Mark Williams has become a household name in the world of gymnastics. The Sooner head coach has had success at every level of the sport and was recently inducted as one of the members of the 2015 class into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame, just another testament to the outstanding coaching he has done with the national team and the OU men's gymnastics squad.
With three NCAA Championships already in the books, the University of Oklahoma men's gymnastics program was no stranger to success prior to Williams' arrival. However, Williams has established OU as the nation's elite program with nine national titles in the past 16 years, claiming crowns in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2015, 2016, 2017 and most recently in 2018.
Williams has also made an impact on the international level, most recently serving as the head coach for Team USA at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Williams guided Team USA to a fifth place finish while two members of the team brought home three individual medals.
He also served as the U.S. Men's National Team head coach at the 2014 World Championships in Nanning, China. Williams guided a squad that included former Sooners Jake Dalton and Alex Naddour to a bronze medal, marking the first world team medal as the head coach of the USA national team.
Williams is in the midst of one of his best stretches at Oklahoma. In 2018, OU won a historic fourth consecutive national title and 12th championship overall. The team became the third program in NCAA history to win at least four national championships in a row and tied Penn State for most titles all time. Williams also tied Gene Wettstone for most NCAA titles by a head coach with nine. Yul Moldauer won four individual national championships including the all-around title, tying an NCAA record for most individual national crowns at an NCAA championship. Five OU gymnasts totaled 11 All-America honors
The Sooners finshed with a third consecutive unbeaten season in 2017, their sixth MPSF title in a row and their third straight NCAA Championship. Sophomore Yul Moldauer shined in individual competition. He claimed national titles in floor and still rings, his second and third career national titles. Seven Sooners collected 22 All-America honors at the conclusion of their historic season.
In 2016 the Sooners completed a second straight unbeaten season and capped it with a fifth straight MPSF Conference title and the program's 10th NCAA national title. Colin Van Wicklen won the national title on floor and freshman Yul Moldauer became just the second freshman in NCAA history to win the national title in the all-around. Oklahoma posted four of the nine highest team totals in NCAA history during the regular season and in total, seven Sooners finished the year with 16 All-America honors.
The 2015 Sooners may have been Williams' best squad yet. The Sooners' remarkable run started in the regular season when, in back-to-back meets, they broke the NCAA single-meet team scoring record. Williams would then lead Oklahoma to its fourth consecutive MPSF title, with five Sooners claiming individual conference titles. OU would roll that momentum in the NCAA finals, claiming the ninth national championship in program history. Michael Squires would make it three consecutive national titles on still rings and Michael Reid claimed his first national championship on pommel horse. In total, the Sooners took home 11 All-America honors and Williams was named the 2015 National Coach of the Year.
During OU's unbeated run in 2015 and 2016, the Sooners have recorded eight of the 10 highest team total in NCAA history, including the record of 457.300. OU is the only team in history to top the 450-point mark, having done so five times, all in the last two years.
At the collegiate level in 2014 the Sooners won their 21st conference title, and have now captured the title in 12 of the 15 years during Williams' tenure, including each of the last three seasons. Williams led the Sooners to a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championship, extending OU's active streak of top three finishes at the championships to 14 seasons. The Sooners claimed three of the six event national champions with Michael Squires defending his title on the rings and Alec Robin winning both the floor exercise and vault national championships. Oklahoma picked up nine All-America accolades at the championships and Williams was named West Region Coach of the Year for the third time in as many seasons.
Oklahoma finished the 2010 season as the MPSF champions and third place finishers at the NCAA National Championships. Legendre captured an individual national title on floor. Naddour claimed the pommel national title, while the Sooners earned 11 more All-American honors.
After a second place finish at the NCAA Championships in 2004, Oklahoma won two-straight team titles in 2005 and 2006, marking the second time during Williams' tenure that the team claimed the top spot two seasons in a row.
Upon arrival in Norman in 2000, Williams made an instant impact on the program. The Sooners placed second at the 2001 NCAA Championships before winning back-to-back titles in 2002 and 2003, going 54-1 in the two seasons. Daniel Furney became the first gymnast under Williams to win the coveted Nissen Emery Award in 2003.
"Mark is not only a good coach but a good friend," said Young. "He was able to take a young boy who could not even do the splits and make him into an Olympic silver medalist. One of Mark's strengths as a coach is his ability to unite a team. His dedication to the team is something I respect and aspire toward."
Although Williams has returned gymnastics at OU to the top of the sport, another one of his primary goals as head coach was to revitalize OU's presence on the international gymnastics scene. With Horton at the 2008 Olympic Games and Young at the 2004 Athens Games, Williams has achieved just that.
Outside of coaching on the collegiate level, Williams was on the international scene at the 2008 Summer Beijing Olympics when Horton was selected to represent his country. Horton did his part in leading the underdog U.S. team to a bronze medal, while collecting a individual silver medal on the high bar.

