Pro-life is a term representing a variety of perspectives and activist movements in bioethics. It can be used to indicate opposition to practices such as euthanasia, human cloning, research involving human embryonic stem cells, and the death penalty, but most commonly (especially in the media and popular discourse) to abortion, and support for fetal rights.
term describes the political, religious, and ethical view which
maintains that fetuses and embryos are human beings, and therefore have a
right to live.
On the issue of abortion, attempts by pro-life campaigners to pass laws against abortion are opposed by pro-choice campaigners who argue that the central issue is a completely different set of rights.
The pro-choice view does not consider a fetus to have full legal rights, so the issue is instead considered to be the human rights of the pregnant woman to choose to terminate her pregnancy or carry it to term. The pro-choice view believes that a woman should have complete control over her fertility and pregnancy, not the government, and that this entails the guarantee of reproductive rights.
Overview on pro-life views
Pro-life individuals generally believe that human life should be valued either from fertilization or implantation until natural death. The contemporary pro-life movement is typically, but not exclusively, associated with Christian morality (especially in the United States), and has influenced certain strains of bioethical utilitarianism.[1]
From that viewpoint, any action which destroys an embryo or fetus kills a human being. Any deliberate destruction of human life is considered ethically or morally wrong and is not considered to be mitigated by any alleged benefits to others, as such benefits come at the expense of the life they consider as a person. In some cases, this belief extends to opposing abortion of fetuses that would almost certainly be unviable, such as anencephalitic fetuses.
and assisted suicide are also opposed by some pro-life people based on a
belief that all human life is sacred and must be protected even against
the wishes of people who want to end their own lives.
Pro-lifers oppose certain forms of birth control, particularly hormonal contraception such as ECP's, which are alleged to prevent the implantation of an embryo. Because pro-life advocates largely believe that personhood begins at conception, they refer to these forms of birth control with the technically incorrect term "abortifacients".[2] The Catholic Church recognizes this view,[3] but the possibility that hormonal contraception has post-fertilization effects is currently disputed within the scientific community. (See Also: Emergency contraception and implantation)
Attachment to a pro-life position is very often but not exclusively connected to religious beliefs about the sanctity of life (see also Culture of Life). Exclusively secular-humanist positions against abortion tend to be a minority viewpoint among pro-life advocates.[4]
Diversity of pro-life views
Opposition to abortion by some Christians is based on a number of sources. The Didache, a short early Christian treatise, specifically prohibits abortion. The Bible, unlike the Didache, makes no specific mention of abortion, although it does mention unborn life several times.
For example, Luke 1:44 cites Elizabeth exclaiming to the Virgin Mary, "Behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb (John the Baptist) leaped for joy". Jeremiah 1:4-5, retelling God's appointing of Jeremiah to be a prophet, says: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you".
passages have been interpreted to reveal the personhood of an
embryo/fetus.[18] While others interpret these verses to be centrally
focus instead on the special significance of Jeremiah as a prophet and
maintain that they have no relevance to claims that the fetus is a
person. [2]
The Catholic Church teaches that "abortion is a grave sin against the natural law."[19] It believes that human life is sacred, and begins at conception. Under this view, abortion is equivalent to murder, and there are no permissible exceptions.
When the life of the woman is in jeopardy, it is permissible to obtain life-saving treatment which may have the secondary effect of killing the fetus, but no direct action may be taken against the fetus/embryo itself, and all life-sustaining options must be exhausted. (An example is chemotherapy treatment for a pregnant woman with uterine cancer.)
It also ascribes to a Consistent Life Ethic: euthanasia, the death penalty, unjust war, embryo research, in vitro fertilization (which involves discarded embryos), artificial contraception (of which some methods may prevent implantation of a zygote in the uterine lining), and abortion are all condemned as violence.
law provides that anyone who directly participates in an abortion is
automatically excommunicated (provided they are aware of this penalty at
the time of the act).[20] A valid sacramental confession remits this
penalty. In accord with its opposition to abortion, the Catholic Church
provides support to pregnant women in "crisis pregnancies," as well as
to low income families.
Other Christian denominations hold varying positions on abortion. Conservative, evangelical, or fundamentalist Christian groups are more likely to oppose abortion, whereas liberal or mainstream Protestant churches are more likely to allow for it. "Mainstream" Protestant denominations (e.g. the Episcopalian church, Presbyterian church, Methodist church, United Church of Christ, Unitarian Universalist church, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America), as well as Jewish denominations and the group Catholics for a Free Choice have formed the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.[21]
The Christian Alliance for Progress, most notably, has come out in opposition of abortion, but has advocated a program of assistance and prevention as opposed to the criminalization of abortion, opposes the death penalty, but maintains a neutral stance on euthanasia.
Types of activism in fighting for unborn children and against abortion
Pro-life activism involves a variety of activities, from promoting the pro-life position to the public in general, lobbying public officials, or reaching individuals – for example by attempting to dissuade individual women to forgo abortions. Some efforts involve distributing literature, providing counseling services, conducting public demonstrations or protests, and committing acts of civil disobedience.
Free ultrasound: One type of pro-life activism is giving free ultrasound scans to pregnant women who are considering an abortion. These usually take place at a crisis pregnancy center. The theory behind this practice is the belief that the pregnant woman will decide to carry to term once she views images of the fetus. In the US, federal funding is provided for crisis pregnancy centers, many of which provide free ultrasounds.[36][37]
1. The life chain:
The "Life Chain" is a public demonstration technique that involves simply standing in a row on sidewalks holding signs with pro-life messages. Historically, the most often used message has been "Abortion Kills Children" but other signs have been produced for use by Life Chainers that include, "Abortion stops a beating heart," "Abortion Hurts Women," "I'm a child, not a choice," "God Heal Our Land," "God Bless America," "Jesus Forgives and Heals," "Jesus Loves the Little Children" and "Jesus Loves You." Life Chainers, as an official policy, do not yell or chant slogans and do not block pedestrians or roadways. This type of demonstration is extremely common, but some pro-life demonstrators question the effectiveness of this tactic. Many Right to Life chapters hold Life Chain events yearly.
2. The rescue:
A "rescue operation" involves pro-life activists standing in front of an abortion clinic in order to prevent anyone from entering. The stated goal of this practice is to force the clinic to shut down for the day. Often, the protesters are removed by law enforcement. Some clinics were protested so heavily in this fashion that they closed down permanently. "The rescue" was first attempted by Operation Rescue. Ever since former president Bill Clinton signed the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act into law, the rescue has rarely been attempted. Some consider it "peaceful civil disobedience" but others fear that the openly confrontational nature of rescue operations may inflame an already touchy situation to violence.
3. The die-in:
The die-in is a variation of a protest by the same name which was first done to protest the Vietnam War. In the pro-life die-in, protesters fall to the ground in the fetal position. Often this is used to gain attention, in order for groups to distribute literature, and engage in conversation with the onlookers. Those on the ground do not move, hand out literature, or talk. Very few groups use this tactic, however Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust frequently use this method.
4. The truth display:
In a "truth display", protesters go to an area intending to display pictures of aborted fetuses. Though this sparks anger and controversy, some pro-life groups believe this is the most effective way of explaining their position. The members of one group based out of Riverside, California, known as Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, have been jailed numerous times for these types of displays which they set up both legally and illegally on university campuses. Pro-Life Action League's Face the Truth displays are another example of a "truth display."
point of disagreement among pro-lifers is whether displaying shock
pictures is really necessary.[38] Though many believe in the
truthfulness of "truth displays", many feel that it is sufficient to
display informative images of perfectly healthy fetuses in order to
demonstrate their humanity, not their suffering. Proponents of these
"shock tactics" argue that, unless people realize the precise nature of
abortion methods/procedures and their tangible results, the pro-life
position can never succeed.
5. Sidewalk counseling:
"Sidewalk counseling" is a form of pro-life activism which is conducted outside of abortion clinics. Activists seek to communicate with those entering the building, or with passersby in general, in an effort to persuade them not to have an abortion or to reconsider their position on the morality of abortion. [39] They do so by trying to engage in conversation, displaying signs, distributing literature, or giving directions to a nearby crisis pregnancy center. [39]
6. The "Chicago Method"
The "Chicago Method" is an approach to sidewalk counseling that involves giving those about to enter an abortion facility copies of lawsuits filed against the facility or its physicians. The name comes from the fact that it was first used by Pro-Life Action League in Chicago.[40] The intent of the Chicago Method is to turn the woman away from a facility that the protesters deem "unsafe," thus giving her time to reconsider her choice to abort.[41]
7. Prayer
In Christianity prayer is one form of seeking God's intervention
8. Prayer and Fasting
Prayer and fasting work hand in hand as fasting reinforces the petitions or matters being submitted to God.
9. Christian evangelism and education
Christian evangelism and education helps to inform people about abortion, its potential physical risks, post-traumatic stress risks, and other spiritual and social risks.

