Hey Guys & Gals!
Thanks for coming by and viewing my store:
There are many I mean many clips to view..
Karla Nelson In a eye popping posing video. 5' 10" with 171/2" rock
solid high Peaked biceps, 18+" calves and ripped 27+" quads at 205lbs..Karla is by far in a class all her own!!!
Karla was at the Mass Muscle Mansion, and while there her and Mass Muscle Ed realized that it was her 10th year working with Mass Muscle.
Being that Karla was Mass Muscle's first lady, we decided that all of you should see just how much Karla has progressed in the last 10 years. Without any imagination, Karla has gotten bigger then ever before, especially her calves!! Her calves measured almost 18" and I do mean quality, ripped inches.
Karla has a body that no one can beat, she has HUGE size and freaky striations, and this being all year round! She is never out of shape and heavy by any means and is always RIPPED. The videos begins with an interview with Karla, as she tells you about her career in both bodybuilding and her wrestling.
During her interview her muscle's bulge and flex for you and, she is just sitting still!! Then the muscles really begin to bulge, as Karla shows off her muscularity indoors, outdoors, in the bedroom (oiling her massive muscles) and all of this in some mouth watering outfits that will leave you with nothing left!!
Karla by far has the most muscular glut's in the world, the only one that came close to her was Yvonne McCoy (who I miss deeply) and Tawanda Smith who is also one of a kind.
You will love this video of Karla posing and flexing and turning you on. Some unreal close-up action also is exciting to view!!.This video is 30 minutes long of non-stop posing and unreal display of muscle. Karla loves to please you and is exciting to watch as ever, her muscles will leave you awestruck...
Karla Nelson 5'10" 200 lbs Bodybuilder, Wrestler
Kathy 5'9" 175lbs Fitness, wrestler
Over an argument about mass muscle ed, Kathy and Karla go at it, Karla being paid by ed to hurt Kathygoes all out to do so.
Kathy is beaten up allot in this video but she is very strong and tough and doesn't give up easily.
Two great muscular hard body ladies going at it, A real turn on!!

I'll forgive you for buying a Husky if we get a few pics and perhaps a vid of that 562XP shredding wood. (I'm a closet 562XP fan. )
Great opportunity you have to test drive those splitters. Timberwolf is widely regarded as one of if not the best in the business. As you've already seen, their machines are over the top with a price tag to match. Having the I & O to test drive will prove just how much splitter $2K will buy.
As far as your chain goes most safety chains out there today cut pretty decent so long as the nose of the bar isn't buried in the wood. For replacements, I'd try to get a couple Stihl 33RSC-72 chains for that saw. Don't worry, the better chain won't bite you, IMO it's just as "safe" as what you're running now, kinda like a sharp knife being safer than a dull one. And nobody will tease you for running Stihl chain on a Husky (Common practice around here and other chainsaw fan sites). The best chains for one of the best 60cc saws out there.
For a 24" bar I'd stick with the Stihl chain (33RSC-84 I believe, the number of links may be different but the chain type should always be 33RSC) on a Oregon Powermatch bar. (Oregon makes Husky's OEM bars.) Maybe explore a lightweight bar option for a 24" on a 562XP?
Read the data on the bar. gotta know if it's .050 or .058. gauge (width of chain grove). (most common is .050)
The specs for .050 & .058 are both 3/8 pitch (some call it .375)
Then you need how many Drive Links are on the chain. (Usually a Husq 20" is 72 DL)
I like a full (round) chisel for fast cutting if your saw has enough power to run it (AND YOURS DOES)!
Stihl popular full chisel number# : 33 RS 72 (for my 20" Husq which is a .050 gauge )
(the first # , (3) is 3/8" pitch-- 2nd # (3) is .050 ( **if your bar is .058 this # will be a 5 **)
R is chain type (Sthil Rapid) , the S is cutter shape -- S for chisel. (This is sometimes followed by a special identifier for various chains) & 72 for number of Drive links
Popular Oregon chain is the LGX full chisel : 72LGX-72 (first 72 is .050 gauge, LGX full chisel, the 72 for the number of drive links)
If your bar is .058 then 73LGX + number of Drive links)
LPX is also a good Oregon chain, some anti kick back features but a full chisel
Reference for your saw at Oregon: select your saw for Oregon PN:
If I had one of those new 562XP's,I'd stick a 28" .050 gauge bar on it w/ Oregon 72JGX93 DL Full Skip chain & be done with it.
Husky Techlite bars. Really nice, but expensive.
Are those the same as Oregon Reduced Weight bars with a different name? Center milled out,filled with aluminum for 25% weight reduction.Around $150 for 28" last I checked.Not supposed to take any abuse,easier to 'flex' & bend I've heard.
I have switched to northwood saw.....they have good prices on carleton chain and the shipping is reasonable
I think they are 130 for 28" at bailey's. 25% lighter than a traditional bar.
No, I don't think so. I've got one on order, but I won't be home to use it till September. The reading I've done over on AS seem to suggest that they are a good product. I do believe they are aluminum filled as you suggest, but I've seen nothing about flex or bending. They are $130 through Baileys, I said they were expensive. $100 for a 20".
I'll be glad to give a full report in September if you'd like. I'm getting the 20" for my 365xt(probably wouln't flex like a 28"). I'm fairly new to felling(just started a couple years ago with my 450), so I haven't cut anything big enough to need a 28" bar. I'm getting there though. Pratice and Patience.
Happy Father's day to all the dads out there.
I spent ~1.5 hours Friday and ~2.5 hours yesterday. Have everything cut except a couple of ~24" x ~8' logs, and that one big 45" round. Have run 3 tanks of gas through the saw I think. Touched up the chain once. With a little luck, I'll finish up today in a couple more hours. The hardest part about working with the big wood is moving it around, worrying about the shifting pile, etc. I noodled a couple of the bigger rounds just to be able to move them around. No doubt I would be done already if this was a nice pile of medium sized straight logs. If I finish up today, I will try and reserve the log splitter next weekend.
That one large round, that the saw is sitting on in the pic above is going to be an issue. its 45" diameter and ~36"thick. Looks like its where the main trunk transitions to 3 larger branches, so its going to be tough cutting. Its heavy enough I can barely move it..I'll figure something out!
A guy down the street from me had some log length delivered. I was very jealous of his stack, looks to be 6-7 cords of long, straight, 16-24" logs. Then I found out he paid like 3x what i paid.
Have you decided on Splitter?? Happy Fathers Day..
Well.....went out to finish up cutting today. Made 3 or 4 cuts in one of the 24" x 8' logs, shut the saw off to roll it over and finish off the cut. Couldn't get it started back up....Been running the same gas since I brought it home, also in my blower and weed wacker. I followed the manual for a warm start, pulled the choke lever up then pushed it down, hit the decompression lever, hit the primer a couple times..gave her a pull, nothing, pull pull pull, nothing. Let it sit for 30 minutes, did it again, nothing. Pulled the plug, nice and dry. Put it back in, tried again, nothing....hmmmmmmmm......
In an earlier post...I noted about my BIL 562 being a PITA to start, now that its had a few tanks ran through it and is about broken in....
I have had 4 Husqvarnas and all start with 4 pulls (1 or 2 w/ choke on, and1 or 2 w/o choke).
We had to pull the plug, to dry it out and then re-install and remove the air filter (easy breathing). Then it fires right up (after about 20 minutes of messing with it). Its a fantastic saw when it runs.
Hmmm, doesnt sound flooded.
If you only had it shut down for a short time, I wouldn't mess with the choke. Just flip the on switch and it should start with one pull.
Thats what I did at first, but then when it didn't start, I went and grabbed the manual. When I couldn't get it going, I went to the backyard and played with the kids (4.5 little girl, 11 month little boy), let it sit for a half hour and tried again, then gave up. Will give it a try when I get home from work tomorrow. If I still have issues, I'll stop by dealer Tuesday morning...
He pulled the choke, then pushed it down (doesn't that turn the choke off and only run the saw at 1/3-1/4 throttle?)
I start mine with or without doing that (pulling choke, then switching off). They all start 1st pull after hot. Even if they have been off for about an hour, they still fire.
My Bro-in-Law is gonna take his in. Its really a PITA. No matter who has tried..... This auto-tune, may need some tuning?
That 20 ton Iron and Oak, or a 22 ton Huskee will handle everything for you. If you get the occasional log that is way too big, just noodle it into halves and quarters.
I would have gone with the Huskee 22 but found a 35 ton Huskee that was stored away brand new seven years ago. It had never even had gasoline put into it. Looked like it was on the showroom. I bought it for $1000. Added gas. Fired right up on the second pull. 35 tons is overkill for my needs but I couldn't pass up the deal.
I agree about the Iron & Oak log splitters. Top notch quality and American made. Some here as well: http://www.woodsplittersdirect.com/index.php?cPath=2 Good reviews on the Tanaka chain saws as well.
Couldn't get the 562 to start today when I got home from work. Pressed the decompression, pushed the primer bulb, pulled the choke up, gave it a couple pulls, nothing, not even an attempt to start. Put the choke down, gave it several pulls, still nothing, pulled the choke back up, gave it several pulls, nothing....Usually, when the choke is up, I give a pull or two until I hear the saw want to start, then put it down, I am getting nothing at all. So, back to the dealer I go....
This is unfortunate......hopefully the dealer gets it squared away quickly for you
Bummer, hope it's a simple fix.
Like the gas tank is empty LOL
Keep us posted with what they find.
New saw needs a review.
Not saying this is your problem, but I always have problems using up the last of the "winter" gas in my chainsaws when warm weather hits. My observation is the same as yours, in that the saw will be running fine until I shut it down, and then I can't get it started again. Usually a 30 minute cool-down is all it takes to get going again (good reason to always carry two saws!), but it seems that's not your luck this time.
Around here, seems they're selling gas with a lower boiling point in winter than what they sell in the summer months. It causes no trouble for my string trimmer or handheld leaf blower, and is never a problem for any engine with fuel injection, but wreaks havoc on my chainsaws. I can actually hear that fuel boiling in the carburetor a few minutes after shutting a saw off. Once I get a fresh tank of summer fuel in there... no problems.
Yeah, I've been using my other saw as well as my stihl BR600 blower this spring. I mix a gallon at a time, so I am on my 3dr new gallon this year already...
Dropped it off at the dealer this morning, went over the starting procedure I used, he went in the back, came out about 10 minutes later and said "whatever it is, its not good, you have zero compression"....
is the decomp sticking

