What's Inside "Amoris Lætitia." Two Cardinals Say So
They are Baldisseri and Schönborn, whom Pope Francis has chosen to present his take on the post-synodal exhortation. They have already said what they think. The first in a letter, the second in an interview
by Sandro Magister
ROME, April 7, 2016 – "Doctrinal unity in pastoral plurality." This is the "authentic spirit" of the post-synodal apostolic exhortation "Amoris Lætitia" that will be made public tomorrow, according to the preview from the newspaper of the Italian episcopal conference, "Avvenire."
The formula is very elastic. And it will be curious to see how it will be embodied in the 325 paragraphs of the rambling document and above all in the multiform practice that will result from it in the whole of the Church worldwide.
To provide the official key of interpretation for the exhortation, Pope Francis has chosen two cardinals: the secretary general of the synod, Lorenzo Baldisseri, and the archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Schönborn (in the photo), both of them supporters of a new pastoral praxis on the most controversial points, in particular on communion for the divorced and remarried.
Baldisseri talked up this change of course in the letter that he sent in recent days to the bishops of the whole world, a two-page letter published almost in its entirety by ACI Stampa on April 2 in Rome, and then by National Catholic Reporter:
> Vatican guide says Francis' family document puts doctrine "at service of pastoral mission"
In it he writes among other things:
"The problem is not that of changing doctrine, but of inculturating the general principles so that they may be understood and practiced. Our language must encourage and strengthen every step of every real family."
And again:
"It is necessary to recontextualize doctrine in service of the Church's pastoral mission. Doctrine must be interpreted in relation to the heart of the Christian kerygma and in the light of the pastoral context in which it will be applied, always remembering that the 'suprema lex' must be the 'salus animarum'."
This is the renewal – Baldisseri explains in the letter – that Francis incessantly urges when he insists on on the need for "Ignatian discernment," for a "dialogical mentality," for a thinking left intentionally "incomplete" in order to make room for the other.
Cardinal Schönborn, however, has remained silent in the run-up to the publication of "Amoris Lætitia." But his thinking is well-known, and he expressed it a number of times over the duration of the synod.
The most elaborate and "licensed" exposition is in the interview with the cardinal in "La Civiltà Cattolica" of September 26, 2015, conducted by Fr. Antonio Spadaro, director of the magazine and a close associate of Pope Francis.
The complete text of the interview is among the few articles that "La Civiltà Cattolica" has allowed to be read online even by non-subscribers, a sign of the leading role that it attributes to it:
> Matrimonio e conversione pastorale. Intervista al cardinale Schönborn
Reproduced and translated below in multiple languages is the passage in which Schönborn addresses the question of communion for the divorced and remarried.
His argumentation in support of a change in pastoral practice is extensive and detailed. Schönborn, who belongs to the Dominican order, relies not only on his theological competence but also on his experience as the son of divorced and remarried parents.
He too insists on safeguarding doctrine. But without excluding pastoral decisions that would admit to communion those who have been prevented until now.
At a certain point he says, in fact:
"There are situations in which the priest, the guide, who knows the persons, can come to the point of saying: 'Your situation is such that, in conscience, in your and in my conscience as a pastor, I see your place in the sacramental life of the Church'."
Further ahead in the interview Schönborn backs a new approach on the question of homosexuality as well, saying among other things with regard to cohabitation between persons of the same sex:
"The judgment on homosexual acts as such is necessary, but the Church must not look into the bedroom first, but into the dining room! What is needed is accompaniment."
But let's get back to the divorced and remarried. As of tomorrow everyone will be able to verify to what extent these positions of the cardinal are found in the exhortation of Pope Francis.
"There are situations in which the priest can come to the point of saying…"
by Christoph Schönborn
[…] Q: On the one hand it is necessary and just to have objective criteria, we need them, but on the other hand such criteria do not exhaust all of reality…
A: I will give a very simple example concerning a man and a woman. Their first marriage was civil, because he was already divorced, and so they married civilly. This marriage was a failure, and they separated. The woman is in a second marriage. In this case, the husband had not been married religiously and she had been married only civilly. They were therefore able to celebrate a sacramental marriage. Objectively this is justifiable, it is correct. But what would happen if the first husband of the woman had not been divorced? If the first marriage, which ended up in failure for various reasons and finally led to a second union, had been religious, this would be irregular.
This must make us docile to the objective order, but also attentive to the complexity of life. There are cases in which it is only in a second or even in a third union that persons truly discover the faith. I know a person who entered into a first religious marriage very young, apparently without faith. This was a failure, followed by a second and even a third civil marriage. Only then, for the first time, this person discovered the faith and became a believer. So it is not a matter of setting aside the objective criteria, but in accompaniment I must stand beside the person on his journey.
Q: So what is to be done in these circumstances?
A: The objective criteria clearly tell us that a certain person still bound by a sacramental marriage cannot fully participate in the sacramental life of the Church. Subjectively he lives this situation as a conversion, as a true discovery in his own life, to the point that it could be said, in a certain way – in a different way, but analogous to the "Pauline privilege" – that for the good of the faith one could go a step beyond what the rule would say objectively. I think that we find ourselves facing an element that will have a great deal of importance during the next synod. I do not conceal, in this regard, that I am shocked by how a purely formalistic way of arguing brandishes the ax of the "intrinsece malum," the act that is considered morally evil always, independently of the intentions and circumstances.
Q: You are touching upon a very important point. Could you expound upon it? What is the problem connected to what is called the "intrinsece malum"?
A: In practice there is the exclusion of every reference to the argument of convenience that, for Saint Thomas, is always a way of expressing prudence. It is neither utilitarianism, nor a facile pragmatism, but a way of expressing a sense of rightness, of convenience, of harmony. On the question of divorce, this argumentative figure has been systematically excluded by our intransigent moralists. If understood poorly, the "intrinsece malum" suppresses the discussion of the circumstances and situations of life, which are complex by definition.
A human act is never simple, and the risk is of "jury-rigging" the articulation between object, circumstances, and finality, which should instead be read in the light of freedom and of the attraction to the good. The free act is reduced to the physical act in such a way that the limpidity of logic suppresses every moral discussion and every circumstance. The paradox is that in focusing on the "intrinsece malum" one loses all the richness, I would even say almost the beauty of a moral articulation, which inevitably ends up being annihilated by it. Not only is the moral analysis of situations made unequivocal, but one is also cut off from a comprehensive view of the dramatic consequences of divorce: the financial effects, educational, psychological, etc.
