Sunshine is being turned into electricity to filter water and irrigate plants inside the nursery dome.
Step 1
Sunshine powers the floating wetlands and plants inside the nursery dome.
Plants use the sun's energy to mix carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. This is called photosynthesis.
Step 2
Sunshine is turned into electricity using the solar panels. The conversion of sun power into electrical power is called photovoltaics. This electrical power is then used to power the system pumps.
Air pumps convert electrical energy into air bubbles and push the bubbles into the bottom of the floating wetland tanks. The wetland plants thrive, and the roots filter the water, preparing it for use for irrigation.
The water pump pulls the filtered water from the tanks and pushes it up to the top of the dome, filling the hanging barrel.
Step 3
The barrel fills up and releases a dose of irrigation water. Gravity pulls the water through the pipes and sprinkles it onto the nursery plants.
The more the sun shines, the more water the plants need, and get.

The Yellowstone Club, filed for bankruptcy Monday, November 10, 2008 after its inability to secure financing arrangements with its creditors and bondholders.
Yellowstone Club spokesman, Bill Keegan said the Yellowstone Club filed Chapter 11 for protection in Montana federal bankruptcy court to protect the Club and its members.
Two months ago the Club, as it is called in the area, had announced it would begin new growth in conjunction with Arizona-based Discovery Land Company, but the recent national financial collapse forestalled this method.
Ensconced in Montana's Madison Range mountains, between the Gallatin and Madison Rivers, the gated, 13,400 acre Montana ski and golf resort opened in 1999, and holds memberships for former cycling great, Greg Lemond, Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, and former Vice President, Dan Quayle.
"We felt this step was necessary to address short-term liquidity constraints and preserve Yellowstone Club's long-term future," Yellowstone Club CEO, Edra Blixseth said.