Brooklyn Nets Tickets
Brooklyn Nets Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
2013 Result: 49-33 (4th East seed), lost in Conference Quarterfinals to Chicago The Nets are going for it all this season. The first season of their franchise re-do in Brooklyn went decently well with a 49-win season and a playoff berth, but they also fired coach Avery Johnson midseason and embarrassingly lost in the first round to a weakened Bulls team. But they have just agreed to a huge trade which will bring in Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry from the Celtics in exchange for Kris Humphries, Reggie Evans, Gerald Wallace, Tornike Shengelia, Keith Bogans, Kris Joseph, and three first-round picks. The Nets starting lineup is now Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Brook Lopez, with Andray Blatche and Terry to come off the bench. The entire starting five are All-Star caliber players. Now the question is coaching. Former Net Jason Kidd is the new coach. He was always a strong leader as a player, but making a player coach just weeks after his retirement is nearly unheard of. It's anyone's guess how it'll go over this year with a star-studded roster taking orders from basically another player. But with this roster, it'd be awfully hard to screw it up. The Brooklyn Nets represent the New York City borough of Brooklyn in the Eastern Conference and Atlantic Division of the NBA. The Nets were founded as the New Jersey Americans in 1967 and a season later they relocated to New York, becoming the New York Nets. Soon after joining the NBA in 1976, the Nets once again relocated to New Jersey where they would stay until 2012. The 2012-13 NBA season was the Nets' first season in Brooklyn and the newly built Barclays Center, which also just hosted the 2013 NBA Draft. In their history in the NBA, the Nets have claimed 4 Division titles, 2 Conference titles, but are still waiting for their first Championship and hadn't made the playoffs since 2007 until this year. Some of the greatest players to ever wear the Nets' jersey include Julius Erving, now-coach Jason Kidd, Buck Williams, and Vince Carter.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - After a one-two punch of off-season meniscus surgery, and finding out you have mononucleosis on the first day of preseason, your average student-athlete wouldn't dream of ending that season an All-American. Georgia College & State University junior goalkeeper Mary Rob Plunkett isn't your average student-athlete.
When Plunkett was named Third Team All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, not only did she become the first fall season All-American in the NCAA history of Georgia College athletics, but she also capped a wild season with a special honor.
The Westminster Prep graduate from Augusta, Ga. joined the Bobcats as a freshman in 2007, behind two-year starter Kristen Moore (Newnan, Ga.) on the depth chart. Moore was dotted all over the Georgia College recordbooks as one of the top goalkeepers in program history, but at an imposing 6-foot-1, Plunkett had all of the tools and natural ability to become a top-level netminder.
The opportunity to work with goal-keeper specific coaching day in day and day out at the Georgia College has helped bring out her full potential as a top level goal-keeper.
After taking over the starting job halfway through her rookie year, Plunkett had a breakthrough sophomore season, taking second-team All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) while posting a paltry 0.47 GAA and .886 save percentage along with nine shutouts. The team was 13-3-4, and made a trip to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.
All of this, plus the challenge of a notably tougher schedule in 2009 had Plunkett excited for her junior year. Then came pre-season physical day, where her season came to an abrupt halt.
One month removed from knee surgery, Plunkett had trouble breathing and had an extremely sore throat during the 2-mile run assessment, the first preseason drill. Diagnoses of tonsillitis and strep throat were considered before a positive test for mono was revealed. As a result, Plunkett missed the entire preseason and the first week of classes.
"When I found out, it was tough," said Plunkett. "I kept thinking, 'here's another thing' on top of recovering from surgery. I had to go home to stay with my family, and it felt weird to be missing preseason, to be out of the loop."
"All I could do when I first got back was ride on the stationary bike and do the arm bike. No soccer stuff. Even when I got back on the field, my reps had to be cut way short because I kept getting tired and running out of energy."
Head coach Juan Pablo Favero knew the competitor he had at goalkeeper, but wanted to make sure she focused on the big picture.
"Even when she was not playing, and when she was most sick, she wanted to come out to watch her teammates train and play, and we had to nudge her back to her home to get rest."
The only other goalkeeper on the roster, freshman Taylor Mulryan (Cumming, Ga.) was out with injuries at the time, so All-PBC junior defender Jessica Binkowski (Cumming, Ga.) stepped into the net for the first month. Binkowski had not played as a goalkeeper since her junior year of high school, playing in the State Championship game for Blessed Trinity Catholic School.
"I found out two days before our first game that I'd definitely be the starting keeper," said Binkowski. "Being a goalkeeper is a lot different feeling. At that first game, I'll be honest, I was pretty scared. You're the last thing keeping the other team from scoring. You have no one to cover your back. That's a lot of pressure."
Binkowksi posted shutouts in those first two games, victories over Queens (N.C.) University and Florida Southern College, even earning PBC Goalkeeper of the Week.
Things got a little tougher as the competition level increased, and the 'Cats lost three of the next four games, all at home.
"I remember her telling me how bad she felt about some of our early critical loses and we told her just to focus her energy on getting healthy," said Favero. "Thankfully she did, and together with her teammates their resilient and persevering attitude pulled us through to another third place finish in the Peach Belt and a third trip to the PBC final four."
Plunkett got back on the field to a rousing ovation from her team and the Bobcat fans for the first time Friday, Sept. 11 after halftime against Lincoln Memorial University. It was fireworks night at Bobcat Field, and Plunkett provided some spark of her own, nabbing three shots to preserve the team shutout in a 0-0 nail-biting tie. She played 65 minutes, but probably couldn't have gone a second more.
"It wasn't bad until I got to the sidelines," revealed Plunkett. "Every time there was a break, I could feel my energy go down. I was pounding energy bars and glucose tablets, and we had a special signal I was supposed to give coach when I felt like I couldn't go any more. I didn't feel good, but I felt good enough that I could help the team."
Her first start came two days later against No. 11 Carson-Newman College, shutting them out for the first half with five saves, but she didn't play an entire game until the Sept. 20 2-1 victory over Barry University. From that date on, no team posted more than one goal on the 'Cats for the remainder of the regular season.
"It is scary to think about what could have been if she had not gotten sick, and we would have been at full strength all year," said Favero. "Once she got healthy she had some great performances including the shutout against Flagler where we knew she was finally back making three point-blank saves, as well as the shutout against Columbus State where she made some world class saves to keep the score at 0-0."
A seven-game stretch without a loss ensued, with the goalkeeper's health a large catalyst for that success. Plunkett agrees that that was the start of her full recovery.
"Early on, I had trouble with my aggressiveness, the quick spark to come out on one-on-ones. I could always catch a ball, but I was concerned about my reaction time and recovery time. If I needed to come out, could I get back in time? I needed more confidence in me, to be less timid, and I didn't get that until close to the end of the year."
A 0-0 tie with the defending conference champs and No. 3 team in the nation, nabbing career-high 11 saves was just the ticket.
"The Columbus game was where we upped the competition level. It was the first time I felt I could truly play with no questions asked."
Plunkett was named All-PBC First Team at the end of the regular season, adding first team All-Southeast Region nods from both the Daktronics and NSCAA award programs. She finished her junior campaign with an amazing 0.59 GAA and .896 save percentage. She made 86 saves and posted five shutouts. Her save percentage ranks fourth in the nation, while the GAA puts her 16th.
"She's an imposing figure physically. With her size, she can be quite intimidating for strikers," said goalkeeper coach Chris Davidovicz. "She also has great quickness and footwork for her size. Technically, she's one of the best goalkeepers anywhere."
Plunkett's goals remain team-focused.
"We've got our sights set on a National Championship. It all starts in January with workouts. Personally, I'd love to see us go undefeated. I think we can do it."