This is true of all that touches upon the issues of marriage and family. The obsession with the "intrinsece malum" has so impoverished the discussion that we are devoid of a wide range of argumentations in favor of unicity, of indissolubility, of openness to life, of the human foundation of Church doctrine. We have lost the taste for a discourse on these human realities. One of the key elements of the synod is the reality of the Christian family, not from an exclusive point of view, but from an inclusive one. The Christian family is a grace, a gift of God. It is a mission, and by its nature – if lived in a Christian way – it is something to be welcomed.
I remember a proposed pilgrimage for families in which the organizers wanted to invite exclusively those who practiced natural birth control. During a meeting with the episcopal conference we asked them how they would do it: "You select only those who practice it 100 percent, right down to the decimal point? How do you do that?" From these somewhat caricaturish expressions one realizes that, if the Christian family is lived from this perspective, it inevitably becomes sectarian. A world apart. If one seeks guarantees one is not Christian, one is centered only on oneself!
Q: Some want to have objective criteria in order to permit persons living in an irregular union to participate regularly in the sacramental life of the Church. Some synod fathers instead made reference to the need for pastoral discernment. There has also been talk of a penitential practice in relation to divorced and remarried couples who are asking for access to the sacraments…
A: If there has been a valid sacramental marriage, a second union remains an irregular union. However, there is the whole dimension of spiritual and pastoral accompaniment of persons making their way in a situation of irregularity, where it will be necessary to discern between all and nothing. An irregular situation cannot be turned into a regular one, but there are also paths of healing, of exploration, paths in which the law is lived step by step.
There are also situations in which the priest, the guide, who knows the persons, can come to the point of saying: 'Your situation is such that, in conscience, in your and in my conscience as a pastor, I see your place in the sacramental life of the Church'."
Q: How can arbitrary situations be avoided?
A: The problem already exists, because various pastors make these decisions lightly. But laissez-faire has never been a criterion for rejecting a good pastoral accompaniment. It will always be the duty of the pastor to find a way that corresponds to the truth and life of the persons he accompanies, perhaps without being able to explain to all why they should make one decision rather than another. The Church is sacrament of salvation. There are many paths and many dimensions to be explored for the sake of the "salus animarum."
Q: So this is a matter of welcoming and accompaniment. . .
A: Pope Francis has told us Austrian bishops what he has also said to many others: "Accompany, accompany." I have proposed to our diocese a way of accompaniment for persons who are in irregular marital situations, in order to escape from this quandary spread by the mass media that has become a sort of test for the pontificate of Pope Francis: "Will he ultimately be merciful toward those who live in irregular situations?" General solutions are expected, while the attitude of the good shepherd is first of all that of accompanying persons who are living with a divorce and a new marriage in their personal situations.
The first point on which I would like to dwell is the wounds and suffering. First of all one must observe before judging. But above all, when one speaks of mercy, I always recall that the first mercy to be asked is not that of the Church, it is mercy from our own children. I always formulate these first questions: "Have you had a failed marriage? Have you laid the burden of this failure, the weight of your conflict on the shoulders of your children? Have your children been taken hostage by your conflict? Because if you say that the Church is without mercy for new unions, one must first ask what has become of your mercy for your own children. Very often it is the children who bear the burden of your conflict and of your failure for the rest of their lives."
Q: And then there is the situation of the abandoned spouse, in addition to that of the children.
A: There is very little discussion of these persons who are so numerous, who remain alone after a divorce, are set aside and endure the loneliness of abandonment by their spouse. Is there special attention for these persons in the Church? Are there efforts to follow them, to accompany them? But there are other questions: have the divorced and remarried made a sufficient effort of reconciliation with the spouse they have left for a new union? Or have they entered into the new union with all the weight of their rancor, perhaps even of their hatred for the spouse they have abandoned? And finally, the most delicate question that no one can answer for them: how does your conscience stand before God? You promised mutual fidelity for life, you have experienced a failure. . . What does this say to your conscience? I do not say this to drive you toward a feeling of guilt, but the question remains. I have promised something that I have not been able to keep. Fidelity is a great value. I have not been able to keep my promise, or we have not been able to keep it together.
Q: These questions, however, open a path of penitence and reconciliation, otherwise they would not make sense. . .
A: All of this can and should prepare for a journey of humility and not for seeing the question of access to the sacramental life of the Church only from the perspective of a demand, but rather as an invitation to a journey of conversion that can open new dimensions of encounter with the Lord who is rich in mercy.
One must also always see what is positive, even in the most difficult situations, in situations of misery. Often in "patchwork" families there are examples of surprising generosity. I know that I am scandalizing some by saying this. . . But there is always something to be learned from persons who are objectively living in irregular situations. Pope Francis wants to educate us in this.
Q: Can you talk to me about some of your pastoral experiences? Are there particular situations that come to mind and seem significant to you?
A: I have an unforgettable memory of the time when I was a student at the Saulchoir, with the Dominicans in Paris. I was not yet a priest. Under the bridge of the Seine leading to the convent of Évry lived a homeless couple. She had been a prostitute, I don't know what he had done in his life. They were certainly not married, nor did they go to church, but every time I passed by there, I said to myself: "My God, they help each other to keep going in a life that is so hard." And when I saw gestures of tenderness between them, I sad to myself: "My God, it is beautiful that these two poor people help each other, what a great thing!" God is present in this poverty, in this tenderness.
There is a need to get out of such a limited perspective on access to the sacraments for irregular situations. The question is: "Where is God in their life? And in what way can I as a pastor discern the presence of God in their life? And they, how can they help me to discern better the work of God in a life?" We must be able to read the Word of God "in actu" between the lines of life and not only between the lines of incunables!
Q: For the mercy of God, are there situations so beyond repair that all the Church can do is definitively rule out access to the sacrament of reconciliation and to the Eucharist?
A: There can certainly be situations of self-exclusion. When Jesus says: "But you were not willing." In the face of this, in a certain way, God is disarmed, because he has given us freedom. . . And the Church must recognize and accept the freedom to say no. It is difficult to want at all costs to reconcile complex situations of life with full participation in the life of the Church. This will never preclude either hope or prayer, and there will always be an invitation to entrust such a situation to the providence of God, who can continually offer instruments of salvation. The door is never closed. [. . .]

