DescriptionHarlan Estate Red 2009
The Maiden
Bottle (6)
"The 2009 Proprietary Blend The Maiden wraps around the palate with dark cherries, plums, cinnamon, cloves and new leather. This is a surprisingly muscular style for the year, with quite a bit less of the early appeal than is found in many other wines. The aromas and flavors remain dark, powerful and brooding from start to finish. Flowers, cinnamon and mint add further complexity on the finish." (93 pts. Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #204, Dec. 2012)

Bladder Diseases
The bladder is a hollow organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine. Many conditions can affect your bladder. Some common ones are
- Cystitis - inflammation of the bladder, often from an infection
- Urinary incontinence - loss of bladder control
- Overactive bladder - a condition in which the bladder squeezes urine out at the wrong time
- Interstitial cystitis - a chronic problem that causes bladder pain and frequent, urgent urination
- Bladder cancer
Doctors diagnose bladder diseases using different tests. These include urine tests, x-rays, and an examination of the bladder wall with a scope called a cystoscope. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. It may include medicines and, in severe cases, surgery.

Radiation Therapy
Also called: Brachytherapy, Radiotherapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment. It uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and stop them from spreading. About half of all cancer patients receive it. The radiation may be external, from special machines, or internal, from radioactive substances that a doctor places inside your body. The type of radiation therapy you receive depends on many factors, including
- The type of cancer
- The size of the cancer
- The cancer's location in the body
- How close the cancer is to normal tissues that are sensitive to radiation
- How far into the body the radiation needs to travel
- Your general health and medical history
- Whether you will have other types of cancer treatment
- Other factors, such as your age and other medical conditions
Radiation therapy can damage normal cells as well as cancer cells. Treatment must be carefully planned to minimize side effects. Common side effects include skin changes and fatigue. Other side effects depend on the part of your body being treated.
Sometimes radiation is used with other treatments, like surgery or chemotherapy.

Urine and Urination
Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The waste is called urea. Your blood carries it to the kidneys. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to urinate. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If your urinary system is healthy, your bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine comfortably for 2 to 5 hours.
You may have problems with urination if you have
- Kidney failure
- Urinary tract infections
- An enlarged prostate
- Bladder control problems like incontinence, overactive bladder, or interstitial cystitis
- A blockage that prevents you from emptying your bladder
Some conditions may also cause you to have blood or protein in your urine. If you have a urinary problem, see your health care provider. Urinalysis and other urine tests can help to diagnose the problem. Treatment depends on the cause.

A poster on my local board is furious that a fishmonger didn't make his salmon fillet exactly .5 lb as requested and didn't say "it's a little over, is that ok?" This got me wondering - how exact should the weight at the meat or fish counter be? How much over/under is acceptable? Is it ok to insist the butcher or fishmonger trim your purchase down to exact weight even if that means more waste trimmings for them?
In the case on the local board, the poster asked for .5 lb of salmon at $13/lb. The fillet initially weighed in at .85 and the fishmonger trimmed it down, and wrapped it up. The poster later discovered that it was over .5 lb by $2, which by my calculations means it could have been .6 lb or thereabouts. To me, this seems close enough and I wouldn't expect the fishmonger to waste .1 lb of fish to make my piece exactly .5 lb, but maybe others would? Should they tell you it's still a bit over? Is it ok to tell them "no, it's not ok that it's a little over" and insist they trim the piece of fish further?
Does it matter how expensive the item is? Either because the customer shouldn't have to pay for more than she asked for or because the store shouldn't have to waste expensive items?

The Obamas at the National Tree Lighting 2013 | Pictures
Mariah Joins the Obamas For a Picture-Perfect Tree Lighting
The first family was joined by a few famous faces for the annual national Christmas tree-lighting ceremony outside the White House on Friday. Following a series of holiday performances, President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their girls took the stage to address the crowd as the tree was lit, all smiles despite the rain during a picture-perfect moment. While speaking, Obama took a moment to remember Nelson Mandela, mentioning "a special measure of gratitude" for the former South African president who passed away earlier this week. At the event, Michelle also spent some solo time in the spotlight to read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to kids with one of Sesame Street's puppets, and there were several performances including appearances by Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Janelle Monáe, and The Avett Brothers.

