10-team H2H Yahoo! 5x5 keeper league.
We can keep 5 players each year.
Round 6 is conducted offline each year. Rds 7-25 are online snake draft.
Roster: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 3 OF, Util, 3 SP, 2 RP, P, 10 bench spots (which I split 3 hitters and 7 pitchers)
- I am currently on the clock (pick #57) and am trying to decide between Greinke and Hunter Pence. Please help and I'll return the favor.
My keepers were:
1B - Mark Teixeira
2B - Ian Kinsler
SS - Hanley Ramirez
OF - Carlos Gonzalez
SP - Felix Hernandez
- I am going to wait on a catcher until later in the draft.
- There are still 4 solid 3Bs left (ARam; MYoung; McGehee; Alvarez + Sandoval) with only 3 teams needing a 3B, so I think I'll wait a round or two.
There are lots of SPs available, but SPs are always highly valued in this league and they will go fast. Available SPs include:
Grienke, Jimenez, Haren, Weaver, Hanson, Carpenter, Hamels, Price, J. Johnson, Gallardo, Latos, Liriano, Billingsley, Cain, Oswalt, Scherzer, etc.
There aren't as many OFs that I would like on my team. Options include:
Pence, Victorino, Ichiro, B. Upton, C. Young, Rasmus, Hart, D. Young, Granderson, Stanton, Sizemore, etc.
I'm not interested in Ichiro unless I was sure to get Stanton.
Considering how deep SP is and how many OF are already off the board (18 already drafted), it seems like I should go with Pence. However, I'm really intrigued by Greinke in the NL central. About 10% of his outs will now be against a pitcher instead of a DH. I'm 50/50 right now.
Please help! Leave a link and I'll reply.

Sports Injuries
Podiatrists & Sports-Related Injuries
Whether you are a professional athlete or play sports just for fun, the demands made on your feet and lower limbs can lead to a range of injuries, including, ingrown toe nails, nail infections, blisters, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, shin splints ( anterior leg pain), knee pain, low back pain and other joint or muscle problems. Added to these are common complaints such as corns, calluses and Athlete's foot. Your running style, collapsing arches, poor footwear and even minor limb length differences contribute significantly to sports injury.
Visiting a podiatrist like, Dr. Robert Scott Steinberg should be your first step towards getting back on your feet after a sports injury. Dr. Steinberg can not only help treat your current foot or ankle pain, but provide you with helpful tips to prevent future sports injuries. Put your feet first and make an appointment to visit Dr. Steinberg.
Here are some tips for athletic foot care:
- Wash your feet every day, and dry thoroughly.
- If you suffer from foot odor, try applying hand sanitizer to your feet.
- For sports, wear only good-quality, well-fitting synthetic wicking sport socks.
- Always use the correct shoe for each sport and surface.
- Get in shape. Being overweight or out of shape places added stress on the feet. Condition yourself gradually with stretching exercises for 15-20 minutes before starting and after any activity ("warm-up" and "warm-down").
- Wear correct shoes. Footwear should be given the same consideration as any other piece of sporting equipment. Sports shoes should protect as much as
possible, be durable, and should be right for the sport. If running, the shoe should have adequate support and cushioning in the mid-sole, and stability features.
- When buying shoes, remember, the proper width is also important.

"There is, firstly, political Islam, which exploits a religion that is the fact of a few. The burkini is not a religious sign, it is the affirmation in the public space for political Islamism" – F. Valls – French Prime Minister.
Category Archives: islam
My high point of the 2016 Olympics – Bikini vs Burkini.
Nothing illustrates the culture clash of Islam and the west better than a bikini vs burkini olympic volleyball match.
At least the Italian woman has remembered to protect her eyes, hey?! That's a nice pair of Sunglasses! 😀
I find myself looking at the inappropriateness of both these outfits in regards to the sport being played and wonder which one I actually prefer. I guess if I looked anywhere near as good as the woman on the left then I would probably feel right at home in a pair of dental-floss knickers. But the fact remains that after 3 kids I would probably prefer to heap my fat porridge belly into the outfit on the right. 😀
But seriously, I'm not sure I would be too happy about letting my teenage son watch this match on TV…
Unlike the West, Islam has not passed through a secular sexual revolution. I do not like very much about Islam, but I do appreciate their value of modesty – even if they do take it to the Nth degree.
And this is probably the time to articulate my pet hate about semi naked women in church. Why?! Why do you not think about what you are wearing?! What are your clothes saying to the men around you – including the priest? Why come to church in hotpants?! Why expose the rest of us to your acres of naked flesh?! Why does my husband have to have your butt in his face when he is trying to pray?!
And then of course there are the strapless bridesmaids dresses…
But seriously, more and more these days I am finding that the western sexual revolution has run its sordid course. Modesty has actually become counter cultural in our society, which means like everything else counter cultural, it is going to be attracting those who find themselves disillusioned and unsatisfied with what western secular culture has to offer.
