I'm so glad that women are using this blog as a place to share their sorrow and pain regarding pregnancy loss. It's proof that you're never alone and there are others who've been where you are now.
I've been thinking a lot lately about the loss of a baby, especially from a miscarriage. During Victorian times, photographs of the dead and other tokens — such as a locket containing a loved one's hair — often served as tangible reminders of lost loved ones. With miscarriage, however, there's often no tangible reminder. Sometimes all you're left with is the knowledge that there was a baby and his or her existence made a difference in your life. In some cases, though, you may be offered a token or memento from a lost pregnancy. If you're offered such a gift, take it — even if at the time you don't want to see anything that would remind you of your loss. Perhaps someday the memento will bring you a sense of healing or peace.
The journey of healing from pregnancy loss may be short or it may seem never-ending. Let others reach out to you. If given the chance, reach out to others. You don't have to do this alone.

I don't know the answers to the first part. Those are quiotesns that you need to ask your doctor. But I am sure that there is nothing to worry about.To have a healthy pregnancy take prenatals, folic acid, stop any unhealthy habits you may have.Good luck in January I hope you get pregnant the first month you try!
My husband and I endured 7 long years of infertility. We lost our first pregnancy via miscarriage 26 years ago and the second pregnancy 24 years ago. The pain NEVER goes away. I still think of those babies when their due dates arrive each year. Thank goodness we were able to adopt our beautiful daughter 24 years ago. She has been the most wonderful daughter in the world. I still mourn for the babies we lost but am so grateful for the wonderful child I have.
After having final stage of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and receiving double doses of chemo at age 30 I was unsure if I could conceive well I was so excited when I learned I was pregnant however it ended very quickly. I lost my first baby at 10weeks in Sep 2006 and had to wait a week to go for D&C. I kind of knew it was going to go bad when I saw blood clot above sac on ultrasound and they put me on bed rest at 6 weeks. I then had a successful pregnancy in Jan 2008 to healthy girl. Well after recently finding out I was pregnant again we were so excited and started spreading the news to all including our little girl. I went for 8 week ultrasound and was told there was no heartbeat. Just 6 hours later I went to Labor and Delivery where they did D&C however this time I was awake and in the next room I could hear a woman just give birth to a baby. I just feel like I've been violated, like they just stole my baby from me. I know that the baby was sick and that's why things happen for a reason but it is definatly harder this time since I was not expecting it at all. The worst was having to try and explain now to my daughter that there is no longer a baby in my belly. I saved the ultrasound picture from the first time where it is tucked in a book well this time I also took the picture but this time I felt bad just putting it in the back of the book with the other one so today I decided to buy a double frame and on top of each picture I will engrave the month and year I lost the
My heart goes out to all of you who have experienced a loss. My husband and I lost our 5th pregnancy this past Dec. 2010. Our 2nd pregnancy was a full term preg delivering our son w/hydrocephalus...he never came home during that month in the hospital NICU. We tried three times after, and our most recent we had not told anyone, then we visited my parents for txgiving, came back, my husband told his family, and at the next appt we were told there were complications, ultrasounds were set up for the following appt [one wk after], and there was no heartbeat...I would give anything to be able to have a child...our daughter would have been born 4/26/11. I too feel like Karen. I go to work and try to go on but every morning requires alot of strength from me to get up and stay all in one piece without falling appart. The best anology I can give is that of a cracked egg (that would be me) that I have to make sure that not one crack falls b/c if that happens, the whole egg will fall appart. That's a challenge in it of itself, now let me throw a wrench to the equation...there are two other ladies pregnant at the office...need I say more? It is soooo hard !!! There are days I just want to walk out! I've been to counseling but in all honesty I think I will be in the healing process for the rest of my life...also, I've decided to get a tubal ligation...I think perhaps by doing that, I will have to realize that I will never be able to have a child.
On March 29, 2011, my first pregnancy ended. At our 20 week US the day before, we found out that our baby boy had ectopia cordis, a very rare condition in which the heart was growing outside of the chest wall. I had a D&E after finding out this is incompatible with life outside the uterus. 5 weeks later, I am still having difficulty coping. I am going to work and doing my normal daily activities, but I just don't feel right yet. I want so badly to be pregnant again, but I don't know when I'll have to courage to even think about it. I am worried that in my next pregnancy I will be paralized with fear. Who knew that something so natural and seemingly easy for most women could tear me apart emotionally. I have an amazing husband, but I think only other women who've been through this really understand...
My husband and I were overjoyed when we found out Febuary 24, 2011 that we were 8 weeks pregnant. We had an awesome US and got to hear a strong heartbeat of 132 BPM. I didn't experience any problems until March 14, 2011. I had very little brown discharge. The nurse said "No need to worry if you aren't experiencing any other problems". I pushed to have my 12 week appointment moved up for piece of mind. March 23, 2011 we had another US only to find out our baby no longer had a heartbeat. We do not have an explanation and doubt we ever will. This has been extremely hard on both my husband and I, but our family and friends have been so supportive.
I'm 37, and I lost my little girl a couple of weeks ago. I went for my 22 week ultrasound (a follow up from my 18 week appt.) I found out that she didn't have a heartbeat. I had to wait until the following week to be induced and deliver. The hospital was wonderful. They gave me my baby wrapped in a blanket, and allowed my husband and I to say goodbye. This is our second miscarriage in 3 years, it's taken us that long to get pregnant again. We're off to visit a specialist next week to find out why we keep losing babies...I'm terrified to conceive again, but the thought of not having another baby is even more frightening.
Just after I delivered my baby, I found a nice website that designs jewelry for lost children. It's "my forever child". It's nice to have a necklace to remember her by.
Its really a nice and informative blog..
I wanna some information about Tubal reversal..
Mothers who had done Tubal Ligation to stop pregnancy can become a mother again after Tubal Reversal..
For more info chk this
Tubal Reversal
It is heart-breaking to read that others have gone through recurrent miscarriages like me. Having experienced 3 in 20 months has left me feeling hopeless. I rarely allowed myself to contemplate what it would be like to finally hold a baby in my arms. My doctor assured me each time that once I saw the heartbeat I only had a 5% chance of miscarrying even though I'm 43. And each time I finally allowed myself to think about what it would be like to have a child with the love of my life. Unfortunately, I was always in the 5%. The immeasurable emotional and sometimes physical pain that accompanies miscarriage is rarely discussed. I found it extremely difficult after each loss to continually redirect my life away from one of motherhood to my career, once again. My mom and sisters seemed relieved each time I lost a baby that I would not be another "40 something," mom. My husband just looked at it as bad luck. The truth is that I had a doctor that was not proactive in my prenatal or preconceptive care even though I scheduled a visit with her prior to conceiving and tried to discuss steps I could take to prevent miscarriage if I became pregnant. She simply said "Try and we'll take it from there." I think if I had money I could have consulted with a specialist in high-risk pregnancy. Although this is all speculation, I can't help but feel cheated. There is no "What next?" for me.
Hi- I am almost 35 and in a 12 month period in 2009 we lost three pregnancies. the most painful was the first one where we had a heart beat. there are absolutely no words to describe the pain you go thru when you experience such a loss. my heart goes out to every single woman out there - because I understand. even your husband will not understand at times when he catches you looking at a pregnant lady on a walk, or tears coming down during a baby commercial. we went thru every single test available on this earth - after so much emotional pain (something to be said about all those doctors and nurses who think you are a lab rat and have no clue that your heart is torn apart) and the financial burden of it all - nothing came up for us. anything you name it, we've heard it from people. it definitely put our marriage for a test ride as well. it is not for the faint hearted, and if you need to grieve, you have to grieve. there is no set of amount of tears allowed.
there has been many instances where I felt I was swallowed up by grief, rage, anger, envy and a heavy, heavy heart. I wish people would talk about their losses more too - so you don't think how on earth everybody seems to pop them out like kittens and you have failed.
just last week we found out we are pregnant again - only 6 weeks and I am beyond terrified, frozen in anxiety and pain. May God help all the women out there who have to cope with a loss, and give the strength and courage to try again.
I am 32 years old and my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 18 weeks on November 30, 2010. I had had two ultrasounds and was one day away from my third, the structural ultrasound that would have revealed the baby's gender. The day I miscarried, one of my students asked me, "Mrs. H, girl or boy?" I told her we would find out the next day. I miscarried that night, and the next morning, a social worker at the hospital informed us that had lost a baby girl. So far, exam and tests have revealed nothing except that the baby showed signs of inflammation. About two weeks before the miscarriage, I had gone in to see my OB for a scheduled exam; he took the heart rate and that was it. I told him I thought I had a yeast infection; I had never had one and it was pretty painful. He didn't examine me and told me to get some Monistat over the counter. In my desperate search for answers, I've turned up information on bacterial vaginosis and the increased rate of miscarriage in women who have this condition, which manifests itself with the same symptoms of a yeast infection. I am not a doctor. But I am incapacitated with horror and rage and guilt and despair at the possibility that I could have prevented the death of my daughter simply by demanding my OB examine me and prescribe antibiotics. The thought is eating away at me. I don't know how to go on.
Between the ages of 19 and 24, I lost three pregnancies to miscarriage, all around the 7-8 week mark. I then did not get pregnant again for six years, and I had finally come to peace with the idea of never being a mother, especially after being diagnosed with endometriosis, a thyroid disorder and several other hormonal abnormalities, including a bleeding disorder.
Then, this July on my 31st birthday, I found out that I was again pregnant, and again bleeding profusely seven weeks along. Somehow, miraculously, I did not lose the baby, and I am now twenty weeks into a normalized, healthy pregnancy with a little girl. There are no graves for my first three children, but their sister is going to make it. I don't know if she will ever realize how much I love her for hanging on and living despite my utterly inhospitable body.
There is hope for us who have lost children to miscarriage. I didn't ever want to get pregnant again for fear of going through that loss a fourth time, but here I am, unbelievably, in the midst of a healthy pregnancy. I myself am still unwell and undergoing intense medical treatment, but she is doing fine and every ultrasound shows a beautiful little person with no apparent physical problems. I am still so afraid of losing her, but all signs show that I will be able to give birth to my daughter in March.
May the gods bless each of us who have lost unborn children, and bless every single person who gives us the help and support we need through those times.
I wasn't feeling well the last few weeks, so I went to my OBGYN for my annual on Tuesday, July 6th (my 36th birthday.) I was surprised to hear the words, "You're pregnant." What a wonderful birthday present! I learned I was 6 weeks along. Today, just 3 days later I found out that I am miscarrying. This was my first pregnancy. Words can't describe what I'm feeling. My husband is being so supportive, as well as my friends and family. I am blessed to have all this love and support around me, but my heart is just breaking. It amazes me how the loss of this little person, who has only existed 6 weeks, can tear at my heart like this. I've read the other posts on here and see that I'm not alone, but it is still so hard to take. I pray for all the unborn babies, and find comfort in knowing my unborn baby is with God now.
I lost our first baby to a miscarriage when I was about 6 weeks pregnant. This was about four weeks ago -- and now I'm having my first period since then AND it's mother's day weekend. I'm a wreck.
For me the most frustrating thing right now is that it seems like my husband no longer understands. When the miscarriage first happened, he was wonderful. Incredibly gentle and supportive. When I cried the first time we had sex after the miscarriage, he totally understood. When I cried when a friend was talking about how sad it is there are unwanted babies, he understood. But this weekend I am desperate for support and am not getting it.
