Yoga and other stretching exercises are great during pregnancy, since they strengthen key ligaments while relaxing areas that are tight and painful. Although it may seem easier to rest when you experience pain (especially back pain), and to avoid exercise, gentle stretching and movement often decreases muscle spasm and improves the function of the spine, resulting in less pain. Exercise also boosts energy levels and contributes to an easier labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery. Try stretching and relaxation techniques as a first resort for back pain.
If the pain is severe, ask your partner to massage the area. Ask your doctor if you can safely take any painkillers or if acupuncture might help ease your pain. If the area feels inflamed and painful, try placing a cold pack on the affected area for 5-10 minutes, several times a day.
I felt the same at about six months but found the last three months went quite fast just because more was happening. Along with more prenatal visits and classes, there was planning when to start maternity leave, then finishing work, then getting the nursery ready, and buying things for the baby. And I made an effort to see all my girlfriends-it all made the time pass quickly.
Your growing belly shifts your center of gravity to the front of your body. As the baby strains your abdominal muscles, and pregnancy hormones soften your ligaments, your abdominals give less support to your spine, which can result in back pain. Lifting and bending can exacerbate back pain, so try these strategies to help avoid added strain.

Wellness lifestyle
Wellness is being more efficient at work
Greater ability to make complex decisions, better concentration, increased creativity and resistance to stress - just a few of the benefits you will experience at work when you adopt a wellness lifestyle.

Wellness is feeling happier with yourself and other
The psychological benefits of a wellness lifestyle translate into a better, happier outlook. Rediscovering your equilibrium and being in tune with yourself is the key to a positive relationship with the environment and the other people you come in contact with.
Wellness is having more vitality later in life
In your present and future health, a wellness lifestyle benefits both the external appearance and internal workings of your body. This allows you to preserve your maximum psychophysical abilities over time, laying the foundation for happy and healthy later years.

6 Historical Events That Are Way More Modern Than You Think
#3. Biplanes in Military Service
In the early days of flying, half of the fun of getting in the air was impressing your friends with acrobatic feats and novelty stunts, and that was where the biplane came in handy.
"You know, we really should have brought a spare ball."
Sure, it was an awkward early start to what would eventually develop into sleek flying machines, but what could you expect from people who sat on poles for a good time? Thanks to jets and common sense, the clunky, laughably slow biplanes went the way of the flapper.
But Actually ...
Meet the extremely popular Russian-built Antonov An-2.
Dmitry A. Mottl
"The bottle of vodka under the seat may be used as a flotation device."
It looks better suited for pesticide dumping than strategic military purposes. Yet 50 different nations are still cleaving these clunkers to their military bosoms, and some of them, like Germany and China, aren't even that poor. They're using these relics on purpose! To find out why, we have to look harder at the planes themselves.
For one thing, the An-2 was designed for agricultural work, so it can fly pretty close to the ground. You'd think that would be a bad thing, on account of anti-aircraft guns and trees and such, but it's not. Because radar looks way higher when trying to detect aircraft, the An-2 can go unnoticed -- when you get close enough to the ground, radar loses you in the clutter.
Berry Vissers, Airliners.net
"Now we just have to hope they don't, like, use their eyes or anything."
And the other thing about the An-2 is that it can sustain flight at wicked slow speeds; we're talking 30 mph slow. Apparently, the wings have slats that stay closed until the plane hits school-zone speed, then the slats lift, which allows the plane to glide to the ground like a drifting autumn leaf. When you want to be sneaky, there aren't many better options.
That's why oil-starved North Korea switched from bigger, badder planes to the An-2 for reconnaissance missions as late as 2007, and why Croatia used them for bomb-dropping in the Croatian War for Independence in the early '90s. Can you imagine fighting a war today and seeing this thing coming after you? You'd be only slightly more surprised if you were attacked by Snoopy on his flying doghouse.
#2. World War II
Even if you don't know the exact date when WWII ended, you've seen the photographic evidence of the days it happened. And the kiss that apparently ended hostilities.
"The war isn't officially over until we consummate this peace."
Victory in Europe Day was May 8, 1945, and Victory over Japan Day was August 14, 1945, when the above liplock was taken. So, victory was declared, the Axis powers surrendered, war was over. Nothing could be simpler.
But Actually ...
What if we told you that, in very technical terms, the peace wasn't established in Germany until 1990? While some of us were wearing Hammer pants and Urkel was making grandmas everywhere laugh, World War II was still raging in Europe. And by "raging," we mean "quietly simmering in a crock pot no one noticed."
"Boy, that sure is one sour kraut."
At the heart of it was Germany, who was like a kid caught in the middle of a custody battle between the Soviets and USA in the postwar years. And lost in the shuffle over weekend visitation rights was the little fact that, technically, no one declared peace in Germany. When the war ended, the Allies created a provisional arrangement deciding how they would govern the mess that was the tatters of the German nation. And one of those stipulations was that once Germany got its denazified act together, a permanent peace treaty would be put in place, one that Germany could sign itself.
It never happened. The four powers who signed that provisional treaty -- the Soviet Union, United States, Great Britain and France -- quickly devolved into a room of exes who could no longer handle a simple family function together. In 1948, the Soviet representative on the council walked out altogether -- and never came back.
"Please to be fucking this noise."
Which meant that both Germanys, East and West, were under military occupation until the Berlin Wall fell and, in 1990, the Treaty on the Final Settlement With Respect to Germany was finally signed. In it, the four powers who provisionally took over back in 1945 FINALLY relinquished all authority they once had over the place. Which meant that East and West Germany could start the process of getting back together.
The whole thing was a big enough deal that it warranted some street-kissing of its own.
Gary Mark Smith
#1. Spouses of Civil War Veterans
This one's a no-brainer. The Civil War ended in 1865 -- almost 150 years ago. The very last Civil War veterans died back in the 1950s. What, are we going to hear about some Civil War era survivor revived from suspended animation, Captain America style? The freaking thing ended two lifetimes ago.
But Actually ...
While the last Civil War soldiers died in the '50s, their widows have lived into the new millennium. How is that possible? Prepare to get really grossed out.
This sweet old lady was Maudie Hopkins. She died in 2008.
Hopkins family photo, via Washington Times
But back in 1934, she was just a 19-year-old girl when 86-year-old Confederate veteran William Cantrell asked her to marry him. As a bonus, he promised her the deed to his house if she bit the bullet. She did, and they lived in icky wedded bliss for three whole years before he croaked.
To distract you from the accumulating mental images, here's a picture of terrible Civil War carnage.
And then there's Alberta Martin, who has a kind of similar story, but with a nasty twist. At age 21, Alberta married 81-year-old Confederate vet William Jasper Martin, mostly so she could get her hands on his pension to help raise her son from a previous marriage. Ten months later, she had a baby -- the last baby (presumably) sprung from the loins of a veteran of the Civil War. We say "presumably" because within two months of her husband's death, she remarried. His grandson. Mrs. Double Martin passed away in 2004.
Finally, there's Gertrude Janeway, the last widow of a Union soldier. Like the other ladies on this list, Gertrude married her very old beau as a teenager, but she got a whole 10 years with her lover before he passed away. Unlike the other ladies on this list, Gertrude collected his pension check from the United States government until the day she died in 2003. That $70 a month may have been modest, but it spanned three centuries.
We're going to guess that the century:erection ratio wasn't much better than 1:1.
If there's anything you should take from these ladies' stories, it's that you should never underestimate the power of a horny old man.

