How Did I Get Infected With ThinkPoint ?
ThinkPoint and badware just like it commonly end up on your computer due to the following causes. You will need to uninstall ThinkPoint if you think you're infected:
- Freeware or shareware: Many times freeware or shareware is secretly bundled with spyware. It is how the developers earn money for the time they spent. It's a sneaky, but it's fairly common.
- Peer-to-peer software: Do you use a peer-to-peer (P2P) program or other application with a shared network? When you use these applications, you put your system at risk for mistakenly downloading an infected file, including software like ThinkPoint .
- Questionable websites: Malicious or questionable websites can install programs such as ThinkPoint through security holes and automatic downloads, such as video codecs. If you feel your browser is unsafe, consider using the newest version of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer.

Automatic Removal. It's What I Choose.
The risks of manual removal make automatic removal an easy decision for me. I don't have enough time in the day to manually remove every infection that I come across; it's way too time consuming, and risky. It's easy to miss a file if you're not careful, and it's easy to adjust the wrong file and be left with a paperweight for a computer.

For the next three days, we're going to look at the growing problem of suicides in the U.S. military. Despite the drawdown of troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, the number of suicides continues to rise. The questions are why, and what to do about it. We'll take you to an Army base in Texas, where a new suicide-prevention program seems to be working. And we'll have that report tomorrow.
Today, we have the story of Marine Nicholas Rodriguez. His family's history of service goes back to the Revolutionary War, so it was no surprise when he enlisted. His mother and stepfather told his story to producers Dan Collison and Elizabeth Meister.
ANNA RODRIGUEZ: My name is Anna Rodriguez, and I live in Whitehall, Pa. I am the proud mother of Lance Cpl. Nicholas Rodriguez.
MICHAEL GEIGER: My name's Michael Geiger. I am the proud stepfather of Nicholas Rodriguez.
RODRIGUEZ: Nick was 21 years old when he enlisted.
GEIGER: He wanted to go and help the world, in some way he saw fit.
RODRIGUEZ: His home base was going to be in San Diego, Calif., at Camp Pendleton. So this was kind of the first time in his life that he was 3,000 miles away. Cried my heart out. (Laughter) And I've been crying ever since.
GEIGER: Nick would call me probably every other day or so, just to bat the breeze. And he'd say, well, what kind of music did you listen to when you were a kid? And I would give him these names. One group he became very fond of was Uriah Heep. There was one song in particular, it was Nick's favorite - "Lady in Black."
URIAH HEEP: (Singing) And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemy. So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life...
GEIGER: He was with the First Light Armored Reconnaissance. And oh, he was so gung-ho about this. He said it was like he was inside a video game. And this was the greatest thing since sliced bread, to Nick.
URIAH HEEP: (Singing) Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
RODRIGUEZ: When he left for Afghanistan, we didn't get to talk that often. When we did, I always got: Mom, it's boring out here; we're not doing anything. And that made me feel awesome. I still came down my driveway and stopped breathing, praying to God I wouldn't have two Marines sitting there. But at the same time, I thought, well, why would that happen? He's not in combat.
I think it was in mid-November, he called from Afghanistan and said, I'm on my way home.
GEIGER: He had to go through some kind of process, like a debriefing. He said that they had him sit down and watch some videos and stuff, and asked him a whole bunch of questions - things like, well, you're going to assure us that when you get home, you're not going to beat your wife; you're not going to call your mother names; you're not going to be nasty to your pets; and things like that. Nick seemed confident that he didn't have any issues that he was worried about, so he flew home.
RODRIGUEZ: I called everybody I knew - Nick's coming home! Nick's coming home.
GEIGER: Just knowing that Nick was returning from combat, I says, please don't ask him how many guys he killed. Please don't ask him how many bombs he saw go off.
RODRIGUEZ: Seems to be, a military person that comes back home from war, you don't ask them stuff like that. That's kind of like - I don't know, maybe the unwritten rule. So we didn't. We knew that if Nick wanted to tell, we would be there to listen. But there were cracks, and I started to see them.
GEIGER: I knew there was something different about Nick. One of the first things he wanted to do when he returned home here was, he went out and bought him a pistol.
RODRIGUEZ: A .357, that's what Nick wanted. His drinking skyrocketed - went through the ceiling. We were at a New Year's Eve party; and there was food, and there was beer.
GEIGER: He was manning the fire pit. And around midnight, one of the neighbors threw an M-80, Nick hit the dirt - belly first, flat down.
RODRIGUEZ: When I saw Nick hit the ground after a firework went off, I knew there was more that went on over there than he was telling me. And then he wasn't sleeping at all. He was on guard. Nick just happened to be outside in the middle of the night - 4, 5 o'clock in the morning - and this truck drives by and throws something at the house. He ran after my newspaper lady.
GEIGER: He jumped over our fence. He ended up face first across the hood of her car. (Laughter) But, she was scared to death. And then he looked and she says, I'm just delivering the paper. And he said everything was OK, and he walked back home. (Laughter) And I called the paper carrier that afternoon, to explain. She says, oh, that's quite all right. Tell him thank you for his service.
I thought, young boy just came home from a combat zone; he's going to be a little jumpy. And that's where I left it lay.
RODRIGUEZ: I was confused 'cause my son was hurting, and I didn't know what to do. I couldn't even identify it.
GEIGER: After Nick left Pennsylvania and went back to Camp Pendleton, he said that things were bothering him. He said that he was getting some headaches. He had talked about an incident where they were patrolling somewhere, and he saw a little Afghani boy come out from behind a wall, and drew a gun on him. All he could remember is his nieces and nephews at home here. And now, he's sitting there face-to-face with an 8- or 9-year-old boy with a gun in his hand. What do you do? Just that quick, he would drop the conversation.
RODRIGUEZ: I says, Michael, that's it. I'm going to show up at Camp Pendleton. I'm going to call him up and say, meet me at the gate; I'm here. We need to talk.
GEIGER: We had told him that maybe he should see a doctor to make sure that there was nothing wrong. He assured us that he would, but nobody there had any record of him ever being seen by a doctor.
RODRIGUEZ: Things just didn't feel right, but I chose not to go. I just did nothing.
GEIGER: And then he called me up - I'll never forget it. It was about 20 minutes till 7, our time. And I was up, getting ready to go to work. He told me that he was so impatient, he had to get in touch with me A-S-A-P. He said that that band that I had turned him on to, Uriah Heep, they're going to be in San Francisco. He says, I'm going to fly you out; and you and me are going to go see this concert. I says, fantastic. We talked a little bit about this and that. He said they were going to redeploy to Afghanistan sometime in December of that year. And he said he was all pumped up.
So took me by surprise - I got home from work early that day, and there were two Marines in uniform, standing there. And I'm thinking to myself, did the kid go AWOL? And they had this real stern and serious look on their faces and - says, is Anna Rodriguez here? Could you go get her because we don't want to create a scene.
RODRIGUEZ: March 1st - I was working the day shift at the shoe store. And I saw Michael walk in through the front doors. He had this look on his face. He didn't say a word. There were customers in my store. I said, no. Not Nick. Not Nick. (Crying) And he said, there's two Marines at the door. You need to come home.
GEIGER: Brought her home here, and they let us know that Nick was gone.
RODRIGUEZ: They found him in the bathroom on base, with a gunshot to his chest. That's all they said.
GEIGER: And they told us that it happened at 4:20 a.m. California time. And I told them they were liars. Right then and there, I told them. I says, that's impossible. I says, you're telling me he got off the phone with me, and he took his own life.
RODRIGUEZ: It was his .357 that he bought when he was home. And that was the weapon.
GEIGER: (Reading) Lance Cpl. Nicholas T. Rodriguez, 23, of Whitehall, died peacefully on Tuesday, March 1st, at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, San Diego, Calif. Nicholas was born Dec. 11th, 1987, in Allentown...
RODRIGUEZ: Most of this was written by me. The "died peacefully" - I didn't do that. I think the funeral home didn't know what else to say. That has always bugged me. Everybody who knows how Nick died, knows it wasn't peacefully.
GEIGER: Nick never indicated to anybody that he had ever thought about it, or considered, taking his own life. It wasn't until later - and it was much later - where they put two and two together and said that it had to have been PTSD.
RODRIGUEZ: I never heard of PTSD. I had no idea what it was.
GEIGER: Nobody ever said that we needed to be on the lookout for different behaviors. And we thought, you know, nine months in a combat zone, he's going to be a little bit changed. But we never had any reason to think it would be long-term. He came home to us physically intact.
RODRIGUEZ: I started counseling through the VA immediately after Nick had died. I ended up getting the perfect counselor, too. She's the one who explained PTSD to me. And that's where I was educated - after he died.
I found out through a couple military personnel that the little boy that came around the corner with a gun - well, it was a 12-year-old boy with an AK-47. And he was shooting at Nick and Nick's unit. And Nick is the one who put that child down. I also know that Nick was dealing with losing his best friend over there. I remember hearing somebody say that Nick was kneeled down next to him when he died.
GEIGER: In hindsight, now I look back and think, well, these were all red flags that were going up. And we never saw them. We didn't know they were red flags. I think somebody from the military should step up and come to the families' homes before that child is returned, and let them know that if you see anything like this, here's a number; contact somebody. 'Cause we don't know what we're dealing with.
RODRIGUEZ: Hi, Nick. How are you, honey?
We're at the Cedar Hill Memorial Cemetery, where my Nick is buried. Anywhere between once and twice a week, I come down here to see Nick.
GEIGER: It's a silent killer, is what it is in my eyes, because in the paper you read about, this guy was killed by an IED; this guy was killed by gunfire. And it's not to take anything away from those boys or girls because they're all heroes. (Crying) But what about all the boys and girls that are coming home, but they're not together - they're not whole, that they lost it mentally? You don't see anybody talking about them.
We go and see all these memorials and monuments to these brave, young boys and girls that are sacrificing their all out there, in the field. My son's name ain't on those memorials. Why? He died as a result of that war. If he wouldn't have gone to Afghanistan, he wouldn't be under the ground now.
RODRIGUEZ: I still deal with a lot of guilt. Hell, yeah. I might have been able to change the outcome. I'm his mother. It's the first time in my entire life when my kid needed help, and I wasn't there. (Crying) I feel like I failed my son.
UNIDENTIFIED BAND MEMBER: Here's a song called "Lady in Black."
GEIGER: We played this for Nick at his funeral. These here are the lyrics, and when I listened to them more closely after Nick had passed away, it gave me a little more understanding; this was what Nick felt.
URIAH HEEP: (Singing) She asked me name my foe, then. I said the need within some men...
GEIGER: (Reading) She asked me name my foe, then. I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or God. And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemy so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life. But she wouldn't think of battle that reduces men to animals so easy to begin, and yet impossible to end.
And it just goes on - (Singing) Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
SIEGEL: Nick's case was investigated by the Marine Corps, and the report concluded this: "He received an adequate amount of suicide-awareness training not only from his chain of command, but through the battalion chaplain's warrior transitioning training received both in Afghanistan, and upon his return to the United States."
Tomorrow, we'll take a look at one promising program in Texas. Coming Home, Nick's Story was produced by Dan Collison and Elizabeth Meister for Long Haul Productions, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, KCRW's independent producer project and Iraq war veteran songwriter Jason Moon and his Warrior Songs project. There's more about Nick's Story at NPR.org.