Layoffs continue by economists wonder how many are left to let go. Hiring continues to be slow yet jobless claims are the lowest they have been in forty years.
The U.S. Labor Department announced on Thursday that unemployment claims for the week ending October 17 rose from the previous week by 3,000 applications. A total of 259,000 claims for unemployment benefits were made for the week. Analysts and economists were expecting claims in the 265,000 range.
When compared with the four week average, according to Bloomberg, it was the lowest number in forty years. Even though consumer confidence and spending has been optimistic, employers keep shedding jobs and staying lean on the employee front. Hiring has not been strong these past several months as businesses are still concerned with the overall American economy and especially the slowdown happening in the rest of the world particularly in Asia.
Many leading economists feel that there isn't that many people left in the workforce that can be laid off. The number of ongoing unemployment claims went up 6,000 for the previous week of October 10. There are now 2.17 million Americans collecting unemployment benefits. This is, still, the lowest it has been since November of 2000.
For people who are entitled to unemployment benefits, the unemployment rate for them was reported to be 1.6 percent. The Labor Department said there was nothing amiss in last week's data and that no state sent in estimates. While lower jobless claims tend to support stronger hiring trends, this doesn't seem to be the case. Less hiring indicated re-structuring and trying to make do with the personnel on hand until growth decisions are made.
The unemployment rate stayed at a low 5.1 percent. This indicates full employment to many analysts who measure a 5 percent unemployment to mean that everyone who wants a job probably has a job. There has been no growth seen at all with regard to new hiring's over the past several months. The Federal Reserve will meet on October 27 and 28 to consider raising its benchmark interest rate. Their benchmark rate had been almost zero since early in 2008.

Dear John: I feel that President-elect Donald Trump can hit a home run with two quick fixes that have been long neglected.
First, authorizing the refinancing of student loans, which have been breaking the backs of students and directly and/or indirectly their families.
Second, attacking the bureaucracy that has allowed public housing to be neglected and apartments to be inexcusably in disrepair for years.
Mr. Trump would be using his skills as a negotiator and a builder. T.G.
Dear T.G.: Whoosh! I've waved my magic wand so it will happen.
Dear Readers,
Your letters to John Crudele are streaming in fast and furiously, asking Dear John to right the wrongs you're facing. Because of this influx, The Post Business section will feature more of your inquiries in the hope of helping you with your troubles.

