BPjM filter is no longer available since updating FRITZ!OS
After updating FRITZ!OS, the option "Block web sites with adult content (German BPjM module)" is missing from the user interface. This means that the FRITZ!Box no longer blocks websites that the German Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors (BPjM) has deemed offensive or harmful to minors.
1 BPjM filter is limited to Germany
The German Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors (BPjM) bases its work on regulations to protect minors that are valid for Germany. Since regulations to protect minors are not the same for all countries, in FRITZ!OS 6.20 the option "Block web sites with adult content (German BPjM module)" was limited to use in Germany.
The FRITZ!Box parental controls that allow you to configure time profiles, blacklists and white list can be used regardless of the country of use. The only function not available outside of Germany is the blacklist containing entries from the BPjM module.
In order to still use the BPjM filter, select Germany as your country in the FRITZ!Box's regional settings.
ATTENTION!If you use the FRITZ!Box while an incorrect country is selected, incoming calls may not be correctly signaled by telephones connected to the FRITZ!Box, or caller ID may no longer be displayed (CLIP) on the telephones.
- Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Region and Language" in the "System" menu.
- Click on the "Regional Options" tab.
- Select "Germany" as your country from the drop-down list.
Important:Changing the regional options resets the telephony settings. You must then reconfigure all of the telephony settings (such as telephony devices, call diversion settings, dialing rules).
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.

Did you ever just wake up and realize that you're happy?
Sometimes, in our house, it seems as though each morning the whole year through involves waking up to the alarm, jumping out of bed, rushing to get everyone ready for the day, thinking about what has to get done, where you have to go, appointments you have to keep. At times it's exhausting just thinking about it.
Perhaps it is that this holiday time of year gets one thinking fully in the gratitude mode, but a couple of days ago I awoke very early in the morning, and just laid in bed for a few minutes listening to the sounds of my husband and our dogs purring softly in their sleep, listening to the sounds outside, the morning wind whistling through the trees. I laid there and realized just how happy I feel, and how grateful I am for that happiness. This is it. This is happiness, just being here in this life with the beings who are my family, both human and canine. Happiness underlies all; no matter what challenges we may face, challenges which at times may seem daunting, happiness is still there.
As the new year begins tomorrow, I wish for all of you this same feeling, Happiness for 2011.
Cheers and love to all!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Jennifer! I like to wake up early and listen to the house noises too - usually drowned out by the cat's loud snoring :-) JoReplyDelete
I absolutely love the picture with this blog post. Was it taken in Dublin? My husband and I had the pleasure of coming to Ireland and Scotland this past September. We just didn't have enough time there.ReplyDelete
Hi Jo and Kathy, Lovely to hear from you.ReplyDelete
Jo, you just made me realize I forgot to mention our crazy cat. She sleeps in her cave in the basement, so oops I forgot about her.
Kathy, the photo was indeed taken in Dublin. It is of the Ha'penny Bridge which crosses the Liffey. I know what you mean about not enough time there. Given the chance, I would stay in Ireland forever. Would like to make it over to Scotland as well, and England, and France, and...sigh. Too many great places, not enough time.
Hope you both have a very Happy New Year! Cheers! Jennifer
Happy New Year Jennifer, love this post! May 2011 bring you many hours of happiness and time in your beloved Ireland.ReplyDelete

