1. Barca

4. Real Madrid..
5. Man chitty..
6. Paris st germain
7. Chelsea
8. Juventus
9. Arsenal!
10. Spurs, (I know they are ahead of us in the table, but they always fade at the end)..

The top three are indisputable. The order between 4 and 8 is debatable, but I'll grant you those five teams right now. Where your argument takes a drastic turn from logic is those final two teams, showing both homerist tendencies and an Anglocentric viewpoint.
9. Borrusia Dortmund
10. FC Porto
Would you trust Arsenal or Spurs to dispatch either side right now -- home, away or on a neutral pitch? I surely wouldn't. Both are in position to finish top-two in their respective leagues, and both are in position to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
You could make a tenuous case for Tottenham, but Arsenal? The same Gunners side that lost to Bradford City and Blackburn?! Please, HCF... don't let fanaticism blind you to the facts.

We played Dortmund last year.. And I wasn't that impressed..
Maybe I could see Dortmund over spurs.. As long as bale didn't get red hot..
What you have to remember is the premier league is the toughest league in the world..
What you also have to remember is we basically had our B team in against Blackburn..
And we were trying to expend the least amount of energy as possible, cause we have bigger fish to fry.. German style..
I thought arsenal played very well today against a fantastic German team..
We scored one goal, (which is never easy to do against zee Germans).. And almost scored a 2nd..
I know Dortmund traditionally matches up well against bayern..
But that is the only great team that Dortmund plays well against..
If I had to pick an 11th it would have been the new resurgent ac Milan under balotelli..
If super Mario wasn't such a hot head, ac Milan would be even higher..
But you just don't know if Mario will blow a game by getting a red..
Porto hasn't made ANY noise in Europe since the special one left..
At least arsenal made it to the semis a couple years back..
Bigalke said 02/19, 07:33 PM
There's a good question... IS the Premier League the best in the world THIS year? Because we're not resting on past laurels or dusty history but the realities of the present with this topic.
If we're talking dominance by its top teams, the EPL has but two teams in the Champions League round of 16 -- same as Serie A, one less than the Bundesliga and two less than Spain has produced. Only one is in any shape to talk about advancing, and they're fairly ranked at #3. A
If we're talking domestic competitive balance, no league is deeper this year than the densely-packed half-dozen battling at the top of the tables in Italy. The top 3 in the EPL are separated by 16 points; that's the gap from 1st to 7th in the tight Serie A race. England's clubs might enjoy the biggest revenues as a whole, but by no means does that mean they're still ascendant.
Which is why ANY list that says the EPL's top five are among the 10 best in Europe is patently ludicrous. Dortmund and Porto are better NOW... this isn't a history contest or a popularity contest.
HighwayCrossingFrog said 02/19, 10:50 PM
Porto would get killed by bayern..
At least we made them sweat..
Dortmund won't beat a team ranked higher than them in the CL.. It's not in their nature..
But we made them sweat..
Spurs have bale..
A rich man.. A superstar..
Porto and Dortmund???
Yeah get back to me on that..
You should have said ac Milan..
I initially did not put ac Milan..
Cause I didn't want to pick all the good teams..
AND I knew you would not create a top ten list..
Genius on my part..
I always believe in giving the opposition a fair chance..
You not taking ac Milan..
Boy you dug yourself a hole..;)
Bigalke said 02/20, 12:30 PM
Guess what? It isn't Arsenal's nature to beat teams above them either. Sweat? The only sweat Arsenal is making is their own flop sweat. Spurs have Bale... and what else?!
You've done nothing to negate my arguments about the down nature of the EPL. You've failed to prove your two teams. You want to obfuscate this argument by tossing AC Milan in as MY failure, but because you too omitted them this is a non-point that has no bearing on the teams we ARE arguing. Too late to try to carry new contentions, HCF... you ought to know better than to try.
The reality is that Porto held their own against PSG in the Champions League group stage. Dortmund knocked off Real Madrid and Man City to finish top in Group D... and they drew 1-1 v. Bayern IN MUNICH on Dec. 1.
Face it. Maybe we both missed a potential top-10 team in Milan. MAYBE. But the teams I DID pick are better European club teams RIGHT NOW than the selections you did make. Both Porto and Dortmund are more complete and cohesive teams, front to back, than either Arsenal or Spurs. They are in better position now -- in ALL competitions, both UEFA and domestic.

Recipe by Jackie Smith
"A creamy yogurt dressing. The sour cream and cilantro add a little bit of a kick! Try this dip with vegetables or potato chips, you'll love it."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chopped green onion
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
This is a good dip for veggie's, just a little bland for me. I tasted then adjusted more to our taste before serving, added more onion, a little garlic salt, and garlic powder, returned to frige for another hour, had more flavor. I think when I make this again, I will use equal parts of yogurt and sour cream.
I liked this as a dip for veggies. One change I would make is adding more spices such as pepper. It was a bit to yogurty for me.
10 Ratings
This dip is great! I increased the vegetable ingredients from one tsp to 2 or 3.
A very good vegetable dip, once I had made some adjustments: I added a 1/4 cup nonfat mayo, fresh mint, salt and pepper, and 1 minced garlic clove. I omitted the celery salt. I also blended the dip in a food processor to get an even consistency. It turned out quite delicious and my guests enjoyed it!
I am eating clean in 2010 and I made this sauce to go along with the Spicy Turkey Burgers from this site. I omitted the sour cream because I didn't have any on hand and I still loved it.
Very tasty and no one knew it was made "low fat". This is the dip we use for vegetables now.
Loved it! Used it on my Turkey Burger (as suggested by another user) and ate the leftovers with Wheat Thins......excellent recipe.
Perfect for dipping veggies.