There has been a dramatic boost in media attention to medicinal cannabis in 2013, with reports on CNN, ABC, CBS, and local periodicals about great-cannabidiol marijuana oils efficiently governing the signs and symptoms of uncommon epileptic circumstances like Dravet syndrome, Doose disorder, infantile spasms, cortical dysplasia, plus more. These conditions may cause hundreds to thousands of seizures a week, whilst impairing development in several other ways. For households with children affected by this kind of conditions, the challenges are mind-boggling. Due to the very complex nature of Dravet and relevant syndromes, standard pharmaceuticals are unsuccessful and sometimes make the troubles even worse. Without any other wish, families have turned to substantial-CBD cannabis oil, which happens to be demonstrating to work with miraculous efficacy. buy marijuana clones
- As you have seen, the usage of.
To clarify, substantial-CBD cannabis oil is no-psychoactive and evidently much more helpful than substantial-THC marijuana oils. Cannabidiol is an additional cannabinoid inside the cannabis herb, such as the a lot more well-known psychoactive cannabinoid THC, with important research advising neuroprotectant, anticancer, antidiabetic, contra --ischemic, antispasmodic, antipsychotic, and antibacterial qualities, among others. Moreover, cannabis oils is a form of extract from marijuana. This sort of oils contains large amounts of focused cannabinoids that may be by mouth ingested rather than smoked, conserving the medical materials and permitting them to be provided through digestive tract, rather than the breathing system.
More helpful than substantial-THC marijuana oils Cannabidiol
The research demonstrates that CBD has panacea-like qualities, and in exercise, this is certainly demonstrating to be the situation. On August eleventh, 2013, Sanjay Gupta unveiled a documentary on CNN about Charlotte Figi. Charlotte is really a young Dravet syndrome affected person who has been possessing 300 grand mal seizures weekly. No pharmaceuticals or nutritional alterations could do just about anything to lessen this amount. Charlotte's mother and father found out about higher-CBD cannabis gas, and following literally the first serving, Charlotte's seizures discontinued. She has lower than a few minor seizures per month. This situation is nothing short of incredible, and it's not isolated. Dr. Margaret Gedde, a Colorado Springs doctor, is tracking 11 new patients of the Stanely siblings, the providers of Charlotte's great-CBD medicine. 9 of these have gotten 90-completely special discounts in convulsions, which yet again, is actually amazing. marijuana teens
Clones buy
The epileptic conditions that CBD is demonstrating to be effective in opposition to are extremely intricate, and not even the strongest, effectively explored pharmaceuticals are already capable of inducing any recovery. Nevertheless higher-CBD marijuana oil is instantly and potently lowering signs, with all the only unwanted effects simply being systemically beneficial - much more vitality, greater understanding, increased actions, and more.
With all the only unwanted effects
It really should not be unexpected that outcomes like these have been going on for a long time. The same as research indicates cannabinoids are therapeutically effective towards epilepsy, there is study indicating they could eradicate cancer and handle other severe diseases. And then in exercise, for epilepsy and they other difficulties, the final results are converting to human beings. Many people have been reliably eliminating cancers for several years and mitigating diseases like diabetic issues, Crohn's, fibromyalgia syndrome, heart disease, long-term discomfort, a number of sclerosis, and much more. This really is as serious since it receives, and much more consideration has to be delivered to this concern. buy top shelf marijuana clones
Difficulties the final results are converting to
As you can tell, the application of therapeutic marijuana is important. This isn't about relieving the side results of radiation treatment or enhancing hunger - this can be about placing significant ailments into remission, eradicating cancers in mankind, and enhancing all facets of individual well being. To see the medical and experiential proof promoting this, including medical records of terminal many forms of cancer patients now in remission, pay a visit to CannabisExtractReport.com.

Most of the major oil and gas OEMs are longstanding customers of Trinity Forge and Machine, as well as many start-ups and medium sized companies. Our forgings can be found at oil fields worldwide and are used in a wide-range of applications.
With the ability to forge, machine and assemble built-to-print components from carbon and microalloy steels, stainless steel, aluminum as well as exotic alloys such as nickel-based alloys and titanium, we possess the capabilities and technical know-how to offer built-to-print, custom components common to the oil and gas industry, including:
In compliance with ISO 9001:2008 and AS9100C our staff ensures all requirements on a PO are met, on time and to the required specifications.
We have the ability to forge to near-net or net geometries, so that machining cost can be reduced or avoided. This is in respond to the oil and gas industry's recent push to achieve both cost savings and better quality parts simultaneously. Trinity Forge and Machine has retrofitted its range of hydraulic forging hammers with computer-controlled programmable controls. These controls automate the forging process, allowing for net or near-net forgings manufactured with extremely consistent mechanical properties while also greatly reducing production cycle times.

