-->"Fat Lip"
'''Sum 41''' is a pop punk rock band from Ontario, Canada, formed in 1996 by vocalist/guitarist Deryck Whibley and drummer Steve Jocz. They were soon joined by lead guitarist Dave Baksh and after a set of bass guitarist they finally settled on Jason "Cone" [=McCaslin=] in 1999. The band's name reflects on how they formed "[[PunBasedTitle some 41 days into the summer]]." Their first album (''All Killer, No Filler'') was released in 2001 and spawned their most successful single, "Fat Lip".
Their follow-up album ''Does This Look Infected?'' was released in 2002. It featured a darker sound and also more serious lyrical themes. This continued onto their third album ''Chuck'', released in 2004. In 2006, Baksh left the band to focus on his own band Brown Brigade. He was replaced by Tom Thacker, who was initially only a live member, while their 2007 album ''Underclass Hero'' was recorded as a trio. Thacker became an official member in 2009 and helped to co-write title track for (but did not record on) their fifth studio album ''Screaming Bloody Murder'', released in 2011.
The bands music is primarily pop punk and punk rock, though they have diversified over the years. They moved from pop punk (with some rap rock) on ''All Killer, No Filler'', to melodic hardcore on ''Does This Look Infected?'' and ''Chuck'' (with the latter having alternative metal influences and lighter alternative rock), back to pop punk with ''Underclass Hero'', and back to melodic hardcore with ''Screaming Bloody Murder''.
Sum 41 currently consists of Whibley on vocals and rhythm guitar, Tom Thacker on lead guitar and backing vocals and Cone on bass and backing vocals. Drummer Steve Jocz left the band in April of 2013, leaving Deryck as the sole remaining founding member. Frank Zummo is said to perform on the upcoming album and is now a full time member. The new album also marks the return of lead guitarist Dave Baksh, making Sum 41 a 5 piece.
* "Half Hour of Power" (2000, EP)
* "All Killer, No Filler" (2001)
* "Does This Look Infected?" (2002)
* "Chuck" (2004)
* [[LiveAlbum "Go Chuck Yourself"]] (2005, released in Japan as Happy Live Surprise)
* "Underclass Hero" (2007)
* [[GreatestHitsAlbum "All the Good Shit"]] (2008)
* "Screaming Bloody Murder" (2011)
* "Thirteen Voices" (2016)
!They provide examples of the following tropes:
* TheAlcoholic: Deryck admitted, that he used to drink very excessively. He eventually stopped after he collapsed and doctors told him, that if he had one more drink, he would probably die.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Steve.
* AlterEgoActing: As Pain for Pleasure (see below). Also in music video for Still Waiting, they performed as The Sums and were renamed. Deryck was Sven, Dave was Holmes, Steve was Sergio and Cone was Thurston.
* AscendedExtra: Tom, as of 2009.
* BreakupSong: Pieces, Time for You to Go, What Am I to Say, Blood in My Eyes and Baby, You Dont Wanna Know. Note that 4 of these 5 songs were recorded after the divorce from Music/AvrilLavigne
* CallBack: Bridge to the song Subject to Change (found on japanese version of Chuck) is the same as at the end of No Reason (another, earlier song from the same album). And of course, chorus of the former song was later re-used as chorus to Underclass Hero.
* CarefulWithThatAxe: Mr. Amsterdam
* CelebritySong: A.N.I.C.
* CerebusSyndrome: ''Half Hour of Power'' and ''All Killer, No Filler'' were both very upbeat, MTV-friendly pop-punk albums. They were followed by the [[NewSoundAlbum hardcore/horror punk inspired]] ''Does This Look Infected?'' and, after that, the very sombre ''Chuck'' and equally so ''Screaming Bloody Murder'', making the much lighter ''Underclass Hero'' a BreatherEpisode. Judging by "Fake My Own Death," ''Thirteen Voices'' will continue this.
* CountryMatters: A.N.I.C., which stands for Anna Nicole Is (a) Cunt.
** Concerts [[CrossesTheLineTwice take this a step further]] with Deryck introducing the song as "Anna Nicole Is A Fucking Stupid Cunt!"
** Also in "Ma Poubelle". The song contains a line "Tu sais tu es ma petite fleur, avec une plotte qui est comme du beurre", which translates to "You know you are my little flower, with a cunt that's like butter".
* DarkerAndEdgier: Does This Look Infected? was this to All Killer, No Filler and Chuck was this to Does This Look Infected and finally Screaming Bloody Murder is this to Underclass Hero.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In Basketball Butcher, Stevo murders (and later [[ImAHumanitarian cooks and eats]]) Cone simply because he beat him in a basketball match.
* DrugsAreBad: Angels With Dirty Faces
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Half Hour of Power, although it's actually slightly shorter, with the 30 minutes length being only done with added silence after the last song.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: They use this a lot. "Grab the Devil by the Horns" to "Machine Gun", "Summer" to "32 Ways to Die" to "Second Chance for Max Headroom", "Dave's Possessed Hair" to "Ride the Chariot to the Devil", almost entire ''All Killer No Filler'', "Thanks for Nothing" to "Hyper-Insomnia-Para-Condroid" to "Billy Spleen", Intro to No Reason to "We're All to Blame", and all three parts of A Dark Road Out of Hell.
* GenreShift / NewSoundAlbum: See above.
* GratuitousFrench: "Ma Poubelle". Although the song is entirely in French, Deryck uses English accent.
* GreatestHitsAlbum: All the Good Shit
* HeavyMetal: They had an AlterEgoActing band named [[FakeBand Pain for Pleasure]], where they performed in wigs and costumes and used nicknames - Steve (who was lead vocalist here) was Pain, Deryck (drummer) was Gunner, Dave was Pleasure and Cone was Sniper. They recorded three songs under this monicker: Pain for Pleasure, Reign in Pain and WWVII Parts 1 & 2. They also appeared as this in two of their music videos: Fat Lip (where they performed their self-titled song) and We're All to Blame (where they were announced as next band to perform on Solid Gold). Incidentally, Deryck is shown as guitarist in both of those appearances, although he actually played drums in this band.
* ImAHumanitarian: In one of their web videos, Basketball Butcher, after losing against Cone in basketball match, Steve kills him and then cooks him. Later, Deryck and Dave come in. They ask him what is for the dinner. Steve replies with "You!".
* IncrediblyLongNote: Dave has one near the end of [[Music/{{Nickelback}} How You Remind Me]].
* InsultBackfire: [[Music/{{Oasis}} Noel Gallagher]] once called them "the worst band in the world". They liked it enough to use it as a slogan for a while.
* LighterAndSofter: While darker than All Killer No Filler, Underclass Hero was this to the album previous album Chuck and sounds closer to Does This Look Infected.
* MetalScream: Once again, Mr. Amsterdam
* MoodWhiplash: ''Chuck'' is especially made of this. Not only does it put relatively softer songs ("Some Say", "Pieces" and "Slipping Away") between fast and aggresive songs, but even some of the heavier songs on the album have slower, melodic parts such as on "We're All to Blame" (aggresive verses, calm choruses) or "88" (which has calmer first verse and the outro, but is otherwise fast and heavy).
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Cone is the only one to not rap on both Fat Lip and What Were All About.
* NonAppearingTitle: Sorted by albums, excluding some partial examples and istrumentals.
** ''Half Hour of Power'': "Machine Gun", "Summer" (also on ''All Killer, No Filler''), "Second Chance for Max Headroom" and "Dave's Possessed Hair".
** ''All Killer No Filler'': "Introduction to Destruction", "Fat Lip", "Crazy Amanda Bunkface" and "Heart Attack".
** ''Does This Look Infected?'': "The Hell Song", "A.N.I.C.", "No Brains", "Mr. Amsterdam", "Hyper-Insomnia-Para-Condriod", "Billy Spleen" and "Hooch",
** ''Chuck'': "Angels with Dirty Faces", "Welcome to Hell", "88", "Moron", "Noots" and "Subject to Change".
** ''Underclass Hero'': "Underclass Hero", "Speak of the Devil", "With Me", and "Confusion and Frustration in Modern Times".
** ''Screaming Bloody Murder'': "Screaming Bloody Murder", "Jessica Kill", "Crash" and "Exit Song",
* PerishingAltRockVoice: In the outro to Skumfuk
* PowerBallad: Slipping Away, Pieces, With Me, and What Am I To Say
* ProtestSong: Still Waiting, Underclass Hero, and the majority of Chuck.
* PunBasedTitle: The band's name comes from the fact that they formed "some 41 days into the summer."
* PunkRock
* PutOnABus / TheBusCameBack: Dave Baksh.
* RapRock: "Fat Lip" and "What We're All About". They also collaborated with Ludacris for a rock version of "Get Back."
* RockTrio: During Underclass Hero era they officially consisted only of Deryck, Cone and Steve (Tom was a live member only and as such did not play on the album, nor did he appear in music videos). Screaming Bloody Murder was also recorded in three piece despite Tom Thacker already being a member of the band at that point (he did get a co-writing credit for title track, though).
* SpecialGuest: [[Music/{{Slayer}} Kerry King]] on [[Film/SpiderMan1 What We're All About]].
** Sum 41 themselves performed on Little Know It All by [[Music/TheStooges Iggy Pop]] and Get Back by Ludacris.
* StartMyOwn: Dave Baksh, who left to form Brown Brigade. Although he only recorded one album with that band, then it seemed to fade.
* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Aside from singing on Pain for Pleasure songs, Steve also rapped on Fat Lip, What We're All About and Thanks for Nothing (along with Deryck and in case of first two, Dave).
* StudioChatter: At the beginning of Were All to Blame.
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: Slipping Away, Pieces, With Me, What Am I To Say, bits of Happiness Machine, and Crash
* TheSomethingSong: The Hell Song, Exit Song
* TitleTrack: ''Underclass Hero'' and ''Screaming Bloody Murder''.
* TrashTheSet: The end of Still Waiting video. Also in Walking Disaster.
* WarIsHell: Still Waiting..