The Vatican would like to be a religious concern when it wants to inflict its "moral teachings" on non-Catholics, control Cardinals and Bishops based on church teachings, and not pay taxes. On the other hand, the Vatican would like to be a country when the Pope is named in lawsuits or when they would like to sweep their minions away to the Vatican when they face legal trouble in some country. The Vatican has done a great job of advancing their agenda with this sleight of hand. For those of us with a shred of skepticism, it smacks of a con game. "Heads I win, tails you lose." Since being a religion has never helped the Catholic Church with its depravities, let's force them to just be the little tin-pot country they want to be.
The first thing that has to happen is that the Cardinals, Bishops, and Priests here in the US all need to have their country loyalty questioned. One cannot serve two masters. Are they American citizens subject to US law? If so, then there should be no cover-ups, no hiding behind "church state separation" (where it suits their needs), and no misdirection of the legal system. Those who swear their loyalty to the Pope or god or some other authority should have their US citizenship revoked. If the Vatican wants to issue them passports, that's fine. However, let's be clear: they are guests in our country and subject to our laws. If they violate them, those involved should be prosecuted or deported. If they behave as organized criminals, then subject their institutions to racketeering laws and have their assets seized until they have had a proper trial. With their stonewalling, that could take centuries. So be it. Since their criminal activities run internationally, such as money laundering and sex crimes, then let them be subject to international courts, where needed, to bring them into line.
Tax favoritism of Catholic properties should be stopped immediately. There is no reason why the US Government should be subsidizing foreign governments, especially those that have harmed American children. As a point of comparison, Saddam Hussein never harmed Americans, let alone on our own soil. An objective look at their government activities leads one to the conclusion that they are not a friendly nation. Let their activities be scrutinized by the CIA. Let's stop publishing their press releases in our newspapers. The USA should not be foreskin-whipped by a bunch of child molesters and their enablers.
Just this month, "US" Catholic Bishops have thrown a little tantrum over their "religious freedom." Like frothing Muslims when someone draws a cartoon, they have learned that behaving like bratty children gets media attention. This time, they want the US government to bend US laws so that they can control the reproduction of others. Why, exactly, have we let foreign governments control our nation's hospitals? Why are they holding so many medical ethics board seats? Supreme Court seats? What about the real religious freedom of skeptics not to have to subsidize blatantly criminal organizations?
The Catholic "pro life" stance is just self-serving ploy. Those familiar with the history of the church should be aware of the centuries of torture and genocide it has perpetuated. Remember the Crusades? The Cathars? Witch Burnings? The Inquisition? Auto-da-fé? The rape of the Americas? After its silent assent of the Holocaust ("I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work."), the Catholic Church contrived its pro-life policy out of a sense of survival. An educated Europe turned away from this horrible murderous institution. How will the parasite nation go on? We all know that God will not provide and nothing fails like prayer. Its only means of survival is to get its clutches into the next generation, the poorer and more gullible, the better. Buy low, sell high. Their newfound "value" of human life is strangely proportionate to that life financial value as a potential tither. If the Catholic Church would like to manufacture humans, then let them fund their project themselves. If they will not fund the children they want to create, then they are the abortion murderers, are they not?
It's time to treat the Vatican as a country—one with its own self-interests almost universally at odds with ours. Let's make them stop using Americans and America for their ends. Let's bring the crime ring to justice.

KIEV (Reuters) - Jailed Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko will soon be released in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, where she is being treated in hospital, her daughter signaled on Saturday.
Yevgenia Tymoshenko said she was going to Kharkiv to meet her mother, who was jailed in 2011 for seven years for abuse of office linked to a gas deal and is a bitter rival of President Viktor Yanukovich.
"According to Ukrainian law my mum is already a free person," Yevgenia Tymoshenko told reporters following a vote in parliament to speed up procedures for her release.
A spokeswoman for the former prime minister, 53, said that although the moves in parliament already made her a free woman, Tymoshenko had not yet been released or left the hospital where she is receiving treatment for a back problem.

By Al Saracevic – San Francisco Chronicle
California Chrome owner Steve Coburn went on a full-blown rant after his horse came up short in its bid to win horse racing's Triple Crown.
Up until the Belmont, Coburn had portrayed the image of a lovable eccentric. A man outside the mainstream of horse racing. After his horse came up short against two other horses that had not ran the first two legs of the Triple Crown, Coburn blew a gasket, portraying the image of a sore loser.
Basically, he said horses should have to run all three races — the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont. That is crazy talk in horse racing circles, and Coburn made a fool out of himself in saying so.
Here's the rant:
"I thought he was gaining ground, but he didn't have it in him apparently. You know what, he's been in three…this is his third big race, these other horses, they always set them out. They set them out to try to upset the apple cart. I'm 61 years old and I'll never see in my lifetime, I'll never see another Triple Crown winner because of the way they do this. It's not fair to the horses that have been in the game since Day One.
"I look at it this way, if you can't make enough points to get into the Kentucky Derby, you can't race in the other two races. It's all or nothing. Because this is not fair to these horses that have been running their guts out for these people and for the people that believe in them to have somebody to come up…this is the coward's way out in my opinion, this is the coward's way out.
"Our horse had a target on its back, and everybody else lays out one or they won't run in the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, they'll wait until the Belmont. You know what, if you've got a horse … that earns points to run in the Kentucky Derby, those 20 horses to start the Kentucky are the only 20 available to run in all three races."

California has long had the reputation for being one of the U.S.'s most beautiful and environmentally-conscious states. This week, as leaders in business, government and the environmental movement gather in southern California to discuss sustainability at Fortune Brainstorm GREEN, we're bringing you a series of blogs spotlighting the natural beauty of the California coast — seen through the eyes of photographer and videographer Keith Ellenbogen. Check out his previous post.
Charismatic sea otters (Enhydra lutris) have long been captivating people's attention with their cute gestures, friendly smiles and soft, fluffy fur.
One feature distinguishing otters from seals and sea lions is that sea otters don't have any blubber. They stay warm in the cold seas with a thick coat of fur that has more strands of hair per square centimeter than any other animal.
Sadly, in the early 1900s their fur was so sought after that the species was nearly hunted to extinction. As the number of sea otters declined, the sea urchin population — one of the otters' main food sources — boomed. This rise in sea urchin populations (an animal that eats kelp) caused the kelp forest to decline to a point of real concern.
To capture images of the kelp forests, I descended beneath the surface into the cold 55-degree Fahrenheit (13-degree Celsius) ocean water of Monterey Bay. I felt like a kid in a fairy tale, dwarfed by the scale of this giant seaweed. Giant kelp grow rapidly — up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) a day.
Photographing the kelp was a challenge, as I was swaying back and forth in an undulating motion propelled by the surge of the sea. As I drifted, I looked for images that captured light traveling beneath the canopy, as well as a host of beautiful animals such as nudibranches, unusual crabs and fish.
Kelp forests are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems in the ocean, providing food and shelter for countless marine species. Fortunately, thanks to the collaboration of scientists, governments and conservation organizations working to protect sea otters and restore nature's balance, otters — and their kelp forest home — are making a comeback. While perhaps not yet a perfect success story, this is a testament to the power of collective action — proof that it's not too late to change what's happening to our oceans.
Keith Ellenbogen is a member of the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP). His California assignment was part of a larger effort to document the state of some of the world's most important and vulnerable marine ecosystems — and the people who depend on them — in support of the Ocean Health Index, a new tool for benchmarking global ocean health that will launch later this year.

