Phat Filter Carbon Air Filter 375 CFM 16in x 6in
The Phat Filter features virgin activated carbon to remove odors and particles from the air. Comes with a pre-filter to remove air particles and is great for growing operations.
Phat Filter Carbon Air Filter 375 CFM 16" x 6"
- Professional grade, world renowned greenhouse air filter
- Removes odors and particles from air
- Phat Filters use special charcoal carbon that comes from a pre-Cambrian ore source, which is some of the oldest carbon found on earth
- Carbon dates back 250 million years and is what makes the Phat Filter so effective
- Activated with steam at very high temperatures
- No hazardous compounds ever come into contact during the excavation process
- Uses no glues or binders which increases the effective filtering capability of Phat Filters
- Made with 1200 MG/G Iodine Test, Virgin Charcoal
- Includes Pre-filter for removing larger air particles
- Note: The given cubic feet per minute (CFM) rating is for scrubbing, divide by 2 to get exhaust filter CFM
The Phat Filter Carbon Air Filter is designed to remove odors and contaminants from air while also decreasing the particles found. It does this through the use of a pre-filter and a virgin carbon filter. The carbon filter is the "brains" behind the operation as it has the ability to "scrub" air clean of odors and provide clean, fresh air.
This filter system is great for use with growing operations, providing plants with the cleanest air possible for their growth. It can also be used to ventilate households, barns, sheds and much more. These filters come in many different sizes with differing flow rates and can be used with almost any kind of ventilation blower or centrifugal fan.
Benefits of the Phat Filters:
- Highly effective, low density virgin carbon
- Carbon tightly packed for increased porosity and surface area
- Greater and more even air movement provided by an internal, conical filter base
- Manufactured so that no air blows by the filter without being filtered
- Outer aluminum mesh provides 53% open area allowing for increased airflow
- Genuine Phat Filters are immediately sealed after manufacture to help retain moisture, optimize presentation and improve life expectancy

Sub of Subs
- Expired
- Duluth
- Sandwiches
These are some of the finest grilled sandwiches around: fresh bread, whole ingredients and housemade sauces. Oh, and none of that merely-heated-bun nonsense. These folks grill the whole sub, bun and all.We like to think we're not a picky people, by nature. But when we have a grilled sub, we expect—nay, demand—that the entire sub be grilled; not just the bread. Yes, friends, we demand the sub of all subs! Which, luckily, we can find at the appropriately named Sub of Subs. At this unassuming sandwich joint, the sandwich makers shrink away in disgust at the idea of a merely toasted or heated bun. When we sat down with a hot-off-the-grill Torpex Sub, it was clear that this was different from other sub joints around town. And that, in a nutshell (or a piping hot roll), was owner Josh's goal—to pile high on freshly baked bread: steaming chicken, grilled onions and melted provolone cheese, all smothered over with signature SOS hot sauce.
The space is comfortable, too, with booths and small tables designed for catching up, or taking the family out for dinner. The sandwich experts behind the counter make an effort to be friendly to each customer that pops in, many of whom they know from previous visits. (Like us.) And it's not at all uncommon for these visitors to rub their hands in anticipation as they wait for their fresh sub, crafted using only whole ingredients, homemade sauces and, of course, love. Except by "love," we mean hand-sliced deli meats. Naturally.
Menu Highlights:
16 Piece Wings, $12.64
Medium Sub, $5.79
Large Sub, $6.98

'One Tree Hill' Creator Talks Dan's Redemption & Saying Goodbye
The mastermind behind 'One Tree Hill' weighs in on one of the series' most debated story lines: Was Dan Scott officially redeemed?
Well, kids, the day we've all been dreading has finally arrived: One Tree Hill's two-hour series finale airs at 8 p.m. tonight on The CW. I recently spoke with creator Mark Schwahn about the show's epic nine-year run, and as is often the case, the conversation quickly turned to its most polarizing character, Dan Scott (Paul Johansson). You'll be very happy to know that, like the fans, Mark still has very conflicted thoughts about the late villain's redemption — or lack thereof.
"I always say that when fans used to argue about the story lines, and when our writers room had differing opinions, the show was at its best," Mark explained. "And that was one of them. We had long-winded discussions in the writers room about whether or not Dan Scott should be redeemed."
As he who created Dan Scott, I asked Mark if he felt the redemption was earned.
"It's not for me to decide, and I wanted it to be that way," he admitted. "I'm not trying to get political about it. It was designed for the fans to decide. There are many that just won't forgive him."
Ultimately, Mark said, it was more important for Keith to make up his mind than anyone else.
"You could make a case for family and for anyone who was wounded by the choices [Dan] was making, but for Keith to forgive him was more compelling for me," Mark said. "A lot of times, [the show] presented a version of us, the audience, that was the best version we could be. And in that moment, I don't know if any of us could find the capacity to forgive the man who took our life. [Keith] was such a heroic character, and he chose to be heroic in that moment. I felt a lightness for Dan, for his heart and soul."
Of course, the fans weren't the only voices in Mark's head.
"My mom really wanted redemption for Dan," Mark says. "She's been so upset with me that he died. She just wanted him to be forgiven, and she felt that he had paid his dues. And she believed he was being heartfelt in his choices."
Mark then explained his philosophy behind the characters he's crafted during the series' nine-year run, perfectly illustrating why fans have remained so passionate about them after nearly a decade.
"We tried to write human beings," Mark said. "We wrote them flawed and we wrote them heroic and we wrote them everywhere in between, which is certainly what Dan was. I liked that complexity. There weren't any easy answers for him, and that made for really good drama and really good television."
What do you think, devoted OTH-ers? After nine years of bad parenting, brother murdering and Rachel marrying, did season nine finally provide Dan Scott with the redemption he so desperately craved? Drop me a comment with your thoughts! This is an emotional time for us all.

Liberty News
Club Sports to add three teams this fall
|The new men's and women's disc golf teams will practice on Liberty University's new 18-hole course.
The boom of Liberty University Club Sports continues as men's racquetball and men's and women's disc golf programs are set to begin this fall.
These programs bring the total number of Club Sports teams to 29 -- 17 men's teams and 12 women's teams.
"These new sports are going to be great additions to our department," said Director of Club Sports Kirk Handy. "It is exciting to see how rapidly our department has been able to grow."
The Club Sports program began in 2007 with six teams and about 90 student-athletes, Handy said. With the new teams next year, there will be 400 student-athletes.
The disc golf teams will use a new 18-hole disc golf course on 30 acres of Liberty-owned land across U.S. 460 from main campus. The course opened in Fall 2010.
|The new men's racquetball club sports team will practice and compete on the five racquetball courts at The Sports Racket in Lynchburg.
The men's racquetball team will train and compete at The Sports Racket, a Lynchburg, Va., tennis facility donated to Liberty earlier this year. The Sports Racket is about a 15-minute drive from Liberty's campus.
Charles Billingsley, a Christian music artist and worship pastor at Thomas Road Baptist Church, will assist the racquetball team in its first year. Billingsley is also well known in the Lynchburg racquetball community, ranking as the No. 1 player in the city's only racquetball club.
"The thing I've always wanted to do was put together a club team," Billingsley said. "Schools like the University of Virginia have them. It's a great sport for students to get involved in. It's one of the best sports in the world."
For more information on these new programs, contact Club Sports at email@example.com or (434) 592-3957. For more information about other Club Sports teams, visit www.liberty.edu/clubsports.
- An information session about the racquetball team will be held at LaHaye Ice Center in the Club Sports Conference Room at 3:30 p.m. May 3.