Animal Nitro
44 packs$41.49
Universal Nutrition Animal Nitro is Accelerated Amino Transport. Aminos are the basic building blocks of muscle. Aminos can also trigger anabolism, the cornerstone of muscle growth. As a lifter, you need them, especially the right ones. While there are nearly two dozen different amino acids, only a select few are absolutely essential for igniting the anabolic drive, as new research has shown. Not surprisingly, these required aminos are the same ones found in human muscle protein. Animal Nitro is the first and only supplement that contains the correct ratios of those aminos based on human muscle protein itself.

Former Rumsfeld Flack Falsely Calls Shinseki's Opposition To Rumsfeld's Iraq War Plan 'A Legend'
In a Washington Post op-ed today, Lawrence Di Rita, former special assistant to Donald Rumsfeld, decries the "myth" surrounding Gen. Eric Shinseki's February 2003 statement that "several hundred thousand troops" would be needed secure Iraq. Di Rita claims that Shinseki in fact supported the Rumsfeld plan because he did not speak up against it in meetings. The former Rumsfeld aide calls Shinseki's opposition "one of the most enduring myths of the Bush presidency" and "a legend":
Here are some facts: First, Shinseki, as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, supported the war plan. . … There was ample opportunity for the chiefs to express concerns and propose alternatives. There is no record of Shinseki having objected.
In reality, Shinseki and Rumsfeld had a fundamental disagreement on strategy. In his testimony, Shinseki stated that "hundreds of thousands" of troops would be needed for "post-hostilities control" over land "that's fairly significant [in size] with the kinds of ethnic tensions that could lead to other problems." The Pentagon, in contrast, assumed that there would be minimal internal resistance, thus, there would be no need for so many troops. In July 2003, for example, Paul Wolfowitz admitted that Pentagon officials "turned out to underestimate the problem."
Di Rita also fails to mention that the Pentagon quickly "castrated" Shinseki by ridiculing him publicly. While Di Rita claimed that "Sinseki was not forced from office, as ThinkProgress has documented, Rumsfeld announced Shinseki's successor 18 months prior to Shinseki's retirement — a signal that dissent would not be tolerated:
Feb. 27, 2003: Wolfowitz "opened a two-front war of words on Capitol Hill, calling the recent estimate by Gen. Eric K. Shinseki of the Army that several hundred thousand troops would be needed in postwar Iraq, 'wildly off the mark.'"
March 19, 2003: A senior Pentagon official dismissed Shinseki's comments as "bullshit from a Clintonite enamored of using the army for peacekeeping and nation-building and not winning wars."
March 29, 2003: "For the past two years Gen Shinseki has been in total eclipse." Shinseki "had already been turned into a lame duck ('castrated', according to the same Pentagon source) by the apparently unprecedented Rumsfeld decision to announce his successor 18 months in advance."
Unfortunately, the media have also picked up on the false meme that Shinseki's silence was indicative of support. "Shinseki never objected to the war plans, and he didn't press for any changes," CNN's Jamie McIntyre wrote in a Dec. 8 piece titled, "Myth of Shinseki Lingers." Similarly, President Bush remarked yesterday, "I don't remember him coming to talk to me specifically with the other generals on the joint chiefs."
Spencer Ackerman recalls how ret. Gen. Paul van Riper described the reaction to Rumsfeld's smearing of Shinseki:
I know of nothing, other than the failure to plan adequately for the war in Iraq, that upset the retired community nearly as much as Mr. Rumsfeld's treatment of the chief of staff of the Army, Gen. Shinseki. Just irate. I've been in meetings and breakfasts and lunch where this is a subject of conversation and just a very, very bitter feeling that he would treat someone like that.