And while the Feminazis brains go into shut down at the sight of this volleyball match due to not knowing which of the women is more oppressed and exploited, someone needs to teach all those people disillusioned and unsatisfied with our hyper sexualised culture about modesty, and religion.
And if the Christians don't do it, the Muslims will be more than happy to do so.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church!
I have found myself really mourning Fr. Hamel. A sweet, kind old priest whom I have never met – yet I still call "Father".
I have cried real tears today because they killed my gentle old Father.
Father Jacques Hamel was killed in the same manner as his patron, Saint James, on his Feast day. Saint James, one of the twelve Apostles, was martyred by beheading in the year 44.
It is hard to see through the pain of such an event, but today, as I went to the church to pray it started to make sense.
There were a lot of people in the church today. Lots more than usual. And I didn't recognize them. But they were there to pray. So we all knelt alongside each other, grieving our poor French Father.
I began to wonder how many people all around the world have been moved by his death? How many have visited a church today to pray or light a candle? How many have raised their hearts and minds to God – even just to ask "Why?". It is still a prayer.
Perhaps the answer to that question lies in the fact that they have begun to talk to God. Perhaps a gentle old priest, beheaded during an ordinary morning Mass is enough to shake people out of their comfort zones and realise that evil is real, God is real, and death comes when we least expect it.
Through his brutal matyrdom, Fr. Hamel continues in death his essential work as a priest – to draw souls to Christ. And this gives his death meaning and purpose, and great glory to God!
Tertullian really was right when he said "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church!"
Rest in peace dear Father. Santo Subito!
Dear LGBT Community, Come to Jesus and know how much you are loved.
Dear LGBT community,
Come to Jesus and know how much you are loved. Every Christian is a sinner. The Church is just made up of a whole bunch of sinners in need of a saviour. So if you are a sinner too, you are gonna fit in just fine! Jesus doesn't like people who point fingers at other people's sin. When he saved a young woman from being stoned to death he looked at the crowed of accusers around her and told them:
"When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."" – (John 8:7)
Let me tell you about God…
God loves His children UNCONDITIONALLY. He loves you and me so much that He sent His only son Jesus to die on a cross to pay the price for our sins. He did this because He wants you and me to be with Him for all eternity after we die. He created you unique, special, beautiful, one of a kind.
"Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered." – (Luke 12:7)
"For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you God, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." – (Psalm 139)
Come and find out more about this love.
We are all sinners. Jesus wants to forgive us and set us free. He wants us to see ourselves through His eyes, so we can realise how much we are loved. Not once we decide to leave our old lives behind and follow Him, but RIGHT NOW. He loves you RIGHT NOW.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." – (Romans 5:8)
Come to Jesus. Come and find out about how much He loves you. Come and find out about His mercy and forgiveness.
The terror attack in Orlando was a hate crime. It was carried out by a man who had learned to hate himself. He believed his religion hated him because he too was experiencing same-sex attraction.
If only he could have known the truth about how much he was loved by Jesus – even in the depths of his hate and despair, he was still loved. He didn't know how much He was loved.
It is too late now. I commit him, and all those who were killed in the club that night to the mercy of God. They all now stand face to face with their creator. One day, we all will stand face to face with our creator.
You are angry, of course. But please don't let that anger grow into hate. Instead come and learn about Love as you have never known it before.
God has a plan for your life. He wants you back. Turn to Jesus now and begin the most incredible relationship of your life.
Jesus, I don't know who you are. Everything I've been taught about you doesn't seem to make sense anymore. How can you love me when I am a sinner? How can you do that? I have turned my back on God many times in my life Jesus. I want to come to you. Help me come to you and give my heart to you. I want to know who I am through your eyes. I want to know about Your love, Your mercy, Your forgiveness. I want to know how much you love me.

Christianity is the answer.
I was watching my 2 year old playing along side a little muslim boy in the soft play center today and for some reason I started thinking "Those two will never be able to marry". A strange thought considering they are both babies – but I'm right aren't I? For them to be able to marry, one of them would have to convert to the others religion – or they would both have to renounce their religions. Whichever way it would cause enormous upset to both families. However at this toddler age, they can play together just fine. I smile at his headscarf wearing mother, and she smiles back. But we both know the score.
My 6 year old came home from school recently and told me confused that a muslim child had told her that "Jesus is a slave." I had to compose myself before answering her. I quietly asked her "Who do we say that Jesus is?" she answered "The Son of God!" I told her "That's right!" . And at 6 years old, that is enough – enough for today at least. There have been other questions about why so-and-so is not baptised and I tell her "Because their parents don't understand why it is important. But hopefully they will realise for themselves when they are older." And in the back of my mind I have to take control of the unpleasant thought: 'I wish so-and-so was not in my daughter's class.'
