text: Paul Scarlata - December 09, 2014 STI Nitro 10mm 1911 Review As with most things mechanical, despite the 1911's sterling reputation, down through the years there have been those who have tried to "improve" it even more. Case in point: In 1992 Virgil Tripp and Sandy Strayer formed a company named STI International to market a high-capacity 1911 pistol that used a modular frame made from fiber-reinforced plastic. This plastic portion combined the trigger guard, grip and integral magazine well, and it was attached to the upper portion of the frame — a metal part that comprised the dust cover and frame rails.Known as the 2011, this frame weighed less than half of a steel frame and was narrower than other high-capacity 1911s, making it easier for persons with smaller hands to shoot. Today STI's 2011 pistols dominate USPSA/IPSC's Open and Limited divisions.Located in Georgetown, Texas, STI offers one of the most complete lines of 1911 pistols. A quick perusal of its website shows pistols suitable for military/police service, concealed carry, personal defense, hunting and competitive shooting. In addition to its stock models, the company will also build a pistol to a customer's specifications.While best known for the 2011, it offers a series of full-size, compact and sub-compact metal-frame 1911s for more traditionally minded buyers. The gun that most interested me was the company's new Nitro 10. As you probably guessed, the Nitro 10 is chambered for the 10mm Auto cartridge. The cartridge's story begins in the late 1970s when U.S. police forces were switching en masse from the traditional .38/.357 revolver to the new breed of 9mm semiauto pistols. This change was accompanied by much acrimonious debate between partisans of the 9mm Luger and the "bigger bullets are better bullets" crowd. Against this backdrop, a gentleman by the name of Whit Collins determined that what was needed was a cartridge with a flatter trajectory and greater range than the .45 ACP but with more stopping power than the 9mm Luger. He envisioned a cartridge that propelled a 200-grain bullet to about 1,000 fps, which provided the desired ballistics and had the added advantage of permitting more rounds to be loaded in the pistol's magazine.Collins approached Col. Jeff Cooper, who lent his support to the idea and worked on the design with other developers — eventually resulting in the Bren Ten and a cartridge dubbed the 10mm Auto. However, the resulting cartridge — initially loaded by Norma — was hotter than what Cooper had envisioned. The first loads included a 170-grain jacketed hollowpoint at 1,300 fps and a 200-grain full metal jacket at 1,200, and even today some commercial loadings produce levels of energy that approach those of the .41 Magnum.Over the years a number of companies have produced pistols chambered for the 10mm. The FBI adopted it for a short time, and some U.S. police departments use 10mm pistols. The government of Denmark issues them to personnel of the Sirius Sledge Patrol in northeast Greenland for defense against polar bears the unit encounters during its patrols.STI introduced its first 10mm pistol, the Perfect 10, in 2009. Built on the 2011 modular frame, it was a long-slide design with a six-inch barrel and a high-capacity (14+1), double-column magazine. Originally designed for tactical units that desired a pistol with more authority than a .45, it also found favor with handgun hunters and wilderness guides for protection against bears. But as STI's Rabbit Boyette explained to me, while the Perfect 10 attracted a fair amount of interest, there were a number of less than positive comments with regard to its length and weight compared to a traditional 1911. It didn't take STI long to realize that when "traditional" and "1911" are mentioned in the same sentence it can mean only one thing: a Government model with a single-stack magazine. The result is the Nitro 10.With a length of 8.77 inches and an unloaded weight of 38.9 ounces, the Nitro 10 looks and feels like a regular 1911. But upon closer examination it becomes obvious that this is no regular handgun.It goes without saying that a heavy-duty recoil spring — in this case 26 pounds — is a necessity in a pistol chambered for the powerful 10mm round. But for most people, a spring that heavy can make retracting the slide a daunting task. That led STI to design a new serration design. The Nitro fore and aft cocking serrations are more like notches that are long and wide with just a few sharply cut ridges; there are two such cuts in the front and three in the back. "We designed the Nitro to have a bold look to match the power of the 10mm," STI Engineering and R&D Manager Chris Schirmer told Handguns. "These serrations do just that, as well as provide ample grip to match the powerful spring."In keeping with its combat heritage, the slide is cut to accept a square, serrated blade front and a non-adjustable Heinie Ledge rear sight. The latter has a generous square notch for fast sight alignment; the ledge is designed so that in case the support hand is occupied or disabled the shooter can retract the slide by catching the sight on a belt, holster or other object and pushing down.A lowered and flared ejection port ensures that spent cases get out of the way reliably. The frame and slide are hand-fitted to close tolerances, and the fitting results in consistent lockup.The pistol has a full-length recoil spring guide rod for smooth functioning. A fully supported, ramped, bushingless, match-grade bull barrel not only provides accuracy but also puts additional weight up front where it does the most good to dampen recoil.Both the slide and the frame are carbon steel and finished in matte blue. The natural handling qualities of the 1911 are improved by removal of metal underneath the trigger guard, allowing a high grip that also helps in recoil control. A high-ride beavertail grip safety helps to position the pistol in the shooter's hand securely while distributing recoil for more comfortable shooting, and the edges of the magazine well are beveled for smooth reloads.The frontstrap and mainspring housing don't exhibit the serrations you typically find on a 1911 but rather three vertical cuts. It's a distinctive design, and when you look at the styling cues on the rest of the gun, the cuts fit in with the overall aesthetics a lot better than, say, 30 lpi checkering would have. And as Schirmer pointed out, the three cuts provide good control, especially in combination with the high-rise grip safety and undercut trigger guard that place your hand high on the gun. My testing confirmed that.I received an early production Nitro 10 for testing. Over the years I have tested and competed with a number of STI pistols and have developed a high opinion of them, and the Nitro 10 was not a disappointment.The quality of materials, fit and finish were all first class. The slide goes into battery with a solid "clack," a good indication of its tight tolerances, and the single-action trigger had a short, crisp let-off. According to my RCBS trigger pull scale, it broke at just less than four pounds, which I feel is just right for a pistol intended for combat purposes.To see how STI's new 10mm performed, I gathered a sampling of ammo from Remington, Hornady and Federal and headed to the range. As I touched off the first round, my photographer was taken aback by the recoil and muzzle flash. Even though the pistol's weight helped ameliorate the effects of recoil to a degree, firing 75 rounds of 10mm from a rest over a period of 30 minutes required a fair amount of determination — if not dogged stubbornness.As I had expected, the Nitro 10 performed very well, producing a series of well-centered groups in the two-inch range, although a few measured nearer to 1.5 inches.Slipping on a Safariland 5198 paddle holster, I then ran the Nitro 10 pistol through several offhand combat drills from seven, 10 and 15 yards.Once again, recoil was, shall we say, impressive, reminding me of hot .357 Magnum loads. But I had no trouble putting rounds where I wanted them, with only a few wandering outside the A and B zones on a pair of USPSA targets.To see how the Nitro 10 performed at longer ranges, I engaged steel plate targets on the 50-yard backstop, firing the pistol both from a rest and offhand. While the majority of the shots fired from the rest produced satisfying clangs, I missed some of the first few from shots offhand.All in all, I liked the pistol. However, while the cocobolo grips were attractive, their smooth surface allowed the pistol to move around in my hands. I think a set of VZ G10 grips would improve handling to a marked degree.We asked STI why it chose those particular grips, and it turns out the cocobolo stocks were the result of a poll STI took of its customers — and a smart outfit always listens to its customers.I also believe that a fiber-optic front sight would be a great aid in fast sight alignment and target acquisition.Other than those two caveats, I feel that those looking for a semiauto pistol that fires a cartridge with magnum-like performance but in a slimmer package than a medium- or large-frame revolver may find that the Nitro 10 is just what they're looking for.The gun is undercut at the trigger guard, permitting a high grip, and the STI Long Curve trigger broke cleanly at four pounds. The rear sight is a Heinie Ledge, and the thumb safety is extended.The non-traditional forward cocking serrations give the pistol a unique look, but they're functional as well. The barrel is a ramped, bushing-less bull style that's fully supported.The three-line Nitro cuts on the rear of the mainspring housing (and the frontstrap) are echoed on the wood grips. The grip safety is an STI High-Ride with memory bump.While Scarlata liked the pistol overall, he thought the grips could stand to be more aggressive to aid in controlling such a powerful semiauto.

