Pyrenees offroad knowledge base
Recently a few people have asked me various good questions about Pyrenees off roading, none of which I was able to answer.
I thought it was time to start a thread and shed some light on the situation.
Any knowledge on the legal situation, access issues, and above all TIPS for choice rides are needed.
Bring it on.
In particular I'd love to know of very scenic pistes which are not too technical, beacuse I'll be going through on Africa Twin, but nice trails to get out of civilisation a bit.
Ride Reports are a good source of info...
That looks fantastic, the "Boucle Catalane" is right in my area and seems like an "easy roller" as they say in French.
Legal Situation. (for Catalonia)
On the web is only available in catalan.
art.5 Identification
-All motorised vehicles (MV) need a license plate.
art.6 Roads
-In "areas of special protection" (law 12/1985) the circulation of MV is only permitted on trails and rural roads specifically named in the area management programs.
-The roads open to MV must be pavimentated or be 4 or more meters wide.
-It is forbidden to circulate outside of the roads or trails.
art.8 Restrictions and prohibitions
-In the "areas of special protection", in hunting reservoirs, natural reserves and wild fauna refuges, the gov. has the right to establish seasonal limitations or limitations related to the max speed, type of vehicles or any other needed to preserve the area.
-Local authorities have the right to establish limitations on the roads that are his responsability.
-The access to natural spaces can be banned if there is risk of fires or there are fires.
art.11 Signposting
-The Administration that restricts or limitates the acces is responsible to properly signal the roads that have specificall limitations or bans.
-The signals have to placed at the entering and exiting of the roads.
-The max. speed will be 30km/h.
art.16 Groups
-In "areas of special protection" the maximal number of vehicles in a group is 7 motorbikes or 4 cars.
-In the rest of areas the limit is 15 vehicles. This number can be reduced or the circulation banned if the admin. considers it necessary.
art.17 Organized activitys
-For organized group activitys, it is needed the approval of the route by the gov., the corresponding Catalan Federation (cars or bikes), the local gov. etc...
-It is forbidden to ride in groups during the night time.
The penaltys for not respecting this regulations have changed since this. I think they are now, for example, 150€ if you ride on forbidden places. But if they catch you a second time the penalty will be then 3.000€.
The Gov. is now planning changes to this law, but everything is allways soooo slow in the Admin. :huh
Hope it helps, even if I put some strange words in the translation :D
Art. 11 in particularly is encouraging! I know that in my road tours here, I've seen many interesting trail/piste heads, but wondered if it they were legal. I guess that if they're not posted, I can go?
The 4m is for the whole lenght of the road, not only for the entrance... what makes the law almost impossible to follow. The gov. knows it.
One of the changes beeing studied id the creation of a "green license". You pass some exams to see if you're able to ride on the mountain without destroying it (*) and the you get your license.
If you're seen violating the rules, you get a fine and loose your license, so byebye trails.
(*)we have to see what the standards will be. I fear allready...
I imagine that the difficulty in following the 4m loose guideline (that's how I'll think of it:D) must make it equally difficult to apply?
The people you see is basically trying to have a nice day with bikes and friends. Nearly all of them will have to break the law at any point because it is simply not reallistic.
There are a lot of "open" tracks, but there are also many "closed".
4m: It is very easy to apply... they wait at some part where the road is narrower and they can stop everybody.
They are more permissive with DS bikes than with enduro, as the DS normally have all papers and plate in order and the riding is supposed to be more relaxed.
Sadly, I dont know much about off road in the Pyrénées but I know inmates who do: Aurel & kimangao.
I'll send them here
In 1998 I rode around the Andorra area on my TS200R and covered areas in Alt Urgell, Pillars Sobira and Cerdanya and a lot of the tracks I rode were marked as "cami" on the maps I used. Shown as a single black line.
Can you tell me if it is still legal to ride these tracks? I heard rumours that the rights to ride certain types of route had been changed recently.
Anyone know the answer?
Or is it as simple as no sign and 4m wide is good to go? Actually, 4m is quite wide...........almost a main road in rural parts.
[1] Mate fell ill for a day or so so he stayed in bed while I bimbled around the Sort / Andorra area.
This document is titled "Natural Areas". Does that mean National parks or does it mean everywhere?