That, of course, is not a very inclusive or politically correct thought to have. What we have all be told by the powers that be is that multiculturalism is a good thing. Diversity is a good thing. And if you say otherwise it means that you are a racist and a bigot and you are basically Hitler – or at least that is what the militant lefties tell you. They probably learned that from this book when they were kids 😉 :
But i'm afraid that is just not true. I'm not a racist or a bigot. What I am is a realist. It is obvious to me that two cultures of completely opposing beliefs are never going to fully integrate. We can live alongside each other with tolerance and respect, but we are never going to fully integrate. What multiculturalism has done is to set up a community of tension. It also serves to destroy national identity, because to be proud of your country and of your country's faith heritage would be (according to the secularists) terribly offensive to those of other races or faiths.
This secular apologetic, pathetic attitude, along with the encouraged steady loss of morality and the wanton destruction of everything Christian has been the fertile ground in which the seeds of radical Islam has been firmly planted. And they have surely and steadily grown – and continue to do so. No government has effectively tackled the root cause of the problem. No government has had the balls to do so, because to do so would be to admit that all their efforts at multiculturalism and integration over the last 20 or so years has been at best a catastrophic failure, and at worst a co-ordinated and planned attack on Christian Europe and the UK. The problem is Islam. And still, still no-one in power is brave enough to stand up and say so. Mr. Cameron, Ms. Merkel, Mr Hollande, Mr Obama? Anyone? No.
Ask any vaguely educated Muslim and they will be able to tell you that the big issue within Islam is that there is no central teaching. In very much the same way that Protestantism works, each Imam is able to interpret the Qu'ran as he sees fit. And any man can set himself up as an Imam. This leaves the door wide open for misinterpretation of scripture. In Protestantism the end result of this is groups like Westbro Baptist Church. In Islam you get ISIS.
And though President Obama and other Western leaders have persistently attempted to divorce the ISIS from the religion of Islam, some influential members of the Muslim community apparently disagree. A report from 2014 notes that Egypt's oldest Islamic university, Al-Azhar University, refuses to declare ISIS heretical to Islam.
The Al-Monitor's Ahmed Fouad details the "honorable" Al-Azhar university's official declarations concerning ISIS, which it refuses to condemn as apostate, or heretical to the teachings of Islam.
Back in Dec of 2014, the university issued a statement refusing to declare ISIS apostates. "No believer can be declared an apostate, regardless of his sins," read the university's statement, which was issued shortly after some interpreted an influential Nigerian Muslim authority as having pronounced the group heretical, which the university strongly denied.
Now let me just make myself perfectly clear on something. I do not have issue with muslim people as such – but with their creed. It is what is written in the Qu'ran that I have the major problem with. People are made by God, for God, and people can change. Ideology cannot change, and what is written in the book can't change. The fact that several verses in the Quran tell muslims to go kill their enemies does not sit well with me. In Christianity we are told to find ways to love our enemies – not kill them.
Islam is the problem. Each muslim sect of course claims to be the correct one with the correct interpretation. And in some ways I actually find sympathy with those who are taking the radical path. After all – I am called to be a radical Christian. I understand this desire to give ones all to their faith. I also understand the desire to adhere to what is orthodox. It seems to me that the islamic radicals are simply adhering more closely to what it actually says in the Qu'ran, than the moderate muslims who are more 'flexible' in implementing their religious zeal. But is this radicalisation doing more harm to Islam than good?
Islam will reportedly become the world's largest religion 55 years from now based on recent projections, but could the barbarous practices of the ISIS actually undermine the growth of the world's Muslim population?
According to a recent Pew Research Center study, Christianity and Islam will be near parity by 2050, with Christians expected to comprise 31.4 percent of the planet's population against 29.7 percent who follow Islam. The study said Islam will grow more than twice as fast as any other major religion over the next half century because muslims generally have a higher fertility rate than the contraceptive loving Europeans.
However, Muslims frightened by the inhumane acts by the ISIS are now questioning their faith, and presumably considering to leave it. This is backed by testimonies from missionaries working in the Islamic world who noted the large scale of Muslims who have converted to Christianity in the last 14 years since the devastating Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the US. The number of converts in the recent period, they said, is greater than during the entire 14 centuries of Islamic history.
"Many Muslims are saying, 'If ISIS is Islam, I'm leaving.' Some are becoming atheists," said Brother Rachid, who hosts a Christian program reaching Muslims called "Daring Questions" in Arabic language. "There is a huge wave of atheism in the Arab world right now and many are turning to Jesus Christ. Islam was never faced with this crisis before…Islam is going to collapse," added Brother Rachid, whose father is a Moroccan imam who lived as a secret Christian convert for 15 years.