the beauty gives pleasure, but the thorns bring pain
a rose is a trade off for the worst
מאת qwerty472 9 ביולי, 2011
A lot of rap songs reference it (Bottoms Up -Trey Songz Ft. Nicki Minaj). It's actually spelled Rosé. It's an type of bottle of Champagne (Cristal).
2002 Louis Roederer "Cristal" Brut Rosé Champagne
מאת Casper C. 20 בינואר, 2011
Rose is the most amazing person you will ever know she has the wierdest sense of humor she is a dirty person but still so funny you cant help but ahng with her
When your boyfriend, girlfriend or partner makes you smile so much that your cheeks hurt and turn a rose pink colour. It usually happens when they say something nice over a text or on the phone.
man: "you look beautiful"
woman: "you just made me do a rose"
woman: "you just made me do a rose"
מאת somethingsmiling 19 ביוני, 2010
n. a term used in Florida (at least), and usually in convenience store type settings, for the 4 inch long glass tube that features a tiny plastic rose inside but is known by all, including the authorities, to really be intended for use as a crack cocaine smoking pipe. (A Tampa newscaster recently shocked many by presenting an expose on the sale of "roses" from behind the counters of several small grocery stores!)
Yeah, whattup Fergie! Give me two packsa Kool cancers and 3 roses, k bro?

A pretty flower, which has a variety of different colours, most vividly red.
Michael gave his girlfriend Alice a rose, because they were in love.
מאת SomeoneNew 28 באוגוסט, 2014
Used by prostitutes, Meaning a Benji or 100 dollar bill when the person doesn't want to plainly say I want money they usually add it in a discreet sentence that could be interpreted differently if you didn't already know what was up.
A hooker would say "you need to bring 1 rose" or "Roses are a girls best friend" that means you need to pay up sucka and she wants you to bring a friend with ya, Ben Franklin.. Can you dig it?

Palmetto Clean Energy (PaCE) Make a Contribution to the Solution.
What is Green Power?
Green power is electricity produced from resources – like the sun, wind, water and more – that do not pollute our environment. This type of energy is harnessed all over the world and is key to our country's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. But green power projects are more expensive than standard power generation, so we're helping the development by asking our communities for support.
Help develop more green power sources
Palmetto Clean Energy (PaCE) gives you the ability to support the development of green power sources throughout the state and the region. Here's how it works:

Ratzinger to Benedict: A hermeneutic of continuity
Joseph Ratzinger's life is often tracked by dividing it into discrete stages, notably the progressive of the Council, the reactionary of the post-conciliar era, and now the irenic pastor-pontiff of encyclicals like Deus Caritas Est etc. I tend to see more continuity than discontinuity (something he appreciates in himself), though with a distinct flowering of his inherent "Augustinian" pessimism (an overused phrase, but apt in Ratzinger's case, I think) since the 1960s. Other factors in his darkening vision of life in the church and the world might include more personal rather than ideological or theological factors, such as his innate distaste for the messy-ness of modern life (or much of anything) and for modern culture. He also enjoys mixing it up with his foes, which may be part and parcel of his careers as a theologian and as an upwardly mobile churchman. Every once in a while the "old" Ratzinger emerges, and reveals in plain terms what remains his worldview--as for example he does in this fairly routine address on vocations that he delivered this week to a group of Brazilian bishops:
Esteemed brothers, in the decades following the Second Vatican Council, some interpreted the openness not as a demand flowing from the missionary ardor of the Heart of Christ, but as a step toward secularization, perceiving there certain strong Christian values, such as equality, liberty, solidarity. They showed themselves ready to make concessions and discover areas of cooperation. We witnessed the interventions of some ecclesiastical officials in ethical debates, which responded to the expectations of public opinion, but which failed to speak of certain essential truths of the faith, such as sin, grace, theological life and the last things. Without realizing it, many ecclesial communities fell into self-secularization. Hoping to charm those who were not joining, they saw many of their members leave, cheated and disillusioned. When our contemporaries come to us, they want to see something that they do not see elsewhere, namely, joy and the hope that springs from the fact that we are with the Risen Lord.At present there is a new generation born in this secularized ecclesial environment who, instead of looking for openness and consensus, see how the gap between society and the positions of the magisterium of the Church, especially in the ethical field, is ever greater. In this desert lacking God, the new generation feels a great thirst for transcendence.It is the young men of this new generation who knock on the door of seminaries, and who need to find formators who are true men of God, priests totally dedicated to formation, who give witness of the gift of themselves to the Church, through celibacy and an austere life, according to the model of Christ the Good Shepherd. Thus, these young men will learn to be sensitive to the encounter with the Lord, in daily participation in the Eucharist, loving silence and prayer, working first of all for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
And of course he goes on to cite the Cure d'Ars as the role model for priests...In any case, some will agree, others disagree, with Benedict's assessment. But I think it shows in which camp he has cast his lot in the ongoing battle in the church.

