A subtrope of the HaremAnime genre, where the male lead has a harem of potential love interests, all of whom are some sort of ActionGirl. Sometimes the harem may appear in a form of HeroSecretService or as an AmazonBrigade. They might also be BodyguardBabes.
Because this is a more action-oriented subgenre, Battle Harems are less likely to be focused on romance, but still provide plenty of {{fanservice}}. Often this appears in the form of a SupportingHarem, though a BalancedHarem form is possible.
Often a ThemedHarem, with all the girls having a shared origin and/or character tic/type, but not always. See also BattleCouple and AmazonChaser. If the hero gets power ''from'' his harem, see HaremPowered.
[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
%%%% This sounds more like WorldOfActionGirls or AmazonBrigade or something.
%%%* ''Manga/{{Aiki}}'' features only [[ActionGirl Action Girls]] that Joukyuu is training.
* ''LightNovel/TheAsteriskWar'': Over time, Ayato gathers a harem of seriously competent fighters to win the fighting tournaments in the Asterisk city.
* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'': Rock's got an DarkActionGirl Harem started, though Revy's the main contender. Eda's made her admiration plain, hitting on him several times. Not to mention Rock's open defiance of Balalaika somehow scoring him points with her and creating some {{UST}} there. Let's add Feng Yifei, a Chinese hacker with decently good skills (not on Benny's level, though). She's no ActionGirl like the rest of Rock's harem, but there's no doubt that her brains are useful. Oh, and she's the first person to actually ''kiss'' Rock. [[Funny/BlackLagoon RIGHT. IN. FRONT. OF. REVY.]]
* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex:'' Among the girls interested in Touma are a human repository of thousands upon thousands of spellbooks, the [[ShockAndAwe third most powerful Esper in Academy City]] and her ''[[MassiveNumberedSiblings 10,000]]'' '[[ClonesArePeopleToo Sisters]]' who have Level 2 powers and military expertise, a sword-wielding priestess [[note]] who happens to be a [[PersonOfMassDestruction Saint]][[/note]], one of her spear wielding subordinates, a magical spy/courier who wants to seduce him into working for her country, and the pre-teen leader of a magical cabal. It's even {{lampshaded}}; some people are starting to wonder if, with all the powerful women he's recruited to his side, he's setting up some kind of resistance force.
* ''LightNovel/DateALive'': The premise of the story is that Shido has to romance [[MagicalGirlWarrior Spirits]] in order to decrease their powers and not be a threat to mankind. Evem when de-powered, Spirits can use small bits of their power every now and then; this is usually to combat future harem members.
* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': Has quite a large ensemble of girls interested in Kirito, and are all {{Action Girl}}s capable of fighting for themselves in whatever virtual reality they reside in. Though the Harem aspect is downplayed considering Kirito only has eyes for Asuna.
* The main point of ''Manga/DeadlineSummonner'' is the protagonist trying to get by with his summons, in the least violent, and safest way possible. Unfortunately, there aren't many boring, safe jobs in a fantasy universe for a person of his skills. Fortunately, the girls are VERY capable fighters.
** And unfortunately, the girls are just as likely to be fighting amongst themselves and destroying the main character in the crossfire.
* You wouldn't expect this to crop up in a ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' show but the full crew of Naze's vessel in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans Iron-Blooded Orphans]]'' is made up of his harem. Though, to clarify, only three members thereof - [[SpicyLatina Amida]], [[GenkiGirl Lafter]], and [[TheStoic Azee]] - are the only combat-capable ones, being able to pilot mobile suits.
* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'': The more girls who join in the [[TrueCompanions Occult Research Club]], the more girls [[ChivalrousPervert Issei]] [[HaremSeeker gets.]] Said girls include [[StuffBlowingUp Rias]], [[ShockAndAwe Akeno]], [[{{BFS}} Xenovia]], [[TheMedic Asia]], and [[CuteBruiser Koneko]]. Later with the addition of [[{{Valkyries}} Rossweisse]], [[ThePhoenix Ravel]] [[SixthRanger Phenex]], [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Irina]] [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Shidou]] and [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Ophis]]. Take note, these are just ''the girls''. [[EvenTheGuysWantHim This isn't even including]] [[TheAce Kiba]] and [[TimeStandsStill Gasper]].
* ''LightNovel/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Kizuna has several women vying for his affections, all of them equipped with [[PoweredArmor Hybrid Gears]], which can only be activated and recharged whenever he [[DeusSexMachina does lewd things to them]], much to his chagrin when he finds out..
* ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'': The result of having an UnwantedHarem equipped with PoweredArmor. As Ichika's co-homeroom teacher Maya once stated, with his force of six representative pilots (Let us count them all, shall we? We have representatives from Japan, England, China, France, Germany, [[spoiler: Russia, and possibly America]]), he has more than enough to "start a war."
* ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'': The harem consists of a {{Necromancer}}, a MagicalGirl, and three [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] [[GratuitousNinja Ninja]].
* [[ChickMagnet Soujirou]], a supporting character in ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'', has one in the form of his guild the West Wind Brigade which is mainly composed of female players. Since it is considered to be one of the top combat guilds in Akihabara despite its relatively small size (around 60 members), its members can be assumed to be all very strong. And they are all head over heels in love with Soujirou. [[PlayedForLaughs Somehow]].
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has over 20 women, most of whom are {{Action Girl}}s in some form or the other, some of them ''ludicrously'' powerful, and most of the rest being at least {{Plucky Girl}}s or otherwise quite useful in some way.
* ''VisualNovel/MajiDeWatashiNiKoiShinasai'': More true for the anime with [[WorldofActionGirls Miyako, Wanko, Yukie & Chris]] already in Yamato's harem from the start, and the [[ActionGirl Momoyo]] (and others) in play. In the game, each girl has her own route, though in the Ryuuzetseran route, you get [[spoiler:Momo, Miyako, [[DarkActionGirl Tasuko & Angel]]]].
* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Takeru has Haruko, Inaho, and Celia vying for his affections, though Haruko adamantly denies having any feelings for him. All three also happen to be high-level ability users, two of whom, each wields one of the original 8 Maken.
* ''LightNovel/MaouNoHajimekata'': VillainProtagonist Aur is a human turned Demon Lord on a crusade against humanity, he wants to add capable individuals to his ranks, those who will aid him on his misanthropic quest, while he adds some men then and there, women are his favorite and he adds them by the dozens, the girls will be valuable assets to him in battle and in bed, Aur uses them for the later purpose a lot.