What is Friends Against Scams?
Friends Against Scams is a National Trading Standards Scams Team initiative which aims to protect and prevent people from becoming victims of scams by empowering communities to... 'Take a Stand Against Scams.'
Friends Against Scams is designed to inspire action, highlight the scale of the problem, change the perceptions of why people fall for scams and make scams a community, regional and national topic.
By attending a Friends Against Scams awareness session or completing the online learning, anyone can learn about the different types of scams and how to spot and support a victim. With increased knowledge and awareness, people can make scams part of everyday conversation with their family, friends and neighbours, which will enable them to protect themselves and others.
Anyone can be a Friend Against Scams and make a difference in their own way.
Awareness Sessions
Friends Against Scams awareness sessions are run by SCAMchampions, who are trained and supported by the NTS Scams Team. Each 45 minute awareness session is fun and interactive and a chance to meet other people who want to '"Take a Stand Against Scams".
Awareness sessions run across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. You can find your nearest session here.
Alternatively, complete the online learning session, which can be done in the comfort of your own home, at work or wherever, is most convenient for you. The online learning is also interactive, so you will be able to learn about scams in a fun way. Complete the online learning here.
Friends' Pledges
As a Friend Against Scams you will be asked to turn the knowledge you have gained about scams into action in order to "Take a Stand Against Scams".
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Tell five people about the Friends Against Scams initiative.
- Educate and talk to people about scams.
- Share your Friends Against Scams status on social media.
- Look out for people who are at risk of being a scam victim in your community.
- Campaign for change - write to your local MP asking them promote scams awareness.
- Actively support your local fight against scams by setting up or taking part in scam awareness activity or event in your local area.
- Make a difference to someone's life by getting in touch and staying in touch, with someone who has been a victim of a scam.
- Display a poster in the window of your home to show your neighbours that you're part of Friends Against Scams and to promote the initiative.
- Challenge attitudes about scam victims and help to stamp out the stigma of this commonly misunderstood problem by talking about scams and influencing people to consider scams from a different point of view.

Linux Writer Gets Ready For Disaster... Again
Disaster Redux
Hurricane Charley roared through Southwest and Central Florida a little over two weeks ago. And even though the winds were down to 105 MPH in Orlando, where I live, it was dicey. That kind of energy destroys things.
So, now I find myself getting ready for another potential disaster, Hurricane Frances.
How will I send Linux stories to my editors if the power is out for a week, which it was? Likewise, with my broadband/cable connection, down for 14 days. How will I keep up with world events and email? I'll share some hard earned lessons with you in this story.
I'm not going to rehash all the common sense contingency plan type things that you most certainly have in place. You've planned, right?
What I am going to talk about are some of the little things that you might not have considered. Believe me, after a disaster, the little things can greatly influence your computing pleasure or pain.
Aside from destruction of your computer hardware, the two biggest headaches during and after a disaster, are power and network connectivity.
Power is the biggest headache, because without good old 110 volt service, none of your Linux desktops or Apache/Postgresql servers are going to be running. To get any work done you'll have to not only power those machines, but also your LCDs or monitors, your routers and your printers. That's just on your internal network.
Options for a business or home office could include a permanent setup, such as an LP gas powered Guardian, a standard portable gasoline generator or some type of inverter/battery arrangement. Adding in some lights or fans for comfort (the A/C won't be working) can complicate the matter.
Let's add up a quick example and see how much power we might need:
|Apache web server
|Postgresql database server
|Desktop Linux machine
|IPCop Firewall machine
|Consumer wireless/router
|Laser printers
|100 watt lights
|Cable/DSL modem
|Incidental powered devices
You could get a little 4000 watt consumer gasoline generator from one of the big retail home improvement stores. Better plan ahead, because I can tell you, after a disaster of any size, you simply won't be able to buy one. And let's not forget the extension cords (of correct capacity) and all those gallons of gas. Those little generator gas tanks hold 3 or 4 gallons and might be good for 4 hours. Multiply that by 6 days (without electrical power), like we had here in Orlando and you'll have to do 12 fill-ups and handle 48 gallons of gas. The big gas cans that I have hold 6 gallons and are very awkward to lift. I'll need at least 8 gas cans. Central Florida basically ran out of gas on day two, after the hurricane. Providing your own power is complicated and labor intensive.
Seems to me that if you can spring for a small standalone commercial generator system, it might be money well spent. Inverter/battery systems might work for a few hours, but you have to charge the batteries, somehow. Inverter/batteries aren't really what you would call continuous duty, but may work for very short term operations.

Last night word broke that AT&T was sending SMS messages and email to customers who didn't have tethering plans but AT&T suspected were tethering via Jailbreak apps like MyWi. In their messages, AT&T offers 3 choices:
- Stop tethering
- Voluntarily change to a paid tethering plan (and lose unlimited data if you were grandfathers in)
- Be forcibly changed to a paid tethering plan by AT&T (and lose unlimited data)
It's still uncertain if and how AT&T knows if a customer is tethering via Jailbreak. Theories include everything from deep packet inspection to use of WAP vs. ISP pipes to counting TTL numbers, to "they're bluffing" and simply targeting high bandwidth users.
Regardless, AT&T seems fairly serious about it this time. We heard from one reader who called in and tried to explain away high data usage on Netflix and other streaming media services, only to be told the AT&T tethering team would look into.
Tethering team?
While AT&T is able to charge what they want for any services they offer, it hits incredible unfairness buttons in consumers when they feel they're being charged double to use the same bits. With unlimited plans it's somewhat understandable -- AT&T's network would likely collapse in a puddle if everyone tethered all the data they could. With a 2GB plan, however, bits should be bits. How about this?
- Offer tethering for free on the 2GB plan
- Offer an extra 2GB for $15.
- Offer reasonable overage charges beyond that.
It lets bits be bits, it offers a fair way for power users to get more data, and it provides fair protection from the heaviest 1% of users who would put a huge hurt on the network.
(Disclosure: I'm on Rogers, they've so far offered tethering for free on any account with 1GB - 6GB of data a month since iOS 3, and personal hotspot is now free as well since iOS 4.3.)
Have you spoken with AT&T and their tethering team yet? What's your situation right now?

