Free Fight
"It's one of those fights that I don't have to necessarily be on the lookout for one thing; I kinda have to be on the lookout for everything." - Charlie Brenneman
It's impressive enough that the small AMA Fight Club in Whippany, New Jersey has produced several UFC and Strikeforce fighters over the years. I'm more impressed that they make weight, considering that their gym has been non-strategically placed right next to a place called the Original Pancake House that can turn featherweights to welterweights in the blink of an eye or the wave of a fork.
So when it was announced that September 1st's UFC 151 was being scrapped, you had to worry about the well-being of AMA welterweight Charlie Brenneman, scheduled to open up the Las Vegas event against Kyle Noke. If there was too long a break before the fight was rebooked, Brenneman could have easily been asking UFC matchmaker Joe Silva for a fight at 205 pounds.
But later on the same Thursday that the event was cancelled, Brenneman and Noke had a new date – September 22nd on Toronto's UFC 152 card. Was it too late?
"No, but I will say I'm probably gonna have some hot wings tonight," laughed Brenneman shortly after hearing the news. "I'm gonna cave a little bit."
He earned it after a 2012 that has sent him swirling through every point on the emotional spectrum. From a big win to a big loss, from getting married to going through the death of a beloved coach, Brenneman had seen it all in 2012, even before the crazy 12 hours of August 23rd. In fact, he had already been through so much that the day was almost routine…or at least par for the course.
"It was a normal 12 hours, it was a normal great training day, and without a doubt it was a whirlwind, but to be honest, I guess I'm kind of a veteran, and I've been involved in some pretty wacky stuff in my UFC career, so this almost just seems like another day," he said. "After the whole (Rick) Story incident, it's kinda hard for something to happen where I'm completely blown out of the water. So yeah, this is crazy, but it ended up all right, so I can sleep peacefully."
It was the June 2011 fight with fellow 170-pound prospect Story that made Brenneman's name in the sport. Stepping in for Nate Marquardt just before the weigh ins, "The Spaniard," fighting in his home state of Pennsylvania, upset Story with a modern day "Rocky" story that captivated the MMA world.
He lost his next bout a little more than three months later to Anthony Johnson, but a January 2012 win over Daniel Roberts righted his ship and put his UFC record at 4-2. Then came a June matchup with Brazilian phenom Erick Silva, and Brenneman was confident that he had the skill set and gameplan to get the victory. But as weigh in day dawned, Brenneman got the call that his strength and conditioning coach, Don Messing, had died of a heart attack. He was only 42 years old.
"There was really no question what I was gonna do," said Brenneman. "It sounds cliché to say, but there's nothing more he would have wanted than for me to go out there and do my best. Obviously I felt pressure, and it sounds weird to say, but I was comfortable with our relationship and the way we ended, and to know that there was nothing more that he wants than for me to keep going to the top."
Brenneman went through with the fight, and though it was competitive throughout the early going, late in the first round Silva caught him in a rear naked choke and finished the bout.
"I had so much else going on that it was really hard for me to be in that moment," said Brenneman. "It was extremely hard to concentrate. That being said, I was really happy with how I fought for the first three or four minutes of the fight. I let loose on some of my combinations and my standup was a little more fluid, so it was a step in the right direction."
And while the loss to Silva stung, the loss of Messing hurt, and you can still hear it in Brenneman's voice.
"I was a novice," he said when asked what Messing brought to the table for him in their years working together. "I thought I knew a lot about lifting and fitness and nutrition, but I learned so much. Straight technique, then diet and nutrition, and what my body needed to compete at this level. And to be honest, it took up until his passing until I really took that to the next level and I've really started implementing that into my lifestyle."
Now it's time to move forward, and the next step on the 31-year old's journey is the meeting with Noke, a seasoned veteran making his first start at welterweight. Brenneman believes taking him on in his 170-pound debut is a mistake for the Australian.
"Maybe if he looked at a piece of paper, maybe he could find a more dangerous, more of a finishing opponent than I am, but I don't know if there's anyone who pushes the pace constantly and grinds constantly like I do," he said. "And for him to have his first fight at 170 against an opponent like that, it's not gonna be fun."
So is Brenneman is taking a page from the playbook of Noke's teammate, Clay Guida, and looking to make his opponent miserable for 15 minutes or less in Toronto?
"Me and (coach) Mike (Constantino) were talking, and one of the things he specifically said was that you want to make him so tired and so miserable that he's gonna look for a way out. He's gonna look for a way to have the fight finished, and that's something I'll jump on if I have the opportunity."
As for the difficulties that Noke presents, Brenneman says that they're everywhere.
"Erick Silva is a crazy Muay Thai kickboxer, Johny Hendricks is a stud at wrestling, Anthony Johnson is the biggest guy in the weight class, and Kyle brings a well-rounded approach to the fight," said Brenneman, comparing Noke to previous foes. "It's one of those fights that I don't have to necessarily be on the lookout for one thing; I kinda have to be on the lookout for everything."
He's prepared for that though, and having talked fighting with Brenneman since his UFC debut in 2010 against Jason High, he's never sounded more relaxed or confident. It's as if there's nothing to be thrown at him that he hasn't seen before, and with that knowledge in his head, it's all good things from here on out.
"I hate saying it because you do interviews and you say the same stuff before every fight, but if you really and truly ask me, physically and mentally, how I feel for this fight, it's the best I ever felt," he said. "There's no pressure, and it's fun. I was thinking of my walkout song and I think I'm gonna go back to the old school stuff I was into back in the day, and I just want to go out, not put any pressure on myself, and have fun and enjoy the moment because this is my life, this is my career, and I'm living it right now."

