Ever dreamed of working alongside a dolphin trainer or going behind-the-scenes in National Aquarium's rain forest? What about experiencing extreme adventures in Australia or having the opportunity to name the Aquarium's baby loggerhead sea turtle? Better yet, what about getting up close and personal with the sharks of the Blacktip Reef exhibit, set to open in summer 2013? This holiday season, National Aquarium will give away these once-in-a-lifetime Amazing Experiences.
How To Enter:
Five Great Ways to be Automatically Entered to Win:
- Purchase any full price ticket for a December visit

Five lucky winners will be selected to win one of these Amazing Experiences. One winner per day will be announced from December 17 – December 21 on www.facebook.com/NationalAquarium and through the Aquarium's e-newsletter, Aquamail.
The Prizes:
- Go Behind the Scenes with the Dolphins: To get any closer, you would actually have to be an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin! The lucky winner of this amazing experience will go on a private meet and greet with the Aquarium's dolphins, tour the dolphin area, see how National Aquarium staff prepare their food, check out the dolphin's extensive toy collection, and learn behind the scenes secrets from the trainers. The winner will get to work with the trainer during a training session, learn how to communicate with the dolphins, and participate in enrichment and play activities!
- Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes – The Extreme Experience: On this personal guided tour with the Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes curator, the winner and three guests will get the full behind-the-scenes tour of this incredible exhibit, up close encounters with National Aquarium's most popular animals, participate in feedings, and see areas of Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes not usually seen by guests.
- Meet the Animals of Blacktip Reef:The winner and three guests will go on a "hard-hat tour" behind the scenes of the construction of Blacktip Reef, and be among the first to meet the Aquarium's newest additions currently being cared for before the exhibit opens in summer 2013. This amazing experience includes a tour of the Aquarium's off-site Animal Care Center, including a look at how the Aquarium's salt water is made and tested and a visit to the exhibit fabrication shop, where coral for Blacktip Reef is currently being made.
- Experience the Rain Forest like Never Before: There is only one rain forest in Maryland, and it is at National Aquarium, Baltimore. One lucky winner will help care for this unique habitat side-by-side with the Upland Tropical Rain Forest staff for a morning. The winner will go behind the scenes and learn what it takes to care for the diverse and extraordinary animals and plant, prepare food and feed the exhibit's 15 species of birds, learn about and tend to a wide range of tropical plants, including a cacao tree – where chocolate comes from, meet and feed the golden lion tamarin monkeys, and help care for poison dart frogs.
- Name National Aquarium's Baby Loggerhead Sea Turtle: The baby loggerhead sea turtles that are a part of the National Aquarium, Washington, DC's loggerhead sea turtle early rehabilitation program are adorable! Through this program, sea turtle hatchlings spend time in aquariums where they can safely grow before being released back to the ocean. The winner of this amazing experience will give the newest turtle, arriving in December 2012, a head start towards success with a name to carry him (or her) into the future! The winner and up to three guests will get to have a private meet and greet with the turtle, and once on display, the turtle tank will feature a sign with the turtle's name and the winner's name.

One of the saddest stories reported in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy was that of Glenda Moore, the mother whose two sons were literally swept away by flood waters and found drowned. Several reports claimed that Moore asked fellow Staten Island residents for help, only to be turned away. Today, there was a funeral for 2-year-old Brandon Moore and 4-year-old Connor Moore, and according to DNA Info, thousands of people lined the streets outside St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn, and:
The service was packed with hundreds of city sanitation workers, there to support the boys' dad who was at work for the department when the tragedy happened.
The children were buried side by side in a single white coffin.