Tick Tock Tuesday, May 3 2016
Uncategorized 2:54 am
On a brilliant and cool Monday morning, we ascended the steep hill to the upper Basilica. The streets were teaming with members of the Order of Malta from all over the world. The shops were doing a brisk business and the traffic congested. I was going at full speed in my vestments covered by a jacket. We were heading to our final Eucharist together.
This is not my favorite event. It means we are coming to our end. The tick-tock was beginning. This is the Mass when we give out the medallions to the young people of our pilgrimage. Afterwards we gathered in a chaotic mess on the terrace for a last round of group photos. Some headed to the Stations of the Cross built into the mountain next to us. Others went accross the river to the handicapped accessible Stations. Small groups stayed around to chat. Before the reflection groups this afternoon pilgrims were racing to buy gifts for people at home and fill jugs of water from the spring. I headed back to the hotel with my father after purchasing a few things. And then it was time to pack.
The pile of stuff and bags asks an obvious question. What do we take with us and what do we leave behind? What will we need right away and what could wait for later? It's not the first time we ask this. Nor is it a challenge only at the end of a pilgrimage. It is intentionally open ended.
After dinner, our final night together, is always something beautiful, new, and familiar. Our speakers gave reflections on their experience as a malade, a caregiver, a medical team member, and a member of the Order.. It is almost impossible to accurately put into words what happens here. And even as we say that, we try to do it. From each individual's perspective, the beauty is tremendous. And after each pilgrimage the discovery of that is always powerful . We speak as if we were the first to discover the grace of God.
But it is also wonderfully familiar. I don't we take it for granted but it is a special blessing to expect it. You don't heat up a bowl of soup and be surprised to find a Toyota. No, the wonders never cease and they are new every morning.
As for tomorrow morning…

Saint Augustine once beautifully wrote – in essentials, unity
In nonessentials, diversity
In all things charity.
Welcome to Sunday in Lourdes. Some of the shops are closed and there is a boisterous quietness in this town. Sunday is being observed. The essentials are actually singular. Sunday Mass is taken seriously here. And how it is celebrated is as diverse as the people who come here. There is the International Mass in the underground Basilica. It comfortably seats somewhere around 30,000 people. The music is fantastic and it is really an experience of the universality of the Church. On the other hand, in many of the churches and chapels, a quieter celebration can also be found. I celebrated Mass in the hotel chapel with about nine people.
"And in all things charity…"
Charity is not only about an organization that does good things. That definition is extremely narrow and recent. Charity is a conviction put into action. It is at the heart of this sacred place. The love of God we celebrate in the Eucharist is the reason why we venerate the Person of Christ in those who come here. And that loving service that is fueled and fired by the love re-presented in the Eucharistic sacrifice.
Some of the shops may be closed on Sunday, but the Ministry of Service doesn't keep a timetable.
So for our group, having celebrated that essential thing together, the diversity of a free afternoon kicked right in. The children and teenagers had a picnic lunch up at the ancient fort in the center of town. Others strolled around enjoying a nicer day than the previous two. I believe ice cream was consumed. I know some definitely took a Sunday reposo. And having prayed and played that day, dinners at cafés and restaurants were plentiful.
Any image of religious practice that is dour or lugubrious is absent from here. Actually, it's contrary to the Gospel. No, in the Easter season especially, in a place like this, religion is a happy thing. Obviously,, life is not always so for many who come here. And that is one of the great wonders of this place. Despite the obvious, this is a place of joy. It always strikes me when you hear the bells of the Basilica in the clinking glasses.
It's not just a good thing. It's a heavenly thing.
I like to think that this joy is one of the three secrets Bernadette was given but never revealed.
Travel the streets of this little town on a Sunday afternoon and it is a revelation.
Being (T)Here Sunday, May 1 2016
Uncategorized 9:00 am
Being there
The first rule of anything important – as well as unimportant – is to actually be there in the first place. We were reminded in the seminary that what we say may not be remembered but that we were there will never be forgotten. I think everybody can agree to this. Our experience is the proof of it.
On Saturday our day began with the three American Malta groups celebrating Mass in the Grotto. At first glance, it was a cold and rainy morning. In fact heading down to the Grotto felt like an early winter's morning. By the time I got there, it was downright freezing. I later found out that people had reported hail earlier in the morning and possibly snow. I got there just in time for the beginning of Mass and then the sun came out. Oh sure, I hear you say, it must've been a glorious celebration. To be honest, in the 9 years I have never experienced such frigid cold and biting wind. And then there was a sprinkling of rain. With the wind whipping through the Grotto vestments were flying and I was shaking and shivering. Mass proceeded with "reverent haste" and being there…well,wasn't this the point of the pilgrimage?
There were two things I hoped to accomplish that morning. The first was to offer the Mass for all those who sent written intentions with me as well as those verbally and vitually commended to me. I have plenty of photos of the "evidence" the petitions were placed in the Grotto. The second goal was to bless a number of religious items such as rosary beads and religious medals. I did that right after communion. Now, they could have been blessed anywhere but there is something particular about doing it here.
It was no easier for the pilgrims attending this Mass. One of them said, while both shaking his head and smiling, that it was very tough. But, he quickly added, he was grateful and privileged to have been there in the first place. And for all these reasons it would be something he would never forget.
How true. Our group gathered after to take one of those grand pictures on the steps of the basillica. You may have seen them before. It's a wonderful reminder that we were here. "We few, we happy few…." The Saint Crispin's Day speech from Henry V comes to mind because being here together will always be a pivot point.
Given the weather conditions, I wimped out. After reflection groups, our group went down for the impressive blessing of the sick during the Eucharistic procession. I mentally made an intention to receive the blessing while in the dry and warm confines of my room. I recall a nap being a part of that.
When evening came, we had one of the great traditions of this pilgrimage. It is called "caregivers night out." This is when the The people who care for those in need are given a night off. For some, it will be the first time in a very long time. Without betraying any confidences or eyewitness accounts, many of them gather in establishments specializing in 'spirittous and refreshing beverages,' I also understand there were singing competitions and the like as well. The older group of the younger pilgrims went for pizza and pasta followed by ice cream. Carbs were the order of the night. We had a great time, assisted by auxiliaries and volunteers, to give them the opportunity to be normal teenagers. OK, really well behaved teenagers! Whether we talked about movies or the pilgrimage the important thing is we were there talking. And eating.
So one of the great blessings of Lourdes is the blessing of being here. Yes, we come in prayer for healing of body and soul as well we should. We also come for the privilege of serving one another in as much as we can. We firmly believe that our service to those in need is an act of worship to our God who identified Himself with those who are hungry, thirsty, naked, sick and in prison (Matthew 25). But receivers and givers have this one sacred thing in common. We are here together.
Many make a great deal of the "ministry of presence" and for the right reasons. It is not just a healthy experience of affirmation or a powerful means of communication. The Christian belief is that being together is something sacred. Christ Himself said there when two or three are gathered in His Name, He is there. I don't think He was referring only to being in church together. I believe He was referring to something more expansive. When we are together in His Name and for the reasons we came here, He is here with us. He walks with us as we walk His way of the cross. He brings us to the Grotto to encounter His Mother who points us back to Him. And He is very much present when we order the ice cream or the crepes and even a round of cold and delicious beers.
Being there is one of those things we can do because that is who we are. In the context of our faith, being there really happens because He already is.