This is also the case in Angered Alliance Church in Sweden. Pastor Fouad Rasho, who has in the last few years baptized more than a hundred former Muslims, maintained that ISIS causes many Muslims to come to Jesus. But most converts keep their shift in religion a secret, fearing for their lives and for being an outcast. Imram (not his real name), a British college student from a Pakistani immigrant family, said leaving Islam is tough:
"If someone leaves Islam and becomes an apostate, he is thrown out of his family; his family will be the first ones to abandon him," he said. "(But) Every week I meet one or more persons who come to me and want to know more about Christianity and the Bible because they are very angry about being a Muslim. They don't want to continue to be Muslim….His friends will reject him and he will be killed or he will be persecuted. A lot of my friends said, 'This is the last time I'm talking to you because you disrespected the prophet Mohammed, you disrespected Islam.'"
When Nassim Ben Iman came with his parents to Germany as immigrants from a Muslim nation, he remembers thinking that if Germany is a Christian nation, then Christianity is a dead, sinful religion. "So nakedness on the television is because of the Christian religion. Living together not married is because of the Christian religion." Nassim recalled thinking. Of course what Nassim was witnessing was not the fault of Christianity, but the wanton destruction of Christian values and morality in general that europe has experienced over the last century. Thankfully Nassim discovered the truth and has since converted to Christianity. "When the people understand who Jesus is, they will love Him and follow Him more and more. And when the Muslims understand more and more what Mohammed is, what the Koran is, what the history is, then they will go farther and farther away from Islam,"
Surely Europe, with is 80 million muslim migrant influx should be promoting Christianity to those arriving on its shores? But sadly the European militant secularists have seen to it that almost every last shred of Christian heritage has being destroyed, or at least suppressed from the national identity of Europeans. Because of this spiritual and moral void, politically correct Europe has become the perfect fertile ground in which the shoots of radical Islam can flourish. I really truly can understand why young European Muslims feel trapped between secularist atheism and radical Islam. But some are finding hope in Christianity.
Let us not be afraid to confront the twin demons of radical Islam and radical secularism, and offer the solution of Christianity to the poor lost souls who are victims of both.
From Santa Claus to Islam: An Arian Triumph.
Sunday 6th Dec is the feast of St Nicholas. For those who don't know already, the name Santa Claus evolved from St Nick's Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas. So the jolly old man in red with a white beard that we all know as Father Christmas is actually St Nicholas.
St. Nicholas was a Bishop who lived in the fourth century AD in Myra in Asia Minor (now called Turkey). He was a very rich man because his parents died when he was young and left him a lot of money. He was also a very kind man and had a reputation for helping the poor and giving secret gifts to people who needed it.
But the thing he is most famous for is punching Arius' lights out during the Council of Nicea in 325 AD!
Arius was the major player in the Arian Controversy. This controversy centered upon the nature of the Son of God, and his precise relationship to God the Father. Arians do not believe in the traditional doctrine of the Trinity. They did not accept that Christ was God, but instead believed him to be simply a human being, and subordinate to God the Father. They had funny ideas about the Holy Spirit too.
Anyway, St Nick got so peed off with Arius' ramblings that he sparked him out right then and there onto the floor during the council in front of 300 other Bishops! Arianism was declared heresy, and no-one was aloud to practice it anymore.
However, much of southeastern Europe and central Europe, including many of the Goths and Vandals had embraced Arianism. In the west, organized Arianism survived in North Africa, in Hispania, and parts of Italy until it was finally suppressed in the 6th and 7th centuries.
So what has all this got to do with Islam?
Muhammad was born in Mecca in about the year 570. Muhammad's father, Abdullah, died almost six months before he was born. According to Islamic tradition, soon after birth he was sent to live with a Bedouin family in the desert, as desert life was considered healthier for infants. Muhammad stayed with his foster-mother, Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb, and her husband until he was two years old.
At the age of six, Muhammad lost his biological mother Amina to illness and became an orphan. For the next two years, he was under the guardianship of his paternal grandfather Abd al-Muttalib until Muhammad was eight years old. He then came under the care of his uncle Abu Talib.
In his teens, Muhammad accompanied his uncle on Syrian trading journeys to gain experience in commercial trade. Islamic tradition states that when Muhammad was either nine or twelve while accompanying the Meccans' caravan to Syria, he met a Christian monk named Bahira who is said to have foreseen Muhammad's career as a prophet of God.
When the caravan was passing by Bahira's cell, the monk invited the merchants to a feast. They accepted the invitation, leaving the boy to guard the camel. Bahira, however, insisted that everyone in the caravan should come to him. Then a miraculous occurrence indicated to the monk that Muhammad was to become a prophet.
It was a miraculous movement of a cloud that kept shadowing Muhammad regardless of the time of the day. The monk revealed his visions of Muhammad's future to the boy's uncle (Abu Talib), warning him to preserve the child from the Jews or from the Byzantines – depending on who's version of the story you read.