Norwegian Petroleum Directorate announces delineation of 16/2-6 Johan Sverdrup oil – 16/2-16 and 16/2-16 A
Friday, Jan 25, 2013
Lundin Norway AS, operator of production licence 501, is in the process of completing the drilling of appraisal wells 16/2-16 and 16/2-16 A in the North Sea.The 16/2-6 Johan Sverdrup oil discovery was proven by Lundin in the autumn of 2010 in Upper Jurassic reservoir rocks in licence 501. Wells 16/2-16 and 16/2-16 A have been drilled approx. three kilometres northwest of the 16/2-6 discovery well and three kilometres east of the 16/2-10 appraisal well.
The purpose of appraisal well 16/2-16 was to investigate the reservoir properties, thickness and depth of the Upper Jurassic reservoir rocks, as well as to establish the oil/water contact in this part of the Johan Sverdrup discovery. The well encountered oil in the top metre of the reservoir, which consists of a 15-metre zone of Upper to Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks with medium to good reservoir quality. The total thickness of the entire interval from the Jurassic Age is 55 metres. The sandstone reservoir rocks are thinner than expected. Rocks from the Triassic and Permian ages and older were encountered under the oil-bearing layers. The carbonates from the Permian age in the Zechstein Group are of moderate to good reservoir quality.
Well 16/2-16 A was drilled through the reservoir about 1000 metres west of well 16/2-16 to encounter a potential deeper oil/water contact, investigate variations in the Upper to Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks, acquire information for a water injection strategy for this area and to further calibrate the depth of the reservoir in this part of the Johan Sverdrup discovery. The well encountered a 31-metre gross oil column in Upper to Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks. No oil/water contact was discovered. The reservoir consists of a 30-metre zone of Upper to Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks of good to very good reservoir quality, and with a 70-metre total thickness across the interval from the Jurassic Age.
Extensive data acquisition and sampling has been conducted in both wells. These are the 11th and 12th exploration wells in production licence 501. The licence was awarded in APA 2008.
Appraisal wells 16/2-16 and 16/2-16 A were drilled into Permian and Triassic rocks, respectively, with vertical depths of 2188 and 2060 metres, respectively; the last of which had a total measured depth of 2503 metres below the sea surface. The wells will be permanently plugged and abandoned. Water depth is 116 metres.
The wells were drilled by the Transocean Winner drilling facility, which will now proceed to production licence 338 to drill wildcat well 16/1-17, where Lundin Norway AS is the operator.

The Southeastern Conference is staying just as it is - for now.
The most impressive thing about Micah Owings' young pro baseball career so far might be how resilient he's been in the face of adversity. It's a trait he didn't have to learn at a young age after starring at Gainesville High, and both Georgia Tech and Tulane University. But after his second and most recent stint in the minor leagues, Owings, a right-hander relief pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, has found peace and comfort in just doing what he can do help the team.
When Chad Cunningham received a call from his agent Jimmy Sexton on Tuesday night, it put about 4 1/2 months worth of uncertainly to rest after a long NFL lockout.
Wake Fickey has already found a sport that he'll stay involved with for many years to come.

Roster management.
Tasha Humphrey has no doubts she'll be right back in the ranks of the WNBA and women's professional basketball before long, it'll just take some time given the nature of her injury last year.
It would be hard to rival the scandals that have marred college football in the last 12 months.
On Feb. 25, 1987, the NCAA issued a report that forever changed the landscape of college football. In the span of little more than six pages, it told the story of a program spun out of control, of boosters gone wild, of players being paid while coaches and administrators, at the very least, looked the other way.
The issue of paying college athletes draws a lot of passion from both sides of the debate.
ATLANTA - Erika DeSouza tied a career high with 27 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, Lindsey Harding scored 25 points and the Atlanta Dream rallied for an 87-81 victory over the New York Liberty on Thursday night.
Just two years ago, Brandon Mosley was working out in rural Kansas, preparing for his first season with the Coffeyville Community College Ravens.
Hunter Chandler, a West Hall graduate and current member of the Rhodes College baseball team, was named to the Capital One Academic All-District First Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Woodmere Station Building Renovation Starts Monday, November 17
Work Includes Interior and Exterior Improvements
Major renovation work on the MTA Long Island Rail Road's Woodmere Station building and nearby area gets underway November 17. During the work a trailer parked near the station building will substitute as a waiting area-ticket office. Ticket machines have also been relocated to the station platform near the temporary ticket office trailer. Train service will not be affected by the work.
The project includes improvements to the station building exterior, replacement of surrounding sidewalks and renovation of the ticket office waiting room and rest room.
New doors, windows, gutters, leaders and flashing will be installed along with new light fixtures. New soffits will be installed and the building will be painted. Adjacent sidewalks around the perimeter of the station building will also be installed. A new roof was completed during the summer of 2008.
New flooring, ceiling, light fixtures, bathroom fixtures, door frames and molding will be installed. The interior will also be painted.
Any necessary asbestos and lead paint abatement work will be completed before the actual building work begins.
The construction work is included in the MTA Long Island Rail Road's Capital Improvement Program from a grant by State Senator Dean Skelos. The cost of the work is approximately $481,000. The project is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2009.