Congratulations to David M. Rubenstein! This patriotic philanthropist has donated $7.5 Million for the repair of our national symbol, the Washington Monument. Mr Rubenstein a self-described history buff has a long history himself in supporting American Institutions. In 2008, he was the man who purchased the Magna Carta (an early version) and he has put that Magna Carta on permanent loan to the National Archives. Besides being a history buff and philanthropist, he is a magna cum laude graduate of Duke University and the co-founder and Managing Director of The Carlyle Group.
As you may recall, the monument was damaged by the Aug. 23, 2011, 5.8-magnitude earthquake that shook the east coast of the USA. As a result, the monument is currently closed while it is being repaired.

Tinea versicolor is a common infection that affects the skin. It is characterized by small, scaly patches with different colors.
Tinea versicolor is caused by a fungus. It is a type of dermatomycosis caused by a yeast that affects skin color. The fungus that causes tinea versicolor is normally found in small numbers on the skin and scalp. Overgrowth of the yeast leads to infection.
Risk Factors
Tinea versicolor is more common in adolescents and young adults. Other factors that may increase your chance of tinea versicolor include:
- Having naturally oily or excessively sweaty skin
- Living in warm and humid climates
- Having a weakened immune system
Tinea versicolor may cause:
- Uneven skin color, with either white or light brown patches
- Light scaling on affected areas
- Slight itching, which is worse when the person is hot
Patches that are easier to notice in the summer. Tinea versicolor usually affects the back, chest, and neck. It can result in uneven skin color which can last for months after the infection is gone.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may need to be referred to a doctor who specializes in skin disorders.
The doctor may use an ultraviolet light to see the patches more clearly. A patch may be scraped and sent for testing.
Tinea versicolor is treated with antifungal medication. This may be:
Over-the-counter or prescription antifungal medications:
- Lotions or creams with antifungal medications that are used for 2 weeks, such as ketoconazole or miconazole
- Shampoos that are left on for 5-10 minutes and rinsed off, such as selenium sulfide, sulfur salicylic acid, or zinc pyrithione
Prescription oral antifungal medications such as
- Ketoconazole
- Itraconazole
- Fluconazole
After the infection is successfully treated, your skin may naturally return to its normal color. This process usually takes several months or up to a few years. The condition may improve in the winter only to return in the summer.
If you know you are prone to tinea versicolor, talk to your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe a treatment you can use periodically to keep tinea versicolor from returning.

The Phillies may be a little slim on the corner outfield spots as spring training nears, but they should have plenty of pitching depth.
The front office, which has been mostly quiet since the holidays, added to the pitching staff's inventory in the last week by reining in three veterans.
The Phils have reached deals with right-handers Juan Cruz, Aaron Cook and Rodrigo Lopez. All three will be in camp as non-roster invitees on minor league contracts.
Cruz, 34, is 38-36 with a 4.05 ERA in 447 major league games in 12 seasons. He went 1-1 with a 2.78 ERA in 43 games with Pittsburgh last season, striking out 33 while walking 19 in 35 2/3 innings.
The 33-year-old Cook, who has spent the majority of his career with Colorado, went 4-11 with a 5.65 ERA in 19 games (all starts) with Boston in 2012. According to a foxports.com report, Cook will earn $1.625 if he's on the Phillies major league roster.
Over the weekend, the Phils also added Lopez.
The 37-year-old Lopez went 3-1 with a 3.62 ERA in five starts for the Phillies in 2009. He made just four appearances with the Cubs last season, spending the majority of the year at Triple-A Iowa (2-5 with a 5.28 ERA in 18 games, 15 starts).
This is business as usual for the Phillies. In recent years they've added the likes of Dontrelle Willis, Joel Pineiro, Brian Sanches, Gary Majewski, Raul Valdes, Dave Bush, Kris Benson and Scott Elarton before spring training.
Some were released before the end of camp, some stuck around to help Triple-A Lehigh Valley and some have even managed to make the big league club at some point during the year.
Of course, some have also been Ryan Vogelsong and Jason Grilli, two former Camp Clearwater attendees who didn't get the chance to graduate to the big league with the Phillies but went on to have a great deal of success elsewhere.

Film Camera Batteries - Brands
In the age of ever-advancing digital technology, there's something appealing about the retro feel of a reliable film camera. Whether you're using it for an artistic photoshoot, honing your photography skills, or just prefer film to digital, Batteries Plus Bulbs has the battery you need to get the most out of your film camera.
Why Does a Film Camera Need a Battery?
It might seem strange to think you need a battery to power a non-digital camera, but even older film cameras had features that required a power source. Depending on the age of your camera, you might need a battery for the flash, the light meter, or even to control the shutter. Some film cameras don't require a battery to take photos, but having a reliable power source will make snapping the perfect shot easier.
Battery Recycling
We are an industry leader for battery recycling. Each of our store locations is a drop-off point for battery recycling. Learn more about our recycling programs for consumers and businesses.
Have more questions? Contact us or visit your nearest store.
What Kind of Batteries Do Film Cameras Use?
The battery you need will depend almost entirely on the brand and model of your camera. While few older cameras use proprietary batteries like modern digital ones do, they can still use a wide range of battery types. From the standard AA to hard-to-find button cells, finding the right battery for your camera can be complicated – especially when you consider that many film cameras use mercury-based batteries that are no longer produced.
Batteries Plus Bulbs helps make finding the right replacement battery for your film camera easier by showing you all the compatible batteries we have for your camera.
Can't find a battery for your film camera? Bring it to your nearest Batteries Plus Bulbs store and an associate will help you find a match.
Need batteries for your digital camera instead? We've got you covered there, too.

baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
Like all collectibles, some sports cards increase in value and a few can become very valuable. Determining a card's value is based on a number of factors including the popularity of the player, the card's scarcity, it's condition, and demand among collectors. A card can be scarce but if there's no demand for it, it's value may not be to great.
Q: What are some of the ways to collect cards ? There are several different ways to collect cards. For example, you can try to collect all the cards in a given set. Or you can focus on cards of your favorite team or even just your favorite player.
Some people only collect Rookie cards while others only collect cards of Hall-of-Famers. Because of the high cost of vintage sports cards today a growingly popular way to collect sportscards is "Type Collecting".
"Type Collecting" is collecting just one of each "type" (or different issue) made. To keep costs down, on some of the scarcer more expensive issues you can simply add a less expensive "common" to your collection. While on more common or recent issues you can select your favorite player or a card from your favorite team.
No matter how you collect - the key is to have fun !
HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.
Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike.
Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