If someone tells you, "stop lingering," it's more about them than about you. I know there's such a thing as over-prolonged grief, but I'm not there yet. I know I'm still within a perfectly normal grief experience. It's my husband who can't handle it any more, and it's SO SAD that his response is to withdraw from me and get angry instead of giving me the comfort and attention I crave.
I feel very, very lucky to have my mom and stepdad in town -- who love me very much. It's also really lucky that my husband and I are already in couple's counseling, so our relationship has some support.
I AM JUST SO ANGRY AT HIM RIGHT NOW. HOW DARE HE DENY ME COMFORT AND SUPPORT ON SUCH A CRAPPY WEEKEND!! Our relationship is almost always so very good and mutually supportive and loving, which makes it even more of a shock.
It is weird the words that I used before with all of the difficulties with family when I said that "That" was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. Now, I can honestly say, nothing is compared to what I've been through in the past month. Even though I found out both times 1 day and lost both of them with in 4 days each, it's still the most difficult times I've ever been through. I thank GOD for my 2yr old daughter and being able to experience pregnancy with her to term. She is my world and I love her with all of my heart. I really appreciate that now as to where I was SOO ready to deliver her before she was even due. Now I just want to experience it all the way through. I want to be able to just carry my baby and know that he/she is safe. I know that everything happens for a reason but I still can't help but to question, Why? Why me? Why now? Why my babies? What could I have done, or what did I do? The doctor told us that there is not an answer to any of these questions but to know that there was no reason that I can't carry full term next time. Which can't be until June. I'm thankful for that but I still feel lost and empty now. You know how it feels to become instantly attached to a baby when you get your positive results. I knew last month that I was pregnant but they just kept saying that I wasn't. I'm angry because I feel like this miscarriage could have been avoided if I had just been given the correct information and the correct treatment. I called t
We have an endless capacity to love. As women we don't limit our love when it comes to pregnancy. We love the little bunch of cells because those cells are a baby and that baby is a part of our future. When we lose our baby, we also lose that future we have been dreaming about.
I am always amazed at the coldness of some people. I think most of the time they are trying to protect themselves from your pain, and making less of it so they don't hurt. They can also be cruel unintentionally because they want to say something but they just don't have the ability. Also, to be blunt, there are just mean, nasty people in this world.
For all of you who have not been able to grieve for your babies, do it now. It is never too late. Write down everything about the baby and how everything felt. Talk to someone, perhaps a family member or friend, maybe someone from your church. See a counsler for a few visits for help knowing what you can do to come through your grief. Write to us here on the blog. We hear you and know your grief.
Like its crazy how you can love something so small so tiny..i just recently had a miscarriage a week ago..my baby was only 13 week old..im still kinda in shock still in disbelief..the hardest thing was when we had to bury it..we didnt even get to know if it was a boy or a ..the pain is still..my husband and i still live with the image of burying our unborn child..yeah it was only 13 weeks old but it was our baby..our first child at that..so i know what every woman who has had a miscarriage is feelin..and i wish there was this pill you can take so you wont have to go through this kinda pain
We have been trying for a baby for over a year. I have had 4 miscarriages and an etopic pregnancy. The 1st, 2nd, and 4th miscarriage all occurred about the 5-7 week mark. The 3rd miscarriage I had a d/c and was told there was no baby, just tissue. My body continued to develop a pregnancy without a baby. I found out after the 4th miscarriage, after doing my own research and asking for blood tests, that I had antiphosolipid syndrome (aps). This causes clotting during pregnancy that prevents the pregnancy from developing properly. My ob put me on baby aspirin, and instructions to go in as soon as I thought I was pregnant for daily blood thinners to treat the aps. After finding out I was pregnant, I began daily self injections of blood thinners. I was on day 15 of shots when I suffered an etopic pregnancy. My fallopian tube ruptured, and I had to have emergency surgery to remove it. Due to the blood thinner and baby aspirin, I bled heavily and have had a number of issues. At this point, I am not going to try any more. It has been a long road with nothing to show for it. I am emotionally drained and financially exhausted. I want to get pregnant again, but am too afraid. I have grieved each pregnancy knowing I was going to try again. However, this time I know I can't try again. I have a very supportive family, but it still hurts. My family says to stop. My husband says this is enough. I had bought baby items & maternity clothes. I now plan on donating them.
I lost my child at 16 wks 5 years ago, and never have been able to grieve for the baby. He/She would be would be 4 this month. I was 17 when it happened and I felt so alone and I still do. When I went to the hospital, the staff was uncaring and cold, my family didn't talk to me. I had to go threw this by myself and it still eats at me. I'm afraid to get pregnant again, I'm scared that the same thing will happen. I was told that it shouldn't matter because it was just a fetus. I never saw the baby, never heard the baby cry, so I should get over it and not think about it ever again. I don't know how someone could think that. My best friend was pregnant at the time also and when I called her she told me I was trying to make her lose her baby. That cut like a knife when she said that. What helped me the most is knowing that my child is with God now looking over me. And that He wouldn't have let me go through it if He thought that I couldn't handle it. So ladies, when you feel like I did, hit your knees and pray. HE will help you grieve for your child, He will help you heal emotionally. I can't say that you will get over it, because I never did, but the pain will lessen in time. Just pray and the LORD will help in this painful time of need for you.
I've lost 2 sons- one at 20 weeks and another further along. The last one happened just this past year and it was quite a shock. There just aren't words to explain the grief and sadness. The OB unit and nurses were a blessing. A small, strong Christian community and the hospital staff were so kind and compassionate. It made a world of difference in our life and certainly helped ease some of the grief. We have photos, the little hats our babies wore, blankets...
My daughter miscarried last night. She was only 5 weeks along, and although I had barely the time to get used to the idea of being a grandma for the first time, this is very much the loss of my grandchild to me. I'm not even sure what is normal to feel, but I feel a sadness, and loss not unlike when I lost my mother. I don't know how to help my daughter but just to be there for her. I don't know what to say to make it alright, or if there are words that are available in the english language to use. For the first time in my life, I have no idea what to do to make things better. My daughter is only 19, and although she is still very young, with years ahead of her to have children, it makes the loss of this baby no less painful. A nurse at the hospital last night made the comment that she was still too young and had many years ahead, as though she had no right to be angry and crying. I wanted to choke that nurse. How dare the insensitivity. As though my daughters baby didn't matter because she was young, and has time. As though she lost her glasses, not a human being. I am one of those who believe a baby is a baby at conception, so to me, this was a loss of a child. Sarahs child, my grandchild.
very informative blog here is a blog about women health pregnancy and tubal reversal
I first read this blog when I suffered an ectopic pregnancy (and lost my right tube) in aug 2009. Its been quite a journey since then....what keeps me going is my loving family, faith and definitly a positive attitude (though its hard at times to keep that!)...I still tear up at times when I think of what we went through as this was our first and very much planned pregnancy and we got pregnanct in our first month of trying. Some days are harder than others but I am hopeful that I will have a happy ending to this soon. Thank you for this blog and the information posted, mayo clinic is one of my primary sources of health information online.
.., i am really frustrated at the moment.. if anyone here lost a child, i guess you can imagine my pain as not having my own child... my husband and i are on our way for new methods to try out... i want to carry a child of my own.. hope this could help...
Trying to get pregnant quickly
If I may comment from the standpoint of a grandma...
My oldest daughter lost a beautiful son at 7 1/2 months gestation, stillbirth, in January, no cause ever discovered. He would have been their 2nd child. I find this loss is more poignant as time passes, as it seemed unreal at first. We all held him, grieved, had a service, etc. I made a memory box, too. His picture is in our homes, we think of him often. I know what my special nickname for him would have been. :) Hospital staff were wonderful to us all; the entire family, both sides, shared in this experience. I believe you should allow yourself to grieve; don't try to put it behind you. This child, your child, was and is real to you; you still have love for him/her, unrequited tho' it may seem. We are anticipating a baby girl now, my daughter is almost 5 months along. Anxiety will build as she nears the point at which she lost this son, but she's getting great prenatal care. We believe the best thing we can do is pray for them, trust His wisdom, and be there for them. All our hearts are on edge, just the same. I now have a brother and a grandson I'll meet 'someday', what joy. Meanwhile, we enjoy the family we have here. My heart goes out to each of you who have lost children! May your pain ease with time. Blessings...
The wounds of my broken heart are still healing as I've gone through the worst nightmare of my life in the last 10 weeks. I discovered that I was miscarrying at my 9 week prenatal visit and ultrasound. After 2 weeks, I decided to have the D&C and try to put this behind me. After surgery, I continued to have complications and 5 weeks later I hemorrhaged at home and had to have an emergency D&C for retained products of conception. Due to a significant loss of blood, I then suffered the affects of anemia for several weeks. Needless to say, it has been a very difficult time emotionally and physically and at times I feel that I haven't completely mourned the loss of the baby because of all of the concerns for my own health during this time. I know in time, this too shall pass and at some point when I am emotionally ready, I will make something special with the few things that I have from the pregnancy (pregnancy test, pictures, etc.) as a rememberance of that precious life. I do fear getting pregnant again, as I can't image going through this again. However, I am blessed to have a wonderful 21 month old little boy who brings me so much joy and happiness and now I have a little one up in heaven waiting to me!
I have always had a hard time communicating my feelings even to my husband. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks the friday before this last Easter. I was an emotional wreck for weeks, I couldn't even speak to my best friend who was also pregnant at that time, I couldn't watch pregnancy shows, nothing. Now we are trying to get pregnant again, and all I am is scared. I don't think that I could go through another miscarriage but yet in some way I think that having a baby might help the healing process...that seems selfish doesn't it. All I have of rememberance of my first baby is a picture of my husband and I 4 days before I found out that my baby was dead. To this day the memory of me laying on that ultrasound table is more vivid in my mine than my own wedding day.
its funny how u can miss & love a baby u din't ever plan for or even know about utill after u miscarriage
I have lost seven children to either miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. I do have three healthy children, and even a Grandson. When I lost my children, I grieved in private. Back then I was told there was a reason why the baby did not go to term. I believe I have emotional scars from each one that I lost, but do not even know how to go about healing from it. I was hospitalized with all of them overnight at the least, and most I had to either have surgury, D & C, and blood transfusions. The hospitals never sent grief counsolers or pasters to my room. The nurses just left me pretty much alone like I was taboo.
Any sugestions on how to grieve and heal for the children I lost would be wonderful.
I first read your previous entry about miscarriage when I lost my first baby in May 2008. I still visit the page to read comments that are there, and have volunteered with Heartstrings, an organization in NC that supports women who are dealing with pregnancy loss and a subsequant pregnancy after a loss. This organization really helped me during both and I long to support someone else in the way that I was helped. One thing that I did after the loss of our first baby was to create a memory box for him/her. My loss was at 9 weeks, so the tokens that I have are the positive pregnancy tests, the gift I gave my husband to announce our pregnancy, ultrasound photos, even the receipts from the dinner out when we celebrated the baby on the way. I also included the pregnancy journal that I started writing in and sympathy cards and copies of emails we received after the loss. On the anniversary of the loss, this past May, I brought the little box out and looked through it. This was huge in my healing and remembering of our baby. One day I can show our little boy, now 4 months old, these things and share with him about the sibling that he has, but doesn't have. For me, this kind of remembering is really helpful, and will be there with me in the years to come. Miscarriage isn't something you "get over"- but something you go through.

Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
In the Kitchen: Keep hot containers and drinks out of your baby's reach and unplug countertop appliances after use. Install locks on all low cabinets and drawers, as well as on the refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and trash compactor. When cooking always turn pot handles towards the back of the stove, and keep knives, sharp utensils, and cleaning products out of your baby's reach. Make sure your baby's high chair safety belt and tray are in working condition and you secure your baby in the chair at every meal and snack.
In the Bathroom: Store cosmetics, perfumes, hair care products, vitamins, and medicines in locked cabinets and drawers. Install toilet latches so your baby cannot lift the lid and do not use or store any electrical appliance near the bathtub or sink. In the bathtub, install childproof knob covers, non-skid appliqués or a rubber bath mat, and a soft spout cover on the spigot. Turn your hot water heater down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid scalds and burns. Once your baby can sit up, use a bathtub safety seat to help keep him secure and free your hands for bathing.
Outside and in the Garage: Playground equipment should be sturdy and free of sharp corners and edges. Swings and climbing toys should be set at least six feet away from fences and walls and anchored securely in the ground. Keep fence gates closed and check that the locks work properly. Store hazardous lawn equipment, sharp gardening tools, barbeque utensils, and lighter fluid in locked cabinets. If you use a gas grill, make sure to turn the knob on the propane tank to the closed position after grilling. Test automatic garage door openers to ensure the anti-entrapment sensors are working properly.
Remember that baby-proofing is an ongoing process; the gate put at the top of the stairs for your 8-month-old today may become a favorite climbing structure as he or she gets older. Baby-proofing is an important part of caring for your little one and with a little effort and diligence you can keep your baby healthy, happy, and safe.

