Part 1 of 2 by Geoffrey Ciani (Interviewed by Jenna J & Geoffrey Ciani) - This weeks 112th edition of On the Ropes Boxing Radio featured an exclusive interview with former two-division champion Bernard Hopkins (51-5-2, 32 KOs), who is scheduled to have a rematch against WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (26-1-1, 16 KOs) on May 21 at a venue to be determined. The first time these two met in December they battled to a controversial draw in which most observers felt Hopkins had won. Hopkins spoke about Pascal and also provided opinions on various other topics. Here is Part 1 of 2 of the complete interview transcript: JENNA J: It is actually time for our final interview on this weeks show. He is a living legend in the sport. He is the former undisputed middleweight champion of the world and former light heavyweight champion of the world, the one and only Bernard The Executioner Hopkins. Hows everything going today Bernard? BERNARD HOPKINS: Everything is going good. Were finally getting some early spring here in Philadelphia and Delaware. Its supposed to hit 55 or 60 and its fantastic. Everything is fine. My family is good and Im just moving along and taking care of other family business and, you know, life. JENNA: Thats great Bernard, and I think whats even better is youre actually going to be getting your rematch with Jean Pascal. Its going to be on May 21. How do you feel about the opportunity to get another chance at it? HOPKINS: Well first of all, Id like to say that with the board of the WBC I thanked them before, and Im thanking them again every time this topic comes up because they did the right thing. The sanctioning bodies, for good or bad reasons, have been under a lot of things during for decades and years, but at the end of the day the truth was revealed. They voted. 30 out of 32 people voted for the fight, so that itself shows that an injustice was done that night in Canada. To me I just want to clear really there mistake up, not my mistake up. I believe I fought a fight that was planned out by myself and Nazim Richardson and the only thing better than that performance was a knockout. Thats the only thing that could top that performance by me was a knockout. Any fighter will tell you if you get a knockout you dont got to worry about the decision going your way or not, but it is what it is. I get a chance to make their wrong right, and what better way and what better person to be in that position than Bernard Hopkins. I am familiar with this to be honest with you. Unfortunately I am used to bad decisions or close decisions, but it worked out right this time. Again, I commend the WBC. Im really happy to be able to show what went down again. JENNA: Now last time we talked to you there was some doubt whether youd be able to get this rematch, as there was a rematch clause that Pascal had to fulfill with Chad Dawson. How pleased are you that the Dawson camp and you have able to work out a deal with HBO so that you can fight Pascal next? HOPKINS: Well HBO is in the boxing business and theyre in the business of viewership, just like radio, just like newspapers, just like internet. You have to be able to give the fans and people what they want. If youre a journalist you want to write accurate and good stories, and hot stories. So its no different when corporate America says that they dont want B but they want A, and we are A. HBO did with most people, including Golden Boy and myself, believed that they would do. At the end of the day they will be involved in a fight that people want to see and that is Bernard Hopkins and Jean Pascal. So to me it is not actually what Dawson and his promoter wanted, Gary Shaw. It was basically coming down to, which it did, what fight is meaningful, what fights the fans want to see, and what fight brings the audience, and that 30 out of 32 people that just shows that nobody cares two shoots about Chad Dawson right now. Im keeping it real. Im not saying hes not a good fighter or a bad fighter. Im just saying that hes in the pool of a tournament that I suggested to a couple of people that this thing could wind up being one of those Round Robins in a way of more than one person. I said I think it would be a great idea to put something together and take Chad Dawson on the back end. If Chad Dawson wins, I win, everybody wins, and who loses falls to the wayside and who wins goes forward. I mean its the playoffs! So to me its just fantastic. Ive been in a couple of playoffsin 2001 in the middleweight and now in the second go around in the light heavyweight division. You know Ive been there, done that, but I dont mind doing it again. Its fantastic! JENNA: Bernard, as part of your rematch with Jean Pascal you were also given a three fight deal with HBO. What does it mean for you to get a long term offer like that, given your age? HOPKINS: Well one is history. I dont even think Big George, the great legend who I respect to the end of boxing history in the world, I dont think he had what I have today being 46 now. I dont think any athlete in any sport that got a multi-million dollar contract deal with a major network. I think I just made history without even throwing a punch! Again, for everybody that hears this audio or goes on East Side Boxing to review whats been said now, Im up to being proven wrong. Anybody out there, bicycle riders, a golfer, or a hockey player, soccer player, give me a call. If anybody out there knows any other athlete at 45 years old or 46 right now, who have a multi-million dollar multi-deal with a major powerhouse promotional or TV network, any TV network, please let me know. So again this is history all the way through. Until I end I want to be in position. At this age which is young for me and old for others, I want people to understand that this is not normal by far. To be able to be embraced by HBO and picking up the fight and attaching other things to it, to me is something that I think makes people scratch their heads and go, You know, we got to really pay attention more to what Bernard Hopkins is doing. Yes, hes done a lot, but it seems like this is something that is going to get my attention, too, and thats what I wanted to do. If Im going to stay around in this game and not embarrass myself, why not play Russian Roulette because at any age, especially at an age where you arent supposed to be doing it, its Russian Roulette. Im a risk-taker and Im a chance-taker and thats what life is about. In certain cases, there are good risks and bad risks, but its all a risk. You know one fight you go home. Win a fight and you go to the next stage. I have no problem with pressure and thats what molded me the way I am, and again, Id like to thank HBO for embracing that legacy in a way where they didnt talk about it, they want to be about it. This is a great thing for me, its a great thing for my legacy, and its a great thing to let any sports person know in any sports. Im not just going to limit myself to boxing. Id be a fool to do that. Im saying every sport that an American can find thats a sport thats legal, find me a 46 year old athlete in any sport. Hey, throw in the women too! They ought to be accountable. You know what I mean? Any women or any man out there, and I put the call out. Urgent! SOS! This is important, because I want to know. I dont want to make a fool out of myself and be saying this all through the promotion and all through the this whole thing of Bernards legacy. Im pretty sure its going to be done especially leading up to this fight tying HBO with this historic, different, unusual situation. I was told and reminded by Richard Schaefer that you have to look past just boxingany sportand Im trying to get used to saying it. So I dont want yall to think Im repeating myself, which I am, but its because I want to keep reminding myself to remind yall to look beyond boxing when you talk about sports with Bernard Hopkins. Look beyond any sport that you can name. Name me a 46 year old thats in this position right now, thats not embarrassing himself. Im not talking about someone whos wrestling in UFC somewhere on the ground. Im not talking about somebody jumping off the rope in WWF. (laughs) Please not! Im telling you on this level. Its called a respectful level of a living legend. JENNA: Alright well Bernard, lets talk about that rematch with Pascal. What do you think youre going to do differently to win more decisively and in the eyes of the judges? HOPKINS: Well Im going to do what I did the first time, but even step it up another notch. Its not what I need to do. Its not what I need to do. There is always room for adjustments here when the time comes. Im the teacher; hes the student. So I dont have to change my teaching books. I dont have to change my strategy or the black chalkboard, letting the student know where to cross the Ts and dot the dots. My job is to show up as the teacher to be able to teach, and thats where this thing is going to be, whether Im telling you about a strategy, Im telling you whats going to be different, what Im going to do. A teacher doesnt reveal the test until he gives the test. The test is what it is. Its a test, and the test is on your table, and thats why you have the luxury of studying. So its not what the teacher needs to study for the student, its what the student needs to study for the teacher. Thats why the name is test and thats why Im the teacher, because I happen to be the oldest one and I happen to be the one with the teaching credentials to say that Im a teacher without being laughed at. So the student needs to answer that question as time goes. The student needs to look at the last test and see he received Ds, or maybe a C here and there, but no As or Bs. He failed! So Im going to go in there with my same strategy and my same lessons of today! JENNA: Alright, well Bernard, we are joined by my Co-Host Geoff, also. GEOFFREY CIANI: Hey Bernard! Its a great pleasure to have you back on the show. HOPKINS: Good to be on, always! CIANI: Bernard, you know weve had you on the show a bunch of times now. The first time we had you on, you and I were discussing your ability to win the mental battle with your opponent before you get into the ring, and Ive noticed in recent interviews Ive seen with Pascal, he seemed a little flustered and defense and Im curious from your perspective, do you think your already in his head even more so than last time? HOPKINS: No, because I can keep my mouth shut like I did with Kelly Pavlik and people said I was overly nice with him when I was preparing for my fate or what. I dont need to get into a guys head one way or the other. I talk because I feel confident enough from the stuff that Ive been through and the stuff that I had to go through to become a man first of all, and then become what I became as an athlete. So when I speak and they just happen to listen, if they dont have the same drive and the same feeling s that I have, you will be intimidated. You will give off a vibe to people that are outside looking saying, Bernard got in his head. I didnt get in their head! Im being me! This aint no strategy talk that Im rebounding to you with. Im telling you seriously, there is no book. I dont have the time in my day to sit down and figure out how Im going to get in somebodys head. If you