Early Life
Actor, attorney and politician Freddie Dalton Thompson was born on August 19, 1942, in Sheffield, Alabama, though he grew up in Tennessee. Thompson attended Memphis State University before earning his law degree from Vanderbilt. He began his career in law in 1967 and served as a U.S. Attorney from 1969-'72.
Watergate Investigation
Thompson landed in the national spotlight when he was appointed as the Republican counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee investigating the Nixon White House. During a televised hearing, it was Thompson who asked White House aide Alexander Butterfield about the existence of tapes made of Oval Office conversations. Those tapes would eventually lead to Nixon's resignation. After Watergate, Thompson worked as a lawyer and lobbyist in Nashville and Washington D.C.
Acting Career
In 1985, Thompson was asked to play himself in the movie Marie, which was based on the life of whistleblower Marie Ragghianti whom Thompson had defended. His natural on-screen talent led to several other roles and a second career as an actor. Thompson's films include 1987's No Way Out starring Kevin Costner, the 1990 Tom Cruise vehicle Days of Thunder, 1990's The Hunt for Red October and 1993's In the Line of Fire starring Clint Eastwood.
Political Career
In 1994, Thompson, a conservative Republican, sought political office for the first time. He ran to fill the remaining two years of Al Gore's U.S. Senate term from Tennessee (after Gore became vice president). After barnstorming the state in a red pickup truck while wearing cowboy boots, Thompson won a landslide. He was re-elected in 1996 to a full six-year term.
In 2002, Thompson chose not to run for re-election and took the role of New York District Attorney Arthur Branch on the television series Law & Order. He stayed with the show until 2007 when he announced his bid for the U.S. presidency. He officially announced he was withdrawing his candidacy for President of the United States on January 22, 2008.
Personal Life
In April 2007, Fred Thompson disclosed that in 2004, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system. He said the cancer was in remission and he was suffering no symptoms.
At the age of 17, Thompson married Sarah Elizabeth Lindsey in September 1959. Both he and his wife worked to pay for his education and support their three children. The couple divorced in 1985. Thompson's daughter, Elizabeth "Betsy" Thompson Panici, died from an accidental overdose of prescriptions drugs in 2002.
In 2002, Thompson married Republican consultant Jeri Kehn and they had two children.

08/16/2008 - Deep inside a data dump by the Census Bureau last week was a startling racial projection: By midcentury, the United States will be home to 80 million more white people.Never mind, for a moment, that the bureau also predicts that Americans who identify themselves as Hispanic, black, Asian, American-Indian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander will constitute a majority of the population by 2042. The number of people who say they are white is projected to rise by about two million every year.At that rate, even while the Hispanic and Asian populations expand enormously, the proportion of Americans who identify themselves as white will barely shrink, from a little more than 79 percent, to 74 percent.It's not some new math metric that's responsible. It's the way the government defines race: most people who describe their origin or heritage as Hispanic or Latino also identify themselves as white.* * *While the share of Americans who can trace their roots to immigrants who came directly from Europe has been shrinking, "the edges are getting blurrier," says Jeffrey S. Passel, senior demographer of the Pew Hispanic Center.Read the full article A Nation of None and All of the Above on the New York Times' Web site.

jason i believe you are talking about the lapuien boat ramp is the state park off of 155 just out side hdg i do not know were you are but if you look up the susquehanna state park you should find iithope this helps i go there quite often the fee is 10.00in state 11.00 out of state.
Go to the website that I have posted and it will tell you where all the boat ramps and direction in maryland. I will be there sunday but farther up and fishing from the shore. I am going to try to catch some walleye. Good luck.

Make no mistake about it - our region's residents love their dogs. On Sunday at Point Gratiot in Dunkirk, hundreds of volunteers and participants took part in the ninth annual Pat McGee Memorial Dog Walk to benefit the Lakeshore Humane Society.
For years, the society has been caring for animals and finding people to adopt those at the shelter.
"It's taken several forms because eight years we used to do it at Russell Joy Park in Fredonia," said Rock Vallone, vice president of the shelter and dog owner. "And then we started raising money to build the building (animal shelter). We wanted to make it a bigger event and have it down here at the Point."
Many have said the Point can be underutilized during the summer months. That was not the case over the weekend.
Money raised from the event assists the Lakeshore Humane Society, which has proven to be a community asset.