* ''Manga/{{Mouse}}'' is a HaremAnime comedy that consists mostly of scenes about [[UptoEleven hilariously over-the-top]] heists Sorata pulls and scenes where his accomplices/[[SubordinateExcuse servants]], ahem, lavish attention on him in a hilariously over-the-top fashion.
* In the harem of ''Manga/OmamoriHimari'', only one of them is a normal human who isn't capable of defeating just about anyone else.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma Saotome's UnwantedHarem is full of {{Action Girl}}s. Not surprising, since he lives in [[EverybodyWasKungFuFighting a world where everybody gets their own style of martial arts]].
* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'': All the harem members are capable of holding their own in battle (at the very least) and spend much of the first season defending Tsukune. Justified in that while Tsukune is human, the girls are all {{Cute Monster Girl}}s - the possible exception is Moka, who needs Tsukune to take off her rosario in order to fight at full strength but even without that she is pretty strong. The show, while very fanservice-y, does also have a strong focus on romance, especially in later arcs.
** The girls all get noticeably much stronger and more skilled over the course of the series as well, except for Moka who doesn't have much room to improve since she's top-tier from day one.
* ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'' is built around this trope, with the [[IncrediblyLamePun tit]]ular aliens being {{Action Girlfriend}}s to their PunyEarthling lovers. The protagonist, as well as most of the other prominent Ashikabi, each have their own harem of Sekirei and are competing in a battle royale where ThereCanBeOnlyOne. It veers between comical harem antics and serious action, borrowing heavily from shounen fighting series with many girls being either a SpiritedCompetitor or a BloodKnight.
* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' OVA - is a series about one guy living with five girls, who're all in love with him consisting of: [[SpacePirate Ryoko]], [[RealityWarper Washuu]], [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses Ayeka and Sasami]], and [[WalkingDisasterArea Mihoshi]]. Everyone except Sasami is skilled fighter (and clearly she will be too once she grows up)[[note]]Actually, early in the third series Sasami proves that she too is more than capable in a fight, as she first dodges every attack from an attacker and then, upon concluding that combat is inevitable, easily taking her opponent out with one of her hair ties that turn out to be weapons[[/note]], and all of them are very much superhuman. [[spoiler:Washu is a literal goddess, her daughter Ryoko is something more than a demigoddess given her lack of a mortal parent, and Sasami is in the process of merging with Washu's younger sister Tsunami. And as of the end of OVA 3, Washu and Tsunami's other sister Tokimi looks to be joining the harem.]]
** The current Emperor of Jurai, Ayeka and Sasami's father, has his own (albeit smaller) BattleHarem: his two wives Funaho and Misaki are each powerful warriors.
** Along with the other Tenchi stuff, there's ''Anime/TenchiMuyoGXP''. By the end, it's the captain, eight girls and an overpowered starship [[TheyFightCrime fighting pirates]].
** ''Anime/TenchiMuyoWarOnGeminar'' has this with almost every girl that is in love with Kenshi also being a highly trained and skilled combat mecha pilot.
** By the end of the third OVA Tenchi acquires another suitor in the name of Noike Kamiki Jurai, a Mihoshi's former partner and adopted daughter of the infamous [[NamesToRunFromReallyFast Demon Princess]] Seto Kamiki Jurai, who's widely acknowledged to be [[TheManBehindTheMan the driving force behing her son-in-law]] [[TheEmperor Azusa]]. Well, and Noike's a female part of Kagato, the major antagonist of the first OVA, who started as a clone of [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Washu's former best friend Naja Akara]].[[note]]Not to mention that the amnesiac Naja is heavily implied to be ''Seto'' the relationship charts in Tenchiverse are said to easily wind up in the five dimensions.[[/note]]
** If the beginning of the fourth OVA series is any indication, then Tenchi's just acquired an another powerful woman who has an eye on him Minaho Masaki Jurai, the head of the Juraian SecretPolice, who is technically ''[[IncestIsRelative his aunt]]''.
* The universe should consider itself lucky that ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' is a romantic comedy. To wit, as of the most recent issue of Darkness, Rito has gained the unwavering allegiance of ''three'' shape-shifting living weapons, all of whom are experts in infiltration and assassination, especially Nemesis [[ParanoiaFuel who can hide in other people's bodies,]] the three Deviluke sisters, each of whom has unique ability (Lala has super-strength and is a TeenGenius, Momo can control the plants and Nana the animals), Rin, who is a MasterSwordsman and Kyoko that has fire-power. The other girls are normal humans, expect Run, with no particular ability, although if push comes to shove, Haruna can use him as a weapon, quite effectively and many of the others have excellent non-combat skills that are very useful in prolonged campaigns.
* [[MagneticHero 1st Lt. Youji Itami]] of ''LightNovel/{{GATE}}'' in the course of the story of being thrust into a [[AlternateUniverse magical parallel world]], managed to collect a semi-UnwantedHarem consisting of a 961-years-old[[note]]Though [[Really700YearsOld looking 13.]][[/note]] [[PhysicalGod Demi-Goddess and Apostle]] of the God of Death, a 169-years-old [[ArcherArchetype elven archer]] (who considers him a [[PromotionToParent replacement of her deceased father]])[[note]]Despite her age, her attitude and behavior is [[ImmortalImmaturity pretty much of a 16-years-old girl]].[[/note]], a 300-something years old Dark Elf warrior who is technically now [[HappinessInSlavery his slave for the favor he did to her tribe]], a-a-and a [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers 15-years-old human magician]], who, on the other hand, is arguably the most dangerous on the bunch due to being [[SmartGirl smartest of them by far]]. And that's not mentioning his 28-years old former wife back in Japan who's still pretty much into him. And [[HaremSeeker approves of all aforementioned with gusto]]. As of volume 8, the crown princess of The Empire has thrown her hat into the ring, in front of all the others.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* The ComicBook/XMen once faced an MultiversalConqueror known as [[AVillainNamedKhan Khan]] whose harem was composed of warrior women from worlds that he conquered. He decides to make ComicBook/{{Storm}} his newest addition and as she soon finds out, these ladies are very vicious and jealous fighters.
* ''ComicBook/TheDarkness'' has the Angelus female warriors, who in addition of fighting for their mistress, they also doubled as her concubines when outside of fighting.
* Subverted with the [[BodyguardBabes Dora Milaje]] in ''ComicBook/BlackPanther'', as tradition dictates they serve his personal bodyguards and wives-in-training. Despite their beauty and skill, T'Challa views them [[LikeASonToMe as daughter-figures]] rather than romantic interests.
* In ''For Want of a War'', Only one of Ramza's possible love interests can't fight.
* In ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', we have the RealityWarper, the [[HumanAliens Human Alien]] slightly-less-powerful RealityWarper, the tazer-wielding YakuzaPrincess, the {{Time Travel}}er, the [[TeleportersAndTransporters Teleporting]] [[DimensionalTraveler Slider]]....