"the salvation of souls"The choice of words is significant!
"The salvation of souls"---I would agree IS a significant term.It certainly does harken back to an earlier time in the Church---when the totality ofthe human person, its development as soul, mind, body, personality, etc. didnot matter. Only the spiritual entity---the soul, mattered.In traditional, institutional churchese lingo---the soul is a spiritual beingis made in the image of God. But what that is exactly---is hard to pinpoint.That humans are body/soul entities---and are intended by God to be that. We are notangels---but embodied spirits.Unfortunately, in the past (pre-Vatican days), the soul seemed to be much more importantthan the body. So, the official church often used the term, "the salvation of souls"as though---the body was just a paper shopping bag that contained the real entity, the soul---which is the only entity that really mattered. Indeed, nothingphysical really matters---in this mind set.That is why Benedict had/has a hard time with Teilhard de Chardin----he's much too positive,optimistic, concerned with the development of embodied soul/matter to suit Benedict.And incarnational theology---and its messiness? This does not fit well into Benedict's"let's put everything into its place, by category, by degreee, by status, by level of spirituality---everything neat and orderly".I absolutely believe that when individuals come from nations that experienced oppression, they themselves become oppressors when they achieve any authority. We have seen it in JP II, living under facism as a teen/young man and then under many decades of communism. Joseph Ratzinger under facism and then, living with half of Germany under communism. And Cardinal Rode---living in Slovinia under communism---oppressed and oppresive. Dark theology and a darker opinion of humanity and the world in which the human race lives.It would cause one to question---do they really believe that Christ's death and resurrection has only an effect on human souls---and absolutely nothing at all to do with the whole person, with the created world and with the direction of human history.
The Popes speech was addressed to the Bishops of Brazil, who face daunting problems, including providing pastoral care for an enormous population with many of the problems proper to a relatively recent urbanization, in which the state does not always succeed in being an instrument for the promotion of justice and the common good. And his solution is to warn them to protect their seminarians from secularism with its sinister tendency to value openness and consensus? A disturbing thought: the most thoroughly formed of those young men may one day soon be invited to study in Rome and to join the ranks of what John Allen recently described as the Churchs leadership-class.
The listening Brazilian bishops know that the young men that 'knock on the doors of seminaries' are being out-numbered 18 to 1 per capita by married evangelical ministers. Brazil Cardinal Humes called for optional celebacy but reneged when his plane landed in Rome... Benedict may not respect secular wisdom but two of its rules still apply apply; 1. 'the firstest with the mostest wins'; 2. an NFL penalty ' too many men on the field' if not called unbalances the 'field' ...If it really is about salvation of souls, the clergy die-off should be a priority addressed by pre-vatican II types and Benedict but it is not even on the discussion table.
First, I thought Little Bear'insight on leaders from oppressed backgrounds taking the darker view was quite good.I would like to see a less fuzzy idea of the dangerous "secularism" that BXVI is against.The recent German Catholic pullback after the lifting of the excommunications of the Lefebrivites shows that the problem of Catholics being more "secular" is really the problem of the church being too "Roman."The problem of harkening to the magisterium has recently ben thrown into clear light by the removal (after numerous years of service) by Archbushop PIlarccyk (sometimes referred to as a moderate) for publicly supporting the ordination of women. The bishop's role, ge says is to uphold "authentic" teaching, the CCC, forget infallibility. The poor Charity Sister say, I've been saying this for 30 years - why now?This is the big loyalty test that will be inforced on anyone under control including seminarians and the clergy to be -often reinforced by canonists and their sanctional approach.I submit this is a major reason why the 'hermenutic of continuity" is found incredible by many - and perceived as power clericalism.Cardinal Humes, I suspect, thought he'd get nowhere at the "roman" power center, whereas the "secular" folks in ths "year of the priest" wonder why mandatory celibacy and women's ordination can't even be placed on the table.Millions have walked away (at the threat of the "salvation of their souls") from our Church here and elsewhere as well. I would submit because they don't believe that and they are in favor of those awful things like consensus and openness.At bottom, I see the rift in the Church just widening more under this (to borrow L.B."s words) "dark" view.
David:You use a phrase -- "the messy-ness of modern life" -- that I've seen used a great deal in various formulations.But I always wonder: messy compared to what? To those simpler good old days?Honestly, isn't there a real danger here of valorizing our historical moment in a way that becomes counter-productive to the discussion?
The trouble with the Pope's approach is that the argument applies, in form at least, to all pre-modern types of religion. Suppose an imam said the same thing about those attracted to fundamentalist brands of Islam. -scholars of fundamentalism has shown that certain people are attracted to more rigid, certain, ways of viewing the world. But the attraction of some people to an anti-modern lifestyle is no proof of the truth of that lifestyle in each and every component--for Muslims or for Catholics. Each change has to be evaluated on its own terms.And there's a circular argument in there too: 1) We are right because we are attracting the best people; 2) they are the best people because they see we are right.
Gregory--I think the Pope is expressing, as he often does, a great nostalgia for the past, but a past he does see through somewhat rose-colored glasses. To me, nostalgia ain't what it used to be. A clarification: What do you mean by "valorizing our historical moment"? You mean this "modern" moment, or the recent, and much-lamented, good old days of not so long ago?