Post by Nonjatta contributor Stefan of Tokyo Whisky Hub.
Whisky Magazine Japan's Bond #1 was kick-started today with a private tasting at Chotto Bar in Shinjuku's Golden Gai for a handful of members led by none other than maestro Dave Broom. Six whiskies were selected by the hosts to reflect a range of ages and styles and a few more were smuggled in - without any difficulty whatsoever - by the attendees. One of the highlights of the afternoon was a special Karuizawa bottling, which new Bond #1 members will be able to get their hands on at the Tokyo International Bar Show / Whisky Live this weekend ('nuff said): a 1984 ex-sherry, single cask... a wonderfully lush feast of stewed fruit and that subtle, smoky backdrop (bacon fat, smoked scallops, ...) that you often get with the best Karuizawas, which has nothing to do with peat but more with something like cereal ever-so-slightly-burnt. A stellar dram... with the most beautiful legs you're likely to see in Shinjuku's Kabukicho, and that's saying something!
Yours truly smuggled in the Ichiro's Cigar Malt (see my earlier post),
which proved to be a big hit: everyone agreed it was an unbelievably
enticing concoction of sweet and smoky notes, perfectly balanced, and
the general impression among the whisky anoraks when tasted blind was
that it had to have been at least 8 to 10 years old. Not so... If you
haven't picked up a bottle yet, I suggest you do so real soon. I know
some people who will! Another fantastic whisky we were able to taste was
the already legendary "Black Legend" Yamazaki (again, see below for
more information), courtesy of Nicholas Coldicott who put the whole
event together. It was dark as a dungeon but the nose and the palate
were wonderfully elegant, without any of the syrupy and tannic notes
that you sometimes get with (over-)matured ex-sherry whiskies. To quote
one of the other guests: "They did it again!"
To those who weren't there, I say: join Bond #1 and be there next time,
because from what I gathered, this won't be the least treat! There's
much more to come...

British actress Carey Mulligan was constantly shadowed by a security guard on "The Great Gatsby" set because she was draped in diamonds worth millions of dollars for her role as Daisy Buchanan.
The "Drive" star wore luxurious pieces created especially for the movie by jewelers at Tiffany & Co, and executives at the company employed a guard to watch over the actress at all times.
Mulligan insists the security measures were distracting as she was constantly watched, even when she was trying to work.
She tells Britain's Daily Mail, "I would be doing a scene, wearing these fabulous jewels from Tiffany's worth many, many millions. There'd be diamond bracelets on each arm, and diamond earrings, and rings, and strings of pearls around my neck. And I could see this guy in the corner watching me intently, in case I ran off with anything."

WASHINGTON, May 23 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama was the last obstacle to getting the Keystone XL oil pipeline built through the country, the chairman of a House committee said.
The House of Representatives passed the Northern Route Approval Act on a vote of 241-175, largely along party lines. Nineteen Democrats voted in favor of a measure that takes the Keystone XL decision out of the administration's hands.
U.S. Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb., sponsor of the bill, said there's been enough vetting of the project in more than four years and it was time to approve the pipeline.
Keystone XL needs federal approval as a cross-border project.
Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said Obama was the last obstacle to Keystone XL.
"The Northern Route Approval Act makes the Keystone XL pipeline a reality," he said in a floor statement. "It declares that no presidential permit shall be required to approve this pipeline and prevents the Obama administration from imposing further delays."
The president's Office of Management and Budget said Obama would veto the legislation although, with the Senate said to be unlikely to consider such legislation, the White House may not have to resort to a veto.
Supporters of Keystone XL say it would ensure North American independence and create tens of thousands of jobs. Opponents say pipelines are too prone to spills and heavy Canadian crude oil, the type designated for the pipeline, carries too many environmental risks.
Oil Change International, an opponent of the pipeline, reports that members of Congress who supported the act took six times more in campaign contributions from the oil industry than did opponents.

I think these cages are the best. Or you could pay £30 more to save 20g with a more fragile carbon fibre cage.
Arundel call their Sport Bottle Cage 'cheap insurance' and they're right. It may not be the most exotic elegant lightweight bling bottle cage but it does its job perfectly without any fuss, that domestique whose name you can't remember of water bottles.
The Sport cage is the plastic version of the Texan cycle accessoriser's Dave-O cage for a bit more weight and a lot less money. There's not much to say about the Sport cage really: it's cheap enough and it works.
There are two sets of mounting holes, with one of each pair being ovalised to make up for any frame boss misalignment, so you should be able to find your perfect cage position on any bike.
The bottle slips into the wide opening without any fuss, settling home with a reassuring 'tonk' as that top knuckle grips the neck of the bottle and it's just as easy to get out.
In between times the bottle is held in securely by those wrap-round mandibles; the Sport Cage was clattered over cobbles and bounced around on a cyclo-cross bike and there was never any fear of premature ejectulation, and the bottle doesn't buzz or rattle tediously on plain old shabby tarmac either.
That's it job done. Ten quid.
Available in Black, white, red, blue, yellow and pink.
Does its job perfectly without any fuss.

Make and model: Arundel Sport Bottle Cage
Size tested: White
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
The Sport is basically a modified, nylon reinforced plastic version of the carbon Arundel Dave-O. Arundel say they're not trying to make the lightest or the craziest looking of bottle cages but trying to make this thing work exceptionally well and look good doing it. Sport cages weigh only 50 grams and are as tough as nails, the dimensions are such that all brands of bottles will nest securely and still be easy to get to. They consider this cage as good as anything they make; it's just made out of different stuff.
Yeah, it's a bottle cage that does what any bottle cage should do and too many don't.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?

While we've learned to not often be surprised anymore, we do seriously doubt that there is anyone in the Tomahawk area by now who is not aware that the Fourth Street/Veterans Memorial Bridge will be demolished beginning next week and replaced. The process will take nearly a year, during which time North Fourth Street, itself, will also be reconstructed. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that, for the entire community, it will be a major inconvenience, especially in today's rather miserable economic times.
But it will not be a disaster. Think about what other communities have endured and survived: tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, floods, wars. Tomahawk is losing a bridge – its main artery through the city – for a few months. No lives will be lost; no bodies maimed. No homes will be destroyed. Children will not be orphaned. We'll simply have to drive a bit farther to get from one side of town to the other. Perhaps 12 miles roundtrip or less. That's less than millions of Americans – including some here in the Tomahawk area – drive every day to get to and from work!
Yes, it's different than what we're used to. Inconvenient to say the least. But it's not tragic, people! We will get through it, especially if we keep a positive attitude and work together. Certainly, we'll have to plan our trips better. Share a ride with a neighbor or offer to pick something up at the store for someone. Offer assistance or ask for help by placing messages on the Tomahawk Leader website Message Board at www.tomahawkleader.com.
And next year at this time we'll be saying to ourselves, "Look at this beautiful community, made better and stronger by our hardy, thoughtful and energetic neighbors!"
Inconvenient, not tragic
We encourage you to respond to our opinions. We will try to make an editorial or column available for discussion each week.

