Super ART DECO DITMAR URBACH CZECH LOSTRO 'BIRDS' JUG
SPECIAL NOTE TO USA BUYERS :Due to unannounced changes by Ebay, if you wish to continue being offered listings from the UK please ensure you check the 'Worldwide' box in your Search options. The previous default for worldwide is now being replaced with US only, so UK listings will not otherwise appear. (Or just add elestegen to your Favourites List, and be sure not to miss anything with the weekly updates!) As a result I have now set up a USA site for elestegen, so do search all my listings for those extra-special art nouveau and art deco treats! And to UK Buyers - Apologies for the confusion of listing in two currencies, but please note all items are based in the UK . Many thanks to all and hope to see you again soon! On offer... (More pictures and full specification below) This wonderful old art deco jug or pitcher was made by the firm of Ditmar Urbach in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s. The jug has the round-bellied shape, the free-flowing hand-painted decor, the exaggerated styling of the spout and the curlicue handle so typical of Ditmar Urbach. The decoration however is not typical - this is a rare design from Ditmar Urbach - a fabulous frieze of coy birds (geese? flamingos?) peeping out from their wings, in unlikely red, green and blue plumage, runs all the way around the pot. The Ditmar Urbach factory brought out a wide range of these wares in the thirties, most decorated in the folk art designs of the region. This style of jug came in a range of sizes, and this is a medium one, a one litre version marked with the Lostro stamp. For a lovely range of similar Ditmar Urbach pieces, look at the fascinating South Coast Antiques website. Ditmar Urbach The pottery of Ditmar-Urbach AG, in Trnovany , Czechoslovakia , (originally Turn-Teplitz, Bohemia , Austria ) was founded in 1882 by the Urbach brothers and named at that time Bros Urbach . In 1912 it was taken over by the Imperially and Royally Privileged Wilhemsberg Earthenware Factory in Wilhelmsberg, Austria, owned by Richard Lichtenstern, who also owned the Rudolf Ditmar Heirs factory in Znojmo, Czechoslovakia (then Znaim, Moravia, Austria). At some point, the Urbach and Ditmar factories were combined to create one entity. In 1913 the company was bought by Triptis AG in Triptis, but in 1919 Triptis AG was dissolved and the former owner Richard Lichtenstern bought back the company. Lichtenstern maintained ownership, but split the factories to create two companies, Ditmar-Urbach AG and Wilhelmsberger Earthenware Factory Richard Lichtenstern & Co. In 1938 it was confiscated by the Nazis and became Ostmark-Ceramics AG , and the factory was subsequently nationalized in 1945. (With thanks to Ginni's Bohemian and Czech pottery marks website. ) Details, condition, marks and spec... The jug measures 17 cm/6.75" tall by about 18 cm/7" from handle to lip. It weighs 556 gms/1lb 3.6oz unwrapped, and I estimate the final packaged weight at 1100 gms. The jug is marked with the stamped Registered Czechoslovakia Hand-painted, an impressed Lostro and 1 Ltr (1 litre size), and an L. It is in excellent condition, with just a couple of tiny chips on the edge of the base, which are barely noticeable and do not detract. T are no other chips, cracks or other damage at all, and the decoration is in very good order, with just the blue showing some wear, and I suspect some slight restoration of the blue near the top of the handle (see photos). For all information on postage, look for Sue 's Shipping Bits , by clicking on the ' me ' button by the 'elestegen' name under Meet the Seller , at the top of the page. (NB: The International prices below are based on shipping costs to anyw in the USA or Australia ; Europe would be cheaper. The figures include insurance up to the value of $68/£34.) And finally... This lovely antique Czechoslovakian jug or pitcher is decorated in a most unusual 'ring of birds' desig...

Hi, I posted this in the triathlon forum but I don't think that forum gets much traffic, so I'm asking my question here
There is a person selling an Abici Time Machine locally for $1150, full dura ace, everything in very good condition. I was wondering if you guys have any inputs on it? So far from all my research it seems like a good deal. I think the msrp is ~$3k
Does anybody here have any experiences with Abici?
This is my first TT bike, is the Abici a good starting choice or should I go with something else? Also does anybody have the official site for Abici? Abicibikes.com isn't working. Thank you much