The Doctor's PDA and Smartphone Handbook: Databases
A database is the computer equivalent of a filing cabinet full of forms. Like a filing cabinet, a database can store a lot of information, and by using forms, the information is structured, which paves the way for statistical analysis and audits.
A database on a handheld computer has many advantages over a filing cabinet. First, you can carry all the forms you need. This is great for audits, because you can enter data about patients at any time, including while you are with the patient during the ward round or when you can get hold of the patient's notes from the consultant's secretary.
Second, you can carry all the information you have filled out in the past. Not only is the handheld device orders of magnitude smaller than a filing cabinet, the sorting and searching tools are very fast. For example, if you have a list of patients, it only takes a few seconds to sort it by each patient's name and then to sort it again by consultant's name. You can quickly search for a patient whose date of birth is before a certain year and whose blood results are within a certain range.
Finally, you can share the information with colleagues. Beaming makes this quick and easy to do as you meet with colleagues during the day. It takes more effort and expertise to do this with synchronization, but it means you can get the information without needing a face-to-face meeting.
Choice of database
Many database programs are available to choose from. For the palm powered devices, you can use Pilot-DB [http://pilot-db.sourceforge.net/], which is free of charge but lacks encryption and is not very user friendly. JFile is well worth the US$25 [www.land-j.com], as is Sprint DB Pro for pocket personal computers [www.kaione.com].
For most users, however, HanDBase is the most appropriate database software. First, it is available for both palm powered and pocket PC devices, which makes sharing data with your colleagues easier. Second, it has the most example databases available, both free of charge and for sale, which means that you can use someone else's work
rather than design your own database forms.
Using someone else's database
Freshly installed database software has no forms for you to enter data, so you must either spend the time creating your own forms or use someone else's. Many doctors prefer creating a form that is perfectly suited to their habits and work, and this has its advantages. For the novice user, however, creating a form can be daunting. Furthermore, it is more efficient to use someone else's work and customize it than to create a brand new form. Finally, standardization can be a good thing, especially if you would like to share data with colleagues. In other words, if you use a different form to your colleagues, you cannot share the data in each other's forms.
This is why so many medical institutions make database forms available to their members. For example, the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland [www.asgbi.org.uk] has created a surgical logbook built on HanDBase, which you can download free of charge from [www.surgeonslog.com]. What is particularly impressive is the ability to transfer the data from your handheld computer to the association's website so you can back up and view it over the web.
The Royal College of Anaesthetists' logbook is available at [www.logbook.org.uk] and is also built on HanDBase. The author's own website [www.handheldsfordoctors.com/databases] makes other databases that you can customize and share with colleagues available free of charge. The next few examples will use the surgical logbook HanDBase database from this site.
Entering data
To open HanDBase on pocket PCs, tap on the 'Start' icon, then 'Program Files' and then the icon labelled 'HanDBase'. On palm powered machines, tap on the 'Home' icon and then the icon labelled 'HanDBase'. You will see a list of the databases you have installed. Tap on 'Surgical logbook' for this example (Figure 1).
|Figure 1 HanDBase lists the databases you have installed
|Figure 2 Tap the 'New' button to enter a record in your database. This example is from the surgical logbook database.
For security, this database is encrypted. The default password is blank, so just tap the 'OK' button, but you will have to change this when you finish entering data.
You will see a list of column headings across the top, including ID, Date, Patient ID, DOB, Sex and Age. As you add data about your operations, a row will appear for each operation (Figure 2).
To enter data:
- Tap the 'New' button
- By default, the date of the operation is today's date.
- Tap to the right of 'Date' to select a different one
- Write the patient's hospital identification number to the right of 'Patient ID'
- Tap to the right of 'DOB' to select the patient's date of birth
- Select the patient's sex by tapping to the right of 'Sex'
- Write the patient's age to the right of 'Age'
- By default, the current time is used for the operation's starting and ending times. Tap to the right of 'Start' and 'End' to select different times
- Tap on 'Operation' to select the operation from the list of operations. If the operation you want is not in the
list, tap 'Edit Popup List' to add its name
- By default, the priority is 'Routine'. Tap on 'Priority' to select an alternative, such as 'Day case', 'Emergency' or 'Urgent'
- By default, your role is '1st assistant'. Tap on 'Role' to select a different one, such as 'Performed alone'
- This should be enough information to enter about the patient at the start. It is useful for your own records and for submission to your surgical college, however, to enter more information. For example, further down the form, you can document the patient's past medical history (tap to the right of 'PMH') and complications at 24 hours, 1 month and in the long term
- Tap on the 'Down' icon button to go down and the 'UP' icon button to go up
- When you are finished, tap the 'OK' button.
In each database, the records usually are listed in the order you entered them. To choose a different method, tap on a column name. For example, to sort by date, with the latest operations appearing at the top:
- Tap on the column titled 'Date'
- Tap 'Sort Reverse'
You can sort using multiple criteria. For example, to sort your operations first by your role and then by the date of the operation:
- Tap on the 'Tools' button
- Tap on the 'Sort' button
- Tap to the right of 'Primary Sort' and select 'Role'
- Tap to the right of 'Secondary Sort' and select 'Date'
- Underneath 'Secondary Sort', tap on 'Reverse'
- Tap the 'OK' button.
Filtering allows you to find a particular group of patients. For example, to find all the patients between the age of 30 and 40 years who had diabetes in their past medical history:
- Tap on the 'Tools' button
- Tap on the 'Filter' button
- Tick the box labelled 'Filter 1 Enabled'
- Tap to the right of 'Select Field' and select 'Age'
- Write '30' to right of 'Lower Limit' and '40' to the right of 'Upper Limit'
- Tick the box labelled 'Filter 2 Enabled'
- Tap to the right of 'Select Field' and select 'PMH'
- Write 'diabetes' to the right of 'Must Contain'
- Tap on the 'Down 2' icon button to go down and the 'Up 2' icon button to go up and add any other filters
- When you are finished, tap the 'OK' button.
The list of operations now will include only those that meet the criteria of these filters.
To remove the filter:
- Tap on the 'Tools' button
- Tap on the 'Filter' button
- Untick the boxes labelled 'Filter 1 Enabled' and 'Filter 2 Enabled'
- Tap the 'OK' button
The list will return to showing all of the operations.
Running a report
You can do simple statistical analyses of your data. To find the average age of your patients on a palm powered device, tap on the 'Menu' icon. Then, on this device or a pocket PC:
- Tap on the 'Actions' menu and select 'Run Report'
- Tap on 'Select Field'
- Tap on 'Age'
- Tap the 'Go' button.
You will see the average age to the right of 'Average', as well as the minimum ('Min value') and maximum ('Max value') ages. The 'Sum' is not useful in this case, but it would be important for adding up the cost column in a database that tracked the purchases made by your department.
Designing a database
It is technically fairly easy to design your own database, but coming up with a good design can be hard. It certainly takes experience and a little thinking in advance. It is worth trying the example databases with your patients for a few days to note which parts of the design you would like to change.
To change the design of an existing database on your pocket PCs, tap on the 'Start' icon, then on 'Program Files' and then on the icon labelled 'HanDBase'. On a palm powered device, tap on the 'Home' icon and then the icon labelled 'HanDBase'. Then:
- Tap on the name of the database you want to edit
- Tap on the 'Details' button
- If the database is encrypted or password protected, enter the password and tap the 'OK' button
- Tap on the 'Fields' button.
You will see a list of fields. Each field is the equivalent of a column heading that you see when listing the records in your database. Tap on the field that you want to edit. For example, if you tap on 'DOB' from the surgical logbook database, you can see that its 'Field Type' is 'Date' (Figure 3). This means that changing the value of this date in a record will bring up a calendar.
Figure 3 The date of birth field in HanDBase
If you had selected 'Text' instead, you would have to write '01/26/1976' for a patient's whose date of birth is 26 January 1976. This might seem faster, but it means that running the filters feature is practically useless for 'DOB'.
You will not be able to filter patients born before 1975, for example, as the database does not treat 'DOB' as a date.
Similarly, the 'Age' field is an integer, which means that the database treats it as a whole number. This is useful because the surgical logbook database will prevent you writing '67.5' or '67a' by mistake, which keeps your data clean. It also means you can see the sum of that field's data when you run a report on the database.
As you can see, designing a database can be complicated at the start. Fortunately, HanDBase's website has excellent explanations of all of the field types, as well as excellent tutorials that walk you through setting up your own database [www.ddhsoftware.com/support.html]. The RSM course that we run every year [www.handheldsfordoctors.com/rsm] also provides hands-on training.