Both versions write that the monk Bahira found the announcement of the coming of Muhammad in the original, unadulterated gospels, which he possessed (the standard Islamic view is that Christians corrupted the gospels, in part by erasing any references to Muhammad.)
The thing is, the Christian monk Bahira was an Arian. And after pronouncing to the teenage orphaned Muhammad that he was going to be this great future prophet, he then no doubt did his best to educate the boy with a load of Arian nonsense.
Muhammad of course was illiterate. And so anything that was learned during his formative years would had to have been memorised. He then had a relatively successful life as a traveling merchant until he had his first vision at around the age of 40 years old.
When I visited the Ahmadiyya Mosque a few weeks ago I was really surprised to find how many similarities there are between Catholicism and Islam. But also the stark differences – namely that they do not recognise Christ as Divine, but simply as a prophet.
I began to wonder about the origins of Islam and what influences shaped it. It seems to me that Bahira was a major influence on Muhammad during a rather impressionable stage in his life. I wonder, I just wonder if I looked deeper into Islam I would find an obvious Arian influence? I don't know.
But I do know one thing: If the Council of Nicea is anything to go by, Bahria's time in purgatory is gonna be pretty rough.
St. Nicholas pray for us!
Giving Everything.
Sitting at mass a few days ago I found my mind wandering. This is not unusual. It happens in prayer too – ALL THE TIME. It used to really bother me and so I used to really try to concentrate. Try harder! Pray harder! Block out all unwanted thoughts.
Of course, this was the fool's way of approaching the situation.
What I was actually trying to do was suppress all thoughts I personally deemed as not holy enough for the situation of praying. Ha!ha! How stupid of me. Do I really think I can hide my thoughts from God?! He knows my thoughts before they enter my head. For goodness sake – He is permitting those thoughts to enter my head, even if they are placed there by Satan. God is in control.
Perhaps I thought If God knew what I was really thinking He wouldn't like me as much? Perhaps I wouldn't be good enough for Him? Ahhh… that's another trick from the Devil.
I have learned since then how to allow my thoughts to manifest themselves during prayer, but without losing my focus on God. Now I am able to allow a thought to remain present, but view it from an objective point of view – from God's point of view, rather than viewing it subjectively from my own point of view and allowing myself to become distracted by it.
This does require a certain amount of detachment. It also requires a rather large dose of compassion towards oneself and also the humility to accept our imperfectness. You also have to be solid in the reality of God's unending mercy and love for you as His beautiful child. But once you are secure in those things it is possible to allow our thoughts the freedom to manifest themselves during prayer. We are then able to stand naked (as it were) in front of God – warts and all. And when we do, we can allow God to show us why He is allowing those thoughts to manifest themselves in our heads.
For instance – when I was sitting in Mass I suddenly found overwhelming thoughts of sex entering my mind. This is not particularly unusual for me (depending where I am in my cycle) as i'm sure it isn't for many people. I used to panic at thoughts like these as they seemed to be the most inappropriate, but now I just take a step back and observe them objectively alongside Christ. He Is my Father, I am His child, and He wants to help me as any good parent does.
I usually tell Him "Oh look! See what has just popped into my head? I wonder why you have allowed that to arrive in my mind? Let's look at it together."
So we sit together and observe the thought in complete honesty. I don't try to hide it or suppress it, and I remain humble enough not to allow guilt or shame to overwhelm me. Sometimes it becomes apparent that this is something or someone that I need to be praying for. Very often it is simply to be honest in a situation in which I am struggling. But at other times it is because God is trying to teach me or show me something. The Holy Spirit doesn't usually shout – He whispers, and we have to quieten our minds enough to hear Him.
This particular time a few days ago as thoughts of sex entered my mind, I sat alongside Christ in observing why He had allowed these thoughts to manifest – especially during Mass. I allowed Him to direct my thoughts and I felt a great sense of acknowledgment in regards to what it takes for me to live the Church's teaching regarding marriage and sex. It's not easy. It is completely different to contracepted sex. I am called to give everything during sex. A total gift of self. And every time I do it becomes not only a repeat of my wedding vows but also a total act of submission to God's will. I literally couldn't give anymore at that moment, physically, emotionally or spiritually. That just doesn't happen during contracepted sex. But it does take a lot to give like that – God only knows! Because of that total gift of self I/we have brought 3 new lives into the world.
Anyway, during that moment as we observed this thought together He did fill me with this overwhelming sense of acknowledgment for giving myself entirely. Which was nice – because remaining open to life is one of the hardest thing I have ever had to give.
He then directed my thoughts back up onto the altar. It was the consecration. 🙂 God's ways are perfect! He had taken me down the path of acknowledgment in all I had to give, so I could enter more deeply into the mystery of all He gave for me.