Unfortunately, in the West Buddhism seems to have landed in the religious department, even in the self-help or self-improvement department, and clearly it's in the trendy meditation department. I would like to challenge the popular definition of Buddhist meditation.
Many people think meditation has something to do with relaxation, with watching the sunset or watching the waves at the beach. Charming phrases like "letting go" and "being carefree" come to mind. From a Buddhist point of view, meditation is slightly more than that.
First, I think we need to talk about the real context of Buddhist meditation. This is referred to as the view, meditation and action; taken together, these constitute quite a skillful way of understanding the path. Even though we may not use such expressions in everyday life, if we think about it, we always act according to a certain view, meditation and action.
When you have a clear understanding of these four seals as the ground of your practice, you will feel comfortable no matter what happens to you. As long as you have these four as your view, nothing can go wrong. Whoever holds these four, in their heart, or in their head, and contemplates them, is a Buddhist. There is no need for such a person even to be called a Buddhist. He or she is by definition a follower of the Buddha.

Well, long is a relative term. I'm heading up to Santa Rosa, CA for a 100K/5500' metric this Saturday. Haven't done a ride that long on my single this year and haven't really ridden the single that much. This is a "Solidarity Ride" to commemorate Volagi's court sort-of-victory over "evil" Specialized. I may be the only one doing a meager 100K, but the Century has 8000' of climbing, more than I want to hazard until I figure out this single bike climbing thing. Even at only 100K, however, pie or facsimile thereof will be in the offing.
The weather looks good and the countryside is pleasant. Hope everyone has an enjoyable ride planned for this weekend.

A volunteer firefighter has been suspended from the Newport Fire Department after authorities say he constructed a homemade device that exploded.
According to information from the Newport Police Department, Town Manager Dick Casey asked they investigate an incident at the fire department from June 14 and 16 that was reported as an explosive device being set off at the station.
Authorities say a volunteer firefighter with the department constructed a device with household items that resulted in an overpressure rupture of the vessel it was constructed in. The device was not incendiary in nature and it was made of common household items and chemicals.
No injuries or damage resulted in the incident.
The Newport Police Department conferred with the Carteret District Attorney�s Office and then declined to prosecute.
The Interim Fire Chief Kane Johnson and Interim Town Manager Tim White have suspended the volunteer firefighter from the department.

Release Date: Friday, November 09 2012, 05:38 PM
A 54-year-old British man appeared in the Sydney Central Local court today, after being extradited from Thailand on 26 October 2012.
The man's extradition follows his arrest by Thai police in 2008 in relation to a provisional arrest warrant issued by Australian authorities. For the past four years, he has been remanded in a Bangkok Remand Centre contesting the extradition proceedings.
The man fled to Thailand after a two-year AFP investigation that spanned three continents and culminated in the arrest of 15 people and the dismantling of a criminal syndicate involved in the global production and distribution of narcotics.
The highly-sensitive investigation – unprecedented in its complexity and multi-jurisdictional coordination – required more than 250 officers from law enforcement agencies in Australia, The Netherlands, Pakistan and Thailand to combine efforts to crack the sophisticated syndicate which had been responsible for the global distribution of hundreds of kilograms of drugs.
The man has been charged with a total of 20 serious offences including:
The maximum penalty applicable for these offences is life imprisonment and/or an $825,000 fine.

How to Knit the Knit Stitch
There are only two basic stitches in knitting. One is Knit, and the other is Purl. Learning how to knit both of these, will allow you to knit any instructions, for anything knit. While it might feel awkward knitting at this stage, if you take it slowly you will soon gain speed. Also read Cast On Stitches and Cast Off Stitches. Understand that knitting is not limited to making things to wear. There are many other things to make, for fun, to be played with or to give to the kids, or all ages!
1Hold the needle with the cast-on stitches in your left hand and the other needle in your right hand.
2Push the tip of the right needle into the first loop on the left needle, so that the right needle crosses behind the needle.
3Make sure the yarn lies in the back of your needles.
4Hold the yarn nice and tight and wrap it around the tip of the right needle, counterclockwise, so that it sits in between the two needles.
5Start to gently pull the tip of the right needle back through the first loop towards you, bringing the yarn with it.
6Slowly pull the right needle all the way through then bring the right needle up, so that it's on top of the left needle. Don't pull too hard or you will pull the needle right out.
7Carefully pull the new loop on the right needle to the tip of the left needle and let the old loop slide off. Keep the yarn taut after each stitch, so that the loops are close to the needle but not so hard that you can't slide the needle into them.
8Notice that the first knit stitch is now on the right needle. Knit all the cast-on stitches in the same way.
9Know that when all the stitches are on your right needle, you have finished your first row of knitting.
10Hold the needle that has all the stitches in your left hand. You are now ready to start knitting your second row in exactly the same way as the first.
11Knit the knit stitch row after row produces what is otherwise known as the garter stitch.
12Show off your work.
Community Q&A
How do I knit stitch the "TW1"?
How do I knit three together?
How do you knit so that the knit stitch is on one side and the purl is on the other?
How many stitches to take for a waist with 46 inches, front and back?
How do I get 9 purl stitches from one knit stitch?
- You'll soon find that the movements flow into each other as you get used to it and begin to pick up speed.
- This method is knitting for right-handed people. Left-handed people might have some trouble knitting like this. Try reading Knit Left Handed.
- Try not to cast on too tight. If you do it'll be hard to grab the stitch.
- Practice practice practice!! Once you get an understanding of it you will be able to adjust how you hold the wool in your right hand so you won't have to take you hand all the way off the needle when knitting, but simply flick it around the end with your pointer finger. This will make it easier and quicker!
- Don't use any worsted weight yarn with small needles. It will be hard when you pull the loop that you made through the stitch.
Things You'll Need
- A large pair of knitting needles
- A smooth, large weight pure wool yarn