With cataract surgery, your ophthalmologist removes the cataract-diseased lens of your eye. The ophthalmologist then replaces your natural lens with an artificial one.
The Procedure
This outpatient procedure is generally safe and takes less than an hour. Your ophthalmologist will dilate your pupil with eye drops and administer local anesthetic eye drops. You may also be prescribed a sedative to counter anxiety.
Once your eye surgeon has made a small, self-sealing incision in the eye, he or she performs a step called phacoemulsification. During this step of the procedure, the ophthalmologist inserts a thin probe into the cataractous lens and uses ultrasound waves to break it up, before suctioning out the pieces.
Once your eye surgeon removes your cataract, he or she implants an intraocular lens (IOL). IOLs come in a wide variety of materials and functions. Some help with both near and distant vision, similar to bifocals. Others block ultraviolet light. You and your doctor will discuss the best type for you.
If you need cataract surgery in both eyes, your doctor will likely recommend doing one at a time, with a healing period in between.
Usually, you can go home on the day of your surgery. However, you'll need to arrange for somebody to drive you home from the surgical facility. You might also need help around the house, as your doctor may restrict bending and lifting for a few days.
Expect mild discomfort, light sensitivity, fluid discharge and itching for a few days after surgery. For a short period of time after surgery, you may need to wear a patch or eye shield while sleeping or take medications that control eye pressure.
Your eye doctor will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress. Once healed, you'll get a new prescription for eyeglasses, if necessary.
After surgery, some people develop a secondary cataract, also called posterior capsule opacification. Eye surgeons can usually treat a secondary cataract with a quick, painless outpatient procedure.
Cataracts are usually treated safely and successfully. However, risks — while uncommon — do exist. These include swelling, infection, inflammation, retinal detachment, glaucoma and loss of vision. People with serious medical conditions or other eye diseases are at increased risk of complications.
If you suspect you need cataract surgery, call us today to discuss your options.

Cracked Teeth
Whether your tooth has cracked due to an injury or general wear and tear, you can experience a variety of symptoms ranging from erratic pain when you chew your food to sudden pain when your tooth is exposed to very hot or cold temperatures.
There are many different types of cracked teeth. The treatment and outcome for your tooth depend on the type, location, and extent of the crack. The sooner your tooth is treated, the better the outcome. Once treated most cracked teeth continue to function as they should, for many years of pain-free biting and chewing.
Internal Bleaching
Internal bleaching treatment is recommended after a tooth undergoes staining from within the tooth itself. Typically, this is due to a structural defect within the tooth, a dying tooth, or because blood and other bodily fluids penetrated the tooth during prior root canal treatment. Regardless of the cause, it's possible to restore such a tooth to match the color of its adjacent teeth by bleaching the tooth from the inside-out – a process known as internal tooth bleaching.
For more information on internal bleaching contact our office at 281-363-0500.
A pulpotomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed in children who are experiencing pain from a cavity. Underneath the exterior of a tooth is a pocket filled with nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. This is known as the "pulp" of the tooth. The procedure is required when a pulp of the tooth has been exposed by a bad cavity. This can be very painful because the sensitive nerves and tissue are vulnerable.
If your child is complaining of a toothache, it might be because he or she has a large cavity. In this case, we'll do a pulpotomy, a common procedure for decayed baby molars, to remove the damaged pulp.
For more information on cavities, or dental care for your child call Lifetime Dental of The Woodlands at 281-363-0500 to schedule an appointment.
Root Canal Therapy
According to the American Association of Endodontists, root canal therapy is the most feared dental procedure of all. Despite this stigma, root canal therapy is actually a pain-free, quick and relatively comfortable procedure. In fact, it relieves your pain and can prevent more complicated oral issues down the road.
A root canal is a term used to describe the natural cavity in the center of a tooth. This area contains a soft area known as the pulp chamber that houses the nerves. If this area becomes irritated or infected due to cavities, trauma or decay, root canal therapy is necessary. If left untreated, the infection can cause an abscess, which can lead to swelling of the face and neck and bone loss around the roots of teeth.