Lantana camara
Lantana camara, also known as big-sage (Malaysia), wild-sage, red-sage, white-sage (Caribbean), tickberry (South Africa),[4] and West Indian lantana[5] is a species of flowering plant within the verbena family, Verbenaceae, that is native to the American tropics.[6][7]
|Lantana camara[1]
|Flowers and leaves
|Scientific classification
L. camara
|Binomial name
|Lantana camara
|Global distribution of Lantana camara
Lantana camara, often planted to embellish gardens, has spread from its native Central and South America to around 50 different countries,[8] where it has become an invasive species.[9][10] It spread from the Americas into the rest of the world when it was brought back to Europe by Dutch explorers and cultivated widely, soon spreading into Asia and Oceania, where it established itself as a notorious weed.[9]
Lantana camara will often outcompete other more desirable species, leading to a reduction in biodiversity.[11] It can also cause problems if it invades agricultural areas as a result of its toxicity to livestock as well as its ability to form dense thickets which if left unchecked can greatly reduce the productivity of farm land.[12]
Lantana camara is a small perennial shrub which can grow to around 2 m tall and form dense thickets in a variety of environments.[13] Due to extensive selective breeding throughout the 17th and 18th Centuries for use as an ornamental plant there are now many different L. camara cultivars.[3]
Lantana camara has small tubular shaped flowers which each have four petals and are arranged in clusters in terminal areas stems. Flowers come in many different colours including red, yellow, white, pink and orange which differ depending on location in inflorescences, age, and maturity.[14] After pollination occurs the colour of the flowers change (typically from yellow to orangish, pinkish, or reddish), this is believed to be a signal to pollinators that the pre-change colour contains a reward as well as being sexually viable, thus increasing pollination efficiency.[15]
The leaves are broadly ovate, opposite, and simple and have a strong odour when crushed.[16]
The fruit of L. camara is a berry-like drupe which turns from green to dark purple when mature. Both vegetative (asexual) and seed reproduction occur. Up to 12,000 fruits can be produced by each plant[17] which are then eaten by birds and other animals which can spread the seeds over large distances, facilitating the spread of L. camara.
The flower has a tutti frutti smell with a pepper undertone.
The native range of L. camara is Central and South America, however it has become naturalised in around 60 tropical and sub-tropical countries worldwide.[18][19] It is found frequently in East and South Africa where it occurs at altitudes below 2000 m and often invades previously disturbed areas such as logged forests and areas cleared for agriculture.[20]
Lantana camara has also colonized areas of Africa, Southern Europe, such as Spain and Portugal, the Middle East, India, tropical Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, as well as many Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean islands.[21][22] It has also become a significant weed in Sri Lanka after escaping from the Royal Botanic gardens of Sri Lanka in 1926.[23][24]
It was introduced into the Philippines from Hawaii as part of an exchange program between the United States and the Philippines, however it managed to escape and has become naturalised in the islands.[25]
The range of L. camara is still increasing, shown by the fact that it has invaded many islands on which it was not present in 1974 (including the Galapagos Islands, Saipan and the Solomon Islands).[22] There is also evidence that L. camara is still increasing its range in areas where it has been established for many years, such as East Africa, Australia and New Zealand.[8] The ability of L. camara to rapidly colonise areas of land which have been disturbed has allowed it to proliferate in countries where activities such as logging, clearance for agriculture and forest fires are common. Whereas in countries with large areas of intact primary forest, the distribution of L. camara has been limited.[8][26]
Lantana camara is found in a variety of environments, including:
- Agricultural areas
- Forest margins and gaps
- Riparian zones
- Grasslands
- Secondary forest, and
- Beach fronts.
Lantana camara is rarely found in natural or semi-natural areas of forest as it is unable to compete with taller trees due to its lack of tolerance for shade,[4] and instead grows at the forest edge. Lantana camara can survive in a wide range of climatic conditions, including drought, different soil types, heat, humidity and salt. It is also relatively fire tolerant and can quickly establish itself in recently burnt areas of forest.[20][27]
Invasive speciesEdit
Lantana camara is considered to be a weed in large areas of the Paleotropics where it has established itself. In agricultural areas or secondary forests it can become the dominant understorey shrub, crowding out other native species and reducing biodiversity.[4] The formation of dense thickets of L. camara can significantly slow down the regeneration of forests by preventing the growth of new trees.[3]
Although L. camara is itself quite resistant to fire, it can change fire patterns in a forest ecosystem by altering the fuel load to cause a buildup of forest fuel which increases the risk of fires spreading to the canopy.[28] This can be particularly destructive in dry, arid areas where fire can spread quickly and lead to the loss of large areas of natural ecosystem.
Lantana camara reduces the productivity in pasture through the formation of dense thickets which reduce growth of crops as well as make harvesting more difficult. There are also secondary impacts, including the finding that mosquitos which transmit malaria and tsetse flies in Africa shelter within the bushes of L. camara.[29]
Even though L. camara is considered invasive to the Western Ghats, the plant does not seem to impact biodiversity in the region, rather it tends to simply occupy the same moist regions as other species.[30]
There are many reasons why L. camara has been so successful as an invasive species; however, the primary factors which have allowed it to establish itself are:
- Wide dispersal range made possible by birds and other animals which eat its drupes
- Less prone to being eaten by animals due to toxicity
- Tolerance of a wide range of environmental conditions[4]
- Increase in logging and habitat modification which has been beneficial to L. camara as it prefers disturbed habitats
- Production of toxic chemicals which inhibit competing plant species
- Extremely high seed production (12,000 seeds from each plant per year)[31]
Lantana camara is known to be toxic to livestock such as cattle, sheep, horses, dogs and goats.[32][33] The active substances causing toxicity in grazing animals are pentacyclic triterpenoids which result in liver damage and photosensitivy.[34] L. camara also excretes chemicals (allelopathy) which reduce the growth of surrounding plants by inhibiting germination and root elongation.[35]
The toxicity of L. camara to humans is undetermined, with several studies suggesting that ingesting berries can be toxic to humans, such as a study by O P Sharma which states "Green unripe fruits of the plant are toxic to humans".[36] However other studies have found evidence which suggests that ingestion of L. camara fruit poses no risk to humans and are in fact edible when ripe.[37][38]
Management and controlEdit
Effective management of invasive L. camara in the long term will require a reduction in activities which create degraded habitats. Maintaining functioning (healthy) ecosystems is key to preventing invasive species from establishing themselves and outcompeting native fauna and flora.
Insects and other biocontrol agents have been implemented with varying degrees of success in an attempt to control L. camara. It was the first weed ever subjected to biological control, however none of the programs have been successful despite 36 control agents being used across 33 regions.[39]
The lack of success using biological control in this case is most likely due to the many hybrid forms of L. camara as well as the large genetic diversity which make it difficult for the control agents to effectively target all plants. A recent study in India has thrown some results around biological control of this using tipid bugs.[40]
Mechanical control of L. camara involves physically removing the plants. Physical removal can be effective but is labour-intensive and expensive,[4] therefore removal is usually only appropriate in small areas. Another method of mechanical control is to use fire treatment followed by revegetation with native species.
Using herbicides to manage L. camara is very effective but also expensive (prohibiting its use in many poorer countries where L. camara is well established). The most effective way of chemically treating plant species is to first mow the area then spray the area with a herbicide (weed-killer), although this may have serious environmental consequences.
Lantana camara stalks have been used in the construction of furniture, such as chairs and tables;[41] however, the main uses have historically been medicinal and ornamental.
Medicinal valueEdit
Studies conducted in India have found that Lantana leaves can display antimicrobial, fungicidal and insecticidal properties.[3][42] L. camara has also been used in traditional herbal medicines for treating a variety of ailments, including cancer, skin itches, leprosy, rabies, chicken pox, measles, asthma and ulcers.[3]
There are also some scientific studies which have shown beneficial effects of L .camara, such as one by R. Satish which found that an extract from the plant reduced ulcer development in rats.[43] Extracts from the plant have also been used to treat respiratory infections in Brazil.[44]
Lantana camara has been grown specifically for use as an ornamental plant since Dutch explorers first brought it to Europe from the New World.[3] Its ability to last for a relatively long time without water and that it does not have many pests or diseases which affect it have contributed to it becoming a common ornamental plant. Lantana camara also attracts butterflies and birds and so is frequently used in Florida's butterfly gardens.[6]
As a host-plantEdit
Many butterfly species feed on the nectar of L. camara. Papilio homerus, the largest butterfly in the western hemisphere, is known to feed on the nectar of the flowers as opportunistic flower feeders.[45]
The name Lantana derives from the Latin name of the wayfaring tree Viburnum lantana, the flowers of which closely resemble Lantana.[9][46]
Camara is derived from Greek, meaning 'arched', 'chambered', or 'vaulted'.[46]