remember, The Executioner used to give people last meals. Thats getting in your head! The Executioner used to come out with the hood on at the press conference and talk about what Im going to do Saturday. The Executioner used to do the last meal and The Executioner used to do a lot of things as time became what it is now. I said to myself people , if people think that the way Im winning this fight or if part of my strategy of winning this fight, because obviously physically you got to win the fight, but then I will do something that you shouldnt do and take away whats working for you. But is it really working? So I kept my mouth closed for the Pavlik fight. Is Bernard? Bernard has been uncharacteristic. Thats not Bernard. Bernard is saying hes a fan of the guy? People look and say well maybe thats the strategy. Im damned if I do, damned if I dont. My abilities and my confidence, and when Im asked a question I speak like Im speaking now. Whoever doesnt have that in their soul and their body will be intimidated by me. Its not intentionally. Its just the way I feel and if they are not weak by failing to understand that mentality, theyre just not prepared because they havent been through anything yet. Everybody has a story! Everybody has a story. The problem is, are you willing to talk about it? Compassionate and work to the death if you have to, to achieve the things that you say that you want. We all say we want something, but how many people get their ass up out of bed and go get it? So I say to people, Great question. I get them flustered. I get them this. Hey! Its their insecurity. We all, well I did and Im pretty sure yall watched ESPN the other night. I love boxing. The reason Im in this game is not only do I love boxing and it helped me stay out of the graveyard for right now, because were all going there one day, and it damn sure helped me stay out of the penitentiary. What Im saying is if I didnt love this sport, they cant pay me any God damn money in this world thats worth anything to me to be in that ring if I didnt love what I do. To take myself through that, you got to have passion, you got to have love for what you do because there may be a time youre going to get these things that you always fought for and wanted. I got that years ago. So to me when you respect the game the game will respect you back. And Pascal, its not his fault that hes ignorant. I tried to talk to David Reid. I tried to talk to Jermain Taylor. I tried to talk to Kelly Pavlik. Yall seen that on national TV! That wasnt just happy talk! That wasnt victory talk bullshit! That was Bernard Hopkins being Bernard Hopkins knowing that when its all said and done were all we got, fighter to fighter. Its not fighter to manager, fighter to agent, consultant, or whatever title they give themselves to hide behind and try to take more money. The bottom line is he doesnt know, and one day if hes lucky enough he will come and say, You were right. Thats Pascal. But in the meantime, he has to get whipped again. He has to get reality-checked that everybody said to him, before we fought the first fight December 18, that I was the opposite of everything he had seen in the ring. It was the same thing that dictated and predicted Kelly Pavlik. Youre told one thing and you believe what you are told because these people have been with you as amateurs, trainers, early in your professional career. You believe these things! And you know what? Theyve been right most of the time, but this guy Bernard Hopkins. Is he a prophet? Is he somebody from somewhere else? Is he from a different era and happens in this one? Is he, Bernard Hopkins, cut from a different clothe of the Hagler era? The Ray Robinson era? The Gypsy Joe Harris era? The Ezzard Charles era? Is this somebody living in our time but really he belongs 30 years back? He had been lied to, and when youve been lied to or told something thats not true and you got to go into battle and see something different, thats the head game! Im not even inventing that. The thing is, hes not what yall said he was! Pascal has to deal with that yall! Whatever we say between now and then is good for promotion. Everything hes saying now and even me. I dont know what Im talking about half the time people think. So just put it in there. Some people are foolish enough to just say Im so lucky. But when youre lied toand I know Im rambling on but this is good stuffwhen youre lied to and then you realize that its a lie in the middle of battle, its hard to adjust mentally for that. I live this! I dont just talk boxing. You know what I did this morning? At six clock, at seven oclock, I was watching old film tapes on my movie screen TV down in my wreck room, because I always want to reinvent myself all over. It is hard to beat a guy like that. It is hard to beat a quarterback like that. Its hard to beat a running back like that. If I was a football player and I was a running back, Id be watching Jim Brown! Id be watching Earl Campbell from the Houston Oilers. Id be watching Frano Harris and Walter Payton from the Chicago Bears, because to be great, I told you all the athletes I would watch if I was in those sports. To be great, whether its football, basketball, it would be the Michael Jordan, it would be the Magic Johnson, it would be the George Gervin. To be great, if you want to be that, you watch the great history of people who did it already, who passed the torch, who did it, no matter if its boxing, racecar driving, whatever it is. If that person is labeled great amongst the historic writers and he proved it by being a Hall of Famer in any sport, Im going to watch that and thats a hard athlete for a person to beat, because once he learns thatand this is a lesson for Jean Pascal or anybody. I dont care. Its not a strategy Im giving out. Im giving you life lessons, because everybody else is going to lie and say what they want to say because they want to make the athlete feel like hes special. Then when he gets in there and he realizes hes good but hes not special then his career is over, not because they cant fight, its because mentally they know they werent what they were built up to be. So this microwave society, yes I said microwave. Write it down. Somebodys going to use it. I dont have a patent. Yall can have it. This microwave society, quick fix, and thats why they quickly leave off the mountain and they dont stay for ten years like most greats have done and legacies. Theyre there for a quick stop and theyre gone. They never get a chance to build a legacy. Unfortunately thats the life we live in. Nobody has time to let it marinate like grandma. Put the onions in there, and the seasoning, and let it bake, and youre so hungry you keep coming in and saying, Mom, is it time to eat yet? No, its not time. Give me ten more minutes. Give me twenty more minutes, because its in the oven baking. Baking is slower than the microwave. CIANI: Bernard now you mentioned earlier youre an older athlete whos performing at a top level. All of your losses have been close and have arguably been wins and you mentioned how youre a risk-taker and a chance-taker. Do you ever worry though, given the fact you never embarrassed yourself inside the ring, do you every worry that one day you might have one of those performances that nobody has ever seen from you before that weve come never to expect from you? HOPKINS: We already had that. That already came. That already showed. To me it was one of the worst performances, under the conditions still, it was one of the worst performances because of what I didnt do, what I believe I could have done, but under the circumstances some argue, Bernard, you cant put yourself in that situation because you fought basically three Roy Jones at one time. One of my worst performances was when I fought Roy Jones Junior the second time. One of my best learning experiences was when I fought Roy Jones Junior the first time in Washington DC in RFK Stadium in 1993. So to me, that was my moment of both historic situations when it comes to worrying about whether I will and whether I wont. I think I have passed that stage. At least to me, thats where I believe I recognize both of those things that you just said. To me Ive already been there. Ive already been there and done that and knocked on the door, because if you noticed how many people were writing me off after the Roy Jones fight who forgot about the hits to the back of the head with the brain stem. Jean Pascal thought that was my weak spot. How many times did he go back there? The thing is Im not going to cry and you never see my complain to the referee one time, so at the end of the day its not about trying to beat Bernard Hopkins, its trying to hurt Bernard Hopkins because people see the blueprint in the Roy Jones fight. So people say you hit him in the back of the head, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Okay, but the thing is now that thats when you got to show that okay, you think thats going to be it? And you fight through it and you realize how they are trying to bury you so you go ahead and fight through it. So when you fight through it, it shows character and it shows heart. He didnt crumble. Then hes in trouble now because he didnt have a plan B. Thats Jean. Thats Pascal. So to me, Ive been there, done that. Thats why he got warned, and he got warned, and he got warned, and never a point taken. We counted it, a week after the fight we just had this little seminar at a local station with Comcast, and they counted 50 rabbit punches in the whole fight. But look, my thing is this, what a guy does to me I can do to him. Im the first one that didnt complain because I got a history, too. At the end of the day I know the game. I know whats going on. I know what the agenda is, but people are going to be really, really not shocked when this fight, the second time around, which my record proves that nobody really has a career after that. I mean really, Im not bragging or boasting, but theres a chance yall might not be talking about Pascal in years after this is over with. Pascal might wind up in that same home Jermain Taylors in because hes that ignorant to be brave. Hes that ignorant to be brave. I didnt read that from anywhere. That just came up in my head, but yall know what it means and I know what it means. Hes that ignorant where he doesnt know, because hes young and ignorant, that hes too brave for his own good. That puts him in the same home, you know they got nursing homes, they got crazy homes, they got penitentiaries. Hell wind up in that same home that Jermain Taylor is in, because he is so ignorant that it hurts him and hes so brave that it hurts him, too. He doesnt know how to hold, he doesnt know how to foldem, and he doesnt know how to run awayKenny Rogers. You got to know all these attributes in the suit to even get through life. You cant fight every battle, and some battles are fought differently. Thats why you have the great Generals in our history books. Okay? And thats where time, not a quick learning fix, not a book is going to give you that. Its called time and if youre lucky enough, and youre blessed enough, and youre fortunate enough, all of these things you will learn about what Ive been through and did and done and back again. *** STAY TUNED FOR PART 2!!!