Ranbir 'Barfi' Kapoor breaks his silence
When Ranbir Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz and Anurag Basu visited the Hindustan Times office last Friday, they were nearly two-and-a-half hours late. But the crowd that had gathered to chat with them at 4.30 pm had not dispersed.bollywood Updated: Sep 13, 2012 16:48 IST
And when they finally arrived, Ranbir, Ileana and Anurag more than made up for their unpunctuality. Starving after a day filled with promotions, they asked for and got pizzas and soft drinks, and cheerfully sat through an hour-long interactive session with the crowd, answering questions, posing for pictures and signing autographs.
Most of the questions, of course, were directed at Ranbir, whose films in the past have made him quite a hero. But the actor did all he could to share the limelight with his co-star Ileana, and director Anurag dada (as Basu is fondly referred to).
So what did the three of them talk about?
Lots of things; from Barfi! (of course) to Dabangg (2010); competition and rivalry within the film industry; Ileana's surprise role in the film; and Anurag's bond with the "fine-bred" star kid, Ranbir. Ranbir also surprised the room with his candid responses to questions regarding rivals of the same age, the people he draws inspiration from (Charlie Chaplin and Mr Bean!), and how he selects his films.
'Actors take too much credit'
Ranbir, Ileana and Anurag talk about films, inspirations and a famous grandfather
Ranbir, was it a planned move to do different genres — romantic comedy (Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani, 2009), then a political thriller (Rajneeti, 2010), then Rockstar (2011) and now Barfi!?
Ranbir Kapoor: It's a fluke, not a planned move. I get 10-15 offers a year, and pick only one or two. You choose the subject and the director you connect with. With Anurag, I connected with his story. And he is like a five-year-old, with an infectious energy. I fell in love with Anurag.
Tomorrow, if someone comes to me with a film like Rowdy Rathore, I would do it. But maybe I don't have that 'hero personality' to carry off such a role. It's been four-and-half-years so far in this industry, I guess I will have to build my body of work. I'm here for the long run.
On working with Priyanka again, after Anjaana Anjaani (2010)
RK: What impresses me is her desire to do different kinds of films. Playing an autistic character can be tricky. Priyanka has a harder part in the film, and once she got the hang of the character, she flew with it.
Was it tricky to play a deaf and mute character?
RK: I was nervous as I felt I would have to learn sign language, but Anurag was clear that he wanted Barfi! to be relatable and wanted the audiences to understand what he meant. I drew from the comedy of Charlie Chaplin and Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson). I had to express with my face and through my body. It was fun, it felt like dumb-charades. I did feel insecure at times since I
hadn't uttered a dialogue, sung a song, punched a guy or done a break dance.
Ileana, how was the Bollywood debut experience?
Ileana D'Cruz: This is unknown territory for me. I thought that in Bollywood, I would be a glamorous heroine. I never thought I would do a film that wouldn't require me to dress up sexy or put on tons of make-up.
RK: Basically, she thought she was in Dhoom 6!
IDC: No! I didn't doubt Anurag, I connected well with him, though I saw all his films only after signing Barfi!
Anurag, what do you think of Ranbir as an actor?
Anurag Basu: I think he is one of the best actors we have today. It reflects his upbringing. I think he's a well-brought-up star kid.
Ranbir, do you agree?
RK: I am how I am. I'm not trying to be anyone or put up a façade.
How did you discover Illena?
RK: He basically googled 'Illena hot'. We both did!
AB: While we were casting, I met her and realised she was perfect for Shruti's role. I hadn't seen any of her earlier films.
On comparisons with Raj Kapoor
RK: Of course, since I'm his grandson, there will comparisons between us. But I've taken inspiration from Charlie Chaplin, as did my grandfather. Mr Bean has also inspired me. I've learnt from them how to express oneself through body language.
Is it difficult to act in a period film?
RK: Actors take too much credit, but in reality, all the homework is already done by the director. I am as good as the director and the story. We shot for few days in Darjeeling and Kolkata, but then we shifted to a set in Chandivali Studios in Mumbai. I used to wonder how it would look on screen, but Anurag was clear in his vision. I was dressed for winter but shot in the sultry Mumbai heat. Now when I see the promos, I can see that he has transported us to a different world — that of Darjeeling in 1970s.
On competition
RK: I think it's great. It's all healthy competition. We're not here to replace anyone. We're just here to make a place for ourselves.
You haven't done a massy film yet?
RK: What's a massy film? A good film is a massy film. If there's emotional connect, you will understand it. That's massy.
We mean masala films like Dabangg (2010).
RK: That depends on the star. Salman (Khan) has a pan-India fan base. Even if I do a film like that, audiences here (Mumbai) will come. But someone in, say Indore, who doesn't know me, may not come. With time and more films, I will get that. I'm not trying to jump the gun now.
Illeana, have you received feedback to your part in Barfi!?
IDC: I've got tons of reactions. But the one I've cherished the most has been from my father. I've waited 10 years for him to say that he is really proud of me. He is really stingy when it comes to giving compliments. The day he told me that he's looking forward to seeing the film, it made me feel like I achieved something.
Ranbir, all the directors call you the most promising actor amongst the current lot. That can't possibly make you friends with your contemporaries. Do you feel any pressure?
RK: I've never felt any pressure. When I started, people asked if I felt pressurised because I come from a film family. But I am here to make a name for myself. I think my parents will be really proud if they are called Ranbir Kapoor's parents. I love movies and I love acting. There's no pressure. I'm friends with everyone.
Friends to your face?
RK: No, no. We've all hung out together. I know Arjun (Kapoor) and Ranveer (Singh) really well. I also know Shahid (Kapoor), Imran (Khan) and the others. We've all gone out together. Sometimes we exchange messages, hang out and do cool stuff. There's no animosity, at least from my side.
On the Oscar-winning silent-era film, The Artist
RK: I started working on this film (Barfi!) before The Artist (2011) released. But when I did see the film, I messaged Dada (Anurag) saying, 'I've seen a beautiful film.' Ours isn't a silent film. But it's fantastic that films like The Artist reach a wide audience purely on the basis of good story telling.
It's been said that the music of Barfi! is on the lines of Amelie (2001). Did you guys draw inspiration from it?
RK: I've heard of that.
AB: It's not Amelie, but if you see any European films, the soundtracks are similar. I had given the brief that I wanted to use the violin, accordion, harp and such instruments. I wanted that style of music.
The movie is set in Darjeeling, but could it have been made
AB: I could have set the movie anywhere, but I chose Darjeeling for the simple
reason that I know that place well. The film takes you back to the '70s, and Darjeeling suited the kind of world I wanted to show.
On political opposition to Ranbir's films – Wake Up Sid (2009) angered MNS because of the word 'Bombay', while Rajneeti ran into trouble too.
RK: This is not planned. I hope no film gets into political conflict. We're not trying to make a political statement. What they (politicians) do is serious work, we're just entertainers.
Ranbir, people say that you're taking a risk by playing such a role...
RK: (Cuts in) Yaar, sometimes you say I'm playing safe, sometimes you say I'm taking a risk. Tomorrow, if the film works, everyone will say 'Well done'. It's fine to take a risk. If someone else doesn't want to, that's his or her call. I'm here to do my own thing. I think it's best to encourage me rather than scare me by saying what I'm doing can be risky.
Illeana, you worked with Ranbir and Priyanka (Chopra), two big stars. Was there any fear of being overshadowed?
IDC: Not at all. I already have such an intimidating father that it's very difficult to intimidate me (laughs). My only worry was whether I would be able to pull off the character. I wanted to live up to Dada's expectations.
Ranbir, you mentioned that you get a lot of scripts every year. Do you read every single script?
RK: Yes. Sometimes, you read the first 10 pages and it
doesn't interest you. Sometimes, you have a good filmmaker coming to you with a great story, but he's possibly the worst narrator. Films have their own destiny.
How good a narrator was Anurag?
RK: He's really bad. He mixes time, characters and names. I was lucky I got a good four-hour narration. Illeana didn't even know which film she was doing. She thought she was in Dhoom:6!

