Another 'no' for the NIZ: So what now?
BETHLEHEM TWP., Pa. - Is the arena on ice? Opposition to Allentown's controversial hockey arena shows no sign of thawing, and after a crucial vote Monday night, hopes are dimming fast to get the project back on track anytime soon.
So now what?
Mayor Ed Pawlowski, D-Allentown, has desperately tried to avoid it, but it now appears almost certain this issue will either be settled at the state Capitol or in a courtroom.
Tuesday night, Bethlehem Twp., Northampton Co., commissioners rejected a deal to end their lawsuit dogging Allentown's $220 million hockey arena. Roughly a dozen other suburban municipalities are also part of the suit. Two other communities, and a private developer, have filed their own legal challenges.
Because of the lawsuits, construction is already delayed more than a month.
Monday night's vote was a devastating blow to Pawlowski's hopes of finally getting the hole downtown filled in. It was also a blow to union workers ready to get to work.
"Every day I hear from people in my Local, you know, who have nothing," said Francis Loughney with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. "The unemployment is gone. The extensions are gone."
Many of Allentown's neighbors don't want their suburban tax dollars paying for a city arena. Their lawsuit claims the state law that captures some of their income tax is unconstitutional.
Pawlowski has offered to give suburbs their tax money back, plus a share of developers' fees, but the Bethlehem Township commissioners said they will only drop the lawsuit if state lawmakers rewrite the arena law itself. Otherwise, they believe any settlement could be struck down in court.
"We think to go down a road which attempts to circumvent the state act is going to be -- is doomed," said township attorney Jim Broughal.
Pa. Sen. Pat Browne, R-Lehigh Co., wrote the arena law in 2009. So far, he's resisted calls to amend it. Browne did not return phone calls Tuesday asking if his position has now changed.
Pawlowski's spokesman had no comment Tuesday, but in a written statement, the mayor said the city remains at the bargaining table.
"We continue to be committed to doing whatever possible to resolve this litigation and welcome continued negotiation," he said. "This project is too important for Allentown and the entire Lehigh Valley region to allow protracted litigation in the court system to delay it."
Residents have mixed opinions about whether it's time to bury the hatchet and settle.
"This is a huge, huge deal for us as the Lehigh Valley -- especially for Allentown," said Bethlehem Township teacher Faye North. "It will devastate that city if they have to go under after all the money already spent."
Others applauded the commissioners' stance.
"Keep the lawsuit going, keep their feet to the fire," said resident Barry Roth. "Let them prove their point, because I think they're jerking [a] chain around everybody."
Tuesday night, another community spearheading the arena legal challenge will weigh in. Hanover Twp., Northampton Co., supervisors plan to publicly address the lawsuit for the first time at their 7 p.m. meeting. Watch 69 News at 10:00 for the latest.

Raucously funny and superbly written . ( Heat ). It's time to get serious with Britain's favourite funny man - Camp David , by David Walliams. David Walliams has been the camp aide to the Prime Minister, the rubbish transvestite and the long-suffering wheelchair pusher for an able-bodied man. He was launched to fame with the record-breaking Little Britain , and for a while you couldn't enter a playground without hearing eh eh eh eh or computer says no . But David Walliams is more than a comedian. He's a fascinating and complex person with a sharp intellect, a sensitive disposition and a refreshing honesty. Often described as 'a bundle of contradictions', he has disarmed people by being camp and a ladykiller, a hedonist and a sportsman, aloof and warm. Like many of our comedic geniuses - Frankie Howerd, John Cleese, Kenneth Williams - he has grappled with depression and remains an enigma. His autobiography Camp David is a roller-coaster ride of emotions. It will surprise and entertain, and allow fans and newcomers the privilege of entering David Walliams' uniquely brilliant mind. David Walliams is an actor, writer, active fundraiser and - above all - he's a world class comedian who knows how to make us laugh. He performed in and co-wrote the phenomenally successful Little Britain and Come Fly with Me with Matt Lucas, and recently appeared as a popular judge alongside Simon Cowell on Britain's Got Talent . He has performed many feats of endurance for charity, and won over the entire country when he swam the Thames for Sports Relief. His bestselling children's books include Mr Stink , Gangsta Granny , Billionaire Boy , Boy in the Dress and Ratburger .
Author's Biography
David Walliams is a comedian, actor and writer, best known for his partnership with Matt Lucas on the hugely successfully BBC sketch comedy Little Britain. He is an active fundraiser, memorably swimming both the English Channel and the Thames, as well as broadcasting continuously for 24 hours. His love life has been the focus of much media attention, and in 2011 he tied the knot with Dutch model Lara Stone.