The 1998 Steven Spielberg movie Saving Private Ryan was loosely based on the real life story of Fritz Niland, a paratrooper who jumped into Normandy and lost his brothers in combat.
Frederick "Fritz" Niland was born on April 23, 1920 in Tonawanda, NY, the youngest son of Mike and Augusta Niland. When WWII broke out, Fritz and his three older brothers Edward, Preston and Robert joined the Army and were sent to combat outfits.
Edward flew in the China-Burma-India Theater as a radio operator on a B-25 Mitchell with the 12th Bomb Group, Preston joined the 4th Infantry Division and Robert served with the 82nd Airborne Division's 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Fritz also volunteered for the paratroopers and was assigned to H Company, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.
On May 20, 1944 Edward's bomber was shot down and he was presumed dead. His mother received the news on June 8.
On June 6, 1944 the three other Niland boys took part in the Invasion of Normandy. Fritz Niland parachuted in with his unit but was misdropped (typical for many 101st Airborne Division paratroopers on D-Day) causing him to be initially reported as Missing in Action. It took him about a week to return to his outfit.
Robert also parachuted in during the early morning hours of D-Day, but was killed later that day, after volunteering to stay behind and cover his unit's withdrawal from the town of Neuville-au-Plain.
In mid-June, after hearing of his brother's death, Fritz Niland contacted Father Francis L. Sampson, the chaplain of the 501st PIR, to visit Robert's grave near Saint Mere Eglise. Upon arriving at the cemetery, the two not only found the grave of Robert but also Preston, who had been killed on June 7, near Utah Beach.
The encounter was recorded poignantly but with multiple factual errors by Father Sampson in his 1958 book Look Out Below! (CUA Press, Washington, DC):
When the regiment was bivouacked near Utah Beach waiting for the boats to take us back to England, a young soldier by the name of Fritz Nyland came to see me. He was very troubled in mind. The company commander of his brother who was with the 508th Regiment, told Fritz that his brother had been killed and was buried in the Sainte Mere Eglise cemetery. We jumped in my jeep and drove the twenty miles back to that town. In checking the cemetery roster I couldn't find the boy's name.
"There's no William Nyland listed here, Fritz," I said encouragingly, "though there is a Roland Nyland listed."
"Father…That's my brother too. He was a Lieutenant in the Ninetieth Division."
The unhappy boy tried to choke back the tears. After saying a few prayers at the grave, we went to another cemetery just a few blocks away, where we found the grave we were looking for originally. A third brother had just been killed in the Pacific.
As we were driving back to the bivouac area, Fritz kept saying over and over again, more to himself than to me, "What will poor Butch do now? What will poor Butch do now?"
"Who is Butch, son?" I asked.
"Butch? Oh she's my mother." I looked at him and wondered if he was suffering from combat exhaustion and the terrible shock of this afternoon's discover. He must have read my thoughts, for he explained. "We four boys always called mom 'Butch' these last few years. That's because, when we wanted to listen to swing orchestras and jive bands on the radio, mom would always turn on 'Gangbusters' or some other program about gangsters….She liked those. Now I'm the only son left." Mrs. Nyland had received three tragic wires within a week. However, we managed to get Fritz sent back to the states, so Butch still has one son to comfort her.
Author and historian Mark Bando covered Fritz Niland's story in his masterful book 101st Airborne: The Screaming Eagles at Normandy noting the errors in Father Sampson's powerful account. The most obvious mistakes being the misspelling of the Niland family name, as well as the errors in the names of Fritz's brothers and the Army units they served with. Mark Bando also notes that the Niland brothers called their mom "Stumpy" not "Butch" although she did enjoy gangster programs on the radio.
Beginning on June 20, 1944, Augusta Niland received news about her sons in a series of telegrams. At first, all three boys were reported missing in action, but soon word came that Fritz was alive but both Preston and Robert had been killed.
Fritz continued to fight in Normandy until the 101st Airborne Division returned to England in mid-July 1944.
Near the end of summer, Father Sampson paid Fritz Niland a visit telling him that orders had come down transferring him back to the United States. Although Fritz protested to stay with his unit and return to combat, he was soon on his way back to America where he served as a Military Policeman at the Grand Central Railroad in New York until 1945.
Edward Niland also returned home from WWII but in poor physical condition. He had managed to parachute out from his plane and wandered the jungles of Burma before being captured by the Japanese. He survived a hellish year in a Japanese Prisoner-of-War camp were upon liberation he weighed only 80 lbs. (his original weight was 170 lbs.). He continued to live in Tonawanda until his death in 1984.
After WWII Fritz Niland earned his dental degree from Georgetown University, he opened up his own dental practice in Niagara Falls, NY. He died in San Francisco, CA in 1983.
Very interesting. Good to hear about the real inspiration for "Saving Private Ryan." Thanks for a great story!

