Lason Jackson, better known as La the Darkman, is a Wu-Tang Clan affiliated rapper and MC from Grand Rapids.[1]
Jackson was born in New York City, New York and grew up Crown Heights, Brooklyn with his brother William Jackson.[2] He negotiated his first deal while finishing high school and was a protégé of the Wu-Tang Clan having grown particularly close with various members. Jackson later secured a distribution deal through Navarre Distribution, with whom he released his debut album Heist of the Century in 1998. He later toured with several singers and groups such as 50 Cent and the Wu-Tang Clan, as well as launching his own management company and children's clothing store.[citation needed] Jackson later relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, where he worked with Aphilliates Music Group and Embassy Entertainment, later negotiating a joint-venture deal with both companies for Universal Records.[citation needed] He also worked in a business capacity for DJ Drama, setting up booking arrangements and endorsement deals.[citation needed] Jackson also helped executive produce the album Gangsta Grillz.[3] The two would eventually stop working together.[2]
Jackson's Heist of the Century album was largely panned by WARR.org, saying that "[a]lthough there are no horrendous tracks, there's also little of the unique energy that characterizes most Wu-Tang releases, and there's no strong argument for picking this up unless you're a Wu completist".[4] Heist of the Century later placed 37 on Billboard's "R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" on December 5, 1998.[5]
Singer/actor Drake has called Jackson one of the "Hottest MCs in the Game" although he was really talking about La the Darkmans brother, Willie The Kid.[6] Vibe praised Jackson's participation in the Uncontrolled Substances album, calling his overtures "seductive".[7]

Your prognostication is not just "nuts", it's crazy to the point of lunacy.
No way, no how, no sir, the falcan't team isn't going to get anywhere near the Mercedes Benz Superdome in February. They got too many weaknesses on there team. Weakness at QB, which in it of itself will keep them out of the running, weakness at TE where they have a guy almost as old as Mark Bradley pretending he's still a difference maker, weakness at running back where they have another old guy that is simply burnt out, and weakness at WR where they have a loud mouth, butter fingered goof ball, their kickoff specialist can't reach the endzone, even with the ball 5 yards closer, their middle linebackers are the weakest in the division, and they special teams returners are shaky at best.

August 7th, 2012

At least Bradley here is not demented enough to buy a full page newpaper ad in the AJC to guarantee a Super Bowl victory like some other half-wits.
Fortunately, falcan't fans can take comfort in knowing that someone from the NFC South Division is going to win the Super Bowl this year, it just won't be their team.
August 7th, 2012
6:39 pm
They certainly seem to have the talent in all the key places both sides of the ball. The injury element is always an unspoken factor and how well subs step in and don't make excuses.
Seems as though their issues have been offensive imagination and defensive aggressiveness. Hopefully, these two issues have been remedied with new coaches.
Given that, it will come down to "want to" in this age of paritiy when on any given Sunday you can be beaten.
The reality seems to be that the winner will be the team that wants it the most.

This is an absolute joke!…………..a real good chance the Falcons will miss the playoffs. Vegas oddsmakers have them on the outside looking in and are currently priced at nearly 30 to 1 to win the SB. Didn't Bradley pick this last year too? Melt makes plenty enough to afford a comfy box to sit and watch the SB in NO. If the Falcons had any chance at all(which they didn't), the Bradley curse just officially killed it!

My friend, your lunacy is only exceeded by your Troll Fail which only you know why you fail at everything else, probably your parents. Sure, knock on our Top 10 QB, Hall of Fame TE, possibly the best tandem of WR in the game today, our NFC rushing Champion 2 years running. "Kick off specialist"? You don't know our kickers name do you? Special teams returners shaky at best? Hell, we haven't had to even use 'em yet. But I am sure you've SeenThemB4. And PLEASE, don't even talk crap about our D, your who dat crap aints have less D than the high flyin' Falcons ………..!!

7 wins due weak head coaching, average QB play & slow ability to learn new schemes on offense and defense. It's hard to say but the Saints without a true head coach still have more organizational stability. Smitty is not a top 10 head coach….go ahead count them and prove me wrong.

Falcons do not have a playmaker at QB. Until they get that they will continue to be a good regular season team. When it's time to put up or shut up, sometimes you just need a guy to make a play. Like Eli in his super bowl wins. Arron Rodgers makes plays, Drew Brees makes plays, Tom Bradey makes plays. Ryan plays the game, he doesn't make plays

@Sid: You all don't have a top ten QB, at best he is a mid of the pack QB. He didn't even make the top 100 NFL players list! LOL! And yes, your TE should already be in the HOF, rocking in a chair instead of getting shamefully beat up on your offensive side of the ball, and I stress "OFFENSIVE!"
@Blake: Happy trails girl!
Mark Bradley, thanks for the laughs, you should have been a comedic writer.
August 7th, 2012
8:52 pm
The last non-elite QB to lead his team to a Super Bowl appearance was Rex Grossman in 2006. For the Falcons to get there, Ryan will either have to take his game to another level or we'll have to buck a pretty strong trend.
August 7th, 2012
9:43 pm
Well, we all know how deadly accurate Mark Bradley is with his predictions every year, so this is sure to happen.
August 7th, 2012
9:47 pm
The Saints trolls are almost shrill in their posts. You guys sound desperate to drown out anyone who says anything good about the Falcons, as if that will make it true. The truth is, you have no idea how this season will go. Say what you will, but you are scared to death of our team, and you are terrified that your guys will fall apart without Payton.
Yes, the Saints won the Super Bowl in 2009. Good job, guys. We were almost happy for you back then, after everything you had been through.
But your obnoxiousness is wearing pretty thin. It's not just grating on the Falcons fans, but most of the country is getting pretty tired of your schtick. The pay-for-injury-scheme, the arrogance, the whining. All that's left is to come on our boards and rag on the Falcons, because looking in the mirror for too long makes you cringe.
Nobody thought much of Drew Brees before he won a Super Bowl—and the Saints have never won anything before or since. Nobody thought much of Eli Manning until he won TWO Super Bowls, and people still look at him kind of funny. So just because Matt Ryan hasn't won yet, doesn't mean he's not going to. When did Peyton win one, in his 9th season?
I know you guys just ignore all the good things the Falcons do, and you only focus on the negatives, but I'm pretty sure there are a ton of teams in the league that would love to have Matt Ryan. And Drew Brees is just about done. Then what do you have, Saints fans?
Nothing. You'll still be here, trolling our boards, talking about 2009, which is getting further and further away.

