Night of Sacred Music and Holy Worship-Lansing Cathedral
Blessed John XXIII Latin Mass Community will host Assumption Grotto (Detroit) choir directed by Fr. Eduard Perrone at St. Mary Cathedral (main church, not chapel) on the Last Sunday of the Liturgical Year. The evening begins with a prelude of organ music. The choir will then sing sacred polyphony from the Renaissance in its intended context: the Solemn High Mass of the Extraordinary Form of the Latin Rite (Tridentine RIte). Included will be all the rituals that make it a sacred, solemn, reverent, and transcendent experience. This is a rare event. The full Solemn High Mass is not celebrated often; even less often with polyphony performed by an accomplished choir.
This is an opportunity to experience and enjoy the beautiful, yet so-often forgotten, Sacred Music of the Church as it was meant to be experienced!
As stated in the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of Vatican II: "116. The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services. But other kinds of sacred music, especially polyphony, are by no means excluded from liturgical celebrations, so long as they accord with the spirit of the liturgical action, as laid down in Art. 30."
Blessed John XXIII Latin Mass Community is a personal parish of the in Diocese of Lansing. It was established in 2010 & is is dedicated to the Extraordinary Form of the Latin Rite (Tridentine Rite).
Open to people of all faiths.

Authors: Wassie, Kebede

Abstract: This study examines adolescent social networks and sexual practices (and how they differ among males and females of different ages) among ninth-grade students in two high schools in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Social exchange theory and group socialization theory guide the study. Other theories that the study utilizes are the theory of homophily, balance theory, the theory of self-interest, and the theory of early sexual practices. Up to now, there has been no systematic research in Ethiopia or the rest of Africa on the relationship between adolescent social networks and sexual practices. Mixed-methods research guides the study, which consists of two parts. Study A generated data from a 264-item survey of 167 respondents, to which parametric and nonparametric statistics (using a consistent alpha of .05) are applied. Study B used 10 critical cases to generate qualitative data. Critical cases are study participants selected based on their capacity to provide reliable data of interest. UCINET 6.0 was used to draw social network diagrams, and qualitative data were transcribed and subjected to content analysis. Friendship, immediate family, extended family neighborhood, and religious networks are key components of social network analysis. Friendship and family networks are two priority networks among adolescents. The family network is the most stable type and the friendship network is the most popular. The friendship network plays two important functions: information sharing and problem solving. Adolescents' like having school friends who are of the same gender, and out-of-school friends of the opposite gender. Adolescent friendship networks are the primary means for finding sexual partners. Peer influence and personal curiosity are the primary factors related to adolescent sexual debuts. Male adolescents equate sexual practices with self-actualization and adventure, while female adolescents equate sexual practices with love and emotional attachment. The adolescents' own homes and their friends' houses are the most popular settings for first engaging in sexual activity. Female survey respondents reported having more than one boyfriend, whereas male adolescents had a single girlfriend. The hypothesized associations between adolescent-parent communication and age of sexual debut were not found to be significant. The hypothesized relationships between social network variables and sexual practices were significant, as were correlations between ages at which the respondents first watched live sex and when they first masturbated. These findings concerning adolescents' relationships and reproductive health risk factors give us a better understanding of the role of social networks in adolescent health and sexual activity. Understanding adolescents' social networks is particularly important in light of the looming problem of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia and Africa. These findings are also important for social work and social development interventions. The Psycho-Social Impact of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis on People Infected by the Disease http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/4816 Title: The Psycho-Social Impact of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis on People Infected by the Disease

Authors: Getnet, Semeneh

Abstract: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (which is locally known as Shahign) is one of the neglected tropical diseases that hamper the health condition of many poor people around the world. The disease is disseminating in a highest prevalence rate and is affecting most people in different parts of Ethiopia, leaving a disfiguring scar on the patient's body. However, there are no any studies that are conducted in this area to depict the major impact of the disease on the general wellbeing of the society. Hence, this study has explored the psycho-social impact of the disease on those infected people who are living at Ankober Woreda, Mehal-Wonz Kebele. The major scheme of the research is a qualitative method of exploratory purpose. Accordingly, ten participants from cutaneous leishmaniasis patients and five additional key informants from non-infected community members are selected using purposive sampling method. By doing this, qualitative data is gathered through in-depth interviews and observation. The finding of the study has also indicated that the disease of cutaneous leishmaniasis has brought major psycho-social impact on those patients, family members as well as their close relatives. One of these is the psychological problem of the disease on the patients which includes the problem of extreme fear and anxiety, poor self-disclosure, emotional sensitivity and disturbance, as well as disgrace and the feeling of gloomy future. The other is the social problem that are related to the views of the society such as stigma and discrimination, limited social participation, rejection of social ties as well as low quality of life. ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF ROCK CHURCHES IN LASTA, NORTHERN WOLLO http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/4564 Title: ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF ROCK CHURCHES IN LASTA, NORTHERN WOLLO