Tuberculosis was a killing disease well into the 20th century and society found itself with few remedies. One school of thought held that the disease could be cured by removing its sufferers from the polluted cities and placing them in clean, remote country sites. Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau had become a doctor after the death of his brother from tuberculosis and specialized in treatment of the disease. But he too, contracted it, and in 1876 he considered himself near death. He decided to die in one of his favorite places, Saranac Lake in the Adirondack Mountains. But instead of dying, his health improved and he decided the place would be perfect for a sanitarium or a kind of resort for sufferers from the disease. Using new ideas from Europe, he created a regimen of exercise, fresh air, and rest and completed the sanatarium in 1884. In 1887-88, the writer Robert Louis Stevenson wintered there. Trudeau felt that winters were best for tuberculosis patients due to its fresh, cold air. Stevenson did get better and wrote a favorable review in "The Saturday Evening Post," one of the country's widest-read magazines. Trudeau ran the sanitarium until his death in 1915 and it continues to this day as the Trudeau Institute. These photographs depict sanitarium life: the taking of the cold winter air on the porch, sled rides, and hikes in the snow, all intended to fill the lungs of tuberculosis sufferers with fresh, cold air.

Protection Tree Tweaks
In my opinion the need and effort involved in getting to an uncrushable state warps the class in many ways. For example, you simply cannot evaluate a lot of paladin tank gear as you would not wear it solely because of uncrushability.
We don't really know how a paladin raid tank would perform in true paladin tank gear. This is because if she was in true paladin tank gear, she would be crushable, and thus pointless. Similarly, a talent such as Redoubt is useless after uncrushability is achieved.
So I solve the problem Gordian-Knot-style, and simply fold uncrushability into Shield Specialization (additionally reduces chance of crushing blow by 5/10/15%).
Additionally, Blessing of Sanctuary is removed, and Kings moved into its position. With the smaller raid size, there are not really enough paladins to put all required blessings up, and Sanctuary is usually dropped. Kings is a good blessing, but not necessary in 10-man content, and only one paladin in 25-man content needs it.
I added a Fear Immunity, Blessing of Courage, into the 11-point slot, making it reasonably accessible to all specs. It's a short duration blessing, modelled after Blessing of Freedom.
The final change was to swap Weapon Expertise for a talent that returns mana when blocking. Because we are paladins, it is extended to return mana to the entire party. Seems in theme, but makes us different than warriors, as a paladin tank would more likely be put in a caster group.
We retain our strengths of being really good on fast attack or AoE fights, but we still have our weaknesses of lower health and damage mitigation than warriors.
We also get a lot more freedom to gear up. Basically, I'm tired of wearing warrior tanking gear, and would really like to wear paladin tanking gear.
Edit: Hmm. It appears that the talent tree site is down. Hopefully the description above is enough for people get the idea.
16 comments:
So, you're going to kill AOE grinding by removing BoS for the sake of raiding?.. Gee thanks a lot. Kill a blessing that the AOE levelers use for the sake of raid tanking. Raiders are what, 15% of the WoW population?..ReplyDelete
Yes, yes I am. AoE grinding is amusing and fun, but reducing you to killing 4-5 mobs at a time instead of 6-8 is an acceptable trade-off.ReplyDelete
Plus you get mana back from blocking, which decreases downtime as well.
I like the general idea but have a huge issue over the Kings changes. This is the best buff in the game as it scales with gear and I believe useful from everywhere from solo to 25 man. Decently geared tanks will get more out of Kings than Fort and I already get more out of Kings than AI. Having to spend 10 more points in Prot and give up my 41 point holy talent is a deal breaker for me.ReplyDelete
This brings me to the Seal of Courage as a 11 point talent it is far to accessible to other builds given it's really a tool for MT'ing and as such should be higher in the tree. I even think it's too powerful for 21 point and maybe should be somewhere after you have reckoning as by this time you are committed to a Tanking primary role (excluding half baked Reckoning/SoComm builds)
I love the Mana on block idea as atm if we get a good amount of avoidance we are penalised by not taking damage and in return regenerating mana. Sharing a small % of that regen with party fits the classes support framework well. However a Paladin that feeds and Shadow Priest Mana than then feeds the Paladin Health and Mana back might be a little overpowered.
I like the Blessing of Sanctity and as such would like to see it remain as a trainable blessing. I'm planning a respect to Prot after I get my Nether ray just to get a feel for tanking again so that if a Tank isn't around I have the option to just repec and these changes would be welcome.
Druids seem to be the only true Hybrid working at the moment we often have 3 Restro, a Doomkin and a Feral in 25 mans and yet 7 out of 9 of our raiding Paladins are Holy and the other two are Ret.
Kings vs Courage was something I was debating. Courage at 11 points makes it easy for paladins to take over the role of dwarf priests, and also help druid tanks or warrior tanks. It makes the blessing generally available to the Horde as well.ReplyDelete
Courage at 21 essentially means that it will be a fear break only paladin tanks will have.
Kings is very good, no question, but I'm not sure it's absolutely necessary in 10-man content, and in 25-man content, one paladin speccing for it isn't so bad, just have one pally be part of your tank corps.
To be honest, though, the really important change is folding uncrushability into Shield Specialization. In many ways, it has the potential to completely change the way you gear up a paladin tank.ReplyDelete
Then make Fear ward a class trained skill for Priests. I think having near all the Paladins capable of protecting against fear in the raid would trivialise Fear as a raid mechanic. Alliance would have far too many wards against fear and Blizzard would have to start using silly things like Terror effects and we'd be back to square one with no protection against it.ReplyDelete
Allowing a Paladin to Raid as Protection spec is all well and good but forcing the raid to bring them for Kings isn't wise as you only want a small number of Tanking Paladins in the guild anyway.
Yeah I guess I am losing site of the big picture a little. We are far to dependant on Warrior Tanking gear and giving us a little free crush immunity would go along way in allowing us to chase spell dmg and int.ReplyDelete
The advantage of doing Courage as a paladin blessing the way I have is that the number of people who can be protected is limited. One person per paladin.ReplyDelete
Secondly, because it's a Blessing it will replace the Greater Blessing on the target, giving another reason to use it sparingly.
I know next to nothing about PvP, but I know that some locks are frustrated about the growing number of ways to break fear, and I know that BoF is considered to be among the most important Arena skills (up with Moral Strike). A skill that can break fear that's reasonably accessible to what's already one of the most widely represented arena spec/classes (Holy Paladins) might have undesirable effects there.ReplyDelete
I in general kinda like your changes, though I don't know a ton about tanking. (Only what I've read.) I support alterations to prot itemization/tree/style that play up the differences between prot pallies and the other tanks, rather than changes that try to make pallies more like warriors. (i.e., pally spell reflect, pally shield bash, etc.)
If it were me, I'd move Holy Shield down to 21, keep Blessing of Kings at 11, and Blessing of Courage to 31. That way, a few more paladins can spec for healing/off-tank, and serious tankadins can bring the fear break. It wouldn't be overpowered - make it so that it's 5 seconds of fear immunity on a 30 second cooldown. That way, you'll have to time it just right so that it's used preemptively.ReplyDelete
70 paladin, Runetotem
You nailed the core issues spot on - in order to gear up to uncrushable we have to sacrifice mana and spelldamage, which diminish our ability to hold aggro, and forget about resistance gear altogether.ReplyDelete
As others, I'd leave Kings right where it is and move a Seal of Courage much deeper down the prot tree. This way, you avoid giving the already over-represented arena pallie yet another additional big plus (and the supplemental cries for nerfing), incentivize taking a pallie into a raid's tanking team, and increase the options for a tankadin to dabble in arena without respeccing to holy.
Mana regen on shield block is absolutely mint.
Also, all though I cannot see your proposed talent tree, there are 2 things wrong with the paladin talent trees concerning tanking at the moment. Firstly, the prot tree is bloated - way too many "must have" talents. But I can deal with that. Most serious warrior tanks invest 45+ in their prot tree. The advantage they have is that they only need 5 points in their arms tree for 5% parry, while we need 10 points in our ret tree. Plus, our only "oh sh!t" button is in holy, and you need 11-12 points in that tree to get that... so basically, you either have to coordinate your specs with your other paladins and make sure that they take and use Improved Lay on Hands, or gimp your tanking to get it.ReplyDelete
70 paladin, Runetotem server
Considering boss-type mobs only have a 15% chance of a crushing blow, your change to shield specialization would make paladin immune to crushability with a passive (not even fire-and-forget) talent.ReplyDelete
Warriors, who can consistently avoid crushing blows for the most part, have trouble against fast hitting bosses.
What would the point of holy shield be then? To reduce like 300 (without the 15% extra from shield specialization) damage from attacks? Thats not even a third of a renew tick from a well-geared priest.
Also, I like the idea of blessing of courage, but like someone else mentioned, it would be too strong in PvP. Fear is the only spell that can somewhat reliably crowd-control the paladin (and freaking Curse of Tongues). Everything else can be broken by Blessing of Sacrifce anyway.
Your intentions are good, but total immunity to crushing blows and crowd control is not the answer.
What would the point of holy shield be then? To reduce like 300 (without the 15% extra from shield specialization) damage from attacks? Thats not even a third of a renew tick from a well-geared priest.ReplyDelete
Massive amounts of threat? Holy Shield is really strong threat-wise.
Against slow, hard hitting bosses, we still have the flaws of lower damage mitigation and health than a warrior.
The problem still exists that many of the changes you propose, and the tweaks other have suggested would only be usefull in the end-game.ReplyDelete
While you call the AoE grind "amusing and fun" it's still a key part of pally leveling. What do you want everyone to do, level as Ret spec?.. (groan)
The talent trees aren't just for lvl 70.
Massive amounts of threat? Holy Shield is really strong threat-wise.ReplyDelete
Oh, I know. But with the changes you are suggesting, we'd be wearing lots of spell damage gear anyway, and honestly, threat has never been the problem.

