Steve Of Austin

I like to explore my world up close and personal, often through the lens of my camera. Beginning in 2013 This blog will also contain happenings in Austin, Texas, and my take on All Things Austin. Thanks for taking a look.

Project Monsoon  Clever colorful street art that only appears when it rains

After the Superhydrophobic Street Art, which uses a superhydrophobic coating to create designs which appear only in the rain, here is the Project Monsoon, which uses the same concept, this time with hydrochromic painting, which reveals its color only when wet. This amazing and clever project was designed by a Korean team of designers, in collaboration with Pantone, to provide color to the streets of Seoul during the rainy season, while paying tribute to the Korean culture. A brilliant idea! Source: ufunk

A simple guide to picking a great color palette. No matter what the colors are, using colors that are certain distances from each other on the color wheel result in a great contrast of colors. The simple color schemes shown above are used in the most popular logos, posters, websites, paintings, and even movies and television.

One of two fake abortion clinics on the same street as the REAL center, the EMW’s Women Center here in downtown Louisville. This one is right next door to the actual clinic and this place is seriously a nightmarish hell-hole for any unsuspecting women tricked by the anti’s. They assure you this this the abortion clinic, they get you inside, and then offer you food and drink—which of course, means that once you realize your mistake, you can’t run next door and catch your actual appointment, since you need to fast.

Women have come out of this building crying, and on a few rare occasions, without their pants. They take you to a back room for an ultrasound, have you remove your pants, and then begin lecturing you on the sins of aborting. They do not give you back your pants until you have listened, and a few women tricked this far refused to listen and stormed out furious, ashamed, and in their underwear.

This is the anti-choice agenda—lying, tricking, shaming, and embarrassing women to the brink of hysterics in hopes that she carry the pregnancy to term. Forcing her, through lies and manipulation, to do with her body what THEY want, not what is best for her.

There is no “choice” at the Louisville “Women’s Choice” clinics. Just abuse, shame, and bigots who would rather undress a woman to make her feel vulnerable and then explain how awful of a person she is than let her make HER. CHOICE.

I reblogged this at first without checking if it was legit but it turns out it is legit and people need to be warned. A simple google search is all the evidence you need.

Reblogging for links.

And as a general rule: if the place says “crisis pregnancy center” or anything similar, IT IS A TRICK. Real women’s health clinics are typically called “women’s health clinics”. They do not specialize in ONLY pregnancy, because a uterus owner has more health concerns than just that uterus. Even if you get past the name, Planned Parenthood’s full description is as a health clinic, because they screen or refer to physicians who screen for cancers and diseases, as well as educate about pregnancy (yes, they can and do explain what to expect throughout pregnancy to new mothers who want their pregnancies. My mother found her Lamaze class through a PP.)

Crisis pregnancy centers cannot call themselves “clinics” because they do not actually offer licensed medical care. If they try to use “clinic”, remember that ethical doctors would never use “crisis” in their practice’s name; a crisis is a difficult choice or situation, often with moral implications (i.e.: “crisis of faith”, “financial crisis”, “mid-life crisis”, etc.) It has nothing to do with receiving medical treatment. No one with a broken leg is having a crisis; they’re having a medical emergency. Words matter.

It disgusts me that these places are actually legal to operate.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/austin-passes-new-anti-crisis-pregnancy-center-ordinance-pro-lifers-promise This same thing is all over the Country. Some liberal cities, like Austin, TX, thank goodness, have done their best to force these sham cites to post signs indicating that they do not offer or refer any medical treatments or advice.

Nightly News Full Broadcast (February 15) - NBC News

My prayers go out for our Neighbors stuck in Blizzard and Freezing conditions... roads are slick, power is out, pipes are freezing, roofs are collapsing: may you find Warmth and Safety, and HOPE as you wait for warmer temperatures.  Our prayers go out for People being persecuted by ISIS... our sisters and brothers are being killed because they won't convert to this radical form of CULTISM.  We pray that the eyes of ISIS members will be opened to the horrible atrocities they inflict, and their hearts will be changed.

In Sunday night's broadcast: A brutal blizzard and an approaching ice storm has much of the eastern U.S. in the deep freeze, the FAA announces new rules for commerical drone use and thousands of homeless veterans in Los Angeles are a step closer to finally being off the streets.

On February 26, the FCC is going to decide if the internet should stay free and fair, or if it should be handed over to the cable companies.

You don’t want them to pick the cable companies.

Join everybody on the internet to help the FCC do the right thing.