Authors: NATNAEL, KETEMA

Abstract: Early churches constructed in Lasta from the sixth to the fifteenth century include churches built under protective roof of caves of different rock types and rock hewn churches excavated from largely volcanic rock with varying degree of detachment from bed rocks. The churches are believed to be hewn and constructed based on basilica architectural styles and adopting elements of Pre-Christian Axumite structures. The dates for the churches are highly depended on traditional sources. Based on these accounts more than seven churches in Lasta are established during the 6th century. Thus, they were built during the Axumite Kingdom. The expansion of the Axumite Kingdom to Lasta in the 6th century provided suitable ground for expansion of Christianity and resultant establishment of churches in the area. Cultural continuity between the Axum and the later periods is endured in rock churches of Lasta. Built up churches of Debre Damo, Yimrehane Kiristos and Imekina Medihanialem are churches product of different periods which show great resemblance to each other. There are also strong similarities in their plan and individual architectural elements of the churches of Bete Medihanialem and Genete Maryam. The churches remained hidden in mountainous landscape of Lasta. Through time some of the churches are deteriorated because of natural and manmade causes. Little is done to document, promote, conserve and research the churches. As a result the contribution of the tourism sector for development of the region and the country at large remained insignificant. ETHNOARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF GRIND STONES AT LAKIA'A IN http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/4563 Title: ETHNOARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF GRIND STONES AT LAKIA'A IN

Authors: GEBRE, TEKLU

Abstract: The Purpose of this study was to conduct an ethnoarchaeological study of grind stones at Lakia'a in order to generate ethnoarchaeologically based ideas which can help better understand grind stones in the archaeological record. Efforts have been made to address the research questions of this study using primary data and secondary sources. Simple random sampling and purposive method of sampling were employed to prepare a sample size for this study. Observation and interview methods were used to gather data from the sample and their grind stones, and grind stone quarry sites. The gathered data were analyzed and interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively. Correspondingly, the results of this study reveal that the society used grind stones of different raw materials across time. Men undertake practical raw material choice and initial stage of grind stone preparation at the quarry site while women participate in a consultation regarding raw material choice at home and prepare food for the quarry men. Women also perform exclusively the leveling work of grind stone production at home, hammerstone acquisition and the work of foodstuffs grinding. The grind stones are placed in the kitchen and are used to process wide range of foodstuffs. Grind stones are one of the best bridges that connect the people socially and economically. A grind stone and a mano can serve approximately 20-80 years and 4-7 years respectively. Grind stones are reused in the area for different uses after discard. The finding also shows that significant number of people take their useable grind stones with them while they change their settlement mainly due to cultural preference and the fear to take the risk of grind stone production. Furthermore, the finding shows that modern grinding machine could not replace traditional grind stones especially to process ceremonial foods. The results from Lakia'a are combined with the available archaeological data to strengthen the conclusions given by scholars about grinding equipments.

Religion News in Brief
ASAN, South Korea Some 7,200 South Korean and foreign couples exchanged or reaffirmed marriage vows in the Unification Church's second mass wedding this year.
Church founder Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah, offered blessings for the participating couples gathered last Sunday at Sun Moon University, the school he founded in Asan, south of Seoul.
"I pronounce marriage for the blessed beautiful women and handsome men standing before God, the Lord, the world, and myself," said the 90-year-old Moon.
The couples exchanged vows and held hands to pray during the one-hour spectacle, which was broadcast live online and through satellite television to 194 countries, church officials said.
The participating couples threw up their hands and cheered "Hurrah!" in unison.
The church apparently did not schedule the ceremony for the novelty of the 10-10-10 date.
Critics say the mass weddings prove the church brainwashes its followers. Followers routinely let Moon pick their spouses on the belief that he has divine insight and many meet their future spouses for the first time at the mass weddings.
Moon, who says he was 15 when Jesus Christ called upon him to carry out his unfinished work, has courted controversy and criticism since founding the Unification Church in Seoul in 1954.
Kansas Democratic Party questions Brownback's ties to evangelist Lou Engle
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Kansas Democrats are highlighting Republican gubernatorial nominee Sam Brownback's ties to an evangelist, saying the association raises questions about his judgment.
The Kansas Democratic Party cites Brownback's appearance at a 2007 rally for evangelist Lou Engle, who has urged Christians to fast and pray that "God, the avenger of blood" will heal the nation's sins of abortion and homosexuality.
"Does Sam Brownback know where to draw the line?" said Kenny Johnston, the Kansas Democratic Party's executive director. "It's an important question to ask about Sam Brownback's judgment."
Brownback's campaign declined to comment Tuesday on his ties to Engle. The Kansas Republican Party said Democrats are "grasping at straws" in the final weeks before the Nov. 2 election.
"Senator Brownback is a strong supporter of human rights for all people, everywhere in the world," said Amanda Adkins, chairwoman of the Kansas Republicans.
As a senator, Brownback, who is Roman Catholic, has steadfastly opposed same-sex marriage and abortion, including the use of federal funds domestically and internationally to end pregnancies.
He is favored to defeat Democratic state Sen. Tom Holland for the governor's office.
Cambridge to shut schools for Muslim holidays in what backer says is fair religious treatment
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Cambridge will close its schools for one Muslim holiday each year beginning next year.
The school will close for Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, or Eid al-Adha, which celebrates the end of the hajj, or annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
Muslims follow a lunar calendar, so the dates of holidays change each year. School administrators say they will close school on whichever holiday falls within the academic year.
If both days fall within the school calendar, the district will close for one of the days.