To the Editor:
Mitch Albom's ''heaven lite'' is part of a long and insidious cultural tradition (column, March 9).
In 1937, H. Richard Niebuhr captured the change from a vigorous to soft religion in this way: ''A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross.''
Later, the writer Flannery O'Connor echoed David Brooks's and Niebuhr's statements. Too many believers, she said, thought that religion was like an electric blanket, bringing warmth and security; for her, Catholicism meant believing in the resurrection of a crucified Christ and in a God who challenged and enlarged the individual rather than merely comforting a person.

A bill sitting on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk could allow the government to weigh in on local land development projects, but cities such as Galt are not in support of such oversight.
Galt is currently in partnership with Walmart to build a new store on Twin Cities Road. The project would not only help keep revenue within city limits, it would also create job opportunities for Galt residents.

Extra points if you get the obtuse reference in the above paragraph.
Update: In two parts-
First, I'm not looking for dating/sex/relationship partners at this time. My dance card is full right now. While I can love infinitely, my time and energy are about tapped out right now. Friends? Sure, but just don't expect any more.
Second, should part one change, don't waste your time with me if you aren't polyamorous and respectful of my relationships. I don't have time for folks who believe in "one true love". Maybe YOU have a "One true love" out there, but I don't, nor do I believe in it. To expect all emotional/sexual/personal needs to be fulfilled by a single person is cruel to any potential partner, and it sets oneself up for disappointment IMHO.
Again, let me reiterate: if you are not self identified as polyamorous, and have not had poly relationships in the past, please do not message me. I have tried the monogamous person "willing to try it", and it does not work. Please save us all the disappointment.
Also, if you are looking for Prince Charming, a White Knight in tarnished armor, an old school romance novel type of bad boy with a heart of gold only you can bring out... keep looking. I cashed out that card; I refuse to be anyone's savior, their reason for living, their special project. Accept me as a full person, not a cutout who looks good in a kilt (I own two). I might fit the mold, but I don't want the job.
I only have interests in partners in crime, in those who own themselves, to unapologetically independent and happy ones.
I wrote this elsewhere, and it seemed a good summary:
Uncompromising, ruthless, demanding, and equal parts loyal, loving and honest. Not for wimps, liars or general turds. Strong, proud and free, polyamorous (look it up), Ubergeek, who overhauls his own engines, discovers new applications for lasers and adds new chapters to the Kama Sutra from personal research. Truly a barbarian with an IQ, the vocabulary of a Rhodes Scholar, and the bearing of a Viking who just earned his way into Valhalla. I live my life as one drinks from a fire hydrant: it gets all over your face, and up your nose. But it satisfies thirst like nothing else.
And before you ask, I have a zombie apocalypse survival plan. And no, I won't be your zombie plan, unless I really like you.
6' Male Dk. blonde/blue, hair to waist..
I did my BSc in optical physics, and have published several times in research journals. I'm working on the second side of my dual major, in electrical engineering. I did work in a field called "quantum optics", and have been very interested in quantum computation problems. If you ever read an article that says "Scientists have slowed light or frozen light inside atoms", that's the kind of research I have done.
I'm ruthlessly honest. Some folks get very turned off by this, but those that I count as close friends and lovers often are grateful for it, because I deal as honestly as I can with them. I'm not a fool however, but rather I try to judge people as squarely as I can.
However as time wears on I find there's a tempering of my ruthless honesty. Telling the truth doesn't mean rubbing your nose in it. it means choosing the truth, and choosing the truth in a way that builds love and relationships, not as a weapon or a crusade.
I'm something of an [anarcho-capitalist at heart]. I don't like bonds and strictures, and I have a keen sense of justice. People are happiest when they are free, and I see the freedom of others as being as important as my own. There's a certain kind of world I want to live in, and by my choices and actions, I hope to make that world more real every day.
I'm polyamorous - I know, I keep writing that, but sometimes folks don't get that; I'm also in relationship(s). If we get along well I'll tell you who they are- we all value our privacy. If you don't know what polyamory is, read the Wikipedia entry, it's quite good.
I believe in personal and sexual sovereignty, and that people can and do have multiple, honest loving relationships.
-I'm not looking for one-night stands.
-I'm not looking to replace my partner(s).
-I'm not looking for/or to be a dirty little secret.
-I'm not looking for a Hot Bi Babe to be the peanut butter in a sandwich. I never hunted unicorns.
-I am looking only for friends now.
Based on a conversation I had recently, I think I should add the following disclaimer: I have no tolerance for lying. I do not lie to people I love and/or care about. I do not "bend the truth", commit "white lies" or play games of interpretation. I tell the truth, and I expect anyone who wants to spend time with me to do the same. Lying is a deal-breaker for me, and I figured I should let you know.
Now I should define a lie. A lie is a willful, deceitful statement or omission with the clear intent to control another person's behavior through controlling their access to information. Honestly forgetting to tell me about an appointment, or something minor like that is not lying. Being afraid to reveal the truth is not technically lying, IF that isn't life/health/safety related. Lies are something one chooses - accidents happen. If they happen with frequency or with serious consequences that's different.
I tested as INTJ on the Myers-Briggs personality inventory, and it pretty much sums my type.
My opinion on religion is hard to nail down. I've dedicated to a Gardenarian coven and practiced Wicca most of my adult life, though the scientist in me cannot be denied. I've had doubts, revised those assumptions and am constantly testing them. The most appropriate terms to describe me are, in Margot Adler's own words, "Heinleinian Libertarian Pagan".
I'm also what's known as a devotional polytheist, and have had a15+ year long dedication to an Morrigan.
My ethics are summarized in Ayn Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness, and I'm also influenced by Richard Dawkin's Selfish Gene theory, as well as Nietzsche's philosophy. I studied formal philosophy at college level for 3 years and consider it invaluable to how I see the world.
As for hobbies, there are two things I love to do: go out in the wild spaces and build/make/modify things to make them better or more customized to my needs. I have converted an automatic transmission car to a manual, because I liked it better. I've made all kinds of clothing for renaissance faires as well as daily wear, leather goods for my personal use, electrical generators for austere conditions, etc. I also go camping at least 5 times a year. When weather permits, a 10 mile hike in the woods is just the thing after a stressful week.
I'm a strong advocate of libertarian (classically liberal) political views, but I do not belong to any party. I cannot be pinned down in the Democrat/Republican spectrum - I support lawful gun ownership and concealed carry laws, and also I support abortion rights. I oppose government social welfare, but I support gay marriage. If this seems odd, just say "freedom, freedom, freedom" and you'll see where I'm coming from.
I am mildly allergic cats, and to dogs. I'm happy to take a Benadryl when visiting a pet owner's home.
Stolen liberally from Robert A. Heinlein, probably my favorite author.
"I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
Believe it or not, this whole thing at the end is about love. It's hard to see, but I believe in setting out a fence around the playground before letting our inner children out to play. The fence seems harsh, rules, uncompromising, but it is designed to protect, and encourage a sense of freedom in a safe place.
Dealing with the everyday grind while not letting it grind me down. I work in a place where illusions are made and art is revered.
I tell stories, it's part of being Irish. I relate life lessons to tales of great adventure.
If we are compatable, it's likely I'll give you a copy of Stranger in a Strange Land and The Ethical Slut to read. I find these books great examples of the kind of relationships I look for, and hope that you will too.
Movies: The Matrix, 28 Days Later, Aliens, Cabaret, The Sheltering Sky, etc. Mostly sci-fi.
Shows: I presume they mean television. I don't watch it much, the occasional History of Discovery channel show, and lately Big Bang Theory. Not often, usually DVR'ed.
Music: pretty flexible but no gangsta hip-hop. I lean towards Death Metal, industrial Grindcore, and strangely enough classical and vocal folk music. Don't be surprised to see Loreena McKennitt, Beethoven, Johnny Cash and Fear Factory in rotation. I'm a fan of nerdcore lately...
Food: Indian food rules the planet, followed closely by Japanese and (real) Italian. I do enjoy mostly Mediterranean and South Asian foods mostly, and anything made with lamb.
I'm mostly into what is referred to as the Mediterranean Diet. It fits my body well, and the food taste great. I consider myself quasi-paleo, as I've gotten into this idea of eating as my body requires, not as big agribusiness would have me.
I love exotic cheeses and trying new food all the time.
At a seminar at the university, a bookstore looking for new acquisitions or surfing the internet. Used bookstores have consumed large parts of my paycheck from time to time.
Frequently I hang with local and distant pagans. You can find me tending the bonfire as naked women dance around it.
Well on second thought, I have a list of famous people I've almost killed or injured accidentally. They include one Nobel laureate, a former Attorney General, and an actor.
I'll only reveal the names of those people to those I trust :D.
-If you are polyamorous, and not a sexual tourist.
-If you treat books as treasures and judge people based on their literacy.
-If you have no guilty pleasures... you have pleasures but don't feel guilty about them.
-If you are Libertarian, and value the freedom of others as much as your own.
-If you love cheese.
-If you can think of another thing to add to this list.