Alan Cumming
Travis Fine
Note to all: Alan Cumming would like you to know that there is no "S" at the end of his last name.
"In my comedy shows, I do a song," says the actor amid a sea of orange chairs at the Crosby Street Hotel's private movie theater, "I do my own little version called 'Cumming With a 'G'." He breaks into song: "Oh, it's Cumming with a 'G' not Cummings with an 'S'..." At this point, Travis Fine, who recently directed Cumming in Any Day Now, releases a loud laugh. We join because, well, how could we not? Cumming's humor is infectiously sarcastic, charming (the Scottish accent helps), and a bit immodest all at once. Simply put, to be around the 47-year-old actor is to laugh.
In Any Day Now, set in the 1970s, Cumming plays a character (Rudy) who by night performs in a drag show and by day cares for a teenager with Down Syndrome (Marco), whom he tries to adopt with help of his partner, a closeted DA office worker (Paul). When asked about the similarities between his own grandiose persona and that of his character, Cumming proclaims to be "a million miles away from him." He then adds, "I hope that I would be as decent and as strong as him in such ways, but the circumstances in his life are very different than mine."
We continued our chat with Cumming and Fine to learn more about the genesis of the screenplay, its weighty and powerful subject matter, and how the pair hope the film, which hits theaters December 14, will be received.
How did you find and adapt the script for Any Day Now?
TRAVIS FINE: I was looking for somebody else's script to direct. I put the word out to a bunch of friends and P.J. Bloom, who is my music supervisor and an old friend from high school, said, 'My dad wrote this film back in the late 1970s and it never got made. Do you want to read it?' I have a real love for '70s cinema, so I was excited about the possibility of making it a period piece. And then there were some elements to the script that I just wanted to bring to it as a filmmaker, [like] the Paul character that was not in the original script. I wanted to create a love story.
ALAN CUMMING: Travis spoke to my manager and agent and he just asked me to do it. I felt, on many levels, that it was an exciting prospect, because it's about something that I really feel strongly about. It also is an amazing and great character. To sing in that way and to have the songs be a part of the storytelling, it was an amazing overall experience.
How was it working with Isaac Leyva and Garret Dillahunt, who play Marco and Paul, respectively?
AC: Isaac was just a joy. I didn't know what to expect at all. I've never really known anyone with Down Syndrome, so I didn't know what to expect and what that would mean in terms of his day-to-day working. He was just enchanting. Enchanting! The first day that we met in rehearsal, he sang a song, looking into my eyes for the entire three or four minutes. It was a long Leona Lewis song. I fell in love with him. And Garret was immediately so open. Any scene where you have sexual action with someone, [you] always set out the ground rules. That never came up with Garret and I. It was just so easy, because we trusted each other.
Alan, how did you prepare for the role?
AC: I lost a little bit of weight because I realized that everyone was skinnier in the '70s. I read the script and tried to think of all the options and things like that. I don't really have a process. I try to keep it as simple as possible. That's why it's lovely to look at Isaac. He's completely in the moment and completely pure. His emotions were always available and genuine. That's what acting should be like.
How do you hope the film, and the story of this unconventional family unit, will be received?
TF: Hopefully it generates conversation and is something that provokes thought. It certainly takes place 30 years back. As we all know, there are things that are happening today that directly mirror. We have two executive producers who took seven years and a ton of money to defeat the state of Florida in winning the right to adopt the child that they had cared for and wanted to love. These are two men who have been partners for 20 plus years and have fostered 33 special needs children. Yet it took until they went to the highest court in Florida to get the right to be this child's parents.
AC: That's crazy. This film has won lots of audience awards at film festivals—loads of them—and only one of [them] was a gay film festival. People are really connected to it and obviously moved, even shaken, by it. It's perhaps a film that they wouldn't immediately think of matter-, issue- and subject-wise, but it transcends that.
What other projects are you working on?
AC: I'm on The Good Wife until March, and then I'm supposed to do Macbeth. I did it last summer and am going to do it again for a short run on Broadway.
TF: In May we start shooting the next film. It's an original that I wrote. It falls under a rock-and-roll dramedy. It's called The Chicks, for now. I might change that.