Prasonisi 15 - 22 June 2016
Run By : Jem Hall Windsurf Clinics
New 2016 Jem Hall windsurfing clinic week to the amazing freeride windsurfing venue at Prasonisi on the beautiful Greek Island of Rhodes. Ideal for intermediate to advanced windsurfers wishing to work on a range of technicques to improve stance, early planing, sailing faster, tacking and will guarantee a definite performance boost to your carve gybes. Freestyle moves, jumping and looping also included for those ready and willing!
Course details
Jem will be coaching through the use of simulators, on-water coaching and video coaching. The course content will be relevant to the ability level for that week and individual needs but generally covers:
► Stance Early planing, faster sailing, both up and downwind, getting control.
► Tacking Learning and improving this very useful and fundamental skill.
► Carve Gybes From improving your turns to getting that elusive planing gybe.
► Freestyle Introduction and improving with lots of new and useful tricks.
► Jumping Experience your first airtime, try some forwards, learn to Vulcan or any other stunts you fancy .
Typical Course Level
Intermediates to Advanced
To get the best out of this clinic, intermediates should be fully blasting in the harness and footstraps, water starting and attempting carve gybes. If you are advanced then the sky's the limit. Jem will demonstrate and teach a range of moves from 360s to loops, vulcans to spocks.
The Conditions
Wind in Greece is very consistent with Jem's Prasonisi dates having an average of 5 days out of 7 as planing days over the last 7 years. Prasonisi offers the choice from cross-off from the right with the very reliable Meltemi getting a local boost to give us flat water and chop, or, a short sail upwind, there is also a cross onshore beach giving small waves to practice on or get into bump and jump/wavesailing.
Jem says "This place almost seems designed to help you improve whilst giving you an awesome range of windsurfing conditions."

moreFocusing on the individual's relationship with those around him, Barrett looks at how the hierarchical structure of some organizations can hinder productivity. Through personal awareness, team building, influencing, decision making and personal agenda setting, each individual within an organization can learn to act as a leader, taking responsibility for their own tasks and relationships. This improves not only personal performance and enjoyment at work, but is enormously beneficial for the organization as a whole.
Packed with exercises that enable the reader to assess their leadership effectiveness and their progress, this book is an invaluable learning tool for both the individual who wants to achieve, and the organization seeking to establish a supportive and dynamic culture.less

World Briefing | Middle East: Iraq: The Politics Of Dog Food
By Barbara Crossette (NYT)
Published: July 14, 2001
The head of the United Nations ''oil for food'' program in Iraq has done some unusual accounting. Benon Sevan, angry at Iraqi accusations two weeks ago that the organization's mine-sniffer dogs eat better than Iraqi people, told the sanctions committee that feeding each dog, on imported dog food and chicken and animal fats, cost $408 a year, not $1,248, as an Iraqi minister told the Security Council last month.

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights in July/August. We took the opportunity of being met at the airport by a private taxi company which is arranged through the hotel. Two smartly dressed chaps met us and we were soon on our way in a nice air conditioned executive vehicle. They dropped us at a small square where an employee of the Riad met us. He then walked us along alleys into a souk. The only type of transport to reach Raid Monceau after being dropped off would be a moped or by foot so paying for this service through the hotel is well worth it. I am not too sure how we would have found the place as it is in the alleys of the Souk. (I think it was €20 for a return trip) Well he took us down said small alley and there was a large door to the hotel. On entering it was another world to the hubbub we had just left. The building had been carefully and lovingly converted into a luxury boutique hotel. Our room was delightful and opened onto the small pool. (more a plunge pool). This is where you ate in the evening. We did on two nights and although more expensive than outside the food was definitely 5 star and well worth every penny. Breakfast was served in a room near the pool and was very good with a choice of eggs if you so wished. Beware of the local sparrows swooping in and stealing the cornflakes! As mentioned before in other reviews, the Riad is a short walk to the square so you can't really get lost. After the heat of the day and batting away the hawkers it's a lovely oasis to escape the organised chaos of outside. Would return tomorrow!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Located in a quiet side street just off the Djemaa El Fna (about 100 metres from the square) Le Riad Monceau is a cosy 7-room boutique hotel with pool, hammam-spa, rooftop terraces overviewing the Koutoubia Mosque, and a renowned Moroccan gourmet restaurant where you will enjoy the best of Moroccan gastronomy. Famous friendly cooking workshops are held every morning in the restaurant's kitchen. ... more less

Photo Flash: Schreiber Studios Honors Nixon & Wasserstein
Wasserstein, who died of complications from lymphoma on January 30th of this year at the age of 55, won much acclaim over the course of almost three decades for writing plays that with wit, warmth and insight, confronted a range of feminist issues. Her plays included Uncommon Women and Others, The Sisters Rosensweig, Isn't It Romantic, An American Daughter and The Heidi Chronicles, which is commonly regarded as her masterpiece and won both a Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Third, a critical and commercial hit at Lincoln Center, was the last new Wasserstein work to be presented.
Nixon, who recently starred in Rabbit Hole, previously appeared on Broadway in The Women, The Last Night of Ballyhoo, Indiscretions (Tony nomination), Angels in America, The Heidi Chronicles, Hurlyburly and The Real Thing (simultaneously) and The Philadelphia Story.

I'd like my archives page to look a certain way, and believe me, I tried everything I possibly could after reading dozens of posts on this forum and elsewhere, but every time I find something new it seems to conflict with the rest. This is driving me crazy as WordPress is really different from regular html/php pages that I am used to editing.
Anyways, this might be long and not too clear so please bare with me :)
I've decided to use WordPress for my client's website, they are a newspaper and they have tons and tons of articles in their archives. I first started using the Super Archives Plugin, which I thought worked fine. However, I realized that plugin didn't work on some older versions of IE and definitely not on Mac.
That's why I would like to add a link on the atchives page to a second archive page for old IE and Mac users which would display a list of Years and Months, and the month link would expand/collapse a list of entry titles with their respective dates.
Is that even possible? If not how do I get an archive that will display years and months and then a different page for each month?
Thanks to whomever manages to understand what I'm saying and could help.