A must-visit destination in Krabi is merely not all about beaches. Located 10 km outside of Krabi, the recommended Tham Seau Temple is set in a tropical forest as the story goes that the main hall of its abbey was once served as home to a tiger, as it gave the temple this name. The main cave and temple may not be very intriguing but once you get on the stairs, be ready to attract with the star.

Posted on 02/01/2011 7:28:06 AM PST by heartwood
NEW JERSEY February 1, 2011 A Planned Parenthood manager in New Jersey coaches a man and a woman posing as sex traffickers how to to secure secret abortions, STD testing, and contraception for their female underage sex slaves, and make their whole operation look as legit as possible in an undercover video released this morning.
Clinic manager Amy Woodruff, LPN, of Planned Parenthood Central New Jerseys Perth Amboy center, warns the pimp and his prostitute to have their trafficked underage girls lie about their age to avoid mandatory reporting laws, promising, even if they lie, just say, Oh he's the same age as me, 15, it's just that mainly 14 and under we have to, doesn't matter if their partner's the same age, younger, whatever, 14 and under we have to report. She says, For the most part, we want as little information as possible.
Woodruff also recommends how the pimp can get his prostitutes cheaper contraception by claiming they are students: If they're minors, put down that they're students. Yeah, just kind of play along that theyre students--we want to make it look as legit as possible.
If one of the young trafficked girls needs an abortion, Woodruff refers the pimp and prostitute to the Metropolitan Medical Association, where their protocols arent as strict as ours and they dont get audited the same way that we do. The prostitute in the video asks how long after the abortion until the girls can have sex again, and when Woodruff says minimum of 2 weeks, she asks what sex acts the girls could still do to make money. Woodruff advises, Waist up, or just be that extra action walking by to advertise sex to potential clients.
Sex trafficking is punishable under federal law and carries a potential life sentence. The new video is released by Live Action, a pro-life new media organization led by 22-year-old Lila Rose. The video airs just days after Planned Parenthoods leadership suspected the sting operation and sought an FBI probe of Live Action in order to deter the release of the exposé. Live Action is sending full footage to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, NJ Attorney General Paula Dow, officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and other law enforcement officials, requesting federal and state investigations into Planned Parenthoods sexual abuse and sex trafficking cover up.
The abridged 11-minute video is available at: LiveAction.org
A pimp is bringing in 14 y.o. Asian girls, non-English speaking, illegal, sex slaves. How does he get them treated for STDs and aborted? How can they earn money in the two weeks after the abortion when they can't, you know? Amy at Planned Parenthood has all the answers and the green light. I think her a-- is out the door already, especially because she called the nurse practioner a f------ c---, in confidence. PP will do damage control and spin her as a rogue, but she isn't.
I watched the video. O. M. G. Shut them down.
> Live Action is sending full footage to U.S. Attorney
> General Eric Holder
Holder will probably issue a warrant against Live Action for making a movie without the government's permission and for harassing the poor Planned Barrenhood worker.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Quick point, goes beyond Planned Parenthood, Acorn.
The country is infested with massive corruption. Many reasons. Total breakdown of morals, total materialism. Also immigrants (legal ones) from cultures which are steeped in corruption. Plus there always has been corruption.
This is everywhere and it is a huge unspoken drain on the society.
All subsidized with you tax dollars. How charming.
Thanks for posting heartwood. I sent this to Senator Pat Toomey.
Oh, I left out everyone employing illegals and others under the table, and peopel shipping money and goods illegally back to their countries of origin, tax free. There is ahuge influx of people who are expert at gaming the system at all levels.
And that's why Planned Parenthood people don't hesitate to advise on the use of sex slaves. Nobody wants to be the prude who actually gets in the way of criminality. It's everywhere.
I once saw Pat Caddell try to rail about corruption, I think on Hannity. No one was interested.
That is WILD! Better even than some of the ACORN stings, absolutely incriminating.
I hope these videos go viral and hit Fox News. This outfit needs to be closed down ASAP and the pieces bulldozed and burned.
Liberal 'compassion in action"...
One thing they always forget to ask at the end is "Thank you for being so helpful. Are all chapters of Planned Parenthood (/ACORN) this helpful?"
Try to get the person who will be labeled "rogue" to admit it's supported by the organization officially.
The Planned Non-parenthood monster was more than accommodating. She was actually enjoying herself evidenced by all the laughing.
Why do I feel Eric Holder won't care?
Ihope this goes viral!
unfortunately there is lots of news going on right now
> Why do I feel Eric Holder won't care?
Oh, he will care.