By Scott Johnson
The third time was a charm for Ken Griffey Jr.
Having stumbled through his first two good-byes to the city of Seattle, he finally made an exit Saturday night that was memorable for all the right reasons.
One of the biggest stars in Seattle sports history was a heroic figure again, and he hit every note with perfect pitch. On the night when he became the seventh member of the Mariners' Hall of Fame, all else was forgotten.
There was no mention of his trade demands following the 1999 season, which eventually led to an unceremonious exit as he packed his bags for Cincinnati. Nor did anyone seem to remember the way his second tour of duty ended abruptly, with a legendary 2010 phone call from Montana — on an unannounced drive to Florida — to tell the Mariners he was calling it quits.
Griffey recalled the latter incident during his Friday press conference, when he made no apologies and said he never wanted to be a distraction. Comfortable with the spotlight for his entire playing career, Griffey preferred to be out of it when the end came.
And so there he was Saturday night, back on the proverbial stage for a moment that seemed long overdue.
The stands were filled for the first time all season. About 80 percent of the Mariners jerseys in the stands were sporting the No. 24, a number that was also painted in centerfield. A pre-game video featuring interviews with current Mariners Felix Hernandez and Raul Ibanez but also included major league stars from elsewhere, such as Boston's David Ortiz, the Angels' Mike Trout, ex-Royals star Bo Jackson and Hall of Famer Willie Mays.
Even Ichiro Suzuki, wearing a New York Yankees uniform and speaking in perfect English, was shown turning his hat backward before calling Griffey "my hero."
"A once-in-a-lifetime player," gushed Angels manager Mike Scioscia on the video screen. No one at Safecowas arguing.
As the video played, a group of Mariners legends including Randy Johnson, Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner and Dan Wilson filed in to be among the people sitting behind Griffey on the field in a stadium once famously called by radio announcer Dave Niehaus, "The house that Griffey built." Current Mariners players stood in the dugout, each with his hat turned backward, and looked on as if Shoeless Joe had just walked through an Iowa cornfield.
When it was time for Griffey to speak, he at one point turned to the Mariners dugout and addressed the current players.
"We were just like you," he said. "We grew up. We believed in each other, and we made it happen. And you guys can do it too."
He also defended the three most high-profile members of the longtime front office, saying of oft-criticized execs Howard Lincoln, Chuck Armstrong and John Ellis: "If you think these three guys don't want to win, you're sorely mistaken . . . They want to win and bring a championship to this city."
Griffey pitched the proverbial perfect game. The scene played out just as longtime Mariners fans would have wanted, with the legendary hero returning for one last goodbye – and this time, no controversy.
It was hard not to notice that the team in the other dugout, the Milwaukee Brewers, was playing without its most recent superstar because of a suspension for PED use; Griffey is often seen as one of the only great sluggers from his generation whose name has never been tied to steroids.
Griffey's great moment scame between the lines, and there he was again. Fans couldn't take their eyes off him.
A final time, Griffey was greeted with a standing ovation. He broke into tears as fans remained on their feet through the hour-long ceremony – delaying the start of the game by more than 30 minutes.
As he walked up to the podium to speak, wiping away tears, fans began chanting his name.
When Griffey finally addressed them, he said: "I can honestly say I am thankful to be a part of the Seattle Mariners."
While a memory will linger of Griffey of his last time in uniform as a 40-something star who fell asleep in the clubhouse and eventually left his team, Saturday night seemed to make all that go away.
The smile, the sweet swing, the slide into home, the Spiderman catch and trademark backward hat – that's what Griffey left Saturday night.

Ohio is making history as a leader in the fuel cell industry from the perspective of technology development and manufacturing, including both system integration and supply chain. The technology is deceptively basic and very clean. It utilizes an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to create electrical energy. Heat and water are the by-products, rather than harmful carbon emissions, which are the result of a traditional fuel combustion process that has been a primary method of electricity generation for decades. The U.S. Department of Energy rates fuel cells between 40 to 60 percent energy efficient, while the typical internal combustion engine is about 25 percent energy efficient. A valuable aspect of the technology in my opinion is the flexibility of a fuel cell's power distribution capabilities. A fuel cell can be set up locally, independent of the grid, to power a building, complex or neighborhood. When a powerful snowstorm, like the one that just hit the East Coast, causes a grid outage, the fuel cell can still maintain power. Hospitals, prisons and the telecommunications sector are examples of entities that have come to rely on fuel cells as back-up power. Ohio has a very current and real opportunity in the fuel cell industry. An issue holding it back from broad commercialization, the cost per kilowatt hour, is rapidly being minimized. The Breakthrough Technologies Institute (BTI) has recognized Ohio as one of the top five states in fuel cell manufacturing. The state's Ohio Third Frontier program has invested over $85 million in fuel cell research. The Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition is actively working to support and accelerate the technology. The Coalition states there is a component from Ohio in every fuel cell shipped. "Over the years we've seen the industry evolve, and right now we're on a significant upturn," said Pat Valente, executive director of the Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition. "Some of this may be because of the economy, but it's also because of the maturity of the industry." Among other things, the industry in Northeast Ohio is influencing the evolution of fuel cell technology through the Stark State College Fuel Cell Technology Prototype Center in North Canton. The center aids companies in the pre-commercialization stage of development. The anchor tenant is LG Fuel Cell Systems, Inc., which has a focus on grid level power generation. LG Fuel Cell Systems is the new name for the entity after conglomerate LG Electronics invested $45 million into Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems, Inc. This is the kind of attention our fuel cell industry is attracting. Manufacturing represents three significant opportunities for the Northeast Ohio fuel cell industry: • Reforming technology which includes the conversion of natural gas into hydrogen from the abundant Utica shale resource: Garrettsville-based Catacel Corporation is working on solutions that include catalytic and heat-exchanging materials and tightly integrated fuel reforming and combustor/reformer packages. • Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) for portable power: Cleveland-based Technology Management, Inc. (TMI) and Lockheed Martin have been awarded a $3 million contract from the Office of Naval Research to incorporate solar panels with solid oxide fuel cells to provide portable power for electronics and equipment in the field. • Bipolar plates: GrafTech International in Lakewood produces graphite plates that improve fuel cell power density and performance. Northeast Ohio is also actively using the technology. The Greater Cleveland Transit Authority, in partnership with the NASA Glenn Research Center, has leased a 40-foot bus powered by fuel cell technology. It is currently in use in East Cleveland. Ohio was also chosen to host the 2013 Fuel Cell Seminar & Energy Exposition (FCS&EE) from October 21-24 in Columbus. This nationally recognized event that will bring attention to Ohio's manufacturing, workforce and supply chain capabilities in the field. The bottom line is that fuel cells are ramping up for commercialization in Northeast Ohio and across the state, from both a manufacturing and business use standpoint. Natural gas now being harvested as a result of the Ohio shale play can lead to a plentiful and economical source of hydrogen to power a variety of fuel cell systems, leading to expansion of the industry in Ohio. We've got the know-how and resources to power this clean and efficient technology into the future.