University of Novi Sad, Serbia
Title: If you are obese, you have dysfunctional adipose tissue and vitamin D deficiency? You have 3d?
Edita Stokić, MD, PhD, endocrinologist, Professor of Internal medicine-Endocrinology, employed in the Clinic of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders of the Clinical Centre of Vojvodina in Novi Sad, Serbia. In 2005, she was appointed as Chief of Department. She is currently the Vice President of Serbian Association for the Study of Obesity and Chairman of the Continuing Education Board (Society of Physicians of Vojvodina of the Medical Society of Serbia). She is also President of the Internal Medicine Section, and (2002-2004) President of Endocrinology Section within same Society. Edita Stokić is an author or co-author of 390 scientific articles, and publications on obesity, dyslipidemias and diabetes. She has also published monograph Obesity is treatable disease.
Prevalence of obesity, as a chronic disease characterized by an increase of fat mass to an extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, is increasing worldwide. In Serbia, obesity is one of the most important health problems with an incidence of 54% and the highest overall prevalence of overweight was observed in the area of Vojvodina (58%). Obesity, characterized by the enlarged size of fat mass, is associated with changes in adipose tissue function. Adipocytokines derived from adipocytes - leptin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), adiponectin and resistin - are involved in the pathogenesis of the cardiometabolic disturbances of obesity. Clinical and epidemiological studies indicate that vitamin D deficiency has been associated with cardiometabolic risk factors such as hypertension, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemias. In this context, our investigation showed a negative relationship between serum vitamin D levels and anthropometric indicators of obesity (BMI, WC and FAT %) and their activity is especially expressed in visceral fat depots. There was a negative correlation between vitamin D level and leptin and resistin while a positive association with adiponectin concentrations was found. After considering the linear dependence and trend between 25(OH)D level and leptin and resistin, we found that they are at inverse dependence: with higher vitamin D levels, leptin and resistin have a downward trend. Trend estimation showed that increase in vitamin D level is accompanied by intensive increase in adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory product of adipocytes. Since the dysfunctional adipose tissue is a trigger for cardiometabolic disturbances in obese, interventional trials are required to establish whether vitamin D supplementation could be a therapeutic option for improving adipose tissue function and thus prevent obesity-related comorbidities.

