Does asthma boost your risk of developing diabetes and heart disease? A new review of years of medical records suggests that it does. Minnesota's Mayo clinic conducted the study, which looked at heaps of medical records from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The link was straightforward. People with asthma were more likely to have both diabetes and heart disease than people without the breathing condition.

I'm no "spring chicken" but still how do you plant all those bulbs I've been reading like 300-400 Do you use an auger or what. |
Follow-Up Postings:
(Not serious) - I think they all read 'Tom Sawyer' when they were kids... ;-))) |
- Posted by luvahydrangea Albany, NY Zone 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Nov 4, 10 at 18:45
I don't know about others, but the way I do it, is a dig out a bed where I want to plant, ammend the soil, then back fill with a layer of about 2 to 4 inches to bring the soil to the proper planting depth. Then I take however many bulbs I want in the bed, i did a tulip bed of 200 bulbs and I just scattered/dumped the bags into the bed, got down and turned them all the right way up and pushed them down a bit, then covered them over. Voila! 200 bulbs planted in less than an hour. Daffodils I usually plant in groups of 9 or 12, so same idea on a smaller scale. |
I have tried the augers,and special bulb planters: more trouble than they are worth. I just use a narrow trowel. |
- Posted by cynthianovak 7/8 TX (My Page) on Thu, Nov 4, 10 at 23:16
depending upon the bed and roots I either use a flat shovel or a sharp, strong trowel with a comfortable grip. you can plant a lot of bulbs quickly if the soil is soft because you recently pulled out the dead stuff. It helps me be patient for a month while the tulips chill in the fridge and after our first hard freeze. |
- Posted by paddlehikeva Piedmont VA_Z6b (My Page) on Fri, Nov 5, 10 at 8:16
I did read Tom Sawyer many times as a child. And all my attempts to make it look like fun to my friends and neighbors have failed to make them pick up a trowel and join the party. It is a labor of love... Kathy |
I've never done over 50 at one time. I use the same technique as everyone else has mentioned. And I so agree that soft soil is the key to making it easy. I don't think I would try it before the soil is amended. |
a long handled bulb planter is a lifesaver - those little hand ones are useless, you need to be able to lean into it - they also take a neat plug of soil out without compaction (which certainly happens with dibbers and even trowels) - I plant at least 500 bulbs most years and couldn't imagine not having one especially when planting among perennials when you cannot get in and dig about freely. I use it for planting the potatoes too. |
Well, I got my annual Van Engelen order a few weeks back -- $458 plus S/H. So, yeah, that's a pretty large quantity of bulbs -- tulips, daffs, hyacinths, alliums, scilia, brodeia, hardy glads, alliums, crocus -- well, a little of this and a little of that. How to plant so many -- easy -- dig a trench or hole for the number being planted in the location. Amend the soil if necessary. Dump in the bulbs. Fill the hole. I never even bother to "right" the bulbs -- they do it on their own. I've been doing it this way for probably 20 years, and never had any issues with it. I plant my garlic the same way, and it is really happy, too. |

I planted just over 400 in the garden this year. Just recovered from surgery and had to take it easy, did 300 over two days last week, then the last 120 (crocuses in the lawn) today. For some I would use Denninmi's approach, digging out an area, laying out each bulb (I'm picky about placing them right side up), then covering with soil. Planted 100 allium ostrowskianums in long, narrrow trenches, and several other varieties of alliums by digging individual holes, same with anemonies. I tried pretty much everything for the lawn crocuses, finally broke down and pulled out an old dandilion weeder - it was amazing for zapping perfect sized holes into the grass. I've yet to find a way to avoide aching knees, strained butt muscles, back pain and sore palms. That's what cold October gardening is all about, and it's all worth it come January-July. Tomorrow I do the easy part - bulbs in my patio containers. Just under 100, but way easier than today's 3 hour crawl on a wet, cold lawn! :) |
- Posted by donnabaskets 7b-8 MS (My Page) on Sat, Nov 13, 10 at 8:50
It helps if you garden regularly all year so that you are in decent physical condition to begin with. :) But, as my middle aged body seems to be entering a new stage, I am learning to plant one area at a time. In good soil, I can plant a couple hundred in an hour. I push a narrow trowel straight down into the soil, pull it back, drop in the bulb, and then push the soil forward over it. It goes fast. |
well, unless it's just a couple, what I usually do is dig a hole deep enough & big enough for all the bulbs I want to plant. then, I open all the bags of bulbs that I want in that hole, mix them up & spread them out in the hole, all right side up. I love the mystery that creates in the spring. I know pretty much what will come up in that area, but, since their all mixed up, I won't know what comes up where till they bloom. that's the fun part, the mystery of what blooms. in fact, this year I moved things around in my yard, everytime I accidently dug up a bulb I put in one designated area I dubbed the "mystery spot", now I can't wait till spring just to see what comes up there. I know it's all kinds of assorted spring bulbs, but what exactly is the fun part. next year is going to be really cool. I can't wait. |
How do you plant all those bulbs With so many new named daff cultivars, I'm asking myself the same question. It seems I am always having a race with Mother Nature to try and get them all planted before winter sets in. I was talking to another daff crazed collector friend last night and she said that next year she is going to start her planting in Sept, even if it is a bit early and even if the ground is hard and dry from no fall rains. The fall rains still have not arrived here to loosen the soil any, and it is really hard digging....sigh. Sue |
- Posted by sunandshadow 6 PA (email@example.com) on Wed, Nov 17, 10 at 1:09
I have one of those hand-tillers that you twirl, it's like twirling spaghetti on a fork. That removes any weeds and loosens up the soil. Then I make trenches with the hand spade, place a row of bulbs in the trench, and cover with the dirt. I wouldn't try to plant more than 100 in a day though. |

We've talked about a mountain trip to the Dolomites for years.
We just touched this area in 1991, but much too late in the season to really enjoy it (and
too much in a hurry to get on to points further south). And, our mountain trip to
Switzerland in 2002 remains one of our favorites. This area has come up as an option
just about every time we start talking about our next vacation, and we finally decided to
go for it.
But due to work schedules, band camp and various other commitments, we didn't have
a lot of time. With nine nights, we earmarked a week for the mountains and two nights
in Munich at the end of the trip (mostly because we decided to fly in and out of Munich).
Plenty of options, but where to stay?

