A Roman Catholic priest, who is employed as the Director of Diocesan Formation Services at the Archdiocese of Montreal and as a professor of theology at Concordia University, explained, in correspondence with the Research Directorate, that there are 22 independent churches that make up the Catholic Church in Canada, including Latin, Maronite, Melkite, Coptic, Armenian, Syriac and Ukranian churches, "each with their own canon law and liturgical practices" (Priest 11 Mar. 2011). He also explained that the 2010-2011 liturgical calendar published by the National Liturgy Office of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) is the calendar for all the Latin churches, which represent the "vast majority" of Catholics in Canada (ibid.). The annual liturgy calendar provides information on daily celebrations and readings at mass and is attached to this Response (CCCB n.d.).
The priest suggested that the calendar is published as a convenience for readers, since it is derived from a more detailed reference book called the Ordo, which he deems "the true reference that should be followed" (Priest 11 Mar. 2011). In follow-up correspondence, he also signaled that the Archdioceses of Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto are part of the Latin church (ibid. 14 Mar. 2011). The CCCB website includes a comprehensive list of all the Canadian "Dioceses of the Latin Rite," with links to their respective websites (n.d.).
In correspondence with the Research Directorate, the administrative coordinator of the Archdiocese of Ottawa indicated that all Catholic churches adhere to the CCCB liturgical calendar "in principle" (14 Mar. 2011). A representative of the Archdiocese of Toronto's Office of Formation for Discipleship stated, in correspondence with the Research Directorate, that all its parishes adhere to the CCCB liturgical calendar (24 Mar. 2011). The Director of the CCCB's National Liturgy Office offered more detail on the readings at mass during a telephone interview with the Research Directorate, explaining that readings are scheduled for three-year periods and that, in rare exceptions, a regularly scheduled reading can be substituted for a reading that aligns with a major feast (18 Feb. 2011).
Roman Catholic Initiation for Adults
According to the priest affiliated with the Archdiocese of Montreal,
[t]he [Roman Catholic Initiation for Adults] RCIA, in the strict sense, is a process by which a non-baptized person becomes a baptized Catholic. In Canada, the process has been broadened to also include Christians from other denominations who wish to become Catholic but who were already baptized in their own denomination. (Priest 11 Mar. 2011)
He clarified that although the RCIA process is generally conducted in a group setting, some people fulfil the process "one-on-one for lack of numbers or other legitimate reasons" (ibid.). He outlined the key phases of the RCIA process as follows:
- The pre-catechumenate, in which a person is simply inquiring about becoming Catholic and perhaps having a first experience of Catholic life. There is no fixed schedule for this, and this phase may not even be necessary.
- The catechumenate, in which a person has decided to [convert] and has formally joined a process of education and training in Catholic faith and life. Theoretically this could take years, but in practical terms in most places in Canada it takes place from September until the following Easter.
- The 'period of purification and enlightenment,' which is the final phase of the catechumenate, and which begins at the beginning of Lent, 6 weeks before Easter. It is a time less for information and more for spiritual preparation.
- The rites of initiation themselves, which normally take place on the Easter vigil (i.e. the Saturday night before Easter Sunday). (ibid.)
The Toronto archdiocese representative provided corroboration for the above summary, outlining the same four phases and listing baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist as the initiation rites performed during the Easter Vigil (24 Mar. 2011). She added that the "destination" or goal of the RCIA process is "weekly participation in the celebration of Sunday Eucharist (Mass)" (Archdiocese of Toronto 24 Mar. 2011). She also included a step after the rites of initiation, called the "mystagogy," which lasts a "formal period of 50 days" and consists of "post-baptismal catechesis" and "ongoing formation" (ibid.).
Asked whether the RCIA process is prescribed and consistent across all parishes within the Archdiocese of Toronto, she replied that
[t]here are definite differences across the archdiocese. The diversity of parishes, pastors, various cultures, perceived needs and human resources all impact on how a parish prepares for and celebrates initiation with adults and children. (ibid.)
The Catholic priest explained that, since people come from diverse backgrounds, the specific topics covered during the RCIA process depend on the composition of the group (Priest 11 Mar. 2011). Additionally, because there is a question and answer period "at each session," the topics covered can follow the interests of the participants (ibid.). For the most part, however, the "RCIA training is meant to cover the following categories":
- The elements of Catholic dogma as contained in the creedal statements of the Church (principally the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed).
- The moral teaching of the Catholic Church, usually presented as a detailed commentary of the 10 commandments.
- The elements of worship of the Church, most importantly through an understanding of the sacraments and rituals.
- Some presentation of different Catholic approaches to prayer and spirituality. (ibid.)
Duration and Requirements of the RCIA Process
The Ottawa archdiocese's administrative coordinator indicated that although the duration of the RCIA program "varies depending on the individual," it "generally" takes one to two years to complete (14 Mar. 2011). The Catholic priest explained that "each local bishop has the right to set local norms" on the duration of the RCIA process, adding that it is "normally" completed in less than a year; however, he also stated that the length of time can vary based on "the situation of the individual," citing as example the possibility of shortening the process for someone who is sick (11 Mar. 2011). The website for the Holy Rosary Parish in Guelph, Ontario, indicates that the "RCIA is not a program that begins and ends on a predetermined schedule" since "[s]ome people need more time than others to prepare for initiation into the Roman Catholic Church" (5 Sept. 2010). However, the Parish also states that, usually, the RCIA process takes from one to two years (Holy Rosary Parish 5 Sept. 2010). The Toronto archdiocese representative explained that the RCIA is