Wow, it's starting to seem like all of you official Orthodox have suddenly visited Constantinople. Impressive.
Wasn't there a priest in your jurisdiction who wanted to use plastic spoons for the communion? I remember that well.
I'm not putting your "bishop" in quotes, though he deserves them.
Funny thing! That's not my problem. You don't care enough to follow the Old Calendar Church of Greece, decrying them as schismatics. Not my issue.
You ALREADY commented on it. However, I would love to see you find that article. I didn't know you read Greek, BTW. Something tells me this will be the last we hear from you on the matter of this article.
That didn't stop you from demanding me to ask them from my "Bishop", as you say.
The difference is that the Church recognized them as such; unlike your "liturgies of St Tikhon and St Gregory". Your Archdiocese did.
Fair enough. Still, that would be our liturgy, not yours.
Those came out of the Tridentine reform too? Wow. You learn something new every day.
No you don't. You can read what the Russian Holy Synod said and compare it your history.
1. Of course not. There are those united with Rome on the Old Calendar.Fixed quote with edit in original post - Cleveland, GM
2. Ecumenism IS the abuse.
No, it really doesn't matter to me. After it was already done I had little interest in what the EP does.
In principle, you are correct, which is part of why I have nothing to do with your Church. However, in practice, they are still keeping up appearances in many parts.And since you like large letters how come you missed this? "But it should be noted that an unprecedented action took place between Benedict XVI and Bartholomew on November 30: they exchanged the sign of peace during the divine liturgy. In the past, this gesture between the pope and the patriarch always took place outside of the celebration."
If the above excerpt is true, then the Great Schism has ended and Orthodox and Catholics have unified on a Hierarchial level and the mission is to sell the unification to the unsuspecting laity. Not sure what the above has to do with Western-Rite Orthodoxy.
Thus liturgy has gotten named after the saint in the 1970's, he has nothing to do with it. For starters this liturgy denies the ever virginity of Mary simply refering to her as 'Blessed Mary".
It was also a service meant for those that deny the real Prescense, and even with the Orthodox interpolations and added epiklesis, this aspect of denying the actual body and blood still comes through.
"We beseech thee also so to direct and dispose the hearts of ALL CHRISTIAN RULERS, that they may truly and impartially administer justice, to the punishment of wickedness and vice and to the maintenance of thy TRUE RELIGION. Give grace o heavenly Father to all bishops and OTHER ministers... ( WRV has interpolated the names of the patriarch and bishop after the phrase, "OTHER MINISTERS"). Even before this verse the reference to "Universal Church' taken in context (which i havent quoted), is intended for those that understand the church as part of the branch theory. From an Orthodox pov this prayer is very awkward.
Later on in the Prayer of Thanksgiving, it says this: "...And that we are very members INCORPORATE in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people...." (these branch theorists dont even want to use the word 'baptised into' and substitute 'incorporate', regardless we can see the theological errors which alludes to the branch theory in this phrase)
In the consecration we see that this liturgy was originally for those that denied the real prescense:
After the words of institution are read they end with the phrase, "in remembrance of me" (as the protestants understand it as seen in the previous quote).
This liturgy (if it can be called that) is not theologically correct nor is it pre-schism...
Amen. There are enough translations of the Sarum for them to adopt. They are purposely ignoring the real Western Orthodox tradition to defend their father, Thomas Cranmer.
The denial is here...: "....for that thou, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption; who made there (by his one oblation of himself once offered) a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious the death and sacrifice, until his coming again".
The Eucharist, according to Orthodox Church teaching, is a perpetual sacrifice; somewhat different from the Roman teaching, but far removed from the idea that the Eucharist was a memorial meal. Certainly the text does not outright say that; it would have permanently cemented the divisions between the Anglicans as to whether they believed in the real presence.
The one that looks *Orthodox* is kind of obvious.
In other words, are they saying that these rites are not the Western rites of the old Orthodox West? Or are they saying that they are, even while having to admit the reality? I answer the latter in the affirmative.
"At the turn of the ccntury, the only Orthodox bishop in North America, the later Russian Patriarch Tikhon (Belavin) was approached by a group of Episcopalians, who asked to be allowed to continue the use of the American Book of Common Prayer rather than the Byzantine rite. Bishop Tikhon petitioned the Holy Synod of Moscow and a commission of theologians was directed to provide a detailed examination and revision of the Prayer Book to be approved for the converts...."
Two things are clear: 1) The ancient Orthodox ritual of the West was NOT either of the liturgies mentioned. (Proof? See Fr Paul Schneirla's statement).
2) The above and others will continue freely to present it as such, and dishonestly.
Its no secret that the WRV has its critics especially amongst the episcopal ranks. The Liturgy of St Tikhon will always recieve the most critcism because its simply not Orthodox, I'm not the first to point this out nor the last.
The Body of Christ is made of baptised christians, both saints and sinners. It is not the "company of all faithful people" it is an exclusive company of baptized people of whom not all are entirely faithful but some are wretched sinners.
Secondly the term "incorporate" is completely false, we are not incorporated into the Body, but through baptism we are the Body.As scripture says, "For by One Spirit we were all baptized into One Body"....(1COR 12.13)"For as many of you have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."(Gal3.27)
^ buzuxi,The only claim you seem to come up with is that the Antiochian WR are using a modified BCP Liturgy called the Liturgy of St. Tikhon. That's not news to us. Please read mine & DavidBryan's answers to your supposed claims that it is heterodox. It is not a heterodox Liturgy.
I WAS just ABOUT to get to that. We have an amazing technique here before us; the old bait-and-switch.My point was that the ritual of the "Liturgy of St Tikhon" (an insult to the memory of the Saint) is so flawed it cannot be fixed with a couple of small points.This was the same point brought up by the Russian Synod in 1904. It's the same point they are ignoring now.At this point, the question turned on my jurisdicition. I'd like them to answer my questions without running behind "oh, well he's not from a canonical Church." To the Antiochians ROCOR was non-canonical a decade ago. Now they are. I am tired of having this argument about the EP's involvement in ecumenism nor Antioch's involvement in ecumenism.From Reply #189 on in this thread, it's been nothing since. And I DOUBT, since none of these men have responded to what I *have* written about the "Liturgy", that it will be about anything else. This cheap excuse is all you have, gentlemen, and a cheap excuse it remains.P.S. My Archbishop is Archbishop John of New York and New Jersey. Please ask him who is in the diptychs. Thank you.
I am in communion with the Orthodox Church, because I am under an Orthodox Bishop. I am not in communion with the EP, or Metropolitan Philip, et cetera. But I don't believe I am outside the Orthodox Church. You do. That's not my problem. It is yours. I believe unconverted Anglicans in the AWRV are outside of the Orthodox Church. That's also not my problem. It is also yours.And those "long gone" liturgies are already resurrected and being used in "canonical Churches" (except the AWRV). The problem is now that the AWRV no longer wants to use them, preferring the Protestant liturgies instead.
Your argumets are wrong, Read the Liturgy in context. This Liturgy defames the name of St Tikhon
Here are references to the branch theory from this Liturgy:"We beseech thee also so to direct and dispose the hearts of ALL CHRISTIAN RULERS, that they may truly and impartially administer justice, to the punishment of wickedness and vice and to the maintenance of thy TRUE RELIGION. Give grace o heavenly Father to all bishops and OTHER ministers... ( WRV has interpolated the names of the patriarch and bishop after the phrase, "OTHER MINISTERS"). Even before this verse the reference to "Universal Church' taken in context (which i havent quoted), is intended for those that understand the church as part of the branch theory. From an Orthodox pov this prayer is very awkward. Later on in the Prayer of Thanksgiving, it says this: "...And that we are very members INCORPORATE in the mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people...." (these branch theorists dont even want to use the word 'baptised into' and substitute 'incorporate', regardless we can see the theological errors which alludes to the branch theory in this phrase)In the consecration we see that this liturgy was originally for those that denied the real prescense: "...Who by His own oblation of Himself once offered, made a full perfect and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in His Holy Gospel command us to continue A PERPETUAL MEMORY OF THAT HIS PRECIOUS DEATH AND SACRIFICE UNTIL HIS COMING AGAIN."After the words if institution are read they end with the phrase, "in remembrance of me" (as the protestants understand it as seen in the previous quote). The prayer continues: "...According to thy institution of thy dearly beloved Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, we, thy humble servants , do celebrate and make here before thy Divine Majesty, with these thy holy gifts, which we now offer unto thee, thy memorial the Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, His mighty ressurection, and glorious ressurection"... (the Orthodox epiclesis added after this).This liturgy (if it can be called that) is not theologically correct nor is it pre-schism unless the pre-schism Church denied the real prescense of the Eucharist and never used Theotokos or "ever-Virgin or even "Virgin Mary' to describe Christ's mother.here is a link to this service:http://orthodoxanglican.net/downloads/tikhon.PDF"
Read the observations on the BCP: they state they were made at the request of St. Tikhon, and to whom they were to be delievered.http://anglicanhistory.org/alcuin/tract12.html
No one denies that the Liturgy of St Tikhon is mainly a product of the influence of Thoman Cranmer -who denied the real prescense. In one of the links, Bishop Kallistos Ware points this out as does another canonical clergy who also rejects this liturgy in its entirety. None of this is new, no matter how much you think it is, most bishops of our Church reject this protestant rite service. My SF, an OCA monk rejects it as does his bishop., as do most in the GOA. You can be in denial all you want and listen to the lies of Antioch that somehow St Tikhon created this liturgy (even though both ROCOR and the OCA reject this assumption).
A number of Muslims often say, that I know more about Islam than any Muslim, and can't understand why I'm not. That being said, according to Islamic law, I can not give a decision under the shariah, as I am not Muslim.
How we got into this is you have made a number of claims about heresy, schism, etc...and I've yet to see evidence that the Orthodox should pay any more attention to your opinions on this than we do those under Rome, the Protestants, etc. You seem to forget:
For starters your repeated contention that St. Tikhon had nothing to do with it is belied by the metion of him sending for instruction to the Holy Synod, and sending the observations to him.
This will be in the running for one of the longest, if not the longest of all, posts I've written. Forgive the length, as it's addressed both to buzuxi and to Suaiden.Bull. She is blessed, is she not? This simply does not refer to her ever-virginity, one way or another. The East had a sort of "liturgical reaction" to many things that were challenged there that weren't ever challenged in the West (the divinity of Christ, icons, the ever-virginity of Mary). Consequently our eastern liturgies stress those theological points much more often and much more explicitly than the Roman and British rites ever have ("Christ our God," for example, is said over and over in our liturgies while it's not a phrase of like prominence in the western liturgies -- surely you're not saying that they therefore deny the divinity of Christ, are you??)....More bull. Prove it. Christ Himself told us to do this "in memory" of Him, but we know memory to be more participatory than a simple memorial meal. It seems you want there to be some low-church, non-sacramental meaning in the WR liturgies' phraseology so that you can reject it outright, but you have no cause to do so legitimately....Quote the context. "Other ministers" could be priests, deacons, bishops, etc. "Universal Church" may have been "intended" for certain groups several hundred years ago, but now it means "the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church": the Orthodox Church. We've taken something and confessed it with the correct meaning behind it. Not a problem now."
If we've been baptized into Christ, we've been incorporated into His body, become members of it (Eph. 4:25; 5:30). You're grasping at straws and semantics, sir. Your case is very shaky. Our faith is not based on a one-to-one word/definition equivalent. Your treating it as though it were is almost insulting to anyone who can say the same thing with different words.... And now it's for those who don't, those who can understand those (biblical) terms correctly.... I couldn't care less how some protestants understand those words; what I am so grateful for is that my Western Rite brethren understand them correctly."
You've offered no substantial evidence as to it's theological incorrectness. As to it's being pre-schism, well, you're right; it was understood from the start to be an adaptation of the 1928 BCP. St. Tikhon knew this. It was never an attempt to use the Sarum Rite.
I will insert this here, though: As much as I support the AWRV (and I'm a reader in the OCA), I would prefer to see the use of the Sarum Rite, as I think it is naturally more compatible with the pre-schism British use. I think the ROCOR has the better idea. That having been said, though, I don't think the AWRV is wrong, heretical, heterodox or anything else for using the Rite of St. Tikhon, just that they're using something that isn't as "home grown" as Sarum is. St. Tikhon's Mass was compiled, largely, outside our communion, but it's not something I'm uncomfortable in the slightest with praying, theologically or liturgically speaking.
Libel. Prove this is their motive.
Glad you can at least admit what I boldfaced. As to the Orthodox teaching, Christ was offered once for all, period. Christ is not eternally or perpetually sacrificed. His one sacrifice is made imminently present at every Eucharist, but He is not "being crucified anew" or "still being crucified" when this happens.
To you. The synod of Russia disagreed with you several times over, as does the synod of the AOAA.
As to whether or not they're trying to pass of St. Tikhon's Mass as an old western Orthodox mass, first you say the following:
Wrong, as I showed above.It will receive criticism because there will (I fear) always be people who squirm at the reality of vast liturgical diversity within the Church from its earliest days. Lectionaries, fasting rules, prayer rules, Eucharists, vestment styles, chant styles, rubrics, etc...all this has varied wildly throughout Christendom; it's only relatively recently that such a liturgical standardization has been the norm. It most certainly is not a sine qua non of genuine Orthodoxy.
Thanks for the link. ...I maybe wrong, but I think the Russians knew what they were doing. They spoke with the Anglicans long enough to know it's errors. And I'm sure they knew about the different groups within it...Thus, I have faith in the Russian edited edition, and it should be interpreted the way the Russians understood it....So when reading the Russian edited version, Thomas Cranmer should be ignored.
Suaiden,Why the belligerent tone?
I don't know if my tone comes off as belligerent, but I apologize if it does.
Suaiden what would you consider belligerent behavior?
Trying to have a discussion with someone who doesn't want to because they are preoccupied with 107 monks in Esphigmenou, Mt Athos, who are now surrounded by police and who has already told you they are concerned about that on another thread.That's belligerent, sir.
Then why do you even take the time to post on this thread if you're so concerned with doings on another thread? The good thing about internet discussions such as this is that you can reply on your own time. If you're preoccupied with another situation and you just don't want to continue this discussion for a time, then just don't even visit this thread. No one is forcing you to do so.
Well, you just accused the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of being a body of heretics for her support of the Liturgy of St. Tikhon. How is this not belligerent?
Exactly I said the exact same thing but replying is more important. To show the worry the poster shoudn't reply to any of the posts if it is genuine.
Are you judging my intentions, sir?
BTW, when did I ever say what you are saying above?
So long as you use heretical liturgies and insult the memories of Saints with them I will never support the AWRV.