A young king's ambition reaches beyond the English court to the fields of France.
"The character of Henry needs to be someone so charismatic that you yearn to be in his company. … The play needs to leave you with something and provoke some new thought.

Inspired by classic American western style, the new Nicholas K Fall/Winter 2012 collection may remind you of the styles you saw in an old Clint Eastwood. The line of modern, monochromatic pieces probably wouldn't scream cowboy individually, and rather look somewhat futuristic on their own, but styled creatively on the runway and paired with cowboy hats, the clothing not only has a western style but a classic take on one as well.
Of course, up close, no one will think these designer duds are anything but contemporary. Structural cuts, arced pants, draping garments and directional lines are just a few of the style choices you'll see presented in this dynamic and diverse line. So if you're looking for an out fit that will help you get in touch with your own urban cowboy, then the Nicholas K Fall/Winter 2012 line has a great selection to choose from.

I can reveal John Healey is quitting the Shadow Cabinet to spend more time with his family. Here's his letter dated 30 September and Ed Miliband's reply dated 5 October.
30 September 2011
Dear Ed
We – and you personally – have had a strong and successful conference. I know you will now be turning your mind to strategy for the months ahead, including the make-up of your shadow ministerial teams, so I wanted to let you know of my wish to step down from the shadow cabinet.
Frontline frontbench politics makes great demands on us all, but even greater demands on our families. They sacrifice a great deal of the time together that for others is what being a family means.
My family have accepted this for over a decade, and supported me throughout. But for now, I want to be able to give them more during the last couple of years we have left while our son is still with us at home. It is time for me to put them first.
This is a big decision as I have relished the last year as shadow health secretary, supported by a great shadow team. I am proud we've led opposition to the Tories' NHS plans from the outset, built a wide coalition of criticism to back our Labour attack and got strong local campaigns off the ground, with Labour and our unions working closely together. I will continue to do whatever I can to support the shadow health team and help defend the NHS against the long term break-up and privatisation the health bill will lead to.
I appreciate the open, confident way you have led the shadow cabinet as a team, and the way you are trying to do the same with the wider Party. As you know, you've always had my full support as Leader, and you can rely on this in the future.
With best wishes.
John Healey
5 October 2011
Dear John,
Thank you for your letter telling me of your decision to stand down from the shadow cabinet.
You have been an exceptional colleague and friend to me, in particular over this past year.
I know this has been a difficult and very personal decision for you, but in both government and opposition you have served tirelessly and with distinction.
As Minister of State for Housing you launched the biggest affordable housing programme in twenty years; championing the need for more affordable housing to buy and rent and helping to support the construction sector and create jobs.
Before that, as Floods Recovery Minister you dealt sensitively and capably with a situation that caused misery for thousands of people across the country.
As shadow health secretary you have consistently made the argument that the Government's plans for the NHS not only represent a broken promise, but a worse deal for patients and an unnecessary bureaucratic upheaval.
In holding David Cameron and Andrew Lansley to account you have not only spoken for the public in defending the NHS, but crucially you have built a broad coalition of support against the government's plans amongst health professionals and bodies.
It is on this strong foundation that we will build in the coming months and years. And it is a record for which you should right be proud.
Finally, I wish you, Jackie and Alex all the best. I am grateful or your personal support and I look forward to working together in the future. As I said when we spoke last Friday, I hope you will continue to make an important contribution to our party and to our movement, including to a future Labour government.
Yours ever,
Ed Miliband
I know most people will scoff at the suggestion that a politician wants to spend more time with his family, but in John's case it's actually true. His son is in the sixth form and is coming upto a key period before he goes off to university. As the letter makes clear, John has not been around much at home in recent years, with many weekends away on ministerial duty. The Lansley Bill has also ensured he's been pretty busy in the past year.
Who knows if he'll be back in a couple of years. As they say in the bars of Westminster, never say never....

2002 Zurich Australian Rowing Championships Nagambie Lakes, Victoria |
January 26 2015 6:22:47 PM AEST |
The Victoria Cup
History of The Victoria Cup
The first Interstate Womens Lightweight event was held on the Yarra River in Melbourne with a victory to Victoria. The crew was stroked by Margaret Agnew McKenzie who pressed hard with the Womens Rowing Council to have Lightweight rowing as part of the Interstate Program. The Victoria Cup was presented by the Victorian Ladies Rowing Association as the perpetual trophy for this event.
Internationally, Lightweight women have recorded many victories and Australia was at the forefront for inclusion of Lightweight womens rowing at the World Championships and Olympic Games.
With the inclusion of sculling in the Olympic Games and a Lightweight Quad at the World Championships the Victoria Cup was changed from Four to a Quad Scull in 1999.
Previous Results: 2001 (Brisbane); 2000 (Sydney); 1999 (Adelaide)

Went down to Lake Alfred yesterday to pick up my and FloralcityLou's University of Florida pomegranate study plants from their research facility. There was a bit of confusion as the varieties that were sent to me were only a partial list of the 60+ cultivars they have. Based on where I live the Dr. picked out 12 cultivars each for Lou and I (he and I got the same varieties). The poms had been pruned tall to allow the commercial farmers when they get their plants to wrap the bark so they can use spray on herbicide. I will allow mine to grow back in to shrubs. Here is a pic of the plants, Lou will stop over and pick up his half today.
The blueberries are just entering full swing and had to place supports under some of the plants to hold the fruit up off the ground. I finally got around to counting the plants...57, well it was 57...after seeing some huge and absolutely gorgeous BB plants my neighbors bought at Howards flea market in Homosassa for $10 each I could not resist buying 4 so the total is now 61. I finally got around to moving the black raspberry suckers to make the 2 new rows and trellising up the 3 original plants. The primocanes they are putting up are HUGE, bigger than my thumb. I topped the new canes at 6 feet tall and they are now branching so it will be a huge harvest next year. The black raspberries are still flowering and the first fruit is just ripening now and looks to be a pretty good harvest. I know some have said they did not like them as the fruit was too small and they are hard......not the case at all. The trick with them is mulch and keep the soil moist. The berries are absolutely delicious, pure sweetness they have no tart element like northern varieties and they are good size. This is the trellised original 3 plants have moved suckers in between them as well. Here is one of the two new rows with the posts in but no wire yet. And finally the fruit...and yes they taste as good as they look. The tomatoes and peppers are setting fruit and have been pulling beets last couple weeks. The kale is still going strong but picked the last of the lettuce on Monday. I did try a new batch of lettuce in the shade next to the bamboo propagation mister so we shall see how it does. |