1961 Topps Baseball Cards AUTOGRAPHED Set info/informationBy now you all heard of the rash of counterfeit autographs on the market.
The following autographs all come with auction house LOA's (Letters of Authenticity) from the top authenticators in the hobby - PSA/DNA or James Spence !!!
The 1961 Topps baseball card set included 587 standard size 2˝" x 3˝" cards (#1-#598 with several skipped numbers). 2 cards were accidently numbered #463, one of them (the Braves Team card was supposed to be card #426).
The 1961 Topps set included the following special "subsets":
* League Leaders (10 cards)
* World Series highlights (10 cards)
* Highlights (11 cards)
* MVP's (16 cards)
* Checklists (7 cards plus several variations)
* Team cards (xx cards)
* Special Multi-Player cards (xx cards)
* Managers (xx cards)
* Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies (xx cards)
* Sporting News All-Stars (#566-#589)
1961 Topps was the first of the very popular and continuing Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies subsets. Cards from the last series (#523-#589) are scarce "High Numbers" making the set fairly expensive to complete.
MLB Baseball expansion led to one of the least attractive aspects of the 1961 Topps baseball card set. The American League made several changes. The Los Angeles Angels were added, the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins and a new franchise was granted to the Washington Senators who also debuted in 1961. Possibly because of these team changes, many players had their portrait photos taken without their baseball caps. Not only did most of the players look awful without their caps, they looked more like your old, not so handsome uncle then athletes!
Card backs were black print on an army green background on a dark card stock making them somewhat difficult to read. TOP ROOKIES: #35 Ron Santo, #141 Billy Williams, #417 Juan Marichal, Willie Davis, Zoilo Versalles & Jim Maloney; are popular players but still reasonably priced.
More interesting tid-bits from the 1961 Topps set:
Card #1 features All-American basketball player Dick Groat
Collectors of 1961 Topps cards may also want to take a look at 3 other baseball issues Topps released that year: a Topps Dice Game, Topps Magic Rub-Offs and a series of Topps Stamps.
Although some dealers and collectors consider this set boring, with it's clean design, many special subsets
and multiple cards of some of the games top stars including 6 Mantle's I rate it much higher.

The America I know is changing, but not for good.
The America I was brought up in gave to government what is government's and to God what is God's. We asked not what our country can do for us; we asked what we could do for our country.
All our country asks us to do today is: If you vote for me I will give you everything you want — even though it's not the government's money.
Ever since they took God out of our government and out of our schools, it seems like instead of helping us he is just standing back and looking at how foolish we are.
Let us put God back back and our faith in Jesus in all we do. Take everything we know about Jesus in our minds and put him in our heart.
No matter what happens when we do this, let us all love and serve the lord.

McLean County Tournament, boys edition
Fieldcrest got off to a fast start but it took a huge second-quarter charge for the Knights to swat Heyworth in the first quarterfinal game of the McLean County Tournament at the Shirk Center Monday night.
The first upset took place in the second game as No. 5 Ridgeview manhandled No. 4 Lexington to also earn a spot in Friday's semifinal round.
Fieldcrest 57, Heyworth 40
The Knights scored the first seven points of the first quarterfinal game and did not trail. But the fast start did not deter the eighth-seeded Hornets.
Heyworth managed to tie the game at 11-11 when Dallas Lee scored underneath with 1:29 left in the opening period. Unknown at the time was the last field goal for the Hornets until the second half.
In the meantime, Fieldcrest, who won last year's event and three of the last four, showed why it is the team to beat this time, as well.
The Knights outscored Heyworth 25-1 to close out the half, including a 22-1 difference in the second quarter. Drew Barth connected for a 3-pointer with 23 seconds remaining in the first quarter to start the run.
Augmenting Fieldcrest's scoring was a defense that came to life in the second period. Kyle Crowley scored twice on fastbreaks as the Knights pulled away in the first three minutes of the quarter.
Crowley and Barth, a freshman, combined for all 14 points from the end of the first period until Lee made a free throw with 4:23 to go in the first half.
"We pushed the basketball down the floor, found the open guy, moved the basketball much better, beat their press defense and got the tempo to where we wanted it," FHS head coach Matt Winkler said of the quarter.
It was almost getting to be ridiculous and painful the way Heyworth was unable to match the Knights.
What made Fieldcrest human was the way it managed to get through the second half. Leading 36-12 at the break gave the Knights a very good chance at invoking the 30-point rule — running clock — in the fourth quarter.
But Heyworth did not allow that to happen. The Hornets were able to able to outscore the Knights by two points in the third quarter and by five in the final frame.
Fieldcrest may not have finished as strong as Winkler might have wanted, but the Knights were not threatened, either.
Barth finished with 17 points to lead Fieldcrest (16-3). Crowley added 16 and Brady Sanders threw in 13.
"We wanted to come out strong. I thought we came out strong in the first half (but) had a slow start to the second half," Crowley said afterward. "Hopefully we can come back Friday."
Lee had 10 points for Heyworth.
Ridgeview 45, Lexington 32
The second game of the night appeared to be everything a game between the fourth and fifth seeds should be. But the Mustangs stepped up their defense over the final 2 1/2 quarters to stymie the Minutemen.
The two teams traded leads eight times and there was a tie over the first 12 minutes of the game. But Lexington took a timeout with 4:03 to go in the second quarter. The Minutemen hadn't scored in nearly two minutes and head coach Andrew McDowell was looking to make something happen.
What took place was RHS head coach Rodney Kellar's emphasis on defense and rebounding and his team's response. LHS managed just one free throw over the final four minutes and Ridgeview put in six points to take a 24-18 lead into the break.
"I thought Josh, Brock and Will really controlled the boards in the second half," Kellar said. "One look and done, I thought that was big."
The teams traded scores for most of the third period. The Mustangs had the edge in the scoring after Josh Weier and Matt Barnes each connected on 3-pointers.
Ridgeview snapped the tit-for-tat scoring and Lexington's frustration began to show when Evan Golliday was called for an intentional foul on Trevor McIntosh with 6.1 seconds to go in the third period.
McIntosh was pushed at the top of the key as he drove past Golliday and Nate Jacobs. He ended up sprawled on the floor after sliding into the base of the bleachers by the basket standard.
Cory Winterland came in and shot the free throws, making both, to put the Mustangs ahead 38-27 entering the last stanza.
Lexington (11-7) shot just 28 percent for the game, making 11 of 39 shots from the field. Ridgeview was a bit better by going 16 of 40 for 40 percent.
"We didn't well five feet in. I think we make those buckets it's a different game," McDowell said. "Our defensive effort held them to 45, which is pretty good. We just have to finish at the rim and make free throws."
Jonny Meints had 12 points but missed five free throws. Donavan Laible finished with 11 points and 6 rebounds.
Weier had 14 points for the Mustangs. Winterland and McIntosh each scored 8 points and Trey McCormick threw in 7 points.