not equivalent to a course with a clear beginning and end. Each person inquiring about becoming a member of the Catholic Church brings his or her own faith story and relationship with God. Although two people may begin the journey at the same time they may or may not ⦠be ready to celebrate initiation at the same time. (24 Mar. 2011)
The representative also explained that it generally takes nine to twelve months before initiation is celebrated, but emphasized that the "duration definitely varies from parish to parish" since "many different factors" affect how parishes prepare for, and celebrate, initiation (Archdiocese of Toronto 24 Mar. 2011).
In regard to the requirements of the RCIA process, the representative indicated that the
Church expects that the person seeking initiation has a relationship with Jesus, is immersed in the life of the local parish, has a clear understanding of the basic teachings of the Church, is striving to live a Catholic way of life, has been gathering to reflect on the Word of God Sunday after Sunday and desires to be part of the weekly Sunday Eucharist. (ibid.)
However, she also stated that a "particular parish may demand something far more than the Church does" (ibid.). According to the priest affiliated with the Archdiocese of Montreal, in addition to "living a life in conformity with Catholic teaching," "the person must complete the formation required by local norms and adapted (if necessary and possible) to his or her particular circumstances" (Priest 11 Mar. 2011).
The Ottawa archdiocese's administrative coordinator stated that baptism "generally" takes place at Easter Vigil "but can occur at other times" (14 Mar. 2011). The priest similarly noted that "adults are, as far as possible, to be baptised at Easter," but explained that "exceptions can be possible or even necessary" (11 Mar. 2011). The Holy Rosary Parish also indicates that the RCIA's "period of purification and enlightenment" "ends with the celebration of the initiation sacraments at the Easter Vigil" (5 Sept. 2010). The Toronto archdiocese representative similarly indicated that baptism, confirmation and Eucharist -- the three sacraments of initiation that "form one unitive rite" -- are normally celebrated at Easter Vigil (24 Mar. 2011).
Archdiocese of Toronto Chinese Catholic Churches
The Archdiocese of Toronto lists four churches under its administration that offer mass in Cantonese and Mandarin:
- Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish
- Saint Agnes Kouying Tsao Parish
- Saviour of the World Chinese Catholic Parish
- Chinese Martyrs' Catholic Church. (n.d.)
The Pastor of the Chinese Martyrs' Catholic Church stated, in correspondence with the Research Directorate, that mass readings are prescribed and consistent across all churches, including Chinese Catholic churches (Pastor 1 Mar. 2011). Both the Pastor of the Chinese Martyrs' Catholic Church and the Reverend at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, who also corresponded with the Research Directorate, confirmed that their parishes follow the CCCB liturgical calendar attached to this Response (ibid.; Rev. 17 Mar. 2011). The Pastor also noted that Chinese Catholic churches follow the same rites as all Catholic churches (1 Mar. 2011).
The Pastor explained that "[t]he RCIA program is universally structured and is consistently followed by all churches or parishes globally" and summarirzed the phases of the program as follows:
Phase I: The Rite of Acceptance
This is the liturgical rite, usually celebrated on the first Sunday of Advent, marking the beginning of the catechumenate proper, as the candidates express and the Church accepts their intention to respond to God's call to follow the way of Christ.
Period of the Catechumenate
This is the time, in duration corresponding to the progress of the individual, for the nurturing and growth of the catechumens' faith and conversion to God; celebrations of the word and prayers of exorcism and blessing are meant to assist the process. This period occurs from the first Sunday in Advent to the first Sunday of Lent, and the topics discussed during this period include:
An Introduction to the Sacraments
The Sacrament of Baptism
The Sacrament of Confirmation
The Eucharist
The Sacrament of Reconciliation
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of Holy Order
The Sacrament of Marriage
People of God
Who is Jesus Christ?
The Early Church
The History of the Church
Christian Moral Living
Social Justice
The Consistent of Ethic
The Dignity of Life
Phase II: Election
This is the liturgical rite, usually celebrated on the First Sunday of Lent, by which the Church formally ratifies the catechumens' readiness for the sacraments of initiation and the catechumens, now the elect, express the will to receive these sacraments.
Period of Purification and Enlightenment
This is immediately preceding the elects' initiation, usually the Lenten season preceding the celebration of this initiation at the Easter Vigil; it is a time of reflection, intensely centered on conversion [â¦.] the topics discussed during this period include:
What is Lent?
Saying Yes to Jesus
Take a Look: The Scrutinies
The Nicene Creed
The Presentation of the Creed
The Way of the Cross
The Lord's Prayer
The Presentation of the Lord's Prayer
The Meaning of Holy Week
Phase III: Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation
This is the liturgical rite, usually integrated into the Easter Vigil, by which the elect are initiated through baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist.
Period of Post-Baptismal Catechesis or Mystagogy
This is the time, usually the Easter season, following the celebration of initiation, during which the newly initiated experience being fully a part of the Christian community by means of both pertinent catechesis and particularly by participation with all the faithful in the Sunday Eucharistic celebration. During this period, topics discussed include:
Conversion: A Lifelong Process
The Laity: Called to Build God's Kingdom
Your Special Gifts
Family Life
Your Prayer Life
Evangelization. (Pastor 1 Mar. 2011)
In addition, the Pastor explained that, at his parish, the length of the program is approximately two years and that the rite of initiation, also referred to as the sacrament of initiation, takes place at Easter, Christmas and on the Chinese Martyrs' Catholic Church feast day, which is 3 July (ibid.). At his parish, eligibility for entry into the rite of initiation includes the following three requirements: attendance at three spiritual retreats; two interviews with the Pastor; and 85 percent attendance in the entire RCIA program (ibid.).