More than one thousand people showed up Saturday morning 9/25 to start picking up trash on the coastline. Keep Wakulla County Beautiful volunteers teamed up with the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge to clean up a larger area in the annual Coastal Cleanup.
Executive Director of Keep Wakulla County Beautiful hopes this day of collection will become more of a lifestyle for local residents.
"We're hoping that by reaching the children and reaching those parents that they go out and are environmetal stewards and really learn what
one person can do in a single day if you are joining a group," said Erica Morse, Executive Director of Keep Wakulla County Beautiful.
Last year the group collected several tons of trash at the Wakulla collection sites alone, and they are hoping to do more this year.
Adult volunteers remember when there wasn't a clean up.
"When I was growing up they didn't have these recycling programs and didn't have a lot of clean up programs and a lot of trash was just piled up when I was a kid and I noticed it and hated it.. it's really important to instill in the kids these days the importance of keeping the environment clean," said David McInnes.
That is why many Wakulla parents brought their children out to the clean up.. and the kids enjoyed it too.

When asking questions on SO that involve Xcode code-snippets, the syntax is to use a #, which makes the code look like it's inside a comment. For example this Xcode standard snippet for looping through an array of objects:
for (<#type *object#> in <#collection#>) {
or this custom-made snippet:
UILabel *<#labelName#> = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(<#x#>, <#y#>,<#width#>, <#height#>)];
On Stack Overflow all code after the first # will look like its commented out. An example on this bug is shown in this question I have asked on SO about code snippets. More on Xcode snippets here