A Huntington Beach planning commissioner and council candidate last week pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit.
An attorney for Tim Ryan entered the plea in Orange County Superior Court on his client's behalf.
"Mr. Ryan's decision was to accept the consequences of his actions and authorize me to enter a plea [of guilty] today," said Ryan's attorney, Todd Landgren, who filed a motion Sept. 18 to ensure Ryan's rights weren't violated when he was arrested or booked.
The district attorney's office in spring charged the City Council candidate, who failed to win election to the City Council on Nov. 7, with driving under the influence, according to court records.
Ryan first appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to both charges May 2 before changing his plea Thursday after four postponements.
The DUI charge was dropped in exchange for Ryan's guilty plea. He was sentenced to pay a fine of about $2,000 and attend an alcohol program for first-offenders.
He also voluntarily donated $750 to the Victim Witness Emergency Fund, Landgren said.
Ryan was charged with driving with a 0.20 BAC level — more than double the .08 legal limit — according to the D.A.'s criminal complaint. He was released on $10,000 bail.
Ryan finished eighth out of 12 candidates with 7.4% of the vote. The top three candidates elected were Jill Hardy, Jim Katapodis and Dave Sullivan.
Ryan was not available for comment.

Nothing against the U.S. Open of Surfing, which reflects how big surfing has become on a financial level for both sponsors and the pro surfers, but if you want to go to a surfing contest and actually see some world-class surfing without sharing your view with a couple hundred thousand of your best friends, you're in luck.
The American Pro Surfing Series is a three-event series, with all three contests being held on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier. The first event was held back in April, and event No. 2 will take place Friday and Saturday.
"I've been judging and working events for more than 25 years," said Scott Waring, a surfing industry veteran and frontman for the APSS. "And I'm thrilled to be putting this event together. The APSS is a great opportunity for young pros and amateurs to compete in their own country, have some fun and display some progressive surfing.
"I expect to see a big turnout of talented amateurs, young pros and proven legends all mixing it up in surfing's version of Times Square, Huntington Beach. We'll be displaying a live webcast so if you can't come down to the beach, you can catch all the action from your home."
Indeed, some of the best local surfers and some not-so-local are competing. But there is one rule — nobody from the Assn. of Surfing Professionals is allowed. Sorry Kelly Slater.
The inaugural event in April saw San Clemente's Chris Ward take home the $5,000 first-place check, beating out second-place Torrey Meister (San Diego) and third-place Kilian Garland (Santa Barbara). Newport Beach's Erica Hosseini won $1,000 in winning the women's division, and she was followed by 12-year-old Meah Collins (Costa Mesa) and Anastasia Ashley (Malibu).
Other surfers expected to compete this weekend include Chris Waring (Seal Beach), Cory Arrambide (Ventura), Kalani Robb (San Clemente), Colin Moran (Costa Mesa), Teddy Navarro (Huntington Beach), Matt Pagan (Hermosa Beach) and Brad Ettinger (Huntington Beach) on the men's side, and former world champ Lisa Andersen on the women's side.
The contest format is a 64-man men's field and a 16-woman women's field with both divisions surfing four-person heats with 50% elimination.
"I think the APSS is a great event," Hosseini said. "It gives a chance for non-ASP surfers to come in and compete, and obviously, being from Newport I would not, not compete in it. Next town over and yeah, it's always good to stay on your toes and compete and have more events in California."
But as everybody knows, the best surfing events in the world are only as good as the waves. And it looks like Mother Nature will cooperate this weekend. This is what Adam Wright from Solspot.com, the official event forecaster, is saying about the waves on Friday and Saturday:
"You can't really get a much better mix of swells for the H.B. Pier. We already have S-SSW swell on the way that will be mixing with some medium-period WNW-NW energy from a waking North Pacific storm track that will work to set up peaky conditions. If that wasn't enough, 'Major' Hurricane Miriam is just starting to move into the North Orange County SE swell window and she will likely be adding additional tropical SE swell to the blend."
The competition gets underway at 8 a.m. Friday with the men's Round of 64, followed at 1:30 p.m. with the men's Round of 32. Saturday's action begins at 9 a.m. with the women's Round of 16 and surfing will continue throughout the day, concluding with the women's final at 2 p.m. and the men's final at 2:30 p.m.
If you can't make it out Friday or Saturday, you can follow the action on a live webcast at http://www.americanprosurfingseries.com. The APSS's third event will be held Oct. 31-Nov. 7.
Just when you thought it was safe to write off Slater in the race for the title of world champion, the old man did it again.
Slater won the Hurley Pro at Trestles, the sixth event in the 10-event ASP World Championship Tour last week.
It was the 50th ASP WCT event win for the 40-year-old Slater, who beat Aussie Joel Parkinson in the final heat.
The victory moved Slater up one spot from fourth place in the WCT rankings to third, trailing leader Mick Fanning, who placed equal-third at Trestles, and Parkinson, who is second overall.
It was a huge victory for Slater in a quest for a 12th world title since there are just four events remaining, the next two in France and Portugal.
"I knew that heat would either make or break me for the year," Slater said. "I would have let Parko have those extra 2,000 points if he'd won and it would look very different on the ratings.
"It's nice heading into Europe. I feel like I've had so many good years at Lowers and the pressure is really on every year to make the final — I feel like it's been like that since I've been on tour. It's cool to win the 50th here. I won my first event as a pro here and it's great to get this win."