Coverage: WPHL
1:05 PM ET, March 30, 2013
Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
PHILADELPHIA -- Josh Johnson will never complain about this kind of run support.
Jose Bautista hit his sixth homer of the spring and the Toronto Blue Jays rode their high-powered offense to a 10-4 drubbing of the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park."It's something I can get used to," Johnson said.Playing a lineup of regulars in their exhibition finale, the Blue Jays jumped on Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick right away. Bautista took the right-hander deep with two outs in the first inning, and Toronto scored four times in the third -- highlighted by doubles from Jose Reyes and Edwin Encarnacion."We're ready to go," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "Everybody's excited. I think these two games here were good for us. It's a lot like the regular season, in a big stadium with big crowds. It helps rev things up a little bit."A crowd of 40,811 came out to watch the Phillies finish their exhibition schedule at 16-17-1, the same as Toronto. John Mayberry Jr. homered for Philadelphia leading off the third, and newcomer Michael Young had a two-run double.Johnson, acquired in a blockbuster trade with Miami during the offseason, allowed four runs and four hits in four innings for the Blue Jays. He struck out two, walked two and finished with a 2.70 ERA in 20 spring innings.The 29-year-old right-hander gave up all his runs Saturday in the third."I was just rushing," he said. "Once I calmed myself down, I made some pretty good pitches and got myself out of it. It was good to get that one out of the way."Last season, Johnson went 8-14 with a 3.81 ERA in 31 starts for the last-place Marlins.Kendrick, slated to start Philadelphia's home opener on April 5, gave up five runs and six hits in three innings. He had a 6.88 ERA in 17 innings this spring."I felt good," said Kendrick, the team's No. 4 starter. "My arm feels good. My body feels good. Today, the results obviously weren't there. I fell behind in some counts and gave up some runs. The good thing is they don't count. I'll be ready to go."Toronto also appears ready to go after an aggressive winter in which the club emerged as a top contender in the AL East. The Blue Jays acquired a four-time All-Star in Reyes, revamped their pitching staff by adding R.A. Dickey, Johnson and Mark Buehrle, and signed outfielder in Melky Cabrera, who was leading the NL with a .346 batting average last year before he was suspended for a positive drug test.Dickey, the NL Cy Young Award winner, will start the season opener Tuesday against Justin Masterson and the Cleveland Indians."We're a deep team and have everything it takes to do it," Johnson said. "Now we have to go out and do it. I've been waiting for this moment for a while. It's going to be fun."The Phillies open the regular season Monday night in Atlanta, with Cole Hamels facing Tim Hudson. The 2008 World Series champions, the Phillies were riddled with injuries last season and failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2006."There's been a lot of talk of underdog role, but we have experienced winning and being an underdog," first baseman Ryan Howard said. "A lot of that is all talk. Not to take anything away from the(Washington) Nationals. Those guys had a great season last year. They won the division, but that's why we've got to go out there and play the games. It's not 2012 anymore, it's 2013."Game notes
The Phillies set their opening day roster before the game. Humberto Quintero beat out Steven Lerud for the backup catcher's job, and LHP Raul Valdes secured the final spot in a three-lefty bullpen. ... For the second straight game, pitchers Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels assisted the Phillie Phanatic in launching hot dogs into the stands. ... Toronto closer Casey Janssen and left-handed reliever Darren Oliver stayed in Dunedin, Fla., to pitch against minor leaguers. They'll rejoin the team for Monday's workout at Rogers Centre. ... Johnson is scheduled to make his first regular-season start Friday against the Boston Red Sox. ... Encarnacion double twice and drove in a pair of runs.