You may know him from the FX series "Rescue Me," but actor Steven Pasquale paid his dues on stage first. He recently moved to network television with the NBC drama "Do No Harm." The contemporary Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde saga has him playing the dual roles of earnest neurosurgeon Jason Cole and bad boy alter ego Ian Price. Raised in Hershey, Pa., Mr. Pasquale found his way into acting in high school. Off-screen, the 36-year-old is married to Tony Award-winning actress Laura Benanti. They have a daughter and live in New York City. "Do No Harm" premieres Thursday at 10 p.m.
Playing this dual role, do you ever find yourself mixing up the nuances of the characters, especially the facial expressions?
You know, I don't because my strategy going into it was just to treat the Jason Cole story and Ian Price's story as two separate movies. So there is occasional behavior that overlaps, but they are just two completely different guys. I am just trying to play each as if it weren't a story about them sharing the same body.
So when you are shooting, is it all Ian scenes and then you go to all Jason scenes?
with Steven Pasquale.
See the "Breakfast With ..." archive.
God, I wish we did. It would be awesome to, like, do two or three days of Jason and then two or three days of Ian. What ends up happening is you shoot based on your location. So if it's, let's say, my apartment, then we shoot all of the stuff that happens at the apartment, and that oftentimes is Jason and Ian. We do a lot of finishing a scene, changing my clothes, running back up and then it's Ian. At this point, we are six months in, so I have wrapped my brain around the two of them pretty well. Early on, I was very nervous in terms of how different to make them, how severe to make their differences. But after seeing the re-cut pilot, I hope we are in the right direction.
You have done so much stage work. Is television a breeze in comparison?
Television is a completely 1,000 percent different skill set than being on stage. You know, I was on stage in Pittsburgh with "Miss Saigon" in 1997, Heinz Hall. I remember it well. I also played Heinz Hall with "West Side Story" in 1996. So I have spent significant periods in Pittsburgh.
You grew up in Pennsylvania farm country, so was the goal always to get out and live an urban life?
Yeah, central Pennsylvania, Hershey. I didn't realize what a love affair I would have with big city life until I got to New York City. In a place like New York, granted it's utterly unique, you can get and have and do anything you want at any time of any day. It's bursting with culture and the cream of the crop in all walks of life. That sort of energy really excites me. So I've had a love affair with big city life ever since I moved from my small town. But I have some very fond memories of growing up there.
Are your parents still in Hershey?
My parents retired to New York City, and my brother and both of my sisters ended up in New York City. We are all New York City transplants from Pennsylvania.
So when did you realize you had enough talent to make it as an actor?
Well, listen, the jury is still out. We'll see. I think when I was like 17 or 18 years old I thought, "I think there is something in me. I really believe I can make a career in doing this."
Now I didn't define what that was, whether it was just being a broke regional theater actor or a Broadway actor. I just wanted to dip my toe in the pool and see if I could, you know, make a life as an actor.
Did you study acting, go to college for it or get into it right from high school?
Pretty much right from high school. I went to [Southern Methodist University] in Dallas, Texas, for a semester, and I was in the process of transferring out when I auditioned for the National Touring Company of "West Side Story" in New York City. I booked that job and went out on the road for a year. Then I went out on the road for three years with "Miss Saigon," and I played 60, 70, 80 American cities when everyone else my age was in college. I had really sort of incredible on-the-job training doing eight shows a week. It was a rank-and-file, front-line, storytelling sort of way, so I learned an enormous amount about acting and storytelling and singing and being on stage as a very, very young person. When I got to New York, I felt pretty equipped to tackle life as an actor having done 31/2, four years of touring.
How intensely do you get involved in a character?
It completely depends on the project, to be honest. I'm not one of those actors who wants to live in some kind of dark character and wants to live in the darkness so much that no one around me has any fun. When you work on a television set, the crew busts their butt so long every day that I feel like it's sometimes an extra burden if the actor that they are dealing with's process is so dark that it's uncomfortable to be around. So I try to keep it light at work.
I'm guessing you like playing the bad guy better, so do you have to take care to give the good guy character as much attention to detail?
Of course. He is so deeply good that I don't worry about his likability factor. His sole reason for existing is to help people, and because of Ian Price's existence, he feels like there could be a lot of harm done in the world. He feels if he can keep the scale from tipping in that direction by helping people as a doctor, then he is going to stick around.
What have you learned about yourself in playing these two characters?
Well, I've learned that I actually am Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Every night I completely become a different person. I'm very different at 8:25 p.m. than I am for the rest of the day. In terms of this show, all that means is I become a sleeping zombie. It's an exhausting schedule, so when I get home at 8 or 9 o'clock, I fall into bed with my shoes on and wait for my alarm to wake me up the next day. But who doesn't relate to the good and bad in all of us? I certainly do.
Well, it's more like the idea that we compartmentalize our lives to some extent.
Ian Price doesn't have a buffer or a hesitation button in him when he says anything or makes decisions. Whereas Jason, who is a deeply earnest and good person, is really calculating about what he says and he does. Both I find strangely admirable qualities.
Now you can always say "Ian did it" when things don't go well at home.
Exactly. If I screw up in my actual life I can just say, "Hey, man, I was in character. Sorry I trashed that hotel room. Ian did it."
Speaking of your personal life, you are married to an award-winning actress. Do you run things by her, and are acting and characters a big topic around the house?
No, actually not at all. You know, our life is very complicated because she is working on a television show in Los Angles and living there, and I'm working here in Philadelphia. So it's the sort of classic bittersweet Hollywood story of two actors doing very well but not getting nearly enough time together. So our conversations tend to be about real life and not so much about work. Of course, as artists, we talk about the ups and downs and the frustrations, etc., depending on the day.
Last question: When you broke it to your parents that this is what you wanted to do, how did they react?
Their initial reaction was like, "Great, so you've picked the one thing in the world where it's like not a real job. Sweet. That's gonna make us feel really relaxed about the future."
But then they started coming and seeing me in plays at school and maybe saw that there was a spark of something that could be real. They have been incredibly supportive ever since then, to be honest, since I was 18.mobilehome - breakfast