Blackberry Q10 Announced + Specs Brings Back The QWERTY Keyboard
Of all the announcements coming out of Blackberry, (again, no longer RIM), the one that seems to be getting the most flack and stirring the most buzz is not the iPhone-battling Blackberry Z10. It's also not their elevation of Alicia Keys from the heart throb of some employee, to full-on Spokesperson and Global Creative Director for the company. In a wonderful bit of tech drama–but sadly not the buzz of which we speak–the new spokeswoman has been tweeting from an iPhone today. Oops! But I digress…
It's Blackberry Q10 that's causing all the commotion. This is Blackberry's 2nd official Smartphone announcement today. Arguably the Q10 carries the heart of the company on it slee…er, QWERTY keyboard with familiar functionality and a highly revamped design. The Blackberry Q10 is powered by a 1.5GHz processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of baked-in storage space. Like the Z10, Blackberry Q10 also features MicroSD slot, 8-megapixel camera on the back and 2-megapixel front-facing camera. It has the ubiquitous QWERTY board but also struts with a 3.1-inch super AMOLED touchscreen capable of 330 pixels per inch for a 720 x 720 display resolution.
I see you iPhone cool kids sneering in the background. Blackberry Q10 isn't for you guys. This is for the business class and all those in between who still cling tenaciously to the hope that QWERTY would rise anew. Well your prayers are answered and it's Blackberry Q10.
Pricing, availability and carriers are all big mysteries right now. More on this one as it develops.

Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
I've googled around and searched here on the forums, and haven't found anyone having this exact problem. So, here it is. I'm testing mplayer and vdpau on h.264 mkv's. I see the tearing when composite is enabled. However, disabling composite makes things worse. The whole screen flashes and flickers almost like slow strobe effect. When connected via DVI versus component at 1080i, the flashing leads to a black screen (perhaps X lock up, because nothing brings it back but restarting X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)). For now, I'm living with the tearing, because it is much more usable and watchable than the screen flashing.
Here's the hardware and software that I am using.
Mythbuntu 8.10 with JYA's VDPAU patches enabled.
Nvidia drivers are 180.37
Mplayer version is dev-svn-runknown-4.2.3
compiz not installed or enabled
ECS motherboard with 7050 chipset
E2180 Pentium Dual-core 2.0 Ghz
8400GS with 256mb (reported when component output enabled)
with 512mb (reported when DVI output enabled ... huh?)
Anyone with the same problem? Any suggestions?
I can post a vdpau report perhaps tonight. Any other info needed? I was trying to test it yesterday, and kept getting the black screen and having to restart X. One time I had to reboot because I couldn't restart X even.
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
Yes, please post an nvidia-bug-report; hopefully your system log has some messages in it that'll indicate what's happening. Also, follow the instructions in the "reporting VDPAU problems" sticky; it's possible some error messages will be generated from that which will shed some light on this.
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
2 Attachment(s)
Here's the nvidia bug report, plus a mplayer log file. I set the bug trace and debug modes like the sticky said, but I didn't notice anything different in the mplayer output. Is there a log somewhere else that is generated?
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
The VDPAU debug log (if any) would appear on stdout/stderr of MPlayer; it's quite possible there was none in this case.
I don't see anything in the logs nor the bug report file to indicate what's going on. I assume this was using your TV out (i.e. not DVI), where you just get flashing, but not black screens and X hangs? Is it possible for you to repeat the process using DVI (run MPlayer and the bug report script over an ssh session) It's possible that this will generate different error messages in the bug report file.
Finally, could you take a short video of the flashing and post a link to it?
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
Yes, I thought it was happening just on the TV out (component 1080i). That is all I had used up until this problem. Searching around on this site found someone who had problems with TV-out but not DVI. So I connected the my HTPC via DVI instead of component, and found the same problem only it seems worse. However, I think the Nvidia driver version changed about the same time, from 180.35 to .37, so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway, the flashing on TV-out was more frequent and shorter durations and no X lock up (black screen). With DVI, the flashing is slower, ie. the screen goes entirely black between flashes and then locks up X shortly in less than 10 seconds. The MKV files do seem to be still playing, so I stop them and restart X.
The log output I posted was from the DVI connection. I can run that stuff over a SSH session, no problem. I'll try that tonight and see if I can't get some video.
Thanks for looking into this.

