Skip to comments.Pope Francis Warns Against "Demonic Worldliness"
Posted on 03/18/2013 3:16:25 AM PDT by Biggirl
(CNSNews.com) -- When he said Mass for the College of Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, newly elected Pope Francis I warned these princes of the church against professing what he called the worldliness of the devil, a demonic worldliness.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
There are no other terms, but the Cross. The world does not set the terms of Christ.
All the secular world's demands of 'good works' are worshipping who if done without the Cross?
But where are the crosses in our churches today?? Many have been removed.
If he thinks he can sense demonic worldliness at the Vatican he should see what its like to live near the seat of demonic power (DC)
No kobe beef for him !!!
This was my chaplain in High School.
I don't think he means the Cross as an idol of worship ...
He is speaking about the Cross in your heart and soul.
A few years ago, a friend of mine invited me to join his Baptist church. The first thing I noticed was the absence of a cross both outside the church and inside which I thought was very strange....
And for the almost a year I attended, all the pastor's sermons were entirely on 1 Corinthians.....I thought that was strange too.
I know our Baptist Church has a Cross right on the wall above the Pastor's head as he stands in the pulpit. And, when a Pastor uses an expository preaching style (ie. preaching through the books of the bible) it can easily take a year or even two to preach through as book as large as 1 Coriinthians. I remember our former Pastor taking about a year to preach through 1 Thesselonians, and its a relatively short NT book.
Benedict decreed that there always be a crucifix when Mass is celebrated. I always look to the crucifix and the red candle to know that there is the Real Presence.
So far, Francis seems like a great pope. Very different and unexpected, but very good.
I agree, Pope Francis inspires me already. To me "the cross" is both literal and symbolic. Of course Christian churches, and people should present he cross, the cross defines who we are. The cross is also a symbol of sacrifice, obedience, and willingness to suffer/repent for our sins, and that is where a lot of people go wrong. People will wear the cross, but not bare the cross. They subconsciously refuse to embrace the passion of the cross because it is not easy. It requires humility and detachment from the world we have to live in. We have to continuously ask God for strength, and stay faithful to the sacramental gifts that He gave us.
Anyone who does not pray to the Lord prays to the devil, Francis said,quoting Leon Bloy,a French writer who died in 1917,and who converted from agnosticism to Catholicism.
My prayer for all of us is that the Holy Spirit,through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary,our Mother,will grant us this grace: to walk,to build,to profess Jesus Christ crucified. Amen.
1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ Himself is interceding for us before the Father: "Therefore He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them" (Hebrews 7:25). And then we also have Romans 8:26-27 describes the Holy Spirit interceding for us. With the 2nd and 3rd members of the Trinity already interceding for us before the Father in heaven, what need is there for any non-omnisscient dead human being to be a mediator? Does Mary know the number of hairs on your head?
Even Satan can transform into an angel of light- 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 and has snowed even the very elect, as the bible warns.. Fatima is blinding a flock all the way to destruction..
That's going into my memory bank.
It's true. So many people ask "Why?" when they suffer. Few ask "Why not?" Just look at the Cross.
In this world about which we have been warned, who has an aversion to & is repelled by, the mere sight of and simple display of the Cross of Jesus?
Think long & hard. The correct answer will consist of a list.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Not in my church. When they remodeled the altar a few years ago, they built a new background for our old crucifix, making it larger (and more beautiful), and it hangs right in the center where every one can see it. Plus, we always have a processional cross that changes by the season that comes in at the beginning of the Mass, resides at the side of the altar during Mass, goes out and comes back in with the offering, and leads the recessional when the Priests, altar boys, etc. leave at the conclusion of the ceremonies.
'Demonic Worldliness' explains a lot including young peoples' (even many "conservatives" — as Rush just said) obsession with getting universal homo marriage as if that's the only issue that matters to them. I'm making damn sure that the young people in our family don't go that route.
Imagine the Pope saying...no more visiting the Sistine Chapel...it's not in our budget.
(Did I spell it wrong?)
And the shameful Biden will present himself to the Pope as a good person?? Joe...you can't have it both ways. Killing babies is wrong. Homosexuality is wrong. We are not animals.

snow removal on side walks
Our side walks were installed by the town this summer and they are close to the street and when the plows come through the heavy snow is placed on the sidewalk the corners are even worse. Very difficult to remove especially for older people. Did you think about considering this in your many many studies that mean nothing.
Think of it this way. By owning a house or business you take "responsibility" for your property. This includes your lawn, sidewalks, driveways, and home. If you don't take shovel your walks or driveway and somebody falls and gets hurt YOU as the owner are responsible. So whats cheaper shoveling or paying somebody to shovel or having to go to court cause of your irresponsibility as a property owner. Grow up i have a corner property and have twice as much to take care of as a normal home owner in the area. Quit thinking someone has to do your work for you.
snow removal resolution
How about a resolution about people walking in the street in the middle of summer. Is this not a safety issue? To drive down my street any time of the year winter or summer sidewalks clear or not it is not unusual, sometimes 3 to 5 abreast, to see people walking in the street. I have lived on my street for over 40 years and my sidewalks have been cleared of snow as soon as feasible including the blizzard of 77. On 3 occasions I have seen people walking down this street who have been hit by cars. You know the drill when this happens, insurance goes up, lawsuits are filed,etc. it is always the drivers fault.
What about the pesky pedestrians?
I am one of those dunderheads who snow blows along my side of the street for the entire block. Older folks need help, etc. Anyway, no one ever uses the sidewalk anyway. I don't understand it. How about issuing tickets to them for walking in thestreet?
In Amherst, Shovel Now or Pay Later
"Fed up with seeing people walking on the shoulders"... It always starts with being "fed up" with some annoyance. Just how many people in Amherst walk on these busy streets? Very few! And those who do are mostly teens who don't care where they walk. Now they want to make war on the town because someone has 3 inches of snow on a sidewalk that will not even be used. If you want to be safe, take it on yourself to be safe. Don't walk in the street if it's full of snow and busy with traffic. Chasing down 535 miles of sidewalk clearing is going to be an extremely costly and fultile exercise.
Amherst town board,WHO IS KIDDING WHO
I am fed up with the town trying to get more and more money out of our pockets. Why don't they address the real problems ,I would rather fall on a snow covered side walk ,than one of bare concrete HELLO.