There always have been those few who have launched diatribes over the dictatorial actions of any given U.S. presidential administration, over civil rights, foreign affairs, the economy, the draft or a dozen other topics – even though the Constitution was written specifically to prevent the collection of too much power by one branch of government.
Now, again, there are words like "egocentric megalomaniac" being ascribed to the White House, and warnings about detention camps and government surveillance of its citizens.
But where previous generations of warnings emanated from lone wolves with their fax machines in dusty spare rooms, the current alarms are being issued by the likes of Investors Business Daily, First Amendment authority Nat Hentoff, New York Times best-selling author Robert Ringer and their equals.
"A second term free of electoral restraints [for Obama] may be a frightening prospect," IBD wrote in a commentary in the last week. "This is, after all, a president who has said he can't wait for Congress to act and will govern by executive order and regulations if necessary. He has questioned the Supreme Court's 'unprecedented' review of Obamacare."
The publication pointed out that the Obama administration already is in contempt of court – in a court dispute over its ban on oil drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
When U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman ruled that the Obama Interior Department unconstitutionally imposed an offshore drilling moratorium, the agency "simply established a second ban that was virtually identical."
"Judge Feldman was not amused. 'Each step the government took following the court's imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance,' Feldman said in his ruling. 'Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the re-imposition of a second moratorium …. provides this court with clear and convincing evidence of its contempt,'" the editorial said.
The issue recently was brought into the headlines by comments from Judge Andrew Napolitano, a Fox News analyst who said, "I think the president is dangerously close to totalitarianism. A few months ago he was saying the Congress doesn't count. The Congress doesn't mean anything. I am going to rule by decree and by administrative regulation. Now he's basically saying the Supreme Court doesn't count. It doesn't matter what they think. They can't review our legislation.
"That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing," Napolitano said.
His comments came after statements from Obama that the U.S. Supreme Court wouldn't take the "unprecedented" action of actually overturning the Obamacare law, even though that is exactly what courts do when justices determine the legislation is unconstitutional.
"I think he [Obama] has some problems with understanding the Constitution, or accepting limitations on his power," said Napolitano. "Look, they're equal branches of government, but with respect to what the law means and what the Constitution means, the court is superior to the president."
His comments came recently on Neil Cavuto's program, when the discussion turned to the U.S. Supreme Court's discussion of the unconstitutionality of Obamacare and Obama's verbal attack on the court shortly after the oral arguments.
Here are Napolitano's comments:
"No president in modern times has questioned [the Supreme Court's] authority. They have questioned the way the authority has been exercised," he said. "Not their right to make the decision.
"This is an extreme view of the Supreme Court and the Constitution, one that has not been articulated since Andrew Jackson was in the White House," he said.
Napolitano is the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of the state of New Jersey. He tried more than 150 jury trials during his time on the bench from 1987 to 1995, including criminal, civil, equity and family cases.
For 11 years, he served as an adjunct professor of constitutional law at Seton Hall Law School, where he provided instruction in constitutional law and jurisprudence. Napolitano returned to private law practice in 1995 and began television broadcasting in the same year.
Other warnings that have been issued:
Erik Rush, a columnist and author of sociopolitical fare, including "Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal – America's Racial Obsession," wrote about the New Black Panthers, and how their "advancing Marxist agenda is being not-so-subtly choreographed from Barack Obama's White House."
"Civil unrest is an Obama administration objective, since it will facilitate crises sufficient for the president to justify suspensions of civil rights. Provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act, Obama's recent National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order, as well as others, have certainly paved the way for such action.
"The question of a fair election in November is also something that deserves our attention. We can take it as given that voter fraud will abound at the hands of ACORN and other like-minded fringe organizations … All of this illustrates the paramount importance of continuing to beat the drum of Obama's communism in unequivocal terms, regardless of the mincing ridicule we will draw from liberals…"
Ringer wrote,"I began warning about Barack Obama's dictatorial ambitions before he even won the 2008 presidential election … Obama's recent contention that it would be 'unprecedented' for the Supreme Court to overrule congressional legislation had dictatorship written all over it.
"I will say yet again what I have been saying for more than three years: If polls indicate that Obama is going to win the upcoming election, no problem. He'll keep flashing that fake Barry Obama grin until Nov. 7, then move swiftly to begin unleashing a dictatorial full monty – consisting of more regulations, higher taxes and less freedom – that will shock all but his staunchest Marxist allies.
"Nothing will be off limits – a national police force, instant citizenship for all Third World people … forced equalization of income (except for Obama's wealthy supporters), widespread use of tax audits to carry out vendettas against enemies … suspension of habeas corpus … and much, much more.
"On the other hand, two or three months before the election, if the polls clearly show that Obama is going to go down in defeat, I believe there's better than a 50-50 chance of a major 'emergency' coincidentally making its appearance, convincingly manufactured in such a way as to cause the average entitlement junkie to agree that we must rally around the president and 'postpone' the November elections."
Craige McMillan, longtime WND commentary author, said, "Why do you think Big Sis needs 20,000 drones patrolling the skies over America and NSA needs a new listening post to read and listen to every personal communication between every American citizen and archive it forever? … Step out of line and the police don't even need a warrant to download your location data and buddy lists from your cell phone. Then they can go around and talk to your pals about your terrorist tendencies."
Nat Henthoff, nationally known authority on the First Amendment,wrote about plans to begin, starting in 2013, for the government to being monitoring and databasing "any form of communication."
He described the new National Security Agency's new Utah center – "more than five times larger than the U.S. Capitol" where "all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cellphone calls and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails – parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases…" will be archived.
"We are not yet a police state. The First Amendment is still functioning … But with the NSA burrowing ceaselessly into our once very private lives, where are the reminders of the Declaration of Independence and its indictments of King George III?"
Mychal Massie, the chairman of the National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives, also is on record."Many say Barack Obama is the most divisive, egocentric megalomaniac ever to hold his office. Others say he is the most ruthless and defiantly determined Marxist-Leninist ever to become president. I say he is, by definition and actions, both.