I am not judging your intentions I am just asking why you keep responding to these replies if your response constantly is "I'm more worried about the Monastery situation at the moment" and leaving it at that rather than constantly posting this fact.
Seriously, this is getting stupid. I will not respond further on the matter of my replies (though it sure sounded like you were judging my intentions), I will simply not reply.
You have leveled a charge of heresy which is a serious matter. As is Orthodox Tradition that when someone accuses someone else of heresy they explain in detail why it is heresy or they themselves can face discipline. I would therefore ask that you provide your proof of heretical teachings that exist in the Liturgy of St. Tikhon by Friday, June 6, 2008. If you need more time to put your argument together please PM me and I will be happy to give you an extension. Also considers this a public warning not to cross post into more then one thread. In each of the two active WR threads you placed an announcement about a monastery on Mt. Athos which violates board policy.-ArimetheaLiturgy Section Moderator
(not a pre-schism western liturgy of the Orthodox church of the first 1000 years as Antioch claims).
In protestantism...In Zwingli theology...Zwingli came up with...In Zwingli's '67 conclusions' #18 says...Zwingly taught that infant baptism...
I hope now that the cat is out of the bag that Antioch will no longer market this protestant liturgy as a western liturgy of the Orthodox church of the first thousand years.
This is not what is claimed.Please...PLEASE...ask ANY Western Rite priest if, when reading these words they read them as Zwingly reads them. It does not, I repeat, does NOT matter how other groups read these words! .... Again, just because Zwingly and others misunderstood Christ's phrase "in memory of Me," we should not therefore stop using the phrase "memory." The Eastern Rite Antiochian prayer book uses the word "merits," but doesn't mean it as the Roman Catholics do.... You say "These faithful people who are incorporated are those of all denominations regardless of whether they are baptised or not," yet offer no explicit text from the liturgy that verifies this. You show that Zwingly uses the same biblical terminology (not a bad thing in and of itself) as the liturgy does, but not that the liturgy must therefore be understood as Zwingly says it....Eastern Rite Lutherans in the Ukraine use many of our phrases in their altered liturgy; do they automatically get credit for having an Orthodox understanding of what they're praying? I don't think you'd think so, so it does not follow that Christians who've been baptized and chrismated Orthodox, who pray biblical prayers, should be automatically accused of believing something contrary to what their bishops teach about the sacraments and liturgy.... They aren't doing this. Stop saying they are.
1. Of course not. There are those united with Rome on the Old Calendar.2. Ecumenism IS the abuse.The word "uniate" is inappropriate for general use on OC.net. If you'd like to debate this issue, we have a thread for that:http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php/topic,16194.0.htmlPlease do not use the word again in any other threads (other than the one linked above). - Cleveland, Global Moderator
Really? Is an internet forum now the Church? Do you have the power to "subject me to canonical discipline"? Of course not. I shall oblige this madness, however, because I am not wrong.I have asked for someone to point out how I have said the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese is in heresy; I have been accused of it twice, and no one can cite what I said, because I am innocent of the charge. So would this be called a "robber disciplining"?In the one attempt we've had to demonstrate I said what I didn't, the quote was: "So long as you use heretical liturgies and insult the memories of Saints with them I will never support the AWRV."
Please re-read my post. I never indicate whom you have accused of heresy, rather that you have leveled the charge. PLEASE INDICATE HOW THE LITURGIES USED BY THE AWRV ARE HERETICAL LITURGIES.-ArimetheaLiturgy Section Moderator
I've asked you before to not use the word "Uniate." [/center]Since I figure this error is not purposeful (i.e. you may not have seen the previous warning), you're only going to be "warned" for 3 days. Please don't use the word anymore, unless you're participating in the thread that specifically is discussing the appropriateness of using that word.Thank you for your understanding.- Cleveland, GMYou changed my post? You realize you mangled the English of the second use? You are correct in that I missed that prohibition, but it's a stupid prohibition!Do you know what the title of the Balamaand Statement is? What if someone wanted to post the text of this statement? Would they have to change it???http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/balamand_txt.aspxI used to be a "Greek-Catholic" many years ago. And some people in our own parish used the "forbidden term". I am in awe. So many people historically used this term, you'd have to re-edit them and sink them down the memory hole.
Please do not use the following terms in your discussions as they are considered to be prejorative by other members of this forum:Uniate: please use Eastern Catholic.Monophysite: Please use Oriental Orthodox or Non-Chalcedonian.Obviously, if you are discussing these terms in their true and historical sense then there is no problem using the term. What is being rejected is using this as a label to counter other members of the forum. As always, this does not imply that the board takes a position itself on these positions; this is merely a request to use civilized terminology in dialog on this forum.
I assume I will be banned for the use of the term "Protestant heretic"?
Well, the "U" term is not to be used on OC.net as the current policy stands. However, if you'd like to debate this, please see (and participate in) the following thread: http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php/topic,16194.0.html.
Probably not - really, why be so mean? They're in heresy. They're in schism, too. But there's better and worse ways of saying that - some ways are genteel without subverting the Truth, and some ways beat people over the head (I'm figuring you like the latter style).
It has been repeatedly asked of me to demonstrate that this liturgy is heretical. The easiest and most obvious proof is that unlike the Tridentine liturgy its origin was completely heretical. There are rare smatterings of post-schism Roman texts, but for the most part the liturgy is often ambivalent and often Protestant, as was clearly delineated by the Russian Synod in 1904. For the umpteenth time I refer the reader to what I wrote on the matter, since I will probably be shouted down by "no they didn't" without more than a sentence of reference to the text or an attack on my jurisdiction.
Actually, our esteemed posters ozgeorge and DavidBryan made a very cogent argument for how the Protestant language in the Liturgy of St. Tikhon lends itself well to redefinition in an Orthodox manner such that the language can be accepted by us Orthodox. I haven't yet seen you provide a good response to their rebuttal except to repeat the same old logic that ozgeorge and DavidBryan already refuted. Can you give us something new that you haven't already posted?
Btw, the Sarum rite is technically the Sarum use of the Roman rite. It is also not pre-schism, as it took its form under one of the Norman bishops. It also served as the basis of the Book of Common Prayer.