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
Those that work regularly on computers know how quickly computers accumulate content. It doesn't take long before the computer is teeming with letters, spreadsheets, photos and other electronic documents. When a specific folder needs to be repeatedly accessed that is buried deep within this complex hierarchy of folders and sub-folders, the process goes from inconvenient to outright annoying. Fortunately there are tools, like Microsoft's subst command, that can help alleviate the problem.
The subst command, which is included with Windows 95, 98 ME, 2000 and XP, can create what Microsoft calls "virtual drives" that simply point to an existing folder on the computer. For example, a virtual drive "Q:\" could point to a folder "C:\My Stuff." The virtual drive doesn't replace the actual folder - rather, it simply provides an alternate means of accessing it (an optional shortcut). In layman's terms, it means that "C:\My Stuff" and "Q:\" can be used interchangably, and either can be used to access the files in the "C:\My Stuff" folder.
The subst command must be invoked from a command line. Once activated, the program stays in effect until the computer is rebooted or when removed by the user.
For example, lets substitute the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Jimmy\My Documents\Project 1\Files" to a drive with the letter of "F:\"
1) Click on the Start button.
2) Click Run.
3) If the computer is running Windows 95, 98, 98 or Millenium Edition (ME), type command and click OK. If it is running Windows NT4, 2000 or XP, type cmd and click OK.
4) A black box should appear with a Microsoft copyright notice at the top. Now type subst F:\ "C:\Documents and Settings\Jimmy\My Documents\Project 1\Files"
5) If the folder name you want to substitute has spaces in the path, as the example here does, the path will need to be contained within quotations.
6) Hit Enter.
Once the directions have been completed, the computer will have an "F:\" drive. If you open "My Computer" you will see that there is an "F:\" drive in addition to the "C:\" drive. This virtual drive can be used in place of the substituted folder. For example, suppose you save a file "Letter to My Friend.doc" to your new "F:\" drive. That file can be accessed via the "F:\" or "C:\Documents and Settings\Jimmy\My Documents\Project 1\Files."
Unfortunately, this drive will disappear when the computer is rebooted, and the command will have to be repeated every time the computer is started. To alleviate this problem, follow these steps:
1) Right-click the Start button and click Explore. If the computer is running Windows NT, 2000 or XP and you want this drive available for all users that login to the computer, select Explore All Users instead. A file explorer window should appear.
2) Find the Programs folder and open it (typically this means double-clicking it). Now, locate the Startup folder and open it.
3) Right click in the middle of the open window and go to New. When the New sub-menu appears, click on Shortcut.
4) A "Create new Shortcut" wizard should appear. In the box provided, type the subst command. Using the example above, type subst F:\ "C:\Documents and Settings\Jimmy\My Documents\Project 1\Files". Click Next when you are done.
5) The next screen will ask you to provide a name for the shortcut. Change the suggested name, if desired. Then click Finish.
This will ensure that the virtual drive is created every time you login to your computer. This process can be repeated as needed (perhaps you want several virtual drives).
If you no longer want a virtual drive created upon login, simply delete the shortcut and reboot. The drive will be gone for good.
Now, there are some caveats to these virtual drives.
1) Do not format a virtual drive. In the example above, if you were to format the "F:\" drive, you'd actually be formatting the "C:\" drive, because the virtual "F:\" drive points to a folder on the "C:\" drive.
2) If you perform any maintenance on the drive (scan disk, disk defragmentation), you'll be performing maintenance on the drive the substituted folder resides on. Again, in the above example, defragmenting "F:\" would actually defragment "C:\"
3) Viewing properties of a virtual drive will display the properties of the drive the substituded folder resides on. In the above example, viewing disk properties (disk usage, free space, etc) on "F:\" would actually show the properties of "C:\" and not the disk usage of the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Jimmy\My Documents\Project 1\Files."
4) If you change the drive label to the virtual drive, you will be changing the label of the drive that the substituted folder is located on.
In short, virtual drives can be a very useful tool that can make accessing specific folders a little easier. For more information on drive substitution, search your favorite search engine for "windows subst command."

Ship Weight:0.52 Shikai All Natural Hand and Body Lotion Gardenia - 8 oz. (238 ml)Shikai All Natural Gardenia Hand and Body Lotion softens and moisturizes with aloe, borage & shea butter. Clinically proven Borage oil moisturizes and helps heal dry skin. Shea butter leaves an extra silky soft feel. Your skin deserves the extra moisturizing power of this newly enriched soft-skin formula. High concentration of pure aloe vera and vitamin E soothes sensitive skin -- luxurious shea butter provides that soft and silky feel -- and clinically proven borage oil delivers moisture and relief to dry skin. Rich botanical ingredients keep skin supple and young looking. Deep moisturization lasts all day. What is Borage?BORAGE (borago officinalis), commonly called "starflower", is a well known herb which can be found in almost all temperate regions of the world. The plant grows 18" to 36" high and spreads 12" to 20" wide. The leaves can become straggly and messy, but its abundant bright blue, star-shaped flowers, which bloom most of the summer, make the plant one of the prettiest and most colorful herbs. It can frequently be found bordering herb and vegetable gardens and it is reported that fields of cultivated borage plants in North America create a vivid green and purple landscape. Borage is commercially grown for the very valuable oil found in its seeds. The great value of this oil is that it produces the highest yield (up to 24%) of the omega-6 fatty acid, GLA. Among other benefits, GLA is essential for the formation and maintenance of healthy skin cell membranes. SHIKAI Borage Therapy delivers omega-6 benefits directly to the cells for healthier, moister skin.

|In response to Re: Drilling an extra hole in a cast iron sink
: Some areas require an air gap, so don't. Obviously, the dishwasher will drain fine without one, or all areas would require it. Loop the hose as high as possible under the counter, make sure it is not kinked and that it is secure. I am on my 3rd DW in 35 years and have never had an air gap. If your work is going to be inspected, then you must follow the letter of the code for your area.

Graduation Announcements Order Form
Academic Eligibility
Wayland Baptist University policy provides that degree candidates must first be eligible to participate in the Graduation Commencement. Eligibility requirements must include a pre-graduation meeting with an Academic Advisor, fulfilling all degree and financial requirements and applying to graduate. The pre-graduation meeting with an Advisor determines if students are "on course" for degree conferral. If an Academic Advisor finds that a student is ready to begin the graduation process, the student will be directed to file the Application for Graduation and pay the graduation fee. Deadlines for academic and financial requirements are stated on the Application for Graduation and must be followed.
The Degree Evaluation Process
The submission of an Application for Graduation begins a degree evaluation process that involves the combined effort of several university officials at both the Amarillo and Plainview, Texas campuses. All credits that are applied to a student's degree(s) will undergo evaluation and final auditing, and a final grade point average (GPA) will be calculated. The ultimate goal is for Wayland to maintain academic integrity in each degree that is conferred. Actual degree conferral and honors designation is determined during the week before the Graduation Commencement ceremony.
Financial Obligations
Degree candidates must submit the application and pay the appropriate graduation fee of $75.00 for an AAS or BAS Degree; $105.00 for both AAS and BAS Degrees, and $100 for a Master's Degree. In addition to fulfilling degree requirements, degree candidates must clear all financial debts with Wayland Baptist University's Business Office, in order to graduate.
Graduating with Honors
Graduating with honors applies to BAS graduates only. Honors distinction requires that the student has:
Names of honors students are released to the Amarillo campus the week before the ceremony. Students graduating with honors will not be contacted prior to the ceremony, however, before the ceremony begins, these students will be given a double gold cord to signify honor status. They will also receive an honor certificate along with their diploma.
Receiving your DiplomaDiploma packets will be distributed immediately after the ceremony at the designated pick up area. (The diploma cover you receive during the ceremony is an empty diploma cover). The diploma packet will include one diploma per degree granted, a complimentary transcript, a copy of the graduation commencement program, a reflections booklet, graduation photograph order form, and alumni services information. Students graduating with two degrees will receive an additional diploma cover for the additional degree. Diplomas will be mailed to students who are graduating in absentia.