this filler had so much promise when i first saw the previews but now i cant even stomach it. Nothing is really happening, its too long, i want to punch Yukimaru in the face, everyone except Kabuto and Guren are the worst villans ever, there is more talking than action, and theres not enough Tobi and Deidara. I give this whole arc a 2/10
I kinda get the feeling there's a song coming about "The one who thinks of you is the place you return to"

Skip to comments.Southern U.S.: Armadillos blamed for leprosy (don't eat Armadillo meat)
Posted on 04/30/2011 4:55:16 AM PDT by TigerLikesRooster
Armadillos blamed for leprosy
A strain of leprosy found in armadillos has been identified in dozens of people in the southern United States, indicating the skin disease can be transmitted directly from animals to humans.
6:19PM BST 28 Apr 2011
The report published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that the disease, most often found in India, can originate in the United States and infect humans who hunt armadillo and butcher the meat.
Leprosy, sometimes called Hansen's disease after the Norwegian doctor who discovered it in 1873, is a bacterial infection that causes lesions on a person's extremities.
About 249,000 new cases were reported globally in 2008, and about 150 cases arise in the United States each year.
Left untreated, it can lead to blindness and nerve damage that cripples the hands and feet, but it is usually curable with antibiotics.
The team of US and Swiss researchers looked at 50 leprosy patients in the United States and 33 wild armadillos with the disease.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
But... but... I thought God created Armadillos so Texans could have Possum on the half shell!
No big deal. These Texas speed bumps taste like chicken anyway!
What?! No more armadillo burgers? No more eggs over easy with armadillo steak for breakfast? No more armadillo chimichangas?!! Noooooooooo
Seriously, I must confess my culinary ignorance; I had no idea folks ate these critters.........if anyone could enlighten me, how do they taste?
Many years ago a friend and I shot one in Fla. and decided to cook it up.
We cut out the hams, no easy task, and tried to fry it like chicken.
It was so nasty my friend's dog wouldn't eat it, and that dog would eat anything.
Well....it really depends lon how long it has been sitting on the side of the road. If it isn't ripe, actually it DOES take like chicken. Not as "gamey" or oily as Raccoon though. Hope this helps!

Armadillo, the meal that jumped.
If you don't understand this, ask. The explanation is a little funny (but not to the armadillo.)
Armadillo Recipe:
1 1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
1/4 cup butter
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 armadillo, cleaned and cut into serving pieces
1 1/4 cup light cream
1 tablespoon brown mustard (e.g. Gulden's) or Poupon Dijon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Turn this recipe into a puzzle! [click]
Mix all ingredients of marinade and add armadillo. Marinate about 8 hrs., turning meat occasionally. Remove armadillo and reserve marinade. Melt butter in deep skillet and brown armadillo pieces. Pour in marinade and bring to a boil. Stir in seasoning, cover and simmer until tender (about 1 - 1 1/4 hours.) Remove skillet from the fire and place armadillo pieces on a warmed platter.
Mix mustard and cornstarch, then mix in cream. Return skillet to low heat and stir in this mixture a little at a time. Stir sauce until hot, but not boiling, and thickened. Pour sauce over armadillo. Serve with steamed rice.
CDKitchen note: this was posted to rec.food.recipes - we can't quite imagine eating armadillo - but hey, who are we to judge!
A Texas buddy once said he and his family ate these things all the time.
I didn't know if he was kidding or not...
I threw up a little in my mouth.
Has anyone told Anthony Bourdain?
I just had an armadillo and provolone sandwich for lunch.
Aren't they just armored rats?
I get interested in this stuff here in Texas, as that may be the only option for eating meat, for while, after the dollar crashes.
Must be good at removing shotgun pellets from games eventually.
I dropped a small (less than foot long pecan wood) stick on the head of one to get it out of my garden. That thing hopped, jumped and flopped around like it was in the mortal thrall of death itself!
I've never seen an animal put on such a fake show as that. Maybe birds trying to fake an injured limb to draw a predator away from the nest is the nearest thing like it.
I guess it is a survival technique because it sure freaked me out. I thought it was having a fit.
Good point.
This is going to upset the AR15.com boys!
hoover hogs
Obama Oinkers!
"Must be good at removing shotgun pellets from games eventually."
I'd think calling in a napalm strike would get the critter and also barbecue it. But I bet the veggies would be overdone, unless you're talking kudzu or collards.
Pardon me, do you have any Poupon?
Would smell like gasoline, though.
That photo reminds me of some parts of Maine as much as the south. The body of that old Olds on blocks would be rusted right through if it was, though. I'm calling southeast Ohio. They've got union written all over them, those two.

