already have—that is accomplished by your body's natural blood system.
Heparin is usually the first drug you will receive.
Depending on your medical history, fondaparinux may be recommended by your doctor as an alternative to heparin.
A drug called warfarin (Coumadin) is usually started along with heparin.
When you are taking warfarin, you are more likely to bleed, even from activities you have always done. If you are taking warfarin at home:
Newer blood thinning medicines that are taken by mouth are being developed. Your doctor may recommend one of these for you.
You will be given a pressure stocking to wear on your leg or legs, along with other discharge instructions. A pressure stocking improves blood flow in your legs, and reduces your risk for complications from blood clots. It is important to wear it every day.

Posted on 11/11/2011 8:07:59 AM PST by Engraved-on-His-handsEdited on 11/11/2011 8:35:02 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
DETROIT A group that considers Islam one of the problems facing the U.S. is planning a 24-hour Christian rally in Detroit.
The prayer event, known as TheCall, starts Friday night at city's NFL stadium.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
Maybe they are afraid the Christians are going to chop their heads off../s
Oh, that's right, that's what THEY do..
Good. Need more of this. I don't really care who it offends.
Deabornistan must have Orville Hubbard rolling in his grave.
We can only hope that Pamela Geller is speaking......
Exactly. F those muzzies.
After what they did on 9/11, I AM the one offended taking off my shoes when I board the plane. They are the ones who have placed us on permanent 'edge'. AP and their terrorist-kiss ass stories..
Deus vult, habibi. Deus vult.
I'd recommend they return to the comforts of home where your friendly neighborhood mullah handles all your conflicts ~ unless, of course, you are murdering somebody.
If they don't like it, they can return to the turd-world hellholes from whence they came.
Reasonable, really.
When muslims have a big religious rally, they get all riled up and go riot and kill some Jewish people and maybe some Christians.
Muslims coming back from Haj in airports (going on now) are, by far, the most violent in small ways and do things like single out Jewish travlers from punches in the back of the head before running away into the crowd.
They expect similar treatment.
Big fk'n deal. They're always offended.
guess it does not matter to them that the attendees will also be praying for Muslims
islam is the religion of pigs.
biggest problem in the world: overreaction to the violence of Muslims
They should be nervous.
They should NEVER be made to feel anything BUT nervous, after 9-11.
This is OUR country.
The mere existence of Christians is enough to put the Muslim Community on edge.
I learned everything I need to know about islam on 9/11
PCUSA, Methodists, Episcopalians, ECLU to name a few, probably. All the dwindling denominations.
"...PCUSA, Methodists, Episcopalians, ECLU to name a few, probably. All the dwindling denominations..."
All the ones that will roll over and meekly submit to Dhimmitude. They're not your Countrymen. They're much, much less.
Deus Vult indeed, FRiend.
Yes, we need to stand up against them.
Push back is a bitch.
All the more reason and proof "You must be born again".
Satan's religion claims us from birth. Just like Socialists.
Are you serious or did you forget sarcasm tag?
What they cannot grasp and what they fear:
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2 (KJV)
Is the church of Laodecia trying to open the door to Jesus who continues to knock? In that case i ask all, please pray for our nation, it's no longer a joke, this is a crisis, a serious one as bad as the days prior to the Crusades and yet this time the muslim hordes and their 57 states and growing are now launching a relentless murder uon the whole world. Detroit, needs our prayers, as do all churches and Christians through out the world.
Thanks Engraved-on-His-hands.

Oak Creek boys swim
It's a new look all around for the Knights as they graduated 10 seniors off a good team last season and will have a new head coach in Joe Schoen.
Schoen, whose team opened its season with a 106-78 Southeast Conference loss to Racine Park on Nov. 29, will be helped out by assistant Jessica Fellows and diving coach Brian Verfuerth.
"We will be looking to redevelop the team," said Schoen. "We have graduated quite a few good swimmers last year (10 in total). This season we gained quite a few 'never swam before' swimmers so it will be interesting to see how they develop."
The Knights still have a healthy roster of close to 50 swimmers out this winter, including 16 sophomores and 10 freshmen.
Expected leaders this winter include senior Adam Hock and juniors Justin Sporleder, Jason Wnuk, Jerry Ryan and Dan Horner.