Today was our first full day and it was a lovely one. It began with a meeting with the children and then the footsteps of Saint Bernadette. That involved heading up a rather steep hill to the church where Saint Bernadette was baptized. Along the way, we saw the relatively good sized house she was born followed by the hovel her family moved into when her father's job was outsourced as a result of the first industrial revolution.
The Church of the Sacred Heart, originally St. Peter's, contains the original baptismal font. As usual I lead the group in a renewal of baptismal promises. I then asked one of our older teenage malades to dip the sprinkler in the water of The baptismal font so I could sprinkle of a crowd. He however, decided to do it himself. After much laughter, I told everyone this young man needed an application for the seminary!|
Afterwards, we gathered in a semi circle in front of the church. Since we did not have time to go down to the Grotto we blessed and distributed Rosary beads to the children. I mentioned that St Bernadette had them on the day of the first apparition so they should as well. One young lady was so grateful she wanted to give me a kiss. I told her she should say two rosaries a day for the rest of her life.
We returned to the hotel for lunch. My father and I went up to our rooms and took a nap. The pilgrims had the opportunity to go down to the Baths. Later, our whole group went down to the Notre Dame Chapel to the Mass of the anointing of the sick. It is always a beautiful moment when the sacrament is administered. The individual experiences something very personal along with everyone else. After a few team photos, we headed back for the "reception" and dinner. Everyone lined up in front of the hotel for the candlelight procession. Still tired,my father and I excused ourselves and waited for their return.
As you can see, it was a full day. While everyone looked exhausted, they were clearly happy. That is not unusual. The pilgrimage is intense and it is more than adrenaline that keeps us going. It is not something imposed on us because it is an experience we choose. And this common choice has the immediate effect of joining us together. After a grueling day of religious services, processing all over town , pushing and pulling carts with malades – with everyone slightly jet-lagged – you could expect everyone to be wiped out. No, just go down to the lobby and you'll find Knights and Dames, auxiliaries and volunteers, medical staff and clergy, care givers and malades. You hear laughter and the toasting of glasses. You see smiles and feel the energy.
It reminds you of a college party. And I don't mean that in a negative way. This does not go to the sad extremities of those raucous collegiate gatherings. No, it's the type of atmosphere we find among people who are discovering – and rediscovering – everything in a new way. Spend time with others or go off by yourself – no pressure. Just enjoy.
Because underlying at all, Someone enjoys us being here.
And that is, after all, why we are here.
Just a note here. I'm sorry these updates are coming slowly because I am moving slowly.