A lawyer for New York Times reporter James Risen is citing new Justice Department guidelines about when to subpoena journalists to support his argument that Risen is covered by a common-law reporter's privilege and need not testify about a former CIA agent who allegedly served as his source.
In a letter to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on Thursday, attorney Joel Kurtzberg quotes liberally from a report last week from the Justice Department that tightened its policies for issuing subpoenas to reporters in criminal investigations. President Obama ordered a review that led to the report amid widespread criticism this year that federal prosecutors overreached when they obtained records of phone calls made by Associated Press reporters and editors and when they searched Fox News reporter James Rosen's phone records. Both actions came during leak investigations.
The July 12 Justice Department report said, "The Department views the use of tools to seek evidence from or involving the news media as an extraordinary measure," going on to describe such steps as a "last resort."
The federal appeals court based in Richmond, Va., is weighing whether Risen should be forced to testify against Jeffrey Sterling, a onetime CIA operative who faces criminal Espionage Act charges for disclosing classified information that appeared in Risen's 2006 book State of War. A lower court judge ruled that Risen was protected by a common law privilege, a decision that prosecutors have appealed, arguing that reporters deserve no special protection in criminal cases. A coalition of media groups that includes NPR has filed a friend of the court brief in the case supporting Risen.
Kurtzberg, the lawyer for Risen, says the Justice Department report gives him new ammunition in that fight.
"In other words, the standard that the DOJ now articulates in the report is the very same standard that the government argues should not be applied to Mr. Risen by the court in this case," Kurtzberg writes. "The DOJ's recent change in position is nothing less than an admission that the legal standard it asks this court to apply provides wholly inadequate protection for the interests at stake in this case."
A lawyer for Sterling, Barry Pollack, points out the long delays in the case, which was indicted in 2011 and has yet to go to trial.
"This is a fight between the Department of Justice and Mr. Risen," Pollack says in an email to NPR. "Jeffrey Sterling, who served his country admirably, remains in legal limbo as the Department of Justice continues to pursue a leak from a decade ago."
A Justice Department spokesman had no immediate comment.
Update at 5:30 p.m. ET. Justice Says It Will Respond In Court:
"We will respond at the appropriate time in court," Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr says in an email to NPR.

Elkanah and His Family at Shiloh. 1There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim. His name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.a 2He had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah; Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3Each year this man went up from his city to worship and offer sacrifice to the LORD of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were ministering as priests of the LORD.b 4When the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice, he used to give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters, 5but he would give a double portion to Hannah because he loved her, though the LORD had closed her womb.c 6Her rival,* to upset her, would torment her constantly, since the LORD had closed her womb.d 7Year after year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, Peninnah would provoke her, and Hannah would weep and refuse to eat.* 8Elkanah, her husband, would say to her: "Hannah, why are you weeping? Why are you not eating? Why are you so miserable? Am I not better for you than ten sons?"e
Hannah's Prayer. 9Hannah rose after one such meal at Shiloh, and presented herself before the LORD; at the time Eli the priest was sitting on a chair near the doorpost of the LORD's temple. 10In her bitterness she prayed to the LORD, weeping freely, 11and made this vow: "O LORD of hosts, if you look with pity on the hardship of your servant, if you remember me and do not forget me, if you give your handmaid a male child, I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life. No razor shall ever touch his head."* f 12As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth, 13for Hannah was praying silently; though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. Eli, thinking she was drunk, 14said to her, "How long will you make a drunken spectacle of yourself? Sober up from your wine!" 15"No, my lord!" Hannah answered. "I am an unhappy woman. I have had neither wine nor liquor; I was only pouring out my heart to the LORD. 16Do not think your servant a worthless woman; my prayer has been prompted by my deep sorrow and misery." 17Eli said, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have requested." 18She replied, "Let your servant find favor in your eyes," and left. She went to her quarters, ate and drank with her husband, and no longer appeared downhearted. 19Early the next morning they worshiped before the LORD, and then returned to their home in Ramah. When they returned Elkanah had intercourse with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.
Hannah Bears a Son. 20She conceived and, at the end of her pregnancy, bore a son whom she named Samuel.* "Because I asked the LORD for him." 21The next time her husband Elkanah was going up with the rest of his household to offer the customary sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vows, 22Hannah did not go, explaining to her husband, "Once the child is weaned, I will take him to appear before the LORD and leave him there forever."* 23Her husband Elkanah answered her: "Do what you think best; wait until you have weaned him. Only may the LORD fulfill his word!" And so she remained at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.g
Hannah Presents Samuel to the Lord. 24Once he was weaned, she brought him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah* of flour, and a skin of wine, and presented him at the house of the LORD in Shiloh. 25After they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the child to Eli. 26Then Hannah spoke up: "Excuse me, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here near you, praying to the LORD. 27I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my request. 28Now I, in turn, give him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he shall be dedicated to the LORD." Then they worshiped there before the LORD.
* [1:6] Her rival: Hebrew sara, "rival wife, co-wife"; in the Talmud, a technical term for a second or co-wife.
* [1:7] In biblical narrative, the social status gained by producing children, especially males, often set woman against woman; cf. e.g., Gn 16, 21, 30. Peninnah's provocations may be the arrogant boasting mentioned in 2:3.
* [1:11] No razor…: the Septuagint adds "he shall drink neither wine nor liquor." This addition is a further suggestion that Samuel is dedicated to God under a nazirite vow (Nm 6:4–5); see note on v. 22.
* [1:20] Samuel: Hannah's explanation associates her son's name with the narrative's wordplay on the Hebrew verbs s'l ("ask," vv. 17, 27), his'il ("hand over, dedicate," v. 28), sa'ul ("dedicated," v. 28), and the noun se'elah ("request," vv. 17, 27). The name, however, is related to the Hebrew root s'l only through assonance. It means "his name is El/God," not "the one requested of or dedicated (sa'ul) to God" (v. 28), which is the meaning of the name Saul. The author may have lifted the s'l wordplay from a narrative about Saul to portray Samuel as God's gracious answer to Hannah's request.
* [1:22] Leave him there forever: a Qumran manuscript adds "I will give him as a nazirite forever"; it interprets v. 11 to mean that Hannah dedicates Samuel under a nazirite vow (cf. Nm 6:4–5).
* [1:24] Ephah: see note on Is 5:10.
a. [1:1] 1 Chr 6:19–20.
b. [1:3] Ex 23:14–17; 34:23; Dt 16:16; Jgs 21:19.