He will want to prosecute those who would dare expose his beloved Planned Parenthood for the criminal enterprise that it is.
"Pro-lifers expecting the newly elected Republican Congress to do great things might want to consider this: In its fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, Planned Parenthood, the nations largest abortion provider, received nearly $350 million in federal funding, according to a report from CNSNews.com. CNSNews obtained this figure from the organizations annual report"
Planned Parenthoods Federal Funding and Republicans Pro-life Principles
Can someone send to Gov. Christie and to Congressman Chris Smith R-NJ?
Sad and Angry BTTT.
Sent out to folks who will care enough to at least try to stop this.
May God give us the strength we will need.
Bump again! This needs to go viral. Anybody alert Beck yet?
I sent it to activist folks on my list, and to my representatives. I will look at how to get it to Drudge and Beck as well, although I am decidedly less than knowledgeable on that front : /
I sent it to a couple of folks as well. I would hope that any major news person (Drudge, Beck, Rush) would authenticate the information to make sure that it's not a setup. I think it's authentic, but it pays to be certain.
Agreed. Just sent it to Drudge and Beck. We shall see.
You're right - someone took this woman aside and trained her - and that person understood ways around laws and regulations... And knew what those laws and regulation were ...
From the way she talks, I doubt she came to this knowledge on her own - or ever picked it up in medical school - or junior college...

There are a few threads with this, but none are posted on my sidebar. Could it be put on the sidebar under Activism maybe? If I knew how, sheepish look, I would do it, but I don't : / Maybe someone else knows, or if you contacted an admin for assistance?
May God bless.
Wonder how her nurse practitioner feels about working with her now?
God bless Lila Rose.
Planned Parenthood ping! DEFUND NOW!
Your tax dollar at work. Rise up, America, and end this reign of terror by those who support this immoral behavior.
Hey everyone make sure this gets to all the major news networks and shows. Make sure that they know that people are shocked and that this is major front page news and not to be ignored or buried.
When we email important people who disseminate the news we must email each one of them in a separate letter as they ignore letters with multiple headings. Also we should try to do it often. Even if they have run the story by the volume of emails help them to understand that we believe that it is important breaking news that need lots of attention.
The top address goes to a page with all the Fox News television shows addresses. Also at drudge.com we can give them breaking news in the space provided for it. Anyone who would like to contribute addresses to the list so that we can compile a list of important people to email when we want our point of view known please feel free to add your important addresses onto this list.
Another attempted scam. This is yet another O'Keefe-manufactured heavily-edited tape. When the full tape emerges it will be an embarassment for Lila Rose and O'Keefe.
Note the LiveAction didn't add that as soon as their actors left, Planned Parenthood called the FBI.
Please don't fall for this. There are other things to attack Planned Parenthood on. This one will just make the Pro-Life movement look like saps who will fall for any ruse.
PP says it has been contacting the FBI about Lila Rose's scam. Lila Rose says she welcomes an FBI investigation.
Yes, the tape was edited. "Heavily edited" to the point of being misleading, it doesn't look like that to me. There are long continuous segments. Are you telling me that there are missing segments where the PP staffer says "What you are doing is wrong," or "I will have to report this," or "I am totally not buying this."
It doesn't make any strategic sense at all that PP, aware of this scam, would instruct their staffers to go along with it for half an hour, and then call the FBI. The tape will influence more people than the die-hard pro-lifers against PP even if the staffer knew she was being scammed - you won't convince all the viewers that she knew that. That's exactly what creative editing can do - why give your enemies the chance.
And abortion clinic workers are paranoid about attack and assassination - so why would one of them let herself be filmed, identified and made a target, as they would see it?
What is the source of your claims? If they are credible, I really want to see them, because I know there is a lot of mythology on the pro-life side, as well as on the pro-abort side. If the claims are PP press releases, I'm not buying them at all unless the complete uncut video backs them up.
This is from Kathryn Lopez on National Review's Corner:
Last week, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards reportedly sent Attorney General Eric Holder a letter to complain about Live Action investigating them for sex-trafficking, calling their undercover investigative work a hoax. ....
Phyllis Kinsler, chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey, added that the clinic employees behavior, as portrayed on the video, violates PPCNJ policies, as well as our core values of protecting the welfare of minors and complying with the law, and appropriate action is being taken.
Others complain and worry that the full video of the LiveAction clinic visit is not being released.
Lopez then gives this link to LiveAction's website, which is supposed to contain the complete video, and it is also on you-tube. I haven't time right now to see the whole thing but here it is for you. Hope it works.
This thread is based on the press release from LiveAction, the group of college students who put the video together. There has been additional information about their visits to various clinics across the country in the middle of January. The coverage started on Jan. 25.