Exclusive: How Our Decaying Civilization Will End, Too Enfeebled to Resist Invasion

The appearance of terrorists is in fact an unpleasant confirmation of Professor Arnold Toynbees 1952 prediction that barbarian war bands would attack our declining civilization. FSM Contributing Editor Philip Atkinson offers a realistic view of our precarious predicament.
By Philip Atkinson
I was born in England, in the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne which is proud of its long history, which can easily be traced back to the period of ancient Romes occupation of Britain. There are many vestiges of the occupation but the most famous remains are those of Hadrians Wall. This was a stone wall extending from the east coast to the west coast of England, built to protect the Roman occupied country south of the wall from raids by northern barbarians, or so I was taught. I have never questioned this explanation until recent events have caused me to consider another purpose for Hadrians Wall.
The Roman wall would never have stopped an attacking army, unless it was manned along its whole length. But to garrison the wall in such a fashion would be to undermine the ability of the Roman army to confront a barbarian host, who would invariably outnumber them. Dispersing its soldiers along an 80-mile front could not, and was not meant to, repel a mass attack, but to overcome a problem identical to that which Western Civilization is now facing. It was erected to stop the steady stream of migrants from the barbarian-ruled areas entering the Roman Empire. And this was done because, even though the barbarians entered the Empire peacefully, they did not come to help the Roman Empire, but to exploit it. They did not want to become citizens of Rome, but to retain their own culture within the Roman community, which made them a liability to the Roman Empire.
The impact of the intrusion of an alien culture upon a failing culture is similar to a parasitic attack suffered by any failing creature. Though the citizens of a declining community are slowly losing their attachments to their own community, they still feel some sense of obligation towards it. It is their community, full of their own kind, which is their tribe, so regardless of their growing indifference to their societys tradition, they still feel a concern for its welfare. Whereas migrants from alien cultures have no such concerns; they are among strangers with a different culture. These invaders have not come to improve their hosts society, but their own, at the expense of their host. Hence such invading minority communities are parasites upon their host community.
Initially, while the invaders are present only in small numbers, they will treat their host with care and respect. The contempt they must feel about their hosts culture will be dissembled, along with their intention to exploit the wealth of their host while avoiding any demands the host may place upon them. They will naturally subscribe to those laws of the host that carry the real threat of penalty or offer profit, but only because of convenience, and not for respect for the notions underpinning those laws; while all other laws of the host community will be silently treated with contempt except in those rare instances where they match their own culture.
As the invaders numbers grow so will their confidence and their own culture will start to assert itself publicly. The invaders general contempt for the culture of their host will become evident and will generate resentment between the different cultures, but while this may fester and flare from time to time, the host will confirm the decaying nature of its own culture by being unable to take effective action against the invaders.
In the last few decades those countries considered part of Western Civilization have become subject to an unarmed invasion by other races and cultures. The wealth and safety currently enjoyed by England, France, Germany, USA, etc., have made them desirable places to live for the poor and frightened of other countries, such as India, Pakistan, Mexico and others. While this has been true for a long time, the barriers that previously prevented the citizens of poor countries from migrating to the wealthier countries have been removed. The previous firm resistance by the citizens of the wealthier countries has been undermined by deterioration in the character of their citizens.
Once the citizens of Western Civilization were determined as well as able. Therefore, they dominated the countries occupied by weaker cultures. These subject countries became colonized they were forced to adopt the language and culture of Western Civilization and the superior understanding of Western civilization was promoted throughout the world, along with its peace and wealth. However as the citizens of Western Civilization became selfish, they lost their resolve, so the control exercised by Western communities declined. This allowed the colonies to recover their independence and re-assert their own culture, which inevitably obtained the poverty and misrule, which had existed before colonialism. As Western Civilization has abdicated its rule over its colonies, wealth and peace have given way to poverty and anarchy. The example of the social collapse of South Africa has been repeated all over Africa. For many citizens of these colonies, modest means enjoyed in peace have been replaced by a perilous poverty, and the only escape from this misery is to go to where wealth and peace still exist, the home countries of their erstwhile colonial rulers. The tide of influence has reversed. It is no longer flowing from, but to, Western Civilization; and instead of peace and wealth, it is poverty and anarchy that are now being spread.
The result of this migration is inevitable. The invaders take over their new homeland by sheer weight of numbers. The original manners, customs and beliefs of the destination country are slowly replaced by those of their invaders. This can be easily seen in the USA where the actual border with Mexico is slowly moving further north every year. The culture of the white Americans is being displaced by their mainly Hispanic invaders; peace and wealth created by the white American culture are being replaced by poverty and crime brought by the invaders. This represents a take-over made obvious by the replacement of the use of the English language with Spanish. Miami is now a Spanish-speaking city even though it is technically in America -- an English-speaking country.
The Americans have naturally tried to halt this invasion but their efforts are weak and ineffectual. The easiest way into America is by walking from Mexico, where a patrolled fence has been erected as a barrier (like Hadrians wall). Those Mexicans who are detected crossing the barrier are merely returned to Mexico to try again. Those who cross undetected are still subject to discovery but this is an unlikely fate, and the penalty is just a return to Mexico to try again. In many cases, the enforced return can be avoided by manipulation of the law.
Mexico is now colonizing America and imposing its language and culture on it. Though the Americans still have the strength of understanding to recognize that the Hispanic invasion should be stopped, they are unable to take the measures required to achieve this end. The very least that must be done to halt the Hispanic invasion is the mass enslavement, or execution, of the invaders, which must be followed by an American invasion of Mexico to enforce American language and values upon the Mexicans. But the citizens of the USA recoil from such ruthless violence embracing delusion instead. They pretend that their futile defense is not folly, ignore the slow but inevitable takeover of their country and persecute anyone who tries to dispel their illusions. America has lost its ability to defend itself and must eventually be overrun by people from other cultures.
The example of the failure of the Americans to defend themselves is being repeated by every Western country. Sharing the same lack of ruthlessness required to repel their invaders these countries now find themselves no longer a single community but a group of different communities of varying races and cultures. Even Australia, which is isolated by vast areas of ocean, is being subject to invasion, and while no single Australian city has yet been taken over, there are now parts of these cities that mimic the original homes of their invaders.
This same failure of the Western countries to defend themselves reveals how the powerful understanding once created by Western Civilization has already dissolved. The two awful signs of impending communal death -- the extinction of genius and the loss of the military spirit -- are there for all to see. The mainly selfish citizens that now comprise Western Civilization may still possess the technology discovered by genius, but they no longer have the wit or the resolution to employ it.
The simple truth that different cultures are irreconcilable, and that one must dominate the others, means that the now impotent cultures of Western Civilization will be overrun. How a particular culture dominates, or attempts to dominate, other cultures, naturally reflects the character of that culture. The fact that the Americans refrain from killing their enemies does not mean that their enemies will refrain from killing them, as America was recently reminded. On September 11, 2001, around 3,000 people were murdered in a barbarian raid upon the USA, when the fanatical followers of an Islamic sect deliberately crashed hi-jacked passenger planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The World Trade Center attack is confirmation of Arnold Toynbees claim that the decline of a civilization means the appearance of Barbarian war-bands. And it is clear that, in one way or another, it is only a matter of time before the increasing senility of the countries that make up the Western world, will see them succumb to invaders. The result will be the final extinction of Western Civilization, along with its wealth and power, and a return to the Dark Ages: a time when there is no human community anywhere that is sane.