During that moment of the consecration, Jesus was present there on the altar, at Calvary, giving everything He was: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity – for me. 🙂
Christianity is a love affair.
I realised at that moment that all I had to give was simply a response to His eternal declaration of love on the cross. In truth, I never would have reached the point where I was able to remain open to life without the Eucharist.
I felt suddenly incredibly special to Him – which of course I am. I wanted to throw my arms around Him. But He wants more than that. Through the Eucharist He wishes to actually dwell within me, just as I do in Him. I remained in that wonderful, beautiful moment for the rest of Mass, and for sometime afterwards.
Later that evening my thoughts were turned to the atrocities in Paris, and the fact that our western secular society, weakened by several generations of cultural marxism, is not strong enough to withstand a 60 million influx of muslim immigrants. I cried bitter tears as I came to terms with the fact that I was not willing to die for a society that honours gay marriage and kills millions of its own children through abortion.
I thought of the warnings and promises of Fatima, and stupidly viewed all these things subjectively – which promptly became too much and overwhelmed me.
In the morning I was able to sit alongside Christ, objectively viewing these thoughts, and I became aware of my attachments to things I never considered I was attached to: my country, my national identity, my freedom, my safety etc. And then Christ directed my thoughts back 24 hours to the wonderful experience I had at Mass and I realised that He was asking me to respond to our current situation in exactly the same way. He was helping me understand that I was going to, or should I say am going to, be called to possibly give EVERYTHING in His name.
The only possible solution to the crisis we are facing as a society is Christianity. Now, God's ways are perfect, and I am just wondering in a bizzar mathematical kinda way if Islam + Cultural marxism = the elimination of the problem of the lukewarm Christian – or perhaps a better way of saying it is: the rise of the solid faithful Christian on fire with the Holy Spirit.
One thing is certain – in the end Our Lady's immaculate heart will triumph and we will enter the era of peace. But before that we will have to pass through the great tribulation. And we will all be called to give everything. I pray that this will lead all of us into a deeper understanding and appreciation of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist, and open our hearts to the indescribable joy that there is in this Sacrament. Because that is the one thing that will sustain us.
Ok Jesus, so how exactly am I supposed to love ISIS?
Jesus' most radical commandment was to tell us to love our enemies. But how is it possible to love radical Muslims if they are trying to kill you?
Well, I think it is entirely possible.
First of all we must recognise the humanity in each ISIS member. They too were made in the image and likeness of God. And this completely contradicts their own teaching that non-Muslims are infidels and sub human.
Secondly, Jesus didn't say that to love someone you have to like them. He didn't say that these people would suddenly not be your enemies anymore just because you have decided to love them. And He certainly didn't say your enemies are allowed to walk all over you.
If you think Christian love equates to some fluffy hearts and flowers feeling where everyone gets along just fine, and we all live happily ever after then you are wrong. Whoever taught you that was lying to you. Love is not easy. It challenges us to our very core. Do you think it was easy and fluffy and feel-good for Jesus on the cross? No. Of course it wasn't. And that is the most perfect example of love that humanity has ever had.
There is a fight to be had. Radical Islam is not going to go away quietly. And I for one want my children to be free to practice Christianity in the country they are growing up in. But as I said, it is important to respect that we are fighting human beings, not monsters.
I'm not sure how to love ISIS to be honest, but I think it starts with respecting that each member is a person that needs our help spiritually on the prayer and fasting level, to obtain the graces needed for them to recognise the great evil they have subscribed to and then reject it.
Woman gets thrown out of Washington Cathedral for proclaiming that "Jesus Christ is our Lord and saviour".
By: An Anonymous Priest.
Watching the news this morning, I was fascinated to hear the story of Christine Weick – the woman who was thrown out of the National Cathedral in Washington DC. The Cathedral had been loaned to the local Muslim group to use during their Friday prayers. As the prayers began, Christine stood up, pointed at the large Cross, and proclaimed that "Jesus Christ is our Lord and saviour". The Cathedral authorities, embarrassed by her behaviour, swiftly removed her. But yet she shouted it louder all the more.
This scenario is what is taking place in today's Gospel:
"Now it happened that as he drew near to Jericho there was a blind man sitting at the side of the road begging. When he heard the crowd going past he asked what it was all about, and they told him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by. So he called out, 'Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me.' The people in front scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but he only shouted all the louder, 'Son of David, have pity on me.' Jesus stopped and ordered them to bring the man to him, and when he came up, asked him, 'What do you want me to do for you?' 'Sir,' he replied, 'let me see again.' Jesus said to him, 'Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you.' And instantly his sight returned and he followed him praising God, and all the people who saw it gave praise to God." – Luke 18:35-43
To call Jesus 'Son of David' is to recognise him as the rightful King. Notice how the crowd tell him to be quiet? How embarrassing; it might offend someone. Well, the truth is that Jesus Christ is the eternal, true and righteous King of all, and that includes the group of Muslims praying in Washington Cathedral. To deny this fact would be to deny the nature of Christ and his Kingship. Islam does not recognise Jesus as King, Christine Weick does. It was she however who was not welcome in the Cathedral yesterday.