"When you pray, say: Father…"
"In the depths of our being the Spirit of the Son continually cries Abba, Father!" (Gal 4:6).
Thus begins Chapter II of our Constitutions on Prayer Life.
Jesus has left as a legacy to those who follow Him a prayer that condenses, in a few words, the most intimate of His experience of God, His faith in the Kingdom, and His concern for the world. Our prayer to God is meant to be like His: for the Kingdom and for the world. "Prayer, which is of itself evangelizing, stimulates and strengthens our missionary thrust. It welcomes and makes its own the cultural riches of peoples, as it brings before God their hopes and their praise" (CS 2, 12).
The Eucharist, Mary of the Passion tells us, is the center of our life. Eucharist, thanksgiving. This 'thanksgiving' can take different forms: community prayer and personal prayer. But most of all, in communion with God and with our brothers and sisters, and "in welcoming His presence our life becomes prayer" (CS 2, 8).
The liturgy celebrated in community is 'divine worship', the prayer of the Church, of the People of God. It is God Himself who acts and, by His action, we are drawn to be transformed in Him. In order to help us in a liturgical prayer lived as a proclamation of the Gospel and of charity in action, this section proposes a calendar with the feasts of the saints that concern us more especially: saints of our Institute, Franciscan saints, etc., and some schemas of celebrations. The manner of praying of a group expresses its special relationship with God and constitutes an experience that binds all its members together in the same faith.
What is essential is that our prayer, both community and personal, while being prayer of the Church, be marked by our culture, our experiences, the moment we live, the trials we go through, the joys we feel, the transformations that accompany us…

Sleep Apnea
We're concerned about the overall health of our patients, including their sleep health. Many people suffer needlessly from dangerous sleep disruptive disorders that keep them from getting enough oxygen at night. The risk of a heart attack is 23 times more likely than average with a sleep disorder, and 92% of stroke victims live unknowingly with this condition before an attack. Our training allows us to offer you education and treatment surrounding sleep health in the simplest and most cost-effective way possible.
Estimates suggest that more than twelve million Americans compromise their health due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Most cases remain undiagnosed, contributing to diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and traffic accidents related to drowsy driving. Dentistry serves a vital role in treating this silent epidemic. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends oral appliances as a primary therapy for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and for patients with severe sleep apnea who can't tolerate CPAP treatment.
What is OSA?
OSA is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep due to a blockage in the airway. Obstructions occur when throat muscles, tongue, tonsils, or the soft palate falls back into the throat. The obstruction results in a severe drop in blood oxygen levels throughout the night.
OSA is typically diagnosed using a polysomnogram or a sleep study. During a sleep study, a sleep physician monitors brain activity and body system functioning while a patient rests overnight at a sleep lab. The specialist evaluates the study data collected to diagnose sleep disorders and recommend treatment. If indicated by the sleep doctor, a dentist trained in sleep medicine works with him/her to treat obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy. In some cases, a home sleep study may also be possible instead of reporting to a sleep lab.
How Is OSA Treated?
Treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea may involve surgery, CPAP or BiPAP machines, or oral appliance therapy. Oral appliances provide the least invasive option and often a good choice for treatment of mild to moderate OSA. A carefully calibrated appliance can comfortably help hold the jaw in a precise position throughout the night, allowing critical oxygen flow.
All treatment recommendations should be made in consultation with your sleep physician. Once a treatment path that you can use consistently is chosen, we may be able to provide critical support for your efforts. If appliance therapy is selected, it's essential the right method and positioning are designed to precisely maintain your airway.

Dimensions (centimeters): 5.08 centimeters by 1.27 centimeters rectangle
Application Guidelines
This Vestax logo badge is self-adhesive and can be attached to a flat or slightly curved, clean and smooth surface.