Thanks for posting this.
There are certain inevitabilities that go with the recycling/conquest of civilizations, it seems.
OK, so how about thinking this through...let's assume the worst, that we are invaded and taken over. Now what? The invaders have the same problems we do/did.
They took us over by being barbarians, according to this article, but they can't rule as barbarians. They will have to eventually become us, in order to keep what they took over. Then, we've assimilated them.
Remember. Tolerance is the LAST virtue of a dying society
The whole civilization will not go down together, bits and pieces will survive and keep the faith.
But it will be a long dark night until the world reawakens again.
The world of the Renaissance was so vastly different from the height of the Roman empire, that they would have found few points of reference, if not for the islands of knowledge kept by the Roman Catholic Christian church in all the centuries in between. A lot was lost, but the rebirth was not from a world devoid of all knowledge of what had gone before.
Muslims, too, will become a forgotten and little-practiced figment of history insome future date, as quaint as the worship of Zeus and Thor.
This Atkinson cat must be one baaaad mofo.
I certainly hope we still have the will to fight.
I frequently tell sceptics about the imminence of Aztlan that their grandkids will be reading the koran in Spanish.
Read later, thanks!!
Who is Philip Atkinson and why is he invading us?
Excellent post. Thanks.
I wish there was a way to shrug as Atlas and disappear among like minded individuals and let the whole mess collapse as all un-natural systems eventually do. Unfortunately, there seems to be no place to go.
The suicidal left has sold their cancerous manifesto to the masses and it has spread to all vital systems. The antibiotics of morality and virtue are no longer allowed to maintain the health of society. Weakened from within, can we stop the unsophisticated, but are overwhelming number of enemies at the gate?
We are at a turning point, but can we save ourselves? I hope so and there are positve signs that this is all part of a greater plan and that we will prevail politically and be able to reverse course. Otherwise, I hope that there will be pockets of sanity where we can band together until the evil consumes itself and we can emerge into the light of a new day.
Interesting read, and I agree with it. Americans not only are selfish and don't wish to fight militarily, but they are selfishly destroying humanity by destructing the family, abortion our posterity, taking away our protection, forcing and embracing immmoral behavior, etc. All of it will ultimately contribute to our downfall. I honestly will believe that when America is gone, the liberals will be the reason. Perhaps something will shine through their noggins, and they will wake up. Sadly, I don't think they will.
Oh, come on. Most immigrants (including my grandparents) came here to better their lives and, in the process, make the U.S. a better place. They wanted a piece of the American Dream. What's different today than a couple generations ago? The pervasiveness of liberal indoctrination and the implantation of PC, multiculti, and moral equivalence concepts into society that prevents assimilation. I believe most immigrants come here (and I know and work with many) come here for the same reasons our ancestors did.
I will grant the author that we have a huge problem with illegal immigration of illiterate people.
No they won't.
First off, you don't understand either Spaniard or Muslim cultures - which are related due to the Muslim occupation of Spain for 700 years (that's a long time. the effects last). In those cultures, they could care less what the standard of living is in "their territory". What is important to them is that they posess that territory. Nothing else matters to them.
Secondly, they will have no problems maintaining a standard of living above what their cultures create. The Muslims have perfected the slave society over the ages. The word "Dhimmi" and its attendant institutions - taxation on all non-believers, political isolation and deprivation of non-believers, etc ad nauseum - tells you all you need to know about the parasite society they will run. For the outsiders it will be "work for us or be exterminated".
In Mexico, and all countries left over from the Spaniard colonization, a small but vicious and relentless elite lives in lurid, gaudy wealth at a level shunned even by the hyper wealthy of this country. They do so by ruthlessly oppressing the majority of the people in their country and making sure that no one can fight back. They intend to do the same here.
Your post is merely wishful happy talk. "Don't worry, everything will turn out OK, it always does".
To put it bluntly, no it won't.
Yeah, that was the one thing I disagreed with. I don't think that is a good approach.
Why would Philip Atkinson want to invade us?
Excellent read. Thanks for posting it.
Then they will be invaded by a new set of barbarians. And the beat goes on.
Just so.
China assimilated Mongol invaders because it was a strong and ancient civilization with huge numbers, and the Mongols were eventually pulled into it.
We absolutely know, from 1,500 years of history, that that will not work with Muslims. They have conquered numerous great civilizations, and destroyed ALL of them. This includes Egypt, one of the longest lasting civilizations in the world. It includes Persia, the heir of Babylon and the middle eastern cradle of civilization. It includes India, another great and long-lived civilization which only recovered after the British moved in.
Mexican and Latin American civilization is a little more of a question. As you say, they have a brutal and selfish elite, and they have been plagued for their entire history with revolution and discontent. They have never been free for more than brief periods of time. But they are still a better bet than the Muslims. Not a good bet, however. There's only 300 years of history there rather than 1,500, but it's definitely not encouraging.
Marked for later...
There is an alternative proposition: that what we are witnessing is a Darwinian struggle between civilization and barbarity. It would not be the first time.
The irony of such struggle is that by the time it has begun, civilization has already triumphed. And triumphed to such a point that even the barbarians realize they have lost. So it is a futile effort to turn back the clock, to reject the better way, and to prevent others choosing it over barbarism. Only the few who profit from barbarism still support it.
Civilization has also reached a point where even natural forces are much less a threat. And this may be a saving grace.
After WWII, civilization overcame two of the factors that had kept barbarity at bay, starvation and plagues. On their own, this caused a great increase in the raw numbers of peoples living in still barbaric systems. Enough so that by sheer numbers they could menace civilization, the situation we find ourselves in today.
But we are not omnipotent. Influenza and other plagues are still to a great extent beyond our reach in the barbaric parts of the world, though we can much better protect ourselves from them at home. But unchecked through evolution, many are once again becoming a dire threat.
A dire threat to barbarism. Such plagues may do in a few months what we could not accomplish in years.
As a final note, plagues tend to attack from the bottom up in society, eliminating many individuals who are unsuccessful or aberrant. Besides the sick and lame, they also pray on the mentally unbalanced and stupid.
And in doing so, it may in the long run have good implications to our society, as cursed as we are with Moonbats, wackos and lunatics of all stripes.
Wow, must be nice to live in your fantasy world
Did we read the same article ?
Well stated!
I fear much of this is true.
Your post is BS. Equating Mexicans with Muslims because some six degrees of separation parlor game is ridiculous. Equating an influx of Spanish speaking people coming here almost entirely for personal economic reasons with the designs of Muslims that want to destroy is equally silly.
Mexicans want to enjoy the fruits of our success. They're are way too many crossing the border uncontrolled. A small minority of them have leftist leanings and harbor delusions of Aztlan. Muslims want us all dead. Big difference. Relax and have a Corona.
Where does one go to sign up for the Free Republic Anti-Hispanic Paranoics club? It sure seems to have a lot of members.
Great piece! He is right too. If we are not willing to do whatever it takes to preserve our Country, culture and way of life we will ultimately be dominated. We have massive amounts of people invading this country who don't care one whit about our Constitution or Western Culture. As amatter of fact many of them are taught to hate it and how evil the white man is. The numbers are what matter and all this multicuralism crap is coming home to roost. Western Culture has no political advocates but everyone else does.
I hope he is wrong, however, about our unwillingness to protect it. I am not sure though. People are "busy" tied in to the financial system. What he is talking about will take real sacrifice and I think as a society, as he states, we are past that point. Miami and Southern Fla along with much along the border are already becoming dominated by the Hispanic/mestizo culture. What is to stop the rest of the country from eventually becoming the same? Someones culture will predominate.
When do you suppose Philip Atkinson will invade?
"OK, so how about thinking this through...lets assume the worst, that we are invaded and taken over. Now what? The invaders have the same problems we do/did. . . . Then, weve assimilated them."
How well did this logic work for the American Indians in the 1600 - 1800's?
Remember that the RCC saved western civ via the monesteries. They were able to preserve much from the Greeco/Roman times.
Well, hi there, Dane.
Thanks! ;-)
They will have to eventually become us, in order to keep what they took over. Then, weve assimilated them.
Not in ten generations will they become us. We will be dead and so willl all our decendents, killed by barbarians.
And barbarity can last milleniums.
See, Phillip has given up so he wants everyone else to also. I SAY NOT OVER MY DEAD BODY! FIGHT TO THE END! YOU BETTER MAKE SURE IM DEAD BECAUSE WHEN I GET UP........ GOD BLESS AMERICA APPEASERS!
hmmmmm....those who steal our stuff...or want us dead. hmmmm....what to choose what to choose? How about neither?
who is phil atkinson and why should we care if he invades or not?