From the beginning of time there was nothing more natural or understood than the structure of a family being a man, woman and children. It is shockingly narcissistic and na�ve to think that suddenly now, we the current (and temporary) stewards of the earth, have come to some sort of unfounded evolution of thought and behavior that contradicts a previously universal truth that has existed since the creation of the world.

Keywords: marriage, traditional marriage, defending marriage, marriage and family, marriage as vocation, marriage and holiness, family, children, spouses, Damien O'Connor
BRIDGEPORT, CONN. (Catholic Online) - I remember when I was a high school morality teacher, I used to show a video by National Geographic entitled, Lions in the Darkness. I'm sure that most of my students questioned my sanity for showing it to them. Nevertheless they watched the video intently. The scenes simply documented the daily habits of the lions and lionesses. The scenes revealed them copulating, hunting/eating, sleeping together, killing the weak and a total disregard for the greater good of the animal kingdom. It was simply in their nature and their DNA to act this way. This was their normal state.
The question I presented to my classes was quite simple, "How are human beings any different in today's society than the lions?" Now these were fairly intelligent adolescents yet they all struggled with this question. Some simply could not make a distinction between the lions and humans while others, rightfully so, were offended by the implication I was making about them (as part of society) through my question. Thank God for the students that were offended!
The recent debate over same-sex marriage has gained national attention in the United States and rightfully so. The institution of marriage or more appropriately, the Sacrament of marriage has been reduced to a simplistic list of qualities a couple should have if they meet the criteria for marriage as understood by mainstream society. The current language that seems to qualify a couple for marriage is:
- I/We love each other
- I/We make each other happy
- I/We enjoy intercourse together
- I/We would die for each other
There is a subtle yet dangerous dynamic that occurs in every aspect of mainstream society called Normalization. Simply put, the more we are exposed to something, the more normal it becomes and ultimately accepted. Rarely do we see qualitative or quantitative studies to substantiate that which we now consider normal even if it had always been considered abnormal or even evil in nature. Rarely do we see studies that evaluate what benefits the greater good of society, consult teachings from scripture or even basic common sense and human nature. Nevertheless normalization is all around us and it is often evil.
It has become "normal" and expected to be politically correct and yet no one can provide a credible source through which politically correct or incorrect language and behavior is elucidated. Beyond inclusive language that in many cases seems reasonable, political correctness is nothing more than an overwhelmingly persuasive way of thinking that is based in fear. Due to normalization we now live in a very strange reality: we self-censor ourselves. We are afraid to say anything, so we say nothing. This is not of God and most certainly not Christian. Society and I would dare say most politicians, do not want Catholics to think, use logic, common sense and most certainly live our faith through a radical missionary spirit: which is exactly what we are called to do through our baptism.
The marriage debate regarding same-sex couples offends me deeply not because I am anti homosexuals but because the Sacrament of Marriage is immeasurably more than how it is defined by most in society and is most certainly more than a catchy one-liner on Facebook or 120 characters on twitter. Furthermore, and to be fair, if I was in a homosexual relationship and perceived the way in which marriage is predominantly exemplified in society, it would seem only fair that same sex couples qualify for the same rights. That is precisely my point. I have never understood it as a right but as a vocation.
I knew as a young adult that I was meant to give myself to God in some way as we all are. I had grown up around priests and they deeply influenced my faith development. I witnessed the profound graces of their vocation as I observed them live their faith. I also knew them as human beings, who like me, could be Christ to others or falter and need God's mercy through the sacrament of confession. Needless to say, I was naturally drawn to the priesthood but wasn't sure if that was what God was calling me to. I began praying daily that God would show me my vocation, because we all have one. I knew that true joy could only be achieved by fully giving of myself to God and not taking or desiring that which others had. I spent over a year praying daily that I may grow closer to God and that when my vocation became clear, I would first be completely grounded in our Lord.
Then I was given the greatest gift of my life, my wife Monica. Far more important than our nascent physical attraction, love for each other and friendship, God called us to be together. The way in which we live our marriage is a Sign of the Sacrament of Marriage. Our vocation is to be a living Sign of God's love to all those we encounter, most especially our children, who through the miracle of their birth, bore witness to our Holy vocation and expanded the circle of love. Although we fail at this often, that is our constant calling and what we have given our lives for. I simply do not understand marriage outside of these parameters. Our marriage (as all marriages) is meant to be a gift to the world and ultimately God, and not a gift that I deserve or qualify for. I deserve it no more than I deserve life itself.
Since Adam and Eve the world has understood marriage and the family as the basis of a civilized society. It has always been the primary source for education, faith development, morals, dignity, self-worth, sacrifice and the stewardship of God's most precious gift, children.
From the beginning of time there was nothing more natural or understood than the structure of a family being a man, woman and children. It is shockingly narcissistic and na�ve to think that suddenly now, we the current (and temporary) stewards of the earth, have come to some sort of unfounded evolution of thought and behavior that contradicts a previously universal truth that has existed since the creation of the world.
Society needs a "new normal" regarding marriage. It is paramount that sacramentally married couples boldly live their vocations and be a very visible Sign in mainstream society. We must all pray publically for vocations to sacramental marriages. When a man and a woman desire marriage, they must understand that their preparation to receive the sacrament, is just as important as the formation prior to joining religious life or ordination to the priesthood.
They are giving their lives completely united in God. Canonically, a man and a woman have a right to be married. However, this does not presume that they are automatically predisposed to be Signs of a sacramental marriage. We must have the courage and discipline to prepare these couples with the same fervor, spirit and candor that is applied to men who desire ordination to the priesthood or women who wish to join religious life.
From the beginning of Christianity it has always been through our example that we evangelized the world. I implore sacramentally married couples to live their vocation with a missionary spirit, joyfully in the public square!
Salvation history was changed forever through a family, the Holy Family.
"At a historical moment of severe family fragmentation throughout the Western world, the example of evangelical Catholic families that share joys and burdens, and do so with wit and grace, is one of the most powerful conversion tools available to the Catholic Church." (George Weigel)