The prayer of Jesus - May They Be One: Francis is Another Pope of Christian Unity
To be Catholic is to enter into the prayer of Jesus for the Unity of His Church, and to make it our own, in word and deed
I fully embrace the Catholic teaching that the fullness of truth is found within the Catholic Church. Because of that I also carry an immense burden to see the Prayer of Jesus in John 17 answered. There is a vital connection. Into a world that is fractured, divided, wounded, filled with sides and camps at enmity with one another, the Catholic Church is called to proclaim, by both word and deed, the unifying love of a living God. Of all Christians, Catholics have the highest obligation to work toward authentic Christian unity. There is an adage in the Gospels which has application in this arena, "To those to whom much is given, much more will be required" (Luke 12:48). If the fullness of truth subsists in the Catholic Church, that should not make us haughty, but humble!
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - In a teaching on the Church as the Body of Christ, given during his Wednesday audience of June 19, 2013, Pope Francis made an inspiring, personal and extemporaneous comment. It revealed what his life work has revealed for years. Throughout his service as Priest, Father, Bishop and Cardinal, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, this man of God clearly hears the passionate Prayer of Jesus Christ:
"I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me." (John 17:21)
Here are his recent heartfelt words: "Divisions among us, but also divisions among the communities: evangelical Christians, orthodox Christians, Catholic Christians, but why divided? We must try to bring about unity. Let me tell you something, today, before leaving home, I spent 40 minutes more or less, half an hour, with an evangelical pastor. And we prayed together, seeking unity."
"But we Catholics must pray with each other and other Christians. Pray that the Lord gift us unity! Unity among ourselves! How will we ever have unity among Christians if we are not capable of having it among us Catholics, in the family, how many families fight and split up? Seek unity, unity builds the Church and comes from Jesus Christ. He sends us the Holy Spirit to build unity!"
The commitment to unity of Pope Francis steps right into the trajectory of his two predecessors, Blessed John Paul II and His Holiness Benedict XVI. The sincerity of his quest for healing the divisions between Christians is expressed in both word and his deed. The comfortable way in which he shared from his heart that he had prayed with an evangelical Protestant pastor before giving his Wednesday Catechesis made my heart leap.
I have spent years praying and working with evangelical protestants and orthodox Christians, co laboring in the trenches of the culture on the great challenges of our neo-pagan age. I am so very happy to have the Pope make it so clear that this is part of our task, our call and our mission.
For those who have followed the selection of Cardinal Bergoglio as Pope, this will be is no surprise. One of his evangelical friends from Argentina, protestant evangelist Luis Palau, was straightforward and enthusiastic about his friendship and prayer with Francis.
His interview with Christianity Today, given the day after the Pope was selected, is well worth the read for anyone wondering where the Pope is headed as he steps into this trajectory of his predecessors and responds to the imperative of healing the divisions among Christians.
A wonderful emerging scholar and leader among evangelical Protestants in the United States, Timothy George, the dean of Beeson Divinity School, just wrote a piece for the same publication which is a must read. It is entitled, Our Francis, Too: Why we can enthusiastically join arms with the Catholic leader.
George writes: "Francis succeeds two men of genius in his papal role. John Paul II was the liberator who stared down communism by the force of his courage and prayers. Benedict XVI was the eminent teacher of the Catholic Church in recent history. Francis appears now as the pastor, a shepherd who knows and loves his sheep and wants to lead them in love and humility. The new Franciscan moment is the season of the shepherd. Catholics and evangelicals are the two largest faith communities in the body of Christ. Without forgetting the deep differences that divide us, now as never before we are called to stand and work together for the cause of Christ in a broken world."
Of course, Pope Francis had already shown us his heart for healing divisions. On March 20, 2013, he spoke these words to delegates of the Orthodox Churches, the Oriental Orthodox Churches and Ecclesial Communities of the West:
"Let us all be intimately united to our Savior's prayer at the Last Supper, to his invocation: ut unum sint. We call on the merciful Father to be able to fully live the faith that we have received as a gift on the day of our Baptism, and to be able to it free, joyful and courageous testimony. The more we are faithful to his will, in thoughts, in words and in deeds, the more we will truly and substantially walk towards unity."
The Gospel proclaims that in and through Jesus Christ, authentic unity with God - and through Him, in the Spirit, with one another- is the plan of God for the entire human race. The Church is the way to that unity. For the Church to continue the redemptive mission of Jesus effectively, she must be one. It was not the Lord's plan that she be divided. It is His Plan that she be restored to full communion.
I am one of many who called Benedict XVI the Pope of Christian Unity. He placed the full communion of the Church at the forefront of his Papacy. This was clear in his overtures toward our Orthodox brethren, whom we recognize as a Church and whose priesthood and Sacraments we recognize. It was evident in his outreach to the separated Christians of the Reformation communities of the West.
On the 4th anniversary of the death of Blessed John Paul II, Benedict reminded us of John Paul's passionate commitment to the full communion of the Church. That teaching is summarized in the Encyclical Letter "May they be One" (Ut Unum Sint).To be Catholic is to enter into the prayer of Jesus for the Unity of His Church, and to make it our own, in word and deed.
In Benedict XVI's first message as the successor of Peter he signaled his commitment to this unity: "Nourished and sustained by the Eucharist, Catholics cannot but feel encouraged to strive for the full unity for which Christ expressed so ardent a hope in the Upper Room. The Successor of Peter knows that he must make himself especially responsible for his Divine Master's supreme aspiration. "
"Indeed, he is entrusted with the task of strengthening his brethren (cf. Lk 22: 32). With full awareness, therefore, at the beginning of his ministry in the Church of Rome which Peter bathed in his blood, Peter's current Successor takes on as his primary task the duty to work tirelessly to rebuild the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers. This is his ambition, his impelling duty."
Catholic teaching on the nature of the Church is rooted in an ecclesiology of communion. All who are validly Baptized already have a form of imperfect communion. We are invited to make the prayer of Jesus for full communion and visible unity our own in the way we relate to other Christians. We need to show the love so evident in the words and witness of Benedict, John Paul and Francis.
We should learn and use the language of communion which the Catholic Church now encourages. Blessed John Paul II wrote in his encyclical letter on unity: "It happens for example that, in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount, Christians of one confession no longer consider other Christians as enemies or strangers but see them as brothers and sisters."
"Again, the very expression "separated brethren" tends to be replaced today by expressions which more readily evoke the deep communion linked to the baptismal character which the Spirit fosters in spite of historical and canonical divisions."
"Today we speak of "other Christians", "others who have received Baptism", and "Christians of other Communities". The Directory for the Application of Principles and Norms on Ecumenism refers to the Communities to which these Christians belong as "Churches and Ecclesial Communities that are not in full communion with the Catholic Church. The broadening of vocabulary is indicative of a significant change in attitudes" There is an increased awareness that we all belong to Christ."
John Paul also wrote concerning the urgency of building good relationships with other Christians:
"Relations between Christians are not aimed merely at mutual knowledge, common prayer and dialog. They presuppose and from now on call for every possible form of practical cooperation at all levels: pastoral, cultural and social, as well as that of witnessing to the Gospel message. Cooperation among all Christians vividly expresses that bond which already unites them, and it sets in clearer relief the features of Christ the Servant".
"This cooperation based on our common faith is not only filled with fraternal communion, but is a manifestation of Christ himself. Moreover, ecumenical cooperation is a true school of ecumenism, a dynamic road to unity. Unity of action leads to the full unity of faith: "Through such cooperation, all believers in Christ are able to learn easily how they can understand each other better and esteem each other more, and how the road to the unity of Christians may be made smooth. In the eyes of the world, cooperation among Christians becomes a form of common Christian witness and a means of evangelization which benefits all involved."
I fully embrace the Catholic teaching that the fullness of truth is found within the Catholic Church. Because of that I also carry an immense burden to see the Prayer of Jesus in John 17 answered. There is a vital connection. Into a world that is fractured, divided, wounded, filled with sides and camps at enmity with one another, the Catholic Church is called to proclaim, by both word and deed, the unifying love of a living God.
Of all Christians, Catholics have the highest obligation to work toward authentic Christian unity. There is an adage in the Gospels which has application in this arena, "To those to whom much is given, much more will be required" (Luke 12:48). If the fullness of truth subsists in the Catholic Church, that should not make us haughty, but humble!
Triumphalism is not the way toward Christian unity. One of the most difficult obstacles in making progress toward the visible unity of the Church is the reticence of some Catholics to accept the leadership of the Magisterium, the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the clear teaching of the Catholic Church on its priority.
Let us take our lead from the Catechism of the Catholic Church as we consider the disunity among Christians, and how we will respond. These paragraphs are found in the section entitled "Wounds to Unity":
"817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame." The ruptures that wound the unity of Christ's Body - here we must distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism - do not occur without human sin: Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers.
818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."
819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth" are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements." Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him, and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."
820 "Christ bestowed unity on his Church from the beginning. This unity, we believe, subsists in the Catholic Church as something she can never lose, and we hope that it will continue to increase until the end of time." Christ always gives his Church the gift of unity, but the Church must always pray and work to maintain, reinforce, and perfect the unity that Christ wills for her. This is why Jesus himself prayed at the hour of his Passion, and does not cease praying to his Father, for the unity of his disciples: "That they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us, so that the world may know that you have sent me." The desire to recover the unity of all Christians is a gift of Christ and a call of the Holy Spirit."
Let us pray and work with all of our hearts for the healing of divisions among Christians and the full communion of the Church. Let us pray for Pope Francis as he leads us along the the way. May They Be One!