Idle last week, Auburn coach Gene Chizik and his staff had extra time to scrutinize the Arkansas defense. Given that and the Razorbacks� shortcomings, I would narrow the scope of the offense, reduce the number of decisions that Frazier has to make, and figure out multiple ways to get the ball to Onterio McCalebb.
Shut down by both Mississippi State and LSU, McCalebb is Auburn�s best playmaker, and Arkansas does not tackle with the certainty of the Bulldogs or the Tigers.
Frazier is the wild card. Four straight quarterbacks have looked like world beaters against Arkansas, combining for 107-of-156 passing for 1,451 yards and 12 touchdowns with one interception. But, Louisiana-Monroe�s Kolton Browning, Rutgers� Gary Nova, Alabama�s AJ McCarron and Texas A&M�s Johnny Manziel are not one-game wonders.
McCarron is No. 7 in the NCAA�s pass efficiency rating this week and Manziel is No. 11. Nova is No. 39 and Browning is No. 53.
Frazier, USA Today�s 2010 Offensive High School Player of the Year while at Shiloh Christian in Springdale, completed less than 53 percent of his passes during the first four games. At that point, his passer rating was 119th of 123 eligible players, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
For the year, McCarron, Manziel, Nova and Browning have thrown a total of four interceptions and their teams are a combined 14-3, including ULM�s overtime loss to Auburn and a five-point loss to Baylor. Frazier has suffered seven picks in 89 attempts and his Tigers are 1-3.
After reviewing tape of Auburn�s four games, Frazier said he must go all the way through his reads instead of making a quick decision to run. Chizik says his quarterback must set his feet, make a decision, and throw the ball. Although Wilson is No. 37 in pass efficiency, he, too has made some poor decisions. Both of his interceptions against A&M were easy for Steven Terrell.
Auburn offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler moved to the sideline for the Tigers� fourth game and said he would remain there even though he prefers the isolation of the pressbox.
� � I�ve got a young quarterback out there that, I think, face-to-face contact is critical right now,� he said.
Arkansas� offensive coordinator Paul Petrino is already on the sideline to counsel Wilson.
If Arkansas� secondary was stable, the ideal plan would be to shut down Auburn�s running game, pressure Frazier, and force him to make decisions. But, this week�s patch-work version is likely to include safety Eric Bennett, who missed last week with a leg injury, and first-year players Will Hines and Davyon McKinney at the corners. A redshirt, McKinney was a wide receiver in high school.
If the Razorbacks go after Frazier and don�t get there, Auburn will be sitting pretty for a big play. Auburn as a 10-point favorite is a surprise, particularly since the Tigers� second-leading receiver and primary punt returner, Quan Bray, is suspended for the game.
Considering Arkansas� reliance on the pass and Frazier�s penchant for mistakes, a defensive play of some sort is likely to decide the outcome. Auburn�s defense is more apt to make such a play.