In the dual with Park, Sporleder earned a first in the 200 individual medley (2:28.1) while Hock won the 50 free in 25.23. Seconds went to Wnuk in the 200 free (2:12.91), Hock in the 100 free (56.38), Ryan in the 500 free (6:38.6) and Sporleder in the 100 backstroke (1:04.29).
Horner was third in diving (148.25 points) as was Wnuk in the 100 fly (1:07.03).
Oak Creek's junior varsity won the meet 96-52. The Knights will visit border rival Franklin for a dual at 4:30 p.m. Dec. 6 and then will take part in the Franklin Invitational on Dec. 8.
Greendale wrestling
A group of eight lettermen boosts the prospects for the Panthers this season.
They are seniors Sam Walton at 145 pounds, Jake Rosen (152) and Dustin Donald (170); junior Jared Rosen (113) and sophomores Tommy Welch (120), Eric Martinson (138), Andy Rohde (195) and Alex Rohde (heavyweight).
"With only losing one senior and a good nucleus returning, I expect to have a really good season," head coach Robert LaPlante said. "We do still have a young team, so we will go through some growing pains."
Greendale opened the season with a 43-21 Woodland Conference dual triumph over Greenfield. Winners were Jared Rosen at 113 (pin), Welch at 120 (pin), sophomore Ronnie Weber at 126 (11-9 decision), sophomore Chris Jankowski at 132 (15-4), Walton at 145 (pin), Donald at 170 (pin), Andy Rohde at 195 (pin) and junior Manfred Lopez-Prado at 220 (pin).
The Panthers then finished fifth at the Kimberly Invitational on Saturday. Walton won at 145 and Jake Rosen took third at 152, while fourths were earned by Jared Rosen (113) and Welch (120).
Greendale boys basketball
After a disappointing 75-64 loss to Greenfield on Nov. 27, the Panthers came back with a 93-64 romp over St. Francis on Friday night.
Jordan Perez pumped in 35 points and pulled down seven rebounds to continue his fabulous start to the season.
"He really sets the tone with his leadership," head coach Ryan Johnsen said. "He attacks the basket and is active on defense. I think he is one of the most underrated players in the state."
Josh Michaels added 17 points with four 3-point field goals and Josh Ringelberg put in 10 points off the bench.
"Defensively, we made adjustments," Johnsen said, "and offensively, we pushed the ball up the floor."
The Greenfield game was a different story.
"Greenfield played well," Johnsen said, "but we came out without much energy and enthusiasm. I think our inexperience showed."
Perez led with 27 points, while Cameron Rowe had 11 and Peter Pekar 10.
The Panthers, who began the week at 2-1 in the Woodland Conference and 2-2 overall, visit Cudahy at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7. They then welcome Shorewood at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 11.
Whitnall wrestling
A rebuilding job awaits the Falcons this season after they lost eight seniors from last year's squad.
"It will definitely be a youth movement this year, as we will start nine sophomores and a freshman in most matches," head coach John Quinlan said.
Whitnall only has two seniors in captains Zach Barnhart at 170 pounds and Zach Price at 160 pounds, and the only returning WIAA sectional qualifier is sophomore Anthony Senthavisauk (106).
The Falcons went 2-3 at the Tom Manley Duals in East Troy on Saturday, upsetting the host school, 35-33, and topping Union Grove. They lost to rated foes West Allis Central and Harvard (Ill.), along with Green Bay Southwest, 39-38. Barnhart and Senthavisauk both went 4-1.
Whitnall dropped its Woodland Conference opener to Pewaukee, 42-19, on Nov. 28. Senthavisauk (106) and sophomore Blake Leslie (126) both posted pins.
Whitnall boys swimming
The Falcons downed the combined Wauwatosa squad in their opening dual meet of the 2012-13 season.
Winners were Jack Larson in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly, David Monteilh in the 50 freestyle, Ben Hinson in the 100 freestyle and Jake Hodel in the 100 breast stroke.
The 200 medley relay team of Hinson, Hodel, Larson and Monteilh also won.
Whitnall boys basketball
Austin Hurst tallied a game-high 18 points and Danny Weymier added 13 points, but the Falcons dropped a tough 56-54 decision to rival Greenfield on Friday.