Country music star, entertainer gives state Wildlife Department $20,000.
Country music star and popular entertainer Blake Shelton recently donated $20,000 to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Shelton - an Oklahoma native, reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year and three-time Male Vocalist of the Year - presented the donation to Wildlife Department Director Richard Hatcher backstage after an Oct. 4 concert in Tulsa. The donation will be used to support the Wildlife Department's suite of outdoor education programs that are designed to introduce youth to the outdoor lifestyle, one that Shelton avidly enjoys himself.
"I grew up out in the country, and life is just better lived outdoors," Shelton said. "The Wildlife Department's youth education efforts are an important way to get kids back outdoors."
The Wildlife Department is the state agency charged with conserving fish and wildlife in Oklahoma and, along with on-the-ground habitat work, much of its activity centers on building on the state's heritage of outdoor recreation. Unlike most state agencies, it receives no general state tax appropriations and is instead funded primarily by sportsmen when they buy hunting and fishing licenses and certain sporting goods. Contributions like Shelton's also are key to conservation projects that benefit wildlife and wildlife habitat.
"The Wildlife Department is committed to introducing youth to a life beyond the couch - a life of appreciating the outdoors through recreation and wildlife conservation," said Department Director Richard Hatcher. "The outdoors and wildlife are things we all can appreciate and strive to pass on to future generations. We know Blake's donation will help pass on our heritage and positively impact the lives of Oklahoma's youth. The Department is grateful to have his support."

(part 1)
Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer's basic set.
Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible.
Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early '50s and '60s].
Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design. Recent issues may also be individually and serially-numbered.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!!