A little update... attached is another bug report, mplayer.log file, and a short video.
The problem does not manifest itself in overlay mode, that is when it is played in a window, there is no problem.
Go here for the video
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
Also, if you use a different TVStandard value (720p, 480p, 480i) does this affect the problem. What about if you remove/change the TVOverScan option?
I assume if you use Xv output in MPlayer (-vo xv, and no -vc option) does this affect anything. Can you run OpenGL applications without a problem? e.g. try glxgears, windowed and full-screen, or tuxracer/ppracer.
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
Ok, sorry, don't mean to be confusing. I've tested some 1080p clips and 480p clips.
TV in 1080i mode, connection via DVI currently (Note that I see some EDID errors, that it is incorrect about it's freq range.)
480p H264 clip (rip of a DVD):
mplayer -fs -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau ... results shown in the video I posted. (screen flashes on and off)
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau ... results in the video playing in the middle of the screen normally.
1080p clip
mplayer -fs -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau ... results similar to 480p, although flashing seems more frequent
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau ... not sure if I have tested this scenario, I may have but I will test again.
I can test with the TV in 480p or 480i mode and those gl apps. I'll try to post some more results tonight.
If I use XV mode, then things play normally albeit with some tearing on 1080p (-vo vdpau or -vo xv).
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
Here are a couple more things to try:
1) When the flashing is happening, can you run nvidia-settings, and look at the PowerMizer page. Is your GPU running at the highest performance level?
2) When the flashing is happening, does running glxinfo once a second, or running glxgears (make sure you have OpenGL sync-to-VBLANK on in nvidia-settings) make any difference?
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
1) GPU goes into the highest performance mode when playing the video
2) glxgears seemed to have the effect of vastly increasing the frequency of flashing, as compared to the video of it that I posted. When GL-sync-to-vblank was off, the glxgears running in the background seemed to prevent X from locking up. With GL-sync-to-vblank on, X locked up when I exited the video (this has been normal thru testing with composite off), but as I said, the frequency of screen flashing increased greatly.
Stephen, are we just dealing with a refresh rate / sync issue here?
TV overscan removed: no change
Using DVI, so the TV mode didn't change things, but setting the resolution to 720x480 resulted in normal playback in a 480p video. The other option between 1920x1080 is 1440x480. Wierd resolution, but video playback is "normal". That is to say there was no flashing, but definitely had a squished look to it.
1080p video plays without tearing and flashing at 720x480 and 1440x480 resolutions.
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
Another thing for you to try: Can you run in windowed mode, where the problem doesn't happen, then position the window such that the top-left corner of the window (the client area, not the title bar etc) is exactly at the top left of the display. Then, resize the window larger and larger, until almost full-screen. I believe you'll find that at some size the problem will start occurring. Once that happens, try moving the window slightly to the right (but not changing the vertical position). Does the problem go away ever? If not, try moving it down slowly, keeping aligned to the left side of the screen.
Re: Mplayer - vdpau - composite disabled screen flashing
I tried positioning a 720x480 window playing x264 video to the upper left. Boom, black screen as soon as I move the video past a certain point, to the left. This happens anywhere on the left side of the screen, but not right. The video is still playing (hearing the sound), and I can stop it. I don't know how else to recover other than restarting X.