I recently got these birds. All I was told are they are Turkish and called 'Smokey'... They appear to be Ankara's is this correct?
Corbin wrote:Thanks Kurt,
Those two above our both hens. I have since recieved two cocks. Same looking but larger.
One cock has a mirrored tail so I based on your description it is mixed?
I have seen Mardins and know they aren't that straight. Never seen Ankara so don't have anything to compare too.
Will I be able to tell once they get flying? I weighed a hen and she was a couple grams less than 8 ounces.
Corbin wrote:So when I translate Takla it comes out to 'tumble' or 'flip-flop' Would it be correct to say that in America people would call these 'Crack tumblers'
Corbin wrote:What does Taklabac mean?
Just a name. Hard to translate but almost like playing with tumbles.Corbin wrote:It looks like there are 6 kinds of Takla which are rather different? Why then are they lumped into one catergory? Just trying to get a better understanding.
They are all lumped in to the tumblers category because they all have a type of tumbling performance with in that breed.
However, you are very much right.
They are all very different from each other.Corbin wrote:Do Ankaras come back crested too?
Today, most birds are very difficult to categorize as one region or the other due to the compettion breedign.
It would be very difficult find a pure Ankara or Mardin.
Most of what is called Ankara are mixed birds that cary heavy Ankara qualities.
For this reason, you can actually see back crested Ankara birds.
Doesn't mean they are no god.
They could in fact be excellent birds.Corbin wrote:Here is a video of my two pairs getting readty to breed.
These birds came from a Henry in Scottsdale and he said they are from Seref in NY and may be mixed with birdlovfly (youtube name) in Minnesota.
Corbin wrote:I'm confused now. Is Ugor, Alex?
Corbin wrote:He said Yozgat's are a Mardin/Ufra cross. You say Urfa is a long shot?

Detailed by The Oregonian earlier this week, 26-year-old Benjamin Kohler learned that ignoring a judge's instructions regarding the use of electronic mobile devices during a trial is basically a stupid idea. Serving on a jury during an armed robbery trial that was supposed to last just a few days, Kohler listened as Judge Dennis Graves told the panel to pay attention to all witnesses and evidence. In order to get the jury members to pay complete attention, the judge forbid any use of mobile phones during the trial for activities like texting or checking Facebook.
During a round of testimony from a police officer, the lights were dimmed in the room in order to watch a surveillance video related to the armed robbery. When Judge Graves looked over to the jury, he quickly spotted a glowing light bouncing off the shirt of Benjamin Kohler.
At this point, the judge cleared the courtroom with the exception of Kohler and told the court's bailiff to take Kohler into custody on a contempt of court charge. There are no bail options available for a contempt of court charge, thus Kohler had to sit locked up in jail for two full days. An alternate juror took Kohler's place and the trial continued as planned.
In a statement released to the press regarding the incident, Judge Graves said "The duty to serve as a juror must be taken very seriously. Every juror has the responsibility to devote his entire attention to the witnesses and evidence being presented. In this case, Mr. Kohler failed to meet his obligations and failed to honor the direction of this court. My hope is that he will use his time in jail to reflect upon his behavior." Kohler was released on late Wednesday and the trial was completed on Thursday after the jury quickly returned a guilty verdict.