The release of this video is no surprise. It's been anticipated since the first story broke. If you read them, you can see why I question the wisdom of this tactic. It's a sideshow, which can distract from going after PP on valid grounds.
If Bachmann, or any other Congressman, uses these videos as evidence of *why* PP should be defunded, their argument will be ignored, because all people will be focused on is the validity of the videos and the way they were obtained. . Do we really want this debate on funding PP to be turned into yet another Two-Weeks-Excitement about James O'Keefe and sting video investigation?
Talking Points Memo (sourced):
Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/01/us-abortion-video-idUSTRE7109OR20110201
ABC: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/undercover-video-enflames-debate-planned-parenthood/story?id=12814866&page=2
Thank you for the links.
It looks to me like most of the PP offices visited caught on, but that the Perth Amboy office struck the bait hard.
1/10 PP offices being managed by someone willing to circumvent laws protecting minors is a good reason to withhold tax money from the organization.
LiveAction would do better to vary their storylines next time they try an expose like this, space them out in time. But they've gathered intelligence - PP offices share over-the-top encounters rather promptly. I think the staged, recorded scenario does have a place in exposing the abortion industry.
Thanks for that link - it's late here, so I will watch them tomorrow.

Sunrise released a new PV for the next chapter in the Gundam franchise. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
"It has been a few hundred years since humans began to live on space colonies. In A.G. 101, an unknown enemy (UE) "GAFRAN" suddenly attacks one of the colonies "Angel". A long war against UE has begun.
In A.G 108, seven year old Flit Asuno lost his mother when UE attacked his colony "Ovan". His mother left him a memory unit "AGE" which had stored data of an ancient mobile suit Gundam. In A.G. 114, Flit completes the Gundam AGE and counterattacks against GAFRANs."
Despite the questionable character designs the plot synopsis and that trailer were more than enough to get me excited. Gundam AGE will show the entirety of a 100 year war against the UE encompassing the lives of three pilots.
What are the feelings of others on this?

Whatever happened to global warming? I have really missed it lately. Actually I started missing it about last September. We always go on a camping trip in Huntington Canyon for the muzzleloader deer hunt. It's always a very pleasant time in the mountains the fall colors are usually gorgeous and it never seems to matter if you get a deer or not it's just great to be there. But, this hunt was very different. The first day was very cold and blowing. The next day we were hunting in deep snow. We even wimped out and came home (back to town) that night and cranked up the furnace and just went back the next day and packed up camp and headed home. There were several inches of snow at the top of Huntington Canyon. It seems like from then on it hasn't ended.
It may have been a pleasant fall after that initial shock and cold but I was so traumatized I didn't notice. It seems like we've had quite a bad winter and it hasn't ended yet.
We take a golfing trip each spring to St. George and Mesquite and it's usually very warm down there and even kinda hot to these people who have been scarred by winter. This year it was very pleasant, but not warm and certainly not hot. Usually St. George by this time of year, is hot. Last June, we went to a wedding down there and it was 110 degrees in the shade. Not a good time to stand outside for wedding pictures. Anyway, now I miss that, I wish my ice cream cone would disintegrate before my eyes when I walk outside. We did that once, back when we weren't as smart as we are now. Left a store and before we could run to the car and get inside and start the air conditioner the ice cream had turned to liquid right before our very eyes. I was slurping as fast as I could. We did get a good chuckle out of the deal. Don't leave the restaurant with your ice cream when it's 110 degrees. I can't resist a bargain and since the cones were only 10 cents each, (on sale) I had to have one.
Anyway I wish it would warm up. I guess I'm getting old, I just can't take the cold anymore. Maybe it just hung around for so many months and in a few short months it will all be back again. I don't know.
There were ball games last night the Carbon v. Emery baseball match-up and I thought I was going to die. Those little ball players were so cold when they came in to bat they looked frozen and were shivering and jumping around and stealing jackets from each other trying to get warm.
It's hard to get pictures from inside your car back by the fence so I braved the weather. The cheese fell off my cracker years ago and not being very smart, I stayed and watched these games and took pictures and the whole time, I just looked at those power plants and wondered why they aren't giving off any heat. After last night I am all for global warming and if I ever thaw out again, I just might write Al Gore a letter.

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous.
Verse: Blessed are they whose transgressions have been forgiven.
BRETHREN, consider your call, not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord." When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Deer Creek Geologist Ken Fleck spends roughly two days a week underground with a measuring tape, pencil and paper mapping the geologic conditions of PacifiCorp's mine in Huntington Canyon. He documents the coal thickness and type of rock on the roof and floor of the mine so he can predict coal quality. Among other things, Deer Creek coal contains traces of fossilized tree sap, better known as amber.