My first Vermont Sourdough
Before I joined this site, I didn't realize how behind the curve I was as I had never made a Vermont Sourdough. I decided to get with it and make one today. I have been schooled by the many wonderful bakers on this site and encouraged to try, so I did. I used David's Hamelman's recipe, but altered it a bit by adding a bit more rye. I was finishing a bag of bread flour and didn't have quite enough, and I thought the additional rye would add some nice flavor. Lately, I have been making lots of David's recipes, but the next one I would like to make is one of Khalid's....looking forward to trying that.
I was so impressed with this dough throughout the process. It proofed beautifully, the oven spring was really terrific, and the crumb was nice.
I am sure I will make some variations of this in the future. I followed the recipe pretty closely, but probably added a tad more water than called for in the recipe.
Here is the recipe I used (I made two changes to the original recipe, which I noted):
Vermont Sourdough with Increased Whole Grain, from Hamelman's "Bread"
By dmsnyder
Bread flour
1 lb 11.2 oz.
Whole Rye
4.8 oz
1 lb 4.8oz
.6 oz
3 lbs 5.4 oz
Bread flour
6.4 oz
8 oz
Mature culture (liquid)
1.3 oz
15.7 oz.
Bread flour (I used 1.55)
1lb 8 oz
Whole Rye (I used 6.8)
4.8 oz
12.8 oz
Liquid levain
14.4 oz
(all less 3 T)
.6 oz
3 lbs 5.4 oz
- The night before mixing the final dough, feed the liquid levain as above. Ferment at room temperature overnight.
- Mix the final dough. Place all ingredients except the salt in the bowl and mix to a shaggy mass.
- Cover the bowl and autolyse for 20-60 minutes.
- Sprinkle the salt over the dough and mix using the paddle of a stand mixer for 2 minutes at Speed 1. Add small amounts of water or flour as needed to achieve a medium consistency dough.
- Switch to the dough hook and mix at Speed 2 for 6-8 minutes. There should be a coarse window pane.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and ferment for 2.5 hours with one stretch and fold at 1.25 hours.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and form into rounds. Place seam side up on the board.
- Cover with plastic and allow the dough to rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Form into boules or bâtards and place in bannetons or en couch. Cover well with plasti-crap or place in food safe plastic bags.
- Refrigerate for 12-18 hours.
- The next day, remove the loaves from the refrigerator.
- Pre-heat the oven at 500ºF with a baking stone and steaming apparatus in place.
- After 45-60 minutes, pre-steam the oven. Transfer the loaves to a peel. Score them.
- Load the loaves onto the stone and pour ½ cup boiling water into the steaming apparatus. Turn the oven down to 460ºF.
- After 15 minutes, if you have a convection oven, turn it to convection bake at 435ºF. If you don't, leave the oven at 460ºF. Bake for another 25 minutes.
- Remove the loaves to a cooling rack.
- Cool completely before slicing.

Where are the Local's plans for the future?
At the end of a long CHCA meeting, the budget for the Local and the CHCA was brought up. Forgive that "long CHCA meeting" reference for being tautologically abusive. In the last election, less than 200 votes were counted for the CHCA board. More people voted for who would be the treasurer of the Chestnut Hill Bocce Club than our elected representatives in 19118. That is about half the number of dimples on a golf ball. Lots of big things are at stake though.
Chestnut Hill is unique, but for how long? In Chestnut Hill we have a vibrant weekly newspaper. The CHCA, of course, owns the Local; 19118 owns the CHCA. What are we doing about it? Nowhere in the budget discussions has the elephant in the room been discussed. Where is the online growth? Who is protecting the Local for the future?
The last owner of "Fred's Buggy Whips" might have made an excellent product, but unless it was looking to automobiles, the math is obvious. Henry Ford was rightly obsessed with cars and not fast horses.
We all enjoy the print product the Local produces. If you are a fan of the Internet or Facebook you can also see how the Local is more than a once-a-week treat, as it makes a daily impact in Chestnut Hill via its online operation. The editorial model is there, where is the business model?
Forbes shares the lay of the land across the country:
"Online Will Pass Print for First Time in 2012: US online advertising spending, which grew 23 percent to $32.03 billion in 2011, is expected to grow an additional 23.3 percent to $39.5 billion this year-pushing it ahead of total spending on print newspapers and magazines, according to eMarketer. Print advertising spending is expected to fall to $33.8 billion in 2012 from $36 billion in 2011."
What about the future of the paper? The Local has no plans for online revenue growth, and no one seems to mind. Does fiduciary oversight mandate a wilful state of oblivion to all publishing realities?
For a decade we have seen print decline in revenue and circulation while for the same decade online readership and advertising grows by double digits year over year. This is not that hard. Print is down, online is skyrocketing – what does one do with these simple facts?
For almost two years, the Local said online growth was essential. It is. The Local said that it should grow revenue. It said it could grow revenue, it said it would grow revenue. OK. When – at long last? U.S. newspaper circulation is at the lowest point in seven decades. The Local is keeping pace with that trend. How about the double digit growth in revenue exploding all around 19118 but untapped here? That is a trend worth engaging.