@Nite Owl: Granted you have a point, we don't know for sure how this season will go. Bradley, however, does seem to know on this video, and that's what I responded to. As for you, I know that you, as most of your falcan't brethren are doing, are estatic about Payton being suspended and view it as your team's opportunity to make a move. Good luck with that, cause even without our coaches and susupended players, the Saints are still generally picked by the experts to prevail in the division race. And yes, we'll still be here trolling your boards at the end of the season….the real issue will be how many these falcan't fans won't be here, and that's the real shameful truth.
August 7th, 2012
10:11 pm
Bradley picking the old failcants again. Dude if I were you I would stay away from the night clubs in the atl. The lowly failcants will never win a super bowl. The only team playing in the super bowl from the nfc south will be the saints. They will be the first team to host and play in a super bowl in their own city, and you can take that to the bank.
August 7th, 2012

who dat nation in full effect
August 7th, 2012
11:03 pm
Sure, we'll see how it goes. I think the difference between you and me is that I don't take glee in other people's failures. When I was a kid I lived on the Gulf Coast before moving to Atlanta at age 12. I was always a Falcons fan, but I hated to see New Orleans go through what it went through. My old childhood home got demolished during Katrina.
I will also admit that a wounded animal is dangerous, so the Saints could rally together and have a great season. My point is that Brees won't be around much longer, and Matt Ryan is just getting started. The guy you are hating on and calling "Choke" has had a much better start to his career than Brees did.
Brees never even threw for 4,000 yards in his first five years. The Chargers went 5-11 in 2001 and fired their coach. Compare that with Matt Ryan going 11-5 in his rookie year and helping us rebound from the nightmare of 2007. Nobody on Earth though we would make the playoffs after the Petrino/Vick debacle.
Chargers went 8-8 in 2002, Brees' first full season. Then 4-12 in 2003. Then they went 12-4 in 2004 but tanked in the playoffs. Sound familiar? Is that "choking"? Why don't you go back and kill Brees for that?
My point is that you're so busy hating—and it's not in good fun as far as I can see—that you are blind to the context. Any fool can point out the obvious—that we haven't won a playoff game with Ryan and Smitty yet, and yes we only scored two points against the Giants. I think we've built a new culture and we're going to do better. We're not going 4-12, 8-8, whatever.
But for you guys to pretend you're some kind of dynasty because you lucked into landing Drew Brees, that's just overplaying your hand. After suffering so much as a Saints fan, you should feel grateful. You should be more humble. The weird crowing and childish trash-talking doesn't suit a grown man. Leave that crap for the Jets fans or Keith Brooking in a Dallas uniform. But it doesn't belong here.
August 7th, 2012
11:23 pm
I had a long response, but the blog monster ate it, I think. If I'm double-posting, I apologize.
Go back and check out Brees' first five years in the NFL. Not even one 4,000 yard season. One winning season with the Chargers at 12-4, then flamed out in the playoffs. Matt Ryan has a much better career at this point than Drew Brees did. Would you call Brees "Choke"? Would you kill him for not winning a playoff game?
My only problem with you guys is that you act like a dynasty because you were lucky enough to pick up Drew Brees. Without him, nothing happens. You got one Super Bowl ring. Awesome. After suffering so much as a Saints fan, you should be more grateful, more humble. Not this weird and manic crowing and childish trash-talking.
And don't think I'm happy about the Payton suspension. A wounded lion is dangerous. I'd rather beat you guys head-to-head at full strength, because then there are no excuses. I don't revel in other people's misery, like you guys seem to do—and it doesn't seem to be in good fun at all.
I don't need to kick people when they're down. The whole tenor of these Falcons blogs has gotten way too hostile because of you guys, and because some Falcons fans are trying to throw the mud right back at you—dragging them down to your level in other words.
But you're the ones stirring the pot, and it's not "Who Dat?" Nation, it's just a few guys trying to jam up a Falcons blog, a few guys who make their team look bad, after it had generated so much national goodwill after the Super Bowl. Your management shot itself in the foot with the pay-for-injury scheme—there's no one else to blame—and you guys' attitudes just make it worse.
It's supposed to be a heated but respectful rivalry, but you guys show no respect to anyone. I'll ignore it from now on, because there's literally nothing else I can say to try to change it. I know I'm a fool to try and talk sense to you guys, but I did my best.
August 7th, 2012
11:30 pm
There is nothing like resolve and the ability to agree to disagree.Even when the Falcons werenot very competitive we played the Saints tough and visa versa.This division and the divisonal race will be brutal.Which ever team doesnt allow Carolina and Tampa from stealing regular season games.Will win the division.I think the Saints weak link is depth in several positions just can't afford any injuries.And the schedule,some of these .500 teams are good and getting better.You play them at home and they are healthy you could catch an "L".The acquisition of the two coordinators is big.Real X's and O's guys.