* ''Roleplay/BattleActionHaremHighschoolSideCharacterQuest'' has the players take control as one of the girls in the harem instead of the male protagonist.
* PlayedForLaughs and [[GenderInvertedTrope gender-inverted]] in the ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' fanfic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4567900/1/Romancing-the-Bhaalspawn "Romancing the Bhaalspawn"]]. It's a humorous attempt to answer the question, "What would happen if a female PC played this game with a fistful of [[GameMod romance mods]]?" So Kaela has an entire party full of love interests: Xan [[spoiler: (never seriously pursued)]], Solaufein and Haer'Dalis [[spoiler: (who proposition Kaela to have a threesome)]], Valygar [[spoiler: (breaks up with her to be a CelibateHero)]], Anomen [[spoiler: (friend-zoned)]], and [[spoiler: Sarevok, who Kaela is [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys convinced is The One]]]].

* In ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', the antagonist has a harem of wives that are ready to fight for him... which apparently includes fighting each other.
* ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' has a form of this. Men are rare, so when one is married off it's to an entire family of sisters who themselves are the children of several different sisters and one father. Women rule this world and work fiercely to protect their fragile brothers, sons, and husbands from other women who would literally kidnap them, so this is sort of a default.
* ''Literature/TheHaremGames'' has this set up, by design, teenage males upon reaching puberty are forced into a battle royal and each granted through BureaucraticallyArrangedMarriage a harem of 6 to 15 brides that help him fight the others in a fight to the death, for the amusement of the populace at large.
* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' has Rand in a relationship with three girls, all of whom agree to share him: Min is a {{Ladette}} and a KnifeNut, Aviendha is a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Girl]] who used to be a member of an AmazonBrigade and grew from being an ActionGirl to a really strong channeler, and finally, Elayne is a royal action girl who is also a strong channeler.
* In Ann Scarborough's ''The Harem of Aman Ackbar'' the titular harem of ill assorted wives must work together to find and rescue their husband (who's been turned into a donkey).

Also extends to ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' continuity.

-->'''Ben Thompson:''' What makes Chandragupta totally awesome is that he was totally paranoid out of his mind. He built a huge palace with hundreds of beds and he never slept in the same place twice. He had food testers taste everything he ate and he created the first ever secret police to defend him from assassination. The best part about it though is that he had an entourage of seven hundred female bodyguards that followed him everywhere he went. He said that he trusted females more to defend him and so he compiled his unit from the best Greek and Indian women he could find. That's just freaking awesome. If I was King I would do the same thing.
* Muammar Gaddafi kept an all-female team of elite bodyguards called essentially "the Revolutionary Nuns" in Arabic or "the Amazonian Guard" by the Western press.