Hey BR, When I come to pick my poms up, I want you to pronounce each named variety so I won't make any errors in my pronunciation of those names. (I'm giving you a heads-up so you can practice) |
Sounds like a bad Russian mob list. |

Lou, I will work on that:) Wes, The Dr. Levin that collected them is Russian so that explains the names lol. A lot of them were collected from Turkmenistan I have not had a chance to research each one yet but it is on my list of things to do. |
Hello everyone, I'm new to Fl & am wondering how you arrange to get some of these Poms. I want to plant at least 3/4. But I really have the bug & know that I will go waaay overboard.LOL So far I have two small gardens planted. Started too late, but coming from Pa, it's still early for me. We just had our onion snow. I have enjoyed reading all of the posts. Florence |
- Posted by bamboo_rabbit 9A Inverness (My Page) on Wed, Apr 20, 11 at 18:34
Hello Ben lady and welcome. What part of PA do you come from? Far as the poms they come from the University of Florida. They are free though they request a donation of $6 per plant to further their research which is very reasonable. I don't know if it is too late to get in on the plants or not. I ordered mine last November and the first day to pick them up was Monday. If you email me at firstname.lastname@example.com I will be happy to give you the Dr's email address. |

BR, Around three years ago these started as the little sticks like the new ones we just got. You can see they pushed up a lot more sticks from the bottom, so not to worry. That is why they wanted us to plant them 7 feet apart, they fill in quite fast and these are still in buckets. Lou |

That's so cool that you can get those. I never knew you could get them from UF. |
Very interesting. Maybe I can get in on that next year. I have one pom tree which I planted 3 years ago and I think it has been mostly frost-killed to the trunk each winter. I don't think it has flowered yet either. BR, your location looks pretty good, low enough that the perennials get to some moisture but not low enough to flood? |
Those look amazing! And I'm in Floral City too, so I'm glad to see some other locals. :) Maybe if I pay enough attention here I can eventually have a successful garden, lol! |

Lou, in that last picture how old is that pom? Pnbrown, We never flood or at least have not in the 25 years this neighborhood has existed, or so the neighbors tell me. By law if the water gets too high they open the flood control gates and flood the river. The water table is about 5 feet down in the front yard and I am sure the sand wicks some moisture up though not sure how far down you would have to dig to hit moist sand. |

BR, The Dwarf pom I've had 5 years, the Wonderful I've had 4 years and the Russian #8 I've had it for 3 years. (and they still are in 5 gallon buckets) They all three were sent bare root at approximately the size of our new UF poms. The poms will try to bear fruit rather young even when small. We should see some blooms on them next spring (depending on the weather) but I would pick them off to put power into growth much like we do for BB plants. Lou |
I drove through Inverness the other day - don't think I have seen it before. Water table 5 feet down! Hard to imagine up here in the deep, deep sand. |
- Posted by bamboo_rabbit 9A Inverness (My Page) on Mon, Apr 25, 11 at 7:55
Love the yard, It is part of the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes and they go for miles. PN, We had a pool put in shortly after we bought the house and when they dug the hole they had to leave a pump in the excavation that ran 24/7 to control the water. The pool was 6 feet (in the deep end) so the water 5 feet down is about right. |
Are poms self pollinating? I would love to have some, but I don't know how many I could fit in my yard if they need at least 7 feet each. |
- Posted by bamboo_rabbit 9A Inverness (My Page) on Mon, Apr 25, 11 at 16:12
Yes they are self pollinating. You can leave them as a shrub which is the natural form or prune them in to more of a tree shape. They also make an excellent hedge which is what I did with them. |

Your pomegranate trees look beautiful! Please post more pics when they start blooming/fruiting. I bought one the other day, it's about 4' tall, and the top leaves are reddened, I think maybe a new burst of growth? Not sure at all about seasons since it's my first Pom. |

Ten best Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes
One of the great strengths of Star Trek in all its incarnations -- but perhaps most exemplified in TNG -- is its flexibility. Just as an episode like "Yesterday's Enterprise" excels at delivering high-proof space opera on a grand scale, "Darmok" exemplifies the smaller, think-piece approach. Here, Picard and an alien are beamed down to a planet and held there, where they have to learn to communicate to survive. Sure, the central conceit of a language made entirely of metaphor is a little shaky, but the way it's all worked out on screen is captivating, not because of crazy special effects, but because of a cool idea, well-executed. That's a style of science fiction that doesn't make it to television nearly often enough, and this season five episode is one of Trek's best examples of it.

[959] FOXA1 Promotes Tumor Progression in Prostate Cancer and Represents a Novel Hallmark of Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer
Matteo Montani, Josefine Gerhardt, Glen Kristiansen. University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland; University Hospital of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland; University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany
Background: Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) modulates the transactivation of steroid hormone receptors and thus may influence tumor growth and hormone responsiveness in prostate cancer. Therefore, we investigated FOXA1 expression in a large cohort of prostate cancer patients of different stages in order to correlate it to clinical parameters, PSA relapse free survival and hormone receptor expression.
Design: We investigated a cohort of 529 Patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, transurethral resection or resection of organ metastasis of prostate cancer or benign hyperplasia (primary carcinomas (n=207), castrate-resistant prostate cancer (n=27), lymph node and distant metastases (n=39), benign prostatic hyperplasia (n=15)). A tissue microarray (TMA) was constructed. Follow-up data was obtained for the group of primary carcinomas. Immunohistochemical stainings of FOXA1, AR, ER, PR, PSA a.o. was evaluated. To determine if FOXA1 expression has an influence on prostate cancer cell proliferation, LNCaP and PC-3 cells were transfected with FOXA1 specific siRNAs and cells were counted. DNA synthesis rate was determined by measuring BrdU incorporation. FOXA1 expression during cell migration was elucidated in a transmigration assay towards fibronectin. We reanalyzed the proliferation and migration behavior of FOXA1 high and low LNCaP cells upon androgen treatment.
Results: FOXA1 was overexpressed in metastases and particularly in castration resistant cases. Interestingly, FOXA1 was expressed at lower levels in both normal and neoplastic transitional zone tissues. FOXA1 levels correlated with higher pT stages and Gleason scores as well as androgen and estrogen receptor expression. FOXA1 overexpression was associated with faster biochemical disease progression, which was even pronounced in cases with low AR levels. Finally, siRNA based knockdown of FOXA1 decreased cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, in vitro tumorigenicity was only inducible by androgens in the presence of FOXA1, substantiating a functional cooperation between FOXA1 and AR.
Conclusions: In conclusion, FOXA1 expression is associated with tumor progression, de-differentiation of prostate cancer and poorer prognosis as well as cellular proliferation and migration and androgen signaling. These findings suggest FOXA1 overexpression as a novel mechanism to induce castration resistance in prostate cancer.