My first job out of high school was a 7 Year Sentence on the General Motors assembly line in Linden New Jersey where we made the Cadillac Eldorado & Seville, Oldsmobile Toronado and Buick Riveria
I was a "Motor Head" in high school, back then Z28's, GTO's and Trans Am's ruled the parking lots and growing up in rural Ohio, there was nothing else do do except work on cars and cruise endlessly on the weekends
I'm currently working for the Hendrick Automotive Group as the Marketing Manager for Jeff Gordon Chevrolet in Wilmington North Carolina and prior to that I worked for Sonic Automotive, selling BMW's and Mercedes-Benz
My work has given me tremendous opportunities to travel the country and participate in driving events like the Mercedes-Benz AMG On Track at Homestead-Miami Speedway and numerous Model Launch Events at the BMW Performance Center and Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Toyota trucks have been popular transportation options for years. Recommended and appreciated for their durability, and also offering incredible style, it's not hard to find a tough new Toyota in Orlando that can meet these demands. Just recently, the Toyota plant in San Antonio produced its one millionth truck – a new Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition! This is especially exciting consider the 1794 Edition trim-level was designed to honor the San Antonio truck plant that was founded in 1794. If you're looking for a new Toyota truck that can deliver the kind of driving experience and capabilities you're interested in, then you can't go wrong with a Toyota truck – whether you want the Toyota Tundra or the Toyota Tacoma!
If you love the look of the Toyota Tundra, then you're sure to appreciate the interior features that come in the all-new 2014 model-year. This truck recently got a new look for the new year, and it comes with some stellar standard features that can be found in every trim-level. These features include innovative components such as:
With the 2014 Toyota Tundra in Orlando available for drivers to take home today, there's no reason truck owners can't have access to the style AND performance they're looking for.
The 2014 Toyota Tacoma in Orlando is another great truck that's available for drivers to get behind the wheel of today. When it comes to trucks, the Toyota Tundra is known for towing the Space Shuttle Endeavour. However, the Toyota Tacoma has been ranked the first choice by U.S. News when it comes to compact pickup trucks.
Some standard features are the same in each of the trim-levels. For instance, the Toyota Star Safety System is already installed so drivers and passengers can feel at-ease while on the road since they have access to features such as Brake Assist and Smart Stop Technology. The ability to tow heavy cargo is also a standard component in every trim-level. Depending on which one in particular you want drive home, you could tow up to 6,300 pounds with ease!
When it comes to choosing which trim-level in particular can meet your preferences, there are a few different factors that need to be taken into consideration.
With both standard features and customized options to enjoy and make the most of, there's no reason you can't find a new Toyota truck that perfectly meets your preferences.
Stop by and visit us today at 3575 Vineland Rd to explore the new Toyota trucks that are on lot right now. You can also call our Internet Sales Team at (888) 725-3520 to set up your test-driving appointment today!

The Spooky Science Night fun gets started Friday night at the Pavilion.
Here's a look at what you don't want to miss.

Ever wonder how those circus performers are able to do what they do?
"We'll be teaching the science behind the circus tricks," says .
It's a night of fun for all ages tomorrow night starting at 5:30.
This Kirby Science Discovery Center will have a new look and they need you and your kids to show up in your costume finery.
"Please come in costume, it's more fun for us, it's fun seeing the different characters," says .
Kids will each get their own slime, and better yet - candy.
Mr. Bon-Bon himself will be in attendance.
"You can see we're fun as I stand behind this clown - it's a great experience," says .
Again the fun starts at 5:30 both Friday and Saturday nights.
Tickets are $7.50, $6.50 for Pavilion members and kids 2 and under are free.

New Gold Panda Tunes | Mountain and Financial District – come munch on this.
These tracks have only been up on Soundcloud for an hour, as I'm writing this post.
Mountain – Beautiful soundscaping, lush textures and sparkling highs… sounds like an urban zen garden. The track evolves in complexity as time passes, only proving more and more what badass Gold Panda is… More meditative than anything, I'll be hitting the repeat button on this jam for sure.
Financial District – Some interesting play with samples and percussion, this track is thought provoking and soothing at the same time. Again, these tracks both slowly evolve in such a lovely and logical way, you feel as if you are on a visual journey.
These are both a far cry from his previous track 'You,' and I like where Gold Panda is heading…
Enough of my ridiculousness, check em out yourself-

Watch Michelle Obama Throw World Historical Shade at John Boehner
- OtherNews
- uploaded: Jan 23, 2013
- Hits: 53
Monday's post-inaugural luncheon was a case study in body language--and nearly all of the physical evidence centered on House Speaker John Boehner. One interaction in particular has already become an Internet meme today: Michelle Obama rolling her eyes after listening to a comment from the Ohio congressman.
Tumblr blogger "Mattyrab" was the first to capture the eye roll in action, sharing video of the exchange with the world in a display described as a "historical moment in shade throwing."
The video has already been shared thousands of times across social media sites with viewers speculating on what sparked the First Lady's facial expression.
We don't have audio of their exchange, so for now it's impossible to know exactly what Boehner said to Obama. In fact, it's entirely possible that her eye roll was simply a reaction to an innocuous joke from Boehner.

Depends on what's being said, for instance'
Boehner might have just said to Mrs.POTUS;........
How do you put up with all his Bullshit !

Extreme couponing is starting to become extremely prohibited.
Rite Aid, Target, and Publix have all recently revised their coupon policies limiting the number of store and manufacturers' coupons they'll accept per item or per shopping trip.
Some stores are even changing the barcode system in an effort to prevent shoppers from using coupons meant for other items.
Manufacturers are also cracking down. Proctor & Gamble now limits consumers to four of the same coupon per shopping trip.