Just a quick update… We have all arrived and are completely exhausted. The plane ride went well and we are all settled in. I was a bad boy and went right to bed because I didn't sleep much on the plane.
If you've read my blogs in the past, you know something always goes wrong. Well, this time it was the batteries on my power chair. Wednesday morning proved that the batteries we're on their last legs. I contacted Universal Wheels here and they "just happened" to have my exact batteries in stock. They came and now everything is up and running
It's good to be home with the family… And that includes my father.
Tomorrow I have the footsteps of Saint Bernadette with the kids, the Mass of the anointing of the sick, and the rosary procession.
Catch you later and see you at the Grotto.

Again… Wednesday, Apr 27 2016
Uncategorized 12:50 pm
For the 17th time, my packed bags are on my couch.
Somebody asked me the other day if I am tired of going to Lourdes. Normally, I would laugh and say, "no." But this time I understand the question. It's 17 times to a place so many people hope to visit even just once.
But I'm not alone. Many on this pilgrimage have gone many more times than myself. Some have been going since the beginning more than 30 years ago. Some go more than once or even twice a year. We are bathed in familiarity with the people and places that are the goal of the pilgrimage. There is nothing new.
Or, to put it better, there is no–thing new. The same view, the same buildings, and basically the same shops. The "things" will not be new. Novelty wears off. It's supposed to and it should. It's lovely but bound to be a memory.
Of course, the pilgrims – the malades – are new because most of them have never been to Lourdes before. The situations and conditions which will bring them are always unique. No person, regardless how common the illness they have, Is ever like anyone else's. I'm not speaking medically here because I'm not a doctor. I say that because no person endures the unpleasant situations of life the same. Like reruns in the off-season, it's "new to you." Lourdes is a human spring of ever-flowing human need.
But it is not limited to this particular group of pilgrims. The 'Pilgrims to the Pilgrims' are very much the same. They are not the same people they were the last time they were in Lourdes. All the things we treasure and despise have happened to them as well. For this brief period, in this faraway place, they will give more of themselves than even they expected.
And there is another category. It's probably a lot bigger than you do expect. Actually, if you have read any of these blogs over the years, it won't be a surprise. It's probably the largest group in Lourdes at any given time. Needless to say, I'm in that group. It's the 'malade for the malades '
As time goes on, it's pretty clear few of malades us are ever "former malades." Even those inexplicable cures come back to the "casa de mi mama." There is an attraction that draws us together. And that attraction is not one of strength but of weakness. Please don't get out the purple silks of dramatic affectation at that. As it is said here in the Bronx, "it is what it is." As time goes on, we get older and are not as strong as we used to be. We all look at photos from the past as well as a mirror in the morning.Weakness is not something that happens to us; it is who we are.
And it's OK. And that is why it attracts us. It lures us to cross the ocean when reason would have us stay at home. It draws us to one another not because we can do much but because we can't. In this encounter, we don't find affirmative solutions as much as glimmers of salvation. You can see it at the large gatherings at the international Mass and the blessing of the sick. We are in the presence of God. Our God became weak like us so we could become strong in Him. We go to a cave in our weakness and infirmity to find strength from the One who was born in a cave. His divinity and humanity are well represented in the Grotto. The glorified Mother of God, the Immaculate Conception, meeting the sickly Bernadette under the auspices of the protector of the church, St. Joseph. It's Christmas all over again.
And who tires of Christmas?
See you at the airport.
Novena – Day 9 Tuesday, Apr 26 2016