Must Be Nice Being Citigroup
Man, is Citigroup having a nice month, or what? Well, at least in America they are.
Just a day after announcing that they're going to be paying off their bailout loan with the federal government (I don't know why I've been refusing to use TARP, but bailout just sounds more like what it was) comes an announcement from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that Citigroup will benefit from a bunch of tax breaks.
Not that they don't need the money, but what a sweet deal this is. Citigroup is getting a multibillion-dollar tax break, based on some rules the IRS passed earlier this year to help out companies that received bailout money. In essence, they don't have to pay any taxes whatsoever because they were partially owned by the government for a long period of the year. The idea was that by not making these companies pay taxes, it would help the stock price stay competitive and shareholders wouldn't bail on them because of government intervention.
A spokesperson for the Treasury, Nayyera Haq, said :This rule was designed to stop corporate raiders from using loss corporations to evade taxes, and was never intended to address the unprecedented situation where the government owned shares in banks. And it was certainly not written to prevent the government from selling its shares for a profit."
Wells Fargo is getting this same deal, and more, because they also don't have to pay taxes on the acquisition last year of Wachovia; remember that deal?
Anyway, all wasn't good news, as the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority decided to sue Citigroup in England for money it pumped into the bank in trying to shore it up before it needed to be bailed out. They're claiming Citigroup fraudulently misrepresented their positive standing before it all came crashing down. Speculatively, there's a possibility that this could take a chunk out of the money Citigroup, was hoping to pay the government back with.

Rocket is a very quick-growing crop that is commonly used as a salad ingredient or blended into egg and cheese dishes. Rocket has a distinctive sharp, peppery flavour and is ready in a matter of weeks from planting. Ideal in pots and containers, it is also very easy to grow, making it ideal for beginner gardeners. Varieties include Annual Rocket and Perennial Rocket.
If you're a first-time gardener you may find it easier to grow from seedlings, rather than seeds, although seeds are a more economical option. Check seed packets or plant labels for individual planting instructions.
Refer to our Planting Calendar.
Like building a house a good foundation is the key to success in your garden. The better the soil, the better your plants will grow. If you are starting with an existing garden bed dig in organic matter like Tui Sheep Pellets and Tui Compost to your soil. Then you can add a layer of Tui Vegetable Mix. If planting in pots and containers, fill with Tui Vegetable Mix.
The best times to plant are early in the morning or late in the day, so the plants aren't exposed to the hot sun straight away. Always water plants well before and after planting.
Find a full sun, sheltered position to plant and space at least two hand spaces apart, to ensure the crops can fully mature and are not fighting for space, fertilise and water. If you planted rocket or a certain variety of salad green last year don't grow them in the same spot as pests and diseases can be lingering in the soil, read our Crop Rotation Guide here.
Planting in garden beds
• Water plants thoroughly before planting and allow to drain.
• Dig a hole, approximately twice the depth and width of the root ball of your plant.
• Partly fill the hole with Tui Vegetable Mix.
• Gently loosen the root ball of your plant and position the plant in the centre of the hole.
• Fill in with Tui Vegetable Mix.
• Press soil gently around the base of the plant.
• Water your plant well.
Planting in pots and containers
• Water plants thoroughly before potting and allow to drain.
• Partly fill your container with Tui Vegetable Mix.
• Gently loosen the root ball of your plant and position the plant in the container.
• Fill your container with Tui Vegetable Mix up to 3cm from the top.
• Tap the container gently on the ground to settle the mix.
• Press soil gently around the base of the plant.
• Water your plant well.
Feed your plants and they will feed you. Plants use nutrients from the soil as they grow, so replenishing the nutrients ensures your plants grow to their full potential. Select a fertiliser specially blended for your crop like Tui Vegetable Food. Feed rocket planted in pots and containers with Tui NovaTec Premium fertiliser. Well watered, well nourished veges will have a better chance of keeping insect pests and diseases at bay.
While your rocket are growing regularly apply a dose of Tui Organic Seaweed Plant Tonic to give them a welcome boost.
The weather, weeds, pest insects and diseases can all impact on the success of your garden. Coming into winter it is important to protect your plants from the colder weather with layers of mulch like Tui Mulch & Feed.
Keep your garden weed free.
Be vigilant and stop unwanted insects and diseases from ruining your plants. Don't put up the welcome sign to the munch bunch of slugs and snails. These pests love coming for dinner in autumn, apply Tui Quash slug & snail control every few weeks to protect your seedlings.

Open Letter #4: Belief in "Hell" Linked to Salvation?
Oct 12, 2007
I received some tracts today, along with a letter from a concerned Christian, saying,
"Please don't let anyone convince you that there isn't a real hell. That's why Jesus died. You need to get saved. Only by the blood of Jesus Christ can you avoid eternity in a burning hell. God bless."
My Answer:
I do believe in a real hell. More specifically, I believe in the sheol of the Old Testament and the hades of the New Testament.
I also believe in the valley of the son of hinnom in the Old Testament, as well as the gehenna of the New Testament.
For a full study of them, see my book, The Judgments of the Divine Law, where I spend an entire chapter on each of these concepts. Far from denying their reality or existence, I go to great lengths to define them from Scripture. So I won't repeat this material in this present letter.
I do find it interesting, however, that you would doubt my salvation, based upon whether or not I believe in a "real hell." Where in Scripture does it say that a person has to believe in hell in order to be saved? The last time I read Eph. 2:8, it still read, "For by grace you have been saved through faith." Not a word is said about being required to believe something about hell.
Is it not possible to have faith in God without having a belief in a "real hell" as you would define it? Can I not be saved if I believe that "hell" is the grave? Is that a pre-requisite for salvation? If that is the case, then you have contradicted yourself by saying, "Only by the blood of Jesus Christ can you avoid eternity in a burning hell."
Perhaps what you meant to say was, "Only by the blood of Jesus Christ--and belief in a burning hell--can you avoid eternity in a burning hell."
Perhaps we should edit Paul's writing to read, "For by grace you have been saved through faith and belief in a burning hell."
I have heard it taught that hell is icy cold. Others teach that it is darkness with people tumbling for eternity through space. Others teach that each person has his own personal oven into which he has been crammed. Still others teach that it is a place of dead silence, but this is contradicted by others which teach that it is full of screaming people. Which version must I believe in order to be saved?
If you honestly believe that God's judgments are torture (which is actually a violation of God's law), and that they are "eternal" instead of eonian, as the Greek text says, then you are certainly free to believe this. I think such a view turns more people away from Christ than it converts through fear, but I would never attach your salvation to your belief on this issue. Perfect doctrine does not determine or define a Christian believer.
I have heard it said from the pulpit that if a person does not believe in heaven, then he won't go there. And if a person does not believe in a hell, then he WILL go there. What's wrong with this picture? When did it come to pass that FAITH in the death and resurrection of Christ was insufficient? When did these other things get added to the salvation formula?
When I stand before God and He asks me how He can justify me in view of my past sins, I will say, "Jesus paid the full penalty for my sins on the cross and was raised from the dead for my justification." Do you think God will then quiz me about my theological position on heaven and hell? "What? You don't believe in heaven? Then you can't go there. What? You don't believe in hell? Then you WILL go there."
I am not so concerned about our differing views on the nature and duration of hell. What concerns me most is the idea that faith for salvation must include a belief in heaven and hell. Please re-examine your belief about what it means to be saved. If you stand upon anything other than faith, then your house might be built upon sand without you realizing it.

