An opportunity to ensure that your organization gets
maximum benefit from using FEA
3-Day Training Course : Introduction to FEA Analysis
FEA has become widely used and universally accepted in many industry sectors. FEA is a powerful technique, able to produce solutions to challenging structural analysis problems. The technology and computational efficiency of the method, together with the rapid increases in computer processing power means that today the scope and size of simulations far exceeds the capabilities of even a few years ago.
However for those engineers embarking on FEA, or companies adopting the technique to improve designs or achieve certification of new products, there is a steep learning curve to overcome.
There are a bewildering array of element types, solution types, meshing methods and pre-post processing options that have to be faced. This is before we get down to the engineering physics behind the problem, with associated classic traps and errors. What is needed is guidance via a thorough but practical assessment of the method and how to use it in the real world.
NAFEMS, the only vendor neutral, not-for-profit organization with the aim of promoting the effective and reliable use of FEA, addresses this requirement by providing this three day example-driven, practical course.
Students are shown the background to the FEA methodology, via simple real examples with a minimum of theory. The strength and weaknesses of the various FEA techniques are shown and discussed. Practical considerations of loadings, boundary conditions and structural details are shown by numerous examples.
The assessment, validation and interpretation of FEA results are vital for delivering safe, effective products. A process is shown which provides confidence in the results and aims to provide conservative, reliable and qualified results. The attendees join in the activity of building this process themselves and come away with an embryo Procedural Check List
The course offers excellent guidance on how to assess and plan the task of carrying out a structural analysis using FEA. A clear understanding of the objectives of each analysis is vital and a road map for achieving this is presented. A review of the tradeoff between available resource and analysis methodology is given.
Interaction is encouraged throughout the course. Real world examples are given at every stage, drawn from the Tutors wide practical experience. Questions are very welcome, as this is one of the key aspects of making this a unique experience for each attendee. Attendee project examples can often be incorporated into the class as time permits, to benefit all. Role playing situations include the class acting as a syndicate to evaluate a Design Failure, critical assessment of an FE Report and the continuous evolution of the Check List.
The course is completely code independent, attendees are welcome to bring laptops to take notes, but they are not required.
A full set of printed and bound notes will be issued to every attendee.
This course is aimed at practicing engineers who wish to learn more about how to apply finite element techniques to their particular problems in the most effective manner. The material that is presented is independent of any particular software package, making it ideally suited to current and potential users of all commercial finite element software systems. This course is a must for all engineers aiming to use FEA as a reliable predictive tool for thermal, stiffness and stress analysis.
Companies moving into FEA technology to improve product designs or assess prototype failures or speed the design process will benefit from sending key engineers to this course. If you have sufficient engineers then a tailor made course may be more suitable. NAFEMS can then work closely with you to cater for your specific industry sector or analysis type.
The course is open to both members and non-members of NAFEMS.
Registration will be held on Tuesday morning between 9:00 and 9:30am. We will aim to commence the course at 9am on Wednesday and Thursday and finish by 5pm each evening.

We stayed at the Inn during Presidents week in February. We chose the Inn based on reviews but also because it was very close to Pat's Peak ski resort. The innkeeper has a tradition of making this particular week a "family week", which we didn't know in advance, but worked out fine because we had our teenage daughter with us.... More

Right. Big thanks for this songs - we are Scooter!Yeah, I think Back To The Past (We Are Scooter!) is everybody's favorite ) MC MC No diggedy H! H from Scooter!
Right - it isn't necessary to try some new styles like dubstep. The "Scooter-style" is their unique selling point..fresh and energetic tunes we need.I want the real Scooter to hear this album and make something like that. This is that way we, the fans, want them to sound.
As for the album, Quality isn't so good, but the spirit is there. Uplifting tunes, the good rhythm, everything is nice.

This is so cool... Among many other tidbits:
Juvenile birds learn these things early in life by interacting with the predators through testing their reactions. Juvenile ravens often will land nearby and nip them from behind. This so-called risky "play activity" is dangerous but ultimately aids in the birds' survival by providing information about the capabilities of various predators. By deliberately provoking them, ravens learn which animals they can trust and how far away they must stay to remain safe.

How Not To Be A Dick To A Little Person
From From: http://m.xojane.com/issues/how-not-to-be-a-dick-to-a-little-person
1. Do Not Refer To Little People As "Midgets."
There is a lot of confusion around this word, so let me break it down for you. There is nothing wrong with the actual word, midget; it's just a word to describe something that is very small, for example, Midget Carrots, Midget Car Racing, my ex-boyfriend is an emotional midget. The word midget becomes offensive when it's used to objectify a person of short stature, as in Midget Tossing, Midget Porn, Midget Rentals, where you can literally rent little people for parties and events.
Some little people don't mind being called midget, but I do. I've never heard the word 'midget' used in a positive manner; it always seems attached to some form of hostility. When was the last time you heard s... more »

Say YES To Saying NO
"Time is the raw material of creation. Wipe away the magic and myth of creating and all that remains is work: the work of becoming expert through study and practice, the work of finding solutions to problems and problems with those solutions, the work of trial and error, the work of thinking and perfecting, the work of creating. Creating consumes. It is all day, every day. It knows neither weekends nor vacations. It is not when we feel like it. It is habit, compulsion, obsession, vocation."