Here it is - the story behind the first ever participant who didn't actually walk!
There have been over two million participants around the world in the Oxfam 100km Trailwalker challenge since 1981. Bruce Towers was the first who didn't use his own legs.
The TrailRider is a one-wheeled cross between a wheel barrow and sedan chair that allows several helpers (sherpas) to guide a disabled passenger along a normal, rough mountain track. The 5 minute video Wild Places tells my personal story behind the TrailRider coming to Australia.

When Mirror Group Newspapers moved its presses from Holborn Circus to London's Docklands, the opportunity arose to replace the outdated eleven-storey 1960s building with a lower structure, which while modern in detail and spirit is also sensitive to the traditional urban grain and the conservation issues of this historical area. Located pivotally between the City and the West End, the building restores the strategic view of St Paul's Cathedral from Primrose Hill and forms a symbolic gateway on High Holborn at the City's western edge.
The new building has eight storeys of flexible office accommodation, designed to respond to changing work patterns and new developments in information technology. The office floors look into a full-height glazed atrium, which opens out onto Holborn Circus through a dramatic curved glass facade, allowing views deep into the heart of the building. Within the atrium, which is to be animated by a site-specific sculpture, is a six-storey glass staircase suspended from slender steel rods; weighing 70 tonnes, it is one of the largest glass stairs ever made.
The choice of materials for the facades – granite and reconstituted stone – respects the traditional use of masonry in the neighbouring buildings. A glass floor at the entrance to the building admits daylight to the basement, which provides leisure facilities including a gymnasium, a restaurant and auditorium. And at street level the building welcomes the working community with shops, cafés and bars.

Question (from multiple readers): Why do airlines bare their country's flag outside on both sides of the plane, with one to the right but the other one flopped? For example, the U.S. flag appears with the stars on the upper left corner, as it is supposed, from the other side of that same aircraft, the stars are in the upper right corner. Why?
Answer: Picture an airplane and, as it faces forward, you are on its left looking up at it. The flag is depicted as blowing in the wind and, per this example, the stars are at the upper left, where they should be on the American flag. Now go to the other side of the aircraft. Old Glory is depicted as blowing in the wind, but now it has "flipped" as it would if it were free to swing, like on a flagpole, and the stars are at the upper right side.
If you were to pass by a flagpole on a windy day, you'd see the same "backwards" depiction on one side of the flag. It's not as obvious when it's depicted on an aircraft because you're looking at a single-sided image instead of seeing the flip side of an actual flag.
Question: I have a question about the process of going from taxiing to take off. It seems like some captains bring their planes to a complete stop once they are on the runway, while others will make the turn from the taxiway and jump right into the takeoff. Are there any hard and fast rules that govern this? Is it based on personal preference? If so, what is your approach? — Mark Cohen, Boston
Answer: You've described two types of takeoffs — "static" and "rolling."
Rolling takeoffs: Sometimes air traffic control will clear us for takeoff while we're taxiing out or as we're taxiing onto the runway. If conditions are good, meaning the runway isn't icy and there are no other adverse conditions, we can and often do make a "rolling takeoff." We taxi onto the runway and make the turn while adding power.
A controller might even add some verbiage such as "minimal time on the runway" to encourage us to get going as quickly as possible, preferably without stopping at all. Many times there's either someone on final approach to our runway or several airplanes waiting to take off behind us, or both.
Frankly, I enjoy rolling takeoffs but the airplane I fly now, the B-777, doesn't "like" them. That is, if the gear is not lined up on the runway before power is added, an aural warning is given. It's more of an annoyance in this case as the gear will in fact line up early in the takeoff roll and the warning will silence. Procedurally, however, we need to line up first and avoid the warning in the first place.
Sometimes — and I've noticed this in Chicago more than anywhere else — if it's exceptionally quiet, for instance, late at night, the controller might clear us for takeoff so far away from the runway that we'll request a confirmation of the takeoff clearance when we get there, just to be absolutely certain nothing has changed. There is no requirement for us to be close to the runway to receive a takeoff clearance.
Static takeoffs: Many times, though, the controller will say "taxi into position and hold" which means we're cleared onto the runway, but we're not yet cleared for takeoff. There is a variety of reasons we might be issued this clearance. For instance, we might take a delay for a couple of minutes for wake-turbulence avoidance if a "heavy" aircraft (Related column: Who you calling heavy? ) has just taken off in front of us.
Another time we might want to stop on the runway is when our aircraft has been deiced. Procedurally we might be required to do a "static run up" to shed any residual deicing fluid from the engines.
Still another reason for a takeoff from a complete stop would be a noise abatement procedure like at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California. This procedure requires us to run our power up all the way while we're stopped on the runway. This extra power earlier in the takeoff allows us to climb higher at a faster rate than we normally would, getting us farther away from the ground more quickly, thus reducing residual noise for those who live near the airport.

|By Omashu Rocks
|Part of the The House of Angkara continuity.
Tenang is a member of the Iluna Rebels in The House of Angkara living in Kisah.
He is very quiet and reserved. Sometimes, Tenang can go hours without talking. Because of this trait, he is a master of the Earthbending concept of waiting and listening.
At some point, Tenang joined the Iluna Rebels. During one of the group's missions, Tenang saved his leader, Komin's, life. He was present in the Iluna Rebels' hideout when Shen intruded, and he bound her to the wall and ground with Earthbending. Later, he went with the group to the Angkaras' Palace to save Komin's sister, Sakura, who had already been executed.
The name "Tenang" comes from the Indonesian word for "quiet" which reflects his nature.