Luke 24:36-41 (MSG)
"While they were saying all this, Jesus appeared to them and said, "Peace be with you." They thought they were seeing a ghost and were scared half to death. He continued with them, "Don't be upset, and don't let all these doubting questions take over. Look at my hands; look at my feet—it's really me. Touch me. Look me over from head to toe. A ghost doesn't have muscle and bone like this." As he said this, he showed them his hands and feet. They still couldn't believe what they were seeing. It was too much; it seemed too good to be true."
The disciples doubted Jesus had been raised from the dead even though they were seeing Him with their own eyes. It all seemed so surreal and ghostly to them.
The fact of the matter was, He was dead and now He was alive! How could this be? It was beyond amazement, too good to be true.
It will blow your mind and go beyond natural ability or comprehension. It is His way of revealing Himself.
What has He shown you that may appear too good to be true? That thing that would make you fall to your knees in amazement when it happens? Maybe it's a drug addicted teenager coming back to Him, your relative in the last stages of cancer getting healed or perhaps having a baby after being declared barren?
"Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]."
Eph 3:20 (AMP)

I ❤ fresh mushroomsIt's been really wonderful to expand our mushroom consumption over the last couple years. Just today I fixed a big stir fry made up of a lot of shiitakes. They're nutritious and delicious! Just about every mushroom is medicinal and having my own organic source is a real delight.
Shiitakes for dinner, fresh from the yard.
Alon showing off the shiitake harvest of the day, one by one.
The logs – 2 years inMushroom logs are supposed to last between 2 and 5 years (some people say one year per inch o diameter on the log). It's been two years since I innoculated my first logs and the logs have definitely changed!
As you can see below, the bark is coming off and some of the logs are fairly degraded. Somewhat to be expected…these are my shiitake logs and most of the logs you see here are still producing (just finished a flush).
After reviewing my logs, I found that 13 of the original shiitake logs were still producing with another 4 that might be producing still. That is about a 50% loss after 2 years. For the oysters, I might have a couple producing logs, but the situation is much worse. Seems that nearly all of them were lost last summer during the hot, dry spell (while I was traveling).
In the hot, dry South, the mushroom logs need attention to keep from drying out. I keep a shade cloth over them and have them positioned in a fairly shady spot in the yard. If they get too dry, the mycellium inside will die and then no further fruiting will happen! That happened to several of my logs, and they were subsequently taken over by other mushrooms (not edible, unfortunately). To keep them from drying out, I soak them in trash cans filled with water a few times a year. With 12-24 hours per log, they get charged back up with moisture. This process also triggers the flushing of the mushrooms.
With the original 70 logs we innoculated, soaking them took nearly a week to cycle through in my two trashcans. And it was a lot of wasted effort, water and time to soak a bunch of logs that aren't growing what I want…so this year I've done a culling of the logs. All the oyster logs will be retired and about half the shiitake logs. Now I've got about 20 logs to soak for a cycle. In addition, I'm moving the location to a spot more protected from the wind, slightly lower in elevation and (I think) a bit more shaded. Hopefully that will keep the remaining logs going!
More Mushrooms, Please!
But with a serious reduction in producing logs, I figured it was time to expand capacity again. It takes about 6-12 months to get more fruiting from logs and early spring is the perfect time to innoculate logs, so I set about it again. This year I went with sawdust spawn (from the nearby Mushroom Mountain). Sawdust spawn is just sawdust with mycellium growing on it (see below). It gets injected into holes drilled in the logs (instead of the – much more expensive – plugs).
While the innoculation step takes longer (than just jamming a plug in), the sawdust is about half the cost of an equivalent amount of plugs. It's also more conducive to cultivating new spawn, which I plan to do on cardboard, mulch, and more sawdust.My trusty sidekick Alon, now more engaged than the first time we made mushroom logs, operating the innoculation tool that pushes the sawdust into the logs. He declared it his favorite tool and offered to do that anytime I made logs :).
In the first two days of innoculation in a few hours here and there, I've finished 18 logs, 12 with oyster mushrooms and 6 with shiitakes. Instead of the "lots of hands" approach, in which we busted out about 70 logs with 5 people in about half a day (see pictures and stats from that experience here), it's mostly just me plodding along at it this time. The time per log is pretty similar (about 20-30 minutes), but I spent less money on getting the logs and a little more time preparing it.So far I've spent about 25% of hard costs (and anticipate only a few more bucks in that). So far that's been* $7 (logs) gas for two trips about 30 miles total* $66 in myceliumFor time, it's been about 7 hours to get to 18 logs with:* 2 hours in log gathering* 5 hours in inoculation