I apologise that many documentation bookmarks are now out of date. This was not an easy decision, but I think the new doc structure is a lot more intuitive.
The previous documentation had too much of a "reference" style, where, for example, if someone wanted to know about refexes, I could point to "the refex page". That may be easy for responding to questions on email, but it causes too many small pages and too much jumping around for people who're trying to understand it themselves, and I got a lot of complaints about it.
The "master table of contents" is almost always present on the right side, just below the "page table of contents". Both can be toggled off if they distract you.
With this redo, you should be able to use the "master table of contents" and read through gitolite documentation in that sequence. Of course there are places where I have no choice but to refer or link to something that has not been encountered yet, but generally you can ignore those links on a first pass through the documentation, without affecting your understanding of the page you're reading.

Why you're going to love my class
Because of the real-life approach we take to education. There's more to education than a textbook.
Great things for you at UDM
You'll do service learning in my class. You'll go out into the community and volunteer. And when you're done, you'll have a better understanding of your role in the world.
"We want great things for you" means
We're small, we're dedicated, we're concerned about you, and we're in a great location.
My favorite part about teaching you is
Seeing the light go on for you.
You might like to know
I am a retired police chief. But I wanted to teach education rather than criminal justice because I felt I could do more for students that way.
No other professor can say to you
I've written three books, met five presidents, been on Oprah, and had breakfast with Bishop Desmond Tutu.

A: At the turn of the millennium, several studies documented the rise in international student mobility, and suggested that the numbers would inevitably increase. OECD estimates that in 2009 there were over 3.7 million higher education students studying outside of their home country. Data from the Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange, an annual report issued by the Institute of International Education (IIE), show that the number of U.S. students studying abroad has more than quadrupled since the mid-1980s. Other countries, and especially those within the European Union and Asia, have experienced similar and even greater expansion of their internationally mobile student populations.
The key in understanding these trends lies in asking some simple questions: Which are the largest sending and host countries? Where do the students come from and where do they go? As simple as these questions were, they could not be adequately answered. While UNESCO collected and disseminated international student data annually, trans-national comparisons were problematic because different countries used different data definitions and time frames, and most of the data were obtained from state-run institutions only. This was an example of what Todd M. Davis, Ph.D., former director of Project Atlas, called a "lack of global vision" about student mobility: that the international student community lacked "a global source of baseline data that [enabled] us to see this emerging global higher education space as more than just the sum of its national host country parts."
In 2001, IIE launched Project Atlas with support from the Ford Foundation to lay the groundwork for a system for collecting, organizing, and disseminating data on internationally mobile students worldwide. In 2003, IIE published the Atlas of Student Mobility. The Atlas of Student Mobility was a first attempt at pulling together various sources of international student data from the perspective of 21 main host countries (destinations) and 75 leading places of origin using data from publicly available data sets for a single year (2000). This data was supplemented by contextual information, such as national population, level of development, integration into the global economy, urbanization, technology and measures of civil and press freedom. In April 2004, IIE convened a meeting of the major host countries to update the Project Atlas database, and to build a shared online resource to provide more timely and comprehensive global mobility data. This website is a result of that collaboration. The website now includes data shared by Project Atlas partner organizations representing top sending and host countries around the world.
Back to the top
A: Project Atlas is a partnership of public and private national level higher education data collection agencies, informed by an international advisory group and administered by the Institute of International Education. It was launched in 2001 with generous support from the Ford Foundation and is currently supported by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State and its constituent partners.
A: Current data-contributing member organizations include the following:
If you would like to see your country represented, please send us an e-mail. For more information on any of the partner countries, please visit their individual websites, linked above.
A: Project Atlas is currently working on compiling trend data for partner countries. Additional trend data may be found on the UIS website and Education GPS - OECD, as well as many individual country's data websites (such as the Open Doors website for the United States). Please see the "Resources" section on each Country Profile for more resources on international student mobility data for that country. For suggestions or comments on other types of data you would like to see, please e-mail us.
A: The Project Atlas website is the most frequently updated source of Project Atlas data and statistics. Published in 2011, the Project Atlas book, Student Mobility and the Internationalization of Higher Education: National Policies and Strategies from Six World Regions is available for purchase at IIE Books.
A: The difference in numbers published by UIS and Project Atlas is due to the differences in definitions and coverage for international student data.
Data reported by the UIS on internationally mobile students cover only students who pursue higher education degrees outside their country of origin (so called "degree mobility") and exclude students who are under short-term for-credit study and exchange programs that last less than a full academic year (so called "credit mobility"). Project Atlas data cover both degree mobility and credit mobility in tertiary education.
The following example illustrates how different definitions and coverage can impact numbers published by the UIS and by Project Atlas. In 2009, China reported to the UIS that its universities enrolled 61,211 degree-seeking international students. The China Project Atlas partner reported that there were 238,184 international students in China in 2009. These 238,184 students include not only degree-seeking students, but also according to the Project Atlas definition, students who undertake all or part of their higher education experience in a country other than their home country or students who travel across a national boundary to a country other than their home country to undertake all or part of their higher education experience.