With the Arizona Fall League (AFL) winding down the 2011 prospect season, we take time out to look at some players you may want to track in the coming year.
Of course the main numbers fantasy owners will want to know about belong to Bryce Harper (.333-6-26) and Mike Trout (.245-5-34), both of whom played well in Phoenix this fall.
Trout and Harper are likely long gone in most keeper leagues. But what about their AFL Surprise teammate catcher Christian Bethancourt?
Signed by the Braves out of Panama, Bethancourt has moved through the lower levels of the Atlanta system over the past three seasons, finishing at High Class-A Lynchburg in the Carolina League in 2011, hitting .271-1-20 over 166 at-bats, and building minor league totals of .271-12-131 over 287 games.
Just 20, Bethancourt broke out nicely at the AFL, hitting .306-5-13 over just 72 at-bats, displaying a nice power surge that merits future tracking.
Rangers third sacker Mike Olt was a compensation selection in 2010, drafted 49th overall out of Connecticut.
Olt also played in the Carolina League in 2011, notching 69 games and 240 at-bats at Myrtle Beach, hitting .267-9-43, pushing his minor league resume to .279-24-89 over 517 at-bats.
Olt led the entire AFL in home runs, hitting 13 of them (to go along with a .314 average and 43 RBI) in 106 at-bats, and priming himself for advancement and future plans at Arlington.
Finally, Oakland selected Grant Green, who played college ball at USC, as its first pick in 2009, pegging him as the team's shortstop of the future.
Green has played well at the dish, logging .318-20-87 totals at Stockton in 2010 in the California League, then moving to Midland at the Class-AA Texas League in 2011, assembling .291-9-62 totals as a 24-year old.
Green has since started playing in the outfield, losing a little favor in the eyes of many scouts who loved his offensive potential at short. But don't dismiss Green, who hit .290-5-19 over 107 at-bats for Phoenix at the AFL.
He can play, and would not be a hindrance at either left or center, supplying some pop (109 XBH over 263 minor league games), nice speed (16 minor league swipes), and ideally some versatility.

What Type of Carrier is Best for Your Cat?
You want your cat to be happy and comfortable with her carrier, so you should have the right information to make sure you purchase the right one.
In general, veterinarians recommend a hard sided carrier that allows you to open it from the top and front of the carrier. Here are a few other pieces of advice from our feline veterinarians:
Carrier Structure
- Look for an animal carrier that is sturdy and made of impact-resistant plastic or fiberglass. This type of carrier offers the best impact protection and cannot collapse.
- Many cats also prefer a carrier that has sides that offer a visual shield so she can have some privacy.
- You want to look for a carrier that can be positioned safely on a floorboard or level seat where it can secured with a seatbelt.
- It is also helpful to look for a carrier that is easy to clean.
- Coated wire- or cage-type animal carriers are acceptable and offer good impact protection, but generally do not provide your cat with visual privacy.
- Soft-sided, luggage/purse-type, basket-type or cardboard commercial animal carriers are acceptable as long as at least two sides have mesh or holes as ventilation. However, they offer minimal impact protection, may collapse or crush, and may be difficult to clean.
Carrier Accessibility
- Look for a carrier that has both a top and a front opening for so you can easy access for you and your cat.
- Top-loading carriers allow for minimal stress when you place your cat in the carrier and when your remove her from the carrier.
- An opening in the front allows your cat to come and go as she pleases.
- It is helpful to have a carrier where the top half may be removed so your veterinarian can exam your cat while they sit in the bottom half of the carrier. Many cats feel more secure and experience less anxiety during examinations conducted this way.
- Carriers that offer some visual privacy are preferred, so your cat may feel more secure and may be less likely to experience motion-induced anxiety or stomach distress. Look for a carrier that has at least two solid sides with few holes or windows.
- The carrier should have a leak-proof bottom, covered with plenty of absorbent material.
Cat Carrier Mistakes to Avoid
- Putting your cat carrier away.
- You want your cat to become comfortable with her carrier, so leave the cat carrier out and make it part of your home.
- Hopefully, your cat will begin going into her carrier often and see the carrier as part of her space in your home.
- Grabbing your cat by the "scruff" or back of the neck to put her in the carrier.
- If you need to place your cat into her carrier, it is best to carefully scoop her up with both hands and support her bottom.
- You want your cat to trust you when you pick her up. So, you want to handle your cat carefully and not cause her pain or fear.
- Many cats also have arthritis in her neck or back, so proper handling is important to avoid causing your cat pain.
- Shoving or dropping your cat into the carrier.
- Again, you need to treat your cat respectfully and carefully.
- If you drop or shove her into the carrier, she may try to bite or scratch you out of fear.
- If you are desperate to get your cat into her carrier, toss a blanket over your cat, wrap her like a burrito – being careful not to pull the blanket too tight – and slide her into the carrier. It's similar to swaddling a baby.
- Forgetting to line the bottom of the carrier.
- Your cat prefers a soft place to sit.
- Try placing a blanket in the bottom of the carrier and spraying it with a feline facial pheromone, so is not as scary of an environment.
- Trying too hard to get your cat into the carrier
- When you try too hard and change your behavior, your cat can get suspicious.
- Instead, put catnip and toys in the carrier.
- With patience and time, your cat should come around.

So that's a no on the handicap bypass then. OK, just wanted to clarify. Thanks for the quick reply.
There is a Handicap bypass entrance located in the front lobby. It exits right next to the ADA booth.

I'm sure im being discussed quite a bit in the staff section of the forums. as I said in my first post I know people think I'm trying to stir the pot. I just hope nobody gets trampled on that sidewalk like I almost did last year. As far as my tone goes- I'm awAre of what it would read like to people who do not like what I have to say. Believe me though if I wanted to come across in an angry/sarcastic way I would. I'm frustrated with the whole situation. I'm frustrated with things that have been said on and off this thread. The fact that nobody really seems to understand and it sounds like it's falling on deaf ears. That they continue to say it's "inconvenience" when it's not that at all. I'm scared for my safety. The fact is I don't think I'll be attending after this year until I see some major changes and not with just disability access. I know it's easier for people if I were to remain silent. I just feel it would not be the responsible thing to do.
We don't tolerate people ranting about attendees in the staff section of our forums anymore. It is very poor behavior to do so, and doesn't foster the whole point of forums. So I am not sure what you are referencing, or who you are talking with that is feeding you lies and drama.
We hear what you are saying Kirby. This isn't even about people not wanting to hear what you have to say; if that were the case, there wouldn't be feedback sections on the forums, website, etc... There just isn't a reason to be scared. There are multiple entrances, multiple exits, Special Needs Early Bird Entry times, and so much more (there are even security guards and Rosemont PD on site every single day). I really wish there was a way for us to help you manage your fear, but we have pretty much said everything we can and have been completely transparent on this issue for you and anyone else who has been concerned. We can even break down the math of people per hotel per entrance if that would help you feel better. The issue isn't even falling on deaf ears, or else this thread would not be getting the attention it has received, and I think you know that as well. We wish you would reconsider your future attendance, but we understand that you do not wish to attend the event after this year. We hope you have a great time at your last Anime Central.