Vox Day, WND columnist, wrote, "It is becoming increasingly clear that the federal government is completely and utterly out of control, spewing nonsense, issuing irrational threats and stumbling around the world stage like a belligerent drunk with an empty wallet … Americans no longer enjoy the limited government of their forefathers. They suffer from limitless government. TSA is an apt acronym. But it does not stand for the Transportation Security Administration; it stands for the Totalitarian State of America.
As a presidential candidate Obama called for a "national civilian security force" that would be as big and as well-funded as the half-trillion dollar U.S. military. And a study a short time later confirmed that there are several ways to create the suggested "Stability Police Force" so that it legally could operate inside the U.S. borders.
One of the top recommendations in the report from the Rand Corp. was that the capacity and management operations of the U.S. Marshals Service be beefed up and handed the assignment.
The study was released in 2009, only months after Obama made his presidential campaign call for a civilian force as big and as costly as the U.S. military.
In a speech in Colorado Springs, Obama said, "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we set. We've got have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
WND reported when a copy of Obama's Colorado Springs speech posted online apparently was edited to exclude Obama's specific references to the new force.
A video of his statements is posted here:
The opening of the Rand Corp. report was focused on providing "Stability Police Force" services outside of the U.S. borders. A company spokesman told WND that the report focused exclusively on the idea of a structure that could move into war-torn or riot-damaged cities or nations overseas and restore order.
However, a reading of the text of the report makes it clear that similar concerns about the behavior of U.S. residents were being evaluated, too.
It noted that the plans for the $1 billion a year effort would have to be structured carefully so as not to infringe on the Posse Comitatus Act ban on U.S. military operations inside the U.S.
"The discussions … made clear that the MP option would likely not be available for domestic policing. This makes this option [fulltime and reserve, as the hybrid option would not be viable due to the fact that military personnel could not be embedded in civilian domestic law enforcement agencies…] much more expensive."
The report discussed the possibility of creating a new agency inside the Department of Defense but noted, "It is unlikely that a military agency would be permitted to perform domestic policing functions … Because of this, the new agency would likely perform SPF functions better than the MP option due to a better ability to create a policing culture, but worse than the Marshals Service option due to the fact that it could not do policing tasks day-to-day."
The report said the U.S. Secret Service also could be an option: "Much like the Marshals Service, the Secret Service focuses on law enforcement missions within the United States. When not deployed abroad, an SPF housed in the Secret Service could perform a wide range of domestic functions without running into legal barriers."
A company official was unable to explain the study's references to policing in the United States.
The Colorado Springs event wasn't the only time Obama preached of his requirement for a "civilian security" force.
Radio talk show Mark Levin discussed it in a broadcast:
He cited Obama's statement at a dedication ceremony for a facility at the National Defense University.
There, Obama said, "American must also balance and integrate all elements of our national power. We cannot continue to push the burden onto our military alone, nor leave dormant any aspect of the full arsenal of American capability. That's why my administration is committed to renewing diplomacy as a tool of American power and to developing our civilian national security capabilities."
What? Levin said.
"What does that mean? … Is he crazy? … He needs a civilian national security force … just as powerful … as our military?"
"The military has tanks, advanced weapons. What does he mean? … I know what his ideology is. That's why I'm getting nervous…. Will the shirts be brown? Will they be clicking their heels as they walk?"
The Rand report also cited the Special Operations Group, which is headquartered at Camp Beauregard, La.
"It consists of about 100 deputies who respond to emergencies such as natural disasters, civil disturbances, and terrorist incidents and restores order during riots and mob violence. The SOG conducts missions in fugitive apprehension, high-profile prisoner movements, witness security operations, national emergencies and civil disorders. SOG deputies receive specialized tactical training, including crowd control and quelling civil disorder."
The report continued, "During the 2000 World Trade Organization protests in the nation's capitol, SOG teams played a key role in crowd control. They also took responsibility for protecting dignitaries going to and from the conference."
Further, during protests in Puerto Rico, "The SOG was asked by the Navy on six separate occasions to quell disturbances. In calling upon the Marshals Service, the Navy was able to avoid concerns about the Posse Comitatus Act that might have arisen had it undertaken an armed mission in Puerto Rico."
The report said specifically that should such a force be created under the military police division, "relief from the Posse Comitatus Act would be required to permit its members to perform domestic law enforcement functions."
As the presidential campaign advanced in 2008, another video appeared online that for many crystallized their concerns over such a "corps." It shows a squad of young men marching and shouting praises to Obama:
Rand officials said the study looked at the need for "a U.S. Stability Police Force, the major capabilities it would need if created, where in the federal government it would best be headquartered, and how it should be staffed."
The federally funded research was done specifically for the U.S. Army.
The study also said, "Our analysis clearly indicates that the United States needs an SPF or some other way to accomplish the SPF mission."
WND also has reported that U.S. Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., introduced the Universal National Service Act that would require "all persons" from ages 18 to 42 "to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security."
His idea was to authorize "the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes."
Rangel's plan specified that "national service" means "military service or service in a civilian capacity that, as determined by the president, promotes national defense, including national or community service and service related to homeland security."
"It is the obligation of every citizen of the United States, and every other person residing in the United States, who is between the ages 18 and 42 to perform a period of national service as prescribed in this title," it specified.
It would require that the president provide "for the induction" of people to the service corps.
"Except as otherwise provided in this section, the period of national service performed by a person under this title shall be two years," Rangel wrote.
Conscientious objectors would be ordered "to perform national civilian service … as the president may prescribe."
WND also reported when Obama signed into law the "GIVE Act," H.R. 1388, which massively expands the National Service Corporation and allocates to it billions of dollars.
Officials said at that time the law would allow for the "managing" of up to 8 or 9 million people.
That bill included a "National Service Reserve Corps" whose members have completed a "term of national service," "training" and "not less than 10 hours of volunteering each year."
Joseph Farah, founder and editor of WND, used his daily column when the issue originally arose to alert Americans of the plans. He then elevated the issue with a call to all reporters to start asking questions.
"If we're going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn't this rather a big deal?" Farah wrote. "I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military. How is it possible their candidate [at the time] is seeking to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together?
"Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that? If not, why did he say it? What did he mean?" Farah wrote.