It's spring now, blooming flowers and trees green. The usual time that the women (and some men I suppose) of the world take a look around and say "YUCK, it's time for spring cleaning". And most of the time they are talking about their homes. I am too but I'm taking it a couple of steps further. I started yesterday on the house. I'm a pretty good housekeeper so there isn't too much to do in the way of the daily stuff. I just got through with the refrigerator, throwing out old stuff and sanitizing it. (Thank you Lord, for Clorox wipes!) The only thing left to do in the kitchen is organizing the cabinets and washing windows. Long story short is that in the way of typical spring cleaning, I need to wash windows and clean the carpets. Other than that… done.
One of my big spring cleans has to do with personal stuff. I wrote a couple of months ago about ridding myself of possessions that were tying me down. Do I really need it or is it just sentimental issues? I've boxed up quite a bit and now need to make the step to physically remove it from my life. It's harder than I thought but only in the way of dreading a garage sale. I just need to take a deep breath, commit and do it. Ugh. Personally I think I've been putting it off to just plain hating to have a garage sale.
But no more, no more excuses… this time my spring clean is about me. Attitude, outlook, physical, spiritual..
Attitude – I've been looking for a job without luck for close to six months. I was taking it personally… why wouldn't anyone hire me? I thought that with my experience and qualifications, employers would be beating down the doors. Well… they aren't and I'm not going to beat myself up about it any more. One employer told me that he had 72 applicants for just one position and that he was going with someone he could pay thousands less than me. From an employer's standpoint, can't blame him at all! Something will turn up and it will be the job I'm meant to have.
Outlook – While I don't consider myself to be a negative person at all, I have noticed that internally I am in danger of becoming so. Or at least more than I ever want to be. I think it has to do with my age, stress and situations out of my control. The fact that I have probably more years behind me than in front is not pleasing and the days seem to be getting shorter. BUMMER! I refuse to let this get me down! And I refuse to be anything other than happy.
Physical – I've made the commitment to get in better shape and I'm sticking with it! I already see tiny improvements. I've noticed that since I've been "at home", I've stopped my usual routine. While I still shower (mostly twice a day), I'm not putting makeup on nor getting dressed up. It's usually natural face and running pants with a t-shirt. I miss it and even though I don't always leave the house every day, I'm going to start that back again. Who cares if I'm the only one to see it, I imagine my hubby will like it too! I'm making the extreme effort to drink more water and lose a few pounds. I will achieve my goals!
Spiritual – I'm in a good place with this and it's getting better every day. I have a hodge-podge outlook on religion. It's my own and I make no excuses for it. I don't discuss my views on religion (or politics), my opinions usually don't mesh with others and I don't want to be put in the position of having to argue about it. Probably doesn't make much sense to you but it does to me and that's what matters.
I found a great list of tips that I'm committed to following. While they are nothing new and I already do most of them, I feel that it will help me to become a better person all around. Take a look at them and see how you can apply it to your own life.
One of the most important things I need to remember is to relax and enjoy the beauty around me. And to have fun! To this point, I had a "paper day". I taught myself to fold a dollar bill into a shirt and made some paper flowers. The flowers brought back some sweet childhood memories of my mother making them. They were really big though, mine was pink and purple and Theresa's was white with red polka dots. Anyway, I was pleased with how both turned out and it was fun to do.
What are you going to clean this spring?
Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts. I'd also love it if you subscribe… lot's of good stuff coming up!
Be happy…