The Reverend stated that the length of the process is approximately one and a half years, as per the guidelines from the Archdiocese of Toronto (Rev. 17 Mar. 2011). To receive the sacrament of baptism, which is "only administered at Easter," RCIA participants at his parish must pass an oral and written examination and be given a recommendation by the Catechists-teachers (ibid.).

Movie SummaryValley of Abraham (Vale Abraao)
Description: In this artful film by 85-year old director Manoel de Oliveira, the heroine, instead of being powerless in the face of a world ruled by men, finds herself to be far too powerful. Beginning when she was a child, Ema (Leonor Silveira as an adult) had the kind of looks and manner that could stop cars when she came up to a street -- or cause accidents. As time goes by, she explores her power over men and, as a mature woman, chooses to marry a man who has virtually no machismo so that she can continue having affairs and exploring this mysterious ability of hers. Eventually she seeks to transcend her unusual limitation and accomplishes her death with astonishing serenity. This haunting story is based on a novel by Agustina Bessa-Luis.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

The Horse Forum
- Horse Nutrition
- - Symptoms of Worms
Symptoms of Worms So I went out to see my horse today and the BO was there with me. I brought him in and she suggested I worm him because he still looked like he had some of his winter coat (I live in Ontario, Canada, it was 30 degrees Celsius here yesterday!!) and he's a bit ribby despite being on hay and pasture 24/7 (he's a TB so that wasn't really concerning me just now) so I gave him a dose of ivermectin and the whole stable will be worming in about a month. I was told he was wormed just prior to my purchasing him, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was an outright lie as I've had a few other issues there... Just out of curiosity what are some other worm symptoms you have seen in your horses? The coat thing was kind of surprising to me. My BO also said that apparently the herd could also tell that a horse was wormy and would pick on the wormy horses (my horse has A LOT of kick marks, but is typically low in the pecking order anyways). This really surprised me... Is it true in anyone else's experience? Posted via Mobile Device |
While the coat issue can be an indicator that the horse may be wormy, the best "sign", imo, is to have a FEC (Fecal Egg Count) performed so that you can target your deworming efforts towards the specific parasite load the horse is carrying and/or avoid unnecessary use of chemicals that can contribute to building drug resistant parasites (not to mention drain your $$$ needlessly) |
Yeah I know the fecal egg count is the best. However in our area I think it's unusual to do them. In fact I had never heard of it until I started reading these forums. Now while that doesn't mean it's not done, I just think its much less common then in other areas. Typically barns in our area just set themselves up with a rotating worming schedule every season. I know in some people's opinion this may not be the most effective way but in barns where horses are pasture puffs and trail companions it seems to be effective. Posted via Mobile Device |
932 Attachment(s) Id definitely deworm if my horses were looking ribby and have leftover winter coats in July. First, id get a fecal count done because you need to find out what type of worms and what to deworm with. Posted via Mobile Device |
The problem with using a worming rotation, where you worm every 8 weeks, is that many worms have become resistant to many drugs. I get the horse.com newsletters, and they covered this recently in one of the Health newsletters. By doing the FEC and targeting the specific parasites your horse has, you will reduce the chance that your horse will have drug-resistant parasites. The latest article I read stated that ivermectin, which had been the one drug that would still work on everything but tapeworms, is becoming less effective for small strongyles. As far as symptoms go, it's kind of hard to say. Some horses carry a large parasite load with very few symptoms, while others can only tolerate a very light load. I've seen some horses with much longer hairs throughout their coats, weight loss, and a distended belly that had high worm loads, but there could be other causes for those things as well. If I see symptoms, I like to do an FEC, because I want to be confident that the drugs available will keep working until new drugs come along. ETA: The best way to be sure your dewormer worked is to do a follow-up FEC. Posted via Mobile Device |
Do you know of any labs in Canada that I can ship to. I know I can do it through my vet, but I'd have to pay for a call out as he doesn't really have an "office". I'd rather pay shipping if I were to do an FEC. Posted via Mobile Device |
I'm sorry, I don't. But I'm sure someone on here can let you know. Posted via Mobile Device |
The only laboratory I know of in Canada for animals that does equines is Idexx Laboratories. Although I believe you have to send samples through your veterinarian. You can always contact them and ask though. http://www.idexx.ca Why not just collect a ball or two of feces and take it to your veterinarian and just pay the fee of the test? You shouldn't need a farm call. There has to be some kind of "office" for record keeping, storing samples for send out, clients to pay bills etc. so you should be able to drop it off there and pay the fee on the account. |
384 Attachment(s) Quote:
Taking into consideration that your TB is on hay & pasture 24/7, I'd try and synch his worming with the rest of the herd so you lower your risk of re-infestation. Have your FEC done, choose an appropriate wormer, and consult with your BO about having the rest of the herd done with the same wormer if possible, keeping them all on the same rotation from then on. I get a FEC done in the spring and fall, around the time the frost goes & comes. |

The golf teams at Marion County High School competed in regional competition Monday and Tuesday of last week. Brianna Reynolds, the lone girl to play for Marion County, traveled to Fort Knox to compete on Monday. She finished in 17th place overall out of 60 competitors by shooting a 102.
"She had a good year overall and really improved from the previous season," Head Coach Chad Spalding said. "We hope to find some more girl golfers to go along with her next season so we can compete as a team."