Don't Like 21st Century Abstract Painting? Don't Look.
I got home from the studio and my husband asked if that was paint on my thumb. I took a look and said to myself, yep, I've acquired painter's hands.
It started out as a crappy work day, ultimately sabotaged by those very hands dropping a freshly glazed board covered in the last of the reserves of the gray paint.
No problem! The will is strong even when the body is tired. I did what all artists do: cleaned up, carried on, and at the end of a rapidly improved day came home to revel in the first lilacs of the season.
Mmmmmmm. Lilacs.

How Does One Name One's Work Art?
How can this be called painting?
"Henrique Oliveira has a very peculiar way of painting, one that makes him a painter. The decision as to whether what he does is painting is not up to him, in this case. And it is this peculiar way of working or his artistic process that turns what he does into a very special painting. Far from conventional.
That would justify the development of his plastic research that has wood as the material of his installations and that I dare call paintings. It is not paint, but the scraps of wood that lend color to his "paintings." Wood scraps that carry the discoloration of time. They become paintings that do not remain on the flatness of a canvas. They are engineering works of complex pictorialness and subsequent visual precariousness. They are far from formal constructive paintings. They would be r... more »

"Over the years the family has amassed an estimated 300 Picassos worth $900 million, and about 4,500 other works by artists including Monet and Miró, many secreted in a duty-free warehouse near the Geneva airport.

I Have A Theory
Jerry Saltz posits one argument in favour of the shift of painting during the time of the Impressionists. My pet theory looks further afield, at the broader realm of 19th century visual art histories: the demons of photography were barking up the ass of these French painters.
It is known that both Degas and Monet frequently used photographic images as their source material. The move of Impressionism away from precise depiction was perhaps a declaration of the hand and imaginative potential of the artist now that they were free to work away from the onerous task of realism. This alignment of thinking became more obvious as photographers also declared the artistic merit of the photographic image as something other than the scientific document Fox Talbot envisioned - the hand of the pictorialist photographer worked both the surface and in-camera depictive space of... more »

Skyrocketing rates of wildlife shot in residential areas
on February 14, 2013 @ 6:43 am (Updated: 8:54 am - 2/14/13 )
Mike Pratt with the West Sound Wildlife Shelter has been working in wildlife rehabilitation for 20 years. He tells KIRO Radio's Andrew Walsh Show the problem of animals being shot in suburban areas has increased 50-fold in the last two years.
"In the past we would usually get one or two cases in a year where animals have been shot, but over the last two years we've been averaging over 50 a year. So, we're seeing a big, dramatic increase in this," says Pratt.
The shelter is treating animals with pellet gun injuries and some that have been hit by shotgun spray. Pratt thinks it has to do with people feeling threatened or annoyed by animals that really aren't hurting anyone.
"A lot of these animals are protected. Everything from otters, ravens, osprey, squirrels, vultures, eagles, songbirds," says Pratt.
The animals being shot are also leaving behind more orphaned wildlife than ever before. Pratt says when they find an injured or dead animal, it's not unusual to find a nest or burrow of babies somewhere nearby.

- Its a safe product Review by Nettie
Price Value Quality It seems to be working but rather slowly! I had some damage to my skin from trying to remove freckles from my cheeks using laser and it left me with dime size light brown patches..It seems to be working on the right side much better than the left side for some reason..its a slow process with the product but I have seen some improvement..I will probably have to always use it.... It doesnt have the harsh cancer causing agents in it..and well its expensive but it will last a long time because a little goes a long way...its worth the price..I gave it a four because its not overnite nor drastic results..!!
- Using to clear stubborn melasma Review by Angela
Price Value Quality For those of you that have been fortunate enough to not have experienced melasma you should thank your lucky stars as it is one of the most difficult skin issues to clear. I, unfortunatly do know it all too well. It is dark brown splotches caused from horomones from pregnancy, birth control pills and other causes. While there are many products that claim to clear melasma, I have never, ever fully been able to see a full resolve. I have tried many expensive products and many expensive procedures at dermatologists offices. I like that this product is hydroquinone free since that causes cancer. Thank you for creating a safe product. I received several samples and I am amxious to see the end result and I will difinitely follow up here with my results as they transpire.