In our latest polling here at BJPENN.COM we asked our readers which upcoming main event you are most looking forward to.
With the UFC booking more shows than ever it's sometimes hard to keep track of all the fights we have coming up. Pay-per-views, FUEL TV, FX and FOX are all a part of the UFC's ever growing expansion and with that some of the best fights ever are scheduled for the upcoming months.
This is exactly why we wanted to know which fight, particularly, main event, you guys are most looking forward to watching.
After 2,781 votes were cast on our weekly poll, the fight the majority of you are most looking forward to is UFC 143's Georges St. Pierre vs. Nick Diaz. This fight in particular took the majority of the vote with 1,265 (45.5%). This proves, at least in theory, that the UFC is correct with their claims of GSP being their biggest draw.
Rounding out second place is none other than this month's UFC 141 main event between former champion, Brock Lesnar and newly signed UFC heavyweight, Alistair Overeem. The gargantuan main event took in 23.1% of fan votes (642 votes).
In third place, next weekend's Jones vs. Machida took in 16.3% of the votes (452 votes) and Frankie Edgar vs. Benson Henderson came in at fourth with 8.3% (231 votes).
Tomorrow night's main event between Michael Bisping and Jason Miller earned the fifth spot with 5.0% (138 votes), Aldo vs. Mendes cane in sixth with a meager 0.8% (23 votes), Guillard vs. Miller came in seventh with 0.6% (17 votes) and lastly, Melendez vs. Masvidal (Strikeforce) round out last place with 0.5% (13 votes).
All the fights listed are excellent matchups that I am sure everyone will enjoy, but when push comes to shove, the epic welterweight bout between GSP and Nick Diaz is the most anticipated bout in the upcoming months, and with good reason. Between the unpredictable antics of Nick Diaz and the dominating style of the champion, George St. Pierre, if your budget would only allow for one pay-per-view purchase, this would have to be it.
Thank you everyone who participated.

But so is noise.
Traveling alone for the first time, to a country where I literally could only say "hello," quickly brought up everything I had ever intentionally and unintentionally not considered, thought about, pondered, healed from, forgiven, laughed at, cried for, was hurt by, apologized for…
It forced me to be uncomfortable. To listen to my crazy thoughts, recognize them as crazy, and accept them… as crazy.
To not speak for days in a row, while surrounded by noise, is an enlightening thing.
Once the tide of silent acceptance rolls over you, you are peaceful, intact, whole, grounded, interconnected. But totally, happily, alone.
After a few days you learn to love the silence; it becomes your security blanket. Someone speaking your language seems rude and intrusive. Don't they know you're in deep, figuring all your shit out?!
The indistinguishable clamor of a foreign tongue becomes your peace, your white noise. Your meditation.
The silence forced upon me was one of the most important lessons of my life, and every now and then I yearn to be in a place where everything is strange and nothing makes sense and I can settle into being completely uncomfortably comfortable.

July 16, 2014
Minor League Update
Games of Tuesday, July 15
Prospect of the Night: Dylan Cozens, OF, Phillies (Lakewood, A-): 4-5, 2 R, 2 HR.
Best of the Rest
Alex Yarbrough, 2B, Angels (Arkansas, AA): 2-3, R, HR. Yarbrough can do some things very well, which, in the Angels system, makes him a top prospect. He has some major flaws, however—namely an extremely aggressive approach at the plate and not enough power to compensate for it. He has good gap power, but he's left his over-the-fence power behind since moving on from the California League. He should hit enough to get to the majors, but it's probably more of a utility profile as a hitter, which is a problem, because he doesn't have a utility profile defensively.
Maxwell Muncy, 1B, Athletics (Midland, AA): 2-4, R, HR. Yesterday in this space, I talked about how Max Muncy hasn't hit for enough power to be a first baseman since leaving the California League. Last night, Max Muncy homered for the second straight game. Max Muncy hates me. Or this could all just be a coincidence. Two in a row for Muncy is a good start, and he does need to hit for more power. Left-handed hitters with strong on-base skills do have a way of carving out major league roles, however, even with a limited profile. He's not an everyday first baseman, but there may be a role for him somewhere on a major league roster, and not just because he homered again last night. Note: I have him listed as Maxwell today, because that's how he's listed in our database, and I like when the links appear in the article.
Max Pentecost, C, Blue Jays (Vancouver, SS): 2-3, 2 R, 2B, K. Not that we were worried about such a thing, but yes, Pentecost can hit in Canada. He proved that on Tuesday in his first game off of the Blue Jays complex in Dunedin and since being promoted to short-season Vancouver. Pentecost did exactly what a top pick out of college should do in the GCL—hit extremely well—hitting .364 in 22 plate appearances. He's transitioning well and shouldn't have too much trouble with the Northwest League.
Malik Collymore, 2B, Cardinals (GCL, R): 2-3, R, 2B, K, SB. A 10th-round pick out of an Ontario high school in 2013, Collymore is repeating the GCL after struggling to make the transition last year. This season has gone much better and he's flashing some playable tools to go along with what is already a solid build. He's a good athlete for his size (well built, not tall) but needs refinement at second base. He has good bat-to-ball skills and pitch recognition. He's going to be a slow mover due to his limited baseball background growing up in Canada, but the potential for a nice player is there.
Rafael Rodriguez, OF, Giants (Augusta, A-): 2-3, 2 R, HR, BB. Here are the facts: Rodriguez got the biggest international bonus the Giants have ever given out in 2009. It took him until last year to reach full-season ball. He's 6-foot-5. Last night's home run was his 14th as a professional in 1,335 plate appearances. He has a career .298 on-base percentage. These are the facts, and they are undisputed.
Spencer Kieboom, C, Nationals (Hagerstown, A-): 3-4, 2 R, 2B. I saw Kieboom for a two-game stint two weeks ago and came away mildly intrigued. He's old for his level, which is why you need to take his .335 batting average with a grain of salt, and has a 45-to-8 K:BB ratio, which is why you need about another pound of salt to go on top, but he can do a few things. I went into more detail here.
David Dahl, OF, Rockies (Asheville, A-): 3-5, R, 3 2B, 2 K. Dahl is a doubles machine, now with 32 on the season. As prospects develop, both physically and mentally, some of those doubles tend to turn into home runs. That's a great sign for the Rockies.