Grade separation
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Grade separation is the name given to a method of aligning a junction of two or more surface transport axes at different heights (grades) so that they will not disrupt the traffic flow on other transit routes when they cross each other. The composition of such transport axes does not have to be uniform; it can consist of a mixture of roads, footpaths, railways, canals, or airport runways. Bridges (or overpasses or flyovers), tunnels (or underpasses), or a combination of both can be built at a junction to achieve the needed grade separation.
In North America, a grade-separated junction may be referred to as a grade separation[1][2] or as an interchange – in contrast with an intersection, at-grade, a diamond crossing or a level crossing, which are not grade-separated.
Roads with grade separation generally allow traffic to move freely, with fewer interruptions, and at higher overall speeds; this is why speed limits are typically higher for grade-separated roads. In addition, less trouble between traffic movements reduces the risk of accidents.
Grade-separated road junctions are typically space-intensive, complicated, and costly, due to the need for large physical structures such as tunnels, ramps, and bridges. Their height can be obtrusive, and this, combined with the large traffic volumes that grade-separated roads attract, tend to make them unpopular to nearby landowners and residents. For these reasons, proposals for new grade-separated roads can receive significant public opposition.
Rail-over-rail grade separations take up less space than road grade separations: because shoulders are not needed, there are generally fewer branches and side road connections to accommodate (because a partial grade separation will accomplish more improvement than for a road), and because at-grade railway connections often take up significant space on their own. However, they require significant engineering effort, and are very expensive and time-consuming to construct.
Grade-separated pedestrian and cycling routes often require modest space since they do not typically intersect with the facility (such as a highway) that they cross.
Grade-separation can create accessibility problems for people with disabilities due to the vertical gradient required to pass or to reach rail platforms.
The term is most widely applied to describe a road junction in which the direct flow of traffic on one or more of the roads is not disrupted. Instead of a direct connection, traffic must use on and off ramps (United States, Australia, New Zealand) or slip roads (United Kingdom, Ireland) to access the other roads at the junction. The road which carries on through the junction can also be referred to as grade separated.
Typically, large freeways, highways, motorways, or dual carriageways are chosen to be grade separated, through their entire length or for part of it. Grade separation drastically increases the capacity of a road compared to an identical road with at-grade junctions. For instance, it is extremely uncommon to find an at-grade junction on a British motorway; it is all but impossible on a U.S. Interstate Highway, though a few do exist.
If traffic can traverse the junction from any direction without being forced to come to a halt, then the junction is described as fully grade separated or free-flowing.
Fully separated[edit]
These junctions connect two freeways:
- Stack interchange (two-level, three-level, or four-level stack, depending on how many levels cross at the central point)
- Cloverleaf interchange
Partially separated[edit]
These junctions connect two roads, but only one is fully grade-separated, i.e. traffic on one road does not have to stop at yield lines or signals on one road, but may have to do so when switching to the other:
- Diamond interchange
- Partial cloverleaf interchange
- Single-point urban interchange
- Roundabout interchange
- Compact grade-separation, whereby the two roads are linked by a compact "connector road", with major-minor priority junctions at each of its ends; usually a variant of the cloverleaf type interchange, but only involving two quadrants rather than four
Other variants[edit]
These junctions connect three or more roads:
- Various incarnations of Spaghetti Junction
These junctions terminate one road into another:
On roadways with grade-separated interchanges, weaving is a result of placing an exit ramp a short distance after an entry ramp, causing conflicts between traffic attempting to leave the roadway at the next junction and traffic attempting to enter from the previous junction. This situation is most prevalent either where the junction designer has placed the on-slip to the road before the off-slip at a junction (for example, the cloverleaf interchange), or in urban areas with many close-spaced junctions. The ring road of Coventry, England, is a notorious example, as are parts of the southern M25, the London orbital motorway, the M6/M5 junction north-west of Birmingham, and the A4/M5 junction west of Bristol.
Weaving can be alleviated by using collector/distributor roads to separate entering and exiting traffic.
Attempts have been made to increase the capacity of railways by making tracks cross in a grade-separated manner, as opposed to the traditional use of flat crossings to change tracks. A grade-separated rail interchange is known as a flying junction and one which is not a level junction.
In 1897, the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) made use of a flying junction at Worting Junction south of Basingstoke to allow traffic on the Salisbury and Southampton routes to converge without conflicting movements; this became known as "Battledown Flyover". Also in Britain, the Southern Railway later made extensive use of flying junctions on other parts of its busy former LSWR main line.
Today in Britain, the tightly grouped nest of flying junctions[3] to the north of Clapham Junction railway station—although technically a combination of many junctions—handle more than 4,000 trains per day (about one train every 15 seconds).
In the French TGV system, all high-speed junctions are grade-separated. The three fully grade-separated high-speed triangles on the LGV system are capable of being taken at speeds between 160 km/h–320 km/h (100 mph–200 mph).
In the United States, a flying junction on the Nickel Plate Road through Cleveland, Ohio, United States was completed in 1913.[citation needed] The most frequent use was later found on the former Pennsylvania Railroad main lines. The lines are included as part of the Northeast Corridor and Keystone Corridor now owned by Amtrak. The most complex of these junctions, near Philadelphia Zoo, handles railway traffic for Amtrak, SEPTA, New Jersey Transit, Norfolk Southern, CSX Transportation, and Conrail.
In what is known as "area 1520", which includes the former Soviet Union and other regions using the same gauge, the most complicated grade-separation railpoint is found at Liubotyn in Ukraine.
In railway construction, grade separation also means the avoidance of level crossings by making any roads crossing the line either pass under or over the railway on bridges. This greatly improves safety and is crucial to the safe operation of high-speed lines. The London Extension of the Great Central Railway, built between 1896 and 1899, was the first fully grade-separated railway of this type in the UK.
Footbridges and subways[edit]
Footbridges and pedestrian/cyclist subways (called underpasses in North America) are often employed to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross busy streets and highways. Though introduced to Central Park in New York City in the 1860s, subways are far more common today in Europe, especially in countries such as the Netherlands, and Denmark where cycling is strongly encouraged. Long underpasses may be called tunnels.