Measuring Your Work-Life Balance
What's the Status of Your Work-Life Balance?
CNN created this work-life balance calculator, and while seeing our lives as bland pie charts may not open our eyes to anything we don't already know, it's important to remind ourselves to think about the way we spend our time and revisit the sacrifices we're making. When we go too long without enough sleep, for instance, other areas of our lives may suffer. Have you checked your balance, lately?

Select a Study
Choose the study of your choice to begin your ordering process. Once you complete the DNowStudies ordering process, you'll get immediate access to the online content. Oh! One more thing -- you'll be able to come back for student resources once your numbers firm up. Don't worry, we've got you covered! Either way, it all starts by choosing your study below!
When our students choose to follow Christ, God promises that they are a new creation
as Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:17. But often, they will probably feel frustrated that things aren't going the way they thought they would be. You might hear things like, "Jesus said he would always be with me once I follow him, why can't I feel it?" Or maybe, "I thought that when I followed Jesus that I wouldn't have to worry about those bad thoughts going through my mind anymore." It can be very confusing for someone who is brand new in his or her commitment to follow Jesus.
RENEW is designed to help your students find answers to those questions.
Fortunately, when God promises something, we can count on it. And Mark 12:30, the verse we are focusing on in this DNow event, can help. While your student is a child of God, our journey of following Christ never ends. Our focus will be on how we as Christ followers can follow him with everything we have—our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
John 3:16 is one of those verses many students have grown numb to.
From Sunday school to bumper stickers, sermons to football games, this verse makes a lot
of appearances. And quite frankly, it has good reason to show up as much as it does. The
entire story of the universe culminates in this verse, clearly laying out the mystery of God's
rescue plan. It describes how much God loves us, the effects of our sin on the world and our
relationship with God, Jesus' rescue mission to reconnect us with God, and what our lives
should look like after following Jesus.
EVERLASTING is designed to help your students go back to the basics.
John 3:16 shows us what it takes to cut through the noise, to live life to the fullest with God
forever, to have life everlasting.
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. –Micah 6:8
God doesn't leave us to wander through life without any directions. He has given us a set of expectations to show us clearly which paths will take us where we need to go. One important thing to know about God's expectations: they can't be faked. They have to start with serious heart transformation that only comes from knowing Jesus Christ.
Act. Love. Walk. Three signs that we are being transformed from the inside out by Jesus. Three signs to point your students squarely in the direction that God wants them to go. Act.Love.Walk is designed to help your student navigate what it means to follow God with all of their heart.
Project Serve
Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. – Matthew 20:26–28
If your students are like most people, they probably think service is a good idea, something everyone should do more often. But serving doesn't necessarily make someone a servant.
Becoming a servant is so much more than that. It's something that happens as we follow Christ and become more like him. We start seeing the world the way he does. We start responding to things as he would. Service is a Christ-follower's automatic response to the pain and injustice in the world around us. Project Serve is designed to help your students transform from people who serve on occasion into committed servants like Christ.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." — Matthew 16:24
There is a craving in our world for realness. The buzzword "authentic" is a buzzword for a reason. We want the people we do life with to be authentic. We want the brands and movements we support to be authentic. We want the experiences and encounters we have to be what they are supposed to be.
But what about our faith? Living out a faith that is true and real in today's world? It's about being a follower. A Christ-follower.
Teach Follower and help your teens understand what real faith looks like and how to live it out.
"But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved."—Eph 2:4-5
In every exchange, something must be given up in order for something to be gained. At the heart of the Gospel there is a single, powerful exchange that occurred when a flawless Savior took the flaws of humanity to the cross, exchanging His life for ours.
But this one exchange actually empowers countless exchanges in the lives of those who will believe and follow.
Exchange will help your students to see the Gospel and its impact on their lives through the lens of these exchanges.
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children …"–Ephesians 5:1
The concept of imitation is at work all around us. From fashion and technology, to movies and TV shows, imitation is everywhere. It's alive and well in us, too.
So much of who we are is influenced by other people. In a sense, we are who we imitate. But by imitating the only One worthy of imitation, we can discover an incredibly powerful and positive life.
Building off Paul's words in Ephesians 5:1-2, Imitator challenges students to live the life of a God-imitator, helping them understand what this looks like in the world they live in.
The Pause
"I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."–Psalm 119:10-11
Generation Multitask. It's a fitting label for an overcommitted, over-entertained generation. School, sports, clubs, work, friends, family, church . . . Teenagers are more involved and committed than any group of teenagers before them. It's no wonder that teenagers find it so difficult finding time to cultivate a relationship with Christ. They have to make time.
Do your students know how to seek God?
The Pause will teach students to "hit pause" and spend time growing their relationship with God.

Arusha, Tanzania – A Validation Workshop of the Questionnaire, with which the Pan African Parliament (PAP) is to assess the institutional capacities of the Pan African, Regional and National Parliaments to adopt, adapt and implement the core objectives and tenets of the African Charter on Values and Principles of Public Service and Administration, took place from 11-12 December 2014.
The primary objective of the validation workshop was to refine and validate/finalize the Capacity Assessment Questionnaire, including the establishment of basic ethical guidelines for its implementation. This included a review of the language, structure and content of the questionnaire for relevance in various regions/contexts. In addition, the validation workshop established basic principles for implementation of the capacity assessment methodology as a whole, including guidelines for the Questionnaire, ethical considerations, principles to ensure quality and neutrality of data, etc.
Participants reviewed the outcome document emanating from a Pre-testing exercise, which took place in November and provided confirmatory feedback and input for suggested modifications for final adoption. Key topics presented and discussed were, among others, the following:
· Democratic Governance
· Legislative Oversight: (Ex-Ante and Ex-Post)
· Representational Functions
· Code of Conduct for Public Service Agents
· Management and development of Human Resources
Preliminary discussions were held on possible ways to roll-out of this methodology among national, regional Parliaments and the PAP in 2015.
The Validation Workshop consisted in a two-day brainstorming session in which each section and question of the capacity assessment questionnaire were discussed and refined.