How many of you keep track of the changing season with the coming and going of fruit and vegetables? I really do. And almost every year right about now I start to panic as I realize we are heading towards the cooler time of the year.
Asparagus came and went, the last of the cherries can be spotted in the stores and my favorite this season, berries are becoming harder to find.
I am buying in bulk now to freeze and help me get through my fruit and veggie cravings during the winter. Yes I am currently living a squirrels nightmare. Hogging and saving for colder and rainy days.
Often when Tom comes home he is greeted with a kitchen that looks more like a production line of a busy factory. Washing and drying, pitting or peeling, cutting, spreading, freezing on trays and then finally placing in bags and freezing again. If I am making purees, sauces or stock - add cooking or steaming to the production line. Soeren is always a great help and we often have a ball in the kitchen together.
At the moment we've zeroed our focus on apricots. This year the apricots have been extremely sweet and have a gorgeous ripe aroma. This is actually the first time we're freezing apricots and I have already made a nice large amount of apricot puree. The next thing we want to do is freeze the fruit. I've never done this before nor have I ever tasted apricots after they have been frozen, my neighbor however swears they are great for desserts. So, I am hoping that after the next trip to the Farmers Market we will be able to save enough to freeze.
It's hard - they taste so good and every time we go to the fridge to take something out, the rosy, golden fruit shine brightly at us. We simply cannot resist the temptation to quickly grab one. Before I can get anywhere near the freezing process most of them have already disappeared.
I've also been making a few spontaneous desserts with them. Recently we had some friends over for dinner, I had to plunder my apricots - that were meant to end up in the freezer - for a quick, on-the-spur-of-the-moment dessert.
Clafoutis is actually the perfect dessert for fruit of many types. It's made quickly and tastes heavenly. The batter is somewhat similar to a pancake batter and all you do is bake it with the fruit in the oven. Presto - you have a fantastic tasting dessert leaving a beautiful aroma of freshly baked fruits in the air. Cherries are used commonly for this dessert, but I thought ripe baked apricots would do perfect justice to my clafoutis.
Beautiful small orange colored fruits with velvety skin and flesh. Apricots are a gorgeous and delicate fruit that can be enjoyed throughout summer. Ripe apricots are plump and juicy and have a delicate aroma. The flavor lies somewhere between a plum and a peach with a musky, slightly tart taste. Apricots can be enjoyed from May through to August and one really should take full advantage of the fruits.
Relative to the peach, apricots are full of beta-carotene, fibre and an excellent source of vitamin C. According to the American Cancer Society, apricots, and other foods rich in carotenes, may lower the risk of cancers of the larynx, esphagus, and lungs. Apricots also provide potassium, iron, calcium, silicon, phosphorus.
Apricots contain nutrients such as vitamin A that promote good vision. Vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant, reduces free radical damage to cells and tissues. Furthermore, the high beta-carotene and lycopene activity of apricots makes them important heart health foods.
A healthy, whole food diet should include apricots as a delicious way to add to the fiber intake.
Dried apricots are a great alternative during the winter months. Although the dried fruit is more expensive as it takes five pounds of fresh apricots to produce only one pound of dried; and, since drying removes only the water, the nutrient qualities are extremely powerful. Compared to the fresh, dried apricots have twelve times the iron, seven times the fiber, and five times the Vitamin A!
Organically grown apricots have a superior flavor when fresh. Although their appearance is not as appealing when dried, they have not been bleached or colored. Organic apricots have not been treated with preservatives and become darker in color. They have a caramelized, almost fig-like flavor. Buying organic apricots is recommended because sulfur dioxide has caused some allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock in people sensitive to sulfites.
Selecting and Storing:
Look for plump, fairly firm fruit with an orange-yellow to orange color at the stores or Farmers Markets. Fully ripe fruit is soft to the touch, juicy and should be eaten as soon as possible. If they are too firm they have not been tree-ripened, and tree-ripened fruits always taste best.
Keep apricots cool to prevent over ripening. Store ripe apricots in the refrigerator where they may keep for up to a week. Hard apricots can be put in a paper bag and let ripen for a day or two. Avoid buying green fruit as these will not ripen.
To freeze fresh apricots, simply half the fruit and place on baking sheet until frozen. Then pack in a plastic freezer bag.
Interesting Fact:
Both the fresh and dried apricot are a main food staple of a tiny Hunza principality in the Himalayas, who are known for their extreme longevity, excellent health, and an almost exclusive vegetarian diet.
More great ideas to enjoy apricots:
- Add dried apricots to your muesli
- Make an apricot puree and serve with pancakes
- Enjoy a salad with juicy slices of apricots.
- Add dried apricots to a chicken stew for a Middle Eastern flavor
- Make an apricot crumble, chutney or preserve
- Make a fruity apricot ice cream
- Enjoy a decadent Apricot Daquiri with the girls
- Dried apricots are great to make compotes and enjoyed on desserts

Important Announcement: I have unfortunately deleted an entry by mistake that landed in my spam. It was from a Toni.

I am extremely sorry about the inconvenience!
500g ripe apricots - cut in halves, then sliced
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (e.g. Grand Marnier)
4 eggs - separated
pinch of salt
50g + 50g sugar
100g flour
1 vanilla bean - insides scraped
6 tablespoons cream
2 tablespoons almond slices
butter for the forms
icing sugar to decorate
Pre-heat oven to 150 degrees C.
Put the apricot slices in a bowl and pour the orange liqueur over them. Mix and allow to steep for 30 minutes.
Whisk the egg yolks, salt, 50g sugar and the vanilla into a foamy mixture. Fold in the flour and cream into the mixture.
In a separate bowl beat the eggs until slightly foamy then drizzle the 50g sugar, beating continuously until glossy, stiff peaks are formed. Gently fold in the egg white mixture into the flour/egg yolk mixture in two batches.
Fill the batter in four small or one large buttered oven-proof form. Spread the apricot slices over the batter. Sprinkle the almond slices over the top.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Take out and sieve icing sugar over the top.
Serve immediately.
There is always something comforting about a warm baked dessert. Even when it's hot outside I will find a certain solace in such desserts. The apricots in this clafoutis were baked to perfection. They were still juicy and gave the entire dessert an exceptionally fruity aromatic note. It's perfect the way it is but for an extra couple of bonus points from your guests, add a serving of vanilla ice-cream!
Marta has a great new event going, which I really am enjoying. Fresh Produce of the Month really encourages me to use the lovely, fresh produce that is currently in season. For her second session, Marta has chosen Apricots and I think I'll be sending her a a nice big helping of my apricot clafoutis.