Colts Training
** SUNDAY SCHEDULES PUBLISHED WEEKLY on "Colts Fixtures" PAGE **
Colts' 2014/15 Training Timetable .
Half term is from Monday 27th October to Friday 31st October. The Sunday sessions will run as normal so it is only the weekday training that is on holiday that week. The autumn term will end on Friday 19th December (last Sunday will be Sunday 14th December). The Spring term will commence on Monday 5th January 2015, although there may be one or two training sessions or games running on Sunday 4th January. Those involved will be advised by their squad managers.
With the exception of the Junior Academy (school year 4 and below) who only train on Sundays, all outfield Colts (school year 5 and above) are expected to attend a weekly technical coaching session for 1-1.5 hours. During this time, the coaching content is delivered from the Colts' coaching syllabus prepared by the Club's Director of Hockey. Actual delivery is carried out by a team of qualified coaches, supported by international players. Colts are taught in squads. Generally the session comprises teaching of a specific technical skill, finishing with a game related to that skill.
Separate sessions are organised for training goal keepers.
We endeavour to meet our own policy of maintaining a ratio of twelve Colts to every one coach. This may be altered by the Director of Colts, Will Fulker, in consultation with the Colt and their parents.
Other pitches used by SHC Colts:
The postcode for KGS Finlay Pitch (Summer Road, Thames Ditton) is KT7 0RD.
The postcode for Reeds School (Sandy Lane, Cobham) is KT11 2ES.
If you have any queries about the training schedule and which group your child should be attending then please contact Will Fulker by email: email@example.com
Regular Training Schedule 2014/15
Monday 6.00 – 7.30pm Girls U14 Performance
Tuesday 6.00 – 7.30pm Boys U16 (all), Girls U16 Performance and Goalkeepers