Date : 17th September, 2016
Time : 1h 12'58" (11.38km inc. photo stop)

Rio. Just the name evokes images of golden beaches, sunshine, Carnaval, Sugarloaf Mountain, the beautiful game. All redeemed by a massive figure of Christ overlooking the city centre.
And the reality doesn't disappoint. Its perhaps the best city-beach combo I've come across. The kind of place that makes you think impractical thoughts about immediate relocation.
We're based on the Barra de Tijuca beach. It's not as famous as Copacabana or Ipanema but it's still 11 miles of beautiful white sand, rolling waves and minimally dressed Brazilians.
Even better. The Paralympics are on and there is sport all around. This happy coincidence means that I'm running along the beach front with various members of the Paralympic family and representatives from WADA – the never more in the news and the never more needed World Anti-Doping Agency.
The run has been organised by Andrew Thomas, fundraiser for the Paralympics and led by Mike Townley, General Counsel for the IPC, and it's a very fine run. The weather's perfect, the views are spectacular and the company's excellent.
I'm sure my fellow runners will forgive me if I mention that we were joined Katrina Webb, triple Paralympic gold medallist. It's been my pleasure over the last few years to meet a number of Paralympians and they always inspire me with both their achievements and their enthusiasm. Katrina was no exception.
We had a few stops for regroupings and photos so the time was a leisurely 1h 12' 58" (for 11.4 km). But who cares when you're in Rio?
By now I'm sure some of you are thinking that, just possibly, I'm over gilding the lily. What about all the poverty and violence that you read about (and saw in City of God)?
Andrew and I made it to Copacabana the next day and saw some of the wheelchair marathon. On the way back we started talking about the favelas. From a distance they're actually quite impressive, climbing vertiginously up the hillsides.
Our driver was keen to ensure that we didn't form the wrong impression. There's been a kind of truce during the Olympics and Paralympics, he says. But shortly before the Olympic, a number of bosses were killed. He's sure the violence and the battle for control will resume as soon as the eyes of the world leave Brazil.
What can be done? Nothing in his view as the politicians receive too much money from the traffic (drugs). Of course, it was just one person's view but it was a good reminder that there's another side to the Rio we saw as privileged tourists.
If you'd like to support the Paralympics, either personally or corporately, then let me know and I'll introduce you to Andrew. If, on the other hand, you'd like to donate to Cancer Research then I know they'd be very grateful !

HIGH TIDE: Colby Taylor, Matthew Anders and Michel Lucas
Hiking through a tropical forest, Matthew Anders happens upon two other travelers-Michel Lucas and Colby Taylor. The two stunning young men are out enjoying the sights and each other…asking Matthew to snap their photograph amidst the natural splendor of a tropical forest. As soon as Matthew leaves, the couple decides to enjoy their own respective beauty. Colby services his eager friend, taking Michel's stiff uncut cock into his mouth, savoring the tool from tip to shaft, finally bathing his balls with broad sweeps of a soft but insistent tongue. In no time at all, Michel is on his knees returning the Colby's oral affections, his tongue wandering over the balls and into the crevice of Colby's ass, his finger probing the pucker of his hole. Raising him up, Michel fucks Colby hard and fast; he continues the erotic rhythm as the pair lay nestled in the back of their car. Frenzied, anxious for release, the two taut men stroke themselves to orgasm, blasting each other with their thick hot loads.

text: Royal Dutch Shell Plc is targeting an "aggressive" expansion of its fuel retail network in India, according to a report by the Business Standard citing the company's head of India operations, Nitin Prasad. The Anglo-Dutch energy giant currently operates only 85 fuel retail outlets in India, despite having the licence for 2,000 outlets. There are currently more than 59,500 fuel retail outlets in India. Shell said it had operated around 150 outlets in the country in the past. The company's latest expansion plan comes after the Indian government introduced a daily revision of petrol and diesel prices in accordance with international rates. It is also targeting retail of liquefied natural gas as part of the expansion. Shell expects to bring in the expansion from the end of this year. Fuel retail in India has so far been dominated by state-controlled companies such as Indian Oil Corp Ltd (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL). The sector has remained mired in regulatory wrangles and requires a new entrant to secure clearances from a host of state and national departments. However, rising consumption in the world's third-largest oil market has attracted an increasing number of private and foreign players such as BP Plc in the fuel retail sector. Over the past year, the market share of private fuel retailers has reportedly increased to 12% from 4%. Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit

Monsters on Halloween
The house was first held up Monday night. NewsChannel 36 spoke exclusively with the Deadmon family after the first home invasion. They told us how the robbers forced them to open the safe at gunpoint. They reported the robbery to police, and they believe that's why the suspects returned.
"He told my husband they had come back to kill," Sherry Deadmon said, speaking for her husband Randy, who has a disability that affects his speech.As always, I'm sure there is much more to the story, such as why this particular family was targeted. But the lesson to take away from this has two parts. Part One is that "Yes Virginia, there are monsters." Part Two is that when you encounter them, be prepared.
The family had placed several shotguns around the house because of Monday's crime.
"No one needs to carry a gun at home. What are you--paranoid or something?"
Not yet, but I'm getting there.
When police arrived at the home, they found one man shot in the garage. He was wearing black clothing, a black mask and a bulletproof vest.
Ya got that last part, right? All of us had better let that one sink in deeply. These aren't unsubstantiated rumors floating about the Intertubz any longer. Yes, the bad guys are wearing body armor. They are armed, armored and deadly serious.
We, the armed citizenry, need to become deadly serious as well. Time to start practicing those "failure to stop" drills, or as G. Gordon Liddy once said in another context, "Head shots! Head shots!" Don't have your concealed carry permit? Get it. Don't practice? Start.
There are monsters out there, and not just on Halloween.