Difference between revisions of "Quba"
Revision as of 06:38, 31 January 2008
Quba (or Guba) is a city in Northeastern Azerbaijan.
This ancient city is the major city in the Quba Rayon. Quba is famous for producing high quality apples. In late summer, cars stuffed with apples are often see on the road carrying the fruit from Guba to other regions or from small towns to the city's cannery.
Guba is also the hub for many summer vacationers. It attracts visitors with its cooler summer climate and beautiful mountain scenery.
Guba is built on the western bank of the Qudailchay River. On the eastern bank is a rather exclusive Jewish community known as Qırmızı (or Red) settlement. The houses in Quba are noticeably smaller than the neighboring community.
Due to its close proximity to Russia and its former inclusion in the U.S.S.R., most in the city know Russian. It is often assumed that outsiders will know this language. This might also explain a sense of paranoia with strangers found with some. You may be stopped by police and asked to show identification.

Yeast Fermenetation on Different Sugars
Hello all. I had conducted an experiment in determining if four different sugars (glucose, fructose, lactose and sucrose) can be fermented by yeast via monitoring carbon dioxide production and measuring ethanol concentration. At then end of the experiment, it showed that fructose has the highest reading, followed by sucrose, then glucose and lastly lactose, with lowest reading. I concluded that fructose is the most effective substrate. What is the reasoning behind it? Lactose, on the other hand, holds the lowest reading of ethanol concentration. Does that mean the lactose is least effective as well? Need guidance and clarification (since my deadline draws near). Many thanks.

So I'll be going to the immigration office to extend it to the end of my contract (not resigning). However, my phone was stolen two weeks ago, along with my ARC which I kept in my phone case When my phone was stolen I asked my co-teacher to go to the immigration office to get a new ARC and she said I should wait until this week because there are no classes. Is this going to be a big problem for me at immigration? I hope that the visa sticker in my passport will be sufficient, and I can get squared away with a new ARC.

A cough is a sudden expulsion of air from the lungs. Its purpose is usually to clear secretions and inhaled foreign substances from the lungs and respiratory tract.
There are different types of cough:
- Acute cough—lasts for less than 3 weeks
- Subacute cough—lasts 3-8 weeks
- Chronic cough—lasts longer than 8 weeks
An acute cough is usually caused by an infection, such as a cold or the flu. In some cases, an acute cough can be the sign of other conditions, such as:
- Exposure to an irritant or an allergen
- Aspiration of a foreign body
- Acute bronchitis
- Pneumonia
Subacute cough is often a cough that follows a respiratory infection. It can also be caused by exposure to irritants or to anything that can cause chronic cough.
A chronic cough has many causes. Common examples include:
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis or emphysema
- Asthma
- Acid reflux from the stomach into the esophagus—gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Postnasal drip, which may be due to:
- Repeated inhalation of environmental irritants
- Sinus inflammation
- Allergies
- Bronchiectasis
- Certain medications, such as ACE inhibitors
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of developing a cough include:
- Infection
- Tobacco smoke
- Harmful fumes
- Allergens, such as pollen and dust
- Smog and other environmental pollutants
Smoking is a major risk factor for serious conditions linked to chronic cough, including lung cancer and COPD.
A cough can be a symptom of an underlying condition.
Coughs can be productive or dry. You may find that your cough is worse when waking up and during the night while lying down.
When Should I Call My Doctor?
Call your doctor if you have:
- Acute cough that worsens or does not go away on its own
- Cough lasting more than 8 weeks
- Signs of an infection, including fever and chills
- Cough with wheezing
- Blood in the sputum
When Should I Call for Medical Help Immediately?
Call for medical help or go to the emergency room right away if you have cough with:
- Pink or frothy sputum
- Trouble breathing
- Chest pain
- Rapid heartbeat
- Swelling in the legs
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Acute cough is usually diagnosed by its accompanying symptoms.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Skin tests
- Analysis of a sputum sample
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
During a bronchoscopy, a lighted tube with a camera is inserted into the lungs. Tissue samples can also be taken for evaluation under a microscope.
Your lung function and capacity may be tested. This can be done with pulmonary function tests.
The best treatment for a cough is to treat the underlying condition.
There are many over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold products available. These include decongestants, expectorants, antihistamines, and antitussives.
Note: Cough and cold medications should not be used in children under 2 years old, and they are not recommended in children under 4 years old. The US Food and Drug Administration has not completed its review regarding the safety of over-the-counter cough and cold medications in children ages 2-11 years. Rare, but serious side effects have been reported.
Lifestyle Changes
Consider putting a steam vaporizer or cool-mist humidifier in your room. This type of moisture therapy may help to make secretions looser and easier to cough up.
To reduce your chances of developing a cough:
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about strategies to quit. Smoking affects your lung function and increases your risk of many diseases.
- Get proper treatment for the underlying condition.
When working in areas where harmful fumes or airborne substances are present:
- Be sure the area is properly ventilated.
- Wear a protective mask or respirator.