Historical Traveler Reviews Ramada San Luis Obispo
Loved the Ramada Olive Tree
We had great time at Ramada Inn Olive Tree, the staff was excellent made our vacation so enjoyable. The room was clean and comfortable and we definatly go back whenever we are in that area again.
The manager is a THIEF!!!
The rates are competitive at this motel, but the manager is very dishonest. We called a week earlier to have a discount magazine left at the front desk of this place. Our contact said she would leave the coupons with the manager at the front desk. When we arrived, he said that no one had dropped anything off with him or left anything for us.
He was lying. We called our travel contact, and she said she had just dropped it off yesterday. The manager stole our discount coupon books for himself!!! Unbelievable!
Then, the maid forgot to leave us some soap. We asked the manager for two bars of soap, one for the bath, and one for the sink. The cheap bastard informed us that we could only have one. Beware of the management. They will steal and lie to you!
Best Experience
For the $$ this was an excellent experience. The one and two bed room suites were roomy 7 comfortable. Professional staff & Service
Clean and reasonable place to be
we stayed in December holidays on the way from San Francisco. We checked in late and front desk was so helpful in settling to the room. we had great breakfast and very helpful in giving direction.
We would definetly recomand it and we will go back
their again and again
Bad Management
The Management was The worse My family has ever delt with in my live, the manager did not speek english and was RUDE!, I think the owner of this ramada need's to make a change. NOW.The rooms where very nice but not cleaned very well, also the food next door was not up to par. other then that the rest of our stay was nice. BAD MANAGEMENT.
Customer service should be # one. I wish we had found this site before we booked, NOW WE WILL check out trip advisor everytime we book, and so should you.
Loved the staff
We stayed in November 27& 28, 2002 We had wonderful time in San Luis Obispo, We had family reunion and Ramda Inn Olive Tree staff took care of all our request. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We would go their again and again...
Bad experience with the Ramada Inn, Olive Tree
I booked a 2 day online reservation and didn't have any problems with the check-in. Later on that night, unfortunately, my luck turned ugly.
After returning from dinner, my husband and I found ourselves locked out of our room. When speaking to the manager, he informed me that he had made a mistake in billing and was supposed to charge us a higher price than the one I agreed to. After acknowledging his error, I asked him if the price of the room I agreed to was still the same as to what I signed for. He said it was still the same. Low and behold after checking my credit card service online days later, my credit card had been charged the higher price.
I called the manager and he told me he would check into the matter. After four days of not being called back, I had to call him again and got into a hostile phone conversation because he said that I had agreed to go ahead and be charged the higher price than the one I had agreed to at check-in. I told him that he had made the error and good business is to not lie to your customers. I told him that all I wanted was the difference between the two prices to be returned to my credit card. He agreed to refund the difference but days later, it still hasn't been credited.
Don't go through the headache and anger that I have gone through. Bad management. There are plenty of hotels across the street from the Ramada Inn. Stay away from this hotel!!
Don't go there
Another industry down the drain. Now owned, I believe, as franchises, this one is particularly bad. I made reservations online for $139 for a suite, $89 for another room. When I called to change it to 2 nights instead of 3, they had mistakenly had us down for 4 nights. I said I had AAA, would they give me the discount, they said yes.
They did not. They said when we paid it was 'already included' (on the web, impossible to know if everyone has AAA). So they cheated me out of $28 and $18. He could not speak much English and was hostile. The room would have been ok, but the stove in the kitchen was filthy, there were no kitchen tools (why have a kitchen with no tools). I asked for the other room to be a smoking room. It was not. The 'free coffee' included one (1) creamer and sugar. I had to request more (their policy is to put out only one. They did it both days).
I regret these ever more and more cheap ways to handle the 'hospitality' industry, and really abhor the filth and mistrust that these new owners seem to have. I would never go there again. It is awful to have to try to find out if a name brand place is really bad now because of individual owners or franchees.
Don't be fooled
Just returning from the Olive Tree Inn, I feel compeled to tell you that it was nothing like what I thought it would be. I found a web sight showing pictures of it which were inaccurate. The managers where helpless at best. The maids yelled at me for smoking in the room - YELLED. The room was dirty. The food at the attached reastuarant was terrible (although the staff there was atleast friendly). The heated pool? Forget it - not heated, slightly green, smaller then the room you're sitting in right now.
Terrible, etc, etc, etc.