Whitnall trailed 34-25 at the half but outscored the Hustlin' Hawks 21-14 in the third quarter to come within 48-46. The Falcons also led 54-52 late in the game but Greenfield's Ricky Santiago connected on a layup and hit two free throws to pull out the game.
Nathan Schaefer and Sam Mentkowski each added seven points for Whitnall, which fell to 1-2 in the Woodland Conference East Division and 2-3 overall.
Whitnall also lost, 73-62, to Brown Deer on Nov. 27 despite 27 points from Mitch Brault and 10 by Mentkowski. Brault hit five 3-point field goals.
The Falcons visit Shorewood at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7.
Oak Creek boys basketball
The Knights struggled mightily on the offensive end in a pair of nonconference losses to Greater Metro opponents last week.
They dropped a 52-32 decision to West Allis Hale on Friday after losing a 48-38 decision to Brookfield East on Nov. 27.
Oak Creek (1-2 overall) will open Southeast Conference play when it hosts Racine Park on Dec. 7 and then it will visit area rival Franklin on Dec. 11.
In the loss to Hale, the Knights fell behind 19-10 at the quarter and could never recover, being outscored by the Huskies in every period of the game. Austin Hedler had 14 points and Terrence Garner 12 for Oak Creek.
Against Brookfield East, the Knights had their chances, trailing just 13-8 at the quarter and 24-17 at the half, but could never quite get that big break. East had a big advantage at the foul line, hitting 10 of 14 attempts as compared to the Knights four of four.
All told, Oak Creek shot just eight free throws in the two games combined.
Garner had 13 points to lead Oak Creek while Harrison Cleary and Cory Jackson had eight apiece.
Franklin boys basketball
The Sabers fell to 0-2 on the season with a 58-46 nonconference loss at the hands of area rival Muskego.
Franklin had a small lead at the half (26-25) but then the Warriors pulled ahead 42-39 at the end of three before putting on a 16-7 fourth period rush.
The Warriors tried to help the Sabers with just eight of 19 free throw shooting -Franklin hit nine of 12 - while getting 21 points from Turner Kehoe.
The Sabers were led by Chad Kanugh with 16 points while Colin Ksobiech had 10 and Nick Bobos eight.
Franklin will open Southeast Conference play at Kenosha Bradford on Dec. 7 before hosting area rival Oak Creek on Dec. 11.
Greendale boys ice hockey
The Panthers lost to Oshkosh, 11-3, on Saturday as Joe Jensen, Brian Kennedy and Mitch Hart all scored goals.
Goalkeeper Konner Ondriezek made 34 saves for the game.
They also lost to the combined Kettle Moraine/Mukwonago/Oconomowoc squad, 5-1, on Friday night. Jensen scored the goal, assisted by Brady Kais, and Ondriezek made 47 saves.

Posted on 09/22/2013 3:43:30 AM PDT by Zakeet
A suicide bomb attack on a historic church in northwestern Pakistan killed at least 52 people and wounded over 100 Sunday, officials said, in one of the worst assaults on the country's Christian minority in years.
The bombing underlines the threat posed by Islamic extremists as the government seeks a peace deal with domestic Taliban militants.
It occurred as worshipers were coming out of the church in Peshawar city after services ...
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:20
In related news, the toll in yesterday's Nairobi, Kenya Westgate mall attack now stands at 59 killed and 200 injured with 10-15 gunmen still battling troops.
Islamic pigs strike again. May pig poop be upon them and their pedophile, murderous religion and prophet.
Savages. Medieval savages.
I sure hope we start fighting them using their rules as opposed to ours.
Slice their dead bodies open and insert pig blood, dog hair, and bacon. Let it fester. Show on tv. What are they gonna do? Blow up an innocent group of Christians outside an historic church?...
Imagine no Al Q'aida
Or Daar-al-islam
No MBs or Sunnis
(Or shi'ites)if you can,
Imagine all the people
Worshiping in Peace
You might say that I'm a dreamer
That I don't have any class
But I'd like to turn the kaaba
Into a pool of molten glass.
Scratch a bully, and you'll always find a coward.
And it's called the religion of peace.
What a joke. They are doing the work of SATAN.
We are in a religious war.
It is being fought now in the Middle East and Pakistan and we are watching it with our thumbs up our ass and denying that it is coming to America as soon as it gathers enough strength.
We have a President who is sending weapons to those who would destroy us, and we sit and watch.