The quitters, the practicals, and the old
The editor took the heavy lift two weeks ago with two lead articles plus the editorial, and they are related.
A new business, Rita's Water Ice, "pulled the plug," choosing not to fight the uphill battle to be part of our neighborhood because it wasn't worth the fight against one foe who was admittedly "the only person within 750 feet who could challenge Rita's." This was despite the endorsement of the CHCA.
A new business, Children of America, is still coming to Chestnut Hill as a matter of right without the endorsement of the CHCA. Yet the editorial ["For businesses, being a good neighbor is not necessarily a prerequisite"] suggests it does not intend to be a "good neighbor" because it did not voluntarily spend money for a traffic study that was not required.
An old business, Diane Bryman, is lauded for 50 years of presence on the Avenue. The namesake moved on to a new life and name while the successor enjoyed 35 years of employment and 20 years at the helm. Unless he wants to change his business plan, it might be a good time to retire.
I'm sorry to hear that Rita's wimped out. Even the owner said he would have won, but the community's endorsement was apparently not enough to deter a self-proclaimed bully.
Thank goodness that Children of America had the good sense to not play in the sandbox with the CHCA. They should not be accused of being unconcerned with their need to be good neighbors.
As to Diane Bryman, the founder has moved on and so will the current proprietor. There appears to be little interest in 75 year-old-rugs. Even at 40 percent off, these purchases are not in the impulse aisle.
The rug store is not worthy of our tears, except as another vacant storefront. Will the (hopefully) new tenant have to beg for the endorsement of the CHCA and will that be enough to satisfy its competitors?

Thanks to the deer protestors
Philadelphia Advocates for the Deer (PAD) has been present in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood, both in the shopping district and in Fairmount Park, holding protests since January 2012.
Every month, two to three protests were held to collect signatures for our petition to the Commission on Parks and Recreation, asking for a meeting to discuss humane alternatives for the deer and to stop the killing. We also distributed literature about the 13 consecutive years of deer being killed in the Wissahickon Park and humane alternatives for the deer.
In addition we gave out literature about safe fencing for the deer to decrease the numerous incidents of deer being maimed or killed when jumping over fences that have metal or wooden spikes along the top, or spaces under fences where they can get caught and hurt.
PAD wants to thank the many people who stopped to sign our petition and to talk about their opinions about the deer killing.
Many neighbors were unaware and angry that deer were being killed in our neighborhood without their knowledge. PAD would also like to thank the Chestnut Hill Local for publicizing our protests and Letters to the Editor that were published about issues related to the deer.
PAD will continue working on the important issue of saving the deer of Fairmount Park, including the Wissahickon.
Chestnut Hill residents have the opportunity to work together to stop the 14th year of killing deer in the park. Please contact me if you would like to be involved.

Out Of Home Media needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 10 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
We want two images [created in the corel draw .cdr file format] that can show our supplier EXACTLY what we want them to produce for us.
Guiness and Evian
We are a company specialising in outdoor advertising and currently we are trying to get our suppliers to make us up some replica products.
We work mainly in inflatables and because our suppliers are in China they need EXACT designs on what we want produced, instead of just photos, so that they can print out the images as we like them directly onto the PVC\mix material and thus make a better product.
They did provide us with an example which can be forwarded to any email address if desired.
Now the two products we want to use first to display our diversity is a Guinness Can and a Evian Bottle. Both are iconic, both have VERY unique designs and both would look very appealing through the inflatable advertising medium.
- Item 1...The Guinness Can must be the colour and shape of the image shown at-
But must only show on it's front, with copies of the badge image at-
The Can must also have measurement displayed around it for the designers to work from, the height of the can should be 120cm, the diametor should be 45cm, the height of the badge should be 60cm and the width also 60cm. Take special care to replicate ALL aspects of the badge, the symbol, words, numbers and their positions. Finally the back of the Can should also show two ring ties for securing the inflatables that are placed 20cm below the top of the can, directly behind the centre of the badge and are spaced 10cm apart.
Item 2-
The Evian Bottle must be the style and design, like seen at-
Take special care to replicate the shape of the bottle, it's transparentcy and style. The logo can be seen in more detail at-
The bottle should be 120cm high, 32cm wide, with the badge being 32cm tall by 32cm wide and placed between 10cm to 42cm from the base of the bottle. The ring ties should be placed in the same place again, aronud 20cm from the top, directly behind the badge and spaced 10cm apart.
Looking forward to see what you can do.

I NEED HELP!!! My son wants nothing but junk food and its making me sick. I have tried all of kinds things and he just doesnt eat. He is already underweight and I am very frustrated because I dont want him to continue on this pattern.
Getting kids to eat healthfully, including fruits and vegetables can sometimes be a challenge. The first step is to limit the how available the 'junk' foods are in the home. Offer healthy foods, including fruits and vegetables at meals and snacks, and encourage tasting. Keep in mind that it can take up to 10 tries before a child will get used to a new food. Try serving a new food with other familiar foods that he likes. Set a good example – if your child sees that the rest of the family (especially parents) are eating healthfully, he may be more likely to do so as well. Try letting him decide which fruits and vegetables he would like to eat (not if he is going to eat them). Take him along on your next trip to the grocery store and have him pick one vegetable or fruit he would like to try. Involving him in the preparation of a meal or snack also may get him interested. It could be as simple as chopping something or as complex as trying a new recipe. Some great suggestions and activities for getting kids involved are here on this site. See what other mothers suggest in our Mom2Mom section. If your son is losing weight, it is important that you consult your pediatrician. A registered dietitian can also help you with age-specific eating issues. Your pediatrician may be able to refer you, or you can locate one in your area at http://www.eatright.org/.

It went up in September. It was supposed to be a one-month run, until October. It's still up, and it's almost November.
Maybe because the billboard company can't find another business that wants a sign that includes goal posts.
A promotional campaign that led to Fox buying four billboards around the country — including one for Southern California, located north of the 405 at Hawthorne Blvd., in Lawndale — stands out for uniquiness in that you just don't see larger-than-life yellow end-zone posts with flags on the top sticking out and around a freeway-side ad.
"Or billboard with actual pads around the goalposts below," noted Eric Markgraf, the executive VP of Fox Sports Marketing Group.
Markgraf said doing this "mixed media" campaign was to stand out from the other new wave of digital billboards that need to be updated daily to make them relevant.
Billboards like this one were also put up to promote the "NFL on Fox" pregame show in New York, Philadelphia and Dallas. In each of those cities, the pad around the post matched up with the local teams — Giants (not Jets), Eagles and Cowboys. It's also an NFC thing, since that's the Fox conference of choice.
"It's really the first time we've seen anything like it," said Markgraf, who worked with a company called New And Improved Media to do the buying and production. "In New York, we put it near the Holland Tunnel, and we were worried that someone might want to vandalize it. But we've had nothing but great feedback from it. People have noticed them.
Especially with the flags on the top. Very simplistic, not flashy."
Now that Fox has only paid for a month's worth of exposure, it'll be interesting to see how much they stay up — based on the fact they probably can't be easily taken down.
Remember back in the summer of '07, when we drove around the city snapping our favorite sports-related billboards … maybe we gotta revive that one soon.

BioShock Infinite's Final Cover Chosen
You voted, and Irrational has unveiled the final results for what the complete cover for BioShock Infinite will look like.
While the reversible inside cover is nice, and definitely a design you wouldn't typically see on a AAA title on any given store shelf, it's not my favorite of the six designs. It's an upgrade over the standard cover, though it still would have been nice to see one of the designs featuring Elizabeth prominently make the cut.
What do you think of the final covers? Which one will you use for your copy of BioShock Infinite?