- Best product for evening out skintone! Review by JYD, Morriston, FL
Price Value Quality I've used Obagi, Renova, Somme, and Ole Henriksen for years to try to even out hyperpigmentation around my jawline. The Ole Henriksen products made a difference, but I've seen more difference from using Immaculate Correction for two weeks than I saw from the Henriksen line in two years. I've even watched normally stubborn hyperigmentation from near-miss zits fade in days!
- Works wonderfully... Review by H.L., Albany, California
Price Value Quality I am in my early twenties, with very oily skin, and I've been dealing with quite a bit of residual acne from my late teens. As a result, I have stubborn acne scars that refuse to go away and hyperpigmentation that's accumulated over the years. I've tried products from Murad, Shiseido, and Philosophy, but nothing's worked like Immaculate Correction. I've only been using this product for a week and every morning, I find myself looking into the mirror at a clearer, more even complexion. My boyfriend has even commented on how bright my skin looks. It's a great, effective, yet gentle product. It is definitely expensive, but well worth the restored self-confidence it provides. I would assume that after achieving your desired results, you may not need to use it continuously...Thus, the product should last longer than your daily-use products. Highly recommended.
- really a miracle Review by Los Angeles, CA
Price Value Quality Your product had help my sun spots to literally disappeared! I was so depressed after just a week vacation in the carribean and developed leopard spots on my hand that I felt like crying- I felt my whole vacation was ruined because of these spots. Your product is really a miracle
- Great moisturizer but that's all Review by KL, Mesa, AZ
Price Value Quality I used this product faithfully until it was gone and the only thing it was good for was as a moisturizer. Nothing else about my skin changed. It's a lot of money to pay for a moisturizer. I would not recommend this to someone looking to clear up blotchy darkened skin patches.
- I think this is really working! Review by st, Sunny California
Price Value Quality I spent a lot of time researching products for melasma. After I read the article on this site (fabulous info there!), I finally decided to try this product. I had been using prescription hydroquinone 4%, but it was really hard for me *not* to get it on my normal colored skin. I've been using Immaculate Correction instead, and I think it is working! I have melasma on my forehead and it is slowly improving. This product cost me the same as the HQ 4% product, but I really like it a lot better.
- Remarkable Review by Happy!, Baltimore, Maryland
Price Value Quality I am 37 years old, and LOVE the sun. While I have been able to keep wrinkles at bay I have been left with an uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation especially on my nose and above my upper lip. After using this product for just a few short weeks I am now able to go without foundation - NO MAKEUP - because my skin has improved so dramatically. Don't let the price scare you. It is worth every penny. And since you don't need to use very much each day you won't need to buy another bottle for a few months.
- I can't believe I'm seeing results already!!! Review by JM, Chicago, IL
Price Value Quality I have been using samples of Immaculate Correction for about a week (along with my usual regime)and I am really noticing some results. I was really shocked to actually see some of brown spots on my fact lightening up after such a short time. Especially when most lightening products say that you should see results after 4-6 weeks. I am definitely going to buy the full version of this product and hopefully I can forego the foundation/concealer in mornings to come.
- a little greasy Review by boston, ma
Price Value Quality it's ok, I have been using it for about one week and I have seen some results.I'wait to see What happens.the downside it leaves your face with a greasy shiney look.
- Great product Review by ELD, Tampa, FL
Price Value Quality I am in my early 30s and I have some hyperpigmentation from picking at blemishes and a bit caused by the sun. I have been using this product for over a month and can honestly say that it has improved my complexion. I am also using some more aggressive methods such as photofacials, but I used this well before doing that and definitely noticed an improvement. I gave it 4 flasks instead of 5 only because it causes a bit of clumping/sloughing around the edges of my face at times, although this has improved with continued use. Good product!!
- This stuf is awesome!!! Review by USA
Price Value Quality I love this product. I purchased it because I am suffering from horrible hyperpigmentation from post partum acne on both sides of my face. The first time I used it, it just gives you like a glow. It is very gentle and smells good also. I'm hoping that it can help w/ these purple marks. Highly recommended.
- GREAT! Review by Cleveland, OH
Price Value Quality This product is very, very impressive. It not only has gotten rid of my old acne scars, it has also actually prevented new break outs!!!!
- I loved it Review by MA
Price Value Quality I received the sample packet of this with another order. The sample packet lasted me 3 days, because I was very conservative. In just those three days, I could tell an amazing difference. My skin was moisturized, I had no break-outs, the acne I had was clearing up dramatically, and I also noticed a glow I've been trying to achieve for a long time. My skin almost seemed like the skin of a professional model in one of those clearasil ads. On top of that, I only needed a tiny bit of the product to achieve those results. Naturally, I had to order the product and I cannot wait for it to arrive. I had the best luck applying this product after showering. No other moisturizing was necessary.
- Amazing! Review by A.B., Colorado Springs, Co USA
Price Value Quality I recently had a really bad time where a lot of acne appeared on my face. When it finally healed, I was left with a mass of red spots on both of my cheeks. By using this product, the spots have started to fade. Now they are only a faint pink. I can't wait until those are gone too!
- Barely any difference Review by L.T., Sacramento, CA USA
Price Value Quality I thought I would give this product a try, since most of the reviews were so positive. I have dark spots on various parts of my face due to sun damage, and acne scars. When I first bought this product, I bought it with the wrinkle revenge2, and body guard. I thought I was seeing a little lightening of the spots, but not much. I then purchased a second bottle thinking, I have to give this more time to work. Well I'm just about done with the second bottle and I'm not noticing any improvement. I think the wrinkle revenge2 helped more than this cream did. I was disappointed and will not be buying any more.
- See a difference after only a week! Review by B. F. , Birmingham, MI
Price Value Quality I've recently purchased a couple DERMAdoctor products including this one. I have mild-moderate blotchiness/discoloration on my jaw line which I'm self-conscious about. After using Immaculate Correction for one week I can already see a difference! My skin is very sensitive too and have had no problems with this product, I love it!
- DIDN'T WORK FOR ME Review by sr, California
Price Value Quality I've been hoping for a hydroquinone-free product that would work on my melasma spots. I've tried this product twice and it did absolutely nothing. I also tried using Retin-A to help exfoliate and get the product deeper into my skin, but no change. I have gone back to using RX strength 4% hydroquinone+Retin-A and my dark spots faded within a week.