BERKELEY - Earl Robinson, a two-sport star at Cal in the 1950s who played both basketball and baseball for the Golden Bears, will receive the Pete Newell Career Achievement Award during a halftime ceremony when Cal hosts UC Santa Barbara Dec. 19 in the second annual Pete Newell Classic.
The contest honors the legacy of Cal's Hall of Fame basketball coach Pete Newell and the contributions he made to University of California basketball. The Career Achievement Award is presented to a Cal men's basketball alumnus who has distinguished himself in his career accomplishments, upholding the highest ideals of Coach Newell and the University of California.
Robinson clearly fits that description, having earned selection to the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame and the Pac-10 Hall of Honor since his days wearing Blue and Gold.
A 6-1 guard on the hardwood, Robinson played under Newell and helped Cal to conference titles in 1956, '57 and '58, earning a spot on the All-Coast team twice and the All-Pacific Coast Conference squad three times. The last two teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament and reached the West Regional final. The '58 team nearly advanced the Final Four, only to lose to an Elgin Baylor-led Seattle team in overtime.
Robinson was voted Cal's Most Inspirational Player as a senior in 1958 when he also served as team captain. He had his best statistical season during his junior campaign when he contributed 12.1 ppg, and he finished his career with 882 points, which ranked among the school's all-time top five at the time.
Robinson, whose college roommate was Golden Bear legend Joe Kapp, was also a standout on the baseball diamond, where he earned All-America honors as a shortstop. During Cal's run to the 1957 NCAA championship, he paced the Bears with a .352 batting average. Because of his relationship with Kapp - the Bears' quarterback - Robinson was also a Cal yell leader during the 1957 football season.
Robinson signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the spring of 1958 when the National League organization first moved to the West Coast. In an era before sports agents, Robinson relied on the services of Cal law professor Adrian Kragen to negotiate a better deal with the Dodgers, and his $75,000 signing bonus was a record sum for a black baseball prospect at the time. Robinson made his Major League debut as a rookie third baseman in 1958, then was traded to the Baltimore Orioles before the 1961 season, where he converted to the outfield. He remained with the organization through 1964 and played in the Chicago Cubs' organization in 1965. Robinson finished his career with a .268 batting average.
During the winters of 1963-65, Robinson returned to Cal as an assistant basketball coach. Upon retiring from baseball, he became head basketball coach at Merritt College in Oakland for the 1966-67 season - the first African-American head basketball coach in the California junior college system. A year later, he moved to Laney College, where his team finished with a 19-8 record. He rejoined his alma mater as freshman basketball coach in the fall of 1968.
Robinson later taught speech and communications classes at Laney College and was credited with helping Rickey Henderson craft his well-received speech for the baseball Hall of Fame ceremonies in 2010. He is now a part-time professor at Laney
In addition, Robinson also worked with the Oakland A's in the 1980s as director of special projects under team president Roy Eisenhardt and the Haas family's club ownership, and spent time as an English teacher at Oakland's Castlemont High School. He is a former vice president for the Board of Trustees with the Oakland Zoo and served three years on the Board of Directors for the California Alumni Association.
Robinson was inducted into the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame in 1988 and into the Pac-10 Hall of Honor in 2010.
Robinson credits three members of the Cal community as being among the most influential people he has met in his life - Newell, Rene Herrerias (Newell's assistant coach and Cal head coach from 1961-68) and Dr. Bob Albo (a Cal Hall of Famer and Robinson's mentor and doctor for more than 50 years).
Last year, the Bears hosted Kansas in the first Pete Newell Classic, and Al Buch received the Career Achievement Award.
Tickets for the Dec. 19 Cal-UCSB are on sale through the tickets link at CalBears.com or by calling the Cal Athletic Ticket Office at (800) GO BEARS. The contest tips off at 7:30 p.m. from Haas Pavilion.
About Pete Newell
Pete Newell served as Cal's basketball coach from 1954-60, guiding the Bears to the 1959 NCAA Championship and a national runner-up finish in 1960, the same season he was voted the national coach of the year. Cal also reached the NCAA regional final in 1957 and '58 under his leadership. Overall, he led the Bears to four consecutive conference titles (1957-60) while compiling a 119-44 record. Newell coached the 1960 U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal at the Rome Olympics and later served as Cal's Director of Athletics from 1960-68.
Newell was inducted into the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame a year later. The entire 1960 Olympic team, which included former Golden Bear Darrall Imhoff in addition to Newell as head coach, was enshrined into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2010. Newell also earned entry into the FIBA International Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009.
Newell, who was born on Aug. 31, 1915, passed away on Nov. 17, 2008.

Ajay Devgn has been enjoying an eventful 2010 so far. He started off the year well with Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge, followed it up with Raajneeti and then celebrated most with the mega success of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. Even Aakrosh, which wasn't a box office, saw critical acclaim coming its way as well as that of Ajay's.
With both commercial as well as critical success that Ajay has been enjoying on a consistent basis, doesn't he ever get a scare factor that all of this could just be too good to be true? Is there ever a sense somewhere at the back of the mind that there could possibly be an interruption just round the corner?
"No, such things don't scare me. This is not the first time when I am seeing multiple films releasing in a single year and turning out to be successful", says Ajay who would next be seen in Golmaal 3.
With the film releasing this Diwali and then his live-animation affair Toonpur Ka Superhero being the next on the anvil, Ajay has his hands full in the coming months.
"I hope that my next two films this year work as well", says Ajay who has already started work on Tez, "Yes, the going has been good so far. I am very positive about the work that I do and never feel insecure."
Well, one looks forward to how his positive attitude spills over his next few outings like Rascals, Power and Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji as well. While Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji is more or less complete, Rascals is going on floors soon while Tez is already in progress. Come 2011 and Ajay would be participating in the shooting schedule of Power pretty soon.
Doesn't he feel that after six releases in 2010 and a new born baby already at home, he could well be resting for a while.
Sighs Ajay, "Yeah, I know. Mujhe bhi lagta hai ki bahaut kaam ho gaya. Main bhi thak gaya hoon. But then when something really interesting comes in, it is so tempting for me to refuse. Perhaps from 2012 onwards, I would pick up lesser films."
Meanwhile, rest assured that he would well be enjoying another packed year in 2011.