Here's another case where a married couple had a contractual agreement requiring a religious duty and a Connecticut state court has agreed to enforce that document, ruling that it did not cause any unnecessary entanglement of the court with religious matters. The ruling is on Lexis, so I can't link to it.
Rachel and Eben Light had a prenuptial agreement that said that if they ever get divorced, the husband had to pay the wife $100 upon separation for every day until he granted her a Jewish religious divorce, called a "get." The wife filed a motion with the court to enforce that agreement and force him to pay what he agreed to pay, saying they had been separated for several years. The husband argued that the agreement is a religious document and therefore the court has no jurisdiction to enforce it. The court rejected that argument:
In the present case, a determination as to whether the prenuptial agreement is enforceable would not require the court to delve into religious issues. Determining whether the defendant owes the plaintiff the specified sum of money does not require the court to evaluate the proprieties of religious teachings. Rather, the relief sought by the plaintiff is simply to compel the defendant to perform a secular obligation, i.e., spousal support payments, to which he contractually bound himself…Enforcement of the prenuptial agreement does not require either the plaintiff or the defendant to engage in any act of worship or profess any religious belief. To the extent that enforcement of the prenuptial agreement advances Judaism by requiring support for the wife until the husband gives her a get, it is an incidental effect of the enforcement of the parties' contract that Jewish law govern the status of their marriage. Finally, enforcement of the prenuptial agreement does not result in an excessive entanglement with religion.
And this is the correct result. Of course, if this had been an identical contract but the parties were Muslim, Frank Gaffney and Robert Spencer would be screaming about the court enforcing Sharia law. And this is exactly why laws like the one in Oklahoma, forbidding any consideration of Islamic or foreign law are a very bad idea; sometimes contracts require the courts to do so and it is entirely appropriate that they do. Kansas' recently passed law is considerably better in this regard, forbidding the courts from enforcing such contracts only if doing so violates the constitutional rights of one of the parties.

What it is
The new Highway 5 bridge over the Osage Arm of Lake of the Ozarks at the 35 mile marker is being built less than five feet to the east of the existing Hurricane Deck Bridge. For an estimated $32.3 million, the American Bridge Co. is constructing a new crossing that will be 38 feet wide to accommodate two 12-foot driving lanes with seven-foot shoulders on each side.
What's new
On Wednesday, the Hurricane Deck Bridge was down to one lane for part of the day in order to take down a section of guardrail on the south end. In its place, workers put up a temporary barrier while excavation is done for the new section of roadway that will connect the highway and the new bridge. On Thursday, construction crews poured concrete columns for pier 10 and drilled to prepare to pour the foundation of pier 8, according to MoDOT resident engineer John Sanders.
What's next
Pier 8 is the last foundation to be poured, and Sanders said they hope to have it done next week. With all the foundations completed, the rest of the work will be out of the water. People will start seeing the columns, beams and caps — what the steel girders will sit on — being poured. That part of the project will go into the winter and into next year, according to Sanders. The project is slated to be finished in late 2013. Demolition of the existing bridge will occur sometime in spring 2014.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –The 18th-ranked Florida State women's basketball team bounced back in a major way on Sunday at the Donald L. Tucker Center, speeding past interstate ACC rival and No. 24-ranked Miami, 86-65.
The Seminoles halted their two-game losing streak and defeated their second ranked opponent of the season thanks to an improved rebounding effort, better ball security and stout defense.
FSU allowed Wake Forest to grab 19 offensive rebounds and committed a season-high 23 turnovers in a loss on Thursday. On Sunday, the Garnet and Gold held the Hurricanes to eight rebounds below their season average while making just 14 turnovers.
"We came back from a tough loss and we worked hard in practice; that was the difference," Florida State head coach Sue Semrau said. "It was what we did in practice. The results against a very good Miami team are very exciting for us and hopefully we'll use it to get some momentum to become a better basketball team."
Florida State received a double-double from senior post Chelsea Davis (13 points and a career-best 13 rebounds) and a 20-point, nine-board performance from junior forward Natasha Howard.
Senior guard Leonor Rodriguez scored 21 points and made 3-of-5 from behind the arc, while senior forward Chasity Clayton added 14 points off the bench. Junior guard Yashira "Cheetah" Delgado matched her career-high with nine points, dished a game-high five assists and nailed her first three-pointer as a Seminole.
The Seminoles shot 51 percent from the floor, while holding the Hurricanes to just 38 percent, and nabbed a 41-37 overall edge on the glass.
"(Davis) was tremendous all the way around," Semrau said. "We really challenged her to be a defensive rebounder and she always has kind of been the one that boxes everybody out and someone else goes and gets it (the rebound). We really challenged her to come up with those boards and the fact that she did tonight was great.
"We have five seniors and two juniors…they are very intelligent young women and they want it as much as anybody wants it. They really took it to heart and worked on the things we needed to do to be a better basketball team."
Leading 19-14, the Seminoles exploded for 11 points in a minute-and-half stretch midway through the first frame. Rodriguez sparked the run with a three-point swish. She and Davis both nailed jumpers before senior guard Alexa Deluzio gave Florida State a 30-18 lead at the 7:32 mark in the first half.
Howard's putback a little over a minute later put FSU in front by 16 with 6:10 left before the break.
The Hurricanes cut the Seminoles advantage to 10 at the 2:26 mark in the first, but the Seminoles held a 42-29 lead at halftime after a Davis putback at the 31-second mark.
Florida State made 5 of its first 7 shot attempts of the second half and took a 17-point lead, 48-31, two minutes into the final frame on a fastbreak layup by Rodriguez.
Miami center Shawnice Wilson made a free throw to bring the Hurricanes within 14, 52-38, with 15:28 left in the game.
That was the closest Miami would get the rest of the way, however, as the Seminoles answered by going on a 14-2 back-breaking run over the next four minutes.
Rodriguez dished a no-look pass to Delgado who made a layup to make the score 56-38. On FSU's next possession, Delgado drilled an 18-footer and then returned the favor to Rodriguez with a dish for a layup that put the Noles ahead by 22 with 13:23 left.
Four consecutive free throws by Clayton and a layup by Howard gave Florida State an insurmountable 66-40 lead with 11:37 left in the contest.
"It was a great team effort," Rodriguez said. "We worked hard the past couple of days – knowing who we had to stop and we answered them. It feels good, it feels refreshing. The last few practices have been harder, but mentally we needed to get back to being ourselves, and tonight we did it."
Florida State returns to action with a pair of road games next week at Boston College on Thursday at 7 p.m. and at NC State at 3 p.m. on Jan. 20.