Recent rule changes that have increased the amount of sponsorship and logos that inter-county teams can carry on their jerseys saw Carlow's senior teams sporting an anti-suicide message when they opened their championship campaigns last weekend.
Both the county footballers and hurlers had the slogan – 'Suicide Aware: Living is Winning' – on the back of their shirts.
"Like a lot of counties Carlow has been affected by this issue and, with so many young men involved in the G.A.A., our county chairman felt that the change of rules about logos gave us a great opportunity to send out a positive message to them," football selector Adrian Corcoran explained.

The minister for Education and Skills, Ruairí Quinn T.D., has announced he is inviting patron-bodies to apply for the patronage of eight new post-primary schools nationwide, due to be established from 2015 and 2016, one of which is to be placed in the town of Kingscourt.
It comes almost two years after Minister Quinn announced back in 2011 that a new second-level school in Kingscourt was part of the new School Building Program.
A new $9 million school for Kingscourt was first confirmed for the east Cavan Town by Cavan V.E.C. in April 2009, which said once built it could accommodate some 500 pupils.

Clare Labour Party T.D. Michael McNamara has called on Bord Iascaigh Mhara (B.I.M.) to withdraw its application for a large-scale salmon farm off the north Clare coast because of "a significant difference of opinion" between B.I.M. and Inland Fisheries Ireland (I.F.I.), both State bodies.
The final decision on the future of the 456-hectare organic fish farm falls to the minister for Agriculture.
The proposed site is just over one mile from Inis Oírr and about four miles from the Clare coast and would accommodate 15,000 tons of salmon each year.
Deputy Michael McNamara is now calling on B.I.M. to withdraw its application for an aquaculture license for the salmon farm. He said, "A significant difference of opinion has emerged between B.I.M. and I.F.I., whose statutory function is the protection, management and conservation of the island's fisheries resource."