Devil's Rejects, The (US - DVD R1)
New reviewer Greg Dedrick reviews Rob Zombie's latest horror exploitation movie
It's a fairly well known fact that Rob Zombie is a horror movie fanatic. From references in his music to his much lauded feature film debut, The House of 1000 Corpses, Zombie has the knowledge, love, and respect of his peers that came before him. However, those three ingredients aren't always enough to mix out a successful film. My anticipation for his first film was high and I have to admit, that upon my initial screening of the movie, something felt wrong. I had heard from various sources that this movie hearkened back to the 70s era of horror films: gritty, dirty, offensive, and downright mean. I felt none of that after the film and unfortunately there were too many negatives that I focused on rather than the few positives I saw. Sloppy editing, weak writing, and lack of real scares left me wanting my money back. When I heard that he was revisiting the characters of the original in a sequel I had no real interest in it until I saw the teaser trailer and it looked like Zombie had trimmed all the fat from his previous film and served up a real stunner of a movie. That movie was The Devil's Rejects.
This is the movie that I wanted to see. This was a movie that made me fear a director and what kind of ride he would take me on. This was the movie that House of a 1000 Corpses should have been. While the first film riffed off such movies as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Bloodsucking Freaks, this film felt more like Last House on the Left mixed with a road movie. In a nutshell, Zombie has crafted a truly horrifying picture that is devoid of 'cheap' scares and makes you truly afraid of the most horrifying monster of all: man.
The plot itself is simple: a sheriff (William Forsythe) conducts a raid at the Firefly household and the resulting fallout of what happens when three of them (Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, and Sherri Moon Zombie) go on the run from the law. As can be assumed, much mayhem ensues and Zombie takes the viewer into a world devoid of black and white and immerses them into a world of grey.
The cast is excellent and Sid Haig and Bill Moseley give chilling performances that had to be difficult to portray. Sid Haig just owns the role of the homicidal clown Captain Spaulding and his voice and mannerisms do bring a depth to the character that I found lacking in the first film. Bill Moseley's Otis is as scary talking as he is when he is actually killing. In fact, some of his diatribes in the film carry so much weight and are so intense that I found myself mesmerized with everything he said. Not so much what he spoke but how he spoke. I would listen to that man read a book on tape any day. Sherri Moon Zombie doesn't fair as well as the rest of her 'family'. Much like the first film I found her Baby grating and annoying and not able to carry her scenes like Moseley or Haig could. William Forsythe made an impression on me as well and chewed through his lines as well as the scenery. His Sheriff Wydell is intense and driven and one of the most engaging characters in the movie.
The Devils' Rejects is as much an exercise in nihilism as it is an exercise in perversity. The film lacks any central morality and I am surprised it didn't create a wave of controversy surrounding its release. However, there is a central theme of what it is to be a family and what one will do for that family, the two principle ideas being whether one would die or whether one would kill for their kin. There are transitions throughout the film where character's loyalties to family are tested and attempts made at defining what is right and what is wrong. As I stated before, the black and white elements eventually bleed together and the result is an interesting character film, most notably William Forsythe's Sheriff Wydell. His motivation to stopping the family is simple, to avenge the death of his brother (Tom Towles) who died in the first film at the hands of the Firefly family. The ghost of his brother haunts him and eventually drives him into crossing a line. Avenging his death soon evolves into something more sinister as Wydell himself becomes just as horrific and evil as the Firefly family. His actions soon mirror the atrocities of the Firefly family and the audience has to decide who to root for or even worse: decide if his actions have merit? Would we also cross that line to avenge a death of a loved one?
The film takes an interesting turn as the family that used fear as a weapon now find themselves on the other end of the barrel. Wydell's torture and abuse of the family eventually leads to his end so does his fate become a cautionary tale of what happens when you cross the line and become evil itself? The film ends on a sombre note as Zombie attempts to produce some sympathy for the Firefly family by splicing home movies of the family in better times along with their Bonnie and Clyde fate. This attempt at humanizing the family, along with the torture they go through, creates an interesting dilemma for the viewer: do you dare and feel bad for them or should we be rooting for their demise?
The film boasts an impressive list of co-stars, most notably from other heralded 70s films. Most of the names you probably wouldn't recognize but once you see the faces it hits you. Michael Berryman, Ken Foree, Danny Trejo, Priscilla Barnes, Geoffrey Lewis, and P.J. Soles are just a few of the actors Zombie was able to cast and utilize. I applaud him for casting such underappreciated actors and can't wait to see who he digs out for future projects.
Lion's Gate has presented The Devil's Rejects in anamorphic video transfer of the film's theatrical ratio of 1.85:1. The transfer is crisp and the colours are as vibrant as they can be considering the grittiness that Zombie was shooting for. Considering the feel of the film I was expecting lower quality film but was surprised to see the sharpness of the colours. There were bits of black that seemed to bleed a bit but nothing too substantial to warrant sufficient warning of the disc.
Lion's Gate offers two choices of audio as you have the 6.1 DTS ES Digital as well as the standard 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound. The Dolby Digital is solid as always however there are several times where the soundtrack to the film is competing with the dialogue and becomes a tad bit annoying. Finding a balance should be expected with this disc if you want to get your money's worth.
Lion's Gate needs to be commended as The Devil's Rejects DVD is loaded to the point of being obnoxious. This two-disc set boasts two feature length commentaries, deleted scenes, a blooper reel, make-up tests, five featurettes from the film, and a still gallery as well as the trailers and television spots.
The first commentary is from Rob Zombie himself and he comes off very humble and self-deprecating at times, which made the commentary enjoyable to listen to. Nothing bothers me more than directors that take themselves too seriously. There is a lot of information that he covers as he points out all sorts of continuity differences between his two films and explains his attempts at trying to humanize his characters. All in all an enjoyable listen. The other commentary track features Sherri Moon Zombie, Sid Haig, and Bill Moseley. The rapport these three have is instantly recognizable and their passion and overall enthusiasm for the project is infectious. They constantly rib one another and their anecdotes from the set are great. Turns out Moon Zombie nearly lost her hearing in one of the shootout scenes. They don't go into as much detail as Zombie but a fun commentary nonetheless.
The deleted scenes generally are extended scenes from the film and one of the more notorious scenes depicts just what happened to a certain Dr. from the first film. Most of the other scenes were cut for pacing and really didn't add much to the layers of the characters.