Montana's Secret Oil Comeback
The Second Stage of the Bakken Oil Rush
We all know where the spotlight is shining brightest in the U.S. oil and gas industry...
Predicting North Dakota's wild success has been one of the easier calls we've made.
What started out as a few small companies mapping out a territory and putting the drill-bit to the ground has turned into a full-fledged oil rush.
And when I mentioned back in April that the North Dakota's production would soon be in excess of 600,000 barrels per day, it actually happened that month! Current estimates suggest the state's oil output will top two million barrels per day within the next 13 years.
Despite the optimism surrounding the play, my eyes aren't focused solely on North Dakota these days.
In fact, my last sojourn out to the Midwest wasn't to North Dakota... I passed right through it last month without so much as a second thought.
Because right now, we're coming up on the second stage of the Bakken boom — and it's going to unfold where you'd least expect.
Passing Through an Oil Boom
I'll confess it wasn't easy to drive past Williston, North Dakota, and not stop.
You see, investors haven't been the only ones reaping the benefits of the success in the Bakken oil patch...
By now I'm sure you've seen the strong economic stats pouring out of North Dakota. The mainstream media can't get enough of reporting the state's prosperity.
(I should mention these are the same media outlets that had no idea where Williston County was even located four years ago.)
And the stories you read about aren't exaggerated much; the news clips featuring motels with no vacancy, roadside diners flooded with patrons, and people making six-figure salaries while sleeping in their cars are all spot-on.
The state's unemployment rate fell to 3% last May — and it's actually negative in some areas:
It's one of the reasons I cruised west along Interstate 94... and didn't stop until the North Dakota landscape was far behind me.
The Oil Boom that Never Was
Montana has good reason to be jealous of neighboring North Dakota.
Until 2007, all eyes were on the Elm Coulee oil field...
Discovered in 2000, the Elm Coulee field is found in the Williston Basin and is responsible for doubling Montana's oil output in 2006.
State production reached as high as 100,000 barrels per day that year, and the Elm Coulee was rated as one of the highest-producing onshore oil fields in the lower 48 states in 2007.
Yes, things were going great for Montanans — until North Dakota stole the show.
Take another glance at that chart above. Notice how Montana's unemployment rate was falling steadily?
At one point, Montana was neck and neck with North Dakota. Today, Montana's unemployment number is 6.3%, more than double that of its neighbor.
But if things keep going the way they have been over the last two years, these neighboring states may soon be tied again.
You see, Montanans are bracing for the impact of another oil boom... and this time their fortunes will last longer than a decade.

Sweet Revenge
At present, there are about 208 drilling rigs operating in North Dakota. A year ago, there were roughly 155.
In July 2010, there were about 123 — and only about 40 or so the year prior.
Historical data from the Baker Hughes rig count shows there wasn't a single oil or gas rig running in Montana in July 2009...
Compare that to the rig activity in North Dakota:
But things are about to change for Montana — and for the better.
In June, the Montana Board of Oil and Gas issued 228 oil permits. In case you're wondering, that's more than the total number issued in 2011.
Now there are about 20 drilling rigs in Montana. At this rate, there could be 40 by next July — and then we'll be off to the races.
And yet it looks as though nobody else has caught on to the potential of Montana's comeback!
As with most investments, those paying attention to the coming trends will bank the most.
Correction? What Correction?
There's only one thing the Bakken needs more than drilling rigs, and that's infrastructure.
Specifically, we're talking about ways for producers to transport their oil to market.
Without it, the light, sweet crude beneath Montana and North Dakota might as well stay underground.
The companies investing in the future production of the Bakken also happen to be some of the safest — and most profitable — stocks in the area:
click chart to enlarge
The fact is pipeline capacity in North Dakota was reached more than two years ago.
And if the Keystone XL project was any indication of how much government red tape it takes to green light a new pipeline, it's almost impossible not to see the growth potential developing in the country's top rail stocks.
It turns out Warren Buffett's gamble in Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad is paying out in spades: Bloomberg reported BNSF's petroleum carloads rose 75% during the second quarter compared to a year earlier.
And it certainly doesn't hurt that many of those pipeline stocks will be paying out a healthy 3%-5% annual yield for decades to come.

Bangladesh Jails Islamist Politician for War Crimes
Fifth Jamaat-e-Islami Leader to Be Convicted, Raising Fears of More Unrest
DHAKA, Bangladesh—A tribunal investigating Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence sentenced a senior Islamist politician to 90 years in prison for alleged crimes against humanity, raising fears of further political instability.
Ghulam Azam, 91 years old, is considered to be the most influential Islamist leader to be prosecuted by the tribunal so far. A former leader of Bangladesh's largest Islamist party, the Jamaat-e-Islami, he was...