THANKS A MILLION.. WE'RE BOTH WINNERS; EXCLUSIVE: Couple each scoop TV prize.
A WELSH mum was celebrating yesterday after her husband scooped the top prize on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? - just five months after she won pounds 32,000 herself.
Diana Ingram, from Sully, near Cardiff, watched proudly as her army officer husband became a millionaire on Chris Tarrant's show.
He became the show's third millionaire following the success of Judith Keppel and Welshman David Edwards.
The programme is not being shown until Tuesday, but Major Charles Ingram's win was leaked by a member of the audience.
The Welsh connection win follows the triumph of Mr Edwards, 54, last April and fellow Welshman Peter Lee, who won pounds 500,000 on the programme 20 months ago.
Major Ingram, 38, of the Royal Engineers, made it an amazing hat-trick of big wins for the family.
Nursery nurse Diana, a mum of three, won pounds 32,000 on the programme in April and brother Adrian Pollock won the same amount four months earlier.
Diana, 37, now lives near Devizes, Wiltshire, but was brought up by parents Arthur and Joan Pollack at their detached home in Sully.
She said: "Our family has had quite a bit of luck in the show - we love it and watch it all the time."
Her husband answered the final question correctly: "What is the name of a number followed by 100 zeros?". The answer is a googol.
But no-one in the family was able to confirm his win because ITV has barred them from discussing the show before it is broadcast on Tuesday.
TV bosses are considering a security clampdown at recordings of the show after Major Ingram's win was leaked.
Audience members may be asked to sign a disclaimer.

Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
Firm Cervical Pillow - Perfect for side / back sleepers, or anyone with neck pain. The Cloud Pillow is a therapeutic bed pillow which correctly positions your head, neck and spine. Designed to cradle and support the natural contours of your head, neck, shoulders and back, the Contour Cloud Pillow's soft touch memory foam layer molds to fit your head and neck for unmatched softness and comfort.
Its ribbed memory foam surface allows air to circulate while quickly adjusting to your body temperature. And the exclusive contour shape and crescent shaped neck cutout design supports your head and neck without shoulder or back strain! Ideal for back and side sleepers.
Ordinary pillows don't properly support your head and neck, forcing your neck into unnatural, potentially harmful positions. Sleeping in an unsupported manner can cause the surrounding muscles in your neck and upper back to work harder which can result in a stiff, achy morning!
The Contour Cloud Pillow helps support and align the neck and spine. Your head, neck, shoulders and back "sense" the support and relax so you enjoy a deep, restful night's sleep and awake feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Your pillow comes with a custom fitted velour cover. It provides a soft sleep surface which compliments the pillow. Additional covers are available .

I first bought my pillow in 1998 at a retail store. I had been having head, neck and back pain since I was 18 years old due to an accident I had as a teenager. I still sleep on the same pillow and have the white satin pillow case it came with. Can't believe it has held together all these years. It is so rare to find a good quality product anymore. I would recommend this to anyone with pain so bad it is hard to sleep. You will see a big difference after using this pillow. So, 17 years later I am ordering a brand new Contour Cloud. I hope this one is as good as the old one.

Amazing support for neck. Finally getting a decent nights rest. It does take a few days to adapt to. It seems stiff at first.
Posted by Karan on 27th Jan 2015
I love this pillow. It helps my neck with support. I don't wake up as much as I use to with a regular pillow. It is a little firm but that is my preference for sleeping on. No problem with any smell. I did wash my cover and allow the pillow to air for the day. Have had it for about a week now.
Posted by Contour Living Customer on 25th Jan 2015

Failing To Plan Is Planning To Fail
So I have decided to take the plunge and commence my journey to online success. I have bought many programs and products over the past 18 months and have not seen much progress, mainly due to 'information overload' and a lack of focus, so it is time to make a change and really go for it. So where do I start? what do I do? what do I need?
1. A Mentor
Enter Alex Jeffreys, my online mentor. I first came across Alex through some of the products that I had bought online and the mailing lists that I was subscribed to, and over a period of months saw and heard his name mentioned increasingly as somewhat of a rising star.
This guy seemed to have all the right connections, from training and mentoring under Rich Shefren and Mike Filsaime, to cruising and swapping ideas with Multi-Millionaires including Andrew Fox. I started to realise that this was an individual that could help me and someone that I would like to align myself with.
It was then that I received a message from Ray Johnson offering the opportunity to join Alex Jeffrey's 2.0 Coaching Program, which I snapped up and am now taking the first steps with Alex and the other students to online business success.
2. A Plan
The first module of the coaching program was a scheduled 2 hour Webinar which ended up going on at least twice that length of time, and was packed full of great content and information. After that I knew I had made the right decision and was fired up!
The module talked about the importance of planning and how "An idiot with a plan is more likely to succeed than a genius without" (which I believe is a quote from T. Boone Pickens). Alex talked about having 3 seperate plans, your business plan, your entrepreneur plan and your personal plan. I have formulated these and will be posting them on my 'About' page shortly.
3. Organisation – To-Do Lists (& Did Sheets)
With the over-riding plans in place, Alex stressed the importance of being organised and breaking the plans down into manageable chunks. These may be Quarterly, 90-day, Monthly, Weekly or Daily.
The key then would be to make to-do lists around these timescales which would formulate the stepping stones to reach the goals and the plan objectives.
He also recommended having 'did' sheets so you can monitor what you actually do on a daily basis and identify where any procrastination creeps in or any areas for improvement (eg. constant web browsing in a non-business essential manner, or frequent checking of e-mail).
4. A Pledge
The final part of the expansion of the mindset and to draw focus on what you are trying to achieve was to create a pledge to yourself, so that you can begin to be held accountable. My simple initial pledge is to spend a minimum of half an hour per day on personal development. This will be with a business focus and will consist of reading or learning around topics which I can use in my business.
With these core components in hand, I have a solid foundation for developing my business and I continue onwards in my quest for success and financial freedom….