The blooper reel is exactly how it sounds and I had to admit seeing Moseley resort to cursing after flubbing his lines which consisted mostly of curses was very amusing. There are several extended pieces from bits that you see in the movie. There are two commercials for Captain Spaulding's place of business, the entire Morris Green talk show, the Buck Owen's video, and a fairly disturbing home video of Otis and one of his victims. There is a small but nice tribute piece to Matthew McGrory who played Tiny in both films. He passed away shortly after the film was released.
The real meat and potatoes of the special features comes on the second disc of the set. Clocking in at over two hours is a making of documentary that showcases the pre-production as well as the twenty nine days that it took to shoot the movie. This is as in-depth as it comes as fans of the movie, as well as those looking for a little know-how on filmmaking will enjoy. From the costumes, to the location scouting, to getting the right amount of blood right, nothing is overlooked in this making of and I particularly found the juxtaposition of seeing how a film was shot and the final product that ended up on the screen. Definitely not your standard EPK fluff piece.
More or less I am always left with an uneasy feeling after watching this movie. Not having a central character to root for, not having a happy ending, all these things I love. This is not your standard Hollywood fare and I applaud Zombie for that. The uneasy feeling comes from knowing there are psychos like the Firefly family out there in the real world. This is a film that doesn't mock reality and makes you afraid. Kudos to Rob Zombie for making me afraid again.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Pre-Purchase Car Inspection Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
Find a RepairPal Certified Shop
Why get a pre-purchase car inspection?
No protective measure is better when selling or purchasing a vehicle, than to have a third-party, professional technician perform a pre-purchase inspection before a transaction is made. Getting a professional pre-purchase inspection (PPI) on a vehicle before you buy can be the best decision you make in the purchase process. It can tell you about not only the immediate but also future needed repairs. These will help you determine if the entire cost of the vehicle, including the needed repairs, are within your budget.
Even more important than dollars saved is you and your passengers' safety. Most states in the U.S. do not require annual vehicle safety inspections, so the responsibility is on you and a trusted mechanic to ensure the vehicle you buy is safe to drive.
What does a pre-purchase car inspection include?
There are two categories of inspections: basic and comprehensive.
A basic inspection usually includes a visual inspection of the interior, exterior, and under-hood of the vehicle. It may also include a basic component test and test drive.
A comprehensive inspection includes everything in a basic inspection, as well as other services, such as a diagnostic scan, additional engine tests, and a more in-depth test drive.
- Visual inspection: When a visual inspection is performed, the technician may find body damage, hidden or unreported repairs of collision damage, as well as any manner of leaks, including engine oil, transmission, differential, brake fluid, fuel, coolant, and power steering. He or she will also look for worn or corroded components and will check the general condition of the vehicle's interior. He or she will also check for worn or uneven wear on tires. Uneven tire wear is usually an indicator of improper alignment, which may be caused by worn suspension components or off settings.
- Vehicle body inspection: When checking the body of the vehicle, the technician will check whether the paint color matches on all panels and if there is over-spray in between or underneath body panels. This is usually an indicator of a re-paint, which if not disclosed by the seller, could be hiding previous collision damage. Other things technicians can look for while assessing body damage are cracked welds, uneven panel gaps, or bent frames, and he or she will use a magnet to check for thick body filler.
- Worn or corroded components: Some of the common worn or corroded components that can be identified during a PPI may include batteries, cables, tires, belts, fluid condition, brake/fuel lines, exhaust, gas tank, and rust on body or frame of the vehicle.
- Test drive: A test drive will help the technician identify problems such as:
- Alignment issues, which are usually identified when a vehicle either pulls to one side of the road or tends to wander from one side to the other. This can be caused by improper settings or worn suspension components.
- Noises, which may come from many sources and indicate different problems. Squeaks and rattles are usually caused by interior panels. Wind noises are usually caused by misaligned windows or worn seals. Clunks and rattling may also indicate loose or broken vehicle component mounts.
- Steering issues, usually related to suspension/alignment. Other issues with steering may include hard turning, which usually indicates a problem with the power assist system or if the driver experiences excessive play it may be any component from the steering column down to the suspension.
- Braking issues, which may include vibration/shaking during braking, which usually indicates warped brake rotors. Having to apply excessive force to brakes for a complete stop usually indicates a problem with the brake assist system. Squealing or chirping may indicate glazed rotors or other problems with brake components.
How long does a pre-purchase inspection take?
Pre-purchase inspections usually take around an hour, but can range from as quick as thirty minutes to as long as a couple hours. In some cases the technician might request the car be left overnight, so they can observe the vehicle when it is cold.
When do I need a pre-purchase car inspection?
Pre-purchase inspections are recommended anytime you buy a used vehicle. Ideally, both parties in a vehicle sale should have an inspection completed. If one party decides not to complete an inspection, that party may have no claim to the condition of the vehicle prior to the transaction.
What If the seller won't allow a pre-purchase inspection?
If a seller will not allow a pre-purchase car inspection, the chances are high that they are aware of a serious issue. In this case you may want to reconsider purchasing the vehicle and instead look for another that can be properly inspected for any problems before you spend your hard-earned time and money.
What else should I do to ensure I'm making a wise purchase?
In addition to a PPI, here are some additional things you can do to make sure you make the right purchase decision and protect the value of this major investment:
- Run a vehicle history report. This is done by submitting your VIN (vehicle identification number) to a service that provides these types of reports. You can usually find your VIN on the driver-side top of the dashboard or the driver-side door jam.
- Drive the car as much as possible before you buy it and then write down any abnormalities you noticed during your drive.
- Let the car idle for an extended period of time.
- Make sure to test out all the gadgets and functions of the vehicle.
Who can perform a pre-purchase inspection?
Many repair facilities allow their shop hands to conduct pre-purchase inspections, but these are not always ASE certified technicians. Pre-purchase inspections are generally not recognized should you need it, unless it was performed by an ASE technician, so make sure you request the work to be completed by an ASE certified technician, or, if possible, an ASE certified master technician.