We keep hearing it is a few radical Islamic people, but we do not hear the moderates ,all we hear is CAIR which is itself a terrorist organization. As the Muslims grow stronger we grow weaker and there will soon be no moderates.
When this religion is not fighting other religions , they are fighting themselves. They need to be culled, when a disease hits a herd of cattle they cull the herd. This herd of animals needs to be culled and badly before the disease spreads.
Wait until Obama hears about thi....oh, nevermind.
Just as soon as we have a real leader [ie not a marxist puppet desirous of our destruction] the attacks will stop for some reason. Just like the hostage release when Reagan was elected [removing a similarly feckless yet American Carter.]
Unless we get those Muslim bastards out of Government and our Country this WILL happen HERE.
We are in a religious war.
We are in the Biblical war between good and evil. The Devil is on his earthly rampage. If he can't have your soul, he will come after your earthly life. He is coming after everyone who does not confess Allahu Akbar [The Devil is greater].
Religion of Pieces
Very good!
Unless the civilized world opens its eyes and realizes that these barbarians need to be contained, these attacks will grow.
Biggest problem now is that they're well entrenched in every country.
Thank You.
You are, of course, correct!
No "red line" when it comes to killing Christians, apparently.
This president breaks the law by giving himself a waiver to supply arms to Al Qaeda Syrians yet uses executive orders to regulate firearms he can't get thru CONgress.
It is beyond time for impeachment.
Cowards! Islam is an evil and cowardice theology/ideology.
Even the muzzies that say they are moderate and are against this....seldom stand up against it. Guilt by association.
Our PC leaders are so blind when it comes to Islam. They are so caught up trying to promote their own stupid agenda, they cannot see the enemy at the gate.
Islam...a religion of peace. What a complete joke.
Only if you foolishly mis-identify Islam as a religion.
Why don`t they tell the truth and say that it`s All Saint`s Church, a Catholic church, and it was bombed just after Mass had ended?
Valid Point. It is not I but they who try to identify themselves as a religion.
This guy is a total clown.
It's called the "Anything But Jesus" world view. They know the only obstacle is Christianity, so they embrace anything that will oppose Christ.
We know from the Book of Revelation that a time will come when there is lawlessness.
All of these things are foretold. We are not to fear, because we are not made with a spirit of fear. The spirit of fear comes from Satan.
All we have to do is revere the Lord- with trembling, remember that vengeance is His.
I have to ask myself, why won't people just deny Jesus to make these Islamists people happy?
Since only one side does the killing- why won't people walk away from Jesus?
Because we know what we know. What we are seeing exists for a moment. There is still eternity to come.
Update — death toll now at 75!
Suicide Attack on Pakistani Church Kills 75 People
A pair of suicide bombers detonated their explosives outside a historic church in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday, killing 75 people in the deadliest-ever attack on the country's Christian minority, officials said.
Amen and Amen!
"Ya say ya want an Islamic Revolotion..oo ooo
well here ya go o
I just posted this on the LAT thread.
The "religion of peace" strikes again. Actually, not a religion, but an insane murder cult where jihadists are rewarded with plunder and rapine against infidels in this world, and are motivated to commit mass-murder by a promise of an eternal orgy with 72 virgins in the next world. What kind of sick "religion" is it where the most faithful Koran-abiding adherents blow up the Bamyan Buddhas with artillery, and burn or blow up churches from Pakistan to Nigeria? If you know them by their deeds, well, I guess we know them. The so-called "moderate" Muslims must not mind the perpetual slaughter carried out in the name of their cult, because they hardly make a peep against it. Either that, or they are too terrorized by their own co-religionists to make a peep, lest they be deemed "apostate" and hence liable to death by beheading. What a "religion!" If Hitler had only called Nazism a "religion," he'd probably have established "Nazi temples" around the world, and the West would have permitted it.
Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. 10" At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.
Matthew 24:9
Matthew 24:6
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come
Praying for the faith of the persecuted- to be strong and steadfast.
Praying for the faith of the persecuted- to be strong and steadfast.
My household as well.
And Amen to that too!