Very nice set
This was our second try on a mattress set from Overstock. First one was sent back, but reordered for this set. Was very pleased. This is a higher mattress which we like. It is a firmer mattress, but does have some nice loft. I could use a little more loft, but my husband likes the firmness.. This is a very well made set. Should suit our needs fine. I would recommend this set for the price.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? As shown
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Nicely made set

Johannesburg, Sep 07 : Australian cricketing legend Don Bradman's green blazer, which he had worn during his first series as Test captain, has garnered a whooping 91,410 dollars at auction in Melbourne on Monday.
Bradman wore the Australia crest-embroidered woolen jacket when he led his side against the English tourists in the 1936-37 Ashes series, which the home side won 3-2.
Auctioneer Max Williamson described the auction as 'beyond expectations', saying that this was the first (Bradman) blazer they have had up for auction, which is possibly why it sold so well, Sport24 reported.
Bradman retired from the international cricket with a Test batting average of 99.94. (ANI)

CarGurus has 45,002 nationwide Acadia listings starting at $3,988.
2016 GMC Acadia Overview
Buying the last model year of a vehicle's design offers many benefits. Those who choose the 2016 GMC Acadia will enjoy a vehicle that has had all the glitches and bugs purged over the 9 years it's been on the market. We don't normally mention this in previews, but the Acadia was the first crossover in GMC's history.
Introduced as a 2007 model, and given a facelift for 2013, the model is very similar to the Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave. The Acadia is a mid-to-full-size crossover that can seat up to 8 passengers. It can be configured as either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) and has a 6-cylinder engine and 6-speed transmission.
The 2016 GMC Acadia features some notable changes. Most important will be the addition of 4G LTE connectivity. This allows passengers to enjoy a powerful Wi-Fi hotspot, but the benefits don't end there. General Motors is rolling out proactive alerts using this high-speed communications network. According to GM, the speed of the data transfer is 100 times faster than the telematics system the optional OnStar systems used in the past. That means GMC will be able to send you a text if your tire is going flat while you're at work. That's just one easy-to-understand way this connectivity will benefit owners.
Other changes will include the deletion of Carbon Black Metallic and White Diamond Tricoat colors. Added will be up-charged Ebony Twilight Metallic and White Frost Tricoat. The SLT-1 options package will also have more features, such as rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot alert, added power controls for the driver's seat, and memory mirrors.
The GMC Acadia's seating can be configured two ways from the factory. The choice is between two captain's chairs in the middle row or a bench that can seat up to 3. Thus, it's either a 7- or 8-passenger vehicle. The base version comes only with the 3-across bench, but for other trims it's optional, with the captain's chairs being the default.
GMC offers four trim levels for the Acadia. The SLE-1 starts at about $36,000. The top of the Acadia line is the SLT-2, which has a starting price of about $45,000. It should be noted that GMC also offers a Denali series of Acadias that have a higher level of standard content, but we cover the Acadia Denali separately.
The GMC Acadia for 2016 will use one of GM's best drivetrains. The 3.6-liter V6 makes a solid 281 hp and 261 lb-ft of torque. This engine is used widely throughout GM's lineups and is known as smooth and reliable. It's coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Acadia can tow a respectable 5,200 pounds with its available trailer package, very good for the class. AWD or FWD is available, but inventory will depend on your location, with AWD more common in colder areas.
The 2016 GMC Acadia offers an attractive and functional interior. That interior can be relatively basic in terms of creature comforts or extremely luxurious at the SLT-2 trim level.
The center console varies depending upon trim. We recently tested a GM vehicle that has the same infotainment system as the SLT trims, and we say bravo. The GMC touchscreen system is easy to use, and you will find that your phone syncs quickly. The touchscreen also removes the hassle of learning a mouse-based system, which rarely works better than this simple setup. Bluetooth is standard, of course (GMC calls it Intellilink), and even the basic audio system in the SLE-1 trim comes with SiriusXM, a 6.5-inch color touchscreen display, CD player, and a USB input.
Safety is paramount in any family vehicle. In IIHS testing, the current-generation GMC Acadia scored Good on all tests conducted. The Acadia does not offer auto-braking forward-collision mitigation, a system we feel makes sense on any vehicle, particularly at this price point. Thus, the Acadia cannot earn top marks in safety. However, the Acadia does have forward collision alert. Also, the Acadia has a much lower than average driver death rate in IIHS studies. Size matters in crashes, and the Acadia is bigger than most vehicles on the road.
The 2016 GMC Acadia offers exceptional value in a midsize to large 3-row crossover. It can be a relatively low-priced family vehicle with all-weather capability and can also be a very luxurious vehicle when the options list is fully checked. The 2016 Acadia also comes with the peace of mind of knowing that the vehicle is built on proven technology.

John Tavares is listed as a 6'0" Center who played most recently for the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. Tavares has certainly garnered plenty of attention since his early teen years. He did spend most of his Junior career with the Oshawa Generals of the OHL. During his stint in Juniors Tavares piled up some impressive numbers including 215 regular season goals. That total broke the 33 year old record for most goals in a junior career by two, the former record held by former Pittsburgh Penguins draft selection Peter Lee. Tavares has also been a force on the international front for Canada. He has participated in two World Junior Championships earning a Gold Medal on both occasions. His grand total of 12 goals in the World Juniors tied the record held jointly held by Eric Lindros and Jeff Carter. Clearly Tavares has the offensive talent to bolster the Islanders attack.
Victor Hedman is a 6'6" left handed shooting defenseman. The first thing that jumps out about Hedman is his size. There is more to his game though than just size. Hedman has been playing for Modo in the Elitserien the top tier league in Sweden. His 2008-09 numbers for Modo were 43 games played with 7 goals and 14 assists and he also recorded a +22 rating. Those numbers were good enough to earn him the Rookie of the Year award in the Eltiserien. Hedman has also participated in the World Juniors for Sweden. Twice his Swedish team earned a Silver Medal. Each time the Swedes lost to Canada in the Gold Medal game. I got to watch Hedman during this year's World Junior's but I must say it was pretty obvious that he was nursing an injury so I really could not get a good feel for his total game. Given his size alone and reputation he would make a tremendous addition to the defensive core for any team.
So whom do the Islanders select? If I were selecting I would pick Tavares, but then I always favor the offensive talent over the defensive. Either way the Islanders are sure to be a better team with either player. The other team to benefit will be the Tampa Bay Lightning who own the second overall selection.
Some other names to keep an eye on during the selection process:
- Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson (Timra) – 6'1" Swedish Left Wing who really impressed me at the WJC. He definitely has the outside speed and offensive creativity to make an impact in the NHL.
- Jordan Schroeder (University of Minnesota) – 5'8" Center who is the highest ranked American in the entry draft. Jordan was easily the best of the Americans at the World Juniors.
- Nazem Kadri (London Knights) – 6'0" Center who has great stickhandling ability and has also won the Memorial Cup. He is my darkhorse selection to move up into the top 10.
- Brayden Schenn (Brandon Wheat Kings) – 6'0" Center following his brother Luke into the NHL many pundits have him slotted to join his brother with the Toronto Maple Leafs who pick seventh but he may not last that long.
Live coverage of the entry draft begins on June 26, 2009 from 7PM on the Versus network in the United States and on TSN in Canada. The NHL Network picks up day two coverage on June 27 from 10AM.