Very good message from our Pope. Thank you so much for sharing this! Unity is indeed the answer. I hope someday we all can be one in Christ and live harmoniously together. How I wish we can stop all the fighting and violence.

It is an error to believe, "Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion, in which form it is given to please God equally as in the Catholic Church.

One in Christ which can be only in Christ, this is the decree of God by the Covenant, for it was so made before the foundations were laid.

That`s a good observation and a good move by our Holy Father.The Catholic church has been advocating for Unity perhaps since reformation up to present,and that`s a very big achievement on the side of the Catholic church.Unlike other denominations,the catholic church has tried to bring peace and unity throughout the globe.Here in Uganda and Africa in general,the evangelical churches or Pastors do preach the Gospel of hatred rather than the Gospel of Unity and peace.They just fight most especially the Catholic church,they despise the teaching of the catholic church among other things.They do this in order to win the followers yet they forget that it`s God the Almighty with the Holy Spirit that do the Work.
Therefore,if the Holy Father has shown that Unity,i do request most especially the evangelical communities to copy from Pope Francis such that Unity can prevail. -

I am very grateful for this article. The topic weighs heavily on my heart. In me Deacon, you have made more concrete:
1. the need to subdue my fear about lack of unity. No need to fear ... God will triumph. Thus, I should be more welcoming in spirit and loving to all. No need to behave as if it is a turf war.
2. the need to be more loving and welcoming to Christians from other Churches that have crossed over to the Catholic Church. We should not behave as though we have the better but rather be more loving, helpful.
3. the need to highlight agreements rather than disagreements when I meet with non-Catholic Christians and to be thankful for these agreements too e.g. when Jehovah's Witnesses visit. I have gotten better at this but, Father forgive me, the talks usually break down eventually to a turf war.
4. (and while we are dealing with it) the need to unite ALL of the old traditional religions. What work this would be!
5. (and moreover) the need to unite ALL. God help us!
It is good that Christians have become increasingly cognizant of the need to unite to fight the secular culture. Isn't this a wonder? I think the Holy Spirit's-a-moving. May we be able to forgive and love and welcome each other. May the Holy Spirit help us to unite to fight the enemy. And Holy Spirit, may all the old religions unite...Islam especially. May Christians treat Muslims as though they are also praying to the same God Who listens to them just as He listens to us.