You might recall amber from the opening scene of the movie "Jurassic Park" where DNA from a mosquito trapped in this semi-precious gem is extracted to clone dinosaurs. Fleck has yet to find an insect in the mine's tiny fragments of amber, but he can't stop checking.
His curiosity could have something to do with the dinosaurs - dinosaur footprints, to be precise, roughly one to two feet in diameter discovered throughout the mine. "Most are rounded, have three toes and look like they were made by a cartoon character," Fleck reports. In actuality, duck-billed dinosaurs made them; swamp dwellers that fed on the swamp bottom muck some 80 million years ago. "The mud impressions filled with sand and over millions of years hardened into sandstone."
In various parts of the mine, Fleck can show you a dozen footprints in the sandstone overlying the coal. He'll also take you to see petrified stumps from the underside of the roof - known as "kettle bottoms" - as well as fossils of palms, ferns and leaves of sequoia and oak-like trees.
Southern Utah is a hotbed for prehistoric footprints and plant material, which, unlike rare skeletal fossils, are not considered significant paleontologic finds and so become finder's keepers. The mine has donated dinosaur footprints to the local prehistoric museum. Deer Creek miners have collected a few of their own, but for most of the mine's employees, these types of common fossils are like ceiling wallpaper on the mine roof.
Fleck's interest, though, extends beyond geologic curiosity. Safety, as always, is thought of first.
"The way plant material is laid down can affect the strength of the roof rock," he explains. "We have to be extra cautious when working in roof areas with abundant plant material."
Deer Creek Mine produces four million ton of coal per year for use at the Huntington Canyon and Hunter Plants. Approximately 300 miners work at the mine producing coal. The underground mine is actually in the side of a layered mountain topped by U.S. Forest Service land, 1,600 feet above. The forest service is the landlord, and Deer Creek is the lessee: the subsidence, or settling of the forest land due to the Deer Creek mining operations, is carefully monitored. Since mining operations began in the early 70s, Deer Creek's footprint on the land is negligible. Which is more than we can say for the giant footprints left by the beings who 'leased' this land during the Cretaceous period 80 million years ago.

Skip to comments.Revealed: 'Gay' plans to target 2-year-olds
Posted on 12/18/2007 4:51:48 PM PST by wagglebee
Children as young as two years of age are in the bull's-eye of coming changes in California's school curriculum, which "gay rights" advocates now admit will alter the very foundation of information presented to public school classrooms.
Gov. Schwarzenegger
A list of school resources, sponsored by a homosexual-advocacy group called Safe Schools Coalition, suggests that for those who are only two years old, there's "Felicia's Favorite Story," which tells how she was "adopted by her two mothers."
The list also promotes a book called "Are You a Girl or a Boy?" by Karleen Jiminez, a resource for children ages 4-8 when advocating homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism and other alternative lifestyle choices.
It's described as "A sweet book about a gender-different kid."
Other resources being promoted in light of California's adoption of SB 777 as state law include books authored by officials for Planned Parenthood and the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network.
One book, called "Tackling Gay Issues in School," is for kindergarten through grade 12, and offers a "rationale (for the inclusion of les/bi/gay/trans issues in school)." It features recommended "extracurricular" activities for classes.
The promotion of such materials has coincided with the recent admission by Equality California, a homosexual advocacy group that worked to have SB 777 passed by lawmakers and signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, that the bill really does edit all school curricula in California.

You're probably right.
I'm a live-and-let-live type, but this is just FLAT OUT GROSS!!!!!!!
I think that Arnold Schwarzenegger just lost all credibility.
I conclude:
1) They are too stupid to know that this hurts children.
2) They do know it but are greedy for their paycheck and benefits.
3) They are evil.
Exactly! They are robbing children of their innocence. Child abuse is not too strong a term.
I would submit that #2 and #3 are equivalent
...and the girly man made this possible.
I offer a personal anecdote. I have a homosexual nephew. His tactic on his own nephew, aged three, started by educating him in his front yard to the fact that "snails have no sex." Then he bought the boy a toy vacuum cleaner. Eh, homos start recruiting early. Even in their own families.
It's way past time for Arnold to go.I liked some of his movies,but as a governor he's not even B grade material.
Nor is "pure evil". This is scary, satanic stuff.
Nor is "pure evil". This is scary, satanic stuff.
Yes, it is. Yet, every day, teachers turn the keys in the locks of government schools and open the doors to this evil.
This is not a Governor problem, it is a people problem. The Governor must not be very concerned about blowback from the people.