I suppose Obama will be sending in the troops and aircraft carriers any minute now, just like in Syria and Libya, [/sarc] Oh wait ! this region does not effect the USD as the Reserve Currency, nevermind
All around the world Muslims are killing and its not because of Israel or Western intervention.
moozlums murdering...it is what they do. Ask any moozlum you know why they haven't had a "reformation" in their so-called religion...it is because you and your family aren't dead yet. moozlum violence is coming to a town near you.
It's important to dispel the myth that most wars are fought over religion because it demonizes true religion and disengages our will to fight for our civilization against a truly evil foe and ironically, only because they operate under a false mask of religion.
We cannot let them frame the conversation, define the words or force us to fight on their terms, if we want to win and we MUST win.
When an American kills large numbers of total strangers it is called a mass murder and the killer is called a deranged lunatic but when a muslim does this it is called a religious act in the muslim's definition.

Loved but had to toss...
"LOVED these but after a month of wearing I realized that the bottom sides of my feet were rubbing against the metallic fabric that lines the sole and irritating my feet. Killed me to get rid of them, but my foot runs slightly wider than these afforded I guess."

"As Mother of the Groom I was determined to find a comfortable dress sandal that would carry me through to the last dance. I actually bought and returned 14 pairs before I found these. I got a size larger b/c they were a little tight across the top. Even so, they made my feet look small. Overall, very comfortable and smart-looking."

There are lots of recipes for vegan pancakes, and lots of recipes for gluten-free pancakes, but gluten-free vegan pancakes? Not many. I am a goddang trailblazer.
The talented and meticulous a-k of Swell Vegan posted Gluten-free Gingerbread Buckwheat Pancakes in December. I played with buckwheat pancake recipes for awhile, but they felt and tasted like pulverized cardboard. I want to like buckwheat, but maybe it's an acquired taste I'll have to work toward. I decided instead to strive for soft, fluffy, nutritionally void diner-style flapjacks, the kind that soak up syrup like sponges and disintegrate in your mouth, washing all your cells in glucose almost the instant they hit your tongue.
After much consideration of protein, starch, and fiber, I had the most success with this recipe, described by the original poster as "not bad." Replacing the eggs, milk, and melted butter with vegan alternatives was easy. I was skeptical of using rice and almond flour, which tend to be grainy, but the resulting pancakes were smooth and fluffy with a golden nutty flavor. The flax seed provides plenty of binding, so even without xanthan or guar gum, these pancakes hold up well in a maple syrup bath.
Fluffy Gluten-Free Vegan Pancakes
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
6 tablespoons water
1 cup rice flour (brown, white, or a mix of both)
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup almond flour
3 teaspoons granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash of nutmeg (optional)
1 cup soy or rice milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup wild blueberries (optional)
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Mix dry ingredients—rice flour, potato starch, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg—in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, mix wet ingredients—soy milk, oil, vanilla, and flax mixture. Add wet ingredients to dry and whisk until just combined.
Spray or lightly coat skillet with oil. Pour batter onto skillet 1/4 cup at a time. Sprinkle a tablespoon of blueberries on top of each pancake if desired. Flip when bubbles form on top of pancakes and edges look dry. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes, until undersides are browned.
Yields 8 4-inch pancakes

The Obama administration recruited Miami Heat and former Duke basketball player Shane Battier to promote its health care plan Tuesday, tying it to the likelihood of sports injuries.
As Battier urged young people to sign up for coverage, the Department of Health and Human Services released a report saying that nearly 2 million people suffered sports-related injuries that were treated in emergency rooms in 2012.
"If you're playing sports, it's important to make sure you also have great health care because you never know when you're going to take a hit," Battier said in a conference call with reporters.
Battier detailed a personal medical history that ranges from simple X-rays to a broken elbow to reconstructive ankle surgery.
The emphasis on sports injuries is the latest health care pitch by the administration, which is seeking to reach young people with events linked to the men's and women's college basketball championship tournaments that start this week.
The sign-up deadline for coverage this year is March 31.
The sports-themed marketing projects include a variety of basketball players and coaches.
In a blog post, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that, for people without health insurance, sports injuries can "happen to anyone, regardless of overall health status" can also be "very expensive."
Treating a sprained ankle can cost $2,290, and a broken arm can cost up to $7,700, Sebelius wrote.
"Whether you're out on the slopes or playing the boss in a pickup game of basketball after that stressful meeting, you don't want to have to hold back because you aren't covered in case of injury," Sebelius said.