Noble Phantasm
Talk45this wiki
Redirected from Broken Phantasm
Noble Phantasms (宝具, Hōgu?, Precious Tool) are "crystallized mysteries", armaments made using the imagination of humans as their core, and weapons or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. They are the embodiment of the ultimate mysteries of a hero that symbolizes his existence through historical facts and anecdotes. They can be general weapons, such as swords, lances, and bows, or support items, such as rings and crowns. They can also be abstract concepts, like abilities, curses, and changes to the environment and its physical properties. Noble Phantasms are considered to be a Servant's trump card and are activated by channeling prana into them and releasing their true names. This can only be done by their true owners.[1][2]
Noble Phantasms far outrank other non-legendary items, meaning that a C ranked Noble Phantasm is the equivalent to an A or A+ ranked normal attack. Rin provides several examples of a Noble Phantasm's power; dragon-slaying swords, shoes that can run far and wide, god-killing demonic swords, and Hazanken, a weapon in Chinese legends that can only be swung once, but is said to be able to even slice through mountains. There are cases where the nature of the Noble Phantasm is not actually a true crystallized mystery, such as Archer's Unlimited Blade Works, which is magecraft that symbolizes him, and Li Shu Wen's No Second Strike, which is the quintessence of his martial arts. Sasaki Kojirou is a case of a Heroic Spirit without a Noble Phantasm due to his status as a wraith, but his technique, Tsubame Gaeshi, has managed to be on par with Noble Phantasms without the use of magecraft.
Many Noble Phantasms have been renewed from older Noble Phantasms over the millennia, most originating from the Gate of Babylon. Though differing in appearance, these weapons hold similar true natures, concepts for their creation, and souls. As with the progression of Merodach, Gram, and Caliburn, all carrying the "foundation of the sacred right to select the king", each cycle of transmigration causes the weapon to become weaker. If faced with their predecessors, newer incarnations will generally lose during a confrontation. The current number of existing Noble Phantasms is very small, but they still exist in the material world. The only use of a Noble Phantasm in the modern age is Fragarach owned by Bazett Fraga McRemitz. The reason it can be used by a normal human is the members of her bloodline are "Tradition Carriers", who have the ability to reenact the powers of old due to the blessings of their god. Avalon, recovered by the von Einzbern family, also still exists as a Noble Phantasm. It lacks ability without a connection to Saber, but it still exists in pristine condition after one thousand five hundred years.[3]
It is possible to sacrifice a Noble Phantasm for an attack that is one rank higher, which is called a Broken Phantasm (壊れた幻想, Kowareta Gensō?). If a Noble Phantasm is packed with prana, it can be made to explode after striking its target. It is nearly impossible to repair a destroyed Noble Phantasm, and as they are the trump cards of Heroic Spirits, they are unlikely to take such measures. Archer is a special case, as he can reproduce as many copies of Noble Phantasms as his prana will allow due to Tracing, allowing him to also counterbalance the fact that all of his projections are lowered by one rank.[4] If a Servant wishes to destroy their own weapon in another fashion, it is much easier than destroying one in normal combat. Lancer is able to easily break Gae Buidhe in half without any effort.
Noble Phantasms are classified by their effectiveness against enemies. One Noble Phantasm may have multiple classifications depending on its abilities.[5]
- Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm (対人宝具, Tai-Jin Hōgu?, Anti-Personnel) - Anti-Unit Noble Phantasms are those specialized against defeating other people in single combat. Compared to stronger weapons, they will not go beyond defeating other beings no matter how strong the magical energy or curse they wield. Saber's Invisible Air wouldn't increase the speed of an action like chopping wood, and Lancer's Gae Bolg, which strikes the opponent's heart, would just be a strong lance if the target is a rock or a house. The advantage over stronger weapons is that they can be compared to guns with unlimited ammo while Anti-Army Noble Phantasms are one-time missiles. Missiles are more powerful, but an Anti-Unit can be continuous like Invisible Air. There are also those that are very cost effective like Gae Bolg, so it can be called a sure-hit arrow that is better at killing single people than a cannonball.
- Anti-Unit (Oneself) Noble Phantasm (対人(自身)宝具, ?) - Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm used upon the wielder instead of a target.
- Anti-Self Noble Phantasm (対己宝具, ?) - The classification of The Queen's Glass Game.
- Anti-Mind Noble Phantasm (対心宝具, ?) - This classification targets the mind. While normally Anti-Mind, Sarasvati Meltout, within the cyberspace of the Moon Cell, becomes Anti-City, Anti-World.
- Anti-Team Noble Phantasm (対陣宝具, ?) - The classification of Aestus Domus Aurea.
- Anti-Gate Noble Phantasm (対門宝具, ?) - The classification of Fierce Tiger Forcibly Climbs a Mountain.
- Anti-Army Noble Phantasm (対軍宝具, Tai-Gun Hōgu?) - Anti-Army Noble Phantasms are those with a wide enough range to be specialized against armies. They are more powerful weapons than Anti-Unit Noble Phantasms, capable of easily blowing them away, but they must be used more wisely because of their larger cost. Using an A rank Noble Phantasm takes a great deal of mana, so they must wait before they can use it again.
- Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm (対城宝具, Tai-Shiro Hōgu?, Anti-Castle) - This rank has powerful Noble Phantasms that can even blow away solid fortified structures. While the difference between Anti-Unit and Anti-Army is the variation in area of effect, Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasms are distinguished from other categories by the great difference in power. Only Excalibur has this rank in all of the Noble Phantasms of the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars.
- Anti-Populace Noble Phantasm (対大衆宝具, ?) - The classification of Sarasvati Meltout.
- Anti-City Noble Phantasm (対都市宝具, ?) - The classification of Sarasvati Meltout.
- Anti-Country Noble Phantasm (対国宝具, Tai-Kuni Hōgu?) - The classification of Brahmastra belongs to this rank, but the difference in power from other classifications is not elaborated upon.
- Anti-World Noble Phantasm (対界宝具, Tai-Sakai Hōgu?) - Noble Phantasms that affect the World itself are of this rank. The classification of Enuma Elish belongs to this rank. While the actual output is around the level of Excalibur, its effect that is unquestionably that of the legend of "ripping the world" puts the sword in a special category.
- Anti-Planet Noble Phantasm (対星宝具, ?) - The classification of Angra Mainyu/CCC and Cursed Cutting Crater.
- Anti-Thaumaturgy Noble Phantasm (対魔術宝具, Tai-Majutsu Hōgu?) - The classification of Rule Breaker belongs to this rank.
- Anti-Divine Noble Phantasm (対神宝具, ?) - Noble Phantasms effective against Divine Spirits are of this rank. They are few in number, including Enkidu and Vasavi Shakti.
- Barrier Noble Phantasm (結界宝具, Kekkai Hōgu?) - Noble Phantasms used to create barriers belong to this rank, but it does not include those that are also used to attack. Avalon is purely defensive, so it is a typical example of a barrier. While other Noble Phantasms like Blood Fort Andromeda may create barriers, they will instead be classified by their ability to attack like Blood Fort Andromeda belonging to the Anti-Army category.

Even if it's a Noble Phantasm that creates a barrier, those used for attacks, like Rider's Blood Fort Andromeda, will be classified in the Anti-Army category.