|How to Save Money on Groceries
Like a crock of good sauerkraut or a jar of homemade sourdough starter, thoughts about how to save money on food have been bubbling away in the back of my brain for some months now. With four-buck gas and milk both in the rear view mirror, many of us are tightening our belts, some for the first time.
In a series of posts over the next few weeks, I'll share many hard-hitting, direct "do this" tips about how to save money on groceries. Please know that I know:
- Some tips will fit some circumstances, others won't.
- Some tips will be immediately obvious, some may require contemplation.
- Some tips will be easy, some may be difficult to (ahem) swallow, harder still to make happen.
Please know: I do not intend to tell someone how to live her life, nor do I pretend to understand the challenges and circumstances that guide each person's decisions. Even so, some of my ideas that follow, even to me, sound a little more than 'preachy'. I use stark "do this" language in order to challenge the conventional wisdom, to get us all to think, me included. My own practices are far from perfect, I have much to learn.
Please know: I think the modern food distribution system is a marvel, one that delivers fresh, safe food 99.999% of the time, mitigates the risk of regional food shortages, and provides consumers with many food choices. In many of the money-saving tips that follow, supermarkets sound like the 'enemy'. They're not. But as consumers, we must vote with our dollars and our feet -- and yes, as here, with our voices -- what we want from our stores. Grocers are good marketers, they'll adjust.
Please know: There are many reasons to shop/not to shop at certain stores and certain kinds of stores. I'm concentrating on just three: cost, value and nutrition for the individual household. I recognize that others may well build in other factors: proximity; ownership; selection; labor practices; fair trade; environment; etc. I applaud these personal choices! Still, know that for the purposes of this post, I've elected to not pass judgment on such trade-offs.
Please know: All that aside, if we really want to save money on food, we've got to change our habits. It's that whole rat-in-a-maze business: when the rat follows the same path, it ends up blocked in the same corner, again and again. But when it tries new routes -- hey, jumps the maze entirely -- it finds the cheese. Not that I'm calling any of us 'rats' ;-) ...
Okay, here we go. Take a deep breath and let's settle in for some hard talk about how to save money on groceries. I'm breaking the tips up into several posts over a few weeks.

As the daughter of a woman who grew up poor and remained thrifty to her core even when finances were comfortable, I've spent my life watching food prices. In my 20s, I calculated that a sack of groceries cost about $10. In my 30s, I realized that my morning coffee 'n' bagel ritual was a $1000 a year habit. In my 40s, I watched in horror as the price of a dozen eggs jumped from $.99 to $2.79 and my favorite cottage cheese from $1.78 to $3.35 even if it goes on sale occasionally for $1.99. This year, for the first time, I'm writing about the direction that my internal shopping compass points week in and week out.

Rumor Will Paula Deen Dance On Dancing With The Stars Season 14?
So, who knows how true this rumor is, but, Hollywood Life has an "inside source" that says the producers of Dancing With The Stars have asked professional chef Paula Deen to dance. Interesting note: Paula was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. You can read more below and at the link on Paula.
An insider at the hit ABC show tells HollywoodLife.com producers are seriously considering the 64-year-old cook and host for season 14.
"'DWTS' suits love good stories," our source says. "It's good timing. Paula just confirmed she has diabetes and this could help her a lot."
As far as Paula's age, the higher ups aren't concerned. "Producers love Paula's likability and think it would guarantee she'd be around for a couple weeks, regardless," the insider explains.
What's more, Louis Van Amstel must have heard this news. Last night, he told Showbiz Tonight he wants to dance with Paula. Below is a take from USA Today…
Last night on HLN's Showbiz Tonight, Dancing With the Stars pro Louis Van Amstel said, "I have a good idea, activity is the best thing. If Paula Deen goes on Dancing with the Stars, I would love to have her as my partner and she is going to become an inspiration! How about it?!"
Adding: Here's Louis on Showbiz Tonight…
So, what do you think if this rumor comes true? I think she looks fun and it would be cool to hear her being an advocate of Diabetes on the show! I wish more people would speak up on Diabetes! I can also see her dancing with Louis too…or Tony?
Heidi's Note: Once again I feel compelled to point out the track record of certain websites last season – up and down. Geez – we like hits too, but you don't see us jumping on every single person in the news and say "insiders tell us that….". Seriously, this is starting to look like sites grasping onto every single person to make the news – Tim Tebow, Paula…the list is getting very long. I'm tempted to go back to our posts before the last two seasons and examine just how true alot of this stuff turned out to be. Hey…that's an idea!!
OF COURSE, Louis is all for it since he would love to be back on the show. That's a no brainer and really lends no credence or weight to the story at all.
Maybe Paula will dance, maybe she won't….but I bet the "wish list" the producers have is ten miles long and half of Hollywood is on it. I would like something solid that doesn't just scream convenience.