The standard of care for muscle invasive bladder cancer is radical cystectomy +/- adjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiation. However, to improve quality of life in these patients, there is much interest in bladder-conserving therapies, using transurethral surgery and concurrent chemoradiation.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
There is a large move toward organ preserving treatment in all oncologic treatment. This is also true for bladder cancer. Although there have been many recent advances giving patients alternatives to urostomy(diversion of the urine to an external pouch), retention of the bladder can be good for many patients in terms of quality of life. Since OS and DSS is comparable to historic data and there was little long term toxicity from bladder conservation therapy, this is an acceptable alternative to cystectomy in motivated patients.

ROCKINGHAM — It's crunch time for the schools in the Southeastern Conference.
With only three games remaining in the conference slate, tonight's contests are vital if a team wants to hold onto its postseason dreams or watch them fade away.
On the boys side, it's simple — win and stamp your ticket to the playoffs.
Hoke County clinched its spot in the state 4A playoffs following its 92-44 victory over Purnell Swett Wednesday night. The Bucks are now 19-2 overall and 7-0 in the SEC. A win tonight at Scotland would allow Hoke to lock down the top seed in the SEC tournament because it swept the season series with second-place Richmond.
If Hoke were to lose at Scotland, it would open the door for not only Richmond but Pinecrest to finish at least tied for first in the conference. However, it would be a small chance for either because the Raiders and the Patriots will battle Tuesday night in Southern Pines.
Regardless of the outcome in Laurinburg, the Raiders (15-5, 5-2) have the opportunity to clinch themselves a spot in the playoffs as well tonight. A victory over Lumberton would guarantee Richmond could finish no worse than third in the SEC. A loss, however, keeps the Patriots, Fighting Scots and Pirates in the hunt for second.
Pinecrest (13-6, 4-3) is in the position of needing some assistance to hammer down its postseason berth. The Patriots would need to knock off the Rams, then have the Raiders down the Pirates to finish no worse than third in the standings. A loss would have Pinecrest scoreboard watching next week because while it swept the season series with Lumberton to hold that tiebreaker, it split with Scotland.
The Pirates and the Fighting Scots are currently tied for fourth with 2-5 conference marks. An upset victory by either tonight could be the difference in deciding the fourth seed in the SEC tournament. The two schools have a showdown looming Tuesday night in Lumberton. The Pirates captured the first meeting, 76-55, and a season sweep would give them the tiebreaker.
Even though it sits in last place, Purnell Swett (3-15, 1-6) still has a chance to slide up into fourth before the end of the season, but it needs a lot of help. The Rams need either the Pirates or the Fighting Scots to slip down the stretch while trying to pull off the upset against the Patriots and the Bucks.
Lumberton (16-4) and Scotland (15-3) have pulled away from the rest of field at the top of the girls standings and have clinched playoff berths. Pinecrest, Richmond and Hoke County are locked in a battle for third and fourth.
The Pirates and the Fighting Scots both have 6-1 SEC marks and the winner of Tuesday's contest will likely grab the top seed in the conference tourney. Scotland won the earlier meeting with Lumberton by 18 points.
The Patriots are 11-8 overall and 4-3 in the league and have a game remaining with both the Raiders and the Bucks. Pinecrest defeated both schools in the first matchup and have a big tiebreaker in their pocket — a 57-47 win over Scotland. A victory tonight over the Rams would guarantee the Patriots at least a fourth-place finish in the standings.
Richmond was in position to secure at least the No. 4 seed last week, but a loss to Hoke spoiled those plans. Now the Raiders are scrambling to avoid finishing in a tie with the Bucks, especially with the top three teams in the conference left on the schedule.
Hoke, on the other hand, has a game Tuesday against Purnell Swett, which is 1-17 overall and 0-7 in the SEC. The Bucks also has contests against Scotland tonight and the Patriots next week.
The Rams have an outside chance to finish fifth in the standings, but would need help to accomplish this feat.

I know it was mentioned on the news page at some point a while back, but some of you may have been wondering about the recent book Orson Welles: Six Films Analyzed, Scene by Scene, by Randy Rasmussen. Published by McFarland, the book is priced for library purchases mainly, at $45 for a paperback. The question is: is it worth it? Having had a look at the book yesterday at a local university library, the answer would be no. The book does exactly what the title says, looking at six films (Kane, Ambersons, Shanghai, ToE, Trial, Chimes - it's not really clear why the rest aren't included, beyond space issues) and describing, in fairly exacting detail, what happens in each film, scene by scene. That's pretty much it.
To be honest, if you've seen/own the films, this strikes me as something of a pointless exercise, and it doesn't read especially well as a result. Imagine reading a 30 page summary of Lady From Shanghai. That's the section I photocopied, and I gave up reading it after a few pages. Why read this when I can watch the film? I respect the effort, but what was the end goal here?