The people of California need to grow a set and start demanding this BS stops.
If they did, it will stop
But the governor doesn't have to sign the law.
Duh, when did he have credibility? I never thought the RINO had any.
Show some class, friend. Not all the teachers in Cali are leftist pinkos whose only motivation is a paycheck. There are those of us who take our stewardship before the LORD very seriously. We will stand, and should we be dismissed, we will trust in the LORD for our provision, and pray for the eyes of our persecutors to be opened.
Or gouged out. Whatever.
I would submit that #2 and #3 are equivalent
Good point!
That's a lot of stupid and evil teachers.
Well said!
F grade material.
If a 100,000 California protested at his front door, he might actually consider not signing it
Indeed, and Blacks represent what percentage of the population in America? And yet if the deck is stacked...
I live in Virginia, otherwise I would go.
He never HAD credibility. Anybody feigning shock at his agenda has got to be pig-ignorant blind.
Both our daughter and our daughter-in-law are full time moms and they both home school their children.
God forbid that our little children have to go through these sick schools. I for one will never vote for Schwarzenegger again. All of this sin will be on his head.
About 13 percent.
No ignorance here, I supported McClintock from 03 on. I assumed Arnold would be conservative, but I was wrong.
It's time for decent humans to vacate Kaleefornia as quickly as possible.
Run, don't walk.
AH yes. Kalifornia. The land of fruits, nuts, comedians and other funny people.
The problem with live and let live is that it isn't a realistic position as far as the left is concerned. Some people believe homosexuality is a sin that should be discouraged. Others believe it should be normalized so that homosexuals don't feel bad. How can there possibly be a middle ground, since the mere mention of sin is hurtful? The left probably doesn't mind if you're a Christian so long as you don't tell anyone about it.
Warning people on this destructive RINO bozo, I risked my FReeper account and was suspended for it. I don't regret doing so, only that I couldn't get through to enough people. I would not have voted for his reelection last year, even if that meant voting for the rodent. McClintock's election as Lt Governor was the race of paramount importance.
If it's so dang "Natural" and "not a choice", why all the need for recruitment?
This is sickening. My wife and I casually considered home schooling. But more and more we see it as not a choice, but as a need and survival instinct.
Popman: "This is not a Governor problem, it is a people problem. The Governor must not be very concerned about blowback from the people."
Very true. California has the government it elected. Blaming the politicians is easy, but the electorate, or at least a majority of it, picked Schwarznegger. Don't blame him for being a RINO, since it has kept him in office so far.
I'm often told silent majorities oppose the libs. If that's so, maybe it's about time for them to be a bit less silent...
He never HAD credibility. (Bilderberg approved) ;-)
Anybody feigning shock at his agenda has got to be pig-ignorant blind... or just plain desperate to believe anything that came out of the Trojan Gift Horse's mouth..
Talk about a very expensive decision for all of us .. and now this.. which is nothing new, his agenda has been gungho for gayos from the getgo..
They are striving for younger and younger. Their goal is to have people of all ages sexually active regardless of gender minus morality. It's terrible. Homosexuality can be taught in teen sex ed, but it should be taught as an unnatural, unhealthy, and immoral lifestyle choice. Homosexuals should be treated with respect and compassion, but the way to do that is not to endorse such a lifestyle.
85% of those children raised in strong Christian homes abandon their faith within 2 years of leaving government school, however 90 to 95% of homeschoolers remain faithful. It is evident that the government school are amazing effective in proselytizing their secular humanist religion to children with Christian parents.
In the kindest and most respectful manner, I ask you to please ask yourself,"How much influence can a Christian teacher have on children in government schools who are not from Christian homes?" In my opinion, probably little to none.
In the kindest and most respectful manner, I suggest to you that the efforts of Christian teachers would be put to better use by doing the following:
1)Consider your own children and the children of the parents in your congregation as your most important and urgent mission field.
2) Get your kids and the kids of your congregation out of the government schools.
3) Organize, and be teachers in, Christian schools in your own congregations.
4) Homeschool your own children.
5) With today's technology it is possible to have many "one room school houses" in Christian homes. Christian teachers could be a tremendous resource in supporting these endeavors among the members of their Christian congregation.
6) Once your congregation has a viable and healthy education structure for its own children take in as many other children as possible ( that would not overwhelm the Christian culture of the school).
7) Work to organize private Christian scholarship foundations so that every child in the U.S. would have access to a private Christian education. We are wealthy nation. We could do this if Christians had the will.
Any parent who allows their child to be exposed to this type of child abuse is not fit to be a parent.