Winchester makes the highest quality brass available, and each and every piece is made to meet and exceed the most demanding quality control and performance standards in the industry. This brass is limited production brass. It is very rarely produced due to lower demand. Take advantage of this opportunity to purchase some rare, high quality brass. New, unprimed brass. This is not loaded ammunition.
- Due to the manufacturing process and/or shipping, case mouths may not be perfectly round. To ensure a round case mouth, cases must be sized (or have the expander ball of the sizing die run through case neck) and deburred/Chamfered prior to loading.
- A light "staining" may be found on the case neck of new brass. This is due to annealing. Annealing is a process, performed by the manufacturer, which involves rapid heating to a specified temperature followed by rapid cooling. This process imparts cases with the proper hardness to securely hold a bullet as well as gives flexibility to expand and contract upon firing and repeated forming. The "staining" is a residue from this process. This stain may be removed by tumbling before loading. Brass should be full-length sized, trimmed and chamfered before loading.

Finally this hour, NASCAR nastiness. This past Saturday, one team appeared to pull out all the stops to rig a big race. One driver spun out his car, and another took an unnecessary pit stop. Both moves helped advance their teammate to the playoffs. NASCAR fined their team - Michael Waltrip Racing - $300,000, and suspended their general manager indefinitely.
Now, this is the biggest fine in NASCAR history, according to Nate Ryan. He's a senior motorsports reporter for USA Today Sports. He joins us from Charlotte, N.C. Hey there, Nate.
NATE RYAN: Hi, Audie. Thanks for having me.
CORNISH: So first, talk us through the basics. What were they trying to accomplish, and what happened?
RYAN: Well, essentially, they were trying to manipulate the results of the race, Audie, to get Martin Truex Jr., their driver, into the chase for the Sprint Cup, which is the championship playoff. There was one wild-card spot available. Clint Bowyer, his teammate, was already in the championship. So he could have a bad result in that race, and still qualify. So Michael Waltrip Racing essentially had its two drivers in a position where they could perform in lesser ways in order to get Martin Truex Jr. into that wild-card spot.
CORNISH: And the way that people figured this out was to listen to the radio chatter from the cars, right?
RYAN: Correct. What's unusual about NASCAR is that all of the drivers and teams communicate on an analog channel, which all of the fans have access to, all of the media have access to, NASCAR has access to. And in the case of Clint Bowyer, there were some suspicious radio chatter - it was in code - which basically caused fans and media to wonder, you know, was Michael Waltrip Racing trying to manipulate the results of this race, and have their drivers essentially take a fall in the closing laps in order to get Martin Truex Jr., their third teammate, into the chase?
CORNISH: So here's a little snippet of some of that code you were talking about. This is some chatter between the crew chief, Brian Pattie, and this driver, Bowyer.
CORNISH: So he says it's hot in there. Itch it. And then right after that, the car spins. What happened?
RYAN: Well, Clint Bowyer claims that it was an unintentional spin, that he just lost control. But if you look at the video, even for a casual NASCAR fan, I think it looks rather damning; that he intentionally is spinning the wheel out of control in a manner that will spin the car, and bring out the caution flag. Now, Bowyer also claimed in the aftermath of this that he had poison oak on his arm, and that that was...
RYAN: ...what his crew chief, Brian Pattie, was referring to; that he had an itch. But of course, well, that seems a little bit strange and suspicious, doesn't it?
CORNISH: Now, how rare is a punishment this big?
RYAN: It's rare. I think the reason that we saw such an unprecedented display of discipline, Audie, is because - you know, NASCAR is a sport that's always been beset by conspiracy theories, whether it's oversized engines or curiously timed caution flags that help certain drivers. But rarely has there been such a preponderance of tangible evidence. It's never been so overt that a conspiracy appeared to be unfolding right in front of everyone's eyes. And I think that's why NASCAR elected to take such action, in this case.
CORNISH: Nate Ryan, how are the fans feeling about all this?
RYAN: They're very angry, Audie. They were lighting up Twitter and Facebook from 11 o'clock Saturday night on, and it's been incessant since then. And NASCAR is monitoring that. They have this new fan and media engagement center, where they're able to track in real time what fans are saying about their sport; and they prepare reports after every race. And I'm sure that that played a role, and might have been the impetus for NASCAR reacting so quickly and so harshly, in this instance.
I think, though, the big takeaway is that there's a little bit of a void in the penalty here for NASCAR, in that they didn't do anything to offer assurances that this won't happen again. Essentially, what I thought was the message they delivered is, here's a really big penalty we're going to impose on teams that attempt to manipulate or orchestrate races this way. But it's going to be solely through deterrence that we're asking you not to do it again. They didn't offer any assurances that they would be able to police or monitor this in a better way next time, and perhaps stamp out such team orders coming into play in the future.
CORNISH: Nate Ryan - he's senior motorsports reporter for USA Today Sports. Nate, thanks so much for explaining it.
RYAN: It's my pleasure, Audie. Thanks for having me.