So You're Saying There's a Chance?

Canucks working to sign Alex and Alex to extensions before Sept. 15. Also believe theyre still in on Shane doan— Jason Botchford (@botchford) September 12, 2012
According to Jason Botchford, who was chatting with Mike Gillis today when he tweeted about Doan and the two Alexes, the Canucks still believe they're in on the indecisive mythical beast known as Shane Doan.
Read on past the jump.
While the Glendale Interim City Manager was hoping to get the agreement with Jamison completed this morning, the scenario remains farfetched.
Still, there have been some positive signs for the prospective Coyotes sale this week. The City of Glendale is working on restructuring the terms of the jobbing.com arena lease, and recently set aside 10 million dollars in their budget to cover "arena operation" fees. But this particular sale remains uniquely complicated and by way of Sarah McLellan of AZCentral Sports, we can infer that the deal isn't expected to be completed by Doan's Saturday "deadline":
If no owner, that seems to be case MT @thegoogooboo @azc_mclellan Since unlikely Yotes ownership settled this week, Doan's final Yote days?— Sarah McLellan (@azc_mclellan) September 12, 2012
Thanks to Jamison's troubled attempt to purchase the Coyotes and Doan's "drop dead" September 15th deadline, the Canucks think they're "still in" this derby. They've also apparently tabled an offer that, again according to Botchford, would pay Doan somewhat less than the contingent deal Doan has in place with the Coyotes...
All of this is great. But I suspect that all it serves to do is make it that much more heartbreaking when Shane Doan decides to waive the, "contingent on the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to Greg Jamison" clause in the deal he recently agreed to, and stays put in Arizona in spite of the lingering uncertainty.
September 12 2012, 05:28PM
I would not buy a used pencil from Bochford, let alone believe anything he says, so more hearsay on the Doan front. Mike Gillis said it well today; what if this, and what if that? The Networks are getting geared up for a new year, we have Hockey Central back, and tons of speculation as to where the remaining players are going to end up, Lou for one? So now what? I'm ready for Hockey, and the parties are not. I think we may have to approach HNIC and see if they will televise a weekly road hockey game.
September 12 2012, 05:59PM
Botchford is about as plugged in to the Canucks team as you are going to find these days.