How many young men are attracted to the life-style of Jean-Marie Vianney That is one question and another is this. How sound of mind are those who are thus attracted?
Yes, Joseph. And how many others are alienated by those so attracted--and alienated for moral reasons?
And how many others are alienated by those so attractedand alienated for moral reasons?And how many are alienated by those who are alienated by sanctity?But, really, what's the moral objection to anyone who would try to imitate the life of the Cure d'Ars? This I gotta hear.
Gregory asked about the "messiness of modern life" as opposed to what, and I have to say it has been my experience that the same people who dislike the messiness of modern life are also apt not to like history either -- unless of course it is the sort of sanitized history which serves as an apologia for their own preconceived views. The problem of seeing things only through the lens of one's ideas about how the world HAS to be is -- surprise! -- it's not Christian. Jesus didn't live that way, and the gospels give testimony to the fact. He was willing to be surprised. He was surprised by the goodness and creativity of others, by the grace of that which is, and the lively God-given spirit he encountered in the people he met. "Your faith has saved you" is not something that Roman prelates are likely to say. (They'd rather say what we give you has saved you.) But Jesus said it, often. Sure it was messy, but what brought him to the cross was not the mess. It was the mirthless, cleanly consistent ideologies (both religious and political) of the power elites of his time. Benedict seems very worried that God has disappeared from the scene. I really don't know why. But I suspect that worry is a token of not accepting the fact, which faith perceives, that God is in the messiness of life.
Who defines sanctity? A defining feature of modernity is that not everyone agrees what sanctity in this age looks like. The problem is, what counts as "imitating" in a fruitful way, in our century?
Sounds like the regret is loss of Empire and total obedience. How acutely others here have observed that messiness is the human condition. How far we have come from John XXIII who fought to bring the spirit back into the church. Much of what he strived for is now a reality. But the resorationists, like Benedict want to put everything into a neat little box of falsity.
Remember the old saying -- a martyr is one who lives with a saint? I'm convinced there are many ways to God, and comparing them is comparing apples and oranges. Parents love children in different ways, and vice versa. Same with friendships.There are undoubtey times and places where a particular virtue or virtues are neededf no doubt. I'm thinking of the coursge needed to be a Christian these days in China and some Islamic countriess. But I don't doint that different sorts of courage are needed by different individuals. Then there's the question whether we're all called to "the same degree of holines". I really dislike that phrase -- it seems to imply that God pulls out some hypothetical ruler and measures all of us with it. But we're different individals, and, I think, incommensrable. Not that some people don't love God more, but who is to measure them?
Ann OllvierAnother version: A saint in heaven is a saint in glory; a saint on earth is a different story.I once said to a priest I knew; "I have heard that the pastor you live with is very pious." He replied: "Yes, and you can't imagine what it is like living with that piety!" And the pious pastor -- he was later named a bishop.
Mr. Gibson - you contrast Ratzinger and B16 at various periods of his life. Here is another way of looking at the man - contrasts his dominant personality type as theologian vs. pope:Cardinals Turn On Pope InvisibleBy John Follain, Sunday London TimesIn the hushed Apostolic Palace off St Peters Square, Pope Benedict XVI starts the day with a 7am mass in his private chapel, followed by a lone breakfast. No press summary is brought to him. He meets a few visitors in the morning and then, after a lunch served on gold-rimmed plates bearing his seal, retires to his study to write speeches and read theological works throughout the afternoon and evening.The Popes daily routine, as described by Vatican insiders, is being blamed for a series of blunders that have prompted a rare show of dissent from exasperated cardinals.Critics claim he is leading the church and its 1.2 billion faithful like a monarch cut off from the world outside his palace windows, helped only by loyal but inept advisers. People feel disoriented, a senior Vatican official confided last week. Its a feeling common to both traditionalists and reformers. Our impression is that there isnt anyone at the wheel. Hailed by his peers as the most intelligent candidate when he was elected Pope in 2005, the 81-year-old German pontiff has provoked outrage and a rebuke from Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, by revoking the excommunication of four breakaway bishops from the ultra-conservative Society of St Pius X.They included a British bishop, Richard Williamson, who has denied the existence of Nazi gas chambers.Benedict then named Father Gerhard Maria Wagner as the Bishop of Linz, in Austria. Wagner had preached that Hurricane Katrina was retribution for the activities of abortionists, prostitutes and homosexuals in New Orleans.Simmering discontent within the church exploded with the debacle over Williamson, who was subsequently removed from his post as head of a seminary in Buenos Aires and ordered to leave Argentina.German Cardinal Walter Kasper, in charge of Jewish relations, denounced misunderstandings and management errors in the curia (the Popes civil service) an implicit attack on the Pope himself.Upset by the Williamson and Wagner decisions, Austrian Cardinal Christoph Schnborn met the Pope in Rome earlier this month. The audience failed to reassure Schnborn, who called a meeting of Austrian bishops. They in turn urged the Vatican to learn from past mistakes and respect the rules for appointing bishops. They demanded scrupulousness and sensitivity in future.Violating the custom that cardinals do not criticise one another, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, head of the congregation of bishops, launched a loud denunciation of his