Hi Tom,
The title of this post is so powerful as it is so true, no plan will certainly lead to failure. This is a good recap of the fundamental elements required to make a business work. It's always good to go back and reference these as they are that important.
By Mark Strong, August 5, 2009 @ 6:59 am
Great post Tom!
Planning is a huge part of success in any venture and I can tell you are on your way:) I like your writing style and am looking forward to hearing more from you.
Take care,
By Rod Macbeth, August 5, 2009 @ 5:23 pm
Hi Tom,
Planning certainly is important and it's something I'm having a fair bit of difficulty with while being involved with the course. It may just be a bad excuse but it seems there's always things popping up with it that throw me off the path. Whatever the cause may be definitely something I have to work on.

Great concepts here. Quite often it's the obvious which is unsaid and overlooked and can be the key to succeeding.
By David Walker, August 6, 2009 @ 5:34 pm
Hi Tom,
I can't argue with anything here. With a solid plan to follow and keeping yourself accountable along the way you are set to achieve more in one day than most people striving online manage in a week.
By Andrew Vaughan, August 7, 2009 @ 1:54 pm
Hi Tom,
By focusing on Planning, your making exactly the right start you need to Tom.
Great advice for any newbie – start by planning waht you want to do.
Can I offer some help with your header title? Let me know if so.
Keep in touch,
By Sean Beardmore, August 9, 2009 @ 6:44 am
Hey Tom,
Well, until recently I didn't have a plan or any goals written down. But now I have and everything is falling into place.
It's about having that foundation instead of just going from one thing to another and going around in circles.
I was dizzy!
Great post Tom,
Tak soon
By Dump trucks, August 12, 2009 @ 4:50 am
yea the title is very attractive and very much right. Without planning one cannot achieve its future things. Everything needs proper planning as to be done perfectly
By Richinec(AJ mentee), August 12, 2009 @ 2:47 pm
Great start with your blog site; great content in your post. Keep moving on.
By Melanie Steeden, August 12, 2009 @ 11:36 pm
Hey Tom,
Your blog is looking great. Your post was a good reminder for me about going back to my pledge and also continuing to do my 'daily did sheets'. It is amazing how quickly we can forget the basics .
Keep up the great work.
Cheers Mel
By Paul Wilson, August 13, 2009 @ 12:27 am
Hey Tom,
This is so true, without a plan we are doomed to fail!!
I lost focus for a couple of days, but now I have my plan back in place it's all kinda cool
Talk real soon
By Thomas Bartke, August 13, 2009 @ 6:56 pm
Hey Tom:
It's true and great – almost an "adage" about planning and failing!
I find that it helps me a lot to use"planning tools" even for small tasks, for example when I create a new video, or structure a 45 minute segment of focused work.
My favorite planning tool is to create a mind map. And I find it really helps. DOing it on the small stuff helps you get practice and discipline in using it.
By Dave Whittle, August 13, 2009 @ 7:46 pm
Hi Tom,
Good content, well put.
Your blog title " Failing to Plan is Planning To Fail" says it all and to be honest it gave me a wake-up call as it is easy to start forgetting the basics.
Keep up the great blogging. I will come back to see what you have to say next time ;o)
By Paul Norwine, August 15, 2009 @ 4:41 pm
Hi Tom –
Great post brotha. It's true that "without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination." You become busy without moving forward. Know where you want to go, plan actions that will get you there, and move your feet!
Glad to see you on the AJ course and taking action. Talk to you soon….Paul
By Avis Williams, August 17, 2009 @ 8:55 pm
Hi Tom
Very good post…To me having the right plan of action, is more important than having a plan in the first place. it is important to set deliverable goals that need to be accomplished at a set time, otherwise if you dont execute your goals, the plan will fail anyway.
By Jacinta Dean, September 30, 2009 @ 5:20 am
Hi Tom,
I just thought I would pop by and say hello and return the visit from my blog!
I really like your style of writing and your truth. Alex sounds like he is an awesome mentor. Mentors are so important when we are learning as well as the community we learn with.
I really like the plan ideas. I have sort of been working to a plan. I have a goal board on the wall opposite me when I am working at the computer and have my goals posted on 6×4 cards. I look at them everyday and the one that gets me the most is the card in the middle that says: "Stay Focused"
It can be so easy to get side tracked…but one of my favorite sayings is "The Tortoise always wins the race".
Stay focused and have fun!
Kind Regards
By Karen Kalata, September 30, 2009 @ 12:42 pm
Hi Tom,
This post immediately caught my eye, becuase this is the exact area that I want to improve on. I have decided to spend four hours per week on planning alone and then planning tomorrow, today. Like Alex said.
And thanks for the reminder in your post – about having a personal pledge. That's actually something that I do not have right now, that I want to create.
Great post Tom and your blog is coming along wonderfully,
By Tomharvey, September 30, 2009 @ 12:49 pm
Thanks for stopping by. Alex has been a great and inspiring mentor and has way over-delivered what i think we all expected when we signed up to his program. I think your goal board sounds a great idea, I have some 'wish list' type pictures behind my computer to remind me of my aims, but perhaps a focus quote would be a useful addition!
All the best
By Tomharvey, October 2, 2009 @ 12:07 am
Thanks for the visit. I have just been re-visiting my plans after the coaching call the other night in order to revise and stretch my goals. Sometimes I find the hardest thing to do is get the time to plan as you feel a need to plough on.
Are you going to publish your plans/pledge in the forum as then you can be held accountable!! Speak soon