Notes: The Seminoles defeated its two biggest in-state rivals by an average of 25.5 points at the Tucker Center this season after also crushing Florida, 98-67, in Tallahassee in November…Florida State ended a three-game losing streak to Miami…FSU is now 10-0 when four or more players score in double figures…Howard has scored 10+ points in eight straight games…The win marks the sixth time FSU has beat Miami by 20+ points…The Noles improved to 31-11 all-time against the Canes…FSU still hasn't allowed a team to shoot over 50 percent this season… Delgado tied her career high with nine points today as she shot a perfect 4of-4 from the field…Rodriguez tallied her sixth career 20-point game…Howard scored 20 points for the second time this season and seventh time of her career.

I am not sure I agree with this statement, but it makes one wonder what the relationship between schizophrenia, insanity, and enlightenment are. Within the same spectrum, is it possible for people to go crazy while seeking enlightenment, even if they never reach higher states of consciousness?
What about fear that becoming enlightened will make one go crazy? Is this a defense mechanism of the ego when faced with the possibility of its destruction? I myself have had moments where I feel like I am on the verge of some sort of breakthrough after meditating or contemplating on the common spiritual inquiry of "Who am I?", which of course is used as a hua-tou/hwadu in the Zen tradition, but then suddenly become gripped with fear. Huang Po describes the situation I believe:
Men are afraid to forget their minds, fearing to fall through the Void with nothing to stay their fall. They do not know that the Void is not really void, but the realm of the real Dharma.
Similar notions exist in other mystical traditions, such as the Christian notion of the "dark night of the soul." How is this related to insanity and is there any danger of falling into insanity when facing dilemmas like this on the path? How can one overcome such fears and "take the plunge" as it were? (Just to note, I have no mental illnesses, this is just a fear that occasionally manifests during the experiences I just spoke of.)
Finally, is there any traditional literature by Buddhist masters or even scripture which touches upon these issues that anyone knows of?

William Miller Cox was born in Pope Valley, Russellville, Ark. to Mr. and Mrs. William Newton Cox on Feb. 14, 1926.
William Miller Cox was born in Pope Valley, Russellville, Ark. to Mr. and Mrs. William Newton Cox on Feb. 14, 1926. He was one of the best Valentine gifts! Uncle Miller passed away on Feb. 23, 2013 at 87 years old.
William grew up mostly in Arkansas with nine siblings. He moved to California as a young man and started picking cotton. He was a hard worker and worked as a laborer in the cotton gin. He was the man inside the trailer that held the pipe the cotton was sucked up through – a job he held for over 40 years.
Miller's passion, on his days off from the farm, was fishing.
He had wonderful nieces and nephews whom he loved one just as much as the other. No one person will be named in this obituary as he loved them all.
"In Loving Memory of William Miller Cox
Today is not a day of grieving …
Today is a day of remembering …
Finally Uncle Miller isn't waiting …
He caught that bus that's taking him to see our days out from above …
With Grama and Grampa and also Uncle Billy.
Uncle Miller, you will be very much missed,
But most of all, never forgotten.
Most importantly, your family will love you always and forever.
Life does go on in the after.
Private family services will be held at a later date. Online condolences can be made to Miller's family at www.girdnerfuneralchapel.com.