Artist Christine Parker and Producer Marti Amado Score a Hit With a Song in Taiwan Mitsubishi Outlander Commercial
January 2 2014
Artist and songwriter Christine Parker was surprised to see a sudden burst of Facebook friend requests and new fans on her Youtube Channel last month — all from Asia. Never having toured there, the greetings and posts (all in Chinese characters) were a bit of a mystery to the Fallbrook native, who now resides in Carlsbad, CA. When they mentioned the title of the song they had heard and loved, "Magic With You," performed by Parker and co-written by Parker and Arranger/Producer Marti Amado, she began to put two and two together.
"That song had only been release a few months before, exclusively by Universal Music's Production Music division, so I knew that if people had heard it, it must have been used in a TV show or an ad," says Parker. One of her new Asian fans sent her a link to the video of a Mitsubishi Outlander commercial (currently running in Taiwan) that featured Parker's song and performance of "Magic With You," and the artist was shocked to see that the Youtube video of the ad had almost a million hits after just a few weeks of being posted! "Totally crazy!" says Parker.
Subsequently she's received fan requests for both the lyrics and the chord changes for guitar, and has been asked by fans to please consider touring in Asia. The song has now been made available to the public to download from iTunes, courtesy of the publisher. The Mitsubishi Commercial has also led to an on air telephone interview for Parker with DJ Terry Engle at ICRT Radio in Taiwan, scheduled for February.
"It's a sweet tune," says Amado who co-wrote, arranged and produced "Magic With You" for the Quirky Pop disc (October 2013) for LA based Killer Tracks. "And Christine has a such a great voice — fresh and clear and totally sincere."
"Magic With You" was tracked by Marti Amado and Kellogg Boynton IV at Studio West, and mixed by Ben Moore. Musicians include: bass by Rob Thorsen, Vocals and Guitars by Christine Parker and Glockenspiel by Marti Amado.

A dual channel servo amplifier has been developed which is smaller, less costly, and simpler than similar amplifiers available on the market. The dual channel amplifier uses pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques to control the current through DC permanent magnet brush-type motors. The complexity is reduced by replacing much of the analog circuitry found in other amplifier designs with an Intel 87C196KD-20 16-bit microcontroller. This results in a significant reduction in the number of components used and provides greater flexibility in making future custom design changes. The microcontroller is fast enough and has sufficient I/O to control both amplifier channels.
Recent advances in metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) technology make it possible to use fewer MOSFETs than other amplifiers presently use. Combining this with integrated circuit MOSFET driver circuitry, a reduction in component count results in the output section as well.
Only essential features are implemented in the dual channel amplifier. The amplifier operates in "current mode" only, i.e., the input command controls the current through the motor. Position or velocity feedback is returned to the host controller.
By combining these features in the dual channel amplifier, a 70 % to 83 % reduction in the number of components used over two similar single channel amplifiers is realized. The cost is reduced by 19 % to 38 %. Finally, the physical volume of the dual channel amplifier is reduced by 50 % to 83 %.
These results are accomplished without sacrificing other performance aspects. The dual channel amplifier's performance characteristics are similar to competing amplifiers. This makes it possible for manufacturers of automated guided vehicles and other similar electric vehicles to package vehicle electronics into smaller spaces and remain competitive.

|I came across a nice web article on the Feast of the Transverberation of St. Teresa of Avila. She is quite the gal! So, remember that tomorrow, Friday, August 26, 2011 is a BIG DAY for all Carmelites.
Feast of the Transverberation of St. Teresa of Avila
Saint Teresa died in 1582 after proclaiming that she was "a daughter of the Church". Her body was buried in a wooden coffin. After nine months it was exhumed and to everyone's amazement, though her clothes were decaying, her body was incorrupt. While the Carmelite nuns reclothed her a delightful perfume spread throughout the monastery. Later, her heart was removed to be enclosed in a crystal vessel and placed in a jeweled silver reliquary. When this was being done they beheld a glorious and wonderful sight: a wound from the angel's dart was visible! It can still be seen today at the Carmelite Monastery of Alba de Tormes in Spain. Her heart has kept its color and since the nineteenth century three sharp thorns are visible at the base of the heart.
In the Liturgy for today's feast, the hymn for Evening Prayer is as follows:
Mild messenger of heaven's high King,
A sweeter pain, a death more dear
Victim of God's unbounded Love,
Jesu, celestial choirs adore
For further reading I recommend The Life of St Teresa by Herself, The Way of Perfection by St. Teresa of Avila, The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila, and The Collected Letters of St. Teresa of Avila. All of these can be purchased at the Institute for Carmelite Studies… (just google it.)
Jesus, You want your Spirit of Love to blaze like fire throughout the world; may we, like Saint Teresa, be instrumental in keeping that flame of love alight.
You sanctify Your friends and reveal to them the mysteries of Your heart; unite our hearts to yours in a friendship so close and intimate that we may experience the secrets of Your Love, proclaim it to others, and win them to you.
You blessed the pure of heart and promised that they would see You; purify our sight so that we may see you in all things, and through all things be close to You.
You oppose the proud and give wisdom to the simple; make us humble of heart, so that we may receive Your wisdom for the sake of the Church. ~ Intercessions from the Carmelite Proper of the Liturgy of the Hours