The Otmoor Challenge & Fete
THE 36th ANNUAL OTMOOR CHALLENGE
The first Saturday in June is well established on the runners' calendar as "Otmoor Day" and we welcome runners from a wide area, mostly covering the South and Midlands, but also from much further afield. We welcome all classes of competitor, from good club runners to those who have challenged themselves to just complete a half-marathon, and that is where the name of the event comes in. The course is a mixture of roads and trails, mostly flat, but with the "never-ending field" leading, at the 11 mile point, to a long climb up the hill to Beckley. The reward, however, is a view of the last mile and a half as far as the finish in the middle of the Horton-cum-Studley village fete.
In 2014 there were 335 finishers from 341 starters. Very heavy rain during the morning created muddy and sticky conditions underfoot, combined with very warm and humid weather during the afternoon. This prevented any record-breaking performances, but David Bruce of Oxford City AC repeated his winning performance of 2013 in a time of 1:15:24 , whilst the Ladies' race was won by Jessica Bruce of Headington Road Runners in 1:32:18, giving the Bruce family a clean sweep of the major prizes. Paul Fernandez of Abingdon AC, a stalwart of the event and a previous multiple winner, came second in 1:15:40, with Karmen Pardoe finishing second in the Ladies' race in 1:34:23. Paul and Karmen each won their respective Veteran's Cups, while Robert Pettingell of Handy Cross Runners won the Men's Supervets in 1:28:52 and Jo Gundle of Bicester Tri Club took the Ladies' Supervets trophy in 1:47:01. The reorganised runner's registration system speeded up the formation of 4-person teams and, as a result, 14 men's and mixed teams and 4 ladies teams competed. The winning Men's and Mixed team was Oxford City A (Aaron Burgess, Les Newell, Darrell Bellinger and David Bruce), with the winning ladies team being Alchester A (Sam Usher,Emily Fidler, Olivia Underhill and Wendy Hunter).
The Half Marathon Run starts at 2 p.m. and the Challenge cups and prizes are awarded to the winners in each category after the race. The first 350 runners home each receive an Otmoor Challenge medal. Other runners and walkers who complete the full course are awarded a tracksuit badge.
Walkers too can enjoy an organised event around the footpaths and bridleways of the area. Many entrants return year after year to take in the beautiful countryside and birdlife, helped by the very active presence of the R.S.P.B. Walkers may start any time between 9 a.m. and noon, choosing either the 13 mile or the 5 mile route. The long route nearly replicates the runners' half-marathon, whilst the short route is ideal for families and younger walkers. The heavy rain of 2014 put off many of the walkers, and only 132 hardy souls braved the elements on the morning of 7th June.
The fete offers entertainment for all the family, as well as much-needed refreshments for runners and walkers who finish the course. Stalls can supply all sorts of food, ranging from sandwiches, cakes and ice creams to barbeque hot dogs and burgers. A licensed bar is, of course, an essential aid to runner recovery! As always, we need plenty of helpers and supporters, both on the day but also in the setting-up and clearing away. Any villager prepared to volunteer please contact the organisers. The Otmoor Challenge is our prime opportunity of the year to enjoy working together as a community in a common endeavour. Our excellent Millennium Hall provides changing rooms, toilets and showers for runners and walkers, and is also a cornerstone of the fete, providing space for stalls and refreshments — and, with the big marquee, shelter should it be necessary.
The money raised benefits mainly local charities and other good causes in our own village and in the surrounding areas. We welcome and encourage the help of all those interested in adding to the success of the day by their support for local causes. Runners and walkers pay an entrance fee, but are welcome to raise sponsorship in addition for their favourite charities. The Otmoor Challenge Association encourages entrants to use JUST GIVING or similar websites to collect their sponsors' contributions. Entrance monies raised, after deduction of expenses, go to charities and good causes.
The 100th runner home is awarded an obelisk trophy in memory of Ted Ogden, who was one of the founders of the event. The Challenge is his legacy and is now run by an enlarged team of organisers from whom further information may be obtained:
Basil Lyster (01865-351373)
Runners should print the Registration Form, complete the information requested, and send it, together with a cheque for the appropriate amount, to Jill Meyjes at the address shown on the form. Please provide an email address, if you have one, for us to acknowledge receipt of your entry.

Um....there Is no way that miles can win this.
@metalsonic: How so?
His venom blast also took out the Ultimate Venom and (I think after a few tries? can't remember exactly) the Ultimate Stature as well.
Miles' camouflage probably won't help due to her other senses.
He could conceivably web her down so she can't move her arms to free herself.
She's obviously a way more experienced fighter, but he's done surprisingly well against his villains so far. He's beaten the Rhino, Prowler, Scorpion, lots of bad guys in a war-like situation. He's way faster than her, and way stronger than her.
Her main advantage will be tactical knowledge. Assuming morals on, since it's not noted in the OP, she's somewhat curtailed in what she's going to do with him, while he has a decent chance at temporary KO, and then incapacitation, or just straight-up incapacitation.