Back in 2005 the Mets saw a bright future for their ball club, with the rise of up and coming player Jose Reyes and David Wright.
In both the 2006 and 2007 the left side of the infield for the National League All Star game was all Mets.
The Mets 2007 collapse proved to be a step back for the duo, but Mets fans were still optimistic going into 2008 and both Reyes and Wright were having promising years going into September, and where the Mets collapsed again.
In both 2007 and 2008 September seemed to be a lost month for the Reyes, while Wright was constant with his numbers, if not hitting better in September.
Reyes hit .203 in September in 2007 and .243 in September in 2008- not what you want the future shortstop of your franchise for years to come to hit.
2009 was a tough season for the Reyes who had a major injury for the third time in his career (the others being in 2003 and 2004).
Reyes played in 36 games in his injury plagued 2009 campaign, and even while he was playing he put up sub-par numbers compared to the rest of his career.
A fully healthy Reyes is just what the Mets need, but skipper Jerry Manuel really needs to keep a close eye on his injury status, last year he went on the DL for a calf injury, and by the end of the season he was having surgery for a torn hamstring.
Coming into spring, though early, Reyes seems fully healthy- and fully motivated, to get back to his 2006-2007 form where it really looked like he was having fun playing baseball and a more energetic Reyes is just what this team needs.
Also expect Reyes to have greater power numbers if he hits in the three spot, which will really expand the Mets line up and give Reyes the chance for much more RBI's.
2010 Projected Stats- 143 Games, 101 Runs, 26 Doubles, 14 triples, 14 Home runs, 71 RBI's, 48 Stolen bases, and a .291 batting average.
Coming into this spring, a leaner David Wright is hoping to regain some of his power numbers from earlier years.
Met fans can't really complain about David's season last year, he really tried carrying the team and putting them on his back. Wright was under a microscope of the New York media after many of his teammates fell a victim to injuries. Last year it seemed that Wright was not seeing the ball better then previous seasons, striking out a career high 140 times, and remember he also played the least amount of games in his career last year with Manuel giving him an abundance of days off.
Also, Wright found himself trying to go to the opposite field way more then he should of rather than just trying to make solid contact with the ball.
Adding muscle will help David, but I think what will really make the difference is if he starts making better contact with the ball and dose not try to force every pitch to right field.
Another small reason Wright's power numbers were down, was he had almost a hundred less at bats, and he would have hit around 5-6 more home runs if he had the at bats he had in earlier years.
For 2010 don't expect Wright to regain his powers numbers of old, but do expect in increase in power numbers, now that he will hopefully hit with more men on base, and not be completely under the spotlight of the New York Media.
2010 Projected Stats- 193 Games, 106 Runs, 40 Doubles, 2 triples, 22 Home runs, 98 RBI's, 21 Stolen bases, and a .309 batting average.

Promising, but didn't work for me.
Saved my life! Went from waiting 1 minute per change to instant.
It's great, at first...
Great tool to decrease build time in a two orders of magnitude. However, it often does not properly decide what projects in solution should be build, especially in case of a multi-language solution and unit test projects.
Excellent tool :)
Great tool
It is very useful, but the price after the trial ends is way to steep.
Loved this extension. Bought it. Then after an update it just stopped working. After a lot of back & forth with Red Gate support, I was told to reinstall visual studio. Didn't solve the problem.
This is one of those tools where you don't think it offers much - until you start using it. Then you can't live without it! One useful side-effect of it is that you're virtually always up to date and no longer have to perform Save All every few seconds in case Visual Studio crashes. Even if you have build errors it will at least have already saved your files.
I like it, and it is useful, but it seems to have broken ClickOnce deployments from the Properties page. ClickOnce deployment from the menu still works though...
A very useful tool. The continuous build is my favorite feature. Never having to wait for the error list to update or for the application to compile when I'm ready to run it is incredible. I'll definitely be picking up a license.
Great product. Live reload and continual saving/compilin
This should be named as Kittenware (shows Kittens for a few seconds after trial expires) ;-)
Not bad, except the continuous saving dramatically slows my typing ability, so I had to disable that option. At least the compile upon manual saving is an option. Also, it crashed Visual Studio when I created a RIA service method with an unsupported parameter by mistake (it was a generic list type). The work-around was to use the VS build system to see what was going on.
This is a really great tool for continuous development. It would be perfect if it integrated its compile cycle with a testing framework like NCrunch. Expensive for what it does.
Great tool, greatly improves build speed on large solutions.

I never realized how much freedom and liberty scared the living shit out of people. As a nation we are a bunch of pussy's. Which is fine. If you want a nanny state, go for it. Even the Chinese and Japanese aren't such pussy's.
But please do not whine when they call you or your loved ones up for draft, AND what a mindfuck that's going to be for you and your loved ones Don't complain the next time a big burly man with a TSA badge reaches into your anus (past you) to check for bombs strapped to your tonsils. You know, because the three pussy scanners might have missed them.
I'm kind of looking forward to it TTYTT, its sort of fun watching people eat their just desert.
But that's an argument for maintaining some naval equipment, and a bunch of technical specialists, not a large standing army. The only good argument I have seen for that hasb't been in this thread - for the protection of technical specialists trying to provide humanitarian aid (EG Somalia, and Haiti).
Having said that, there's nothing in that that couldn't be provided by the mitilias of consenting states is there?
I was SHOCKED the last time I was in the USA. I had never seen TSA military-style vehicles patrolling the streets until I was in San Fransisco (of all places). It was really sad for me to watch as no one seemed to notice. The last time I had that sort of feeling was in Vietnam walking past guards out of the airport. No one seemed to notice there either. I guess I never grew up around that sort of thing, and so it always unsettles me.
Hmm... Receptive audience is not needed. I'm just tired. Most of these 23 pages were a waste of time, because Ron Paul didn't have any policies to do with CRA. Secondly you don't trust the man- you like status quo politics which you admitted.
Thirdly for the abortion- I still disagree with federal funding of abortion, and your argument about military I agreed with. But two wrongs don't make a right. So its not like you provided an argument for funding, you simply proposed the argument of de-funding other things to be 'consistent'. And I agree. I can agree with you about Ron Paul on the partial-birth abortion ban. Great, does this mean I won't support him now? No. Because he' still a far better choice than everyone else. Disagreeing with the candidate on any number of issues doesn't mean you can't vote for them. Do you agree with him on anything? Are the issues you agree him with more important than what you disagree with him? Perhaps you'll consider voting for him then. Thats how I look at it. But this whole discussion has been way to deep. 24 pages to resolve 1 issues. 24 pages for another issue is needed? I don't think so. You can read his policies yourself and find out if you agree with him on anything or not.
There is nothing to 'run' away from or to look for receptive audience. I just don't see an end to this discussion and I think I've spent decent amount of time in this thread. I don't expect to 'resolve' the abortion debate, which we have gotten into. Because its a matter of public opinion. So I'm not going to waste my time on another 24 pages of discussion. I rather do something other than coming to this forum, because before taking part in this thread I used to come on this forum after many days or even weeks. Its consuming much my time.
I hope you're not expecting me to prove libertarian views to you because you asking me to essentially 'continue' is exactly that.
I can't prove anything to you. Its a matter of opinion. Does freedom work or not is a matter of opinion. And since you and I both hold our opinions strongly I don't have the capacity to spend endless time on this thread.
Its a fruitless discussion. If you think libertarian views become inconsistent when you get to the root. You should then consider how consistent your own views are. But I'm not going to start the discussion.
I hope to stay away from this forum for a while and do something more productive in real life, is all I'm saying
But who am I kidding. Your writing style has always been of accusations without evidence. You're just judgmental over everything. Yea 'I'm looking for receptive audience', maybe I should have done that on page 1 of this thread. Anyhow I already know the conclusion of our discussion: We disagree totally. Why would I continue then since we disagree philosophically. It actually makes more sense to go and talk to someone who'll listen then to continue a discussion between us anyways as we're philosophically different. You don't even believe there can be a honest politician, why would I want to continue with this? Think whatever you want, but I just want to get away from these discussions I have other things to do in life too.
I'll just end with this: Freedom works in my opinion.
Bye now, I'll just block this site so I'm not tempted to come here for a while