That would explain why the concrete blocks are supporting that Olds by its sheetmetal floors, rather than the frame rails.
Poor Huckadillo is not going to be pleased with this news.
I am not trying to offend but that is the most unappetizing food/animal/critter whatever that I have seen in a long time.
the infowarrior
What did the leper say to the prostitute?
You can keep the tip.
Nobody said they were bright, lol.
Why was the leper hockey game canceled? There was a face off in the corner.
Thanks for posting the Lone Star Beer armadillo photos, I'm having to work up a knitting program for Nine Banded Armadillo boot socks, and a clear shot of how the bands look is hard to come by. Should look pretty cool, the pattern's going to be drop stitch on a flat knit with lycra. Does the species always appear beige-brown-grey like this? I thought they were shades of grey.
If you want to get rid of annoying house guests, you might find it useful. Bring it out at the last moment, and most of them probably hit the door immediately.
I have known that armadillos are carriers of leprosy for most of my life. I wonder what percentage of the animals are carriers and do they die of it as well?
I have no idea! I was privileged to live in Texas for about a year in 1979/80. I remember a great advertisement for Lone Star Beer in which the fat, tall, old wife of a short, fat, cigar-ed millionaire mocked her husband with, "I know all about the armadillo!"
I do remember a LOT of roadkill armadillos though.
Me too.
Why are they treating this as some new discovery?
Around here (the South), we've know this our whole lives.
I've heard they have an odd habit of jumping and rolling into a ball when frightened, leading to getting embedded in the grilles of oncoming traffic, or worse, ping-ponged into the windshield.
I've only seen one live one in person, drove out to New Mexico from North Carolina during summer break when I was in college to visit with my dad in Las Cruces, he was setting up a manufacturing plant and was there for six weeks. That one was grey, almost silvery.
There was a long time leper colony in Carville, La. (Yes, like James Carville) that closed years ago. I often wonder why. Perhaps the National Health Service decided it was not contagious.
Pretty much the only critters who even *get* leprosy.
Armadillo is the most gristly meat I've ever eaten.

KHL Highlights - A Thriller in Minsk, Malkin and friends keep rolling, and Alex Semin joins a monster
Steve Dangle
October 26 2012 08:01PM
Want to see a bunch of hockey highlights featuring a bunch of fans actually enjoying that hockey and going nuts and stuff?
Today was a fantastic day of KHL hockey. Dinamo Minsk took on Barys Astana in Belarus for a thriller in OT, Malkin, Kulemin, and Magnitogorsk destroyed Spartak Moscow, and it looks like Alex Semin joined the right team.
***NOTE*** The Minsk-Barys game is only geo blocked in the United States. The other games are available worldwide.
Happy watching!
This game featuring Evander Kane, Pekka Rinne, Joe Pavelski, Viktor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh, and Nik Antropov was featured on MSG. Listen to the fans though. They're just going insane. Love it.
Fun fact: Evgeni Malkin usually plays on teams that are good at hockey. This is one of them.
Don't look now but Alex Semin might have created a monster.
And all three games in one, plus some bad news about Adrei Markov.

I have made OKC games a priority,however just looking at the crowd in that KHL picture you posted makes me nervous.In Canada I am in the safety zone at a hockey game ,surrounded by politely clapping Cotton-Tops,Grandpa and Grandma Smurf have left the Hidden Village and retired in the Big City to enjoy their Golden years and brought their money with them,and in case no one is noticing it takes a lifetime of retirement savings to be able to afford to go to hockey games here in Canada.
That KHL crowd looks excited,they look like a playoff crowd,makes me want to drop my cane and wave my hands in the air---ooops that might result in a 911 call in Canada--ha ha ha.There are some serious issues in these comments regarding the evolution of our game in Canada and the harsh reality that the economic burden on teams has resulted in ticket prices so high we price youth out of the Hockey market and we price seniors into the market.We are forced to adjust for the dollars wherever they may come from.
In a city like Edmonton that maintains a broad economic base we can float through economic doldrums and we always sell out the building,but look at what the end result is,money in the bank for the players and owners,great entertainment value for the seniors and no viable paying hockey fans in ten years because all the young kids were priced right out of the arena through their childhoods.
Hockey is destroying itself from within,and the main stakeholders are using a business model to do it intentionally.Everyone everywhere is trying to wring dollars and cents out of the Baby Boomer seniors,to the degree that they are overlooking in some cases the future economic suvivability of their businesses,creating an inflated bottom line that cannot possibly be maintained beyond the boomers.
Hockey in other countrys seems to be priced for and targeting a much different audience than we see targeted here in Canada,I believe we are truly seeing the future demographics of our world developing quickly.We are one big seniors home here and it is beginning to show through in every facet of our lives.If you can pay to take your family of four or five to a game and really enjoy it then your income must be astronomical,this includes pop and chips and hotdogs---not sitting there all poor and wishing,and I say astronomical because every family only has a certain % of income available for recreation --I didnt do the math on an Average Canadian or Albertan income but it is an easy look see--.
You see we never tell the entire truth,but it is what it is,do the math add up six average priced middleground tickets,parking,six pops ,burgers or dogs,six orders of nachos or other snacks,and then look at the average Canadian families income and calculate the percentage allotted for recreation--do the MATH and then look in the mirror and see if there is any integrity looking back at you.Tell us all if a family can regularly go to hockey games with their kids??Or do they need to save up and go once or twice a year??Is a hockey game supposed to be a once a year thing??A birthday gift or a christmas gift--maybe once in your entire youth??How many of those sellout tickets go to companies or corporate sponsers??Because this type of creative spindoctoring of the bottom line can make it appear that the people of Edmonton--the families--can afford to and are going to games ,when really many many tickets are corporate buys and the general population is priced out.It is relevant because the crowds I see in the KHL pictures do not look like they are priced out of games at all,there is a great youthful diversity in the crowd.Just sayin.

meanwhile, didn't the NHL games just get cancelled through November 30? yay....thanks a lot everyone!! :(
Keep these videos coming. If the NHL season is cancelled it would be nice if TSN, SN or CBC signed a contract with the KHL to televise a game of the week, plus highlight packages. If the KHL will cut a deal with MSG, why not with a Canadian network? Hell, why wait? Sign a deal for November with an extension clause.

Malkin scores 2 goals, leads his team in a blowout.
Rinne steals one at home.
Semin and Kovy both score in a surprising heavyweight bout.
Some nice plot lines they've got going in Russia right now. Jealous.
October 27 2012, 08:54AM
Good post new age. NHL priced me (actually i've probably always been priced out)
A KHL-like Canadian flavoured league would be the Cat's pajamas for me. Until then, it's junior hockey for me and the odd Oiler game on tv.
October 27 2012, 10:25AM
KHL reminds me of 70s hockey , end to end rushes hard hits and FIGHTS!! Yes please TSN , Sportsnet or even the Team pick up some games . Great markov is hurt again , another monster contract that is gonna burn the Habs .Pretty cool watching the little ruskie kids playing street hockey ..when did Russia become Canada ??