Spencer Kieboom? That's really his name?

I like that you had 3 guys I hadn't heard of before today.
Jul 16, 2014 05:59 AM
How far along in the system do you think Pentecost gets to this year? High A ball?
Jul 16, 2014 06:13 AM
Dahl needs to be promoted soon, right? Can't wait to see him here in Tulsa, raking for the Drillers....

Astrud Gilberto, Astrud for Lovers (Verve)
Just in time for those lazy summer afternoons comes the Astrud Gilberto entry in Verve's new …For Lovers series, which also includes Ella Fitzgerald and Johnny Hartman among others. The title is redundant, of course, as all of Gilberto's best-known music is for lovers. This collection of twelve tracks recorded in the mid-to-late 1960s does not include "Girl From Ipanema" but does feature collaborations from fellow Brazilian jazz luminaries saxophonist Stan Getz and Gilberto's husband, guitarist/songwriter Joao on the favorite "Corcovado" and Rodgers and Hammerstein's "It Might as Well Be Spring". Astrud goes great with a hot sun, a cold drink and a little romance. Take away any of those elements, though, and her appeal fades before the end of even this relatively brief overview.

"If the Church were to accommodate herself to the world in any way that would entail a turning away from the Cross, this would not lead to a renewal of the Church, but only to her death."
"If the Church were to accommodate herself to the world in any way that would entail a turning away from the Cross, this would not lead to a renewal of the Church, but only to her death."
"in any way" , how does this phrase reconcile with the hundreds and hundreds of statements from Pope Paul VI, Bishops and Priests both during and after the Second Vatican Council, when it was so often said "the Church must open herself (accommodate) to the modern world"? The entire NO Mass was writeen in a way to drop it Catholocity, no? That surely is turning away from the cross, but I am sure many will argue a loophole or split hairs saying well, not really. Turning to face the people, with a Priest back to the cross could be interpreted as such as well.Not only the numerous examples of how it has happened but the statements of the hierarchy did and sometimes still do involve the exact opposite of what the Pope says. That is one of the biggest problem today is the ambiguous or contradictory statements coming from Rome and the hierarchy that lay people just don't have the stomach to "finesse them" into a hermeneutic of continuity. We just want clear, concise, no loophole interpretive statements.
Where did Car. Ratzinger write this wonderful assertion ?
Wonderful quote. Where does it appear in his writings?
The protestants turned from the Cross and we can see where it has led. A Crossless Christianity, Archbishop Sheen called it. And how many expensive, ugly, barren modern Catholic Churches have no Crucifix other than the required processional one? How many only have an image of the Risen Christ? We indeed must also preach and pray as did St. Paul who knew Christ and Him crucified.
Blaming the protestants isn't the answer to everything, JosephMary. The contemporary Catholic church does a whale of a job denying the cross too.
Amen! It's time that people start facing up and adhering to what the Church teaches, whether they like it or not. And those in authority need to charitably use it to show people the truth. Without compromise!
"to accommodate herself to the world"
I just returned from 11:30 Mass in my parish. Children's choir (God bless them) sang mostly treacly-sweet songs, though a few were ok. No Latin at all. At the closing prayer, our Pastor scrubbed the closing ("The Lord be with you.") to bring to our attention the GREAT singing today, and so we all applauded the choir. Then, after he processed out, we applauded again.
I feel utterly helpless here. I don't know our paster personally–he's new–but I wanted to say, "Father do you realize the Pope considers applause at Mass completely unacceptable, as it shows a serious misunderstanding about what the Mass is?"
Thank God I resisted the temptation, and just left w. my kids.
This "accomodation" is as pernicious as ditching "Veritatis Splendor" as I see it. The sober, but joyful, chaste beauty of our liturgy has been upended for a Disney-style celebration that veils the REAL PRESENCE of our Risen Lord.
Amen to that quote of our Papa when he was a Cardinal!
It says it all!
We need to watch our language here – or more precisely our use of language.
"Open to" does not necessarily mean "accommodate" (it might be to some, not to others including me)
The Church is indefectible. hence it cannot turn away from the Cross, for the Body of Christ hung on that cross once for all.
And the Church cannot die, so what is Papa Ratzinger saying? (what's the context?) [If memory serves, this was in the context of an examination of the overly anthropocentric tone of Gaudium et spes, which can go very wrong when the proper corrective paragraphs do not correct the false reading.]
Modernism (as defined) and the abuse of "higher" Biblical criticism go back to the turn of the 20th Century. Post-modernism, with its lack of objective truth, may be easier to attack. The Church has been successful against both with its emphasis on objective truth.
But readers may want to remember that the organized Church has been under attack since even before it was big enough to be organized. There's no need to be surprised.
Salutationes omnibus.
Hi, Mike,
Could you please help me a second, and please understand I'm not trying to criticize you? First, I agree with the Holy Father and with you, in that I believe applause is inappropriate at Mass, especially when the bloody "music ministers" are applauded.
Why is it, then, that the Holy Father is surrounded by applause whenever he offers Mass in the open? I remember his first Christmas Eve Mass as Pope, and there was applause everywhere at the conclusion of Mass.
Mike, could you help me, here, and can anyone reading enlighten me? I'm being serious; I'm not trying to cause trouble, be disrespectful or start a fight. I mean no harm.
Bob–no problem, although I have never been to a Mass with the Holy Father present. My sense, from what you say, and from experience of Masses w. Cardinals present, etc., is that specifically applauding the music of a liturgy is what the problem is, for it's an offering, an act of worship, of prayer. As my 14 yr old son says, we don't applaud after praying ("good prayer, man").
Applause for B16, for his presence, his words in a homily, is in a separate category. That's how I see it, although I may be off here.
I wonder if Sr. Keehan of the Catholic Health Ass'n. would be able to offer any plausible rationalizations of how this quote might
not apply to her organization. From the post above describing the CHA's endorsement of the current health care legislation, I'd
say "Sr. Accommodation" should have been her name in religion.

Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Edith has joined Archie Bunker in the great beyond. Fabled thesp JEAN STAPLETON gone at 90.
Jean Stapleton, known to millions of viewers as Edith Bunker on the classic CBS sitcom All in the Family, died in New York City at age 90 of natural causes at her home.
Jeanne Murray was born Jan. 19, 1923, in New York City and graduated from Wadleigh High school.
She broke her acting chops in off-Broadway productions and her first Broadway appearance was as a wisecracking waitres in In the Summer House (1953).
Despite a lifetime acting, Stapleton didn't attain stardom until she was nearly 50 years old, when All in the Family became a breakaway smash hit in 1968.
Stapleton won three Emmys out of four nominations for her role as the lovable "dingbat" wife of blue-collar bigot Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor).
She also appeared such hit TV shows as Route 66, Dr. Kildare, Studio One and Philco Playhouse.
Among her many film appearances were Bells Are Ringing, Something Wild, Up the Down Staircase, Cold Turkey and Klute.
It was writer/producer Norman Lear who cast her from near-obscurity into TV legend.
Lear had remembered Jean from her memorable role in Damn Yankees! (1958) and cast her opposite O'Connor.
She also nabbed Emmy noms for two other perfs: Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1982 CBS telefilm Eleanor, First Lady of the World and as Aunt Vivian on Grace Under Fire.
"Those were the days…" R.I.P. Jean

NEW PORT RICHEY — In the early 1970s, an 8-year-old boy was killed in a house fire in New York. The death devastated his family, which included a teenage uncle named Dan Azzariti.
"It kind of leaves an impact on you the rest of your life," said Azzariti.
The death influenced Azzariti's career choice to become a firefighter, a job that has spanned three decades.
Next week, Azzariti, 51, will retire as New Port Richey fire chief after 31 years with the department. He has held the department's top position since 1995, making him one of the longest continually serving fire chiefs in the city's history.
"There comes a point when you know it's time to let other people come forward and take the department to the next level," said Azzariti, who entered the state's deferred retirement option program, better known as DROP, five years ago. "But, sure, I'd love to stay here forever. … I couldn't ask for a better place to work. Am I ever going to get that again? I don't know."
Fire Marshal Alex Onishenko, a 20-year veteran with the department, will serve as chief after Azzariti's departure.
Azzariti, who makes nearly $72,000 a year, left New York for Florida after high school and started out as a volunteer firefighter in Citrus County in 1974. At 20, he was elected volunteer fire chief. Then an instructor at the state's fire college in Ocala told him about an opening in New Port Richey.
He got assigned to Station 2 on High Street. He went on basic rescue calls, carried a puppy out of a burning home, hauled Santa Claus around the neighborhoods during Christmas. He drove a 1974 Dodge mini-pumper known as Squad 11.
One fire that left a lasting impression was the 1987 blaze that destroyed an entire downtown city block and caused about $500,000 worth of damage. He was inside one of the buildings when it started to collapse.
"The wall gave out on the other side," he said. "But it fell away from us."
Once he and other firefighters were headed to a scene when a car slammed into them at Gulf Boulevard and U.S. 19.
"We jumped out and worked on the patient," he said. "We switched from going to a fire to taking care of the person who drove into us."
In the early days, he said, the department's firefighters handled about 400 calls a year. Back then, it seemed that everyone knew their names, he said.
"We knew everybody," he said.
As the population grew, so did the department's capabilities. Firefighters can now administer advanced life support measures — defibrillators and medications, for instance — and the city's fire insurance rating has improved as the department's abilities have improved.
Azzariti said New Port Richey's is one of the smallest fire departments in the state to have its own urban search and rescue team, which is trained specifically for digging through rubble, for instance, or extricating accident victims from their cars.
These days, the department, which has a $2-million budget, handles between 3,000 and 4,000 calls a year, he said.
City Manager Tom O'Neill said Azzariti is well respected and has done a "fine job" as chief, particularly in dealing with the public. In July, Azzariti received a lifetime achievement award from the Florida Department of Health's Bureau of Emergency Services.
The soft-spoken Azzariti has another attribute, said O'Neill: "He's a nice guy. And that's always important."
Azzariti, who lives in Spring Hill, is married to Nancy, a dental hygienist, and they have three children, a 24-year-old daughter, a 21-year-old son and an 18-year-old daughter.
So what is he going to do with all his free time? At just 51, he figures he'll look for another job at some point. But he also has a project.
About a decade ago, he happened to be at the Hernando Beach Fire Department and saw an old friend: Squad 11, the Dodge mini-pumper he used to drive around the city. He told the crew to let him know if they were ever going to put the truck up for auction.
They did, and last spring Azzariti paid $1,200 for the truck. His wife, he said, "wasn't nearly as thrilled as I was." He's got it parked in a shed at his home, and he plans to fix it up.

U.S. escapes with a historic win against Guatemala
GUATEMALA CITY -- It wasn't pretty, but World Cup qualifiers in Central America never are.
When Steve Cherundolo was sent off after a second yellow card in the 60th minute, the U.S. team suddenly found itself facing 30 minutes with a man down in front of a hostile crowd, against an inspired opponent. The signs of an upset hung in the air, threatening to overwhelm the U.S.
"We looked at the clock and there was a long time left so we were going to have to defend for a long time," U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard said. "We've been resilient and we showed that against Argentina as well. We've figured out ways to make a block of eight and fight through that time. It's not always easy. That's when we got let off the hook."
They were let off the hook when Guatemalan defender Gustavo Cabrera drew a red card for a late challenge on U.S. midfielder Eddie Lewis that resulted in Lewis leaving the match with a cut over his right eye. The ejection erased the man advantage and seemed to give the U.S. team some much-needed energy.