The Unrelenting Battle over Campaign Finance
Following on the heels of November's gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey, the loss of Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts two weeks ago was a devastating blow to Democratic Party hopes. But it must have been especially devastating to President Obama, who promised an adoring University of Missouri crowd, just before he was elected, that "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." Yet it would appear, judging from the unrelenting commentary and from the president's own behavior last week, that those losses pale in comparison to the government's loss before the Supreme Court two days after the polls closed in Massachusetts. For 11 days now the wailing over the Court's Citizens United decision has not ceased. Indeed, campaign finance regulation, intimately connected to incumbency protection, is a bedrock principle of modern liberalism.
Exhibit A is E.J. Dionne's column today in the Washington Post — his second in a week on the subject. Last week, railing against the "reckless decision by Chief Justice John Roberts's Supreme Court and the greed of the nation's financial barons," he charged the Court with "an astonishing display of judicial arrogance, overreach and unjustified activism" and urged "a new populist‐progressive alliance" to demand "legislation to turn back the Supreme Court's effort to undermine American democracy" — including a bill prohibiting political spending by corporations who hire lobbyists, no less.
Today, however, Dionne has last Wednesday's unseemly episode of Obama rebuking a silent Supreme Court to work with. And, like the immortal Daniel Schorr on yesterday's NPR Sunday Morning, he puts all the blame on Justice Samuel Alito for seeming to mouth, silently, "Not true" when Obama, before all assembled and a watching nation, tendentiously misstated the holding in Citizens United. But Dionne doesn't stop there, of course. No, he thanks Alito. You see, "Alito's inability to restrain himself" brought a long‐ignored truth to the nation: "The Supreme Court is now dominated by a highly politicized conservative majority intent on working its will, even if that means ignoring precedents and the wishes of the elected branches of government." Likening Obama's behavior to President Reagan's writing a 1983 article criticizing Roe v. Wade — I didn't make that up — Dionne chastises conservatives for their double standard: "Reagan had every right to say what he did. But why do conservatives deny the same right to Obama?" Where does one begin?
Turning finally to "the specifics of Obama's indictment," Dionne tries to defend the president's misstatements, but unfortunately the precision ordinarily expected of such a wordsmith seems to have deserted him. Citing Obama's claim that the Court had reversed "a century of law" and also opened "the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations," Dionne writes that "Obama was not simply referring to court precedents but also to the 1907 Tillman Act, which banned corporate money in electoral campaigns." That's not what the Tillman Act did: It banned direct corporate contributions to campaigns. Only in 1947 were independent campaign expenditures by corporations (and unions) banned — and more clearly so only in 1990, which is the ban the Court overturned. Moreover, pace Obama, foreign corporations are still specifically banned from contributing anything of value "in connection with a Federal, State or local election." Thus, in claiming, without more, "that the ruling opens a loophole for domestic corporations under foreign control to make unlimited campaign expenditures," Dionne seems simply to be passing along what he's read or heard from others. Nothing in the Court's opinion warrants that conclusion.
But it's Dionne's larger claim that most demands an answer — that an "activist" Roberts Court, exercising "raw judicial power," is "ignoring precedents and the wishes of the elected branches of government." That's hardly the definition of "activism." That's what the Court should be doing, where it's warranted by the Constitution, whether the Court is defending the rights of blacks to attend unsegregated schools or of gays to sexual freedom or of corporate owners, the shareholders, to engage in political speech through their corporation consistent with their articles of incorporation and by‐laws. The claim that corporations aren't people is a red herring. Corporate owners are people, and their right to speak can take many forms. Fortunately, we have a First Amendment, which protects not only corporate owners but E.J. himself from all but the error of his ways.

With the lockout likely to linger well into October and perhaps into November, trying to preview the season of 30 teams that might not actually have one seems about as worthwhile as raking leaves on a windy day. But I love raking and the wind only makes it last longer. We here at Razzball have you covered, even if you didn't want to be covered. That's love. You'll appreciate it when you're older. Look at it this way, the only way any of this stuff can be disproven is if the season starts. So go ahead, NBA, make me a fibber! I dare you. Until then, consider this fantasy basketball gospel. Don't even bother reading anything else – dem's all lies. From now until the start of the season, we're bringing you the 2011 Fantasy Team Previews, which will focus on each team in order to paint a clearer fantasy picture. Who's starting? Who might surprise you? And who might make you want to hurl yourself off a bridge in a few months. Enjoy! Next up – The Golden State Warriors (Can! You! Diggit!?!)
Gained – Klay Thompson, Jeremy Tyler, Charles Jenkins, Mark Jackson, the D-League's Dakota Wizards
Lost – The innocence of not having Mark Jackson as the team's head coach, Acie Law
Probable position depth –
PG – Stephen Curry, Jeremy Lin, Charles Jenkins, Charlie Bell
SG – Monta Ellis, Klay Thompson
SF – Dorell Wright, Reggie Williams, Al Thornton
PF – David Lee, Louis Amundson, Vladimir Radmanovic
C – Andris Biedrins, Ekpe Udoh, Jeremy Tyler
Surprising Team Fact From Last Season – The Warriors' Margin of Victory was -2.33, meaning they lost each game by an average of 2.3 points. It should also be noted that Golden State was dead last in total FTA/FTM, while they were second only to Minnesota in opponents' FTA/FTM. If only Ellis could have hurled himself into the lane 30 times a game instead of 25, they might have had a shot at the playoffs.
Number of Top 20 Fantasy Players (par 0-1) – 2, Curry, Ellis
Number of Top 50 Fantasy Players (par 1-2) – 3, Lee
Number of Top 75 Fantasy Players (par 2-3) – 4, Wright
Number of Top 100 Fantasy Players (par 3-4) – 0
Number of Top 200 Fantasy Players (par 6-7) – 6, Thompson, Biedrins
3 Concerns Heading Into the Season
1. Are we looking at Curry Favor or Goose Stephen this season?
I don't know what that means. But I do know that the reports of Curry's nagging foot and ankle issues were far worse than the actual injury. He only missed eight games. That's not great, but before I looked it up, I would have guessed he missed twice that (he was a game-time decision about 15 times). When it's all over, he averaged more points, better percentages and the same amount of assists in 2.6 fewer mpg in 2010 than he did as a rookie the season before. If you picked him in the first round, I think you picked him too early. If you picked him in the second round, I'd go ahead and keep on keepin' on.
2. David Lee: discuss.
He averaged 17/10/3 at season's end, but he had tooth chips in his elbow through the new year. His 19/12/4 April averages were closer to fantasy owners expectations on the Warriors' high-octane offense heading into the 2010 season and I tend to think we'll get somewhere in the middle of that from a healthy Lee in 2011. I'd guess 18/11/3 and look to grab him between picks 20 and 30.
3. Remember when An-Bie was a solid fantasy option at center, Gwen Stefani was on her second solo album and 'The Wire' was in its final season? Good times, huh?
Yeah, but those days are over. Don't look at Biedrins until at least the 150th pick.
Rookie Review! – Klay Thompson, Golden State's top pick, would be more exciting on just about any other team. He's a shooter. Pure. Simple. Elegant. That's it. His defense is fair, but not outstanding and he's not particularly athletic. Of all the teams in need of an outside shooter, with underwhelming athleticism and anonymous defense, the Warriors ain't it. That said, if Ellis is traded or there's an injury in the backcourt, he's worth an immediate look. Jeremy Tyler was taken with the 39th overall pick in the draft and is interesting like a Jackson Pollack painting – assuming you see Ekpe Udoh and a bunch of paint splotches when you look at a Pollack. Tyler is the player you get when Udoh has already been drafted. And Udoh should not be drafted. Charles Jenkins was drafted five players after Tyler and I'm pretty sure he owns the low 'n' slow barbecue joint near my house.
Fantasy Disappointment in '11 – Dorell Wright. He went 17/6/3 and shot .430 from the field before the All-Star Break. After it, he cooled a bit to 16/4/2, shooting .409. But Wright was actually worse for most of the season than those averages suggest, if you disregard his bananas January
Biggest Fantasy Contributor in '11 – Monta Ellis. Some people like diced onions on their hotdog, some people like sliced. Others like just ketchup and probably sleep with their cousins. What I'm trying to tell you is I prefer Ellis' production, but if you prefer Stephen Curry a bit more on draft day, that's cool. … And you probably sleep with your cousin.
Deep Sleeper – Klay Thompson. Don't reach to draft him. Bob and weave until the right moment. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee and label this recommendation, Cautious: Klay.