Colom-bian colleague, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, who was in charge of relations with the Society of Pius X. On a bus carrying dignitaries to a religious ceremony in Rome, Re was overheard protesting that Castrillon Hoyos had forced colleagues to take a hasty decision. He only gave me a few hours to sign. All because Castrillon will soon turn 80 and retire. If he hadnt solved the problem right away, it would have been too late for him, Re fumed. For many inside the Vatican, the issue is the Popes style of leadership.People feel that the Pope is governing in a very monarchical way. He fails to consult bishops and he has isolated himself by ignoring advice which could stop him making mistakes, said Marco Politi, a leading Vatican analyst. The Pope believes he doesnt need to take account of public opinion. He studies the files that are brought to him and decides very much on his own. The atmosphere around him is that he mustnt be disturbed by criticism or visitors. Benedict offended Muslims with a 2006 speech quoting a Byzantine emperor who described the prophet Muhammads teachings as evil and inhuman.He upset Israel and Jews by saying he wanted to make a saint of Pope Pius XII, despite criticism that Pius had failed to speak out against the Holocaust during the second world war.Then he offended homosexuals by saying that their behaviour was a destruction of Gods work. Benedict is ruling the church from the top of the mainmast, he doesnt have experience of holding the rudder, said Gian-carlo Zizola, a writer on Vatican affairs. He performs the duties of a pope in the mornings, but in the afternoon and evenings hes a theologian. Benedict meets far fewer people than John Paul II and does not share his predecessors habit of inviting guests to lunch and dinner. On the top floor of the Apostolic Palace he is flanked by Georg Gnswein, 52, his personal secretary.Father Georg is very strict, he selects who does and doesnt see the Pope and keeps everyone punctual, a Vatican observer said. Several insiders fault Benedicts choice of advisers, most of whom he has known for years.The Pope has surrounded himself with collaborators who act more like obsequious subjects than real advisers, said Zizola. His main adviser, secretary of state Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, 74, has the Popes ear but little political or diplomatic experience. Church leaders are praying for a more harmonious leadership by the Pope, who will seek to mend relations with Israel on a visit to Jerusalem in May.At the Vatican last week Gordon Brown invited Benedict to Britain later this year or next, which may also help to bolster the pontiffs reputation.Bertone is expected to make new appointments to strengthen his team soon.Sacking people would be like asking the Pope to go back on his decisions and that doesnt happen, Zizola said.
Here is a good example of the difference between Benedict XVI and John XXIII. When John issued hundreds of fake baptismal certificate to Jews, as a papal nuncio in France, his fellow bishops taunted him for lying. Now tell me which person here would not "lie" for his child facing death. This, by the way, is a classic example of the ends justifying the means. Certainly tricky in other cases. Jesuits anyone?
If bishops generally are expected to offer their resignations at age seventy five and cardinals who are eighty or older may not vote in papal elections, is there not something decidedly odd about a bishop of Rome who is still clinging to his office at the age of eighty three? Really!
Making the rounds on the internet today is a BXVI note on Peter Damian who would confront the crimes of monks around him.But the problem is Benedict wants to maintain the "spotless bride of Christ" image protected for years in many quarters of weongdoings and unable to say it's wrong and needs to listen more. Bill D.'s post is noteworthy for Benedict's being cocooned - hence his aversion to "consensus and openness."So Secularism becomes an easy scapegoat for a Church that won't heal its own problems.By the Way, it's easy to toss around terms like sanctity. We live in a deeply human Church, stumbling along, lurching backward in terms of policy and failing to come to grips with major issues of the day, except by repeating the formula of CCC.
B16 is setting the example and way too many of the less-than-stellar hierarchy are following suit. Rule like an emperor; brook no dissent; expect unfettered, unquestioning loyalty; assume that they know everything about anything.
B16 = a frightened old man who "fights" rather than "flights" and is lost in the abyss of intellectual pursuits and past glories, both ecclesial and academic.Not good for the leadership of the world's largest Christian denomination.
Guys, let's keep it respectful, please.
It seems so far in this post that the Pope's main point has been overlooked. The Church and the priesthood exist to bring people closer to God through a relationship with Christ...that is salvation. What he seems to be driving at is that when the Church ONLY talks about more secularly acceptable values like "equality, liberty and solidarity" and not essential truths of faith like "sin, grace...the last things" then the Church is not being true to Her mission.The Church's temporal concerns must be related to the transcendent concerns of eternal life with the "Risen Lord". The ecclesial enviornment becomes secularized when its leaders no longer want to talk about spiritual things but want to focus mainly or even only on temporal or material concerns. In any event, the Pope's writings and teaching don't reveal him to be an autocratic dictator who's afraid of his own shadow.
Mike G: I don't think anyone here (or almost anyone as far as I can tell) would dispute your point. But the Church does not talk ONLY about those values, as the Pope seems to be saying. He seems to be positing a Manichean view of the post-conciliar church. One could equally say that when the Church speaks ONLY of essential truths like sin, grace..and the last things" it is not being true to Her mission. I'd see Catholicism as both/and, as we say, not either/or.
There is also this question. Does a class of presbyteral functionaries as envisaged by Benedict best meet the needs of Christ's church? Benedict seems to have surrounded himself with people who either will not raise this question, or if they do, soon drop it when they learn that it must never be asked.