9th Day : The Assumption & Coronation of Mary
Intention : Inter-religious Dialogue
As Mary was linked to the Passion of her Son, so also is she linked to His Resurrection. Let us not look among the death for her who is living. She has entered into the Kingdom.
Every person is called to enter into the Kingdom. On the Last Day, it is on love that we will be judged whatever our religion may have been. This is why we shall pray for relations between religions. That each of them may inspire love in those who follow them, and that agreement and never war may reign.
Recite one decade of the Rosary.
LORD, You prepared Mary to be the Mother of your Son. By her Immaculate Conception, You protected her from sin, from all the wounds of sin. This is why She had the strength to say "yes" in faith, from the Annunciation to the Cross. What you realized in Mary, Lord, is admirable. We give you thanks.
In Lourdes, Lord, you prepared Bernadette to be a witness to the apparitions of the Virgin Mary. In the transparency of her heart, in her humility and courage, she thwarted all the tricks of the evil one. What you realized in Bernadette, Lord, is admirable. We give you thanks.
In these days before our pilgrimage Lord, prepare us to receive the grace of this pilgrimage.
That we may be ready to receive Your word, of which Mary is the echo;
Ready to be reconciled with You and with our neighbors, close or distant;
Ready to experience this Church event in fraternal communion, prayer and service. May Mary guide us to the Grotto of Massabielle, so that, on our return, we too may say with her "The Lord has done great things for us".

Gay man commits suicide after losing lawsuit against police for his arrest when he exposed his backsideBy Mason White 2:25 PM January 1, 2017
|Will X Walters
By: Wayne Morin WorldWideWeirdNews.com
A man committed suicide after he was overwhelmed with grief when he lost his lawsuit against police in California.
35-year-old Will X Walters was found dead just days after losing his five year long battle with San Diego police.
Walters was arrested in 2011, for wearing his custom-made gladiator outfit, which cost $1,000, at a gay pride event in Balboa Park.
Walters claimed that he was covered up properly, and that he was wearing a Calvin Klein thong underneath the costume.
However, police officers asked him to cover up, saying that when he was walking, his backside was being exposed.
After Walters refused to change, officers gave him a citation for public nudity. When Walters refused to sign the citation, he was arrested.
Walters sued the police department for discrimination, saying that he was not nude as his buttocks and genitalia were fully covered, but he lost that case.
Walters said that he was having a hard time getting a job due to his arrest.
Walters then filed a lawsuit against police for violating his civil rights when they discriminated against him due to his sexual orientation.
"Will Walters is a Hispanic, gay man, who is the only person in the history of the City of San Diego to be arrested and booked on a charge of public nudity," his complaint stated.
However, after fighting the case for five years and spending $1 million on his legal fees, Walters lost his case. A few days later, police found him dead in his apartment.

The Presbyterian Church in America, of which our church is a part, is a confessional church. As a church in the Presbyterian and Reformed tradition, the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Shorter and Larger Catechisms are the official testimony of our faith. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and is the highest authority in our lives and the sole norm for faith and practice. Though subordinate in authority to the Word of God, we hold that the Westminster Standards are an accurate summary of biblical teaching. To read the Westminster Confession of Faith in its entirety, please go here. The following is a brief statement of what we believe.
We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God's displeasure, except by His mercy.
We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.
We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.
We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

LBJ in 1969. Credit: Wiki Commons.This quoting of the opinions of some famous people on the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson contains evaluations after his death in 1973 and my attempts at a scholarly evaluation twenty years later. Its purpose is to try to dilute the casual and even thoughtless remarks about this period of leadership that appear routinely ("Vietnam!"), and not too thoughtfully, in today's lesser publications.