Novus Ordo Translation Debate Is Heating Up!
Without a doubt, Liberal and Orthodox Catholics have discovered major theological differences, resulting in heated debates on changes to the Mass since Vatican II. What's the heart of translation debate? This can almost be summed up in a debate over one word . . .
In the current Novus Ordo during the words of consecration the Blood of Christ "will be poured out for you and for all," the new translation will have the correct translation and substitute "all" for the word "many." It's really simple. "Many" is the direct quote from an accurate translation of scripture. "All" was inserted by liberals believing the word "many" makes Jesus seem "intolerant."
What is the Root of the Issue?
Liberal Catholics don't want to believe in hell. Orthodox Catholics want the full accurate teaching under obedience to the Magisterium of the One, True Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ.
MANY = Hell
ALL = All are saved, but murderers and rapists of course.
Orthodox Catholic = "serious theological problems" of the 1973 missal currently in use.
Liberal Catholic = "I respond that Jesus died even for those who reject his grace. He died for all," says Bishop Robert Trautman. The new translation could be a "pastoral disaster."
The following comes from a Fr. Z post who discovered Bishop Mark Coleridge, a courageous bishop, who says the "Vatican II's reforms were not properly implemented and were taken too far."
As usual with Fr. Z, with his emphases and comments.
John Quinn
By Anthony Barich
PERTH, Australia (CNS) — The newly translated Roman Missal to be issued in Australian parishes in 2011 will help address the serious theological problems of the 1973 missal currently in use, said one of Australia's most senior liturgists. [Get that? "Serious" theological problems. Remember: the way we pray as a reciprocal relationship with what we believe.]
In the process, it will more faithfully implement the liturgical vision of the Second Vatican Council [Because the liturgical vision of Vatican II was never really tried.] and also fulfill the reforms of the much-maligned 1570 Council of Trent, Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Canberra-Goulburn told approximately 200 liturgists gathered in Perth in early February.
Archbishop Coleridge is chairman of the Roman Missal Editorial Committee of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy; he is also chair of the Australian bishops' Liturgy Commission.
While Archbishop Coleridge acknowledged that the missal used since 1973 has made gains in accessibility, participation, Scripture, adaptation and inculturation, he said it also has "serious problems theologically" and "consistently bleaches out metaphor, which does scant justice to the highly metaphoric discourse" of Scripture and early Christian writers. [It is important to remember the role that biblical positivists played in the liturgical wars. Blinkered by their approach to Scripture they effectively evacuated a great deal of the significance of the liturgical texts.]
This is the result of a misunderstanding of Vatican II's reforms, he said. [Yes.]
Occasional claims of the Roman Missal revisions being a "merely political right-wing plot of the church" to turn the clock back miss the point of reform and of the purpose of the Mass, which is "a gift from God, not something to be manipulated," he said.
"Nothing will happen unless we move beyond ideology and reducing the church to politics and the slogans that go with them, which are unhelpful," he said. "Drinking from the wells of tradition passed on supremely in the liturgy is what this new moment of renewal is all about." [Very well said.]
[Note this well:] Archbishop Coleridge's speech to the liturgists came just two weeks after Benedictine Father Anscar Chupungco, a former consulter to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, said Jan. 22 that the reforms were part of an attempt to turn the clock back 50 years. [Precisely. Remember: Liberals want to control the narrative of the Council and the post-Conciliar reform. They must be set straight.]
Archbishop Coleridge said that one of the ironies of criticism of the new missal is that "we can fail to attend to history even though perhaps the most fundamental achievement of Vatican II was the restoration of historical consciousness to the life of the Catholic Church."
"A claim that troubles me is that this initiative is somehow a retreat from all that Vatican II tried to promote and enact and a betrayal, therefore, of the (Second Vatican) Council and, by implication, the Holy Spirit," Archbishop Coleridge said.
He said if that were true, he and thousands of others involved in the missal process "would not have shed the blood, sweat and tears of the last seven years."
"We would've saved ourselves a lot of time and money if we'd just stuck with the Latin, but that's not what the Spirit is saying to the church," he said. [With due respect, I am not sure how that can be demonstrated. But let's move on.]
However, Vatican II's reforms were not properly implemented and were taken too far, he said, after the Latin texts were translated in 1973 with "breathtaking speed." [And breathtaking incompetence.]
Since then, the liturgy has largely lost the sense of the liturgy as primarily Christ's action, [YES!] as something received "not just what we do; a mystery into which we are drawn." [Wow… does this sound like WDTPRS?]
"We can't just tamper with it," he said. "Celebrants sometimes act as if it's their own personal property to do with what they like. You can't."
An overly cerebral approach to liturgy, loss of ritual, oversimplification of rites, loss of a sense of silence, beauty and an unwitting clericalism [No one is more "clerical" in the negative sense than a liberal.] have all led to the Mass lacking its full potential to catechize the faithful and renew the church, he said.
The Second Vatican Council's "catechetical thrust" that encouraged priests to catechize in the process of celebration has led to the Mass "drowning under the weight of supposed catechetical verbosity," he said.
The new translations will attempt to control "clerical verbosity and, dare I say, clerical idiosyncrasy," he said.
"Let the texts stand as is and let catechesis draw out from the texts in a way that communicates to the community, rather than trying to build into the texts a catechesis that runs the risk of corrupting the texts or diluting their power," he said. [Just Say The Black and Do The Red.]
The proposed English translation of the second Latin edition of the Roman Missal was never approved by the Vatican, and a translation of the third Latin edition promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 2002 is near completion, the Vatican said in late January.

SUPERMARKET giant Morrisons' newest store opened its doors in Wroughton at a ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday morning.
Plans to build the new Morrisons M Local store on the site of the former Three Tuns pub had caused concern among residents ever since the company first lodged an interest in converting the venue last summer.
Yet the end result was praised by villagers who appreciated the chain's efforts to preserve some of the inn's most historic features.
Jane Lane, a campaigner at the heart of the successful Kings Farm Wood appeal, was invited to cut the ribbon.
"I think it will blend into the community and add something to it," she said. "The fact that it has kept a bit of its character is a big plus."
The store has created 20 jobs in the village.
Parish council chairman Paul Hurst said: "The plans for a shop were upsetting for a few of the locals especially those overlooking it. There were highways issues and it still might be a problem. "But they listened to the parish council and put railings in and it has created some employment. They also kept some of the features of the public house which is good."
Josh Davies, Morrisons M Local manager, said: "We are hoping to be a part of this tight-knit community. We went out last Tuesday to introduce ourselves to the community and people have been welcoming. The response from the village has been very positive."