Sewickley Community Center Prepares to Upgrade Gym Floor
Work to install a new gymnasium floor is expected to begin in the spring, thanks to a $13,000 matching grant from the Sewickley Valley Community Fund.
Bob Patterson sees the Sewickey Community Center opening up their space to accommodate more local programs once upgrades to the indoor gymnasium are complete. It will be sooner rather than later, thanks to a $13,000 boost from the Sewickley Valley Community Fund. The matching grant will help pay for half the cost of a new wood gymnasium floor. "They were gracious to give us $13,000," said Patterson, board member at the community center. "We're very thankful for that." The Sewickley Community Center qualified for the grant after raising more than enough matching funds through a combination of donations, grants and fundraisers that included a raffle for Pittsburgh Steelers tickets. In December, the SVCF presented the check, which …

If you believe that all abortions are possible mothers saying "Kill It"...I think you are the one who needs to get a grip.
Why do all Pro-Life people assume that Pro-Choice means Pro-Abortion? WTF!
I sadly know two women who have had abortions...I couldn't make the decision they did...it is a decision that has plagued them their entire life...but it was their decision. They weren't carelessly 'dicking' around either.
Beetlejuice...you wanna be cute and fly a USSR flag for Obama...why don't you post an Iranian flag for McCain and his "Choice" to refuse a womans choice.
I agree that our moral-fiber is something to be questioned. We are in a bad place. Teenage girls have become whores and many parents are doing little to change it. We have a real problem. What happens once you pass an abortion-ban. What happens to those children?
And why is it that so many Pro-Lifers are Pro-Gun? Don't "murder" and unborn baby...but shoot a fucking moose in the head and brag about the ability to field-dress it. WTF...was the moose threatening someone? Did it possess WMD's? Owe, it was to feed the village and protect the children!:lol
if big IF MCCain gets into office palin wants bounty hunters to shoot wolves
and cut off thier paws off... she's says she prolife
Sarah Palin, predator control, shooting wolves | Salon
Ahh. Sarah Palin. What a wonderful loving women she is in how she is justifying the killing of wolves. Her "moose" excuse is a lie which was proven by a guest from the Rachael Maddow show and this article is a must read for all who want to know where Sarah Palin's heart is. It clearly belongs in the snow of Alaska . Below is a little clip of the article on what length she will go to get these wolves killed. You decide.....
Palin offered the $150 bounty for wolf paws in 2007 after efforts to kill wolves from airplanes that season were, in her view, coming up short. State officials had hoped that 382 to 664 wolves would be killed during that predator-control season. State officials were disappointed when only 115 wolves were killed from the air.
we decepticons now face our darkest hour:megatron from transformers prime
They live... Duh. you know, if a woman is pregnant, and the baby dies form some kind of substance abuse, she gets charged with neglect. Yet if it's okay for a doctor to kill it. Makes little scene to me.
I'm sorry you have been effected by the first "great forgetting", which is something has to die for you to live. and also, having a gun isn't about killing something. It is about protecting one's self. We have a right to bear arms, because we have the right to protect ourselves.And why is it that so many Pro-Lifers are Pro-Gun? Don't "murder" and unborn baby...but shoot a fucking moose in the head and brag about the ability to field-dress it. WTF...was the moose threatening someone? Did it possess WMD's? Owe, it was to feed the village and protect the children!:lol
"...my heart is turned to stone; I strike it, and it hurts my hand..."
You can't dictate sexual behavior period. You can't dictate what a woman can do with her body. It's the price you pay for freedom.
Leave to you some to tell every one sex shouldn't be a pleasure and only used for pro-creation.
How about Republicans/Conservative start supporting sex ed in school and stop fussing over condoms being given out at schools?
You guys speak as if abortion is something people long for and celebrate it as a family event.
Your photo was in bad taste and poor judgement.
Because governments can't tell a woman what to do with her body. Get it through your head.
Sense.Makes little scene to me.
Actually, the 2nd amendment was put in place to protect the 1st amendment. Something that is hardly done by 2nd amendment supporters.having a gun isn't about killing something. It is about protecting one's self. We have a right to bear arms, because we have the right to protect ourselves.
Millions of people go through life without having a gun. Most murders are based on the premise of surprise. Surprise the victim so he/she won't have time to defend themselves. How many stories do you hear about people actually successfully defending themselves with a gun? Not many. In fact, everyone in the crossfire usually dies.
BTW, no one in this thread is advocating for guns to be done away with. Just need stricter gun laws.
There are more important things right now than gun rights.
OK, I'm siding with you for the majority of the political arguments currently in effect, but I can't let most of what's above slide.
Self-defense with a gun =/= pulling it out and filling the skies with lead and cordite most of the time. In fact, I couldn't even begin to account for all of the accounts of people having defended themselves from a crime simply by just indicating to the aggressor that they have a gun and, thus, are capable of defending themselves. I'd run out of appendages to count with, for starters. And that whole idea of "everyone caught in the crossfire usually dies?" Well, if you're a gangbanger with a MAC-10 and your main source of gun knowledge is Boyz in the Hood, then I guess that would be true. However, for most everyone else who knows how to handle a gun and handle themselves in a gunfight (where applicable), that's just bullshit. If that were the case, then the North Hollywood shootout in '97 should have produced a lot more casualties than it did.
Stricter gun laws? Not really. Frankly, I'd rather see classes or some form of training become mandatory for owning a gun, and that training could vary depending on your reason for wanting to own one (competition, self-defense, hunting, so on and so forth). That would work a lot better than the Assault Weapons Ban that expired in '04. And you know, actually enforcing the laws already on the books would help too - IIRC, the Virginia Tech shooter got his guns despite his medical condition, which Virginia law should have prevented. Stricter laws won't stop the criminals from getting their firepower; it will only keep the ones who truly need it from having it when the time comes.
Again, I agree with most of what you said, but you're rather off base when it comes to this.
"You can't fix stupid." - Ron White
The thing is, it's not her body that is being killed. How old you you have to be for the law to be able to protect you? how long do you have to live before the act of kill you is murder. When do you get a soul? when do you feel pain? when do you get your will to live?
but you know what. I'm not even against abortion because of the killing involved, and make no mistake that it is killing a living thing. No, I'm against it because it pretty much negates the responsibility of having a healthy relationship with some on. It seems as the years go by, casual sex and divorce become more common place. People don't care for one another, because there is no reason to. We say "till death do us part" with our fingers crossed, and we control-alt-delete our offspring.
Excuse me if I find that just a little scary.
Now granted I don't think abortion should be down right outlawed, because there are cases of rape and the threat of the baby killing the mother.
As for the picture, I don't think it was in bad taste. It seems like I'm the only one considering them human, so I don't see a difference in post that vs a slab of beef. There both just hunks of meat after all. It's not like I showed a gruesome murder were the victim was burned from the inside out.
what clutch said.