It also helped pave the way for DaMarcus Beasley to take the field and make an instant impact. The speedy winger not only helped set up Carlos Bocanegra's winning goal with a perfect curling corner kick, but Beasley's pace on the left flank helped neutralize Guatemala's main source of attacking menace.
Bolstered by another top-shelf performance from Howard, the U.S. defense made Bocanegra's goal stand up by neutralizing a Guatemalan offense that looked so dangerous early in the second half, led by some runs from MLS castoff Mario Rodriguez.
"Their right winger had done a good job," Lewis said of Rodriguez. "I think he was by far their most direct attacker up the wing and I think he was having a lot of success getting behind us."
"It helped us a great deal when we brought DaMarcus Beasley in," Bradley said. "He did a very good job of working with Heath Pearce and helping to make that situation better."
Beasley's defensive work, as well as better possession from the Americans in the final 20 minutes, helped kill off a game that will never be confused with an example of quality attacking soccer. The Americans basically found themselves in a street fight and showed enough heart to win in hostile territory.
"Although probably everybody would assume that we're the strong team of the group and everything else, we haven't won here in 20 years and there's a reason for that," Lewis said. "It was a quick reminder for everybody tonight that these qualifiers are tough. They're hard games and it was a testament to the player's efforts tonight and it's a great result."
Lewis' words helped provide some perspective on a match that wasn't likely to please many American fans from an aesthetic standpoint. While you can certainly criticize the U.S. team for being outplayed by Guatemala for the first 60 minutes of the match, you must also credit it for withstanding that onslaught and taking control of a game that looked like it might overwhelm the Americans.
No, it wasn't pretty, but an ugly win beats a loss any day of the week.
"It was not a game where I think our soccer was ...," Bradley said before stopping just short of saying something critical about his team's performance. "It was a game where we relied much more on the effort of the team and the team spirit, and that was the most important thing for us in a very hard game."
That's what stands out from Wednesday night's victory even more than the concerns about the play of players such as Lewis, Heath Pearce, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan and Steve Cherundolo. For all the individual struggles, the team came together and found a way to win a game they could have easily lost in a country where the United States had not won in 20 years.
There's nothing ugly about that.
Player ratings (scale of 1-10)
Tim Howard, 8 -- The U.S. team's best player, Howard made clutch saves, dominated the penalty area and kept the Americans in a game that could have got out of control.
Heath Pearce, 4 -- When he wasn't getting torched by Mario Rodriguez straight up, he was getting caught in bad positions. A far cry from his quality performances earlier this summer, making you wonder if the door hasn't been opened for Jonathan Bornstein to come back in and take the left back spot.
Steve Cherundolo, 4 -- Silly yellow cards cost Cherundolo and could have cost U.S. team three points. He wasn't having a great game even before the second yellow.
Oguchi Onyewu, 7 -- Essentially kept Carlos Ruiz under wraps most of the match. He cleared away countless crosses and never really look troubled
Carlos Bocanegra, 7 -- Scored the game winner with a free header and played tough defense, though he did look shaky at times.
Landon Donovan, 5 -- Largely invisible in the first half, Donovan provided some important defensive work in the second half. Not exactly the contribution you expect from your best attacking player, though he did draw a foul that set up a dangerous chance for Onyewu.
Michael Bradley, 6 -- Key to helping control the middle of the field, Bradley won a fair share of challenges and moved the ball well. He made some key challenges in the second half, though he did commit some unforced turnovers that he needs to eliminate.
Pablo Mastroeni, 5 -- Looked reckless at times in the first half, but settled down in the second half and played a steadier game before being replaced by Edu.
Eddie Lewis, 5 -- Was shut down by Gustavo Cabrera for much of the match, while also providing little in the way of defensive support for Heath Pearce on Mario Rodriguez. Grade might have been lower but he did draw the red card foul on Cabrera that changed the game.
Brian Ching, 5 -- Was rendered invisible in a game where the U.S. team was overrun on the flanks, leaving him without service. He did very well in the final 20 minutes to track back and help maintain possession.
Clint Dempsey, 4 -- Another lifeless performance from Dempsey, who showed some glimpses but was largely ineffective.
DaMarcus Beasley, 7 -- Changed the game completely when he came in and essentially stifled Mario Rodriguez, who had torched the U.S. left flank before he arrived. He didn't start because he's just recovering from a hamstring injury, but Beasley showed why he's the first-choice left winger when healthy.
Frankie Hejduk, 5 -- Provided his usual energy and fearlessness off the bench. Considering the shocker Cherundolo was having, Hejduk provided an upgrade at right back.
Maurice Edu, NR -- U.S. team's last sub looked very composed in central midfield and played well for someone who has circled the globe in recent days, traveling from China to Scotland to Guatemala.

Stewart 'Biography' Well-Rounded, Says ReviewerBy Michelle
April 29, 2003 - 10:20 PM
The A&E episode of Biography airing tonight, which focuses on Patrick Stewart, "generally avoids the kind of fanzine gushing that afflicts so many of these clips-and-comments video scrapbooks", according to one review.
"Stewart, who is interviewed, is refreshingly candid," says William John Ecklund in TV Guide. "He reflects on his naivete during his first marriage and fatherhood and says that he was so deeply involved in his work that he saw little else as significant."
Ecklund praised the well-rounded portrait of Stewart, noting that the documentary effectively demonstrates Stewart's willingness to take risks and his involvement in politics. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, he noted, "all but swoons when talking about Stewart".
Star Trek executive producer Rick Berman, however, says he suspected that Gene Roddenberry didn't want Stewart initially because the actor was in his mid-40s, bald and British.
The Biography episode airs tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The full TV Guide review can be found here.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Can you pinpoint the excate area?
no,i am relaying info by phone from my daughter that is in vegas and lives in phoenix.I am in Elko,nv
it looks like it is under plenum on drivers side,however.
With not being there to see the leak, It could be something as simple as the upper radaitor hose and I would suspect that before I would the thermostat housing and or gasket. If its under the plenum it could be the intake gasket.
no,it is not the upper rad hose,for sure or thermostat housing.about 6 inches in toward the passenger side.
If its under the plenum , its very likely could be the lower intake gasket.
how involved to replace?
The upper and lower manifolds will both have to come off, put I would do a presssure test and try and pinpoint it and again before you remove the intake. I can send you instructions on the intake if needed.
The total labor on the upper and lower runs about 3.5 hours.
well it leaks out real well with or without pressurizing sytem (overfow cap on or off) just because of location on back side of plemun,it is hard to locate exactly.It is not an easy spot for sure.trying to localize better as you and i speak
She is saying it is a hose that runs under plenum ,feels lkie hard rubber.She is going to try to get a picture to send me.
That has to be a heater hose (or throttle body heater hose) but if it under the plenum, its going to have to come off to replace it anyways.
I know it would be easier if I was there to see it, but I understand her nomenclature and she has good eyes. What would be the procedure to get to this puppy?
and what all Ford parts needed?
Let me send you upper intake instructions.
she says there is a line connected to a silver colored tube, and near that is a capped end and that could be where it is leaking.
Its hard to say with out seeing it. Can you see it in the intake picture I sent?
xf25-8543 is number next to this part.
yf2e-ea is another number
mean anything to you?
Unfortunately that most likely an engineering number and not a complete one eaither.
hose runs from top thermostat housing about an inch above ,then heads toward plenum.leak is just to left of that location.she can put a finger on that hose and slow down leak.
I suspect that its a heater hose for the throttle body, the plenum is going to have to come off to get to the other end.
so we are still looking at remaval of plenum, what are the replacement parts and idea of prices?
To remove the upper plenum you are looking at 2 hours. The gasket runs &18.00 and The hose can likely be repaired with bulk heater hose.
ok, now the instructions you sent, when i clicked on it ,it said i would leave chat but needed to accept answer.i can do that, but will i still be able to access the info?
All you have to do is once you download them hit the back button and it returns to this question.
ok are the part numbers available in that info as well?