LIVE! | Hornet, The Burning Crows & Black State Highway
by Jimmy Millard
Guest Writer —
March 29, 2012 at THE INTREPID FOX, SOHO, UK
It was Thursday night and I and a few mates decided to head down town for the Hornet show with support from The Burning Crows and Black State Highway at The Intrepid Fox. After reading a live review from last months show online and watching the band's videos on their website I was excited to see their thundering show right in front of me for my own two eyes. My original plan was to drink round the corner beforehand for a few quick pints until three girls in Hornet T-shirts approached us in the street handing out flyers for the gig (which we were already going to) and managed to convince us to head straight to the venue for drinks and a good time… so we strolled up to The Intrepid Fox, one of London's best rock bars, grabbed some drinks and walked upstairs to wait for the first band of the night Black State Highway.
Black State Highway ripped into a powerful classic rock onslaught reminiscent of Led Zeppelin topped with a modern southern rock twinge. Lead vocalist Liva Steinberga had a strong domineering rock voice which was refreshing to hear as girl vocalists in rock bands tend to go for the Hayley Williams look and sound which I find very cliché but not these guys! It was a very tight set from Black State Highway with some very skilled musicians, however for me the visual performance wasn't very exciting but I do think the music did the talking very much so for these guys and the more this band plays live the further I think they will go. They are definitely worth watching live, so go check them out.
More and more people were entering the venue and things were starting to heat up (literally) with the anticipation building strong for the current talk of the town Hornet. Tonight's main support act came in strong with The Burning Crows and I was looking forward to seeing what they had to offer, I had heard good things. The Burning Crows took to the stage and quickly livened things up with their high energy rock 'n' roll. Played hard and well these guys gave off an overall sound of Steel Panther (minus the jokes) meets Ratt with hints of 'DC. Vocalist/Guitarist Whippz did a stellar job to liven the ever building crowd up between songs and the whole band kept the music on lock down with drummer Chris Chapman, Bassist Will Lockett and guitarist Lance Daniels. The band claim they spent innumerable hours on the road, playing countless shows to master their craft and it really does show. Check these guys out as they went down a treat!
Next on stage was Hornet the band that both my friends and I had been waiting for and from the reaction of the room that's what everyone had really been waiting for all night. By now the room was packed out and it was ridiculously hot, however Hornet burst onto the stage and opened with 'Down To The Bone' which had a real thumping guitar riff. Hornet went wild from start to finish and the crowd matched them jumping up and down, screaming and cheering all night long. One thing I loved was mid set when Joe Thompson took out his camera and asked the crowd to raise their hands in the air and scream 'HORNET' whilst he took a picture. What a great idea and something I've never seen before at any gig.
Thunderous Bassist, Max Thompson kept it tough and tight with Drummer, Alex Burt who was hitting hard and heavy and kept the groove down impeccably which allowed guitarist, Tollef Rikje-Pearson to play riffs and solo to his hearts desire and together with vocalist and frontman Joe Thompson they ruled the stage. There was some fantastic songs in Hornet's set and I enjoyed them all but my particular favorites were 'Drive On' and 'Under Pressure' they had huge hooks and chorus' and are real sing-a-long songs. It's a shame the band don't have an album out yet as I desperately wanted to buy one that night but for now their three track EP will do.
As we know all good things come to an end and after a hot and sweaty 45 minutes Hornet played their final song 'Rock 'n' Roll Riot' and brought their set to a impactful close. Brothers Max and Joe Thompson along with Alex Burt and Tollef Rikje-Pearson came to the front of the stage and bowed as their strong and loyal fan base shouted for an encore which the band then preceded to play. Their final song allowed their fans to mosh and go mad once more before the end of the night.
After a superb night I'm already prepared for the next Hornet show at The Intrepid Fox with two other great bands Wasted Sinners and Four Wheel Drive on Thursday 26th April 2012. Make note people the yellow and black army are invading. See you at the front!

My medicine is not killing my pain, I use, oxycodone/acetaminophen 10-325...it was wrking...until they changed the distributer or manufacturer or pill, from Watson to A333. how can that be? I am in fibro pain, my doctor prescribed Percocet, my pharmacy usually gives me a pill marked Watson, and it wrked, this month the gave me a pill with encrypted A333, it is not as strong, not wrking...what is wrong with this picture? XXXXXXX
Posted Fri, 31 Jan 2014 in Medicines and Side Effects
Answered by Dr. Shoaib Khan 55 minutes later
Brief Answer: That is because it is a different medication Detailed Answer: Hello ma'am and welcome. Thank you for writing to us. The light green pill described by you with the A333 encrypted on it is a combination of hydrocodone 10 mg and acetaminophen 650 mg which is not the same as the pill you were previously on (i.e. oxycodone 10 mg + acetaminophen 325 mg). You should discuss the same with your doctor as he/she has decided to change your prescription and thus you feel the difference. I also hope I have helped you to clear your doubt. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you. Best wishes.