Same Day Dentistry Solvang, CA
If you are looking for solutions to any esthetic challenges with your smile or any oral health problems, call our office for same day dentistry. We are conveniently located in Solvang, and you can schedule an appointment by calling (805) 686-2492. In our dental office, we are passionate about oral health and believe in the critical nature of preventative dental care. For this reason, we recommend having your teeth professionally cleaned and examined once or twice a year. Our objective is to use these appointments to prevent many common oral health problems like cavities and gum disease. While our hope is that all of our patients receive this regular dental care, we know that many people are concerned about the time it will take for this or other procedures. When you visit our dental office, you can be confident that we will perform your teeth cleaning and examination promptly and comfortably. In most cases, your appointment will be over before your lunch break ends.
Same Day Dentistry and Teeth Whitening
If you are looking to see a rapid improvement to the appearance of your teeth, we recommend that you schedule a teeth whitening procedure. This same day dentistry solution can whiten your teeth by eight shades or more in a single office visit. To do so, we place a whitening solution on your teeth that is activated by a special laser light. The solution will penetrate the enamel and begin the process of oxidization. This is where the molecules inside of your teeth will change to reflect less light and appear colorless. As it does, your teeth will appear bright and white. This is typically the fastest way for you to see a significant improvement to the esthetics of your smile. If you live in or near the 93463 area, call 805-686-2492 to schedule an appointment with our Solvang dentist office so that you can enjoy living with a more beautiful smile.
Same Day Dentistry and Dental Bonding
At Catherine Streegan DMD, A Dental Corporation, we offer dental bonding as a way to improve the appearance of your teeth and to restore teeth that have been damaged in an accident. In a bonding procedure, the enamel on your teeth will remain intact, making this solution entirely reversible if you choose to use a different type of restoration in the future. The process can be completed in one day by roughening up the surface of your tooth prior to shaping the bonding material. Created to mimic the natural shade of your teeth, it is shaped prior to being hardened in place for a natural looking restoration. This procedure is certainly ideal for children, given how quickly it can be completed. Many adults also use this option when they are pressed for time and looking for an immediate restoration. The only challenge is that the bonding material will not be as durable as a dental crown would be, making it essential to discuss the pros and cons of the procedure.

Same Day Dentistry and Dental Crowns
If your tooth has experienced significant damage, you will likely need a dental crown to restore its appearance and to strengthen it. It is critical that you visit our Solvang dental office as soon as possible after damaging your tooth. If you leave the damaged area exposed, bacteria can infect the center of your tooth. This can create the need for a root canal to be completed. If the infection becomes severe, like a dental abscess, more drastic steps may be required to drain the pus. This is an unfortunate but entirely avoidable situation. If you simply have the damaged tooth restored immediately, the risk of a bacterial infection goes down significantly. At Catherine Streegan DMD, A Dental Corporation, we offer same day dentistry and dental crowns for patients throughout the Solvang, CA area. We do so using advanced technology. When a crown is traditional created, it is a process that involves the dental lab. First, an impression is taken of a patients' mouth, and measurements are taken. That information is then sent to the dental lab for the crown or crowns to be created which can take weeks to complete. In the meantime, the tooth is prepared by removing a portion of the enamel so that the crown will lay flat without irritating the surrounding teeth. To then protect the tooth, a temporary crown is placed around the prepared tooth and worn until the new one is ready. Due the multiple steps involved with this process, a patient could have one or two appointments before the permanent crown is secured to the tooth. While effective, the entire process is time-consuming and not within the reach of those with demanding work schedules or a busy home life. To address this issue, we offer same day dentistry where dental crowns can be created in our office, the day that you come in needing a restoration.
If you live in the 93463 area and have a damaged tooth, we recommend that you call (805) 686-2492 to schedule an appointment with our dental office. There is no need to wait for the dental lab to create a permanent crown for you when we offer a solution that can be completed in one day. This will allow you to walk in with a cracked or chipped tooth and leave with one that looks natural and is fully functional. Since crowns are also used for cosmetic applications, we can use this same technique to change the shape and size of your teeth, close gaps in between your teeth, cover dark stains, and more – all within one day. For those that need an immediate smile improvement, this is an excellent solution to explore.
The process works using advanced technology. We take a digital image of your mouth and upload it to our CAD/CAM software. The software then goes to work creating a 3D model of the tooth that is being restored. The model includes the exact dimensions of the crown. Our 3D printer then goes to work printing the crown while your tooth is being prepared. This is perhaps the most convenient way to restore your damaged tooth or to change the appearance of your smile. To learn more, call 805-686-2492 and visit our Solvang dental office today.

Horrible acts of violence have forced President Obama to speak to a shocked nation after several mass shootings — at a shopping center in Arizona, a Colorado movie theater, a Sikh temple in Wisconsin and, on Friday, a Connecticut elementary school.
Each time his sadness has been readily visible, mirroring the feelings of millions of Americans.
On Friday, with the national sense of shock perhaps greater than ever because of the ages and number of the victims, the president paused more than once as he sought to compose himself. At times, he appeared to wipe tears from the corner of an eye.
The president told the nation:
"The majority of those who died today were children — beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them — birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers — men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.
"So our hearts are broken today — for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who were lost. ..."
In his initial reaction to this latest tragedy, the president made more of a glancing pass at doing something to counter the sort of violence that occurred Friday than he had in initial statements after other shootings.
"As a country, we have been through this too many times. Whether it's an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago — these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children. And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."