the 2nd death of ultimate spider man
@wolverine08: How?
Miles still isn't that experienced yet, X-23 was bred to be a perfect assassin with prodigious fighting skills while she was a fetus, her healing factor will allow her to tank Miles blows, and she can eventually get a stab or two in with her claws, then it'll be over for Miles.
@wolverine08: I dunno Miles Morales's Venom Blast took out Ultimate Venom who have a good healing factor.
Miles wins easy.
While at the moment Miles does not have the same strength feats as Peter he does have couple of ton strength.
1-2) KOes Giant woman with a punch to the face.
3) Lifts a heavy frame Cop Car over his head with ease.
Speed and Agility
Miles is Proven as Agile and as Peter as well.
1) Miles moving to fast to be hit by multiple trained Hydra, Hydra who are professionally train by Nick Fury himself.
2) Miles dodges the very highly train SHIELD, and you can see moves as fast as the bullets are traveling.
3) Moves faster than the accurate Targeting Computers and fire power of these Warmachine Suits.
Miles Durability as a 13 year old is nothing short of incredible.
1) Miles takes kicks from Batroc who can crush Concrete Roads with his leg power.
2-3) Miles takes a vicious slam from Giant woman that only stuns him. Giant Woman has shown to lify easy 60+ tons, so winding her hand back and slamming Miles with all her strength is a major feat.
4-5) Miles tanks a large Explosion at point blank range.
6) Miles tanks another Large Explosion in his face.
7) Scorpion has Super Human Strength and Durability. As seen he can crush super hard concrete floors with his fist and leave craters. He punches Miles in the face and it just causes Miles to see stars for a second.
Miles like Peter does not skimp of the Web Spam.
Miles web spamming SHIELD troops while dodging bullets.
Spider Sense
Just like Peter, Miles has a Spider Sense to warn of general danger.
1-2) Warns him of the Cops ready to shoot.
3-4) This is to show it even works on other Spider man powered people, like Spider Woman who is a near exact clone of Peter.
This Spider man has a new power in Stealth. A useful ability he uses in Combat.
1) Goes Invisible on Cops.
2-3) Goes Invisible on 616 Peter, then uses it for a sneak attack.
4) Uses it on Prowler to get some space and counter attack.
Venom Sting
This is the best power a Spider Man character can ask for. Works by utilizing a undentified energy generated by Miles body that causes immense pain. It has KOed super Human durable beings with a touch. however it also has a second delay reaction at times. This Venom Sting works on anything whether Organic or Non Organic.
1) Blows up a Lego set.
2) Conductive through webbing. This larger Venom sting also KOed 616 Peter for hours.
3) KOes the Super Durable Mutant Omega Red.
4) Destroys the Mech Suit Rhino.
5) KOes the Super Durable and High Pain Tolerance Scorpion.
6-7) One shots Venom.
Miles very first battle against Electro. Who in this battle was spanking the Ultimates.
His second battle is with Omega Red. Same mutant who gave a season Peter a hard time every time.
Beats the Ringer while learning his own limits still.
This is the battle of Prowler and Scorpion, just to show how skilled Prowler is and how Super Human Scorpion is. After this battle Prowler decides to enlist Miles help. He then gets in a scuffle with Miles to test his nephew out. Miles stats were way too much.
Miles fights the Super Human Scorpion and his little King Pin empire. Once he realize the Durability, Venom Sting.
Here Miles proves that he will do what it takes to put someone down, even his Uncle the Prowler who is the greatest Thief in America and proven quite the skilled fighter with the Tinkerers best toys.
The whole fight of the Mainstream peter vs Miles. In this both are holding back, however it is a great showing of Miels advantage of his added powers in both Invisibility and Venom sting that allow Miles to beat the way more skilled Mainstream Spider Man.
Miles and the mainstream Peter team up against Mysterio who turns out to be mechanical suits operated by the Mainstream Mysterio the whole time.
Miles second encounter with Mysterio. Mysterio was pulled into the Ultimate universe and it was Miles who proceed to beat the snot out of him while everyone else was suffering from illusions.
After this the Divided We Fall and United We Stand event happens.
Miles vs Batroc, a being with legit Super Strength and Agility.
Miles comes across a battle between Cap and Rhino. He intervenes and quickly ends the battle.
Miles battles for his life when Hydra sneak attacks the Ultimates home base. Proving himself capable to Cap he becomes part of the Ultimate Team.
Miles is part of the massive final battle of SHIELD and the Ultimate vs Modi and Hydra. Miles saves Captain America by destroying a group of Warmachines, but gets knocked far away from the main battle. Trying to make his way back, he comes across a Giant Woman who is loyal to Hydra. Already tired and fatigue, he battles the SHIELD train traitor and comes out on top.
Miles faces one of Peters greatest foes, Venom.
So in the end Miles has Webbing which can tie X-23 up or the one touch win Venom Sting for the KO.
Miles wins easy. GG
@cadencev2: While I do agree that Mile's abilities are impressive, your points operate under the assumption that Miles is faster than X-23. I would say that their speed is about the same. X has also been shown to outmaneuver targeting systems and not only dodge bullets but cut through them while they are in the air.
I have also gone through the supporting evidence you have linked to show Miles's overall fighting ability. They are impressive, but nowhere near X-23's level. He has taken out some very powerful villains, true. But according to your evidence, most of his victories were due to his powers (agility, Venom Sting, etc) and basic S.H.I.E.L.D. training. While he may have taken down a multitude of Hydra personnel, it doesn't counteract the fact that X-23 has taken down entire Hydra bases by herself as well as other powerful enemies. X-23 also has the benefit of extensive espionage and strategy training.
The few powers that Miles has over X-23 are his webs, Venom Sting, invisibility, and spidey sense. Being familiar with X's fighting style I can say that:
- She would not get close enough to activate his spidey sense and/or would not make herself known until it is too late for Miles.
- Invisibility doesn't work with X. Her supersensory smell and hearing counteract it.
- I honestly doubt that he would be able to pin all of X-23's limbs with his webs before she is able to free herself. I am assuming that adamantium has the ability to cut through the high-density spider-fiber that Miles produces.
- If X-23 were going in to kill or apprehend Miles, she would have done her research before hand and learned of his Venom Sting (which I assume would be in either S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database or the Avenger's database) and would be careful not to let him touch her.
So, while it is possible that he could take down X-23, I would find it a highly unlikely outcome considering X-23's training and experience. At the very least, it would not be an easy victory for him.
@bigroundthing: Miles still has the best ways winning IMO.
Skill goes to X-23 hands down and speed are roughly same. She would stab him, cut him, ect before the fight is over. However the over all abilities are in Miles favor.
- Webbing. He has Web Spam people and can do so again. X-23 has no counter for this.
- Venom Sting. Should she get close to cut and stab, then Miles can end the fight with a touch.
- Invisibility. This is not useless, it is still very useful in fact. Sure she can smell and hear him. However she has no clue were his Vital Organs are or how close his hands are to her face for a Venom Sting. She can only reasonably at best determin his location via senses.
- Spider Sense. Still helpful to keep X-23 ninjaing Miles.
- Strength. Always helpful as he cannot be physically overpowered by her.
- Durability. X-23 issuperior here of course, however Miles been through major explosions with shrapnel and come out of it very much fine. He can take the pain of a few slashes.
IMO Miles has the superior tool set even if he is lacking skill.
@cadencev2: I still believe it would depend on whether or not she is planning to kill him. If she is, the few cuts she will manage to land will all be lethal or debilitating. It's kind of hard to walk off a slashed achilles tendon.
I am curious to how fast his webbing gets shot out. If it were to go as fast as bullets, then I believe she would have the ability to dodge it and/or slash through the webs before they inhibit her.
The Venom Sting would be his greatest advantage, mostly because X-23 is a close-range fighter. I wonder if Miles can deliver the sting through any weapon penetrating his skin (from the scans above it looked to have electrical properties). That would turn X-23's claws against her, ensuring his victory.
It's hard to say how effective invisibility would be, mainly because the one canon instance I know of where X-23 has taken down an invisible enemy, she was hopped up by her trigger scent. However, the scent did not coat his entire person and she was still able to deduce his whereabouts enough to be able to stab him directly in the eyes, killing him instantly. (I really wish I had scans of this, the scene is so cool.)
Also, super-hearing allows her to pinpoint his heartbeat/heart, which is an unfortunately noisy vital organ.
So, yes I agree, he does have the superior tool set. Though I am wondering if he has enough strategic experience to utilize it to his advantage, especially against someone as ruthless and precise as X-23.
(This is all assuming that she plans to kill him. If she isn't then Miles would definitely win.)