Rome iternerary
I realize there are 1000 blogs on Rome itineraries...with our limited time I wanted to run it by some experienced veterans to get some input. :) One issue is we will be arriving on Sunday and only staying for a couple of days...I know a few things are closed on Sunday and Monday. We are going to get the Roma Pass as Rick recommends. Here is what I am thinking so far: Sunday - Arrive in Rome from Siena via Sena Bus at 11 AM (assuming/hoping this really only takes 3 hours?), take metro bus from tiburtina to our B&B near termini (20 minutes?) so we can drop our luggage, grab a fast lunch, then on to see National museum (is 2 hours enough??) followed by Borghese Gallery. Thinking about making Borghese reservations for the last one at 1700 to give us plenty of time. Monday - Vatican City (climb the dome, museum etc). Will this take the entire day? Will walk by Trevi fountain and spanish steps that night before or after dinner Tuesday - Colosseum, Roman Forum, Capiotoline Hill/museum, Arch of Constantine, St Peter in Chains, Pantheon, walk by the trajan's column and "Dolce Vita Stroll". Is all this do-able in a day or will we have extra time? Also thought about taking the elevator up the Victor Emmanuel Monument - is this worth it? Wednesday - Really really hoping to have time to see at least one of the Catacombs before we have to catch the bus to Sorrento that leaves at 1500 that day from Tiburtina. Any suggestions on this?? Now that I'm planning it out I am starting to realize we really need another day in Rome. But is there anything that I'll be missing with this plan? How much time is necessary to see National Museum? If 2 hours is accurate, would there be time to squeeze in Baths of Diocletian, Church of Santa Maria della vittoria or some of the other churches before we head to Borghese and which would you recommend?
Thanks so very very much!

I got this in a kit which I am glad I did as I am not a big fan of this lotion. I don't care much for the strong honey smell. When I squeezed some out of the tube it looked nice rich and creamy but when I went to rub it in it was like water. I have never had a lotion do that before and then the over powering smell of honey that lingers on for awhile. I will definelty not be buying this again.

Oh Burt's Bees, why did you have to do this to me? The Milk and Honey Body Lotion used to be my signature scent. It was light, non-greasy, and made my skin silky and soft. And it smelled amazing. People commented on it all the time. But then you had to go and change the formula. I appreciate the impulse to make an all natural formula but the new lotion is not a patch on the old. It's much thicker, comes in a smaller bottle, and isn't nearly as moisturizing. Honestly, though, if it wasn't for the smell, I'd still be buying this. It's not the worst thing I've ever smelled, but it makes me miss the old scent so much and it's absolutely no substitute. Am now on the hunt for a reasonably priced all natural body lotion to become my new staple - Nubian Heritage Goat's Milk and Chai may be my new choice.

I am a huuuuge fan of the entire Burt's bees line. This lotion always brings memories of summer, almost a suntan lotion. The only thing that I don't like is how runny the lotion, but I suppose that is the toss up for lack of chemicals. I am always being complimented on the smell.

Milk and honey sounds lovely, doesn't it? You'd expect a creamy, sweet scent with a lot of zing from the honey. Another reviewer described the scent perfectly with the word "rancid". It reminds me a bit of the body lotion by Fresh. That one smelled like hot garbage, and while this one doesn't smell nearly that bad, the same notes are present. The scent is not pleasant, but is not unusable either. It fades to smell reasonable within a few hours. The lotion itself is a thicker texture than most lotions, which is nice. It's very creamy and moisturizers quite well, but doesn't sink into the skin as well as I'd like. There's still a waxy feel to the skin several hours after application, like it never absorbed in all the way.
Performance: Just okay. There are much better lotions out there.
Scent: This is really important to me, and the scent on this one is quite unpleasant for awhile. Not good.
I like that Burts Bees uses more natural ingredients than other companies and that they don't test on animals.