Skip to comments.Vatican Regret at Anglican Vote to Ordain Female Bishops
Posted on 07/08/2008 7:44:22 AM PDT by NYer
(8 July 08 - RV) The Vatican Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity issued a Statement Tuesday regarding recent events within the Anglican Communion.
The Council is headed by Cardinal Walter Kasper. The statement reads:
"We have regretfully learned of the Church of England vote to pave the way for the introduction of legislation which will lead to the ordaining of women to the Episcopacy.
The Catholic position on the issue was clearly expressed by Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II. Such a decision signifies a breaking away from the apostolic tradition maintained by all of the Churches since the first millennium, and therefore is a further obstacle for the reconciliation between the Catholic Church and the Church of England.
This decision will have consequences on the future of dialogue, which had up until now born fruit, as Cardinal Kasper had clearly explained when he spoke on June 5 2006 to all of the bishops of the Church of England at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Cardinal has been invited once again to express the Catholic position at the next Lambeth Conference at the end of July".
This week the Church of England's ruling General Synod voted to consecrate women as bishops and approved a code of practice.
The synod members voted to approve work on a national statutory code to accommodate those within the Church who object to women bishops.
The synod rejected compromise proposals for new "super bishops" to cater for objectors - and also their preferred option of creating new dioceses.
The decision to go ahead with work on the code came after more than six hours of debate by the General Synod.
Some 1,300 clergy had threatened to leave the Church if safeguards were not agreed to reassure objectors.
This replaces the previous thread that has been locked because I labeled it 'Ecumenical'.
The way forward to reunion between Rome and Canterbury does not lead through Canterbury but Lagos.
So much for Episcopal priests becoming Catholic priests.
>>>This week the Church of England's ruling General Synod voted to consecrate women as bishops and approved a code of practice>>>>
Good news for the next generation of girls! Fairness and equality should be a given in 2008!
Now the Catholic Church needs to allow women in that role.
Time for the Anglican faithful, what remains of them, to flee this apostate body and find refuge in some other home. Rome is probably their most likely candidate but no one who is a Bible believing Christian should remain in this apostate church. You can bet that ordaining gay clergy is coming to England, much sooner than any of them would dream.
It's unfortunate, but this may be an insurmountable obstruction. So be it.
......>>the apostles appointed men to be the heads of local bodies of worshipers...>>>
Rules made 1500 years ago, by men...when women were treated as less than posessions.
Bigotry is hard to overcome, but I'm glad to see the Angelicans are doing so!
You're kidding, right?
Oh, please. It's not "bigotry;" there's a natural difference between men and women. Men can't bear children or be mothers; women can't be fathers or priests (or bishops).
All the churches with women "priests," "bishops," etc. are dying on the vine, anyway, so this will all be a moot point within a few years.
As one other commenter here pointed out, any church that has allowed women clergy has seen a rapid decline. It holds true for each and every denomination that has abandoned God's Word. The Episcopal Church is seeing people leaving in droves, and you can be sure that the same will be happening with the Church of England.
In fact, 1300 clergymen and 11 bishops have already signed a letter threatening to leave (and defect to the Catholic Church, probably) if this resolution passed. You can be sure that we are witnessing the beginning of the breakup of the Church of England.
I started another thread that links an article by Damian Thompson of the Telegraph, U.K. It states that at least 2 Anglican Traditonalist are going to seek Full Communion with Rome and also try to bring in their entire congregations en masse.
Interesting times we are living in and the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI keeps getting more and more interesting every day.
Nothing He did was without plan or reason.
Hmm, but they had no problem with the installation of Vicky Gene Robinson as a Bishop?
(For those who don't recall, he/she is the openly homosexual Episcopal Bishop from New England).
I couldn't agree more!
Actually, a decision made by Jesus the Christ. This man/God was so unconventional that he commanded his followers to "love your enemies." It is the modern apostates who are prostrate before the mores of the moment, not Jesus.
I believe the Episcopal Church and the Church of England are separate administrative units. One of the issues here is that the C of E is now, apparently, going to accept US Episcopalian parctices that it had formerly rejected.
Granted, they are ultimately the same church, but a lot of more conservative Anglicans in England liked to maintain this fiction that somehow the Episcopal Church was just radical, extreme, and didn't really reflect "their" church. But of course it did, which is what they are now being forced to admit.
This is a good, fair and just decision by the Angelicans.
It is reflective of the fact that women are just as educated and just as capable as men in the year 2008. This was not the case when these "rules" were written (by men and for men)a thousand years ago.
Women can and will continue in the role of spiritual leaders.... And, for any churh to admonish them for it is a sad sad thing that reflects "blind following" as oppossed to "informend leading".
I'm open to whomever speaks for goodness, kindness, and holds the 10 commandments to be a good guide for humanity. Shouldn't matter if this person is black, white, orange,man or woman.....
Good for you. To what church do you belong?
Is it possible to just post the links as separate threads and I'll ping them.
Interesting times we are living in and the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI keeps getting more and more interesting every day.
As the Italians say - Cent' Anni! - may he live to be 100!
This was not the case when these rules were written (by men and for men)a thousand years ago.
But these "rules" were not "written by men"
They were written by God
Raised Catholic, but hesitant to raise my two adopted daughters in what feels like such an "antiquated" religion. They obviously do a great deal of good, but I'd like to see them modernize (allow Priests/Nuns to marry, embrace more modern family planning methods, pound on polititions and governments that subsidize abortion...etc).
Perhaps I'll join the Angelicans! :)
The bad news for "the girls" is that they'll have no congregation! The Church of England has more chiefs than indians and is bleeding members rapidly. Numbers attending church are minuscule and still dropping. The "girls" will be having nothing more than a nice fancy dress party with close family.
The C of E is on a death watch and about to go to Davy Jones' locker. All sensible individuals are now heading for the lifeboats.
Now the Catholic Church needs to allow women in that role.
We can't dearie. Somebody has to look after all the new Anglican converts, don't they?. Also, maybe you missed this; Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, "On Preserving Priestly Ordination to Men Alone". It's a done deal.
Probably the best course of action would be for the women priest advocates to hook up with the C of E before it implodes.
>>>>But these rules were not written by men
They were written by God>>>
No. They were written by men...interpreting for God...and therefore reflect the customs of the the day...1500 years ago. Only a few men could read or write...no women ...only men led everything...no women. No man 1500 years ago would have dreamed that women would be college educated equals in the year 2008!
So! We're lucky! Now both sexes can give spiritual guidence and mentoring in a society that desperataly needs it!
>>>>>The "girls" will be having nothing more than a nice fancy dress party with close family.>>>>
>>>>We can't dearie>>>>
Sad for you....you're just seething with condecension for women....
It's a new and better world than we had 1500 years ago when only men were allowed schooling. We need both Men and Women to help us and our children through the moral challanges that this and future years will present.
Right, but they are part of the same world Anglican body. Which is why some Episcopal churches is the US have put themselves under the direction of their African brothers, like Bishops in Rwanda, for instance are head of some Episopal churches here - Canterburry is none too happy about it - but that's a good thing.
Wow...so you get to decide to arbitrarily ignore pieces of scripture that you don't agree with, huh? You might want to look up the name "Marcion"...
Au contraire. Women are the flowers of God's creation, who bear and raise our children, bring love to the home and without whom, life would simply cease. Here, read the beautiful things which Pope John Paul II said to women in this letter. It says it far better than I ever could.
My condescension is reserved for those who think the Church is simply an Oprah-like, self-affirmation group which is there do do our bidding.
Its a new and better world than we had 1500 years ago when only men were allowed schooling. We need both Men and Women to help us and our children through the moral challanges that this and future years will present.
Indeed we do. That doesn't logically imply priesthood for women, though. Read what St. Paul says about the Mystical Body of Christ. Not all are prophets, not all are teachers........each has his or her own role in the building up of the Church. Men have a role as do women. True in the family and true in the Church. Our roles are complementary
Anyway, don't take my word for it. Pull up a chair, sit back and watch as the women-ordaining, homosexual-blessing Anglican Church splinters even further, shrivels and then vanishes.
(Of course, being Catholic, I draw the line at Orangemen in any event.)
For Catholics, your statement, Happy, is as much an ecclesiological statement as one about equity. You are suggesting that 1,000, 1,500, or almost 2,000 years ago God decided to abandon the Church to a systemic unfairness which only now "in these latter days" He has finally seen fit to address.
I'm not making this comment as an argument against what you are saying, but rather to sort of lay out some of the different attitudes one can have toward what might seem to be a simple issue of "gender equity".
Also, for us, while goodness, kindness, and the 10 commandments ought to be integral to the teaching of the Church, teaching is not the only thing the Church does, in our humble opinion.
We think that through the ordained ministry and especially through bishops and priests she actually serves as a conduit for Divine graces. Yes, it's outrageous, but it's what we think.
Those whose views and analyses of things are informed by dialectical materialism may tend to see the roles of missionary (apostle), supervisor (bishop), elder (priest), servant (deacon) primarily in terms of power and control. And certainly there are plenty of instances where authority has been degraded to mere power, and pastoral concern has been reduced to mere control.
But to see the structure of the Church and of Holy Orders in merely economic or political terms is to miss what is truly there.
It's sort of like what I am told Kant said of marriage: that it was a contract for the mutual abuse of bodies. To which we can only say, "Well, yeah, sort of, I kind of see what you mean ...." But the idea of matrimony as a conduit of grace and a school of Charity is totally missing from that superficial account.
Further, to think that we humans, in our present state, personally and culturally, know all we need to know about sex and gender is, I think, ludicrous! We are mysteries to ourselves, to members of our own sex, and certainly to those of the extreme opposite sex.
Look around you, for crying out loud! 80 years ago, when artificial birth control was finally finding approval in our culture, the old fuddy-duddies were saying, "It will lead to the approval of homosexuality, "and they were mocked. 30 years ago, as the Episcopalians were approaching the approval of the ordination of women, the old fuddy-duddies were saying, "It will lead to the approval of homosexuality, "and they were mocked.
Then it turned out that among the women seeking ordination were lesbians, and among the bishops agitating for the ordination of women were practicing homosexuals. And within a few short years, we got, well, Vicky Gene! And a man who frankly trashed his marriage vows and left his wife and daughters in search of a homosexual love was touted to us all as "a WONDERFUL pastor." His later startled discovery that he suffered from alcoholism as well as perversion has not seemed to have any effect whatsoever on his reputation as a wise, wonderful, and holy man.
And think of his daughters, like the daughter of the ate Bishop Paul Moore of New York, proponent of female and homosexual ordination and active homosexual adulterer. "Well, yes, Daddy did leave us, did cheat on Mommy, did prefer sexual gratification before his duty to his children, and sometimes we missed him terribly, but he is, after all, a VERY holy man."
All through this, who has paid? Who ALWAYS pays? The children. Molech is a hungry God who may count himself blessed in his worshippers, eager as they are to sacrifice their children to fulfill their desires.
As the acceptance of homosexuality, divorce, artificial birth-control, and "keeping house" without matrimony has risen, so has the rate of illegitimacy and the commoditization of children generally.
Now that children are a "life-style choice", selective abortion is being practised and perfectly healthy children murdered because they are the "wrong" sex.
Yes, yes, I know this LOOKS like "post hoc ergo propter hoc." But when a lesbian "priest" in the Episcopal Church decides to get herself artificially inseminated with a kind of vile soup made from mixing semen donated by three different men so that it won't be clear who the resulting child's father is,
that is, when an allegedly Christian minister purposefully sets out to have an orphan,
when any kind of a Christian puts herself in a situation such that if her child should ever ask, "Why don't I have a father like the other children do?" the only answer would be, "Because I didn't WANT you to have a father!" and when the so-called "Church" tolerates that selfish cruelty,
then I think we have all the proof we need that we do not understand sex and gender and that we force the innocent and helpless to pay for our proud experimentation.
It may seem archaic. It may seem something an old fuddy-duddy would say. But it is just possible that the Lord whose followers included women, whose Resurrection was first reported by woman, and whose Holy Mother was with the apostles at the first Pentecost of the new covenant ... it is just possible that He made apostles of men only for reasons other and more profound than power politics.
>>>>>Wow...so you get to decide to arbitrarily ignore pieces of scripture that you dont agree with, huh? You might want to look up the name Marcion...>>>>
Silly response to a valid discussion of the changes in our world in the last 1500 years.
I'm sure God will welcome anyone and everyone that would like to preach His scripture and be a moral compass in complex society. You can call them "ministers" or "priests" or "pastors" or bishops" or whatever you like....but without question, God will welcome all men and women in this role.
Men make rules to exclude others....God is all inclusive.
You keep repeating 1500 years ago like it is relevant to something.
Well, we "seething with condescension" lay Dominicans think that women have been doing that for a mighty long time, and we hold in especial esteem Catherine of Siena who gave right much mentoring and spiritual guidance to the Pope, among others. She died in 1380, I think.
Serious question - did you welcome the Oprah episode where the pregnant "man" was able to have a child, or did you see some weird crossing of natural sexual roles?
Gotta love the Angelicans!
Heh. Me, too.
The rest of your post? I completely agree. Men and women are so different, to deny those differences is a form of mental illness, imho. Rather, let us accept and love those differences, and thank God for giving us all that He has. As time goes on, I realize more and more that God has made us as we are because He loves us, and wants us to be happy.
That includes accepting the role He has chosen for us.
LOL! No kidding. :)
>>>>Serious question - did you welcome the Oprah episode where the pregnant man was able to have a child, or did you see some weird crossing of natural sexual roles?>>>
You apparently can't have or maintain an intellectual discussion of the cultural, educational, role changes that have taken place in the last 1500 or so years...and feel free to deginerate into this kind of nonsense.
Sad for you. It reflects on you...not on me.
Have a good day.
Wow, so your argument then holds for gays in the clergy too, doesn't it? If you can't see how it does, then I pity you.
It's 'cause when we die and see angels (in the angelican church) clearly for the first time, we will already have experienced rational creatures utterly unlike ourselves, so we'll sort of be prepared.
You gotta think these things through ....
Next week, Granpaw Mad Dawg explains how to lose weight.
But seriously. I forget when it first hit me that it's the kids who pay. But it just keeps on seeming to be true. Kids need us to try to act more or less properly. They really need it.
Many of the problems with our society today might be attributed to parents who don't know how to be responsible adults. Despite all of their protests, children really do want their parents to be in charge, and together.
>>>>Wow, so your argument then holds for gays in the clergy too, doesnt it? If you cant see how it does, then I pity you.>>>
Gays have been around for the entire history of all churches and most congregations welcome them without endorsing nor encouraging their life-styles. All we can do is act in a Christian manner to ALL our fellow men and women.
Anyone who thinks they can support gay clergy or acceptance of homosexuality in the church is ignoring scripture and standing in opposition to God's Word and Christian orthodoxy.
I don't think anyone on this thread is advocating acting in an unchristian manner.
>>>>But these rules were not written by men
They were written by God>>>
No. They were written by men...interpreting for God...
Then you and I disagree.
I don't know the nuts and bolts of it, but doesn't the split (or whatever) date from the American Revolution . . . the British Crown being the head of the Anglican Church and all?
But yeah. The Sovereign is supreme governor of the C of E -- but of course the sovereign has less and less power and so that's less and less meaningful. But it was pretty meaningful in the 1780s.
And there was some resentment in England, you know, over our rebellion and all that, koff koff.
So the US Church, once it had secured what it considered to be valid Episcopal orders, set up its own polity, rather like that of the Articles of Confederation.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Lineagen, a molecular diagnostics company, and Fast Forward, a nonprofit subsidiary of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, are joining forces to develop a test for multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal of the program is to develop a test that can aid clinicians in diagnosing MS and provide the prognostic information needed to help guide treatment decisions and response to therapies.
Under terms of the sponsored research agreement, Fast Forward is committing $622,000 to establish and validate an array of biomarkers for MS, including genes associated with predisposition to the disease and blood-based markers that have diagnostic and prognostic potential. The funding will support an ongoing clinical program that is being conducted under the teams of John W. Rose, M.D., professor of neurology at the University of Utah and Mark Leppert, Ph.D., professor of human genetics at the University of Utah.
Lineagen, based in Salt Lake City, is focused on diagnostic and consultative services for complex genetic disorders. The company is working on a test for chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and has one commercial product, FirstStepDx, for autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
FirstStep is an integrated genetic testing, counseling, and developmental screening service to aid in the clinical evaluation of children with ASD or other forms of developmental delay. FirstStep must be ordered by a doctor and use the provided collection kit, which includes an oral collection swab; blood collection kits are also available for circumstances in which a buccal sample is either undesirable or impossible. The Affymetrix CytoScanTM HD Array, used in FirstStepDx, has exceptionally dense DNA probe coverage across the whole genome, according to Lineagen.