ends in bed and x-23 will be the man lol but she should be able to handle him without much effort shes put down bigger and badder miles is the least powerful spiderman from what ive seen
X-23 wins. Miles one high end feat with spider-man is something she basically replicated in there fight anyways so thats not a big deal. She has enhanced senses to counter cloaking, and Miles still hasn't done well against a skilled fighter as of yet too my knowledge. Her healing factor will help.

Roman Catholicism in Armenia
The Catholic Church in Armenia is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. There are around 110,000 Catholics in Armenia, representing about 4% of the total population.
Territorial jurisdictions and Dioceses[edit]
There are two territorial jurisdictions in the country - an Apostolic Administration for those of the Latin Rite and an ordinariate for the faithful of eastern rite for those of the Armenian Rite. The latter covers other Catholics in Eastern Europe of the Armenian rite.
Within the Armenian community[edit]
The Catholics have always lived somewhat separate from the Armenian Apostolic communities, and intermarriage is not very common. Some of the Apostolics refer to the Armenian Catholics as "Franks," which derives from the influence of French Catholic missionaries in the region.[1]
The Shirak Province is the traditional home of Armenian Catholics. In the province Catholics live in 7 villages including: Arevik, Panik, Lanjik, Azatan, Dzithankov, Mets Sepasar, Ashotsk. In the Lori Province Catholics live in 6 localities: Tashir, Katnarat, Katnaghbyur, Petrovka, Saratovka, Blagodarnoye.
The few Poles left in Armenia along with some new immigrants who are Roman Catholics (Latin Rite) live in Yerevan.

'Stop removing midday meal workers using Union Government's circular'
Workers of the government's midday meal programme in the district demanded that the government stop removing workers from service by using a Union government circular and stop privatisation of the programme here on Tuesday.
Raising slogans against the B.S. Yeddyurappa Government, Karnataka Rajya Akshara Dasoha Naukarara Sangha slammed the Government for trying to reduce the number of cooks while extracting more work from the rest.
According to a Union Government circular of July 28, 2010, one person should be appointed for 25 children and two persons if their number was between 26 and 100. However, in the State, the ratio had been two persons for 26-70 children, and three for more than 75 children. The workers, who are affiliated to the Centre of Indian Trade Unions, said the State government should stop firing people on the pretext of the circular and demanded that they continue the present arrangement in the State.
CITU district secretary Vasanth Achary said the salary of the workers under the programme should be raised to Rs. 6,000 as was the norm in Puducherry. At present, they were paid a paltry Rs. 1,100 for a cook and Rs. 1,000. "The government should be ashamed to pay Rs. 40 a day," he said.
ISKCON slammed
Dudiyuva Mahileyara Samanvaya Samiti vice-president Padmavati Shetty criticised the move to hand over the cooking of the midday meal on contract to International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). She said that ISKCON staff went from school to school in Mangalore and made the school development committees hand over the contract to them.
As a result of handing over the programme to private contractors, 20,000 women became unemployed, despite this the committee that had probed the allegations against ISKCON gave the organisation a clean chit.
The workers demanded payment of honorarium within the first week of the month, payment of arrears and payment of honorarium every month rather than once in three months, regularisation of services, wages for Dasara holidays.
Our Udupi Correspondent adds:
The members of the district unit of Karnataka Rajya Akshara Dasoha Naukarara Sangha (State Midday Meal Workers' Association), affiliated to the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), staged a dharna before the zilla panchayat here on Tuesday seeking fulfilment of their various demands.
In a memorandum submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of zilla panchayat N. Rajashekhar, the association said that the midday meal scheme was introduced by the government to check dropouts from schools.
Keywords: midday meal programme, ISKCON, stop privatisation, Union Government