Dogs Uglier This Year: Mugly Replaces Yoda As 2012's World's Ugliest Dog
Mugly, maybe a contraction for more ugly, beat out 28 other contestants to become the World's Ugliest Dog. Like last year's winner, Mugly is a Chinese Crested and from the UK.
The annual contest takes place in Petaluma, California and it sounds incredible. This year's host was
pet psychic animal communicator Sonya Fitzpatrick. Don't worry, she told guests, the 29 contestants aren't offended by the ugly title at all. According to the competition's site:
Contestants are judged for natural ugliness in both pedigree and mutt classes and then those class winners compete for $500 and a trophy. Then the winner of this round goes up against the Ring of Champions—dogs who have claimed the title in past years. This year's Ring of Champions consists of 2002 winner, Rascal, and 2010 winner, Princess Abby.
In addition to $1000, a photoshoot, a VIP stay at the Sheraton Petaluma, and a year's supply of dog treats, Mugly, like the winners to precede him, will "enjoy fame as the World's Ugliest Dog, hitting the talk show circuit [to likely] become a star at local dog events."

Hans Eisele has been working for Liebherr, where he normally spends his time fitting state-of-the-art concrete mixing trucks with mixer drums, for 37 years. Today, however, he is dealing with an "old-timer", a 1977 Liebherr truck mixer.

Jean Luc Godard is an undisputed master of cinema. His innate understanding of form and content rocketed him to the top of the world film scene when his first movie, Breathless, debuted in 1960. For the next five years, Godard's craft grew exponentially, as he deconstructed genre after genre. Many of these films featured his wife at the time, Anna Karina. But by 1966, despite numerous international accolades and a catalogue of work that would make almost any other filmmaker green with professional jealousy, Godard had lost his way. He intended to adapt the American novel Obsession, which would take him back to the subject of a pair of star crossed, crime-bound lovers that he first examined in Breathless. However, Godard was no longer content to tell a simple tale. No, he had bigger aspirations, but no clue of how to achieve them. The result is Pierrot Le Fou.
Jean-Paul Belmondo plays Ferdinand, a bourgeois family man who, on a whim, runs off with the babysitter, Marianne (Anna Karina). They have seemingly no plans, but to make the best of the time they have together. But far from being an idyllic lover's getaway, the trip becomes Godard's mouthpiece for anything and everything he wants to say about life, war, politics, and even his failing relationship with his wife. It's bizarre, disjointed, fearless, and utterly brilliant.
By 1966, Godard had positioned himself as the world's most experimental major director. His films were purposeful deconstructions of cinematic convention that still contained enough hallmarks of their respective genres to appeal to both the intellectual community and larger audiences as well. After the hard-edged science fiction of Alphaville, Godard found himself quickly losing interest in this style of working. When he began work on Pierrot Le Fou, he admitted to having no clue what he was doing. "I remember that when I began Pierrot Le Fou, one week before, I was completely panicked. I didn't know what I should do," he would recount later. This feeling of panic, combined with a desire to shed old habits, led Godard to try new methods of improvisation and innovation.
An interesting, and seemingly unrelated, element pops up for the first time in Pierrot Le Fou. Specifically, Godard's fascination with and anger over the Vietnam War, a theme that would engulf subsequent works like Weekend and in many ways prompt his move towards radical Communist filmmaking. Here, the indictment is less pervasive, although none the less scathing for it. While the war is mentioned at several points, there is one scene in particular where Ferdinand and Marianne put on a pantomime show that lambastes and condemns the war. It's both funny and sad at the same time. The atmosphere of the absurd is heightened by several American onlookers who comment, "Hey, hey! That's pretty good," completely misunderstanding the implications of what they're watching. In its way, that scene is a more scathing indictment than any of the diatribes Godard would level against the war in later works.
That sequence represents the emancipation of Pierrot Le Fou. Godard was bidding adieu to more linear narratives, and embracing a more direct cinema, with the emotions right on the screen. Pierrot Le Fou tracked the failing state of his marriage, with his own wife, Anna Karina, in the role of the destructive, fickle woman. It's somewhat amazing that Karina agreed to the role, given the animosity Godard must have been pouring on her personally and professionally. Perhaps it shows the separation Karina had between her work and her personal life that Godard simply couldn't share. It's Marianne who woos Ferdinand away from his wife and family, Marianne who spurs on many of the film's calamities, and Marianne who ultimately dooms the couple.
Pierrot Le Fou is hard to place. It shows a willingness on Godard's part to begin a new phase in his life, both artistically and personally, but contains the detritus of the life he's leaving behind. Karina's presence marks the film as a part of the run that began with Breathless, and the style still has the freewheeling approach he began with that picture, as well as several intentional touchstones to his previous work. He hadn't yet perfected the dense and confrontational approach he would utilize in Weekend, but he was no longer content to be as carefree as had been. Pierrot Le Fou marks a definite turning point in Godard's career, just as it was meant to signify a watershed moment in his life. It's tough as nails, whimsical, inventive, sad, nihilistic, funny, and ultimately great art.
The DVD:
The Criterion Collection once again does justice to Godard's work with this two-disc special edition of Pierrot Le Fou.
The Image:
Criterion presents Pierrot Le Fou in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 in an anamorphically enhanced transfer. Working from a new high definition transfer, Pierrot looks stunning. While the graininess of the 60's film stock is left intact, the colors are free to pop and blossom without bleeding. Pierrot Le Fou is all about color. Look at the reception, awash in solid hues, or Ferdinand's first car ride with Marianne, punctuated by colored lights, interjected at intervals against a solid black background. The transfer also reveals nice details, such as the eyelashes on Karina's face.
The Audio:
Criterion offers a mono French track with English subtitles. The track is serviceable, but not outstanding. Some minor hiss is noticeable, although there's no audible distortion. Given the frequent location filming and handheld style, it's entirely possible that the audio elements simply cannot be made any better than they are here.
The Conclusion:
Pierrot Le Fou marked a turning point in Jean-Luc Godard's work and his life. It's as evocative today as it was in 1966. This release by the Criterion Collection offers an excellent video transfer and a wide variety of supplemental materials that help form a new understanding of the film. For neophytes to the French New Wave, Breathless or Jules et Jim would most assuredly be a better starting point. But for those ready to take the plunge into the darker, headier waters that Godard offers, Pierrot Le Fou is one of his most challenging and rewarding works. Highly Recommended.