Draiden was very pleased to see this woman at work
This is exellent, now i can get that Angel and forefill my plans to make the Sword of Dark Souls Draiden spoke in thoughts
That was an exellent piece of work Stranger, but to be my right hand you must deliver as you promised, sow bring me the Angel and you will become my right hand Draiden spoke

|Fighting Sun is precocious undefeated juvenile stakes winner. He is by Champion Freshman Sire Northern Meteor – the premier son of Encosta de Lago – out of a classic winning mare, and inbred to the family of Sadler's Wells, Fairy King and Nureyev.
Fighting Sun is completely free of Danzig and Danehill, and Northern Meteor has the brilliant Zoustar out of a mare by Danehill son, Redoute's Choice (sire of Snitzel, Stratum, Not A Single Doubt, Nadeem, Al Samer, Bradbury's Luck and God's Own) and Group Two scorer Cosmic Endeavour out of a mare by Danehill. Redoute's Choice is a Northern Dancer/Star Kingdom cross, which particularly appeals here, and might also be brought in through Danehill sons Danzero and Catbird. There are also Encosta de Lago stakes winners out of mares by Danehill sons Flying Spur (sire of Magnus, Jet Spur and Casino Prince), Rock of Gibraltar and Danasinga, while Northern Meteor already has a stakes placed two-year-old out of a mare by Danehill Dancer (sire of Choisir). Other sources of Danzig are also well worth considering here, and Northern Meteor is already sire of Group Two winner Bound For Earth out of a mare by Belong to Me, and stakes winners out of mares by Snaadee and Polish Precedent, while Danzig might also be introduce through Anabaa, Green Desert (sire of Desert Sun – who is already broodmare sire of Northern Meteor's Group One performer Equator – Cape Cross, Invincible Spirit and Volksraad) and Grand Lodge.
Fighting Sun is inbred to the family of Encosta de Lago's sire, Fairy King. Northern Meteor sired Group stakes winner The Voice out of a mare by King's Theatre, a son of Fairy King's brother, Sadler's Wells, and this invites trying Fighting Sun with mares by other Sadler's Wells line stallions such as Montjeu, Singspiel, Galileo, Scenic (sire of Blevic, a who is already broodmare sire of an Encosta de Lago stakes winner), High Chaparral, Barathea (who particularly appeals here) and King of Kings. Over mares descending from Nureyev – a three-quarters-brother to Sadler's Wells and Fairy King – Encosta de Lago has stakes winners out of daughters of Peintre Celebre, Fasliyev, Spinning World (sire of Thorn Park) and Ashkalani, and this strain could also be brought in through Stravinsky and Starcraft. It could also be worth trying Fighting Sun with mares by other relatives to Fairy King, such as Yeats and Perugino (a son of Danzig and sire of Testa Rossa).
Encosta de Lago has sired Group One winner Costa Viva out of a mare by Bel Esprit, a son of Royal Academy (by Nijinsky II), as well as stakes winners from daughter of other Nijinsky II line stallions Serheed, Splendent and Bletchley Park. Nijinsky II might also be introduced through Alquoz, Generous, Tenby, Tights, Whiskey Road and Kala Dancer. There is also an Encosta de Lago Group Two winner out of a mare by Palace Music, a son of Nijinsky II's three-quarters-brother The Minstrel.
Encosta de Lago has enjoyed success over mares descending from Last Tycoon (including siring a Group One winner out of a mare by his son Monde Bleu), and a Group stakes winner out of a mare by Last Tycoon himself. Last Tycoon might also be brought in through O'Reilly, Marju, Bigstone, Iglesia and Written Tycoon. There are also Encosta de Lago line stakes winners out of mares by Northern Dancer line stallions Alzao and Prego (by Be My Guest, who is also represented by Pentire).
Northern Meteor is broodmare sire of Group stakes winner Eurozone out of a mare by Don't Say Halo, a son of Halo. This raises the possibility of trying Fighting Son with mares by More Than Ready, a grandson of Halo. The strain of Halo might also be introduced through Sunday Silence (sire of Fuji Kiseki, Bubble Gum Fellow and Tayasu Tsuyoshi). Halo is a Hail to Reason line stallion, and Encosta de Lago has sired stakes winners from the Roberto, branch of this line out of mares by At Talaq, Silver Hawk and Comic Strip (by Red Ransom, who could be brought in through Domesday and Charge Forward). It would also be good to introduce Roberto through Lear Fan(giving three crosses of the great family of Rough Shod II).
Fighting Son already has two crosses of Mr. Prospector, but there are already more than 150 stakes winners with three crosses of that horse, 20 of them Group One, so it is possible to consider breeding him back over Mr. Prospector line mares. Encosta de Lago has a Group One winner out of a mare by a son of Mr. Prospector stallion, Miswaki, and a stakes winner from a mare by that horse's son, Umatilla (giving inbreeding to the family of Redoute's Choice). Encosta de Lago also a Group One winner out of a mare by Defensive Play and a Group stakes winner out of a mare by Unbridled's Song (who would both give inbreeding to Fappiano, the broodmare sire of Northern Meteor). There are also Encosta de Lago line Group stakes winners out of mares descending from Mr. Prospector through Belloto, Medicean and his sire Machiavellian (also sire of Street Cry and Vettori), Thunder Gulch, Straight Strike and Fusaichi Pegasus. It would also pay to considering mares carrying Jade Robbery who is bred on very similar lines to Geiger Counter, the sire of Fighting Son's second dam.
Encosta de Lago has enjoyed tremendous success with mares descending from Sir Tristram, with Group One winners out of daughters of Zabeel (who brings in Nureyev and is sire of Octagonal, Reset and Savabeel, and grandsire of Lonhro), El Qahira and Sovereign Red, Group stakes winners from daughters of Marauding and Islero, and a stakes winner out of a mare by Westminster. This strain could also be brought in through Grosvenor, Dalmacia, Dr. Grace, Kaapstad, and Military Plume.
Northern Meteor is sire of Group One winner Romantic Touch out of a mare by Snippets, a horse who has also worked well under Redoute's Choice, and who is available through Pins, Snowland, Snippetson and Spartacus. Encosta de Lago is sire of two Group One winners from daughters of Zeditave, who might be introduced through Strategic or Magic Albert.
Fighting Sun is an example of the very successful cross of Encosta de Lago with mares descending from Star Kingdom. Fighting Sun is out of a mare from the Biscay/Bletchingly branch, and breeding back over that line may yield dividends. Encosta de Lago has sired two Group One winners out of mares by Bletchingly line stallions Canny Lad and a Group One winner out of a mare by Bletchingly line stallion Kenny's Best Pal, and Group winners out of mares by Lord Ballina and King Tobias. From the Marscay branch there are Group stakes winners out of mares by Blazing Sword and a Group One winner out of a mare by Paris Opera, with Maizcay being another option. Encosta de Lago also has a stakes winner out of mare from the Zephyr Bay branch of the Biscay sire line (from a daughter of Final Card).