XXXXXXX
Answered by Dr. Shoaib Khan 15 minutes later
Brief Answer: Treatment is slightly different XXXXXXX Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX I am not sure if your treatment was changed, if your doctor deliberately changed the medication or if it was a mistake, but you should ask your doctor about the change. You should just ask your doctor why you were shifted from oxycodone to hydrocodone, although they belong to the same group and have more or less the same effect, they are still different. So request him/her to help you to get back to the previous prescription. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I am asking regarding pill description, I am not satisfied.....You claim it's its hydrocodone........The a pharmacist said, it's oxycodone just a diffrnt, brand..............if I am coming back here give me a clear answer, plz XXXXXXX
Answered by Dr. Shoaib Khan 14 minutes later
Brief Answer: Either wrong pill or developing a resistance Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX I just checked with my pharmacy as well, and have learnt the following: 1. The is a white/light greenish oval tablet with A333 imprinted on it: This tablet is a combination of hydrocodone 10 mg + acetaminophen 650 mg 2. There is a white oblong pill with A333 imprinted on it, which has the following contents: combination of oxycodone 10 mg + acetaminophen 325 mg So, if you have the oval light greenish/white color tablet then you have been given hydrocodone, which also belongs to the same group as oxycodone, and this would explain the less positive response you are experiencing with the current medication; but if you have a white oval pill then you have the same contents that you were previously taking, and you should not be experiencing a lesser response. Brands do not really make a difference as the dosage is the same, and you should experience the same response as you previously were if you have been given the right medication, unless of course you are developing a resistance to oxycodone, in which case you will have to raise the dosage of the medication, but only under the supervision of a doctor. This is a common occurrence and happens to at least 7 out of every 10 individuals on oxycodone. I hope this information is what you were looking for XXXXXXX My apologies for any inconsistencies in the previous responses. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help. Best wishes.

Sports play an important role in the overall development of the child. When a child grows up he starts playing. At a very young age his game could be simple like hiding and running. As he grows up and starts mixing up with children of his age the process of development of sportsmanship starts. To begin with the child looks towards the parents who are his first and natural guides. In addition to the parents he will look toward the coach who will teach him the tricks of the game he intends to play.
During the age we are passing through there is a tendency amongst the youth to move away from traditions. The kids need to be reminded of the basic values needed to be followed to be a good sportsman. This makes it all the more important to train and remind our young ones as to what sportsmanship means and enable them to become good sportsmen in future life. For development of this habit the kids should be taught to keep the following in mind by.
- Kids should be taught to abide by the rules of any game they play. The child should not only be taught as to how to play but also as to how to play according to the set rules. A kid knowing the rules will enjoy the game more than a kid not fully aware of the rules.
- The kid should not enter into an argument with the coach or other people involved in the game. Anger always gives way to the performance so anger management is very essential for a sportsman.
- The kid should be taught about the importance of playing the game as a team. He should be aware that his action or reaction is going to affect the team as a whole. Unwanted act of one player will not be condoned by the team mates.
- The child should be told not to consider himself superior as compared to other players. He should try to act as a guide to the lesser talented player and encourage them to come up.
- The child should be taught that those who play fair have long standing and are successful in contrast to the players who try to shine using foul means. Cheating in a game will not help.
- The child should be taught to follow the orders and directions of the coach as he is a leader. Even in case of disagreement it should not be discussed in public and not in the presence of the coach with intent to vent anger.
- Teach the child that to be a good sportsman he should have equal respect for the players of the other team. He should not put an effort to let the other team members down. If they perform better and win, the defeat should be accepted with humility.
- The child should be made to learn to accept the orders of the coach or other team officials. Even if they have made a mistake it is not appropriate for the player to show unwanted and excessive resentment. The energy should be focused on the game only.
- The child should learn to end the game smoothly and without making unwanted remarks or other gestures on the other team mates. One team has to win and other has to lose the game. Even if the other team has lost, the child should not show signs of superiority and in case of his team losing he should keep calm.
If the child is able to remember and follow these basic guidelines while playing any game, it is certain that he or she will outshine others and will become a better sportsman and team leader during future life.

LAMP stack kickstart script for AWS with PHP55
August 11, 2014
I've been messing around with Puppet and Vagrant a lot at work recently working to automate our infrastructure. However, I had an idea for a little website and I just wanted to get started on some basic things with the site and not have to worry about a whole complicated Puppet setup.
AWS has a tutorial for setting up a basic lamp stack on the EC2 instances and I thought it would be handy to make that in to a little bash run all the commands in the tutorial.

I have been a crocheter for approx 37 years and I still learn new things on a constant basis about crochet. There are so many techniques that range from easy to difficult and are very worth giving a try. Do not ever give up trying to learn one, you always have me to ask or you can always post on the ravelry group Witchy Crocheters which is a wonderful resource because you will get different answers. Now this does not mean that there is a right or wrong answer, it just means basically that there is more than one way to use a crochet hook, hahahahaha. Once you start to expand your skills, you open up to the many possibilities that crochet has to offer. Sweaters, shaping, hats, socks, bikini's, underwear, and more. So don't give up, keep on trying and ask questions.
I do have a list of techniques that you may want to take a look at and of course if something isn't on this list, just ask and it can certainly be posted on here.