Unique luxury holidays in Spain on the unspoilt Costa Brava are more affordable than you think at Castel d'Escales. An historic, private castle property that accommodates 14 guests, with on-site English host and gourmet cook, can cost much less than staying in an area hotel.
Your family and friends will feel completely at home while experiencing your own history in an 11th to 14th century castle that is comfortable and calm, surrounded by beautiful gardens with a private pool.
Located in Spain's region of Catalonia between Barcelona and the French Border, Castel d'Escales is 30 minutes from the Mediterranean's magnificent Costa Brava with its award-winning, golden sand beaches, small charming coves, gorgeous coastline and authentic fishing villages. Untrampled by mass tourism, there's not a high rise building in sight.
The moment you arrive, greeted by the scent of lavender with sunlight reflecting off the inviting terrace, you feel tranquility and relaxation begin to settle in. Entering by the stone stairs curving around the outside of the 11th century circular tower, the energy of this ancient and historic home welcomes you. Casual and at ease, you're free to be as active or idle as you wish during your stay…delighting in your discoveries of this beautiful area and its Catalan culture, history and cuisine.
The castle sleeps up to 14 guests and is perfect for groups with children. Great care is taken to ensure your stay is as restful and enjoyable as possible; the long-term resident host is available to answer questions and suggest the perfect off the beaten track beach or fantastic restaurant.
Delicious gourmet meals and wine tastings can be custom tailored for your group, served (and cleared away) in the barrel-vaulted dining room, as an add-on option. And up to two hours per day of housekeeping (except Sundays) is included in the booking price giving everyone more time to relax.
Activities range from world-class golf, hiking, water sports, boutique vineyard tours, cycling, retail therapy at stylish, chic shops and spa treatments with the area's thermal mineral water to exploring medieval villages, museums and savoring Catalonia's cuisine at some of the best restaurants in Spain.
The ancient city of Girona, resplendent with history and an abundance of attractions and cultural events for its modest size of 96,000, is only 10 minutes from Castel d'Escales. Easily one of Europe's most enticing cities with its large, well conserved medieval Jewish Quarter, Gothic cathedral and Arab baths, it's also home to the Michelin three-star 'El Celler de Can Roca' restaurant, widely known for Catalan Modernist Cuisine (and the number two spot on S. Pellegrino's Best in the World 2011 list).
Why not have your own serene castle hideaway and 'home' just minutes away from the best of everything this fantastic coastal area of Spain has to offer? Pricing for a group of 14 during the summer season, May – September, costs as little as Eu75 per night per person. Add-ons (gourmet meals at the castle, activities, etc.) are extra. Bona Salut!
For booking availability phone (760) 624-8767. Getting there is easy: budget airlines like Ryanair fly daily into Girona.
For more information about Castel d'Escales go to http://www.casteldescales.com.
The enormous terrace, wonderful lavender-filled gardens and pool area provided a beautiful place to enjoy meals and sunsets with good friends and family. Jools's hospitality was a special gift and her meals were delicious.

They keep the presentation of the video clips very well done with beautiful quality in the numbers, it's just the shaking hands of the one behind the camera that cast a bit of a shadow. Images were spectacular!

By Melissa Fusco
Welcome artists, collectors and spectators! I would like to first say 'thank you' to Tattoo Artist Magazine for inviting me to do a monthly contribution to their new TAM Blog. I am honored to be apart of this project and hope to help shed some new light on this dynamic industry from my perspective. I am writing to you in-flight from Denver, Colorado where I was visiting one of my resident studios, Godspeed Ink Tattoo located in Breckenridge, Colorado…
Breckenridge is a skiing/snowboarding resort located in the heart of the Rockies. This town is full of rich mining history since gold was discovered there in 1859. The Gold Rush brought in all sorts of transient people, digging to be rich by day -to drinking, gambling and brothel hopping by night. To me nowadays, not much has changed. Digging for gold in the form of snow, Breckenridge now in its 51st year of ski resort operation, and snowboarding is my primary reason for being in Colorado, as well as my fellow artists at Godspeed.
This winter of 2013 will be my 20th year on a snowboard and my 10th anniversary tattooing. I have worked in a few different studios in a few different states, and I have to say that I have never worked in a studio like Godspeed. I first visited there as a guest artist in February 2009 and moved the following June. Though I have deep roots in Colorado since I went to college outside of Crested Butte starting in 1995… My love for the Rockies goes further then anything else in my life and those that know me are used to seeing me come and go. The best thing in the world is to be able to share that love with others.
In my experience, I feel it is important to share more with each other then just your work space and hang out with your shop-mates outside of a work schedule. I have worked in studios where artists never hang out and a common bond is nonexistent. I have also worked at some studios that the only hang out time is a drink after work, which is better then nothing. However, getting outside and exploring nature, going to a show or museum, having meals together and loving life is so important for any relationship especially in a creative environment. In turn when a shop-mate is dealing with an unfortunate life experience it is easier for us to give a helping hand, companionship and understanding. Every artist at Godspeed snowboards, and it is one of the top priorities in our lives. The Shred and The Art! That is normally the order of our daily routine. Being that much closer to your shop-mates is such a unique feeling, inevitably spiraling into the shared creative atmosphere.
Every environment has its ups and downs, those are the dynamics with multiple humans consistently sharing space. The least amount of troubles, the better creative environment for everyone. Step aside and bring in awareness, down to the core level of why you are where you are. Ask yourself, how does your environment help fulfill your life, and does that reflect positively in your work? If a change is needed take the leap, if not, then take the initiative and ask your mates to share a meal, go to a museum exhibit, a live show, a hike, or whatever you think could help create a more positive, creative, open environment so that you can transcend as an artist. Respect needs to exist no matter what level it can be given and/or received. Being mindful is necessary.
Tattooing is greater then itself, as a tattooer we are actively participating in a craft greater then ourselves. As allies and spectators of tattooing, we are connected with the art, act and end result; that is greater then ourselves.
* Check your ego, don't allow it to expand ahead of your capabilities or contribution. We all have an ego, it is necessary, be sure to keep it parallel.
*Reach out to others, especially those near you in your creative environment.
*Build a foundation to grow from to keep your environment motivating, and free of negative energy.
*Watch out for emotional vampires, they tend to suck you of your energy. You can not alter their perspective and may need to keep them respectfully at a distance.
*Encourage a common bond.
I would like to conclude with mentioning the Paradise Tattoo Gathering that was held in Keystone, Colorado (just around the corner) it was so amazing to have so many creative, talented, friendly artists and spectators share in the experience and the energy that the mountains had to offer. Everyone was so stoked on the environment, and I am so happy that the Paradise Gathering will be returning to Keystone in 2013. Don't miss it! Bring your mates too! Lots of love and positive vibes!