Last week's article on the California Energy Commission's 2013 Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) identified how climate changes impact energy needs and create new challenges for the state of California's electricity, natural gas, and transportation fuel sectors. Heat and precipitation are two of the major climate changes that have outsized impacts on the state's energy sector. That should influence the ongoing design and deployment of Smart Grid technologies and policies. For one thing, harkening back to my ten Smart Grid and Smart City predictions for 2020, infrastructure like a grid or a community can't be called smart if it lacks resiliency. Climate changes will require that we create more resilient critical infrastructures – whether it is in the design and management of energy and water, or the policies that determine the quality of responsiveness by governmental agencies to meet their citizens' needs in times of disruption.
How can the Smart Grid address these challenges and threats? Here are five suggestions.
1) A Smart Grid delivers grid resiliency by putting more reliance on distributed generation (DG). A comprehensive DG strategy locates generation assets close to demand. This strategy also reduces reliance on vulnerable transmission lines that might fry in the next wild fire conflagration. California already has a good start on DG with the rapid growth of rooftop solar. Technology and financial innovations are in place to enable continued growth. Policy innovations should look at defining clear benefits for utilities to encourage investments in generation sited at the distribution grid level and the technologies to manage diverse assets; and encourage partnerships with third parties that can assist in accelerating DG deployments.
2) Deploy applicable monitoring and telemetry technologies for leak detection to the aging water infrastructure, which is in dismaying disrepair and suspected to be leaking like a sieve. The emphasis is on the word suspected – lacking reliable data or visibility into pipeline health means that everyone is offering educated guesses about the overall infrastructural integrity of our water systems. This activity won't create more water, but it will help the state and communities manage existing water supplies with intelligence that is lacking today. Smart water management can deliver situational awareness about operations and create proactive rather than reactive policies and plans – similar to the benefits the Smart Grid delivers to the electricity infrastructure. And let's acknowledge that energy/water nexus. When we save water, we save electricity.
3) Deploy water meters across the state, which contains a surprising number of communities that don't have water meters. Just like we've demonstrated with smart meters for electricity, simple awareness of water consumption can reduce usage.
4) Study the possibilities of instituting Time of Use rates for water that are tied to energy use. Using water during times of peak electricity demand simply increases overall electricity needs. Timing water consumption to off-peak times saves electricity. 5) Rationalize the varying municipal and county codes about water consumption, conservation, and gray water use. A Sierra Club volunteer effort highlighted great disparities in permit fees for rooftop solar across Silicon Valley communities, resulting in state legislation that set limits on those fees, and created standards for fee computations. State officials need to similarly understand the difficulties that our extremely fragmented water utility sector has in putting together programs that must accommodate multiple jurisdictions. There's plenty of process friction that could be reduced or eliminated through such rationalizations.
We can't stop human-caused climate change, but we can mitigate its worst effects by continuing Smart Grid solution deployments in the electrical grid and applying these solutions in the water grid. We have no choice but to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Smart Grid technologies and policies can certainly help accelerate economic and societal adaptations as well as support creative mitigation strategies.

Saab was founded as an aerospace and defense company in 1937. In fact, the Saab name actually stands for "Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget," or Svenska Aircraft Company in English. The company began making automobiles in 1949. Utilizing its expertise in designing aircraft, Saab's early vehicles emphasized aerodynamics.
Saab Original Models
The first production vehicle, the Saab 92, featured a lower drag coefficient than many modern cars at the time. The 92 was followed by the three-cylinder 9-3, which was unveiled in 1955. The 9-3 was the first Saab model to feature the unique and distinctive fastback profile. By the end of the decade, Saab introduced the 9-5 wagon and the 9-3 750 Gran Turismo, its first ever sport model.
Starting in 1960, the Saab 9-6 enjoyed a 20-year production run and helped the company establish itself on the international automobile market.
Saab Through The Years
As a brand, Saab didn't really gain popularity in the United States until the 1980s. During this period, the Saab Turbo models became particularly popular with the new set of the young urban professionals who were busy flexing their consumer muscle. The Saab 900 Turbo and the Saab 900 Turbo Aero were particularly popular at the time, as was the convertible version.
American automobile giant General Motors acquired half of Saab's automotive division in 1990. GM helped the company launch a revised version of the 900 that included new safety features. During the 1990s, Saab also released the 9-5, a premium four-door sedan.
In the first decade of the new Millennium, GM acquired the rest of Saab's automotive division. However, ironically during this period, Saab's popularity in the U.S. began to decline. In an effort to appeal more to the American public, the company introduced a sedan version of the 9-3, which didn't feature the distinctive hatchback profile Saab was so closely associated with. Unfortunately, rather than appeal more to American drivers, the new model 9-3 instead became just another anonymous upscale model issued by GM.
GM was eventually forced to sell Saab off during the automotive industry collapse of 2008 and 2009. The company was acquired by Dutch automaker Swedish Automobile NV (SWAN) and is currently in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings.
Saab Models
The Saab 9-5 is a four-door executive car model, first introduced in 1997 to replace the popular Saab 9000. The 9-5 is relatively affordable as far as midsize luxury sedans go. It's also available in a variety of different trim levels. The most recent generation of the 9-5 was the first vehicle issued by the company following Saab's takeover by SWAN.
The 9-3 was a compact version of the 9-5. It was first issued in 1998 and remained in production until 2011. As an entry-level luxury car, the 9-3 has a lot to offer. It's spacious, comfortable, has good safety features, and comes in multiple body styles.
The 9-4X is a midsize crossover SUV introduced in 2011. It's very similar to the latest generation of the 9-5 on the inside. While the 9-4X is indeed stylish and luxurious, it's pretty slow for a vehicle in its class and the price may be daunting to many potential buyers.
Although it was technically a Saab in name, the 9-7X could perhaps be regarded as an American vehicle in Swedish clothing. While the 9-7X was adorned with Saab's signature grill and badging, the midsize SUV was closely based on GM's midsize SUV platform. It may be unfair to write the 9-7X off as a second rate imposter, but its strange alchemy of American design and Swedish accents never quite added up. After only four years in production, it was discontinued in 2009.
Future of Saab
Though the Saab brand is currently languishing in limbo, it would be unfair to blame the quality of the vehicles the company produced over the years. The Saab brand was one of the last European cars to catch on with American drivers. Sadly, America's love affair with the quirky Swedish luxury brand ended all too quickly.
But while the future production of Saab vehicles is up in the air, used Saabs remain viable options for anyone looking for a good deal on a stylish European luxury car. During its run as an automaker, Saab garnered a well-deserved reputation for safety and innovation.
Saab 900
1998-1995 | Convertible, Coupe, Hatchback, Luxury
Saab's automotive history can be traced back to its aircraft-inspired roots.
Saab 9000
1998-1995 | Hatchback, Luxury, Sedan
The Saab 9000 comes in two distinct body styles, depending on the model year.
Saab 9-2X
2006-2005 | Compact, Sedan, Wagon
The Saab 9-2X had a short production life.
Saab 9-3
2011-1999 | Convertible, Hatchback, Luxury, Sedan, Wagon
In 1998, Saab renamed the 900 series to the 9-3 for the 1999 model year to be in line with the larger renamed 9-5.
Saab 9-3 Griffin
2012 | Convertible, Luxury, Sedan, Wagon
While many famous automakers in the U.S.
Saab 9-3X
2011-2010 | Luxury, Wagon
The Saab 9-3X is a crossover version of the Saab 9-3 entry-level luxury cars manufactured by the Sweden-based automaker.
Saab 9-3X Griffin
2012 | Luxury, Wagon
Essentially a repackaged version of the Saab 900 series second generation vehicles from 1994 to 1998, the Saab 9-3 line was a compact executive car initially produced in 1998.
Saab 9-4X
2011 | SUV, Utility/Offroad
The Saab 9-4X has barely been around long enough to be known for much.
Saab 9-5
2011-1999 | Luxury, Sedan, Wagon
The most recent models of the Saab 9-5 enjoy incredible popularity with Saab fans and those who appreciate General Motors offers for the model.
Saab 9-7x
2009-2005 | SUV, Utility/Offroad
The Saab 9-7x was the first sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by Saab.