text: By MEGAN EDWARDST-G Staff WriterIn an effort to gather input from the community it serves, the City of Ashlands Planning Team will have a public meeting Monday.From 7 to 9 p.m. Monday at Trinity Lutheran Church on Center Street, members of the team will moderate discussion by the public about issues important in the city.Members of the team stress this meeting will differ from other public meetings in that no elected officials or city division directors will attend the meeting, according to City Fire Chief Mark Burgess.We want to have people be able to speak freely, said Burgess, who provides support to the planning team.Several years ago, Burgess said, city division directors, Mayor William Strine and former finance director Nancy Boyd attended a two-day retreat at Ashland University, to begin to move forward on strategic planning and quality initiative.Out of that, weve been working on some training and education on how to improve the services to the community, Burgess said.With work by a consultant, a steering committee was formed, which oversees the strategic planning. The planning committee gathers the information to give back to the steering committee.About a year and a half ago, the strategic planning tried similar efforts to gain community input on the citys services, Burgess said.It didnt go as well as what we wanted the first time, Burgess said. But this year, after more training and discussion, the planning team has been going out and talking with different organizations and groups.Mondays meeting, Burgess said, will allow those who arent necessarily members of any organizations who may come in contact with the planning committee, to give input on the citys services. Individuals who have problems with specific incidents, Burgess added, will be able to fill out a form which will then be turned into the mayors office within 24 hours.That takes care of those personal complaints so we can deal with more things, Burgess said. The big picture.Information gathered at Mondays meeting will be gathered by committee members, who include chairperson Tiffany Meyer, Dennis Miller, Chris Vanderzyden, Cara Schuster, Jeff Honaker and Chris Stewart. Then, that information will be added with other information gathered from meetings with groups and organizations, and a report will be developed. The report will include issues to be looked at by division directors, or senior leadership, who will then develop plans and ways to resolve the issues.The committee, Burgess said, hopes to conclude the report by the end of the year, and then the process will start over again in January.This goes along with better communication with the public, Burgess said. Were trying to do things to enable the public we serve to let us know whats going on.The committee would like to continue to visit various groups and organizations to solicit more input. Any group or organization interested is asked to call 419-289-2600 and ask for Tiffany Meyer.n Megan Edwards can be reached at 419-281-0581, ext. 239, or email@example.com.

"I'm expecting a baby," writes a future mother. "I've discovered he has Down syndrome. I'm scared: what kind of life will my child have?"
In response, CoorDown, an Italian organization that supports those with the disability, created the following video, answering the mother through the voices of 15 children with Down syndrome:
"Your child can be happy," they conclude, "and you'll be happy, too."
Or, as Katrina Trinko summarizes: "Don't be scared. Be excited."
That goes for the rest of us, too.
Those with cognitive disabilities face enormous disadvantages in modern society, one of which is the basic belief that their lives are somehow lesser than the rest: less valuable, less worthwhile, less fulfilling, etc.
In the United States, roughly 90% of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted, a trend that has claimed the lives of more than 55 million children thus far. This is an extremely dark corner of American life, one based in selfishness, yes, but propelled by a contorted and distorted view of human worth, dignity, and possibility.
Similar to the perspective of Tim Harris, a restaurant owner who was born with Down syndrome, the message from these children booms with hope and optimism. Each person is born with a unique calling and capacity, to contribute and participate, create and collaborate, give and receive, love and be loved. They will be there to give kisses and hugs, to help their parents, to work and earn a living, and to share with others in the fullness of life. These are dreams that the full realm of humanity shares, and we ought to embrace and protect all who tread that path, regardless of this or that "disability."
Our most basic attitudes and assumptions — our primary hopes and fears — have a profound impact both on how we serve those in need. But they also have an impact on how or whether we are prepared to receive the gifts that those very people bring. Whether in the family or the church, in business or policymaking, we must give of ourselves, certainly, but we must also provide room for others to flourish as they, too, were created to do.
As World Down Syndrome Day approaches, let's seize another opportunity to diminish the darkness and celebrate the gifts that these people bring to the world.

A boost for FCC wireless plan
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is backing a plan to nearly double the space available on the airwaves for wireless high-speed Internet traffic to keep up with ever-growing demand for video and other cutting-edge applications on laptops and mobile devices.
President Obama yesterday committed the federal government to freeing up an additional 500 megahertz of radio spectrum for broadband over the next 10 years, with much of that auctioned off to commercial wireless carriers. The wireless industry currently holds roughly 500 megahertz of spectrum, but hasn't put all of it to use yet.
The White House memorandum marks an official endorsement of one of the key proposals in the Federal Communications Commission's broadband plan for bringing high-speed Internet access to all Americans. That plan, released in March, envisions wireless technology as a key way to make that happen — particularly in rural areas where it may be uneconomical to build landline networks.
The FCC also wants to free up more airwaves to head off what it says could be a serious spectrum shortage — particularly in dense, urban areas — as more and more Americans use iPhones and other popular wireless devices to access everything from Facebook pages to driving directions while on the go.
Yesterday, the administration framed the matter as one of jobs and economic opportunity. "America's future competitiveness and global technology leadership depend, in part, upon the availability of additional spectrum,'' Obama wrote in the presidential memorandum. "The world is going wireless, and we must not fall behind.''
The plan builds on existing efforts by the FCC, Congress, and the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration to identify radio spectrum that can be reallocated for commercial broadband services. The memorandum calls for the creation of a public inventory of all airwaves now in the hands of government and commercial users.
The administration also said yesterday that much of the spectrum will have to come from the federal government. The administration is hoping to raise tens of billions of dollars by auctioning off more spectrum to commercial wireless carriers.
Those proceeds would be used to reduce the deficit, invest in high-speed rail and other infrastructure projects, and build a wireless broadband network for emergency workers.

Our London medical negligence team helped a client to recover compensation after a GP failed to identify a haemorrhage.
During the night, our client suffered a severe sudden headache and vomiting. The next day our client's GP made a home visit and, after examining our client, advised analgesics. The GP noted that our client did not appear ill enough to have a subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Just three days later our client collapsed. This was due to a large subarachnoid haemorrhage and she was left in a minimally aware state.
Our client was left with severe brain damage and is now in a private care home.
Our client's family contacted lawyers at Irwin Mitchell who, after investigating the case, issued court proceedings. The defendant contested liability on the grounds that our client was apparently not that ill and so it was reasonable to rule out a subarachnoid haemorrhage. It was also argued that our client was not showing signs of a subarachnoid haemorrhage and that she would probably still have been left with some cognitive impairment even if she had been immediately referred to hospital.
We contacted some medical experts who provided evidence that refuted the defendant's claims. The expert evidence suggested that our client should have been referred immediately to hospital.
It was also suggested by experts that had our client been referred immediately to hospital, the CT scan and lumbar puncture with subsequent angiography that would have been performed, would have found the right posterior communicating artery aneurism before the haemorrhage. The medical experts proposed that there was a greater than 80% chance of a full and uneventful recovery had our client been immediately referred.
After negotiations with the defendant the claim settled for £436,500, which was on the basis that the defendant was 90% responsible for our client's injuries.