The Department went to great lengths to design an application review process that could not be influenced by bias or a conflict of interest. Features of it include:
The Department's application review process was designed to ensure that all applications were scored solely on merit, and that each portion of the application was compartmentalized and scored by separate teams of individuals who were required to reach a consensus score on each of their respective portions for each applicant.
No individual reviewer involved in the scoring of license applications provided more than one-third of a consensus vote toward a portion of the application's final score. And no reviewer had access to any information that would allow them to know the identity of any applicant.
Commerce is responsible for standing up a safe, patient-centered, transparent and sustainable program as outlined in H.B. 523.

Ukrainian beer market 2018
- Better than yesterday
- Performance by value
- Positions of Ukrainian brewers
The beer market dynamics in Russia is approaching zero, yet major brewers are divided into those who developed considerably in 2017 and those who considerably reduced their volumes. For instance, company Efes has managed to substantially extend their sales due to restrained pricing policy and activity in the modern trade. Heineken has also demonstrated an excellent performance promoted by significant increase of advertisement budgets launching a non-alcohol sort of the title brand and unusual activity in the economy market segment. Carlsberg and AB InBev have been focusing on margins and lost a market share of their inexpensive brands. Serious dependence on PET package and mass enthusiasm about Zhigulevskoe have negatively impacted the most of big regional brewers, that have been for the first time pressed by the leaders in the key sales channels, especially in Volga and Central regions. In the small business there has been a noticeable slowdown in appearing of new restaurant breweries, yet the number of craft breweries has been growing rapidly. In 2018, the beer market is likely to grow a little, while the share of AB InBev Efes may decrease due to the integration. ...
"Catalogue of Russian Beer Producers 2018" includes 1070 businesses ranging from large subsidiaries of international companies to rather small restaurant and craft microbreweries.The catalogue includes 32 large breweries, 75 regional breweries, 693 industrial mini- and microbreweries as well as 270 restaurant breweries. ...
Beer Business (Pivnoe Delo) #4-2017
Global hop market
A local alternative to mass beer suggested by independent brewers has been successful and is now altering the global market. Beer is becoming more diversified, so transnational companies have to accept the new game rules and to switch focus to young and fast growing markets. All these processes increased the demand for aroma and bitter hop as well as their acreage expansion on two continents. However now there appeared a downward trend of alcohol consumption in the world, so even special sorts can soon turn to be sufficient. In this connection the dynamic American hop market is already facing some problems. EU hop producers have become more cautious, they are not racing to exceed the demand and look forward with more confidence, judging by the contract terms.
Hop Market in Russia
Germany still dominates the Russian market, yet over the recent two years one has been able observe a continuous success of Czech hop suppliers. Their expansion and growing popularity of hops from the United States became the drivers of supplies growth in 2016 despite the preceding modest harvest crop in the EU, as well as the factor of relative stability in 2017. In this connection, in 2017, the ratio of the varieties continued to shift towards the aroma ones, and the supplies of Magnum hop and other alpha varieties were reduced. However, the import of bitter hop pellets is partially replaced by extracts, especially from the major beer manufacturers. Total volumes of alpha acid supplies, according to our estimation, decreased by approximately 5% and returned to the level of 2015. Barth Haas Group continues dominating the hop products market; HVG also increased its weight. At the same time, Morris Hanbury significantly reduced the supplies in 2017.

Neo FreeRunner
The Neo FreeRunner (internal codename GTA02) is the second phone designed to run Openmoko software and is the direct descendant of the earlier Neo 1973.
FreeRunner is released!
The FreeRunner can be purchased from the Online Store as of July 3, 2008. The software available on the phone makes it suitable for power users and developers only, it is not ready for the general consumer yet. Email announcements and found on the announce mailing list. For frequently asked questions please check FAQ.
If you've just received your FreeRunner, check out Getting Started with your Neo FreeRunner.
- Very high resolution touch screen (1.7" x 2.27" - 43mm x 58mm) 480x640 pixels
- 128MB SDRAM memory
- 256 MB integrated flash memory (expandable with microSD or microSDHC card)
- uSD slot supporting up to 8GB SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards (Supported microSD cards; installation)
- Internal GPS module
- Bluetooth
- 802.11 b/g WiFi
- 400Mhz ARM processor
- 2 3D accelerometers so that the phone can know its orientation for example switching to landscape mode automatically
- 2 LEDs illuminating the two buttons on the rim of the case (one bi color [blue|orange] behind the power button, 1 uni color [red] behind the aux button)
- Tri-band GSM and GPRS
- USB Host function with 500mA power allowing you to power USB devices for short periods (will drain the FreeRunner battery faster)
Versions: The Neo FreeRunner is available in two versions, one for the GSM bands of North America (850/1800/1900 Mhz), and one for the GSM bands in the rest of the world (900/1800/1900 Mhz). Unless you explicitly discuss this, a local reseller may by default send you the version appropriate to the distributors location.
A full list of the hardware specs and components of the Neo FreeRunner can be found at Neo FreeRunner Hardware.
A comparison between Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner is available at Neo 1973 vs Neo FreeRunner.
What is the price?
The device is being sold through multiple channels (including Openmoko.com), the official price has been set to 399$ but it could slightly vary in some countries (due to taxes).
Intended use and users
The Neo FreeRunner is a Linux-based touch screen smart phone ultimately aimed at general consumer use as well as Linux desktop users and software developers.
Linux users and software developers will appreciate the total freedom they have to use and design software for the FreeRunner.
General phone users will eventually appreciate the high spec and performance of the phone and the wide range of free software packages expected to emerge. These will allow users to make the maximum use of the hardware and tailor it to their particular needs. Since launch, the pace of software tweaks and improvements has increased as both the Openmoko team developers and the wider community work together.
How usable is it?
As the hacker's dream toy: it is fully functional. As a GSM phone: some people have been using it to receive and place phone calls and SMS for months, but with currently shipping software the battery life is only one day. As a GPS device: critical bugs have been ironed out and there is nice software to know where you are using OpenStreetMap. As an alarm clock, media player, internet browser, game console, email reader and contacts manager: software is not stable yet.
If you want a fully functional smart phone, then download the Qtopia distribution. If you want to help OM develop it's end user applications, then download 2008.8. It's still "Alpha", which means its not feature complete, but it will give you an idea of the direction we are headed. Read more about these and other distributions, then choose for yourself.
Please see the FreeRunner: Selected Blogs and Articles to get more reviews. The Neo FreeRunner Hardware Issues page may also be of interest.