"My uncle came home from prison for the same shit
ya'lltrying to turn into a business."
I see white people. I see them as culture vultures inside out, outside in. There aren't too many people of color — with at least enough consciousness to swear by — that'll see differently. Black culture throughout the African Diaspora served as a direct line to our ancestors after West African countries were burglarized and rummaged through by the mayo militia. Human beings were herd like cattle to be shipped and distributed across the planet like merchandise. Whole human beings who bore nothing but a soul — some broken, some beaten, some killed, some prevailed — but there was no space for anything but a soul. That's all that was sustainable in route to colonialism. Our humanity? Left behind.
Religion? Replaced.
Blackness? Marginalized.
Identity? Minimized.
Bodies? Battered.
Hair? Stigmatized.
Anger? Ridiculed.
I see white people where people of color should be. More recently their Columbus-infused shenanigans involve capitalizing off cannabis; the same action that led to the criminalization of thousands of people of color. Thousands of families were — and are still being — destroyed due to the impact of discriminatory law enforcement. It's American legacy to equate black and brown people with felons and moral degenerates. This stroked Nixon's hard-on for making drugs public enemy numero uno.
He fired warning shots in his 1970 State of the Union address, "We must declare and win the war against the criminal elements, which increasingly threaten our cities, our homes, and our lives." No need to name said threat or identify these so-called "criminal elements." America's age-old, codependent relationship with anti-blackness did that for him. Nixon's adviser confirmed this in a 1994 interview:
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that had two enemies: the anti-war left and black people. We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course, we did."
Let's marinate in the truth. In 1992, Tupac echoed sentiments that confirmed Nixon's agenda;
It was true then, and it is true now. In 2018, TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN YA'LL, Kansas State Representative, Steve Alford, openly expressed that black people are more affected by marijuana because of "their character makeup and genetics." This was said to convince a room of 60 people – none of whom were black by the way – that drugs should remain unlawful.
Study after study and report after report is consistently regurgitated and gifted to the public proving that there are blatant disparities. Black people are much more likely to be sent to jail for drug possession, although white people are just as, if not more, likely to possess drugs. If this is a secret, then the U.S. of A. can't hold water. And white supremacist, closeted or otherwise, either lack critical thinking skills or just don't care. After seeing the number of pale jaws dropping to the floor in shock of learning Nixon's motives, I'm not sure which is it.
This imbalanced rhetoric is shared throughout a society of people who refuse to see anyone darker than a brown paper bag as wholly human. Yet, their children are able to express themselves freely. They are granted the opportunity to be mischievous, rambunctious darlings even when caught with drugs. Their futures remain as unbothered as their attitudes while we are hauled off to county jails and slapped with mandatory minimums for having nickel bags.
As a matter of fact, of the 8.2 million marijuana arrests between 2001 and 2010, 88% was for simple possession. In 2010, there was one marijuana arrest every 37 seconds causing states to spend a combined $3.6 billion just to enforce marijuana possession laws. And arrest records nationwide revealed significant racial bias despite white usage rates being higher. Black people are nearly four times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana. This, in turn, disqualifies those with drug convictions from the job market, more specifically, the legal cannabis market.
White people own and operate 81% of legal marijuana businesses, positioning themselves as the face of marijuana legalization and culture. These are your hipsters, the vessels of gentrification happening in POC neighborhoods. Except, that quaint restaurant with rustic feels, 90s rap, and a waiter who fetishizes melanin is a dispensary. People of color are carrying the heaviest load of law enforcement upon their backs while white people are cashing checks as they successfully apply the same cannabis culture once frowned upon to their brand and marketing messages.
To add insult to injury, the regulatory systems in this country have policies that make it difficult or impossible for people without liquid assets or a squeaky clean criminal record to become licensed operators. And in most states, you'll need a license plus a permit (costing upwards of $150,000 in liquid assets) to open a cannabis business.
This isn't easily accessible to many us who have been marginalized and/or fed into a system that ensures their failure. If it isn't a criminal record (since some states are looking into expunging nonviolent marijuana convictions), then it's a lack of equity in an industry already becoming saturated with white-own businesses. Those who continue to suffer the consequences of racialized marijuana prohibition are denied opportunities. Opportunities that are given to a much more prepared group — wealthy, white entrepreneurs — who'll likely bulldoze underprivileged and underrepresented people in order to build.
With that being said, it's necessary to support people of color within the cannabis industry especially if you consider yourself an ally. Become an advocate. Stay up to date on new bills and laws passed. Revolt with and for those negatively impacted by the war on marijuana. Reclaim time stolen. Donate to organizations that support the reform of marijuana laws. Don't let your support of black-owned businesses die at legalities — these laws are anti-black.
Show love to underground growers and dealers. Buy those 3.5grams of loud from your homie up the block. Keep pushing to break stigmas and keep pushing to free the niggas.

I am so grateful to the people who have invited me to stay with them and to others who have helped me with suggestions of other places to visit and things to do, especially through France. And, of course, to Patrick for organising the bloggers get-together in Oxford which was the thing that made me start out on the idea of visiting vegetables gardeners in all parts of the world.
It is going to be wonderful to garden in so many locations and to meet so many lovely people and I only hope I don't fall too far short of your expectations!
Who knows, this may be the start of other such trips by other bloggers and maybe also the first of several for me, the original vegetable vagabond. I would love to begin planning an Australian one - The Vegetable Vagabond Goes Native!
This link will be accessible in the list of Australian sites in the side bar:

Wow. Will you end up circumnavigating the globe or will you fly via the US on the way here too?
That's a lot of time to spend sitting in a plane -- better bring a good book! I hope you have a great trip and I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Patrick, it is a direct flight non-stop Singapore to London, (15 hours)clockwise. By the time I get back home I will have gone around the world, which is what people usually do from here because, for some reason, this is cheaper than any other route. From Adelaide, everywhere is a long trip in a plane. Antarctica is quite close, however!!
I am looking forward to meeting you too and all these wonderful people.