Benedict XVI
Benedict XVI (Latin: Benedictus PP. XVI), born Joseph Alois Ratzinger, is the 265th and current Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, and by virtue of that office, Sovereign of the Vatican City State. He was elected on April 19, 2005 in a papal conclave, celebrated his Papal Inauguration Mass on April 24, 2005, and took possession of his cathedral, the Basilica of St. John Lateran, on May 7, 2005. Pope Benedict has both German and Vatican citizenship. He succeeded John Paul II, who died at the beginning of April 2005.
Dialogue with Christian religions
Speaking at his weekly audience in St Peter's Square on June 7, 2006, Pope Benedict asserted that Jesus himself had entrusted the leadership of the Church to his apostle Peter. "Peter's responsibility thus consists of guaranteeing the communion with Christ," said Pope Benedict. "Let us pray so that the primacy of Peter, entrusted to poor human beings, may always be exercised in this original sense desired by the Lord, so that it will be increasingly recognised in its true meaning by brothers who are still not in communion with us." The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Pope has a leading role among Christians because as bishop of Rome he is successor to the apostle Peter who first held the office. The role of the Roman Catholic papacy remains a source of controversy, not only for Protestant denominations but also for Eastern Orthodox churches and members of the Restorationism movement, which does not accept the dogmas of the First Vatican Council.
The bishops of the Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople have expressed concern over Pope Benedict XVI's decision to drop "patriarch of the West" from his official titles in the Vatican yearbook. In a June 8, 2006 statement, the chief secretary of the Orthodox bishops' synod said dropping "patriarch of the West" while retaining the titles "vicar of Jesus Christ" and "supreme pontiff of the universal church" is "perceived as implying a universal jurisdiction of the bishop of Rome over the entire church, which is something the Orthodox have never accepted." The statement was issued after synod members discussed the change during their early June meeting. Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, said in a March statement that dropping the title of patriarch in reference to the pope does not minimize the importance of the patriarchal office, particularly in relation to the ancient Eastern churches. "Even less can this suppression be seen as implying new claims" of power or authority on the part of the Vatican, he said. However, members of the Orthodox synod disagreed. From their point of view, "the geographical limits of each ecclesiastical jurisdiction" have been a key part of the structure of the church from the earliest days of Christianity. The church as a whole is "a unity of full local churches" and not a monolith divided into local units simply for the sake of easier governance. The Orthodox synod's statement said that, with the international Catholic-Orthodox theological dialogue set to begin again in September with plans to deal with the "thorny problem" of papal primacy, it would have been better not to have dropped the title without consultation.
A leading Ukrainian Orthodox spokesman has said that a visit to Ukraine by Pope Benedict XVI would be "untimely," according to the country's RISU news service. "If Pope Benedict is a moral and a spiritual person and wants only good for Ukraine and its people, he will never take such an unreasonable step," said Valentyn Lukianyk, the head of the Union of Orthodox Brotherhoods of Ukraine. He was responding to the news that Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has invited the Pope to visit the country. There have been numerous clashes between Orthodox and Catholic believers over the ownership of parish properties that were confiscated by the Communists and handed over to Orthodox clerics. At the same time, Orthodox leaders have complained that Catholics are engaged in "proselytism," seeking converts among Orthodox believers. In his statement opposing a papal visit, Lukianyk said that relations between Catholics and Orthodox in Ukraine are now "warming." A visit by Pope Benedict, he said, would place an undue burden on those sensitive ties.
Catholics believe there is biblical, and historical evidence of the Bishop of Rome's primacy. In scripture they cite the following:
- You are Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church (Mat 16:18)
- Next to Jesus, Peter is mentioned more than any other apostle in Scripture (152 times).
- He stood up and spoke on behalf of the apostles to lead in their replacement of Judas.(Mt 19:27, Acts 1:15, 2:14)
- He stood up to lead the apostles at the birth of the Church at the Pentecost (Acts 2:14)