This lotion is another reminder of why I adore the Burt's Bees line so much. This lotion is really rather moisturizing. It makes my skin very soft, especially when I apply it after using 100 Percent Pure's Organic Coconut body scrub. HEAVENLY. My skin is impossibly soft at the moment, and this lotion is a huge part of that. The scent is something I personally like. Because it's "milk & honey" it smells super creamy, but there is also a very fresh citrusy note in there as well. This component makes me think this may be better for summer use. In cool weather, it's okay as the milk and honey smell gives it a super warm and creamy scent yet I still feel this lotion has summer written all over it. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin. I feel well moisturized all day and I apply it all over my body after each shower. My skin looks and feels very healthy at the moment. I will get myself another bottle when the weather heats up for sure.

If it wasn't for the scent I would give this product a higher score. I love that it doesn't have all the bad chemicals of other lotions and it is creamy. It's effectiveness in smoothing rough skin is good. My husband and I both had problems with the strong, not great scent and couldn't wait to finish it. I was quite disappointed about that because I really was excited about this product.

Absolutely love it! Wouldn't be without it. It smells unbelieveably amazing, but is not too strong. Soaks into the skin really well, is mostly natural, and even has a relaxing effect. Best lotion ever!

I don't really care much about body lotions, washes, etc. - usually I just get the thing that is cheapest that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. This lotion, though, is worth the couple extra bucks. It is really dense - a little goes a long way - and sinks it quickly. It moisturizes well and never irritates my skin. The best aspect of it is easily the smell. It smells so good - not like perfume or chemicals or fake flowers, but just a bit like honey. I wish I could describe it better. I love this lotion, definitely an HG.

very hydrating. I like that it's natural. the scent is okay, doesn't bother me since its natural fragrance. it does fade but I could see why some people might not like it. this is the new and improved formula. I may repurchase in future but I also like aveeno too.

Definitely one of my HG body lotions! Especially now that they have improved the formula (99% natural and doesn't leave a waxy residue on the skin anymore). Here are my reasons for the 5 lippies ~the smell is divine ~readily available ~all natural ~and super moisturizing. Now it can seem a bit pricy but you can find it on sale at target and other drugstores!

by Samantha Field cross posted from her blog Defeating The Dragons I've been looking forward to Dianna Anderson's Damaged Goods: New Perspectives on Christian Purity for well over a year now, so when it came in the mail a few weeks ago I was thrilled to pieces.

Quoting Quiverfull: Fashion Leads to Lust?
by Stephanus Blignaut from Go Tell My People - Modesty: Discouraging Lust and Encouraging Godliness Women are so easily caught up in "what everyone is doing" or what is available in the shops and what is promoted in magazines and TV. They don't think about how their body is portrayed and what it causes in men – the stumbling block it becomes for men. Women condemn lust in a man when they see it but somehow they don't make the connection between the condemnable lust and their own clothes that they are wearing. Not realizing this makes them stand guilty before God as a stumbling stone because of the lust they caused. … [Read more...]

Patriarchy in Homeschool Culture
by Samantha Field cross posted from her blog Defeating the Dragons I grew up in a subculture of evangelical Christianity that's known as "Christian Patriarchy," which is what the people who preach and teach this "lifestyle" un-ironically call it.

By John Grabski - September 27, 2004
This useful utility not only allows overclocking control,
but also monitor calibration, color correction, and desktop tweak options. The
only gripe is that this card works just fine at the Gainward specified maximum
frequencies. Huh? Of course, that would sound like a good thing if I didn't tell
you that the card operates safely without artifacts at 400 core, 850 memory. The
EXperTool software only allows for core speed adjustment up to 375MHz, 25 less
than the card can do using coolbits2. So, basically, this card is capable of
75mhz over the nVidia core spec for the 6800NU, and 150mhz over the nVidia
memory spec of the 6800NU. In a word, great.
Lots of budget-minded enthusiasts are wondering how this
card stacks up against the high-end of the previous generation. I do not have an
nv35/38 at my disposal, however, I do have an nv30. That's right, the infamous
2-slot 500/1000 tank of a video card. Driver 66.00 was also used on the 5800U,
and in the performance chart, 8xAF is used in place of 16xAF, since that's all
the FX line can do. Also, the *** in the Savage column denotes that the 5800U
for some reason could not access the 16x12 resolution in that game.