Patients who attend genetic counseling appointments report high anxiety and varied satisfaction levels following their appointments. It has been suggested in previous literature that some of the increase in anxiety and reduction in satisfaction is caused by lack of prior information. Here, I investigated whether providing patients with a glossary of genetic terms prior to their counseling appointment improves patient satisfaction and reduces anxiety in an oncology genetic counseling appointment. I surveyed 96 patients attending their first genetic counseling appointment at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center and analyzed 92 patients for which I had complete data. Patients were randomly selected …

Relevant Things To Keep In Mind When Having A Home Remodeling
Are you planning for a home remodeling? Indeed, there are various possible reasons that make you think of renovating your abode. In case that there are damages to be seen in your place, it is typical on your part to come up with home renovations. No matter what reason you have right now, you have to pursue the remodeling that you are planning so as to make your home awesome.
Indeed, you will be able to get advantages when you pursue your plan of home remodeling. Basically, there is an additional value that can be given to your house. In addition, there is so much joy that you can obtain when you will be able to see your home enhanced. Joy is not the only feeling that you can obtain but also amusement to your friends and relatives who will render a visit to your abode. With this, you will be more motivated to invite your friends and relatives as your guests.
On the other hand, there is an assurance that you will find difficulty in terms of remodeling your home. In order for you to be successful in the plan that you have, there are numerous things that you have to keep in mind. For instance that you wish to give additions to your property, there is a need for you to keep in mind the different areas of your property. The satisfaction regarding the outcome of the home remodeling is an important factor that you have to keep in mind. Therefore, it is vital for you to have a plan before so as to have the chance of having the satisfaction.
A Simple Plan: Remodels
You have to search and get the assistance of a general contractor in order for you to attain your goal of having a plan. Asking referrals from other people can aid you a lot in order to find for the most ideal professional. For instance that you have friends or relatives who have been in the situation of having a home renovation and they sought the help of a general contractor, it would be beneficial for you to ask them first. Getting the names of the credible professionals can apparently be acquired when you adhere with this tip.
The Beginner's Guide to Services
For example that you already have acquired the names of the general contractors, it is then essential for you to meet them personally. When you do so, there is an assurance that you can ask about the payment deals that you need to prepare for your project to be materialized. Moreover, you have to determine the quality of service that can be acquired from the professional. You can attain such when you ask about the past projects of the professional.

'Weekly' movie update
WIth the last site we had up and running the intention was to have 2 videos a day 5 days a week being released from our archive on to the media section. This process got halted with the new site being in production but we should be operation again.
We will try and resume where we left off, so there is some overlay. So last weeks videos in this overview is a compilation of some videos added months ago, and some last week. We will do our best to keep the videos flowing from now on though.
The videos are added to the site in chronological order, as they were originally released to the scene. Enjoy.
What could best be described as a promotional, inspirational and a 'thank you' video to the QuakeWorld community for supporting him in his jorney to become a better player.
Nice soundtrack and I guess we can't ask for too many epic frags in this context
My personal rating: 3/5
Bores Done Lame 2
Hopefully you've seen last week's Bores Done Lame, so the concept should not be unfamiliar. We want to see epic bores, *trollface* and facepalm induced moves. As always we are first introduced to what we expect from a QW movie. Few nice airgibs and leet tricks.. now get on with it .. WE WANT MOAR BORES!! Unfortunately the ratio of bores:nice-frags is just not high enough for me
My personal rating: 2/5
1 minute 30 seconds of acid trip leading up to a few mins of fragging, presenting us with clan Denial. Really poor config/quality but nice idea.
My personal rating 1/5
Mac One
This video was released 10 years ago and it shows. Framerate feels low and graphics are not up to snuff of today's standard. That aside, I can't help but feel good when I watch it. It got a nice flow and the music is fitting. We got some nice frags through out the movie. Kind of poor editing drags the rating down some for me though.
My personal rating 2/5
Best Russian Frags
Apart from xn and gor we are not really seeing much of the Russians these days. This video will give you a chance to checkout some of the more famous Russians from the QW scene like gLAd, delitel, groMM, camperoid, band, slam and more. Soundtrack is definitely not for the feighnt of heart. Again a slowmotion video from start to finish, although some decent quadruns here and there.
My personal rating 3/5
Dag Def Extreme 2
Aweome soundtrack and camera movements in the start really sets the atmosphere.
Where as the first DDE movie started out soft with a lot of slowmotion tricks, this one kicks you right in the face with a plethora of amazing gibs. A cool little warning leaves a moment to catch your breathe, before presenting you with some crazy ass tag-teaming tricks that apart from this movie, you haven't seen before
The soundtrack is the by far the best we have heard so far as well.
My personal rating: 5/5
NQR CMT Video
A promotional video made for CMT (Custom Maps Tournament). A project lead by
Link in effort to get more maps into the 4on4 scene. Soundtrack dabbles in a lot of genres and we do both get to see some epic failures and really nice frags. One of the better videos in our archive for sure.
My personal rating: 4/5
Don't get fooled by the slow intro. This high quality, fast paced video doesn't leave you wanting. Great editing and awesome soundtrack makes this video a pure joy to watch from start to finish.
My personal rating: 4/5
Gods of Hellfire
A tribute video to the clan 'Gods of Hellfire', a Belgian team. Unfortunately we have seen way too few of such videos, that really help capture identities of teams throughout the years. Players associated with this team and former opponents will surely feel some sentimentality in watching this.
GoH was not known for being a top clan, but they were persistent though. After a straight 22 loss they finally won their first match, which was obviously a big moment in this clans history
Despite not being a top rated team by any means, there is a ton of material. The poor quality really drags it down some unfortunately.
My personal rating: 2/5
Lohjan Dag Done Extreme
A funny little video showing off Lohjan Dag (Diki) saving the day for GRHU with one last quadrun. If the video won't take you back in time, the soundtrack sure will
My personal rating 3/5
2012-10-08, 16:58
netQuake too?
I'm enjoying these additions anyways! Some I've never seen, or just re-joying them again!
2012-10-10, 14:06
Nice work. Some really good ones
(Edited 2012-10-12, 14:05)
2012-10-10, 15:20
Yeah, NetQuake is coming too... Team Fortress etc, we will be doing dedicated weeks for those, when we get to the dates where most of them were released.
2012-10-10, 16:29
A video download section would be nice (maybe I am too dumb to find it?), all 5-6 movies I tried to watch were blocked because of some GEMA love (germany ofc).
2012-10-10, 17:57
Thanks for the continued work and for adding the GOH movie too. Good memories
2012-10-10, 21:22
What Leopold said. Please bear in mind that NONE of these videos can be watched by German players (or those with German host masks) who do not use some sort of disguising IP/hostmask/whatever tool (I won't use any names here).
2012-10-11, 01:45
Germans Germans... We will be adding other streaming options for all the videos soon, the reason I havn't done it yet is because I had to upscale all the videos first, so that youtube/other hosts don't convert them using shitty bitrate.
You can see an example video here, with 3 streaming hosts:

Ahh I have so many of these that I bought in Thailand for cheap, but Red Velvet isn't available there and I really like the look of it. They all look so great on you!
April 23, 2012 at 1:13 PM #
Thanks Michelle! I have to say that you're the first person to be envious of my crazy brows but thanks all the same 😀 Lol I couldn't resist so I went and found Tutti Frutti today and it is really pretty!Ruhi: I saw Macaroon online and was so shattered I couldn't get it here because it looks gorgeous. I highly recommend Pink truffle, such an easy to wear every day shade!Vita: It's pretty fabulous so why try and resist it ;)Thanks Emma! Makeup was so much cheaper there but I didn't think to get these when I was there for some reason! Red velvet is lovely but I also love the other red, Candy apple which I haven't swatched yet.
April 24, 2012 at 12:27 AM #
Not to be an enabler but I think you should get some 😀 Especially Raspberry Pie!
AnnaApril 14, 2014 at 2:36 PM #
I think Pink Truffle is gorgeous on you! You have very pretty lips anyway, and the Pink Truffle is subtle and just very nice. I have Fig Jam and Sugar Plum. They're actually the only lip products I own, other than lip balm- I love nail polish but lipstick kind of freaks me out for some reason. Don't mind them on other people at all (of course), but I feel like lipstick makes me either look like a little girl who got into her mom's makeup, or like I'm about 20 years older than I am. Weird, right?! The only tube of lipstick I've ever purchased was one for my wedding, and that was only after trying out a whole bunch at Sephora. When I showed it to my mom, she said it didn't look like I was wearing lipstick at all. Oops, guess that's why I liked it! Still only wore it the one time. The lip butters are better for me, I like that the two I chose only add a little color and shine. I may have to try out Pink Truffle now!