If you want to know someone's age, have a look at their profile. If their age does not appear there, they probably don't want you to know, in which case they are unlikely to post it here.
Either way, this thread is redundant.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Brian Lavery's extensively researched study takes an in-depth look at the officers of the Royal Navy and the various routes they took from initial recruitment and training to their role in the fighting. The first half of the book looks at the selection and training of all types of officers, from experienced yachtsmen and tradesmen to ordinary seamen, and includes a chapter on the training establishment where recruits were prepared for war. The book then follows various recruits into service on board ships. Quotes from well-known actors, writers, and entertainers—John Mills, Alec Guinness, and Evelyn Waugh, among others—show how important their wartime service was to their subsequent careers.
Brian Lavery is one of Britain's top naval and maritime historians and curator emeritus of naval history at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. He is the author of many books, including Churchill Goes to War, Churchill's Navy, and Nelson's Navy.

When Kentucky-based trainer Mike Maker awakened Monday, he must have felt a little like Mitt Romney after Newt Gingrich's win in the South Carolina Republican Presidential Primary or how Gingrich probably felt after days of campaigning in Florida when the polls went from promising to perilous for Tuesday's primary in the Sunshine State.
Maker has a talented gray colt named Hansen in his barn and he's working to move his reigning 2-year-old champion and winner of the Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs back to the Louisville track as a major player for the 138th Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands on May 5.
Hansen Stumbled
Hansen was a heavy favorite as he made his debut as a 3-year-old and his first start since his Breeders' Cup win in early November in Sunday's $400,000 Holy Bull Stakes at the one-turn mile at Gulfstream Park.
But Maker was reminded quickly that the Breeders' Cup Juvenile triumph was so three months ago. Hansen stumbled under jockey Ramon Dominquez as he exited the starting gate, rushed to the lead and then offered little resistance as unbeaten Algorithms blew past the champ in upper stretch and drew off to win by five lengths.
Hansen Second
Hansen held on for the runner-up spot over late-running longshot My Adonis.
It would be no exaggeration to say many racing observers and fans expected a tumble by Hansen at some point on the Derby Trail, but perhaps not in the Holy Bull. He displayed runaway speed in all of his races at two and, despite a big victory margin in his Eclipse Awards category, many observers and fans question his ability to navigate the Derby's mile and a quarter.
But the one-turn mile distance of the Holy Bull did not figure to be the race in which he would seem to validate the opinions of his doubters.
And perhaps the 2012 debut of Hansen will, in retrospect, turn out to be better effort than it initially appeared. The stumble out of the starting gate could not have helped him, and could have contributed to a quicker-than-planned start as he recovered from his awkward beginning.
No Sign of Progress
But those with doubts about Hansen's Derby prospects were watching the Holy Bull for some sign that that champ had learned to relax in those three months since the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, and there was no sign of that progress.
After assessing his colt's setback, Maker's tone would have fit well in the aftermath of the primary battles between Romney, Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.
"He has a lot of speed and he might have been a little bit fresh today, too – which is why we went a little faster than I was looking for," Maker said. "He stumbled coming out of the gate and he picked himself up pretty quickly, but sometimes that scares a horse a little bit and they go a little fast. The stumble probably didn't help but it's not an excuse."
Not Happy, But…
"I'm not happy that he didn't win but I'm not totally disappointed. When he got passed, he really dug in and he galloped out really well."
Or, in the terms of the political horse race, it's a long way to the convention and the November election.
The next primary, er, prep race for Hansen is expected to be the $400,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes on Feb. 26 at Gulfstream. The distance that day will be at two turns at 1 1/16 miles and the opponents could include Breeders' Cup Juvenile favorite and runner-up Union Rags and the Triple Crown Trail's newest star, Holy Bull winner Algorithm.
There are ample reasons for hometown cheering for Hansen, given he is trained by Maker and owned by Northern Kentuckian Dr. Kendall Hansen and the Louisville-based Skychai Racing, which includes Harvey Diamond and Jim Shircliff. But there's room for provincial support for Algorithms, who is trained by Derby-winner Todd Pletcher for an ownership team that has plenty of Kentucky connections.
Glasscock Involved
Algorithms is owned by the Starlight Racing Stable partnership headed by Louisville native Jack Wolf and his wife, Laurie. This partnership also includes Louisville attorney Ed Glasscock and his son, Clint.
The son of rising sire Bernardini is one of several Derby hopes in the Pletcher barn. That group includes El Padrino, who was an impressive winner of an allowance race earlier on Sunday's Gulfstream Park card.
Algorithm's win in the Holy Bull was impressive in every way and his presence is the most sizzling on the Derby's current "Who's Hot?" roster. Given his connections, his pedigree and what he has shown in his three starts, he looks like a horse with staying power and is most likely a bona fide major player for Derby 138.
But his next start will be his first around two turns and that is always an important test on the road to Churchill Downs. But the Kentucky Derby is still three months away and much will happen before then.
Just ask Mike Maker, or Mitt or Newt. A few days or a week can make an incredible distance.
And then you have to pass the ultimate test, which lasts just over two minutes at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May.