Hello and welcome back!
Before sharing the events of my week with you, I'd like to take a moment to call your attention to the Archdiocese's third annual dinner in Celebration of the Priesthood that will take place at the Seaport World Trade Center this coming Thursday, September 22.
This important event raises critical funds for the trusts that support our priests' medical needs and retirement for the almost 250 senior priests, most of who continue to assist in parishes, schools and other Archdiocesan agencies.
Please join me in attending this celebration or, if you are unable to attend, consider a gift to the Clergy Funds in honor of the priests who have made a difference in you and your family's lives. More information is available at www.celebrationofthepriesthood.org. On behalf of my brother priests who serve in this Archdiocese, thank you for your support and generosity.

I was very pleased to be able to participate in Archbishop Charles Chaput's installation as the new Archbishop of Philadelphia last Wednesday.
The ceremony was very beautiful, and the archbishop gave a very moving homily on what it means to be a bishop. We pray for him, that the Lord will guide him and bless him and allow him to bring healing to the Church in Philadelphia.
As I've mentioned before, Archbishop Charles and I are classmates. We studied four years together in college, at the Capuchin novitiate and also for four years of theology. We're very proud of him and very enthused that the Holy Father has given him this responsibility.
The cathedral in Philadelphia is very beautiful and full of history. The archdiocese was founded at the same time that Boston was, just over 200 years ago. One of their former bishops was, of course, St. John Neumann. St. Katharine Drexel is also from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
It is a church that has such a glorious history and we know that is has a glorious future as well.
– – –
From Philadelphia I travelled to Rome for a worldwide meeting of Capuchin bishops.
Father Bob Oliver was with me and we arrived on Saturday. We had some meetings but in the afternoon, I wanted to visit the Basilica di San Bartolomeo all'Isola (the Basilica of St. Bartholomew on the Island). As the name implies, it is located on an island in the Tiber River.
It's an old church that the Franciscans had for about 500 years, and recently it was entrusted to the Community of Sant'Egidio.
The church has very important relics in it, including the body of St. Bartholomew the Apostle and the relics of St. Adalbert, who was Bishop of Prague and is one of the patrons of Poland.
The tomb of St. Bartholomew
When Blessed Pope John Paul II entrusted the church to the Sant'Egidio community, it was so that they could make a special shrine to the modern martyrs. And so each of the lateral altars is dedicated to a different group of martyrs: from Latin America, Mexico and Spain to the Nazi era, the Communist era, and Asia. It is a very moving experience to visit there and reflect on modern martyrs in the Church.
The altar with relics of Spain and Mexico
Africa and Madagascar
The Americas
Asia, Oceania and the Mideast
Nearby there is a waterfall. I had never seen a waterfall in the Tiber, so I wanted to share a photo of it with you.

On Monday, I came to San Giovanni Rotondo where we were meeting with almost 70 Capuchin Bishops from throughout the world. This is only the second time we've met as a group. We met in the year 2000 in Assisi and our Father General called us together now for this meeting in San Giovanni Rotondo.
I had the keynote address on the Capuchin identity in the episcopacy.
Then we visited a very old shrine dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, which was initiated in the 4th century.
This shrine was one of the great pilgrimage sites in the Middle Ages. Pilgrims would try to go to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, Rome, the Shrine to the Archangel, and then on to the Holy Land.
– – –
On Tuesday, we had Mass at the tomb of St. Padre Pio.
This was the altar at which Padre Pio celebrated the Mass each day during the two years he was not allowed to minister publicly
The following day, we were given a chance to go back to appreciate the mosaics in the chapel.
The artwork in the crypt is by the famous Jesuit artist Father Marko Rupnik, who decorated the Redemptoris Mater chapel in the Vatican.
Padre Pio's tomb is behind the altar, in a sort of a rounded area a slit in the wall, so you can look through and see the coffin.
During the trip, I was also able to have dinner with one of our auxiliary bishops, Bishop Arthur Kennedy— who is in Rome taking the course for new bishops that's organized by the Holy See. He and Bishop Chris Coyne — a priest from our Boston Archdiocese who is now an auxiliary bishop in the Archbishop of Indianpolis — are part of that group.
Until next week,
Cardinal Seán

DownBeat Features Jazz Trumpeter Pharez Whitted '82
April 21, 2013
"Music has the power to help mellow out some screwed-up philosophies," says trumpeter Pharez Whitted. The 1982 DePauw University tells DownBeat, "I'd like my music to speak to that. Believe in something -- hope. I don't want to preach; I just want to help."
Featured in the magazine's "Players" section, Whitted discusses his new album, For The People, and his roots.
"Growing up in Indianapolis. Whitted received considerable help from his musical family," writes Aaron Cohen. "His father played drums and his mother was a bassist. His uncle, trombonist Slide Hampton, drilled him with long practice sessions ... After Whitted graduated from DePauw University, he worked on his master's degree with David Baker at Indiana University. Whitted began teaching at the Ohio State University in 1992 and nine years later moved to Chicago State University, where he currently directs the jazz program."
Of his compositions, Whitted tells DownBeat, "Everything is based on melody and groove and whether it speaks to me. If I can sit up, feel it, have it absorbing me, and I don't want to turn it off, it may have a shot."
The May issue is on newsstands now. You may also visit the magazine's website.
At DePauw, Pharez Whitted was a music major and played football. He has performed with such notables as Nancy Wilson, Freddie Hubbard, Slide Hampton, Clark Terry, Branford Marsalis, Johnny Griffin, David "Fathead" Newman, George Duke, John Mellencamp, Patti Austin, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Ari Brown and Ramsey Lewis. Read more in this previous summary.
In January, the Chicago Tribune's Howard Reich wrote, "Chicago trumpeter Pharez Whitted owns a richly deserved reputation as a powerhouse soloist with decibels to burn."Back