down, though depends on whether or not the support will build up in the
House. Biz lobby will probably kill it though
By MANU RAJU | 9/27/11 10:37 PM EDT Updated: 9/28/11 5:32 AM EDT
IFrame: iframe_odiogo_0
When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was asked this week when
the chamber would move President Barack Obama's much-hyped jobs bill, he
"We'll get to that," he said, but first, "I don't think there are any more
important jobs measures than China trade."
The only problem? The White House isn't thrilled with the China measure,
revealing the latest rift with congressional Democrats over the direction
of a jobs agenda - as Obama tries to walk a diplomatic tightrope with a
powerful economic trading partner.
The critical vote comes Monday, when the Senate is likely to move ahead on
the bill to crack down on Chinese currency policies. Seizing on concerns
over the jobless rate, the legislation has created some odd bedfellows in
Congress: Republicans whose states have been hit by outsourcing and
progressive Democrats from battleground states with manufacturing hubs,
like Michigan and Ohio, who want to protect their ailing industries from
what they consider unfair competition.
With support growing even in some GOP circles, including the likes of
conservative Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama and presidential hopeful Mitt
Romney, Democrats believe the Obama administration is growing increasingly
isolated politically and must cut a deal in order to save face in a raging
populist fight.
If Obama opposes the Senate bill, "it'll be harder everywhere for him,"
Sen. Sherrod Brown, a liberal Democrat up for reelection in the pivotal
swing state of Ohio, told POLITICO. "Ninety percent of the American public
thinks we need to do more manufacturing in this country, that China is
eating our lunch, that the Chinese cheat and that America has got to fight
Critics in the business community said politicians are using China as a
scapegoat for the country's problems and the bill could prompt a damaging
trade war. But with the economy still reeling and China unpopular in much
of the country, few members of Congress are willing to publicly attack the
bill as it works its way through the Senate.
The legislation, long championed by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Lindsey
Graham (R-S.C.), Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and
Brown, would penalize China with tariffs for allegedly keeping the value
of its yuan artificially low in an attempt to maintain low Chinese wages
and cheaper exports that are more attractive in foreign markets.
In an attempt to toughen the U.S. crackdown on China, the measure would
make it easier for the Commerce Department to investigate allegations over
currency manipulation and would make it harder for the Treasury Department
to avoid labeling the country a currency manipulator.
Reid and Schumer both predicted the Senate bill would surpass 60 votes
during a key Senate test vote Monday, a development the AFL-CIO's Bill
Samuel calls a "watershed moment" in the long-running feud.
"I think there is going to be criticism particularly in hard-hit
manufacturing areas; it may go beyond that, depending on how vocal the
administration will be in fighting this legislation," Samuel, the union's
government affairs director, said about the fallout over Obama's position.
"It's probably why you haven't heard the administration speaking out much
against this, at least so far."
Indeed, a White House spokeswoman referred questions to the Treasury
Department, which declined to comment.
So far the White House has refused to lend its support for legislation
imposing punitive sanctions on China and instead is relying on soft
diplomacy, urging China to ensure its currency is on a level playing
In May, the Treasury Department concluded China is not a currency
manipulator, much to the chagrin of critics in Congress.
Backing up the administration are powerful business interests, including
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which signed a letter with 50 other groups
last week calling on Congress to reject a bill they called
"counterproductive" that would spark a trade war and hurt U.S. exports
into China.
The Obama administration's low profile may be at least partly because
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor
(R-Va.) voted against the plan in 2010, meaning that it could stall in the
Still, while they have no plans so far to take up the measure, Boehner and
Cantor may not be able to hold off a push among the rank and file if
momentum grows after the Senate vote - already there are 201 co-sponsors
for a narrower measure in the House proposed by Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio).
While proponents of the Senate bill said its enactment could usher in 2.25
million more jobs, Chinese currency has actually appreciated by 21 percent
over the past six years, while the flow of Chinese goods into U.S. markets
has surged, according to researchers at the St. Louis Federal Reserve.
While critics said the currency's value is still far too low, it's an open
question how effective the legislation would be in leading to the sort of
manufacturing resurgence in the U.S. that proponents hope would occur. In
a globalized economy, jobs may go wherever there's cheap labor.
But for some voters in states reeling from the economic crisis, cracking
down on China's currency seems like an obvious answer.
"I think it's a question the administration has to consider," said Sen.
Bob Casey, a Pennsylvania Democrat who faces reelection next year. "A lot
of people back home want us to take action, and it's long overdue."
Josh Boak contributed to this report.

White House shares goal of Senate bill on Chinese yuan
updated 4 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration shares the goal of a bill in the
U.S. Senate that seeks to push China into a further appreciation of its
currency, White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday.
China has taken some action to raise the value of the yuan, Carney said,
"but it's substantially undervalued and we need to see continued
"We're reviewing the bill," he said. "We share the goal of achieving
further appreciation of China's currency."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters on Monday the Senate
plans to take up the legislation next week and felt "very confident" it
would be approved.
Tensions between the world's two largest economies have flared over U.S.
arms sales to Taiwan, China's large trade surplus, the value of the
Chinese currency and the pace of the U.S. economic recovery.

Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh government is going out of its way to make the India debut of the International Biodiversity Summit a success. The summit begins on October 1 and despite protests planned by the Telangana supporters a day before, the government has said that the event will be smooth.
The Nizams' city will woo over 8000 delegates from 193 countries at the summit.
The Telangana Joint Action Committee's (TJAC) call for a huge protest rally on the eve of the summit, however, is likely to be a spoiler. Pro-Telangana parties like the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have decided to support the rally.
What's set to cause further embarrassment to the Congress government is that a few of their own MPs and MLAs from Telangana have decided to participate in the rally.
Congress leader Keshav Rao said that the MPs patience was running out. "Our patience has run out. But this rally will be peaceful. There will be no disturbance to the summit," he said.
As the countdown to the biodiversity conference nears, the Congress government under Kiran Kumar Reddy is trying to negotiate with the TJAC to postpone the rally.
Furthermore, with reports of a possible announcement from the Centre on the Telangana issue, will the Chief Minister's appeal to the protesters save the summit in time?

sometimes when i smoke i get hard - thats not good for surfing
also, don't become the guy that has to smoke to do something
be the guy who smokes to do nothing when all is done
She was living in a single room w/ 3 other individuals, one of them was a male, and the other two, well hell the other two were females. God only knows what they were up to in there, and furthermore Susan I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoked marijuana cigarettes..... reefers
Stay away from that nicotine man, that sh!1z no good for you and will kill you. Only smoke, vaporize or eat good, organic chronic.
I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joint at night
I smoke two joint in the afternoon
It makes me feel all right
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more
Daddy he once told me,
"Son, you be hard workin' man"
And momma she once told me,
"Son, you do the best you can"
Then one day I meet a man,
He came to me and said,
"Hard work good and hard work fine,
but first take care of head"
I know what you mean when you say you dont feel the cold. I'm the same way. Cigarettes are not what I'm talking about either. But now I am. Cigs are just nasty, smoked for a year and more than happy I quit those ****ers!
there are many things in my life that go better with weed, but surfing is not one of them. obviously, it's different for others, but for me, being high just doesn't enhance my surfing experience. it's kind of like the waterproof mp3 players that came out a few years ago - i love music and thought about getting one, but concluded surfing just doesn't need it. same thing with getting stoned while surfing - the rush is already there. it ain't broke, so why fix it?

After weeks of controversy in limited release, Sony's $40 million Osama Bin Laden assassination film, Zero Dark Thirty, shot into first place with $24.0 million this weekend following five Oscar nominations (though not one for director Kathryn Bigelow) and an expansion from 60 to 2,937 theaters. After four weekends, the well-reviewed drama has earned $29.5 million total, and given its omnipresence during awards season, there's no telling how high it could ultimately climb. $100 million is certainly not out of the question.
Zero Dark Thirty, which earned an "A-" CinemaScore, finished in the same range as Act of Valor, another recent Navy SEAL film, which garnered $24.5 million in its opening weekend in February 2012. The film is already far bigger than Kathryn Bigelow's last directorial effort, The Hurt Locker, which found $17.7 million in 2009, and it will easily surpass both K-19: The Widowmaker ($35.2 million) and Point Break ($43.2 million) as the biggest hit of her career. Zero Dark Thirty played mostly to older males — according to Sony, 59 percent of its audience was male, and 62 percent was older than 30. READ FULL STORY

Always A Fire – Documentary
Update - This entry was first posted in September 2012. I am sharing it again to highlight that Chad Jones was recently (June 2013) drafted by the Cincinnati Reds. He is back to being a professional athlete, this time as a baseball player.
The following video will take less than 7 minutes of your time. It documents a comeback story that is as inspiring as any. Trust me, it is WELL worth a look.
A brief description from the filmmaker is listed below.
ALWAYS A FIRE is a short documentary film on former New York Giant CHAD JONES—a star athlete from LSU whose promising professional career was put on hold by a tragic car accident before it even had a chance to begin.
The film details Chad's incredible rehabilitation and recovery from the horrific accident that nearly cost him his life. Comprised of intimate interviews with Chad and his trainers, as well as never-before-seen footage of his long road to recovery, the film provides an unflinching view of an elite athlete facing unimaginable tragedy and refusing to submit.

Al September 7th, 2012 10:39 am
I did not know where to post my off-topic question so I will post it here. I have read up and down your entire blog and could not find a clear answer.My simple question is: should I avoid grains altogether? From your previous articles you have mentioned that you just try to eat healthy food and don't bother counting anything because eating healthy foods will take of all of that (meaning fat loss). But what about grains? Should I even bother with them and just stick to meat, veggies, and fruit? Thanks and I love your site; on the verge of buying your Never Gymless book.

@Al – I'm not entirely opposed, depending on where it's from, how it's been processed, etc. Universal yes or no answers rarely exist.
tom September 7th, 2012 9:31 pm
Al and admin, the problem with the notion that eating "healthy" will take care of fat loss in an oversimplification in my view. Take nuts, for instance, a food regarded by many to be healthy. A person could easily devour a few hundred grams in a short sitting while watching TV/reading a book/using the the computer. Those few hundred grams alone of nuts could mean calories in exceed calories out.
I like the idea of eating healthy, but it won't magically cause fat loss. It can be quite easy to overeat healthy foods.
Eric September 8th, 2012 6:43 pm
The two best diets I've witnessed for promoting fat loss are the Atkins Diet and either a Vegan or Vegetarian diet. Kind of funny when you consider that the Atkins Diet is polar opposite of the Vegan or Vegetarian diet. I've heard that two whole wheat slices of bread can spike your blood glucose levels higher than a Snickers candy bar. Exercise is definitely good for you and will help aid in weight loss, particularly resistance training which ramps up your metabolism. Forget the LSD cardio which takes up too much time and isn't nearly effective as weight training, intervals and speed work, for weight loss. Still diet is the main factor in weight loss and exercise might help assure the pounds are distributed more attractively instead of winding up as one of those "flabby skinny guys."