"...my heart is turned to stone; I strike it, and it hurts my hand..."
Now, uraydo, much the same way I just crawled up nelson's ass, I'm headed up yours.
You raise good points about abortion, and I'm not about to try to answer the moral questions present in that topic. That said:
1) People not caring about meaningful relationships is not nearly as prevalent as you would make it out to be. I have yet to see anyone who's divorced that didn't have some raw, underlying reason for getting that divorce that every now and then comes oozing to the surface and threatens to send me and most everyone else in the room scrambling for cover. And usually, when I see people break up, they're not all "Oh, that didn't work - I'm going to try this next." They're pissed, for a good little while. The behavior you speak of just isn't that prevalent unless you're either constantly around a bunch of high-school grads or you're thinking that same gangbanger "Damn the world, I'ma get mine" logic I just called nelson out on.
2) The picture was in bad taste. I don't care what kind of a point you're trying to prove - you pull something like that, and you'll drive away more people than you convince. I'm sure you can make a point without resorting to PETA-level tactics.
"You can't fix stupid." - Ron White
A three-day-old human embryo is a collection of 150 cells called a blastocyst. There are, for the sake of comparison, more than 100,000 cells in the brain of a fly.
Most of the embryos that are aborted do not have brains, or even neurons. Consequently, there is no reason to believe they can suffer their destruction in any way at all. It is worth remembering, in this context, that when a person's brain has died, we currently deem it acceptable to harvest his organs (provided he has donated them for this purpose) and bury him in the ground. If it is acceptable to treat a person whose brain has died as something less than a human being, it should be acceptable to treat a blastocyst as such. If you are concerned about suffering in this universe, killing a fly should present you with greater moral difficulties than killing a human blastocyst.
Perhaps you think that the crucial difference between a fly and a human blastocyst is to be found in the latter's potential to become a fully developed human being. But almost every cell in your body is a potential human being, given our recent advances in genetic engineering.
Every time you scratch your nose, you have committed a Holocaust of potential human beings. This is a fact. The argument from a cell's potential gets you absolutely nowhere.
While abortion is an ugly reality, and we should all hope for breakthroughs in contraception that reduce the need for it, one can reasonably wonder whether most aborted fetuses suffer their destruction on any level. One cannot reasonably wonder this about the millions of men, women, and children who must endure the torments of war, famine, political torture, or mental illness. At this very moment, millions of sentient people are suffering unimaginable physical and mental afflictions, in circumstances where the compassion of God is nowhere to be seen, and the compassion of human beings is often hobbled by preposterous ideas about sin and salvation. If you are worried about human suffering, abortion should rank very low on your list of concerns.
Fine, since I can't pull my soul out and show it to you, or give you God's telephone number, I won't press my view of it being pointless death. Hell, I'll even tell you that picture I posted was a relatively late abortion. Like I said before, my issue with abortion isn't with the kill, it is with the moral decay.
I believe there are reasons we should take sex seriously, and I think abortion is one of the reasons we don't. if we could, as a world, stick with one or two sexual partners, sexually transmitted diseases would be a thing of the past. If we could do it as a country, I'm sure it would put a big dent in it.
Now don't take me as an idiot. I know this will never happen. I know how screwed up our moral compass is. But still. abortion takes away from peoples responsibilities, and I don't like that.
"...my heart is turned to stone; I strike it, and it hurts my hand..."
Hey Uraydo...I want you to know that I completely agree with your concern of our deminishing morality. It scares the living crap out of me. And while we have varying view points of the Roe Vs. Wave issue, I stand beside you in the concern of our current and future moral view. Being a 31 year old male, and hopefully a future dad, I am terrified by the modern free-love mentality. The dramatic rise in std's is frightening as is the view of casual sex by younger generations.
My only hope is that our conversations on these delicate topics do not influence the kind conversations we have all shared regarding films, cars, transformers and chicks.
I'm watching the vice-presidential debate right now.
"The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they're genuine." - Abraham Lincoln
I admire your enthusiasm, honestly I do, and I would never have an abortion myself. That said, I also treat my body with respect, choose my partners wisely and am pretty smart about sex. A lot of people don't have the advantages of my knowledge, though. I am absolutely pro-choice because I cannot assume responsibility for what other people do. I don't want my taxes to pay for some screwed up kid that nobody wanted whose life is going to be hell. Yeah, you feel for the kid, but are *you* going to raise it? I don't want some rape victim to put herself in further danger by suffering through an illegal abortion in a dark room somewhere. I don't want some nice young couple to have to sit there and watch their child die slowly and horribly before it even reaches kindergarten because it was born with Tay-Sachs.
I'm pro-knowledge. Only sexual education can prevent the kind of moral decay you're talking about and every time a conservative fights against sexual education they advocate the kind of dangerous ignorance that leads to that decay.