Mrs. Ione Lee died Tues., Sept. 11, 2012.
Mrs. Lee was a lifelong resident of Carnes. She was an employee of the Post Office at Camp Shelby during WWII and was employed by Movie Star for 20 years. She provided love and care for her children and grandchildren in her home whenever needed, she never retired from that position.
Mrs. Lee provided an atmosphere in her home where people loved to gather for friendship, stories, love and food. The things she enjoyed most were the times she spent with her grandchildren, entering the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes and waiting for that "check". The comfort and safety of her home and the best biscuits in Forrest County will always have a special place in our hearts. We learned many things taking care of our mom during her final days: Never take anything for granted, true appreciation of the quote, "a house is made of brick and stone but a home is made of love alone".
Her parents, William and Leona Havard; her husband, Nathan R. Lee; her son, Dale Allen Lee; her grandson, Joseph Cospelich; her sisters, Thelma Morris, Merley Landrum, Lessie Simmons, Wilma Hoadley (MiMi); and her brother Nolan Havard, all preceded her in death.
Survivors include her son, Freddy (Sheron) Lee of Hammond La.; daughters, Diane Byxbe of Pigeon Forge, Tenn., Barbara (Jerry) Horne of Carnes and Deborah Clements of Dixie; 15 grandchildren; 20 great grandchildren; and 4 great, great grandchildren.
A special thanks to Maxine and Liz of Forrest General Hospice and Jan Baggett who helped our mother remain close to us on her journey home.
Donations can be made in memory of Ione Lee to Forrest General Hospice-1414 South 28th Ave. Hattiesburg, MS 39401.
Funeral services were held Fri., Sept. 14 at Moore Funeral Home in Wiggins. Interment followed in Lee-Mill Creek Cemetery in Carnes.

New Delhi/ Mumbai/ Allahabad, July 13 (ANI): Politicians and Bollywood actors have expressed their condolences over the demise of veteran actor Pran, best known for his roles as a villain.
"He did full justice to all the characters he has played during his career. This is a mark of a talented actor. It was my honour that I could respect him with the Dada Saheb Phalke award. Not just the Indian cinema, the entire country has lost a talented and beautiful person. The contribution of Pran Sahab to the film industry will always be remembered," Information and Boadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said.
During his six-decade-long career, Pran performed in over 400 films, and was conferred the country's highest cinema honour, the Dada Saheb Phalke award, in April.
Bollywood actor Raza Murad who expressed his feeling over the demise of this legendary actor, said that he was so successful in portraying a dreaded villain, that Raavan and Pran were the two names, a parent would never keep for their child.
"He was the pride and soul of our bollywood industry. He was a complete opposite of his screen image. He was very emotional, sentimental and very helpful. There will never be another Pran," he said.
His chameleon-like ability helped Pran transform himself from one of the most hated onscreen villains to one of the most beloved character actors-be it the 'Mangal chacha' in 'Upkar', Sher Khan of opposite Amitabh Bachchan in 'Zanjeer' or the discipline-loving but soft-hearted grandfather in Gulzar's 'Parichay'.
"His acting was phenomenal and he was a natural actor and not a product of any Drama or Film School. That's why it's said that actors and leaders are born not made. He was a born actor," Bahujan Samaj Party leader Vijay Bahadur Singh said.
Born on February 12, 1920 in old Delhi, Pran Krishan Sikand was educated in places like Kapurthala, Unnao, Meerut, Dehradun and Rampur, as his father Lala Kewal Krishnan Sikand was in government service.
He died at the age of 93 died at Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital on Friday night. He is survived by two sons, Arvind and Sunil and a daughter, Pinky. (ANI)

Washington, June 20 (ANI): Anne Hathaway has revealed that she "lived on hummus and radishes" to slim down for her role in 'Les Miserables'.
The actress admitted that she went on the extreme diet to lose plenty of weight to play prostitute Fantine.
"I'm doing some crazy weight stuff right now. I'm on day six of detox...This diet makes me break out, so I love that. Nothing like living on hummus and radishes and then be all, 'And I got a pimple. Yeah," Contactmusic quoted he as telling Allure magazine.
Before she had to transform her body for the movie adaptation of the popular musical, Anne spent a year getting ready for wearing the Catwoman suit in the upcoming movie 'The Dark Knight Rises'.
"It was a psychological terrorist. The suit, thoughts of my suit, changing my life so I would fit into that suit.... It dominated my year," she said.
"I didn't understand how you could be thin and strong. I went into the gym for ten months and didn't come out," she added. (ANI)

In the military segment, while clearly concerned with continuing budget constraints, Sikorsky expects to achieve two milestones this year with the first flights of the CH-53K, the latest version of its heavy-lift military transport, and the S-97 Raider.
For the CH-53K, Sikorsky believes its government funding is on firm footing, and a ground-test vehicle is currently in operation with a formal acceptance ceremony scheduled for May. The S-97, a follow-on to the company's X2 technology demonstrator, is now undergoing final assembly. Sikorsky believes the 80-percent composite-frame helicopter will be a strong competitor for an eventual armed scout competition, which could see orders of more than 400 aircraft worth more than $8 billion.
The company expects progress this year in the CH-148 Cyclone Canadian Maritime program, after the contractual issues that have caused years of delays, "We pretty well have that behind us," said Sikorsky Aircraft president Mick Maurer. "We signed a principles of agreement at the end of last year that defines the terms of a contract amendment that we are now negotiating." He noted the company expects resolution by March, and a clear path for the Cyclones to replace Canada's aging Sea Kings starting in 2015.
While the company has won the competition (in partnership with Lockheed) for the U.S. Air Force combat rescue program, it has not been funded, but Maurer said Sikorsky remains cautiously optimistic about its chance for the 112 Black Hawk contract surviving the budget process.
Looking over the horizon, Sikorsky is partnering with Boeing for its entry on what Maurer describes as the biggest rotorcraft program in history with potential orders of 4,000 aircraft worth more than $80 billion. The SB-1 Defiant is expected to fly in 2017 as part of the joint multi-role tech demonstrator program, which will eventually replace the Black Hawk and Apache platforms.
While the U.S. defense budget is currently entering a down cycle, the company is looking to other regions–such as Asia and the Middle East–where military spending appears to be on the upswing, with an increase of 55 percent predicted over the next five years. "This year our international military sales versus last year will be up probably about three or four hundred million dollars," said Maurer. "It's not enough to offset everything that we would like on the U.S side and it can be a very volatile business." Yet the company expects that foreign buyers will become an increasing segment of its customer base. "Right now our military business on the new aircraft side is about two-thirds U.S military, one third international," Maurer said. "We expect that within a few years to go to about half and half."