Uh oh! Some government school defender will be **personally** insulted and demand that you be banned.
Hey, gotta look on the bright side. He's made Don Perata look like a Conservative statesman.
wagglebee: Please read #46.
In the kindest and most respectful manner, it is my opinion that the government schools are not too far gone. Working in these schools can no longer be of any good. It is now enabling evil, in my opinion. Bruce N. Shortt, leader of the the Exodus Mandate, has some excellent arguments against supporting the government school system. I recommend the following web site:
http://www.exodusmandate.org/ Perhaps it may change your mind.
That should read: government schools are now too far gone.
Othniel, I am sorry I forgot to add your name to the ping. Please read message #49. Thank you .

During pregnancy, your baby is surrounded and cushioned by a fluid-filled membrane called the amniotic sac. At some point before your baby is born, the sac will rupture. This is known as your water breaking or rupture of the membranes.
When your water breaks, you may expect large amounts of fluid to run down your legs and fill up your shoes. It isn't always so easy to tell that your water has broken, though. At the end of pregnancy, all the glands you never knew you had in your vagina produce fluid to lubricate the way for the baby. To cloud the issue a little more, sometimes the amniotic sac can spring a leak without actually breaking. Think of a water balloon with a pin-sized hole. It's also common to leak small amounts of urine during pregnancy, even when your bladder doesn't feel full or you've just urinated.
So how do you know if you're leaking urine, vaginal fluid or amniotic fluid? Here are some clues:
If you're unsure what you're leaking, contact your health care provider. You may need an exam to find out for sure. This is especially important if you suspect that your water has broken or the fluid is green — which usually means that the baby has had a bowel movement and needs special attention at delivery.
Whether your water breaks in public, at home or in the hospital — either in a gush or a slow trickle — take comfort in the fact that you'll soon be holding your baby in your arms.

Okay, then if the fluid around the baby is urine than why do they say its atomic fluids and not urine? This doesn't make any sense and to my knowledge they get their nutrients from the umbilicord and babies eat and drink from whatever the mother is eating and providing for them. And when a pregnant lady sac breaks it doesn't smell like urine or look yellowish its clear.. I just don't believe everything that is being written. I had five kids and never once my fluid sac had urine substance inside of it and smelled like pee. Babies doesn't start to use their reproductive system until they are born from the mother wound. If this is the case then all babies born will have bacteria on them and poop inside and it will be a big mess when they are born.
y daughter has been told to stay in bed she has been leaking fluids a drop or two . the doctor has said she has not enough fluids in the Amniotic sac she is not due to give birth till march . Is there any one whom has any information on this
Thanks Roxanne im going through the same situation right now..I thank God I was able to pull this up and read your testimony!! GOD IS ABLE AND HE IS REAL! MY DOCTOR TOLD ME ABOUT TERMINATING AT FIRST BUT HE CAME BACK AND SAID NO HE HAS HOPE I CAN continue on! Im praying and Keeping the Faith because God's Grace is sufficient and will bring me and my baby through!!
My water broke during the 13 week of pregnancy, and did not find out until week 18 during a level 2 ultrasound, If was advised to terminate because there was nothing doctors could do to safe my baby,I declined termination. I was put in bed rest and was advised to drink lots of water, we added lots of prayers too. By week 23 I was admitted to the hospital. On week 29 and two days I delivered my daughter Grace via c-section. Doctors are amazed that she survived. I know that she survived thanks to God's mighty power, mercy and grace.
Annett, sounds like you are doing everything you can do. Stay the course. Sorry I don't have more to offer.
Yvette, why would you stop eating when you're body's about to do the hardest work it's ever done? Do you stop eating when you're preparing for a marathon? You absolutely should eat and drink during labor, and especially in early labor! Pain meds do make some women nauseous, but that's independent of what's in your stomach. Bowel movements are normal in birth, and no one even notices (except the care provider, who is accustomed to quietly removing it with no consequence).
I had conceived twins in feb. during week 7 of pregnancy I started brown spotting. My doc detected I had sub chorionic hem. He informed I would keep bleeding off and on in my pregnancy. During week 13 ultrasound we found out that one twin heart bit had stopped and the other twin had low amniotic fluid. Since then I am. Monitored weekly. My baby has strong heart bit but my bleeding has now changed to bright red since last 2 weeks. Any treatment that can help me? My doc has put me on partial bed rest. I am now 16 week pregnant..