"The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they're genuine." - Abraham Lincoln
Just watched the debate. The verdict...not neither, but both. Both Vice-presidential candidates did a heck of a job. In my book, Sarah Palin has proved herself to be a good debater while Joe Biden maintains his reputation as an experienced debater. It's too bad this is the only vice-presidential debate.
"The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they're genuine." - Abraham Lincoln
That and she kept saying "maverick" but never said anything to justify it.
I have been leaning for McCain for a long time because I thought he would do a better job of achieving fuel independence. However, with the economy the way it is, I don't think fuel will be the fix I was hoping it to be.
"...my heart is turned to stone; I strike it, and it hurts my hand..."
I think Biden hit it out of the ark when he confronted her with the differences of Bush's policies, when he called her on McBush's love for deregulation (she couldn't defend McBush), when he called her out for calling her and John "Mavericks," and when he said he was a single father in the past.
CNN is reporting the following: 51% of those polled thought Biden did the best job in Thursday night's debate, while 36% thought Palin did the best job.
Sarah Palin did not make any new converts. Republicans say she proved she could rise above expectations. Which brings me to the point: How can someone say that she "exceeded expectations" like it's a GOOD thing? Why can't anyone hold her to a realistic standard?
Sarah Palin was phenomenal. She had real enthusiasm, reestablishing her credentials. So much pressure on her tonight, she aced it.
Senator Biden was calm and professional. Clearly experienced, and a very good debater. Two different styles.
Palin didn't help McCain much though, more a rescue operation for herself.
John McCain missed a big opportunity not opposing the Wall St. bailout plan, undercutting his message of reform. The Maverick siding with the establishment. Bullshit. His campaign is fucked up.
Sarah Palin 2012.
Take a guess.Sorry this isn't on topic with the whole abortion thing, but what exactly caused 26 people to flock to this thread and vote Obama overnight? Just curious. I too, was surprised by this huge jump in numbers in just one night.
Thank the administrator of shootfortheedit.com, Nelson. The votes are rigged.
37 for Obama. 26 in one afternoon, very impressive.
The Republican's campaign has been totally blitzkrieged by the Wall St. bailout fiasco.
McCain should not support the bailout, it's against everything Republicans stand for. He's fucked up big time.
No escape now, Obama by a landslide.
And btw, Sarah Palin is not an intellectual, she is not a brilliant orator, and she is not part of the Washington elite.
Accept the cultural/social divides of America. Palin is a good politician with strong beliefs.
Disagree with the Governors policies, maybe, but don't question her intelligence. Sarah Palin's academic record speaks for itself.