How stupid are people?ReplyCancel
Obviously not 9…ReplyCancel
I would never encourage this.ReplyCancel
No 9-year-old should not be given a gun, let alone an Uzi! That child will be scared for life. Just sad.ReplyCancel
This story is tragic. They've shown video clips this morning on the news of the seconds leading up to the shooting.ReplyCancel
Maybe 12, but it depends on the maturity level of the kid and how well they listen to instructions (I'd take my 13-year old cousin over my 29-year old brother).
In any case, there's no reason to practice with an Uzi, especially for a child who obviously wasn't strong enough to control it.ReplyCancel
Shitty instructor, feel no sympathy for him. I do feel bad for the girl though.
The parents are assholes.ReplyCancel
It's not the age of the child that is the problem. The instructor was obviously irresponsible. I've lived many places (TX, AZ, WV) where children take gun lessons from certified instructors with legitimate safety practices. I've never heard of kids taking uzi lessons, so I'm guessing this wasn't an official or reputable class.ReplyCancel
Unfortunately, this was the first news article I saw this morning after I woke up. I can't believe it.
The 9-yr old and her parents were on vacation going through Arizona. They saw the gun-range, thought it would be fun. Evidently, the range is very legal and very secure.
The girl had just shot one round as the UZI can be set to one shot only or full automatic. Now, it's not known whether the instructor purposely set it to full automatic or if it was an accident.
He told her to go "all out" or something like that and she lost her grip and it went full automatic straight at the instructors head.
First. My heart breaks for this man's family. According to locals, he was a good guy w/ a family and good instructor.
Second. My heart breaks for the family who made the foolish decision of thinking it would be cute getting their daughter shooting an UZI on film and uploading it to the internet (i'm assuming..why else would you stop at an automatic gun range and film your daughter shooting a gun…oops i mean UZI).
This little girl's life is FOREVER CHANGED. She just blew off a man's head by accident. I am so very sorry for the mental anguish that girl will go through. I can only hope her parents make better decisions for her and get her someone trustworthy and respected specialist to talk w/ her.ReplyCancel
That poor little girl. Parents are idiots, why didn't they just give her the keys to the car and tell her to put the pedal to the metal? She'll be traumatized for life knowing she killed someone, even if it was an accident.ReplyCancel
Upfront – I apologize to my American "cousins
Americans and their love of guns
This was bound to happen. As if all the previous tragedies weren't enough, now will the NRA get a brain finally and reconsider the need to misconstrue the 2nd amendment for the benefit of ongoing profits and maybe – Just Maybe – place more value on human life?ReplyCancel
Never! Her adult instructor or her parents were enough idiot to think that a 9 years old kid was enough "adult" to use gun or learn to use UziReplyCancel
I handled my first gun when I was 55 – went to the range with Mr. B. My first 3 shots went straight through the ceiling (it was a 38). If I couldn't handle a 38 the first time as an adult, how the hell can you expect a 9 year old to handle an Uzi? We go to the range 3-4 times a year and there's no way I'd try an Uzi – I KNOW I can't handle it.
This isn't a 2nd amendment issue – it's a stupidity issue. I'll bet the parents are equally irresponsible in other ways.ReplyCancel
The first problem is that no one needs an Uzi unless you are in the military. You probably don't even need those guns for law enforcement. Uzis should be made and sold only to the military.
If you can't hunt animals without an automatic weapon, that ain't a sport.ReplyCancel
Just like rocket launchers really are not for personal use.ReplyCancel
Surely the instructor could have said sorry but that really is not an appropriate weapon for a nine year old? There are grown men who probably can't handle that weapon on first try.ReplyCancel
I am a gun owner and strong 2nd amendment supporter but this is just bat-sh*t crazy. I think if parents want their kids to grow up comfortable around firearms and learn to handle them responsibly, you start them out at maybe age 13 with a air gun or pellet gun and go from there. A 9 year old and Uzi? It doesn't take Nostradamus to predict that nothing good can result from that.ReplyCancel
An Uzi? Why not a bazooka, or a stinger, or the nuclear Big Red Button?
A gun can be OK to handle at 9, or a few years older, but some kind of machine gun is too much even for a random 18er.ReplyCancel
Seriously I'm not sure what her parents or the instructor was thinking handing her an UZI
There should for sure be an age limit on weapons like that – at least 18
I feel badly for her – she is going to be scarred for lifeReplyCancel
Please Enty: do NOT unleash the gun nuts.
Here in Washington state we are facing two gun measures on the ballot this November. I will be in a secure location for all of November while the melee commences. Our airwaves have seen the first strike of ads with hours more to follow.
Pray. Any line on cheap housing in the south Pacific? Maybe an island with no tv?ReplyCancel
Well I shot my first uzi at 7 but I was in front of someone. I went to a gun range at 10 but by then I wasn't a rookie. .ReplyCancel
I've never even seen a gun in real life, but I get that some families are into it for fun. However, I don't consider automatic weapons the same as a regular gun. This place was licensed and if its true the instructor told her to go fully auto, he should have been ready to spot her.ReplyCancel
Since her parents are all about respecting firepower early on, will they be getting her some BBC for her 10th birthday?
If she's gonna learn, she should learn young, with something that has some kick to it. Getting her a white guy would be like teaching her on a snubnose .38. Pfft. Not for our lil princess.ReplyCancel
Guns don't kill people, nine year old girls kill people. – the NRAReplyCancel
An UZI on full automatic in the hands of a nine year old girl. What a great idea – not. She could have taken out a lot more people.
Not to mention, kids that young don't have any sense of mortality, or danger. Their brains and sense of morality is not fully developed. She could have just as easily pointed it at someone as a joke – and taken them out that way too.
I support the second amendment and private gun ownership, even public carry/conceal permits (I think it would definitely cut down on school massacres, for example, if teachers were armed) … but NOBODY needs to own or fire a full-automatic assault rifle.ReplyCancel
Please know that I mean no disrespect, but… I don't understand this mentality. Why, in 2014, in the developed world, would you want or need to hunt? Why would a family think visiting a gun range would be "fun"? Why would anyone (not in law enforcement or the military) need to learn to shoot a gun? Why would you let a child or young adolescent (who cannot legally drink, smoke, drive or have sex) handle a gun?ReplyCancel
Being outside of the US I obviously have a much different view regarding owning a gun. From what is presented to us, it sounds like people want to own guns to protect themselves from other humans. Which means that people on both "sides" are buying guns for the purpose of shooting another human being. And so many of you don't see the problem with that.ReplyCancel
Who in their right mind would let a child anywhere NEAR a gun?ReplyCancel
Too bad Ted Nugent wasn't the instructor.
This story is a sad example of the ongoing stupidity about guns in America. That poor girl probably wanted to stop for an ice cream. I mean who does that? Idiot parents.ReplyCancel
@tina. re animals & sport, do you think animals have their choice of weaponry?
The parents & the instructor were idiots.
It must have been traumatic for the little girl , images she will never forget. She'll be in therapy for a very long time.
The parents probably recorded it to post online
/ Facebook.
A split second that changed the lives of so many people forever.
I feel so sad for the instructors family & friends.
I feel devastated for the young girl.
I also really dislike the parents, much anger.
Rant over, but I could go on.
@Skippy: Don't feel bad for the instructor. If he was good at his job, he would be alive.ReplyCancel
Small-caliber bolt-action rifle: 6-8, depending on the maturity of the kid, if closely supervised.
Semi-auto rifles, pistols, revolvers and shotguns: 12-14, supervised, with limited ammo loaded.
Full-auto weapons: 16-never, depending on physical and emotional maturity.ReplyCancel
So… what if the next gun tragedy in the states was a 3, 4, 5, 6 yo who got a hold of the gun in the house and shot their….
Oh wait… that's already been done
You mean to suggest, that 1st world countries on this planet, that don't have laws stating — all have a right to bear arms (incl. Dogs, cats, clowns, bears) — that those countries (who don't have gun tragedies every day/week/month) — somehow have it wrong?
Well Shit!! Glad I live in those countries! Don't have to worry about some pissed off pussy, hound dog mutt or backwater grizzly blowing my head off because of 6pm traffic road rage. Oh yeah, and at least we're aliveReplyCancel
As an Australian usually any discussion I enter into with Americans about guns serves as the proverbial red rag. So I won't venture into that territory. However…. an Uzi? WTF?
When we lived in the bush my dad had rifles to kill pests (rabbits, roos and foxes). He taught me to shoot as a kid, but with an air rifle, at targets. All firearms were kept locked up, separately to ammunition. Here, we seem to travel along pretty well with people NOT being shot and killed, having a dearth of school shootings and other fatal rampages. This is effing tragic. Good one mum and dad! (And sympathy to family of deceased), but shouldn't the instructor have shown more sense and not let her have access to an Uzi?
@susanb I would have to go do some research to confirm but at the muzzle a .38 and 9mm parabellum(what the Uzi is generally chambered for) have about same energy.
Everyone this range was advertized like a thrill ride. Think about it in those terms not as weapons training.
The video was recorded by the family and released by the sheriff.
@Bprofane I think you have the ages about right.
This was an unfortunate accident. One that the instructor has a large part in creating. SOP for that range when children fire. Instructor on the same side as the firearm; hand on the shooters shoulder so if necessary he can control the weapon. This instructor was on the shooters left and had his hand on her back. Most shoulder fired weapons when fired full auto will climb up and to the left! I hate to say it but the instructors action look in the aftermath almost suicidal.
This should have been a safe endeavour. It can be made safer by changes to the firing station.
This should not be turned into a discussion for or against gun control. It should be a discussion of appropriate range safety procedures.ReplyCancel
Except in Russia. . Backyard bbqs.. shooting down random 747s.ReplyCancel
I foam at the mouth whenever Ted Nugent's name is mentioned.
He's a horrible HORRIBLE person. Just visit his facebook page and see why.
He brags about killing animals. He loves to shoot any homeless cats that show up on his property, for instance.
Just – a pig of a human being.
And it has nothing to do with his gun ownership. He's a sadist.ReplyCancel
For some reason when I think of this family tootling along the desert road on vacation, then they see the shooting range and decide t go in … it reminds me of a scene in this hilarious road movie, and I can't for the life of me remember the title, but it's about this mysterious millionaire who gathers several people in a hotel room and sends them on a madcap cross-country adventure to claim a treasure… .I think it was Jon Lovitz who was one of the people, he's on vacation with his wife and kids and doesn't tell them about the treasure, while at the same time trying to win it … they're tootling along a desert road and his daughter sees a sign for the Barbie Museum and starts whining that she wants to go, so they finally relent and go … except it's not Barbie DOLL it's KLAUS Barbie, it's run by neo-Nazis and the family is Jewish. I think he ends up accidentally stealing Hitler's car … It was VERY funny.
But I digress…ReplyCancel
Found it!
It's called Rat RaceReplyCancel
Meme: If you don't live in America, then please, don't worry about our gun laws. Surely whatever country you live in has its own problems you can fret over.ReplyCancel
Gotta say, Australia may not be perfect, but I am glad we don't have that many gun – related incidents. Such a tragedy.ReplyCancel
children probably shouldn't shoot anything but rilfes below the age of 18. What I would like to see happen is a massive lawsuit that makes this regulation.ReplyCancel