So a new 'documentary' is about to be released that 'blows the lid' off the alien cover up conspiracy. It looks like they'll be hitting hard for the free-energy, anti-gravity people. I suggest we sharpen up our skeptic caps for dealing with this flavour of malarkey.
Views: 120
I'm only 15 minutes into the 'documentary' and I can't believe how many magic points they've already struck. This isn't just an alien conspiracy - it's about big oil, the banksters, and all things we love to suspect. They even say you can 'focus your energy' to direct aliens to your location if you want to meet them. Did I mention the ancient aliens tie in?

Any thought that developer Cyanide has jumped on the bandwagon with the Game of Thrones video game should be left at the full stop of this sentence. It's been in production for over three years - long before HBO ever got the rights to make the now hit TV show.
With that comes something both good and bad. The good is the hope that this role-playing game for console and PC might not be total dross, as are many quick buck, franchise-hopping titles. The bad is that, because it makes little reference to Sky Atlantic's big hit, it doesn't quite feel like the Game of Thrones you know and love if you've never read the books. In fact, aside from the title music and the odd familiar face rendered to varying degrees of success, it was easy to forget that it was related at all during our first look at the characters, combat and gameplay.
But it is to the books that this title is very much wedded, so much so, that Cyanide kept very close contact with A Song of Ice and Fire series author George R. R. Martin throughout the processes with feedback for purposes of accuracy at every step of the way. In fact, much of the time was spent checking that the plot of the game would sit true with books as yet to be penned.
As a player you get to control two main characters, both of whom appear in the same chapters of the game at different times coming together as a team only towards the end of the telling. It's very much a linear adventure. No running around in your sandbox, and what sidequests there are are fully fleshed out branches of the main story in their own right.
"We really wanted to get away from 'bring me three bat wings or this mushrooom'," said lead designer Sylvain Sechi at the Central London event.
"It's not an open game. There's no running in forest and getting into random encounters. We think of it like Mass Effect without the planets exploration."
Your first playable character is Mors Westford, a man of the Night's Watch who goes nowhere without his bulldog, which Mors can inhabit much in the same way as Bran appears to be discovering in the HBO show. As the dog, you can scout the dungeons in their various forms, sniff out the scent of NPCs you're trying to find, assassinate heavily armoured knights and get a good hoof in the underbelly when you get it wrong. Your dog will also help you out in combat with abilities all of its own which you can unlock as you level, not least of which is to occupy one of the mobs while you deal with another.
Combat itself, of course, is going to be key to the whole affair. What it resembles most closely is a non-button thrashing version of the Witcher 2 and its redesign for Xbox. Talents, abilities and menus are presented in a very similar circular style that pop up during the action in the middle of the screen when you hold down the relevant button. Again, like the Witcher, calling them up doesn't quite pause the action altogether but just puts it in a very slow motion. Take too long over your decisions and you will start to receive some hefty blows.
It's at this point in the combat, though, where the similarities with CD Projekt Red's top title end. Game of Thrones takes a much more "pen and paper approach", according to Sechi, and its command-based (as opposed to button thrashing) style is more akin to the kind of strategic manner you'd find in games such as Baldurs Gate. Choose and stack the abilities and actions which you would like your characters to invoke - and which targets you would like to invoke them upon - unpause the action and hope it works out okay.
While the theory is simple enough, the sight of it all was fairly confusing in our first-look experience. So close in on the action - the entire game is shot from a third-person view behind the back of your protagonists - there's quite a lot going on on-screen in the thick of the fight. Pop up the menus and it's easy to see how you could lose a battle in all the confusion of trying to plan it. In fairness though, we'll give Cyanide the benefit of the doubt on this one. These things are usually built up slowly throughout a game and we'll trust that, by the time you reach the levels we witnessed, it will all make much more sense.
What we did absolutely love is that armour is very important and the type that each of your enemies is wearing is displayed as an icon next to their health info above their heads. It's then your job to use that knowledge to work out how best to attack them; piercing weapons are not much cop against leather but the slashing of swords will find its weakness, with the opposite true for chain mail. You get the picture, and it makes the whole thing much more a puzzle than hammering away and hoping to bash and dodge a path to glory.
Of course, it's not all about swords and daggers. This is a fantasy game after all and magic does feature, although, like Game of Thrones, it's handled with a light touch. While Mors is the fighter, it's the second playable character, Alester Sarwyck, that gets to dabble in the darker arts. Alester is a Red Priest returning to his home of Riverspring 15 years after turning his back on becoming the lord of house and only news of his father dying has brought him back. Through veteran ranger of Castle Black, Mors, you get little opportunity to play through any of the political intrigue for which Game of Thrones is so well known - the Wall is a very long way from King's Landing - but Alester's journey, we're told, is the one where you get to scratch that itch.
Taking up the calling of the Lord of the Light, Alester is more your rogue-come-mage. There are three paths to choose from when making his character choices - an Archer, a Sellsword (all-round fighter with one-hand weapons) or a Water Dancer (a kind of ambidextrous small-sword fighter). Along with these styles, Alester can use oils and magics to create Wildfire, poisons and a host of area of effect attacks. Word to the wise: Wildfire is a kind of napalm-type blaze and it will propagate even to your character if you get too close to one of your burning victims.
The good news is that, if you like the sound of more than one of the character paths, you do get a chance to dual-class later in the game if you fancy yourself as an Archer/Water Dancer - but do beware that doing so will most likely leave the very top abilities of each tree out of your reach. With a maximum of just 15 levels possible throughout the game, the only way to access those is by specialising.
On Mors's side, you have to select which kind of fighter you'd like to be as well. This time the decision is between Landed Knight, Hedge Knight or Magnar which roughly translated equate to defensive sword and shield specialist, two-handed weapon wielder or dual weapons with maximum damage but light armour. Magnar all the way, right?
There are only five character attributes to play with but one very intriguing idea is that you can pick innate strengths from quite a long list - such as Natural Leader, Brute Strength, Gifted and Leach - but the trade off is that, for every one of these you pick, you also have to choose a weakness. Of course, you don't have to pick any at all but where's the fun in that?
The whole adventure should last somewhere between 25-40 hours of gameplay and if you're wondering whether there's any sex to go along with violence and politics for which Game of Thrones is so popular, then the answer is, well, some, yes. While there's no actual romance or - how should we put it - full-frontal shagging, there are two chapters set in bordellos, each featuring some tremendous side-boob. It's a 15 certificate, not an 18 but we should imagine it just about does the trick.
First Impressions
It's a horrible thing to say, especially given that this was a first-look preview with no hands-on time, but gut instincts are gut instincts and we're just not excited about this game. The developers are obviously incredibly passionate about what they've done and you just can't fault their approach, their research or their enthusiasm but there's little either graphically or in the gameplay that get us hot in the way that great RPGs should.
What might change our mind is the plot. The Cyanide team has made a seemingly good job of the conversation trees and decision making. There are multiple paths through each chat and you cannot go back to explore more than one of them. Better still, your choices may mean little at the time but will go on to have very profound effects many chapters later. Teamed with the rich universe of the Song of Ice and Fire universe, it's this that might just see the game through.
Game of Thrones will be out on Xbox, PS3 and PC in June 2012.