I have attended this rally for the past several years and really enjoy it. I was wondering if anyone knows if the "Music for the Minds" festival will be there again this year or another festival?
I have attended this rally for the past several years and really enjoy it. I was wondering if anyone knows if the "Music for the Minds" festival will be there again this year or another festival?
Finger Lakes BMW Club Member
I believe I heard that they will not be double booked this year.
Depending on your point of view - good news vs bad news - the Music Festival will NOT be sharing Indian Head Camp with the Rally in the Poconos this year (9/13 - 15). The Camp's management was not happy with the behavior of that crowd...prolific drug usage was the primary concern.
Of course, the Camp still has the right to book any other group to share the camp with the Rally. However, if that is to happen, it would be a much smaller and more easily managed group.
BUT, the RITP goes on!! If you haven't pre-registered, you still have time!! Go to http://www.blackdiamondbeemers.com/r...os/rally08.htm for more information and to secure a registration form.
Briefly: there was a price increase due to the Camp assessing a major change - pre-reg is $105 and onsite reg is $115.
You will still be guaranteed a bunk in a cabin, 5 hots meals, 24/7 coffee and bug juice, movies, entertainment, door prizes, canoe race and lake time, bonfire and happy hour and a beautiful setting. All you have to do is bring your bedroll and you are set.
If you have a group of 8 or more, we can give you your own cabin (with 8 paid, pre-registrations). If you have more than 8, we can still get you your cabin...
Hope to see you on Friday, 9/13!!!
Thanks and be safe!
President BDB
Will be asking Jodi to put us in cabin#2 again, Darryl had one knee done in March, still waiting to have the other one done in November.
Walking better but hills and stairs still difficult.
p.s Thanks Kenny for posting the info
Thanks for the info, Kenny. For the record, I will not be attending and I'm really bummed! We have a wedding that weekend. (Don't want you to think the price increase is the reason.)
Writing to confirm and notate for any of you folks planning to attend the Black Diamond Beemers RALLY IN THE POCONOS next week.
The MOA ON magazine has a mis-print: that is, the dates in the magazine show the Rally being held on September 12 - 15.
That is INCORRECT!! Please do not show up on 9/12 - the Camp will not let you in.
The CORRECT dates for the Rally in the Poconos are 9/13 (Friday) thru 9/15 (Sunday).
There is NO early arrival - please do not show up on THURSDAY. Again, the Camp will not let you in.
There has been some confusion as a result of the mis-print - I hope this clarifies for you all.
Thanks for "listening"!
The BDB hopes to see you at our Rally!!
President, Black Diamond Beemers

Joyería Piercings Ombligo
As the torso area of the human body is such a large area it is inevitable that any piercing that takes advantage of it is going to be hugely popular, just like a belly button piercing has become. Also known as a navel piercing or simply a belly piercing, they are extremely popular but also one of the most complex types of body modification available.
There has been a stereotype around a belly button piercing, which says that they are often troublesome and always cause problems. This neednt be the case with proper care and attention, because if you care for the piercing for the full duration of the healing time, it should be no different from any other type of piercing.
The Popular Belly Button Piercing Is Here To StayYour new belly button piercing is likely to take a long time to heal, between 6 to 9 months or perhaps even longer, and can take longer than any other piercing to totally heal. This is simply because the area which it is in lacks good blood supply, which naturally slows the healing process.
You may also find that your navel piercing is subject to repeated rubbing and tugging from clothes, which doesnt help matters.
Grab A Piece Of Belly Button Piercing Jewellery TodayWeve got our hands on some great belly button piercing jewellery for all you fans of a great looking navel piercing, and were really happy to be able to share them with you. If youre looking for a standard belly bar, weve got a great selection of colours, but we also have a good range of belly rings and accessories for your bars in order to give your look something a little bit different from the standard silver bar.
Take a great look around and were sure you wont be disappointed.

Techtorial: While Rockstar Games already confirmed GTA V will debut on Xbox 360 and PS3, questions still linger if the game would only be contained on current-gen consoles.
No one said it was current generation exclusive and since it's being released in September, it's not a stretch to imagine it being developed for the PS4 & Xbox Durango/720/Infinite.
I've wondered this since first screenshots surfaced. Bullshots can only accomplish so much. I think all the shots of GTA V are from nect-gen consoles, just like AC4. Guess I'll find out soon. Can't wait.
Have to admit, this is the first time I remember there being multiple games releasing on both current and next-gen systems. AC4, Watchdogs, GTA V (most likely), and others are promising to appear on PS3/360 as well as the next consoles.
Man, there's some money being made in the game industry these days.
Its not a fair comparison. GTA5 is a i8th generation game with better dev. tools. It will be 3-4 years until we see the full power of nextgen console when better dev. tools becomes available.
i think this title is far to big to deny the next gen and it's graphical benefits. First day buy on ps4.