What is vaginal Fluid? Is it something that could harm the baby if I am leaking it at 7 months
If your water breaks and contains bright red blood &/or blood clots call an ambulance. This happened to me and when I called my doctor to let her know she was not alarmed. She told me "this can happen" and that she would meet us at the hospital. We drove to the hospital ouselves, and upon arrival they determined my water had broken and thought the blood loss was due to placental abruption. After about 40 min. of evaluating our daughter's heart rate go up and down, they delivered her via emergency c-section. Addison was born on Oct. 19th, 2010 and she was a perfectly healthy 38 week old infant, but she died at birth due to VASA PREVIA. I had never heard of this. I my case, I had several vessels that traversed the membrane, and one tore near the placenta when my membranes ruptured (water broke). This condition is very dangerous, but it can be diagnosed during the 20 week ultrasound with a 4D transvaginal doppler. Women are not given this additional ultrasound unless their doctor requests it. PLEASE request this additional test. There are cetain risk factors which increase your chances of having vasa previa, but I didn't have any. Any early c-section can be scheduled in order to ensure a safe delivery. If I had known about vasa previa, I would have requested the test and my daughter would be here today. I cannot believe the pregnancy books and medical websites do not even mention vasa previa. And that doctors are not ordering the additional test for
I would like to add, if you suspect your water has broken, then stop eating. While you may be hungry, you do not want food in your belly when you are in labor. The pain medication is likely to make you nauseous and the pushing could cause more to come out than a baby.

Gangsta rapper Ice Cube may have slowed down in his music production over the years due to his mid career lust for making Hollywood movies and comedy sitcoms, but the rap pioneer is still very much aware on what's happening around the music world. In a recent interview with MTV, Cube was asked to give his opinion on the recent surge of Los Angeles MCs trying to break out on the mainstream rap scene. The Anaconda actor replied that while he thinks upcoming rappers are being deprived of some much deserved airplay, they are doing all the right things to get noticed.
The rapper Ice Cube, otherwise known as O'Shea Jackson, expressed his unhappiness with the current radio stations. Cube thinks that apart from stations like KDAY, others have stopped supporting the hip hop community like they used to do in the late 80s and early 90s when Cube got his big break with N.W.A.

Every holiday season brings us news of thefts. Sometimes followed up by good people stepping forward to restore or replace the item(s) stolen. This year is no different.
Mid-November someone stole $8,000 from a fundraiser held to raise money for a a New York City firefighter son. Aidan Sullivan, 9 years old, was born with hemifacial microsomia. In Aidan's case, this birth defect has left one side of his face underdeveloped, deformed his jaw and skull and left him without a right ear. (photo credit)
The Vincent Crotty Memorial Foundation is replacing the money that was stolen. The money is needed to offset the portion insurance doesn't cover (deductible, family percentage, etc) which is estimated to be in the $10,000 to $15,000 range. Aiden's surgery is scheduled for this spring at NYU's Langone Medical Center in Manhattan.
Best wishes to you Aiden.
What is hemifacial microsomia?
It is a developmental birth defect involving the first two branchial arches resulting in incomplete development of the ear, nose, soft palate, lip and mandible. The syndrome varies in severity, but always includes the mal-development of the ear and the mandible. This is the second most common facial birth defect after clefts.
Hemifacial microsomia is also known as first and second branchial arch syndrome, craniofacial microsomia, oral-mandibular-auricular syndrome, otocraniocephalic syndrome, auriculobranchiogenic dysplasia, necrotic facial dysplasia, intrauterine facial necrosis, otomandibular dystosis, hemignathia and microtia syndrome, and unilateral facial agenesis.
Hemifacial microsomia syndrome is made up of a constellation of congenitally malformed facial structures which arise from the first and second branchial arches, the intervening first pharyngeal pouch and first branchial cleft.
Hemifacial microsomia is reported to occur in approximately 1 per 25-45,000 births. Most cases are sporadic, but there are rare familial cases that exhibit autosomal dominant inheritance.
Hemifacial microsomia syndrome is most often not completely expressed. If it were, the child would exhibit the following:
- Unilateral or bilateral underdevelopment of the external ear, middle ear, mandible, zygoma, maxilla, temporal bone, facial muscles, muscles of mastication, palatal muscles, tongue, and parotid gland.
- Macrostomia
- First branchial cleft sinus
The goals of surgery will depend on the child's problems, but in general aim to improve facial symmetry and restore normal occlusion and TMJ joint function.
Common surgeries include:
- lowering the upper jaw to match the opposite side and lengthening the lower jaw. Sometimes a bone graft is used to lengthen the jaw and sometimes a distraction device is used.
- Ear reconstruction at about 5-6 years of age, involves 3 to 4 surgeries.
- Occasionally, it may be necessary to add bone to build up the cheekbone.
- Some children benefit from the addition of soft tissues to further balance the face.