Finished off most of the 1990 Goodwill final. USSR keyed in on MacEachern and Amonte and the crappy summer ice helped the USA. The reffing was better than I've seen in some NHL games. I've watched Ottawa and Canucks get away with murder against funner-to-watch teams 2009, 2010. CSKA vs 1990 Mtl is next. That early 90's Adams division was stacked with Bos/Buf/Mtl being like TB/Bos/Yanks recently. Gaydosh and Charkes didn't have great yrs, maybe the Bombers should trade the #1 pick for more picks or for an OL or 1a/#2 QB? Pierce is fine when healthy. Markov and Volchenkov out means Jets are playoff team for sure. They are paying Enstrom way too much now. Chi won with the Huet contract I guess...
October 27 2012, 01:54PM
I tell you what: The Bombers are gonna kick the crap out of the Ottawa Rideaus!!

"If the Caps never get Evgeny Kuznetsov to come over they're screwed. He's unreal."
Yes, yes then we are screwed. And no one here probably knows him, but Alexei Morozov reached the 1000 point milestone a while ago :)

Skip to comments.MILLER: National assault weapon ban coming Thursday
Posted on 01/23/2013 4:21:18 AM PST by marktwain
Sen. Dianne Feinsteins office confirmed that she will be introducing in the Senate Thursday a new version of the so-called assault weapon ban. A spokesman said the full text will be released at a press conference on Thursday.
The California Democrat intends to expand on the ban that expired in 2004, by including handguns and shotguns, in addition to rifles. She would decrease from two to one the number of cosmetic features on a gun to have it be considered an assault weapon. This means that if a gun has just one item like a pistol grip or bayonet lug, then it is illegal. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law the same ban in New York last week.
Furthermore, instead of grandfathering in current firearms, she would create a national gun registry for the government to track lawful gun owners. Magazines would again be limited to 10 rounds.
The Clinton-era bill was not renewed by Congress after the Federal Bureau of Investigation and law enforcement agencies reported that it was ineffective in reducing crime.
President Obama said that a top priority is to get an assault weapons ban that is meaningful passed this year.
A summary of Mrs. Feinsteins legislation is below.
Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of: 120 specifically-named firearms; certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.
Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by: Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test; eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test; and banning firearms with thumbhole stocks and bullet buttons to address attempts to work around prior bans.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Hahaha, the senate can propose an "assault weapons" ban, but not a budget as they're required to do by law.
You can shove your ban deep into where that California sun doesn`t shine, DiFi. We won`t obey.
If they pass such a ban, I will, for the first time in my life, purchase an "assault rifle", before it goes into effect.
Good luck finding a new one. Not many to be had right now. You should have seen the light about six months ago!
I'm not personally aware of anybody willing to "register" anything.
"If they pass such a ban, I will, for the first time in my life, purchase an assault rifle, before it goes into effect."
You can probably find one cheap in a bordertown along the Rio Grande.
She should go there.
Is a "bullet button" related to "the thing that goes up"??? I thought I was reasonably informed on firearms terminology but those two just escape me. Can somebody please translate?
People killed in the last 25 years by:
pistol grips = 0
mounted bayonets = 0
This is like enforcing speeding laws by banning racing stripes.
National assault weapon ban coming Thursday
I saw a used Smith and Wesson M&P AR-15 Sport 223 for sale in a local sporting goods store yesterday. Asking price $2,200. Before all the talk about gun bans, you could pick up a new one for $640.
Lol. You waited till now? Geez! Good luck finding anything.
If they pass such a ban, I will, for the first time in my life, purchase an assault rifle, before it goes into effect.
It's why I bought my SKS during the Clinton years along with 500 rounds. I've put about 40 rounds through it since then, mainly to familiarize myself with the sights.
This rifle fires 3 round bursts AND fires on full automatic. They have been illegal in this country since 1934.
You have ALREADY eroded the 2nd amendment to the point that we can't even possess the "arms" intended in the amendment.
Enough is enough.
So, how does this person expect to get it through house. Even with Boehner as Speaker, the 'Pubbies are not gong to commit this sort of suicide.
I doubt it even gets out of committee in the Senate.
I don't see the House approving a ban. The Senate can vote all they want but it takes both branches to pass a bill.
But I thought Obama said that there aren't any bayonets anymore.
Keep making phone calls and writing them.
I do it three times a week.
Hell, half of the FReeper statements on these kinds of threads are all you'd have to tell them.
Dont remember O talking about doing this last year.
Kalashnikovs haven't gone out of sight nearly as much as ARs. And they are much uglier, too. My AK with all the fixins' (folder, pistol grip, drum mag, muzzle brake, attached bayonet AND imported) would give DiFi the royal heebie-jeebies. After all, she gave me the idea to buy one when I saw her brandishing it in front of the cameras back in '94.
They will have to pass it to see what's in it!
Thankfully I'm getting old enough that I won't have to go through fights for our liberty much longer. I'm getting tired of people saying "it's the guns, not the individual". I can remember prior to 1968 when you could purchase surplus WWII firearms from a firm in Alexandria, VA (Ye Old Hunter's Lodge or something like that) with no background check and have the item mailed to you. So prior to 1968 we had nothing to protect us, and where was our crime rate? I venture to say it was much better than now. But what happened to make crime increase? Maybe it was the fact that we started by killing our babies, Hollywood glamorized murder, or that poverty and drugs created pockets of high crime areas within our major cities? But no, it's not that....it's the guns! So instead of making individuals responsible or attempting to solve the real issues, we blame the inert object. I guess that fits in nicely with the "we're all special" mentality that's creating a nation of disappointed and emotionally immature youth that would rather rob their elders than work (with apologies to today's responsible youth that stand on principle).
States can choose not to enforce this. Just like CA refuses to enforce federal Pot laws, right?
Maybe Feinstein just needs to get laid. She is one of the crabbiest politicians I think I've ever seen. But I don't see that happening anytime soon unless you get another species involved.../s
The following sentiments were GOSPEL on FR just a few short months ago:
"There is no way SCOTUS will uphold an individual mandate..."
"There is no way Romney loses Ohio..."
"There is no way Obama gets re-elected with Unemployment over 7%..."
I sense a pattern here...
Come and get them.
Nope, not illegal just must have a special license to own one.
Good Point! Pick up your phones and hammer your congressmen with this. Also call John Boehner, give him your support on this budget mess...if he knows We The People are demanding rules apply to our elected also, he will show strength. DON'T let Obama continue to tear the GOP apart and trample our Constitution.....Fax Boehner a short note or call him today.
Phone: (202) 225-0600
Fax: (202) 225-5117
"Fully-accessorized" 5.56/.223/ar57 rifles around here are going anywhere from $2,600-3,500. NUTZ.
Registered automatic weapons are legal in most states.
Obama administration probably hoping for another shooting diaster soon so he can parade the little children out again and play on the emotions of the citizens.
Is anyone here under the illusion that the Senate will not pass this AND the House will follow suit AND the SCOTUS will uphold it AND most states will enforce it? I'm not; we are in different times, as evidenced by the majority crowning a new emperor who thinks he's a god.
Four years ago, there might have been an almost bloodless separation of states. Today, there is zero chance of that. It will be long; it will be bloody; and it will happen. Better that than living as slaves to the regime.
> with apologies to todays responsible youth that stand on principle
A few weeks ago I went to a class on The Constitution that was hosted by The Tea Party. There were probably 10 teenagers there and one maybe just a little older who knew The Constitution inside and out and had reportedly spoken at some other meetings. He was respectful, humble, and very intelligent and you tell he had a reverence for God. It was very obvious he is opposed to the current administration's agenda to change and defile The Constiution and that he will enter into politics here in the next few years.
Youth like THAT give me hope. It doesn't seem like there are many out there like that but I have run into more than I expected lately and it was obvious it was the parent's influence on their lives that made the difference. So do not despair, there is hope.
Impeach and remove or replace by the vote.
....but Friday my husband and I were in Walmart and checked the gun/ammo aisle...
...except for a few stray bullets, the shelves were completely empty.
I asked the employee if they were getting more....
...he said to be there in line the next morning at 7AM.....they would have a new shipment...
..and by the afternoon they would be completely empty again.
I'm beginning to think they are being staged. I mean, what are the odds? Unless the stupid liberal college kids are trying o assist him on his gun control agenda. Would I have considered it a possibility 5 years ago? No. Today? Yes. It's obvious the liberals are using the Alinsky playbook and and that the end justifies the means to them. At any cost. Oh what's a few lives when you need to get a ill passed that will be or the good of all? Yeah, that's the mentality in the WH we're currently dealing with.
it has to pass the house too, right?
what scares me is the cowards in the RINO party.