Jerry Brown, the voice of reason?
Is it possible that Jerry Brown, a life-long Democrat, is now the voice of reason in Sacramento?
There was a time when Democrats were proud to declare themselves the defenders of working people, the middle class or those who aspired to become middle class. As recently as the 1990s, there were Democrats in the Legislature who upheld this tradition.
Sadly, over time, these defenders of average citizens have been largely replaced by those who are more selective about which interests they care about.
The priorities of this new breed of Democratic lawmakerhas shifted to issues like what kind of light bulbs are you using or how many calories you consumer. To them, creating the California Blueberry Commission is their idea of helping the economy in a state with millions of unemployed.
These representatives believe that their narrow agenda so important that anybody who has a job, a business or who is marginally successful should foot the bill with higher taxes. When the Proposition 30 tax increase was passed in November, they were jubilant – not just because they would now have more money to spend, but because many believed this represented a new era in California where the public was ready to embrace new taxes.
Already State Sens. Mark Leno and Lois Wolk have introduced legislation to make it easier to increase property taxes on homeowners. Known as "parcel taxes," homeowners pay a set amount for the privilege of living within a community imposing the tax. While parcel taxes are legal, they require a two-thirds vote, under Proposition 13. If Leno and Wolk get their way, these taxes will be imposed with a lower vote threshold.
Needless to say, lowering the vote threshold for approval would provide a tremendous advantage to tax backers because those with no obligation to pay are already likely to vote yes. And who are the homeowners hardest-hit by these taxes? Why it's those working folks who Democrats used to defend. These bills appear to be only the tip of the iceberg of coming legislation that would undermine the taxpayer protections contained in Prop. 13.
With Democrats in the Legislature salivating over opportunities to increase revenue, the role of Gov. Brown, whose popularity is at a new high, becomes magnified.
Taxpayers have been justifiably critical of Jerry Brown, especially his willingness to commit to spending $100 billion, or more, on the bullet train, while other pressing budget priorities go unfunded. However, because of Brown's willingness to put his reputation on the line and fully commit his considerable political skills to pass Prop. 30, he is almost singularly responsible for its election success. Unlike his colleagues in the Legislature, the governor has responded to this achievement with a moderate tone. He has said that the state budget should now stay balanced for years to come, and has pledged that any surplus will be used to pay down debt.
Additionally, Brown has cautioned against "over-reading" voters' intentions and said he will oppose any additional taxes not approved by the public.
Over the years, our renaissance governor has been described as eccentric (and worse) because of his philosophical and spiritual musings that often seem extraneous. However, Democratic leaders in the Legislature would be wise to take to heart Brown's recent comment to reporters: "When I was doing Zen meditation in Japan back in the late '80s, before going to bed I'd say … 'Desires are endless, I vow to cut them down.'"

XThose Americans planning on voting for an unprecedented third term of the Terror Twins in the 72 year old person of John McCain, are sad this morning.
Hillary Clinton didn't cause any trouble for Barack Obama last night.
You see, corporate media and rogue government loving Bush/Cheney/McCain hacks encouraged Republican voters, as we moved closer to the Democratic Convention, suggesting that Barack Obama's campaign for president would collapse after Hillary and her "voters" raised unholy hell in Denver this week. Predictions of doom continually rolled off the tongues of the usual suspect propagandists.
Alas, the dumbasses were wrong. Imagine that. Not only did Hillary Clinton and her "voters" not cause Obama any trouble last night.....Mrs. Clinton made it abundantly clear that she supports Obama, unequivocally, for president. She spoke directly to those who voted for her in the primaries and instructed them carefully that now is the time to join her in putting Obama/Biden in the White House. To Hillary, there are no other options.
No narcissistic, self-absorbed drama.....no call to splinter the Democratic Party......no sign of disunity. None of it. Hillary, along with a host of other intelligent, well spoken Democrats of both sexes and of every color and background, paraded to the podium one after the other last evening all speaking with one voice.....elect Barack Obama as the next president.
Sadly, this morning, McCain supporters are sad. They know that unless something significant changes the "playing field".....their candidate is going to have his POW ass handed to him in November. These GOP bitter-enders were pipedreaming about some 1968 sequel playing out at last night's convention.....anxiously awaiting an intravenous bag of Democratic bickering and fragmentation to hook up to their dying party and pitifully poor candidate.....and to give them a reason to go out and vote for one of the weakest GOP presidential candidates in recent memory. It never happened.
Last night Ohio's Dennis Kucinich told not only Democrats, but all Americans, to wake up. His animated "Wake up America" talk brought the crowd to it's feet for a standing ovation. Governor Ted Strickland told Americans about how George W. Bush was born on third base, thought he had hit a triple, but then proceeded to steal second. Not bad for a, you know, Reverend. Mark Warner, ex-governor of Virginia and the next senator from that state, showed Americans why he's a rising star in the Democratic Party and more than likely will succeed Obama in 2016.
And then Hillary put the final nail into the GOP coffin by delivering a very good speech, not only reaffirming what she and the Democratic Party stand for....but encouraging all Americans to focus now on putting Obama/Biden into the White House....to keep the dream of America alive. Well done, Hillary.
To those sweating out the polling data that will be released this weekend....to those saddened by such a strong showing of unity by the Democrats....to anyone downhearted because they found out last night that Hillary....I know it's a shocker....is a full blooded Democrat....let me offer you a lightning rod to run your sadness to ground.
George W. Bush and Richard Cheney.
While the Terror Twins, who had shirked military service themselves, were snarling and grabbing their adolescent big-boy crotches sending Americans to die in a hoax...while the CEO Bush administration was financing the cost of wars of choice through the childish and reckless cutting of 7-home-owner's taxes....while we watched "compassionate conservative" policy worked out in the abandonment of poor minorities in Louisiana....the backlash was building. That now mighty backlash, whose energy will crest the first week of November, was brought on by the incompetent, cynical, permanent-majority-dreaming maniacs who touted that they would "restore dignity to the presidency."
Once more I offer my condolences to faithful, though misled, Republican voters. Today's Bush/Cheney/Rove/McCain Republicans have proven once and for all that they cannot govern America in a modern age. They put on one heckuva "mission accomplished" theatrical show....but they didn't accomplish much for American people, and what was accomplished, was destructive. They talked proudly of a "humble foreign policy", and then had to eat humble pie when their WMD imminent threat hoax crumbled right before America's eyes. They painstakingly preached about stimulating America's economy through counter-productive tax relief for those who didn't need it and which only brought more pain to working families, stimulating those same families to rise up and vote for Democrats this time.
Fellow Americans of the Republican persuasion: Take today's sadness off your psychological backs and place it where it belongs....not on Hillary, not on the Democrats....but on those very bad men and women in the Bush/Cheney administration, who, through their criminal and reckless approach to governing, have insured the permanent minority status for the political party, ironically, that they sought to make a permanent majority.
Just as the ancient Jewish priests, in an annual Day of Atonement, placed the sins of the people, symbolically, on the head of a goat and sent him out into the wilderness....Republicans need to cleanse themselves of the worst executive administration in American history. Republican voters, take that sad feeling you are experiencing this week, the pit-of-the-stomach thing that happens when bitter disappointment finally sets in, and dispose of it....lay all that sadness at the neo-con men and women's altar of propagandistic fantasy...and come join the new movement to restore the nation we all love.