Cafe or truffle?
Thank you all for answering my previous post on which bag to get!
I'm with NANAZ, Truffle!
Another vote for Truffle!
I vote for truffle. The cafe is to dark IMO.
I agree with Nanaz and Incoralblue!
Truffle is my vote too. I'm not a fan of cafe.
Truffle, too!
Truffle looks so absolutely gorgeous with the GH! Go for it!!
Truffle blends with gold more - tres riche!
I'll be the devil's advocate and vote for Cafe.

Endurance's rotation is 67 RPM.CASE
Get ready to mach up spin with retro thrust.Cooper
It's not possible.CASE
No, it's necessary.Cooper
What I love about Interstellar is that it's a story about ordinary men, doing the impossible, out of necessity.
If we're honest with ourselves, we can all identify areas where we've failed to do what's necessary, precisely because it seemed impossible at the time.
Elon Musk said, "If something is important enough, even if the odds are against you, you should still do it." This from a man who excels at doing the (apparently) impossible because of its (obvious) necessity.
Starting a successful electric car company? Impossible. Yet today Tesla has a bigger market cap than Chrysler.
Starting a successful rocket company? Impossible. Yet SpaceX regularly lifts cargo to the International Space Station.
Establishing a self-sustaining human colony on Mars. Impossible? Just give him time.
Making the human race multi-planetary (as Elon is doing) or literally saving humanity (as Matthew McConaughey does in Interstellar) certainly qualifies as "important enough" to do against all odds. What else crosses that threshold of "important enough"?
…is ending mass killings in America important enough?
…is educating 67 million girls important enough?
…is ending sex trafficking important enough?
…is ending hunger and childhood malnutrition important enough?
…is becoming a more peaceful and compassionate society important enough?
…is cleaning up carbon pollution to ensure a stable climate for our children important enough?
These are all real problems that you can take real action to help solve today.
They also seem variously very difficult, extremely difficult, or impossible.
But are they really impossible?
Or are they necessary?
Is it necessary that we should fear for our children's lives when they go off to school? Is it necessary that not even our churches are safe anymore?
At one time it probably would have seemed impossible that we would ever get to this point, where mass shootings happen with such regularity.
Yet here we are.
"What can I do about that?" You might say, "I'm just one person. These problems are too big. I can't do anything about it."
"I can't," says Luke Skywalker, trying to raise his X-wing from the bog. "It's too big,"
"Size matters not," says Yoda. "Judge me by my size, do you?" And lifts the X-wing.
Luke saw that it was impossible. Yoda saw that it was necessary.
You have to ask: what's the definition of "impossible"?
Impossible is just something we haven't figured out how to do yet. Before the Wright brothers, flying machines were "impossible". They were something that couldn't be done within the current way of thinking. But they became possible in a new context. It was impossible, then it became necessary, and now we can hardly imagine a world without airplanes.
What's "impossible"? Impossible is nothing.
It happens like this: you're put in a tight spot, and so you do something you previously thought was impossible. You hit the last-minute buzzer shot. You lift one more rep. You stand up under the log, because your team is counting on you.
You prove to yourself you are capable of more than you thought.
So what's impossible for you, really?
What's impossible for us?
Cooper docked with the Endurance because it was necessary. The computer said it was impossible. But humans have a knack for doing the impossible.
Let's do that now.
- Educate 66 million girls (Malala Fund)
- End sex trafficking in Tibet (American Himalayan Foundation)
- Ending childhood hunger and malnutrition (UNICEF USA)
- Ending irresponsible dumping of pollutants into our shared air (Citizen's Climate Lobby)