H.R.776 -- Sanctity of Life Act of 2005 (Introduced in House - IH)
To provide that human life shall be deemed to exist from conception.
(a) Finding- The Congress finds that present day scientific evidence indicates a significant likelihood that actual human life exists from conception.
(b) Declaration- Upon the basis of this finding, and in the exercise of the powers of the Congress--
(1) the Congress declares that--
(A) human life shall be deemed to exist from conception, without regard to race, sex, age, health, defect, or condition of dependency; and
(B) the term `person' shall include all human life as defined in subparagraph (A); and
(2) the Congress recognizes that each State has the authority to protect lives of unborn children residing in the jurisdiction of that State.
Seems to me he's tried to do exactly that IE " enforce his understanding of when 'life' begins", four times now:
...To provide that human life shall be deemed to exist from conception.

Like I said earlier in this thread; Apparently individual responsibility is something that we still cant fathom.
10-07-11, 10:14 PM #468My bill removes the jurisdiction of the federal courts from the issue of abortion. If a state law says "no abortion," it doesn't go to the Supreme Court to be ruled out of order.Section 2 clause 2: the Congress recognizes that each State has the authority to protect lives of unborn children residing in the jurisdiction of that State"
And if it makes you feel any better, here are Pro-lifer's bashing Paul for being Pro-Choice- also talks about the bill you mentioned.
Anyways please discuss with others I'm done. This will be my last post I promise, so no reason continuing with me.

2.(a) Finding- The Congress finds that present day scientific evidence indicates a significant likelihood that actual human life exists from conception.
It explicitly forces the states to enforce his personal view of life at conception.
Any of this other crap your dressing it up with is nothing more than obfuscatory drivel.
You said he wouldn't force the states into taking his position, and he has, four times, tried to do precisely that.
That view is pointless from the enforcement point of view, technically you are correct, but practically that definition is meaningless, and only a means to return the abortion issue to states without federal say. I guess you want him to be correct on technicalities rather than find some solution to the problem itself. The definition of 'life' isn't what people are worried about- they are worried about the practical practice of abortion.
I guess its better that politicians keep debating abortion rather than get anything meaningful done. If not this bill is a smart shortcut to respect both sides of the discussion in the practice of abortion, which is really what it is all about.
But yes you are technically correct. But I don't care about technicalities. Otherwise nothing could ever get accomplished. If Roe v Wade never happened, this bill wouldn't exist (so he wouldn't do such a thing). Its a circumventing method. But I don't think that matters to you.
What matters is to be technically correct. Yes he tried to force his definition of life on the people. I concede. Now it should be fine to say bye.
So now:

What makes it worse is he's over riding the judicial process to do it, which, according to you, is the be all and end all. The supreme Court has given him its answer on the matter, and, according to you, he's trying to circumvent it, and he's trying to circumvent it becaus ehe doesn't like it, because he thinks that people should be forced to recognize that life begins at conception.
He feels so strongly that life begins at conception that he has tried to force feed this to the people four times.
Ron Paul Plans to Release $1 Trillion Spending-Cut Plan
Rep. Ron Paul wants to cut federal spending by $1 trillion, and he will propose a line-by-line way to do it, he said at a National Press Club luncheon Wednesday. He indicated that the plan, which he estimates will be available in a couple weeks, will detail every line item he'd like to cut if he becomes president.
"You could slash the budget probably by 70 percent if you said: Anything that is not authorized directly by the Constitution no longer can be paid for," he said. "We have just gone so far from what was originally intended by the founders of this country."
The comments came in response to a question on why Paul hasn't released specifics on what he wants to cut, though Paul argued he has been pretty specific already. "If I want to get rid of the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Agriculture, and cut the military budget in half," he explained, "that's a pretty good start, and that's pretty specific."
A certain problem with the proposalOriginally Posted by The Esotericist
Okay, look: If a Democrat came out with a plan to slash the defense budget by half, the Republicans would crush the suggestion as insane and win popular support. I mean, we're still building Cold War-era submarines. And a fighter jet that can't fly in the rain.
Very simply: How can Ron Paul get away with that without crushing the GOP for a decade on the grounds of their hypocrisy? Or better yet, how can he pull it off at all?
It's a lovely suggestion, but please think about what it involves.
Cutting and running. Not that this is really that big a deal insofar as I believe we are damaging our reputation more by staying in, but come on. It's a powerful and sustaining attack where it hurtspridethat contributes greatly to our inability to extricate ourselves from failed and failing causes. All of a sudden the GOP is going to be on board with cutting and running, though?
Job loss. One thing about the military-industrial complex and politicians is that the defense budget is spread out like nothing else. I've heard it asserted, and have no doubtthough, in truth, I've never checked the numbersthat there isn't a House district in the nation that doesn't get some defense dollars beyond recruiting. (House Speaker Gingrich's landlocked district received Coast Guard dollars. Nobody arguing with the right wing's idea of Beelzebub, Michael Moore, ever found a reason. Hell, I would have thought someone could have said, "Recruiting station." Even more, there's a Navy station in Cobb County.) Don't get me wrong; I can envision a president who is able to say, "Cut the defense budget in half," and reasonably expect it to happen. In a hundred years. With a revolutionary socialist in the executive.
I mean, great. Let's do it. Cut defense in half.
Consider, please, two headlines from yesterday:
"Defense spending means 56,000 Indiana jobs"
"Romney Pledges Defense Boost; Analyst Predicts $1 Trillion in DoD Cuts"
The actual number in that second is from the Center for a New American Security, perhaps the dumbest name I've heard since Project for a New American Century, and suggests between $550b and $1t in defense cuts over the next ten years.
This is going to be a fucking political war.
I'm down with cutting the budget in half. But that one trillion is going to be cut from at least seven trillion dollars, if we project the 2010 budget as a constant. That certainly makes for a rough estimate, but my purpose is to suggest that cutting the defense budget in half, while a good idea, falls somewhere on the spectrum between individual political suicide and the destruction of an entire political party.
It ain't gonna happen.
Sticking the proposed cabinet department eliminations back into the equation, what, really, would we get from taking Ron Paul's defense budget bait?
(Absolutely nothin'. Say it again.)
Associated Press. "Defense spending means 56,000 Indiana jobs". WNDU. October 7, 2011. WNDU.com. October 8, 2011. http://www.wndu.com/indiana/headline...131354013.html
Clark, Colin. "Romney Pledges Defense Boost; Analyst Predicts $1 Trillion in DoD Cuts". AOL Defense. October 7, 2011. Defense.AOL.com. October 8, 2011. http://defense.aol.com/2011/10/07/ro...rillion-in-do/
Wow, so our country really is going to spend itself into bankruptcy, because neither party is willing to cut defense spending enough.
'It ain't gonna happen'
Considering Ron Paul doesn't give a shit about the party and the President as Commander in Chief can unilaterally bring the troops from all parts of the world. I think it is quite plausible. One can't say that for the other Republicans though. And if one isn't even willing to give it a shot, i.e then no one can do it so lose your hope, whats left of optimism?
The tough choices have to be made, whether it is political suicide or not. If there is anyone who can remotely be trusted to deliver this 'suicide' I think thats Ron, but this is just my opinion. And if quad is right, that Ron doesn't really want to be President that this is a 'vanity run', then that makes it even more plausible that he'd do it because he doesn't care about the politics. He's already of age, decided not to run again for Congress, this would probably be his last venture in politics and probably 1 term only, as I expect the economy to crash during the time of the next President (regardless of who it is). Chances are high he'd do it. But thats the thing, would someone give it a shot and trust him to do it. I do, others might not.
I sincerely hope that if it isn't Ron Paul, then it is Obama (or some other Democrat if he's challenged). I would like all those current economic experts like Joe, and every stimulus loving American see that moment when they spend like crazy but nothing will help save the economy, hopefully proving that government spending sprees don't actually help in reality, they only help temporarily or in numbers only- Who better to spend than a Democrat who throw money at all economic and social problems.
I really have no hope for this country in truth. We're screwed, but if someone could even change 1 major thing in the right direction, I'd vote for him. I voted Obama so he 'might' end the wars (I really never trusted him though), I knew McCain wouldn't, but clearly thats not gonna happen. Ron Paul on the other hand (if elected) will most likely would do it- he's the only one I trust to do it. If he can't do it, I don't think anyone can. Most politicians are too entrenched in politics.