LAS VEGAS — They were happily married and unhappily American.
Six months ago, Jerad and Amanda Miller left home in Indiana on a cross-country road trip with their two cats to start a new life alongside the endless neon enticements of Las Vegas.
Amanda Miller, 22, had a part-time job at Hobby Lobby; Jerad Miller, 31, dressed up as comic-book heroes like Thor and Captain America for tips from tourists. He would often dress as Batman or the Joker; she would sometimes accompany him dressed as the villain Harley Quinn.
Jerad Miller had attended Kennewick High for one semester in 1999 and had racked up several convictions in Washington state more than a decade ago.

On Sunday, Jerad and Amanda Miller's young marriage ended in a barrage of gunfire after the couple, shouting messages of anti-government revolution, ambushed and executed two policemen in an eastern Las Vegas pizzeria and, minutes later, killed another man in a nearby Wal-Mart who had tried to stop their rampage.
Then, as officers closed in, police said Amanda Miller turned her gun on her husband and shot him several times, fatally, before putting the gun to her own head and pulling the trigger.
The couple had stayed with a friend until about 5:45 a.m. that day, when Jerad Miller brought out swastikas and an Army insignia and said: "I'm going to put one of those on every cop we kill," neighbor Kelly Fielder told the Los Angeles Times on Monday.
"I should have called the cops," Fielder said. "I feel I have the deaths of five people on my shoulders. The signs were there."
Officers Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31, were killed as they sat eating lunch at CiCi's Pizza at about 11:20 a.m. Sunday. Officials said the suspects entered through the rear of the restaurant and opened fire.
Jerad Miller, 31, then covered the officers with a symbolic Gadsden flag — a yellow banner with a coiled snake above the words, "Don't Tread on Me" — and placed a manifesto with a swastika symbol on one officer's body, according to police officials speaking at a morning news conference. The flag, which dates from the American Revolution, has been adopted by some ultraconservative and libertarian groups.
Amid the pandemonium, Joseph Wilcox, 31, who had been in the checkout line, approached Jerad Miller brandishing a weapon, police said. Amanda Miller pulled a pistol out of her purse and fatally shot him in the midsection, the police said.
"He died attempting to protect others," Sheriff Douglas Gillespie said of Wilcox.
Police officers soon entered the Wal-Mart and, after several exchanges of gunfire, surrounded the Millers in the back of the store. Amanda Miller had been shot, the police said, and Jerad Miller used items from the store to build a makeshift wall to give them cover. Before a SWAT team arrived, however, Amanda Miller fired several shots at her husband, killing him, then shot herself.
"We believe this is an isolated act," said Kevin McMahill, an assistant sheriff with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. But, he added, "There is no doubt that the suspects have some apparent ideology that's along the lines of militia and white supremacists," including the belief that law enforcement was the "oppressor."
The Millers arrived in Las Vegas about four months ago, according to Larry Burnette, a neighbor at the Oak Tree Apartments where they all lived.
When the Millers learned of the recent standoff between federal officials and Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy, whose defiance of federal grazing fees became a lightning rod for armed libertarians amid media reports earlier this year, the couple traveled to the site, Burnette said.
"At first he was OK, then the Bundy Ranch thing happened and things changed," Burnette said. "Him and his wife went out there carrying guns. I tried to tell them not to go, but they were so against the police. They wanted the cops to go away and leave the Bundys alone."
Fielder said the Millers moved in with her about three weeks before the rampage "because they said they wanted the government to find their apartment intact."
McMahill said that the police believe the Millers may have moved in with Fielder in recent weeks because their own apartment had become unsanitary.
Fielder, 42, said she met the couple when she moved into the apartment complex in April. "They were my next-door neighbors," she said, adding that she took to Amanda Miller, whom she called a "beautiful young girl from the countryside. Her grandmother owned horses."
She said Jerad Miller was hateful, especially toward people with liberal politics.
"He was angry at the government. He was hellaciously mad at [President] Obama and anyone who was on food stamps. She was a good girl who would do anything to make her man happy. But he was not a nice person. No, not at all."
She said that she considered kicking them out, but that she liked Amanda: "What am I going to do? They were friends of mine."
During the standoff at the Bundy ranch, the trio drove to Bunkerville, Nev., for three days, Fielder said. "I slept in the front of their trucks, and they slept in the back. After a few days, I said I had to go home. I had my own drama in my own life."
They were back at the apartment complex a few days later.
"He got kicked off because he was a felon," Fielder said. "Jerad was really upset. They said he was a felon and couldn't own guns. He told me he was on-call as a militiaman there."
Jerad Miller, 31, was convicted of felony vehicle theft, phone harassment, driving under the influence and malicious mischief, between 2001 and 2003, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Court records released Monday by Benton County District Court detailed some of his offenses. They included taking a car that belonged to a friend's parents in 2001 and driving in it to a grocery store where he stole beer.
A citation for assault in 2002 shows that Jerad Miller was living at the Richland home where he had taken the car from the year before. By then he was working at a J.C. Penney department store.
In late 2002, he made harassing telephone calls to an unidentified victim, saying, "Your son is a dead man, Cliff you are going to die," a complaint said.
Several of the offenses garnered Jerad Miller yearlong sentences, with all but a few days suspended.
On his Facebook page, Jerad Miller said that he attended Kennewick High School. He posted several pictures of the Bible and of Elvis Presley, as well as pictures of a gold-plated semiautomatic gun that belonged to the singer and was on display at an Elvis museum in Las Vegas.
In his news feed, he shared an anti-government cartoon that pokes fun at domestic spying and drones, and wrote in the caption, "Do you think anyone recognizes the nation D.C. hath made?"
A note on the page dated June 7 — one day before the attack — said: "The dawn of a new day. May all of our coming sacrifices be worth it."
Amanda Miller's father said Monday he begged his daughter not to marry the man who was obsessed with far-right-wing movements like Patriot Nation.
"She was my sunshine and now she's gone, and I just don't think that I'll be able to get over it," said Todd Woodruff, 48, of Lafayette, Ind. "That son of a bitch took my sunshine. He ought to be glad he's dead or else I'm chasing him down."
A 2011 Facebook post revealed a darker side of Amanda, in which she warned that "the people of the world" are "lucky I can't kill you now but remember one day I will get you because one day all hell will break loose and I'll be standing in the middle of it with a shotgun in one hand and a pistol in the other."
Woodruff said he last spoke to his daughter Friday, after an exchange of online messages.
"I talked to her Friday for the first time in about a month and she seemed happy and fine and everything," he said. "And then the police show up at 7 o'clock this morning and told us what happened."