If you're Orthodox, why would you even consider joining a Roman religious order?
I think you need to chop some wood and pray all day, for the next 20 years or so!
Don't believe everything you think.
The more I know, the less I know.
I've put a lot of thought into Orthodox monasticism and I find it to be a little too rigid.
What would there be to do besides pray and chop wood?
http://www.stmartin.edu/abbey/index.htm St. Martin's abbey is of the Benedictine Order, the oldest monastic Order in the Church.
I think you need to chop some wood and pray all day, for the next 20 years or so!
What good does chopping wood do for the world? At least the Benedictines serve society through education.
...instead of being a pig-headed lout who always insists that he is right, which is the opposite attitude displayed by any true monk.
Matthew,You are deluded. I think you need to chop some wood and pray all day, for the next 20 years or so!
You dishonor the communities that you are considering, both Catholic and Orthodox, by the shallowness of the basis on which you purport to choose between them.
What more good can a monastic do for the world, than pray for them? People are too busy with the rat race and trying to get to the top and pray is the first to suffer.
Prayer is important but that is not all the good we can do for the world. If God desires me to be more than a prayerful lumberjack, then I will heed that call.
Matthew777,All I would advise is that you take some time to think, reflect and above all PRAY before you go any further down your latest avenue of spiritual exploration. You seem to be very unsure as to what it is you believe which is a stage I'm sure many people go through (I know I did) but you don't seem to be willing to settle down into any one belief for long - you seem to be a 'spiritual butterfly' for want of a better term.
Matthew777,Since I have been on this forum you seem to have changed from an OO theistic evolutionist, to an OO young earther, to an OO but ROCOR leaning Fr. Seraphim devotee, to a EO/OO, not really sure, might be old earth creationist, to, now, an RC leaning would be monastic philanthropist.
Matthew777,I have no reason to doubt your intentions or sincerity but, in my honest opinion, you come across as an extremely confused person.
Ah, but the question is whether being more than a prayerful lumberjack is truly God's desire, or if it's actually your desire that you're attributing to God.
I do not have reason to consider the words of forum members where they contradict the advice of my clergy. I would not be considering to join a Catholic Order if I had not been advised by a priest to consider it.There is still plenty of time for me to receive guidance before I make that decision. May peace be upon thee and with thy spirit.
I don't know what this is but this is not art:"Gospel BookIn 1976, the Abbey published a Gospel Book with illustrations by Seth Polanski and calligraphy by Tim Girvin. The book includes the major feasts of Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, St. Benedict, All Saints, and St. Martin. This oversized leather-bound book with images and Gospel passages for the feasts is a true work of art."http://www.stmartin.edu/abbey/gospel_book.htmWhat the heck?
If the Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church is in Communion with Rome, the of course it is plausible that one of their clergy might recommend you to join a Roman Catholic Order!
Exactly! It's freaky looking
Elisha,If it is, it'll be a matter of much surprise to both Mor Ephrem and to Benedict XVI.Many years,Neil
The Malankara Church is rather ecumenical and allows Roman Catholics to receive communion. Deacon Gabriel recomended the Benedictines for being a traditional Order. He went to St. Martin's for college. Father Michael considers it a good possibility also. May peace be upon thee and with thy spirit.
So you trust the opinions of two whittie convert priests over what your bishop Mar Barnabas might think??
I would assume that Bishop Mar Makarios would be open-minded also.
I would be VERY careful about what you assume. Go ask him first!
Because he's not really Orthodox - read his religion entry.
Obviously your conversion was not genuine. Your spiritual fathers are probably acknowledging this fact now. It was impulsive- believe me I have done some impulsive things I am not proud of. You should have had a longer catechumenate. Your spiritual father in the Malankara church has probably given up on your possibility of remaining orthodox. Take Care
It is ironic how the members of this forum always recomend that I seek the guidence of my clergy in spiritual matters except for when they disagree with your opinions. I would assume that Bishop Mar Makarios would be open-minded also. I am not strong enough of a person to start my own monastery. If the monastery is "progressive" or "modernist" instead of traditional Catholic, then I probably wouldn't even think about joining. I'll have to visit first before I can make a decision. May peace be upon thee and with thy spirit.
Why should I care about what you say?:Yes, I am a "monophysite heretic" and by your advice, I will consult my "heretical" bishop. :-May peace be upon thee and with thy spirit.
You do not even know enough about me to question my conversion to Orthodoxy and make judgements on my spiritual fathers. This is the same pharisaical attitude that I have been talking about. My spiritual fathers are happy with my dedication to patristics and Orthodox theology and consider the Benedictine Order to be a good possibility considering how ancient it is. If it is no longer traditional, then I will not join it. May peace be upon thee and with thy spirit.
I guess if you were a resident of Berkeley you could consider that real art!