Ron Paul wins Values Voter poll ahead of Herman Cain
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas turned out his well-organized crop of supporters Saturday and won a presidential preference straw poll with 37% of the vote.
Coming in second place in the poll of social conservatives at the annual Values Voter Summit was retired pizza chain executive Herman Cain, who pulled in 23% of the vote.
Cain, who won a surprise victory in a straw poll last month in Florida, delivered a rousing speech Friday afternoon in which he joked about the pressure that comes with breaking into the top tier of candidates in the GOP primary race. Cains showing was considerably better than the two presumed frontrunners. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry didnt do so well. Perry won 8%, and Romney took just 4%.
The poll confirmed that with just a few months before the first nominating contests, the Republican presidential field is still unsettled.
For Perry, the result had to be a disappointment, as hell need the support of social conservatives to keep him competitive with Romney.
Theyre really analyzing the candidates, where they stand on the issues, said Tony Perkins, president of the Washington-based Family Research Council, the group that sponsored the three-day event. The field is still fluid .I think people are still in the process of deciding where they want to go.
Pauls victory was not exactly a surprise. The Libertarian congressman has a loyal following and is known for his ability to organize a strong showing at such events.
The summit, which began Friday morning and featured speeches by all the major Republican presidential candidates except Jon Huntsman Jr., drew 3,406 registered attendees, including about 600 who arrived Saturday morning as Paul was scheduled to speak.
There were a number of people that left after Ron Paul spoke, Perkins said at a news conference after the results were announced, suggesting that Pauls win reflects the devotion of his diehard supporters, not a broader preference held by most social conservatives.
Still, chants of Ron Paul, Ron Paul filled the ballroom of the Omni Shoreham Hotel when the results were announced. Paul won 732 votes of 1,983 cast.
Ron Paul - 37%
Herman Cain - 23%
Rick Santorum - 16%
Rick Perrry - 8%
Michele Bachmann - 8%
Mitt Romney - 4%
Newt Gingrich - 3%
Jon Huntsman - 0% Undecided - 1%
Interesting times.
Mumery, and whoever wrote this should be shot, or arrested for 'Crimes against Statistics'. No wonder statisticians have such a bad name, look at the absurdities people produce in its name:
Now... Keeping that in mind, and keeping in mind the fact that >80% of Ron Paul supporters are conservative republicans who are card carrying members of the Tea Party - is it really that much of a surprise that Ron Paul would poll so highly?
Let me put it to you another way - If I get together a whole bunch of christian conservative republicans, who are at the event because they want to know what the various candidates are going to do to protect their values, and then show them a candidate who so far has a particularly high following among conservative republicans, who is promoting christian family values (in one form or another) as part of his platform...
Is it really surprising that he's going to poll highly? No, in fact it's highly predictable. Especially when the source article has things like this: "Pauls victory was not exactly a surprise. The Libertarian congressman has a loyal following and is known for his ability to organize a strong showing at such events"; and this: "There were a number of people that left after Ron Paul spoke, Perkins said at a news conference after the results were announced, suggesting that Pauls win reflects the devotion of his diehard supporters, not a broader preference held by most social conservatives"; to say.
Is it interesting? No. It's entirely predictable.
Is it neccessarily indicative? No. It is not. There is nothing reasonable that can neccessarily be infered from this about the race for the republican candidacy, let alone the presidency. The most that can be said of this is that Ron Paul appears to have a strong following among christian conservative republican members of the tea party, whom would have him meddle with state education policies. Even then, that may not be a reliable indicator, because even Tony Perkins, who is the President of the FRC is suggesting, although not in so many words, that the results were rigged (rigged by Ron Paul), resulting in a skew in his favour in this sample that is not neccessarily representative of the population.

Other uses for the little green bastard:
Patchwerk Legendary Mode: (Note: the tank has to kite Patchwerk in a figure eight through frogger to initiate this) If you place the imp in front of frogger, he can block for the tank and your spells should heal him fast enough for him to survive. (Make sure that your group can get the patchwerk speed kill if you want to down him).
In Mimiron's room: The imp's avoidance lets him survive through bombs so it is good to have for when the /h/-tard decides to MD the bombs to the party. It is also a useful tool for killing said /h/-tard using a more sacrificial/controlled method.
If you want to improve turnover and were told that you wouldnt get heals if you ninja-pulled you can have the imp do your dirty work and not suffer the 1-hit as the imp will be somewhere far away from you yet still in the party (it takes a bit ov management but it's doable).
The 100% crit proc also works in pvp and is a great addition when dueling in raid gear. While you may not beat an affliction lock in a pvp match as destro without a succubus, you can gain the cutting edge against the elusive resto druid without having to fear and mana drain him all across the room just to watch him innervate.
Also because of this proc, the imp is one of the few keys to soloing heroic instance mobs when you just so happen to pull agro off the tank in 2 or 3 hits.
His ranged ability is also important when that oh so arrogant boom-chicken challenges you to a duel on top of the buildings in Wintergrasp and forgets that your demonic summoning circle counters his tidal wave. (also works when that idiot DK decides to death grip you onto another building after said facero-duel and you teleport to a different building and pick him off).
Cant think of any other ways I abuse my imp.

Don't-Miss iOS Stories
Solving the mystery of blank e-mails in an iOS 4 inbox
Lex Friedman wasn't worried about an issue with black email messages affecting some iOS 4 users, until it affected his mom. Now, he's figured out a potential fix.
Bugs & Fixes: Seven iOS 4 troubleshooting tips

Dropbox, the free file-syncing service, is a great way to make sure that the copies of your to-do list and resume are the same on all your Macs. But that's just the beginning of what Dropbox can do. Dan Miller explains.

Iranna's Powerful Artwork
Indian and South East Asian Art sales are dominating the art world this week, and we have one of the most powerful works on artnet Auctions.
Give Me Freedom (2007), by internationally acclaimed Contemporary Indian artist G.R. Iranna, is a powerful example of the artist's notions of birth, death, life, and transcendence. Victory and the victimization of mankind are central themes in Iranna's visual vocabulary. This is poignantly and powerfully illustrated in Give Me Freedom by the blind-folded young girl playing piano while a massive tiger sleeps at her feet, and by the Spanish bull-fighter defeating a charging bull.

This untitled large-scale two panel painting is a visual and conceptual tour-de-force by famed Indian Contemporary artist Chittrovanu Mazumdar. The simple palette of red, white, and black paint—accompanied by rows of sexually explicit text at various sizes—is used here to create a visual and text-based narrative that is intense, subversive, and incredibly powerful.

Santosha on the Ridge B & B, che domina la valle del fiume Delaware, è un tesoro nascosto in mezzo alla natura in tutta la sua gloria. Con soli quattro camere disponibili per alloggi, esclusività e privacy sono gli elementi chiave della vostra vacanza rilassante. Includere una lezione di yoga al mattino prima di una colazione biologica per iniziare la giornata, poi esplorare le bellezze della regione o semplicemente rilassarsi sul ponte anteriore e leggere un libro. Tuttavia si definisce il vero, vi farà sentire i benvenuti.

Santosha inn, located on the foothills of the Poconos is emblematic of its Sanskrit name, "contentment". You can enjoy the hot tub, count the stars on the hammock, or listen to the crickets while sitting on the deck. Leslie's leaving ritual typifies the Santosha experience. One has to experience to believe it.