- The disciples were referred to as Peter and the Apostles. (Acts 2:37, 5:29)
- Peter was given the authority to forgive sins before the rest of the apostles. (Mat 16:18)
- He was always named first when the apostles were listed (Matthew 10:1-4, Mark 3:16-19, Luke 6:14-16, Acts 1:13) -- sometimes it was only "Peter and those who were with him" (Luke 9:32);
- Apostle John ran ahead of Peter to the tomb but upon arriving he stopped and did not go in. He waited and let Peter go in. (Jn 20:4)
- Jesus told Peter to "feed my lambs...tend my sheep... feed my sheep." (Jn 21:15-17) The difference between a sheep and a lamb might be significant. A lamb is a baby, a sheep is an adult. Perhaps Jesus was asking Peter to take care of both the general people (the lambs), and the apostles (sheep). Regardless of that interpretation of sheep and lambs, it is clear Jesus is asking Peter to feed and tend his flock. That is what a shepherd does. It appears to me that he is asking Peter to shepherd his Church on earth, on his behalf.
Among the Eastern Early Church Fathers they cite:
- Tatian the Syrian (170 A.D.): "Simon Kephas answered and said, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.' Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah: flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee also, that you are Rock, and on this Rock will I build my Church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it" (The Diatesseron 23 [A.D. 170]).
- Tertullian (220 A.D.):"Was anything hid from Peter, who was called the Rock, whereon the Church was built; who obtained the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the power of loosing and of binding in heaven and on earth?" (Tertullian, De Praescript Haeret).
- Tertullian thereafter writes to criticize Pope Callistus I by saying ...."I now inquire into your opinions, to see whence you usurp the right for the Church. Do you presume, because the Lord said to Peter, 'On this rock I will build my Church ...[Matt 16-19]' that the power of binding and loosing has thereby been handed over to you, that is, to every church akin to Peter? What kind of man are you, subverting and changing what was the manifest intent of the Lord when He conferred this personally on Peter? 'On you,' He says, 'I will build my Church; and I give to you the keys'...." (Tertullian, On Modesty 21:9-10)
- The Apocryphal Letter of St. Clement of Rome to St. James (C. 221 A.D.) "Be it known to you, my lord, that Simon [Peter], who, for the sake of the true faith, and the most sure foundation of his doctrine, was set apart to be the foundation of the Church, and for this end was by Jesus Himself, with His truthful mouth, named Peter" (Letter of Clement to James 2 [A.D. 221])
- St. Gregory Nazianzus write …. "See thou that of the disciples of Christ, all of whom were great and deserving of the choice, one is called a Rock and entrusted with the foundations of the Church." (Gregory Naz., T. i or xxxii). ... and "Peter, the Chief of the disciples, but he was a Rock (Gregory Naz., T. ii.) …and … "[Peter], that unbroken Rock who held the keys." (Gregory Naz., Sect. ii Poem Moral. tom. ii.)
- St. Gregory of Nyssa: "Peter, with his whole soul, associates himself with the Lamb; and, by means of the change of his name, he is changed by the Lord into something more divine. Instead of Simon, being both called and having become a Rock, the great Peter did not by advancing little by little attain unto this grace, but at once he listened to his brother (Andrew), believed in the Lamb, and was through faith perfected, and, having cleaved to the Rock, became himself Peter." (Gregory of Nyssa, T. i. Hom. xv. in C. Cantic). …and …. "Peter ...that most firm Rock, upon which the Lord build His Church." (Gregory of Nyssa, Alt. Or. De. S. Steph.)
- St. Basil the Great:…. "The house of God, which is the Church of the living God, the foundations of which are on the holy mountains, for it is built upon the Apostles and prophets. One also of these mountains was Peter, upon which Rock the Lord promised to build His Church." (Basil, T. i. Comment. in Esai. c. ii.). …and …. "The soul of blessed Peter was called a lofty Rock ..." (Basil, Sermon 1 De Fide I.13).
- St. John Chrysostom: "...and when I name Peter, I name that unbroken Rock, that firm foundation, the Great Apostle, the First of the disciples ..." (Chrysostom, T. ii. Hom. iii. de Paednit). …and …. "Peter, the leader of the choir, that Mouth of the rest of the Apostles, that Head of the brotherhood, that one set over the entire universe, that Foundation of the Church." (Chrysostom, In illud. hoc Scitote). and …. "Peter, ... that Pillar of the Church, the Buttress of the Faith, the Foundation of the Confession." (Chrysostom, T. iii. Hom. de Dec. Mill. Talent)