This quote : "No one gets very far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day." – Elbert Hubbard,
is very well placed. Wow!…
Chad is really inspiring. I myself am going through a little bit of a difficulty in my sport. Having a tendinitis in many joints of my body really is a burden, but after watching this videos, it appears to feel like a stepping stone in my journey to the top…
Thanks for having shared the video

Feeling the growl again
Half my coworkers are stuck in gridlock on the snowy roads. I almost got to witness Idiot #1 driving 30mph on the freeway with their blinkers on meeting Idiot #2 going 80mph when ~60 was the max safe speed. Sounds like a great day to run outside at lunch.

Idiot #2 going 80mph
Let me guess. SUV?
Typically you would be right (less often since less on road now). This was actually a Sunfire.
I do recall similar conditions back in 2006-2007 in I-94 near Detroit, we're all going 30mph in 2 right lanes which are cleared, fast lane is not plowed or being used. Explorer blows by doing ~70mph in that lane....then about a minute later brake lights all over ahead on the left and traffic stops. Yup, predictable.
Half my coworkers (and 80% of my students) are complaining that they "almost died" coming in to work today.
I don't even think there are two inches of snow yet.
The worst part about running ultras is training for them.
I have the longest run of my life planned for Saturday morning. I've been nervous for 2 days. But, I will cover >4 hrs and >34 miles unless I break myself in the process.

Ubisoft mocks Black Ops II, calls it an imitation of Future Soldier's setting
May 6, 2012 by Khalil Daou
Filed under News, PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360
The war of the words between game developers will never come to an end – it is the unfortunate reality, albeit could be entertaining to some extent. While promoting Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for going gold, out of nowhere, Ubisoft decided that it's quite the time to bash Activision's new Call of Duty, if indirectly by taking a stab at Black Ops II for being similarly set in the future.
"While one of our competitors recently revealed plans to imitate our game's future technology for their release in the fall, we're proud to be bringing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier to retail this month," said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Ubisoft. "Future Soldier has an unparalleled amount of high-tech weapons, gadgets and technology based on real prototypes currently in development that will show gamers the true meaning of future warfare."
So Future Soldier is finally complete – that's good news! But obviously the highlight of the announcement is the smack-talk against Black Ops II, and although we're used to that coming out of game publisher's mouths, especially when the subject relates to Call of Duty, what's surprising, however, is Ubisoft joining the CoD hate convoy in a less traditional way through press releases, instead of taking to social networking sites and discussion boards. EA is a big name that comes to mind whenever trash-talk involves the annual release of Call of Duty.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier deploys on PS3 and Xbox 360 on May 22; a PC version follows on June 12.
Miyamoto criticizes PlayStation Vita for lack of games
May 6, 2012 by Khalil Daou
Filed under 3DS, News, PSV
Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto has acknowledged that the PlayStation Vita is a convincing machine specs-wise, but argued that it isn't enough to prove of being a strong product.
The Mario creator reckons that availability of games is a factor big enough to determine the hardware's success. As such, he criticized the competition; particularly Vita's crave for more software.
"It's obviously a very hi-spec machine and you can do lots of things with it, but I don't really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product," he told EDGE. "But I can't really say"
"I'm not looking at Vita as happy that it's not selling well, or scared that it would sell well – I'm not looking at Vita that way," he concluded.
Sadly enough, it's an opinion many gamers approve of. The lack of strong line-up since launch certainly hurts the PlayStation Vita; but once again, the Nintendo 3DS has been in the very similar plight – that's before Nintendo woke up and addressed the issue by slashing the handheld's price in August while confirming a plethora of AAA titles. Overall, do you agree with Miyamoto?

Publisher XSEED Games has outed a trailer accompanied with a bunch of screenshots for the western release of Feudal Japan-based action-adventure, Way of the Samurai 4. The trailer runs about two-minutes and unsurprisingly has a traditional Japanese vibe written all over it; from the Enka singing in the background to the masses of samurai warriors (obviously).
The game is out this summer exclusively for PlayStation Network.

LittleBigPlanet Karting not coming to the PS Vita
May 5, 2012 by Khalil Daou
Filed under News, Playstation 3, PSV
Developer United Front Games has denied plans of bringing LittleBigPlanet Karting, the racing spinoff release of the popular platforming franchise, to the PlayStation Vita.
"We are concentrating 100% on making the PS3 version LittleBigPlanet Karting the very best it can be, wrote game designer William Ho on the PlayStation Blog. "We are not working on a Vita version at this time."
Elsewhere, Ho stated that LittleBigPlanet Karting would support a variety of controls, and the company will be supporting the game post-launch with DLC. Check a new video below, featuring Ho himself with gameplay footage thrown in the mix.
Original Deus Ex hitting PS3 according to PEGI
May 3, 2012 by Khalil Daou
Filed under News, Playstation 3
It seems that Deus Ex could be heading to the PlayStation 3, that's according to a recent listing by the European ratings body, PEGI.
The company outed the game and stuck an age-rating of 16, suggesting that the old school action-RPG would make its pass to Sony's current platform. Square Enix didn't announce a remake of Deus Ex, so the game will presumably show up on PSN as a downloadable PS2 classic.
The original Deus Ex was originally released for PlayStation 2 almost ten years ago, specifically in March 2002. It was a port of the popular PC game, but included additional features such as motion-captured character models, improved graphics as well as auto-aim.

Filed under News, PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360
Max Payne 3 will have a total of seven downloadable content packs across the year, Rockstar has revealed.
Much like the majority of games that promises plenty of post-release downloadable content, players who purchase Max Payne 3 can shell out some more money for the DLC pass, which can be purchased via PSN and PC for $29.99 or 2400 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360. According to Rockstar, this will benefit you from a 35 percent saving instead of purchasing the whole DLC package individually.
The game's add-on packs debuts in June with the Local Justice Map Pack, which will feature the Police Precinct map for Gang Wars, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Payne Killer multiplayer modes. It also includes two maps, a precinct-themed multiplayer avatar items, multiplayer challenges.