On Saturday, KSP received a call from a resident saying their neighbor's home on Stonewall Court was being broken into.
The caller said they heard glass breaking and saw a man walking around.
Troopers say they saw 18-year-old Anthony C. Hart running from the residence.
KSP says after a short foot pursuit Hart was arrested.
He is in the Warren County Regional Jail on burglary, fleeing and evading, criminal mischief, and drug charges.

Guide to Harmful Glitches!
The following are known bad glitches in SA. It is not in any way a list of every glitch, only the ones that are harmful. Each glitch has a basic description followed by any known causes and fixes. The information has been gathered through this forum and its member, www.gamefaqs.com, as well as my own experiences. I hope this help anyone who is new to the game.
1. Can't finish a mission glitch
There are some missions in SA that can pick up a glitch which makes that mission impossible to beat. One example of this is in the mission Mad Dogg. Mad Dogg will jump before you can possible save him.
Cause: Saving with cheats on, especially cheats that affects peds. Example, the ped riot cheat. Other cheats that affect the game play in some way may also cause a mission glitch.
Fix: None, other then starting a new game. Just don't save after cheating.
Note: Health and Weapons cheats are most likely safe to use. I said most likely because you can never be 100% sure.
For the PC version same members of this forum have reported mission glitches after installing mods. You may want to ask some one who has the mod, before installing it.
2. Can't obtain 100% glitch
This is on the same lines as the mission glitch, but affects other things that are needed to obtain 100%. One example is the vanishing oyster. Some people have reported that one of the oyster disappears, not allowing you to collect it.
Cause: Same as the mission glitch, saving after cheating.
Fix: None, don't save with cheats.
3. Garage door will not open.
Sometimes you will find that a garage door is stuck and will not open for long periods of time. This can happen to any garage in the game.
Cause: Unknown.
Fix: Standing in front of the garage pause the game. Now open the map up. Wait for about 1 second then back out of the map and unpause the game. The door should pop open. If not repeat.
4. Garage eats custom paint on cars.
You open your garage to find that your Slamvan has lost is cool custom paint and it now all white. Well then you have run into this glitch.
Cause: Saving a car with a custom paint job in a garage. Sometimes the paint will disappear.
Fix: None really. If you only save one car in a garage it will reduce the chances of this happening, but its not full proof. One thing you can do is to keep cars with custom paint in the city were the mod shop there were done is. Example, keep lowriders in Los Santos so when the paint goes bye bye it is not that far to get it repainted.
5. Can't play pool any more.
You wanted to play a game of pool but when you got to the bar you can't start a game, and why does the bartender have her hands in the air?
Cause: If you hit, kill, target anyone in a bar or night (dance) club you will never be able to play pool again. You will know this is the case because when you walk in the bartender will raise her arms, and peds will duck.
Fix: Again none. It is simple enough to avoid just don't start any trouble in bars or night clubs.
6. Basket balls are gone.
Went to the court to improve your mad skills, but all the basket balls are gone.
Cause: If you save at Mad Dogs crib (aka the Mansion) you run the risk of getting this glitch.
Fix: None, are you seeing a pattern so far. It can be avoided, just don't save in the mansion and you will be fine.
7. Girlfriends never home
This is common, your girlfriend is just never around when she is suppost to be.
Cause: Unknown, just seems to happen from time to time.
Fix: Grab some flowers (any gift may work, but I have only tested it with flowers) and stand out side your girlfriends house just before the first time she is normally there. If here normal times are something like 22:00 to 4:00 you may have to wait until midnight. At the right time the corona should appear. Just stand far enough away that you don't get the message "your girlfriend is not home". This may not work every time. You can also avoid this glitch by dating the girl to 100% right after you start going out, just take her out every night until you reach 100%. Also for Katie you can try getting killed near her house. You will spawn there and it may make her come around.
Note: This fix may not work with Mille, your best bet is to show up at her door in the gimp suit.
8. Can't work out or The Gym glitch.
You went to the gym to work off that extra cluckin bell you had on your date, but you get the message "you've reached your limit for the day, come back tomorrow." But you have not worked out for days, WTF.
Cause: Seems random at most times, but does seem to occur more after finishing the story missions. One known cause is saving away hunger. If you save the game instead of eating when the game tell you CJ is hungry can cause this glitch. Also saving the game in two different slots in a very short time. For example saving in slot one at 12:00am and slot two at 12:05am. Since I have stopped saving to more then one slot on any given day I have not gotten this glitch.
Fix: There are a few. The first thing you can do is eat a bunch of meals, they can be salad meals. Eat 11 meals then try to work out. You may have to save after eating for it to work. You can also raise one out your stats, I know raising the gambling, and the lung capacity stats have worked. If nether of these work try to play for a long time with out saving the game, 5-7 in game days. I have always "played" while trying this, I don't know if just letting CJ stand there will have the same affect. The final why is to change every thing about CJs appearance, hair, tattoos, clothing, build (gain fat). If none of these work you may have to deal with not being able to work out. Most of the time the glitch will right it self sooner or later (could be much later). This is not crippling, if you keep a little bit of fat (5-10%) on CJ he will not lose muscle.
I have also found that Secrets Guide by The Duff Man on gamefaqs.com has some good info about this glitch.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/914983.html click the link and then scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the guide.
UPDATE: IT seems as time goes on more and more "possible" fixes for the gym glitch come out. I doubt the there will ever be a fix that works 100% of the time, but there is hope that one will work.
First up is what we will call the load-save. I found this a few different places on the web. Load the game that is infected and then save it to an empty slot. Then load that new game and save over the original game. Next load the original game. Finally save that in another empty slot and reset your game console. This work perfect the first time I tried it, the next time........not so much. You can also try the same procedure but instead of using empty slots use the second memory card.
Next......the 2-player fix. This is easy. Find a two player icon (free play) and start the game. Now have CJ shoot and kill the 2nd player. Now restart the 2-player game, but have the 2nd player choose a different player model. Again kill the 2nd player. This worked for me 2 out of three time on the same saved game.
9. Spay tag glitch
You run out of spray paint while spaying a tag, when you go back you can't complete the tag. Which means you can't get 100%.
Cause: Running out fo paint mid way through spaying a tag location. This is different that just not spaying the tag all the way. You must run out of paint for this really happen.
Fix: None, you must start a new game. To avid this make sure you spray each location until you get the message "xx of 100 tags complete", and make sure you have enough paint.
New Glitch
10.Taxi glitch on Xbox version by Xboxlover2
I didn't discover it, but all I know is that it doesn't always happen (the glitch won't always occur if you get your pilot's license before you're supposed to), but it happens often enough to make it a bad idea to get your license early. Anyway, if you have the glitch, you won't be able to find any fares during the taxi missions, meaning if you had planned on getting 100%, it is then impossible to do so. If you plan on doing the taxi missions but you want to get your pilot's license very early in the game, you should do the taxi missions before you get your license.
End Notes: You should always have a back up save file, that way if you pick up a harmful glitch you can go to your back up.
If you know of a new glitch or if you see something wrong, or find this guide useful let me know. Happy gaming.

Ive shot and slayed and killed bars full of people and I can still play pool.
some bar tenders raise their arms but not at all bars, like in LV they raise their arms and Ive never caused any trouble there.
and I can play pool everywhere Ive wanted to, even in bars Ive killed in.
never had the gym glitch, but i eat when it says your hungry or i see fat go down too much.
found miile at home everytime at 12noon to 1pm.
never brought gifts or wore the gimp suit.
MY Garage fix- stand in front of garage, turn R stick to face CJ, and go up/down with it. works. they seemed to have worked this out in the PC version. they stuck, took cars and paint jobs on the PS2.

the gym glitch is harmless and nothing to worry about since there is a max muscle and max fat button cheat, it's the basketball glitch which is the one to worry about, the fuck if I'm starting a new game to just get my basketball back, damn R* assholes can't do anything right.

Very helpful; nice work. I have some questions though, for some of these "unfixable" glitches, or even for the fixable ones I guess; if you start a new game; will the glitches transfer over? Is there a higher chance of getting the same glitches (even if you avoid them?) and if they do transfer after starting a new game, would formating the memory card work?

with the girlfriend glitch:
i had that with barbara, but it think its supposed to be that way because the red mark normally appears at 15:00, but after a dancing date, it didn't appear, so i waited untilthe next day and the mark was there again. I think you have to wait 1 day for the girlfriend to get "rested".