Global warming hurts labour productivity
HEAT stress from global warming may be having an impact on outdoor work productivity in hot regions such as northern Australia, South-East Asia and the southern United States, a study says.
In recent decades, rising temperatures and higher humidity reduced labour capacity, on paper at least, by 10 per cent during the hottest months, it says.
And by 2050, labour capacity – the ability to maintain efficiency in outdoor work – could fall by 20 per cent, it warns.
Farm workers, construction labourers and the military are among the sectors most exposed to hotter, steamier conditions.
The study, published in the journal, Nature Climate Change, uses a computer model that simulates warming and a rise in humidity and their impact on strenuous outdoor activity.
The most vulnerable regions are the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian sub-continent, South-East Asia, northern Australia and the greater Caribbean region, including the lower Mississippi Valley, according to John Dunne of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.
The model assumes an increase in temperature of 0.8C and a rise of 5 per cent in absolute humidity for 2010, compared with a benchmark, which comprises the average over a century to 1960.
It foresees warming of 1.4 to 1.7C and a humidity rise of 11 per cent by 2050 compared to this benchmark.
For calculation purposes, it also assumes that in temperate regions, people work continuously, but in the hottest places, the working day is split between 80 per cent work and 20 per cent rest.
The authors point out that the models do not take into account several factors that could change the picture, such as technological change and fluctuations in carbon emissions.

While struggling to become a famous writer, Snoopy invariably began stories with "It was a dark and stormy night." The phrase was originally penned by Edward George Bulwer-Lytton in his 1830 story Paul Clifford… Snoopy inspired another popular catch-phrase, this one created by Schulz: "Happiness is a warm puppy"… Snoopy lent his name to the lunar module for the Apollo 10 space mission, NASA's last test flight before the Apollo 11 landing of Neil Armstrong; the command module on Apollo 10 was known as Charlie Brown.

Came late to "Buffy" and then late to "Angel," but am a fanand fanaticabout both (though likely an amateur compared to many other people!).
I'm a graduate student in English, a writing instructor, and a Writing Desk Assistant, and, yes, I adore the writing in both "Buffy" and "Angel," though the physical humor has its plusses, too!
Favorite episode (right now)? "Smile Time"!
Currently I've gotten back into an old favorite, Space: 1999. The dialogue isn't up to Joss', but it has its points!

XMen's basketball
Tonight, Buffalo lost a home game to Ball State (busting up my hypotheses below). Miami, however, defended Millett Hall by beating Central Michigan.
Both results are good for Akron. This takes Buffalo down a game -- one the Bulls figured they'd easily win. It also reduces the likelihood of two MAC West teams earning first-round byes.
Buffalo has another tough test on Saturday, when the Bulls visit Northern Illinois. Central Michigan plays at Bowling Green. Kent State must hold serve at the M.A.C. Center against Western Michigan. Eastern Michigan plays at Miami. Of course, Toledo visits Rhodes Arena for a knuckle sandwich taste testing.

Monetary policy rules and their application in Russia
This paper examines the Bank of Russia behaviour in post crisis period. Special attention is devoted to econometric modelling of monetary policy rules of various types. Standard model is modified in a number of ways and estimated with the use of alternative econometric techniques (GMM, OLS and TSLS methodology). One of the modifications is set in the form of a system of two simultaneous equations, describing dynamics of intervention on foreign currency market and sterilisation of excess liquidity by the Bank of Russia. Empirical results support preliminary assumptions made on the basis of qualitative analysis of terms and principles of monetary and exchange rate policy in 1999-2003. Thus, interest rate policy of the Central Bank has had rather adaptive format, while management of base money dynamics possessed pronounced stabilising pattern. Another major finding lie in the fact that despite officially declared priority of anti-inflation policy major efforts of the Bank of Russia were turned to the regulation of the exchange rate. There are some reasons to suggest that the Central Bank intervened in the exchange market with the aim to affect not only the smoothness of the exchange rate but also its level.