To call Christ 'King' is an outward sign of faith. So much so that Jesus restores the sight of men. It is also the cry of martyrs, many of whom throughout history were martyred shouting 'Vivat Christus Rex' (long live Christ the King). Forever, Hosanna to the Son of David. Amen.

Private hospitals across the state will collect $83 million in extra Medicaid payments under new public-private partnerships designed to bring in federal health-care dollars, Gov. Bobby Jindal said Tuesday.
The payments will flow to 25 hospitals across the state -- including seven in the New Orleans area -- that are taking part in the new program, which received federal approval in November. It's the second round of payments, following $27 million paid out late last year.
Under the Low-Income and Needy Care Collaboration Agreement program, private hospitals agree to cover the costs of providing care to low-income and needy populations that are now served by public entities such as local public hospital districts or the Department of Health and Hospitals.
The financing arrangement saves money that the public institutions would otherwise have to spend, and makes the hospitals eligible to receive federal Medicaid matching funds that exceed the cost of the care they cover.
"This program is the definition of innovation at work in our health care system," Jindal said. "While other states are slashing hospital funding in reaction to the national crisis in Medicaid, we're here today giving hospitals $83 million in funding."
Louisiana is the second state, after Texas, to get a waiver from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to operate such collaborations.
While the first round of payments flowed mainly to hospitals in the New Orleans area, including East Jefferson General Hospital and West Jefferson Medical Center, the latest payments are being spread across the state, with about $4.5 million going to hospitals in the region.
The largest recipient, by far, is Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge, which is getting $46 million.
Jindal also announced a second, similar program that will generate $2.8 million in extra federal money to pay doctors that work in non-state public hospitals.
Both the hospital and the doctor payment programs were developed from legislation authored by state Sen. David Heitmeier, D-Algiers.

Risen 2: Dark Waters Console Release Date Slips, Get Extra Content For Your Wait
Deep Silver announced a new release date for Risen 2: Dark Waters on consoles. The pirate RPG will now hit store shelves on July 31, 2012 in the USA and Canada and on August 03, 2012 in European countries. Console versions will be released on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Additionally, the console versions of Risen 2: Dark Waters will now offer extra content on both platforms. They contain the episode "The Air Temple" which features several hours of additional gameplay. In this sub-plot the hero embarks on a quest to discover the lost temple, source of air magic. When he hears rumors that his old acquaintance Eldric has been seen in Antigua the hero knows that he needs to pick up his trail in order to find Storm Island, where the Air Temple is located.
In Risen 2: Dark Waters, the Inquisition dispatches the hero to seek a remedy against the monstrous sea creatures that are interfering with the shipping lines, thus cutting off the islands' supplies. The pirates seem to know how to deal with these critters … but they are hardly cooperative. New gameplay elements add to the diversity of Risen 2; for example, players can also use firearms now. And, being pirates, adventurers can also employ special new skills called Dirty Tricks, allowing them to confuse or attack enemies in combat.
Risen 2: Dark Waters for Windows PC remains on its charted course. It has already gone into production and will lift anchor on April 27, 2012. The game will be released exclusively via digital distribution for PC users in North America, and as a retail version for consoles.

They do not make a complete surrender to Him; for they shrink from the consequences that such a surrender may involve. Unless they do make this surrender, they cannot find peace."

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was sentenced Monday to eight months in prison for accepting envelopes stuffed with hundreds of thousands of dollars from an American businessman a decade ago when he was Israel's trade and industry minister.
Several character witnesses, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former Israel Mossad chief Meir Dagan, gave written statements supporting the 69-year-old Olmert. But a tribunal in Jerusalem said a Cabinet minister "who receives cash payments in dollars, keeps them in a secret safe and uses them for personal purposes, is committing a crime that undermines the people's confidence in public office."
New York businessman Morris Talansky testified he gave Olmert more than $600,000 during his tenure as Jerusalem mayor and Cabinet minister. Olmert was Israeli prime minister from 2006 to 2009.
Talansky, an Orthodox Jew, said the money was spent on expensive cigars, first-class travel and luxury hotels, but that he had received nothing in return.
Olmert is also facing a six-year prison sentence for a bribery conviction in a separate case in which he took more than $140,000 from the developers of Jerusalem's Holyland residential complex, while he was the city's mayor.
He remains free pending appeal of both verdicts, but would have to serve the two prison terms consecutively if they are upheld.
After Monday's ruling, one of Olmert's lawyers, Eyal Rozovsky, said the guilty verdict in the Talansky case "was not without faults."