Words cannot describe how peaceful our stay at Santosha was. Leslie is an absolutely phenomenal host! The rooms are all decorated to promote peace and serenity. My girlfriend and I stayed in the Riverview room, which was wonderful. It is not the largest room available, but it is very comfortable. The bed was great, as well! DO NOT miss the breakfast! My girlfriend is not a morning person, but she made sure she was up to enjoy Leslie's home cooked breakfast. Throughout our stay, we had: parfait, homemade croissants, a swiss pancake, blueberry tarts, mango scones. It was all delicious! I would come back here for the breakfast alone! The view from the back deck is also beautiful. The deck is arranged so that there are 3 levels, which offers a bit of privacy. The view is incredibly serene. Leslie knows the area very well! She was always offering advice to visitors on which trails to hike, where to park, where to eat, etc. Before we left, she gave us perfect directions to an organic food stand. We LOVED our stay here, and will most definitely be returning!

My husband and I have just returned from the most amazing peaceful and restorative stay at Santosha on the Ridge. It was a brief week-end get-away that felt like a full-blown vacation - all thanks to the tranquil warm and cozy atmosphere at Santosha. My first impression was that the pictures didn't do this place justice - it is even more beautiful and inviting in person! It is so thoughtfully decorated and very well-maintained! True to its name, Santosha is truly a place of satisfaction and contentment. Every element of the home and its surroundings radiates peace and harmony. Every Santosha tradition and care from the hosts delights and inspires. We very much enjoyed our restful stay, delicious healthy breakfasts and rejuvenating atmosphere of Santosha. We will definitely recommend it to friends and hope to be back again soon!

We had 4 couples book all 4 rooms for a weekend, but unfortunately 1 couple had to drop out at the last minute. Regardless, we had a fantastic weekend getaway, allowing us all to get some great skiing in and to really recharge our batteries. Leslie is the perfect host and a great cook too! He always felt welcomed and respected, and couldn't think of staying anywhere else when we are up in the Poconos. We will continue to recommend Santosha to our friends and family, and we look forward to our next visit. --Nick and Amy

We had a wedding in shawnee and were looking for someplace to stay rather than an impersonal hotel. Santosha on the Ridge was a real find! The setting was lovely, the rooms each had their own personality and Leslie and Amy were personable and welcoming. We felt like we had known them forever . The breakfasts were excellent and made from fresh ingredients; many from the garden on site. The living room had a wonderful fireplace and excellent chairs to curl up on and enjoy a book while the fire burned. The location was easy for access to the Water Gap area, trails, waterfalls and more. We will definitely return and stay a bit longer the next time.

I have been to five star hotels all over the world, even the mandarin chain, but none of them has better service, accommodations or food better than this precious gem. Every corner of the home is charming. When I arrived I was tired and cranky, but was greeted by warm smiles from Amy, then Barbara, then Leslie then Gene. You cant help but feel happiness and contentment here. The bed was devine, the bedroom cheery, immaculate, serene and the smell of breakfast wafting up the stairs put me in a true quandary of bed v. breakfast...breakfast won, and won and won. The hosts were helpful and really balance being there with not being there, really the perfect balance. There are many corners to sit and chilax in so each set of guests need not tumble over each other. The grounds and gardens are inviting. I worked on the veranda overlooking the trees and the turning foliage. I cannot believe such serenity is so close to New York, I'm already plotting my return. Enjoy. L

This is my wife and my's third visit to this wonderful B and B. We crave it so we have to go at least once a year. This was our first year in the sunrise room, a truly elegant and tranquil place to rest and relax. The breakfasts were top notch as usual and Leslie and Amy are a joy to spend a weekend with. Already looking forward to next year's visit! :)

My husband and I just recently returned from a five-day stay at Santosha on the Ridge. We were very pleasantly surprised by the extraordinary experience we had at this charming bed and breakfast. Breathtaking views from the back deck, delicious breakfast offerings and an unbelievably comfortable room, the Naturescape, provided us with wonderful memories of this getaway. Leslie's decorating taste is incredible and she and Amy are not only unbelievable cooks, but they have truly thought of everything that visitors could wish for! We have already booked several nights in the fall! Thank you for a wonderful experience! Krys H.

My husband and I heard about Santosha from my son and dtr-in-law who raved about everything but were especially impressed that they could provide Vegan meals. Delicious as it was, the food was secondary to the hospitality, kindness, and beauty that surrounded us at Santosha. We loved it so much we already booked next year - including a room for the kids!

My husband and I wanted to get away for the weekend to celebrate and anniversary. We had a great and relaxing time. We had never been to a B&B before so we thought to give it a try. Totally blow away by the great experience. We will definitely be going back. The food was fantastic and we loved even better because it was organic.

COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) -- Concerns that air guns are being mistaken for high-velocity firearms are prompting Columbus officials to consider changes in the city's weapons laws.
The Republic reports that low-velocity weapons have been brandished in more than 20 incidents this year. Mayor Kristen Brown says most have involved preteens or young teenage boys.
Council members say the air guns often resemble high-powered weapons. They say they don't want someone injured or killed because police aren't sure whether they have a real weapon.
City Attorney Jeff Logston says one possibility is to declare BB guns and air guns weapons and ban the discharge of all weapons within city limits.
Police Chief Jason Maddix says he wants to see how effective such restrictions have been in other communities before moving forward.

You've just invaded earth, and now it's your job to bring back some souvenirs! Fly your space ship through 20 levels, grabbing critters, stealing stars, and avoiding obstacles, like spikes, mines, and electric fields, to get your booty to the transport area.

Interesting and challenging.
Rated 4 / 5 stars May 10, 2012
I highly enjoyed the game, though it gets a bit tedious after a bit. I think it's a decently challenging little puzzler. I don't know how anyone could play this with a mouse, but the arrow controls were fine in their simplicity. The music was fine, though a little annoying after a while. And I especially enjoyed how dying in a level didn't cause the level to restart. All in all, a fairly nice game. Good work.
thanks :)