Indonesia, Australia sign Code of Conduct agreement to end spying row
Published on Aug 28, 2014 3:25 PM
NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AFP) - Indonesia and Australia on Thursday signed an agreement aimed at drawing a line under a damaging espionage row and paving the way for the resumption of full cooperation on issues such as defence.
Ties between the neighbours sank to their lowest point in years in November after reports that Australian spies tried to tap the phones of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his inner circle. Jakarta recalled its ambassador from Canberra and suspended cooperation in several areas over the incident, including efforts to stop people-smuggling boats reaching Australia.
Dr Yudhoyono called for a code of conduct to govern behaviour and, after months of talks on the issue, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and her Indonesian counterpart Marty Natalegawa on Thursday signed an agreement.
With Dr Yudhoyono looking on, the pair inked the deal, named the "Joint Understanding on a Code of Conduct between the Republic of Indonesia and Australia", at a ceremony on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.

The idea originated with a column in one of our favorite magazines, but can easily be adapted to a variety of styles and information.
Consider devoting an entire binder to one room, or use dividers to arrange by room, subject or completion date. For fabric scraps, business cards and other hard-to-corral items, add in some clear page protectors that are also handy for holding magazine pages if you'd prefer to recycle the rest of the issue.

Day 7 - Friday - Finally Home
I didn't wake up until 7:30 this morning. I guess the trip is catching up with me as well. Although we have decided to make it all the way home today, I'm letting Mrs. Liberia sleep in again. So off with the computer to the breakfast buffet. Nothing there that I need to eat but the coffee is good.
About 9:00 I decide to take lunch, I mean breakfast, up to sleeping beauty. I wake her up and provide some toast, fruit, etc. plus the coffee and then leave to gas up while she gets ready. The bed has been incredibly comfortable. Hampton Inns are always good.
So we leave Boone on US-321 for Johnson City, TN where we will pick up I-26 West and pick up I-81 South near Bristol, TN. I-81 will take us to I-40 West which will go through Knoxville, TN and finally to Hwy 96 which will eventually get us close to home. 340 miles and we'll be home. Unfortunately most of it is on Interstates.
The nice thing about the first 50+ miles is that it will look a lot like the BRP as we travel through the Cherokee National Forest. Perhaps more traffic, including trucks, but still a nice ride.

A good Cracker Barrel lunch just west of Knoxville
Within an hour or so of home we cross the Center Hill Dam
Caney Fork River on the right
Center Hill Lake on the left
Highway 96, getting closer to home
Three's a crowd
We continue on the last 45 minutes through Woodbury, TN and then to Murfreesboro. After a quick stop by the church to make sure a band that's using the facilities are okay, we make the final 18 miles home. Wow is it good to be home.
I'll post a summary of the trip including how the bike handled, recommendations for others taking this trip, gas mileage, etc. either later tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for going along on the trip with us.

No, there isn't, sorry.
Unless they decide to add it in in the English release (which they have done before in Pokemon, for example, once before), there won't be. And that's looking unlikely due to the fact it wan't in the demo.

Maggie Klein's Squash Gratin with Garlic and Olive Oil
This recipe comes from a book by Maggie Klein, owner of the justly famous Oliveto restaurant. This remains my favorite recipe from Maggie's book, and one that I have been serving for Thanksgiving dinner just about every year since then.
Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 11:28 AM
- 5 pounds butternut or other firm orange squash
- 12 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large bunch parsley, finely chopped
- 1 heaping teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 3⁄4 cup olive oil
Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
Peel and seed the squash and cut it into 1⁄3-inch cubes.
Combine in a large bowl with the garlic and parsley.
Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle in the flour and toss until all the cubes are coated with flour.
Oil a large gratin dish or wide, shallow casserole with a little of the oil.
Spread the squash mixture in the dish and drizzle the remaining oil over the squash in a crisscross fashion.
Bake until the top forms a crisp, brown crust, about 2 hours.
Time Estimates
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 15 min
Serves 12
Good to know
Years ago, after the manuscript for my first cookbook was done, my publisher hired me to test recipes for another book, on olives and olive oil. The author, Maggie Klein, went on to open the justly famous Oliveto restaurant in Oakland, and her book has gone through a couple of incarnations but is now out of print. If you can find a copy of either the original 1983 Aris Books edition of The Feast of the Olive or the later Chronicle Books edition, jump on it.
Thanksgiving Dinner
- Leek and Potato Soup
- Cider-Brined Roast Stuffed Turkey with Giblet Gravy
- Rye Bread and Apple Stuffing
- Mixed Rice Jambalaya
- Cranberry-Orange Relish
- Maggie Klein's Squash Gratin with Garlic and Olive Oil
Your turn to host Thanksgiving? There's no need to hide the beer and serve only wine. Here is a menu that should satisfy the traditionalists but provide plenty of opportunity to show off your favorite seasonal beers. There's also enough meatless stuff here to take care of the vegetarians in the crowd. (Note that this is not a complete menu; let those folks who ask what they can contribute bring the salad, bread, and pie. Assign someone to bring wine or other beverages for the non-beer drinkers.)