Quote of the Holy Fathers
A brother went to see Abba Silvanus on the mountain of Sinai. When he saw the brothers working hard he said to the old man, "Do not labor for the food which perishes (John 6:27). Mary has chosen the better part (Luke 10:42)." The old man said to his disciple, "Zacharias, give the brother a book and put him in a cell without anything else." So when the ninth hour came the visitor watched the door expecting someone would be sent to call him to the meal. When no one called him, he got up, went to find the old man and said to him, "Have the brothers not eaten today?" The old man replied that they had. Then he said, "Why did you not call me?" The old man said to him, "Because you are a spiritual man and do not need that kind of food. We, being carnal, want to eat, and that is why we work. But you have chosen the good portion and read the whole day long and you do not want to eat carnal food." When he heard these words the brother made a prostration saying, "Forgive me, Abba." The old man said to him, "Mary needs Martha. It is really thanks to Martha that Mary is praised."
It was fitting that she, who had kept her virginity intact in childbirth, should keep her own body free from all corruption even after death. It was fitting that she, who had carried the Creator as a child at her breast, should dwell in the divine tabernacles. It was fitting that the spouse, whom the Father had taken to himself, should live in the divine mansions. It was fitting that she, who had seen her Son upon the cross and who had thereby received into her heart the sword of sorrow which she had escaped when giving birth to him, should look upon him as he sits with the Father. It was fitting that God's Mother should possess what belongs to her Son, and that she should be honored by every creature as the Mother and as the handmaid of God.
St. John of Damascus (8th century)
It is necessary to establish a pattern of going to church as often as possible, usually to Matins, Liturgy and Vespers. Have a longing for this, and go there at the first opportunity and if you can, stay without leaving. Our church is heaven on earth. Hasten to church with the faith that it is a place where God dwells, where He Himself promised to quickly hear prayers. Standing in church, be as if you are standing before God in fear and reverence, which you express through patience, prostrations, and attention to the services without wandering thoughts.
Saint Theophan the Recluse (19th century)
The bread you do not use is the bread of the hungry. The garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of the person who is naked. The shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot. The money you keep locked away is the money of the poor. The acts of charity you do not perform are the injustices you commit.
Saint Basil the Great, Archbishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia (4th century)

As Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon) begins her arduous hike up the Pacific Crest Trail in "Wild," she realizes she brought the wrong stove fuel and must eat cold mush for every meal. Frantic, she hitches a ride into town from a farmer named Frank. Played by veteran actor W. Earl Brown, Frank is initially terrifying, with a steely, creepy gaze and a gun...

Agree. Braking on carbon rims on the way down is an issue. I wonder what the pros use on the big days in the Pyrenees and Alps?
very few (<10-15%) looked to be using carbon on the hills. most (>85%) did on the flatter stages.
Wtaching the Pyrenees and Alps stages I didn't see any alloy wheels nor could I find any in cyclingnews photo galleries so I highly doubt there were double digit percentages of riders using alloy wheels in any stage.
I personally use my carbon tubulars on hilly rides because I prefer the braking (with a good pad) and security of a tubular tyre but YMMV.
To OP's question I think something like a fulcrum racing 1 fit the bill and can be found pretty cheaply online.

Rated 2 out of 5 by danicalifornia0405 from Too see-through I absolutely loved the length and cut of these shorts, but unfortunately, they were totally see-through. I usually love Bebe, but these shorts were frustrating. All it would have taken to make these shorts perfect was quality material to ensure that the shorts wouldn't be completely see-through. Very disappointed.

Todd Ragsdale's 100 Miler
Photo taken by Andy Atkinson
On Tuesday, September 18th local runner Todd Ragsdale ran 100-miles around Ashland, Oregon's Lithia Park. Why? Just to see if he could. He ran a 3.5 mile loop 29 times. He started at 2am and 16 hours and 36 minutes later he was done. A fantastic time for a 100 mile run! He was accompanied throughout the day by many local runners, bikers and drivers. He spent little of the day without friends. Even the local news showed up. See Todd's interview on You Tube.
Congratulations Todd!

John said: Well, when Todd told me he was planning to try and run 100 miles on his own in Lithia Park with no official course or race, I thought this man is truly crazy. In fact, me and Joe both tried to talk him out of it, but Todd wouldn't hear it. Must have something to do with that red hair of his. Anyway, on a training run, several days before his own scheduled event, we were teasing him and trying to talk some sense into him and I said, "I bet you won't make it." I wanted to bet money, but Todd had something else in mind. He's been scheming for two years to put a relay team together called "Speedo Banditos" for Hood to Coast where all the guys wear a speedo and sombrero (sounds pretty gay, doesn't it?). Anyway, I told Todd, "When hell freezes over, you'll catch me in a speedo," and that's the response he got from pretty much everybody except Joe Griffin and recently, Eric Pool. These two blokes, for whatever reason, think it's a good idea. Which brings me back to the bet - Todd says if he finishes the 100-miler I have to be on his relay team and my nickname will be, "Mosquito." His, by the way, is going to be "Torpedo" and Joe is going to be "Burrito" and Eric is yet to be named. If you got something that rhymes with "Speedo" let me know. All kidding aside, Todd's feat was quite remarkable and it may be the most impressive thing I've ever seen him do. The fact that he ran by his car nearly 30 times and could have quit at any moment, blows my mind. Hopefully, we can get Todd entered into a real 100 mile race so he can show the ultra world what he's got.