By Aaron Sayama, Summer 2012 Intern
On July 18, 2012, the Honorable Madeleine Bordallo of Guam, hosted a Guam Liberation Day ceremony on Capitol Hill, celebrating Guam's liberation by the U.S. during World War II. Since being liberated, Guam was designated as an unincorporated territory of the United States by the Guam Organic Act of 1950, which, among other things, granted U.S. citizenship to individuals born in Guam and introduced Guamanian representation in the House of Representatives.
At this year's celebration, local Chamorro families prepared traditional island cuisine such as tangy kelaguen, salty fina'denne, spicy månnok kadon pika and sweet, syrupy latiyas. While guests sampled the island's cuisine, traditional Chamorro dancers performed on stage. Through reenactments of traditional fertility and warrior dances, the audience experienced a taste of ancient Chamorro festivals.
As the son of Guamanian parents (my father is Chamorro and my mother, while Caucasian, grew up in Guam and speaks Chamorro fluently), I relish the opportunity to connect with my cultural heritage. Cultural events hosted in the hallowed halls of the American government speak to the vibrant diversity of the American community and its willingness to welcome people from all communities in shared celebration. It reminds me of the traditional Chamorro value system known as inafa'maolek. While there is no direct translation of this value system in English, inafa'maolek privileges the collective good over individual needs and desires. These guiding principles are deeply embedded within Chamorro culture and speak to our practice of mutual respect. The Guam Liberation Day celebration was a great way to experience the diverse cultures that make up the fabric of our diverse nation.