From the Desktop: M Stands for MLVWM and Memories - page 2
Moving Forward
The very first thing I did when I saw MLVWM was take a step back and say "what the?" Despite my affinity for Apples, it has been a long time since I saw a Mac interface on a computer I owned, so it took some getting used to.
The last time anything remotely similar had occurred was when I played around with the StarOffice preferences and turned the whole thing into a Mac emulation. That lasted all of three minutes.
MLVWM can easily be categorized as one of those window managers that pays homage to the interfaces of the past. It acts just like a Macintosh interface, right down to the Special menu command in the task menu.
MLVWM was created by Takashi Hasegawa, a programmer now working for Hitachi Cable in Japan.
Hasegawa created the MLVWM interface (which stands for Macintosh-like virtual window manager, of course) and released the code to the public back in 1998, when he was still a student.
Superficially, the interface is a lot like a Mac, but configuring this interface is not as simple as other window managers. After some time poking around trying to find the configuration files or documentation that could lead me to these files, I had to give up.
What comes out of the binary box, therefore, is a menu-driven system that changes to reflect the menus native to a given application, just as Macs do. In lieu of configuring the menus, I found it suitable to start a console and run everything from there, but I felt rather silly doing this. I wondered how a novice would cope with this interface when I, an intermediate-level techie, was having problems.
Hasegawa created this window manager purely out a desire to emulate the Mac interface, he told me in an online interview.
MLVWM is actually based on "a very old version of FVWM," Hasegawa revealed, and is written entirely in C.
This is a solo project for Hasegawa, too. He is the sole developer on the project, though every once in a while someone will send him a patch that he'll include in the body of the code.
Even though this is a solo project, Hasegawa maintains big plans for his window manager. In the future, he hopes to add GNOME-compliancy to the list of MLVWM features, as well as more APIs for additional applications to get written for MLVWM.
If you love Macs, and I personally know you're out there, then you might like to give MLVWM a spin around the block. Don't look for anything robust though; its homage to the Mac interface still needs some work for now.

E. Application Review Process
- Review Mechanisms
The IACUC can review new protocols and proposed changes to previously approved protocols via two mechanisms: full committee review and designated member review. In either case, the investigator must submit a complete Application to Use Vertebrate Animals to the committee. Full committee review means that the protocol is reviewed at a convened IACUC meeting. All protocols will be reviewed via full committee review unless a designated member review is specifically requested, in writing, by the primary investigator, a member of the IACUC or the Compliance Manager.
Requests for designated member review are appropriate for:- Protocols falling under category C of the "Humane Use Categories" described in Section E of the application: Category C- Animals upon which teaching, research, experiments, or tests will be conducted involving no pain, distress, or use of pain relieving agents;
- Amendments to any current protocol that would decrease the pain and distress of the animals involved; or
- The addition of students or staff to the protocol.
When a request for designated member review is received, the protocol is distributed to all IACUC members who are given three business days to review the protocol and decide if they concur with the use of a designated member review mechanism for the protocol. If any member requests full review, the protocol is sent to the next meeting for full review. If a designated member review is to occur, the IACUC Chair or designee will select another committee member to review the protocol. On behalf of the committee and in consultation with the veterinarian when necessary, they will approve, conditionally approve, or refer the protocol for full review at the next meeting. The IACUC chair will notify the investigator in writing of the decision within seven business days of submission. - Requirements for Approval and Outcomes of Review
In order to approve an initial Application or an amendment to an already approved protocol, the IACUC must determine that the protocol conforms to the requirements set forth in the Public Health Service Policy (PHS) and the United States Department of Agriculture Regulations (USDA). After assessing the protocol in accordance with these requirements, the IACUC will vote to approve, conditionally approve, table, or disapprove.
- Approve
If all requirements are satisfied, the IACUC will approve the project as outlined in the application and the IACUC chair will notify the investigator of the approval in writing.
- Conditionally Approve
If the IACUC determines that minor changes or clarifications are required that do not pose a significant threat to the care and safety of the animals, it will grant conditional approval of the project. If the project is granted conditional approval, the IACUC chair will inform the investigator in writing, indicating the conditions that must be met to secure final approval. The investigator must reply in writing, explaining how the project will satisfy these conditions. The IACUC chair and/or other designated member(s) will review the revised proposal and determine if the conditions have been met. If all the conditions have been met, the IACUC chair will notify the investigator in writing that the project has been approved and the research may proceed as outlined. Please note that the research may not proceed until the IACUC chair notifies the investigator of final IACUC approval.
- Table
If the IACUC lacks sufficient information about whether the project satisfies these requirements or major concerns exist about a threat to the care and use of animals, the IACUC will table the protocol and the IACUC Chair will notify the investigator of this in writing, explaining the reasons for the committee's decision and indicating the conditions that must be met in order to secure approval. The investigator must respond by submitting an original and 10 copies of the revised application; this will be reviewed by the IACUC at a subsequent meeting and the IACUC chair will notify the investigator in writing of the outcome of this review.
- Disapprove
If the IACUC believes there are serious concerns related to one or more of the requirements, it will disapprove the project and the IACUC chair will notify the investigator of this decision in writing, explaining the reasons for disapproval.

What does 'street date' mean to you?
I went to Best Buy to pre order a BB10 phone and this is what the salesperson told me, "we are not sure when we will be selling them, but the launch is January's 30th and the street date is the 31st.". So how would much would you read into that?

31st? I'll be out there the minute Mr. Heins says "You can get a Z10 at AT&T starting (insert date)"
But I think the street date is the date they can officially sell the devices per RIM's request. I don't know if that means that Best Buy will have it that day, but others should (maybe?). I'm guessing here. - 01-17-2013, 01:47 AM #8Sent from my jail cell using a corrupt prison warden
As I've said before, especially coming from Best Buy. The street dates can and will change. The screen shot that first showed the Bell BB10 at Best Buy has changed. I work at Future Shop, which is owned and same the same system as Best Buy, so when we say the street date is which ever date that means that's what is put in our RSS system.
My 2 cents, the street date will be between Feb 1st and Feb 8th. - 01-17-2013, 09:14 AM Thread Author #11
Yeah, after reading the title I figured a couple of smart a$$ remarks would be coming my way.
Anyhow jmurph, so why advertise pre-orders on the respective websites if are the counter salespeople are going to discourage them in-store?