Are these people insane? Pistol grips and bayonet lugs do not kill people. When was the last time one private citizen was bayoneted by another?
I think the DC dwellers have forgotten about the 'consent of the governed' Thing.
the house may impeach...but the senate will NOT convict....this may come down to physical conflict...
I think it was stag arms that said they are up to a two year backlog in orders now. Heck, I literally bought my rock river AR a few days before conn. Fired leas than two hundred rounds through it in just one visit to the range to sight it in. I could probably sell it for triple what i paid for it. But i won't, its too damn much fun to shoot, and it pixxes off liberals that i have one.
Senator Feinstein, with all due respect (which is NONE for you, beyotch) - Canada already spent $2 billion to do this in a country with 10% of the USA's population, and finally gave up.
Are you really stupid enough to think that you're going to succeed with a government boondoggle of that magnitude when it's already been proven that it can't be done? Especially in a country with the gun culture and history of resistance to gun laws that we have in the US? What an incredible waste of the Senate's and the American people's time.
She can propose a completely unworkable law that likely won't even make it out of committee, but they can't pass a #$%## budget? It's time for a new Tea Party, again.
I propose that Swineslime release all of her armed security protection and walk the streets alone like the rest of us.
I suspect they are being choreographed. These things happen, and can be shaped by a choreographic media and the regime-types that pull their strings.
Oh, they're out there but you gotta bring your wallet.

Opens 6 December 2013 – 21 April 2014, Canberra only
Buy tickets here | Visit website
The National Gallery of Australia will host a major international exhibition, Gold and the Incas: Lost Worlds of Peru from 6 December 2013 until 21 April 2014. The exhibition will be on display in Canberra only.
Gold and the Incas is the first exhibition of Peruvian art ever staged in Australia and will showcase the splendour of the ancient pre-Hispanic cultures of Peru. Audiences will encounter the aesthetic depth, drama and beauty of the famous Incan empire and its predecessors. More than 200 objects, from scintillating gold pieces made to decorate the nobility in life or in death, intricate jewellery, elaborate embroidered and woven cloths to breathtakingly sophisticated ceramic sculptures will be on display.
For more than 2,000 years before the Spanish came to Peru, great cultures rose and fell, were conquered by others or absorbed into them. Almost every artefact that survives was buried with their owners, to be re-discovered in modern times.
Gold and silver were plundered by the Conquistadors, sent to Spain and melted down to make coins. But in the last 100 years there have been extraordinary archaeological finds, and much scientific research is occurring today. Sites such as Sipán and Chan Chan, Piura and Lambayeque have their own museums, and have generously lent some of their greatest treasures to the National Gallery of Australia.
Many extraordinary objects will be on view which belong to the Larco, Oro and Amano museums in Lima, all founded by Peruvian archaeologists and collectors, while the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History has a central role in national life.

Beginning at 1800 and continuing until the present day, Australia shows more than 200 years of Australian art on the theme of land and landscape. It is the largest and most complete historical survey of Australian art ever to be displayed in Britain.
Australians have a strong connection with their distinctive land and landscape painting. The exhibition traces the development of Australian landscape art, which was the dominant focus of Australian art for more than 150 years. Although this is mainly a painting exhibition it also includes prints, drawings, photography, video and some sculpture. It includes works by 38 living artists, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art makes up a quarter of the selection, with works ranging from one of the earliest surviving bark paintings to contemporary urban Aboriginal art. The theme of the exhibition reflects the importance of land and country to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and its influence on their art practice.
The exhibition will include works by Aboriginal artists such as William Barak, Albert Namatjira, Rover Thomas, Emily Kame Kngwarreye and a number of artists from the Papunya Tula group of the Western Desert. Nineteenth century European immigrants such as John Glover and Eugene von Guérard will also feature. Works by Australian Impressionists, Tom Roberts, a student of the Royal Academy Schools, Frederick McCubbin, Arthur Streeton and Charles Conder will also be shown, as will paintings by early Sydney Modernists such as Roy de Maistre, Margaret Preston and Grace Cossington Smith.
More recent artists like Arthur Boyd, Rosalie Gascoigne, Sidney Nolan RA, Fred Williams and Brett Whiteley are also included. The exhibition will end in the twenty-first century with internationally recognised artists such as Shaun Gladwell, Bill Henson, Christian Thompson, and Simryn Gill, who represented Australia this year at the Venice Biennale.
Visual art was the first art form the settlers developed, well before literature, music, dance and theatre. Aboriginal culture has always been highly visual and visual art remains the strongest art form in Australia. This exhibition provides the opportunity for the world to see Australians as the creative and visual people they are, and to appreciate the great diversity of the Indigenous and non-Indigenous art of our 'wilful lavish land'.
The exhibition has been curated by Kathleen Soriano, Director of Exhibitions, Royal Academy of Arts and co-curated by Dr Ron Radford AM, Director, National Gallery of Australia and Dr Anne Gray, Head of Australian Art, National Gallery of Australia.

Filmed on location in the stunning landscapes of western Queensland, Mystery Road's superb all-star cast also includes Ryan Kwanten, Jack Thompson, Tasma Walton, Damien Walshe-Howling, Zoe Carides, Robert Mammone, Samara Weaving and Roy Billing.
Mystery Road, which has its international premiere at next month's Toronto International Film Festival, opens at selected cinemas nationally from October 17.