With which notation do you feel uncomfortable ?
closed as not constructive by Loop Space, Chris Schommer-Pries, Qiaochu Yuan, Scott Morrison♦ Mar 19 '10 at 6:10
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
There is a famous anecdote about Barry Mazur coming up with the worst notation possible at a seminar talk in order to annoy Serge Lang. Mazur defined $\Xi$ to be a complex number and considered the quotient of the conjugate of $\Xi$ and $\Xi$: $$\frac{\overline{\Xi}}{\Xi}.$$ This looks even better on a blackboard since $\Xi$ is drawn as three horizonal lines.
My favorite example of bad notation is using $\textrm{sin}^2(x)$ for $(\textrm{sin}(x))^2$ and $\textrm{sin}^{-1}(x)$ for $\textrm{arcsin}(x)$, since this is basically the same notation used for two different things ($\textrm{sin}^2(x)$ should mean $\textrm{sin}(\textrm{sin}(x))$ if $\textrm{sin}^{-1}(x)$ means $\textrm{arcsin}(x)$).
It might not be horrible, since it rarely leads to confusion, but it is inconsistent notation, which should be avoided in general.
I never liked the notation ${\mathbb Z}_p$ for the ring of residue classes modulo p. At one point, it confused the hell out of me, and this confusion is easily avoided by writing $C_p$, $C(p)$ or ${\mathbb Z}/p$.
I personally hate the notation $x \mid y$, for "$x$ divides $y$". Of course, I'm used to reading it by now, but a general principle I follow and recommend is:
Never use a symmetric symbol to denote an asymmetric relation!
Physicist will hate me for this, but I never liked Einstein's summation convention, nor the famous bra ($\langle\phi|$) and ket ($|\psi\rangle$) notation. Both notations make easy things look unnecessarily complicated, and especially the bra-ket notation is no fun to use in LaTeX.
Mathematicians are really quite bad when it comes to notation. They should learn from programming langauges people. Bad notation actually makes it difficult for students to understand the concepts. Here are some really bad ones:
My candidate would be the (internal) direct sum of subspaces $U \oplus V$ in linear algebra. As an operator it is equivalent to sum but with the side effect of implying that $U \cap V = \lbrace 0\rbrace$. Whenever I had a chance to teach linear algebra I found this terribly confusing for students.
The notation ]a,b[ for open intervals and its ilk. Sorry, Bourbaki.
I think composition of arrows $f:X\to Y$ and $g:Y\to Z$ should be written $fg$ not $gf$. First of all it would make the notation $\hom(X,Y)\to\hom(Y,Z)\to \hom(X,Z)$ much more natural: $\hom(E,X)$ should be a left $\hom(E,E)$ module because $E$ is on the left :) Secondly, diagrams are written from left to right (even stronger: Almost anything in the western world is written left to right). And i think the strange (-1) needed when shifting complexes is an effect of this twisted notation.
Writing a finite field of size $q$ as $\mathrm{GF}(q)$ instead of as $\mathbf{F}_q$ always rubbed me the wrong way. I know where it comes from (Galois Field), and I think it is still widely used in computer science, and maybe in some allied areas of discrete math, but I still dislike it.
I rather dislike the notation $$\int_{\Omega}f(x)\,\mu(dx)$$ myself. I realize that just as the integral sign is a generalized summation sign, the $dx$ in $\mu(dx)$ would stand for some small measurable set of which you take the measure, but it still rubs me the wrong way. Is it only because I was brought up with the $\int\cdots\,d\mu(x)$ notation? The latter nicely generalizes the notation for the Stieltjes integral at least.
As Trevor Wooley used to always say in class, ``Vinogradov's notation sucks....the constants away."
For those who don't know, Vinogradov's notation in this context is $f(x)\ll g(x)$ meaning $f(x) = O(g(x)).$ (if you prefer big-O notation, that is).
I get very frustrated when an author or speaker writes "Let $X\colon= A\sqcup B$..." to mean:
If they just meant "form the disjoint union of $A$ and $B$" this would be fine. But I've seen speakers later use the fact that $A$ and $B$ are disjoint, which was never stated anywhere except as above. You should never hide an assumption implicitly in your notation.
I don't like (but maybe for a bad reason) the notation $F\vdash G$ for $F$ is left adjoint to $G$.
Any comment ?
The term "symplectic group" used to mean the group $U(n,{\mathbb H})$. It's as if people called $U(n)$ and $GL(n,{\mathbb R})$ by some single name.
My personal pet peeve of notation HAS to be algebraists writing functions on the right a la Herstein's "Topics In Algebra". I don't know why they do it when everyone else doesn't. I think one of them got up one day and decided they wanted to be cooler then everyone else, seriously...
A cute idea but for which I have yet to find supporters is D. G. Northcott's notation (used at least in [Northcott, D. G. A first course of homological algebra. Cambridge University Press, London, 1973. xi+206 pp. MR0323867) for maps in a commutative diagram, which consists in enumerating the names of the objects placed vertices along the way of the composition. Thus, if there only one map in sight from $M$ to $N$, he writes it simply $MN$, so we has formulas looking like $$A'A(ABB'') = A'ABB'' = A'B'BB'' = 0.$$ He also writes maps on the right, so his $$xMN=0$$ means that the image of $x$ under the map from $M$ to $N$ is zero.
I would not say this is among the worst notations ever, though.
Students have big difficulties when first confronted with the $o(\cdot)$ and $O(\cdot)$ notation. The term $o(x^3)$, e.g., does not denote a certain function evaluated at $x^3$, but a function of $x$, defined by the context, that converges to zero when divided by $x^3$.
I have struggled with 'dx'. I've spent years trying to study every different approach to calculus that I could find to try and make sense of it. I read about the limit definitions in my first book, vector calculus with them as pullbacks of linear transformations or flows/flux, differential forms from the bridge project, k-forms, nonstandard analysis which enlarges $\mathbb{R}$ to give you infinitesimals (and unbounded numbers) but the same first order properties and lets integral be defined as a sum, constructive analysis using a monad to take the closure of the rationals to give reals... but I am still just as confused as ever, I understand that the mathematical notation doesn't have a compositional semantics but still don't really get it - one of the problems is despite not really understanding it, or having any abstract definition of it.. I can still get correct answers and I really hope this doesn't become a theme as I study more topics in mathematics.
p < q as in "the forcing condition p is stronger than q".
I hate the short cut $ab$ for $a\cdot b$. Everyone get used to it, BUT it creates very deep problem with all other notation; say you never can be sure what $f(x+y)$ or $2\!\tfrac23$ might be...
Also in modern mathematics people do not multiply things too often, so it does not have sense to make such a short cut.
Yet the shortcut $x^n$ is really bad one. One can not use upper indexes after this. It would be easy to write $x^{\cdot n}$ instead.