Photos: 2010 Buick Enclave
The Enclave combines outstanding utility with premium touches not usually found in such a roomy vehicle, according to a Cars.com road test. Read Kelsey Mays' complete review.
Image 1 of 10
Luxury at lower price
Though today's minivans have enough options to spiral beyond $40,000, the market never really saw the need for a dedicated luxury model. Instead we have a collection of luxury crossovers and SUVs, many of which give up a big chunk of utility in the name of styling, performance or plain old opulence.
The Enclave provides a compelling response to that: For a reasonable price, it combines near-minivan utility with entry-luxury quality. That's a rare combination. |

A vintage photo of Mallwitz's Island Lanes, presumably from the 1980s, shows a much different alley than the one that stands today. Its patrons are dressed and coiffed for the times, bright yellows and reds flash across the walls, and strikes and spares are scrawled by hand. A modern-day snapshot illustrates the transformation that has occurred since the center's 1980 opening: 24 lanes feature computerized scoring systems and freshly oiled surfaces that glisten in the muted glow of black lights like a newborn's head after his first waxing. Other contemporary touches include a full bar, complete with a food menu headlined by popular wings.
The dedicated teaching professionals at Village Glen Tennis Club oversee a wide variety of programs for adults and juniors of all skill levels, earning the club recognition as a Top 50 Tennis Welcome Center of 2007 from the U.S. Tennis Association. This honor followed on the heels of a major renovation of the club's facilities in 2006 by a new management team, who modernized the six hard and eight clay courts and brought in new nets instead of pealing white picket fences. Today, players can take up the game through a series of classes that help them progress alongside players with similar abilities or hone specific strokes through drills designed to isolate and improve their technique. Players excited to show off a shiny new forehand or a pitch-perfect grunt can do so through the club's adult leagues or socials.
A Golden Griffin emblem presides over Canisius College Athletics' 17 sports teams, which traverse grass, water, and hard court in search of victory. As part of the NCAA Division I's Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), Canisius's athletes face off against other East Coast schools including Marist College, Niagara University, and Loyola University Maryland. From the stands, a sea of blue and gold cheers on the men's basketball, hockey, and lacrosse teams, the women's soccer, softball, and volleyball teams, and the adjunct professors' annual soapbox derby.
Since 1861, the Buffalo Society of Natural Science has culled more than 700,000 specimens and artifacts from around the world. These treasures now reside in the Buffalo Museum of Science, allowing visitors to explore anthropology, paleontology, and zoology, with a special emphasis on the Buffalo Niagara region.
Special exhibits encourage guests to learn about the world around them through hands-on education. This fall, The Science of Sports teaches a number of athletic secrets, from throwing the perfect Hail Mary pass to creating hockey ice that fosters the fastest skating. Opened in March 2012, the Explore YOU health science studio allows visitors to learn about their bodies while studying recent medical technologies that help keep the human race healthy. The earth systems studio Our Marvelous Earth opens in October to explore geological phenomena, extreme weather, and alternative forms of energy with its interactive exhibits and displays. Elsewhere, mummies share their stories of living in Khent-min through the collected artifacts and forensic evidence on display in Whem Ankh: The Cycle of Life in Ancient Egypt. During the next four years, the museum will continue to add new exhibits and improve others with new, interactive technologies.
A fleet of segways ferries tour takers to scenic outposts in downtown Houston and along the historic bayou during four tours, seven days per week. Guides lead groups of up to eight riders in snapping sunset pictures during the Twilight Bayou tour and spout off historic anecdotes during the Houston History tour. In addition to tours of the city and scenery, friendly guides can travel with a brigade of segways to a client's home or office to teach friends, families, and coworkers how to navigate the two-wheeled steeds more effectively than a renowned segway whisperer.
Bing Crosby. The Marx Brothers. Frank Sinatra. These are only a few of the luminaries who have trod the boards at Shea's Performing Arts Center over its nearly 90-year history. Shea's originally opened as a movie house in 1926, shortly before the advent of talkies. Partnering with Tiffany Studios to create an extravagantly lush interior, Chicago architects C.W. and George L. Rapp modeled the opulent venue after a European opera house and created a Neo-Spanish Baroque masterpiece in the process. Tours of the venue provide an up-close view of its grandeur and many electrical outlets, and they benefit the center's ongoing restoration initiatives. Shea's Performing Arts Center also houses the Western New York Entertainment Hall of Fame, whose inductees include stars such as Lucille Ball, Buffalo Bob, and Christine Baranski.

Focus on Scheduling. Only the 'Lean' Survive!
Volatile fluctuations in customer demand from one day to the next. New product mixes being developed at a rapid pace to attract new customers. Resources being slashed. Does this sound familiar? Does your business have the agility to respond quickly to the turmoil of the recession? Does your business have the foundations in place to 'make to order' rather than 'make to stock'? Sounds like you need EmsPT Finite Capacity Scheduling [FCS] Solutions on your side.
Why you need to automate your Scheduling
Scheduling for dynamic demand fluctuations is extremely complex and time consuming. Spreadsheets, Wall Boards and ERP/MRP software are not enough. Each product mix needs its own set of processes; imagine identifying thousands of potential routes in a process environment without computerisation. Add 'lean' stock-holding budgets and limited space into the mix and FCS solutions is your best option. Why? Because none of the alternatives above can reflect accurately what is happening on the shop floor. And for a business trying to survive the recession, that's a hard decision, not a smart decision. Our customers have found EmsPT Scheduling Solutions to be more accurate than their incumbent system - why not talk to us and see why!