The guy who's been tweeting as if he has BB inside information said the USA Carriers will start taking orders after the 30th. What's implied there is after the 30th, the carriers can officially state the price. In the USA they haven't ever done "reservation" but "pre-order" where you actually commit to buy the phone, they do all the time.
My guess is that is the day BB is allowed by the USA carriers to sell the phone. - 01-17-2013, 09:45 AM #13
I hope it means at 12AM on the street date all stores and carriers open their doors for business.
I would say to that there might be a lack of knowledge from the sales people there. I know at Future Shop the Cellphone sale associates have been invited to a Road Show showing off the phones on the 28th, everything up until then for training has been nothing. With that said the sales person might also have misinterpreted what the Jan 30th Launch Event is, which could be how its been advertised by RIM or how that sales associate understood it. I would also potentially mention that it might have been discouraged at the store because of the sigma that still surrounds BB. I've talked to sales associates at my store that are still on the fence about BB, which is understandable, but I would hope they do not deter customers away from a sale.
It is launching on the 30th. On the 31st it will be available to be sold by any carrier that has completed their testing and wants to start selling it. I'm tired of hearing people say stuff like "RIM better not screw this up" because it's not up to them. They've done all they could, now it's in the carriers hands.

I'm just curious about all these pre order offer available by these carriers and retailers. I assume they did the same for IPhone and Samsung as well. What was the waiting period for those phones from launching to actual devices being available to the consumers?
The announcement is Jan 30, as we all know.
I heard that the "release date" is Jan 31, but that's not when they'll actually ship.
The ship date is Feb 1, but that's not when they'll actually arrive.
The arrival date is Feb 2, but then the stores still have to unpack them and stock the shelves.
The shelf date is Feb 3.
That's a Sunday, so you won't actually be able to buy them then. Plus you won't know which stores actually got them anyway.
The street date is when you walk down the street and finally find a store that's got them in stock and is willing to sell you one.
I have no idea when that will be.Battery Guru for BB10 tracks voltage, power, battery health. (Also on the PlayBook.) White Noise helps you sleep or concentrate.

Ventura Getaway Information
The southern California city of Ventura was originally founded by Junipero Serra around the Mission San Buenaventura, which in Spanish means "good luck". With rugged rocks on the shoreline and beautiful hills visible from almost all vantage points, Ventura is a great place to surf, relax or shop!
If you need more evidence proving Ventura's natural splendor, consider this: the area's location between the Ventura and Santa Clara Rivers gives it the most fertile soil in the state of California! Aspects of citrus production are therefore a common sight around Ventura. Other attractions include the Los Padres National Forest, which has mountains, canyons, and thousands of beautiful trees, perfect for that natural escape. But if the water is more up your alley, then check out Surfer's Point, one of Southern California's top surfing spots.

Britney Spears gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
Britney Spears is expected to make a formal announcement about her Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood in the next couple of weeks. According to BreatheHeavy.com, one of her fansites, the contract was just signed. TMZ is also reporting that the deal is done and that part of the agreement is for Britney to show up at the occasional pool party at the hotel resort.

Leadership Interviews: Ten years of Roll Back Malaria
Looking back and looking forward in the global response to an ancient disease
Never before has the fight against malaria enjoyed such a groundswell of political and financial support. Since the launch of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership in 1998, advocates have succeeded in placing malaria high on political and development agendas; heads of state, business leaders, activists and artists have been championing malaria as their cause; new and innovative financing mechanisms have been created; and international funding against the disease has increased twenty-fold. With renewed political will and greater financial resources, several countries in sub-Saharan Africa have scaled up their coverage of malaria-control interventions, and have slashed numbers of malaria cases and deaths in just a matter of a few years.
The tenth year of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership has not only reaped results; it has also brought optimism and hitherto unmatched ambition in the response to this once-neglected disease. For the occasion of the first World Malaria Day in 2008, the UN Secretary General upped the stakes in the fight by calling for universal coverage of malaria control interventions by 2010; and at the end of this year, the first-ever comprehensive action plan, a collectively-developed blueprint for the control, elimination and eventual eradication of this disease, will guide and unify the malaria community in its efforts across the globe. Never has the bar in the international response to malaria been raised so high.
As ground is gained against malaria, a decennial milestone also approaches, offering Roll Back Malaria partners an opportunity to reflect upon the past and to look towards the future. To mark ten years of struggle and achievement, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership Secretariat is publishing interviews with its partners. How has the international community turned the tide against an ancient disease? How do we ensure continued momentum against a killer that is stalling Africa's human and economic development, especially in the face of impending global environmental and economic crises? These conversations will reveal the vision and celebrate the achievements of those who, working in a multitude of different capacities from all parts of the globe, have made a difference against one of the world's major infectious diseases.
'Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you are right', said a famous turn-of-the-century business magnate. These interviews are meant not only to inform, but also to inspire and spark further action. The ten years of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership have shown that bold vision is key to success, and that malaria control provides rapid returns upon investment. The international community simply needs to decide, and this biblical scourge can be eliminated as a public health threat once and for all.

Well, if you've ever been to New York City,
You know what I'm talking about,
They got such pretty little girls in that big town,
Make a man wanna jump around and shout.
I met a little girl there,
She was about five foot eight.
I said "I want you to love me."
She said "Why man, that'd be great."
I got long hair but,
She took me back,
Back to see her pad,
But the first thing I saw when I arrived there,
Was a big black shiny shotgun,
In the hands of her dad.
Alright now, this is how it was,
Oh no!
Well alright!
I finally learned my lesson,
Such a long time ago,
Next little woman that I date,
I've got to know, I've got to know her family too.
Yes indeed, I gotta know her family too.
But if you don't want to be filled full of shotgun holes,
Mister, this song is just for you.