A Unique Blend of Septic Tank Bacteria
Concern for the environment has led to the development of our Septic Tank Treatment products. Our mission is to provide the consumer with all natural, non-toxic, and effective septic tank bacteria based solutions for their Septic Systems. In so doing, we will conduct business with integrity and respect for our customers and the environment. We design Septic Tank Solutions to solve septic problems NATURALLY. Our septic system products are 100% safe for the environment. Use Green Pig Solutions for those unique problems affecting your home or business.
The Greenpig product is simple to use and doing business with Greenpig is even easier. We manufacture one product and one product only; our bacterial blend has been utilized for over 25 years. Hundreds of thousands of consumers have purchased our product.
Why do septic tank and drainfield systems clog?
Drainage failure is due to the gradual build up of accumulated sludge. Undigested raw sewage and grime can buildup throughout your entire septic system including the tank, lines, cesspit, sand mound, leach field and drain field when the system is untreated or poorly maintained. Due to the use of household cleaners and other common chemicals septic tank systems that have not been properly treated can have a difficult time digesting and degrading the raw septic sewage that enters the tank because of a decrease in beneficial septic tank bacteria. Problems in the drain field may be the first sign of trouble when the field lines progressively become clogged, inhibiting digestion and the breakdown of waste. Field lines are perforated with small holes to allow liquefied effluent to pass into the surrounding gravel bed where the waste matter is further digested into biodegradable runoff. However if the soil surrounding the inner piping becomes compacted the undigested sewage has nowhere to go and may cause further problems like backups, wet spots and unpleasant odors. If clogging continues sewage may leak out of your septic system and drain field and even back up into your home.
Sign of an imminent backup caused by septic system problems are:
- Slow flushing toilets
- Raw sewage odors
- Wet areas
Seriously clogged drain fields may even need to be replaced at a cost of several thousands of dollars. Luckily there is a much better solution.
GreenPig™ Septic Tank Treatment bombards your septic system with potent sewage eating bacteria.
GreenPig™ solves septic problems like no other product on the market can by:
- digesting built up sludge and fecal matter
- re-establishing healthy bacterial counts
- restoring septic tank and drainfield back to prime operating conditions

Monitor footballers' fitness levels, says Scottish FA
2 March 2013 Last updated at 08:54 GMT
The International Football Association Board will decide later whether it should trial the idea of players wearing heart rate monitors.
The communication of any technical information from footballers to staff is currently banned during matches, but it is hoped the microchips could save lives.
The measure is being considered after Bolton's Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch last year.

Canada Kate, Your quilt is awesome! I love working with the colors you used in your quilt. Good job everyone!!
Hello SewNSo ... Not MiraBelle .... though am another who completed the FWS. The FWS is a book of patterns created by Laurie Aaron Hird along with stories about women who wrote into a magazine in the early 1900's answering the question "Would you recommend your daughter to marry a farmer?".
There were 111 six inch blocks, all different in the quilt and the group did them here on the QB as a quilt-along, doing two blocks per week. Some diligently followed the pace (such as MiraB!) and others like me, joined in at various stages and gradually got them done. Also just a few pages before MiraB's is QuiltingNinaSue's FWS. QNSue did some other block patterns to finish off with 145 different blocks!! I will post mine to this thread tonight or tomorrow.
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
GORGEOUS quilt.
Four things you can't recover: The stone.....after the throw. The word......after its said. The occasion.....after its missed. The time......after its gone
Well everyone quilt are gorgeous, and must hold a very special place in everyone heart.
I have only have only completed 3 quilts one of them is still been quilted, and three cot quilts for my grandsons. But I think a stunning quilt is, one that you have done for yourself or someone else that you have put some love in and or that have meaning for you. Or the colours and pattern go with the place that it is going to live. And that you can learn new things and different patterns.
Here is 3 pictures of the ones I have made.

Thank You Ladies for the wonderful quilt show. I could'nt sleep tonight so of course I came to the board. Now I am glad I could;nt sleep. You show was very interesting. So many quilts and so many ideas. BEAUTIFUL.
Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind see.

Just start with one block at a time .... and you know you can make a tabletopper or runner.
Then a few more, and you know you could do a wall hanging.
Few more, a baby quilt.
Onwards to a lap quilt.
By then you'll be hooked and be counting the other direction!!!!!!!
That's the joy of a sampler ... you can stop at anytime and have something from it!
I've used that strategy many times ............... and have some beautiful large bed sized quilts as a result!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Just stumbled across this post and enjoyed the quilt show on a snowy morning! Loved the quilts, and found this to be an inspirational thread. My two McKenna Ryan bed size quilts are my current favorites.

One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, as Harry Frankfurt writes, "we have no theory."
Frankfurt, one of the world's most influential moral philosophers, attempts to build such a theory here. With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt proceeds by exploring how bullshit and the related concept of humbug are distinct from lying. He argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all.
Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Frankfurt concludes that although bullshit can take many innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the practitioner's capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not. Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true. By virtue of this, Frankfurt writes, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.

I saw it at Marshalls, but I didn't buy it - it smelled too much like something I already had & I agree nothing very special. Nice enough though... I did find it rather fresh smelling.
caliope 19... if you don't mind- what store did you find this at? I have been curious about the scent. Thanks
i just tested it today on paper...was very disappointing...the start is fruity but like peach and strawberry...never smelled the mandarin...and then goes very woody...not fresh at all...and the notes are very mixed...nothing especial...