But state prosecutor Uri Korev said, "The court has given a clear message today, a clear and loud message, by which a black flag is waving above the immoral and corrupted deeds" of Olmert.

Don't forget Rick Cameron, he created that law in the first place to protect his own monopoly boat and virtual reality surf resorts.
He's the biggest crook in Indonesia, and a bankrupt in Australia

Mara BIZZOTTO is a member of the vile racist, sexually intollerant, xenophobic Lega Nord, which not only espouses and incites violence in pursuit of its political aims but also practices such violence this Italian party expelled from the Independence & Democracy Group by Farage following clear allegations of racist behaviour. That party is partly defined by its homophobia.
With hindsight it seems Farage did not act on principles but seemingly for personal gain in the IndDemGroup as he seems all too willing to prostitute his party, his Country and his principles now that it happens to suit him financially and in terms of authority in forming his squalid Pan EU Political Party grouping of The EFD.
It is also noted his untrustworthy and duplicitous little side kick Mark Croucher is also acting with Farage to assist in the promotion of this Racist homophobic claque when previously he made much of telling lies about people to try to damage them by falsely branding them as anti Jewish, BNP supporters and anti homosexual based on his own concocted lies. We note it is he who actually practices and assists these disgusting values!

Protecting your home properly is a huge responsibility. It's more than just staying on top of your landscaping or keeping the kitchen tidy; it's about taking the proper precautions to maintain your home for years to come. One of the ways you can better protect your home is by controlling the amount of moisture that permeates your home's crawlspace. We are happy to provide Triad area homeowners with highly effective humidity control services.
Moisture Control Services in the NC Triad
Eliminating excess moisture in your home is all about making sure your crawl space or basement is properly fortified to deal with the presence of humidity or standing water. We know that no two houses are alike, so we always create a moisture control solution that meets the needs of your individual home.
Rest assured your home is protected from moisture and everything that comes with it
Not only does moisture cause damage to your home, but it can also lead to insect infestations and mold buildup. To make your home more comfortable, and protect you in the long run, our team of experts will fully encapsulate your home's crawl space. Our dehumidification service includes:
High-Density Vapor Barriers
First, we cover your crawl space with a thin, durable polyethylene sheeting that prevents water vapor from affecting the wood structure of your home. Vapor barriers are installed in the crawl space of your home to prevent excess moisture and reduce the risk of termite infestations.
Certified ENERGY STAR Dehumidifier
To save you money on costly moisture-related repairs, and cut down your spend on utilities, we install a state-of-the-art dehumidifier in your crawl space or basement.
Interior Foundation Draining System
Also known as a French drain, this feature of our moisture control service eliminates standing water from beneath your home to avoid problems with your home's foundation. It's not necessary for every Triad home, but is just one more way we can protect you from future damages.
Thorough Annual Inspections
To verify that your dehumidifier is still properly functioning, and your vapor barrier seals are intact, we return each year to inspect your home. We'll also record any changes in moisture levels and work with you to make sure your home remains well-protected.
Take care of your home with a company that's been helping homeowners in the Triad for over 85 years. We think of our customers' positive reviews of our services as the indicator of our successful services. We hope to provide the same level of quality service to you and your family.

Justin Hamilton has carved out an incredibly successful career as a stand up comedian and writer while maintaining his unique voice within the Australian Comedy scene.
This year, Justin not only continued his live stand up career, but appeared in the Librarians as the recurring character Biscuit. A regular guest on television and radio has seen Justin expand his popularity and following. Whether it is as co-host of Triple M's weekend breakfast team Toast alongside Charlie Pickering and Terri Psiakis which Justin did up until 2009, or regular movie reviewer for Perth's number one rated Mix FM, he has brandished a unique voice in the radio landscape.
Not content with standing still, Justin has allowed his desire to push the boundaries take their full flight at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and beyond. In 2009 year he wrote and starred in "Goodbye Ruby Tuesday" a play that Aussie Theatre Review stated was "…intelligent and surprising storytelling" while the UK based site Chortle claimed it was a "…touching story as warm as it is witty, building delicately to a satisfyingly uplifting conclusion."
2010 saw Justin return to what he does best with his stand up show "Idiot Man Child" touring all over Australia in the first half of the year. Justin has not only sold out numerous solo seasons at the Adelaide Fringe and the Melbourne Comedy Festival but also won awards and nominations to go along with them. He won the 2007 Melbourne Comedy Festival Director's Award for his show "Three Colours Hammo", a show that also won the Adelaide Advertiser's best show award at the 2008 Adelaide Fringe. His 2008 stand up comedy show "The Killing Joke" was nominated for best show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival that year.
He has toured Australia as part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow from 2002 to 2010, taking the last year off to concentrate on radio. He has also supported Wil Anderson on his national tours from 2006-2010.