The first time Kristin Peterson's husband hit her, she was asleep in their bed. She awoke that night a split second after Joshua's fist smashed into her face and ran, terrified and crying, to the bathroom to wipe the blood spurting from her nose. When she stuck her head back into the bedroom, there he was—punching at the air, muttering how she was coming after him and how he was going to kill her. Kristin started yelling but Joshua's eyes were closed. He was still asleep.
Thin Line
Musee des Beaux Arts. As you know, the horror cast by an Indian Ocean earthquake saturated news coverage both nationally and locally last week, and on Monday, Dec. 27, the Albuquerque Journal front page was exceptional for its odd, some might even say inane, choice of juxtaposed headlines.
Odds & Ends
Dateline: England—Spider-Man, Superman and Batman came to blows on Christmas Day in Canterbury, southern England. Police were called in to break up a fight after three men in tights were seen brawling on the sidewalk in front of a fast food van. The three superheroes apparently decided to trade punches after the van experienced a sudden shortage of burgers. A 23-year-old man suffered facial injuries, but declined to press charges. It is assumed the three were on their way to a fancy dress party. Or not. A police spokesman told the press simply, "Spider-Man, Superman and Batman were involved in a minor altercation at 12:32 a.m. at Wincheap on Christmas Day. The injured party declined to take it further."
The other day I was watching C-SPAN and a woman caller suggested that as a show of good faith to a majority Muslim area of the world that has recently been decimated Bush should cancel his inauguration party and donate the money to the relief efforts. This suggestion was met with retorts from conservative callers saying that "that part of the world needs to take personal responsibility for itself" and other equally ridiculous and (probably) racist statements.

The indomitable Widespread Panic has announced dates for their highly anticipated 2013 Summer Tour. After a year-long hiatus Widespread Panic returns for their summer trek, which has become an annual pilgrimage for thousands of fans.
The tour kicks off June 1st at the Wakarusa Festival in Ozark, AR before routing towards the West where the band will headline four consecutive nights (a Panic first) at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. Widespread Panic holds the record for sold out performances at Red Rocks with 38 (three nights in 2011 sold out in seven minutes). The 24-date tour will also include stops in Knoxville, TN, Vienna, VA, Hunter, NY, Raleigh, NC, Lincoln, NE, Alta, WY, Missoula, MT, Boise, ID, Las Vegas, Flagstaff, AZ and Grand Prairie, TX before concluding at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre outside of Birmingham, AL.
The band's most recent release is a special edition 3LP boxed set and double live cd entitled Wood. Wood featured entirely acoustic live performances recorded at four select intimate venues in 2012 and were very well received by both the press and fans.
Widespread Panic is known as a national touring force and continues to hold attendance records at major venues across the country including Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Birmingham, AL and Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA. They are a mainstay at many major U.S. festivals, having headlined 10 nights on the main stage at Bonnaroo. This year Widespread Panic will be making stops at The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Wakarusa in Ozark, AK and Mountain Jam in Hunter, NY. The band still holds the single one-day attendance record for New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival – 63,000 in 1999.
For over ten years Widespread Panic has been dedicated to making their concerts "food drive events." Since Summer 2008 the charity Feeding People Through Music has raised over $50,000 in monetary donations and over 6,000 pounds of food. Since each dollar donated is worth seven meals, these events have bought over 350,000 meals.

As the state fair opens in Timonium, pigs that will be judged for prizes will also be under scrutiny from state veterinarians after an outbreak of swine flu nearly threatened to shut down the event.
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said a new strain of swine flu has been detected in 12 people who were exposed to pigs this month at the Queen Anne's County Fair. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Friday showed 276 cases nationwide.
When the outbreak was first reported, state officials and fair organizers said they discussed canceling the swine competition. But late last week, the state health and agricultural departments said it was safe to go ahead.
While the show will go on, there have been disappointments. Sarah Branham, 17, of Centreville was hoping to show her pig, but it fell ill. The sickness turned out not to be swine flu, but because of the Queen Anne's County outbreak, her family decided to leave the pig at home just to be safe.
"A lot of times, parents want to fix everything," said Joe Branham, 45, Sarah's father. "Sometimes you've got to have disappointment in life."
Instead, his daughter will show a friend's blue butt, a crossbreed named for patches on its hindquarters.
Sarah Branham said not exhibiting her own pig was "kind of a letdown." But her adopted 6-month-old female seemed in good form as she charged around the pig pens, causing a child to screech, "Piggy on the loose!" when it got too close.
While the new strain of swine flu, labeled H3N2v, can make the leap from pig to human — especially if an animal sneezes on a human, according to the CDC — unlike the H1N1 strain that killed thousands of Americans in 2009, it has a hard time traveling from one human to another.
That is reassuring, the CDC said in a statement Friday. Still, state fair organizers are taking no risks. All pigs entering the fairgrounds will be inspected by state and federal agriculture officials, and any that appear ill will be turned away. Checks will continue three times a day throughout the fair.
Colorful posters reminded visitors on opening day Friday to wash their hands after coming into contact with pigs, and fair organizers have set up extra hand-washing stations around the grounds. As a further precaution, pigs will not be out in the petting zoo for children.
The advice from fair president Max Mosner is simple: "Wash your hands, and wash your children's hands."
Andy Cashman, assistant general manager of the fair, said the flu's effect on pigs is much like its effect on humans: It gives them a fever, makes them grumpy and puts them off their food. So far, he said, no sick pigs have been found at the fair.
A few people might be reluctant to visit the swine barn, Cashman said, "but there's really no reason for them not to."
State health officials say for most people, the flu poses a fairly low risk, but elderly adults, children younger than 5 and people with chronic health problems should take extra precautions.
"We're recommending that people who are at risk of complications if they get flu be careful and consider not getting around the pigs and pig barns this year," state epidemiologist Dr. David Blythe said.
In recent years, state fairs have beefed up their measures for dealing with disease after outbreaks of E. coli. Mosner recalled meeting with CDC officials in Stone Mountain, Ga., to discuss how to keep visitors to the fair safe.
"We came home and doubled everything we had done," he said. Now hand-washing stations and hand sanitizer are standard.
People checking out the fair Friday at lunchtime did not seem too worried about swine flu.
"I'm not worried at all," said Cindy Gerry, 52, a preschool teacher from Bowie. "I've been coming here 25 years and touching the animals."
Others had strong opinions about pigs, but not necessarily shaped by the risk of flu. Crystal Freeman, 31, of Baltimore, called them "disgusting" — although "if they're dead and fried, that's a different matter," she said.
But asked if she knew any pig fans, her daughter, 5-year-old Mackenzie Wilson, shot up her hand.
Freeman did not think touching pigs was a good idea at the best of times, but Mackenzie said with a grin that she might give it a try anyway.
The fair will continue through Sept. 3 at the fairgrounds in Timonium.