All but 6 dogs in hoarding case adopted
February 7, 2014
Sammie's Friends provides feeding assistance, medical aid, and spayneutering services for cats and dogs in low-income homes.
"Every year we pay for 2,000 animals to get spayed and neutered," said Cheryl Wicks. "There's no excuse for not asking for help."
Sammie's Friends can be reached at 530-471-5041. You can also find them at 14647 McCourtney Road, Grass Valley or http://www.sammiesfriends.org.
All but six of the dogs seized from a San Juan Ridge man alleged to be a dog hoarder have been adopted, according to Cheryl Wicks at Sammie's Friends animal shelter. The remaining animals cannot be re-homed until local courts sort out the case against their owner, Gary Perkins.
Perkins reportedly has asked to get some of his dogs back. Four of them have been assigned to foster families on a temporary basis, but two are still stuck in the shelter for now.
"Being arrested and having charges against you doesn't equal conviction," Wicks said.
"So those six dogs, we have to hang onto them until the courts make a decision," she added. "We could place those dogs in a heartbeat if he let us."
All the other animals seized from Perkins have found a home.
Wicks says they were timid at first and hungry, but there were no aggression issues. After a few days, they turned out to be friendly — and easy to place.
But there were problems. Parasites were an issue. Every single dog had a serious tapeworm infestation, and at least 10 also had to be treated for heartworm.
One puppy had giardia, another had kennel cough, and a third had one swollen eye. Several of the animals had strange lumps or tumors, most of which went away after being treated with antibiotics. All of them had to be spayed or neutered.
Wicks estimates the total cost of treatment to be in excess of $12,000.
Sammie's Friends raises money through grant writing and donations — but despite the significant costs involved in cases like this, they have more fundraising success with stories that involve a single animal.
"We tend to get the most donations when we focus on one dog with a problem. When it's a conglomeration, we get some donations but not much money," Wicks said. "With what the county pays us, we would've had to put them all down."
A total of 31 dogs were seized when animal control officers raided the Bear Trap Springs Road property where Perkins was reportedly squatting — not including five dogs that were found dead at the scene.
One dog was pregnant with a litter of 11 puppies. One of the puppies was stillborn, driving the total to number of live dogs involved in this case to 41.
At the time of Perkins' arrest, county officials told The Union that his animals had no access to food or water. They were emaciated and described by animal control officers as "very skinny."
"Their feces was like dirt," said Melise Munroe, founder of Pound Puppies Animal Foster. "There were signs of berries and stuff like that. I've never seen that kind of stuff in a puppy's feces before. They were basically eating dirt to survive, and that's just inexcusable.
"I hope the dogs don't have to go back to him," Munroe continued. "He has no home and no money, so how's he going to care for them? It's not fair for the animals."

Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson responded Thursday, two days after USA Boxing accused him of "undermining" the Olympic team because he signed a top boxing prospect to a professional contract.
The New York Post obtained a copy of Tyson's letter to USA Boxing, which it said was faxed to USA Boxing President Charles Butler late Thursday night.
In the letter, Tyson, whose fledgling promotional company is called Iron Mike Productions, wrote that he was "most disappointed that you and USA Boxing could not afford me the courtesy and respect, not only as a former heavyweight champion, but a former amateur champion, to contact me first instead of taking advantage of my name and company for publicity.
"Your organization never attempted to contact me directly to discuss this matter. Had you done so, perhaps you would have a better understanding of my love for amateur boxing and my commitment to protect fighters by giving them the best possible opportunities this business can offer."
OPEN LETTER: Tyson's response to USA Boxing
Butler, in his letter addressed to Tyson that was released to the media, said, "These young boxers are foregoing their Olympic hopes and the hopes of our nation in exchange for a professional boxing contract now. You are offering these athletes pennies on the dollar of what they could be worth with an Olympic medal, or even potentially just being an Olympian."
Tyson, a former amateur heavyweight champion who just missed making the 1984 U.S. Olympic team, defended his signing of 152-pound prospect Erickson Lubin on Tuesday, the day he turned 18.
"No one knows better than I the pitfalls of amateur and professional boxing," Tyson wrote. "This is precisely why I am compelled to make Iron Mike Productions a transparent company. Our priority is the well-being of our fighters and to produce the most exciting fights we can and in the process uplift the sport of boxing."
According to The Post, Tyson added, "I love my country and I love the liberties living in a democracy affords. These young fighters have worked diligently and deserve the right to pursue the best path they deem fit for themselves. Unfortunately, many of them can't wait around for a very slim shot at Olympic glory."
Tyson said USA Boxing's poor record of producing medalists in the last several Olympics might have something to do with young boxers deciding to forgo Olympic training for a pro career.
"Our country hasn't had a male boxing gold medalist since 2004 (Andre Ward) , which could be why many young hopefuls decide to turn professional sooner," he wrote.
He also wrote, "Many of these boxers are like me in that they are from poverty-stricken communities and boxing is their only way to a better life. They have obligations beyond your personal vision for them. No one has the right to question the path a fighter chooses in pursuit of their American dream."
The sentiment was echoed by USOC CEO Scott Blackmun, who said that "I don't think you can take away the choices that our athletes have. They have to weigh the importance of an Olympic medal . . . and weigh that against the short-term opportunity of turning professional."
Tyson said his company's signing of Lubin, from Kissimmee, Fla., "was solely (Lubin's) decision and based on consultation and input from his advisors." He added that he turned pro at 18 "and had a very successful professional boxing career."
Tyson finished his letter with an offer of help to USA Boxing, according to The Post. "I will always be supportive of amateur boxing and will continue helping in any way possible. My door is always open to assist the USA Boxing team reach its goals. Hopefully, in the future, you will be more comfortable reaching out to me directly."
USA Boxing spokesperson Julie Goldsticker said Thursday night she had read the Post story, but had not yet seen the letter.