Impact of Artificial Reverberation on Perceived Sound Localization During a Headphone Listening Task
A commercially available acoustic simulation software with integral normalized Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) was utilized to create virtual sound spaces, reverberation, and auralization. Four men and four women with self-reported normal hearing were tested individually in a room specifically designed for audiological research. Stimuli were presented via headphones and subjects responded via a custom Graphical User Interface (GUI). Azimuth had a significant effect on all of the dependent variables. Gender differed significantly with respect to distance judgement. Room type significantly affected elevation judgement. In addition, there were interactions between gender and azimuth (azimuth judgement), room and reverberation type (distance judgement), and reverberation type and azimuth (distance judgement).

mine says:
The day you deliver, outside will be overcast. Your baby will arrive in the late afternoon. After a labor lasting approximately 10 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and will be 18 inches long. This child will have light green eyes and curly blonde hair.
I hope my next labor is only 10 hours, my last one was 27!

When trying to complete my Ubuntu 12.04.1 install I recently received the error message: "The file system type fat32 cannot be mounted on /home, because it is not a fully-functional Unix file system. Please choose a different file system, such as ext2." Is it possible to select the ext4 file system for this /home mount, continue with the full Ubuntu install and then change the /home mount to the NTFS file system using the GParted application? The intent of this partition is to enable file sharing between Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Thanks in advance.
No, most of the system directories including

Keep in mind that EXT4 is open source, but NTFS driver was created by reverse-engineering. Which of course isn't bad, but I personally trust source code more.