Each young man will participate thoughtfully and worthily in the ordinance of the sacrament.
Materials needed:
Scriptures for each young man.
Pencils for marking scriptures.
Because we partake of the sacrament every week, we sometimes lose sight of its sacredness. Through this lesson, impress upon the young men the significance of this holy ordinance.
Suggested Lesson Development
Scripture and discussion
Have the young men read John 1:29. Explain that the firstborn lamb was offered as a sacrifice to the Lord during the days of the Old Testament. Point out that just as the lamb was symbolic of the Savior before his final sacrifice, the sacrament is in remembrance of the sacrifice he made for us.
Have the young men explain what the bread and water symbolize.
The Sacrament Reminds Us of Jesus' Sacrifice and Our Covenants
Scripture, chalkboard, and discussion
Read Luke 22:19–20.
- •
What was the occasion when Jesus instituted the sacrament? (After the Last Supper, just before his suffering in Gethsemane.)
- •
Why did Jesus institute the sacrament? (To leave us a tangible reminder of him.)
Summarize the discussion by writing the following words on the chalkboard: The sacrament reminds us of Jesus and his sacrifice for us.
Adviser presentation
Explain that the purpose of the sacrament is twofold: not only is it a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice, but it is also an opportunity to covenant with the Lord that we will do what he has asked of us. The sacrament prayers mention three specific promises we make.
Scripture, chalkboard, and discussion
- •
Where are the sacrament prayers found? (In Doctrine and Covenants 20:77, 79 and Moroni 4:3; 5:2.)
Read and underline Doctrine and Covenants 20:77 (or Moroni 4:3).
- •
What three things do we "witness," or promise, that we will do when we take the sacrament?
Write the three promises on the chalkboard.
We promise to—
Take upon us the name of Christ.
Always remember him.
Keep his commandments.
Thought question
- •
Do you really try to keep these promises?
- •
When did you first make these promises? (At baptism.)
Briefly discuss each of the promises, using questions and stories similar to these:
- •
What does it mean to take upon us the name of Christ? (To be willing to live by the teachings of Christ at all times and in all places. See Mosiah 5:5–7; 18:8–9.)
- •
When we take upon us Christ's name, what can people expect of us? (That we will try to live by Christ's teachings and bring honor to him.)
- •
What would others think of Christ if they judged him by the way we, as his disciples, act?
Case study
You have just moved into a new neighborhood. A group of boys comes up before school to meet you. The boys introduce themselves and ask about you—about your family, your old school, your interests, your religion.
- •
What would you do? Would you be proud to tell them that you belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or would you keep quiet for fear that they might not want to be your friends when they found out your religion?
- •
If you honored your promise to take upon yourself Jesus' name, what would you do?
- •
What does it mean to always remember Jesus? (To think often about him and to follow his teachings in our daily lives.)
- •
How would always remembering Jesus strengthen us to overcome the temptations of Satan?
Thought question
- •
At what times and places did you remember Jesus during the past week?
- •
What are some things that sometimes distract us from thinking about the Savior during the sacrament?
- •
What can we do as we partake of the sacrament to help us concentrate on remembering Jesus? (You may wish to write the answers on the chalkboard. Possible answers include the following: think about Jesus' life and mission and his great love for us, ponder the symbolism of the sacrament, recall the words and message of the sacrament hymn.)
- •
What can we do during the week to keep our promise to remember Jesus? (Study the scriptures, pray, attend seminary and other Church meetings, act as if Jesus were with us, obey his commandments, and show love to our families and others.)
Scriptures and discussion
Read John 14:15. Discuss with the young men why keeping Jesus' commandments shows our love for him.
- •
How would always remembering Jesus make it easier for us to keep his commandments?
Read the blessing on the water (D&C 20:79 or Moroni 5:2). Explain that wine was formerly used for this ordinance (see Doctrine and Covenants 27, section heading and verses 1–2).
- •
Which is the only promise that is mentioned in both prayers? (To always remember Jesus.)
- •
If we faithfully keep both the spirit and the letter of this promise, how will we act? Will we have to be reminded to keep the other two promises?
The Lord's Spirit Will Be with Those Who Partake of the Sacrament Worthily
Chalkboard and discussion
- •
What does the Lord promise if we keep the covenants we make when we partake of the sacrament? (That we will always have his Spirit with us.)
Add the following to the chalkboard: God promises to give us his Spirit.
- •
What differences does it make in your life to have the Lord's Spirit with you? (We can enjoy such fruits of the Spirit as knowledge, comfort, and guidance.)
- •
How can having the Spirit help you live the gospel?
Scripture and discussion
Explain that to receive the constant guidance of the Holy Spirit, it is not enough just to partake of the sacrament. We must do so worthily.
Read 1 Corinthians 11:27–30.
- •
What does Paul say about those who take the sacrament unworthily? (He says that they are "guilty of the body and blood" of Christ, that they do it to their own damnation or condemnation.)
- •
Does this mean that we have to be perfect to take the sacrament? (No, but we should be striving to live the gospel and should be repenting of any transgressions.)
- •
How can we prepare ourselves to partake of the sacrament worthily? (By repenting daily, seeking forgiveness from those we have hurt, and remembering Christ and his sacrifice often. During the sacrament service, we can review in our minds the sacrament prayers and pray for strength to keep our covenants.)
- •
The scripture says, "Let a man examine himself." How would examining our lives frequently make it easier to partake of the sacrament in the right spirit?
- •
Why would during the sacrament be a good time to examine our lives?
One of the blessings of partaking of the sacrament is that it can renew us spiritually and thus strengthen us to live the gospel more fully. Elder Melvin J. Ballard said:
"I have always looked upon this blessed privilege as the means of spiritual growth, and there is none other quite so fruitful in the achievement of that end as the partaking, worthily, of the sacrament of the Lord's supper. We eat food to stimulate our physical bodies. Without the partaking of food we would become weak and sickly, and fail physically. It is just as necessary, for our spiritual body, that we should partake of this sacrament and by it obtain spiritual food for our souls. …
"Who is there among us that does not wound his spirit by word, thought, or deed, from Sabbath to Sabbath? We do things for which we are sorry and desire to be forgiven, or we have erred against someone and given injury. … The method to obtain forgiveness is not through rebaptism; … it is to repent of our sins, to go to those against whom we have sinned or transgressed and obtain their forgiveness and then [go] to the sacrament table where, if we have sincerely repented and put ourselves in proper condition, we shall be forgiven, and spiritual healing will come to our souls" (Sermons and Missionary Services of Melvin J. Ballard, comp. Bryant S. Hinckley [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1949], pp. 148–49).
Read the following challenge to the young men:
"Young men of the Aaronic Priesthood, you who are charged with the responsibility of the sacrament, study its meaning, its sacredness, and the sacred responsibility that comes with this great privilege" (John H. Vandenberg, "The Presiding Bishop Speaks about the Sacrament," Improvement Era, Nov. 1967, p. 16).
Share your testimony of the sacredness of the sacrament, of the importance of preparing to take the sacrament worthily, and of the blessings that come from worthily partaking of it.
Encourage the young men to memorize the location in the scriptures of the sacrament prayers; the priests will say them often.