Sundays 10am onwards Colts matches or training games for all squads
For the Sunday schedule – which is updated weekly, please go to the COLTS FIXTURES page of this website and click on the link for Sunday schedules.
The intention for the Sunday one-hour sessions is to play a game that may be a League/Cup/Friendly match against another Club side at home or away. Junior players tend to play mini hockey at 7-a-side, whereas the older ages are exposed to 11-a-side. If no external game is available we often arrange an internal game during which coaching tips may be provided.
With the expansion of the Colts' section an extra pitch off-site (the "Finlay Pitch") has been acquired for matches so allowing a more expansive programme of matches and training. Click here to view a map and directions to the Finlay Pitch. We are now also using the pitch at Reeds School on Sunday mornings.
Please check the Fixtures section of the website for a weekly update on the weekend training schedule as the Sunday timetable below is for general guidance only and will vary according to when a match may be scheduled.

Education technology developer Calypso Systems has opened up applications for its 21st Century Classroom grant program for 2010, the Integrated Classroom Grant.
The Integrated Classroom Grant, administered through the Calypso School First Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Calypso Systems, is designed to provide resources to support 21st century learning and access to tools to create 21st century learning experiences.
"The Integrated Classroom Grant provides a significant opportunity for schools to integrate technology into all aspects of the curriculum and alleviate administrator's hesitation to take on the risk of full deployment as they test and experiment with the technology first," said David H. Parish, president of Calypso Systems, in a prepared statement. "In this competitive market, current and future customers look to us for solid control and support with multimedia technology solutions for K-12 classrooms. The Integrated Classroom Grant provides expanded capabilities by providing schools value-added services to support 21st Century Classrooms."
Specifically, grant recipients receive an ezRoom Classroom Bundle, which consists of a variety of AV equipment, including a networked controller with touch screen, 32-watt classroom amplifier, wire and power adapter, wall plate, desktop control software, monitoring and control software, an equipment box, a projector mount, and speakers. Two K-12 grants will be awarded per month.
Further information about the Integrated Classroom Grant program, including an online application, can be found here.

"The Internet is based on two things," says Barbara Quint, editor of Searcher Magazine. "People are generous, and people like to answer questions." In that spirit, she says, numerous sites have experts that volunteer their time to answer questions.
One of the better broad-based ask-an-expert sites is allexperts.com, a subsidiary of the search engine about.com. Experts are organized by topic and answer questions via e-mail at no charge.
For those willing to pay, Kasamba.com has a similar model that also allows video conferencing. And Keen.com and Yahoo! Advice (http://advice.yahoo.com) let you talk with an expert over the phone for a fee. All three services let the experts set fees, so prices vary.
Even when you get an answer, whether from a researcher or an expert, questions remain over credibility.
Before the Internet's heyday, most public information went through professional gatekeepers such as editors, publishers, and librarians. But the emergence of online experts and self-publishing has eroded that barrier.
When a lot is riding on the accuracy of information, you have to be critical and not too easily satisfied, says Ms. Quint. You have to be able to say, "It's the perfect answer, but it's totally unacceptable in terms of source."
Of course, you should check the profile of any expert before relying on one. And even then, don't assume the information is accurate. Many online experts are no more vetted than those in the yellow pages, warns R. David Lankes, assistant professor at Syracuse University's School of Information Studies.
Recently, for example, the No.1 legal expert on Askme.com turned out to be a 15-year-old who watched Court TV. So if an expert claims to have written a book, look it up on Amazon.com or an online public library catalog.
Keen.com encourages its experts to have their credentials verified by a third party, AbsoluteBackgrounds.com. The site also relies on professional partners for some of its experts, such as Intuit for tax advisers and Microsoft for tech pros.