Internship providers (other than government agencies and not-for-profit agencies) are required by federal law to either pay or award academic credit to their interns. Compensation must be at least minimum wage or equal out to minimum wage per hour if payment comes in the form of a stipend. Be aware that many states set their own minimum wage requirements. The State of Florida minimum wage is $8.05 per hour.
Students interested in receiving academic credit toward their major for their internships should contact their academic advisor. The Toppel Career Center offers credit through the Toppel Internship Program, in the form of a one-credit transcript notation. Employers that have listed their internship as for-credit are aware that it is the responsibility of the student to facilitate the credit-granting process.

When Lamon Brewster stepped out of the ring at the Mandalay Bay on Saturday night after beating Wladimir Klitschko by TKO in the fifith round for the vacant WBO heavyweight title, he did it without his mentor Bill Slayton, who passed away last October.
When Slayton, who trained Ken Norton in the 1970s, passed away at the age of 81, Brewster lost more than just a trainer.
"I lost a father. I feel like my manhood was brought out by him," Brewster told MaxBoxing.com before the fight. "I was out here alone and he took me in, but his spirit is still with me and inside me."
Brewster came to Los Angeles from Indianapolis in the early '90s and was soon united with Slayton, who for years had owned the Broadway Gym on 108th Street and Broadway, in the heart of the inner city. And while Slayton is no longer with Brewster physically, the fighter says he feels his trainer/mentor's presence daily.
"It's almost like the story of 'Star Wars' when Luke Skywalker lost his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi," Brewster explained. "He lost him, but Obi-Wan became more powerful because he came with spirit. Obi-Wan was able to guide Luke and for me it's sorta that same thing. It's like [Bill will] be in there fighting with me that night. It's going to be a glorious night for L.A., man."
Part of keeping Slayton's legacy alive isn't just confined to winning a heavyweight title like Norton did, but in making sure that Slayton's gym is kept up and running for years to come. Brewster feels as though the responsibility lies on him and his trainer, Shadeed Suluki.
"Yes, I do feel that way because I was the last of Bill's protégés and Shadeed was one of the last of Bill's great protégés in terms of trainers," Brewster said. "And you know, man, I think anybody would just assume that position or that responsibility because that gym has helped so many people not even in boxing but just to be able to come up there and get their frustrations out, so that they didn't go out and hurt nobody or just give them time, where when they got out of school, instead of being out there hanging on those corners, they're out there in the gym, trying to direct their life."
What Brewster says is true. There are countless gyms across the country and the world and their biggest contribution to society isn't measured in how many world champions they produce but in providing a safe haven and refuge for those looking for direction and focus in their lives outside the ropes. Asked to describe the surrounding area of the gym, Suluki says bluntly: "It's in the 'hood, it's in the ghetto." But the lesson learned inside these walls, are easily applied to the outside world.
"You learn discipline. I mean if you learn to box in the ring, you're not going to walk the streets and think you're tough, man, you're going to be humble," Brewster points out. "That gym has done so much for people that if Bill wouldn't have put his heart into it, the crime rate in that area, in
this city, would be much higher. And so, because he has passed on and because he has instilled good things in me, I feel it's only fitting to try to keep that gym going on."
Years ago, Broadway Gym was bustling with activity. Alongside the Main Street Gym, Hoover Street Gym and the Teamsters Gym, it was one of the main centers of activity in Southern California. When I happened to drop by there a few years ago, sadly, it was like a boxing ghost town, with nothing left but memories and Slayton in the facility.
Nowadays, gyms such as Freddie Roach's Wild Card Boxing Club, La Brea Boxing Academy and LA Boxing are the main hubs. Broadway had fallen far behind, partly because of Slayton's advancing age and declining health. But it was also because of his generosity.
"I think it was Bill's heart, he had such a soft heart," said Suluki, who now runs the gym for the Slayton family. "Bill was the type of guy that would give you his last, I don't care who you are, and I think that's what happened, his kindness."
But a renaissance is taking place at the gym.
"Things have changed," Suluki said. "The attendance is up and it's getting better. We've made a few changes. We cleaned up the gym; we got rid of some things. There's still some things that need to be done to it now and we're in the process of doing it as we go on. A lot of old equipment we got rid off, kinda cleaned it up, trying to get the rings together, things like that."
And the goal of both Slayton protégés is simple.
"To get it back to the way it was before," Suluki says. "Man, it was a top-notch gym, everybody wanted to come here. When they came to L.A., they wanted to come to Broadway. It was clean, roomy; it's a nice gym. It's a big gym."
And now Broadway, which was the focus of a pretty sizable story in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks back, is beginning to fill up once again.
"We're starting to get people who want to know how they can help, whether it's donate something to the gym or just come to the gym, show their face, all that, all that right there helps to just promote the gym," says Brewster, whose media day took place at the gym two weeks ago. "When you get some of these celebrities that say, 'Yeah, I could go to Hollywood, those fancy gyms, but I come over to Broadway and I'll just show my face, maybe just hit the bags and it don't have to be every day.' But man, what that does for a kid, to be able to see somebody that they see on TV, they're like, 'Wow, he does it, I can do it'. That just promotes positivity, man."
Now Broadway will have a heavyweight champion calling the place his home.
I was watching the late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" about six weeks ago when promoter Don King made one of his frequent appearances on the program. King had been in town to promote this show and had done a news conference earlier that afternoon. Kimmel showed a clip from the press conference of a highly emotional Brewster talking about this fight and what it meant, not only to his career, but his life. To him, this was life-and-death and he knew everything was on the line.
As he finished his passionate address to the media, he knock the microphone off its stand and stormed off the stage, where he had to be subdued by members of his camp. Kimmel and his audience seemed to be amused by his outburst. Having known Lamon, though, I found it not only eye-opening but touching that this fight meant that much to him.
In the past, his detractors have said he was devoid of that kind of emotion and passion to really succeed in this business. To many, he was too much Grant Hill and not enough Allen Iverson, or too Wayne Brady instead of Dave Chappelle or an obedient German shepard in a sport where only pit bulls thrive.
"I've heard that before," said Brewster. "It's like this: I'm the type of person that what I do in the ring is without thought, without feeling, there's no conscience. So when I'm in the ring, that's a different story. Even when I spar, I don't spar to 100 percent because what's the use of proving that you're the best in the gym? Nobody can ever say I've ever gotten in a fight, whether I've won or lost and said 'Oh, he's fighting soft, he's too nice.'
"Outside the ring, that's not my place of business. Outside the ring is where I conduct myself as a child of God as a man, and when I'm in the ring, I'm at the business table. I'm there to do a deal, I'm there to handle my business. So that's the way I look at it and it's just the on and off switch."
But there is one placid performance that he would like to forget, which was his desultory 10-round loss to Charles Shufford in October of 2000 on HBO's "KO Nation," which came shortly after his first pro loss months earlier against Clifford Etienne. Against Shufford, it seemed that Brewster was there physically, but his mind was someplace else. He agrees with that and he adds that he made things even tougher on himself by cutting too much weight.
"I didn't have the proper understanding, I didn't have nobody standing on me, trying to show me how to eat properly," Brewster recalls. "I was just trying to talk to people in the weight gym. But to lift weights and pose muscles is different between needing energy to burn for 10, 12 rounds. So I lost so much weight so fast, that yeah, I looked good when I got in the ring, but man, I was like, 'Whoa.'"
He'd have only one fight in 2001, actually spending most of that calendar year sparring regularly at Roach's gym in Hollywood. I'd see him on many occasions that summer and as he would trudge into the gym wearily, I wondered if he was long for this game. Many times, it just didn't seem as
though his heart was really in it.
"To me, I look at everything from a God standpoint. I say God was testing my faith, he was testing my will, to see how much I wanted it. He gave me this gift; he gave me this talent to be this fighter. But sometimes, he tests us to see what you really want. And so when I was in that gym, I said 'OK, I don't have a fight, but y'know what? I get the opportunity to be in the ring with James Toney who I think of as one of the greatest fighters of all-time to spar with Francois Botha and Jeremy Williams. Y'know man, I was getting the opportunity to get to box with these guys every single day.
"Where as you can't even go to a training camp and get that kind of sparring. So I looked at that like 'Man, that was opportunity for me'. So I just tried to use that opportunity to just better myself and let God see that I am in this to win this. My heart is here, I'm just not going to train
when I got a fight."
It's safe to assume that those sparring sessions were his toughest bouts, as his last four bouts coming into this fight with "Darth Klitschko" haven't exactly come against "Murderer's Row," as he's knocked out palookas like Nate Jones, Willie Chapman, Tommy Martin and Joe Lenhart. Not only does Brewster lack a huge quantity of fights in recent years, the quality isn't so great.
But none of that concerned him.
"Nah, man, it won't worry me going into this fight," he said beforehand. "I've had plenty of sparring, great sparring partners and you got to realize that when you're fighting for your life, it's not about activity, it's about desire, man. This is a situation where it ain't about what I've done in the past,
it's about what I do next Saturday."
For Brewster, it's all or nothing.
"It is," he confirms. "It's each fighter's goal to fight for a world title. At my age, at this stage, I think it's my time. I look at it as make or break because I don't see too much for me if I don't win this title."
That's not a problem he'll have to deal with now.
I'll say it right now, I'd love to see Augustus fight the likes of Miguel Cotto, Juan Diaz, Javier Jauregui, Francisco Bojado and Arturo Gatti. I know his 23 losses would scare off HBO, but I'm sure Dan Rafael can talk them into it.
Get to work, Dano; I want those fights.
With his recent hot streak and his dozen losses, David Lopez is now officially a "Mexican Pendleton" y'know, a Mexican fighter who has more than his share of L's on his record, but is extremely dangerous to anyone he comes across and continues to win and improve. Lopez, with his ninth-round KO of the formerly undefeated Jerson (Un)Ravelo, is now a dark horse in the middleweight division.
This distinction, of course, is named after "Fearless" Freddie Pendleton, who before becoming a champion was a .500 fighter after about the first 50 fights of his professional career.
Other "Mexican Pendletons" include guys like Orlando Salido, Cruz Carbajal, Oscar Andrade, Victor Burgos and Jauregui.
Final flurries
I dunno, but do you really think Frank Warren puts Ricky Hatton in there against the still-sharp-as-a-tack Sharmba Mitchell? Seeing is believing. ... By the way, shouldn't Ed Derian be the ring announcer for the big fights in England if they're going to announce the guys twice? Speaking of Mitchell, it's not a Mitchell fight unless he slips and falls onto the canvas. That guy takes more flops than Vlade Divac. ... Hey, how about David Lopez for Jermain Taylor? Or does he have too much of a pulse for Lou DiBella? Speaking of which, sources tell me that Taylor's promotional contract with DiBella runs out in December.... Which reminds me, I hear that Ricardo Williams dropped another fight this past weekend, this time to Manning Galloway. Williams is now 9-2 and if this keeps up should apply for a job at "Wac Arnold's" pretty soon. ... In the past, I've compared Williams to Benoit Benjamin, but it seems that was an insult to Benjamin (who by the way, was once repped by Don King). I guess a comparison to Chris Washburn would be more apt.-->