O-Town, the original stars of ABC's Making The Band, are making a comeback. The boy band have just released Lines & Circles, their first new LP since 2002's O2. We had a chance to catch up with them recently and talk about their rejuvenated career. Check out our full chat below.
Zumic: You just released "Skydive," your first single in 11 years. Can you take us through the recording process and how the reception has been?
Jacob: This process has been the most fun we've had together in a long time, and the fans are the biggest part of that. We were welcomed by fans at the airport throughout Europe, and they've been showing up with pics we've taken together over a decade ago. Bottom line is, we wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't fun, and it's been incredible so far.
Other than the absence of Ashley Parker Angel, what is different about O-Town today, from O-Town in the early 2000s?
Trevor: It's been different, but it's been awesome... The main difference between O-Town then and now is that we are doing everything. We don't have a major record label telling us what to sing and what the album artwork is going to look like. We are actually doing all that stuff within the band. O-Town has its fingerprints all over this process -- from songwriting, to managing, to design, to the live show -- we are the ones in control of it all. It's amazing, 'cause we're actually getting to express ourselves as artists and not just singers.
How does the modern day pop star compare to the pop icons when you guys first came together?
Trevor: I believe the biggest difference between pop stars then and now is the how the industry has been changed by recent technology. Social media has changed everything in a good way. It's a lot easier to interact with your fans and hear their opinions immediately, which I think is awesome for not only the fan, but the artist as well.
You guys have all recorded and performed independently over the last decade. Do you have any regrets about the split?
Jacob: We never knew it would be so long of a break at the time, and once we started on our individual paths it became harder and harder to get back together. I think we all agree that break was necessary to bring us to the point we're at today. Getting degrees in business and graphic design, and the experience of living in Nashville and branching out into new avenues has allowed us to take the lead on this project and create the O-Town that we always wanted it to be.
Did any of you have non-music related jobs before Making The Band?
Jacob: I worked at Taylor Guitars building acoustics for a little while before O-Town. And after, I built hand-made custom microphones for Korby Audio, restored 68 - 82 Stingray Corvettes, did construction with my family, and pretty much everything else you're supposed to learn as a well-rounded man that we kinda missed out on as a child chasing music.
Ikaika Kahoano turned down a spot to be in O-Town to go to medical school. He went on to perform in the less successful LMNT. Have any of you guys spoken to him since? Do you think he regrets that decision?
EM: I believe we might have run in to him once in NY, possibly during the LMNT times. But no, I know I never reconnected with him. He doesn't seem like the type that would regret a decision. Hope he doesn't. When Ikaika quit, it motivated us even more to win. That's when we called Dan. And it was shortly after that when we signed with J Records. Truth is, it's hard to say we would have been as successful if he didn't quit. Can you imagine "All or Nothing" without Dan's voice opening up the first verse? If I were to see him now, I'd have to thank him.
Your album Lines & Circles came out on August 24th. What can fans expect to hear on this album?
Jacob: This is the first true "O-Town" album. That looming question we've had of what we could accomplish if we had a label trust us and empower us to create the music, and be the artists we want to be is about to finally be answered. I believe this to be our best work to date.
If you were to create a dream song with anybody from history, who would be produce it, who would be featuring on it, and which venue would you choose to perform it at?
Jacob: Hmm, good one... I'd have to say it's always been a dream of mine to be on stage with Michael Jackson. In a perfect world, I would sing opposite Michael on the song "Bad" and sing the duet part Prince was meant to do originally. At Madison Square Garden.
What's coming up for O-Town in the future?
EM: We have the new single "Chasin After You" going out to radio after Labor Day. Album out on the 24th of August. Live shows in November and December. 2015 is still under construction. Speaking of 2015... it's friggin 2015, we are officially catching up with every Sci-Fi movie written.
Before I let you go, I feel obligated to ask something I've always wondered. What exactly is "Liquid Dreams" about?
EM: Nocturnal emissions
Lines & Circles is out now. Purchase it through Amazon.

It's been a busy week. The weather got the better of our plans due to icy run off areas so our proposed test day at Donington was cancelled. A very last minute decision was made & off we went to Bruntingthorpe to continue learning about our beloved 169. Excellent performance from both drivers and a few more laps for me. Consistently decreasing lap times were posted by our drivers & I had a little bit more time driving to learn how late you need to brake in a Fun Cup car – this I would suggest is the next challenge for our drivers. It should see a significant reduction in lap times. What struck me by the end of the day was how the drivers were beginning to understand the platform of the vehicle & beginning to work out how they might like it to be adjusted for their own needs. I'm fascinated to see if we can find a suitable set up for all 3 drivers that won't punish the tyres too hard over a 6 hour race.
Information was gained on fuel burn for our two drivers present on the day as well as some good solid feedback on vehicle characteristics. Both filled in a subjective vehicle evaluation crib sheet asking 15 questions about the behaviour of 169 when cornering. These sheets are used extensively by the motor industry to evaluate vehicles – for racing drivers they tease out their thoughts & subjective feelings about their car, acting as an aid for engineers to understand in which direction they need to go with vehicle set up. It's always easier with 1 driver rather than 3!
A couple of days later found us at Millbrook. Perfect practice makes perfect pit stops. The percentage reduction in pit stop time was considerable over the day. The day was an opportunity to familiarise ourselves with the challenges of getting in and out of a Fun Cup car in the shortest possible time. Big thanks to Paul Playle of Playle Autoimagery for cataloguing the day for us with some great pictures. All 3 drivers attended – that in itself posed challenges as you'll see at Oulton Park – we have a variation of height & build. Lots to think about when setting seat position, tension in belts & simply getting in & out quickly. Paul Rose suggests a quick time is 12 seconds – we'll be doing our best to match that. Also recognising the need to have process to our refuelling, our two dedicated refuellers joined us for the day to get familiar with the dump churns & to perfect & hone their skills.
What's really struck me about the whole journey so far is the camaraderie, the team spirit & the need for all team members to have an input into the workings of the team. We've approached the pre season with a good spirit & professional attitude. As anticipation mounts everyone is enthusiastic for the first race. 169 is now with our trusted graphics provider, Trevor of Hi-Design. Working his magic with the original base colour, we're excited to see her new look ready for the teams race debut ….. 7 days and counting.