I found this photo via BingImages. A lady shouldn't have to light her own cigarette. |
On the shuttle to work each morning there are more and more employees and less and less seats available. This private shuttle, full of well educated and professionally creative types, is stuffed to the seams with iPod listening, messenger bag carrying men. The guy who decides to move his bag out of the way with the deep 'hassled' exhale is the rule. The man who quietly clears the seat next to him for me without being asked sans attitude (but sans the acknowledgment of eye contact either) is the exception. Is chivalry dead?
I remember being amused by a young guy a while back who waved his hand in front of the door opening motion sensor at a store and smiled so brightly at me, saying, "There you go, miss," so proud of himself that his mama raised him right. Naturally I thanked him. Perhaps chivalry is just different.
Is this what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life? I acknowledge that the rules have changed, so much so that boys grow up clueless that there used to be more to being a gentleman than a cloth napkin on your lap at the table. Years ago a man was supposed to go down the stairs ahead of a lady or up the stairs behind her in case she slips or falls. You most certainly opened the passenger seat door for her to get in and ran around from the driver's seat to let her out, hopefully with an umbrella if it is raining versus shouting to her, "Watch out for puddles!" as he pulls over to drop her off at the curb post-date. I am definitely not of an entirely different generation (yet) but I did grow up for a large part of my life in a society and culture where the guys I knew carried my books for me while walking down the hall in college, or helping lug my bag to the car. They would arrive to pick me up and sit with my mother or father for even just five minutes before I came down from my room to go out to dinner, whether it was a romantic date or a platonic hang out. A friend of mine once exclaimed that she loved my boyfriend at the time because when crossing the street together he walked "on the danger side" switching over so that he was in the way of on coming traffic, as a gesture to protect and guide us ladies. I see pedestrian couples every day touring downtown stuck on opposite sides of the street with the guys yelling from across the way, "What happened?" and the women shrieking back, "You ran ahead of me on a yellow light!"
I own the fact that I am pretty old fashioned in this regard. I imagine you either smirking while reading this or researching when on earth I was born.
"Now, who wants to get me a piece of cake?" Good old Scarlett. |
Is chivalry dead or just different? My husband is of that same society and culture, but after years living in America by the time we got together over a decade ago, he couldn't understand my dismay when he expected me to help him move a sofa up the stairs to his new apartment or carry a heavy basket of dirty clothes down the street to the laundro-mat. (dead) Nowadays when he leaves for work ahead of me, I am delighted by the chivalry exhibited from sending the elevator back up to our floor so I needn't wait for it. (different) Out in the freezing cold around the campfire, instead of coming to me with a cup of tea and a blanket he said, "Hmmm you should grab your heavier jacket in the tent. Wanna use my headlamp? You might fall in the dark." (dead again)
It's really just something I wonder about, and what I realize I need to get used to. I have accepted that the ways of the world are markedly different from the ways they were when my mother was growing up, but like her, I do hold on to the niceties. I am a lady after all, and still enjoy being treated as such. A bag lady, but still a lady.

Tevez surprised by reception
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Carlos Tevez admits he was disappointed and surprised his return to Old Trafford was greeted with a crescendo of boos. The Argentina international was back at Manchester United on Sunday for the first time since swapping red for blue over the summer. Tevez spent two successful seasons with the Red Devils before crossing the city in the close-season to join free-spending Manchester City. But the forward was roundly booed throughout City's 4-3 defeat and was thought to be the target for a missile that struck team-mate Javier Garrido as the sides left the field at half-time. It was a turn of events that has left Tevez perplexed given he had been awarded a warm reception by his former team-mates. "I must admit I did believe I would get a different reception from the United supporters," he is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail. "Initially everything was positive and I was greeted by my former team-mates and United staff without any problems at all. "But as soon as I entered the field the atmosphere was very different. It was hard to take because previously I was always wanted by those people."

US Airways Center, Phoenix, AZ
Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns have been much different on the road than at home.
Kyrie Irving continues to impress regardless of where he's playing.
Arguably the best point guard of the past decade takes on his possible heir apparent for the first time Thursday night when Nash and the Suns host Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Phoenix (4-5) is coming off another poor offensive performance on the road, falling 99-83 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night as Kobe Bryant scored 48 points. That was only nine fewer than the Suns' starting five combined.
Nash had eight assists, his fewest in five games this month, as his team was held to 42.5 percent from the field. Phoenix has failed to crack 100 points in all four of its road games, averaging 90.5 while shooting 42.4 percent, and has lost the last three.
The Suns had similar problems in dropping their first two home games, getting held below 85 points in both, but they've scored more than 100 in each of the last three and won them all. They've shot 49.0 percent from the field and averaged 24.3 assists during that home winning streak.
Nash has shot 77.8 percent from the field (21 of 27) in those three games. The two-time MVP is at 41.5 percent on the road this season while averaging 10.8 points, compared to 13.2 at home.
Irving, meanwhile, has averaged 17.1 points in his last seven games. The No. 1 overall pick tops all rookies in scoring (15.6 ppg) and is second in assists (5.1 per game).
He scored 20 points Tuesday, but the Cavaliers fell to 1/3 on their seven-game road trip with a 113-105 loss in Utah.
"This loss tonight was about us," Irving said. "We kind of beat up ourselves tonight."
Now Cleveland (4-5) looks to beat up the Suns on the offensive glass.
Phoenix has given up a league-worst average of 13.7 offensive rebounds, including 15.0 in four games over the past week. The Cavaliers are grabbing 13.0 per game in that span, among the league's best, as Anderson Varejao has reached double digits in rebounds in all four games.
The Suns let the Lakers score 18 second-chance points on 14 offensive boards Tuesday.
"We couldn't score at the end of the game and we gave up too many offensive rebounds again," Nash said. "They got 18 second-chance points. I mean, that's nearly one out of every five points that's a second-chance point, and that's too many."
However, a pair of Suns big men have gotten hot on the offensive end lately. Center Marcin Gortat is averaging 17.0 points on 69.6 percent shooting over the past four games. Forward Channing Frye is 7 of 9 from 3-point range in the last two, totaling 33 points, after going 4 for 23 through the first seven games while averaging 5.4 points.
Frye averaged 17.0 points in last season's sweep of the Cavaliers. Nash had 17.5 points and 16.0 assists per game in those two meetings.
Antawn Jamison scored 23 points in each but has lost eight straight against Phoenix -- the first six while with Washington.