Barre man is shot before gunman fleesMark Collier / Staff Photo
Mark Collier / Staff Photo An unidentified male speaks with Barre City Police at the scene of a shooting Thursday evening on Brooklyn Street in Barre. One person was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center with unknown injuries.
BARRE – Police are searching for a man who shot another man in the shoulder on Brooklyn Street Thursday evening.
The injury to Seth Parry, 20, is not said to be life-threatening. An eyewitness told police that as he and Parry were walking by an apartment building at 59 Brooklyn Street, a man dressed all in black and wearing a mask yelled to Parry saying, "Hey, woman beater."
The two men then started grappling with each other, according to the witness, who said the gun then went off and the masked man fled on foot.
The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. and police were questioning five people outside the residence shortly after the incident. A police dog was brought out as police searched the scene for evidence.MORE IN Central Vermont

I have a strong passion for underwater photography; I enjoy the process of capturing images in this challenging environment, understanding the effect on light under the surface, exploring the remote environment at depth, and then bringing the visual image to those who do not understand such places brings great satisfaction. The sharing of experiences with those that do partake in life below the surface which can later be recalled is very enjoyable.
I have used my enthusiasm for underwater photography to develop a portfolio website: www.fatfishphoto.com.au and a number of photo books. I intend on adding to these methods of sharing my work through exhibition and further printed works.
As a qualified scuba instructor I have the opportunity to share my knowledge and photography techniques through teaching Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) courses in Digital Underwater Photography. I continually strive to enhance my appreciation of photographic technique and culture in order to achieve a greater understanding which I can share with fellow divers and photographers.

Very randomly following links I've been hitting a lot of upgraded blogs - as you'd expect.
On a couple, I noticed cryptic stuff like "Yea well followed this guide but things went to crap but I fixed it" or posts such as "Ran into a few issues but caught them. Will watch to see if others do". I've left a couple of polite comments - if you see similar, if you don't want to comment there, please drop me an email.
Do not post their url here and say anything negative though.
I'd just like to gather as much knowledge for people as we can.

AbstractSignificant advances in several key technologies such as material sciences, manufacturing, miniaturization, and active flow control suggest that the time has come to address the issue of affordable General Aviation (GA). These new technologies when combined with advanced avionics and propulsion concepts will make GA affordable and ecologically sustainable. With a greater ease of vehicle operation, GA can become available to a much larger clientele and provide strong impulses for the aerospace industry. When a large number of new technologies are combined in a revolutionary way, validation of the entire system at the design and development stage becomes highly desirable. We propose building and flight testing a dynamically scaled model of NASA's GA demonstrator that will feature many important elements of the new GA concept.