Persona 4: The Golden US release confirmed
May 3, 2012 by Khalil Daou
Filed under News, PSV
Atlus has confirmed a North American release for the PlayStation Vita version of Persona 4: The Golden. The game will hit store shelves this fall, as mentioned on the game's website.
The Golden was announced for Sony's handheld back in summer 2012 initially for Japan as an expanded version of the PS2 game. The Vita iteration of the RPG has all new features, including an additional character, anime cutscenes and story elements. In Japan, the game launches on June 14, but this is the first time we heard an official word regarding a localized US release.
In the meantime, The Golden has yet to attract a publisher in Europe, which leads to assumptions that it won't likely arrive to European shores this year.

HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Like it or not, teammates fight.
Fans and media shouldn't overreact to Minnesota Timberwolves teammates J.J. Barea and Kevin Love getting into an altercation during last night's game against the Sacramento Kings.
The Timberwolves were playing poorly, which led to Barea and Love briefly losing their cool. Both had moved on when reporters asked about the incident during post-game interviews.
Remember, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook had a momentary tiff earlier in the year, and the Oklahoma City Thunder sit atop the league standings.
Expect this to blow-over. Watch the video and get at us with thoughts on Barea and Love's squabble.

Greg Oden shares the fans' disappointment in the way his career has gone. The 7-foot center was limited to just 82 games by injuries after the Portland Trail Blazers took him over Kevin Durant with the first selection in the 2007 draft. Portland waived the former No. 1 overall pick Thursday after an injury-plagued five-year run in which he averaged just 9.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots. He recently underwent his third microfracture knee surgery, the second on his left knee, ending his season.
"He feels bad for Portland and the team, more than anything, more than he did for himself," Oden's agent, Mike Conley Sr., said Friday. "He felt he could have made an impact, and he knows they were counting on him."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Greg Oden doesn't think his career is over even if the Portland Trail Blazers do.
Yesterday, the Blazers - who fired their coach and traded their starting center and small forward - waived Oden, the prep and college sensation they drafted first overall in 2007 ahead of superstar Kevin Durant.
Oden's heart and effort could never be questioned. Sadly, his knees only allowed him to play 82 games over five seasons. So the Blazers, tired of the setbacks and disappointment, cut ties with the center yesterday.
Word is Oden will continue rehabbing his leg in his hometown of Indianapolis in hopes of making a comeback with the Pacers.
With a little luck, one of the most celebrated prospects in hoops history will change how his story ends.

HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: What altercation with his co-star?

Watch the video, form an opinion, and get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Heat GM Pat Riley and Thunder GM Sam Presti must have had heart attacks while watching LeBron James and Kevin Durant's flag football teams go at it.

"Why cant players have freedom of movement?" asked Durant. "Teams trade players like cards, but you get mad when a player decides to go to another team. Double standard." Durant pointed out that players often take less money in order to have the freedom to pick their destination. "I'm all for player movement," said Durant before adding that he loves playing for the Thunder.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: There has to be a trade off. At least, Kevin Durant thinks so.
Regardless of what the owners say, the players have made considerable concessions on Basketball Related Income.
For instance, the players earned 57% of BRI in the last Collective Bargaining Agreement and stand to make about 50% whenever the two sides sign a new deal.
The hold-up is what players get in exchange for taking a smaller piece of the pie. They want freedom to move between teams, while the owners are reluctant to grant such freedom because they fear wealthy, have-franchises will overpay.
Bottom line: the owners scored a massive victory on BRI. They routed the players by 35 points and are laughing to the bank.
Perhaps owners should give on cap loopholes and trade exceptions. Or, perhaps players, like Durant, should live with a scaled down mid level exception and sign-and trade formula.
Somebody has to give. At this point, I, like most of 'Joe Public', don't care who it is.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: If round the clock CBA negotiations are bothering Kevin Durant, he isn't showing it.
The Oklahoma City Thunder forward has spent the lockout balling in charity games, promoting his brand, and visiting his former University, Texas, for a football game.

HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: 'Basketball Never Stops' -even if there's a lockout.
The good folks at Nike have filmed an awesome ad campaign called 'Basketball Never Stops'. In this clip, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and others discuss what this suddenly famous saying means to them.
Click the video below, watch it, and tell HoopsVibe News what Basketball Never Stops means to you.
The half time show was ass. Three kids were dancing around shouting through the speakers. If they were good, we couldn't tell because the sound check guys did not do their jobs. There was too much feed back. I cannot understand what they were saying. The kids looked more like ravers on drugs dancing around with decorative clothes and back packs. They claimed that swag is dead, but their sign is messed up. It reads "Swag is dead." A slash mark crosses the sentence. Does that mean that swag is not dead? They meant to say "Swag." A slash mark crossing that word makes sense. No one was amused. Swag itself was not amused.

The main event game took place at Cal State Long Beach in Long Beach, California. The game did not take place in Los Angeles. People need to get that right. The celebrity game started off the night on a low note. I did not think it could get any lower until these no name rap groups came out to perform. It was a blood bath. No, no one killed anyone. When I say blood bath, I meant they killed my ears. They were dancing and singing for the crowd, but the crowd just did not give a damn. Shout outs to performing with heart and the silent awkwardness that followed.

HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Kevin Durant scored 50 points last weekend in Los Angeles.
Sadly, such a performance didn't help his Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Los Angeles Lakers because the NBA is locked-out. Instead it came in an exhibition match for the Goodman League.
Watch the video below, remember what are missing because of the lockout, and hope the powers that be find an answer.
That's going to happen. But I support him 100 percent. Of course, I hated when people were saying the stuff they were saying, and he hated it as well. I didn't want it to get to his head. I hate when people try to creep into the group and try to break things up.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: They're good.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant wants everybody to know there's no beef between him and point guard Russell Westbrook.
In fact, Durant likes Westbrook as a player and person. Any friction was nothing more than teammates holding each other accountable.
Fair enough. Credit Durant for showing maturity and attempting to douse out any fires before they burn in Oklahoma City.
Here's the problem: Thunder coach Scott Brooks has real concerns with Westbrook's shot-first mentality, and left him on the bench for key stretches of the 2011 playoffs.
Brooks wants Westbrook to stop acting like he's the first-option and to facilitate for others like a classic table-setter. The team knows this. They have to.
And what happens if Westbrook, a headstrong and confident player, ignores Brooks' advice and continues looking for his shot instead of creating for Durant and others?
Then there may be a problem.

HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: For one night fans could forget the lockout and enjoy basketball as the Melo took on the Goodman on Tuesday night.
There were big names like Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James, while youngsters like Eric Bledsoe and Josh Selby dazzled with their aerial antics.
Click the video, watch the highlights courtesy of hoopsmixtape.com, and get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.

"We'll see what happens," Griffin said. "Right now my commitment is to the Clippers, and we're working on making that team better. I know the Thunder are doing a great job here and everybody's excited about them."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: It sounds good. Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
And Griffin seemed open to signing with the Thunder when asked what he'll do when he becomes a restricted free agent in 2014.
This isn't just speculation; the dots do connect.
First, the Thunder has a top player in Durant. Second, the Thunder is well-run -unlike Griffin's current team, the Clippers. And finally, Griffin went to college in Oklahoma.
Unfortunately, Oklahoma City is one of the NBA's smallest markets with few opportunities for marketing and branding. Los Angeles, even if Griffin is with the Clippers, is a massive market, which attracts sponsors.
So signing with the Thunder would be good for Griffin's NBA career, while staying with the Clippers would be good for his wallet.
Bottom line: rumors of Griffin's departure will continue unless the NBA puts a franchise tag or other clauses in the new collective bargaining agreement.
--Oly Sandor.

After the Goodman League defeated the Drew League last weekend, they were soon being dubbed the best summer league in the country. However, many other regions that didn't get a chance to compete disagreed with that sentiment and wanted their shot against Goodman's finest.
On August 30, one such league will have that opportunity. The Melo League is located in Baltimore and has had many NBA players in their gym throughout the course of the summer. They've been one of the more competitive pro-am leagues in the nation over the last few years and want to see if their All-Stars can take down the group from D.C.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: It's Tyson vs. Douglas. It's Ali vs. Frazier. It's Celtics vs. Lakers. And it's Silva vs. GSP.
Forgive the hyperbole, but the August 30th game between the Goodman League and Melo's All-Star squad may be the only basketball fans see for a while.
Thankfully, Wednesday's tilt will be a star-studded affair. The Goodman squad features Kevin Durant, Brandon Jennings, and John Wall, while Melo's All-Stars will be represented by Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, and Chris Paul.
Hopefully, Commissioner Stern and union boss Billy Hunter's bargaining session, also on Wednesday, is fruitful, and fans get an NBA season to follow this interesting friendly.
--Oly Sandor.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.
The NBA lockout has definitely affected coverage of pro basketball during the summer, which is obvious because there is no basketball to report. People are desperate for NBA action that they have to resort to covering recreational leagues around the nation. Kevin Durant's street ball exploits, Kobe Bryant dominating, John Lucas III lighting it up, and LeBron James getting dunked on by little Asian kids was just the stuff shown around networks and Internet. Fans are that thirsty for that action.

So I ordered a 200 series gliding door because I like more glass area that the french door look of the 400. I upgraded the LowE so there is no difference between them.
No how the heck do I paint the pine on the inside of the door to have a factory finish, will it no rub off as soon as it's opened the first time?? I was considering the permashield casing but that color will not match the painted door molding that will go around the frame??? So what to do??? I can get the permasheild but it won't match the molding or I can get pine on the inside and paint the molding and door to match? I am guessing this is a pro painting task? Does anyone prefer the 400 to 200? Seems like you lose light coming in do to more frame? thanks!! |

Green-Wood Monk Parakeets Rebuilding Nest Empire
I am happy to say that the wild parrots at Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery are rebuilding. The scaffolding over the main gate was removed several weeks ago, and although the parrots are several thousand twigs away from restoring their once extensive nest complexes, early work is underway and several new brand new parrot-constructed chambers should be ready by the onset of the breeding season, which begins in April.
This Flickr slide show shows the parrots feeding on leaf buds, foraging, and beginning reconstruction. It also features some folks from WCBS-TV, who came out today to work on a segment on the parrots. All photos by Stephen Carl Baldwin.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Pope Francis: Time to go to church, you cannot be a Christian without loving the Church
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
February 4th, 2014 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Pope Francis has reminded Christians that faithfulness to the Church, is part of being a Christian and loving Christ. He stressed that we cannot use Church doctrine "as we please." LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - During today's homily, Pope Francis talked about the three pillars of belonging. Those pillars are "Humility", "Fidelity," and, "Special Service."Pope Francis gave special emphasis to Fidelity. He explained, "Fidelity to the Church, fidelity to its teaching; fidelity to the Creed; fidelity to the doctrine, safeguarding this doctrine. Humility and fidelity. Even Paul VI reminded us that we receive the message of the Gospel as a gift and we need to transmit it as a gift, but not as a something of ours: it is a gift that we received." "And be faithful in this transmission. Because we have received and we have to gift a Gospel that is not ours, that is Jesus', and we must not - he would say - become masters of the Gospel, masters of the doctrine we have received, to use it as we please," he explained. Pope Francis also quoted Pope Paul VI, and his statement that it was an "absurd dichotomy" to love Christ without love for the Church. Today, it is common to encounter Christians who disavow any church, or who do not participate in a church community, often criticizing the church and the community as the reason for refrain from devout practice. While these individuals might do good from day to day, as Christians are expected to do, they are missing part of the equation. When a person is baptized, they are baptized into the Church, which Pope Francis explained is the Community of God. Pope Francis shared, "This is why the great Paul VI said that it is an absurd dichotomy to love Christ without the Church, to listen to Christ but not the Church, to be with Christ at the margins of the Church. It's not possible. It is an absurd dichotomy. We receive the Gospel message in the Church and we carry out our holiness in the Church, our path in the Church. The other is a fantasy, or, as he said, an absurd dichotomy." It should be understood that Christ did found the church community, and sent the apostles to form and support communities of believers. These are not random individuals doing their own thing, practicing as they want. Rather, faith is imbued with discipline, and a powerful sense of community. The communal identity is central to Christianity, and it is a stretch to be a Christian while eschewing the community. Part of membership in a community, is loyalty to others and loyalty to the hierarchy imposed by God. For this reason, we are called to love and obey the church. When the Holy Father calls us to mass, or to Lenten fast, and to 'Prayer and Action' we have a duty to respond.