The latest built from CVS is booting fine for me (working from it now), although it did take a little fixing here and there to get it to build. This had nothing to do with it being an AMD64 however, mostly to do with me changing the kernel version to 184.108.40.206 and therefore having to change squashfs, change the patches, and the like. -Doug

The glass-based microfluidic chip has widely been applied to the lab-on-a-chip for clotting tests. Here, we have demonstrated a capillary driven flow chip using the water-assisted CO2 laser ablation for crackless fluidic channels and holes as well as the modified low-temperature glass bonding with assistance of adhesive polymer film at 300°C. Effect of water depth on the laser ablation of glass quality was investigated. The surface hydrophilic property of glass and polymer film was measured by static contact angle method for hydrophilicity examination in comparison with the conventional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material. Both low-viscosity deionized water and high-viscosity whole blood were used for testing the capillary-driving flow behavior. The preliminary coagulation testing in the Y-channel chip was also performed using whole blood and CaCl2 solution. The water-assisted CO2 laser processing can cool down glass during ablation for less temperature gradient to eliminate the crack. The modified glass bonding can simplify the conventional complex fabrication procedure of glass chips, such as high-temperature bonding, long consuming time and high cost. Moreover, the developed fluidic glass chip has the merit of hydrophilic behavior conquering the problem of traditional hydrophobic recovery of polymer fluidic chips and shows the ability to drive high-viscosity bio-fluids.

What to do on your 9th straight ranked loss? I've played every position. Out of the 9 games, I had 1 or 2 bad ones, but never feeding. I've attempted to carry games, going as high as 11/5/11 jungle. Every game I get at least 1 teammate with 10+ deaths or an afk. I think I should be roughly 1550. Instead im 1200. I'm not someone who always blames it on others, but what the hell can I do?

im in the same boat as u i was at 1432 went all the way to 1148 and i had people afk/not connect ppl troll cuz they didnt get a role like dude stop *****ing play a diff role
Big Ogre
My recommendation is to take stop for the day after 3 losses in a row. Besides that always help to improve team morale(I've won games with this alone, and it can deter some from trolling). From my experience in this elo range the following in this order carries games the hardest: Mid,jungle,adc,top I put top on the bottom because most of the time I feel my top doesnt understand counter picks or snowballing or trading or basic warding and thus I almost never see one carry my game. ALso ward your lane if you have the money, don't be the idiot who gets 3 kills mid and doesnt buy at least one ward. It serves the dual purpose to stop the enemy ganks and roaming mid.

Exiles draw with Robins
Cheltenham and Newport played out a highly entertaining goalless draw at the Abbey Business Stadium in Skybet League Two.
In the first half there were very few chances with Ryan Jackson going close for the visitors, while Sam Deering had the best chance for the Robins in the opening 45 minutes.
In the 58th minute Conor Washington went agonisingly close for Newport as he waltzed his way into the Robins' box and the Newport striker's effort, which had beaten home goalkeeper Scott Brown, ricocheted off the post.
The Exiles needed a fine block from Ismail Yakubu two minutes later to deny Matt Richards as he worked his way into the area.
Jamie Cureton came close to firing the hosts into the lead 16 minutes from time when Russ Penn threaded the Robins striker through but he fired his shot straight at Lenny Pidgeley in the Newport goal.
The Exiles thought that had snatched the points 10 minutes from time when Washington fired in a shot following a Robbie Willmott corner which Cheltenham substitute Penn cleared off the line.
Cureton then went close for the hosts in the dying stages of this game but Newport managed to clear the danger.

Prairie Paws Animal Shelter's Waggin' Wagon will be at Whole Foods, 801 E. Lamar Blvd., Arlington, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 15, offering $35 animal adoptions.
Furry adoptable friends are available all over town in Grand Prairie since the Prairie Paws Adoption Center Waggin' Wagon started rolling in July of 2013. The air-conditioned and heated trailer will travel around Grand Prairie and surrounding areas with up to 21 cats and dogs making animal adoptions more convenient for citizens. All animals on the trailer will cost $35 for adoption. Most animals will be sterilized and have their rabies vaccination. Waggin' Wagon employees will accept cash, checks and all credit cards except American Express as payment for the adopted pets.
The Waggin' Wagon's colorful exterior design features psychedelic colors with photos of actual Grand Prairie shelter animals, and will be easy to spot when out on location.

When It Rains, It Pours For Donald Sterling: He's Also Been Banned From The Bunny Ranch
(Source) — Donald Sterling is not only banned for life from the Los Angeles Clippers and the NBA, a Nevada brothel owner also wants nothing to do with him. Dennis Hof has banned Sterling for life from ever entering the doors of the Bunny Ranch near Carson City, Nevada, and any of his six other brothels in the state. "A lot of NBA players come here to party," Hof told The Huffington Post. "Out of respect to them, we have banned Sterling from coming here." "At any given time, 20 to 23 percent of the prostitutes here are African-American," Hof said. "And they're smoking hot. Some of them were crying this morning so we're doing this for them as well. We don't need racists or bigots at the Bunny Ranch."
I like this. It's like the Heat with their clothes inside out, hiding the Heat logo (a team Donald Sterling does not own) for no reason. It's another way to prove you're not racist. Just ban anyone who's ever said anything racist even though they've never been to your establishment and probably never planned on going. It's a great show of solidarity. And guess what, Donald Sterling? You're also banned from Barstool Headquarters for life! And you're banned from my apartment! And my car! And any other place that I "own" (rent, we're not all rich)! You try to step foot in any of those places and you'll find a chubby kid with an inside out sweashirt and an anti-racism attitude who's ready to refuse your money and throw your ass out on the street. Be forewarned.
PS – The part about 20-23% of the hookers being black and smoking hot does kind of sting I bet. Just knowing for sure that you'll never have the chance sucks. Because no matter how racist you are, a hot chick is a hot chick and you still want to fuck her. Thomas Jefferson said that.