So yeah, my friend J used to joke about being a modern urban cavegirl, wearing little fur stoles and eating steak and dragging boys back to her cave apartment. This is bone print is a less subtle take on that.
I don't even know what this print is supposed to be. Snagglepuss didn't have spots.
I can almost imagine a situation in which this ensemble would be appropriate, and it involves Taylor Momsen and Halloween. The gloves are fierce, but the jagged sleeves on that jacket just make the Fashion Gods cry Chanel No. 5-scented tears.
Wilma and Betty had better accessories.
Are you ready to barf up your Brontosaurus burger yet?
Just in case you don't "get it" — bones on the shoes, too.
This looks like the infamous dissolving bikini.
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry... Laugh, I think. Like this: HAHAHAHAHA! CAPTAIN CAVEMAN GOES TO SOUTH BEACH!!! LOL! Unrelated: The limited edition sneakers are hot.
This sabre-tooth tiger swimsuit isn't really that bad…
…When you consider this painful Borat-ish contraption, complete with faux-paws. Yeah, I said it. FAUX-PAWS. Faux-paws are a faux pas.
"I'm just gonna pretend I'm naked. Naked, walking in a spotlight. That's way less horrifying than thinking about what I'm actually wearing."

Other Benign Skin Growths in Children
What are other benign skin growths?
As a person grows older and is exposed to sunlight, the skin changes. Children may have freckles and moles. These may multiply or darken over time in response to sun exposure.
What are the different types of skin growths?
Skin Growth
Small, firm, red or brown bumps caused by an accumulation of fibroblasts (soft tissue cells under the skin). They often happen on the legs and may itch. They often result from trauma, like a bug bite.
Dermatofibromas can be surgically removed if they become painful or itchy.
Dermoid cyst
A benign tumor that is made up of hairs, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. Some internal dermoid tumors may even contain cartilage, bone fragments, and teeth. They are usually present at birth.
Dermoid cysts may be surgically removed for cosmetic reasons.
Darkened, flat spots that typically appear only on sun-exposed areas of the skin. Freckles are common in people with blond or red hair.
No treatment is necessary for freckles.
Smooth, firm, raised, fibrous growths on the skin that form in wound sites. Keloids are more common in African-Americans.
Keloids respond poorly to most treatment approaches. Injections of corticosteroid drugs may help to flatten the keloids. Other treatment approaches may include surgery, laser, or silicone patches to further flatten the keloids.
Round or oval lumps under the skin caused by fatty deposits. They tend to appear on the forearms, torso, and back of the neck.
Lipomas are generally harmless, but if the lipoma changes shape, a biopsy may be recommended. Treatment may include surgical removal if the lipoma bothers the child.
Moles (nevi)
Small skin marks caused by pigment-producing cells in the skin. Moles can be flat or raised, smooth or rough, and some contain hair. Most moles are dark brown or black. Some are skin-colored or yellowish. Moles can change over time and often respond to hormonal changes.
Most moles are benign and no treatment is necessary. Some benign moles may develop into skin cancer (melanoma). See below for signs.
Atypical moles (dysplastic nevi)
Larger than normal moles (more than a half inch across), atypical moles are not always round. Atypical moles can be tan to dark brown, on a pink background. These types of moles may happen anywhere on the body.
Treatment may include removal of any atypical mole that changes in color, shape, and/or diameter. In addition, people with atypical moles should avoid sun exposure, since sunlight may accelerate changes in atypical moles. People with atypical moles should talk with a health care provider for any changes that may indicate skin cancer.
Pyogenic granulomas
Red, brown, or bluish-black, raised marks caused by excessive growth of capillaries (small blood vessels) and swelling. Pyogenic granulomas usually form after an injury to the skin.
They tend to bleed easily.
Some pyogenic granulomas disappear without treatment. Sometimes, a biopsy is necessary to rule out cancer. Treatment may include surgical removal.