Waterloo's Live-In Home Care Specialists
Decisions about a senior loved one's care are never easy. It can be very emotional thinking about a parent or relative needing assistance with their daily routine. Live-in home care from Home Care Assistance of Waterloo and Kitchener provides families with reassurance during this difficult time, offering around-the-clock care and monitoring to seniors that promotes what matters most – your loved one's safety and independence. We are proud to be recognized as the leaders in live-in home care and invite you to take advantage of our comprehensive care services, 24/7 availability, and 100% satisfaction guarantee.
24-Hour Care Tailored to Individual Needs
Whether your loved one has experienced a fall, hospitalization, or recent health condition requiring 24-hour assistance or he or she simply needs help maintaining independence, allow our experienced and compassionate live-in caregivers to assist with daily activities which may include:
Caring Companionship
Caregivers aren't just responsible for performing menial tasks and chores around the house for your loved ones and making sure they take their medications and get to their doctor's appointments on time. Oftentimes, they also form a strong personal and emotional bond with the people in their care. This close relationship creates a healthy social platform for your elderly loved one and makes them feel appreciated and valued. It can also ward off any feelings of loneliness, confusion, and uncertainty they might otherwise encounter if they're left to fend for themselves. Having a caregiver around is an excellent source of encouragement and comfort because they participate in activities with their charges such as:
- Reading
Part of providing quality in-home assistance for the elderly is also spending time with them and participating in their favourite pastimes. Reading is an excellent way to stimulate the mind and boost your elderly loved one's mental capacity. It also allows them to exercise their critical thinking skills and keeps their minds sharp.
- Letter writing
Whether they're learning how to use e-mail and other modern technological platforms, or putting pen to paper and writing letters the old-fashioned way, maintaining correspondences with people can help your elderly loved one continue to feel connected with the outside world. The best part is that they don't have to leave the house if they don't feel like it because they'll have outstanding elderly companion care provided by a dedicated caregiver and friend right at their disposal.
- Playing mind-stimulating games
One of our top priorities when it comes to providing good quality senior assistance in Kitchener is making sure that your elderly loved one's mind is stimulated on a regular basis. That's why we have a foolproof system in place to match your family member with the most suitable available caregiver to match their personality and interests. Whether your loved one enjoys playing various card games or board games, we'll make sure to find the right caregiver for their needs.
- Engaging them in various hobbies
Boredom is one of the vices that come with constant loneliness. When people live by themselves and aren't able to get out much on their own, they often feel isolated or forgotten by the rest of the world and this can result in emotional problems such as depression or anxiety. However, when your elderly loved one has an elderly companion caregiver who shares in their hobbies and interests; it's easy to feel a sense of relief and happiness. As part of our mission of taking care of the elderly in Waterloo, we take pride in the fact that we're able to find caregivers who actually care about their charges and participate in their favourite activities.
- Accompanying them to various social engagements or church
Elderly people like to enjoy a day out on the town just like anyone else. Or, sometimes, they just want to pay a visit to their friends or go to church on Sundays. Unfortunately, it can be hard for a lot of older adults to drive themselves to places they want to go or take public transit, so they need someone to accompany them. Even though elderly companion caregivers aren't strictly drivers, they can certainly keep your loved one company as they go about their day and run errands or take part in social engagements such as visits with friends, weddings, or other family functions.
- Engaging In lively conversations
We provide a variety of senior care options that are specifically designed to meet the individual needs of your loved one. And that includes finding a quality caregiver who enjoys spending time with them and engaging in lively conversations. At the end of the day, caregivers spend a great deal with their charges, and a little conversation and company can go a long way in helping a senior feel connected to the people around them.
Meal Preparation
Another aspect of caring for elderly people is making sure that they consistently eat well. Meal preparation can take a lot of effort as it involves the following details:
- Menu planning
- Grocery shopping
- Preparation time
- Assisting seniors while eating and drinking
- Keeping up with food expiration dates
- Cleaning out the fridge
- Strictly adhering to dietary restrictions
Personal Care and Medication Reminders
Providing personal care and reminding seniors when to take their medications can be a very daunting, time consuming, and stressful undertaking if you're also managing your own household, working a full-time job, raising a family, and trying to uphold your own personal care habits. Our professional caregivers are fully qualified to care for your elderly family members. We will help in the following ways:
- Bathing and showering
- Personal grooming
- Overall hygiene
- Dressing
- Going to the bathroom
- Incontinence care
- Transportation
- Walking assistance
- Medication monitoring
- Exercising
- Post-surgical care
- Alzheimer's and dementia care
As mentioned, it can be difficult—almost impossible—to keep track of your own life and the needs of your elderly loved one. With the help of Home Care Assistance, you won't have to choose between one or the other. Simply tell us what your loved one needs and we'll make sure it gets done to their standards. This includes:
- Reminding them of appointments
- Supervising home maintenance contractors
- Answering the phone
- Organizing their bills for payment
- Helping them with light housework
- Caring for their pets
- Making sure their living environment is as comfortable and fresh as possible
Errands and Transportation
Running errands or transporting themselves from one location to another can take quite a toll on seniors. It's especially taxing if they have an illness or disability. Our caregivers can accompany your elderly loved one in the following ways:
- Doctor appointments
- Picking up prescriptions
- Shopping
- Collecting dry-cleaning
- Helping them maintain an active social life
- Attending community meetings
- Accompanying them to personal care appointments (i.e. hairdresser)
Technology Handling
An increasing number of seniors are embracing various forms of technology such as tablets, mobile phones, and laptop computers. The newest generation of elderly people is incredibly tech savvy and studies have proven that they're reaping significant benefits from their efforts. Technology has allowed them to engage in the following:
- Video calls to distant relatives and friends
- Interactive computer games to help keep them mentally stimulated
- Better protection of social security information and other important accounts
- Home safety with accurate GPS capabilities
Live-In Caregivers That Go Beyond the Basics
Experience has shown that finding the right caregiver to support each of our senior clients is instrumental in fostering a successful and meaningful long-term care relationship. Along with passing a thorough background and reference check, our bonded, licensed, and insured live-in caregivers are carefully matched to their clients based on personality and shared interests. At Home Care Assistance of Waterloo, it's not just about finding a qualified caregiver, but the right caregiver for your loved one and family.
Here When You Need Us Most
Our live-in care services allow seniors to live out their golden years in the familiar surrounding of home. Yet, our live-in care services are also available to seniors in nursing homes, assisted living and rehab facilities, and even bedside at the hospital to ensure continuity and quality of care is always maintained. It's our mission to help change the way the world ages, and that means making sure that seniors have the highest level of care no matter where they are.

Week one of the Big Idaho Potato Tour was a grand success! It began early Monday morning on March 20th in the parking lot of Foerstel Design. Reporter Anna Silver from KIVI 6 On Your Side came to interview the #tatertwins #andLarry to get the insider scoop and tour the truck cab.
Frank Muir, the President & CEO of the Idaho Potato Commission, was also there to send the team off and give the Tater Twins advice for their first tour. After the interviews, the team loaded their luggage into the truck and made sure to bring the necessities for the potato (pounds of butter, tubs of sour cream, and bags of bacon bits).
After saying goodbyes to their families, Laura Martin (tour coordinator/ superwoman/mama bear), and the rest of the Foerstel team, they eagerly set off for the six-month adventure! They stopped in Rock Springs, WY, North Platte, NE, Columbia, MO, Nashville, TN and ended in Macon, GA. Every stop turned into an event and people flocked to the six- ton potato!
The team enjoyed greeting excited fans in every city and had the pleasure to meet up with a very special fan in Macon, Georgia at the International Cherry Blossom Parade. Super tater fan and longtime friend, Teddy Greene, from Bryson City, North Carolina saw that the truck was in Macon and drove down to see the team! The team and Teddy explored the town and shared dinner at a local burger joint. It was a great way to end the first week of the tour!
The team is now heading off to Houston, TX for the McDonald's Children's Festival and can't wait to see the kids' reactions to the 6-ton spectacle! Thanks for reading and check back next Monday for all the tour updates!