Earlier this year, The Catholic University of America saw its lawsuit against the HHS mandate tossed out of court by a federal judge because the Obama administration had not finalized it at that point. But now that the rule is finalized, it is decision time for the faithful Catholic college as to whether or not to renew the fight in court.
The Washington Times reports that CUA is currently deciding whether to reintroduce their lawsuit. Georgetown University recently announced they would comply withthe HHS mandate. The USCCB has, however, soundly rejected the Administration's "compromise."
"It still does not not sufficiently take into account our religious objection," Larry Morris, general counsel for the university told The Washington Times. "We're certainly significant facilitators" of birth control if they accept the mandate.
CUA president John Garvey has been one of the most outspoken and courageous voices in the fight against the HHS mandate including penning numerous opinion pieces in newspapers and testifying on Capitol Hill for the cause of religious freedom.
The Administration's finalized mandate attempts to put what's been called a "fig leaf" on the government coercion by stating that employees receive contraception, sterilization procedures and abortifacients directly from the insurers and not from the employer.
Time is short and a decision must be made, Morris told the newspaper. "It sure is crunch time," he reportedly said. The mandate goes into effect next year.
Over 60 lawsuits have challenged the contraceptive mandate and while many of them were dismissed on procedural grounds, there have been some gratifying victories including Hobby Lobby's victory last week when a federal judge temporarily exempted them from the mandate precisely because it violated the owners' religious beliefs.

Enjoy this indulgent dessert on occasion. One serving goes a long way on chocolate flavor.
* Nutrition information is estimated based on the ingredients and cooking instructions as described in each recipe and is intended to be used for informational purposes only. Please note that nutrition details may vary based on methods of preparation, origin and freshness of ingredients used.
This is the perfect cake for one or two people, since the receipe is just one layer, and it is delicious all by itself. Does not need iceing at all.
As suggested I put strawberries on top w/cool whip and I substituted the bittersweet chocolate for semi sweet chocolate. It was wonderful.
This is a perfectly simple chocolate cake. I sprinkled a bit of powdered sugar on it and garnished it with fresh strawberries--it looked gorgeous, was easy to make, and tasted great. I also served it with some whipped cream on the side, which complimented the strong chocolate flavor well.