The following is a general guideline for Catholic Funerals – families should consult with their Parish Pastor before making any decisions in respect to the funeral liturgy for their loved one.
Scripture Readings for Funeral Liturgies
Prayers of the Faithful (sample intercessions)
Liturgical Funeral Roles
- Placing of the Pall
- Cross Bearer
- Readers
- Gift Bearers
Vigil Prayers
Funeral Mass
Eulogy (Words of Remembrance)
Symbolic Elements (Easter Candle, Holy Water, Incense, Funeral Pall)
Please click on the following links to learn more
Select one reading from among the Old Testament Readings (A1 – A9)
Select one reading from among the New Testament Letters and Writings (B1 – B24)
Select one reading from among the Gospel Readings (C1 - C24)
Prayers of the Faithful (sample)
Note: Your priest or parish may have intercessions they prefer to be used.
The Response is "Lord, hear our prayer":
(Raise right hand to invite people to repeat the response…)
R: Lord, hear our prayer.
The placing of the pall is a most tender moment in the funeral Mass. When the casket enters the church, the priest sprinkles it with holy water. Then a large white cloth, the pall, may be placed upon it in silence. The rubrics permit this gesture "if it is the custom."
The pall has two meanings, both deriving from the New Testament. First, the pall recalls the baptismal garment. At baptism Catholics each receive a white garment as a sign of their Christian dignity.
Second, the pall signifies equality. The letter of James (2:1–9) discourages favoritism. It challenges people who form judgments based on how someone is dressed. The funeral pall clothes every deceased Christian in the same garment.
The pall may be placed on the casket by family, friends, or the priest.
Many parishes will ask the family to provide a family member or a friend to carry the large cross during the procession and perhaps at the recessional as well. Due to the weight and height of the cross someone who is able to carry the cross with respect and care should be selected for this role.
Members of the family may be invited to read the scripture readings. Usually the church will ask the family to provide one reader for the Vigil Prayer Service and two readers for the funeral mass (confirm this with the presiding priest).
The word of God is of great importance in the funeral rite. The readings proclaim the meaning that Christ himself gave to death, teach us to remember the dead, nourish our hope of being gathered together again in God's kingdom, and encourage us to live the Christian life. Above all, the readings tell of God's design for a world in which suffering and death will be destroyed. In the readings all present have an opportunity to hear God speak to them in their needs, sorrows, fears and hopes.
At the funeral liturgy the biblical readings may not be replaced by non-biblical ones. But during prayer services with the family non-biblical readings may be used in addition to readings from Scripture (see above).
Your priest may ask you to provide two family members or friends to act a Gift Bearers during the Presentation of the Gifts. The bearers will present the bread and wine to the priest during the offertory.
In her funeral rites, the church commends the dead to God and offers Christian hope to those who mourn. For this reason, it is customary to have a gathering of the family and friends of the deceased before the Funeral Mass.
The Prayer Service may take the form of one of the vigil services contained in the funeral ritual or a similar service, such as the prayer of the Rosary. It usually happens the day preceding the funeral in the church but may take place in the funeral home.
The Mass, the memorial of Christ's death and resurrection, is the principal celebration of the Christian funeral. While following the directives of the Church's ritual in planning the liturgical celebration, the choice of music, colour of vestments, biblical readings and homily should reflect the family's wishes, acknowledging as well the community aspect of faith which remains unbroken in death.
Since the proper setting for Mass is a sacred place, Mass is not to be celebrated in a funeral home or similar facility.
The Order of Christian Funerals states that "a brief homily based on the readings is always given after the Gospel reading…but there is never to be a eulogy." The homily relates Christian death to the Paschal Mystery of our Lord's death and resurrection. Attentive to the grief of those present, the homily properly includes an expression of praise and gratitude to God for the gift of a Christian life and such virtues or strengths apparent in the deceased's life.
With the consent of the local Pastor a brief eulogy may take place, usually at one of these times: the Vigil service, at a Reception following the mass, before the Funeral Mass begins, or before or after the final commendation and farewell at the end of the Funeral Mass.
It is recommended that the speaker should have the written text and length approved beforehand by the presiding priest.
Paschal (Easter) Candle
First lit at the Easter Vigil, this candle burns near the casket or urn during the Funeral Mass. It represents the Light of the Risen Christ, who has overcome darkness and death by His Resurrection.
Holy Water
Holy water reminds us of the saving waters of baptism. At the reception of the body the priest sprinkles the casket or urn with holy water. Its use calls to mind the deceased's baptism and initiation into the community of faith. In the rite of Final Commendation it may also signify farewell.
Blessing the casket or urn with incense during the funeral liturgy is a sign of honour to the deceased, which through baptism became the temple of the Holy Spirit. The rising of the incense smoke is a symbol of our prayers and a sign of farewell of our departed one rising to God.
Funeral Pall
The funeral pall (a large white cloth) reminds us of the garment given at baptism and therefore symbolizes our life in Christ and that we are all equal in the eyes of God. At the reception of the body, the pall is draped over the casket following the blessing with holy water. Family members are encouraged to take part in the placing of the pall.

Another Card to Share
Friday, April 17, 2009
On Easter, I shared with you two cards I had made for my children for Easter. I was up until about 4 am the night before, and for a little while, I made cards. I hadn't made any since November or so, so I was itching to get creating!
Here's one my fave cards that I made that night:
This card was pretty simple to make. I just took a 8.5" X 11" piece of white cardstock and cut it down to 5" X 4.25" and folded it in half. I then stamped on the girl from BC Dzyns - Heart Breaker located here in Memento Dew Drop ink in Tuxedo Black, that I had gotten for free for having an order over $50. I got the stamp set on sale and it's still on sale! So if you're interested, grab it!
I stamped the sentiment in the same Tuxedo Black ink. For the girl, I colored her and the heart in with colored pencils. I tried to get the heart to match the ribbon better, so I used three different colors, teal blue, blue, and grey. I added some coordinating ribbon and some acrylic stickers in the top right corner. Easy Peasy!
Thanks for stopping by to check out my creation!

If you have a couple of boards then you can increase the gap. One board I'm a big believer in choosing close sizes that cover 90 percent of your wind. There is no point in having a third kite sitting in the shed depreciating for 10 percent or less kiting time.
Also it makes it a lot easier to choose which kite to put up. Windy for you 9m, crazy windy 7m.
Having more boards can really increase the bottom end of your big kite and top end of your smaller kite. This essentially increases the range between the kites.
So even if you do go just a 7 and 9 consider different board selections.
I run a 9 and 11m on a mako king, mako 140 and a skim. If light and swell just pull out the SB and go strapless. So I have close sizes and different boards which kind of contradicts the first sentence but you see what I mean.