The Miracle of Joe Lieberman
In her August 10 New York Times column, Joyce Purnick wrote that Jewish New Yorkers were "exultant" and felt "validated" by Al Gore's laying of hands on Joe Lieberman. We Jews, she wrote, were "exuding the kind of pride we haven't seen since Israel won the Six-Day War in 1967."
The Jews who spoke to meand all but one were Democratswere furious and disgusted. They and I did not feel validated by a cold, manipulative political move to distance Gore from a priapic president.
And there was Lieberman, thanking God, who led us out of Egypt, for this "miracle"! Then, like a "court Jew" of centuries ago, Lieberman shed his vaunted principles to be part of the team that had lifted this Jew up to be inside the pale.
Purnick is a good journalist. She writes a reporter's columnnot just top-of-the-head stuff. Did she not know that his Senate speechin which Lieberman became the only Democrat to somberly condemn the president for his immoralitywas itself a cold, manipulative political move to try to cleanse the Democratic Party?

On February 13, 1999, Washington Post reporter Robert Kaiser quoted Lieberman as admitting that his famous rebuke to Clinton was delivered because Democrats had worked so hard "to reestablish the party's connection to mainstream values." The party wanted to show it knew "the difference between right and wrong." Since, Lieberman added, "Clinton himself was at the center of this transformation, I feared that . . . we were in danger as a party." That's why he gave the speech.
Lieberman then told Kaiser: "I don't want to be too self-inflating," but his grave condemnation of the president on the Senate floor was meant to allow Democrats to say, " 'I agree with Joe Lieberman,' and it seemed to help."
Now, see the transformation of this "conscience of the Senate," who, from the beginning of his Senate career, has sponsored bills to give parents public tax money for vouchers to send children to private schools, including religious ones. But having been consecrated by Gore, Lieberman is changing his mind about vouchers. After all, he would only be the second banana to President Gore.
The once and former "conscience of the Senate"who voted against conviction of impeachment once he had given his party cover for the serial perjury, obstruction of justice, and tampering with witnesses of its leaderhas also abandoned another principle.
Like George W. Bush, Lieberman has advocated privatizing part of Social Security retirement funds. But suddenly, now that God's "miracle" has brought him to the promised land of the vice presidency, Lieberman has renounced privatization.
Speaking at the AFL-CIO Connecticut convention on the very day that God spoke on his behalf to Al Gore, Lieberman wholly adopted Gore's attack on privatization.
In the August 10 New York Post, Robert Novak reportedand it has not been deniedthat in June of this year, the Gore handlers told Lieberman to prepare an "op-ed column on Social Security." He was being considered for the vice presidency, and thusto paraphrase Dick Cheneyhe should learn to wear other people's clothes.
Lieberman's op-ed about-face was to be called "My Private Journey Away From Privatization." Under Lieberman's byline, it would attack the plan as "an expensive experiment" and thumpingly endorse the Gore approach. The conversion by this highly principled senator "appeared in no newspapers," Novak reported, "but was filed at Gore headquarters for future distribution"once God was ready to perform the "miracle."
In the same column, Novak pointed out, as another illustration of the ethical rectitude of Lieberman, that after gaining world attention for his sermon on presidential wickedness, "he voted with the White House against calling witnesses in the impeachment trial."
I once had a long argument with Lieberman about his scorn for the First Amendment. Bill Bennett, who often joins Lieberman in attacking the "destructive values" of movies, television, and recordings, is nonetheless careful to make a distinction between censuring and censoring.
But, as Eric Mink underlined in an illuminating column in the August 9 Daily News, Lieberman has pushed for laws requiring government control of television content. As Mink explained it, Lieberman argued that "the Federal Communications Commission should make value judgments about programs before renewing TV stations' licenses." (Emphasis added.)
Nor has Lieberman overlooked the Internet as a medium whose content is in crucial need of government regulation. As Mink writes, Lieberman and John McCainwho also believes the First Amendment needs revisionsponsored a bill giving the Federal Trade Commission the power to impose a single standard on violence on "all media, from network television to the Internet." In my conversation with Lieberman, I cited a long line of Supreme Court decisions to the contrary, but he would not be moved.
The Lieberman "miracle" was apparently wrought by the God of the Old Testament because now both the Republican and Democratic tickets are wholly composed of relentless advocates of capital punishment. Ralph Nader is the only candidate in opposition.
Lieberman is supposed to be a pillar of what Gore calls politics "for the people." But as the Times reported on August 9, the bulk of Lieberman's current campaign contributions come "from businesses, mostly finance, insurance, and real estate."
If you're for universal health insurance, bear in mind that a spokesman for the American Council of Life Insurance says, "We consider Mr. Lieberman a friend of the insurance industry." Also admiring Lieberman are such pharmaceutical companies as Bayer Corporation, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, and Pfizer, Inc. All these companies have offices in Connecticut.
During Lieberman's two terms in the Senate, a spokesman for the United States Chamber of Commerce told the Times, he has voted "on the side of business interests more than almost any other Democrat."
Unlike Joyce Purnick, this Jew has not been "validated" by the kind of "miracle" that lets you win at a sidewalk three-card monte game.

Neural interfaces are engineered devices designed to exchange information with the nervous system. Basic neural interface implants already have important medical roles, but there is far greater potential on the horizon if an array of fundamental biophysical and biomedical challenges can be overcome. The challenges fall in the following categories: selectivity—nerves and motor units must be monitored and addressed uniquely in a noise-ridden environment; stability—optimally, surgically implanted interfaces will interact with specific nerves over a time frame of years; resolution versus invasiveness—a balance must be achieved between the density of the signal and the degree to which delicate physiological structures will tolerate the intrusion of the device; and management of host-interface responses—reducing tissue reactions such as inflammation and scarring, which plague implanted devices today, will be critical in achieving selectivity, stability, and resolution in long-term implants. On the horizon, research is being done on single-cell electronic connections—silicon-neuron hybrid circuits—and alternatives to stimulation by electrical current, including genetic modifications to neuronal tissue that produce neurons activatable by light.