BART gap too wide for respected mediator to bridge
Updated 10:25 am, Saturday, October 19, 2013
He has successfully brokered deals between labor and management for Major League Soccer, the Metropolitan Opera and Verizon - but not even George Cohen could bring both sides of the BART dispute to an agreement.
Workers for the Bay Area Rapid Transit District went on strike Friday, five days after Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, came to town in an attempt to defuse the strained labor negotiations. Before Thursday's strike announcement, Cohen's involvement seemed promising. As recently as Wednesday, union officials were crediting the longtime labor lawyer with changing the tone at the bargaining table.
But a day later, Cohen and his staff were packing up to head back to Washington, D.C., and workers were preparing for a strike.
"What's key is that, as a mediator, you cannot pull a rabbit out of the hat - if one side doesn't want a deal," said Harley Shaiken, a labor professor at UC Berkeley. "I think timing here can be everything. It often is in negotiations."
Shaiken said Cohen - who was brought in after state mediators also failed to bring the parties to an agreement - did seem to help both sides make major progress, but he may have arrived too late.
"You had very intense, very productive negotiations in which deep divides were bridged in the 11th hour," he said of compromises over benefits and other compensation issues made last week. "But then the issue of work rules, which was present at the beginning, all of the sudden soared to the head of the line."
Among the best
Those who have worked with Cohen say he is one of the best in the business, regardless of which side of the table he's on or where he has sat in the past. Cohen, who was appointed to his federal post by President Obama in 2009, worked for four decades as an attorney representing unions, both public and private, in contract negotiations.
"George Cohen may be the consummate labor relations professional in the United States," said Robert Manfred, the chief operating officer for Major League Baseball who formerly handled labor relations.
Manfred met Cohen when the now-mediator was representing baseball players in contract talks with Major League Baseball in the mid-1990s. Despite their opposing roles, Manfred said he would "happily accept George as a mediator in a baseball dispute.
"He's one of the most creative and fair-minded people I have ever seen in the bargaining process," Manfred said. "You could not have a better person involved in a labor dispute."
That said, it doesn't always work out, as Bob Batterman, a labor lawyer who works on the management side, saw in 2010 and 2011 when Cohen was called in to mediate a National Football League contract between players and the NFL. Batterman said Cohen worked around the clock for 17 days trying to help both sides reach an agreement, and there was a four-month lockout.
"We finally came to an agreement without his involvement," he said.
Soccer league talks
That wasn't the case in the 2009 Major League Soccer contract talks, which Cohen successfully mediated. Batterman, who was representing the league, said that was a situation where Cohen not only helped the parties strike a deal, but maintain their relationship moving forward.
"I don't know if we would have been able to come out of that peacefully and constructively without George," he said.
"Most mediators, though competent and well meaning, are not at the level of experience George is at. He was the premier labor-side lawyer - his experience was so complete," Batterman said. "As director, he's not obligated to get involved. ... But he likes to take on the high-profile ones himself."
Cohen said he'd return to the table when BART labor and management are ready to sit down. If the parties don't agree to binding arbitration, Shaiken said, that may well be necessary.
"I think the unions will continue to push compulsory arbitration, but if BART digs in, a mediator could, in effect, provide some of that (neutrality)," he said, adding that Cohen will probably "have to be convinced both sides want him back."

GLENDALE, Ariz.
— Chicago White Sox pitchers Gavin Floyd and Edwin Jackson tend to fly under the radar when it comes to news about the team's starting rotation.
Jake Peavy's health is closely monitored and Mark Buehrle's recent Michael Vick comments garnered national headlines. Then there's the non-feud between Buehrle and John Danks, who led the team in all major pitching categories in 2010, over who should be the opening day starter.
Jackson and Floyd don't mind the lack of attention, but their performances in the middle of the rotation are vital to a team that finished six games behind Minnesota in the American League Central last year.
"My job is to get out every fifth day and give our team the chance to win a game, regardless of whether or not my name is out in the media," Jackson said. "And that's what I do."
Floyd finished 2010 with a 10-13 record and a 4.08 earned run average. He started with a 6.64 ERA and two wins in his first 11 starts, then put together a 1.19 ERA over his next 12 starts. He was shut down for the final two weeks of the season due to shoulder tightness, the effects of which he said have completely disappeared.
Pleased with his perseverance last year, Floyd hopes to achieve success a little earlier time around.
"You always say you want to get off to a good start but a lot of things in baseball are out of your control," he said. "It's a test of a guy's character, so you just work your butt off and try to do your best."
The White Sox offense provided fewer than four runs of support per game when Floyd took the mound last year, but the re-signing of Paul Konerko and the addition of slugger Adam Dunn leads Floyd to believe things might be a little different this season.
"It can be a double-edged sword. You can get comfortable and not concentrate as much," he said about potential run support. "Still, deep down you know it's nice to get a big number up there early. You just need to keep your focus and go as long as you can."
Like Floyd, Jackson's year was a tale of two seasons. Despite a no-hitter on June 25 at Tampa Bay, he only managed a 6-10 record and a 5.16 ERA with Arizona.
He was acquired from the Diamondbacks at the trading deadline last year, filling a vacant spot in the rotation after Peavy underwent season-ending surgery.
Jackson allowed just three runs in his first four starts and finished with a 4-2 record and 3.24 ERA. He struck out at least 10 batters in three consecutive starts in August and often worked deep into games to take some of the burden off the bullpen.
"That's the game," Jackson said of his midseason turnaround. "I could have come in here and done just as bad. It's just one of those things in baseball. Sometimes change brings better outcomes in people."
With help from pitching coach Don Cooper, Jackson noted that there was a slight tweak in mechanics that helped him look like the pitcher who won 27 games combined in 2008 and 2009.
"It was just a small adjustment that I got away from and somehow picked up a bad habit and it kind of got away from me," he said.
Jackson said he is excited about the talent surrounding him.
"Do better than last year" is Jackson's main personal goal for this season.
"Work on my consistency," he added. "And get my 200 innings. I always at least shoot for 200 innings."