Wilmington, North Carolina-The Wilmington Sharks set a new season high for runs scored en route to defeating the Holly Springs Salamanders 10-0 Friday night in front of 1,337 fans at Buck Hardee Field for their first shutout of the season. The victory improved the Sharks to 5-8 on the season.
The Sharks jumped on the Salamanders right out of the gate with Steven Curry leading off with a single in the first. Jacob Plastiak followed with a walk. With one out, Chad Fairey singled home Curry in his first career Sharks at bat. With two outs, Dallas Callahan singled home Pastiak and Fairey giving the Sharks the early 3-0 lead.
With one out in the bottom of the fifth, Curry recorded another single. He advanced to third on a wild pick off attempt. Plastiak singled him home bringing his current hit streak to six games. Plastiak then stole second and advanced to third on a balk. Corey Everett followed with a walk and then stole second. Fairey drove home Plastiak on an RBI ground out to make it 5-0. A throwing error on a ball hit by James Parker allowed Everett to score making it 6-0.
Jonah Beamon hit a one-out solo home run in the sixth to extend the Sharks lead to 7-0. The Sharks batted around in the seventh and added an additional three runs to go up 10-0.
Sharks starter Garrett McDaniels was lights out giving up only six hits in four innings of shutout ball. He struck out eight and got out of bases loaded jams in the third and fourth innings. Austin Skipper came on in relief to begin the fifth and recorded four strikeouts without allowing any runs through the seventh. Jaret Montenery then pitched a scoreless eighth and a scoreless ninth to complete the shutout.
The Sharks will be back in action Saturday night against the Morehead City Marlins at Buck Hardee Field. The first 500 kids into the stadium will receive a free Sharks jersey as part of a Kids Jersey Giveaway presented by Van Products Mobility. Caleb Bishop (1-1, 3.60) will start on the mound for the Sharks. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05PM with the gates opening at 6:00PM.

Justice J. Douglas Cunningham flagged calls for a dedicated section for and further rules unique to condominiums under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act in an interim report on the Tarion review released Aug. 31. Condominium boards and industry professionals also raised with the special advisor specific concerns about claim deadlines and warranty coverage through the course of the review.
A number of condominium boards told Justice Cunningham that the timeframe for submitting performance audit reports to Tarion, which triggers the warranty claim process, is inadequate. This remains the case, they added, even with recent changes to the Condominium Act that will give condominium boards one year from registration to do so when the changes take effect. The challenge, condominium boards and lawyers explained to him, was that the one-year window often passes before the common elements are finished and can be assessed for defects.
One way Justice Cunningham contemplated addressing this in the interim report is to either extend the timeframe for submitting claims or replace it with a "reasonableness" measure.
In a related concern, condominium boards said to Justice Cunningham that in some cases developers withhold important documents. These materials, which are relied upon by the consulting architect or engineer to conduct the performance audit, can include drawings, plans and specifications.
Some of the experiences and issues encountered by home owners were shared by condominium corporations, according to the interim report.
Condominium boards and home owners alike bear the burden of proof to demonstrate that defects are warrantable claims, which can be both a confusing exercise and a costly exercise when experts need to be hired, Justice Cunningham wrote. He offered as possible options educating home owners on this burden of proof and transferring responsibility for diagnosing problems to Tarion, after home owners have submitted sufficient proof of the symptoms.
There was also a perception among some home owners that some builders promise to make repairs, run out the clock on the deadline for conciliation requests and stop communicating after the deadline expires. However, Justice Cunningham noted, he also heard stories about some builders doing the opposite and going out of their way to accommodate repair requests past the deadline.
Another issue faced by condominium boards and home owners, to which lawyers attested too, is Tarion leaving the choice of repair up to the builder. The result, said these parties, can be that the condominium corporations or home owners are stuck paying the long-term price when low-cost, quick-fix solutions are applied.
Justice Cunningham heard from home owners from all parts of Ontario that the coverage period for water penetration ought to be lengthened from two years to five and the coverage period for major structural defects ought to be lengthened from seven years to 10. Condominium boards also expressed a desired to see the scope of what constitutes a major structural defect widened, although Justice Cunningham didn't elaborate on what they wanted it expanded to include. On those points, he raised the possibility of changing the way Tarion evaluates warranty program coverage and duration.
These are just a select few of the special advisor's preliminary findings in the Tarion review, which has reached builders, consumer advocacy groups and the warranty corporation's board, employees and leadership, among many others. More than 200 home owners and industry professionals participated in public consultations in eight cities across Ontario; 80 individuals and 15 organizations made more than 500 written submissions from Nov. 5 last year to July 6 this year.
One of the written submissions was an independent survey conducted by the Canadians for Properly Built Homes (CPBH). The consumer advocacy group, which welcomed news of the review, continues to raise concerns about its terms of engagement.
"CPBH is still studying this interim report," the group said in an emailed statement to media on Aug. 31. "While a number of key issues are included, we remain very concerned that there was woefully inadequate consumer input in this process."
The Ontario government launched the independent, public review of Tarion last fall. Justice Cunningham was appointed to examine the province's new home warranty legislation and the corporation that administers it, and make recommendations on how to improve consumer protection.
Justice Cunningham noted that he has not made any decisions about recommendations yet, nor should the options outlined in the interim report be considered exhaustive. He added that he will be accepting feedback via email at firstname.lastname@example.com until Oct. 14.
Justice Cunningham is due to submit a final report to the Ontario government with his recommendations this fall.