As for international mail coming into the United States, the government already has the right to open those letters without a warrant. Under a trade act passed in 2002, 107 H.R. 3009, Congress expanded the Custom Service's ability to open international mail without a warrant.
When it comes to electronic mail, the government may not need a warrant to search your messages. By claiming that your e-mail is stored on third-party servers held by Yahoo and such companies and citing the Stored Communications Act, the government doesn't need to get access to your personal computer at home in order to read your e-mail.
In a recent mail-fraud case, the Federal Trade Commission and FBI simply obtained a court order -- not a warrant -- to access the e-mail accounts of Steven Warshak, a businessman who sells male enhancement products online.

Pad Thai is a popular Thai dish featuring rice noodles with eggs and fish sauce. It is traditionally served with a piece of lime on a banana flower.
Combine the tofu with half the tamari, half the fish sauce and the sugar, marinate for 20 minutes. Combine the remaining soy, tamarind and fish sauce in a bowl, set aside.
Heat half the oil in a wok, add the garlic, cook for 15 seconds, then add the tofu and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the beaten egg and let it cook until it sets around the tofu. Break into large pieces and remove to set aside and keep warm.
Add the remaining oil to the wok, add the noodles and stir fry vigorously folding them over. Fold in the bean sprouts, spring onions and sugar snap peas and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the dried shrimp, then the soy mixture. Fold in the egg-tofu mix.
Sprinkle on the peanuts and coriander and serve with bowls of the garnishes.

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Other Whites are the best wines to pair with Pad Thai noodles with tofu.

Grocery Shop for Less
by Sarah Delaporte
I have found some tips about grocery shopping that you won't find in Good Housekeeping magazine. If you use these methods, you can easily cut your grocery bill by a minimum of 30%.
Have you ever enjoyed a product (such as Tropicana Juice) so much that you wished that you could let the company know? Have you ever had a problem with a company and you wanted to let them know about it? Companies thrive on consumer input. This is why most grocery products have an address and phone number you can contact on the back of the product. If you have a compliment or complaint, you can let the company know.
When you contact a company concerning their product, be sure to request coupons good on that product. First, let them know what you like or dislike about their product. Second, request the coupons. Ninety percent of companies will send you coupons good for money off their product, five percent will send you coupons good for a FREE product (you are required to pay sales tax) and the other five percent will send you a letter or recipes.
This is a great way to receive coupons good on products you buy at the grocery store.
Another more common way to save money on your grocery bill is to use coupons with a store sale. You can cut your grocery bill by 1/3 by using this simple method.