EPA ensures Oregon distributor properly labels pesticides
Release Date: 03/01/2012
Contact Information: Chad Schulze, EPA FIFRA Program, 206-553-0505, email@example.com Tony Brown, EPA Public Affairs, 206-553-1203, email@example.com
(Seattle – March 1, 2012) Wilbur-Ellis Company, an international distributor of agricultural products located in Hood River, Oregon violated federal pesticide laws by repeatedly omitting important manufacturing information on product labels, according to a settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The settlement follows an Oregon Department of Agriculture inspection of Wilbur-Ellis's facility in 2010. Inspectors found that Wilbur-Ellis sold and distributed mislabeled "Supreme Oil," an insecticidal spray, 37 separate times. The EPA immediately issued a Stop-Sale Order for the product and helped bring the company into compliance.
According to Scott Downey, manager of the EPA's pesticide unit in Seattle, proper labeling of pesticides is key to protecting people's health and the environment.
"Sellers and distributors of pesticides know that proper labeling is the law." Downey said. "These laws help ensure that agencies can track problem pesticides back to the producer when needed to protect public safety."
Wilbur-Ellis has had similar violations of the federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act in the past. The company has agreed to pay a $50,320 fine for the violations and has committed to revising its labeling practices.
Supreme Oil is a plant-based insecticidal spray that controls a wide variety of insect pests on fruits and vegetables.

It's not uncommon for men to seem nervous about their partners wanting to breastfeed their babies. Many dads-to-be have doubts and worries about a partner breastfeeding: Sometimes they feel excluded or jealous (or afraid that they will feel that way, once your little bundle arrives). Or they worry that they can't do as much for the baby as mom can (no guy likes to feel powerless!). Some men are just unfamiliar with breastfeeding, so they don't grasp the benefits it offers to both moms and babies. And some feel uncomfortable with the idea of their women breastfeeding in public. If your partner is nervous, he may be having some or all of these feelings about your plan to breastfeed.
Your best bet is to get him to open up — not force him to change his mind. Figuring out what, specifically, is troubling him is a great first step. Try simply being direct: "Honey, you seem nervous about breastfeeding. Can we talk about it?" If that's not your guy's style, approach this as a shared decision instead of a done deal: "I think I'd like to breastfeed, but I really want your input. Do you think it's a good idea? Can we research it together?" That might encourage him to bring up any particular concerns. You could even enlist some man-to-man help: Does your partner have a friend whose wife breastfed (or is still breastfeeding)? Maybe that dad would be willing to help dispel some of your partner's fears.
Keeping Dad in the know can also help him feel more invested in breastfeeding, so share the breastfeeding basics with him. Let him know that breast is best when it comes to feeding your baby: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding exclusively through six months of age and then continuing to breastfeed even after solid foods are introduced, until at least 12 months and thereafter for as long as mutually desired. Let him know, too, that research shows his involvement and support can help extend the time that you continue to nurse.
No matter how these chats go, try inviting your partner to attend a breastfeeding class with you. Then he'll get to hear firsthand about the many benefits of nursing — plus all the ways he can support you as you breastfeed. He can:
- Bring the baby to you when she needs to nurse
- Help you position the baby for a good latch
- Bring you a glass of water, a box of tissues, cold compresses, fresh nursing pads, lanolin cream or anything else you need when you're in the middle of a feeding
- Change the baby's diapers
- Put the baby to sleep after she's done feeding
- Prepare meals and snacks for you — you need to eat well to make milk for your baby!
- Bathe the baby
- Wear the baby in a sling or carrier
- Occasionally feed the baby a bottle
All of these things help Mama out — but also help Daddy feel less left out, so he can establish a tight bond with baby. That's a win, win, win for your family!
